subcoolwe all praise on how well kubuntu is- but .. really most of this stuff only works because we are board and go after making it work. - some of this stuff should be simply - plug n go.00:00
biffbaxterverme - so unity yes?00:00

mrchristopherhi.  i have a slightly offtopic question...  i am getting my grandmother a used computer, and price is a big deal...  i am looking at these, and was wondering if I could get some input...   http://www.innovatepc.com/categories/Computers/?sort=pricedesc&page=2   she will be using lubuntu with it00:07
larrypgice9, just curious - what need do you have that makes you want to install them?00:09
Jordan_Umrchristopher: I wouldn't personally purchase a computer that I hadn't already tested for hardware compatability with a LiveCD/USB first. Though checking hardware compatability lists also works.00:10
Jordan_U!hcl | mrchristopher00:10
ubottumrchristopher: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection00:10

=== runciter is now known as KraBBAtheHeat
subcoolWhiskey, erros about exfat00:15
Whiskey1p1ro: thats easy, you will need to configure your LAN to NOT use DHCP and just static what ever ip space it has00:16
Whiskey1subcool: pastebin00:16
p1roexample wlan0 192.168.1.1 (internet) eth0 10.0.0.1 with access to 10.0.*.1....00:16

xubuntu_I'm new to IRC what exactly is the point?00:17
Whiskey1p1l0t: well where does 10.0.x.0/24 reside?00:17
Whiskey1xubuntu_: its sicial media from before social media existed00:17
p1roWhiskey1, right now i eth0 10.0.0.10/255.192.0.000:18
Whiskey1subcool: that doesnt make sense if the packages are in, mmm, maybe fuse needs rebuilt?00:18
xubuntu_I see00:18
Bashing-omxubuntu_: Many people talking to many people on same access .00:18

cjenkin2I have an semi-advanced question concerning Ubiquity.00:19
subcoolWhiskey, uninstall/reinstall?00:19
mgolischthe packages are probably named lib32-*00:19
cjenkin2Is the package containing keyboard layouts not the same as the default xkb-data ?00:19
subcoolWhiskey, this is on two machines, so-00:19
mgolischunless your on a multiarch system00:19

xubuntu_Oh guyz did u here? NATO now considers russia an adversary00:20
Whiskey1subcool: fun. well, i dunno with out seeing dmesg and such00:20

Whiskey1[ 6091.929079]    : Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]00:25
Whiskey1that tends ot mena its pulling to much or your port doesnt supply enough, usb *should* disable when there are current errors00:25
omgwtfIt's been 2 hours and don't really know where to start troubleshooting :S00:25
Whiskey1omgwtf: whats the issue ?00:26
omgwtfI set up rutorrent for multi users00:26
omgwtfon a vps00:26
Whiskey1and if it makes you feel better ive been screwed for days by 14.0400:26

p1rohi, if some1 can help, im trying to be able to have internet over (wlan0) and lan with sub-nets over (eth0)00:28
Whiskey1p1ro: ok the ip you have does not match what you said before, 10.135.0.10 (you said 10.0.0.10)00:29
p1rono it dowes now00:29
p1ro10.0.0.1 i was using as example00:29
Whiskey1ok00:29
Whiskey1p1ro: ok i think i see the issue00:30
Whiskey1A) you always are using subnets, so stop saying that00:31
Whiskey1B) define the network you want to access directly, B1) Are any networks going to be accessed via routing00:31
p1rowell 10.135.0.1 is a gateway00:32
Whiskey1p1l0t: from here it looks like you have a /10 subnet00:32
p1robut i cant even ping there00:32
Whiskey1have you made sure cables nad such are correct? and what is the subnet mask on that rotuer?00:33
Whiskey1router*00:33
james0rusing nemo in xubuntu. do i need additional packages to show thumbnail previews for videos?00:33
Whiskey1who configured it? is it a soho peice of gear?00:33
p1roWhiskey1, with same configuration im able to ping 10.202.100.1 from windows00:34
p1roWhiskey1, i did set on network-manager app use this only for local resources00:35
p1roor something like00:35
Whiskey110.202.100.1 is NOT directly accessable from your ethernet ip of 10.135.0.10/1000:35
Whiskey1so you had to have a route setup OR it used your INET adapter and happen to have a responce00:35

Whiskey1so the IP layer is working00:40
Whiskey1are you /sure/ its a /10 subnet and not a /24?00:41
Whiskey1is there a dhcp server running on that network? is it possible that the router will only allow access to devices it has a valaid dhcp for?00:42
Whiskey1that mac comes back as a cmts mmmmm00:43
p1roWhiskey1, yes there is a dhcp server, but im setting this one manual00:43
Whiskey1what do you get when you do dhcp?00:43
omgwtfp1ro, do a route -n and post it00:44
p1rofor example if i just turn down wlan0 and remove the option on eth (sue this for resources on its own network) i can ping and connect00:44

p1roomgwtf, whiskey1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7383161/00:46
omgwtfenigma, try maybe removing any wireless security and try to see if you can connect00:46
Whiskey1p1ro: that was not while you had the wlan0 down00:46
enigmaomgwtf: ok00:46
omgwtfthat rules out any incompabilities00:46
Whiskey1omgwtf: the issue is NOT the wireless00:46
Whiskey1its the wired00:47
cjenkin2Thanks all for directing me to #ubuntu-installer :/00:47
omgwtfWhiskey1, if he can't ping any ip on the wired network yeah00:48
omgwtfI agree00:48
enigmaomgwtf: but if a different laptop can connect successfully, I guess it's fine. Remember that I tried with a Ubuntu CD and it failed as well to authenticate. Moreover, the laptop was working well the day before.00:48
omgwtfenigma, thats strange00:50
omgwtfwith the same wireless network / shared key ?00:50
enigmaomgwtf: yes. I even defaulted the router, just in case. I tried network_manager, wicd, wpa_supplicant, I even deleted all my wifi connections and made new ones.00:51
omgwtfdid you try on different wireless networks ?00:52
omgwtflike public hotspot?00:52
omgwtfto see if it does the same thing00:52

