[00:00] we 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] verme - so unity yes? [00:00] ive been stalling to upgrade the new vers. - they come out too quickly. [00:00] biffbaxter, I think so [00:00] biffbaxter, I think yes [00:00] once im setup with on rev. a new one comes out- that everyone is forcing.

[00:17] p1l0t: well where does 10.0.x.0/24 reside? [00:17] xubuntu_: its sicial media from before social media existed [00:18] Whiskey1, right now i eth0 10.0.0.10/255.192.0.0 [00:18] subcool: that doesnt make sense if the packages are in, mmm, maybe fuse needs rebuilt? [00:18] I see [00:18] xubuntu_: Many people talking to many people on same access . [00:18] still not being able to access anything outside 10.0.0.* [00:18] p1ro: ah on so its not /24 and not subnets [00:19] Ah like party line telephone [00:19] what does ip addr sho say [00:19] how to enable apt-get to install i386 packages? [00:19] xubuntu_: kinda ya [00:19] I have an semi-advanced question concerning Ubiquity. [00:19] Whiskey, uninstall/reinstall? [00:19] the packages are probably named lib32-* [00:19] Is the package containing keyboard layouts not the same as the default xkb-data ? [00:19] Whiskey, this is on two machines, so- [00:19] unless your on a multiarch system [00:20] then youd use libraryname:i386 [00:20] Oh guyz did u here? NATO now considers russia an adversary [00:20] subcool: fun. well, i dunno with out seeing dmesg and such [00:21] Whiskey, i gave one-- ill do it again.

[00:26] I set up rutorrent for multi users [00:26] on a vps [00:26] and if it makes you feel better ive been screwed for days by 14.04 [00:26] my usb hub might be going bad.. [00:26] but I get, No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file. [00:26] lol [00:26] Whiskey1, can u check ur priv? [00:26] subcool: ah hubs suck, plug in directly if possible [00:26] p1ro: my priv goes to /dev/null [00:27] and the funny thing was, it worked for one user, now I managed somehow to screw it up [00:27] :p [00:27] I need some help configuring Ubiquity to recognize a more up-to-date version of xkb-data [00:27] omfg! [00:27] omgwtf: ah i see. well i have damn near zero knowlage in that area [00:27] Whiskey1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7382894/ [00:27] p1ro: im sorry that you did not ASK before sending me stuff, see WHY it goes there? [00:28] /dev/null funny [00:28] I guess I'm gonna wait until support emails me back eh [00:28] ok [00:28] sorry [00:28] hi, if some1 can help, im trying to be able to have internet over (wlan0) and lan with sub-nets over (eth0) [00:29] p1ro: ok the ip you have does not match what you said before, 10.135.0.10 (you said 10.0.0.10) [00:29] no it dowes now [00:29] 10.0.0.1 i was using as example [00:29] ok [00:30] p1ro: ok i think i see the issue [00:31] A) you always are using subnets, so stop saying that [00:31] B) define the network you want to access directly, B1) Are any networks going to be accessed via routing [00:32] well 10.135.0.1 is a gateway [00:32] p1l0t: from here it looks like you have a /10 subnet [00:32] but i cant even ping there [00:33] have you made sure cables nad such are correct? and what is the subnet mask on that rotuer? [00:33] router* [00:33] using nemo in xubuntu. do i need additional packages to show thumbnail previews for videos? [00:33] who configured it? is it a soho peice of gear? [00:34] Whiskey1, with same configuration im able to ping 10.202.100.1 from windows [00:35] Whiskey1, i did set on network-manager app use this only for local resources [00:35] or something like [00:35] 10.202.100.1 is NOT directly accessable from your ethernet ip of 10.135.0.10/10 [00:35] so you had to have a route setup OR it used your INET adapter and happen to have a responce [00:35] but is reading the gateway 10.135.0.1 [00:35] ip ro sho [00:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7383018/ [00:36] hi, is anyone good with bind9 configuration? [00:37] that looks good [00:37] mmm [00:37] ping 10.135.0.1 [00:37] Whiskey, none of it hleped\ [00:37] then cat /proc/net/arp [00:37] subcool: anything diff in dmesg? [00:37] maybe my SD usb hub is dieing and i have to find another one, but- [00:38] even bypassing the usb hub with the sd in the samsung, it still 150 error ms [00:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7383051/ [00:39] Whiskey1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7383062/ [00:39] I need some help configuring Ubiquity to recognize a more up-to-date version of xkb-data [00:40] subcool: it really looks like your SD adapter (why do you call it a hub?) is broken or not working [00:40] If this is not the appropriate channel for that type of question, I would appreciate being directed to a more suitable one [00:40] 10.135.0.1 0x1 0x2 00:01:5c:44:9e:41 [00:40] so the IP layer is working [00:41] are you /sure/ its a /10 subnet and not a /24? [00:42] is 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? [00:43] that mac comes back as a cmts mmmmm [00:43] Whiskey1, yes there is a dhcp server, but im setting this one manual [00:43] what do you get when you do dhcp? [00:44] p1ro, do a route -n and post it [00:44] for 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 connect [00:44] omgwtf: already looked at it, not it [00:44] ah [00:44] misconfiguration maybe on a dhcp/static config === UltimateNate is now known as U1timat3Tr0113r [00:44] p1ro: ok do that and then give the output again of ip addr and ip ro sho [00:45] i suspect something doesnt match [00:45] Hi all. Wifi will see my router but wont connect (authentication failed). Tried with a ubuntu CD on same machine and failed as well. Tried with other computer and succeeded. Could my network card be broken? [00:46] omgwtf, whiskey1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7383161/ [00:46] enigma, try maybe removing any wireless security and try to see if you can connect [00:46] p1ro: that was not while you had the wlan0 down [00:46] omgwtf: ok [00:46] that rules out any incompabilities [00:46] omgwtf: the issue is NOT the wireless [00:47] its the wired [00:47] Thanks all for directing me to #ubuntu-installer :/ [00:48] Whiskey1, if he can't ping any ip on the wired network yeah [00:48] I agree [00:48] omgwtf: 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. [00:50] enigma, thats strange [00:50] with the same wireless network / shared key ? [00:51] omgwtf: 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. [00:52] did you try on different wireless networks ? [00:52] like public hotspot? [00:52] to see if it does the same thing [00:52] omgwtf: nope, not yet (I live in the woods, really) [00:52] omgwtf: My android connects well too. [00:52] nice, I'd love to live in a remote area :P [00:53] well maybe if you go to a friends house try to see [00:53] Whiskey1, you want same but without wkan0? [00:53] omgwtf: It gets crazy lonely after a while. And this winter was longer than usual [00:53] if it does the same thing, def the wireless network [00:53] card [00:53] I live in montreal and we had got our part of snow [00:53] omgwtf, I guess I will have to try other wireless spots, like you said. [00:54] does the laptop work if you plug it with the cable? [00:54] omgwtf, hey, I live near Rimouski, so I guess we had a similar winter :-) [00:54] omgwtf, yes, it does [00:55] omgwtf, I even checked the bios, just in case [00:56] probably the wifi nic, but just to be sure check it on some public hotspot [00:56] omgwtf, wlan0 can be found. Since it seems to exchange with the router, I guess it does "kind of" work. [00:56] ok, will do [00:56] you could also get ettercap [00:57] to see maybe which packets are exchanged [00:57] help you troubleshoot further lol [00:57] or if you're curious :P [00:57] omgwtf: Yes, but that would require some patience :-) [00:57] omgwtf, Thanks a lot for your help. [00:57] glad I could help with something [00:58] hey, the snow is melting! [00:58] well back to my rutorrent issues === U1timat3Tr0113r is now known as UltimateNate [01:01] is there anything running on ubuntu that can function as an apple airplay client ... i saw somethign claiming to be a totem plugin for that, but wasn't able to get it to work (moved it where it told me , but it wasn't recognized) [01:04] using uck if i select run console application and then apt-get install gimp when i install ubuntu on my computer from that uck iso will gimp be installed [01:05] Hiya. Just wanted to let people know about my WIP Linux game, which will be released on Steam and the USC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93007501 [01:06] Don't flood this channel with questions xD, I'll be in #facade. Thanks === UltimateNate is now known as [O]UltimateNate [01:11] hi, anyone good with bind9 config? [01:13] anyone [01:13] using uck if i select run console application and then apt-get install gimp when i install ubuntu on my computer from that uck iso will gimp be installed [01:15] Hello. Are there any good alternatives to gnome keyring? I am using ECDSA keys, and Gnome keyring does not seem to handle those well, if at all [01:16] is there a channel for vnc? [01:17] i cant find one. i got this situation where i want to run a vnc viewer from a server... [01:19] grendal_prime: I don't know about any vnc channels, but if you describe your problem I might be able to help [01:19] bazhang, you were the one to tell me about ack right [01:20] grendal_prime: to connect to the desktop of a VNC server from a command line only machine? 0o [01:21] right 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] seems like unnecessary obfuscation to me [01:22] like a vnc gateway. Similar to like forwarding via ssh but using ssl insead? [01:22] plus VNC is unsafe anywho [01:22] what? [01:22] ok think like this. [01:22] i got 10 machines. i want 10 people to have access to each one . i have one gateway that is running apache. [01:23] sorry 10 people to each have access to 1 machine each. [01:23] reconfigure to sequential ports [01:23] 5900 -> 5909 [01:23] ;) [01:23] no...then they have to have a client..that sucks. [01:23] which you could host on your site [01:23] there are like, plugin based clients afaik [01:23] grendal_prime: So what you are looking for is a web based VNC client? [01:24] there are java ones.. [01:24] i think he more wants it to execute upon the server too [01:24] grendal_prime: Take a look at this: https://kanaka.github.io/noVNC/ [01:24] what 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. [01:25] yaaaa thats what im talken bout. === daniel is now known as Guest56699 [01:26] that way you can have like a vnc session manager to several machines...hmm...and i would hope you could shoot a url thatwould have all the info built right in. [01:26] great, the github page should get you started [01:26] have you built one before? [01:27] i don't see it saying how it handles the running-on-the-gateway-but-connects-inside sort of thing [01:27] i did see it talk of proxy but... *shrug* [01:27] no, sorry, but I have heard it mentioned at work [01:28] and you are a....network engineer? system admin? porn star? [01:28] or like me and all of those things? [01:30] I work with systems security, mostly, but I work with a lot of network engineers ;) [01:30] off topic guys. [01:31] sorry [01:31] not really if he was an auto mechanic i would disregard the info. [01:31] or only a porn star. [01:31] thanks [01:31] got to go [01:31] but to be fair, saying "off topic" is off topic too :P [01:31] and saying that saying .... Now back to support. [01:32] i'm trying to connect remotely but keep getting a "connection timed out" error. i've configured everything correctly and the router firewall was even turned off temporarily for testing, but i always get the same message [01:34] Whiskey, referring back to my last pastebin, the thing is - what is dening me the ability to mount the drives properly through the tablet? [01:35] uncle_ben: Define "connect remotely", please [01:35] using uck if i select run console application and then apt-get install gimp when i install ubuntu on my computer from that uck iso will gimp be installed [01:35] uncle_ben: attempting to SSH from internet side into home LAN PC? [01:37] daftykins, yes [01:38] uncle_ben: so, port 22? :) openssh-server installed on the system, "ssh localhost" works to confirm? [01:38] basketball, not quite sure what uck is but...if you install ubuntu- do you have to install gimp at the same time...or can it be installed afterwards ?

