| berend | darkelfjuggalo: you want to look for lines with (EE) or (WW). | 00:01 |
| john38 | audictive, i am in 12.04 Try Ubuntu option ..you want me to type lsblk in terminal | 00:01 |
| Ghjnut | Can anyone help me free up some space on my boot partition, running an ubuntu 12.04 server edition | 00:02 |
| audictive | john38: try that "lsblk" command yes | 00:02 |
| Ghjnut | Can't run updates and not sure what I can purge | 00:02 |
| minimec | darkelfjuggalo: Oh... ;) I see. The thing is, that you have to check that first... Have you checked, whether there is an alternative (flashback/fallback) desktop manager option with the graphical greeter. If you are lucky you can login to that session. | 00:02 |
| darkelfjuggalo | there is a lot there... ww I see 8 from top to bottom ee I see zero | 00:03 |
| john38 | audictive, ok it says how do i pastebin again?? | 00:03 |
| berend | darkelfjuggalo: fatal errors will be more at the bottom | 00:03 |
| berend | not every not found is fatal. | 00:04 |
| darkelfjuggalo | minimec how do I check the fallback/flashback? | 00:04 |
| Guest43787 | i need to run this file called "start_navicat" it type is "shell script (application/x-shellscript)" how do i run it? | 00:04 |
| audictive | john38: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 00:04 |
| darkelfjuggalo | berend all ww says does not exist | 00:04 |
| berend | what's the last ww/ee ? | 00:05 |
| minimec | darkelfjuggalo: Click on the 'ubuntu logo' next to the usernme on the graphical login manager. | 00:05 |
| berend | darkelfjuggalo: given that it appears you are logged in on a text console, you can also try to type in: "startx" | 00:05 |
| darkelfjuggalo | last two ww say 'falling back to old probe method modsetting' and 'fbdev' | 00:05 |
| berend | that should start X from your text console. | 00:06 |
| berend | darkelfjuggalo: that sounds like can't find graphics driver. | 00:06 |
| Guest43787 | anyone? | 00:06 |
| john38 | audictive, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7303316/ | 00:07 |
| minimec | darkelfjuggalo: You have indeed a problem with your GPU driver. So if you can choose 'Flashback (Metacity)' | 00:07 |
| berend | Guest43787: if you saved it, open terminal, and type: sh ~/Downloads/start_navicat | 00:07 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I did startx and I have a black screen I can do nothing on | 00:07 |
| Guest43787 | berend thanks | 00:07 |
| k1l | darkelfjuggalo: startx is a bad idea on ubuntu | 00:08 |
| darkelfjuggalo | how do I choose flashback(Metacity) | 00:08 |
| berend | darkelfjuggalo: if it stays black, and you're not dropped back to your console, follow minimec's suggestion. | 00:08 |
| k1l | it does spoil the file permissions on .XAuthority. chown to you user again and then start the lightdm | 00:09 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Sure, I'll try, shoow us -> dpkg -l | grep linux-image- | pastebinit , dpkg -l | grep linux-headers- | pastebinit <- will see what there is to do. | 00:09 |
| minimec | darkelfjuggalo: Klick on the 'ubuntu logo' next to your username on the graphical greeter... | 00:09 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I had to power off because I couldn't return to my console | 00:09 |
| audictive | john38: it is interesting that it doesn't see the hdd.. have you tried Jordan_U's suggestions? | 00:10 |
| john38 | audictive, yes i did im pastinbin right now you want to see it | 00:11 |

| Bray90820 | Is there any difference between a single and double quote in the terminal | 01:24 |
| ddelrio1986 | john38, I've already done that. Windows 8.1 is installed and I have 250GB of unallocated space available for Ubuntu. | 01:24 |
| ddelrio1986 | I've disabled secure boot, Intel Rapid Start, and fast boot as well. | 01:25 |

| john38 | ddelrio1986, oh thats a little over my head lol isnt that an option you have to enable or disable in BIOS | 01:30 |
| ddelrio1986 | john38, I think I'll just manually install it to the empty space which won't allow me to boot windows. Then I'll use boot repair to allow windows to work again. | 01:30 |
| ddelrio1986 | On some UEFI computers you can change them to work in legacy mode but on this one you can't. | 01:30 |
| john38 | oh | 01:30 |
| ddelrio1986 | Besides Ubuntu should work just find when installed in UEFI mode. | 01:30 |
| john38 | ddelrio1986, by any chance are you familiar with systemrescuecd | 01:31 |
| EricRabil | hi | 01:31 |
| EricRabil | either im blind or they took it down, | 01:31 |
| EricRabil | but, | 01:31 |
| whoever | hi, all, i need some help adding a network printer an epson wf3520 | 01:32 |
| EricRabil | where is the windows installer (wubi) on the download page? i dont see it anymore | 01:32 |
| john38 | I got a question is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu but keep remaining files intact and access them with reinstalled ubuntu | 01:32 |
| k1l_ | EricRabil: dont use wubi. make a real install or use a live system | 01:32 |
| EricRabil | why cant i use wubi? its worked in the past | 01:32 |
| whoever | i am tring to add it through the setting and the window seems to look up and "force quite " | 01:32 |
| EricRabil | i tried to do a live install as i cant find the installer, | 01:33 |
| john38 | Anybody here have any experience with Systemerescuecd for Linux??? | 01:33 |
| k1l_ | EricRabil: because it has issues with modern windows and modern kernels | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | my pc does not detect it and reboots when attempting to load in | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | it works with windows 8 | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | no wait | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | no it doesnt, i meant windows 7 | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | typo xD | 01:33 |
| EricRabil | it worked for windows 7 when i last used in | 01:33 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: http://pastebin.com/6g9sPv20 even directly testing the analog sound device errors. | 01:34 |
| SchrodingersScat | EricRabil: afaik it's being phased out because it was always not really the best solution and had some arbitrary limitations iirc | 01:35 |
| john38 | Anybody here have any experience with Systemerescuecd for Linux??? | 01:35 |
| john38 | is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu but keep remaining files intact and access them with reinstalled ubuntu | 01:36 |
| EricRabil | is there any remaining download links? its the only one i know that works, i tried to use the installer and it didnt detect my current OS so i cant dual boot. i tried partitioning but my pc does not allow me to boot into the partion | 01:36 |
| psusi | john38, yes | 01:36 |
| john38 | psusi, yes to what? | 01:36 |
| psusi | yes you can reinstall unbuntu but keep your files intact | 01:36 |
| john38 | psusi, i got a problem | 01:36 |
| john38 | psusi, my ubuntu crashed and says reboot and insert boot media when ready | 01:37 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: Now I have to admit that I dint't have to dig alsa configuration for years... Well in 'good old days' I had to... I still think we are getting closer, but you probably adapt you alsa-base.conf to fit your hardware. | 01:37 |
| john38 | psusi, im trying to access system with systemrescuecd do you know anything about that | 01:37 |
| psusi | nope | 01:37 |
| EricRabil | unless someone has a tutorial that can be done in 2 hours or less to dual boot ubuntu and windows, i really need wubi... | 01:38 |
| psusi | the ubuntu desktop install cd should be able to do anything you need though | 01:38 |
| EricRabil | a side note: ubuntu cant detect my OS (i attempted install with flashdrive) | 01:38 |
| psusi | EricRabil, pop in the install cd, boot from it, choose install beside windows... wait ~20 minutes... done. | 01:38 |
| john38 | psusi, does lucid lynx have the option to keep files | 01:38 |
| EricRabil | is flashdrive not a good idea? | 01:39 |
| psusi | john38, don't thik so... lucid is *very* old | 01:39 |
| EricRabil | i mean i can do a cd, its just i dont have that big of a cd atm | 01:39 |
| SchrodingersScat | EricRabil: hmm, thought it came on some of the iso's, but I only have back to 13.04, and I do not see it on that. I could be remembering that completely wrong, keep that in mind | 01:39 |
| EricRabil | wait you're confusing me... | 01:40 |
| EricRabil | what came on some isos | 01:40 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: OK. that is good info, we can work with that. See if you can duplicate this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174867 <- Post #11. Look the thread over carefully, see if you understand how to adapt your situation to that of post # 11. | 01:40 |
| EricRabil | are you talking about wubi or installation dual boot | 01:40 |
| gshmu | Non-ASCII character '\xcb' in file What should i do? | 01:40 |
| psusi | EricRabil, flash drive works too | 01:40 |
| EricRabil | Okay scratch off WUBI, i have one question | 01:40 |
| SchrodingersScat | EricRabil: i thought i remembered seeing a wubi.exe in there, as like an option for people, what do you mean download link? but yeah, do a flash drive if you can? but you said computer wouldn't boot it? | 01:41 |
| john38 | Anybody here have any experience with Systemerescuecd for Linux??? | 01:41 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: I don't have anything fancy.. just a normal last year Gigabyte Intel motherboard with onboard sound. | 01:41 |
| EricRabil | Why cant my installer see that I have another OS installed | 01:41 |
| EricRabil | my installer is being run from a flash drive | 01:41 |
| EricRabil | if that says anything | 01:41 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: no GPU.. just onboard video. | 01:41 |
| psusi | EricRabil, be more specific... the output of sudo parted -l in a terminal might be helpful ( pastebin ) | 01:41 |
| SchrodingersScat | EricRabil: installer for what? what's the other os? | 01:41 |
| EricRabil | the current os is Windows 7. i need to install a linux system, Ubuntu (cuz i love it), to run this program that currently is for mac and linux only. i want to dual boot cause im scared to switch completely. however, in the installer, it says it does not detect another operating system, so i only have the option to format my hard drive OR install to partition. i chose partition, installed partition, rebooted, but i cant find any opt | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | says that the partition is in a filetype unknown | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | so | 01:43 |
| Ghjnut | Bashing-om: I'll check it out | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | theres your detailed explanation to my problem :P | 01:43 |
| ddelrio1986 | Should your swap be a logical partition? | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | so the question is... | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | why? | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | why it no see my os | 01:43 |
| EricRabil | :D | 01:43 |
| psusi | EricRabil, again, need more details... start with the output of sudo parted -l in a pastebin | 01:44 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: So probably something like 'options snd_hda_intel index=<number>' | 01:44 |
| EricRabil | how can i get to that..? | 01:44 |
| psusi | EricRabil, open a terminal, type "sudo parted -l" copy and paste the output to pastebin.com | 01:44 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Look it over, if needed, we will discuss, ( there was no point in me reinventing someone else's wheel ) . | 01:44 |
| EricRabil | i'll do my best | 01:45 |
| EricRabil | i'll be back when done | 01:45 |
| EricRabil | gotta reload os | 01:45 |
| EricRabil | :F | 01:45 |
| psusi | EricRabil, you can get on irc from the desktop cd ;) | 01:45 |
| * psusi goes to pour himself another drink while waiting for this compile to finish and listening to bloodhound gang | 01:46 | |
| john38 | Can somebody help me out quick?? | 01:46 |
| SchrodingersScat | psusi: please be more specific | 01:46 |
| Busybyeski | i still have ubuntu one in my launcher and top panel after 14.04 is that intended? thought they were phasing it out | 01:46 |

| psusi | SchrodingersScat, you know that because you have a double "Ss" in your spelling, you are named after a man's poo right? | 01:48 |
| Ghjnut | Bashing-om: So in a nutshell: 1.Determine current version 2. manually remove headers of preceding images 3. remove modules of those headers and boot images 4. repair 5. properly remove old kernels/headers | 01:48 |
| john38 | I suspect that my harddrive has failed because im trying to reinstall ubuntu but the installation steps are not recognizing partitions for Mount | 01:48 |
| SchrodingersScat | psusi: it can mean other things | 01:49 |
| psusi | john38, open the disk utility and check the drive's SMART health status | 01:49 |
| john38 | psusi, i cant even access the system | 01:49 |
| psusi | john38, boot from the install cd | 01:49 |
| john38 | psusi, i booted from livecd and chose "Try ubuntu" it wont recognize any previous partition or disk | 01:50 |
| EricRabil | dont have much time before the ubuntu internet gives out | 01:50 |
| EricRabil | what do i put in the terminal? | 01:50 |
| john38 | psusi, even after running sudopart -l in terminal | 01:50 |
| EricRabil | quickly, rapido! | 01:51 |
| john38 | psusi, check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/7303332/ | 01:51 |
| SchrodingersScat | EricRabil: sudo parted -l | 01:52 |
| psusi | john38, doesn't look good... likely the drive is totally dead... pastebin /var/log/syslog | 01:52 |
| john38 | psusi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7303316/.....this is after typeing ...lsblk | 01:53 |
| EricRabil | http://pastebin.com/z34dxz57 | 01:53 |
| EricRabil | i shall reconnect to a stronger connection | 01:53 |
| johndropper | which dir can i find my apps in? | 01:53 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Yeah, You are running kernel .43 do not mess with it, or any of them above (44 & 48). We can hope that 'install -f' will take care of them. // make your strings up in accord with your 'dpkg -l' outputs. When done and the system is stable, there will remain some more clen up to do. We will get to that clean up . | 01:54 |
| EricRabil | so | 01:54 |
| EricRabil | hope that pastebin thing helps | 01:54 |
| Bashing-om | clen/clean * | 01:54 |
| EricRabil | :D | 01:54 |
| EricRabil | the 69 gb is the linux install | 01:55 |
| EricRabil | idk why theres two | 01:55 |
| psusi | EricRabil, hrm.. nothing wrong there... you are sure the installer doesn't give the option for a side by side install? | 01:56 |

| === Guest85373 is now known as denysonique_ | ||
| psusi | john38, system doesn't seem to see it *at all*... does your bios see it? if not, it's either disconnected/bad cable, or completely toast and gone | 01:57 |
| john38 | psusi, you know let me see ...i'll check BIOS | 01:58 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: In the 'dpkg -l ' output, ignore those that are marked "rc" (Removed/Config files remain) .. that is but part of the clean up ! | 02:00 |

