I've got 2 R9 270x's in this machine with a monitor connected to the dvi-i port on each. While both adapters show up in both the atisysteminforeport and in lspci, I'm getting no love from the second card. I've tried enabling it in amdcccle and after reboot that device is re-disabled. I'm running xubuntu 14.04. [00:02] catalase: thats nothing to do with Ubuntu support [00:02] ActionParsnip: nope, grub menu shows but it won`t boot ubuntu (cursor blinking forever) [00:03] !language | catalase [00:03] catalase: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [00:03] ubuntoer: what GPU do you use? [00:03] using stock fglrx from software center [00:04] ActionParsnip: Nvidia GTX550Ti... i know it`s not powerful but I think it should run ubuntu [00:04] ubuntoer: its fine. I run it on a much lesser nvidia [00:05] ubuntoer: have you tried the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1 [00:05] hello [00:05] i think im about to kill myself with this problem [00:05] ActionParsnip: nope [00:05] i had this fucking issue for two hours now [00:05] ubuntoer: worth a try [00:05] im about to pull my hair out [00:05] Please stop with the swearing [00:05] Node_409: keep it family friendly please [00:06] anyone else had issues with nvidia and a fresh reformat of ubuntu [00:06] the screen keep changing resolution [00:06] when i go into settings [00:06] Node_409: try the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1 [00:06] or whatever [00:07] Node_409: or do you actually have the proprietary driver installed and you actually get to the desktop? [00:07] afk [00:07] ActionParsnip: ok... to do that I have to type that option directly on grub menu (edit mode), right? [00:07] ubuntoer: yes [00:07] ActionParsnip: nice. lemme try. thank you [00:07] http://askubuntu.com/questions/317906/ubuntu-randomly-change-resolution-by-itself-to-1024x768 [00:07] this is the issue im having [00:07] except it's happening all the itme [00:08] it could take 5 minutes, or 5 seconds [00:08] whenver i go into my system settings, if i;m in 1024x768 i go into 1920x1080, or vice-versa [00:08] Node_409: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [00:08] when its in 1024x768 my monitor name is called CRT-0, and in 1080p is my real monitor [00:09] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l [00:10] Node_409: tried running: sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:10] Node_409: then rebooting [00:10] <[[lutchy]]> trism, I really appreciate you helping me thus far, is that right ? http://pastebin.com/BkXL3ZC1 .... I can userstand better ? [00:10] i think i did that [00:10] still [00:10] im kinda curious nonetheless, how Ubuntu can have such an issue with modern-day computers? [00:10] are we back in 1998? [00:11] Node_409: its probably not the computer. My guess is its the screen [00:11] no its not [00:11] * dw1 loves Ubuntu [00:11] i changed screen, and to the integrated cpu graphics [00:11] Node_409: im betting it isnt reporting EDID properly [00:12] some stupid programmer at ubuntu HQ decided it would be a good idea to "auto detect" the screen resolutions wheneve ryou went into system settings, or used any application in ubuntu [00:12] instead of just asking " SIR, WHAT RESOLUTION DO YOU WISH TO HAVE ?" [00:12] I am using 12.04 update-manager does not see 12.10 How can I make it see 12.10 so I can upgrade? [00:12] Node_409: i suggest you make an xorg.conf using the command I gave. You may need to play with the settings til you get an ok output [00:12] yes [00:12] i created a xorg.conf file as you said now [00:13] still, i went into sudo nvidia-settings [00:13] and choose frmo "resoution : auto" to "1920x1080" [00:13] shit didnt save tho [00:13] martianlobster: you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal [00:13] so after i have written that command, what should i do after [00:13] keep the language friendly please. [00:14] ActionParsnip: thanks! [00:14] martianlobster: then run: sudo do-release-upgrade [00:14] thx again! [00:14] Node_409: reboot and see if the xorg.conf makes things nice [00:14] I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with my bluetooth keyboard. It has fresh batteries, but every once in awhile the power management icon says the keyboard has low battery then it disconnects the keyboard. [00:14] okay [00:15] martianlobster: default of LTS is to look for the next LTS so you now told it to look for the between releases [00:15] ok cool [00:16] martianlobster: id just wait til 14.04.1 then you can upgrade LTS tobLTS [00:16] im back again [00:16] I kind of broke my box. I have no toolbar and only one workspace [00:17] well, the FDE screen is in the wrong resolution, so was my login screen, when i came in desktop it was 1080p [00:17] I was hoping an upgrade would fix it [00:17] then when i was logging into chat [00:17] the screen went black for around 20 seconds [00:17] and still 1080p [00:17] does that mean its fixed? i have had so much of this in 2 hours now that i think its normal [00:17] Node_243: then run: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:18] Node_243: if its normal then you are done [00:18] no it is not normal [00:18] its not fucking supposed to switch around resolution giving me seizures every minute [00:18] thats not normal [00:18] Node_243: ok then edit the file and start playing with settings [00:19] ok im calm [00:19] now what do i do next, master [00:19] Node_243: if you rename the xorg.conf file and reboot, you can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:20] Node_243: see what happens as the X server is setup [00:21] Node_243: or you can edit xorg.conf and look for samples online for how you can edit the file. [00:22] oaky [00:23] i renamed it [00:23] and i opened it [00:23] now it was empty [00:23] what do i do next, master ? [00:24] drop the attitude and reboot, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if anything pops out at you. [00:24] Hey I'm trying to install Windows 7 in a Virtualbox on Ubuntu 14.04. I have a Windows 7 CD in the cd-rom drive, but it's not listed on Virtualbox's bootable media list. All I see is "Host Drive" listed. What do I need to do for Vbox to recognize the CD? [00:24] okay [00:25] the resolution doesnt seem to switch around anymore [00:25] it just goes black for a second or two [00:25] like it used to before, when switching [00:26] how can i make minecraft.jar executable [00:26] im pretty new to ubuntu [00:26] there are loads of text in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:26] me?

[00:27] ok so thats java jar or waht [00:27] actionparsnip the savior of ubuntu, how shall i proceed next [00:27] Node_243: yes its the X server coming up, look for errors and warnings [00:28] where do i look for errors [00:28] Node_243: in the log file.....where else? [00:29] Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar [00:29] i cleaned the log file [00:29] and now im replecating the issue [00:29] yet nothing is appearing in the logs [00:30] can you tell me, what function is used when im pressing on "System settings" or "monitor" [00:30] because when i press [00:30] Ka: does: java /home/karen/Downloads/Minecraft.jar ,work? [00:30] screen goes black for a second or two [00:31] Node_243: if you are using the Nvidia proprietary drivers you want to be using nvidia-settings [00:31] thats the path [00:31] im positive [00:31] okay [00:31] i went sudo nvidia-settings now [00:31] what do i do there? [00:31] Ka: yes, does it work? [00:31] Node_243: setup the display there.... [00:31] no Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar [00:32] but what am i supposed to setup [00:32] resolution is set at auto [00:32] shall i place it at my res i want? [00:32] Ka: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue === Tex_Nick is now known as Tex_Mex [00:32] Node_243: yes...what else could it be? [00:32] Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar [00:32] thats output [00:33] Save to X.configuration file? [00:33] Node_243: the application is called 'nvidia-settings' so what else could it possibly be? [00:33] Ka: no, again. What is the output of: cat /etc/issue [00:33] oh sorry [00:34] Ka: /etc/issue will have nothing to do with Minecraft ;) [00:34] okay [00:34] Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l [00:34] i have setup with nvidia-settings now [00:34] and saved to x.org [00:34] y [00:35] Node_243: so what else could it be used for if its not for resolution settings? [00:35] but [00:35] when i restart nvidia-settings [00:35] the settings i placed, arent there anymore ? [00:36] Ka: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/minecraft-installer-for-ubuntu [00:36] and how is this exactly going to fix my issue [00:36] with ubuntu detecting, something weird [00:36] Node_243: if you wrote to xorg.conf then restart X or reboot and it should apply [00:36] whenever i go to system settings, etc, screen goes black and my monitor name changes to CRT-0 [00:37] and when i shut down system settings [00:37] and go into it again [00:37] its back to the regular name [00:37] and so forth [00:37] Node_243: sounds like the monitor isnt reporting edid properly [00:37] okay? [00:37] Node_243: maybe the cable is bad [00:38] its ubuntu [00:38] not my cable [00:38] hi there, i have an issue with connecting to a location on my network. I enter the ip - smb://198.168.1.xx (obviously, I don't enter xx), and i'm getting a blank folder. Interestingly, it worked only 20 minutes ago. Any ideas/suggestions? [00:38] this mess, of a operating system, completely unstable and cant even run on prop drivers without issues, jesus christ man [00:39] Node_243: ive used nvidia from my first day in Linux and never had an issue. The only time ive seen video issues is with cheap screen and monitors. [00:39] i had ubuntu before [00:39] sasme screen, different video card [00:39] no issues at all [00:39] hi [00:40] Node_243: then it could be a bug in the new version. It is very young [00:40] no [00:40] i used a 13.04 one [00:40] from my laptop to my main [00:40] and tried with that [00:40] same issue [00:40] but i thought that it would work if i reformat [00:40] with the newer version [00:40] Node_243: if it worked in older versions and not the newer one then it could be a bug [00:41] how odd, windows beats ubuntu on this one - doesnt come with hardware compability issues, which i thought it would be #1 at combating [00:41] it didnt work in 13.04 [00:41] Node_243: not sure how an OS beats another...sounds hilarious [00:42] im sure it doesnt take 3 hours to get a video card working in windows [00:42] ActionParsnip: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=windows&word2=ubuntu [00:42] im probably certain, my current version of ubuntu, has like 10 video drivers, because of how shitbuntu is coded nowadays [00:43] im outt [00:43] thanks for not helping [00:43] Node_243: depends on the video card. Ever tried to get a trident cyberblade to work in windows 7..? [00:43] The Application Finder app on my Ubuntu system is not working. [00:43] no you're stupid [00:43] ubuntu is stupid [00:43] fuck you all kids [00:43] * hallwaxer giggles [00:43] Node_243: see ya [00:43] go cry about language somewhere lse [00:43] so you can have your minecraft kids [00:43] come ask questions about how to install the shit [00:43] Node_243: youbstill here?

[00:45] ubuntu is 14.04, windows is.... [00:45] one moment [00:46] ActionParsnip - please say that again. I don't understand what you meant. [00:46] windows 7 home premium [00:46] hallwaxer: so the system younare connecting to is Windows? [00:46] yes [00:47] it's to backup my files before i format and install [00:47] happyfr0gg: what is this application finder? Is it software centre? [00:47] hallwaxer: have younchecked event viewer in Windows? Have you tried rebooting the system? [00:47] <[[lutchy]]> I can't find dev packages for flex, or lex [00:47] <[[lutchy]]> Uh [00:48] <[[lutchy]]> It's a bit irritating .... [00:48] ActionParsnip - no. It provides a listing of all apps on my Kubuntu system and can launch them. [00:48] need a little help with a dual monitor setup... kinda lost. [00:49] ActionParsnip - i don't know what event viewer is or how to look at it, I do hear 'noises' from windows as i try and connect, but it's the same noise whether or not it's successful. Should I reboot windows or Ubuntu. I should point out that for now, I'm using ubuntu-live as I'm trying to backup the remaining files before I install and format. Or perhaps the other way around. [00:49] happyfr0gg: is it the ALT+F2 menu in KDE? [00:49] <[[lutchy]]> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/flex/ [00:49] <[[lutchy]]> What's the DEV packages?

[00:50] [[lutchy]]: what dev package? just need the binaries to general lexers right? they are in the flex package [00:51] hallwaxer: when you get windows issues (especially in server) you head straight to the logs [00:51] hallwaxer: im guessing you havent managed servers then [00:51] nope [00:51] hallwaxer: yep, desktop user. [00:51] <[[lutchy]]> me and friend is trying to build a pckage from source, the dependency is flex or lex [00:51] georgeclooney: any good error messages when you run "software-center" from terminal? [00:51] hallwaxer: start with a reboot, windows likes that [00:52] [[lutchy]]: then apt-get install flex; should do the job [00:52] I have my own VPS which I use for my website, but that's not windows based - server or otherwise [00:52] georgeclooney: pastebin it [00:52] ActionParsnip - No. The error dialog I get says: Could not load menu from (null) File "menus/kde-applications.menu" not found [00:53] happyfr0gg: id ask in #kde and see how to resolve that, they may know [00:55] <[[lutchy]]> trism, 'configure: error: could not locate a suitable lexical generator, install flex or lex.'

How can I perform an upgrade from the install DVD? === dean is now known as Guest61858 [01:04] BrianH: boot it and click Install should offer upgrade [01:04] if can theme unity let me know ok ? [01:06] hi [01:06] hello [01:06] dw1: It only gives me the open to erase the disk, or "Something else" which just allows me to repartition the drives. [01:06] BrianH: hrm well i gave it my best guess. :P [01:06] BrianH: saw it suggested on the web for past versions [01:07] how good is ubuntu with steam games now? [01:07] im sure a guru will answer soon :) [01:07] is it comparable with windows in terms of performance and functionality/compatibility? [01:08] hallwaxer: its been good for a while i think [01:08] dw1: I did something stupid and I'm trying to recover from it. I've been having a headache of a time since the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04, so I thought purging ubuntu-desktop and reinstalling would help. Now I can't get the system to boot to X. [01:09] BrianH: ahh thats another matter then.... hmm [01:10] It hangs on a black screen with a blinking terminal cursor. [01:11] BrianH: no boot menu to get to recovery mode ? [01:12] I can boot to recovery from grub and drop to root === Guest6065 is now known as whoever [01:13] I've tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and it says it's installed. But it won't boot past the black screen with a blinking cursor when I attempt to boot normally. [01:13] BrianH: anything good at the bottom of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [01:14] dw1: I'll check ... [01:14] BrianH, "won't boot past the black screen with a blinking cursor" says no information to us [01:15] BrianH: you might also try startx from prompt [01:15] Can someone tell me how to make the XChat indicator show up in the task bar or whatever it is called on Elementary OS, no one is talking in their channel [01:15] BrianH: recovery shell prompt [01:16] Hi [01:16] dagroves: whats Elementary OS?

[01:16] buy a mouse [01:16] or install windows [01:16] I didnt think it was... argh their channel is dead [01:16] (sorry, that was harsh).. option click I believe [01:16] I can plug in a mouse but how do I do it using the mouse botton and the control key? [01:17] didn't work for me [01:17] command click/control click? [01:17] my laptop is so slow with ubuntu. There is a delay in everything I do. Scroling webpages is really slow [01:17] windows sux [01:17] it's supposed to be one of those [01:17] hmmm [01:17] spearson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921609 looks useful [01:17] spearson: kind of old tho [01:17] ?

Just before that, it shows a bunch of UnloadModules with "(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file" [01:19] Hi.

[01:20] I'll try reinstalling the drivers. [01:20] yup, MacBook === Tex_Mex is now known as Tex_Nick [01:20] I can dual boot into OS X or ubuntu and want to get the right click functionality [01:21] in ubuntu [01:21] BrianH: couple things to possibly try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1712377 but i think you want service lightdm restart not gdm [01:21] queazy - I've had that problem forever on hdmi. I think it's something to do with overscanning, but short of manually changing it, I don't know how to fix it properly [01:22] BrianH: perhaps install nvidia-current if you have an nvidia card [01:22] although i'd love to know how, it's been bugging me for years. [01:22] hallwaxer: I am new to Xubuntu, but I was recommended to try Xrandr. It seems the "--scale xxy" command might be what I am looking for, but I am so new to how to use this stuff, I do not know what values to even put in there. [01:23] dw1: I have the nvidia drivers, installing them now. [01:23] #hallwaxer, any solution of getting right click? I followed the instruction on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921609 [01:23] Is there a way to switch fullscreen apps between screens?

I think a restart might be worth trying if the fix 'should' work, but beyond that, I couldn't tell you, I've only ever hackintoshed, not the other way around. [01:24] Sorry, I got booted. Did anyone respond to my question? [01:25] il reboot and let you know [01:26] Would anyone know how to use the "--scale xxy" command of Xrandr? I have no clue what values to put where, and would like to attempt to use it to shrink displayed area of monitor. Thank you.

