[00:00] LukeMaxwell: there are various "desktops" which can be installed that will run with Ubuntu; gnome is the old standard; unity, I think, is still the latest; there is Cinnamon, which linuxmint uses; there are ways to give your computer the look and feel of running a mac os (I have one of those installed on this laptop), etc. [00:01] if u dude like KDE go to SUSE [00:01] dw1: No, you want to just install grub2 (since really, it's installed already). [00:01] My server box currently uses eth1, is there a way to change it to eth0? Just change the eth in the /etc/network/interfaces? [00:01] desktop=gui [00:01] Jordan_U: k [00:02] y [00:02] Jordan_U: so now im back where I was before grub-install? [00:03] leodebordo33: Could you please restrict your comments to ubuntu support and please address the user you are speaking to when you do. [00:03] ok my dear [00:04] dw1: Before installing grub legacy, yes. Now let's make sure that the grub-pc is configured optimally. Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc". [00:04] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/bFF1ztcd [00:04] LukeMaxwell: you are not the only one asking this question please see http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5923 [00:05] gmachine_24: headed there now. thanks [00:05] Given you have a port already binded to 127.0.0.1, is there a way to use iptables to expose this same port number to 0.0.0.0? (port forwarding on the same port?!) [00:06] dw1: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy [00:06] Okay is problem: i install ubuntu server on my laptop via a usb pen, after it was done it rebooted and booted perfectly into terminal, then i add grub and add nomodeset, i reboot this time without usb and now i cannot get in, then i insert usb agian and it works again. can someone help? [00:06] dw1: When prompted for install devices, select all of your drives that the BIOS might boot from (*not* any partitions). Select drives with space bar, continue with Enter. [00:06] Someone know an bitlbee alternative based on XMPP? [00:07] Jordan_U: ok so /dev/sda and /dev/sdb .. what about /dev/md1 the raid for the boot partition [00:07] Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/". [00:08] gmachine_24: interesting article but it sounds like it can't be done. [00:08] Jordan_U: this is impossible since now i cannot get in even with usb [00:08] dw1: Not /dev/md1, this is asking where to put grub's boot sector, which is the one part of grub that the BIOS loads directly. Since your BIOS can't assemble an mdraid array, installing a boot sector there doesn't make sense :) [00:09] LukeMaxwell: yes, agreed. however, there is the lxde desktop which looks a lot like windows . . . which is what someone answered.... my point was really that it's hard to know what's possible or not without researching... [00:09] Jordan_U: got it, thanks. im taking notes. :) [00:09] cd / [00:09] du -x -m --max-depth=1 | sort -n [00:09] gmachine_24: Is lxde a distro of linux? [00:10] dw1: You're welcome :) [00:10] a [00:10] Eve k g [00:10] LukeMaxwell: it's a desktop :-) [00:10] leodebordo33: Who were your last two messages directed toward? [00:11] Jordan_U: ok http://pastebin.com/w7Frrjxv [00:11] Jordan_U: okay im in for some wierd reason. now how do i get the content of: "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/". [00:11] i do now in space (NASA) [00:12] Maltahl: Run those two commands, and copy and paste their output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com. [00:13] LukeMaxwell: a desktop which can look a lot like Windows see http://www.lxde.org/lxde_desktop [00:13] k [00:13] Does anyone know of a linux version of Connectify Dispatch? www.connectify.me/dispatch/ Dispatch is a software wifi load balancer [00:14] dw1: Ok. "debconf-show grub-pc" again please. [00:14] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333705/ [00:14] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/1SE3LmD6 [00:14] LukeMaxwell: that looks like a dead link [00:15] Jordan_U: the usb multicard reader is the same usb that was used to install ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as Guest1725 [00:16] Maltahl: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy [00:16] Jordan_U: command not found [00:16] #zyzoom [00:17] Maltahl: Did you copy the command exactly? [00:17] Jordan_U: yup [00:17] Maltahl: What is the exact error message? [00:18] Jordan_U: sudo: upgrade-from-grub-legacy: command not found [00:18] btw should i unplug the usb ? [00:18] Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "dpkg -l | grep grub". [00:18] apt-get install grub-pc [00:19] Maltahl: Doesn't really matter much at this point. [00:19] exit [00:19] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333722/ [00:20] reisio, sorry I had to leave the IRC for a while, but am back now... yes, it pops up after the main ubuntu login, and what is xwininfo? What do you mean by " BlackDalek: try using xwininfo" [00:20] Maltahl: sudo apt-get install grub-pc [00:20] damn.. missed him :( [00:21] Maltahl : apt-get install grub2-common === lol is now known as Guest51712 [00:21] chainload from menu.1st ? [00:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Upgrading might help [00:21] Maltahl: No. [00:22] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333727/ [00:22] now ? [00:23] Maltahl: Leave it empty and continue. [00:24] Maltahl: When prompted for install devices, select all of your drives that the BIOS might boot from (*not* any partitions) and unselect your card reader if it's still there. Select/Unselect drives with space bar, continue with Enter. [00:24] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333735/ [00:25] this is what i get now [00:25] so now it asks: Finish conversion to GRUB 2 now ? [00:25] Anyone know how to fix continual signon-ui popup bug that appeared after upgrade to trusty tahr 14.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451245/signon-ui-enter-your-credentials-dialog-on-desktop === LOLMINECRAFTISUP is now known as bulletrulz129 [00:27] Evening :-) [00:27] anyone have any idea about wifi load balancers in linux?? === xubuntu is now known as Guest91699 === ethan is now known as Guest19452 [00:30] errors [00:30] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333757/ [00:31] hello [00:32] is this the support irc for ubuntu [00:33] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333757/ [00:33] yes Guest19452 [00:34] I am new to ubuntu I just switched from windows 7. I have been trying to play a movie on ubuntu, but it does work. It works with certain movies with others it does not. I was wondering if anyone could help [00:35] On 14.04, it looks like my connection to X breaks and I'm just looking at a frozen screen. I can ctrl-alt-f1 to terminal, restart lightdm, and then it acts like everything's fine. What logs can I look at to track down the soure of this issue, and maybe fix it or submit a proper bug report? [00:36] So far nothing has worked [00:36] Guest19452: Most likely you have the codecs for somes files and not others [00:36] what type of file played and what type of file didn't play? [00:37] Guest19452, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package to get more codecs. Search for it in the software centre [00:37] Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "debconf-show grub-pc". [00:37] Cheekio: try /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors [00:37] Xorg.0.log is disappointingly unhelpful [00:37] .xsessions... I'll check that now thougH! [00:38] Anyone know how to fix continual signon-ui popup bug that appeared after upgrade to trusty tahr 14.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451245/signon-ui-enter-your-credentials-dialog-on-desktop [00:38] Also not terribly helpful [00:38] I have already installed those it still does not work [00:38] Any way I can turn on verbose logging for xserver? [00:38] Guest28388: What video player are you usin? [00:38] Cheekio: and/or other system logs like /var/log/syslog perhaps [00:38] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333802/ [00:38] Cheekio: dont know, not expert :) [00:38] I started by looking at syslog and kern.log :( [00:39] dw1: That looks good. [00:39] I have installed livdvdnav4 livdvdread4 and livdvdcss2 [00:39] Jordan_U: i thought so.. pretty straightforward now that i think about it [00:39] I am using vlc [00:40] Maltahl: You selected a partition as one of the install devices. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and this time unselect the partition. [00:40] Jordan_U: i guess nothing bad happened when i chose to 'install package maintainers version' when kernel was upgraded.. or if something bad did happen it could be fixed by the process we did [00:40] Jordan_U: now i know how to check with debconf :) [00:41] Should I reinstall ubuntu [00:41] Jordan_U: and the difference between legacy and grub2 [00:42] !dvd | Guest19452 [00:42] Guest19452: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:42] Jordan_U now its shows parameters: quiet splash nomodeset [00:42] I do realize that, but I am wondering if it has to do something with maybe the files being corrupted [00:43] Jordan_U so now i just select /dev/sda ? [00:44] Maltahl: Correct. [00:45] Cheekio: maybe /var/log/gdm/* [00:46] Jordan_U: so if grub breaks or something I shouldnt run grub-install but... apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc, perhaps? [00:47] Jordan_U: how can i get back to that 'select drive' menu? [00:47] Jordan_U: say, if grub-pc is already installed [00:48] dw1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [00:48] Jordan_U: ah great [00:48] there Jordan_u what now ? :) [00:49] Maltahl: "debconf-show grub-pc" again to be sure, but you should be done now. [00:49] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333879/ [00:50] Maltahl: lookin' good :) [00:50] so now i just reboot ? :) [00:50] Does anyone who's joined this channel in the last 15 minutes know how to fix continual signon-ui popup bug that appeared after upgrade to trusty tahr 14.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451245/signon-ui-enter-your-credentials-dialog-on-desktop [00:51] BlackDalek, what happens when you dismiss it [00:52] kostkon, it respawns after a second. [00:52] BlackDalek, do you know its process name [00:53] BlackDalek : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#Use_of_tilde_in_pathnames_such_as_.22credentials.3D.2BAH4ALw.smbcredentials.22 [00:53] Maltahl: Indeed, that looks good. You should be able to reboot from the internal drive now. [00:53] kostkon, as far as I know, it is signon-ui (I can kill that process, and the popup disappears, then it respawns). [00:53] awesome! lets try it out! [00:54] Jordan_U OMFG IT WORKS!!! if you ever stop by in copenhagen then email me at maltahlgaming@gmail.com then first 5 beers are on me! [00:55] Maltahl: :) [00:55] leonlemouton, I am unsure how that page is relevant. I am not trying to mount any windows share. [00:55] BlackDalek, and which icon does it use [00:55] kostkon, icon? [00:56] BlackDalek, in the launcher [00:56] Why are people still installing php xcache when zend opcache is now included in PHP? [00:56] koston, a big grey square with a grey "?" in it. [00:58] kostkon, a big grey square with a grey "?" in it. [00:58] what is a good gui text editor? [00:58] !poll [00:58] !polls [01:01] Is this an acceptable place to ask for help with a problem I am having? [01:01] unlimitednights, yes, this is the support channel [01:01] Delightful. Here is what is going on with me kostkon. [01:01] hi. if i have a question that isn't strictly ubuntu related, but involves linux - can i ask it in here? I can't see an appropriate channel, and I've always got a lot of help before on here. It involves converting a gpt/mbr hybrid to gpt without losing data. [01:02] BlackDalek, could you check your process list or maybe pastebin it with ps -fu yourusername [01:02] I, for the life of me, can't change the owner or group of a directory I have in /media, when I unmount it, the directory has basic user ownership and group, but as soon as I mount -a, it changes it back to root... Any ideas? === Guest34745 is now known as omni3 [01:02] omni3, there is ##linux [01:03] ooh, thanks, didn't know/notice that one [01:04] ciao bello /quit [01:06] kostkon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7333950/ [01:07] BlackDalek, process names are cut in half, maybe you could maximise your terminal before giving the command [01:07] need help with webcam. why am i not in the video group by default? === Spitfire_ is now known as Spitfire [01:08] Hi, I have ubuntu server 12.04 installed and my /boot is full so I can't install anything using apt-get install and I can't remove the linux-headers that are using up the space with apt-get remove (same error, no space left on drive). Can I just rm the old header files from /boot to make space? [01:09] kostkon, not sure why lines aren't wrapping. I will create a new paste. [01:09] Jack64: use dpkg to remove a package in there [01:10] daftykins: sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.8.0-29 returns gzip: stdout: No space left on device [01:11] Jordan_U : just 1 thing i need to get help and its pretty simple [01:11] apt-get autoremove doesn't work either.. [01:11] Jack64: what part of 'use dpkg' makes you refer to apt-get? :) [01:11] oops xD my bad [01:11] kostkon, new paste - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7333972/ === omni3 is now known as hallwaxer [01:12] Does anyone have any particular tips for me? [01:12] Jordan_U : i want to set my server to auto mount my nas drive. i already found the command and put it into rc.local. put for some reason it does not work. but when i enter the exact command manually it works. [01:13] daftykins: is that dpkg remove ? [01:13] unlimitednights: mount it with 'user' as options? [01:13] BlackDalek, did you by any chance try to setup an account in Online Accounts [01:14] kostkon, I have several. But if I disable all of them, the popup still persists... [01:15] pela: Jebałem twoja matka [01:15] pardon, wrong window [01:16] Maltahl: Please pastebin the command and your /etc/rc.local (though automatic mounting at boot should really be configured in /etc/fstab). [01:16] daftykins: I removed a couple headers but no space freed on /boot... any other suggestions? [01:16] daftykins, on the mount man page, under "The non-super user mounts" it says I can put it in the fstab file to mount as [username] is that correct? [01:17] i will censor the username and pass [01:17] Jack64: Why do you have a separate /boot/? [01:17] Jack64: yeah headers aren't there, you got several kernels on there? remove the oldest maybe? [01:17] dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc wants to add "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" to my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. I did some googling but can't tell if that's bad for my setup, which is software RAID with two drives. I am currently able to do mdadm --detail /dev/md1 and see some information, if thats relevant.. Adding to concern, there appears to be a bug where these parameters are suggested and even duplicated on every execution (http://j.mp/1nuHCwu), so I don't know if they [01:17] were there before or not.. [01:17] Jordan_U: why not? :) [01:18] Jordan_U http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333991/ [01:18] BlackDalek, it could be coming from indicator-internode? i can see its some kind of indicator that connects to your isp? [01:18] dw1: "cat /proc/cmdline" will tell you what kernel parameters were used for this boot. [01:18] daftykins: Because you can run out of space :) [01:18] Jordan_U: I have encrypted partitions so /boot is just 250MB in size and fills up pretty fast. dpkg -r linux-image-generic.3.8.0-29 did the trick ;) [01:18] Jordan_U: pff that's a silly argument [01:18] Jordan_U: ahh, no paramaters... glad i ran dpkg-reconfigure and found that bug then.. now ill remove them. thanks [01:19] Jack64: good man - purge all the kernels bar for the latest known-good one then before trouble occurs [01:19] Jack64: another trick i learnt, for reference, is tune2fs to remove root's reserved space % to make a bit more room [01:20] dw1: You're welcome. [01:20] kostkon, yes possibly. I considered that, but it will not accept the username/passord associated with that applet. :( [01:20] daftykins: thanks for that tip on tune2fs. does sudo apt-get autoremove purge all others kernels or do I have to do it manually? [01:21] BlackDalek, would it be possible to close/quit it? [01:21] Jack64: manual, autoremove just removes headers of already removed kernels [01:22] daftykins: got it. [01:24] Maltahl: There is a lot wrong with that, 1: rc.local is already run as root, no need for sudo 2: Static networking should really be configured in /etc/network/interfaces 3: Using delays is generally unreliable and considered bad practice, you should find a way that confirms that for example the network is actually up before continuing 4: Scripts that will be run as root should not generally be stored in your home directory and ... [01:24] ... writeable by users other than root 5: Mounts should be configured in /etc/fstab rather than via manual scripts 6: /media/ is a directory for storing other directories that will be used as mount points, it shouldn't be a mountpoint itself. Unfortunately I need to leave so I won't be able to walk you through fixing all of those problems. [01:25] Jordan_U: im a noobie :S [01:25] but thanks [01:26] Maltahl: Didn't mean to be harsh, just had to write the message quickly. And you're welcome :) [01:26] Jordan_U: i know :) and im thankful for your help :) im just telling you why it was setup like a madman [01:27] Maltahl : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:31] hello #ubuntu. i installed 14.04 on my laptop just yesterday, but am having issues with my touchpad now. the cursor moves very slowly/essentially not at all via touchpad, but works perfectly when i connect a wireless mouse. of course, i can't always use my mouse so i'd like to get the touchpad working. any tips? === Daemoen_ is now known as Daemoen [01:36] <[Ex0r]> is there a way in ubuntu to force dhcp lease update to change my ip ? [01:36] <[Ex0r]> The system is conflicting with another device and keeps losing connection [01:37] sudo dhclient -r [01:37] <[Ex0r]> will it assign it a new ip address or just refresh the connection ? [01:37] That depends on your dhcp server [01:38] It'll re-request another [01:38] DHCP is handing them out [01:38] they're not both on DHCP if they're conflicting [01:38] how can I copy files to my sd card? I seem to need sudo permission but cannot find the directory to do it through the command line [01:38] in_deep_thought: is the SD card mounted? [01:39] <[Ex0r]> okay, cool [01:39] daftykins, no, how can I do that? don't i need to know where it is in the file system [01:39] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- They are both setup for dhcp, I checked in my router. There's a wireless device on my network using the IP that my non-wireless connection is trying to use === pete is now known as Guest3356 === thiago_ is now known as Guest19507 [01:39] <[Ex0r]> but i cant change the IP for that one, because it's a blu-ray player [01:40] [Ex0r]: that doesn't seem likely, as they should both query and be offered an address each [01:40] <[Ex0r]> unless the dhcp server had a hiccup and assigned two to the same [01:40] in_deep_thought: a disk isn't on the file system until it's mounted. open the terminal with ctrl+alt+T then type "sudo fdisk -l" and copy the output to paste.ubuntu.com to share with us [01:41] [Ex0r]: rebooting the devices would surely be enough to resolve that, or if the DHCP server is really that rubbish, perhaps you could enter the device MAC addresses and enact some static leases [01:41] http://bpaste.net/show/8qwNDBNNxXptdgJAUWH6/ [01:41] *or* statically address entirely [01:42] in_deep_thought: so you're running arch but in here asking for help eh. [01:42] tsk tsk [01:42] <[Ex0r]> daftykins i thinking just refreshing the server ip will fix it, it didnt do it until the last time the dhcp lease was renewed [01:42] <[Ex0r]> rather, forcefully renewed when we lost power [01:42] daftykins, lol is that bad? I thought mounting would be the same across distros [01:42] sure but technically you shouldn't ask for help in here when you don't even run ubuntu :P [01:43] <[Ex0r]> I AM running ubuntu [01:43] Fresh install of 12.04LTS on my HP ENVY 17 and using an HDMI cable to connect to a 32" television to act as second monitor.