p1roWhiskey1, you want same but without wkan0?00:53
enigmaomgwtf: It gets crazy lonely after a while. And this winter was longer than usual00:53
omgwtfif it does the same thing, def the wireless network00:53
omgwtfcard00:53
omgwtfI live in montreal and we had got our part of snow00:53
enigmaomgwtf, I guess I will have to try other wireless spots, like you said.00:53
omgwtfdoes the laptop work if you plug it with the cable?00:54
enigmaomgwtf, hey, I live near Rimouski, so I guess we had a similar winter :-)00:54
enigmaomgwtf, yes, it does00:54
enigmaomgwtf, I even checked the bios, just in case00:55
omgwtfprobably the wifi nic, but just to be sure check it on some public hotspot00:56
enigmaomgwtf, wlan0 can be found. Since it seems to exchange with the router, I guess it does "kind of" work.00:56
enigmaok, will do00:56
omgwtfyou could also get ettercap00:56
omgwtfto see maybe which packets are exchanged00:57
omgwtfhelp you troubleshoot further lol00:57
omgwtfor if you're curious :P00:57

basketballbazhang,  you were the one to tell me about ack right01:19
daftykinsgrendal_prime: to connect to the desktop of a VNC server from a command line only machine? 0o01:20
grendal_primeright ok. so i have this network and i sometimes want people on the outside(the wild world)  to see a desktop so i started thinking...well if they had a webpage they could log into on the gateway device (its a linux softwre router) that would then forward the traffic onto the ip of the machine running the vnc server.01:21
daftykinsseems like unnecessary obfuscation to me01:21
grendal_primelike a vnc gateway. Similar to like forwarding via ssh but using ssl insead?01:22
daftykinsplus VNC is unsafe anywho01:22
grendal_primewhat?01:22
grendal_primeok think like this.01:22
grendal_primei got 10 machines. i want 10 people to have access to each one . i have one gateway that is running apache.01:22

Segfault_grendal_prime: Take a look at this: https://kanaka.github.io/noVNC/01:24
grendal_primewhat i need though is the web server to gather like a machine name a user and pass login..that will then forward..or proxy the info to that java server.01:24

uncle_benSegfault_, ok, well i can at least test that...which port should i forward to?01:45
=== izaya is now known as Izaya
Segfault_you need to tell the router that connections on port 22 are to be forwarded to a specific computer on the network01:46
Segfault_in this case the computer running openssh01:46
uncle_benSegfault_, hmmmm...ok...can you give me a link for how to do that?01:47
Segfault_that depends on your router. Do you have any info about your router?01:47
uncle_benSegfault_, ugh...it's a hybrid modem/router from my isp...who knows where it was manufactured!01:48
uncle_beni'm probably going to have to call them too about this01:48

Hardcheeseplayed a game. Game crashed and got back to a desktop in 600x800 (easy to restore). Screen is now near 100% white (some gamma/contrast setting got screwed up). Can the gamma(?) thing be fixed? I can't find any such option.01:51
nerpHardcheese: does it persist after a system restart?01:52
Segfault_uncle_ben: np! If you get it up and running, make sure you disable root logins (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) and use a strong password for your user. SSH is often target to brute force attacks01:52
omgwtfand read this as well http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-bsd-openssh-server-best-practices.html01:53
Hardcheesenerp: hopefully not. Can't restart right now though.01:53
nerpHardcheese: is it possible that some screenblanking process is still active in the background even after the game was closed?01:54
uncle_benSegfault_, yeah thanks...i've actually done my homework on this and did a lot of prepping...already disabled root login and user password login...can only connect via key (assuming i can get the port to listen)!  thanks again for your help01:54

james0r2nerp, no not with lsblk02:06
Hardcheesenerp: no, no worries. I appreciate the help very much.02:06
holsteinAxizor: there are no builds that are supported here, but you are welcome to make your own, or go with a derivitive, if there is one, or follow the link i gave02:07
nerpjames0r2: Try different usb ports? If you still get nothing the stick is probably bad02:07
AxizorUnless you want to know how to resolve a specific APU related installation issue that causes black screens during install which, in my mind, is a result of the kernel, server, and video drivers02:08
AxizorXserver*02:08
holsteinAxizor: sure.. try another kernel and confirm, and file a bug02:09
james0r2nerp, same with other usb ports. it's fairly new though. seems like i've had another one fail while trying to format with gparted.02:09

nerpjames0r2: I think USB sticks are similar to SSDs in that if they are going to fail they usually do it pretty early02:10
james0r2say you make a live usb of a distro and you wan't to wipe it and use it for another live image, what's the process you use?02:10
holsteinjames0r2: i just make it, or wipe it. or format.. it depends02:11
nerpjames0r2: I would use gparted and change it to mbr then format it02:11
holsteinjames0r2: if im runing into what you are stating, i try the device on many machines til it shows up.. and format it.. then, i try and move on testing02:11