[03:31] !dist-upgrade [03:31] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [03:31] ^ either of those, really.. dont need the dist-upgrade. but, you should *always* research commands *before* running them [03:31] both are correct, dist-upgrade goes a bit more [03:31] Hi everyone [03:31] holstein: Pfft, boring technique, if you don't research them, when stuff goes wrong you remember it so much more vividly. [03:32] I installed lamp via the commend line and it provided me with php 5.5. Im not happy about this as I wanted 5.3 or 5.4 [03:32] neonpinkcrayon: as long as you realize, you are ultimately responsible, and there are different ways to upgrade in the command line [03:32] what is a good solution to change php version? [03:33] holstein: I can't sue someone? :( It is against my American heritage! [03:33] Anyway, cause this thingie keeps popping up going... "like, do you wanna upgrade!? DO YOU!?"... [03:35] holstein: So, thanks, although I'd tried everything there except the dist-upgrade, which I assume will remove the evil pop-up which is giving me stress... windows, appearing, over my terminal. Ruining my day. [03:36] depends on what popup [03:37] hi [03:38] Btw, anyone got cinnamon working? cause it jams up for me big time. [03:38] I much prefer that to unity. [03:39] neonpinkcrayon: you using it from the repos? [03:39] "the repos"? [03:39] You mean, apt-get install? [03:39] neonpinkcrayon: have you added a 3rd party ppa for cinnamon support? the 3rd party will ideally support it, if so [03:39] ppa? [03:39] !ppa [03:39] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [03:40] You mean, use a PPA? [03:40] Just installed 14.04 works fine but after 5 minutes it freezes [03:40] neonpinkcrayon: im asking if you are using a PPA [03:40] holstein: I don't think so. [03:40] neonpinkcrayon: i would try as another user, to test my user config [03:40] holstein: Hmm, good idea. [03:40] neonpinkcrayon: can you tell exactly how did you install Cinnamon? [03:41] Geesh, how do I change windows when I have multiple terminals? (Hence my desire to cinnamon~. [03:41] Alt-~ [03:41] Right, thanks. [03:41] Ah, apt-get install cinnamon it was. [03:42] (same in gnome-shell, in case you ever switch to that) [03:42] All worked fine, it appears at the login and is selectable, selection occurs, soon as you click the menu... goodbye cruel world... frozen. [03:42] rww: I blame this laptop keyboard. It's ~ is in another galaxy. [03:42] neonpinkcrayon: then you had to use a ppa, because if you only use "apt-get install cinnamon" it will give you an error message, saying that cinnamon was not found [03:43] neonpinkcrayon: ouch [03:43] Danato: Oh? [03:43] !info cinnamon [03:43] Package cinnamon does not exist in trusty [03:43] Wth. [03:43] i thought it was added.. anyways, you'll need to ask the maintainers of the packages for support [03:43] So, I managed to setup a PPA-wachamacallit and now I got cinnamon from theres like... [03:44] neonpinkcrayon: Cinnamon is not in Ubuntu's repositories, you had to add a ppa in order to install it with apt-get install [03:44] Do PPAs come by default? [03:45] no, they're 3rd party repositories and not really supported in here [03:45] Hmm, ok, late nights, who knows what commands I run. === cdo2112 is now known as kjhashma [03:46] So, cinnamon doesn't work, is the conclusion? [03:47] neonpinkcrayon: you are stating it doesnt. we are saying, ppa's are not officially support, since we dont maintain the packages [03:47] if it doesn't work, then it's the fault of whoever runs the PPA you're using [03:47] Can I figure out which PPA a package came from? [03:47] you can try contacting them, or stick to officially supported software [03:48] !info ppa-purge [03:48] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr57 (trusty), package size 5 kB, installed size 44 kB [03:48] neonpinkcrayon: Just picking up on the conversation, cinnamon is in the 13.10 and less repositories. I do not recall the reason cinnamon was pulled from 14.04 . [03:48] Man, this alt+~ not working... how does a person get between multiple of the same windows easily? [03:48] neonpinkcrayon: what's the key above your tab key? [03:48] neonpinkcrayon: actually it does work, I use cinnamon on top of my ubuntu 13.10 [03:48] Bashing-om: Wait, why am I on the old version of ubuntu then? [03:48] Danato: I think I:m on 13... wondering why everyone else on 14 all of a sudden. [03:49] neonpinkcrayon: it came out in April 17th [03:49] Hey, why is there no safe solution to install PHP 5.4 on Ubuntu? [03:49] Hello [03:49] Danato: Oh, and dist-upgrade gets me there? [03:49] neonpinkcrayon: -> lsb_release -a <- .. maybe you did have cinnamon in the install prior to updating ? [03:49] Bashing-om: Perhaps, lemme just figure out this window changing stuff. [03:49] neonpinkcrayon: you need a do-release-upgrade [03:50] Ninjawarrior: because we don't keep around old versions of PHP just because people fail at updating webapps [03:50] Danato: Does that break epic amounts of stuff? :) [03:50] I'm trying to find some text in different files using grep and regex, the regex seems to be fine but grep ouputs nothing at all. What am I doing wrong? [03:50] grep -o "\{\@([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\.([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\}" /var/www/public/styles/clean/templates/* [03:50] I want to match {@whatever.whatever} [03:51] neonpinkcrayon: I'm not sure yet, I ddnt upgrade mine just yet :P [03:51] rww, it costs alot of money to upgrade webapps [03:51] it seems odd to force this business decision [03:51] why not allow support for both PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 [03:52] Ninjawarrior: because every additional package in the supported repositories is a maintenance burden, and we decided we didn't want to take that on [03:53] So, its best for me to install Ubuntu 11 if I want PHP 5.4 development machine? [03:53] No, it's best for you to upgrade your webapp. [03:53] It's not like you can continue using 5.4 forever. [03:54] Why you make it sound like 1 webapp? [03:54] its 10+ [03:54] PHP 5.4 is currently in 12.10 and 13.04. 13.04 is no longer supported. 12.10 goes End of Life shortly. [03:54] And its a big business decision [03:54] Ninjawarrior: You managed to write 10 webapps, none of which work across PHP versions? That's impressive. [03:55] I work for agency [03:55] we maintain several websites [03:55] Okay. I think I've adequately laid out how no version of Ubuntu that is supported for more than the next month or so has PHP 5.4. Have fun with that. [03:55] My undestanding is it shouldnt break as long as the new features in PHP5.5 are not utilized [03:56] ... then go do that, then [03:56] However, Im not sure if it is a good professional practice [03:56] to keep software up to date? yes, yes it is, [03:56] On Centos, its easy to choose hosting with PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5 [03:56] Right, btw, rww, for future reference my dearest, the correct answer isn't alt~. [03:56] etc etc [03:56] Why so difficult with Ubuntu? [03:57] rww: The latest satanic answer is: Whatever bloody key is above 'tab'. [03:57] neonpinkcrayon: yeah, I was assuming you were on a sane keyboard. I'll adjust my answer in future :) [03:57] Ninjawarrior: because we have a different support cycle than Centos. [03:57] rww: Since on a japanese layout keyboard the key above tab is some sinister language disruption key that suddenly morphs characters into some darkly influenced sinister form that isn't decypherable by mere humans. [03:57] rww: And alt~ were not workething. [03:58] Ninjawarrior: at least partially because Centos = RHEL = developed by a company that makes profit off of support. Ubuntu = developed by a company that doesn't make net profits at all. [03:58] rww: You're saying not making profits is a good thing? [03:58] neonpinkcrayon: nice [03:58] neonpinkcrayon: I'm not. I'm just telling it like it is. Canonical is a moneypit, Red Hat isn't. [03:59] "moneypit"? === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:59] Would it be better to create a development machine with gnome inside Centos instead? my requirements is only lamp stack, Phpstorm and sass compiler [03:59] Ninjawarrior: best ask #centos if all of that would be supported by them, and if so, sure === JCM83 is now known as tex83 [03:59] Ninjawarrior: It would. [03:59] Ninjawarrior: Be supported. [03:59] I don't really find Canonical following the whole ubuntu philosophy [04:00] maybe they did at the beginning [04:00] <[[thufir]]> I'm reading the man page on dar. I want to backup /this/bkup to /home/Dekstop . which is goes first? I don't understand the man page for explaining which path is which. [04:00] Thete: Once you have a group of people... do they ever follow a philosophy? [04:00] cool [04:00] Thete: No single organization ever can follow philosophy, look at communism.

My connection just went out [04:01] ticamai_: nope [04:01] Yeah [04:02] elky: I was thinking more in terms of epistemology :P [04:02] if you are really PHP developer, you must know there is PuPHPet https://puphpet.com/ [04:02] ticamai_: (assuming you meant some message before that one) [04:02] Brand new, unmodified, fresh install of 14.04 64-bit. Trying to install wine1.6, but this happens: http://elec.li/p/w8ks0k/ [04:02] that was the message [04:02] elky: Had to hold back my natural troll here for a minute :P [04:02] It's Xubuntu, but I'd think it still applies here too [04:02] ticamai_: have you done sudo apt-get update recently? if not, try that [04:02] rww: Yes, I have, multiple times [04:03] rww: Installed last night, did a sudo apt-get update just before trying to install wine === ticamai_ is now known as Ticamai [04:03] rww: Anyway, conclusion, human beings don't govern organizations, it is more about structure and information exchange. ie: A gamble. [04:04] do-release-upgraded, here we go... Will I have a working laptop? [04:04] Ninjawarrior: which has nothing to do with my point, which was that Canonical is not profitable :P [04:04] and I can't use a tab key [04:04] neonpinkcrayon: ^^^ [04:04] anyway [04:04] rww: American layout... It makes it too easy :P [04:04] rww: And, I respodned to Thete. [04:05] aha [04:05] Now for some reason I came on here with a question... [04:05] Oh, right, how to upgrade. [04:05] Ticamai: pastebin apt-cache show wine1.6 [04:07] rww: http://pastebin.com/nE9x1kr0 [04:08] neonpinkcrayon: try do-release-upgrade in terminal [04:09] Ticamai: run dpkg --get-selections | grep hold, pastebin output if there is any [04:09] PryMaL: I'm not doing that? [04:09] rww: No output from that [04:09] I just said I was... I know, I catch myself lying so often. [04:10] Ticamai: okays. Take your original paste, take the first package on the error list, try installing it (so sudo apt-get install wine1.6-i386), see if it gives a more useful error, if not repeat [04:11] Ticamai: or install aptitude and try sudo aptitude install wine1.6. either way. [04:11] why not "wine" instead of wine1.6 [04:11] hi guys, im trying to install a fresh ubuntu on dads older acer aspire-5000 for my brother, (14.04), but the installer stops at "configuring kernel". what to do? tried both 32 and 64-bit installers. [04:11] Ben64: because they're the same thing [04:11] Ben64: wine is just a metapackage depending on wine1.6 [04:11] i'm thinking the wine package will pull in everything it needs [04:12] rww: It has no installation candidate [04:12] Ticamai: pastebin apt-cache policy [04:12] Ben64: the only thing it depends on is wine1.6, so no :P [04:13] Ticamai: what is the output of "uname -a" ? you can paste it in here, its just one line [04:13] how can I find out what flags the packaged kernel I'm using was built with? [04:13] Ben64: Linux digiengine 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:14] rww: http://pastebin.com/pWQZ70yf [04:14] Ademan: cat /boot/config-`uname -r` [04:15] hey guys, trying to get a second display up and running.. I've got 2 R9 270x's in this machine with a monitor connected to the dvi-i port on each. While both adapters show up in both the atisysteminforeport and in lspci, I'm getting no love from the second card. I've tried enabling it in amdcccle and after reboot that device is re-disabled. I'm running xubuntu 14.04. [04:15] Ticamai: weird. apt-cache policy wine1.6-i386 [04:16] wondering if anyone could shed a little light on it? [04:16] rww: Using my own site, faster to put it in, hope you dont mind: http://elec.li/p/84wgw4/ [04:17] also, amd's drivers direct from their site don't install on 14.04, had to use the software center to install fglrx [04:18] Ticamai: that's perfectly fine. Apologies for all the pastebinning, we're crossing off possibilities. pastebin the entire output of sudo apt-get update? [04:18] Trusty Tahr [04:21] rww: http://elec.li/p/ckc08o/ also, disappearing for a second [04:21] when i ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/7342417/ [04:22] basketball: you have quantal sources [04:23] i run 14.04 [04:23] basketball: sure.. but you are using quantal sources with it.. thats not a good idea [04:23] what do i run [04:24] basketball: quantal sources in trusty.. you can read them in the list you gave [04:24] basketball: one of the gpg key verification errors are for one of the quantal sources [04:24] holstein, what command do i run in terminal [04:25] basketball: you can refer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/13065/how-do-i-fix-the-gpg-error-no-pubkey among other links for those GPG errors, but you need to fix your system [04:25] basketball: you need to have only trusty sources for trust [04:25] how do i do that [04:25] rww: Back [04:26] holstein, how do i remove them [04:26] ticamai: if it still doesn't work after that update, I have no idea [04:26] basketball: depends, friend.. i may want to just reinstall, if too many packages have been mixed in [04:26] basketball: its a bad idea... [04:26] basketball: you cant always just change the sources after you have mixed them up like that [04:27] i did a fresh install last week [04:27] Ben64: thanks! [04:27] impressive time-to-breakage [04:27] rww: Nope, still doesn't work. Interesting. [04:27] basketball: ok.. since then, you have added sources for the incorrect operating system [04:27] ok let me ask you this [04:28] !ask > basketball [04:28] basketball, please see my private message [04:28] is there a way to make a new live cd that when i install ubuntu it will automatically insall certain programs [04:29] basketball: sure.. but, not programs from the incorrect operating system sources [04:29] what do you mean [04:29] hi there, i went to recovery console root login, and tried to remove a package, but it says this, http://postimg.org/image/lhk3eng4x/ [04:29] why am i not able to remove packages from the recovery console ? [04:29] basketball: i mean, you cant add packages from the incorrect sources, friend. [04:30] so i need to reinstall no mater what [04:32] so if something was in 3.7 it ought to be in 3.8 shouldn't it? [04:32] kernel, that is, since version numbers by themselves are a bit ambiguous potentially [04:32] basketball: you need to *not* run sources for the incorrect operating system.. as i said, depending on what has been installed, i would likely prefer to reinstall to "fix" that [04:33] silv3r_m00n: in recovery mode the file system is read only, then -> mount -o remount,rw / <- to remount for write . [04:34] Hey, I'm doing an "other installation type" to install Ubuntu 14.04. I have a fat32 partition to install to, but I want to switch it to something else (ext4?), shrink it, and enlarge the swap partition after it. Can I do that from "Installation type" screen? [04:35] skierpage, it should be clear when it begins to ask you about where you want to install it to [04:35] you just choose other [04:35] or you can use one of the predefined ones if you think it will work out for oyu [04:36] the choices will be like : "Install and erase eveything, install along -side another os, __ other__ [04:36] bluezone, yeah, none of those. So I did choose "Other", now I'm at this "Installation type" that shows all my partitions. [04:37] I know how to adjust them with gparted, maybe I should quit the installer and adjust from that. [04:37] yeah you can do that from the live cd [04:37] sudo apt-get install gparted [04:38] bluezone FYI no need to install, it's already there. [04:38] oh [04:39] heh, after changing them and clicking apply the gparted window vanished. "gpartedbin[15385]: segfault at 215d00" . [04:39] O.o [04:39] Maybe a bad idea to have the installer and gparted running at the same time. [04:40] yes [04:40] lol [04:41] is it possible to build a kernel module out of a couple of files that *should* have been in the kernel but weren't included for some reason? [04:41] now I can't quit the Install. Click Quit, "Do you really want to quit the installation now?" dialog, click [Quit], spinning cursor, repeat [04:42] bahhhhh, do you have anything important on your drive? [04:42] looks like it is possible, brb though [04:45] skierpage: have you compared mdsums? looks like you image file is faulty [04:46] I had an Edit partition dialog behind the Install window (so maybe Install can adjust partitions). But I Cancel'd that, and still can't quit the Install. [04:46] tozen I doubt that very much, live USB booted fine, installer looks good [04:47] skierpage so you did not check but you're assuming your source ISO is valid... [04:47] * cfhowlett considers the 2 minutes it takes to verify integrity to be time well spent [04:49] congrats gals! utopic unicorn 14.10 is landed, I'm on it already... ;P [04:49] !ubuntu+1|tozen [04:49] tozen: Utopic Unicorn is the codename for Ubuntu 14.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [04:51] cfhowlett: thx for info! perhaps will be needed for future. ;) [04:51] tozen happy to help [04:51] cfhowlett, tozen Good point. So I go back to "Download Ubuntu Desktop", click Not now, take me to the download ›, and it starts downloading. No mention of mdsums. Do I only get those if I tip? :) [04:51] !md5sum|skierpage [04:51] skierpage: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:52] !hashes| skierpage [04:52] skierpage: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases [04:52] thanks! [04:52] my mistake, there's a "View Ubuntu’s md5 hashes". [04:52] skierpage to be absolutely sure, verify both the ISO you downloaded and the USB. instructions refer to "verify CD" but the process is identical [04:53] skierpage IMO direct downloads break far more often than torrents. [04:56] I'm trying to find pycharm in the repositories. How do I search for it without necessarily installing it? [04:56] !info pycharm [04:56] Package pycharm does not exist in trusty [04:56] cfhowlett yeah that's not the package name [04:56] and I'm downloading the tarball [04:57] but I'm thinking surely it exists in a repository and I'm just not yet knowing how to search repositories [04:57] I could do like apt-get install *pycharm* [04:57] but I'd rather get a list of things fitting that first [04:58] tex83: to search the repository -> apt-cache search ; info -> apt-cache show . [04:58] nice [04:58] apt-cache [04:58] I didn't know that [04:59] is there an apt family of programs? [04:59] tex83: never ending learning processes !

The odds seem far higher that running gparted and the installer at the same time is a bad idea, than my live USB is corrupted. Anyway I sudo kill -HUP'd ubiquity processes and will run gparted on its own. [05:04] how do i make a sleeping process run ? [05:05] joshlegs: how did it fall asleep [05:06] dw1: dont really know tbh :S [05:06] htop shows it in state "s" [05:06] tex83: Other manuals -> https://wiki.debian.org/Apt , http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_more_readings_for_the_package_management.

[05:08] joshlegs: the man page just says it means idle [05:08] close [05:08] dw1: yeah that's what i thought :'( [05:09] joshlegs: just means its not doin anything at the moment [05:10] tex83: 'apt-cache search grep | charm'researchg yields -> Tools for maintaining Juju charms ; is that what you had in mind ?

[05:23] hi there, i went to recovery console root login, and tried to remove a package, but it says this, http://postimg.org/image/lhk3eng4x/ [05:23] why am i not able to remove packages from recovery console ? [05:23] seems like enlightenment [05:23] Ninjawarrior: well, it's the compiz window manager and the Unity dock, heads-up display, etc. [05:24] Hey y'all I'm putting pycharm on the new Trusty Tahr. Getting this message: [05:24] ERROR: Cannot start PyCharm\nNo JDK found. Please validate either PYCHARM_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation. [05:24] Is this just that I haven't put JDK on the new install?

[05:50] I'm installing Ubuntu 14.04 on Mac OS X dual-boot with rEFInd. I chose "Something else", it presents me a list of partitions. How do I indicate which one I want to use for root file system?