Then, when the whole system refreshes, i am back to mirrored displays. help?! [01:43] <[Ex0r]> on my server box, which is why I asked how to refresh the IP [01:43] <[Ex0r]> just updated to 14.04 yesterday actually [01:43] [Ex0r]: that line wasn't at you, plus you'd know that if you paid more attention ;) [01:43] in_deep_thought: "sudo mkdir /mnt/sd" then "sudo mount -t exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd" [01:43] in_deep_thought: wait i got that wrong [01:44] in_deep_thought: change 'exfat' to 'vfat' [01:44] anyone have any advice for fixing my touchpad? [01:44] im helping my mom with ubuntu as we speak [01:44] she is the only mom i know of with ubuntu [01:44] even im on OS X [01:45] <[Ex0r]> i installed it on my moms computer for two days once [01:45] <[Ex0r]> when she pissed me off [01:45] [Ex0r]: that is both family unfriendly language and off topic [01:45] raspberrypifan: do you have a support question?

[01:46] no but i hang out here [01:46] i like to idle [01:46] with ubuntu [01:46] u know === UltimateNate is now known as U1timat3Tr0113r [01:47] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- Thanks for the command [01:47] raspberrypifan: this channel is not for off topic chat. [01:47] im on topic [01:47] were talking ubuntu [01:48] sigh, what really gets me is that you actually think you're being original [01:48] BlackDalek, do you see anything unusual in your startup apps? [01:48] Monitor issue? anyone? [01:49] ubuntu mean unity doesnt it [01:49] robin_: what graphics hardware? [01:49] kostkon, where do I find my startup apps in trusty tahr?

I'm ghte guy with the dual monitor issue. :( [01:50] daftykins, I get : mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1 is write-protected, mounting read-only . Is there a way to access it as a read and write? I want to copy files to it [01:51] robin_: what graphics hardware? [01:51] can anyone help me do these automated actions on startup correctly so i dont have to do them agian ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333991/ [01:52] in_deep_thought: try again with -o rw [01:53] is there a pretty version of skype for ubuntu [01:53] this one is so ugly [01:53] raspberrypifan: complain with skype [01:53] isnt there a pretty open source version that connects to skype [01:54] no [01:54] Anyone use nginx on ubuntu? [01:54] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- Do you get an acknowledgement when you run that sudo dhclient -r command ? It takes me back to prompt almost instantly and my IP address is the same [01:55] kostkon, I have 3 items in my startup apps - tangerine, indicator-internode and indicator-application-service (I have no idea what the last one is). [01:56] <[Ex0r]> in /etc/network/interfaces eth0 is listed as inet dhcp, so its getting its ip from the dhcp server, but it wont refresh the ip [01:56] Thete, yes? [01:56] [Ex0r]: i never gave you a command, i don't run that one at all so i can't tell you (: [01:56] <[Ex0r]> Oh nope you're right, it was Dorth [01:56] raspberrypifan, opensource and skype don't go well together; they change the protocol every release just to prevent exactly that [01:56] [Ex0r]: you're going to have to restart the DHCP server to cause it to pick another [01:57] BlackDalek, i would suggest this: disable internode from startup apps, remove any accs in online accs, check if you are already logged in ubuntu sso in software centre and then log out and log back in. [01:57] <[Ex0r]> grr, im in the middle of uploading a huge video :( [01:57] raspberrypifan, skype is run by MS now so i expect some new exciting changes every now and then [01:57] <[Ex0r]> stupid router and the inability to kick connections off the network :( [01:57] i doubt there gonna keep supporting skype on linux then [01:57] kostkon, I am not sure why tangerine is in there - it has not been installed since 2 or 3 ubuntu releases back. [01:57] [Ex0r]: i've honestly never seen two devices conflict with the same IP - your setup is screwy [01:57] !find tangerine [01:57] Found: tangerine, tangerine-dbg, tangerine-icon-theme [01:58] hey guys, i struggle getting this f***** up dhcp server isc-dhcp-server to run, i actually wanted to use dhcp3 but i don't know how to do all this, everyone starts small, but i want to install and configure a simple tftpd server. [01:58] !info tangerine [01:58] tangerine (source: tangerine): music server using DAAP. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.4-6 (trusty), package size 73 kB, installed size 361 kB [01:58] never when both set to DHCP, that is [01:58] veryhappy: follow a guide [01:58] <[Ex0r]> when I look at my connected devices, under my wireless section it shows 192.168.1.6 as a connected device, which is labeled as SAMSUNG (my blu-ray player). When I go into ifconfig on my server, the wired connection shows up using the same ip address [01:58] daftykins: what you think what i try to do? :D you're funny... [01:58] BlackDalek, interesting. tangerine could be the source of the popup yes [01:59] BlackDalek, disable that as well [01:59] daftykins: i have here /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf but i don't know if that belongs to the isc-dhcp-server [01:59] gry: Is there a command like with apache's a2ensite for nginx? [01:59] or do you just create symlinks? [01:59] veryhappy: well if you were following a guide you'd happily tell us what part is going wrong, right? right? [02:00] veryhappy: sounds about right [02:00] daftykins: everything started with following a guide that told me what to install, that was very nice, and after that the problems came, because the file that had to be in the one directory is now in another directory, because the developers can't decide where to put the conf file, how it seems... [02:01] veryhappy: that doesn't sound like a very big problem. [02:01] ok, well... i'm gonna start new. [02:02] my netbook is having this DHCP......... line and after that it always tells me that it didn't receive a boot file, E53 afaik. [02:03] veryhappy: you need to do more than just get DHCP going. [02:03] i know [02:03] if you know, why are you saying the above? :) [02:04] because i'm not sure in every part, don't you want to understand, i'm not 100% new to configuration just 70% [02:04] <[Ex0r]> hmm I think my ubuntu install is messed up :( [02:04] <[Ex0r]> I cant even reboot it from cli [02:04] is my router already giving my netbook automatically an ip address? my router is assigning already dhcp addresses would other dhcp server not disturb then? [02:05] i have a few servers with sda1 (/boot) and / on a separate lvm sda1. hitting initramfs after an lvmresize. any thoughts on how to recover? [02:05] veryhappy: they would compete yes [02:05] [Ex0r]: running what... [02:05] s/sda1/sda2 for the rootfs [02:05] then i would have to tell my router which server has the tftp config? [02:05] <[Ex0r]> daftykins ive done reboot and shutdown [02:05] <[Ex0r]> it fails [02:07] 'sudo shutdown -r 0' ? [02:07] <[Ex0r]> yes [02:07] <[Ex0r]> it fails and stops [02:09] <[Ex0r]> at waiting for all remaining processes to terminate [02:10] ignore #ubuntu join part quit [02:10] sorry; missed the / [02:10] daftykins: couldn't i just tell the client to get the ip address by the router and get the pxelinux.0 by another computer/server? [02:11] <[Ex0r]> Grr, this thing will not let go of this IP address, I even forced my router to assign it a static one based on it's mac address [02:13] veryhappy: it doesn't sound like you've looked into this topic much as you'd know the answer to that [02:15] Hi I want to install the designer application for qt5.

[03:24] *through [03:24] thats great! [03:24] sounds like a great ratio of unsupported games you are able to make work [03:25] me? [03:25] xyzaffa1r: correct.. i was responding to you [03:25] holstein, One out of 3 [03:25] .... [03:25] What a wonderful ratio [03:25] xyzaffa1r: ? [03:26] holstein, Only one of my games works correctly [03:26] xyzaffa1r: considering you were promised that zero would work in linux, i say its pretty good [03:26] holstein, just... [03:26] holstein, I just need help. [03:27] xyzaffa1r: you can try referring to the wineHQ documentation on that particular game [03:27] No help there [03:27] you can try the wine supprot channels [03:27] but, it may be that they dont work [03:27] No help there either [03:27] they are not linux games [03:27] holstein, Castle crashers should run fine under wine [03:28] Rated gold, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28622 [03:28] xyzaffa1r: unless the developers state that it has either native linux support, or something in wine, then, it may not work [03:28] xyzaffa1r: you can read and see what is needed to make it "gold" there [03:29] What does not [03:29] Xbox 360 controller with standard and override xinput (see information below how to make it work) [03:29] xyzaffa1r: i realize it can be frustrating, but nothing in linux or ubuntu is preventing that game from working for you [03:30] What works [03:30] - Audio [03:30] holstein, so you think its the game itself? [03:30] xyzaffa1r: your using 14.04 right? [03:30] xyzaffa1r: i *know* its the game.. its not for linux [03:31] kodapa85, correct [03:31] xyzaffa1r: using wine is always a bit of a hack, and a compromise.. can be frustrating, though, they do great work [03:31] holstein, I understand that, but I dont know what to do to get it to work, I came here for that. [03:32] xyzaffa1r: sure, but it may *never* work. since its not intended to, and the "best" way to make it work is for the creators to create it for linux [03:32] xyzaffa1r: otherwise, you should try camping out in the wine channel. or try a wine mailing list [03:33] it has only been out 8 days. Native Steam doesn't even support 13.10, let alone 14.04. It takes time for things to be ironed out [03:33] holstein, Ok great, thanks ill go tell them, to port it and Im sure they just will. Now no offense, but if you cant help me, please stop. [03:33] xyzaffa1r: sure.. i have no intention of being comabative with you, friend.. but, that game is not a linux game.. so we cant support it [03:34] xyzaffa1r: you might try asking #winehq [03:34] xyzaffa1r: you'll do better off in a wine specific support area [03:34] Experiencing something quite odd. None of my multimedia playback apps are opening, all of a sudden. Any ideas? [03:35] IdleOne, I know that, no one is answering itm I have been there a while. [03:35] xyzaffa1r: you may want to look into the mailing list, or just be more patient there.. sometimes you need to wait 24 hours or more in channels like that [03:35] xyzaffa1r: sometimes it takes a while, remember it is friday night. [03:37] Fixed it! I changed it to windows vista, on the winehq they specificly said sound wont work unless your on windows xp mode, but what ever [03:37] Thank you, IdleOne, holstein, kodapa85 [03:37] xyzaffa1r: you should add that to the winehq entry you're looking at :) [03:37] sorry I just got back from dinner and was reading backscroll [03:37] I was just about to suggest that :P [03:38] wllwh, ok, Ill try and find that entry again, Cant remember where it was on there) [03:38] Bye [03:38] xyzaffa1r: browser history ftw [03:38] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28622 [03:38] willwh, That was at least one operating system ago :) [03:38] xyzaffa1r: There are so many driver/hardware combinations. I've just had to role back from fglrx-update to the open source drive within 14.04 due to stability issues. Im sure if I used the latest propriety drivers it would work fine. Great to hear you have it working! Was Vista the default, find it strange >_< [03:38] wllwh, I switch linux distros constantly [03:39] kodapa85, No default was xp [03:39] I changed it to vista [03:39] Bye! [03:39] Cya! [03:44] I need help [03:44] Dont we all... not always with Linux ^_^ [03:44] Lol true that [03:44] I deleted my network manager and another package by accident [03:45] module000: thanks for the response. So that means it's a dhcpd thing. Unfortunately my crac [03:45] I'm running ubuntu 14.04 [03:45] i have found a freenx-server package for ubuntu 14.04, but it depends on nxagent which i cannot seem to find available.. does this mean no NX server capability in 14.04? [03:45] module000: ... crappy router, that doesn't allow that kind of configuration [03:46] i have a server running ubuntu w/ 4 attached drives for media... is there any pro to using ext4 as a drive format over NTFS? or does it not really matter? [03:46] Still kind of new with Linux [03:46] Means I can't connect to internet even plugged in [03:46] I'm I my phone [03:46] Lol [03:47] Ccslover_: is wireless your only option? I'd have thought a LAN connection would still auto configure [03:47] I connected for lan it didn't do anything, [03:48] If you mount a partition with fstab where is it mounted? [03:48] Ccslover_: this sounds suspicious.. please try and list all you have done that leads up to your system breakage [03:48] tried ifconfig to see what it was doing? [03:49] thats deprecated [03:49] Is there any way to force a shell into displaying UTF8 characters? I have some centos boxes that display Japanese characters fine; but when I attempt to display them on my Ubuntu (11.04) box, I cant get them to display [03:50] I was looking up why I have to suspend my session to connect wirelessly. Then I went to synapsys and installed something I should nt have apparently, [03:50] Ccslover_: synaptic? [03:51] Ccslover_: did you add packages then? or remove them? [03:51] Ccslover_: what did you add or remove? [03:51] My wireless shut off and my icon disappeared A's hold on I'll tell you [03:51] Doh, /mnt [03:51] In I my phone so it's really slow [03:51] Ccslover_: What does your /etc/network/interfaces contain? [03:52] whats a good (gnome) tool for recording mouse movements and clicks and keypresses, and playing them back as a macro? [03:52] mukti, UTF-8 should be default take a look in "cat /etc/default/locale" and "cat /etc/default/console-setup" [03:53] Ccslover_: whats the output of ifconfig, like kodapa85 suggested? [03:53] mukti, what's the output of "set|grep -i LC" [03:53] ? [03:53] Nothing in my network interfaces [03:54] Oops wait [03:54] Yelu: this is the output of the last command you sent: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/11311328/raw/75b580ce7a654a5d0c7fe3fb036de6a05c3f5890/gistfile1.txt [03:55] Yelu: It looks like I don't have the locale or console-setup files you mentioned though [03:56] It says #interface(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo I face lo inet loop back [03:56] Sorry again I'm in my phone, I'm a slow typer [03:56] That's what you asked me to look for correct? [03:56] Ccslover_: ifconfig in the terminal [03:57] Ccslover_: Surely there is more than just that within /etc/network/interfaces. lines beginning with # are disregarded [03:58] I did ifconfig [03:58] I'll type it takes me a minute [03:58] Ccslover_: you need not type it [03:58] I'm a Mint convert. I like the layout and config. There are a few settings I'm not so happy with. I don't like the "whisper" menue. am I the only one? [03:59] Ok what should I do [03:59] Ccslover_: just look and see what the output is. see if you get in IP address.. try pinging the gateway [03:59] !networking [03:59] I net address === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:00] And I typed !networking and event not found [04:00] Ccslover_: if it were my hardware, id try it with a live CD, or a known supported operating system, to make sure the hardware is functioning [04:01] Ccslover_: id try replugging the connection, id try rebooting and looking in the bios.. [04:01] Ccslover_: id say *exactly* what packages were added or removed [04:01] mukti, my bad. - You got this problem on your CentOS boxes while ssh'ing into them, right? [04:01] I don't have a live cd, I installed vok just a moment [04:01] Typo [04:02] Ignore that [04:02] Just a moment [04:02] Ccslover_: have you checked the history within Ubuntu Software Centre? Might help you reinstall/remove affected packages [04:02] Yelu: no, I was just using my CentOS boxes as a comparison. I can type/view Japanese characters on them; but I cannot do that on my Ubuntu boxes (which are as low as 11.04 or as high as 12.04) [04:02] I might just backup what I need from the boxes and rebuild them [04:03] I removed network-manager and network-manager-gnome [04:04] that's brave [04:04] Ccslover_: so, you removed those? and didnt add anything? [04:05] Ccslover_: anyways, just add back whatever you removed [04:05] Well they were removed when I clicked apply by accident. I selected connman reading about it [04:05] It won't [04:05] And I removed connman [04:05] Ccslover_: not it, you reinstall what you removed [04:06] Ccslover_: add back whatever you removed when you broke the system [04:07] An error has occurred [04:07] That's what I get. It says [04:07] Ccslover_: ok.. you'l have to share that error, or work through it on your own [04:07] mukti, if you are in a shell on a 11.04 Ubuntu machine and would type "set | grep -i LC" - What gives? [04:08] Ccslover_: You've tried apt-get reinstall connman? [04:09] mukti, and the same procedure on your 12.04 machine ... ;) [04:09] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com ... Abby way the website then could not resolve host [04:09] Ccslover_: are you online? [04:10] Ccslover_: can you ping the gateway? are you getting an IP address? [04:10] What command do I need to run? [04:10] Ccslover_: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/how-to-manually-set-up-your-wired.html [04:10] Ccslover_: it depends, friend [04:11] I wish I could talk to someone it's easier lol [04:11] Ccslover_: you should get online.. however you need to do that.. and reinstall what you removed [04:11] Ccslover_: i *am* someone.. and we are talking [04:11] Ccslover_: the link above is "how to get online without network manager" [04:11] I agree completely, and I meant vocally [04:12] Ok thank you I will let you know how it goes [04:12] Ccslover_: i could make a list of what would be "easier" [04:12] hi [04:12] Add I said I'm on my phone so I'll have to tsb over [04:12] Thank thou all [04:12] I'll [04:12] You [04:12] ... I apologise. [04:13] Anyway, I'll be back [04:13] anyone know why flash works so horribly with my ati radeon card? chugs big time when streaming flash videos full screen. only thing that works is if i uninstall flash and use gnash instead of flash.. [04:15] Ccslover_: option 1. If you have a dvd of your current ubuntu version use it as source (Software center, Edit menu, Sources, mark dvd, insert it in your computer) and reinstall network manager & network manager gnome [04:15] 2. if you have a live USB you will have to start it, browse it's content and extract the .deb files [04:15] 3. go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ search and download the .deb files of the corresponding ubuntu release you are using === thebug_ is now known as Guest34148 [04:21] Hi question [04:22] I had to reinstall Ubuntu on a Macbook and now when I boot, I get refit which let's me choose what partition to boot from and I select Ubuntu and It boots to grub> [04:23] When reinstalling it, it said error on bootloader so I reinstalled Ubunti 13.10 without the bootloader [04:23] can anyone help? [04:24] !bootinfo | spearson [04:24] spearson: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems.