| ElixirVitae | I can't seem to play youtube videos with Firefox or Chromium. | 02:07 |
| ns5 | I'm try to use PROMPT_COMMAND to change the title of windows putty window, ubuntu server 12.04.4. It does not work, any idea? | 02:08 |
| ElixirVitae | And I tried Chrome, and it works fine. | 02:08 |
| johndropper | Elixirvitae: Install google chrome | 02:08 |
| uwe | Hello, I'm still running 13.04, I can't find an easy way to trigger upgrade, using the software update or running do-release-upgrade both return saying no new release found | 02:08 |
| ElixirVitae | What might be the reason? | 02:08 |
| k1l_ | ElixirVitae: install peppflash-nonfree | 02:08 |
| Iriez | Could someone help me implement this script into my ubuntu install? http://askubuntu.com/questions/105266/upstart-jobs-and-init-d-scripts-not-launching | 02:08 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Catching up, looking at /tSUQTyyu . | 02:09 |
| ElixirVitae | What is thati k1l_? | 02:09 |
| ElixirVitae | Also, I didn't have this problem until two days ago. | 02:09 |
| Iriez | (and to verify its executing) | 02:09 |
| k1l_ | uwe: make sure the update-path does not link to LTS (under updates in system settings) | 02:09 |
| minimec | ElixirVitae: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' will install lots of codecs and also flash. For chromium there is a new 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' for 14.04. | 02:09 |
| john38 | psusi, damn you were right it was a loose or bad cable something boots up fine now | 02:09 |
| k1l_ | ElixirVitae: that is the flash from google because adobe doesnt ship flash anymore | 02:09 |
| ElixirVitae | I'm on 12.04, minimec | 02:09 |
| k1l_ | ElixirVitae: its the flash that is build in chrome | 02:10 |
| ElixirVitae | But I tried with HTML5 and I still couldn't play? | 02:10 |
| minimec | ElixirVitae: Ok. Still ubuntu-restricted-extras is available for your distro. But you said you had it working until 2 days ago. So flash is installed but not working. In that case I don't have a suggestion right now. On my 12.04 desktop flash works. | 02:11 |
| EricRabil | ahem | 02:13 |
| EricRabil | who was i talking to earlier about my linux issue? | 02:13 |
| EricRabil | the one i gave my pastebin to? | 02:13 |
| ElixirVitae | Version 57 of restricted-extras, which seems current, is installed in my system. | 02:13 |
| uwe | k1l_, in the software update, i've made sure that the check is for "any new version", i assume this is the equivelnt, as i do not have "updates" in system settings | 02:14 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: YES ! .. looking good ! .. OK, show me a new -> dpkg -l | grep linux- <- . And I bet we are ready to start the cleanup things. | 02:14 |
| k1l_ | uwe: yes | 02:14 |
| k1l_ | uwe: what which version does "lsb_release -a" give you? | 02:14 |
| uwe | raring | 02:15 |
| uwe | i can always force upgrade by changing raring to saucy in /etc/apt/sources.list , but i dont understand why this is not being triggered | 02:15 |
| johndropper | how do you install a printer in ubuntu 14.04? i click printers and nothing happens | 02:15 |

| uwe | k1l_, last info appended to the same url | 02:19 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: Well that's a start... ;) I think you can configure alsa with an '.alsarc' in the usrs /home directory. On the other hand, it could simply be, that you have to add the user to the 'audio' group in /etc/group | 02:20 |
| k1l_ | uwe: hmm. that looks good so far. can you try to change to the main-servers instead of the local ones? | 02:20 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: I've already added my main user to audio but that didn't seem to allow it to play sounds. | 02:21 |
| uwe | sure, but if that works, thats quit alarming ... | 02:21 |

| johndropper | my printer iconwill not open so i can add a printer | 02:22 |
| johndropper | any help? | 02:22 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: I guess it needs a small tweak in /etc/modrpobe.d/alsa-base.conf again. | 02:24 |
| johndropper | ok dont everyone jump at once | 02:24 |
| uwe | k1l_, sure, but if that works, thats quit alarming ... (so far it seems to be fetching stuff, that it did not in the past - This is the GUI tool this time) | 02:24 |
| uwe | k1l_, nop, reported questioning internet connectivity, then said not updates, i'll try from the command line | 02:25 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Let's do some clean up; 1st steps -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade . If that runs well, we start removing no longer need stuff. | 02:25 |
| uwe | k1l_, command line (apt-get update ; do-release-upgrade) behaves the same : https://textb.org/t/m27vd0envk/ | 02:27 |
| berend | johndropper: is there an add printer button? | 02:28 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: Is there still a 'pulse' group in /etc/group? Well I would remove that one, if it exists... | 02:29 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: Yay, sound works. It seems all I had to do was add my user to audio AND REBOOT. | 02:30 |
| k1l_ | uwe: hmm. that should not be an issue at all. can you try to run a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" just to make sure your system is fully upgraded so far (package-wise) | 02:30 |
| mikeche1en | if i am connected to a vpn, is there any way to access devices on the local network as well? | 02:30 |
| uwe | k1l_, non, all 0 | 02:30 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: I just checked that. There is no 'normal' user added to 'pulse' or 'pulse-access', but still... | 02:31 |
| Evil_Creep | minimec: Doesn't matter now.. PulseAudio is removed. But sound works now. | 02:32 |
| k1l_ | uwe: ok last thing i would suggest is to remove the PPAs that error anyways. maybe that blocks something (which should not block something) | 02:32 |
| minimec | Evil_Creep: Congrats... ;) | 02:32 |

| sig3579 | Hello all, I have a cinnamon related question and I thought this was the best place to ask. I search online and the best solution was to use dconf however I could not get it to correct the issue. My window background is black and I would like to change it. Running ubuntu 14.04 and latest cinnamon nightly. Screenshot here: http://imagebin.org/306868 Thank you in advance. | 02:41 |
| k1l_ | sig3579: best is to ask the mint guys (or the PPA maintainer). cinnamon got removed from 14.04 repos (and debian repos aswell) | 02:42 |
| raparkhurst | K1l and ubotto: Thanks for the response.. I saw that...Is it intended to be included and there wasn't time for the release or is it being phased out? | 02:42 |
| k1l_ | raparkhurst: just read the first sentences on the link i gave you | 02:42 |
| sig3579 | k1l: is it coming back to the repos once its tested and stable? | 02:42 |
| sig3579 | I asked the question there as well, waiting patiently. | 02:43 |
| raparkhurst | k1l_: ah ok...thanks and sorry for the question | 02:43 |
| veturi__ | Anybody know why i have no syslogs? | 02:43 |

| minimec | johndropper: That's not a bug, but a feature... ;) <- Sorry for that personal joke. Try to launch 'software-center' once in a terminal. Maybe you get some indications, why it fails... | 02:49 |
| joseluis64 | johndropper I suggest you to not rely so much on the software center, better use synaptic | 02:49 |
| johndropper | yeah | 02:50 |
| joseluis64 | better enough use aptitude, in commandline, but very fast | 02:51 |
| johndropper | gotcha so no one knows | 02:51 |

| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Look'n at 9099031 . | 02:53 |
| joseluis64 | johndropper do what minimec told you, open it from Terminal, you should get some important output there | 02:53 |
| johndropper | this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/7303995/ | 02:53 |
| joseluis64 | it looks that some dependencies are missing (cairo) | 02:54 |
| joseluis64 | and others.. | 02:55 |
| minimec | johndropper: 'dpkg -l libcairo2' Do you se a (ii) next to it? | 02:55 |
| johndropper | you want me to run that command? | 02:56 |
| minimec | jaapio: definitely ;) | 02:56 |
| Bashing-om | Ghjnut: Great ! -> sudo apt-get autoremove , sudo apt-get clean , apt-get -f install . and the biggy -> dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge <- . | 02:57 |

| johndropper | minimec: ? | 02:59 |
| minimec | johndropper: do you use the default ubuntu unity desktop. In that case you could simply 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop'. That should install all missing dependencies on your desktop. | 02:59 |
| minimec | johndropper: So libcairo2 is installed. Try the '--reinstall' command above if you are on ubuntu unity. | 03:00 |
| fobelx | hi. i have 64-bit ubuntu and want to install 32-bit compat libs for libboost_serialization. what package do i need to install? | 03:00 |
| berend | fobelx: usually that's automatically installed for you. | 03:00 |
| berend | if it comes from a repository. | 03:00 |
| fobelx | berend: i checked my /usr/lib32/libboost_serialization* and it isn't there. | 03:01 |
| johndropper | minimec: I tried that and still no work | 03:01 |
| johndropper | i use ubuntu 14.04 desktop | 03:01 |

| Obiwantje | it has one of those i7 procs in it | 03:04 |
| Obiwantje | and single video only | 03:04 |
| minimec | johndropper: ok. You could try to rename or delete the 'software-center' folder you find in '.config' in your /home/yourname directory. Like that the software-center 'thinks' that it is started the first time. maybe that helps. Otherwise I don't have some new ideas. | 03:04 |
| berend | fobelx: probably a better way, but what about downloading the 32-bit by hand, then install with "dpkg -i" ? | 03:04 |
| minimec | johndropper: <ctrl>h in the file manager to show hidden files and directories. | 03:05 |

Also that's why I whated to be sure that all the dependencies are setup correctly (reinstall ubuntu-desktop). | 03:45 |

| shawnbon206 | hello | 03:56 |
| minimec | johndropper: It wount help, I guess. Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop should reinstall missing dependencies. I am surprised that this doesn't help. Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop did not reinstall additional software, right? As last option you could try to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure software-center', but a 'reinstall' of ubuntu-desktop should have done it. | 03:57 |

| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: where the /dev/null/ is the new location ? | 04:16 |
| Bashing-om | jimbers: Terminal command -> sudo lshw- C display <- is one way . | 04:17 |
| boompro | CrazyZurfer: Yesterday I installed on Samsung RV511 <NP-RF511-S02> there forced to select which video card to use in the settings Nvidia settings | 04:17 |
| johndropper | I cant figure this out | 04:17 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: I'd use sudo lshw>lshw.txt | 04:18 |
| jimbers | lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo lshw- C display | 04:19 |
| jimbers | sudo: lshw-: command not found | 04:19 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: That sequces hunts up all files greater than 1G and all advisories are sent to the bit bucket (/dev/null) the result is printed to screen. | 04:19 |
| igoryonya | is there any way to limit the processor usage procentagewise for some program, like firefox, for example, so I could launch that program and it will not be able to use more then, for example, 40% of the CPU speed. | 04:19 |
| jimbers | thats a lower case L right? | 04:19 |
| bazhang | jimbers, l as in list | 04:20 |
| CrazyZurfer | boompro: that is asked when you boot or just asked once and stayed for ever? | 04:20 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: the general idea here is to find files bigger then size x and mv them to a second hd so that my ssd(of 120 gig) doesn't get to full | 04:21 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: That "lshw > lshw.txt" qould also work, with lots and lots of unwanted output. | 04:21 |
| minimec | jimbers: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep LoadModule" would give you the drivers used by the xserver right now. | 04:22 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: true but at least you are able to look at more comfortably then when it's scrolling over the display( or you have to pipe it offcourse) | 04:22 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: Well, I am sure some one who really knows their bash could craft it up. The above will list those files and from that you would have to manually move them. | 04:23 |
| shawnbon206 | ok, here we go again: i am experiencing severe tearing in videos even though vsync is on (judging by the 60fps in glxgears) and power profile is on high. i had a message in dmesg which might be related, "invalid rom contents", but searching on the internet only brought up issues which strongly seemed unrelated | 04:24 |
| boompro | CrazyZurfer: he asks which setting to use, just enter the settings Nvidia choose and remain on the new setup, but I think that a reboot is necessary in any case to switch, even though the settings said that simply make logoff | 04:24 |
| jimbers | Using paulus68 way I got a line that says PCI (sysfs) | 04:24 |
| minimec | jimbers: Well that's only partly true, but it gives you a good hint. | 04:24 |
| CrazyZurfer | boompro: okay, thanks.. i'm going to reboot now to apply changes... I'll thell you later how everything goes... | 04:24 |

| ghs | The Ubuntu 12.04 will be supported until when ? | 04:24 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: Run the -> sudo lshw -C display <- and see for youtself, compact and obly what you need to know in that context. | 04:25 |
| Paulus68 | jimbers: and now you have to look for a file named lshw.txt in your home dir and open it with gedit | 04:25 |

| roasted | Hello friends. I have a system here that resumes immediately after going into suspend mode about 50% of the time. Has anybody seen that on 14.04? | 04:31 |
| minimec | roasted: That's a 'failsave' behaviour. One of your hardware compnents does not suspend correctly, so the system does not suspend. Famous candidates are... Wifi, Bluetooth, Some USB devices. | 04:33 |
| roasted | minimec: yeah - that's what I read. I enabled WOL on the device since, well, I wanted WOL, and now it happens... | 04:33 |
| roasted | minimec: then again I do have a wireless keyboard attached. | 04:33 |
| roasted | minimec: do you know of any fixes off the top of you rhead while I google further? | 04:34 |
| minimec | roasted: I would try to eliminate possibilities. Try to suspend once with bluetooth disabled, then wifi disabled, then without external devices. If it fails, check /var/log/messeges or /var/log/syslog | 04:36 |
| Rakko | I have a gigabit ethernet card and Ubuntu only ever sets it to 100Mbps. Ethtool reports failure when I try to change it. Is that likely due merely to a lack of 1000Mbit support in the Linux driver, or is there something else I'm missing? | 04:37 |
| minimec | roasted: /var/log/messages ... sorry | 04:37 |
| roasted | minimec: thing is, if I had to bet my life on it, it'd likely be from WOL since I just enabled it and now this started. | 04:37 |
| roasted | minimec: but I *want* WOL, hence the :( | 04:37 |

| dabbler | I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04, but i do not want to update mysql-server to a newer version yet. Ive "held" the currently installed version in apt, but the distribution upgrade tool says it will remove that mysql-server package anyway. | 06:12 |
| dabbler | How can I get it to keep its hands off that package? | 06:12 |
| rww | One of the points of update-manager is to make sure that your system stays in a consistant supported state. Mix and matching versioning from different Ubuntu versions isn't supported, so it doesn't have a facility for doing that. | 06:14 |
| Prometeo | Is there any chance to use mirc with Tor? | 06:15 |
| rww | Prometeo: Yes, you'd need to use the Tor-SASL hidden service. Ask #freenode for help. | 06:16 |
| dabbler | rww: Is there a way to override it? I'm simply trying to follow the upgrade instructions for mysql-server and they may conflict with that behavior. | 06:18 |
| rww | dabbler: Not that I know of, no. | 06:19 |
| rww | dabbler: You could probably edit sources.list and upgrade that way, but that isn't supported here either, so you're on your own with that | 06:19 |
| dabbler | rww: This behavior basically means Ubuntu isn't suitable for a database server. You can't just upgrade the server version willy nilly or you'll corrupt your database. | 06:20 |
| mtozses | hi | 06:21 |
| mtozses | i need help | 06:21 |
| rww | dabbler: stopping the server, upgrading it, and starting it back up again isn't going to corrupt your database, unless your database engine sucks or you're doing something highly irregular | 06:21 |
| dabbler | rww: and I can't upgrade the db first because the more recent versions aren't in the repos for 10.04 | 06:21 |
| mtozses | after upgrading to 14.04, i can't get x anymore | 06:22 |
| Prometeo | What about freednode channel? It said, that is a general support channel, but they don't do something | 06:22 |
| rww | Prometeo: well, this is an Ubuntu support channel, so we don't do IRC help. It's a bit quiet in #freenode at this time of night, but that is the right place for help with freenode's Tor HS. | 06:23 |
| mtozses | Prometeo: #freenode is network help channel, hence the name | 06:23 |
| whynawtme | how can i tell ubuntu to stop managing a package (but leave it installed)? | 06:23 |
| rww | whynawtme: "stop managing" means what, specifically? | 06:24 |
| mtozses | !pin | whynawtme | 06:24 |
| ubottu | whynawtme: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 06:24 |
| whynawtme | it no longer shows up if a newer version is in the repos when you issue a: apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:24 |
| rww | whynawtme: yep, you're looking for pinning then. See ubottu's link. | 06:24 |
| whynawtme | thanks yeah this looks like what i'm looking for | 06:25 |
| mtozses | rww: can you help me with my issue? | 06:25 |
| rww | mtozses: nope, or I would have replied to you :) | 06:25 |