Please correct this from the partitioning menu." I don't see a partitioning menu in the "Something else" partition window [05:56] lotuspsychje, sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [05:56] clue_h: tnx lemme try [05:57] lotuspsychje, then you can view them by running start up applications program === [1]delerium_ is now known as delerium_ [05:58] clue_h: tnx mate, it worked! isnt there a GUI package that can manage the same or a dconf trick? [05:59] lotuspsychje, a gui for that may be too much but there might be in dconf a setting for that- but i dont have it installed. [06:00] clue_h: ok tnx, ill work with your tweak for now ; ) [06:00] i want to expose port 8080 on a vm as port 8888 on the host of the vm. iptables? cant figure it out. can anyone spare a clue? [06:00] lotuspsychje, its not mine its something i google every time on a new install lol [06:00] i should write it down [06:01] clue_h: what did you disable as services yourself? [06:01] sup !!! [06:02] lotuspsychje, it depends, some i disable at boot, using update-rcd thing disable, remove the thing, or do what you did [06:02] clue_h: ok [06:02] MrCurious: what VM system are you using? It's called port forwarding, you can do it in the VirtualBox GUI [06:02] sometimes its just a conf file and you say false :] [06:03] openstack [06:03] dudes..... i need some help on partitions and all ! [06:03] MrCurious: I'm not sure about that, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=OpenStack+port+forwarding :) [06:04] !ask | jjjjjjjj [06:04] jjjjjjjj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [06:05] skierpage: only asked here because i had exhausted my google mojo, and that was the first search i tried. [06:06] k.... i have dual booted my system with win8 ,and i want to distribute my ubuntu partition to windows , how can i do so !?! [06:07] not sure thats possible [06:07] view it in windows? [06:07] perhaps i dont use windows enough :P [06:07] same here [06:07] but is there any way of doing so ? [06:08] you can view windows partitions in ubuntu tho i know that [06:08] MrCurious: sorry I can't help. [06:08] but last time i checked i could view stuff in the linux partition [06:08] Windows can't read ext2/3/4 [06:08] file systems that is [06:08] jjjjjjjj: Ubuntu can mount your windows partition and you can share stuff in that. [06:09] really how ? [06:09] ahh there is an app for that [06:09] jjjjjjjj, and if you want to share between them both, maybe a partition for that, to place files in, a 3rd partition [06:09] jjjjjjjj: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/access-ubuntu-from-windows-7 [06:09] that both know how to read [06:10] my windows are automatically mounted in ubuntu just have to click the drive in Nautilus [06:10] Hey all, I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and upon the reboot, It booted to a black screen. I'm able to ctrl+alt+f2 into a terminal and it says I'm on 14.04. How should I go about troubleshooting this? [06:11] otherwise try the Disk Utility to mount.. [06:11] lemi check that link ! [06:11] jjjjjjjj: I have Kubuntu set up that way. It mounts /dev/sda1 on /mnt/WindowsVistadrive , and I set up symlinks in my home directory to /mnt/WindowsVistadrive/Users/Default/Music, etc. [06:11] afflicto: try enter grub and recoverymode [06:11] lotuspsychje: ok [06:12] afflicto: then choose failsafeX from the recoverymode [06:12] lotuspsychje: k [06:13] afflicto: if you have nvidia graphics try sudo apt-get install nvidia current and reboot [06:13] afflicto: nvidia-current [06:13] jjjjjjjj: that link is if you have stuff in a Linux partition that you want to access from Windows. It is a LOT easier to put stuff on the Windows partition, and then you can access it from Linux. I keep my Firefox profile, and mail files on the NTFS partition, works great. [06:14] dw1: ok well I have AMD :P [06:14] afflicto: dont know bout that [06:14] afflicto: either theres a package or can download proprietary.. [06:14] lotuspsychje: I selected failsafeX, and choosed "Yes" about mounting filesystem. Now it's just a blinking underscore at the bottom. [06:15] afflicto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [06:15] afflicto: that doesnt sound very good then [06:15] afflicto: is ubuntu-desktop installed [06:15] lotuspsychje: I suppose not :( [06:16] dw1: Don't know, what is that? [06:16] afflicto: maybe a trusty clean install might run smoother :p [06:16] actually i want to give 200 gb of my linux partition to windows .... so is there any app to distribute partition among other os [06:16] afflicto: you need it for GUi [06:16] !info gparted | jjjjjjjj [06:16] jjjjjjjj: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.18.0-1 (trusty), package size 527 kB, installed size 1880 kB [06:16] I finally figured out the install other screen: double-click the partition or select and click [Change...], then choose Use as (current format or change to ext4), and *then* you can choose to mount it as /. [06:16] afflicto: should be installed [06:16] #other partition means windows ! [06:16] afflicto: if you have a network connection do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop just to be sure [06:17] dw1: ok [06:18] dw1: already the newest version [06:18] afflicto: failsafeX ..... ? [06:18] afflicto: maybe the driver then [06:18] dw1: failsafeX didn't work [06:18] jjjjjjjj: yes, gparted to shrink your linux partition, then create new partition in the leftover, format as ntfs. If you want to enlarge your Windows partition, I'm not sure gparted will move one of them "out of the way", you may have to back the Linux partition up. [06:18] afflicto: saw you mention that.. dont know what that means [06:18] maybe try cat /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/Xorg.log. Because you could get to the console when it booted up. [06:19] k lotuspsychje , ubottu ... let me check about gparted [06:19] afflicto: maybe fix broken packages on recoverymode might help [06:19] afflicto: you can check the bottom of /var/log/Xorg.0.log which might say something, or run startx to see if theres an error [06:20] dw1: k [06:20] afflicto: driver information is in links above....... === barbossa is now known as barbossa_ === barbossa_ is now known as barb0ssa === barb0ssa is now known as barbossa- [06:22] dw1: I tried fixing broken packages in recovery mode. Same thing, purple UI. blinking Underscore at the bottom. [06:22] dw1: seems it might have trouble mounting the filesystem :S [06:22] ! [06:23] afflicto: i thought ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 got you to terminal, where its mounted ? [06:24] dw1: it does. I thought you said I should fix broken packages through recovery mode :P [06:24] afflicto: not me :) [06:24] afflicto: i would go install 14.04 clean [06:24] lotuspsychje: hm I really don't want to. I kinda don't have backup of some files. [06:25] its prob just video driver [06:25] what does Xorg.0.log say [06:26] dw1: yeah it seems so [06:26] dw1: let me see. [06:26] :) [06:26] BTW there's definitely a bug in the ubiquity "Something else" > Installation type screen: while the Edit partition dialog is shown, the main window remains active. It should be a modal dialog [06:26] Is there a way to reset/purge old network connection instances on a Ubuntu install, as I now get things like /dev/eth103 rather than /dev/eth0 on connection ( it's a USB stick bootable Ubuntu system ) [06:27] inflex, can you get to edit connections and remove the old saved ones === jjjjjjjj is now known as jayesh [06:28] clue_h: was going to try go for the source on boot, since I basically want it to forget all old/previous connections each time ( it's a test/debugging setup for systems ) [06:28] afflicto, also, dmesg | grep error [06:29] dw1: Found something... atiddxDriScreenInit failed. Probably kernel module missing or incompatible. DRI Initialization failed. kernel module (fglrx.ko) may be emissing or incompatible.... [06:29] afflicto: was your former driver installed from commandline ? [06:29] afflicto: if so, usually you have to run that again after kernel update [06:31] dw1: uhm. last time I installed graphics drivers, I used to Software Updates app. I choose the proprietary-updated drivers. [06:31] clue_h: might purge /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and then restart networking [06:31] inflex, maybe a script that removes files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ [06:31] it seems to be interface, not network manager related...... [06:31] inflex, on boot [06:32] clue_h: ja [06:32] afflicto: hmm.. need package name.. or else can go to the web site and download [06:32] afflicto: oh package names @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [06:33] afflicto: sudo apt-get install fglrx-installer [06:33] afflicto: maybe [06:34] upgrades are always tricky [06:34] dw1: what about the fglrx-installer-updates ? [06:35] afflicto: id prob try the first one first [06:35] dw1: ok [06:35] inflex, i think an easier way, would be to go to start up applications and add your bash script there === Danato_ is now known as Danato [06:37] dw1: unable to locate package fglrx-installer :\ [06:37] dw1: maybe I need to apt-get update.. [06:37] afflicto: maybe or can download the ubuntu package manually, no worries [06:38] afflicto: 64 bit ? === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [06:38] afflicto: wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2/+build/5886324/+files/fglrx-amdcccle_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb" [06:39] afflicto: wait no [06:39] afflicto: wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2/+build/5886324/+files/fglrx_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb" [06:39] afflicto: dont know what the cccle is all about :p [06:39] afflicto: its much smaller [06:39] keyboard shortcuts does not appear with a screen resolution of 1024x600 [06:40] afflicto: then just dpkg -i the .deb file [06:41] hello guys [06:42] I have a question,should i install the nvidia 334 drivers or stay on 331? [06:42] dw1: ok, downloaded. Now just dpkg -i file.deb? [06:42] afflicto: yup [06:42] linuxuser1000: prob not much difference [06:42] linuxuser1000: unless youre one of those guys who wants +2 fps :P [06:43] i tried 334 yesterday and it made my unity not start [06:43] dw1: conflicts with something already installed. I should uninstall what I have first, right? [06:43] and not even gnome-shell would start [06:43] afflicto: what does it conflict with........ [06:44] dw1: dpkg: regarding fglrx_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb containing fglrx: fglrx conflicts with fglrx-driver. fglrx-updates provides fglrx-driver and is present and installed. [06:44] remove fglrx-updates [06:44] dw1: I should remove fglrx-updates then? [06:44] yeah [06:45] afflicto: can replace id think [06:45] sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx-updates [06:45] than try installing it [06:45] whop.. Just did "remove fglrx-updates". [06:45] afflicto: or get the new -updates... but you may already have it and it doesnt work :/ [06:46] my nvidia was a pain in the butt enough [06:46] lol [06:46] afflicto: dpkg-reconfigure on the existing package might have done something too [06:46] afflicto: but too late :P [06:46] dw1: hehe. I'm installing the new .deb now [06:47] damn these proprietary drivers are annoying [06:47] I love being on Intel built-in graphics: worse performance but no graphics driver issues :) [06:47] done. shall I reboot? [06:47] afflicto: you're the man. make the call :p [06:47] * afflicto crosses his fingers [06:47] i hope ati isn't as bad as nvidia [06:48] linuxuser1000, that is problematic sometimes too [06:48] i just use nvidia-current and have no probs..... [06:48] what version is that? [06:48] [06:48] is it 304 or something [06:48] whatever's current. :) [06:48] The 14.04 installer is great but a 2-row teeny terminal window for details and no resize is weak. [06:48] its on another comp cant look [06:49] oh yeah it is 304 [06:49] linuxuser1000: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/nvidia-current yeah [06:49] i'm running nvidia-331 from the additional drivers [06:50] livin' on the edge [06:50] dw1: nope. black still :\ [06:50] afflicto: Xorg.0.log .....

[06:55] dw1: k [06:55] afflicto, lets assume its unrelated, which it probably is :] [06:55] clue_h: :P [06:57] dw1: ok done. It was just 1 package. fglrx. [06:57] dw1: what now, install the dpkg I downloaded again? [06:57] afflicto: try reboot with no driver [06:57] dw1: oh, ok.

[07:03] no prob [07:03] next guy gets super fast solution :) [07:03] hey afflicto did you try the additional drivers? [07:03] hi [07:04] k linuxuser1000 let me try it ! [07:04] imagine all 1650 users said hi back [07:04] lol dw1 .... dat would look great [07:04] hello? [07:04] afflicto try the additional drivers' [07:04] that solved mine [07:06] additional drivers might put him back to square one lol [07:06] how? [07:06] open source drivers tend to just work [07:06] i had to install mine cause steam [07:06] whooh! I installed the proprietary drivers. it works now xD [07:06] same driver, fglrx-updates [07:07] from additional or manually?

Kept track of my old Linux after rearranging partitions, detected the live USB and offered 3 boot options, offers the newly installed Linux. [07:09] linuxuser1000: but that is just for creating a network connection but here my device is not detecting [07:09] 6 second boot time. [07:10] gnome-session is already the newest version [07:10] mine does appear though [07:10] \o/ 2012 MacBook Air, 128GB SSD [07:11] in the terminal i mean [07:12] linuxuser1000: i tried to set up new device .... and set the category as modem but it is not detecting any modem there [07:13] ok Now I can log in to gnome flashback (compiz) and (metacity)... is this the old gnome 2? or gnome shell 3? [07:14] it's gnome 3 that looks like gnome 2 [07:14] and you can run compiz on it [07:15] aha.. cool I can haz wobbly windows then. XD [07:15] wobbly windows for fun lol [07:15] and don't forget the cube [07:16] the cube, yes ofc [07:16] i'm gonna try updating to 334 lol [07:16] my nvidia [07:16] I saw a youtube video where a guy had some many compiz effects it was just ridicolius.

[07:36] zZeus: peeps gotta google http://askubuntu.com/questions/75755/how-to-change-the-lightdm-theme-greeter [07:36] Let's see if this helps me [07:36] zZeus, have you looked in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ [07:36] back [07:37] dw1, there isn't a file named lightdm.conf in that location that contains the "greeter" field [07:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM [07:37] i wonder why i had to install the nvidia 331 drivers first [07:37] and than install 334 [07:37] clue_h, yes, nothing in there that contains "greeter" [07:38] not even 50-unity-greeter.conf? [07:38] how do i check if i successfuly upgraded the driver? [07:38] I have those files, but which one is the main one that I edit [07:38] Such that I can pick an actual greeter [07:39] linuxuser1000, how did you install the nvidia 334 driver? [07:39] i would think they are all the greeter [07:40] through the .run file [07:40] Lots of stuff defining [SeatDefault] [07:40] but i had to install 331 first otherwise it would crash my system [07:40] and now my nvidia settings says i'm running 334 [07:40] hmm? [07:41] is there a terminal command to check the version of the driver installed? [07:41] at this point i should probably ask for an off topic channel [07:41] linuxuser1000, that one is unsupported. use ' nvidia-smi ' to see the current driver [07:42] linuxuser1000, that would give you the same number [07:42] NVIDIA-SMI 334.21 Driver Version: 334.21 [07:43] hi. anybody knows how could I uninstall this conky http://www.noobslab.com/2013/01/install-basic-conky-in-ubuntulinux.html [07:44] masoudborbor: sudo apt-get remove --purge conky conky-all [07:44] masoudborbor: you installed with apt-get install so now remove, and the --purge option removes config files and stuff [07:45] dwl thank you very much [07:45] masoudborbor: no prob [07:45] dw1, thank you very much [07:45] Thanks folks for your help.

The installation screen worked fine. It's something that Ubuntu uses that my computer doesn't like. [08:37] I love ubuntu, and I wanted to switch over my gaming PC to play video-games here, but if it can't work right out of the box, im speechless... [08:37] OerHeks: any idea? [08:37] does xorg-edgers give you proprietary? [08:37] thanks for the info on unity guys, it's just what i needed. [08:38] purge removed that ppa, nothing changed. :( [08:38] do you have any suggestion on what i should do, to have a 100% success rate with ubuntu? some kernel that cant go wrong [08:39] anyone using port mirroring from a switch to linux server? [08:40] Node_865, a clean install, no additional drivers, is what i did to get my graphics working again [08:40] I have a wired problem to ask [08:40] when i touch removable device in my uefi settings ubuntu won't boot [08:41] clue_h, this was a clean installation, in hope of fixing this issue:( [08:41] Node_865, which version of ubuntu?

[08:41] uefi setting sucks in ubuntu [08:42] Node_865, have you tried installing 14.04? [08:42] this is 14.04 [08:42] i had the issue in 13.04, and formated to 14.04 in hopes of solving the issue, right off the bat same problem. [08:42] should i try downgrading to 12.04? [08:42] or is there any motherboard drivers, etc, i should install?

I know absolutely nothing about drivers. I might suggest checking kernel logs in /var/log/error.log, /var/log/kern.log, but someone else should help with them. [09:16] Also, it's not more than that, I think it's the default crash message. [09:17] howto: check logs.. dmesg .. dpkg -l | grep to find driver remnants to purge ... install nvidia-current?

[09:26] yep. no change. :( [09:27] System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now?

[10:26] 4-5 years [10:26] Ah [10:26] fyi I installed Nvidia drivers, nothing happening t hough [10:28] hello everyone [10:28] sgo11: perhaps it wants libpcre++-dev ? [10:28] dw1, I installed it too. it still has the same error. [10:29] sgo11: perhaps you can manually specify the path to the file it wants.. [10:29] dw1, ok. let me see... [10:30] sgo11: and/or figure out what file exactly [10:30] sgo11: hack the script :) [10:30] dw1, :) thanks.

I have that issue. I opened a bug before 14.04 release. actually I opened many bugs related to graphics. [10:35] you have my bug? [10:36] also, ubuntu + nvidia is totally broken for me [10:36] graphical glitches, hangups, etc, even using current drivers [10:36] wahsbai: Have you tried Nouveau? [10:36] i don't believe so [10:36] bug #1288572 bug #1296020 bug #1297090 [10:36] bug 1288572 in gnome-shell "Nvidia driver does not work in Ubuntu GNOME trusty "14.04" (Optimus laptop) " [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1288572 [10:36] bug 1296020 in ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) "[Asus U36JC] Non-existent display detected in both intel driver and nvidia driver (Optimus Laptop) (ubuntu trusty 14.04)" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1296020 [10:36] bug 1297090 in nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) "nvidia-settings can not detect any real displays/monitors (trusty) (Optimus Laptop)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1297090 [10:36] i reinstalled ubuntu around 10-20 times [10:37] wahsbai: I recommend you to install Nouveau; if you don't play games that requiere high perfomance, you'll be fine till a patch is released [10:37] okay [10:38] I'm enabling it in my settings [10:38] !nouveau [10:38] nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. [10:38] I enabled it in additional drivers [10:38] wahsbai: now you have to restart computer [10:39] What about ubuntu looping lock screen and a black screen when a hdmi is connected?

[10:39] so is it a bug? [10:40] wahsbai: guess so [10:40] I will restart my computer [10:40] and try with this open source driver [10:41] wahsbai, yeah, you can see that is marked as critical. I opened this bug one month before 14.04 release. [10:41] great [10:41] good luck to you! [10:41] wahsbai: did it work with 13.10? [10:41] i had 13.10 in my laptop SSD, decided to switch over, so i pulled it in my main computer, I had exact issue as that bug [10:41] so i thought a reformat to 14.04 would solve the issue [10:42] but it was same, graphical issues, changing resolution whenever i went into settings [10:42] wahsbai: what is your problem? [10:42] Anyone else with the hdmi error: did it work with 13.10? [10:43] when i forced my x.org to 1920x1080 in nvidia control panel, the only issue i had was that my monitor went black for 2 seconds whenever I went into system settings/audio settings or anything in general. my monitor changed to Unknown/CRT-0, when I shut down settings and repeated, it changed back, and vice-versa [10:44] but I will restart now with noveau drivers and try it out, thanks, ill come back and tell u [10:44] from my regular monitor name to unknown/CRT-0 was the switch [10:44] unknown/crt-0 was automatically in 1060x768 or something, before i forced into 1920x1080 [10:50] samba domain controller setup working with 14.04 ? [10:51] hello im back [10:51] the problem persists with the open-source drivers [10:52] it's actually much worse than using the nvidia drivers [10:53] it is flickering constantly, black screen, and it changes position: when i took a screenshot it looks a lot better than it actually is [10:53] http://i.imgur.com/iuhbfC9.png [10:53] here is a screenshot [10:54] wahsbai: have you tried actually fidelling with the config file of nvidia? [10:54] aka whatever.maybetext [10:55] i think that the nvidia drivers are broken [10:55] what version are you using? [10:56] well [10:56] it must be something else [10:56] wahsbai: you could also look at the console for specific errors and message nVidia about it [10:56] because both nvidia, and the nouvea drivers are giving me graphical glitches, resolution changing 24/7 [10:56] im using the nouvea open source drivers [10:56] that come with ubuntu [10:57] someone told me that ubuntu will work with it: same issue [10:57] wahsbai: so you've been having these problems since you installed? [10:57] almost worse than with the nvidia drivers [10:57] what processor do you have? [10:57] i have intel i7 2600k [10:57] hi there [10:58] i been having these graphical issues since i installed [10:58] i have 4 partitions mounted for samba shares... 2 ntfs and 2 are ext4... for some reason when i go on a remote machine running windows 7 i am able to access the shares.. i set up the permissions for all of the shares the same. i cannot write to the ext4 shares. anyone have this problem ever? did i miss somthing? [10:58] wahsbai: hmmm, well you could try using it's on board video to work with light weight stuff for a while instead [10:58] well the intel integrated cpu works perfect [10:58] no issues [10:59] meaning!? [10:59] if i go into BIOS and select iGFX as my GPU primary, it uses intel hd 3000 graphics instead of my nvidia card that doesnt run [10:59] all the problem comes with having an nvidia card [11:00] Im using Ubuntu 12.04 with XFCE and updated my system yesterday. After a reboot the windows lack the "close, maximize, minimize" bars and all my XFCE settings (such as shortcut for maximize) are not loaded, I only have one workspace etc. How to fix that? [11:00] jeregon, im going to approach this issue in a different kind of way [11:00] ok so, you've tried it haha... in what kind of new way? [11:09] Would running "do-release-upgrade" on a dedicated server with just a commandline be a *bad* idea? [11:10] ItsYoda after a proper backup of data? don't see why it should be. [11:10] Mk. Thanks [11:12] hello, im new to ubuntu from windows, want to play games with steam but im having issuses, the resolution keeps switching around, and getting black screens between that for few seconds [11:12] first time installing [11:15] i got this error Could not switch the monitor configuration could not set the configuration for CRTC 9 === eliza is now known as Guest42622 [11:21] hi when running minecraft, it seams that it somehow locks sound to just java (so for example i cant play background music), version is 13.10 java versions test are open jdk 7 and oracle java 8.