You can do this by clicking the power cog in the top right -> System Settings... -> Security & Privacy -> Search -> Change Include online search results to OFF. You should do this 3rd party websites will get everything you type in the Dash (even single letter increments) which including non-online searches like the names of your files and application you [04:29] want to run which shouldn't be sent to those search providers. Disable dash online search if you don't want your searches recorded forever by third parties. [04:30] spearson: Don't reboot. Run "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" . [04:30] ok [04:31] done and went to a new black screen with grub> at the top === AnthonyTonyStark is now known as Mxyzptlk === Mxyzptlk is now known as Mxyztplk [04:32] i installed ubuntu onto a hard drive with 2 partitions... a swap and an ext4... is there anyway at this point that i can create another partion on my main ext4 partition without harming the file system? [04:32] Hello everyone === gry is now known as gry_ === Mxyztplk is now known as Doomsday [04:33] spearson: "ls /boot/" and tell me if there is at least one vmlinuz-* file listed. [04:33] how do i enable a start menu type of launcher button that ubuntu used to have === gry_ is now known as gry [04:33] also, is it better to run linux off a USB drive instead of the install cd in live mode? how fast is a USB drive compared to the HDD in terms of fastness [04:34] @Jordan error: file /boot/" not found [04:34] So basically you guys should disable Dash online search.

[06:35] blasda, You have to install the app [06:35] Beldar - ok. what app? [06:36] blasda, What ever is in that ppa that you wanted, by the ppa's are not supported here. [06:36] Hi, I am using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 in my dell laptop. Every apps is working fine but suddenly xorg hangs in which mouse pointer gets disappear and also when I press alt + tab keys I can't see switcher but able to switch apps. To resolve this issue I need to lock my system by flapping down my laptop screen. [06:37] Beldar - i thought that ppa was an offical support for ubuntu.. and btw, that ppa doesn't seem to provide new software but only updates, It contain 3 packages, compiz, unity, and gnome-settings-daemon. I have them all (tried install anyway, but it says I have the newest). [06:37] blasda: PPA arent official. [06:37] and well if PPA aren't supported, what is ubuntu official respond about the hotkey switching issue? just a long bug with no fix for now? [06:38] Or else please guide me to right channel [06:38] blasda: Do you have a bug report for that? [06:38] hello [06:38] bekks - this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1218322 [06:38] Launchpad bug 1218322 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Saucy) "Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc." [High,Triaged] [06:39] blasda: Bug fixing is in progress, as you can see already :) [06:39] bekks - to be honest I am not too familiar with the bug tracking, so not 100% sure what I am seeing there :P I did see the first comment giving me a PPA as a temporary fix, which I thought was official .. :S [06:41] bekks - so to summarize, I just have to wait for the official fix, that PPA is not supported? [06:41] blasda: you can use PPA on your own risk. [06:41] bekks - I tried, it just doesn't do anything :P [06:43] well thanks anyway. one more question though, since i'm already here: [06:43] blasda: HOw did you "try"? [06:44] Every time I do switch my language (currently with other hotkeys, of course), the language indicator seems to take "a lot" (1 or 2 seconds) of time to realize the change, and show it. Anyone else experiencing it or is it something on my system? [06:44] bekks - well, what it says in the ppa/the bug. apt-add-repository, update, then upgrade. Upgrade didn't install anything thought, said there was nothing new. Tried logging out and in too (although I had no idea why I did that, didn't install anything). [06:46] blasda: Well, did you check package versions currently installed vs the versions provided by the PPA? [06:47] bekks - no, but let me check. minute ^^ [06:49] bekks - well versions seems to match. I guess I did update it before, and the fix just doesn't work for me :\ [06:50] blasda: If the versions match - the packages are installed. [06:50] bekks - yup. oh well :\ what about the language indicator btw, you're experiencing it too? [06:51] blasda: No, I am not using it, all my systems are set to english. [06:51] hello [06:52] bekks - oh well. thanks for helping btw, hopefully an official fix will come out :) thanks, and have a good day ^^ [07:01] hi [07:09] hi all. i'm trying to disable E_DEPRECATED errros from apache2 php, and /etc/php5/apache2/php.init already has error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT [07:09] but deprecated errors still show [07:09] mod: Did you restart Apache2?

[07:41] Indeed, the MySQL MRE is for mysql-server, not PHP modules.

[08:23] onca: was that meant for me? [08:23] kinda [08:23] hey all, got a question or 2 here that I can't seem to answer with a google... first off, I'm in an ext4 partitioned drive and there's a pdf i'm trying to download that the system is insisting has a file name that's "Too long" how can I fix this? [08:23] I think I resolved my problem already [08:24] [08:24] gartral "save as" and rename it. [08:24] second.. after installing with full disk encryption, how do I change that password? [08:24] cfhowlett: it's on an external drive [08:25] and I can't rename it because the system complains the orgin file's name i too long.. [08:25] gartral I've no experience with external drive issues [08:25] cryptsetup luksChangeKey devicehamehere [08:25] rww: that's easy enough! thanks! [08:25] not sure which device it wants, maybe be /dev/mapper/somethingorother [08:26] gartral never seen that error before. try rebooting to a live session and saving to the cloud [08:26] if you're using LVM, it's probably the LVM device [08:26] or email it to yourself [08:26] gartral, try to copy to a file with shorter name [08:26] (erm, ignore that last message) [08:27] Is Ubuntu gnome faster than Ubuntu unity ?? [08:27] it shouldn't be even. [08:28] I'm not able to lockscreen in lubuntu [08:28] the gnome wins [08:28] raptor I'd guess not - gnome and unity are both resource-hungry === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [08:29] So Ur saying its only a matter of choice since both of them are almost the same [08:30] raptor if speed is your need, consider lxde (lubuntu) or xfce (xubuntu). It's quite easy to install either/both and test for yourself. [08:30] Hey mint's cinnamon is quite good too [08:31] fa7ad ... though unsupported here. :) [08:31] Its not as resource hungry but looks good too [08:31] fa7ad, I agree absolutely [08:31] But we could always install cinnamon de on ubuntu [08:31] :) [08:31] Dont need mint for that [08:32] gartral, you are okay with your long file name? [08:33] I Kinda like the notifications in gnome :3 === JoshG_ is now known as JoshG [08:33] Yelu: not yet, there's a few files that need moved manually, I'm restoring a backup of /home from before a wipe.. [08:34] gartral, ok [08:34] gartral now that I consider, I HAVE encountered a similar file access issue but that was due to language issues. Files from my chinese colleagues frequently have chinese characters and my system is 100% american english. I've renamed those files and suddenly; access granted. [08:35] Yelu: working on my mother's netbook that started on Ubuntu 10.04 and has been going through OS ugrades since, I've just wiped and reinstalled [08:35] and she has a LOT of crap [08:36] gartral, I know, man ... I know (got a mother, too) ;.) [08:38] Hello === administrator is now known as Guest42837 [08:41] cfhowlett, this file renaming issue of yours is interesting - have you some technical background information how this works (renaming => gain access)? [08:42] Yelu tech background? no. I just know it usually works. I can Download and save any .pdf, but trying to open it causes both reader and evince to choke. renaming solves that. Side note: I can SEE the file with my file browser. [08:42] i wish cp gave an indication of how far along it is.. i want a beer [08:45] iptables question --> How should I interpret the line 70 in http://pastebin.com/mFqhF1kT ? ("-A DOCKER ! -i docker0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.0.2:8080" in *nat) With it, external host cannot access port 8080 for some reason, but after removing this entry from iptables, it works as expected.. [08:45] cfhowlett, and the file permissions did change while renaming (because you wrote "access granted") - Maybe I misunderstood the term and you just meant "could open the file"? [08:46] Yelu yes. sorry for using confusing terminology. [08:46] Yelu as in "now I can open the file!" [08:46] phuh_: i'm not sure how to *fix* that, but it looks like your passing the request to the server and then denying a reply [08:46] cfhowlett, no, my bad - I'm not a native speaker (english) [08:47] Yelu putonghua?? [08:48] cfhowlett, not quite (german) [08:48] Yelu doh! ok then. [08:49] cfhowlett, lol [08:50] * gartral bangs head into wall waiting [08:51] gartral beer is a better solution than headbanging ... just sayin. [08:52] gartral, don't copy drunk ... [08:54] The automatic system updater crashed so naturally I ran 'sudo dpkg --configure -a --resume' and it crashed at making an initrd - here's the out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/7335767/ please halp [08:54] will my system never reboot? [08:55] yawns === whiskers75 is now known as ^w [08:57] onca I'd try killing the apt-lock and running update & dist-upgrade === ^w is now known as wproject [08:59] cfhowlett: that updated nothing [08:59] worth a try though [08:59] onca not even dist-upgrade? [08:59] nope [08:59] * cfhowlett swings and misses === wproject is now known as whiskers75 [09:00] I'm afraid it will never boot again [09:01] onca should be able to reboot to an older kernel if nothing else [09:01] good to know [09:01] thank ye.. [09:03] * Yelu tries the /ME command [09:04] Yelu: ok, fixed the files.. just turncated the names a bit [09:05] gartral, case closed, congrats :) [09:06] now, perhaps someone can answer me this.. why is it that with this machine, the internal speakers SUCKED in ubuntu 10.04-12.10 and in 13.10 they sound amazing? [09:07] gartral gremlins. linux powered gremlins. [09:07] cfhowlett, that's it! === satan is now known as sa`tan [09:09] Yelu: so, here's a brain twister, my mom wanted her netbook to be "More secure" so I reinstalled with not only full disk encryption but also home partition encryption, now she's complaining that she doesn't like havinig a password to boot her comp x.x [09:09] is there any winning this?! lol [09:09] * Yelu getting headaches with thinking ... [09:10] Yelu: 8 beers into the night and I'm still confused [09:12] Hi [09:12] hello [09:12] please state the nature of the ubuntu emergency [09:13] cfhowlett: but don't gremlins usually *BREAK* things? as in magways? [09:13] gartral, 8 beers is clarity - but seriously, to be honest, a door is either open or not - so havong a password is always a good idea to unlock encrypted partitions or home folders, isn't it? [09:14] gartral certified *buntu gremlins are housebroken and well behaved - unless there's a kernel upgrade. then they CAN get rambunctious. threats to downgrade usually correct this tendency. [09:15] GNU/Linux (and especially ubuntu) is selfhealing its damaged kernels with Nanitoids ... [09:15] Htey are built in. [09:15] ^They [09:16] The Gremlins only control the Nanitoids. [09:17] cfhowlett: actually, that's exactly WHY i went through this headache, her computer had lost all sound, after a kernel upgrade.. and I tryied regressing to an older kernel, no go, so here we are [09:17] gartral you said older netbook? I bet it find a meal of lubuntu or xubuntu more palatable. [09:18] cfhowlett: nah, it seems too like Unity just fine, and she likes it *shudder* [09:18] cfhowlett: so I'll leave it as is [09:18] gartral you're a good son. give moms what she wants. [09:19] &server irc.darksin.net [09:19] luca stop that [09:20] cfhowlett: heh, I reserected a 14 year old Dell GX150 with Arch because *buntu kernels don't boot on it, that system is currently servicing as a word prcessor and music server [09:20] gartral color me impressed! [09:20] (yes, I'm mantaining2 distributions for her) [09:22] how dp you open a file manager as root? [09:23] cer why would you want to do that? [09:23] because it is a farily complicated machine, but my wife prefers to use GUI instead of command line [09:23] cfhowlett: [09:24] cer depends on the file type. for editing a text: sudo gedit (or your favorite editor) filename [09:24] sudo nautilus [09:24] stemid nope. gksudo nautilus [09:24] stemid: NEVER sudo nautilus [09:25] !root|cer [09:25] cer: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:26] gartral: why not? === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [09:27] cer, out of pure curiosity - what is your wife doing that needs root access on that machine? === fl_0|afk is now known as fl_0 [09:31] Hi, has anyone run 14.04 on a dell xps13 - its the developer Ed which ships with 12.04 [09:31] td0s there's a whole thread on the dell channels with this topic [09:32] #dell?