[01:39] How do i go back on the "light" ubuntu web browser :P [01:40] !uck | larrypg [01:40] larrypg: uck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [01:40] daftykins, i don't have that info available right now and i'm not at that computer at the moment...can you at least tell me which tool to use to do the port scan and what i should do if it doesn't find it?

[01:43] then you have a problem with port configuration in your router [01:44] Segfault_: true, but useful if you want to see if the traffic is coming in on the server side. [01:44] Segfault_, but i even turned off the firewall on my router completely, but it didn't make a difference [01:44] uncle_ben: oh so you're not home atm? [01:44] whatismyip.com though. [01:44] daftykins, no i'm not [01:44] Do you know if you are on a NAT? [01:45] Segfault_, i don't know [01:45] If you are you will have to use 'port forwarding' [01:45] Segfault_, ok, well i can at least test that...which port should i forward to? === izaya is now known as Izaya [01:46] you need to tell the router that connections on port 22 are to be forwarded to a specific computer on the network [01:46] in this case the computer running openssh [01:47] Segfault_, hmmmm...ok...can you give me a link for how to do that? [01:47] that depends on your router. Do you have any info about your router? [01:48] Segfault_, ugh...it's a hybrid modem/router from my isp...who knows where it was manufactured! [01:48] i'm probably going to have to call them too about this [01:48] hi again, from ISRAELITEAM [01:49] uncle_ben: then it will be hard explaining how to do this. You can try looking around here http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm [01:50] why is everyone quiet again? [01:50] Segfault_, ok thanks...i had a feeling this was going to become a big headache [01:51] played 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. [01:52] Hardcheese: does it persist after a system restart? [01:52] 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 attacks [01:53] and read this as well http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-bsd-openssh-server-best-practices.html [01:53] nerp: hopefully not. Can't restart right now though. [01:54] Hardcheese: is it possible that some screenblanking process is still active in the background even after the game was closed? [01:54] Segfault_, 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 help [01:54] anyone help me with postfix?

I don't know (I don't even know what that is) [01:57] Question, in creating a link to a folder on my Windows partitioned HD... it never seems to persist. I restart, and then the link is dead. Any way I can fix this? [01:58] Hardcheese: are you on IRC with a different machine? [01:58] Izaya: what kind of link where? [01:58] nerp: nope, but I can barely see anything. But I'll just try to restart the computer. [01:59] Hardcheese: you can try dropping into another tty with ctrl alt f1, you can come back to the gui with ctrl alt f7 [02:00] I forgot how to reset my GRUB on an ASUS laptop. Anyone? [02:00] amireldor: 'reset' ? [02:00] once in the terminal mode you can try using ps auxf or something like htop to see if there is anything that shouldnt be there [02:00] daftykins, new OS, sorry [02:00] i guess i don't exist! [02:01] pancakes9, try /help [02:01] brb [02:03] i did [02:03] Hardcheese: any luck? [02:03] daftykins - sorry for the delay. I go to that file on the Windows partitioned HD, rclick, and then move it to my dekstop [02:03] desktop* [02:04] can't seem to mount my usb flash drive. it doesn't show up running 'fdisk -l' but it is recognized runnign 'lsusb' [02:04] if i tail /var/log/syslog it seems to recognize it and doesn't show me any errors --> http://paste.debian.net/97157/ [02:04] james0r2: those go bad === s3ri0us is now known as s3ri0us|away [02:04] Are there any precompiled trusty builds with 3.14 kernel out there? [02:05] Axizor: http://www.yourownlinux.com/2014/04/install-upgrade-to-linux-kernel-3-14-1-in-linux.html [02:05] Axizor: there will be no official ubuntu builds, correct [02:06] james0r2: does it show up with lsblk ? [02:06] nerp: tried that, didn't work. I'll see if things are the same tomorrow after a reboot. Thanks for the help :). [02:06] Yes, I know there aren't any official [02:06] Hardcheese: np man, sorry I wasnt of more use. [02:06] And I know how to manually upgrade, which is why I asked if there are any precompiled builds out there [02:06] nerp, no not with lsblk [02:06] nerp: no, no worries. I appreciate the help very much. [02:07] Axizor: 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 gave [02:07] james0r2: Try different usb ports? If you still get nothing the stick is probably bad [02:08] Unless 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 drivers [02:08] Xserver* [02:09] Axizor: sure.. try another kernel and confirm, and file a bug [02:09] nerp, 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] !nomodeset > Axizor [02:09] Axizor, please see my private message [02:10] Will check. Ty for notifying me, on an ipad so I don't get the same alerts I would on desktop [02:10] james0r2: I think USB sticks are similar to SSDs in that if they are going to fail they usually do it pretty early [02:10] say 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? [02:11] james0r2: i just make it, or wipe it. or format.. it depends [02:11] james0r2: I would use gparted and change it to mbr then format it [02:11] james0r2: 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 testing [02:11] james0r2: all of those break. every one [02:12] +1 on what nerp suggests^ [02:12] Holstein, thank you for that information. [02:12] I will look into it [02:12] But for now, back to my house of cards binge [02:13] james0r2: reformat it. [02:13] holstein, alright i'll hold onto it and see if it's recognized by another machine. [02:13] james0r2: or, just try formatting it, right now, if you see it in gparted.. which, you may not [02:14] holsein he said it doesnt even show up in lsblk [02:14] holstein, naw i don't see it anywhere. only using lsusb [02:15] and it shows up using gnome-disk-utility. it says it's at /dev/sdb but i can't manually mount it [02:15] james0r2: use gparted specifically. [02:15] holstein, doesn't show up in gparted [02:15] holstein, that's my first go to [02:15] Holstein, 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] james0r2: and you have tried all usb ports? [02:15] Axizor: its not [02:15] holstein, yeah [02:16] Axizor: 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 days [02:16] Yes, this realization becomes clearer and clearer the deeper I dig Holstein [02:17] Axizor: if you can use nomodeset to get installed, and add a proprietary graphics driver, that might work "best" [02:17] I'll see what the geniuses at amd driver team have put together [02:18] Although I've heard bad things about the proprietary drivers with trusty [02:18] Axizor: you were likely promised windows support. so, you'll need to really put some time/effort in to provide your own support [02:18] Axizor: the proprietary driver are what they are.. they provide support for your device [02:18] These are two things I'm grateful to have Holstein [02:18] Axizor: if they are "bad" in trusty, let the creators of the code know.. and file a bug as far upstream as you can [02:19] Axizor: there is no reason to assume a newer kernel will provide out of the box support for your device with the open source included driver [02:19] Yes, I certainly will if needed [02:19] !mainline [02:19] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [02:20] Thanks, will bookmark [02:20] Axizor: there are usually easily installed mainline kernels as .deb's [02:20] newer kernel versions.. [02:20] Yes Holstein, that I've discovered [02:20] if you think 3.14 works, try it and see.. but, i would stay nimble.. and keep moving..

[05:11] by putting one in [05:11] erasing and then trying to write to it [05:11] gry: i tried fix-missing and -f [05:11] i've written images...but reboot and the disk is blank [05:11] wickedheadache they all are === brad_ is now known as sencha [05:13] has anyone experienced crashing with minitube? Seems to have a lot of issues with XUBUNTU over other distros. [05:13] i'm downloading 14 cloud now [05:15] hey 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 all [05:16] CrazyZurfer: 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 partition [05:16] CrazyZurfer: you can confirm which it is by running "sudo fdisk -l" and reading which entry is NTFS [05:17] disclaimer though, you may get data loss - so no coming after me with pitchforks if anything is missing :) [05:18] crazyzurfer to fix the windows probbably just needs a chkdsk the fs sounds corupted [05:18] CrazyZurfer: if it all fails you can try recover data with photorec [05:18] No it probably just didn't experience a safe shutdown [05:18] burning cd-r [05:18] PurpleHaze: How should I do that when I can't even boot [05:18] you guys are jumping to some serious conclusions [05:19] thats what humans do best sometimes [05:19] CrazyZurfer: you could actually give it a try from a windows vista or above liveUSB [05:19] er, lol, not liveUSB - just install medium [05:19] daftykins as he said he cant boot [05:19] i don't have any usb's big eough yet xD [05:19] crazyzurfer how far can you boot? [05:19] PurpleHaze: yeah the Windows install, not flash drives :) [05:20] daftykins ahh [05:20] heh 52x is a bit faster [05:20] do we support windows installs :) [05:21] PurpleHaze: 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 that [05:21] wickedheadache: the slower you burn a CD-RW the more likely it is to be read and be reliable [05:21] CrazyZurfer: 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/145902 [05:21] repair with chkdsk?

[05:22] anywho must sleep. nn [05:22] crazyzurfer from what your saying use a recue disk and run a chkdskk, what have you recently done? [05:22] ty dafty for helping us [05:22] !cookie | daftykins [05:22] daftykins: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:23] xD [05:23] PurpleHaze: I've done nothing so far... I don't have a recovery cd... just want to backup the data for now [05:23] crazyzurfer ok so whats the situation sorry just caught your error reports [05:24] PurpleHaze: I think I will try to mount it in read only mode [05:25] crazyzurfer That will work for recovery or testdisk if you cant read it but would be more satisfying to fix the boot problem [05:28] PurpleHaze: okay, would you help me to fix it?

Windows.... nuff said.... [05:33] crazyzurfer Most of my experience is with Linux mainly RH/CentOS but alot of Ubuntu in the last few years and Windows experience [05:34] thechive: unless someone wants a total data recovery from the whole hd from ubuntu :p [05:37] lotspsychje: since I have converted from winblows... the best thing it is good for is cleaning...