[11:30] howto: k [11:31] howto: install the 13.10 instead [11:31] howto: if 14.04 doesn't work better or as good as 13.10 i'll downgrade [11:31] a question though, if I select Erase disk and install Ubuntu, which disk will it erase? [11:31] theres no reason to install 13.10 [11:31] howto: no idea [11:31] howto: just choose manual setup [11:31] 13.10 loses support in less than 3 months [11:32] Ben64: nah i installed 14.04 on a friends comp and it crashed each hours [11:32] hour* [11:32] I'm guessing sda? [11:32] ok, that still doesn't make it a good idea to install 13.10 [11:32] mmmm yeah [11:32] you're right maybe 12.04 would be better [11:32] or figure out the problem and use 14.04 [11:33] mmmm that takes time.... [11:33] Anyone? [11:33] howto: choose manual setup [11:33] howto: whichever disk it tells you it will erase [11:33] cause my data in sdb is very important [11:33] have backups or unplug that drive then to be sure [11:33] can't u see on for example the label which partitaion is which [11:33] Upgraded to 14.04 and no panels in gnome flashback mode(metacity) and gnome flashback mode (compiz) has only unity style side menu. [11:34] How do install lubuntu and xubuntu on top of ubuntu - Hey, how could install the xfce and lxde desktop managers on top of ubuntu, so I can choose which one I want to use at the grub boot menu? [11:34] mmm afaik u can just install them with for example tasksel and choose when u login.... [11:34] peterpacz1: you wouldn't choose them at grub, you'd choose when you're logging into ubuntu. [11:34] lol 2 seconds difference [11:35] Ben64: Yes, something like that. I'd wish have all the files, system settings, etc the same. Just that I have the choice to choose the desktop manager [11:35] are that important changes to my apache2.conf ? [11:35] How would I do that? [11:35] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/1Tty2OP8 [11:35] So we need an efi partition, about 200 mb, anything else? [11:35] howto: swap [11:35] howto: and system partition [11:35] How can I get the gnome classic experience in 14.04 [11:36] peterpacz1: i think that would work if you just install them in tasksel [11:36] peterpacz1: then use the software center and install either the xfce and/or lxde or the whole packages, like xubuntu-desktop and/or lubuntu-desktop. doing the latter will give you extra terminals and text editors and stuff, not sure if you want all that [11:36] iDaniel: how big should they be? [11:36] howto: which? [11:36] howto: swap is if your ram is full [11:36] howto: then it writes to swap instead [11:36] howto: so if u have like 32GB ram [11:36] Lol I have 16gb of ram [11:36] howto: u can take a small swapo [11:36] howto: take 4GB [11:37] howto: better then a too small one [11:37] howto: or how large is your hdd? [11:37] Ben64: Thanks. I am doing this because I have a install of ubuntu on a portable hard drive, and I'd want to use it to boot into other computers, both high end and low end. So is installing different display managers a good idea? [11:37] (mine is 2TB so it doesn't matter) [11:38] peterpacz1: depends what you want. it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to have multiple [11:38] Ok, just efi and swap? [11:38] howto: yeah and then the system partition.... [11:38] howto: if u have an old computer without efi you don't ned one :) [11:38] Ben64: Well, Id want it to work on all sorts of computers, redundency in a sense. So if the computer couldn't cope with unity, I can use xfce, for example. [11:39] peterpacz1: makes sense [11:39] * iDaniel records the whole upgrade process with 1fps for sure [11:39] LOL [11:40] Ben64: Also, in the sake of redundency, would I also need to install multiple wireless drivers, in order to compensate if someone's computer is using broadcom, for example?

[12:05] ok, filing a bug... [12:08] what lib or api is suitable for drawing dynamic curve like cpu utilization [12:15] does rsync's -z affect local copy operations at all, or does it only apply when transferring data via network? [12:17] Only network, An_Ony_Moose [12:18] nezZario: ok, thanks! [12:18] It wouldn't make sense to compress the "transfer" for a mv operation -- it only compresses the transfer, not the destination / end result =) [12:19] So guys, I've been a ltitle annoyed with Ubuntu lately. No matter what, it seems determined to make me walk into the next room everytime I have to reboot [12:20] nezZario: I know, I was asking because I wasn't sure if it wouldn't be better to leave out -z for my thing [12:20] (habit makes me type -avzP :P ) [12:21] For one, I added some entries to /etc/fstab for three USB drives .. When I boot and the usb drives aren't present, it prompts me during boot .. This is a headless home server. What's making it do that? [12:21] An_Ony_Moose: I'm pretty sure -z will have no effect for local tranasfers [12:21] So it's OK that you have it [12:22] hello again [12:22] i have one more question [12:22] Hey guys.

All my configuration is the same so this has left me scratching my head, I got xorg all straightened out but after about 8 hours my monitors go into standby and I can't get them back. I can ssh in and reboot it but that's all. Anyone have any ideas? [13:02] loucal: i disable all sleep and standby stuff [13:02] not sure where the setting is in the unity toolbar. i mostly use ubuntu on my moms computer [13:02] nezZario: oh, i think i got the err: its in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg [13:03] but i disable everything to keep things like this from happening, as she is low vision [13:03] dcmg: thanks but that was the first thing I did [13:03] and I don't use unity, I use fluxbox [13:04] well in that case you really do need to just adjust xorg [13:04] nezZario: thanks for your help [13:04] make sure there is no background daemon from unity still running [13:04] and try making a .Xdefaults file [13:05] maybe try `xset s noblank' [13:06] i runs a script like this: [13:06] xsetroot -solid black ; xrandr --output CRT1 --mode 1400x1050 ; xset s off ; xset -dpms ; xset s noblank [13:06] works for me, idk [13:07] for dual monitors it would be something like: [13:07] xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS1 [13:07] replace the designations with your device names from the output of `xrandr' [13:07] designations are "VGA1" "CRT1" and et cetera [13:08] yeah I get what you are doing there but that is kind of hacky for something that was working fine for months... I use xset on my machines when I need to do something 'special'... I just want this to stay on [13:08] 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 [13:08] 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 [13:08] loucal: well at least you know how to do it now [13:09] sometimes it takes a hack to fix a borked system [13:09] dcmg... I'm already familiar with it but nothing there is permanent is my point [13:09] sure there is, put it in your Xdefaults file [13:10] the syntax is just a little different [13:10] ? xdefaults isnt for bash commands [13:10] no [13:10] like here is mine: [13:10] cat .Xdefaults [13:10] xterm*background: black [13:10] i know it isn't [13:10] stuff like that, controls Xorg, xterm and all of its tools [13:10] anyway you have a nasty attitude [13:11] hey guys, the alt+f2 command makes my unity crash. does anyone else have this issue?

[13:15] you're welcome not to answer dcmg, I really don't care what you think of my attitude, but I'm simply trying to stop you from wasting your time, also I have in the past tried setting an Xdefaults file as well as an Xresources file and neither settings were picked up so we must have different setups. Either way, setting everything via xset isn't what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your help but that solution isn't what I'm looking for. Is t [13:15] better?

[14:22] module000: still thats what im looking for [14:22] Tomorrow I was tried and they tried to help me [14:22] :( [14:23] gartral: you'll need to pull the sources and compile it then. you wont' get support for that here, the licensing snafu with the mozilla artwork(the single reason iceweasel exists) isn't a problem with anyone but the TC in deb [14:23] gartral: arora maybe [14:24] i know there's a liscencing snafu, but read http://www.huffingtonpost.com/becky-hayes/mozillas-anti-gay-ceo-hast_b_5129335.html [14:24] that's the reason i'm dropping 'real' firefox for an alternative [14:24] gartral: you realize iceweasel *is* firefox though, 100% identical codebase. someone has changed the icons and moniker, nothing else. you are still sending bug reports to the mozilla foudation for example if you click "report issue" [14:25] gartral: midori is light too [14:25] module000: yes, but it's a different mantainer.. and that's the sole reason for the switch [14:26] hi there was anybody able to get flash working in midori [14:26] either my hosts file isn't working right, or I did something wrong [14:26] hi, I'm thinking about buying a new Google Nexus 10 with the goal of installing Ubuntu touch (or a different linux distribution, if exists) on it later. do you think Ubuntu will still support the Nexus 10 in a half year? [14:27] I added "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" to my hosts file, but I can still access google.com [14:27] lleweldyn: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=qRNdU9rVBIjkOpTkgPgO&url=http://itsfoss.com/fix-missing-flash-player-error-midori-quick-tip/&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGcNJ8O2r0K0BYd4OeDPyoJLT2WMQ [14:27] DarkAceXtreme: when did you last access it before changing the file? [14:28] thanks you actionparsnip [14:28] google.com specifically, probably not for a couple of hours [14:28] but Google Chrome's probably constantly sending data to some Google site [14:29] lleweldyn: strange how it doesnt just use the normal folders the other ones use. [14:29] DarkAceXtreme: what is the TTL on the name resolution? [14:30] are there any differences between ubuntu desktop and server other than there is no GUI? [14:30] ice9: No. [14:30] ice9: no. [14:31] ActionParsnip: where do I find that? [14:31] not a joke question my friends; is the Nexus 10 a save choice? [14:32] how do you install tar.gz files [14:32] the software in them [14:32] gr8: is that a ubuntu suport question? for hardware offers better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:33] ActionParsnip: so I should probably stop everything transmitting to google sites, if I want the hosts to take effect? [14:33] odsent: the tor page got an howto for their software: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en [14:33] DarkAceXtreme: dig the name. You will see the TTL. If the TTL is not expired it is using the cached resolution so you can put anything for that name in hosts but it won't be used until the TTL expires [14:33] k1l: c'mon I asked the full question just 5 minutes ago [14:33] DarkAceXtreme: basic DNS stuff. [14:34] kll: i did all those instructions but now i can't find the iron to start TOr [14:34] icon [14:34] gr8: for ubuntu touch better ask in #ubuntu-touch . [14:34] ok, after looking at midori, it won't do what I need, I need a non-branded 'firefox' browser that I can use, suggestions? [14:35] Gr8: http://phandroid.com/2014/01/13/ubuntu-touch-devices-2/ [14:35] alright, thanks [14:35] have to call a command to reindex unity? [14:35] gartral: all web browsers have a brand..... [14:35] gartral: You need an "unbranded" Mozilla Firefox that you can use? [14:35] I'm not seeing any TTL in the dig, but I know what I want now, thanks [14:35] All web browsers are branded [14:36] say also, in 13.10 ctrl-c/x/v doesn't work how do I fix that [14:36] Mozilla is Firefox's brand (And the company that made it) [14:36] Bladewolf: exactly [14:36] help i installed Tor, now how do i start it [14:36] run it [14:36] Bladewolf: flash isn't working in midori or epiphany.. [14:36] DarkAceXtreme: then until that TTL expires you are using the cached resolution. [14:36] gartral: Then install Firefox [14:36] odsent: how did you install it? [14:37] If that's what you need [14:37] using the commands at !tor [14:37] !tor [14:37] Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [14:37] Bladewolf: i no longer consider firefox moraly compatible with my life.. see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/becky-hayes/mozillas-anti-gay-ceo-hast_b_5129335.html [14:37] odsent: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [14:38] ActionParsnip: ah ok I guess that means 'no' [14:38] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l [14:39] odsent: did you click the 'step 2' link on that page once tor was installed? [14:39] Hello [14:39] i really don't want to compile a browser on a netbook... that's going to take 5 forevers [14:40] Gr8: the guys in #ubuntu-touch wil be able to advise. Its not something I know of. All i did was search the web which anyone can do... [14:40] I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on a spare 160 GB hdd, on a C2D machine with boot loader on the same hdd. I moved this HDD to another Pentium 4 PC and I can't get it to boot up, always get grub rescue with "symbol not found" errors [14:40] gartral: https://launchpad.net/~dirk-computer42/+archive/c42-backport?field.series_filter=trusty [14:40] gartral: i don understand your requirement. We have given lots of light web browsers... [14:40] hey [14:40] i just upgraded to 14.04 [14:41] Lubuntu 12.04, System Rescue CD and Super Grub Disk 2 fail to load properly [14:41] i already installed the additional drivers [14:41] but still all my windows lag [14:41] when i drag them [14:41] or when i switch the workspace [14:41] haven't had this problem with 12.04 [14:41] anybody else got that problem? [14:41] ActionParsnip: my requirment is I need a non-firefox, firefox compatible browser [14:41] can we have the !enter factoid back, please .... [14:42] gartral: Try Google Chrome [14:42] gartral: do you mean the same gecko engine? [14:42] or does anybody know a solution [14:42] Yerst: Got enough RAM/CPU ? [14:43] Yerst: what GPU do you use? [14:43] ActionParsnip: yes [14:43] intel i7 870 (2.93GHz quad core) [14:43] 8 GB RAM [14:43] GTX 460 [14:43] O_O [14:43] :OOOOOOOOOOOO [14:43] That's more than me and I can run Ubuntu fine [14:43] 14.04 [14:43] yeah [14:43] i haven't had this problem with 12.04 too [14:43] Bladewolf: chrome is too heavy, I'm working on an older netbook here3 [14:43] I run ubuntu pretty decently on a celeron with 512mb of ram .. something is deeply wrong [14:44] gartral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers click Graphical [14:44] gartral: I don't know then [14:44] i used the same drivers than last time [14:44] nezZario: who was that message for? [14:44] Yerst: is it a laptop? [14:44] Yerst: [14:44] no, a desktop pc [14:45] Yerst: if youbrun: sudo lshw -C display [14:45] ActionParsnip: no duh.. but i'm really hoping not to have to compile the alternatives here [14:45] Yerst: do you see an Intel GPU and an Nvidia GPU? [14:45] gartral: have you seen the link i gave you? [14:45] llutz: no, hang on [14:45] nvidia gpu [14:45] my gtx 460 [14:45] gartral: those are the choices. I dont see why Midori doesnt tick all the boxes [14:46] gartral: What's your specs again? I mean once again, I run ubuntu with gnome on a celeron with 512mb ram and chrome is usable. It's slow, but usable [14:46] i have 2 monitors by the way [14:46] Yerst: so no intel gpu? [14:46] nope [14:46] maybe that's a problem [14:46] Yerst: in the lshw output do you see driver=nvidia [14:46] nezZario, me too celeron 2gb ram :D [14:47] dirver = nouveau [14:47] Yerst: thats why then [14:47] llutz: how do I add that via terminal?

[14:49] http://pastebin.com/MCXcbFeZ [14:49] here you go [14:49] is there a command that let's you monitor your video card input, such as watch /dev/video ? [14:50] gartral: switch from what? [14:50] is there way to run few commands in ubuntu desktop file [14:50] ActionParsnip: because she likesw the layout andplugins she had.. and I have a backup of them, so she doesn't want to switch browsers >.< [14:50] i meen something like this Exec=ls -la; echo 1 > /dev/null [14:51] is it possible? [14:51] ActionParsnip: firefox [14:51] i need to run command before main application start [14:51] it will setup my gamepad and application is steam. [14:51] how do you use the tor browzer bundle tar-1.xz [14:51] gartral: they will do the same job from a user perspective [14:51] ubuntu server 14.04 32bit live usb keeps giving me the same error when checking the disk for defects. Is this a known bug in the iso that can be safely ignored? [14:52] im running 13.10 should i update to 14.04? [14:52] Hi, i have problems with google chrome ot my lubuntu [14:52] i try to restart my pc again [14:52] it just has one file with an unidentified extension [14:52] maybe that will help [14:52] odsent: right click -> extract [14:52] by [14:52] llutz: appearently there's not an iceweasel for 13.10 in that repo [14:52] from website i download stable_current_i386.deb [14:52] hasek79: some day you will have to. 13.10 only got 9 months support [14:52] llutz: wait, DUH [14:52] i'm blind [14:52] gartral: the same plugins can be installed in Midori [14:52] gartral: LOL [14:52] hasek79: afaik 13.10 is still supported so just keeping your 13.x install is sufficient for the moment but I would go ahead and get 14 [14:52] next i install it via gdebi, but it give me error and doesn`t start :( [14:53] gartral: plus as youbadd plugins etc the browser will bloat and slow down [14:53] gartral: i hope you've seen the " ... WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk" [14:53] will all my configs still work of will i have to go threw and config everything again? [14:53] it's a tar file [14:53] hasek79: 13.10 is eol in June. You may want to upgrade soon [14:54] odsent: you can still extract tars with right click menu... [14:54] ActionParsnip: no, not the Facebook, Twitter, or G+ plugins.. they all said "Incompatible browser, use Firefox" and in 12.04 they installed in Iceweasel just fine [14:54] hasek79: especially consdering how easy it is to upgrade, .. why not? [14:54] gartral: then you may have to suck it up and use firefox. Or get an agent switcher to make it fly [14:55] odsent: or install unp and use unp to extract the file in terminal [14:55] i extracted it, and it just gives one file called tor-browser-linux64-3.5.4_en-US.tar-1 [14:55] Doesn't Ubuntu come with GZIP? [14:55] which came from tor-browser-linux64-3.5.4_en-US.tar-1.xz [14:55] the first one can't be extracted [14:56] file roller [14:56] Bladewolf: yes but unp is a one command for all archives command [14:56] ActionParsnip: lemme use the iceweasel ppa first.. another issue is she had A LOT of tabs saved before the wipe/reoad of her netbook after a failed update that i had WARNED her not to take [14:56] odsent: use unp, its easier [14:57] odsent: why aren't you using the version from Tor's repository? [14:57] gartral: What was the update? [14:57] Why use tor anyway [14:58] Bladewolf: a kernel update that she applied when she was tired, and I had warned her previously the /boot was full >.< [14:58] ...What the hell was she thinking? [14:59] Bladewolf: she wasn't she was up for 32 hours and "Wanted the prompt out of her way" [14:59] Lol [14:59] She should have hit "Cancel" [14:59] gartral: make her account not be in the sudo group and add your own and add it to sudo. Install openssh-server and tell her you'll manage her updates [15:00] Bladewolf: well, it's ok because at that point she was on 12.04 and desperatly needed a wipe/reload, because I had originally installed 9.10 on this system and limped it along [15:00] gartral: Lol [15:00] ActionParsnip: usually it's controlled by the sserver I run at home, this time she was so tired she screwed up [15:01] gartral: gotcha [15:01] ActionParsnip: don't ask me HOW she did it, she just did.. and trust me, I'm mad [15:02] gartral: is the system purely for web browsing? [15:02] ActionParsnip: no, it's her MAIN usage system, her alternative is a 14 [15:03] 14+ year oldSell GX150 "thin client" [15:03] Dell* [15:03] gartral: ahh was going to suggest xpud ;> [15:04] ActionParsnip: yea, tried that, she *HATES* using the terminal for anything [15:04] brb [15:04] gartral: ots not terminal based....

[15:10] gartral: I'm not sure actually, I just figured it'd be safer to use 32bit on such an old machine [15:11] trijntje: do you have a system model number?