[09:36] td0s barton was/is the sputnik program lead [09:37] Yelu: move files across from a root directory to a user directory [09:38] Ah, I see, I'm wary about diving in as its my work laptop [09:39] td0s comes with 12.04 - has 5 years support. keep it. at least until the first point-release = 14.04.1 [09:40] cer, ah, I see. [09:40] cfhowlett probably good advice. But I have version envy. :) [09:40] Yelu: I was wrong though, I should have posted onto kubuntu, because that is the flavour we are currently usng [09:41] td0s many a system has crashed due to user envy. As Walter White would say "Perhaps your wisest course of action would be to tread lightly". [09:42] cer, ypur wife's problem is the same on all flavours of *ubuntu, don't worry ;-) [09:44] I was going to go for dual boot to start then migrate if there were no issues cfhowlett [09:45] td0s huh. OR virtualbox until a bit of stability comes with the point release. [09:45] td0s after all, 14.04.1 is in July so really = 3 months. [09:45] hi all [09:46] cfhowlett not that long to wait I guess, 12.04 is solid as a rock. Absolutely no issues so far [09:46] td0s I have questions. OK to pm? [09:47] Yeah sure [09:47] td0s, then keep as is and use virtualbox for the fun part [09:47] Hi blaster05 [09:48] does anyone have experience writing a custom usb driver? [09:49] anyone familliar with xorg.conf or xrandr in the context of fglrx [09:50] vmusr: you probably need modelines [09:50] td0s: nope, it's whole diffrent problem - i have 2 gpus and 5 monitors [09:50] but can't get them to run properly [09:51] vmusr: good luck! [09:51] Out of my depth I think mate.. [09:51] Yelu: yes .... :) .... we would love to try Unity .... as soon as a larger disk arrives, I will give it a go as well. [09:51] gartral: yea, so far it has been a cruel experience [09:52] god, please kill X at last and let us have something usable [09:52] vmusr: your best bet, if you can get them, are going to be DVI-dual link cables [09:53] vmusr, I think all monitor config happens in xrandr, not xorg.conf these days [09:54] is there a program equivalent to AIDA64 for linux? [09:54] gartral: i can buy the cables, but this won't help out with the second gpu [09:54] or is there some way i can check my hardware on linux [09:54] td0s: most, however I can't get xrandr to control the second gpu, the first is fine [09:55] What cards are they? [09:56] td0s: 5770 and 5450 [09:56] Running nvidia driver? [09:57] thomson28, you surely tried this already - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=AIDA64+for+linux [09:57] i got the 5450 recently, since fglrx doesn't support anything below hd5000 series, and the radeon driver always crashes X (before that I used the onboard 4250 with the 5770) [09:58] please is it advisable to learn c first b4 learning how to tinker with ubuntu??? [09:58] babyswizz: to be honest, if you're asking that question, your not in a position to do either [09:59] Yelu, no, but thanks :-) [09:59] babyswizz: ubuntu is made up of many components with many languages [09:59] babyswizz: so your definition of "tinker" will define your pre-requisits [09:59] babyswizz I "tinker" all the time and know NO programming languages. [10:00] Uhhhhh [10:00] How do I upgrade -one- package and it's dependencies? [10:00] babyswizz, ikonia is a seriuos man, but just start with ubuntu (learning by doing) [10:00] Also, how do I configure what starts with systemd? [10:01] nezZario: ubuntu doesn't use systemd [10:02] Any body here [10:02] buffalo_ sorry, only a few thousand here today. [10:02] buffalo_: welcome to #ubuntu <3 [10:03] any body konw combine images into pdf? [10:03] I'm actually looking to be a good ubuntu system administrator and I learnt the entire ubuntu system was based on C programming language and I don't know if to learn C first or just learn ubuntu [10:03] buffalo_ picture images? [10:03] then why do I have a systemd process running and conf files for systemd, and apt is trying to upgrade a pkg called systemd-services and systemd-shim ? [10:03] Yes [10:03] babyswizz: you're learning is wrong as it's not all based on C [10:03] I'm nto calling you wrong but it seems as if [10:03] combine some images to a pdf file [10:03] buffalo_ see the software center yet? Lots of options [10:03] babyswizz: administratorion has nothing to do with programming [10:04] babyswizz: to administrate the system you don't really need to know any programming languages [10:04] babyswizz: I suggest you do some more research into requirements [10:04] babyswizz: you should learn them side by side, that's like saying should you learn bass or treble piano first, kind of [10:04] babyswizz: and if you are looking into being a linux administrator, pick a better distro [10:04] vmusr: there is nothing wrong with ubuntu for learning system administration on [10:04] you don't really *need* to know C to be a sysadmin though [10:05] or sorry, you aren't *required*, you *need* to and you should ... C is sort of irrelevant [10:05] babyswizz for sysadmin learning, install ubuntu-server and learn the CLI fu! [10:05] ikonia: i was speaking from professional point of view [10:05] vmusr: so was I [10:05] ALSO [10:05] buffalo_ https://harikrish.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/ubuntu-linux-command-line-tool-to-convert-pdf-to-image-and-from-image-to-pdf/ [10:05] I have one more bone to pick [10:06] ikonia: then you know that most enterprise stuff is run on RHEL or SLES [10:06] babyswizz, then start the admin part with ubuntu and handle the C programming stuff "behind the scenes" (you want to be an admin not a kernel developer in the first place, yes?) [10:06] I have an ubuntu 13 box here, it's my gateway -- sometimes and very randomly it does not timeout on the boot screen [10:06] vmusr: I certainly do, I also certainly know of large orginisations using ubuntu and debian systems [10:06] So, ... I have to walk to the next room, unplug a keyboard from the box next to it, plug it in, press enter, and plug it back in [10:07] * cfhowlett remembers this EXACT conversation happening here 6 months ago - declines to participate in yet another theological debate. [10:07] Any idea why grub would just randomly decide to get 'stuck' on the menu like that? [10:07] How do I change the size of scrollsbars? (make them bigger)?

[13:45] minttu check the ISO of the ubuntu ISO you need to create a USB with [13:45] it's annoying just as a problem [13:46] guest-nzDTpV: boot live-usb/-cd, chroot into your installation, reset password [13:46] cfhowlett: yes the iso file is checked, and i got the md5sum from it [13:46] But there's no iso file on the USB stick.. [13:46] llutz THAT is the method! thanks. for some reason, not on the passwrod factoic [13:46] with the command line, UNIX-like OS, hackability-------i cant even get past my own password------annoying problem in itself? [13:46] what is chroot? [13:47] minttu nor did I direct you to the USB. Did you download the ISO? THAT is what you need to check. [13:47] guest-nzDTpV: stop that childish "hacker-blahbla" [13:47] I used ubootin burn the iso on the stuck [13:47] guest-nzDTpV yep. you don't even know chroot? and you're a pen=tester?

[13:47] just an interest [13:48] minttu dude. stay with me on this. Check - the - downloaded - ISO. [13:48] okay cfhowlett, they are the same [13:48] common......GnewSense MIT---Hacker creater of GNU/Linux----Childish? hacking i dont think so [13:48] the downloaded iso file and the hash from the site you linked, are the same!

[13:53] It is an ubuntu question because ubuntu forced unity on its users and was poorly coded. [13:54] Balls that's a ppa and you need to take it up with the PPA maintainers as it's not mainstream ubuntu [13:54] bwright: Its been fixed, so its not an issue unless a user dooesn't carry out security updates [13:54] Thank you cfhowlett [13:54] minttu if you have another USB, make another bootable and try again [13:54] Balls happy to help [13:55] cfhowlett, sorry but this is the only stick i have [13:56] minttu "got stuck" for how long?

[14:19] erm.... so I've got a dual monitor set up... and the sticky edge between screens is driving me crazy! [14:19] is there any way to make moving between screens a bit smoother? [14:20] tristanStrange: System settings, Screen display, sticky edges off [14:21] I have a 10.04 LTS server, and I'm trying to update *just* PHP to the latest PHP 5.5 version. So far all the instructions I can find want me to also upgrade apache from 2.2 to 2.4, which I don't want to do (mainly as there's config changes and that's out of the scope of what I want to do this weekend). Is there any way to just upgrade the PHP? === internet is now known as kaidkaikd [14:22] DJones... thanks but that's already set. [14:23] are there other options? [14:23] tristanStrange: Not that I'm aware of, when I use dual screen, thats the only setting I've changed to turn off the sticky edges, that lets me move from one screen to another without any delay [14:24] hmmm.... do you autohide your dash? [14:24] i do... [14:24] tristanStrange: no === Skinner1 is now known as cloudman === crondd- is now known as crond === Eyeball is now known as Guest3740 [14:33] Hello. I have a somehow programming-related question and I'm not completely sure if it fits int the "support" category. It's related to glibc and more precisely to the format used by the ld.so.cache file used in Ubuntu [XX - the version is not really an issue]. Thanks in advance. [14:34] Yn5an3 pose the details [14:34] There are 3 formats supported by glibc, and I'm trying to figure what format Ubuntu uses [14:34] Yn5an3: Which formats? [14:34] !info glibc > cfhowlett [14:35] The formats are defined in dl-cache.h in the sources of glibc [14:35] But they have a compatibility layer [14:35] Yn5an3: Just name them... [14:36] Well, let me have a look at it [14:36] ok disabling the auto-hide for unity fixes iy [14:36] One moment [14:36] ^it [14:36] but surely this is a bug? [14:36] tristanStrange: Do you have the unity bar on both screens? [14:36] any one with dual monitors also experiencing issues moving between screens when unity bar is set to autodide? [14:37] I'm 13.10 btw === administrator is now known as Guest30515 === UKn0Meh is now known as UKn0Me [14:37] Oops. 2 formats, sry. And they only refer to them as file_entry, and file_entry_new [14:38] I did a 13.10 to 14.04 upgrade on a VM with a btrfs root. do-release-upgrade used snapshots but did not clean them up. Anyone know the cleanup procedure? [14:39] There is a comment that elaborates on the compatibility and says: libc5 and "glibc 2.0/2.1 use the same format. For glibc 2.2 another format has been added in a compatible way" [14:39] tristanStrange: I'm on 14.04, screen display has an option to have the unity bar on all screens, or just on the left most screen. I suspect that if its on both screens, because its hidden, moving the mouse from one screen to another causes it to unhide, causing the delay, if you change it to only show on one screen, does that get rid of the delay [14:40] lvs not working on ubuntu [14:40] Senor: Works perfectly here.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [14:41] thanks [14:41] * cfhowlett wondered about the ROM for a moment [14:42] Ubuntu currently uses glibc-2.19, so I'm not really sure how should I handle the issue. I need the format in order to relolve SONAMES found in the .dynamic section of an elf marked with DT_NEEDED, that is to say, linker dependencies. [14:42] It's pretty surprising that there's no clear interface for that. [14:43] boom! DJones - that's got thinks working nicely! [14:43] tristanStrange: You're welccome, glad its sorted [14:43] somehow never spotted the option to diable the dash on a particular screen. Thanks! [14:44] I basically want something like ldd, but for a different putpose. So I was trying to figure ld.so.cache's format in Ubuntu. [14:44] Man, I sure explain things bad... [14:45] bekks:lvs ? [14:45] holstein:linux virtual server [14:45] every time I boot into my vm with ubuntu I see the message "System program problem detected". Where can I get details about this problem?

[14:46] Senor: What? [14:47] lvs doesnt route anything at all and has nothing to do with virtualization at all. [14:47] lvs is supposed to display logical volumes. [14:47] bekks: I mean linux virtual server cluster [14:47] Well, thanks anyways, bye. [14:47] Senor: lvs has nothing to do with clusters whatsoever. [14:48] god damn it. it still gets stuck occasionally [14:48] Senor: It just displays logical volumes. [14:48] this last version of ubuntu still uses X11? [14:48] Senor isn't talking about LVS as in display LV's in VG's comprised of PV's. He's asking about LVS in the context of virtual servers, which are all expliceitely designed for clustering services [14:48] the exertion i'm putting in to getting from screen to screen is going to result in this mouse flying somewhere soon, possibly the loss of an arm too..... [14:48] chro: Yes. [14:49] chro: yes :( [14:49] ko [14:49] Senor: they don't know what you're talking about, LVS isn't the type of "virtualization" these guys use. That's more of a i-make-$$$-with-linux not i-play-games-woohoo-ubuntu [14:49] module000: How do you know which type of virtualization I am using...? :P [14:50] module000: Or even which clustering solution I am using? [14:50] bekks: you had no idea what he was talking about, it's a safe assumption. [14:50] module000: Its a safe assumption that you havent heard of SFHA then, too. [14:51] bekks: i get paid to work on HA daemons - so your assumption is wrong. [14:51] bekks: i didn't realize people were deploying new LVS clusters though, pacemaker/coro have kind of taken over that field [14:51] pacemaker is a mess basically, compared with SFHA. [14:51] I'm seeing amazon has returned to my ubuntu after upgrade [14:51] how can I uninstall it? [14:52] !lenses [14:52] and avoid sending my search strings to their servers [14:52] SFHA has no man pages, and still targets AIX with linux as "supported but not preferred". that said, i use it at work to manage netbackup geoclusters, it's still in widespread use [14:52] sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping [14:52] thanks [14:53] !lens > cfhowlett [14:53] module000: SFHA has man pages. SFHA soes not target AIX, but AIX, Linux, Solaris, HPUX and makes no recommendations on what to use. [14:53] *does [14:53] it's unity-scope-home ? [14:53] chro: No. === vmmusr is now known as vmusr === KavanSx is now known as KavanS [14:56] how do I disable this then?

[15:21] hello is anyone here? [15:21] Bladewolf: just ask.. and be patient.. we are volunteers, and need details.. ubuntu is not "locking" for everyone by default [15:21] holstein: It locks whenever I leave it inactive for around 10-20mins [15:21] Bladewolf: try disabling the screen locking if you prefer it not locking [15:21] On Windows I can turn this off, but can't find the option in Ubuntu [15:22] ok i understand the problem [15:22] hey is anybody here has an idea on how to install GNOME 2.30.2 On 14.04 LTS? if yes can i ask how? [15:22] Bladewolf, it's under System Settings -> Brightness & Lock [15:22] And the reason I want to turn this off is because this is a VM with 1gb RAM attached [15:22] i dont like the fallback [15:22] Meaning if I let it lock, I have to restart it to unlock it [15:23] Bladewolf: you need not a reason.. just try disable [15:23] Thanks guys [15:24] t4ng0, you may be interested in the MATE project, which forked Gnome 2: http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/replace_unity_by_mate [15:24] I used the command "sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" but the command does not exist... [15:24] Sorry if I seem stupid, but I have only been using ubuntu for 2 weeks. [15:24] robotninja: why MATE ? [15:25] t4ng0, because the old Gnome2 codebase is no longer maintained IIRC [15:25] IIRC ? [15:25] yhea IIRC? What is that? [15:25] Guest999999: did you install ppa-purge?