[05:51] I remeber going to download and the drop down is .DEB but results in a RPM no wonder there software is full of holes [05:51] aren't the adobe things in some of the repos too, or perhaps a ppa? [05:52] gry maybe I dont use ppas though [05:52] I only trust the main repos whatever dist Im on [05:53] i am using ubuntu 14.04.For cvblob application i was installed opencv,numpy and boost packages, as well as cvblob installation.. but if i type import cvblob sense having error..how to resolve this === pr3sonic is now known as presonic [05:54] otherwise I build the pkg myself [05:54] help me [05:54] thanks xangua and ubottu [05:56] If you love Linux raise your hand 07 [05:57] Uh..... 07 [05:57] How can I open .magnet links in 14.04? [05:57] with transmission or deluge? [05:58] hmm not many lovers [05:58] c|oneman, OK, but it's not enabled by default. [05:58] how to install cvblob [05:59] what is cvblob? [05:59] I may be pressing social issues here... but I feel the need... anyone interested try thechive.com [05:59] in windows I think it monitors your clipboard, so if you copy the magnet link, it might pop up automatically if your client is open [06:00] wine 2> /dev/null [06:00] c|oneman, Under 14.04 it asks about the programm that should be used. [06:00] That means if it dont work in wine sorry [06:00] Zooiter: when it ask you with what program to open it in the dialog window, select /usr/bin/transmission-gtk or any other client you like [06:02] xangua, Works, TU [06:02] thchive be worth putting on sedo if you have it [06:02] thchive could be a brand name for a food shop [06:03] thchive or resturant [06:03] No it's a site that is just realy cool....picts and lots of humanity efforts... and girls.... and things [06:04] thchive I was talking about the domain name [06:04] by the way , I'm not in any affiliated legally [06:05] thechive in english pls [06:06] thechive: hi. what does it have to do with Ubuntu? [06:06] so as the channels quiet what are ppls opinions on switching from upstart to sytemd? [06:07] not the reason I'm here... I originally logged in to find out if any onehad any issues with ninitube carashing [06:07] PurpleHaze: 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] minitube... my typing seems to have developed dislexia [06:08] thechive: did you fix minitube? [06:08] thechive: if not, what web browser are you using? [06:08] no [06:08] do any of you know about the switch from upstart to systemd? [06:09] I'm usiing firefox [06:09] PurpleHaze: I heard of it and I'm not sure what either of these does or what the difference is. [06:09] thechive: try asking #firefox then — that channel topic has a nice link with troubleshooting instructions. [06:09] How would i make my windows network accessible on linux if i remember correctly there is a regedit thing i need to do [06:09] gry: I installed minitube from the software center [06:10] gry thats cool the differences manly affect Linux development and compatiblity [06:10] thechive: 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] gry: I have used it in other distros, but for some reason it seems to crash a lot with XUBUNTU [06:11] Thanks for attempting gry [06:11] does 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] thechive firefox in my experience under Linux gets slow with many tabs open and if just one tab hogs ram if left open [06:12] firefox is not his problem as minitube is an app, not a website [06:12] gry: minitube doesn't give a message, it just shuts down [06:12] start it from terminal and try again [06:12] thechive I ditched it for chromium much better performance I just use firfox these days when I need noscript [06:13] I have un installed, and e installed... I have used it on other distros with not many issues. [06:14] PurpleHaze: I have 8 gigs ram... not an issue for the browser....I use noscript and other add ons... but it's not a browser issue [06:16] thechive didnt see what your issue was so no probably not browser was just commenting on comments [06:17] PurpleHaze: the issue is that the app is crashing with XUBUNTU and not woth other ubuntu based distros.... my question is why [06:18] thechive: this site says to install from source http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube/minitube-linux-setup [06:19] thechive what app probably down to gtk or minds gone blank although code with it the kde version [06:20] PurpleHaze: looks like it uses qt [06:20] qt thats the one [06:22] thechive xfce uses mainly gtk or Gnome dependencies so if the app uses gtk would explain the crashes maybe [06:22] qt* not gtk [06:22] dioioib: 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] sorry no original was what I meant [06:22] PurpleHaze: ok [06:22] thanks [06:23] thechive: so as PurpleHaze is explaining the install from source include the dependancies for qt4 and that would explain the crashing [06:23] AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! :) and no ... I'm not being a smart @$$ [06:23] lol [06:24] well 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] thank you === KnownSyntax_ is now known as KnownSyntax [06:26] I am still learning the complexities of Linux and how the different disros mesh (or not) [06:26] thechive once you see the freedom you will never look back [06:27] PurpleHaze: I have been there for 2 yers now. [06:27] yeah each of them have benifits. I use xbuntu on some old pentiums with 2gb ram (maxed) they are just mysql servers, they really don't even need a desktop to be honest [06:27] nice. [06:28] dioioib yeah I muse different distros for different tasks all the time [06:28] is aptitude is same like apt-get? [06:28] my keyboard needs cleaning* [06:29] PurpleHaze: I even tried PcBSD once. I have to say I like Ubuntu much better. It just works with most hardware out of the box which is so much nicer. [06:29] and which one is better? [06:30] thechive thats good I work in an It enterprise in a big isp and my skills have come from using Linux albeit before package mangers were conceived [06:30] I have installed Windows 7 in VMPlayer. I run it using optirun command. But the colours of the machine are coming very weird. Here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/bikd1lg. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue? Or what exactly is causing this [06:30] PurpleHaze: are you one of the slack ware gurus? [06:31] I have 9 machines that I play with at home. They range from a Toshiba laptop with a 250g processor and 128meg ram/ to my i7processor with 8gig ram. [06:32] dioiodb have used slackware but Im original red hat before they went enterprise but Im a Gentoo man these days. Im working on how ?Linux is though making my own distro on Gentoo at the moment [06:33] thechive: what's a 250g processor? [06:33] <_joey> i am looking for a list of 3G modems in nokia devices which are support on linux. [06:33] <_joey> than you [06:33] dioioib: I did take my toshiba with a 6 gig HDD that came with Win 95... 1- usb1.0.... I put tinycore on it and built a "semi graphical OS"... [06:35] cool. === root is now known as Guest44561 [06:35] aeon-ltd: a 250g processor is one I just made up to make you ask questions..... :) [06:35] I think the first distro I used was Mandriva then Debian, then finally Ubuntu [06:36] dioiodb I used mandrake after RHL7 [06:36] hello skype is not starting on my ubuntu 12.04 [06:36] dioiodb That was the birth of Mandriva and whatever the new one is now [06:37] yeah might have tried that one too [06:37] and even BeOS. [06:37] they sent me a trial disk back in the 90's [06:37] setup was so much harder back then. [06:37] dioiodb never used that one dont know why I like playing with all distros [06:38] quassel restarts on paste [06:38] skype Aborted [06:38] terminal -> skype output-> Aborted [06:39] BeOS was really multi-media. It was really nice if you used Amiga you would really like it. Or would have. I think they are remaking it and calling it Haiku OS or something [06:39] Linux shouldnt cater for noobs sorry but it should cater for whats made it so popular the hackers and that isnt the crackers that break into stuff. [06:40] ronaldsmazitis: I think you need to use skype --pipeligin [06:40] !ot | dioioib PurpleHaze [06:40] dioioib PurpleHaze: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:40] PurpleHaze: think about what you are saying.... [06:41] PurpleHaze: Linux needs to cater to newbs [06:41] ronaldsmazitis: how did you install Skype? [06:41] skype: unrecognized option '-pipeligin' Aborted [06:41] long time ago [06:41] DEB [06:41] ronaldsmazitis, This a version from skype or the ubuntu repos? [06:41] ok. one sec. I'll see what I can find. Did it ever work? [06:41] ronaldsmazitis: pipelogin, bad typo...also this looks useful http://askubuntu.com/questions/348828/start-skype-call-from-terminal [06:42] Beldar, it's from skype.com [06:42] :D [06:42] ronaldsmazitis: please install skype from ubuntu software center [06:42] PurpleHaze: There are so many people out there that don't know how powerful their machines can be... [06:42] wutt [06:42] I think I'm banned [06:43] banned from the repos? [06:43] Linux is so good and thriving because its replaced unix its an enteprise os but can handle desktop apart from the developers [06:43] :DD [06:43] whatever [06:43] how did you manage that [06:43] thechive: Please take the offtopoc discussion elsewhere. [06:43] are you sure you don't just need to select yes on the crypto key in terminal? [06:44] skype isnt found on ubuntu software center [06:44] ubuntu repos are clean on this [06:44] select repositorities [06:44] this is bullshit [06:44] support channels should support the Linux community no? There was no support questions being asked at the time [06:44] sorry but it is [06:44] ronaldsmazitis: did you try sudo apt-get install skype in terminal [06:44] !partner [06:44] ronaldsmazitis: you need to enable partner repository first, if you can't do it in the gui try this down [06:44] Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [06:45] NO candidate [06:45] I installed newest package for 12.04 from skype.com [06:45] http://askubuntu.com/questions/293693/how-to-install-skype-with-ubuntu-13-04 read the second paragraph [06:45] it will tell you the input string for the canonical repo [06:45] PurpleHaze: Please respect this channel's guidelines, if you wish to discuss why we have those guidelines please join #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-ops, as that discussion is also offtopic.

[06:54] k [06:55] Do any1 know how to resolve the brightness issue [06:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1232952 [06:55] Launchpad bug 1232952 in udev (Ubuntu) "Brightness controls do not change brightness" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:56] Rajvi: cna you explain the issue a little more is this a hardware issue? [06:56] wow. much uncertainty. many things strangely. amazing. fascinating. [06:56] without reading your code whats wrong with it? [06:56] * epipercepi raises the Spock eyebrow [06:56] I tried to follo the steps mentions, but i think I missed somewhere [06:56] PurpleHaze- i think it's ok but i commented a couple lines out i'm unsure of how to fix [06:57] and 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] and i don't know whether that IP is static or dynamic either ;l [06:57] Rajvi: did you create an xorg.conf file like they instructed in the comments? [06:57] is it normal for a cd to not even be recognized after buning? [06:57] i figure a /whois piped with two greps will verify that they are the same dude [06:57] not sure how the pipes work or what [06:58] I did [06:58] but i messed my Xserver [06:58] wickedheadache- yeah it just is a coaster now unless you didn't 'finalize' it. [06:58] it did everything [06:58] Ive never coded for irc but the fact its commented out doesent help [06:58] I creeated then x server won't server [06:58] Rajvi: yeah that can happen. Um did mesa compile properly? I always have issues compiling that [06:58] isn't a cd coded not to work in dvd's? [06:59] i m A novice [06:59] 3/logger list [06:59] Rajvi: ok. [06:59] let me try again [07:01] anyone 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. :) [07:02] whats his problem? [07:02] brightness key is not working on his laptop [07:02] I found this and that is about it. http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/180 [07:02] not me [07:03] yeah I have never had that happen before. I found a grub solution and a kernel patch and this. [07:04] Theres nothing wrong with that fix so go ahead [07:04] yeah wouldn't break the system at all. worst case it won't work. [07:05] yeah [07:05] Rajvi: try this solution: http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/180 [07:06] you are just echo'ing a setting into the config to change your brightness so pick a number between 1 and 10. [07:06] crap, i'm assumeing the iso is a copy of a dvd...being ritten to cd...then boots as cd when its a dvd iso [07:06] PurpleHaze- it's an ubuntu pastebin dude. are you unable to read normally? it may not work in braille and stuff sorry. [07:06] fracking technicalities [07:06] let me know and i'll explain in PM. /keyx if you want.

[07:37] rot3 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 okjk [07:37] epipercepi, wherever, just *not* here please [07:38] sure. 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] something like that. [07:38] heh. they're not even *in* that chan. ;p [07:39] what do you wannaq talk about? [07:41] rot3 if your a noob stick with apt-get or whatever the gui version is [07:45] root3- use synaptic it's easiest for gui on ubuntu. [07:45] i recommend it because it has a good search and view setup in gui :) [07:45] for 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. [07:46] so like every other command. my apt-get stuff reads like "sudo apt-get clean autoclean [commandHere] clean [loopUntilLastCommandHere] clean" [07:46] [] are actual apt-get commands. use any like that it'll stay clean..ish. [07:47] apt-get cleans old kernels to iirc [07:47] *removes [07:48] use "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.. [07:49] the 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 withou [07:49] t and with sudo if that worked ok in testing. then try the same order without testing. that should keep your packages and files safer.