[15:38] LKBM you can update directly to 14.04 from 12.04 [15:38] LKBM but you have to wait until the point release 14.04.1 comes out in July [15:39] Anyone know what version of Qt library is ship with 14.04? [15:39] Okay. I'm actually coming from 11.04 and I've already had fun fixing grub.

[15:40] Tetracomm: no I meant actually launch it from the terminal [15:40] cfhowlett, will that screw with all my settings and installed stuff? I mean, more than a regular upgrade?

[15:42] I thought 14.04 was ONLY 64bit for server edition now [15:42] willwh: because the hardware doesn't support 32-bit [15:42] *64 bit [15:43] cfhowlett, ubottu: But all of /etc will be gone, I assume. All the settings for apache, privoxy, etc. [15:43] trijntje: What are you using to create the drive? [15:44] jhutchins: usb-creator or unetbootin, each consisently reports a file to be corrupted, though the file differs between using unetbootin and usb-creator [15:44] trijntje: Try just using dd, cat, or cp. [15:45] LKBM: yep, but you should have those backed up somewhere surely? :) [15:45] trijntje: copy to the un-mounted root device, then check the md5sum. [15:45] otherwise what would yuo do in the event of system or disk faliure? [15:45] trijntje: Sometimes the check will fail because the drive is a different size than the image is. [15:45] LKBM wait until point-release and upgrade away [15:46] cfhowlett: I guess I'll do that. Thanks. (Also thanks willwh, ubottu, and bekks) [15:46] hello [15:46] does anyone know how to get the recycle bin on the desktop?

I've removed image of new kernel from /boot/ (it was compiled) and it still tries to use this version [15:49] trijntje: Yes, but again, to the unmounted root device, not to a mounted partition. [15:49] trijntje: /dev/sr0, not /media/usb0 [15:50] jhutchins: ok, I've now used dd to write the iso to the usb, and now the check completes without error. Thanks for the tip, at least now I can get going with my server! [15:50] I tried to move the file with commands, but it is telling me my downloads directory doesn't exist.. what's the file path for downloads? [15:51] Guest999999: ~/Downloads [15:51] i.e. ~/ is a shortcut for your home directory [15:51] trijntje: Good luck! [15:52] Hey! I'm looking for a bit of guidance theming my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, if anyone can help. [15:52] I'm hoping to replace the default Ubuntu orange folder icons with those used in the (already installed) Moka theme. is there any way to do this while retaining the default icons for all other apps? [15:52] Hi, can anybody explain to me what the firmware in the linux kernel is? Does it flash a different firmware onto my device e.g. a graphics card [15:52] or ~ on its own. === dan|el is now known as Guest_903 [15:54] Thanks! "~/Downloads" worked! [15:55] Hello. [15:55] I have Ubuntu installation with Full Disk Encryption. [15:55] I'd like to move /boot partition to an USB flash stick or SD card. [15:55] I've googled that, but didn't find anything related. [15:55] Does anyone know how could I do that? [15:55] "I have been jailbroke on my ipod touch 3rd generation ios 5.1.1 absinthe or green poison jailbreak for a couple weeks now and decided to get touchposé+ so it worked for the rest of that day so ok and then I shut it off for the night you now and then when I tried turning on in the morning at first I eont wouldn't let me touch the screen like I was touching thw screen but nothing was happening so then when I decided to wait a litt [15:56] I have to leave the house and I'll be back in an hour or so. If one has to say something please IM me. [15:57] I will check [15:57] genesis777: Pretty simple really, boot to some other media, copy the file tree from /boot, if desired remove the one from the disk, point grub at the new device.

The problem is when I get to installing grub, it complains that there is no dev/sda. How can I manually tell it to name the hard drive sda instead? [16:05] xtbman: pretty sure you want to install to sdb [16:05] xtbman: try referring to them as uuid [16:06] CarlFK, my problem is that grub gives me a fatal error saying can't install to dev/sda. [16:06] holstein hmm ok [16:06] Brasero is returning the following error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346161/ [16:06] xtbman: even when you tell it hdb? [16:06] CarlFK, you mean tell it to Grub? [16:06] xtbman: grub should just refer as uuid.. you'll install to what you want, and the labes get worked out [16:07] xtbman: "How can I manually tell it to name the hard drive sda instead?" <- use sdb [16:07] Grub doesn't give me any options, the installer just asks if I want to install to the master loader or not. I say yes, and then it tries to install. [16:07] CarlFK. xtbman, sdb may also be occupied [16:07] xtbman: " install to the master loader or not" IS the choice, say NO and then pick sdb [16:07] xtbman: ah. I thought it gave you some options. never mind. [16:07] be careful [16:07] is there a way yo upgrade from 8.04 jaunty to 12.04 precise using terminal by force? [16:08] llutz: ok I'll try that, one moment. [16:08] xtbman: you can just not install grub, and do that after install [16:09] xtbman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for example, post install [16:09] holstein: ok thanks I'll bookmark that [16:10] is it possible if i change the repo in sources.list then update && upgrade? can it be done? [16:10] inkscape uses alt-mouse drag to resize an object and keep the aspect ratio. the wm uses alt-mouse to move the window. is there some way to make that not happen so inkscape can get it? [16:10] zettabytes: it can and most likely it will trash your installation [16:12] zettabytes: and btw, you want to use dist-upgrade, not upgrade [16:12] does anyone know how to get the recycle bin on the desktop?

[16:26] so i'm back and now i'm getting wierd mouse freezes [16:26] is there any fix? [16:26] Guest_903: do ou have a ubuntu support question? [16:26] linuxuser1000: i test with live CD"s or supported operatin systems to see if the hardware is funcitonal.. then, i try other user accounts, and looking for and applying all upgrades [16:27] my screen freezes and i have to go to a tty to fix it [16:27] the rest works [16:27] even optimus and that stuff [16:27] linuxuser1000: as another user account, you can rule out your users config.. as the live CD, you can rule out your installed operating system [16:28] linuxuser1000: you can try using the open driver vs the proprietary driver for graphics.. remove any PPA's.. try the xorg edgers PPA [16:28] linuxuser1000: its just going to be a matter of tracking it down [16:28] i am using xorg edgers right now [16:29] on nvidia 334.21 [16:29] linuxuser1000: so, you can try the repo version, or ask the maintainers of the software you are using for support, after you determine the driver is or is not the cause [16:29] what's the command to update 12.04 desktop to 14.04 desktop directly, since that's LTS-to-LTS? [16:31] teward|pc: sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release [16:31] teward|pc: it will be opened up automatially when 14.04.1 releases [16:32] I did the ldd command! Is there's a path where I can see the library? [16:32] Castaneda: ldd gives you the pathes [16:32] teward: or wait for 14.04.1 and it will be offered === U1timat3Tr0113r is now known as UltimateNate [16:33] ActionParsnip: when's .1 supposed to come out [16:33] * teward|pc doesn't have the timetable for the 14.04 releases on his phone [16:34] 27th july [16:34] and in fact i can't even reach the wiki while running off my phone's data (i'm in its wifi hotspot) [16:34] (iirc) [16:34] teward: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule [16:34] ActionParsnip: thanks, [16:34] llutz: saying no to master boot loader worked. Thanks [16:34] teward: all i did was websearch..... [16:34] ActionParsnip: i'm being lazy today :p [16:35] besides, after just uploading 5 nginx packages to the nginx team's stable PPA... I need to stop staring at the computer :p [16:35] Can somebody tell me what directory..Path? does Firefox store all my bookmarks [16:35] john38: ~/.mozilla/ [16:35] john38: why do you ask [16:36] teward|pc: quitter :p [16:36] reisio, im doing reinstallation and i want to backup all sites i've visited [16:36] You can use Firefox Sync [16:37] john38: just backup the ~/.mozilla and you'll win [16:37] reisio, where do i go exactly ....usr/bin....var/..usr/share?? [16:37] john38: yes, you can just backup the dir as ActionParsnip says, for the entire profile/s [16:37] or open firefox and export as html [16:37] hello there! [16:37] "i had my i pod touch jail broken but i removed the jailbreak for some reason" [16:37] john38: '~/.mozilla' is a complete path that your shell will understand [16:37] john38: the absolute version would be /home/yourUser/.mozilla [16:37] if you've already backed up /home/yourUser/, you already have it [16:37] Who knows why Ubuntu 14.04 reconnect to WIFI after suspend is so fast? [16:37] reisio, ok thnks [16:38] john38: also backs up thunderbird if its used [16:38] Guest_903: gj [16:38] normally all the things you actually care about will be in /home/ [16:38] when you get into server stuff that can change slightly [16:39] test [16:39] !test | odsent [16:39] odsent: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [16:39] Lol [16:39] reisio, is it in the bookmarksbackup folder [16:42] john38: they're not in easily read format in that directory, but they _are_ there [16:42] john38: if you want an easily read format, then open firefox and export as html before you backup/reinstall [16:42] john38: otherwise you can copy the entire directory into a _new_ firefox install's ~/.mozilla, and they will simply be there [16:43] not in an easily* [16:43] thanks for the help!!! [16:43] cheers! [16:44] reisio, but they are the files with the .json extension right??? [16:45] reisio, i have alot of bookmarks but their are only 10 .json files [16:46] john38: I don't recall, as I said it's not in any easily readable format in there anymore [16:46] the Mozilla devs in all their wisdom decided human readable files were incorrect [16:47] it makes it easier for the idiotic "awesome" bar to query your bookmarks as a database [16:47] Is it ok to ask Ubuntu Server questions here? [16:47] Or is there a better channel [16:47] How do I default grub2 boot menu to be my default boot manager instead of Windows'? [16:47] depends on the queestion [16:47] Hey folks, I got a bit of an odd issue. I have some 290Xs that I'm trying to use to render. I have the drivers installed, and fglrx. I can report all the information using aticonfig (temps, clocks) etc for them, but they refuse to do anything (Such as render, output to a display, etc) [16:48] but there _is_ a channel just for server questions [16:48] -> /msg alis list *ubun*serv* [16:48] how to tell firefox to stop showing me popups asking me to install something that will give me extra features? it happens on many websites and i feel it's related to ubuntu or unity. [16:48] xtbman: sure, there is also #ubuntu-server [16:48] ok thanks [16:48] owen1: screenshot? [16:48] reisio: it only shows up for 5 seconds. i'll try to take on next time. [16:48] Chewy64: what's a 290X? [16:48] reisio: on gmail, launchpad, and other sites [16:49] someHuman: install Grub to the MBR of the drive. I assume you havent used Wubi [16:49] reisio, It's a GPU, Radeon R9 290X reference. [16:49] owen1: mmm... anything firefox would ask would remain until you told it to go away [16:49] I installed Ubuntu server, setting up my wireless connection. It said that the connection succeeded. Now that server is installed, and I'm at the command line, it says the network is down. Ping returns unknown host. [16:49] i always so 'no' [16:49] ActionParsnip: Yup I haven't. [16:49] reisio, how do i export bookmarks in precise pangolin?? [16:49] but they keep coming [16:49] ActionParsnip: How do I do that? [16:49] Chewy64: what command is refused, exactly? [16:49] john38: I already told you... [16:50] xtbman: can you ping your router's internal IP [16:50] john38: you can either backup the directory, or open firefox, Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML [16:50] reisio: i am guessing it's some shortcut for unity. i have ubuntu installed but i login to i3 session, so i don't care about unity shortcuts. [16:50] owen1: if you're using i3, unity isn't running [16:50] unless you're using i3 with Unity, anyways :p [16:50] which you'd probably be aware of [16:50] reisio, Refused? Nothing. They just won;t work, period. I can;t attach a monitor to them, and I can't use the GPU to render cad models, etc. Everything I can see says the card is functioning though. [16:51] ActionParsnip: no, it says connect: network unreachable [16:51] reisio: right. so maybe it's firefox with ubuntu? i don't know [16:51] owen1: pretty hard to say without a visual example :) [16:52] Chewy64: what all graphics devices are available? [16:52] reisio: i know. i'll try to catch them. i'll have 'scrot -d 3' ready (: [16:52] when upgrading mysql databases does ubuntu automatically run mysql_upgrade ? [16:52] Chewy64: which ati gpu is it? [16:52] orbisvicis: I certainly hope not, but that is easily tested [16:52] reisio, Not sure what you mean by that. [16:52] ActionParsnip, R9 290X. [16:53] reisio, ok thnks reisio [16:53] Chewy64: please enumerate all the graphics devices attached to the mobo [16:54] reisio: I accidentally went from 5.0 -> 5.5, now I've downgraded to 5.1 to run mysql_upgrade, except that some tables are now using the PERSCHEMA storage engine which is only available in mysql >= 5.5 [16:54] *PERFSCHEMA [16:54] reisio, 0=Saphhire 7950, 1=Saphhire 7950, 2=R9 290X, 3=R9 290X === ow is now known as AfterDeath [16:59] orbisvicis: well, lesson learned [16:59] I checked my /etc/resolv.conf, and it only has two commented lines.. nothing else. I'm guessing that's a problem. [17:00] reisio, You catch that? [17:00] Chewy64: yeah [17:00] Chewy64: and you want to use all these simultaneously? [17:01] reisio, Yes, and I need to be able to hardware monitor them sue to the fact that the 290Xs are throttled via tempertature. They are on a render farm. [17:01] in a render* === WilliamDotHU is now known as WilliamDotSI [17:02] okay, and how are you attempting to utilize one? [17:03] reisio, How do you mean? How am I attempting to use all of them at the same time? The render software does that. You can enable/disable any of the GPUs, and it'll dole out work accordingly. [17:03] no... I said 'utilize _one_' [17:04] Errr...... ? [17:04] I'm not following. Sorry. [17:05] Hello [17:05] okay I'll explain debugging to you [17:05] when debugging, you start small [17:05] you pick one thing, and make sure it works [17:05] then you add on more things until you get to your end goal [17:05] Oh, well yeah. [17:05] reisio is spot on [17:05] so when I ask how you're trying to utilize _one_, that's what I mean [17:05] reisio, The one monitor is tied to the monitor, and in PCIe0, so it just works out the gate. [17:06] The one GPU is tied* [17:06] Chewy64: the one 290x? [17:06] It's a 7950. [17:06] where are service scripts contained? (I have software that I manually built and installed on a new machine since it was pulled from ubuntu repos, I have the service scripts on an older machine, I just want to migrate and update them as necessary) [17:06] so "no" is the answer to my question [17:06] how about the ones that aren't working [17:06] how have you attempted to utilize one of them [17:06] tonsofpcs: if by 'service' scripts you mean scripts that run from `sudo service SOMETHING start` or such, check /etc/init.d/ [17:07] tonsofpcs: if you mean some other scripts, that'll depend on the software and you need to look through what got installed. [17:07] reisio, I can't use any single GPU unless it is in PCIe0. So when I attempt to use one, and only one, I have to plug it into PCIe0. [17:07] teward|pc: that's them, yes. I didn't realize it still just called init.d scripts. I can do that ;) [17:07] Chewy64: and that's your problem, you want them to work outside of PCIe0? [17:07] I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm wondering what the compatability issues are like with the Lenovo T430 series with Ubuntu/Xubuntu [17:08] dafedz: likely 100% supported, but the static internet would know [17:08] oh thanks for that reisio [17:08] I was just hoping some hardcore nerds would be able to provide some insight on here as well with regards to performance [17:09] reisio, I want them all to work, at the same time. Which accordingly, I can read the temps, clocks, etc of all four cards using aticonfig. They just can't actually do anything (IE, if I plug a monitor into a card not plugged into PCIe0, it doesn;t display anything. I can't select them in the render program to render with, etc.) [17:09] dafedz: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ http://linux-laptop.net/ https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yourmodel%22+site:ubuntuforums.org [17:09] Chewy64: yes you said many times [17:09] Chewy64: first you need to get one of them to work at all [17:09] cheers reisio [17:09] Chewy64: so please explain how you have attempted to do that so far [17:09] hi, i think that i install flash player but in fact there isn`t flash :( what to do now? [17:10] penko: how do you think you installed it? [17:10] i copy libflashplayer.so to /home/penko./mozilla/plugins [17:10] also to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [17:10] penko: that is the wrong way [17:10] penko: you should undo all of that [17:10] firefox**** [17:11] penko: once you've undone what you did, follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [17:11] rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib***.so? [17:11] reisio, By running aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f (Which is what allows me to read all cards info) I know very, very, little about grpahics related shit, so my knowledge kind of ends there. I have tried several driver and kernel versions as well. [17:11] teward|pc: cheers :) [17:11] penko: whatever it is you did [17:11] thank you. i`ll do it and try [17:12] tonsofpcs: you're welcome. :) [17:12] i try this before copy files but no luck [17:13] i also perform apt-get install flash-plugin-installer [17:13] but no flash [17:15] penko: use pepperflashplugin-nonfree on 14.04 [17:15] reisio, Sorry I'm not much help here. I haven't use linux for long, and am just heading down this road because the render software stopped building Windows servers. [17:16] is there any irc client, which I can run on CLI(server) and which store all chat text in some file, which could be retrived lateron [17:16] Chewy64: what's the software? [17:16] abhinavmehta: irssi, with logging enabled [17:16] abhinavmehta: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup#c8 [17:17] reisio: TY, helpful! :) [17:17] кто нибуть знает как настроить qemu для эмуляции arm?

[17:18] Bladewolf: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:18] Chewy64: and it says it doesn't detect your gpus? [17:19] reisio, I'm disinclined to believe it's the program, as nothing else works either. Not monitor output, not stress test will run on them, etc. [17:19] Bladewolf: "hello comrade, we are having a grand party in #ubuntu-ru" [17:19] ubottu is cute [17:19] reisio: Thanks (If that really IS what you posted) [17:19] s/"what you posted"/"what it posted" [17:20] reisio, They don;t show up in the render server, yes. Nor do they show up when attempting to run stress test, etc. [17:21] Chewy64: okay, you said you installed fglrx driver? [17:21] reisio, Sure did. [17:21] I'm attempting to tar the /etc/ directory. I'm getting permission denies. Is there an easy way to segregate only the files in a directory that have different ownership permissions?

Or should I use other command / tool instead? [17:24] reisio: do you mean i should compile it ? [17:24] aquaguy: ask apt-file [17:24] Neo31: no, you just download, extract, and run it [17:24] ordinarily I would say that is the wrong way to do it, but teamviewer is a win32 application that runs via Wine, and people seem to have quite a lot of trouble installing it the normal way [17:25] did i need to remove /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so,/home/penko/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [17:25] penko: if you put those there personally, yes [17:25] also did i need to unistall gnash?

[17:26] aquaguy: dnotify was deleted in oneiric, you'll probably want to use inotify-tools now [17:26] penko: you don't need pepperflash either, AFAIK [17:26] but I'm not familiar with 14.x specific issues [17:27] trism: thanks [17:27] Whats up fellas ?