[15:46] Ubuntu does have root user. That statement is untrue [15:46] on ubuntu 14.04, if I install postgresql (server, 9.3), should a 'main' cluster be created automatically [15:46] ? [15:47] Guest999999: you might want to deal with the other error there about the duplicate sources.. but, the wine ppa is purged, it seems [15:47] All linux systems have a root user, just ubuntu by default is locked account [15:47] nightdemon666: cool.. i'll let you take it from here. but, that is likely not "stock" ubuntu, if there is a root user, as i have seen, on vendor provided ubuntu systems [15:48] holstein, on all the ubuntu server I installed, from source and from vendor, I always start with a root password and an ip [15:48] Now what should I do? I just want to run a windows program. [15:48] By default the user you installed as has sudo privilages. If you sudo passwd root, you set the password for root user, and it unlocks the account [15:48] Guest999999: running a windows program is not trivial, or easy, or guaranteed in linux [15:49] Guest999999: i suggest using native ubuntu for a while, and get used to it, then, go from there.. you can check wineHQ for specifics about running the particular windows application you are trying to run [15:50] Yeah! Screw windows programs! You dont need them. There are alternatives to ;-) [15:50] Lol [15:50] here is not the question :( . when I install a server and configure for my need, I always use root password. At the end I use ssh connection === a_ is now known as Guest57751 [15:50] #channel list [15:51] kikimeter: sure.. but if its not stock ubuntu, you need to ask the vendor for support.. and take the security issues with the root account being "opened" at install up with them [15:51] The program in question is just an indie game, so there would be no specifics... :| [15:51] holstein, the vendor is not involve in here [15:52] Best way to run windows programs is NOT wineHQ, if you can avoid it. IMO, running windows in a VM is a better route for running windows programs that you just cant run alternatives to in a linux based system. [15:52] Guest999999: well, the specifics would be, how to run code that is not intended to run on linux === JAC is now known as Guest70479 [15:52] kikimeter: they are if they are providing a specificly tailored version of ubuntu that is not stock ubuntu [15:52] no [15:52] kikimeter: in that case, its not ubuntu that you are using.. its their ubuntu [15:52] stop [15:52] this is a normal version of ubuntu server [15:52] kikimeter: sure.. i dont mean to be combative.. only accurate [15:53] when I download ubuntu and install on my personal server [15:53] I have always a root password [15:53] kikimeter: you have a sudo password [15:53] i need help with freetuxtv i can't get any channels to load and i believe the problem is that my version of libvlc is too new...how do i downgrade it?

[15:57] that is not my question, my question is how to understand how a hacker change my root password [15:57] basketball: purge, reinstall.. reconnect.. double check credentials.. ask dropbox [15:57] hey boys [15:57] and how to understand what he did on the server with root access [15:58] It’s just for learning purpose [15:58] kikimeter: could be lots of things. Maybe your password was easy to guess [15:58] my server will be reinstalled juste after [15:58] my password was: password [15:58] sure it was easy [15:58] kikimeter: yea, thats how he got in [15:58] kikimeter: they would need to have the username and sudo password for that user, then they can do whatever they wanted.... [15:58] I'd bet money on it [15:58] I was just learning how to manage postfix on a sandbox server [15:59] I check /var/log/auth.log [15:59] POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!

[15:59] ok, i personally refuse to help anyone who uses "password" as their password and then wants to know how they got hacked [15:59] it’s a sandbox server [15:59] to understand how postfix works [15:59] kikimeter: if you are tring to guess how someone guessed your password when its password.. thats how [15:59] stop saying that my server is breakable === chu is now known as Guest16597 [16:00] kikimeter: if you used "password" as your password and can't figure out how someone got in, then we can't help you [16:00] kikimeter: doesnt matter what it is.. dont use password as a password [16:00] It’s for a learning purpose === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo [16:00] kikimeter: change your password to something with capital letters and numbers as well as lowercase letters [16:00] kikimeter: then learn... *dont* use password as a password === chu_ is now known as Guest60000 [16:00] I don’t use password for my real server [16:01] dont enable the root user.. [16:01] kikimeter: what is your question? [16:01] anyways, i need to know how to downgrade my version of libvlc [16:01] try to do some log analysis to understand what the hascker did [16:01] anyone have any clues? [16:01] kikimeter, if you're asking how the hacker got in, I think you already know the answer. If you're trying to figure out what exactly he or she did to your sever once they got in, I think that's probably beyond the remit of this channel. [16:02] bluefox83: you can try in synaptic.. i find its easy in that gui to step back through older repo versions of packages.. but, you can break something else that is depending on that newer version [16:02] bluefox83: what version do you want to downgrade it to, and what release are you on? [16:02] kikimeter: try a security channel [16:02] thak you robotninja [16:03] thank you guys [16:03] I will try a security channel [16:03] tgm4883: i'm on whatever is most up to date in 14.04 [16:03] I recently upgraded to 14.04 and it seems some logging changed. I used to have a syslog and auth related logs in /var/logs , but no more. rsyslogd is running. [16:04] i need to try older versions until i find one that works [16:04] any thoughts? [16:05] bluefox83: you will have trouble then, you'll probably need to download and compile older versions [16:05] Hi, python's locale date representation just outputted a format that i'd associate with the US, not the UK - how can i check my pc's location setting that python picks up [16:05] !locale [16:05] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ [16:06] bluefox83: you can install older versions via apt if the older version is in the repos, but since trusty just released I doubt there are many (if any) older versions [16:06] IdleOne: thanks [16:06] IdleOne: i definitely did this but recently updated to 14.04, could it be lost them? [16:06] then* [16:06] adamcunnington: anything is possible [16:06] tgm4883: i'm wondering why tuxfreetv is in the repo then if the vlc or libvlc version in the repo wont work with it... [16:06] latr all [16:07] since it requires vlc to work [16:07] bluefox83: are you getting error messages? [16:07] IdleOne: i just typed locale and everything it outputted was GB specific [16:07] !info libvlc [16:07] Package libvlc does not exist in trusty [16:07] yeah, let me fire it up and show you [16:07] IdleOne: could python be reading something incorrectly? or i guess it's concept of locale format might not be correct [16:07] 1info libvlc5 [16:07] oops [16:08] !info libvlc5 [16:08] libvlc5 (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer library.

But lets see the error message [16:09] An error occurred while playing channel 'Amazing Facts TV' : http://bglive-w.bitgravity.com/amazingfacts/live/feed01 [16:09] and then gives a link to report it...problem is i get the same error for every channel [16:10] some googling shows that it's the version of libvlc [16:10] but i can't find a version number that works for sure [16:11] Dear ubuntu community, I am fresh in linux and have following questions: 1. does it exist a sort of a dictionary that translate windows language into linux language? 2. is there a dictionary explaining commands for the terminal 3. are there sites suggesting different ways of setting up different neat working enviroments and 4. how much wood does a woodchucker chuck if a woodchucker would chuck wood?

I am following this page: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHP-FPM, and it says to load modules/mod_proxy.so and more [17:44] argggh! an upgrade [17:44] * monty_hall cringes [17:45] However, there is only a mods-enabled/availble directory, each containing .load files rather than .so files. Are those the ones I should load instead? [17:45] riverloop: do you mean menu up on the screen and one on the window? [17:45] I'd also more or less assume that symlinking something in the mods-enabled directory makes it unnecessary to load them [17:45] I've installed linux-source, linux-headers, and nvidia-current, but the nvidia kernel module isn't getting loaded; what should I be doing to see what went wrong?

It's primary function is to provide... windows. The desktop environment encapsulates this and provides the rest of the graphical experience.

You'd have to try for yourself to see which one you like better; it's a subjective experience. [17:49] xWolfz: X is a layer running on top of the kerenl, Desk top manager is what desktop you have ( say xfce4, unity, LXDE ) .. and the windows manager is what determins the desk top ya want to start. [17:49] /quit [17:49] ahh [17:49] Thanks guys. [17:49] Bashing-om: The latter... is that so? [17:50] Isn't the window manager the piece that extends and completes the X Window System? [17:51] monty_hall: might be able to add a debdiff to that bug report and maybe get an SRU to saucy, the change is very minor, deletes two lines and adds one...but saucy is out of support in a couple months so I don't know how helpful it would be [17:51] here's another one http://paste.ubuntu.com/7339207/ [17:52] ThePendulum: Yeah, so far as I know, with a gui desk tops installed, must have a means to determine which to start, also that is the GUI login part of it.

I had XChat, steam, Chrome, Google play music manager and Rhythmbox running. I was encrypting my external hard drive using the diska application to the LUKS format. I had instructed it to zero out the drive. I was playing the game FTL via steam when my mouse suddenly borked out. unplugging and replugging it didn't work. Then there was a freeze for a couple of seconds before recovery and I exited the game using the touchp [19:24] ad. THen I noticed that the format of the external hard drive failed and my usb flash drive wasn't working. WOndering if the USBs just broke I rebooted the computer. It didn't boot till I unplugged the external hard drive that I was trying to format but it seems fine now. But I want to figure out what went wrong. Where do I start? Where are the logs? [19:24] is /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog where i put syslog filter rules [19:25] Questiom: I have a Toshiba Satellite Mod# L775D-S7112 had no problems yesterday after installing Ubuntu 14.04LTS and this morning none either.

[19:26] Hello, I have a Problem with touchscreen on Unity, at Xubuntu Desktop it works fine. [19:27] starrats: Was the system in hibernate or suspend? Open or closed? [19:27] I'll take a look [19:28] Hey folks, i'm going to be upfront and say i've done something rather stupid, I was upgrading a laptop to 13.10 via command line. I reached the point when I was asked whether I wanted to to replace the default applications definition with the updated version. I chose to diff the file, and once i'd reached the end, in a moment of madness, I ctrl-c 'd to get out of the diff. So I have 2 questions: 1. I don't think I got [19:28] past the stage of unpacking files for install, but could someone with knowledge with the ordering of the upgrade script please confirm that this is the case? If it's not, just how badly have I screwed things up? 2. In order to run do-release-upgrade again, I need to release the lock left in place by aptitude, can someone tell me where abouts this lock is located? Thanks in advance [19:29] none of those choices jhutchins, I had shutit down while I was out on errands, came back and turned on the laptop went to my Ubuntu partition and the cursor was just frozen in the middle of the screen and it would not move and I wasn't able to login with my password [19:29] http://www.pasteall.org/51143 I thought it was a gimp related issue but it came up again after upgrading gimp (using ubuntu precise here) [19:30] laptop was closed and off [19:32] should i use proprietary drivers for nvidia or x.org [19:33] Deihmos_: they generally perform better than the open source ones if that's what you're after [19:37] hey guys, I just installed ubuntu for the first time.