| dabbler | rww: Okay, yes, I can upgrade mysql-server without dumping to SQL, but only between "adjacent" versions, according to mysql. I can't let it uninstall the current version unless I know the next version will be available in the repo for 12.04. I guess I'll have to check the online package index against the mysql update instructions. | 06:26 |
| dabbler | rww: It would be nice to be able to not have to tackle updating the OS and the database server at the same time. | 06:27 |
| rww | dabbler: if mysql wants you to do something that update-manager doesn't want to do, then we're not going to support it and you'd need to talk to the mysql folks, unfortunately | 06:27 |
| rww | I understand your issue, but that's how it goes in here | 06:28 |
| * henry_ pins a gold star on rww | 06:28 | |
| rww | All I can say is that if there are actually problems going from mysql in 10.04 to 12.04, that'd warrant a bug report against mysql-server in Launchpad. | 06:28 |

| slyrus | any suggestions on what to do if one's nvidia drivers don't work after trusty upgrade? | 06:59 |
| Nothing_Much | slyrus: You mightneed to update the drivers | 07:00 |
| Nothing_Much | Because the proprietary drivers need to be compiled every time you install a new kernel | 07:00 |
| Nothing_Much | But that's easy with the update manager | 07:00 |
| sta7ic | slyrus: did you install proprietary drivers from nvidia beforehand? | 07:00 |
| davido | Enable proprietary repos again, perhaps. | 07:01 |
| slyrus | Nothing_Much: can I do that from apt-get? | 07:01 |
| sta7ic | slyrus: in my experience, it depends if you used the download from nvidia website vrs repo | 07:01 |
| slyrus | hrm... Ok. Can't remember what I did, tbh. | 07:02 |
| slyrus | it had been a while. | 07:02 |
| Nothing_Much | slyrus: Yes you can, you just need to know what the package name for the nvidia drivers are | 07:02 |
| sta7ic | slyrus: try it through repos first, then worst case scenario, force un-install from cmd line if you used package from nvidia itselt | 07:02 |
| davido | I remember when I upgraded to 13.10 I suddenly had all sorts of wifi grief; every time my laptop went into sleep mode, resuming would fail to get the wifi going again until reboot. Eventually a later release fixed the issue, but it makes me gunshy now. | 07:03 |
| slyrus | the odd thing is that things seemed to be basically working fine after the upgrade | 07:03 |
| slyrus | until I decided to fix the dang "canberra-gtk module not found message" | 07:03 |
| slyrus | (ignore the misplaced quotes) | 07:04 |
| slyrus | after removing the canberra-gtk packages, all of a sudden apt-get wanted to remove/update a whole mess of packages and, upon subsequent reboot, no nvidia drivers :( | 07:04 |
| slyrus | or no working nvidia drivers, anyway | 07:05 |

| berend | slyrus: try xorg edgers, perhaps newer driver works better? | 07:31 |
| slyrus | that doesn't seem totally unreasonable, just completely at odds with having to explicitly remove xorg edgers (on another box) in order to upgrade to trusty in the first place | 07:32 |
| berend | mcnesium: it probably is, but not a problem for which I would want to give too much direction, sounds like something that can go wrong very quickly :-) | 07:32 |
| berend | slyrus: I suppose you don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that can screw things up? | 07:33 |
| slyrus | possible. rerunning nvidia-xconfig now. | 07:33 |

| berend | this is the last step of the process. | 07:36 |
| berend | so after the upgrade it installs your kernel. | 07:36 |
| berend | what if you try mdadm --configure ? | 07:37 |
| slyrus | oh, nvidia you're so funny. telling me I appear to be running an X server when I ssh in because your damn drivers won't run. | 07:37 |

| mikeche1en | YatharthROCK: well you might want to file a bug, i dont have a clean system to try and reproduce the bug | 08:11 |
| berend | solars: because it's obsolete? I don't have this program either, and still have bluetooth. | 08:11 |
| mikeche1en | YatharthROCK: another option might be to use a different system monitor util and see if that helps | 08:11 |

| Kartagis | what to do if 14.04 fails to start X server if there is a nvidia involved? | 09:00 |
| berend | A single primary partition can have a lot of logical partitions. | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | Bluewolf: a drive using mbr can only have 4 primary partitions, you can use one primary to make extended partitions | 09:00 |
| Bluewolf | Ben64: I still don't get the use of Primary and Logical in setting up partitions? | 09:01 |
| Kartagis | http://paste.debian.net/95013/ <--- what do all these mean? | 09:03 |
| berend | Bluewolf: as you use an entire disk as I understood it, the difference is irrelevan.t | 09:03 |

| hrw | I want to upgrade 13.04 on slow netbook to 14.04 release. is it safe to go directly or should I wait few extra hours and do it through 13.10? | 09:43 |
| _pingu | Oohashi: ok, thanks | 09:44 |
| Oohashi | _pingu: are you using PHP? | 09:45 |
| minimec | hrw: You cannot upgrade directly from 13.04 -> 14.04. I would consider a new fresh installation of the 14.04 LTS | 09:45 |
| hrw | minimec: so I should treat ubuntu even worse then ms windows installations? reinstall every release? | 09:45 |
| nginx_ | I finally found a large force! | 09:46 |
| varunendra | hrw, I can't comment on how to upgrade, but be sure to have a good backup (system backup, using something like clonezilla) before you try either options. It is always recommended to do try a release in Live mode first, then do a clean install if that is not a problem. | 09:46 |
| minimec | hrw: No not every release, only the releases between the LTS releases. | 09:46 |
| varunendra | hrw, Ubuntu, or Linux is worse than Windows in many aspects, if you want to focus on that :p | 09:47 |
| nginx_ | How backed up it? | 09:47 |
| mortal_ | pfft buy a mac | 09:47 |
| weebl | varunendra: many aspects? :-) | 09:47 |
| minimec | hrw: You can upgrade directly 'the hacker way' but if you don't know what you are doing, you are screwed, and we have to deal with your problems here on the channel. So I would not recommend it. | 09:48 |
| varunendra | weebl, don't want to waste time on thinking and listing since the advantages are far exceeding *for me* ;) | 09:48 |

| sonjoy | yea | 09:55 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | 09:55 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 09:55 |

| bencc | bekks: I guess you don't know the answer. thanks | 10:52 |
| napcode | bencc: In the long way it'll need more RAM since you have to load all 32 bit dependencies (like libraries and stuff). 64 bit libraries are likely to be loaded already | 10:52 |
| bekks | bencc: The answer is: just use 64bit since you wont magically save lots of memory. | 10:53 |

| dunno | :) | 12:18 |
| html | GeorgesLeYeti, so whats your problem? | 12:18 |
| sakul | dastaan: is it normal that my cpu temps are 79-80 celcius degrees | 12:19 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | and when i make ip addr show eth0 it says Device "eth0" does not exist. | 12:19 |
| dastaan | not at all | 12:19 |
| dastaan | i mean technically limit is 85 | 12:19 |
| dastaan | but it will surely decrease life of your laptop | 12:19 |
| hdzahedi | excuse me, how can i renam my external hard in ubunto 12.04 | 12:19 |

| mikehaas763 | In my research I've found out that the organization behind ssh has "solutions" for ssh key discovery and management. However, I think it must be a very expensive "enterprise" level solution because I don't see a download or buy links. Is anyone aware of free ssh key discovery tools? +1 for key management and other features too. | 13:02 |
| Greylocks | guitarnut: it comes loaded in chrome and chromium too for that matter, but you can only use it in the browser, not system wide. | 13:03 |

| Rory | What's the most appropriate way to check the integrity of a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive without rebooting and selecting "verify" from that menu? | 13:25 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|Rory | 13:26 |
| ubottu | Rory: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 13:26 |

| * junka uses 64bit with no problems | 13:30 | |
| cfhowlett | JimR 64 bit works fine | 13:30 |
| JimR | not for me must be hardware I guess | 13:30 |
| junka | JimR, r u sure you have a 64bit cpu? | 13:30 |
| Rory | cfhowlett: The page makes no mention of USB flash drives, which is why I asked here - I've verified with md5sum that my .iso is correct | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | Rory wait 1 | 13:31 |
| Rory | I assume a naive "md5sum /dev/sdb" isn't appropriate? | 13:31 |
| JimR | i have core i7 that ran 64bit 13.10 no problem | 13:31 |
| Rory | JimR: What actual problem are you experiencing? | 13:31 |
| Rory | Apart from "does not work" ;) | 13:31 |
| junka | JimR, try downloading again the iso and burn it again | 13:32 |
| holstein | euryale: just insatll the repo version | 13:32 |
| holstein | install* | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | Rory no no and no. wait 1 | 13:32 |
| euryale | yes, but the problem is i already installed it and having problem how to remove it. | 13:32 |
| JimR | after a short period of time the os just locks up .... I installed via upgrade rather than an iso is this worth doing ? | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | Rory for "CD" substitute USB. same process https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#Check_the_CD | 13:33 |
| holstein | euryale: remove it as the maintainer/creator of the package you obtained suggests | 13:33 |
| glow | hay? | 13:33 |
| euryale | holstein: im lost, how? | 13:34 |
| cfhowlett | euryale you said you installed the .deb sudo dpkg -r debname | 13:34 |
| holstein | euryale: *if* is a properly installed .deb, you should see it in any package manager.. you can try gksudo gdebi-gtk, synaptic, sudo autoremove.. | 13:34 |

| Maltahl | Hey, im having trouble booting my ubuntu server after power got cut. It stucks on Starting up.... in grub. i have tried entering grub boot menu and clicking e and choosing quiet and clicking b. i have also tried recovery | 13:41 |
| euryale | Yelo: no there is none, i have looked for it. sudo dpkg -r debname worked :) | 13:41 |
| wdonkey | holstein dont doubt | 13:41 |
| wdonkey | got sda1 and sda2 used by two devices | 13:41 |
| holstein | wdonkey: i do.. show a screenshot, or output of sudo fdisk -l | 13:42 |
| wdonkey | whats a good place to paste a screen ? | 13:42 |
| euryale | running vbox on a laptop is not a good idea. | 13:42 |
| Yelu | euryale, look above (no uninstaller). - So, you are on xour way ... have fun ;-) | 13:42 |
| holstein | wdonkey: thats one using sda1 and the other sda2. thats normal | 13:42 |

| holstein | euryale: laptops are fine.. its host resources that is the question.. i use virtualbox on any capable machine.. laptop or whatever | 13:43 |
| holstein | euryale: you should try installing the repo version.. takes care of installing a needed kernel module | 13:43 |
| euryale | mine is an apu laptop 4cores, and 4gb ram, but i think its laggy or is it because i didn't install the vbox the on the repo? | 13:43 |
| wdonkey | holstein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7307129/ | 13:44 |
| holstein | wdonkey: so, whats the issue? you have 2 drives sharing which of those? | 13:45 |
| Yelu | euryale, i7@2,6GHz, 8GB RAM => no problem to me running 2 guests: 1 small xp instance with 1GB for the "elder ones", 1 ubuntu sever 2GB RAM (full lamp flavor) | 13:46 |
| wdonkey | holstein the issue is that i cant have the sda1 / sda2 hdd to be mounted apparently because htey are conflicting with usb's device name | 13:46 |
| Yelu | euryale, host is windos 7, 256GB ssd | 13:46 |
| euryale | my laptop is only running at 2.0ghz, and just 4gb ram, maybe that's not enough. | 13:46 |
| holstein | euryale: i run it on a netbook with 2gb's of ram | 13:46 |
| wasty | I'm looking for a feature that I don't know how to articulate. At work, I can type in a url, like "john" and I'll get redirected to a local machine. How can I do this with my ubuntu machines at home? | 13:47 |
| holstein | euryale: your resources depend on what you are trying to do.. and you *can* run virtualbox there.. please try the repo version | 13:47 |
| euryale | ok then, i will try vbox the one on the repo :) | 13:47 |

| trijntje | Hi all, when I boot my laptop my touchpad is disabled by default. What package should I file a bug against? | 13:49 |
| holstein | trijntje: disabled how? in software? | 13:49 |
| trijntje | holstein: I guess, I can switch it on using the hotkey on the keyboard, but that doesnt stick between boots | 13:49 |

| Yelu | euryale, yes try it, i've also a dell xps from 2006 running a headless ubuntu server with an guest instance of ubuntu 12.04 (lamp, owncloud) with only 4GB RAM which performs well | 13:50 |
| wdonkey | holstein, i had to mkdir otherwise it wouldnt work | 13:50 |
| holstein | trijntje: though, you may want to try and find someone with that hardware to confirm.. and ideally, try from a fresh install | 13:50 |
| tmmunq | are you sure thats not a bios setting? synaptic is the most prevalent touchpad i think | 13:50 |
| Maltahl | anyone that can support me with ubuntu 13.10 server on my laptop ? it wont boot after power was cut. it can only boot into grub | 13:51 |
| holstein | wdonkey: you need not make a directory to mount.. you would mount, and share errors.. if you have it mounted, then it seems like you are able to mount successfully | 13:51 |
| trijntje | holstein: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics it is ;) | 13:51 |
| stocarul_ | ocarul | 13:51 |
| trijntje | tmmunq: I haven't checked the bios, I'll try that before reporting the bug, thanks | 13:51 |
| euryale | Yelu: dowloading from the repo right now :) i hope to run some windows apps that i needed. | 13:51 |
| holstein | Maltahl: i would be rescuing the data, and preparing for the worst.. i would try simple fsck and other recovery options if possible.. after testing the hardware maybe | 13:52 |
| Yelu | euryale, ;) | 13:52 |
| wdonkey | holstein, i had a "mount: mount point /media/wd05 does not exist" | 13:52 |
| Maltahl | holstein a friend got it to boot once afterwards by entering grub boot menu, then click E and choose quiet and click B, but i tried the same and it did not work | 13:53 |
| holstein | wdonkey: i think you should review the !mount documenation.. make sure you are referring to a mount point that exist.. thats probably waht you mean by "i had to mkdir".. yes, you'll need to actually have the destination in place | 13:54 |
| trijntje | tmmunq: theres nothing in the bios and the touchpad does work on boot for windows 7 | 13:54 |
| wdonkey | holstein will do | 13:55 |

| DestinyAwaits | ?? | 14:01 |
| StrangeNoises | resolvconf is a tool that rewrites resolv.conf. ubuntu uses it by default now so dns is handled by a local daemon | 14:01 |
| StrangeNoises | (actually dnsmasq behind the scenes) | 14:01 |

| DestinyAwaits | dunno | 14:08 |
| StrangeNoises | have you got your network set up in /etc/network/interfaces? | 14:08 |

| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: what can be the problem? | 14:09 |
| wdonkey | holstein, thank you for your help, i've resolved my issue | 14:09 |
| DestinyAwaits | any idea? | 14:09 |
| StrangeNoises | use network manager. if you need to add extra dns servers because they're not being set by DHCP properly you can do so in there, in IPv4 settings -> additional dns servers | 14:09 |
| StrangeNoises | though might be better to fix the router so it sets dns properly itself | 14:09 |
| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: I am quite new to this can you help? Pls. | 14:10 |
| === wickedpuppy2 is now known as wickedpuppy | ||
| StrangeNoises | eg: http://strangenoises.org/~rachel/additional.png | 14:11 |
| StrangeNoises | if you're in unity desktop the network manager is on the top right | 14:11 |
| StrangeNoises | either a wifi or an up/down arrow icon if on ethernet | 14:11 |
| StrangeNoises | go to edit connections and add your extra dns as shown | 14:11 |
| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: ok. Like I have two Dns enteries how it works? comma-seperated? | 14:12 |