[17:30] okay [17:30] reisio: Nope, I have to go to change boot options just to boot into Ubuntu. [17:30] someHuman: you have to what? [17:30] reisio: Windows 8.1 Pro loads if I don't press anything. [17:30] yes. my mistake [17:30] ok. i remove files. what to do now? [17:31] reisio: Press F9, I am using HP. [17:31] hi guys i made a bootable 14.04 cd with unetbootin ...Now i want to keep my configurations and apps while i transition to it from ubuntu 12.04 ... how shoudl i go about it? [17:31] penko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [17:31] someHuman: ah [17:31] someHuman: to what, choose a different _disk_? [17:31] reisio, I've been told that before too. (That I don't need Xorg.conf) but it was my understanding that I do need it in order to be able to hardware monitor them. As I mistaken? [17:31] Am I* [17:31] R2--D2: configurations from 12.04? [17:31] Chewy64: you need a xorg.conf to use them with X [17:32] reisio: I guess? To make myself clearer, I still need to press F9( change boot options) just to boot into Ubuntu. [17:32] Chewy64: shouldn't need them for a render farm, can't imagine you would [17:32] Chewy64: I don't suppose it matters, though, if X is working [17:32] keep configuration files of my apps like sublimetext etc [17:32] someHuman: you have two hard disks? [17:32] R2--D2: from what, the hard disk install? [17:32] reisio: What do you mean? [17:32] reisio: I do have two OSes. [17:32] someHuman: how many hard drives? [17:32] reisio, The only thing I need is to be able to hardware monitor them. And the only way I have been able to do that is to enable them all in the Xorg. [17:33] Chewy64: so... what's the problem? [17:33] reisio, They don't work. [17:33] ubuntu 14.04 with update of firefox - kills firefox and it crashes ( does not show up anymore ) cant trace crash report.. [17:33] i just run ubuntu 12.04 in my desktop [17:33] reisio: I just want a menu that shows me all of my OSes on bootup, then let's me choose which one to boot into. [17:33] ok. i got restricted addons and extras. but there isn`t flash in mozilla [17:33] And they aren't DOA or anything. [17:33] someHuman: yes I know [17:34] someHuman: you don't know how many hard disks you have? [17:34] reisio: Nope :( [17:34] someHuman: can you install pastebinit and run lsblk -f | pastebinit ? [17:34] R2--D2: you want to update 12.04 to 14? [17:34] yes [17:35] :) [17:35] i guess i could do it update by updates [17:35] but it will be a mammoth weaste of my time [17:35] *waste [17:35] R2--D2: which update are you talking baout? [17:35] +about [17:36] updating from 12.04 to 12.10 ..... and then till 14.04 [17:36] folks when I run nestat I see tcp6 0 0 localhost.localdom:9370 localhost.localdo:59022 TIME_WAIT what does time wait means? [17:36] reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346748/ [17:36] reisio, Again it's hard to explain. I don't need them to output to display, I need them to be able to been seen by the render software, and be hardware monitored. The cards won't do anything computation/display wise, but I can hardware monitor them after I run "aticonfig --initial --adapter=-all -f" but they still won't output to display or cdo computations. [17:36] R2--D2: so you want from 12.04 to 14.04? [17:36] yes [17:36] R2--D2: " do-release-upgrade -d" [17:36] any way ? [17:36] R2--D2: so you want to backup 12 and then do a fresh install of 14? [17:36] and also other ports use IPV4 and this one IPV6 [17:36] bizzare [17:37] I want to keep all my apps and configs and upgrade to 14.04 LTS from 12.04 LTS [17:37] R2--D2: the official 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts update will be opened on 27th july when 14.04 will become 14.04.1 [17:37] nobody know an answer? [17:37] R2--D2: but you can try the developer update from 12.04 to 14.04 [17:37] veryhappy: 42 [17:37] aah .... [17:38] do-release-upgrade -d by this i get a developer upgrade? [17:38] very happy answer to what? [17:38] you get the 14.04 actual release [17:38] R2--D2: yes [17:38] I migfht be able to help u [17:38] but for people who care about stability, .0 releases don't count :-) [17:39] so for them, 14.04.0 is "developer" :-) [17:39] i have downlaoded the 14.04 iso and made a bootbable ubuntu 14.04 with unetbootin [17:39] StrangeNoises: that is the reason why its opened on 27th july :) [17:39] R2--D2: you have a place to backup your data? [17:39] some of the rest of us have been running 14.04 on production desktops for a few months now ;-D [17:39] R2--D2: you dont need the iso for updateing [17:39] but that's just because i like computing to be a bit more interesting sometimes [17:40] close [17:40] yes i have a place to backup my data .... [17:40] :P [17:40] :P [17:42] R2--D2: so what's stopping you? [17:42] i don't have complete knowhow of linux filesystems [17:42] i may mess it up [17:42] i haven't done this before [17:43] R2--D2: if you dont know much about ubuntu and you want a stable system i suggest you wait for the official LTS to LTS upgrade on 27th july [17:44] and backups are very clever when murphys law strikes back :) [17:44] yeah that is not too much time from now :P [17:45] k1l: the official 14.04 LTS upgrade may end in several bug searching, myself i found a lot of bugs even the grub-installer didn't work. i'd say have fun then, better stay with the version you use now... [17:45] R2--D2: if you have the space, a whole fs backup is simple [17:46] R2--D2: use lsblk -f to find your partitions, mount them with 'mount', then rsync -av /mnt/ubuntu /mnt/backup/ [17:46] veryhappy, The official lts is in july [17:46] R2--D2: if you don't you have to figure out which parts to backup, usually /home/ will be most important [17:46] veryhappy: the upgrades get automated testing and work. but that may depend on the personal special setup [17:46] Beldar: so why it's out then already when there's a lot of bugs in there? [17:47] veryhappy: did you try to help fix those bugs? [17:47] veryhappy, Heh, your definition of a bug may not be the same as a developers. [17:47] okay now it seems waiting for 27th july will be a better idea :P :DS [17:47] :p [17:47] Beldar: i just want to give you the hint that i'm to become a developer as well. hope that helps. [17:48] anyway, i'm gonna try to find a solution for my problem that i have right now with ubuntu 12.04 amd64 [17:48] veryhappy, Nice wish, I have many to, never to achieve. ;) [17:48] okay anyways guys i wanted to thank you all for providing us with such a free and wonderful os :) [17:49] Beldar: get yourself a nice fairy, perhaps it's gonna become fulfilled... [17:49] hello [17:49] heya [17:50] veryhappy, Actually I have achieved more in the 49 years on this planet than many, so I'm pretty happy, I'm not a kid. [17:50] i made a package that have a website link in debian/control, but it does not appears in synaptic or software center...

[17:51] alexbligh1: wait for the LTS to LTS upgrade that will be opened on 27th july when 14.04.1 is released [17:51] reisio, the package is for ubuntu (12.04, 13.10, 14.04) [17:52] oh this is #ubuntu :p [17:52] k11, yes but what is the recommended way to do it /now/. [17:52] Hi channel, my newly installed ubuntu 14.04 decided to not let me access removable media with anything less than root-privileges. I get the sidebar icons and the usb-drive shows up in nautilus/nemo, but trying to access them gives me gedit?! stating that i don't have access rights. Any gvfs/udev experts in here that can help me debug this? [17:52] alexbligh1: use the developer upgrade parameter [17:53] k11, ah - '-d' should work? fantastic, thanks [17:53] Beldar: may your age help you be happy about your wisdom, i'm happy that i'm still a young guy, and who knows, maybe i'm gonna become also very good and reach more than you with your age, not to be rude, it's just an idea... ;) [17:53] reisio, one later version of my ppa, it was normal this website thing. Then, i made a new version with a recipe, and now i missed the website link [17:53] alexbligh1: but be aware that is not the LTS upgrade [17:54] k11, yep I know that. I just want to run trusty on something I am currently running precise on, so I can test stuff. [17:54] veryhappy: please focus on technical ubuntu support in here. thanks [17:54] reisio, later not, * early [17:55] i try to install sogou input method - http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/. there is a deb file but i prefer to use the ppa, to enjoy auto-updates. clicking on the 64bit link send me here: http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/help.php but i get 'Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/nightly/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404' after i type 'apt-get update'. any advice? [17:55] k11, i was just answering to him, no reason to bitch about support topic, i know it already, thanks for the information. [17:56] would someone with java please run "aptitude changelog openjdk-6-jdk".. i get 404 not found and I wonder if the problem is on my end or the server (i'm on debian, so it'll also be interesting if ubuntu differs) [17:56] btw i found a solution for my problem myself, take care [17:56] owen1: they do not have builds for 14.04 yet [17:57] cybrNaut: works fine here but ours come from http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/ [17:57] cybrNaut, works here on precise. I happen to know that package has had security changes recently so would suggest apt-get update first [17:58] thanks folks.. i appreciate it [17:58] trism: but it say: 支持：Ubuntu12.04及14.04 (support for) [17:59] owen1: it can say whatever it wants but the ppa does not contain the builds for 14.04 [17:59] trism: oh. so what are my options here? [17:59] and how can i see what u just mentioned? [18:01] owen1: this is the ppa you linked: https://launchpad.net/~fcitx-team/+archive/nightly look at the published in dropdown [18:01] owen1: or check http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/nightly/ubuntu/dists/ no "trusty/" at all [18:01] trism: also this mentioned he installed it on 14.04 - http://askubuntu.com/questions/450255/installing-sogou [18:01] he just didn't say how ): [18:02] Arrghhhh... now the removable media are mounted under a sub-dir named after the user in /media ... so that folder belonged to root (for no apparent reason. Why can't working concepts not be left alone... adding complexity only adds trouble [18:02] owen1: he used the daily ppa, which does have trusty builds [18:03] owen1: https://launchpad.net/~fcitx-team/+archive/dailybuild-fcitx-master === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [18:03] trism: omg. thanks. i'll add that ppa instead of the nightly! [18:03] owen1: but since the first answer suggests removing that, I don't think you should do that, and just install the deb [18:04] Anyone here experienced with ubuntu on macbook pro's? Have discrete gpu switching problems. [18:05] trism: i tried the deb, it told me i am missing fcitx. when i tried installing fctix it told me i miss more packages and suggested 'apt-get -f install'. is there any risk in doing that? should i purge ibus? [18:06] Hello, for 6 months now, ubuntu thinks it's on version 13.04 but everything is updated to 13.10 so when I start the upgrade it doesn't do anything [18:06] owen1: apt-get -f install is fine and usual behavior after installing a deb because you need to get the deps [18:06] trism: cool. should i purge ibus or it's better to have both ibus and fctix? [18:06] It's a problem now because I want to upgrade to 14.04, so i decided to manually edit /etc/lsb_release and /etc/issue, but I'm not sure what should i put into [18:07] owen1: I have no idea about the software itself, never used it, I use ibus/mozc [18:07] owen1: some things in unity dep on ibus though so you probably shouldn't purge it [18:08] tibr: thanks!

Yeah feel free to run that.

[19:55] GRMrGecko: ive never had a bad one :) [19:56] GRMrGecko: as most ubuntu upgrades work for me, probably not. if you're in fear, backup and fresh-install [19:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7347652/ [19:56] as there may be something you're doing to setup/system config that breaks updates [19:56] StrangeNoises: I always keep a backup [19:56] StrangeNoises: thank you [19:56] GRMrGecko: though sometimes i have a video driver issue after upgrade and just install nvidia-current for my nvidia card [19:56] I install and configure Ubuntu to work for me. [19:56] should I try updating cups agan? [19:57] I don't exactly do anything other than edit /etc files. [19:57] GRMrGecko: maybe the wrong ones! [19:57] :-) [19:57] the upgrade process will tend to ask what to do about changed config files [19:57] StrangeNoises: Stuff like config files for server software [19:57] it's possible that a wrong answer there will wreck things. can't deny [19:57] like nginx [19:57] spearson, also do a sudo apt-get clean first [19:57] ok [19:58] so given your past experience, i'd seriously say, yeah, do a fresh install and then bring in your config from your backup [19:58] spearson, If it were me, cause I'm familiar with this area, I would do some ppa-purge at least to take these of the variable list. That command should not have effected your issue. [19:58] yeah [19:58] but still. I would like Ubuntu to finally fix itself and make upgrades possibe:P [19:58] how would I do a ppa-purge? [19:58] sudo ppa-purge? [19:58] Hi i have problems with empathy after upgrade to 14.04 - i like to clear out all accounts - and rebuild them - where are they stored? [19:59] something to be said for rolling upgrades [19:59] !ppapurge | spearson [19:59] * StrangeNoises liked using gentoo for that sort of thing [19:59] spearson: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [19:59] I never had issues with Debian crashing [19:59] dw1: aha! i think i know what's causing this! i installed CUDA recently to try some GPU development, and it brought the nvidia drivers.... let me get rid of that [19:59] from upgrades [19:59] every now and then some package would break during upgrade, but it would tend to be one at a time if you upgraded regularly, and you could deal with the fallout then [20:00] spearson, I see though that marlin ppa is a file manager though. [20:00] does anyone know where empathy account settings are stored? [20:00] hi everyone, i keep getting "Warning: Fake initctl called, doing not " any help? [20:00] maybe I should just make a patch file that I run to configure Ubuntu for me:P [20:00] lol [20:00] then any re-install, I can just run the patch file and boom [20:00] my system will be configured [20:00] bound to fail [20:00] kiilo: either in ~/.config or ~/.gnome or ~/ or gconf or dconf === muhammad is now known as Guest93733 [20:01] mmmh [20:01] thanks ... [20:01] what's the command to install ppa-purge? sudo apt-get install ppa-purge? [20:01] StrangeNoises: I don't exactly mean a diff... But something better [20:01] like an automated perl script [20:01] pvh_sa: :) [20:02] spearson: just kill the packages with apt-get remove --purge cups cups-client ... upgrade will disable 3rd party ppa's anyway i believe [20:02] I'll wait for summer to work on upgrading [20:02] spearson try this: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:02] maybe get an SSD for upgrade [20:03] spearson: you could also delete the ppa file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:03] spearson: then run apt-get update [20:03] I have a RAID, but I read that RAIDs in Linux comes back after you install the software [20:03] have to look for my notes [20:03] dw1: yep. apt-get purge nvidia\* - and now things are fine [20:03] GRMrGecko: upgrades usually work. if it's "always" breaking for you, there's some configs you're changing that the upgrade process can't deal with. it could be hard but rewarding to find out what. or easier just to fresh-install frankly :-) and probably keep to LTSs for this [20:03] pvh_sa: s'what i was sayin' - remove all :) cool [20:06] @reisio mo the account settings are not in one of this locations? [20:06] Hi. why is FLash Player Full screen function (browser Chrome) not 100 % full screen?

[20:09] and see if it works? [20:09] azerus: Whats a SSD cloud? [20:10] reisio: i am searching the web up and down ... i think empathy accounts are stored in online accounts and somewhere in the FS for empathy itself ... wen i look intio empathy i see after relogin all this OLD accounts again [20:10] spearson: if you disabled that 3rd party ppa you might reinstall it or just upgrade now and reinstall it later if its still missing [20:10] well, sometimes it is in 98 % of the screen and sometimes it opens with border. If it opens with border, there is then the option for real full screen. [20:10] what is life?.

[20:11] It worked [20:11] the cups update is installing now [20:11] kiilo: I'd ask irc.gnome.org about it [20:11] Next I think 14.04 will show up :) [20:11] reisio: emphasis on awful ... and undocumented [20:11] (if I used GNOME :p) [20:11] no I'm sure it's documented [20:12] ciao [20:12] ;-) [20:12] but if it's not in a plain text file in ~/.foo, then it's not where it should be [20:12] !list [20:12] fabio_: No warez here!