I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [19:38] here* [19:39] robotdevil: I think that would depend on what was running under Java. [19:39] just curious any answers to my dilemma folks? [19:39] Heebie1: absolutely no app, by me at least [19:39] Hey guys, I created a data partition when I installed ubuntu but know its all mixed up with the mounting. can anyone help me [19:40] robotdevil: You must be running something that uses Java, which could be an applet on a website or something like that. [19:40] everything closed [19:40] chris__: I think we need more detail than that. [19:40] robotdevil: strace the java process and see what it's doing. [19:40] Okay, here's syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/7339909/ [19:41] Heebie1: already purged java from system [19:41] robotdevil: Is there still a java process running to test? [19:42] was just curious if anyone might know whats up since a quick search turned up nothing [19:42] no [19:42] Hello folks, I am having a problem mounting my NAS. I am receiving an error after running mount -a as root, "Unable to find suitable address. [19:42] ". Working this one all morning. [19:42] If you can't reproduce the issue, you're probably not going to get an answer, unfortunately. [19:42] Heebie1: ya I should have waited, thanks anyway [19:42] Heebie1: ok this is what my disk manager looks like http://postimg.org/image/g2iptnqjn/ [19:42] BlitzHere: that doesn't say much to me other than the OS thought it was disconnected; was the data on it preserved? [19:43] Kaelleb: pastebin your /etc/fstab file [19:43] Heebie1: but the data partition wont mount properly [19:43] please define "properly" ? [19:43] Here is the offending line: //georgetowne/rbf /media/rbf cifs uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/home/rbf/.credentials,iocharset=utf8,user,sec=ntlm 0 0 [19:44] And kernlog http://paste.ubuntu.com/7339936/ [19:44] Kaelleb: If you change the line to use the IP address, does it work? [19:44] Heebie1: I have a folder data in my / directory [19:44] OEP, the 16GB flash drive that was connected seems to have some errors [19:44] BlitzHere: looks like a dead hard disk. [19:44] It's in FAT32 format [19:44] it's the same thing. I have also done this without the remote credentials call. [19:45] whoever: just to followup about the gtk lib version conflict thing, it turned out to be an artifact of my distro (mint) improperly updating the version of gtk after forking it. I've worked around it by lying about the version to pkg-configure and put in a pull request to fix it properly. [19:45] Heebie1: but I cant copy anything in it [19:45] I'm running dosfsck [19:45] Checking the external hard disk now [19:45] Heebie1: and I dont know in the mountin options what to choose. under identify as [19:45] It's only a month old :P [19:45] chris__: If you can't copy anything in, that suggests you don't have permission/ownership. If you type mount, does it show up in the list of mounted filesystems? [19:46] The nas is up and I can hit it via the web. [19:46] BlitzHere: run a fsck, if you need to scrape data maybe use photorec or something, then just see if you can mkfs later when you got everything you need [19:46] BlitzHere: If it's flash, and it's been getting written to a lot, a month is easiliy enough to kill it. (usb pen drive things.) [19:47] Heebie1: no because I guess its not mounted yet [19:47] Kaelleb: The NAS might be up, but you might be having SMB name-resolution issues. If you change to the NAS's IP, and it suddenly works, then that's likely the problem. [19:47] It is the sam message if I use the IP. I can hit the NAS using the web using the same address. [19:47] Heebie1: when I go to the disk options to mount it, I can choose identify as /dev/sda/6 or LABEL=data [19:47] I installed flash and it works in firefox but not chrome [19:47] Heebie1: and a lot of other things. I dont know which one to choose [19:47] /dev/sda/6 shouldn't work. /dev/sda6 perhaps. [19:47] Thanks I will give it a try. [19:48] OEP: : I was in the process of formatting my 1 TB external hard drive to ext4+LUKS using the disks application. My USB flash drive was simply connected with no IO AFAIK [19:48] BlitzHere: and which drive died? [19:49] Heebie1: my home partition says for eg /dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 [19:50] That's disk SDA partition 5. disk SDA partition 6 would be /dev/sda6 [19:50] Heebie1: how can I choose mount on /data which I created in the ubuntu installation [19:50] Neither has any data I care about, but the USB flash drive has GRUB on it because mini.iso thought that was my hard drive :P [19:50] chris__ mount /dev/sda6 /data === UKn0Meh is now known as UKn0Me [19:50] SHould be fixable with boot-repair [19:50] Heebie1: can I type that in the terminal or how do I do that [19:51] : Neither drive seems to have died [19:51] chris__: In a terminal as the super-user (sudo if you're not root) [19:51] BlitzHere: You have an "offline device" there of some kind. That doesn't look good at all. [19:51] Heebie1: it says /dev/sda6 us mounted in /data mount failed [19:51] chris__: No reason for the failure? [19:52] I'm running dosfsck on the 16GB USB flash drive right now, and copying 280GB of data onto the external hard drive [19:52] I'l run fsck on the other one in a second [19:52] Heebie1: only the little warning in the file manager [19:53] chris__: Did you do this from the command-line, or from the GUI? (the command-line will probably give you richer output) [19:53] Heebie1: from the command line [19:53] Heebie1: If it helps, my mouse stopped working at that point too. And reconnecting it didn't help. But it works just fine on a reboot [19:53] Why is my logrotate rotating but not compressing with bzip? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340001/ [19:53] Heebie1: it didnt give any error in terminal [19:54] back from a re-start I did on purpose, it seemed to work okay but I'm still curious if you might know my problem? [19:54] That's 3 devices connected to 3 USB ports out of 4 [19:54] Heebie1: it just worked [19:54] Heebie1: but [19:54] Heebie1: when I went to the file manger it is listed but not mounted [19:54] Heebie1: maybe it helps when I describe what I did so far [19:55] Heebie1: during installation i created /home and /data and / [19:55] Hi! I am trying to use deja-dup to backup my local files to a LAN ftp server. Everything works perfectly with a URL like: ftp://user@server:port. But when I try to choose a path on the server like: "ftp://user@server:port/path", the backup fails directly after the server-password prompt. As Deja-Dup is based on Duplicity, I tried connecting with the same address using duplicity directly and it worked flawlessy... Anyone have an idea? [19:55] Heebie1: I was than trying to find /data in nautilus [19:56] Heebie1: I saw it under /data in the root directory [19:56] Sorry, that was rubbish. Why is this logrotate not compressing with bzip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340021/ [19:56] Heebie1: but I could not do anything with it [19:56] Heebie1: but I could not do anything with it [19:56] oh yeah, it's ubuntu 14.04 [19:56] Heebie1: thats why I went to the disk manager and tried to mount it in different ways [19:57] Heebie1: and I dont know how that works woth mount point and identify as [19:58] If the mountpoint is set to /data, that's where it should be. It sounds like you didn't give permissions for your regular user to access the /data directory once it was mounted. [19:58] I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [19:59] Heebie1: ok i now said mountpoint /data how to I unmount the thing that I did in the terminal earlier [20:00] chris__: umount /data [20:00] Heebie1: I typed in terminal unmount /data but it says command not found [20:01] not unmount, umount [20:01] umount [20:01] :) ok === fl_0|afk is now known as fl_0 [20:01] does ubuntu have a good twitter app [20:01] There's no such thing as a good twatter app. [20:02] Heebie1: ok that worked but it is still listed in nautilus [20:02] Heebie1: how to i mount this partition 6 now as /data === fl_0 is now known as fl_0|afk [20:03] Greetings... [20:03] I've got a problem.. [20:03] Is there any way to get a more verbose error output for deja-dup? [20:03] chris__: The directory will still be there in Nautilus, but there shouldn't be anything mounted on it. Mounting it in /data, would be mount /dev/sda6 /data === odroid is now known as Guest92412 [20:04] Heebie1: it again gives me that error in nautilus when I try to click on it [20:05] Heebie1: http://postimg.org/image/sqra4he8h/ [20:05] chris__: After that you have to change the ownership on /data, or change the permissions on /data, so that you can access it from your standard user account. (chmod 0777 /data is one way.. not a great way. chown : /data is better if you are the only person who will ever use it. What exactly is the error? [20:05] I just updated my system and looks like my kde was downgraded.. I really don't know what's happening... [20:05] darkseid: If the version of KDE that was on your system had serious flaws in it, they might have backed the distro off to an earlier version. [20:06] chris__: If you do a `cat /etc/mtab | grep data`, what do you see ? [20:07] Heebie1: /dev/sda6 /data ext4 rw 0 0 [20:07] reisio: Thank you again dude! Have an awesome weekend!!!!reisio; [20:07] Heebie1: i did the chmod thing before [20:07] Heebie1: I'm using the latest packages from kubuntu-backports. It suppose to go further... I lost many new packages installed later I had run 'autoremove" [20:07] chris__: and if you do `mount | grep data` [20:07] Heebie1: /dev/sda6 on /data type ext4 (rw) [20:08] darkseid: I wish I knew what to tell you there. [20:08] chris__: `ls -lhrt | grep data` [20:09] Heebie1: that doenst do anything [20:09] chris__: Sorry `ls -lhrt / | grep data` [20:09] has anyone ever used deja-dup or am I the only one trying? I just cant find proper help after what feels like hours of google... [20:09] Heebie1: drwxrwxrwx 6 chris chris 4.0K Apr 26 12:08 data [20:10] chris__: and your login that you're on for your GUI session is 'chris' ? [20:10] Heebie1: I just say that I can now access the /data folder in my root folder [20:10] Heebie1: yes its chris [20:10] hola q tal [20:10] Heebie1: i think it kind of works now === gabo is now known as Guest35525 [20:10] alguien que me pueda hablar de Suse Linux? [20:10] chris__: If you click on it in Nautilus, you get something now? [20:11] Heebie1: i still have the drive data in the list of devices which gives me the error though [20:11] SuSe Linux? =O Sacrilege in this channel! === Guest35525 is now known as Gabomza [20:11] alguien q use Suse Linux? === Stevethepirate is now known as NoxvilleZA [20:12] Heebie1: ok I think i will try to restart now and see if it still gives me a mounting error at startup [20:12] chris__: You probably don't have "user" in the mount options, but you don't need it. You should access the data from /data, and not via the device, because it's permanently mounted. If only you are going to use it, you might consider moving the mount point to /home/chris/data [20:12] hello, I have a usb device that is no longer recognized by my system since my update to 14.04, can anybody help? Connecting and deconnecting changes nothing in dmesg, nor in lsusb [20:13] Gabomza: Maybe try asking in #opensuse about suse linux [20:13] There any problem when upgrade instead make a clean installation? I'm running 13.10 [20:13] Heebie1: ok I'm not sure what is the best way for me. My initial idea was to create a partition for my data that can be uneffected from distro switches. [20:14] Heebie1: its just very new for me how these drives are all listed and mounted in linux [20:14] chris__, it is always a good idea to have a separate partition for /home [20:14] darkseid: You're more likely to have problems if you have any third-party repos, like PPA's etc.. I'll have difficulties from zfsonline native repos and a few others myself. [20:15] Heebie1: thanks so much for your help. I'll restart now and see if it works all fine [20:15] chris__: Just put it all in your /home partition, and keep the same home partition betwen changes. [20:15] ZeThomas: I thought so [20:15] Heebie1: I just switched from mint for e.g. and home contains so many programs and the .config folder. I felt like starting fresh is better [20:16] Heebie1: I see.... I may have to make a clean installation rather. [20:16] ZeThomas: agreed. separate partitions for / /var /usr /usr/local /home /tmp /opt and all excellent ideas. [20:16] could someone show me how one can create an equivalent batch file in linux? i know the paths won't match up but i'm just trying to get an idea. http://pastebin.com/DQ6wZ9hN [20:16] really don't want to be forced to do my homework on windows. lol [20:17] Heebie1: Therefore, all repos are disable, right.. [20:17] ? [20:17] darkseid: I've been spending my evenings making sure I have backups of all the stuff on my machine. (8TB's of storage takes a while to backup to eternal drives of various sizes! I'm just glad I don't have to do that with any of the servers at work.) ;) [20:18] Heebie1: A lot of things... huh.. [20:18] Heebie1: ok I restarted and its still weird [20:19] Heebie1: it says /data is not ready or present failed to mount [20:19] eindoofus: just change all the paths to what they are in Linux. I don't think you need the set commands, though. JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre/bin/ something along those lines. (It won't be identical to that.) What I don't see is the actual java command to run tomcat. [20:19] chris_: I don't know what to tell you without directly inspecting it then. :/ [20:19] Ultimately, I would like to mount an encrypted, bcached logical volume as /home at boot. I am having trouble with getting all of the steps to line up. I have a smaller SSD partition as the caching device (/dev/sdb4) and the entire HDD as the backing device (/dev/sdb1). I created the bcache0 device, and then created the LUKS volume (bcache0_crypt), created a volume group on it (data), created the logical volume (home), and formatted it [20:19] Heebie1: What do you use/recommend for backups? [20:20] darkseid: We have servers with hundreds of TB's of data. I wouldn't want to have to back those up to portable USB disks. ;) [20:20] I created /etc/crypttab entries for bcache0_crypt using the bcache UUID, and added an entry in /etc/fstab. [20:20] Heebie1: ok i understand. but maybe its just how the mount options are said. I did this. http://postimg.org/image/4fq8yowh1/ [20:20] Heebie1: set* [20:20] r3ality: at home, just portable disks and rsync usually. If you have another machine to backup to, you can use rsnapshot. If you have a few, rsnapshot should still be good. If you have a lot, I'd recommend bacula. [20:21] If I boot, it said waiting for volume. The volumes seem to be detected by Nautilus, and I can decrypt, at which point they're automounted at /mnt/bcache. What I can't seem to do is have them automout at BOOT (i.e. prompt me for password and continue the boot process.) [20:21] thanks Heebie1 [20:21] If it's set to mount at startup, it's probably already mounted. check with the mount command. [20:21] Heebie1: I have 4 systems on 1 tb hard drive.. I'm afraid lost every thing in a clean installation like happened time ago.. [20:21] It is a noghtmare.. [20:21] nightmare.. [20:22] (Sorry. /dev/sda1 is the backing device. /dev/sdb4 is the caching device.) [20:22] darkseid: That would be pretty icky. I just have one system on the main machine, and run everything else as VM's. It's easier. ;) [20:22] Heebie1, do I need export commands? [20:22] I'm throwing it into .bashrc [20:22] Heebie1: ok, thx. I'll have a look. I don't have too much stuff to backup, so I thought I could use the easy way out with deja-dup this time, but it that seems to have been a bad idea... :/ [20:23] r3ality: You could always go with tar [20:23] anyone have a working uselessgaps patch for dwm-6.0 [20:23] I just upgraded to 14.04, and unity seems wonky now. In particular, I can't find unity-tweak-tool from the dash, my launcher has disappeared, and I have multiple workspaces but they are all arranged vertically (rather than in a grid) [20:23] I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [20:24] no ight [20:25] does CLASSPATH exists in linux? echo $CLASSPATH doesn't show anything [20:25] chris_: If you have mount at startup ticked, it should already be mounted, and you should just go to /data in the filesytem, and not to the drive that asks for mounting. [20:25] eindoofus: try: `env | grep CLASS` === fred is now known as Guest581 [20:25] steamboat, try resetting your unity/compiz http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html [20:26] kostkon: thanks, I'll check it out [20:26] I suspect I may have screwed up reating the device names. lsblk output can be found http://pastebin.com/AfZRGqf1, blkid output at http://pastebin.com/ambGdsGr, /etc/crypttab at http://pastebin.com/mjuNCyVQ [20:26] Heebie1: I just that it gives me this waring at startup and it doenst mount it by itself. i trying to do automatic mount now. without editing the details [20:26] Sup, nerds? [20:27] Additionally, I have added "types = [ "bcache", 16 ]" to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, so that bcache devices are probed via LVM. === HDRDanny is now known as TheBigot === TheBigot is now known as HDRDanny [20:36] yo yo yo [20:36] o/ [20:36] oy oy oy [20:36] just upgraded today from 13.10 to 14.04. stuck with low-graphics mode message an cannot figure the next step in fixing it. [20:37] lowgraphicssuck: Does your video card have 100% free and open-source drivers? If not.. have you gone to "additional drivers" and installed the appropriate ones for your video card? [20:37] I have nvidia-prime installed since I have optimus. [20:38] I cannot get to the additional drivers screen because I don't even get to the greeter [20:38] lowgraphicssuck: How did you upgrade. My "previously supported" AMD card seemed to crap itself on clean installs and dist-upgrades. For some reason, Xorg didn't seem to catch the previous configuration. [20:39] yes. I did do-release-upgrade [20:39] I have no idea what nvidia-prime nor optimus are. I would login in text mode and run some type of x configurator [20:39] yes.. how do I do that? [20:39] I know how to get to text mode [20:39] Can you describe your sytem? What video card to you have? [20:39] it's a laptop. acer 5742g [20:40] CTRL-ALT-F1, then login as yourself, then sudo su - to the root user, then run the xconfigurator. (I'd google for specifically what it is under 14.04) [20:41] no need to become root with sudo only to ask su to make your already root into root [20:41] sudo -s if you want a shell [20:41] You have to have the root password to use su by itself. sudo su - gives you a super-user shell, with the super-user's