AxizorHolstein, thank you for that information.02:12
AxizorI will look into it02:12
AxizorBut for now, back to my house of cards binge02:12
doesjames0r2: reformat it.02:13
james0r2holstein, alright i'll hold onto it and see if it's recognized by another machine.02:13
holsteinjames0r2: or, just try formatting it, right now, if you see it in gparted.. which, you may not02:13
nerpholsein he said it doesnt even show up in lsblk02:14
james0r2holstein, naw i don't see it anywhere. only using lsusb02:14
james0r2and it shows up using gnome-disk-utility. it says it's at /dev/sdb but i can't manually mount it02:15
holsteinjames0r2: use gparted specifically.02:15
james0r2holstein, doesn't show up in gparted02:15
james0r2holstein, that's my first go to02:15
AxizorHolstein, if 3.14 is supposed to be the "wonder kernel" for Apus like some here make it sound like, should I just boot the installer with the nomodeset parameter, upgrade, and voila?02:15
holsteinjames0r2: and you have tried all usb ports?02:15
holsteinAxizor: its not02:15
james0r2holstein, yeah02:15
holsteinAxizor: hardware can be challenging.. linux cant promise support for devices, though, like with any operating system, your hardware manufacterer can provide support. many do these days02:16
AxizorYes, this realization becomes clearer and clearer the deeper I dig Holstein02:16
holsteinAxizor: if you can use nomodeset to get installed, and add a proprietary graphics driver, that might work "best"02:17
AxizorI'll see what the geniuses at amd driver team have put together02:17
AxizorAlthough I've heard bad things about the proprietary drivers with trusty02:18
holsteinAxizor: you were likely promised windows support. so, you'll need to really put some time/effort in to provide your own support02:18
holsteinAxizor: the proprietary driver are what they are.. they provide support for your device02:18
AxizorThese are two things I'm grateful to have Holstein02:18
holsteinAxizor: if they are "bad" in trusty, let the creators of the code know.. and file a bug as far upstream as you can02:18
holsteinAxizor: there is no reason to assume a newer kernel will provide out of the box support for your device with the open source included driver02:19
AxizorYes, I certainly will if needed02:19

ubottuwickedheadache: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details.05:00
lotuspsychjewickedheadache: we strongly recommend to install a version from topic mate05:00
wickedheadachei don't wanna upgrade tee hee /05:00
wickedheadachehaha05:00
wickedheadachecrap05:00
fegoinfo fego05:01
lotuspsychjewickedheadache: 14.04 will be supported to 2019, might be a good choice05:01
grywickedheadache: you're wicked indeed ;) why not upgrade?05:01
wickedheadachenot sure which version supports gma 4500 best 11.04 11.10 seem faster particularly with flash05:02
wickedheadachei'm trying to figue out if it's unity05:02
wickedheadacheor me mixing natty sources with pecise sources05:03
lotuspsychjewickedheadache: we cant support you on EOL versions mate05:03
wickedheadachedang it05:03
lotuspsychjewickedheadache: backup all your data and install 14.04 :p05:03
wickedheadachewell does mixing sources mess up, up dates in general?05:03
lotuspsychjewickedheadache: upgrades can work, but are more tricky then clean installs05:04
gryit may be a good idea to just tell why you're not upgrading as I would point you to another channel from there05:04
wickedheadachevery much so05:04
grythey not only can work, they also just work too05:04
wickedheadacheit's been hell getting back to 12.0405:04
gryand don't impose it on him until you figure out what the problem is05:04
wickedheadachety gry05:04
lotuspsychjegry: alot of upgrades fail also..05:05
wickedheadachei plan to upgrade but i guess i should have done that first before getting all my apps an stuff i can't use in other installs05:05
gryI've upgraded about 4 times during the years and this desktop is still operational05:05
PurpleHazewhat upgrades fail?05:06
lotuspsychjegry: you are an experienced user also05:06
grynot really, I'm as new as I started05:06

gryout of curiousity, what stuff can't you use in other installs?05:07
wickedheadachewell i reset to update and the gui stopped working05:07
lotuspsychjePurpleHaze: ive seen many boxes have weird leftovers from previous ubuntu versions05:07
wickedheadachei'd like to undo the updates05:07
wickedheadachebut i don't hve a back up setup i guess05:07
lotuspsychjePurpleHaze: everyone doew what he likes, but ill use always clean installs05:07
KsaRedFxAnyone having issues reaching archive.ubuntu.com?05:07
PurpleHaze<lotuspsychje> theres alot of factors to take in to consideration though are they all desktops or servers to?05:08
wickedheadachei'd love to do a clean install05:08
KsaRedFxwickedheadache: Whats holding you back?05:08
wickedheadachebut in the mean time...05:08
PurpleHaze<lotuspsychje> I fixed someones server recently failed because they updated but had Plesk installed05:08
wickedheadachei have no idea why the dvd burner won't burn cdrw05:09
lotuspsychjePurpleHaze: lets focus to support mate05:09
wickedheadachebut i guess it just needs dvdrw05:09
PurpleHaze<lotuspsychje> Wasnt Ubuntus fault it was Plesk that caused the brak05:09
PurpleHazebreak*05:09
PurpleHaze<lotuspsychje>  ok05:09
wickedheadacheso if i had 14 would a rebuild of the os be the same command as in 11? dpkg something?05:10
thechivewickedheadache: a clean install does'nt tke that long05:10
gryI'm not exactly sure what you're referring to -- I've never 'rebuilt the os' using dpkg05:10
wickedheadacheokay how do i tell if my dvd rw will be able to burn a botable cdrw?05:10