| StrangeNoises | if you don't need gaming performance just install vmware player and install windows in vmware | 14:20 |

| rvdv | DestinyAwaits: Do you already have a partition /space for windows? | 14:23 |
| StrangeNoises | DestinyAwaits, getting network manager to do what you want is in the long run better than breaking it | 14:23 |
| StrangeNoises | in that case go to method and select automatic (dhcp) addresses only | 14:23 |
| DestinyAwaits | rvdv: yes why? | 14:23 |
| StrangeNoises | rvdv, it's basichash who was asking about dualboot | 14:23 |

| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: dhcp is already selected | 14:24 |
| DestinyAwaits | :) | 14:24 |
| StrangeNoises | ADDRESSES ONLY | 14:24 |
| StrangeNoises | click on the Method drop-down | 14:25 |
| StrangeNoises | there should be "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only" | 14:25 |
| StrangeNoises | select that one, i think it'll enable the fields | 14:25 |

| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: guess what what O selected DHCP adresses only it enabled the DNS server fields | 14:26 |
| DestinyAwaits | :) | 14:26 |
| StrangeNoises | so now enter the dns servers you want | 14:26 |
| StrangeNoises | and save and it should work | 14:26 |

| Randy_O | has anyone else had an ssh connection refused error when trying to run an QML app on their phone? I've tried persist.service.ssh true | 14:28 |
| StrangeNoises | DestinyAwaits, basiclly i guess your router isn't giving you a useful DNS server list. the best fix is to fix it there rather than fixing every machine on the network to override it | 14:28 |
| StrangeNoises | but assuming you can't... well, what i said is the right fix. 14.04 lets you have *additional* DNS servers to the ones supplied in DHCP; looks like 12.04 is either/or on that | 14:29 |
| ButtBandit | when i type /topic it says there are insufficient arguments for command | 14:29 |
| StrangeNoises | so because your router's DNS servers are useless, we just override | 14:29 |
| DestinyAwaits | StrangeNoises: Bro its only my home machine and it connects to only my laptop. I don't have anything to use. I really don't know how to fix it on the router side.. :) | 14:29 |

| euryale | i add a network place in xp, but i cant access the shared folder. maybe i need to reset the machine. | 14:37 |

| rvdv | basichash: I think this is what you are looking for http://clonezilla.org/ | 14:38 |
| euryale | wait i'll check again if i installed the guest additions. | 14:38 |
| StrangeNoises | generally you can back up /home and /etc with rsync or even tar, and restore those on a fresh install | 14:38 |
| StrangeNoises | but alternatively using live disk, you can shrink the partition then dd it to somewhere safe and just restore that partition back after installing windows and making sure there's a partition of the right size for your restored ubuntu | 14:39 |
| StrangeNoises | but it is a bit more involved | 14:39 |

| dwffcas | as in "but form some reason in 14.04 it wont mount" | 14:42 |
| basichash | StrangeNoises: I would do that, though unfortunately my laptop's specs are pretty pathetic | 14:42 |
| dwffcas | bekks: it is the nfs bookmark in nautilus? | 14:42 |
| basichash | ill just back up /home, thanks for all the advice everyone | 14:43 |
| bekks | dwffcas: then try mounting it manually, in a terminal. | 14:43 |

| dwffcas | bekks: yeah mounting it in the terminal does it ok. but i find it curious why it doesn't mount through nautilus like it did before | 14:44 |
| Yelu | euryale, maybe you want to check http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders | 14:44 |
| bekks | dwffcas: then you have to check the logs on the nfs server. | 14:45 |

| mital | cfhowlett, its only available from 13.10 to 14.04 .. does that mean I have to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.04 to 13.10 to 14.04 .. that sounds stupid | 14:50 |
| jechadwell99 | no | 14:51 |
| mital | the upgrade * | 14:51 |
| bekks | dwffcas: Are you running Ubuntu on your raspi? :) | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | mital 12.04 is an LTS release. you can upgrade directly from LTS to the next LTS so 12.04 to 14.04 | 14:51 |
| DJones | mital: The upgrade noormally gets offered when 14.04.1 is release (which will be around the end of July) | 14:51 |
| cabbage4th | mital: just an fyi, you can go LTS to LTS | 14:51 |
| dwffcas | bekks: raspbian | 14:51 |
| mital | ok | 14:51 |
| euryale | thats it, quitting vbox | 14:51 |

| lesshaste | I just upgraded to 14.04 and sound has stopped | 14:52 |
| bekks | dwffcas: Then you have to ask the raspian support where to find the nfs logs. | 14:52 |
| lesshaste | are there steps to take to try to see what is wrong? | 14:52 |
| mital | but the 14.04 LTS is already available for download.. but the upgrade is not available ? | 14:52 |
| cabbage4th | mital you can upgrade it if you like through | 14:52 |
| cabbage4th | mital sudo apt-get update-manager -d | 14:52 |
| jechadwell99 | theyll want to make sure the update is completely stable first | 14:52 |
| cfhowlett | mital you can either download the ISO or do a terminal based upgrade | 14:53 |
| CamiloGamaleri | and i have to download a 64 bits ubuntu 4 use uefi?? | 14:53 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri don't HAVE to but if your system will support 64, there are benefits | 14:53 |
| cabbage4th | not apt-get sorry lol | 14:53 |
| ButtBandit | is ubuntu the fastest OS | 14:53 |
| CamiloGamaleri | my sistem suported but onle have 1 GB of RAM | 14:53 |
| CamiloGamaleri | will work better? | 14:53 |
| cabbage4th | just direct update-manager -d | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri BUT if you running 32 bit now, you have to reinstall, not upgrade, to get 643 | 14:54 |
| jechadwell99 | fastest os is probably arch | 14:54 |
| dwffcas | bekks: ok brb i'll ask over there. where are they located in ubuntu? | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | ButtBandit good question for #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:54 |
| ButtBandit | ok | 14:54 |

| CamiloGamaleri | what linux recomend for mi 64 bits 1GB ram? | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri 1 gig? lubuntu or xubuntu | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | !lubuntu | 14:55 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 14:55 |

| star_prone | hi | 14:56 |
| CamiloGamaleri | what work more faster lubuntu o xubuntu? | 14:56 |
| jechadwell99 | lubuntu i guess | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri similar speeds - lubuntu is optimized for low specification and older hardware | 14:57 |
| cabbage4th | CamiloGamaleri: lubuntu. | 14:57 |
| CamiloGamaleri | and is the bar like ubuntu? | 14:57 |
| cabbage4th | Like windows xp | 14:57 |

| star_prone | is it related to the upgrade? | 14:57 |

| CamiloGamaleri | is goodlooking | 14:58 |

| johnjohn101 | question on why the ia32-lib was deprecated? | 14:58 |
| junka | then stay with ubuntu | 14:58 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri "goodlooking" is subjective ... it does work however | 14:58 |
| jechadwell99 | aka ugly | 14:58 |
| jechadwell99 | ia32-lib was a workaround | 14:59 |
| cabbage4th | I think xubuntu with 1g is fine. I ran 10.04 with 512 before and it worked fine. | 14:59 |
| junka | i think ubuntu is also fine | 15:00 |
| star_prone | any ideas about that java error? | 15:00 |

| rsa_sean | Morning ... got an issue, I tried upgrading to 14.04 from 12.04 and now my system is out of commision ... About half way through the install X died and the keyboard mapping went crazy so I was unable to open a console to view status, I left the system over night and there was no change this morning. When I run a dpkg --configure -a , it halts because there were too many errors. So I tried apt-get insttall -fy , shows 236 upgraded, | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | StrangeNoises that brings in the apps as well - how about we samle the desktop before we download an additional 500 packages | 15:02 |

| cfhowlett | rsa_sean download the ISO, burn a USB and do a clean install | 15:03 |
| CamiloGamaleri | im gonna install ubuntu x64 | 15:03 |
| StrangeNoises | cfhowlett, well, lubuntu-core maybe; just concerned if user just installs lxde they're not going to get much ubuntu-ishness | 15:03 |
| kostkon | rsa_sean, and? what's the problem. you just said "out of commision" | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri 1 gig of ram? expect sub-par performance | 15:04 |
| rsa_sean | <cfhowlett> I was trying to avoid that if at all possible | 15:04 |
| CamiloGamaleri | cfhow wats its sub.par? | 15:04 |
| Barrytheboy | I really need help with something very strange? | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | StrangeNoises noted | 15:04 |
| rsa_sean | <kostkon> No X and cannot use apt to install or remove packages | 15:04 |
| StrangeNoises | though i see there isn't an equivalent xubuntu-core | 15:05 |
| Oohashi | CamiloGamaleri: below first class | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri 1 gig of ram is pretty darn close to the MINIMUM recommendations for ubuntu ... | 15:05 |
| kostkon | rsa_sean, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to finish the upgrade maybe | 15:05 |
| Oohashi | unless you've got server/headless :D | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | CamiloGamaleri but lubuntu or xubuntu better than ubuntu with that same 1 gig | 15:05 |

| fayesal | Hi, can you tell me what program you use to gzip the repo metadata? I am using source control to stabilize patching within our company and I didn't want to put binary artefacts in there, but whilst bzip files are just bzip files, the gzip files don't correlate with any options to gzip I can find. | 15:08 |
| holstein | Barrytheboy: "Try in configuration manager>keyboard. Second tab. Here you can assign keyboard shortcuts." | 15:08 |
| rsa_sean | kostkon, I have to use -f to correct dependencies but after all the packages are down loaded I end up with the same error | 15:10 |
| Xethron | Why is 12.10 Supported and not 13.04? | 15:11 |
| kostkon | rsa_sean, try removing the package(s) and reinstalling it/them. libsemanage1 and/or libsemanage1-dev | 15:11 |
| StrangeNoises | fayesal, that sounds like a nightmare in the making. how about just setting a single apt mirror/proxy type server at the gateway that you can manage and every ubuntu machine inside just uses that and stays in sync that way? | 15:11 |
| cfhowlett | Xethron 13.04 is end of life as is 12.10 | 15:11 |
| cfhowlett | Xethron DO. retract. 12.10 is still supported | 15:12 |
| fayesal | StrangeNoises: because I dont' want to patch everywhere at the same time. | 15:12 |
| junka | because canonical changed the release cycle to 9 months | 15:12 |

| atroxmons | hi Guys. I have just upgraded to 14.04. Somehow I can not get Unity to work outside KDE. Inside KDE I can get it to work as an additional layer. anybody got an idea? | 15:26 |
| fayesal | Yelu: I want to have predictable updating where dev->qa->prod for packages. I could simply mirror all the binaries for the metadata, I wanted something more elegant. | 15:26 |
| designbybeck | atroxmons, ....Unity is the DE...and KDE is it's own DE....you can't use Unity in KDE | 15:26 |
| junka | :x | 15:27 |
| StrangeNoises | fayesal, think it better to do the same thing with apt mirrors | 15:27 |
| atroxmons | @designbybeck.... apperently you can... | 15:27 |
| cabbage4th | bipul: if it works after you removed the password, double check the wi-fi security tab: security (wep, wpa, etc). Aside from that, I've got no idea left. | 15:27 |
| designbybeck | atroxmons, hhmmmmm | 15:27 |
| StrangeNoises | the machines do their own updating but with synced versions because the mirrors are under your control | 15:27 |
| bipul | Passwords are required , not possible to delte | 15:28 |
| bipul | delete | 15:28 |
| atroxmons | can get KDE to start, unity doesn't start up on it's own | 15:28 |

| Yelu | fayesal, okay, i see, it's a staging thingy, so straight forward :) - Yes, elegance would be a plus, but for this requirement I got no solution for you. | 15:29 |
| StrangeNoises | glutton for punishment ;-P | 15:29 |
| gotama | so that every time i hit my window key for mail it opens evolution and not thunderbird | 15:29 |
| fayesal | StrangeNoises: I've been using mrepo and cobbler and they both suck for different reasons. Ubuntu isn't the only distro I need to maintain. | 15:30 |
| cabbage4th | That's the router's password right? Double check your connection settings. Under the Wi-Fi security tab. Maybe your settings there doesn't match the one on your router. (router uses wep, and the setting is on wpa). | 15:30 |
| gotama | but cant seem to find on google when i search "set default email client ubuntu 14.04" and the like | 15:30 |
| cabbage4th | bipul | 15:30 |
| fayesal | Yelu: thanks for your input :) | 15:30 |

| bipul | cabbage4th, yes | 15:30 |

| StrangeNoises | which gives you the option on the login screen | 15:34 |
| qin | DS_McGuire_: than dont try it, since slashing tarballs over apt is not really supported here. | 15:34 |
| StrangeNoises | atroxmons, i could tell you which dependency just contains that file, but you should just install ubuntu-desktop. what i tell you three times is true. | 15:35 |
| DS_McGuire_ | qin: Guess I will leave it then. Unity is pretty sweet this release anyway. | 15:35 |
| qin | atroxmons: one: KDE and kdm is not same, lightdm is "unity native", sudo apt-get install -f; should tell you if there is something missing | 15:36 |

| holstein | zubuntu: i use native games, on supported hardware. do you have supported 3d graphics? and drivers installed? | 16:07 |

| zubuntu | tgm4883: i dont complain.. i am looking for a solution | 16:18 |
| holstein | zubuntu: it is much the same as taking an Xbox only game and asking sony for playstation support for it | 16:18 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, well I believe the solution is, if it doesn't work in Wine, then use windows | 16:18 |
| zubuntu | yes i aware of that guys :/ | 16:18 |
| Yelu | tgm4883, +1 | 16:18 |
| designbybeck | so you when it pops up you need to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 before you can go to 14.04?? | 16:18 |
| musca | tgm4883: yes, this case is solved. | 16:19 |
| OerHeks | designbybeck, yes. | 16:19 |
| fayesal | zubuntu: try crossover games. https://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ | 16:19 |
| atroxmons_ | xbox games only work on xbox zubuntu. They don't work on windows, and therefore they will not work using emulators or virtualisation | 16:19 |
| syeekick | i thought you can do a gpu passthrough on vms and it supposed to be pretty epic for gaming | 16:19 |