[20:27] reisio: According to their own arguments, they arent. They say: "No, ubuntu kernel is not 100% free, It includes some non free kernel blobs. [20:27] source: http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html (just look for ubuntu)" [20:28] bekks: whose? [20:28] ubuntu isn't fully free, yes? [20:28] reisio f.lux daemon, it changes monitor color temperature based on the time of the day. [20:28] reisio: http://askubuntu.com/questions/229598/is-the-ubuntu-kernel-100-free-software [20:28] That's all I need to know [20:28] buero: it is not 100.0000000000% free [20:28] it's closer to 99.999999999% free [20:28] I need fully free [20:28] thank you [20:28] good bye [20:28] d1323: oh you can just start that with the DE [20:28] bekks: then again fsf considers "including" to also mean "making available" so take whatever they say with a grain of salt. [20:28] there are other distros for the purist approach [20:29] That poor guy is stuck with Hurd now. [20:29] how do I change the primary display [20:29] mozzarella, bug 874241 [20:29] bug 874241 in unity-greeter (Ubuntu) "Wrong resolutions in lightdm login screen when using external monitor connected to laptop" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/874241 [20:29] penguinman: Yeah. [20:29] mozzarella, you do that in your display settings [20:29] it's not the wrong resolution [20:29] reisio, but I will have to start it on every restart, or am I missing something? [20:29] mozzarella, what then [20:30] d1323: no, it will start whenever your DE starts in that scenario [20:30] d1323: you might also look into xcalib (xcalib -i -a), which inverts colors rather than merely trivially altering your screen's hues [20:30] kostkon: the password prompt is on the right display, it's supposed to be on the left one [20:30] the two displays are swapped [20:30] d1323: and compiz (what Unity uses) can also invert colors (even per-window) [20:30] mozzarella, ok [20:32] reisio black->white and vice versa? not sure it would be a good replacement, since this affects everything not just windows. video, photos, etc [20:32] you know, it's amazing how minimal a DE you really need when you actually give it a try. openbox with 2 dockapps and krunner for a program launcher and I don't really miss anything from the bigger ones. [20:32] does anyone know how to optimize ubuntu 14.04 for older systems? [20:32] http://pastebin.com/1DhT1WJv <- help [20:32] my desktop seems to be glitchy [20:32] ok Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [20:32] openbox. ugh, so bloaty! fluxbox! [20:32] LukeMaxwell: sure, run xubuntu or lubuntu instead - no unity. [20:33] someone will one-up me in 3-2-1... [20:33] use a less bloated distro [20:33] Greetings.. [20:33] lubuntu is probably the default choice for older machines [20:33] StrangeNoises: TWM. just saving everyone some trouble. [20:33] if i get my g4 mac mini back i'll probably be trying that [20:33] when upgrade to 14.04 I get could not download the upgrades Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [20:34] daftykins: I need a system that is easy to use by the user. it took me several hours to download the ubuntu 14.04 distro yesterday [20:34] spearson: Remove the corrupted file from /var/cache/apt/packages/ [20:34] penguinman: twm actually hurts though. i guess some of us have some *minimal* comfort requirements :-) [20:34] command? [20:34] mozzarella, open your display settings and drag the right monitor to the left or the other way around or something [20:34] spearson: rm [20:34] I was kind of hoping to stick to ubuntu due to how long the download took [20:34] theres an article on installing ubuntu on a mac in the new issue of full circle magazine [20:34] LukeMaxwell: it's too graphically demanding for older systems really [20:34] tr0n: i have ubuntu installed on this here macbook air [20:34] it's very nice [20:34] so rm /var/cache/apt/packages/ right? [20:34] spearson: No. [20:34] or sudo rm /var/cache/apt/packages/ [20:34] though i'm having trouble with refind as a boot manager [20:34] spearson: No. [20:34] At Ubuntu download page has a 64 bit MAC AMD 64 option.. Is it just for mac or can be used in an amd 64 architecture machine? [20:34] spearson: Remove the _corrupted file_ from /var/cache/apt/packages/ === ppetraki is now known as ppetraki-hotelro [20:35] daftykins: What I wanted to know if those settings could be changed [20:35] spearson: Thats not "remove the entire directory". [20:35] how would I do that? [20:35] ok [20:35] spearson: By removing the file mentioned. [20:35] Darkseid: main thing is, current normal ubuntu image knows UEFI but is confused by Apple's weird EFI implementation [20:35] daftykins Like in windows you can change from aero theme back to windows xp theme for better performance [20:35] kostkon: as I said, it's fine once I'm logged in [20:35] LukeMaxwell: yes many different wm and DE available [20:35] what is the commend to remove the file mentioned? [20:35] so the mac variant just knows bios, which works for mac efi's bios emulation [20:35] if there is one [20:35] spearson: rm /full/path/to/the/file [20:36] krux: what is that? [20:36] spearson: The file is mentioned in your error message, you know the path as well. [20:36] sudo rm -rf /lib [20:36] ;-D [20:36] StrangeNoises: Stop that. [20:36] StrangeNoises: NOT funny. Not at all. [20:36] ok so rm libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb [20:36] spearson: No. [20:36] d1323: yeah, but it is :) [20:36] bekks: i did it once. i know. but yeah, actually it is a bit :-D [20:36] LukeMaxwell: WM window manager DE Desktop Environment.. your using unity by default but you can change it to others with less memory consumption [20:36] spearson: rm /full/path/to/the/filename [20:37] someone who copies that in from a stranger on an irc channel won't do it again [20:37] StrangeNoises: Means that is just for Apple so? [20:37] StrangeNoises: Which is not funny. [20:37] krux: sounds like what I need to do. any suggestions on how to go about it? [20:37] !helpful | StrangeNoises [20:37] krux: new to ubuntu but setting it up so my friend can have a working cheap desktop setup [20:37] (that did nothing) [20:38] LukeMaxwell: well there are many choices.. could try lubuntu-desktop ?.. [20:38] LukeMaxwell: how old? [20:38] or give us some specs, LukeMaxwell [20:38] LukeMaxwell: to grab lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop will still involve downloading a fair amount [20:38] It's a dell optiplex gx260 [20:38] i my self usually get openbox and tint2 [20:38] what will that command do? i have to ask [20:38] daftykins: that's what I want to avoid [20:39] ralph: it will kill your install, but not instantly [20:39] LukeMaxwell: you can't. [20:39] My hardware: AMD A3500 APU RADEON - 64bit - Should I download regular 64 bit or the 'mac 64 bit amd 64' ---- Looks obvious but I want to clarify... [20:39] stuff that's already running would probably continue to run, but nothing new could start [20:39] from the window, I don't know what the corrupted file is [20:39] you will find it hard to recover [20:39] how does it work? [20:39] but it's not *entirely* impossible [20:39] LukeMaxwell: processor? ram? [20:39] I've been trying to upgrade to 14.04 for hours but I keep getting error "could not calculate the upgrade". main.log shows one error "Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'". I've checked dpkg --get-selections and no package is held (also checked in synapctic). Any ideas what else I could do? [20:39] deletes the /lib directory which contains the main system libraries [20:40] and kernel modules [20:40] it's incredibly destructive [20:40] don't ever do it [20:40] reisio: I am looking up the specs now. one moment [20:40] bekks: Can you tell me something? [20:40] how would I file the file that is corrupted to remove it. I know the location from the chat [20:40] Darkseid: Depends on your question. [20:40] it's too bad dell removed hardware info from their site [20:40] spearson: I told you twice. [20:40] bekks: My hardware: AMD A3500 APU RADEON - 64bit - Should I download regular 64 bit or the 'mac 64 bit amd 64' ---- Looks obvious but I want to clarify... [20:40] spearson: rm /full/path/to/the/filename [20:40] ok [20:41] Darkseid: 64bit. [20:41] i wont, just curious. [20:41] Darkseid: You dont have a Mac. [20:41] reisio, if I turn f.lux off in the middle of a night I feel like I am staring at a nuclear reactor, it is so bright. [20:41] Darkseid: you'd know if you had a mac, they're covered in apples [20:41] guys [20:41] bekks: The mac option is really only for apple's.. [20:41] I just want default grub settings [20:41] d1323: yeah, but inverted colors is even better :) [20:41] Darkseid: Thats why it is called "mac". [20:41] and it'd be overpriced [20:41] heh [20:41] no mauve background [20:42] how do I restore the defaults [20:42] reisio: I know it only has 1 Gig of ram in it but I am looking to upgrade that in the near future [20:42] Very helpful.. I was mistaken.. [20:42] LukeMaxwell: processor speed, number of cores, and whether the graphics card is dedicated or onboard [20:42] reisio: is there a terminal command to pull up sys info? [20:43] LukeMaxwell: you could pastebinit cat /proc/cpuinfo, free -m, and lspci | grep -i vga [20:43] reisio: I know it currently is using the onboard vga port. there is a dvi card in it but he doesn't have a dvi cable atm [20:43] LukeMaxwell: in system settings click on details [20:43] guys [20:43] guuuuuuuys [20:43] I want the default grub settings [20:44] none of that ubuntu stuff [20:44] tr0n: doing that now. thanks [20:44] LukeMaxwell: a dedicated gpu will make a big difference [20:44] er click on the system settings icon and click on details [20:44] mozzarella: then ask grub what they have for default settings [20:44] so rm /var/cache/apt/packages/ but what is the file name in the packages directory? sorry if I sound stupid [20:44] LukeMaxwell: but you should consider how much time you spend on this, as a brand new computer costs about two day's worth of time (translated into paid work hours) [20:44] reisio: money is very tight atm. that's why we focused on getting a cheap 30 dollar desktop off of craigslist from a local college and a monitor for 25. the wifi dongle and keyboard we already had [20:45] and that's just an x86 computer, you can get a little arm box for a fraction of that [20:45] k [20:45] $30 wouldnt get you a commodore 128 [20:46] spearson: libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb is the filename. [20:46] it'd get you a last gen raspberry pi [20:46] reisio, it isn't just a matter of brightness, blue light suppresses production of melatonin. I sleep much better since using this program, so I still recommend you to try it. :) [20:46] reisio: Would it be faster just to get him setup on a raspberry pi running raspbian? [20:46] d1323: don't need it :p [20:46] d1323: another one is 'redshift', though [20:47] LukeMaxwell: mmmm, it shouldn't be, since you only have to setup the software, right? [20:47] LukeMaxwell: but a new raspberry pi could arguablly be superior than a very old x86 desktop [20:47] does any one know how to set up win 7 on a lenovo B57O [20:47] reisio: here are the specs [20:47] for example a raspberry pi can do 1080p video, and the majority of desktop computers still running cannot [20:47] jondavis: #windows [20:47] yes [20:47] depends on the application [20:48] try ##windows [20:48] yeah I have heard about it. to get back to topic, putting the program into /etc/init.d wouldn't work right? because it has to start when the X is started. I am just curious what unity does behind the scene to make it work [20:48] reisio: memory 1000.3 MiB [20:48] sorm /var/cache/apt/packages/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb right? [20:48] (to make it start automatically with x server) [20:48] yes windows 7 [20:48] reisio: processor Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.00 GHz [20:48] !ops | jondavis [20:48] jondavis: Help! Channel emergency!

I'll run those terminal commands one second [20:50] LukeMaxwell: grep -i cores /proc/cpuinfo [20:51] kk [20:51] and lspci | grep -i vga [20:51] so the command is rm /var/cache/apt/packages/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb to remove the corrupted file right? [20:51] i should come here more often =] [20:51] spearson: Yes. [20:52] Thanks [20:52] reisio: the reason I decided on an old desktop was due to needing an hdmi supporting monitor. those aren't cheap. and an hdmi to vga converters add to the overall cost [20:54] rm: cannot remove ‘/var/cache/apt/packages/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb’: No such file or directory [20:55] LukeMaxwell: why'd you need that?

[20:57] Ok [20:57] It said it is a directory [20:57] spearson: Show us the output of the command I gave you please. [20:57] will do [20:57] reisio: VGA Compatible controller: interl corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [20:58] interl? [20:58] that's not a copypasta :-) [20:58] paste.ubuntu.com/7348070/ here you go [20:59] spearson: Thats not the command I gave you. [20:59] you're missing the command 'find' [20:59] that wasn't a general instruction, 'find' was part of the command :-) [21:02] ahhh === eva is now known as Guest47973 [21:03] guys [21:03] how do I log in as root [21:03] Gtg guys [21:03] I put the command in and it just went to a new line in the terminal with output [21:03] !root | mozzarella [21:03] mozzarella: 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 [21:04] is that what is supposed to happen? [21:04] ah, quoting the matrix instead of being more accurate :p [21:04] k1l_: I need to change his display settings… [21:04] spearson: yes [21:04] ok [21:04] that means the file wasn't found underneath /var/cache/apt [21:04] mozzarella: i doubt that you need a root GUI [21:04] it's the unix way: no output means everything went well :-) [21:04] resi [21:04] what should I do next? [21:04] try the update? [21:05] k1l_: how ,then [21:05] well whatever your problem was, deleting that .deb isn't the solution, because it's already not there [21:05] hmm [21:05] mozzarella: what are you trying to do? [21:05] k1l_: the displays are in the wrong order [21:05] JUST before I log in [21:05] in the log in screen [21:06] swap the video cables? ;) [21:06] spearson: Did you find that file? [21:06] mozzarella: the login screen switches the login window to the one that is used [21:06] it seems that the file doesn't exist [21:06] where did reisio go? [21:08] spearson: then run: find /var/cache/apt -type -f -iname "libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64*" and give us the output in a pastebin please. [21:09] the command is then run: find /var/cache/apt -type -f -iname "libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64* right [21:09] spearson: Is that the command I gave you? [21:11] k1l_: yes… but when I move my cursor to the right it goes on the left display, which means they're not in the right order… [21:11] should be a trivial thing to do [21:11] It looks like its the command [21:12] reisio: hey you still there? [21:12] spearson: Then run it. [21:13] evening guys. having a bit of trouble getting wubi on usb to load.. i get "ubuntu" screen and its continuously loading. any suggestions? [21:13] jay: don tuse wubi anymore [21:14] The latest packages from kde-backports supports trusty? [21:14] jay: it got lots of problems. better use a live system(cd usb-drive) or make a real install [21:14] well i just followed the how to get usb ubuntu working [21:14] i think thats what i did [21:14] i just may not be savvy enough to be saying what i am meaning. [21:14] holyshit guys [21:14] the clock is gone [21:14] I'm setting up a 14.04 node on Rackspace. It's complaining trying to apt-get hhvm, saying "Depends: libboost-filesystem1.53.0 but it is not installable", along with a bunch of other libboost packages. Is there a software source I'm missing here, and how would I find it? === Guest55705 is now known as ikonia [21:15] Darkseid: Just browse the repo. [21:15] jay: yes, but wubi is "install ubuntu into the windows partition and mix that all together". use a live system or make a real install into real partitions. not the windows one [21:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348156/ [21:16] http://i.imgur.com/WgJ5iRb.png [21:16] what's happening guys? [21:16] spearson: find /var/cache/apt -type f -iname "libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64*" and give us the output in a pastebin please. [21:16] Thanks [21:17] i used windows to get the 14.04 repository iso, then used the usb creation tool to create the usb stick and restarted. it worked on my lappie fine but my desktop its just dot dot dot dot dot in constant loading [21:17] bekks: I think is most plausible if I install directly kubuntu instead ubuntu and install kde... By other hand, I wont see the new resources at the new release... What dilemma... [21:17] LukeMaxwell: no, raspberry pis do have hdmi [21:17] guys how do I bring the clock back [21:17] Darkseid: How is that related to browsing the named repo to see wether it supports trusty or not? [21:17] LukeMaxwell: yeah it's a little underpowered, by Unity should run alright on it, if it does at all [21:17] i know and hdmi monitors are more expensive reisio [21:18] that's why i opted for a desktop setup reisio [21:18] LukeMaxwell: I don't see how the two are related [21:18] anyways [21:18] Here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348177/ [21:18] it'll probably work alright, and if it doesn't then try xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop [21:18] bekks: I'm just wondering the installation of another environment.. [21:18] Hi, im running 12.04 LTS should I upgrade to 14.04 LTS? [21:18] Darkseid: And why dont you just browse the repo then? [21:19] spearson: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb.FAILED [21:19] hehe.. [21:19] reisio: It seems glitchy running on it though. programs take a while to slowly fade away when I click close === daniel__ is now known as daninoz [21:19] rosentrotter, The official LTS is july 24th or so [21:19] LukeMaxwell: okay, then the graphics hardware isn't up to snuff [21:19] mozzarella, what does dpkg -l | grep indicator-datetime say [21:19] rosentrotter: what do you mean [21:19] Beldar: The 14.04 LTS was released at April 17. [21:20] I thought 14.04 was LTS [21:20] ran command and entered password and it came up with a new line [21:20] Weechat in gnome terminal, I have bell in preferences for gnome germinal. But I still dont hear any pings/highlights. I have really googled like crazy for this. Please help [21:20] Beldar: whats the risk, will all of my programs still work? [21:20] so should I rerun the update to 14.04? [21:20] LukeMaxwell: if you're attached to unity, I believe you can still get unity 2d (unaccelerated) from a ppa [21:20] rosentrotter: Just wait for 14.04.1 and you will be able to update. [21:20] bekks: sorry, I restarted my computer [21:20] bekks, Isn;t the official upgrade LTS to LTS in July? [21:20] spearson: Yes. [21:20] OK [21:20] what's the command for that? reisio [21:20] Beldar: I did 12.04 LTS to 14.04 on release day [21:20] bekks: why cant I do it now [21:20] Beldar: The official LTS release date was April 17. [21:20] jay: The desktop with Windows, is that Windows 8 ? .. WUBI will not work in Windows 8, main reason it is no longer supported ( UEFI, that is). [21:20] reisio: I have turned off any animation settings that I can seem to find so far [21:21] Do you recommend the upgrade to 14.04? [21:21] rosentrotter: Because that option will be available with the release of 14.04.1 [21:21] spearson: Which release are you on? [21:21] 13.10 [21:21] Bashing-om, yes but like i said it worked 100% with my lapppie, so i knopw the stick is good [21:21] i am getting error ata6 exception emask while installing ubuntu or ubuntu gnome, what do i do ? [21:21] LukeMaxwell: doesn't matter, the actual software controlling the windows is accelerated 100% of the time [21:21] I know 14.04 release I was running it before it was a dev, however I have see all over this channel the official is in july [21:21] spearson: Until July, you have to update. [21:21] LukeMaxwell: you have to replace it with another wm to get a proper benefit [21:22] so you recommend that I upgrade now right? [21:22] bekks, Beldar: whats the risk? Ive been looking forward to the new feats [21:22] reisio: does this involve another download or something that can be changed via terminal? [21:22] Beldar: No. The official was Aptil 17. The update option from 12.04 to 14.04 will be available with 14.04.1 [21:22] rosentrotter, I don't care what you do, I was just passing the rhetoric. ;) [21:23] bekks, lol the syntax of upgrade or update, geez. [21:23] so you recommend that I upgrade now right? [21:23] Beldar: ok, I just see all over the forums that its unstable and I dont understand what that means [21:23] what an ass [21:23] jay: The stick is not the factor, it is how the system boots, UIEFI and a WUBI install -> not supported. [21:24] Beldar: Its not the syntax. The official release date was April 17. Thats the point. And watch your language please. [21:24] hi, which dictionary is retext using for spellchecking? [21:24] Bashing-om, im trying to ditch 8.. :( [21:25] rosentrotter, That means people have opinions, forming your own is more reliable. [21:25] Beldar: the LTS to LTS (12.04 to 14.04) upgrade will be opened in july. when 14.04.1 will get released. please let the language not escalate in here [21:25] hello ubuntu community, when I asked this earlier, I had the answer that it wouldn't work. but I wanna make sure if there is really no way; the question is whether I can somehow make itunes work on ubuntu. [21:26] duckbilled: No. [21:26] rosentrotter: if you want a stable LTS relase wait for 14.04 to be settled. the official LTS to LTS upgraade will be opened in july when 14.04.1 will be released [21:26] jay: If it is surely your intnt to install wubi - there are other options - but, but what you might consider doing is convert Windows 8 from UEFI to the conventional msdos partitioning scheme .. Not at all what I would do or recommend. Just it can be done. [21:26] duckbilled: virtualbox vm with windows/macos x and intues installed in it [21:26] Beldar: lol alright ill see what happens [21:26] duckbilled: no [21:26] les, is it difficult to install a virtual box? [21:27] I never did that [21:27] k1l_, easily done that is what ignore is for. ;) [21:27] duckbilled: yes you can run it virtualized, for example in VirtualBox [21:27] Bashing-om, thanks for the info i'll poke and prod and see if i can force fit this thing together.. cutting torches and welding gear is in my arsenal it will happpen. [21:27] duckbilled, i've used tunesviewer, but it does not replicate itunes, it's good for podcasts for itunes u [21:27] i am getting error ata6 exception emask while installing ubuntu or ubuntu gnome, what do i do ? [21:27] duckbilled: That approach will not enable you to use the recovery mode of iDevices. [21:27] duckbilled: also via Wine under certain circumstancess [21:27] duckbilled: it's best to just replace the app, though [21:27] there are plenty of native packages that work with Apple iPhoo apps [21:28] and there are plenty of other online music stores, most superior to itunes [21:28] duckbilled: even if you made a mac VM you wouldnt be able to use the usb...i think [21:28] no you can use the usb [21:28] rosentrotter: Which is wrong :) [21:28] it's just not worth it [21:28] rosentrotter: you can use the usb, but not the recovery mode of iDevices. [21:28] jay: Be aware, if it were easy, WUBI would still be supported. WUBI has been around a long time, UEFI is it's demise. [21:28] honestly the very best approach is to get rid of your iPhoo and buy something that works as a generic usb mass storage device [21:28] you will be happier in the long run [21:28] duckbilled, reisio: wine seems to do a poorish job of iTunes: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 [21:28] reisio, is there a native package that can be used to add-remove songs? [21:29] duckbilled: yup, one comes with Ubuntu IME [21:29] rhythmbox, number of others, IIRC [21:29] reisio: does this involve another download or something that can be changed via terminal? [21:29] LukeMaxwell: this being...? [21:29] ben_xyzzy, I was also told last time that wine didnt make it work [21:29] it seem no one want to really help me out on trying to restalling win 7 [21:29] duckbilled: it's trickier to use wine [21:29] soem one please help me [21:29] but it's a waste of time regardless [21:29] any body [21:29] duckbilled: Which is basically correct. [21:29] reisio: changing the wm on ubuntu [21:30] hello [21:30] reisio, forgive my ignorance, what is IME ? [21:30] the time required to replace your iPhoo device with a non-vendor-locked alternative hardware device is ALWAYS going to be less than the time it'll take you to get iTunes working "flawlessly" outside of Mac OS [21:30] Bashing-om, did i not say cutting torches and welding supplies :P thanks for the info guys i'll pop later and see how its going [21:30] duckbilled: in my experience: IME [21:30] duckbilled: If it's just about the iphone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [21:30] reisio, thanks :) [21:30] ben_xyzzy, it is ipod, actually [21:31] if you want an excessively shiny portable audio player, that is also not absurd, try http://www.cowonglobal.com/ [21:31] jay: OK, Have fun ! It is all a learning experience. [21:31] if you just want one that's not absurd, go to walmart and get the cheapest you can find [21:31] duckbilled, what model [21:31] ben_xyzzy: link says ipod too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [21:31] duckbilled: ^ [21:31] I have a general linux question. Say I have a harddrive showing prefail in SMART, taken from a PC with a bad motherboard. WD's extended test recovered some errors, and it doesn't seem to be having any problems now. [21:32] I'm not looking to buy a player [21:32] MavBlue: "prefail" will not magically disappear. [21:32] I suspect the controller was sending corrupted data and the prefail is false, what's the best utility to re-test the whole drive for bad sectors? [21:32] no, I mean the diagnostic isn't finding any errors [21:32] MavBlue: you can run an extended offline selftest using smartctl [21:32] i am getting error ata6 exception emask while installing ubuntu or ubuntu gnome, what do i do ? [21:32] clue_h, is it possible to add-remove songs with tunesviewer? [21:33] Okay. How the Hell do I configure my laptop fan on Ubuntu? [21:34] duckbilled, what model is the ipod [21:34] creature: depends on the laptop, but having laptop-mode-tools installed and running is a start [21:34] duckbilled, i never used it that way so i wouldnt know, i used it for podcasts and itunes u, it's not quite the same so it may not be what you want. perhaps worth a try though. [21:34] please help with my problem anyone ? [21:34] !patience | rAg3 [21:34] rAg3: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:36] @bekks any idea which flags to use off-hand? [21:36] clue_h, I'll try [21:38] MavBlue: No, but it is well documented in the man page for smartctl [21:38] <_1_Ebola_86> Hello. [21:39] 'lo [21:39] rAg3: ?