CrazyZurferhey guys... my windows partition broke and I try to access it from nautilus but I get a message saying that it cannot access, and that I have to log in to windows and shutdown in order to access, the problem is that windows doesn't work at all05:15
daftykinsCrazyZurfer: ah ok, open a terminal and run "sudo mkdir /mnt/windows" then "sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sdax /mnt/windows" where sdax is actually the windows partition05:16
daftykinsCrazyZurfer: you can confirm which it is by running "sudo fdisk -l" and reading which entry is NTFS05:16
daftykinsdisclaimer though, you may get data loss - so no coming after me with pitchforks if anything is missing :)05:17
PurpleHazecrazyzurfer to fix the windows probbably just needs a chkdsk the fs sounds corupted05:18
lotuspsychjeCrazyZurfer: if it all fails you can try recover data with photorec05:18
daftykinsNo it probably just didn't experience a safe shutdown05:18
wickedheadacheburning cd-r05:18
CrazyZurferPurpleHaze: How should I do that when I can't even boot05:18
daftykinsyou guys are jumping to some serious conclusions05:18
wickedheadachethats what humans do best sometimes05:19
daftykinsCrazyZurfer: you could actually give it a try from a windows vista or above liveUSB05:19
daftykinser, lol, not liveUSB - just install medium05:19
PurpleHazedaftykins as he said he cant boot05:19
wickedheadachei don't have any usb's big eough yet xD05:19
PurpleHazecrazyzurfer how far can you boot?05:19
daftykinsPurpleHaze: yeah the Windows install, not flash drives :)05:19
PurpleHazedaftykins ahh05:20
wickedheadacheheh 52x is a bit faster05:20
PurpleHazedo we support windows installs :)05:20
CrazyZurferPurpleHaze: I'ts windows 8 and I loads the bios.. I see the HP logo, then the sad face :( and says that ntfs system failed, something like that05:21
daftykinswickedheadache: the slower you burn a CD-RW the more likely it is to be read and be reliable05:21
guest493CrazyZurfer: if the message is "The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option", see http://askubuntu.com/questions/14590205:21

PurpleHazecrazyzurfer ok so whats the situation sorry just caught your error reports05:23
CrazyZurferPurpleHaze: I think I will try to mount it in read only mode05:24
PurpleHazecrazyzurfer That will work for recovery or testdisk if you cant read it but would be more satisfying to fix the boot problem05:25

grythechive: hi. what does it have to do with Ubuntu?06:06
PurpleHazeso as the channels quiet what are ppls opinions on switching from upstart to sytemd?06:06
thechivenot the reason I'm here... I originally logged in to find out if any onehad any issues with ninitube carashing06:07
gryPurpleHaze: his/her English appears to be decent; I see that they're saying that the website has a lot of pictures and nice efforts for the humanity.06:07

grythechive: if not, what web browser are you using?06:08
thechiveno06:08
PurpleHazedo any of you know about the switch from upstart to systemd?06:08
thechiveI'm  usiing firefox06:09
gryPurpleHaze: I heard of it and I'm not sure what either of these does or what the difference is.06:09
grythechive: try asking #firefox then — that channel topic has a nice link with troubleshooting instructions.06:09
Bray90820How would i make my windows network accessible on linux if i remember correctly there is a regedit thing i need to do06:09
thechivegry: I installed minitube from the software center06:09
PurpleHazegry thats cool the differences manly affect Linux development and compatiblity06:10
grythechive: okay, minitube is not a website, it's an app. sorry. I guess someone else will help you then as I don't know it.06:10
thechivegry: I have used it in other distros, but for some reason it seems to crash a lot with XUBUNTU06:10
thechiveThanks for attempting gry06:11
grydoes it give you an error message, if so, paste it here. and ask channel, not me -- otherwise they're thinking I am helping you, which I can not do.06:11
PurpleHazethechive firefox in my experience under Linux gets slow with many tabs open and if just one tab hogs ram if left open06:11
gryfirefox is not his problem as minitube is an app, not a website06:12
thechivegry: minitube doesn't give a message, it just shuts down06:12
grystart it from terminal and try again06:12
PurpleHazethechive I ditched it for chromium much better performance I just use firfox these days when I need noscript06:12
thechiveI have un installed, and e installed... I have used it on other distros with not many issues.06:13
thechivePurpleHaze: I have 8 gigs ram... not an issue for the browser....I use noscript and other add ons... but it's not a browser issue06:14
PurpleHazethechive didnt see what your issue was so no probably not browser was just commenting on comments06:16
thechivePurpleHaze: the issue is that the app is crashing with XUBUNTU and not woth other ubuntu based distros.... my question is why06:17
dioioibthechive: this site says to install from source http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube/minitube-linux-setup06:18
PurpleHazethechive what app probably down to gtk or minds gone blank although code with it the kde version06:19
dioioibPurpleHaze: looks like it uses qt06:20
PurpleHazeqt thats the one06:20
PurpleHazethechive xfce uses mainly gtk or Gnome dependencies so if the app uses gtk would explain the crashes maybe06:22
PurpleHazeqt* not gtk06:22
thechivedioioib: I understand that. I guess because I seem to be the ony one familiar with the app.... when I use it with other distros it doesn't have issues..My question for the room was "is anyone familiar with why it is crashing sith XUBUNTU"....06:22
PurpleHazesorry no original was what I meant06:22
thechivePurpleHaze: ok06:22
thechivethanks06:22
dioioibthechive: so as PurpleHaze is explaining the install from source include the dependancies for qt4 and that would explain the crashing06:23
thechiveAND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! :) and no ... I'm not being a smart @$$06:23
dioioiblol06:23
dioioibwell the whole idea of Xbuntu though is to be lightweight so as soon as you use on of those libraries the desktop is going to use more ram. :(06:24