| === arges` is now known as arges | ||
| designbybeck | ok thanks OerHeks and qin | 16:20 |
| zubuntu | my point is, someone can make a good emulator i guess | 16:20 |
| tgm4883 | syeekick, the overhead of running a second OS hurts | 16:20 |
| zubuntu | it needs good engineering | 16:20 |
| genii | designbybeck: That's the normal upgrade path, yes. It either goes LTS->LTS or else if you have interim release you need to upgrade to all the other interim releases and then to latest | 16:20 |
| yossarianuk | wine - is NOT an emulator | 16:20 |
| atroxmons_ | then invest in somebody to do it for you zubuntu. Free doesn't mean free ;) | 16:20 |
| tgm4883 | it's a translation layer | 16:20 |
| yossarianuk | as long as you have nvidia many games are actually faster in Wine than in real windows on the same pc | 16:20 |
| zubuntu | lol atroxmons_ :p | 16:21 |
| drezir | crossover or cedega or wine ....these are only avaiable emulators on Linux. Cedega and Crossover are specialized on games. But trust me. I am a gamer and i have already tried that and nothing worked so well like Windows :D | 16:21 |
| holstein | zubuntu: i dont think better emulators is the ideal solution when *all* of linux is open, and available to anyone to create what they like.. native code is the "best" solution | 16:21 |
| yossarianuk | i.e call of duty 1/2 - may payne 1/2 - civ4/5 (graphics are faster and the time it takes for the CPU to have a turn is faster on Linux -> wine than on real windows) | 16:21 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, seriously, ask the developer for a linux port | 16:21 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you might be interested in helping with a product such as http://www.reactos.org/ which aims to be compatible with windows code | 16:22 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, It can work https://twitter.com/DuvalMagic/statuses/457321493924306944 | 16:22 |
| zubuntu | tgm4883: ok i will send a mail to microsoft to make linux version of Age of Empires :p | 16:22 |
| atroxmons_ | I'm off to school. good luck guys. ~noises, thanks for the (obvious) solution I overlooked! | 16:22 |
| qin | drezir: cedega still exists? | 16:22 |
| yossarianuk | zubuntu: or just dual boot - there are far more games for linux than time time a couple of years ago.. | 16:23 |
| holstein | zubuntu: other than that, the avenues for faciliating non-native code can be quite frustrating, and just that.. non-native.. meaning, your mileage may vary, and you are your own support | 16:23 |
| taime1 | I'm trying to mount an lvm raid. I'm getting 'special device does not exist' what gives? | 16:23 |
| yossarianuk | personally if I cannot run it on Linux I just don't bother. | 16:23 |
| zubuntu | ok ok , dualboot is the best alternative now | 16:23 |
| holstein | zubuntu: yes.. native code | 16:24 |
| drezir | qin: i think so. I only know that Cedega or Crossover has changed name | 16:24 |
| zubuntu | so what do u use vbox for ? | 16:24 |
| Yelu | zubuntu, case closed ;) (just kidding) | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, So you are complaining that AoE, a game made by an OS developer, doesn't work in Wine, which is a translation layer for Windows API calls. Gee, I wonder why Microsoft uses secret Windows API calls and breaks compatibility with Wine | 16:24 |
| zubuntu | Yelu: lol yes it is closed :p | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | Lets definitely blame the Wine developers | 16:24 |
| sigint88 | just a quick question., how do i mount an lvm2_memeber in Ubuntu | 16:24 |
| zubuntu | tgm4883: again, i am not complaining.. just thinking loudly :p | 16:24 |
| sigint88 | i.e so the OS can access it an r/w data | 16:24 |
| drezir | qin, Yes, i can see it now. From Cedega to Gametree | 16:24 |
| ubuntudude | can somebody help .. why am i seeing this " 29% waiting for headers" on doing apt-get update | 16:25 |
| sigint88 | any suggestions or cool references | 16:25 |
| sigint88 | btw how is Trusty going? | 16:25 |
| zubuntu | i wish there was a standart API for all games :p | 16:25 |

| holstein | ubuntudude: just try again.. could be a slow mirror.. could be you have added sources that are slow/bad | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, wouldn't matter. You expect Microsoft to follow standards? | 16:25 |
| yossarianuk | zubuntu: there is a standard for all os's - its called openGL | 16:25 |

| ubuntudude | holstein : can you suggest some good mirrors | 16:26 |
| zubuntu | tgm4883: like same charger adapter for all mobile phones they can make a standart maybe | 16:26 |

| kostkon | zubuntu, there is according to Valve, it's called sdl2 | 16:26 |
| holstein | ubuntudude: the default ones | 16:26 |
| ubuntudude | holstein : i added deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe | 16:26 |

| holstein | ubuntudude: you shouldnt have to add anything.. try undoing what you did, and get "sudo apt-get update" working normally | 16:27 |
| zubuntu | tgm4883: mac os has own standart also | 16:27 |
| drezir | zubuntu, But if you have to have the greatest comfort then use PlayonLinux. It installs all those stuffs around the specified game itself. I have tried that and i ran Witcher 2 but sometimes textures went wrong | 16:27 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, that is precisely why we have things like Silverlight | 16:27 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, I don't use a Mac, but I was under the impression that it's standard is OpenGL | 16:28 |
| ubuntudude | holstein i will try that | 16:28 |
| yossarianuk | zubuntu: read about the halloween documents to see why games are only on windows | 16:28 |
| Yelu | ubuntudude, try change your mirror under settings in update manager (maybe there is a faster one) | 16:28 |
| yossarianuk | zubuntu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Documents | 16:28 |
| zubuntu | i bet commercial worries under that :p | 16:28 |

| yossarianuk | read the article | 16:31 |
| tgm4883 | zubuntu, you'll need to go to a Windows support channel to find out how to speed up the Windows boot | 16:31 |
| yossarianuk | 'With OpenGL, an open, vendor-neutral standard, developers can get significantly better performance – up to 1.3 times. But with a little tuning, they can get 7 to 15 times more performance. - See more at: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/03/20/opengl-gdc2014/#sthash.thPEF1eh.dpuf' | 16:31 |

| zubuntu | is there anything promised about intel based graphics ? :p | 16:32 |
| drezir | I think that the best way to speedUp Windows is to reinstall it | 16:32 |
| ubuntudude | i deleted that line it stuck at 0 | 16:32 |

| AndChat515625 | K thanks. Will try to find the image | 16:50 |

| linagee | pushpop: if I had your setup, I'd try for using the disks as a JBOD and software raid them in linux. doesn't seem to be a lot of advantages for the the intel C600 in doing it a different way | 17:34 |
| StrangeNoises | enough that i went back to installing google-chrome-stable | 17:34 |
| sontek_ | Yeah, I'll just go get the google chrome one instead | 17:35 |

| hio | does ubuntu only use firefox ssl certificates? | 17:39 |
| StrangeNoises | Rainer__: just install ubuntu-desktop | 17:39 |
| Dreadlish | Rainer__: ubuntu server has the same repos like desktop version | 17:39 |
| Dreadlish | it just needs installing some DE ;d | 17:40 |
| Rainer__ | ok and in that packet (ubuntu desktop) is everthing I need? | 17:40 |

| Dreadlish | Rainer__: why do you need graphical interface on server? :D | 17:41 |
| designbybeck | good deal bytefire | 17:41 |

| ButtBandit | luyin, yeah reformat and put windows 8 on there. It works. | 17:50 |
| Luyin | ButtBandit: very useful | 17:51 |
| StrangeNoises | Luyin: no dot before known_hosts | 17:51 |
| * ButtBandit bows | 17:51 | |
| Magiobiwan | Luyin, is openssh-server installed on the computer? | 17:51 |
| Luyin | StrangeNoises: typo, but same mistake | 17:51 |
| Magiobiwan | That you're trying to SSH to | 17:51 |
| Magiobiwan | And is it running? | 17:51 |
| haitham_bar | need help with my laptop's (acer) keyboard, it's not working on either ubuntu, xubuntu or any other linux distro | 17:51 |
| duycuong | @Luyin : ssh-keygen ? | 17:51 |
| Luyin | Magiobiwan: do both machines need it installed? or only one? | 17:51 |
| StrangeNoises | yeah connection refused means sshd isn't running | 17:52 |
| StrangeNoises | on the machine you're trying to connect to | 17:52 |
| Magiobiwan | openssh-server needs to be installed (and running) on the computer you're trying to connect to | 17:52 |
| Magiobiwan | You need a SSH client of some sort on the computer you're connecting from | 17:52 |
| Luyin | hmm, if I'm trying to move a file from server1 to server2, which is the one I'm connecting to? | 17:52 |
| Magiobiwan | Which computer are you on? | 17:53 |
| Magiobiwan | The one you're sitting in front of and typing on is the one you're connecting FROM | 17:53 |
| Luyin | Magiobiwan: both running Ubuntu, server1 with 12.04 and server2 with 14.04. I want to move ~/foo from server1 to server2 | 17:53 |
| bytefire | anyone know of a bencode reader app for ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| Magiobiwan | The other computer is the one you're connecting TO | 17:53 |
| Yelu | Luyin, just install ssh server on your TARGET machine | 17:54 |
| Luyin | Yelu: and "target" is the machine where I want to move the file TO, correct_ | 17:54 |
| Luyin | ? | 17:54 |
| Yelu | Luyin, yes ;.) | 17:55 |
| Magiobiwan | Luyin, how I'd do it is using scp | 17:55 |

| blazzer | hi. I have a problem with the some usb ports on my laptop with xubuntu 14.04 distro (not all the time). can you point me to some workaround? lsusb doesn't recognizes the device and neither does fdisk ( i've tried with a wireless mouse and a flash drive) | 18:01 |
| Magiobiwan | Try SSHing to the remote computer | 18:01 |
| jhutchins | Luyin: Their behavior doesn't vary among releases or distributions. | 18:02 |
| AceFaer | When I try to connect to another server by clicking Files > Connect To Server > and then I type in ssh://user@server/ | 18:02 |
| AceFaer | it says that "this file server type is not recognized". How do i connect over ssh/sftp? | 18:02 |
| ElwoodBlues | ciao | 18:02 |
| jhutchins | blazzer: Maybe the ports are bad? Are the hubs recognized? | 18:02 |
| blazzer | the ports are working (tried with another live distro). | 18:03 |
| Magiobiwan | AceFaer, If you want to connect using sftp | 18:03 |
| Magiobiwan | it's sftp://user@remotehost | 18:03 |
| jakubo | can so help with remote desktop? | 18:03 |
| blazzer | how can I see if the hubs are recognized? what should i look for? | 18:03 |
| xangua | !ask | jakubo | 18:03 |
| ubottu | jakubo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:03 |

| Magiobiwan | nahtnam, you can't through Windows unless you installed Ubuntu to something like FAT32 | 18:04 |
| Luyin | Magiobiwan: same error code | 18:04 |
| Magiobiwan | o.o | 18:05 |

| jakubo | and it seems to fail to show the desktop. furthermore id like to do it via www | 18:05 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: yes it is | 18:05 |
| Magiobiwan | nahtnam, any LiveCD which has NTFS-3G installed already | 18:05 |

| jakubo | gnome fallback workaround seems not to work. and the option below the guest session is either not working or its documentation ist utter crap! | 18:06 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: How? I tired, and it said "Permission Denied" | 18:06 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: what did you do to get this error? | 18:06 |
| jakubo | most tutorials are for 12.10 and below | 18:06 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: I booted to a live CD. Then I mounted the drive, and then I tried to compress my files. | 18:06 |
| nahtnam | and it said Permission Denied | 18:07 |
| Luyin | Magiobiwan: just to make sure I didn't miss anything: I start ssh on the remote machine, then enter "ssh user@remotemachine" on the local one, correct? | 18:07 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: what filesystem are you accessing? | 18:07 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: My ubuntu partition | 18:07 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: which is an ext4? | 18:07 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: I think so | 18:08 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: enter mount and see what root lies on | 18:08 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: ??? | 18:08 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: err, no, forget about the part with "root" | 18:08 |
| Luyin | sorry | 18:08 |
| nahtnam | Im confused :D | 18:08 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: open a terminal and enter "mount" | 18:09 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: In the live CD? | 18:09 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: yes | 18:09 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: Then? | 18:09 |
| Luyin | nahtnam: best paste the output to a pastebin and show me | 18:09 |
| nahtnam | Luyin: Ok, ill be back in a few minutes | 18:10 |

| jakubo | no desktop shows when starting rdp via remmina | 18:12 |
| TJ- | AceFaer: "sftp:\\" not "sftp://" | 18:12 |

| kenetik | TJ-: I just used '//' and it worked no problem, his screen shot shows '//'. | 18:13 |
| TJ- | kenetik: Yeah, I was wondering if the // was being treated 'differently' | 18:14 |

| SchrodingersScat | hexhaxtron: xletters? | 18:18 |
| reisio | but not necessarily slower than the maximum speed the wired network allows | 18:18 |

| AceFaer | TJ-: ive tried all combinations of ssh, sftp, ssh:, sftp:, ssh:\\, sftp:// and it still says the server type is not recognized | 18:20 |
| sozeze | I mean that the USB port must be the problem, this ethernet plugs allways work slower than the PCI ones | 18:20 |
| AceFaer | and i do have gvfs-backends installed, too | 18:20 |
| AceFaer | maybe ill re-install gvfs-backends | 18:21 |

| ifthenelse | reisio: What do you mean? | 18:23 |
| sozeze | ifthenelse: do you have the mother model and the usb board model? | 18:23 |

| reisio | ifthenelse: no... where does the other end go? | 18:24 |
| jhutchins | ifthenelse: usb 2.0 is notoriously slow on Linux. You can try different ports on the laptop - they're usually more than one hub built in, and sometimes one is significantly faster/slower than the other(s). | 18:24 |
| reisio | usb 2 is just slow everywhere, it's old | 18:24 |
| reisio | it's more than enough for network, though | 18:25 |
| reisio | which brings us back to his original problem :p | 18:25 |

| reisio | 11mbps is more than 7... | 18:28 |

| AceFaer | kenetik: and i did try putting in port number, but still didnt work :( | 18:29 |
| jhutchins | ifthenelse: I am seeing multiple references to this adapter being very slow and not getting more than 7 mbs. | 18:30 |
| jhutchins | Yeah, probably the same things TJ- is seeing. | 18:30 |
| kenetik | AceFaer: Shoot me a pm, I may be able to help. | 18:30 |
| ifthenelse | jhutchins: So what's a good one to buy? | 18:31 |

| ifthenelse | jhutchins: I got it from amazon | 18:32 |
| jhutchins | ifthenelse: He's not using the KY-RD9700 though, is he? | 18:32 |
| jhutchins | ifthenelse: Amazon takes returns. | 18:32 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: they're both through d-link switch ("box")? | 18:32 |
| ifthenelse | jhutchins: He is not, no. He's just using ethernet directly into his computer | 18:33 |
| ifthenelse | reisio: Yes | 18:33 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: like a four port switch? | 18:33 |
| ifthenelse | reisio: There are 5 ports in it | 18:34 |