[09:35] minimec: nope [09:38] any idea why my Huawei broadband modem will not show up on network manager? It is on lsusb. thank you. [09:38] ohh, I don't know what to do. :( I need to fix it fast but no one can help me. [09:39] EmsY: 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? [09:40] minimec: no! [09:41] minimec:The only way I can open my console is to press Alt + F2 and type in env SHELL=/bin/sh gnome-terminal [09:41] hello [09:42] Not all at once now hehehe [09:42] EmsY: then do that [09:42] EmsY: then, chsh [your user name] [09:43] and set it to /bin/sh [09:43] then delete your .bashrc [09:43] and chsh again to bash [09:43] whiskers75: sorry for being so dumb but what chsh means? [09:43] run the command `chsh [your user name]` [09:44] Any idea why my Huawei broadband modem will not show up on network manager? It is on lsusb. thank you. [09:44] probably not supported by driver [09:44] does it have drivers? [09:44] * whiskers75 looks strangely at WilliamDotAT [09:44] not unlikely [09:46] whiskers75: did it. [09:46] can you open a terminal? [09:46] no [09:46] :( [09:46] so you typed in `chsh emsy` [09:46] Any idea why my Huawei broadband modem will not show up on network manager? It is on lsusb. thank you. [09:46] or whatever your name is [09:46] then, at the prompt, put `/bin/sh`? [09:47] whiskers75: typed in 'chsh emils' then '/bin/sh/' then again 'cshs emils' and then '/bin/bash' [09:48] do the following and no more: `chsh emils` then `/bin/sh` [09:48] no extra slash [09:48] you should then be able to open a terminal [09:48] yes, I did it. Sorry, it was a mistake [09:48] I did without extra slash [09:48] EmsY: now, type in 'bash' [09:48] is there any error? [09:49] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [09:49] oh dear [09:49] what? [09:49] EmsY: try `sudo apt-get install zsh` [09:49] (we're going to use zsh instead of bash, it's simply another shell) [09:49] when I think back I wonder if I have ever been helped here that I actually managed to sort out the problem I had. On the rare occassion someone has replied and tried, and I thank them for it, but seriously... doubt I have actually been helped. Most times no reply whatsoever...and my problems are minuscule when I see what others are battling with. [09:50] EmsY: type in your password at the prompt, and then Y when prompted again [09:50] whiskers75: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [09:50] dpkg: error processing package install-info (--configure): [09:50] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [09:50] Errors were encountered while processing: [09:50] install-info [09:50] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [09:50] EmsY you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [09:50] ._. [09:51] EmsY: pastebin the entire output, starting from the apt-get command to the end [09:51] That smells like a pretty broken setup [09:51] mm hmm [09:51] EmsY: you should be unmuted now [09:51] ye [09:51] EmsY: You seem to have a borked packages system too. My first try would be 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. See if that fixes your package managment. [09:52] EmsY: What gave you that segmentation fault? (I came just a while ago) [09:52] DusXMT: trying to start bash [09:52] DusXMT: then also trying to install zsh [09:52] DusXMT: bash [09:52] EmsY: can you run `zsh`? [09:53] whiskers75: error again when tried to --configure -a [09:53] what about zsh? [09:53] EmsY: Weee. A segfault is when a program tries to access illegal memory, privilaged instructions or when it divides by zero, or when the binary is corrupt [09:53] *Ewww [09:53] DusXMT: looks like he needs to reinstall bash O.o [09:54] let's try and get zsh first [09:54] You might need to reinstall, this doesn't sound good at all [09:54] how to run zsh? [09:54] EmsY: `zsh` [09:54] DusXMT: I don't think so [09:54] sh: 4: zsh: not found [09:55] EmsY: what is the output of `file /bin/sh` and `file /bin/bash`? [09:55] DusXMT: you don't know the whole problem. I can't open any terminal. [09:55] well of course, that's because bash is segfaulting [09:55] whsikers75: how can I know? :D sorry, I'm a newbie [09:56] EmsY: run those two commands, and tell me what they print to the screen ;) [09:56] whiskers75: Did I told you that I have kernel panic when I try to reboot? [09:56] O_O [09:56] EmsY: What kind of computer are you running on? [09:56] How the hell did you get into this mess?! [09:57] So I tried rtorrent based on someone's suggestion and realized that I am too mush of a novice to use that program [09:57] EmsY: Again! Try to fix your package managment first! 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. [09:57] whiskers75: I didn't do anything. Was surfing on the internet, then my update crashed and I thought I need to update through gnome-terminal. Gnome-terminal didn't open. [09:57] minimec:/bin/sh: symbolic link to `dash' [09:57] I'm thinking of switching back to Deluge or Vuze [09:58] What is everyone else using? Just curious. [09:58] EmsY: you were updating? [09:58] cuyotte: I personally use Transmission. It's simple, and it can run as a daemon, accessed by its web interface [09:58] whiskers75: software updater asked me if I want to :D [09:59] whiskers75: /bin/bash: ERROR: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs)error reading (Invalid argument) [09:59] there's your problem [09:59] cuyotte yes, Deluge is nice too, it's what I use [09:59] Any idea why my Huawei broadband modem will not show up on network manager? It is on lsusb. thank you. [09:59] i use Deluge on windows here as well, it's a good client, no bloat [09:59] DusXMT: MLUX [09:59] EmsY: try `sudo apt-get install --reinstall coreutils bash` and pastebin the whole chunk of text that command makes [10:01] whiskers75: I'll be muted again if I'll pastebin the whole chunk [10:01] EmsY: No, you don't know what a pastebin is [10:01] EmsY: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [10:01] oh [10:01] paste it in there, then give me the link [10:01] EmsY: It's a text hosting site where you can post code, the output of commands, etc., and others can access it with a single link [10:02] whiskers75: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7385607/ [10:02] DusXMT: thanks. [10:02] I appreciate your help guys! [10:02] * whiskers75 wonders what install-info is [10:03] EmsY: sudo apt-get remove install-info, then try the above command again [10:03] We should all go back to Windows. [10:03] info might be the GNU-ish documentation invoked by the `info' command, so this might be what installs its documents [10:03] Ascavasaion: shut up [10:03] Ascavasaion: Any good reason? [10:04] Asavasaion: lmao [10:04] he's trolling [10:04] I'm laughin :D [10:04] whiskers75: Thank you :) [10:04] EmsY: anyway, I need to go now ;P [10:04] whiskers75: really? :( [10:04] DusXMT: Well, things will actually work there. [10:04] EmsY: At least someone sees my humour. [10:05] EmsY: Yes, sorry :( [10:05] i run win 8.1 here, and running ubuntu 14.04 and openbsd 5.5-current on my VPS's [10:05] whiskers75: ok :( [10:05] Ascavasaion: My Gentoo setup over here woeks 100%. I do agree Ubuntu is a bit buggier distro than most [10:05] but it is better than Windows [10:05] DusXMT: whiskers75 is going out, can you please help me? [10:05] HI: I have a ubuntu machine that I want to use on the house LAN as a file/ftp server. Is there someway to set it up so I can only access the internet for updates, and nothing else? [10:06] EmsY: Run these two commands: [10:06] `sudo apt-get remove install-info` [10:06] `sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash coreutils` [10:06] whiskers75: did [10:06] `bash` [10:06] then pastebin the output [10:06] I might not need to go [10:06] ok [10:07] whiskers75: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7385646/ [10:07] That looks horribly broken [10:08] EmsY: As I said, a reinstall is probably going to help [10:08] Something corrupted your system [10:08] whiskers75: software updater all the time asks me to upgrade but when I upgrade 'Package operation failed ' [10:08] Hi, Good morning from Spain. I just updated to 14.04 desk and I have a bug: BUG:soft lockup - CPU#1stuck for 22s! [apport-gtk:4122]. Is there anybody there who knows anything about this? thank you in advance and excuse me for my English low level. [10:08] I have no ieda how to help, sorry [10:08] g2g [10:09] whiskers75: thanks! bye :) [10:09] lucas21: ur english is not so bad :D [10:09] DusXMT: how please? [10:09] EmsY: My guess is that your system crashed and that's when the corruption occured. I would like to give you a better, less drastic solution, but I can't think of any [10:10] EmsY: Again.... 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. Did you do that? I didn't get any feedback. [10:10] DusXMT: so sad. [10:10] minimec: yes I did [10:10] minimec: It segfaults half way through [10:10] minimec: Errors were encountered while processing: [10:10] bash [10:11] dpkg: error processing package bash (--configure): [10:11] package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration [10:11] have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash [10:12] SCHAAP137: Do you really think reconfiguring is going to help it? [10:12] uhh, guys any ideas? :( [10:12] I really need to fix this somehow. [10:13] SCHAAP137: I think I've tried anything lol. [10:13] You might try to download a deb of bash, unpack it into the root of your system [10:13] EmsY: I can tell you how to do that [10:13] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: bash is broken or not fully installed [10:14] DusXMT: Ok. [10:14] Ok, so you need to download the deb first, I'll get the link [10:14] DusXMT: thanks! [10:14] What version of Ubuntu do you use? [10:14] 14.04 [10:15] Any idea why my Huawei broadband modem will not show up on network manager? It is on lsusb. thank you. [10:15] I posted my thread in askubuntu.com [10:15] EmsY: Okay, type in `sudo sh' [10:15] DusXMT: done [10:16] It will ask you for your password [10:16] now, type in `cd /' [10:16] DusXMT: nope :D [10:16] `wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bash/bash_4.3-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb' [10:17] EmsY type sudo -k;sudo true [10:17] sudo is /usr/bin/sudo [10:17] -k: not found [10:17] DusXMT: done [10:17] EmsY: `ar x bash_4.3-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb' [10:18] DusXMT: nothing happened [10:18] It's a silent command [10:18] ok [10:18] EmsY: and now `tar -xJvf data.tar.xz' [10:18] Hello When i click install on the software centre it just starts to say installing then quickly turns back to free.

[10:20] EmsY: Now type dpkg --configure -a [10:20] then apt-get install --reinstall bash [10:20] to fix some stuff, because the way we installed bash was quite crude [10:21] Help someone? [10:21] DusXMT: Errors were encountered while processing: [10:21] bash [10:21] Hello When i click install on the software centre it just starts to say installing then quickly turns back to free.

It only shows up here, when I put a SIM in. I then have to unlock it with the Sim PIN. I can then add 'New Mobile Broadband connection...' in network manager. [10:23] EmsY: Try the command again, it shouldn't give you an error anyymore [10:23] The last command seems to have fixed it [10:23] Hello When i click install on the software centre it just starts to say installing then quickly turns back to free. Can someone help? [10:23] minimec: I envy you.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [10:24] DusXMT: yes! :) [10:24] Codmadnesspro: Did you try installing your desired software from a terminal? [10:24] it isnt on there... ive looked round already :( [10:24] how do i do that [10:24] EmsY: `Now apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; apt-get install install-info' [10:24] Codmadnesspro: Start a terminal and install your software using sudo apt-get install packagename [10:25] Codmadnesspro: open a terminal, then do 'sudo apt-get update', and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' after that [10:25] EmsY: This is to put back install-info, something whiskers told you to remove [10:25] What do i type between it if its got a space in the name? [10:25] Codmadnesspro: package names never have spaced [10:25] DusXMT: I understood ye. Thanks a lot, you're GOD! :D [10:25] *spaces [10:25] Codmadnesspro: The package name does not contain spaces. The description does. [10:25] Its called XCHAT IRC [10:25] sudo apt-get install xchat [10:25] EmsY: No problem, I'm glad I could've helped :) [10:26] Can anybody please tell me the version of xfce in ubuntu desktop? Or better if you please tell me how to check the version? [10:26] firefox, chromium and midori are loading pages really slowly, despite my connection speed being normal.. help [10:26] DusXMT: I'm so happy. I hope everything will work fine now. [10:26] ok now its installed how do i open it? [10:26] psryn, there is a resetting option in firefox, try that [10:26] Codmadnesspro: type xchat [10:26] Codmadnesspro: As usual. [10:26] search it in dash [10:26] psryn, or better try to rename ~/.mozilla folder to something like .mozilla_bak [10:26] Ok thanks ur a life saver [10:26] c2tarun, I tried it, it resets for a while, but after a few minutes it goes back to slow loading [10:26] c2tarun, you can search for package info at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [10:27] xchat doesnt safe lives, it kills little kittens. :> [10:27] !info xfce4 [10:27] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment.