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1232952 in udev (Ubuntu) "Brightness controls do not change brightness" [Undecided,Confirmed]06:55
dioioibRajvi: cna you explain the issue a little more is this a hardware issue?06:56
epipercepiwow. much uncertainty. many things strangely. amazing. fascinating.06:56
PurpleHaze<epipercepi> without reading your code whats wrong with it?06:56
* epipercepi raises the Spock eyebrow06:56
RajviI tried to follo the steps mentions, but i think I missed somewhere06:56
epipercepiPurpleHaze- i think it's ok but i commented a couple lines out i'm unsure of how to fix06:56
epipercepiand i really just want to auto-op only a select few nicks, including one i want to verify as by their [name]@[IP].. they don't seem to login with CService on Undernet so i can't rely on other stuff.06:57
epipercepiand i don't know whether that IP is static or dynamic either ;l06:57
dioioibRajvi: did you create an xorg.conf file like they instructed in the comments?06:57
wickedheadacheis it normal for a cd to not even be recognized after buning?06:57
epipercepii figure a /whois piped with two greps will verify that they are the same dude06:57
epipercepinot sure how the pipes work or what06:57
RajviI did06:58
Rajvibut i messed my Xserver06:58
epipercepiwickedheadache- yeah it just is a coaster now unless you didn't 'finalize' it.06:58
wickedheadacheit did everything06:58
PurpleHaze<epipercepi> Ive never coded for irc but the fact its commented out doesent help06:58
RajviI creeated then x server won't server06:58
dioioibRajvi: yeah that can happen. Um did mesa compile properly? I always have issues compiling that06:58
wickedheadacheisn't a cd coded not to work in dvd's?06:58
Rajvii m A novice06:59
root33/logger  list06:59
dioioibRajvi: ok.06:59
Rajvilet me try  again06:59
dioioibanyone have any simple solution for Rajvi? all I can find is a kernel patch solution. And I am not going to get a novice to patch a kernel. :)07:01
PurpleHazewhats his problem?07:02
dioioibbrightness key is not working on his laptop07:02
dioioibI found this and that is about it. http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/18007:02
PurpleHazenot me07:02
dioioibyeah I have never had that happen before. I found a grub solution and a kernel patch and this.07:03
PurpleHazeTheres nothing wrong with that fix so go ahead07:04
dioioibyeah wouldn't break the system at all. worst case it won't work.07:04
PurpleHazeyeah07:05
dioioibRajvi: try this solution: http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/18007:05
dioioibyou are just echo'ing a setting into the config to change your brightness so pick a number between 1 and 10.07:06
wickedheadachecrap, i'm assumeing the iso is a copy of a dvd...being ritten to cd...then boots as cd when its a dvd iso07:06
epipercepiPurpleHaze- it's an ubuntu pastebin dude. are you unable to read normally? it may not work in braille and stuff sorry.07:06

epipercepinah i only like kde07:30
epipercepiand i don't need non-plug'n'play *nix if i have k/ubuntu. i use synaptic for updates as well as muon and i don't care. system-kernel is muon usually. everything else is synaptic. i just use the gtk stuff also. it's all in there07:31
PurpleHaze<epipercepi>  thats the whole point aprt from the stage3 (minimal Linux) you choose whatever you want07:31
PurpleHazewhat Linux is07:31
epipercepianyway not messing with my box anyway.. i need to just make a script that works in kde/ubuntu and in xchat. a dude i know gave me an xchat script to start up on but i can't hardly read it! lol. i read code way better than i write too07:31
epipercepiunless i just keep hacking at a command / line07:31
epipercepiPurpleHaze- *nix with kernels made by ol' Linus himself.07:32
epipercepiwell, i prefer debian-based. that way i keep the kernel stuff straight better. */ubuntu is debian-based. backwards compat pretty sure07:32
PurpleHazeit is Linus is good *nix came alot before him07:32
epipercepiyeah but he changed the face of it forever :)07:32
epipercepibefore then it was like, AT&T, Solaris, and other unices. after.. distro city.07:33

PurpleHazerot3 apt-get resticts packages mainly the kernel but sometimes other packages that could break dependencies, aptitude will try to install them but look for work arounds and ask if they are okjk07:37
bazhangepipercepi, wherever, just *not* here please07:37
epipercepisure. get PurpleHaze to comply too and i will. i'll just respond with "talk to me in #ubuntu-offtopic please about that or bazhang will kick us both" ok?07:38
epipercepisomething like that.07:38
epipercepiheh. they're not even *in* that chan. ;p07:38
PurpleHaze<epipercepi>  what do you wannaq talk about?07:39
PurpleHazerot3 if your a noob stick with apt-get or whatever the gui version is07:41
epipercepiroot3- use synaptic it's easiest for gui on ubuntu.07:45
epipercepii recommend it because it has a good search and view setup in gui :)07:45
epipercepifor cli i use apt-get or dpkg and surely 'clean' a lot more than i need. first, last, and anytime i do anything after. unless that'd already be last.07:45
epipercepiso like every other command. my apt-get stuff reads like "sudo apt-get clean autoclean [commandHere] clean [loopUntilLastCommandHere] clean"07:46
epipercepi[] are actual apt-get commands. use any like that it'll stay clean..ish.07:46
PurpleHazeapt-get cleans old kernels to iirc07:47
PurpleHaze*removes07:47
epipercepiuse "clean autoclean clean" at the end to be really really careful. also remember those commands have a 'test' option always (both apt-get and dpkg) .. some command. use 'man' (manual pages) or type "man apt-get" or "man dpkg" for those .. easy to use pgup, arrow keys, end key, so on. with that..07:48
epipercepithe testing option just spits out what it *would* do but does nothing actually. be careful because it looks exactly as if it did stuff. don't be afraid to use it first before a 'clean'. then apt-get will do it all as a simulation only and spit out text in cli to tell you what would happen only. use it the same exactly without the testing command at front (past apt-get, or past dpkg) and it will actually run it. try withou07:49
epipercepit and with sudo if that worked ok in testing. then try the same order without testing. that should keep your packages and files safer.07:49

epipercepiyou reboot, use the built-in commands (keyboard shortcut) .. check ubuntu docs online first. then try to do that all *after* you try to just login normally with ctrl-alt-F# (#== a number of F-key) and then try to just login as your username inside there08:25
epipercepiif that fails your login is wrong. btw, 'login' may not be right for that command. i was just winging it. check your manpages and/or google for whether that'd work. anyone know, feel free to chime in on that now.08:25

minimecn008: update/upgrade keeps your installed system up-to-date. It doesn't do a release upgrade. Official upgrade 12.04 -> 14.04 will come with 14.04.1 during summer. You can on the other hand upgrade your system 12.04 -> 14.04 even now using 'sudo update-manager -d'.08:36
icerootn008: update = get a list of the new packages for your release, it will not change a single package, upgrade = upgrade the current installed packages to the latest (security) version from the repos WITHOUT changing other packages (dependencies), dist-upgrade = the same as upgrade but also changing other packages as well.08:39