| reisio | k | 18:36 |

| superherointj | Hello. I am planning installing Ubuntu 14.04 in my new PC. But I also bought a Windows 8.1 Pro. I want to use FastBoot for booting really fast to the OS. What I am wondering is if they have fixed it already for Dual-Boot. | 18:44 |
| reisio | superherointj: 'fastboot'? | 18:44 |
| reisio | superherointj: what is it you imagine that buzzword entails? | 18:44 |
| linuxlite1969 | So, ummm is there a messenger type thing that one can chat with a friend on another linux? | 18:44 |
| superherointj | Yes. The mainboard provides support to some feature regarding `fastboot`. `quickboot`. something like it. | 18:44 |
| reisio | linuxlite1969: pidgin | 18:45 |
| linuxlite1969 | oh thanks | 18:45 |
| yossarianuk | or empathy | 18:45 |
| yossarianuk | or kde im | 18:45 |
| reisio | superherointj: that's probably eithera huge ramdisk or just hibernation | 18:45 |
| smart | hi guys | 18:45 |
| superherointj | reisio: faster boot. | 18:45 |
| reisio | superherointj: both are supported by both OSes | 18:45 |
| reisio | smart: hi | 18:46 |
| Dante | so does anyone know a program for ubuntu that's like microsoft visio? | 18:46 |
| smart | is there a way to add system sounds to lubuntu? | 18:46 |
| superherointj | Here they say it should be disabled: http://www.typicaltips.com/2013/02/disable-fast-startup-in-windows-8.html | 18:46 |
| holstein | Dante: so i dont have to google what that is, what funcitonality are you trying to address? | 18:46 |
| aarobc | Hi! can I try mir on ubuntu 14.04 without breaking everything? Is it just the "unity8-desktop-session-mir" package? | 18:47 |
| reisio | Dante: calligra flow | 18:47 |
| Pici | Dante: dia, inkscape to some extent. | 18:47 |
| reisio | Dante: and to a lesser extent: dia, one of libreoffice's things, and... something else | 18:47 |
| Dante | holstein: Microsoft Visio is a program that allows you to make diagrams of all sorts like database relationship models, UML designs, even Realty designs | 18:47 |
| holstein | aarobc: i would test expecting testing results.. not in production or a use case requiring stability | 18:47 |
| reisio | aarobc: it shouldn't physically break your hardware | 18:47 |
| Dante | Thanks reisio and Pici | 18:47 |
| Jordan_U | superherointj: "Fastboot" basically means not presenting an option to enter the boot firmware, or even initializing the keyboard, before booting the OS. Clearly if you want to boot from an install CD/USB you're going to need to configure the boot firmware to boot from it, and also clearly if you want to have a menu that allows you to select between operating systems at boot then your keyboard will need to be initialized before ... | 18:48 |
| aarobc | lol physically no, just curious to mess with it, just want to know that it can somewhat easily be reverted | 18:48 |
| Jordan_U | ... either OS boots. Does that make sense? | 18:48 |
| === matteo is now known as Guest54089 | ||

| rompstar | hey guys, I recently upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 LTS and my php5 is broken, when I try to install: sudo apt-get install php5 - I get dependency errors, I googled and googled and nothing worked | 18:49 |
| ifthenelse | OK, there are like 5 of the most highly rated Ethernet to USB adapters on Amazon--which one looks the best? | 18:49 |
| reisio | superherointj: as articulated in the link you gave, that is just an element of hibernation | 18:49 |
| Pushy | reisio, what do you use ubuntu for ? | 18:49 |
| kenetik | rompstar: What dep errors? Copy and paste the shell output to a paste bin. | 18:50 |
| Pushy | reisio, currently i use it..but no idea why..maybe just simple? | 18:50 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: if you're spending more money, just get a wireless router | 18:50 |
| reisio | Pushy: I don't, I do use GNU/Linux, though, as an OS | 18:50 |
| reisio | for operating on systems | 18:50 |
| Dante | bbl | 18:51 |
| Pushy | reisio, yeah, but i can't do much of it...everyone use windows..and most of my work places use windows | 18:51 |
| superherointj | So I should just install Windows and then ubuntu. And not care about how long it takes to boot, right? I also planning to use UEFI, is that okay? | 18:51 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| ifthenelse | reisio: But it's at the university and I don't own any of it... | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | superherointj: So you can dual boot without ever disabling fastboot but it means 1: For the initial installation of Ubuntu you'll need to figure out how to configure your system to boot from CD/USB from within Windows (you can't do it at boot because you can't use boot menus without a keyboard). And 2: You'll need to configure grub or your firmware in such a way that you can change which OS will be booted by default from within ... | 18:51 |
| reisio | Pushy: I'm not sure what that has to do with your ability to do much of it | 18:51 |
| rompstar | The following packages have unmet dependencies: libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: php5-common (= 5.5.11+dfsg-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+2) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: php5-cli but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | ... Ubuntu and Windows (because again, you won't be able to make any choices at boot). | 18:51 |
| reisio | superherointj: you can make it boot as fast as it can, neither OS will hold you back | 18:51 |

| nstk | Pushy: Ubuntu is your best bet if you can't into GNU/Linux but still want to utilize what you refer to as 'linux,' in an easy way. Yes, it won't be as efficient as Debian or Gentoo, but it's 99% of the way there and much easier to understand than anything else from your point of view. Trust me, you just have to think a little outside of the 'windows' box to get Ubuntu | 18:52 |
| glumetu | or you can do windows and afte rubuntu and use bootrepair | 18:52 |
| reisio | tmi | 18:52 |
| ifthenelse | reisio: But those are more expensive, right? On amazon I can get an ethernet adapter for 20-30 dollars. A router would be more. | 18:52 |
| rompstar | any ideas ? | 18:52 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: no, they're 20-30 dollars | 18:52 |
| === gruber is now known as jsjgruber | ||
| reisio | ifthenelse: and incredibly more likely to not cause you such issues | 18:53 |
| nstk | a good router is not 20-30 dollars | 18:53 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: also no wires... you could sit far away | 18:53 |
| reisio | nstk: he isn't making a wireless data center | 18:53 |
| nstk | he also doesn't want a terrible router with a horrible interface that he has to flash | 18:53 |
| ifthenelse | reisio: Yeah, but if I get a low quality one then it'll be just as bad as this "low quality" ethernet adapter | 18:53 |
| reisio | the very cheapest wireless router at walmart will make you wholly content | 18:53 |
| reisio | nstk: you're being silly :p | 18:54 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: no, it won't... | 18:54 |
| Pushy | nstk, i'm already outside the windows | 18:54 |
| superherointj | Right. I don't know doing it. So for now I will just install Windows + Ubuntu. Can I install both in UEFI without issues? | 18:54 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: a wireless router, even a dirt cheap one, will be just like your current dlink switch, only wireless... | 18:54 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: so no usb issues | 18:54 |
| Pushy | nstk, beside my windows never opened | 18:54 |
| reisio | superherointj: yes | 18:54 |
| rompstar | sorry - I am new, I pasted it to pastebin | 18:54 |
| reisio | superherointj: there's a uefi gotcha page on help.ubuntu.com if it comes up | 18:54 |
| ifthenelse | reisio: But it would drop every now and then, whereas ethernet would not, right? I edit files over the network | 18:54 |
| reisio | ifthenelse: no, why would it drop... | 18:55 |
| reisio | it wouldn't drop unless you took the wireless device very far away from it, like 30 feet | 18:55 |
| reisio | or put it behind a lead wall | 18:55 |
| superherointj | Allright. Thank you for the help. :) | 18:56 |
| reisio | if you're asking if "wireless" is less reliabled than "wired", yes, it is less reliable; if you're asking if "wireless" is less reliable than your proven-to-be-a-failure wired ethernet->usb adapter, no, it is more reliable not less | 18:56 |
| reisio | it also won't turn your laptop into an immobile glorified thin desktop | 18:56 |
| MikeRL | I found another bug. | 18:57 |
| reisio | and you'll be able to use a wireless router with almost any number of wireless devices you might have simultaneously | 18:57 |
| reisio | MikeRL: gj | 18:57 |
| MikeRL | Print to take a screenshot doesn't work. | 18:57 |
| reisio | MikeRL: prtscrn doesn't work? | 18:57 |
| MikeRL | reisio: Yep. | 18:58 |
| MikeRL | What I was going to ask, was what package should I file the bug under? | 18:58 |
| MikeRL | Or is it already known? | 18:59 |
| reisio | it's probably already known | 18:59 |
| MikeRL | And does it affect different keyboards? | 18:59 |
| reisio | but it's a matter for X historically | 18:59 |
| MikeRL | For example, does yours work? | 18:59 |
| reisio | prtscrn is sometimes used as the magic sysrq key | 18:59 |
| reisio | and when it's used for that, it doesn't typically work for ordinary prtscrn usage | 18:59 |
| rompstar | /msg kenetic any ideas what the problem is, I tried all kinds of commands and it still is not working | 18:59 |

| Jordan_U | dipseydoodle: How are you trying to move the files? | 19:31 |
| Jordan_U | rvraghav93: Yes. And it's also possible to do the same for a different brand / config / model pc. | 19:32 |
| dipseydoodle | Jordan_U I just draged and droped it from Home to the www folder which is bookmarked in the Files program | 19:32 |
| dipseydoodle | and I just did the above command and it just gave a blank line afterwards | 19:32 |

| foobar33 | I'm installing a win8 usbstick installer using winusb from ubuntu repo | 19:36 |
| foobar33 | Why does it install grub? | 19:36 |
| foobar33 | On a win8 usbstick installer? | 19:36 |
| dipseydoodle | Grub is the bootloader you need this to boot the linux kernal | 19:37 |
| Beldar | foobar33, That is just a fork of the MS usb loader, basically. | 19:37 |
| foobar33 | Ye, so I don't understand why grub is here | 19:37 |
| VlperX | ahoy, what does this mean? | 19:37 |
| VlperX | cat: /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted | 19:37 |
| foobar33 | Grub was not in the MS usb loader | 19:37 |
| Beldar | foobar33, For a boot, why does it matter? | 19:38 |
| foobar33 | It takes forever to install | 19:38 |
| rvraghav93 | Jordan_U there ? | 19:38 |
| Beldar | foobar33, grub just kicks to the install, has nothing to do with install time. | 19:39 |
| sevenearths | Any1 one had experience with HFS+? | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | sevenearths | 19:40 |
| Yelu | VlperX, probably permission denied try: sudo cat /dev/net/tun | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | sevenearths: Why don't you ask your actual question and find out? | 19:40 |
| Beldar | Jordan_U, They been editing the bot. | 19:41 |
| sevenearths | I've deleted the front partition of an HFS+ volume and I want to know if I'm 'ucked (http://pasteboard.co/2khR51R5.png) | 19:41 |
| foobar33 | Beldar, it said installing | 19:41 |
| foobar33 | then it said done, then it said installing grub | 19:41 |
| VlperX | Yelu, nope I ran that with root | 19:41 |
| foobar33 | So it has been in this mode for more than 20 minutes | 19:41 |
| Beldar | foobar33, Not sure how this is related, but go ahead. | 19:42 |
| Yelu | VlperX, I see. | 19:42 |
| Beldar | foobar33, Installing when, what is the context? | 19:42 |
| sevenearths | I don't know anything about HFS+ and I don't want to format the front partition lest it effects the sdc2 (which has a lot of data on it) | 19:43 |
| rvraghav93 | Jordan_U : Thanks for the response :) Is there any disadvantage when compared to a fresh install ? and could you direct me to any tool please? | 19:43 |
| foobar33 | Been like this for ages: http://i.snag.gy/DCi0T.jpg bar is going left to right, wonder to kill it and start over | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | sevenearths: Please don't swear in this channel, obfuscated or not. What exactly did you do? "deleted the front partition of an HFS+ volume" doesn't really make sense. Did you mean the first "portion"? | 19:44 |
| Beldar | foobar33, It is really hard to tell what the context are in your inquiry, for example installing winusb, and loading the usb, or installing on the HD. I believe your calling the loading of the ISO as the install. | 19:45 |
| sevenearths | Jordan_U: (sorry for the swearing) I mean the first portion as you rightly say. 'sdc1' | 19:45 |
| Beldar | foobar33, That is a pirate iso not supported here. | 19:46 |
| foobar33 | I have a payed key | 19:46 |
| Jordan_U | sevenearths: 'sdc1' is indeed a partition, not a portion of a partition. What exactly did you do? | 19:47 |
| Beldar | foobar33, The only thing supported on this or the ##windows channel are legit downloads period, key or not. | 19:47 |
| Simonor | Has anybody reported disabled pata DVD drives on 14.04? | 19:48 |
| halfie | hi, I have a patch for "bcmwl" package which enables it to build on 3.15-rc2. This is a DKMS package - so, how should I got about submitting the patch? | 19:48 |
| sevenearths | The HD has two portions (sdc1/sdc2). Since deleting sdc1 ubuntu won't mount sdc2. I' wondering if I can get rid of sdc1 all together without having any adverse effects on sdc2 | 19:50 |
| Simonor | Hello everyone by the way. | 19:50 |
| sevenearths | I don't know the hfs+<-->unallocated relationship | 19:51 |
| Beldar | halfie, probably a good start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Patches | 19:52 |
| halfie | Beldar, for now, I am sending it directly to the maintainer (don't have free time this week). I will learn the proper way later on ;( | 19:52 |
| halfie | thanks! | 19:52 |
| bekks | sevenearths: I guess you deleted much more than just that. There is no relation between HFS+ and unallocated space. | 19:53 |
| dipseydoodle | bye | 19:53 |
| Jordan_U | sevenearths: The hard drive has two *partitions*. The reason that I said that your original comment, "deleted the front partition of an HFS+ Volume" , didn't make sense is that "Partition" and "Volume" mean basically the same thing, so you were saying "I deleted the first partition of my HFS+ partition". You still haven't explained exactly what you did. Please elaborate on how you "deleted sdc1" giving as much detail as possible. | 19:53 |
| Simonor | just that my pata drive on some fairly aged hardware has become unable to read commercial dvds since the upgrade. | 19:55 |
| === bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller | ||
| Simonor | obviously I've checked the decryption library. | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | Simonor: Can it read non-commercial DVDs? | 19:56 |
| sevenearths | Jordan_U: The drive is a Lacie drive. Originally when the drive was plugged in it mounted two volumes. I needed it to only mount the larger of the two volumes so in gparted I right clicked sdc1 a 'deleted partition'. I was originally hoping to delete sdc1 and grow sdc2 to cover the whole drive | 19:56 |
| daninoz | hi guys, I have a problem in ubuntu gnome, the top bar is in the middle of the screen. | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | sevenearths: OK, great. And while before deleting sda1 you could mount sda2, now you cannot mount sda2. Correct? | 19:58 |
| sevenearths | Jordan_U: There must be a relationship between hfs+ & unallocated because all my data is on unallocated and is far larger then 2.84Mb | 19:59 |
| sevenearths | Jordan_U: correct! | 19:59 |

| MikeRL | majod: Number 15 worked for me. | 20:09 |
| majod | MikeRL: thanks, i will try | 20:09 |
| MikeRL | majod: Because Firefox doesn't support H264 out of the box. You need H264 for watching HD for some reason on YouTube. WebM doesn't work with it. | 20:09 |
| MikeRL | majod: It should work. Worked for me. | 20:10 |
| majod | MikeRL: weird. it worked on windows... | 20:10 |
| Bray90820 | bekks: so if i did fond / music it would search recursively from / for the folder called music? | 20:10 |
| MikeRL | majod: That's because Windows uses the OS codecs as a fallback. Linux cannot legally ship with them, I believe. | 20:10 |