How did you do that? [10:28] MonkeyDust, ahaaa.. :) this is the best way thanks a lot [10:29] :D [10:29] EmsY: We just manually unpacked the .deb of bash into your system, the command I gave you afterwards sanitized your system [10:29] I can open my terminal omg!!! It feels like I'm the happiest man alive now. Thanks to DusXMT [10:29] c2tarun for more details: apt-cache show xfce4 [10:29] psryn, is firefox slow or is it just loading pages slow ? [10:29] DusXMT +1 [10:29] MonkeyDust, yeah, I am trying to read man page of apt-cache for more options :) thanks === WLM|zzzzz is now known as WolfLambert [10:29] c2tarun, firefox isn't slow, it is loading pages slowly, with some exceptions like google and facebook [10:30] but almost everything else is taking an eternity to load [10:30] I still prefer Chrome. [10:30] chromium is doing the same thing [10:30] DusXMT: That good feel when you fix something. Can't do this with windows, that's why I love ubuntu so much. [10:30] psryn, if you have any other device on same network like cellphone or a tablet, try opening same site on that device. [10:31] EmsY: You might want to do: `sudo rm -v /debian-binary /data.tar.xz /control.tar.gz /bash_4.3-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb', those are temporary files [10:31] fixing stuff on Windows is easy as well, just use regedit.exe [10:32] I agree with SCHAAP137 if its possible to fix something on windows then its easy, the problem is we cannot fix everything on windows ;) [10:32] !ops [10:32] Help!