bagindovis it because i upgraded the kernel too? because i checked the download all08:48
damianoice i try, thank you08:48

bagindovyes, i checked all the download available, its about 250 mb08:53
minimecbagindov: I would first try to trace the cause for the black screen. After booting, switch to a console <ctrl><alt>F1, login and 'nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. Read the end of the logfile. It schould give you some informations, why the xserver fails to start.08:53
bagindovwhen the updates finished, it's ask for reboot, right? but when booting up to eos or ubuntu it's just a blackscreen like a terminal a blinking cursor08:54
icerootbagindov: does an os start? or is grub (the bootmenu) not able to start something at all?08:55
bagindovit's just a blackscreen like when you press ctrl+alt+f108:56
bagindovin the grub menu there's an advanced options right? and theres a menu like linux-generic bla bla bla and i choose the old version one, i succesfully boot to ubuntu log in screen but my screen is inverted08:58
bagindovit's screen inverted like when you upside down your monitor08:59

EmsYohh, I don't know what to do. :( I need to fix it fast but no one can help me.09:38
minimecEmsY: Ok. So you can 'mv .bashrc-bak .bashrc' if you want to get the bash configuration back. If I have a problem in linux, I normally verify, if the problem is 'system wide' or limited to the user. So in your case I would 'sudo adduser testuser' and login as testuser. Can 'testuser' open a terminal?09:39

EmsYwhiskers75: typed in  'chsh emils' then '/bin/sh/' then again 'cshs emils' and then '/bin/bash'09:47

DusXMT*Ewww09:53

WolfLambertI still prefer Chrome.10:30
psrynchromium is doing the same thing10:30
EmsYDusXMT: That good feel when you fix something. Can't do this with windows, that's why I love ubuntu so much.10:30
c2tarunpsryn, if you have any other device on same network like cellphone or a tablet, try opening same site on that device.10:30

SCHAAP137fixing stuff on Windows is easy as well, just use regedit.exe10:31

EmsYwow, it's really long :D10:40
SCHAAP137yeah those are the kernel messages, the boot sequence10:41

SCHAAP137u can direct the output to a text file first, like: dmesg >> dmesg.txt10:41
EmsYhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7385796/10:41

new0hey everyone. finally i have my ubuntu up & running (with Unity/Xfce). just few setup left to do. i have 2 screens, how can i set the main screen? (when i open an app it's been open to the other screen)12:01
new0also, how would i backup all my things? (i want to make fresh installation again) and this time i want to setup up all my file/folders (personal & apps) to be in other Dir than home folder12:02
MrokiiCapprentice: According to the net: "you can now create your own app folders from GNOME Software: go to the Installed view, select some applications and then choose which folder you want them to belong to"12:03
grynew0: good question about screens but i dunno (try #xubuntu / #xfce); i personally back up entire partitions to an external drive but it's your call12:03
new0gry, great thought. i have this, now what is the files/folder that i do need to backup? also what folder can i store my original info? like /var/...personal instead of /home/~/.....12:06

gryno, but you can do this in quassel12:31
junkaGuest73692, you can set a fake mac address by editing your desired connection through networkmanager12:31
grynew0: run quasselcore on one machine, connect to it with quassel client at either of them (www.quassel-project.org, quasselcore or quassel-core package, I don't remember)12:31

Guest73692junka: thanks12:36
gryquassel-irc.org12:36
new0gry righttnx12:37
Fuchsnew0: also to correct gry: yes, this is possible, if you have a bouncer in between12:40
Fuchsthen you can connect with whatever client you want (including xchat) as many times as you want12:40
junkaanyone uses cairo-dock?12:41
junkahow do i force it to use opengl?12:41
new0Fuchs, sound interesting.. what is bouncer? and how to install it?12:41
Fuchsnew0: a program which sits between your IRC client and a server, playing client for the server and playing server for the client12:41
Fuchsnew0: znc is an example, a good one, even12:41
new0Fuchs, sure.. how to?12:42
Fuchsinstall: like any other program/service. So on the machine you'd run quassel core you run znc  (the machine should be up 24/7 for best results), and then on your other machines instead of connecting to freenode you connect to that znc12:42
Fuchshttp://wiki.znc.in/ZNC    << there.12:42
qweasdzxcroot3: hello12:43
new0Fuchs, so i do got to install this quassel.. thing?12:43
Fuchsnew0: only if you want to. I'd recommend not, if you are happy with xchat12:43
root3qweasdzxc: who are you?12:43
Fuchsnew0: just install znc on a machine that runs, connect that znc to freenode for you, then use xchat (or whatever client you like) to connect to that znc12:43
qweasdzxcroot3: you helped me earlier12:43
Fuchsyou can then connect from as many clients as you like, and all of them will be the same nick/user on freenode12:43
new0Fuchs, so this znc got to run on online server not my computer, right? can i just run a program in my computer and run the clients from that one?12:45
Fuchsnew0: you can also run znc on your computer if you want to12:45
new0Fuchs, *run the clients on that one12:45
new0Fuchs, ok. first step is to install quassel?12:45
Fuchsnew0: you can run the client and znc even on the same computer. Usually people running znc are running that on a server, so it runs 24/712:45
Fuchsnew0: no, you don't need quassel. Unless you want to use quassel. Which you might not want to12:46
new0Fuchs, not need 24/7. just for the time been12:46
Fuchsnew0: quassel has a similar concept: it is two components: one core part, that can run anywhere, and one or more clients that connect to that core12:46
Fuchsnew0: znc does the same as quassel core, with the difference that the clients connecting can be anything  (e.g. xchat), while with quassel core you have to use the quassel client12:46
Fuchsso if you like xchat and want to keep using it, I'd recommend using znc instead of quassel core12:47
new0Fuchs, with quassel i have to be only with quassel not xchat. right? and znc any clients?12:47
Fuchsthe concept is the same, though. You run  either quassel core or znc on one computer, and then connect from clients on the same / other computers as you desire.12:47
Fuchsnew0: correct.12:47
fathyi`m  hhere12:48
new0Fuchs, right :) tnx so much. i will (try) to use znc12:48
Fuchsor you realize that both are a bit of an overkill for you, and you just connect with two separate xchat instances when needed. Then they have different nicks, though.12:48
basichashDo I install GRUB to /sda or /sda1?12:48
FuchsYou're welcome.12:48
fathythnxxx \12:48
Fuchsbasichash: mixed.  The bootloader itself needs to be in the MBR of the disk, hence sda, but its files need to be on /boot, whatever partition that is on12:48
Fuchs(e.g. sda1, if that contains /boot)12:49
new0Fuchs, r u here for the next 20m or so.  if i need some guideness on that?12:49
philinuxbasichash;~ any other os on the machine?12:49
Fuchsnew0: I am afraid I'm not, no. I need to go to town before the post office closes12:49
Fuchsnew0: there is the #znc  channel on this network though12:50
basichashnope, just reformatted my ntfs partitions to an ext4 partition, and the installer is asking me to install GRUB to either /dev/sda or /dev/sda112:50
new0Fuchs, oh, well good luck and tnx :)12:50
Fuchsnew0: you can  /join #znc     and ask there if you are stuck, but the wiki I linked earlier  is a good resource and should answer most questions12:50