It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 20:44 |
| Dante | holstein: if it did I would have been prompted, no? | 20:44 |
| holstein | Dante: sudo means you are running it as root.. why? | 20:44 |
| holstein | Dante: dont, as a rule, unless needed.. is root needed? | 20:45 |
| Dante | holstein: it's not supposed to be needd | 20:45 |
| holstein | Dante: then, dont use sudo command | 20:45 |
| Dante | holstein: I went forum diving and that's what I found. What do I type in terminal if I want it to run w.o sudo access | 20:45 |
| minimec | Bray90820: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html | 20:45 |
| holstein | Dante: just dont use sudo, friend | 20:45 |
| holstein | /path/to/file | 20:46 |
| holstein | !sudo | 20:46 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:46 |
| Dante | holstein: so it's just ~usr/bin/program then? | 20:46 |
| StephenS | !sudo | 20:46 |
| holstein | Dante: not sure where you are getting "~" | 20:46 |
| holstein | Dante: that in iteself is a location.. just use /usr/whatever | 20:46 |
| Dante | holstein: oh okay, thanks. :) | 20:47 |
| holstein | Dante: use the tab autocomplete function to be *certain* you are actually getting somewhere valid | 20:47 |
| Dante | holstein: will do. | 20:47 |
| Multbrelch | Any idea? | 20:49 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: try resetting the font size, or undoing what you did that broke it.. you can also try as another user or the guest user to remove your users config from the equation | 20:50 |
| Multbrelch | how can I reset the fontsize, holstein ? | 20:50 |
| Multbrelch | just a keyword | 20:50 |
| Multbrelch | ... | 20:50 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: i remember it being rather clear in the menu.. have you tried searching for it in preferences? or tried as the guest user? | 20:51 |
| Multbrelch | I can change the fontsize in hardware/screens but no effect, the font is too small | 20:52 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: only ubuntu 10.04 server is still supported officially | 20:52 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: try as another user, and report, please.. | 20:53 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, SORRY, I meant 14.04 :) | 20:53 |
| Multbrelch | typing error ... | 20:53 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: try as the guest user | 20:53 |
| Multbrelch | and then ? | 20:53 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: ? then say "the fonts are normal as the guest user" or, "the fonts are still tiny as guest user" | 20:54 |
| Multbrelch | does the guest user has a passwd? | 20:54 |
| Multbrelch | Okay, I will do ... | 20:54 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: no password.. savings are not saved.. please try it there.. this will, as i suggested, remove your user config from the equation | 20:55 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, thx a lot - So I did it and: the fonts have the correct size ... what now? | 20:55 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: now you know where the problem is.. as i said, in your users configuration, not the system | 20:56 |
| dweez | holstein: And knowing is half the battle. G.I. JOE!!! | 20:56 |
| berend | does anyone here use multiple workspaces on Trusty Tahr and does "always visible on workspace" work for you? | 20:56 |
| rooh | hello, does somebody know if in 14.04 there is support for AMD switchable graphics without restarting? | 20:56 |
| holstein | rooh: nothing about 14.04 or any linux is preventing amd from supporting it.. id just fire it up and test | 20:57 |
| skors | !aliases | 20:57 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, so then I redo the steps I have done before? Or is there some other way? | 20:57 |
| skors | !alias | 20:57 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, BTW: the font concerns ALL windows/programs/etc. | 20:57 |
| MonkeyDust | skors what are you trying? | 20:57 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html amonng other ways to reset to default | 20:57 |
| rooh | holstein, i had some issues with it (not working), so i decided to ask | 20:58 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, thx, I will try and report ... | 20:58 |
| skors | Hi MonkeyDust, thanks for responding... wondering where my aliases on 12.04 are stored. I've checked .bashrc - that has some of them but not all of them | 20:58 |
| holstein | rooh: sure.. let them know you are wishing better support. there are PPA"s that the steam community suggest that you might want to try.. the xorg edgers PPA | 20:58 |
| skors | and .bash_aliases is empty | 20:58 |
| rooh | holstein, kay thanks, will look into it :) | 20:59 |
| louigi | Hey guys! Installed another kernel for xubuntu 12.04, but on boot grub does not show and I cannot choose which kernel to load. I have grub-pc installed, by default. | 21:00 |
| rooh | ah, one more question: i have something weird - my hibernate works fine, but suspend is not (as far as i gather from searches, the opposite is more common), any cues to where should i look to fix it? | 21:00 |
| reisio | louigi: ...what does show? | 21:00 |
| reisio | rooh: IME one works and the other does not, but they're the same thing | 21:00 |
| larsadin | Anyone else seeing a 404 from the precise-backports in /etc/apt/sources.list in ubuntu 12.04 server when doing sudo apt-get update? | 21:00 |
| reisio | rooh: the difference is only ever in your configuration for suspend/hibernate/sleep/blah/allthesamething | 21:01 |
| === scottala1 is now known as scottalan | ||
| reisio | rooh: as per the spec, they actually really _are_ all the same thing, just varying degrees | 21:01 |
| rooh | reisio, the trouble is that hibernate takes forever to write things on the hdd, | 21:01 |
| reisio | rooh: get an ssd | 21:01 |
| rooh | i need suspend to ram, because it's quicker | 21:01 |
| reisio | then tell it to suspend to ram and not hibernate | 21:01 |
| rooh | reisio, yeaaaaah :D | 21:02 |
| reisio | the most comprehensive implementation, AFAIK, is still the tuxonice patchset | 21:02 |
| reisio | but I haven't looked at it in a while | 21:02 |
| reisio | chances are Ubuntu (Debian) already has the important bits folded into their kernel | 21:02 |
| skors | MonkeyDust: figured out the problem, i wanted to modify an alias that i Just made but it's not listed in my .bashrc that i made b/c i haven't logged out yet. | 21:02 |
| rooh | the thing is, that suspend to ram should be more easier | 21:02 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, unity-reset created something again strange ... I reboot and see .. btw: unity-reset couldn't finish, it is in some endless loop | 21:02 |
| reisio | rooh: point being, don't get caught up in the names 'suspend' and 'hibernate', just focus on making it do what you want | 21:02 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: where would you like to start? | 21:03 |
| MonkeyDust | skors great! | 21:03 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: something created someting strange "again" ? so you have small fonts again? now different? | 21:03 |
| rooh | reisio, so i should try to make it stuff things into ram, not on the hdd got it; off to fiddle with it | 21:03 |
| Multbrelch | e.g., very strange font for output text in xchat ... I reboot and see, read u u soon | 21:04 |
| reisio | rooh: I'm just saying I wouldn't go worrying about what your GUI refers to as 'suspend' and 'hibernate', 'cause they're vague buzzwords IME | 21:04 |
| reisio | rooh: find the pref that says suspend to ram but not to hard disk, and that's that | 21:04 |
| Lucy18 | Hi! I give you some videos. I hope you like! http://j.mp/1gAh6Jy | 21:06 |
| reisio | Lucy18: thanks baby | 21:06 |
| Pici | thanks idoru | 21:06 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, so, reboot and: unity is reset | 21:06 |
| Multbrelch | I guess there might be some problem with compiz ... | 21:07 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: not if its not present in another user, likely | 21:07 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: i wouldnt start running "sudo whatever "commands you find online to "fix" unity.. or start adding/removing software to address anything.. try as the guest account, or a new user, and if things are as expected, the issue is likely in your users /home configuration | 21:09 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, yep, okay - To compiz: I configer compiz with 4x4 desktops and "Expo" on mouse in lower left corner and "Scale windows" on mouse on lower right corner. When I go into left corner and move windows from one desktop to another one, the system hangs sometimes => hardware reset or ctrl+alt+F1 => sudo reboot | 21:11 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: id just stop doing that, and file a bug, after looking into perhaps my graphics card driver support.. but, i dont use compiz anymore | 21:12 |
| Multbrelch | k | 21:12 |
| Multbrelch | holstein, thx for help btw ... | 21:14 |
| holstein | Multbrelch: cheers.. thats what we are here for | 21:14 |
| Multbrelch | hehe :) | 21:14 |
| ezio | i keep getting a Connection timed out with localhost.ca error from sendmail in my syslog | 21:18 |

| Minty | Hi, I turned my ubuntu 12.04 pc off on thursday and went away for the weekend. I've come back, booted it up and I get an error during boot that says "unable to mount disk drive at path/to/pc-name as not yet ready or not present". I can type s to skip the mount and then it looks like it boots normally and my files are all accessible etc. Any idea what's wrong? | 21:22 |
| keeper_19_86 | Hi. Does anybody here know what this "reactivate HP LaserJet 1018/1020 after reloading"-Program (preinstalled on every xubuntu 14.04) is all about? | 21:22 |
| holstein | keeper_19_86: no.. but check a package manager for more information on any package | 21:23 |
| holstein | keeper_19_86: looks to me like its relating to an HP printer.. | 21:23 |
| keeper_19_86 | hostein: yeah, but i never configured one ... it was there from the beginning ... | 21:24 |
| holstein | keeper_19_86: im sorry. i didnt mean to imply you did.. im just suggesting that any more information you need should be able to be found in a package manager | 21:24 |

| holstein | Minty: no need to repost | 21:27 |
| keeper_19_86 | holstein: nothing to be sorry about! could you just give me one more hint, what to search for? The only thing i know right now is, that its a starter in the menu with the command "/usr/share/foo2zjs/hplj10xx_gui.tcl". I don't know what to search for in e.g. synaptic | 21:27 |
| reisio | unless you want reisio to see it :) | 21:27 |
| holstein | Minty: i would want to (as always) make sure my data is backedup .. then, i would run a hard drive test, if it were my machine | 21:27 |
| reisio | Minty: it does that every time you reboot? | 21:27 |
| Minty | reisio: every time since this evening yea, never had it before and all was fine when i shut it down on thursday | 21:28 |
| holstein | keeper_19_86: you said you found the package.. just look at that one | 21:28 |
| === jake is now known as Guest58710 | ||
| reisio | mm, neat | 21:28 |
| holstein | keeper_19_86: or are you just finding only that file in the /usr/shar and not an application? | 21:28 |
| holstein | Minty: i have seen that message plenty on systems with encrypted home.. | 21:28 |
| Guest58710 | just installed ubuntu :) | 21:29 |
| Minty | holstein: what does that mean? | 21:29 |
| rnz | Anybody known how to disable rewriting /etc/X11/xorg.conf in 14.04 ? When start X (lightdm) xorg.conf moved to xorg.conf.<date> and generated new xorg.conf with basic device sections. | 21:29 |
| keeper_19_86 | holstein: no i never mentioned a package... I only found this entry in my menu (from a brand new installed xubuntu 14.04) and i assumed it is a program. But since it seems very specific (to the printer type) i'm wondering what this is about | 21:29 |
| Jordan_U | Minty: Please pastebin your /etc/fstab. | 21:29 |
| Minty | holstein: reisio by the way, i'm planning on updating to 14.04 tomorrow evening - does that change anything? should i go ahead and do that and then see if this problem still persists after? | 21:29 |
| kostkon | Minty, open the system log app, look in your syslog and kern.log for example for that message and paste it | 21:30 |
| JulesR2 | HIIIIIIIII! | 21:30 |
| holstein | Minty: i would (as suggested) already have data backups, and test the drive before installing 14.04 | 21:30 |
| holstein | Minty: i dont see that you have a problem.. you are getting a message | 21:30 |
| Minty | kostkon, Jordan_U ok 1 sec, will need to reboot it | 21:30 |
| reisio | it's a problem if it stops his bootup, and not if it doesn't :) | 21:30 |
| kostkon | Minty, you don;t need to if you have rebooted recently | 21:31 |
| Jordan_U | Minty: When you boot, make note of (at least) the first 4 digits of the UUID that the error mentions. | 21:31 |

| Minty | kostkon: i meant it's currently turned off, i'm on my laptop | 21:31 |
| Minty | Jordan_U: ok will do thanks | 21:31 |
| kostkon | Minty, oh ok, then during boot when you get the message write it down | 21:32 |
| reisio | Minty: pause/break key will sometimes pause output | 21:33 |
| Minty | kostkon: Jordan_U ok so i've just booted now and it's taken to me to what looks like a recovery mode type option screen | 21:33 |
| Minty | kostkon, Jordan_U "GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.14" | 21:34 |
| kostkon | Minty, are you dual booting | 21:34 |
| Minty | kostkon: no | 21:34 |
| Minty | kostkon, Jordan_U then i have 5 options, ubuntu 3.20generic, ubuntu 3.2-generic (recovery mode), previous linux versions, memory test, another memory test | 21:34 |
| Minty | i think that screens come up because i turned pc off by holding down button before mid-boot | 21:35 |
| Minty | i've selected the first option which is my ubuntu system and now i'm seeing the familiar error message | 21:35 |
| kostkon | Minty, ok. next time use reisub | 21:35 |
| kostkon | !reisub | 21:35 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 21:35 |
| Minty | kostkon, Jordan_U: "The disk drive for /media/ADAM-PC is not ready yet or not present" | 21:35 |
| reisio | next time have a backup, and then if your fs and fsck both fail, you're still fine :p | 21:35 |
| kostkon | ah mid-boot | 21:35 |
| reisio | Minty: is adam-pc listed in /etc/fstab ? | 21:36 |
| Minty | reisio: i'll skip mounting and load up and check 1 sec | 21:36 |
| Minty | what's the command to dump a file to paste.ubuntu.com again? | 21:38 |
| holstein | !pastebinit | 21:38 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:38 |
| Minty | cheers | 21:38 |
| reisio | cheersios | 21:38 |