envelope. [20:42] sudo -s is probably an alias for sudo su or sudo su - [20:42] this laptop has the nvidia-optimus graphics on it. [20:42] sudo -s just gives you a shell, Heebie1, sudo -i is similar to sudo su -, but doesn't execute su [20:42] no... it effectively does the same thing, just without running two different programs to try and become root, the second of which succeeds without asking for a password because you already *are* [20:43] lowgraphicssuck: now what you need are the drivers. You might have to manually install the FOSS drivers (nouveau) or download & install the latest nvidia non-free drivers since you can't get to the UI yet. [20:44] CornishPasty: and psusi: Always a good day to learn something new. ;) [20:45] hello [20:45] i have this wierd double click thing where it double clicks twice even though it shouldnt. this sucks in gaming (razor deathadder) [20:45] psusi: sudo -s doesn't give you root's PATH or other variables [20:45] Heh, I had that issue with a razer mouse Jay [20:45] It was the mouse switch :P [20:46] their is none [20:46] I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [20:46] ok, new driver installed.. rebooting [20:46] good luck lowgraphicssuck [20:47] Ubuntu: When in doubt, learn to configure irssi by hand. :P [20:47] hola buenas tardes [20:47] Jay: none what? [20:47] Hola, alvaro. [20:47] como estan [20:47] no button on my mouse [20:48] Last I knew irssi had some serious security holes in it. (this is several years back) any idea if they've been patched? I used to use ircii on a VAX under Ultrix way back in the day... always liked it. [20:48] recien instale el ubuntu, y pienso quedarme con el [20:48] me cambie del windows [20:48] Heebie1: Nah. I use hexchat and a ZNC bouncer. Of all the things I love to do via command line, IRC is not one of them. [20:49] Edit > Preferences > Behaviour there you will see [20:49] where is that [20:50] I've never heard of either of those. =O [20:51] nope. still no luck with the driver. [20:51] lowgraphicssuck: Which driver did you install? [20:51] nvidia-304 [20:52] Did you create a custom config file as well? You might need to tell it to load the nvidia module(s) and use them. [20:52] Heebie1: Hexchat is a fork of XCHAT, from the Linux Mint guys, I think. ZNC is a command line bouncer that I can run on an offshore server with IPv6 [20:52] hello [20:52] HEKLP! [20:53] Which is it, Jay? hello or HEKLP? [20:53] Jay: You spelled "Halp!" wrong. [20:53] :D [20:53] :) [20:53] What's up? [20:53] why does my mouse double click when i only click it once [20:53] Jay: repeat rate too fast? [20:54] i change them both [20:54] short in the clicker? [20:54] Jay: or perhaps "accessibility options" of some kind turned on? [20:54] wheres that [20:54] heebie_: Heebie1 - Same person? [20:54] Edit > Preferences > Behaviour there you will see <---- my friend says this but i cant find it [20:54] Jay: Click the Ubuntu icon on your Dash, and type "Mouse" [20:54] kdfree: Yes. I popped on via irssi for a bit, just to see what it's like. ;) [20:54] gowt it [20:55] <3 [20:55] any good MMOs on ubuntu? [20:55] :D [20:55] Now there's only one me here. :) [20:55] Are there any shortcomings of running Ubuntu on a virutal machine? Is it significantly slower--or are there any complications that I should know about? [20:55] django: Define "Good MMOs" :) [20:55] id say mmo dota 2 [20:55] lol [20:55] or league of legends [20:56] Ubuntu can run a handful of Steam games. As well as some decent Windows games, and (more and more), just... you know... games. [20:56] profligacy: It shouldn't be significantly slower if you give it the right resources, and aren't using an accelerated GUI. If you just need to use it as a server, performance as a VM can be excellent. [20:56] rm -fr 71.47.31.141 [20:57] profligacy: What's your host OS, and what are you using to virtualize? [20:57] profligacy: Generally speaking, there's good support for all of them. But each of them have different ways to make them awesome. [20:58] kdfree: Windows 7, VMBox [20:58] heebie_: Most hypervisors support accelerated GUI, actually. [20:58] *VirtualBox [20:58] profligacy: Hopefully you don't want to run 64-bit Windows 7 in KVM under Ubuntu. Flipping apparmor keeps denying permission for it to run, and I can't find anyone to help me. [20:58] heebie_: What's an accelerated GUI? [20:58] kdfree: They do, but it's pretty much all emulated, so it's not going to be fast enough for OpenGL 3-D games at any acceptable frame rate. ;) [20:59] profligacy: You won't see many drawbacks. Virtualbox is pretty good. The defaults should give you a good idea of what Ubuntu is about. Fire it up, let me know if you have any questions about how to make it better. [20:59] heebie_: What's KVM? Windows 7 is my host OS. [20:59] is anyone using ssd on 14.04 ? i'm considering buying one - but I wanted to understand if it is really all that great on linux. they are really expensive to buy :( [20:59] kdfree: Thanks. [20:59] heebie_: With the right CPU extensions, it's accelerated by hardware, and has near native performance. About a 3-6% hit. Obviously, this matters a LOT on older systems, but not so much on newer. [21:00] profligacy: GUI = graphical user interface. accelerated means that the video card has processors in it that handle much of the work. The OS tells the video card "draw me a box" and a box gets drawn, so that the CPU doesn't have to calculate every pixel for the box and map it into the graphics card RAM. [21:00] I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [21:00] heebie_: On some hyperviors, it's even possible to pass a video card directly to the VM. [21:00] "accelerated" is a feature of the GUI or the video card? [21:01] profligacy: The card has to support it, and the GUI has to support THAT card. [21:01] Oh, crap. Sorry. Didn't realize you were having that issue while I'm bantering with you. :P [21:01] kdfree: I don't have that kind of budget. :) [21:02] heebie_: Most people don't. I'm lucky to work on virtualization for a living. :) [21:02] kdfree: I'm a cloud computing guru.. I still don't have that kind of budget. ;) [21:03] And (previously) used GPUs for mining bitcoin, back when such things were effective. I had lots of spares. [21:03] heebie_: Dumb question, but are you current with all updates, and in the libvirt group? [21:04] Actually... kvm and libvirtd [21:04] kdfree: Nice. and yes, updates done earlier today, followed by a reboot, and I am in the libvirt group. (my other VM's all work fine, including a Vista VM) [21:04] KVM for CPU acceleration, libvirt for control of VMS. [21:04] heebie_: I see. [21:04] the GUI varies from application to application, right? [21:05] Is there a group for spice? [21:05] No group for spice. [21:05] SPICE shouldn't require a group. [21:06] profligacy: That's complicated. It's easier to ask "What version of Ubuntu are you using?" (i.e "Ubuntu", "Kubuntu", "Xbuntu", et cetera.) [21:06] The answers are usually the same, but... Linux is weird. :P [21:06] I wish there was some way to just shut apparmor off like you can with selinux. [21:06] heebie_: sudo apt-get remove --purge apparmor [21:07] heebie_: That's a bad solution, but you can totally do it. :P [21:07] About as useful as mucking around in /etc/sysconfig. :) [21:07] kdfree: I tried that. libvirt still didn't allow the VM to run, complaining that it couldn't find the apparmor profile for it. :/ [21:07] HOSTING FREE LOOK: http://api.hostinger.es/redir/3587350/ :D [21:07] HOSTING FREE LOOK: http://api.hostinger.es/redir/3587350/ :D [21:07] /kick b4rt spam [21:07] wat [21:07] :D [21:07] That's weird. :S [21:08] Thank you flannel :) [21:08] Out of curiosity, are you using virt-manager or virsh or soemthing else? [21:08] kdfree: vmm [21:09] virt-manager [21:09] Just to be sure, virt-manager? [21:09] Okay. [21:09] I think Ubuntu's fucked it up, honestly. [21:09] When I launch it, it doesn't get picked up by metacity. No windows. :S [21:09] It pisses me off, and it's not the only complaint with Trusty. :S [21:10] I have my own issues with it. [21:10] I just wish Windows 7 would work the same as Windows Vista. I think it might be that my Vista VM is 32-bit, and I want to use a 64-bit Windows 7 version. === fran is now known as Guest63820 [21:11] Is there a app or addon to be able to fax with All-in-Ones Printers? [21:11] br ae [21:11] heebie_: One Linux user to another... You're phrasing the question wrong if you want things to work like Windows Vista. [21:11] Or... asking the wrong question. [21:11] kdfree: uhm... yeah. [21:11] * heebie_ kicks himself [21:12] I wis the same configuration that I have for my Windows Vista VM would also work for my Windows 7 VM. [21:12] cyford: It depends on the type of printer, though, honestly, your odds aren't great. [21:13] I use faxzero.com to send PDFs, because I've not yet run across a completely decent way to send faxes, and I do it once every three years, so it's not worth my time. [21:13] yeah its a cannon, i been searching for a while.. just figured i would ask. Thanks kdfree [21:13] kdfree: Ubuntu. [21:14] If it were an HP there would probably be drivers. [21:14] cyford: There might be a tool. I just don't know what it is. I have a Cannon printer and it's fully supported without extra tools, but it's not an all-in-one. [21:14] profligacy: 14.04? === Guest63820 is now known as fraan [21:15] kdfree: Well, I haven't downloaded it yet. Which version do you reccomend I get? [21:15] profligacy: Actually, doesn't matter. That version supports a few different methods, like the "failsafe". At the area that gives you the login box, you'll see a little Ubuntu icon by your name. That lets you pick sessions. [21:15] Some are composite, some are not. [21:15] yeah my priinter drivers work, dobt the scanner does, and i know i can print to the fax however cant get the the dialag box to ask for a fax number [21:16] kdfree: Pick sessions? [21:16] Sorry. :) [21:16] Regarding the way it uses your video card. Ignore it if you're not sure what it does. [21:16] As I said, try it. There's no harm. Feel free to ask if something doesn't work as you expected. [21:17] profligacy: That's largely a matter of preference, to be completely honest. Everybody who answers it will tell you a million reasons why they're right. But it's all the same base, and if you like any of them, you can expand them to fit your needs. [21:18] 14.04 is new enough that it's occasionally buggy. It doesn't stop me, but it can be annoying. And I prefer the Unity UI for now, so I just use the Ubuntu install. [21:18] Hello [21:18] But I'm weird. I always install from the Server image, because I like the power of the installer there. So... My opinions are largely irrelevant. :P [21:19] some one [21:19] hello zayitas [21:20] Hello, [21:20] where are your from? [21:20] some one can help me [21:20] I see where this is going... [21:21] Don't ask to ask a questin, just ask [21:21] hey guys, ubuntu gives me the waring at startup that I cant boot my /data partition. it says the drive is not ready... if I mount it manually in ubuntu it works. how can I fix that and where? [21:21] profligacy: Ubuntu is possibly one of the best systems in the world to paly with and get over the fear of breaking it. :) [21:22] chris__: Great question, I have largely the same issue. Care to explain the setup? (LUKS, LVM, bcache, ext4, btrfs, et cetera)? [21:23] chris__: Can you give us the output of `grep data /etc/fstab` [21:23] kdfree: I can only answer one question because I'm fairly new to linux. I have ext4 [21:23] * m1dnight_ ordered his trusty tahr shirt from the canonical shop [21:24] \o/ [21:24] profligacy: I like Ubuntu Gnome personally, because I can get insane multitasking efficiency after tweaking Gnome a little bit [21:24] Ultimately, I would like to mount an encrypted, bcached logical volume as /home at boot. I am having trouble with getting all of the steps to line up. I have a smaller SSD partition as the caching device (/dev/sdb4) and the entire HDD as the backing device (/dev/sdb1). I created the bcache0 device, and then created the LUKS volume (bcache0_crypt), created a volume group on it (data), created the logical volume (home), and formatted it [21:24] heebie_: right now its not mounted and i get: # /data was on /dev/sda6 during installation [21:24] UUID=a0174071-52f0-44b0-a062-074781c408ab /data ext4 defaults 0 2 [21:25] That's actually kinda cool. I didn't realize Ubiquity did that. :) [21:26] chris__: Can you click your Dash (the Ubuntu Icon), type in "terminal", and then type "cat /etc/fstab" and copy the entire thing to http://pastebin.com ? [21:26] This might actually be easy, but I would like to see to confirm. :) [21:27] kdfree: http://pastebin.com/WJ7egc95 [21:27] chris__: That sound auto-mount at boot. You could edit /etc/fstab and change remove the UUID=a01... and replace it with LABEL=data [21:28] For comparison [21:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340570/ [21:28] chris__: Are you familiar with the command line, or would you prefer a graphical text editor, like Notepad? [21:28] I can do command line [21:29] but the thing that heebie_ said I didnt get..I would not know where to change it [21:29] Man.. I wish I could believe in a upgrade without a new install.... [21:30] hey guys my comp shuts down when i hit the power button any suggestions? [21:30] jake_: What do you expect instead? [21:30] jake_: don't hit the power button. [21:30] it usually goes into power saving mode [21:30] How about change the 'button action'... [21:30] ? === sz0 is now known as sz0` [21:31] jake_: There should be setting in the power management bit of the system config panel I think. [21:31] jake check out power settings [21:31] k leme check [21:31] hello, someone knows any software to record data blurays? on commandline if possible? i can't find any [21:31] chris__: Please add this line to the end of /etc/fstab. You'll need sudo to make the change (i.e "sudo nano /etc/fstab" or whatever editor you prefer.) http://pastebin.com/qm0g039x [21:31] jake, try search something on google about these kind of configuration.. Pretty easy. [21:32] kdfree: ok I'll try it [21:32] k thanks. fixed [21:32] Zedax: wodim won't do it? === devtty0 is now known as devtty1 === devtty1 is now known as devtty0 === jake__ is now known as GeorgeClooney [21:33] kdfree: should I also remove some other stuff [21:33] chris__: No. [21:33] kdfree: this for eg UUID=a0174071-52f0-44b0-a062-074781c408ab /data ext4 defaults 0 2 [21:34] chris__: You might end up with weirdness, because the UUID= line may still be there. Changing "UUID=" to "LABEL=data" or "/dev/sda6" should work. [21:34] kdfree: so it looks like this now http://pastebin.com/YYLvF7h4 [21:34] chris__: Hold on, lemme check. I might have missed that... [21:34] Hrm, yeah, I missed that. Can you also paste the output of "sudo blkid" ? [21:34] anyone here know of somewhere I can upload a Ubuntu based Virtual Appliance for the community? Tried dropbox but they suspended the public share due to excessive access [21:35] mrlesmithjr: For what purpose? Vagrants has a different place that Docker, for instance. What do you want people to do with your appliance? [21:36] @kdfree it is a prepackaged Graylog2 syslog build [21:36] kdfree: should i not replace this line --> UUID=a0174071-52f0-44b0-a062-074781c408ab /data ext4 defaults 0 2 with what you told me to enter [21:36] http://everythingshouldbevirtual.com/ubuntu-14-04-graylog2-virtual-appliance [21:37] heebie_: i'm looking on it [21:37] chris__: I missed that. You might be right, but I would like to see the UUIDs reported. Can you paste "sudo blkid" to pastebin? [21:37] Just wanna confirm that the UUID isn't the issue. [21:37] kdfree: http://pastebin.com/VfXpQBpt [21:38] The UUID in blkid for /dev/sda6 doesn't match the one in FSTAB. That's weird! [21:39] Yep. My guess is a UUID mismatch. See how the UUID in /etc/fstab is different (a0174071-52f0-44b0-a062-074781c408ab) than the one reported by blkid? [21:40] chris__: Did you reformat the partition sometime after the initial setup of the machine? [21:40] yeah i reformated it after everything was installed [21:40] chris__: Just change the UUID in /etc/fstab to "c5ded19e-b5c8-4d8c-b427-6c508ef1e3b9", save, close, and reboot. [21:40] ok [21:40] chris__: That's probably what changed the UUID and broke hte mount. [21:40] heebie_: Good catch. :) === sz0` is now known as sz0 [21:41] AHHH my fsta gives me an error now when I open it http://pastebin.com/qEXednXr [21:41] heebie_: Have you tried cloning the Vista machine and re-installing with Win7? [21:41] Geez. This hot & sour soup should be hot & hot & hot & hot & sour (and hot too) soup! [21:42] As in, keeping the systems setting the same. That would rule out a KVM issue vs a machine config issue. [21:42] kdfree: I have not. I think it's a 64-bit vs 32-bit thing. [21:42] (as in the apparmor profile has to be different for a 64-bit windows vm, but isn't.) [21:43] I need to check my privaledge. I haven't touched a 32 bit system in years. :P === kitomaza is now known as Guest94424 [21:43] heebie_: I can only think that there's a lack of multi-arch profiles dropped somewhere, or the VM is trying to execute memory above it's range... [21:44] I'd be curious to know how that works out. :) [21:44] kdfree: The VM doesn't actually begin to run. the BIOS pop-up doesn't even happen. [21:44] But I would think apparmor would be noarch. === heisenberg is now known as Guest2087 [21:45] guys, how can I erase all unity packages and run in pure kde? [21:45] heebie_: Does it doe anything with memory or disk IO using htop? [21:46] darkseid: You should probably start with the Kubuntu installer. Assuming you've used the Ubuntu image, open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get remove ubunut-desktop -y; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [21:46] kdfree: I haven't checked with htop, but it shows some CPU activity, and even some disk activity, but I think it's bogus. It's possible that it's only the spice-based display bit that's not working. === jake__ is now known as georgecloony [21:47] heebie_: I've hit a bug with Ubuntu 12.04 where VMs don't display anything. I assumed it was an Ubuntu bug, but maybe not. Pretend the UI is there. Do you see activity if you log in?" [21:47] And worst case, can you try a VNC session? [21:47] Maybe it's booting, just not displaying? [21:48] kdfree: Is your nick a reference to KDE? [21:48] kdfree: I can't get logged in.. the VM hasn't been installed. It is possible that it's booting but not displaying. [21:48] @ heebie_ kdfree YOU GUYS are the BEST. it works now!!! so sweet [21:48] is there a known error with ubuntu 14.04 and netbooks? the live is acting abnormal (no installer, not allowing to access internet or temrinal) [21:48] darkseid: No. My name is Kevin Darien Freeheart. It's an initialization of my name. [21:49] kdfree: It works with the kde backports