[10:39] DusXMT: terminal works fine but when I did a reboot, I had a kernel panic. [10:39] DusXMT: I had kernel panic even before this terminal problem [10:40] All this time I was booting through other kernels recovery mode. [10:40] EmsY: Hmm. Indeed, I only addressed the terminal problem. [10:40] EmsY: can you paste the output of 'dmesg' to a pastebin ? [10:40] sure [10:40] wow, it's really long :D [10:41] yeah those are the kernel messages, the boot sequence [10:41] EmsY: Those are kernel debugging messages, there's gotta be lots of them [10:41] u can direct the output to a text file first, like: dmesg >> dmesg.txt [10:41] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7385796/ [10:42] EmsY: Does the panic occur when you try to boot in, or when the computer is going to turn off [10:43] When I try to boot in [10:43] minimec: saw that one. But those are revese proxy ones rght? used specially in webservers. [10:43] ? [10:43] robotninja: i think thts what i need. [10:43] I have image, should I show it to you? [10:43] i hope there is a gui for it [10:43] I meant picture [10:43] :D [10:44] Then maybe the kernel package is corrupt as well. Can you do an `apt-cache search linux-image'? === Codmadnesspro is now known as Zac|Codmadnesspr === Zac|Codmadnesspr is now known as PlayMCPENetwork [10:44] Xtreme: I never did load balancing on my machines, so I am not a pro. I can configure some basic 'priorities' for my home network on my router. That's enough... [10:45] minimec: :) [10:46] DusXMT: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7385819/ [10:47] EmsY: Try `sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic' , if the package is corrupt, this should fix it [10:47] where to put my own shell scripts so they are in the path of the terminal? [10:47] DusXMT: thanks. === PlayMCPENetwork is now known as ZacHack|Codmadne [10:48] red234324 create a shell script folder, then add the path to that folder to $PATH === ZacHack|Codmadne is now known as PlayMCPENetwork [10:49] PATH=$PATH:/path/to/folder ; export PATH [10:49] easiest way [10:49] $HOME/bin is usually in the path by default [10:50] so you can just `mkdir ~/bin', put your scripts there, restart the terminal and it should work [10:52] whats the difference between exim and postfix ? [10:52] EmsY: Status? [10:52] DustXMT: uhmm, new problem. :D [10:52] My resolution is REAAALLY fucked up [10:53] And I can't change it. [10:53] EmsY: Hmmm. Do you use propriotary video drivers? [10:53] thx guys, this worked - PATH=$PATH:~/bin; export PATH === mdupont_ is now known as mdupont [10:54] DusXMT: I don't know why but the driver have been changed. [10:54] yoyorls plenty user forums answer the question 'exim vs postfix' [10:55] Just changed it back to propriotary [10:55] I had this Noveau driver. [10:56] dunno why. Maybe because I was running recovery mode [10:56] EmsY: That might have been the problem. Now, seeing that two packages on your system were corrupt, there might be more of them. I can link you with an article on how to, one by one, reinstall all the packages. [10:57] It'll make sure nothing's corrupt, and it's mostly automatic [10:57] It would be nice [10:57] okay, I'll search for it, I remember seeing it once [10:57] I changed my driver but my resolution is still bad [10:57] should I reboot? [10:58] Yup [10:58] Oh well, yet again Linux is proven to be inferior. [10:58] hello im new to linux, can someone show me how to connect to my vpn on startup [10:58] Thank you to all who tried to help. [10:58] i tried the vpnautoconnect app but its not working for me [10:59] Ascavasaion: Okay, what is your question, Mr. Billy ass kisser [10:59] lol :P [10:59] some trolling never hurt [10:59] DusXMT, keep the language civil and family frienly please, thanks. [11:00] OerHeks: Okay, I'll watch my tongue next time [11:02] EmsY: Any better now? [11:02] It's fine now. The only annoying thing is report messages. [11:02] hello im new to linux, can someone show me how to connect to my vpn on startup [11:02] hey all! could i have some help with a wifi problem im having on 14.04? [11:02] 'Do you want to report'? etc [11:02] DusXMT: thanks for everything :) [11:02] EmsY: Okay. I couldn't find the article, but I can come up with the command that does what I wanted [11:03] so please be patient :) [11:03] ok [11:04] can ssomeone help me with a wifi problem im having on 14.04? [11:04] Luke-T: not if you never ask a question [11:04] Luke-T, just ask your real wuestion and find ou [11:04] *question [11:05] I'm having trouble connecting to a wifi network but i can connect to networks through ethernet, not sure what else to tell you [11:05] how can I install warcraft via wine on ubuntu 14.04 I the installed keeps crashing on load? [11:05] anyone playing any games on ubuntu? [11:06] Luke-T, maybe the friver isn't loaded, do you see other networks, or not al all? [11:06] none at all, i've tried installing the broadcom driver but nothing seems to have changed [11:06] Luke-T: we're going to need a lot more information. wireless card, what version of ubuntu, everything you can give [11:06] jjavaholic: ask in #winehq for wine help [11:06] DusXMT: I beg your pardon? [11:07] Luke-T, did you reboot after installing the driver? [11:07] yes i did [11:07] EmsY: Okay, I think I know what to do [11:07] EmsY: `sudo sh' [11:08] do not do that ^ [11:08] and im on 14.04 so far im pretty sure the card is NetXtreme BCM57765 [11:08] EmsY: `for i in $(dpkg --get-selections | cut -d '' -f 1); do apt-get install --reinstall "$i" [11:08] The `sudo sh' is so that he can type a tab in the command [11:08] "sudo -i" if you absolutely need a root shell [11:09] sudo sh is wrong and shouldn't be used or suggested in this channel [11:09] he needs /bin/sh, so that isn't an auto-complete feature [11:09] hello im new to linux, can someone show me how to connect to my vpn on startup [11:09] DusXMT: is that it? [11:09] EmsY: Just one more thing to it I forgot [11:10] what? [11:10] EmsY: `for i in $(dpkg --get-selections | cut -d '' -f 1); do apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes "$i" [11:10] Ben64: any ideas? [11:10] done [11:11] OerHeks, anything? [11:11] EmsY: What did it do? [11:11] it's a silent command isn't it? [11:11] nothing lol [11:11] EmsY: Did you copy the command over? [11:11] thats a very strange command, what is the problem that is trying to fix? [11:11] ye [11:12] Ben64: There are some corrupt packages on his system, this is to fix them [11:12] Luke-T, is this a macbook pro ? [11:12] not sure if that will fix them [11:12] but your syntax is wrong [11:12] OerHeks yes it is [11:12] Luke-T, try this solution >> sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree >> found at http://askubuntu.com/questions/331465/cant-connect-to-wireless-macbook-pro [11:12] Ben64: We already fixed bash and the kernel by reinstalling them [11:12] for i in $(dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1); do sudo apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes "$i" [11:13] OerHeks, i'll try now thanks [11:13] Ben64: So it knows to delimit by tabs by default? The man pages say it does it by ':'s [11:13] OerHeks, says "E: Unable to locate package linux-firmware-nonfree" [11:13] DusXMT: yeah, tabs are default [11:14] EmsY: Then Ben64's command does the same, but works on bash. jsut put a sudo before it in a normal terminal and it will do === anonymous is now known as Guest32867 [11:14] doesn't need a sudo at the beginning [11:14] Luke-T, odd, it is in the 14.04 repo's, try " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade " first [11:14] syntax still bad though... [11:15] Ben64: Why? [11:15] ye, doesn't need a sudo [11:15] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do' [11:15] but it doesn't do anything without sudo [11:15] there's like ' > ' and that's it [11:16] OerHeks, doing that now [11:16] EmsY: `for i in $(dpkg --get-selections |cut -f 1); do sudo apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes "$i"' [11:16] Ben64: Are there conventions for writing one-liners? [11:16] needs ;done at the end [11:16] DusXMT: the output is just '>' [11:16] oops, you're right [11:17] EmsY: now type done [11:17] yep [11:17] and it will do it's thing. THis happens when you write things via keyboard [11:17] you dos tupid mistakes [11:17] 0 upgrade, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled [11:17] it should repeat that like a hundred times, heh [11:18] EmsY: It will, one by one, reinstall all of them, making sure none are corrupt. It might take a while [11:18] $ dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1 | wc -l \n 2755 [11:18] DusXMT: I see! :D [11:18] or maybe 2755 times... [11:18] Ben64: for real? :D [11:18] if i ran it here, yes [11:18] oh my [11:19] what does that command do anyway? [11:19] OerHeks, it had 30 to upgrade so the first command might work after this is done [11:19] reinstalls every package on the system [11:19] Luke-T, sounds good, let us know [11:20] DusXMT:Ben64: What should I read to learn fix problem by myself. I'm using ubuntu since August and still can fix only some really easy things. [11:20] *problems [11:20] EmsY: It will come with time [11:20] But should I read somethin? === Syno_Nym|away is now known as Syno_Nym [11:20] How long have you been ubuntu user? [11:20] EmsY: We were all noobs when we started. The best you can doo is search the web, read the documentation of command line utilities, et [11:21] *etc. [11:21] theres not really a thing like that. i started on redhat and broke and fixed everything myself [11:21] you'll get the hang of it [11:21] EmsY: Try `man man', this will give you the documentation of the `man' utility, the manual viewer [11:21] what's man man? :D [11:21] What is the safest RSA - DSA or ECDSA for a ssh-server? thx [11:21] man will give you 's manual page [11:22] ok [11:22] man man gives you man's man page, man. [11:22] :P [11:22] so how long have you been ubuntu users guys? [11:22] Petrov, what was wrong with the last answer, RSA2048 ? [11:22] Hello everyone. I've got a problem with my freshly installed ubuntu 14.04. [11:22] EmsY: 8 years [11:22] Logout takes up to 3 minutes ! [11:22] I'm now studying for a programmer. Stupid country, we learn only Pascal. [11:22] Ubuntu was my first distro, I used it in 2009, but ever since they put that ugly bar on the screen and other things, I switched to debian. Now, I use Gentoo [11:23] So I'm still quite new myself [11:23] touil76, ewwwwwww [11:23] ok. [11:23] DusXMT, dont be so hardcore [11:24] DusXMT, what are you doing here then anyway? go #gentoo [11:24] junka: Okay, I won't insult ubuntu anymore [11:24] I posted yesterday about it. I thought it was because of an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. But I've just made a fresh install of 14.04 on the same computer and the problem keeps on appearing. [11:24] junka: I'm was just passing by, and I saw that I could help EmsY, so I did. Is something wrong witht hat [11:24] no DusXMT [11:25] touil76, it is not a general problem [11:25] What is google chromes package name? [11:25] junka: DusXMT is GOD. LD [11:25] :D [11:25] !chrome [11:25] EmsY: No I'm not, I don't think [11:25] OerHeks, that's done, should i retry the frst command again? [11:25] what do you mean junka ? [11:25] just a random linux user [11:25] ? [11:25] Luke-T, yes, and reboot after that === Syno_Nym is now known as Syno_Nym|away [11:25] DusXMT: who helps others. You've got a good karma :D [11:25] touil76, I mean that i do not face such problem [11:26] OerHeks, that's installing, thanks :) [11:26] PlayMCPENetwork, google chrome is not in our repos, download it from their site [11:26] PlayMCPENetwork, do you mean chromium or chrome? [11:26] I can't i cant download it from the software centre because it dosnt work so i have to install it by package name [11:26] I guess, it only happens on one of my computers on which ubuntu 14.04 is installed. On the other one, the problem does not appear. [11:27] hello im new to linux, can someone show me how to connect to my vpn on startup [11:27] PlayMCPENetwork, after installing the repo from google's website, it is called google-chrome-stable [11:27] \0 [11:27] yes [11:27] DusXMT: Even my brother couldn't help me. He was the guy who told me that If I'm going to be a programmer, I should install ubuntu. He's now working in Vodafone. [11:27] Google chrome is not on the repos so you will not find it. You will only find Chromium. If you want chrome you will need to go to their website and download the .deb file PlayMCPENetwork === Syno_Nym|away is now known as Syno_Nym [11:27] DusXMT: We were trying to fix that problem for 4 or 5 hours [11:28] I cant use the ubuntu software centre though [11:28] sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable on a terminal PlayMCPENetwork [11:28] Ok let me try [11:28] EmsY: Pascal programmer, Eh? [11:29] EmsY: Have you tried fpc yet, the compiler? [11:29] E: Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable [11:29] DusXMT: shit country. Teaching only Pascal. [11:29] sudo apt-get update PlayMCPENetwork [11:29] PlayMCPENetwork, so did you add the google repo package from their site? [11:30] EmsY: Let me guess, you're from Europe? Because I'm from Slovakia (in europe) and they also only teach pascal here [11:30] DusXMT: When I was going to study I thought they'll teach new languages like python. [11:30] Well i just opened the .deb and it brings me to the software centre [11:30] DusXMT: Latvia [11:30] junka, is there a channel other than this one which would be more specific to the trouble I have ? [11:30] PlayMCPENetwork, sounds good, continue [11:30] It still says :E Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable [11:30] EmsY: It doesn't matter what language you use. In fact, pascal is good for beginners, since it forces clean programming habits [11:30] :/ [11:31] <_jay> can i still download 13.10 as i dont like 14.04 <---- Buggy [11:31] touil76, no. You are using ubuntu right? You should fill a bug report [11:31] EmsY: You might find that you actually like it once you get deeper in [11:31] DusXMT: it's pretty difficult comparing to new languages [11:31] _jay, yes [11:31] <_jay> link pls [11:31] !13.10 | _jay [11:31] _jay: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes [11:31] PlayMCPENetwork, is there a particular reason you want Chrome rather than Chromium? the differences are pretty minimal (minor branding and some user tracking stuff) [11:31] Whats the package name for chromeion instead then? [11:31] PlayMCPENetwork, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [11:32] DusXMT: the syntax is so weird, I hate that language :D [11:32] <_jay> also can you remove the unity bar [11:32] EmsY: Every language is hard when you're just introduced to it [11:32] Next year we'll learn Delphi. [11:32] <_jay> or move it [11:32] Ok thanks its installing [11:32] Ok junka, but with which package being faulty ? [11:32] EmsY: I like pascal syntax. begin end. [11:32] begin end lol :D:D [11:32] EmsY, ewww [11:32] Pessimist: what? [11:32] _jay, you can make it autohide or change its size [11:33] <_jay> you cant move it around like in xfce [11:33] no _jay [11:33] Chromium wont open :/ [11:33] DusXMT: I'm trying to learn some languages by myself. I'm studying in codeacademy.com. I know HTML/CSS and PHP. A little bit of ruby. [11:34] Pessimist: Eww about Delphi? :D [11:34] touil76, i dont know. Maybe someone more experienced can help you with that [11:34] Whats the package name for flash? [11:35] !info pepperflash [11:35] Package pepperflash does not exist in trusty [11:35] PlayMCPENetwork: Flash is not in the default repos. Got to get.adobe.com/flashplayer to get it [11:35] it is DusXMT [11:35] !info adobe-flashplugin [11:35] Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in trusty [11:35] As i said i can't install applications on the software centre [11:35] ah [11:35] wrong, DusXMT > PlayMCPENetwork flashplugin-installer [11:35] okay, I won't do you guys any more trouble [11:35] PlayMCPENetwork, type flash in the software center search [11:36] Munster i cant install anything on software center [11:36] PlayMCPENetwork, maybe you should go with synaptic [11:36] E: Unable to lock the administarton directory [11:36] PlayMCPENetwork, if you use softwarecenter, CLOSE terminal [11:37] one instance to apt only [11:37] I can't use software centre :P [11:37] I can't install anything on it for some reason [11:37] PlayMCPENetwork, ok , but it'will give you the correct package name, you can use apt-get to install [11:37] Hello. I have a bunch of ".pic" files, but Ubuntu tells me that there isn't an app to open these. What app can I use to open them? [11:37] Wait whats the command to login as root? [11:38] su or sudo -i [11:38] sudo gives you admin privilages [11:38] Mrokii, .pic seems to be an old Lotus 1-2-3 image format. I can't say I've ever tried it, but GIMP may be able to open them. [11:38] i mean how do i change vnc@vm79190 to root@ [11:38] PlayMCPENetwork, in the terminal, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [11:38] my sudo stuff is messed up :P [11:39] cant use sudo :P [11:39] PlayMCPENetwork, then you're sunk [11:39] i dont think it's good idea to login as admin [11:39] PlayMCPENetwork then use su and then that commandnd [11:39] Nah i just did su - root [11:39] robotninja: I don't think it's from Lotus. They are scanned images from a Mac, afaik. But Gimp tells me it can't open them. [11:39] :P [11:39] PlayMCPENetwork, please skip the smileys [11:40] PlayMCPENetwork, so you are remote into an other machine, without sudo rights? [11:40] Its a vps but i kinda messed up the sudo command :P [11:41] So i just have to login as root [11:41] Hello guys, hope you're well. How to set environnement variable please ? [11:41] Don't worry it worked thanks === Ultimatef is now known as UltimateNate [11:42] Environnement variable can be set in httpd.conf ? [11:44] Mrokii, to be honest I'm pretty stumped but from a little googling, XnViewMP might be able to read it: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xnviewmp/ [11:44] How to create application groups in Gnome shell 3.12 ? [11:45] I have already done that in Shell 3.10 using Dconf Editor, which seems not working anymore! [11:46] robotninja: I'll take a look, thanks! [11:46] Mrokii, the software centre link seems to be broken from what I'm reading but there's a downloadable DEB file at http://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads. Good luck! [11:47] OerHeks, its working, thank you so much, although it does seem to be really slow, but that is probably just my bad internet (damn Australia :P) [11:50] +i [11:51] robotninja: Cool! It worked! Thanks! I had high hopes when I read that xnviewmp opens more than 500 formats. :-) [11:52] Anyone knows how to create "App folders" in Gnome Shell 3.12 ? [11:52] Mrokii, Glad you got it sorted, happy to help :) [11:55] Anyone knows how to create "App folders" in Gnome Shell 3.12 ? [11:55] Aww ! No one using GNOME :'( [11:55] !info xnviewmp [11:55] Package xnviewmp does not exist in trusty [12:01] hey 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) [12:02] also, 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 folder [12:03] Capprentice: 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] new0: good question about screens but i dunno (try #xubuntu / #xfce); i personally back up entire partitions to an external drive but it's your call [12:06] gry, 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] new0 rsync is fast for backups, but make sure you have the backup on some external device [12:07] !backup > new0 [12:07] new0, please see my private message [12:08] gry, the thing is that my system was crashing and i have to create new user account (display graphic problem) and ni the start i didn't have the permission to enter all my older user (now i can somehow, but it's happen after rebooting. had to do it harsh [with the button on power on]) [12:08] MonkeyDust, tnx === warhammer_ is now known as Guest68058 === tcpman is now known as Guest28847 [12:10] new0: i'd store in /var okay, just don't forget to protect it against being read by other users [12:10] new0: however not storing in /home is unusual, i find it a bit hard to explain [12:11] gry, far enough [12:12] i have an user who has been doing this for years, he explains by a need to have all users on one computer without them having accounts on it === WolfLambert is now known as WLM|druk [12:26] is there a way to fix libquazip0/libquazip0-dev's seg fault? If I compile quazip(1.x) from the official site, it works, but the version in the repositories simply segfaults as soon as it finds the first QuaZip function. === xubuntu is now known as Guest73692 [12:27] hi all i use new xubuntu 14.04 but how do i cnage the mac address at every startup? [12:30] is there a way to open xchat in 2 pc and connect to the same user? so all my message here will be displayed in 2 locations? [12:31] no, but you can do this in quassel [12:31] Guest73692, you can set a fake mac address by editing your desired connection through networkmanager [12:31] new0: 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) [12:32] junka: is there anywhere a tutorial? [12:32] new0: and quassel-client-qt4 I believe [12:32] Hello. Is there a better way to manage ~/.ssh/authorized_keys than manually editing it? Mine has grown pretty big and is a nightmare to manage [12:34] right click on the applet, edit connections, edit the connection you want to spoof, set your fake MAC address on the cloned mac address field on wifi tab Guest73692 [12:35] gry [12:35] . [12:36] gry, sorry :) is it IRC instead of xchat u mean? [12:36] gry, also quassel-project.org not work [12:36] junka: thanks [12:36] quassel-irc.org [12:37] gry righttnx [12:40] new0: also to correct gry: yes, this is possible, if you have a bouncer in between [12:40] then you can connect with whatever client you want (including xchat) as many times as you want [12:41] anyone uses cairo-dock? [12:41] how do i force it to use opengl? [12:41] Fuchs, sound interesting.. what is bouncer? and how to install it? [12:41] new0: a program which sits between your IRC client and a server, playing client for the server and playing server for the client [12:41] new0: znc is an example, a good one, even [12:42] Fuchs, sure.. how to? [12:42] install: 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 znc [12:42] http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC << there. [12:43] root3: hello [12:43] Fuchs, so i do got to install this quassel.. thing? [12:43] new0: only if you want to. I'd recommend not, if you are happy with xchat [12:43] qweasdzxc: who are you? [12:43] new0: 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 znc [12:43] root3: you helped me earlier [12:43] you can then connect from as many clients as you like, and all of them will be the same nick/user on freenode [12:45] Fuchs, 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] new0: you can also run znc on your computer if you want to [12:45] Fuchs, *run the clients on that one [12:45] Fuchs, ok. first step is to install quassel? [12:45] new0: 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 24/7 [12:46] new0: no, you don't need quassel. Unless you want to use quassel. Which you might not want to [12:46] Fuchs, not need 24/7. just for the time been [12:46] new0: 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 core [12:46] new0: 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 client [12:47] so if you like xchat and want to keep using it, I'd recommend using znc instead of quassel core [12:47] Fuchs, with quassel i have to be only with quassel not xchat. right? and znc any clients? [12:47] the 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] new0: correct. [12:48] i`m hhere [12:48] Fuchs, right :) tnx so much. i will (try) to use znc [12:48] or 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] Do I install GRUB to /sda or /sda1? [12:48] You're welcome. [12:48] thnxxx \ [12:48] basichash: 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 on [12:49] (e.g. sda1, if that contains /boot) [12:49] Fuchs, r u here for the next 20m or so. if i need some guideness on that? [12:49] basichash;~ any other os on the machine? [12:49] new0: I am afraid I'm not, no. I need to go to town before the post office closes [12:50] new0: there is the #znc channel on this network though [12:50] nope, just reformatted my ntfs partitions to an ext4 partition, and the installer is asking me to install GRUB to either /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 [12:50] Fuchs, oh, well good luck and tnx :) [12:50] new0: 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 questions [12:50] ZOMG [12:50] ZOMBIES [12:50] basichash;~ then go for /dev/sda [12:50] cheers [12:51] Fuchs, right. tnx again ;) === root3 is now known as abhinavmehta [13:00] . [13:00] NetworkManager won't connect my cable network ("last connection: never") although eth2 shows as "up" and having an IPv4 addr in ifconfig. what did i miss? [13:01] running ubuntu precise [13:02] i am sure a lot of u know how to work with ssh. now how can i display a program with ssh on the ssh? [13:02] i would like to see xchat on the ssh window [13:03] hello, what would you suggest for a remote home directory on a server that could be used for a laptop when its remote? [13:03] is there any easy way to make the function keys (brightness up, down, keyboard backlight etc) work in openbox on ubuntu? in unity they work fine. [13:03] new0: use ssh -X. mind that when ssh session closes then it will also not run xchat at the server anymore. [13:03] new0, 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. [13:04] Sven_vB, "connect to the irc server via ssh"? are you crazy? [13:04] gry_, i'm using that approach to send this message. [13:04] gry_, not sure what u mean about the server [13:05] Sven_vB: sorry, I don't know how to connect to an irc server via ssh ... [13:05] Sven_vB, may u expalin? [13:05] new0: the box sshd is on [13:05] new0: quassel is a much much easier way to do all this without wasting time ;) [13:06] gry_, alright. got ya. i will just continue with ZNC sound better as i know xchat [13:06] ameh [13:07] is there any easy way to make the function keys (brightness up, down, keyboard backlight etc) work in openbox on ubuntu? in unity they work fine.