Sven_vBnew0, SSH usually doesn't have a window but is connected to a terminal. you could try X forwarding to run XChat remotely in its own window. however, it might be more performant to run XChat locally and only connect to the IRC server via ssh.13:03

kingplusplusHow do i get around the problem of switching user in Xubuntu? When i switch from user A to B it works but getting back to A from B i see a black screen which means I have to restart because nothing else works. Please someone should give me advise on how to solve this.14:53
compdockroson, where would I look?14:53
dreamonIotaSpencer, I had 12.04 -> update to 14.04 pulseaudio a endless noise14:53
SCHAAP137let jack connect so the pulseaudio sink14:53
SCHAAP137and make pulse default14:53
IotaSpencerSCHAAP137: how14:53
SCHAAP137then jack becomes like a kind of ASIO control panel14:54
SCHAAP137it's awesome14:54
krosoncompdoc: right click on an Icon on the desktop, properties or something14:54
SCHAAP137i think my setup was like this IotaSpencer14:54
SCHAAP137i had alsa as the system sound device, then i have pulse routing everything from the sink towards ALSA14:55
SCHAAP137then i had jack routing everything to the pulseaudio sink14:55
IotaSpenceryes and I don't know how to set that up14:55
SCHAAP137and apps like supercollider and ardour etc all to jack14:55
compdockroson, it lets me resize icons one at a time. that would be a pain.14:56
SCHAAP137change the jack config IotaSpencer14:56

n-sthi, i upgraded my laptop from 12.04.4 to 14.04 today and "screwed up" doesn't even begin to describe its current state. i'm trying to downgrade all packages to the versions available for 12.04 according to these instructions (http://askubuntu.com/a/3675/), but apt wants to remove quite a lot of stuff that worked on 12.04 (e.g. snmpd and vlc). how can i find out which unmet depencies causes that?15:07
IotaSpencern-st: its easier to just downgrade with a usb15:07
n-sts/depencies/dependencies/15:07
n-stIotaSpencer: you mean booting from a live cd/usb and selecting the installer's upgrade option?15:08
n-stwasn't there a rather nasty bug with that?15:08
IotaSpencerI'm talking about a full install, no upgrades and shit15:08

IotaSpencern-st: make backups of your configs then you don't have to reconfigure :p15:11
n-stIotaSpencer: my system is half ubuntu and half convoluted mess of self-compiled stuff, so it _will_ take a while to restore the state i had a few hours ago :/15:11
IotaSpencerhm15:12
n-sti always wanted to make a list of what i changed, but i never got around to it :|15:12
OerHeksn-st, that post is an old and bad advise to downgrade. backup and reinstall is the only solution15:13
n-stat least i'm using etckeeper, so i could undo the config changes made by the release upgrade15:13
MonkeyDustn-st  that's called a "frankenbuntu"15:13

abduknow i use ubuntu but i  wana be back up my all file15:15
n-stso, what about the dependency issue? what could make apt think that it can't keep snmpd, vlc and more than a hundred libraries, although it's using the same sources.list as before?15:16
IotaSpencern-st: the libraries and such would've been updated for that specific version I suppose15:17

mega1how do i find the program the is sending out packets from my server 10.0415:22
ogra_n-st, you cant downgrade if the system core was already upgraded (libc and friends) there is simply no way ... try to get your 14.04 working or reinstall15:22
n-stso i booted a live cd, chrooted into the ubuntu installation and finished the upgrade (alternating between apt-get install -f and apt-get dist-upgrade until it didn't want to install/configure anything anymore)15:22

IotaSpencermega1: spy on your traffic and see what the packets look like?15:24
ogra_well, it is very likely that the handling of these has changed anyway in 14.0415:24
n-stmega1: iftop15:24
ogra_you would have to adapt your manual modifications15:24
n-stogra_: that's why i want to downgrade to 12.04 :|15:24
ogra_you cant15:24
n-stwhy not? i've got the old config, i just need the old binaries :/15:25
IotaSpencern-st: the only way to downgrade is to install the older version of ubuntu fully15:25
OerHeksn-st, 3 people answered you cannot, how many answers do you need before you understand?15:25
n-sti don't care if my system becomes conscious or creatures crawl from the abyss, i just want my working system back! :(15:26
spaz-grenadeis there a gnome distro channel I should be asking that question in instead?15:26
ogra_how would haveing an old config help ? if the new binary doesnt use the same options anymore15:26
junka#ubuntu-gnome spaz-grenade also #gnome15:26
spaz-grenadecoolbeans15:26
n-stogra_: the new binaries obviously don't, that's why it's such an usable mess right now. i haven't lost hope yet that the old binaries might get my a working mess until i can set it up properly15:27
ogra_you surely dont want to use any of your old /etc ... and for configs you have had in /home you will have to make sure they work with the new versions15:27