[21:51] creature - init scripts [21:51] #ubuntu [21:51] <_1_Ebola_86> My garbage IRC client kicked me out of the room. Did anyone reply to my question about the 1980s hard drive? [21:51] duckbilled, whats the full request [21:51] td0s: I thought they were deprecated around 6 versions back? [21:51] creature, depends on what it is you want to stop, be specific here. [21:51] its asking you to install to a directory duckbilled [21:52] I have a utility, i8kmon, that argues with my laptop's BIOS fan control. [21:52] is it* [21:52] clue_h, I'm following the install instructions, and this is the third command to be applied. so I create a directory and name it for the install. [21:52] _1_Ebola_86: make sure the drive is physicaly working [21:53] Nah /etc/init.d still has lots of stuff for user space I think [21:53] is it? [21:53] duckbilled, that command will install all the debs in a directory, ja [21:53] if youre happy with doing that with a program that is not in official repos [21:53] clue_h, I see, thank you heaps for letting me know [21:56] correction, it is. [21:56] Hi, since changing to 14.04 I'm having problems with my df output [21:57] hey [21:57] clue_h, I applied the first two commands here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348367/ and I get this error when I applied the third command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348358/ might you have a suggestion for what to do here? [21:57] it's not showing the device-mounts anymore, but instead shows some binded mounts [21:57] since i updated to tahr, ctrl+q stopped being blocked by my custom keybind [21:58] !trusty [21:58] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [21:58] duckbilled, it is actually there. sudo apt-get install tunesviewer. did you do that [21:58] i formerly had it bound to doing nothing; now it *usually* does nothing, but will quit if i hold it down for a second or two [21:58] clue_h, no i didn't. I thought I had to follow and complete the dpkg commands I posted above. [21:58] duckbilled, try the apt way [21:59] clue_h, ok [21:59] clue_h, it says it is already installed [22:00] Cizzle: I don't have a clue what might be, but for all to see, pastbin the output of the df command. [22:01] Can anyone help [22:01] clue_h, the software is there, will try if it works with add-remove songs [22:01] duckbilled, ok :] [22:02] I gotta run will connect back in a few hours === norbert is now known as Guest449 [22:04] Is there some way I can customise the colour of the active window's title bar in Unity? === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] [22:09] Hi, I just tried to upgrade 13.10 to 14.04, and after an hour 30mins I got the error that it failed and would fallback, nevertheless on reboot I appear to be in 14.04 without too many obvious problems. However if I attempt to complete the upgrade with "sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade" I get a host of errors :http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348447/. How can I complete the upgrade and fix this? [22:09] creature: yup [22:10] fpghost84: it's "sudo apt-get -f install" you want, not that [22:10] (I was using the proprietary fglrx in 13.10 (without issue)) [22:10] fpghost84: you're going to want to remove and reinstall fglrx [22:10] Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/KaX6rW5X ; normally it shows the /dev/sdb1 being mounted on /home/cip/web [22:10] reisio: I'd be much obliged if you could tell me how. [22:11] mount -l shows the mounts correctly [22:11] So, I just upgraded to 14.04. Has my bash config moved? I wanted to edit an alias, and I'm not sure where it is... [22:11] daftykins: ok, the install command didn't seem to do much, except "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed.....", and for removing fglrx I tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*" [22:11] Cizzle: Look'n at /KaX6rW5X . [22:12] creature: https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+unity+customize+titlebar+color [22:12] and I got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348464/ [22:12] thurstylark2: an alis you had in your ~/.bashrc ? [22:12] alias* [22:12] reisio: Thanks, but I've been Googling for this for around 30 minutes now without much luck. I'd appreciate some more first-hand help. [22:13] reisio yep [22:13] fpghost84: ok that sounds like things aren't too bad then. yeah that's not going to work to uninstall, can you try "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" ? [22:13] creature: when you have a specific problem implementing a specific approach [22:13] thurstylark2: and it's not in ~/.bashrc now? [22:13] daftykins: that gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7348472/ [22:14] reisio: Sorry, I didn't understand that. [22:14] daftykins: fglrx* didn't work because they have a bunch of .deb files in their current working directory and bash expanded it to their filenames [22:14] reisio waaait a second. I was looking for a directory instead of a file. Brain derp. thanks [22:14] oh, you probably noticed this. I redirect it to fpghost84 then :) [22:15] rww: ah you are right, I tried it from another dir, and looks promising [22:15] rww: i'm actually unsure how best to proceed with fpghost84 on this one - would attempting to run the uninstall script still be good? i was going to ask if /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh exists still, though i know an error of its' output is what came in the first pastebin shared [22:16] hello folks.. a quick question .. is this the heartbleed patched version of openssl ?? Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) [22:16] !sslbug | Latrina [22:16] Latrina: A fix for the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (2014-0076 & 0160) has been pushed to the Ubuntu repositories, see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ and http://heartbleed.com/ for more information. [22:16] daftykins: it sounds like the error was caused by /etc/ati/ not existing, so I would mkdir that and see what happens, personally [22:16] rww: agreed, thanks [22:16] fpghost84: did you follow that? "sudo mkdir /etc/ati && sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" [22:16] thanks daftykins [22:16] clue_h, tunesviewer seems not related to players, more for downloading [22:17] is there any format, i.e. on audacity, that I can convert songs to, so that they can be played on an ipod? [22:17] daftykins: well, I'd probably do the mkdir and then do the package removal, but that's mainly because i have no idea what fglrx-uninstall.sh does :\ [22:17] mp3? [22:17] rww: ^_^ [22:17] daftykins, rww: sorry, I kind of jumped the gun here perhaps, and ran "cd ~;sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*" This seems to know do a lot of stuff appearing to remove lots of fglrx related files. I then did "dpkg -l fglrx" and now no packages match. Not sure if this was the right thing to do? [22:18] fpghost84: sounds good to me :) [22:18] duckbilled, ipods can play mp3 files just fine [22:18] Cizzle: "/home/cip/web 732214300 255342340 476871960 35% /home/joy/control/users/cip/web" is different, pastbin -> cat /etc/fstab <- to see how it is being mounted. [22:18] fpghost84: yeah sounds good, wanna try a final "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to confirm things are happy? [22:18] clue_h, I already have them as mp3, but they cant be played. I dont understand, because as far as I can remember this was possible some time ago (it's been a while since I didnt use the player) [22:19] I mean, since I used the player [22:19] duckbilled: how are you putting them on the device? [22:19] duckbilled, thats news to me too, i thought they were drm free, as mp3. etc [22:19] daftykins: yeah looks healthy!! thanks. It keeps prompting me to autoremove a lot of python packages, would this be a safe thing to do? [22:19] Bashing-om: you mean /etc/mtab? cause that disk and the binded mounts aren't listed in my fstab [22:19] fpghost84: safer to keep i'd say, no harm in them being there :) [22:20] daftykins: ok, guess so [22:20] daftykins: I just need to get fglrx reinstalled now! [22:20] fpghost84: usually such a message means nothing depends on them anymore though, so an autoremove would be fine to do i'd say [22:20] fpghost84: :) indeed - with building for trusty now \o/ [22:21] Is there some way I can customise the colour of the active window's title bar in Unity? [22:21] Cizzle: Now that is unexpected, is your home on it's own partition or as a symbolic link from the standard install ? But yeah, we can also look at what mtab has to relate. [22:22] daftykins, I think earlier it was as simple as used copy-pasting them between folders. now I cant do that. [22:22] duckbilled: what kind of iPod? [22:22] duckbilled: the full size ones have always required a full program to create the right database entries etc. [22:22] duckbilled, which ipod is it [22:22] daftykins, I dont know, an old one, it was a present, never checked it [22:23] duckbilled: what... i'm just asking what kind it is :) [22:23] duckbilled, you could try with rhythmbox, or gtkpod or in my case floola [22:24] duckbilled: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/IPod_family.png/800px-IPod_family.png ? [22:24] duckbilled, i have a 5.5gen ipod [22:24] ipod video* [22:24] daftykins, all those are new [22:25] kostkon: gotta start somewhere. [22:25] daftykins, yes [22:25] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Various_iPods.jpg/450px-Various_iPods.jpg [22:25] have that one too then [22:25] here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPod_models [22:27] can anyone here recommend a great program or script for bandwidth monitoring and intrusion detection, packet monitoring etc? been using bmon. any other recommendations? thanks in advance currently running ubuntu 12.04 LTS [22:27] Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/qihGNWzt ; home is on sda2, no symlinks, these mounts are done from a script [22:27] when I connect the device, its folders and song contents can be shown, and I can copy mp3 songs there. but the songs are not played. and the songs that are played (converted earlier) are of m4a format. I just converted a song to this format using audacity, and will check if it helps. [22:28] Cizzle: look'n at qihGNWzt. [22:28] duckbilled: you are not answering the question we're asking, the question is designed to make it easier for us to help, please address it first [22:28] ralph, tripwire, snort === ezhik_ is now known as Guest97920 [22:29] duckbilled, no it does not work like that for ipods. It gets mounted yes, and you can use it as a file storage device if you like, but you have to use a specialised app to copy music to it because ipods store their song list in encrypted db files [22:30] daftykins: so just to double check on the fglrx install. I should use the 14.10 version from proprietary website (with --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy to get the debs anyway)? or I should use some older version from repos? If I recall correctly, when I installed the amd website version in 13.10 it wasn't officially supported, and needed a patch to install but then worked superbly. What is the advice for 14.04? [22:30] duckbilled, try with rhythmbox, it shoudl work. [22:30] thanks i will give them a shot =] [22:31] fpghost84: no, you're in 14.04 now so that's Ubuntu/trusty - i'm not sure what they offer so you might have to have a hunt for a good guide for use with trusty [22:31] Where can I buy a tablet with Ubuntu pre-installed? [22:31] fpghost84: yeah, but unfortunately they don't support trusty yet, at least officially [22:32] but it might not be a prob as they didnt officially support saucy either and that worked well with install patch, oh well I guess some trial and error [22:32] Is their any tablets that I can buy with Ubuntu OS pre-installed? [22:32] buero, not yet [22:33] fpghost84: You should use the version in the repositories. The installer packages from AMD's site have issues, as you discovered during your release upgrade. [22:33] buero: pretty sure, check the hardware list on ubuntu.com [22:33] How long till I can buy one? [22:33] fpghost84: and the only ones we technically support here are the ones in the repos [22:33] buero, System76 [22:33] Beldar: system76 doesn't sell tablets. [22:33] buero: please ask that in #ubuntu-touch or canonical [22:33] sorry [22:33] thanks though [22:33] I'd just get a Nexus 7 and flash it, it's literally one command and not hard to do at all. [22:33] rww, yeah, maybe things have moved on in the repos by now, but I had no choice last time I tried, since my card is pretty new and the repo version did not work well with it.....maybe things are different now.. [22:34] fpghost84: ah, I see. Well, I'd start with the repo one and see how it goes. [22:34] Cizzle: OK, We have a 'device' -> /home/cip/web ; mounting to the "file system" @ -> /home/joy/control/users/cip/web. So I assume you have set up network access (??). [22:35] Bashing-om: no, it's a binded mount [22:35] i am getting error ata6 exception emask while installing ubuntu or ubuntu gnome, what do i do ? [22:36] you know, mount --bind /some/dir /some/other/dir [22:36] Cizzle: To what purpose ? is the bind mount made ? [22:36] rww: silly question, but how to actually install the repo version,the guide says via additional drivers, but hasn't that been scrapped now? [22:37] les, Yeah, [22:37] fpghost84: I believe it's merged into Software Sources now. not sure though, as I don't have either installed. [22:38] fpghost84: try searching in Dash for "drivers", and if not that "sources" [22:38] I've installed trusty, and when I copy files from an internal HD to a USB HD I'm noticing that my load is maxed. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot and correct this? [22:38] yep it's in software sources, thanks [22:38] Bashing-om: I don't see how that's relevant but, it's to work with chroots [22:39] it didn't work with m4a, either. but trying gtkpod now [22:43] hey [22:43] heyo [22:44] what the hell is up... [22:44] I can't access a folder in /root/bin/folder but it is found via the found / comment and the name of the folder has a space in it and I tried "blabla" and bla\bla/ ect [22:44] hi [22:44] Cizzle: I do not see the problem with binding the contents of one location to that of another, what is the reason for concern once more ? [22:44] Is there a command to make 'ls' output scroll the same way man pages or 'more' output does? [22:45] Bashing-om: that the "df" output doesn't show the line with the mount of /dev/sdb2 on /home/cip/web [22:46] prior to 14.04 "df" only showed real devices on their mountpoints whereas since 14.04 it shows the binded mount and hides the real device [22:47] skinux: ls | less [22:48] Thanks. I feel kind of dumb now. [22:48] Cizzle: HUH ? But sdb2 does not show to be mounted . lemme have a tic to check what results in my system when I mount another partition. [22:48] skinux, also check this out: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ [22:48] Bashing-om: sorry I meant sdb1 [22:48] i reference it often [22:50] Is there a way I can prevent the load from maxing out whilst copy files in 14.04? [22:50] helloow, I can't access a folder located at /root/bin/myfolder , the name has a space in it, and the folder is found via the find command but the folder isn't displayed via ls command DAFUG is wrong? I tried "blabla" and "bl/ab\bla" ect didn't work [22:50] What exactly is Ubuntu Cloud Server? [22:51] JonnyDamnnox: you need to escape that. /this/is/a/path\ with\ spaces [22:51] JonnyDamnnox: and you should use tab-completion :) [22:51] Simply Ubuntu Server pre-configured for use in 'cloud' hosting?? [22:51] but why isn't the name not displayed via the ls command? [22:51] Cizzle: Device 'sdb1' also does not show to be mounted at that time. If you were to mount 'sdb1' then it would appear in the 'df' output. [22:51] tab doesn't work [22:51] :/ [22:51] JonnyDamnnox: use ls -a to see all files [22:52] Bashing-om: looking at mtab it does show to be mounted --> "/dev/sdb1 /home/cip/web ext4 rw 0 0" [22:52] chromie: Exactly what is does 'load' mean? RIght now my load is 1.54 [22:52] gee also not displayed [22:52] Bashing-om: "df -a" and "mount" show it mounted as well [22:52] it worked with gtkpod!! kostkon, clue_h, daftykins, thank you very very much! [22:53] you can simply upload mp3 and it plays [22:53] nice [22:53] Cizzle: Yeah, I did just now look.. yeah, something is nnot making sense. I did expect it to show in the 'df' output. look'n again. [22:53] 'upload' is over an internet connection, 'transfer' is for local devices. [22:53] hhm [22:53] ls /root/bin also works [22:53] OHHH [22:54] anyone here who could answer me a ubuntu gnome related question? theres noone answering over there [22:54] Robbilie_: nope, but lots of people here could [22:54] When I run "uptime" it states my average load is 2.19. I am currently using a dual core processor. This tends to occur when I'm copying large amounts of data to other hard drives. [22:54] ubuntu gnome: by upgrading without pruging the gnome ppa i keep my details tab saying im running 13.10 ubuntu, any way to change it now, afterwards? [22:55] and when I cd into /root/bin it does nothing, I stay in the same directory [22:55] chromie: copy over usb? [22:55] My system can become sluggish until the copying is completed. I was how I would go about correcting this issue. [22:55] ben_xyzzy, reisio, bekks, thank you very much! just tried gtkpod, it works just fine! [22:55] Yes I was copying from an internal drive to a usb drive [22:55] chromie: is the USB drive using NTFS? [22:56] No ext4 [22:56] all drives are ext4 [22:57] thank you for your help everyone, time for bed, good night! [22:57] chromie: yes, coping to usb is a blocker [22:57] hk [22:57] I see. Thanks I really appreciate it. [22:57] Cizzle: I maybe out in left field, but I see df "/home/cip/web" to be same same as mtab's "/dev/sdb1" [/home/cip/web ext4 rw 0 0] such that the bind is to the other location. [22:58] Now for a really dumb question. How does one reply to a user in IRC? [22:58] chromie: start typing the start of their nick, then hit TAB [22:58] Robbilie_, I'm in 14.10 shows 13.10 here to, hehe. [22:59] reisio, got it! Thanks [22:59] Beldar, u dont care...? :D [22:59] Robbilie_, Never looked. [22:59] :p [22:59] it seems that my gnome theme is also not correct [22:59] there are margins where none should be [22:59] thats what i find annoying xD [22:59] Thank you [23:00] i just installed budgie desktop if this rings a bell :) [23:02] what vnc server do most people use? [23:02] Bashing-om: yes, and "df /dev/sdb1" shows it as well, but "df" is still flawed [23:02] i want to modify the default app that is used for videos and also for images. what's the i should look for in update-alternatives command? [23:04] are udev rules working under ubuntu? [23:04] i am trying to make rule on my usb device is connected, device is xbox gamepad. [23:05] Cizzle: Sorry, this is out of my pay grade, I do not have the ability to explain the difference. [23:06] Bashing-om: ok, thanks for the effort, checking if it occurs in gnu's coreutils as well to see if I should address them and where to file a bugreport then [23:07] Cizzle: No effort here, no blood lost, some day I too may know more. === bernard_ is now known as the_mighty_bogan [23:13] !assembly [23:14] Assembly related questions room, anyone know of any?