[15:39] i dont want to multi-boot, i think my laptop cant dont that. that so over [15:39] wat [15:39] lawnewbie: and is neither based on ubuntu...and yet you claim to be a 'newbie' and want to install a penetration testing software, what exactly is what you want? [15:40] prodigal: you mean, a package in the default repository? or a PPA? [15:40] default repository ... there is no working ppa for trusty that I can find. [15:40] prodigal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2134287 [15:41] prodigal: i would probably just file a bug, and try and see who is maintaining the packages.. or in this case, potentially not maintaining.. and offer to help [15:41] xangua, hmm, i just want to be careful, maybe next time i want to change my OS. so i want to save the backup of my OS (Ubuntu) [15:42] lawnewbie: you can clone easily with clonezilla... and have operating system image backups === waako|away is now known as waako [15:42] holstein, thanks for your suggestion :)) [15:43] lawnewbie: Yes, your laptop can multi-boot just fine. [15:43] lawnewbie: You can use the clonezilla disk to make an image backup of your Ubuntu installation, then install kali if you want to do it that way. [15:43] jhutchins, i think my laptop is so over if i do multi-boot [15:44] jhutchins, oke i'll do ur suggestion [15:44] lawnewbie: you can also make a separate parititon for /home so you can keep your settings easily and even install and try direfent distributions [15:44] jhutchins: thx for the info on version 1.36 ... will look into it. Previous versions had the option in server setup, but the "139.2" version from the repository does not have the option. [15:44] lawnewbie: No, multiboot is not a problem. I've had up to five different installations on a 166MHz P3. [15:45] holstein: will do that. thx [15:45] xangua, its so complicated to my as newbie >.< [15:45] jhutchins, so u have 5 different OS on your laptop?

[15:46] lawnewbie: Pentium III, 166 MHz. Very old hardware.

[16:03] Trying to load my system in recovery mode [16:03] For some reason it gets stuck after loading sendmail [16:03] jhutchins, I mean what about it ? [16:03] innocent95: When it comes to certification, RedHat is probably the most marketable. [16:04] innocent95: That or solaris. [16:04] it's interesting that the debian-based stuff isn't that marketable I guess [16:04] But they are all having the same topics i guess [16:04] I mean, I don't know why even [16:05] holstein, haha dumb me, should have searched from askubuntu first [16:05] including Comptia Linux + [16:05] * amireldor am I "nuts"? [16:05] jhutchins, Solaris, Unix ? [16:05] gry: The main reason is that if someone is relying on certification to hire, they're more likely to know/use RedHat. [16:06] ok thx got my answer u guys are awesome [16:06] innocent95: Sun Solaris is a version of Unix. [16:06] Okay [16:07] jhutchins: 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?) [16:08] 18*12 page to be printed [16:11] Hey guys, can it be that a bios update destroys the possibility to install/boot from GRUB? [16:11] veryhappy: Not likely. [16:12] ok [16:13] veryhappy, what do you mean by install from GRUB? [16:13] i 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 that [16:14] veryhappy: 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.. [16:15] well in the bios there's not any option like it [16:16] veryhappy: then, maybe the bios is not blocking anything.. [16:16] veryhappy, what's the make and model bro?

[17:34] lawnewbie: adobe doesnt provide you a version https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [17:34] mlch try instsll in uefi mode [17:34] Because you need it for the installation [17:34] Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.98'}): org.debian.apt.install-file [17:35] I have tried creating a live usb, but my laptop will not boot to it? [17:35] disale secure boot in bios [17:35] You have to press a key to change the boot order [17:35] On my HP Windows 7 laptop, it was F9. [17:35] i cannot access BIOS because of a password, and the escape key on my laptop is broken [17:36] MItchell: you will need to address that issue.. can you boot cd? [17:36] MItchell: is there a boot order key? [17:36] holstein: i just can open 360 in youtube :( [17:36] i dont know of a boot order key, how do i find that out [17:36] MItchell: try F12 [17:36] Well er... [17:37] On my HP Windows 7 laptop the boot order key was F9 [17:37] MItchell: just asking, sometimes there is a key to access the BIOS settings then another key that prompts for the boot device, this may be a setting in your BIOS settings though, which you say is passworded, which is a bit of a roadblock [17:37] when i press f12 it takes me to the bios screen but requires a password that i have no chance of getting. (Second hand laptop) [17:37] Aaaaargh stupid shortcut keys [17:37] lawnewbie: as the link i provide states, the latest flash for linux is available to chrome only. and can me used with chrome or chromium [17:37] What model do you have? [17:37] WLM|druk: you only need to input your cd into cd rom, then restart ur laptop [17:38] holstein: ohh i see , thanks :)) [17:38] is there any way of installing ubuntu over my windows install via an exe file or something? [17:38] MItchell: no, because an OS can't run in another OS (unless you use a virtualbox) [17:38] MItchell: sure.. but the question is, is there any way for you to boot installation media? via CD? [17:38] MItchell: try F9, also, what model is your laptop? [17:39] Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.98'}): org.debian.apt.install-file [17:39] MItchell, just run livecd and click install [17:39] What mmazing2 said === __ron is now known as ylambda [17:39] MItchell: you can plug a USB ps2 keyboard in and try escape.. otherwise, the bios is what is blocking you, not ubuntu [17:39] what is live cd? [17:39] MItchell, cd with ubuntu [17:39] That's the thing you burn with the iso file [17:39] MItchell : what is the make/model of the laptop [17:39] i dHp 6730b [17:39] i you boot cd with ubuntu it will run [17:39] if* [17:40] so i need to burn the iso to a blank cd and that will work? [17:40] kibibyte: he cannot get it to boot into live cd is the problem [17:40] why not [17:40] kibibyte: that's what we're trying to figure out :P [17:40] kibibyte, read back, password on bios [17:41] MItchell: DuckDuckGo says the boot order key is F9 on that computer [17:41] when i installed ubuntu on my laptop, i only do input the CD into cd rom, then i restart my laptop [17:41] So just restart, immediately press F9, and boot from the disc or USB stick [17:41] then my laptop do auto bootin [17:41] so press f9 instead of f12 during boot? [17:41] Yes [17:41] Hi everyone! [17:41] hi, i have a problem with a lvm snapshot. i removed it with lvremove and i have now some lvm devices under /dev/mapper/ with name *cow* and *real*. whats the best way to remove this devices? [17:42] hi anshulk [17:42] ok will try this, but my bios have a password that stops me from accessing any of the bios menus [17:42] I installed Ubuntu the day before yesterday using a live USB, and I pressed F9, chose my stick, and started. [17:42] I installed MATE sometime back. [17:42] good luck MItchell :) [17:42] Mitchell: was that already on it when you bought your computer? [17:42] It installed caja and other programs which are now conflicting with the default ones [17:42] yes, [17:42] MItchell: you can reset the bios password by removing the power connector, removing the battery, removing the hard drive, and then removing the flat "watch" battery underneath the hard drive, wait 6 minutes and then it should be reset [17:43] mmazing2, no need to wait, just pressing the power button will do [17:43] ^^ what mmazing2 says sounds a bit too complicated to be wrong [17:43] Hi lawnewbie , mind helping ? [17:43] Mitchell pressed his power button apparently :< [17:44] sounds good yes [17:44] what anshulk? [17:44] Like I can't change my background except changing values in gsettings. [17:45] and when I insert a pen drive, many windows open [17:45] I guess some belong to nautilus and some to caja [17:45] How can I disable caja ? [17:45] anshulk: that could be the auto program opening when you insert a drive [17:45] anshulk, you cant change your background ? [17:45] hey room..looking for ubuntu touch support whats the name of the chan? [17:46] lawnewbie, I can but only by changing mate.desktop.* value thorugh gsettings [17:46] urgent please help!!!

[17:56] Question please:: I just downloaded ubuntu 14.04 , I want to install it on my ssd external hard drive. I then plug it into my mbp and I use it via boot selection..