enabled? [21:49] ppa [21:49] chris__: Glad it's working for you. :) Do you understand what happened now? [21:49] kdfree: I dunno how it happened. but yeah the UUIDs didnt match [21:50] chris__: Do you understand what a UUID is? [21:50] darkseid: I would personally avoid the PPA packages with a new release being this close. Many of the features may be in 14.04... I don't know, honestly. [21:50] kdfree: but I know how to fix it in the future [21:50] heebie_: I assume its one of the names/addresses of a partition [21:51] chris__: When you create a new filesystem (formatting), it creates a new UUID. Somewhere between the install and the reformatting, you changed how the filesystem was described, and the installed wasn't able to make sense of the chance. :) [21:51] chris__: Universal Unique IDentifier. (in theory, there shouldn't be another one with that UUID anywhere.) Most things in systems now have a UUID, not just disk-drives. NIC's etc.. [21:51] kdfree: I got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340719/ [21:52] ok cool [21:52] It's annoying, but very useful. Git uses the same mechanism (sorta) to watch every change to a system. :) [21:52] I'm so happy it works now [21:52] and I think I understand the concept a bit more [21:53] darkseid: I would suggest disabling the backports or PPA repos. I ran into a similar issue with kde-desktop the other day. [21:53] Also, sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update to make sure you have the latest versions of all repos. [21:54] Ubuntu 14.04 is like... a week old. KDE hasn't released since then, so there's no clear benefit to using backports or PPAs just yet. [22:02] kdfree: Did I see you mentioning cached partitions, potentially on LVM? (you were talking about encrypted LUKS partitions, I think.. don't know at what layer the cacheing would be.) I'm using ZFS myself, with ZIL for write-cache on SSD's, and l2arc for read-cache, also on SSD's. [22:03] hi. i have two android phones, both with CM11 and MTP enabled. one is being recognized in xubuntu 14.04 with gvfs fuse mtp, but the sony xperia z1 compact is not. what can i do about that? [22:03] heebie_: Yeah. Using bcache. [22:03] What layer does bcache sit at? (I've never heard of it before today.. I've learned a few new things today) ;) [22:04] Can someone help me with netboot installer for trusty? I've used it before (precise/quantal) but if I boot with the trusty kernel & initrd.gz I just get an error before reaching the installer. This a known change/problem? [22:04] Just installed 14.04, and I'm really not digging the new window dragging/resizing behavior -- specifically, the way that windows seem to "follow" after your cursor instead of just moving with it. Is there a way to change it back? [22:05] hello. I am pretty new to ubuntu and I am trying to install F.lux program. I followed instructions on the page, but after entering `sudo apt-get install fluxgui' I am getting this: fluxgui : Depends: python-support (>= 0.90.0) but it is not installable. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [22:05] I have python installed btw [22:08] kdfree: researching now.. don't need an answer. :) [22:08] heebie_: I missed the question. :P [22:08] ditto [22:09] kdfree: something about bcache.. just ended up googling it. [22:09] Using the Freenode webchat thing here sucks. So much irrelevant into. [22:10] nice share [22:10] Just got back from a Ubuntu 14.04 launch party. They upgraded me from 10.04 to 14.04 :D:D:D [22:10] And my laptop works well :) [22:11] bananapie: Did they upgrade your live system from 10.04 to 14.04, or just install over the 10.04? [22:11] Nope. Clean install. But they fixed my driver issues. [22:11] kdfree: hit the options thing at top left [22:12] bananapie: boring :/ [22:12] turns out all I needed was a kernel option :P [22:12] radeon.dpm=1 :) [22:12] that happens :p [22:12] bananapie: I'd love to see an upgrade path from 10.04 to 14.04, but there probably won't be one. (I could send out a howto to customers, so they could ignore it entirely, after which we could say "We TOLD You to upgrade" [22:12] heebie_: there is one [22:12] but I dare say the people able to write one typically aren't interested in such a procedure already :p [22:12] I'm going to upgrade all my work computers to ubuntu 14.04 this week. Everyone is still on 10.04 [22:13] reisio: I know there is one from 12.04 and later, but from 10.04 to 14.04? [22:13] upgrading is very simple in essence [22:13] you replace old data with new [22:13] it's not rocket science :) [22:13] Upgrading means erase everything except /home and reinstall :) [22:13] It is when your average customer doesn't know what "CLI" means. [22:13] bananapie, no, upgrading means upgrading [22:13] oh you don't need to get them involved [22:14] :P [22:14] Sorry, I'm brasilian and don't understand so much English. [22:14] But [22:14] heebie_: 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 [22:14] bananapie: saving configs, and DB data etc.. etc.., those usually aren't in /home/ [22:14] Right. But I'm talking about desktops here. [22:14] jrib: Oh.. silly me! ;) [22:14] Servers are a pain in the arse to upgrade. [22:14] I've never had any trouble [22:14] I have problems with width of icons [22:15] bananapie: For some of us.. our desktops are every bit as complex, if not more (if not SIGNIFICANTLY more) than most servers. [22:15] Recently I installed Xubuntu and it's so bigger [22:15] I am going to try out awesome wm, the guy at the party said it was awesome [22:15] Awesome is fantastic, especially if you need a lot of text terminals.. like a Linux admin tends to. [22:16] I don't use awesome at home, but that's what I have at work for sure. [22:16] heebie_: no it's awesome... [22:16] glenn_: that's configurable [22:16] glenn_: talking about desktop icons? [22:16] Yeah [22:16] and navigator [22:16] I just realized the release party I went to was a week late and not registered :O [22:16] bananapie: wmii is a little more intuitive out of the box than awesome, IMO [22:16] All is so bigger [22:16] but its name is less... awesome :p [22:16] glenn_: navigator as in file manager? [22:16] bananapie: Hopefully they weren't hackers installing malware on your computer along with the OS then. =OP [22:17] glenn_: hold CTRL and turn the mouse wheel [22:17] :) [22:17] nope, the guy told me how to fix my issue and I looked it up on the Ubuntu Wiki. And now it works. [22:17] haha I not tried hold CTRL hahaha [22:17] glenn_: :p [22:17] bananapie: ever tried banoffee pie? If not, you should! [22:17] I'll try this and back to say results :D [22:17] Thanks [22:18] Sorry if my english is bad haha [22:18] :p [22:18] banoffee? [22:18] snaparoo... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie [22:18] I only have 4gigs of memory, should I use the 64-bit or 32-bit version / [22:18] ?* [22:19] glenn: Your english seems alright to me. A lot of Brasilians come here to Dublin to study English. Perhaps some of them taught you! ;) [22:19] bananapie: you should use 64-bit if your _processor_ is a 64-bit processor [22:19] So [22:19] this is the only criterion one should consider [22:19] reisio: banoffee = banana & toffee [22:19] heebie_: nom [22:19] Use CTRL don't result :( [22:19] ok thanks [22:19] glenn_: in thunar? [22:19] Thanks heebie_ ^^ [22:19] thunar ? === whoever is now known as Guest882 [22:20] bananapie: grep ' lm' /proc/cpuinfo &>/dev/null && echo 'your proc is 64-bit' [22:20] lscpu [22:20] glenn_: thunar is Xfce's file manager's name [22:20] My cpu is 64-bit, I know that already. The question was whether I should installed 64-bit [22:21] oh, i don't know [22:21] bananapie: If your CPU is 64-bit, then yes, install 64-bit. [22:21] Ok. Thanks :) [22:21] bananapie: right :) [22:21] glenn_: and you want the icons a different size in the file manager? [22:21] 64 bit uses more and longer registers and all features [22:22] No [22:22] I haven't been this excited about ubuntu since 8.04 [22:22] all is so bigger, no just the icons but all [22:23] glenn: Sounds like you have to change your screen resolution. [22:24] I was tried configure on aparence settings, menu editor, theme configuration, workspaces [22:24] ah, indeed [22:24] window manager, window manager tweeks [22:24] How do I know if jQuery is installed on my ubuntu computer (12.04)? [22:24] and anything results [22:24] :( [22:24] jQuery is not installed, you link in your html source [22:24] hello there. I`ve booted lubuntu and installed it, however, it won`t boot from disk and ``boot repair`` didn`t work also [22:25] lvfjf, what [22:25] ubuntoer, Bootinfo summary from bootrepair? [22:25] the grub menu shows but after that the cursos keeps blinking forever (top left) [22:25] So, change resolutions don't result :( [22:25] django: [22:25] !nomodeset ubuntoer [22:26] !nomodeset | ubuntoer [22:26] ubuntoer: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:26] Beldar: boot repair asked me to enter some commands but one of them returns an error: E: Unable to locate package linux [22:26] the command: sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda4" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux [22:26] glenn_: Go to system settings, then to display and monitor, and you should be able to set the resolution there. It's probably set to 640x480 or 800x600 now. Set it to the maximum that your monitor can do. [22:27] ubuntoer, You sure your not just missing a graphic driver now to boot, try the nomodeset link. [22:27] django: do you mean node.js? [22:27] Beldar: ok, i`ll try. thank you. [22:27] reisio, no [22:27] Oh , i'm using a notebook... Can this change something ? [22:28] jquery is just a(n enormous) JS lib, it comes as a single text file [22:28] it's not something you install on an OS [22:29] glenn_: yes, but not many things [22:29] Im getting this in console: GET file:///home/jonathan/jquery.js net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND [22:29] django: you should put the file somewhere in your web root [22:29] reisio, idk where the file is [22:29] django: it may well be in user jonathan's home directory [22:29] django: You probably don't have jquery.js at /home/jonathan/jquery.js It's probably somewhere else, so your code or configuration needs to be adjusted to compensate. [22:30] django: `find ~/jonathan -type f -name jquery.js` should tell you where it is. [22:30] resio, don't results [22:30] :( [22:30] glenn_: hrmm? [22:30] also, I'm not here to babysit little girls, so relax with the frownies :p [22:31] fGET file:///home/jonathan/jquery.js net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND [22:31] err sorry [22:31] Not work, change the resolutions in display [22:31] Just exist one resolution [22:32] 640x480 [22:32] glenn: ok, so you don't have a "proper" driver for your video card, so it's using the generic VGA driver. [22:32] heebie_, this: 'find ~/jonathan -type f -name jquery.js [22:32] no [22:32] And can I change this ? [22:32] ~/, not ~/jonathan [22:32] django: yes, but without the ` at the beginning. [22:32] or /home/ [22:32] ~/jonathan will likely be nonexistant [22:32] django: actually I meant ~jonathan no slash in between there. sorry. [22:33] django: reisio might be right, jonathan might very well not exist, depending on what the server is that's dishing out the content. [22:33] long way to type '~' :p === mue_ is now known as mue [22:33] django: download the jquery, rename the file to jquery.js, save the file in ~/jonathan [22:34] lvfjf, where can i get jQuery for ubuntu 12.04?? [22:34] I'll be back :p [22:34] django: http://jquery.com/download/ [22:34] django: jquery isn't "for" an operating system. You don't have to download any specific version for Ubuntu, just get the latest version available, or check the documentation for your code & see what version it requires. [22:35] fuck im so stupid your right [22:35] glenn_: YOu should be able to install a video driver for your video card, as long as you find out what it is. [22:36] glenn_: lspci | grep -i vga [22:36] django, we ask for clean respectable english, no swearing here. ;) [22:37] django: Anywhere else. We have visitors of all age ranges, and people with different toleration levels of that type of language. [22:37] sorry [22:37] Hi all, I couldn't find anything recent about this topic, but I would like to download a DRM-protected eBook. I understand that the traditional way is to use Adobe Digital Editions, but my netbook won't handle wine+ADE. Is there another solution? (I don't particularly care if the ePub file behind it remains encrypted) [22:38] django: www.w3schools.org [22:39] django: www.w3schools.com [22:39] he means http://www.w3fools.com/ [22:39] :p [22:39] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [22:39] winterowl: won't handle? [22:40] Alrighty, just got an issue putting an unallocated partition into my windows partition. It simply says An error occured. I will be posting the details shortly. [22:40] reisio: the site works [22:40] reisio, likely not. it's pretty weak. [22:40] winterowl: "decryption" is simple, but you have to have a certain environment to download them in the first place, IME [22:40] winterowl: not really a intense process... give it a try [22:40] an intense* [22:40] reisio, yeah, I can decrypt it, I just need to get the file behind the .acsm license. [22:41] I'm having a problem under Ubuntu 12.04 where I cant get a Windows 7 VM (KVM/libvirtd) to run at all. It keeps getting killed by apparmor. My other VM's work fine. I've looked at about a dozen articles found via google, and not one of them gives a working fix. Has anyone run across this? [22:41] hmm... i'll give it a try, but with 1gb of ram, I don't have high hopes :P [22:41] 1gb is plenty [22:41] it's just a glorified download manager [22:42] * winterowl raises an eyebrow [22:42] I'll give it a try :) [22:42] SiS? Wow. I haven't seen an SiS adapter in at least 10 years. [22:42] Alright, here are the GParted Details it gave me after attempting to put an unallocated partition into my windows partition [22:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340975/ [22:42] wheresmypaaants: hrmm? [22:43] reisio: hrrrmmmmmmm [22:43] wheresmypaaants: what're you trying to accomplish? [22:43] works thanks all [22:44] Okay, I initially made my Windows7 partition 75G, but I dont have enough space anymore, so I want to add 50G. I shrunk my main partition down by 50G and attempted to take the unallocated partition and put it into the Windows partition, but it gave me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7340975/ [22:46] m,. [22:46] wheresmypaaants: The error you posted doesn't sound unusual to me, and it tells you what to do. But, if your "main" partition is before your windows partition, then the partition would have to start earlier on the disk, so it would have had to move some structures around and done weird things to accomplish the move. If your "main" partition is after your windows partition, then it would have to do even weirder things. === Tex_Nick is now known as Stupid_Nick [22:46] heebie_: So the GpartedDetails will help me fix it? [22:47] wheresmypaaants: What probably happened is that the space you gained by shrinking the linux partition is at the end of the partition, which is not adjacent to the windows partition, and therefore can't be added to it. [22:47] :( [22:47] wheresmypaaants: There are ways to span partitions in windows, but it's not a good idea. [22:47] wheresmypaaants: Any time you mess with partitions, you make a backup first, right? [22:47] so much simpler to use two separate disks [22:47] or even better, pick one OS [22:47] *laughs nervously* of course..... [22:48] is there a way to get adobe reader workign on ubuntu 14.04 64 bit? [22:48] now stop frowning like a tiny infant :p [22:48] fabio123: it's called 'acroread', works fine [22:48] reisio: I just use one OS on the hardware, then as many as I want or need in VM's. [22:48] reisio: Well, if you bought me an external HDD, that would rock! [22:48] :P [22:48] reisio, how? [22:48] evince works better, but only as far as it can since PDF Is proprietary [22:48] fabio123: install it [22:48] because i got the .deb but there is a package missing [22:48] wheresmypaaants, the partition is a bit corrupt.. run chkdsk from windows [22:48] jhutchins: The unallocated data is above the Windows partition on the GParted [22:48] i also got all the i386 library [22:49] reisio, adobereader-enu dipende da libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.4) [22:49] fabio123: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89127/how-do-i-install-adobe-acrobat-reader [22:49] psusi: Thanks, just noticed it said that at the end of the GPARTED message [22:49] psusi: do chkdsk /f and reboot twice [22:50] Well, I'll be on my way to DIY land [22:50] :P [22:50] wheresmypaaants: It's so easy to oops something when you're messing with partitions. [22:51] i get this while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory === vsr is now known as xer0 === Stupid_Nick is now known as Tex_Nick === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] [22:51] i have th libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:amd64 package maybe i need the 386 === h00k is now known as Captain_h00k [22:52] the fact is that acrobat is only 386 [22:52] jhutchins, not really... unless you are *moving* a partition... and don't have a UPS... power fail in the middle of that is really bad [22:54] psusi: I guess you've never had a partition table drop a partition then. [22:55] does ubuntu provide mysql 5.0 -> 5.5 upgrade packages? (ie, 5.1) [22:55] psusi: ...or acidentally deleted the wrong one. [22:55] well don't delete a partition you don't mean to :) [22:56] measure twice, cut once [22:56] orbisvicis: if the packages arent upgraded to that version via updates, you may find a PPA on Launchpad [22:57] !ppa [22:57] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[23:06] c/ealr [23:06] I have the following problem on Ubuntu 12.04 [23:06] I have install NVIDIA grafics 331 [23:07] and the installation script disabled the Nouveau package [23:07] acroread will only be slower :) [23:07] and now my login in terminal looks ugly [23:07] unless it's a complex PDF full of proprietary nonsense [23:07] hikaruBG: is it ok once you login? [23:08] does NVIDIA have some driver package that makes the terminal looks pretty again? (Smaller size font) [23:08] yes [23:08] hikaruBG: is it just a low resolution? [23:08] ActionParsnip, if I login with XServer [23:08] is OK [23:08] yes it is just low resolution [23:09] and my second monitor won't run in terminal mode [23:09] only the native laptop display [23:09] hikaruBG: you can set a script to run when lightdm starts, you can use xrandr to set the resolution. [23:09] this dang low-graphics mode is really making me wish I had not upgraded. [23:10] ActionParsnip, thanks. Can you give me some source to see how to create this script?