| Minty | reisio: anything suspicious? | 21:40 |
| reisio | Minty: run 'lsblk -f', tell me if you see '5A22DB2D22DB0CBF' or 'ADAM-PC' | 21:40 |
| Noiro | anyone know a simple program which can clone a harddrive of multiple partitions (some are NTFS) to another harddrive exactly as-is? | 21:41 |
| Minty | reisio: ok will do, i just reisub'd | 21:41 |
| reisio | Minty: I'm guessing you had a usb stick plugged in when you did a hard shutdown, and now it thinks it should always be there for some reason | 21:41 |
| kostkon | !clone | 21:41 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 21:41 |
| beachbuddah | Hello folks, Happy Earth Day | 21:41 |
| reisio | beachbuddah: heyo, and to you | 21:41 |
| kostkon | hmm nope | 21:41 |
| geirha | Noiro: ddrescue from the gddrescue package | 21:41 |
| beachbuddah | Running 14.04 I went to the terminal and installed tor | 21:41 |
| beachbuddah | ty reisin | 21:42 |
| beachbuddah | But of course it didn't run when I gave the command in theterm | 21:42 |
| reisio | r-e-i[TAB] | 21:42 |
| holstein | !tor | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 21:42 |
| beachbuddah | so I uinstalled - via the software center - vidalia | 21:42 |
| Minty | reisio: i see ADAM--PC--vg-root amongst other things | 21:42 |
| Noiro | geirha, will that copy alterations made to the MBR as well? | 21:42 |
| Minty | reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7310191/ | 21:43 |
| geirha | If you tell it to copy the whole disk, then yes, that will include the MBR | 21:43 |
| beachbuddah | but running vidalia gets me the message that it can't connect to tor - why? the path in vidalia points to usr/sbin/tor..but tor isn't there | 21:43 |
| beachbuddah | any idea whee it might be hiding? | 21:43 |
| Noiro | alright cool. I just bought a new SSD because the one in my comp is too small, so I just want to fire everything over and I can expand partitions later | 21:44 |
| reisio | Minty: what I would do is edit /etc/fstab as root | 21:44 |
| reisio | Minty: comment out the /media/blah blah adam-pc line at the end (put a # at its start), and call it a day | 21:44 |
| StrangeNoises | how do you set an ubuntu laptop to use a web proxy only when it's only on a given wifi network??? | 21:44 |
| Minty | reisio: i have a feeling i added that a while ago deliberately, can't remember why now | 21:44 |
| reisio | Noiro: it's actually easier IME to duplicate partitions and then simply rsync over data | 21:45 |
| StrangeNoises | i've just realised... you can't! | 21:45 |
| reisio | Minty: sounds like the sort of thing that happened | 21:45 |
| reisio | Minty: anyways, if you remember what it was for, it'll be there in a coomment | 21:45 |
| reisio | comment* | 21:45 |
| reisio | StrangeNoises: course you can | 21:45 |
| StrangeNoises | automatically? | 21:45 |
| Minty | reisio: i didn'd add anything, that was a different file - i've never touched this one | 21:45 |
| StrangeNoises | ie: without going to network settings and changing it when you change networks? | 21:46 |
| geirha | Noiro: you can also use dd, but ddrescue can print progress (if you include -v for verbose) and it's easier to resume with it (if you abort, accidentally or otherwise) | 21:46 |
| Stu| | hey helpful people, after upgrade to 14.04 the other day i've had issues booting (constant reboots just before login screen), but if i go into advanced and choose recovery kernel it boots fine after selecting resume and doing nothing else, any ideas what could have screwed up? | 21:46 |
| Minty | reisio: oh wait, i did, the last line in the first pastebin file is to auto give certain permissions | 21:46 |
| Rhianne18 | Hi! I give you some videos. I hope you like! http://bit.ly/1gAh6Jy | 21:46 |
| Noiro | i've got Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 running atm, and it'll be the same box, just don't want to have to redo configs | 21:47 |
| jake_ | MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY | 21:47 |
| geirha | Noiro: Right, both will do. ddrescue is just easier to deal with than dd. | 21:48 |
| Noiro | Will I need to print off documentation first or is it pretty intuitive to work out? | 21:48 |
| geirha | Noiro: You should boot a live CD, like the Ubuntu 14.04 desktop CD. From there, install gddrescue if you have internet access. | 21:49 |
| reisio | Minty: comment the line, it will stop complaining | 21:49 |
| Noiro | geirha, why do I need to install gddrescue, shouldn't it be on the cd? | 21:50 |
| Minty | thanks all for your help | 21:50 |
| Noiro | oh, wait, boot any boot cd and install it | 21:50 |
| geirha | Noiro: Next step is to identify the harddrives. `sudo fdisk -l` should hopefully suffice, else you could try gparted which gives you the same information in a GUI. | 21:50 |
| reisio | Noiro: 'dd' probably already is | 21:50 |
| reisio | Noiro: it can be tricky to use | 21:50 |
| geirha | Noiro: dd already is, and will suffice for this, but ddrescue is not preinstalled on the live CD, but it's easy to install. | 21:51 |
| Noiro | I'm not the greatest with commandline, but I've played in gparted a bit | 21:51 |
| reisio | ddrescue is more useful for, unsurprisingly, rescuing things from broken stuff | 21:51 |
| geirha | Noiro: If you're currently in Ubuntu, try running sudo fdisk -l in a terminal it lists all your harddrives and the partitions on them | 21:52 |
| rnz | omg! who idiot make default override/replace xorg.conf ?! | 21:53 |
| * StrangeNoises marks myself affected by, and adds a comment to, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1288604. i'm amazed more people haven't noticed this. is no-one else using ubuntu on a laptop that's actually taken to different places? | 21:53 | |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1288604 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "No option to set proxy for network" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 21:53 |
| geirha | what? people still use xorg.conf? | 21:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all | 21:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | rnz: thought it normally prompted you..although it seemed to prompt me more on the server upgrade.. | 21:54 |
| Noiro | geirha, got it, but I'll probably need to put the new HDD into the comp first, haha | 21:54 |
| rnz | for crossfire configuration need xorg.conf - (all question why - send to amd) | 21:55 |
| geirha | Noiro: well, yes, Ubuntu isn't able to communicate with unconnected hard drives yet :) | 21:56 |

| OerHeks | EleanorEllis, acpi is done by the bios, nothing softwarematic about it. speeding up/down sounds normal to me. | 22:03 |
| tgm4883 | EleanorEllis, You could monitor the temperature sensors in the laptop. IIRC, the package is sensord (or was it lm-sensors) | 22:03 |
| EleanorEllis | OerHeks: I don't know if it's running for any good reason or not. It just makes a lot of noise even when nothing much is happening | 22:03 |
| kostkon | mackcam, check your logs in /var/log e.g. syslog kern.log | 22:03 |

Any idea what might have happened? | 22:03 |
| bimafra | reisio: Trade of is always being up to date vs. trusting the repo/source... | 22:03 |

| frib | reisio, but there's not really need for a ss, the menus are greyed out | 22:04 |
| reisio | bimafra: mmm, well it's a matter of trust | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | mackcam: Only if you have a crashkernel to fall back to, which Ubuntu doesn't by default. To enable kernel crash dumps (by basically loading two kernels at boot, one which is used for normal operation and another whose only purpose in life is to be jumped to and safely save a crashdump of the first) follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe | 22:04 |

| fayesal | Kevin`: hence uninstall biosdevname | 22:36 |
| tgm4883 | EleanorEllis, that's a bit weird, probably because top refreshes every second. How about piping a single top run to temp file, then use pastebinit. You can get a single run by doing "top -n 1" | 22:37 |

| tgm4883 | EleanorEllis, another thing you might try is going into the BIOS/UEFI and seeing if there are temperature readings in there. We can troubleshoot this quite a bit, but I'm not sure there is anything we could do about the fan. Those are mostly handled by the BIOS now (I actually have a Dell I want to do the opposite on and turn the fan on all the time, but can't) | 22:51 |

| Jordan_U | How can I convert a png file to a bmp with 4 bit color depth? I have tried to use imagemagic's convert, with "convert test.png -depth 4 test.bmp", but this results in an image with a bit depth of 32. | 22:59 |
| vector_ | how do I get an animated gif in kde as the wallpaper | 23:02 |
| reisio | vector_: by suspending good taste | 23:02 |
| bekks | reisio++ | 23:02 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: what makes you think it's 32? | 23:02 |
| vector_ | It doesn't have to be a gif but want an animation on kde | 23:03 |
| reisio | vector_: likely what you do is tell KDE where your image is | 23:04 |
| reisio | done | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: The fact that the result is 33KiB rather than 5, and my image viewer says so also. | 23:04 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: what image viewer? | 23:04 |
| vector_ | kde doesn't seen to support animated gif | 23:05 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: what does identify -verbose say? | 23:05 |
| reisio | vector_: see if xsetroot does, then | 23:05 |
| reisio | vector_: or try MNG or APNG | 23:05 |
| reisio | vector_: or make a script that refreshes unanimated frames in succession | 23:05 |
| reisio | vector_: or use one of those apps that sets a "web page" as background, and use an animated web page image/background | 23:05 |
| intok | Whas the state of Bluray playbck in 14.04? | 23:06 |
| reisio | vector_: or use one of those apps that sets a video as background | 23:06 |
| reisio | intok: extant | 23:06 |
| ax562 | Why does ubuntu 12.04LTS use up so much ram? I have 4GB of ram and ubuntu is using 3.5GB while nothing is running. This cannot be how it's supposed to be working. | 23:07 |
| ax562 | according to "Top" | 23:07 |
| reisio | ax562: unused ram is wasted ram | 23:07 |

| reisio | what's better, rationing all your food, or pretending you won't ever run out? | 23:07 |
| vector_ | reisio: would xsetroot work at 10 fps | 23:08 |
| reisio | vector_: it either will or it won't | 23:08 |
| Yelu | reisio, reisio on animations with *vector_* graphics: just priceless ... thank you | 23:09 |
| reisio | well, you don't need vectors for finite dimensions (a monitor of known dimensions) | 23:10 |
| reisio | but | 23:10 |
| reisio | for that I'd go with the "website as desktop" route | 23:11 |
| reisio | since web browsers already have animated vector support | 23:11 |
| reisio | looking to the future, you can probably do some cute things with wayland stuff | 23:11 |
| reisio | you can probably do something nice and hacky with imagemagick's animate and some other hackery, too | 23:11 |
| Kevin` | fayesal: it's getting named to p128p1 with biosdevname uninstalled, and the rule I tried to write myself to override it also applies to vlan interfaces and breaks them | 23:12 |
| reisio | Kevin`: what's getting renamed? | 23:12 |
| Kevin` | reisio: eth0 | 23:13 |
| reisio | Kevin`: why do you care what it's named? | 23:13 |
| Kevin` | reisio: it's not a static name, it'll probably change randomly | 23:13 |
| Kevin` | and now, there's no script or application that should be assigning this name | 23:13 |
| Kevin` | why is it still here | 23:14 |
| reisio | no... that's the whole point of those names, that they not change | 23:14 |
| reisio | "eth0" is ambiguous | 23:14 |
| Kevin` | it's not ambiguous when it's in persistant net rules | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: The image viewer is Windows Photo Viewer (on another machine), but indeed identify --verbose outputs http://paste.ubuntu.com/7310637/ , which does indeed seem to say that the image has a bit depth of 4. | 23:14 |
| reisio | Kevin`: I'd just pass net.ifnames=0 in grub's config and call ita day | 23:15 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: well I can tell you right now which of those applications I trust | 23:16 |
| Kevin` | what's that do? | 23:16 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: and it's not the one that starts with 'Windows' | 23:16 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: however | 23:16 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: if you have an _example_ file that is a bitmap of the depth and other attributes that Windows sees the way you _want it to see_ | 23:16 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: you can use the information identify -verbose gives you on _that file_ to figure out how to duplicate those attributes on another file | 23:16 |
| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| reisio | Jordan_U: what're you fiddling with either of BMP or depth with for anyways, though? | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: For work we have a rugged OLED display that we need to drive from a microcontroller, and it's 4 bits per pixel (for 16 shades of yellow). BMP is a format that I can display with a simple loop in C. | 23:20 |
| reisio | fair enough | 23:20 |
| reisio | I wouldn't worry about what Windows thinks, in that case | 23:20 |
| reisio | or indeed in almost any case :p | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: The size does worry me though, I'm testing it with the actual display/microcontroller now. | 23:21 |
| reisio | 33k? | 23:23 |
| reisio | for what dimensions? | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: For a 128x64 image. | 23:23 |
| reisio | ooh, rdesktop is on this live image | 23:23 |
| reisio | that does seem a little high, but not hugely so | 23:25 |
| === rafael is now known as Guest3848 | ||
| Jordan_U | reisio: gcc won't even allow me to make an array large enough to test it. | 23:25 |
| reisio | 8/4-bit doesn't sound like what you really want | 23:26 |
| Guest3848 | hola | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: Basically, I need to end up with an array of bytes that I can send directly to the display, with the first nibble containing the brightness of one pixel, and the second nibble containing the brightness of the pixel after it, starting at the top left pixel, and moving right until the end of the line then moving down to the next line. A 16 "color" BMP gets me almost this, as the end of the file is lines from right to left, ... | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | ... but for some misterical raisins has lines from bottom to top (which I can deal with). | 23:27 |
| dw1 | mmm, misterical raisins | 23:29 |
| reisio | Guest3848: shalom | 23:29 |
| reisio | dw1: mmm | 23:29 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: so just brightness, but not different colors? | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: Correct. | 23:29 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: think I'd just use a text file with like... hex values in it | 23:30 |
| Jok3r | Hi all! | 23:30 |
| dw1 | all is away | 23:30 |
| Jok3r | too bad dwl | 23:31 |
| dw1 | yeah, whats up? | 23:31 |
| Jok3r | nothing really, just a noob here | 23:31 |
| Jok3r | is this channel for support only? | 23:31 |
| reisio | Jordan_U: should be like 12k then | 23:32 |
| dw1 | yeah, pretty much | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: And currently I'm generating said text file by exporting (from the original svg) to png from inkscape, then using MS paint to save as 16 "color" bmp, then using grub-bin2hex to generate a header file with the array definition. Obviously the use of MS Paint is somewhat embarrasing and less than ideal, and so I'm trying to replace that step :) | 23:32 |
| reisio | you can probably do all that with just imagemagick, it wouldn't surprise me | 23:33 |
| === xubuntu is now known as submundo | ||
| Jordan_U | reisio: 4 KiB exactly for that actual pixel data. | 23:34 |
| reisio | few ppl in ##imagemagick | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: I asked there first :) | 23:34 |
| reisio | you sick asker you | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | reisio: 64 * 128 = 8192 pixels, at 2 pixels per byte that's 4096 bytes. | 23:36 |
| reisio | I have a script somewhere for printing out the color information of an individual pixel from stdin using imagemagick | 23:36 |
| reisio | but it's buried deep | 23:36 |
| AP-- | i keep getting quieted on channels | 23:36 |

| cyborgcygnus | Anyone have this problem when trying to use another hdd for steam games? "New steam library folder must be on a file system mounted with executive permissions"? It's preventing me from using my game drive as the default install location | 23:37 |

| owen1 | after upgrading to 14.04 i don't don't see the wireless icon (HP folio ultrabook). any tips? | 23:41 |
| daftykins | cyborgcygnus: NTFS being a bad idea as warned in dw1's link is accurate - you really ought to change it to EXT4 | 23:41 |
| SchrodingersScat | cyborgcygnus: yeah, I don't think that's an acceptable setup, please choose a common filesystem, something a little more modern? | 23:41 |
| EleanorEllis | tgm4883: There weren't any BIOS options for controlling power at all. I couldn't test it in Windows. The first time I booted Windows it took some time to do some system updates before rebooting, then after starting Windows it just sat there for over five minutes saying "Please wait". After rebooting Ubuntu and logging in, the CPU temperature was about 65 degrees C, but quickly rose to about 80 degrees once I started watching a DVD. Str | 23:42 |

| cyborgcygnus | schrodingerscat, lol both hilarious replies. It's a drive I use in Windows & I simply made a folder for steam games, I can't reformat the whole drive as I won't be able to use it in windows. Looks like my old poop 500gbs is going to btrfs (Would I run into problems using that for steam games?) | 23:43 |

| EleanorEllis | tgm4883: After rebooting Ubuntu and logging in, the CPU temperature was about 65 degrees C, but quickly rose to about 80 degrees once I started watching a DVD.

| SchrodingersScat | cyborgcygnus: I made the same mistake, made a partition ntfs as a common ground between windows and linux, as windows is on the opposite side often asking that disks be in ntfs, the life lesson is don't get peer pressured into using inferior products. idk if btrfs helps you | 23:45 |

| cyborgcygnus | schrodingerscat, it's weird because at the install screen for xubuntu it gives the option for formatting the partition/drive to btrfs but once installed gparted has that blanked out. I'd have to install it from a terminal again or software centre. | 23:46 |

| Yelu | owen1: a guess: (p)urge? (i)nstalled | 23:53 |
| owen1 | Yelu: reading about it. yeah. p means ' no trace of the package exists on the system' | 23:53 |

| dw1 | gremlin in the system :( | 23:57 |
| mic_e | correction: it actually crashes a few seconds after I click 'install now' | 23:57 |
| mic_e | which just happened to coincide with the moment I selected the timezone | 23:58 |
| mic_e | and it doesn't even tell me what it means by 'has crashed' | 23:58 |