Pessimistlawnewbie, save ~/15:29
ogra_the new binaries are linked against new library versions ... you cant go backwards with your libraries ... unless you do a reinstall of 12.0415:29

jhutchinsinnocent95: When it comes to certification, RedHat is probably the most marketable.16:03
jhutchinsinnocent95: That or solaris.16:04
gryit's interesting that the debian-based stuff isn't that marketable I guess16:04

* amireldor am I "nuts"?16:05
innocent95jhutchins, Solaris, Unix ?16:05
jhutchinsgry: The main reason is that if someone is relying on certification to hire, they're more likely to know/use RedHat.16:05
amireldorok thx got my answer u guys are awesome16:06
jhutchinsinnocent95: Sun Solaris is a version of Unix.16:06
innocent95Okay16:06
gryjhutchins: exactly the kind of thing I don't understand -- why would they be more likely to etc etc (for servers I've seen debian all over, but I never worked professionally. Are they doing desktop things?)16:07

veryhappyHey guys, can it be that a bios update destroys the possibility to install/boot from GRUB?16:11
jhutchinsveryhappy: Not likely.16:11
veryhappyok16:12
viper474veryhappy, what do you mean by install from GRUB?16:13
veryhappyi thought, because i made a bios update last time for my netbook and now i don't know why i can't install grub anymore, probably i need EFI but i don't know anything about it, might be i'll have to install that16:13
holsteinveryhappy: you can contact the manufacterer, or poke around in the bios for secure boot or options that are blocking what you are trying to do..16:14
veryhappywell in the bios there's not any option like it16:15
holsteinveryhappy: then, maybe the bios is not blocking anything..16:16
viper474veryhappy, what's the make and model bro?16:16

wheresmypaaantsHi there19:54
wheresmypaaantsI'm looking for Logitech drivers for ubuntu?19:54
holsteinbray90820: should be able to use gigolo to connect easily.. gigolo is in the repos19:54
holsteinwheresmypaaants: they should just be included in the kernel.. what are you trying to do?19:54
sombot_OerHeks, yes, this is exactly what I had done before, but it didn't work19:54
wheresmypaaantswell, nothing is detecting my C270 webcam19:54

holsteinwheresmypaaants: the vendor, logitech, may not provide support for linux19:55
MonkeyDustwheresmypaaants  does it show with    lsusb19:55
wheresmypaaantsyes19:55
wheresmypaaantsbut cheese says theres no device found19:56
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam#Identifying_Your_Webcam19:56
bray90820holstein: on my old windows box i remember changing the registry and then it worked by default19:56
wheresmypaaantsbut lsusb says Logitech, Inc. Webcam C27019:56
wheresmypaaantsls /dev/audio* doesnt exist but ls /dev/video* returns /dev/video019:56
holsteinbray90820: ok.. if you want to address it on the windows side, you'll need windows support.. otherwise, samba is the way to go.. though, if its already shared, gigolo should be able to mount the share19:57
bray90820holstein: thanks19:57
holsteinbray90820: there is nothing in the windows registry that will enable samba sharing on the linux side19:57

sombot_is it possible to solve the missing ldconfig problem by simply copying it from somewhere else?19:59
holsteinbray90820: you are asking to access an already existing windows share from linux..20:00
holsteinbray90820: the windows sharing server is already setup, then.. if not, you need to create a share20:00
bray90820holstein: the windows share is already setup20:01
holsteinbray90820: cool.. have you tried using gigolo from linux to access it?20:01
holsteinif not.. thats what i suggest trying, or read the samba documenation i gave.. otherwise, you dont make linux connect to that share by editing the windows registry20:01
bray90820holstein: what I am trying to tell you in there was a way i got it to work last time with the regular connect to network20:02
holsteinbray90820: ok.. unless you remember, or can elaborate, i suggest reading the samba documentaion.. or just try gigolo to see if you can connect or not20:02
bray90820Like i said i needed to do a regedit in windows20:03
holsteinbray90820: otherwise, you dont make changes on the sharing server to configure connecting clients20:03
holsteinbray90820: sure. and im disagreeing with you.. you *dont* need to do that20:03
bray90820holstein: then why did it work last time20:03
holsteinbray90820: you are asking how to make linux connect to your windows share by changing the windows registry.. and you dont20:03
holsteinbray90820: you can use gigolo to easily test connections to samba shares20:04
smithwHi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on a computer with an IDE hdd. The livecd, however, is unable to see any hard disks on this machine (not on gparted, not on lsblk, and not on /dev/hd*). This machine currently boots to its HD (which currently has windows xp) without issue. any ideas what might be going wrong?20:04
bray90820holstein: why did it work last time then20:04
holsteinbray90820: it didnt.. you are not asking the question that the link you gave addresses20:05
bray90820holstein: It did tho20:05
holsteinbray90820: i think either you are being unclear, or inaccurate, or i am misunderstanding you.. please use gigolo from linux to connect to the windows share, or elaboarate, or wait on another volunteer20:06
bray90820holstein: what do you think i mean20:06
holsteinbray90820: i think you mean what you asked.. how to connect linux to your windows share.. in which case, you use samba.. and you can try gigolo to connect to the windows share20:07
zach_How are you20:07

xenolyse14.04 is really bad for being a LTS release. I've never had this much problems and errors in maybe 6-7 years of several linux distributions. .

leejohnJordan_U: this is fine if the home directory of the users reside in the local machine but not in the NFS server23:47