[17:58] ok thank you, sorry but what is dd? [17:58] Lemon3: If you want to install it to the external ssd, then don't you really want to put the iso on a different device? so then when you boot off that device you can install it to the external ssd? [17:59] lawnewbie: "better" is a matter of opinion and use case.. html5 has "better" linux support, potentially [17:59] !info dd | Lemon3 [17:59] Lemon3: Package dd does not exist in trusty [17:59] Ok. here's what I hope to do. I am on my mbp. I have a external ssd drive. I use a program that converts the iso to the ssd drive. then I restart my mac and boot into ubuntu ... I then install from there.

[18:08] Obi1: you'll probably won't have to reset reboot you computer though [18:08] the firefox actualy was not crashed [18:08] And sometimes the whole system crashes after the crash of a heavy program [18:08] i did not had no menu button and tree buttons for the windowd [18:09] re [18:09] I use ubuntu whit LXDE desktop enviroment [18:10] Damn, Ubuntu is really starting to look good.

[18:11] cpined ask here for another solution, first give details [18:11] Can I install ubuntu in a system with secureboot? [18:12] kroson: i think the better question would be, will secure boot allow me to install ubuntu?.. i think that information may be at..

For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [18:13] kroson only on 64 bit cpu systems [18:14] cpined: maybe check in /var/log/apt if there were any errors during the update [18:14] holstein: what's the problem with secureboot?

Whats the easiest way for me to be able to resolve "server1" as 123.123.123.123?. Currently its resolving via 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 even after I place entries in /etc/hosts so I'm not sure but do I need to configure bind [18:22] server and just run my own DNS?

[18:26] sport_bill: yes [18:26] I regret that now. [18:26] ok [18:26] cpined: Can you ping your gateway? [18:26] I just got this thing last night, and started it up today.

[18:36] Hey! I can't move windows between workspaces in the Expo view since installing 14.04. suggestions on how I can solve this?

Currently its resolving via 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 even after I place entries in /etc/hosts so I'm not sure but do I need to configure bind [18:38] server and just run my own DNS? [18:38] cpined: im not following... but, you should always have updates in place, and ways to recover before doing any large system upgrades like that.. anytime [18:38] ok then go to the directory and type in ./minerd [18:39] see if that runs it for you. If not you might need higher level privileges. [18:39] Boom [18:39] SpecialEd: assuming your /etc/hosts entries are syntactically valid, you probably need to look into man host.conf [18:39] thank you. i didnt have the ./ [18:39] holstein, is there a way to recover from this large system upgrade? [18:40] cpined: depends.. ideally, you would make an image, or the manufacturer would provide you with one [18:40] ls -al [18:40] rww: Roger that, I will RTFM right now :D [18:40] RubixRex: great. Enjoy your mining. :) [18:40] cpined: otherwise, if you get it out of the box, consider useing it "as-is" unless you really konw what you are doing [18:40] ok, thanks guys. [18:41] cpined: i suggest getting the 14.04 live CD, and testing, and fresh install from there [18:41] cpined: cd = iso, on usb or whatever [18:41] holstein, since this is a netbook, no CD/DVD...so bootable usb device?

[21:10] SupaYoshi, also add nobootwait [21:11] that one is the important [21:11] ah [21:11] yeah [21:11] innocent95: i have installed ubuntu and i tried to update it with sudo apt-get update and it's keep on updating since 3 hours...??? [21:11] what should i do? [21:12] aruz, Upgrading or updating ? [21:12] ./dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2g vfat nofail,nobootwait,user 0 0 [21:12] innocent95: apt-get update [21:13] innocent95: number has gone to Get 4488 http:// ..... something [21:13] apt-get update is used to update repositories [21:13] okay hey [21:14] sport_bill, lets say i boot without the drive [21:14] and plug it in later [21:14] aruz, it's going to install new versions of your softwares [21:14] Anyone having issues on 14.04 where your mouse clicks and window focus randomly stops working? [21:14] will i be able to use it [21:14] without doin anything? :) [21:14] innocent95: that means i have to wait forever [21:14] innocent95: when i had linux mint it doesn't have that kind of problem it installed in 10 minutes [21:15] SupaYoshi, you should [21:15] aruz, No, till your end package [21:15] aarobc: Yes. In my case my wireless mouse was with the pills uncharged... [21:15] SupaYoshi, do a reboot with the drive unplugged to test it [21:15] and other part it is installed same file over n over again [21:16] done it, works :) [21:16] nice :) [21:16] awesome man :) [21:16] Kalel: restarting Xorg makes everything work again though, so I know it's not my mouse [21:16] aarobc: You should check the compiz settings tho.. [21:16] aruz, sudo apt-get autoremove [21:17] aruz, sudo apt-get clean and apt-get purge [21:17] that brings up an interesting point, I have no idea what to do if an installation is interrupted [21:18] innocent95: what is function of these command sudo apt-get clean and apt-get purge? [21:18] This command removes .deb files for packages that are no longer installed on your system. Depending on your installation habits, removing these files from /var/cache/apt/archives may regain a significant amount of diskspace. [21:20] aruz, No purge [21:20] can i move the dock to the bottom instead? [21:20] I have a directory tree from the webapps directory of a windows tomcat7 install, where do I put the directory in ubuntu? [21:20] innocent95: so what if the function of these command? [21:21] This command completely removes a package and the associated configuration files. Configuration files residing in ~ are not usually affected by this command [21:21] it takes a package name as an argument [21:22] hello! i need to install ia32-libs package [21:22] unfortunately it is not in trusty [21:22] but it was in raring [21:23] aruz, if it is in the process of updating the repositories you can safely break with ctrl-c [21:23] Guys, what means 'convo'? [21:23] but even after i add raring to my sources and run apt-get update, i still cannot install ia32-libs === [Harlock-Ng] is now known as Guest44298 [21:23] aruz, Get:# ? [21:23] aruz, then you can try another mirror perhaps [21:23] seems that raring lists are not actually downloaded at all [21:24] aruz, Perhaps your mirror is slow [21:24] I remounted my filesystem as rw [21:24] But the recovery menu still thinks that it's read-only [21:25] Guys, what means 'convo'? [21:26] Kalel: conversation? [21:26] !convo [21:26] <_Trullo> Error! Missing an input. [21:26] :) [21:26] hahah.. [21:26] i have followed the instructions found here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/361734/hibernation-is-still-missing-from-menu-in-13-10-after-enabling-via-polkit-how-t/362499#362499 but i still do not see hibernate in the menu [21:27] innocent95: Nothing to do with here.. Was an 'English' misunderstood.... [21:27] i did at one point, but then it disappeared and the file was gone, after an update. but now after putting the file back, it will not work [21:27] viper474: OK... Thaks. [21:27] Yes [21:28] probably not the right hcannel, but: is there a way I can get htop to use a different color scheme in a VT than in Konsole? Thanks [21:29] What is the update manage in ubuntu 12.04? [21:29] is the Ubuntu panel not movable? [21:29] the app dock [21:30] pietro10, see man htop > F2, S Go to the setup screen, where you can configure the meters <...> various display options, choose among color schemes, etc [21:31] OerHeks: yes I see that; I wanted to know if I could have a spearate setting for VTs and xterms [21:32] I already did this in konsole (which uses a dark on light color scheme) [21:34] Oh I am krytarik [21:34] pietro10, i don't know that, sorry [21:35] ok, tahnks [21:35] how can i install ia32-libs? [21:36] i need it badly [21:36] yet apt-get fails to install it [21:37] Kurvivor, no need to, just install the :i386 [21:45] hello === debian is now known as Guest8604 [21:48] Oer Heks: ok [21:49] Deine Bruder ist tot. [21:50] Oer Heks: does not work [21:51] Oer Heks: i need the package because this page tells me so: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mozart#Graphics_Engine_.28tk.exe.29_crashed_or_could_not_be_started [21:51] it tells me to check if 3 packages are installed, and none of them are [21:51] moreover, they are not in my current sources at all [21:51] after update, that is [21:53] Told you ;-) [21:56] hey, why can't i talk with this (#mysql) channel? === struct{} is now known as Teufel [21:57] !register | new0 [21:57] new0: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[22:14] Deihmos: Does your machine have the horse power to run the top-of-the-line ubuntu ? No ? Might try a lighter edition - Lubuntu. [22:15] i7 12GB ram nvidia 750m [22:15] it just does not feel as snappy as windows [22:15] mm that should run ubuntu [22:16] ^ [22:16] Did you get graphics drivers installed? [22:16] Deihmos, maybe you need lubuntu [22:16] yes drivers installed [22:16] try using the non open graphcs drivers [22:16] If your graphics card has drivers for linux [22:16] Deihmos: Whoa ! That should do !// Question then is whee are the resources being utilized ? .. what does 'top' relate ? [22:16] I think nvidia had some linux drivers - that said i have 0 ubuntu installs with a desktop lolz [22:16] Deihmos, oh and 750 needs 334.21 just so you know.

I've never had this much problems and errors in maybe 6-7 years of several linux distributions. . Can someone help with solving this graphical glitch that appear on my second monitor: http://i.imgur.com/WjrpiBG.png I've tried changing graphic driver, tried the monitor on other distro's, and I've even reinstalled 14.04 on a newly formated drive. What is wrong, I don't ... [22:30] warings only so no need to worry? [22:30] ... understand. The 14.04 final beta worked flawless! [22:31] is it possible to know from which mirror a package was installed? [22:32] randomnick_: Nope, need to deal with the duplications, check files /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory and find and remove the duplication(s). === popey_ is now known as popey [22:36] randomnick_: If ya need/want help, pastebin -> cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list , cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list <- will see what I can see. [22:37] okay, now warnings now [22:38] randomnick_: just to 'cat' a file should have no warnings ! What is going on ?

[22:39] http://pastie.org/9137773 [22:40] there are no more duplications i think? [22:42] randomnick_: Looked at /etc/apt/sources.list , no duplication yet. looking at '73 . [22:42] i unchecked some [22:44] http://pastie.org/9137786 apt update [22:44] looks okay now i guess?

[22:50] randomnick_: see my last, though you are now updating clean, still need to get rid of that obsolete source line.

Take a look at " http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ " for ubuntu's.

[23:33] we have a problem with unity as far as I can tell because it remember previous users as a result a certain machine try to mount all of the previous user home directory [23:33] and our NFS server goes to 100% CPU usage [23:34] hey guys I have a question about live cds [23:34] any ubuntu dev here? [23:36] randomnick_: Maybe, maybe not, Won't know till we try. Hope we can 'upgrade' when that repo is removed.

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [23:40] Kreuger: Can you not boot to the 'recovery console' , remopunt read/write and create that other user then ? [23:41] s/remopun/remount * [23:41] Bashing-om, I was thinking about that after reading the livecd page on the Ubuntu wiki. Just wasnt sure how exactly to do it [23:41] basically unity try to remember all of the previous users loggin on the system as a result multiple conccurent connection established to NFS server [23:42] all of our users their home directory is mounted in an NFS [23:43] Kreuger: Boot the 'recovery console'from the grub boot menu -> 'root" terminal command "mount -o remount,rw /" -> resume normal boot. Do your thing. [23:44] leejohn: Rather than saying abstract things like "unity try to remember..." please give concrete error messages and steps to reproduce. Tell us what you're actually seeing. [23:45] I'm trying to compile pcsx-df emulator, the configure script wants libnautilus-burn, Ive found http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libnautilus-burn-dev buts its not available in the current repo [23:46] Jordan_U: in Ubuntu 12.04 there’s a fast user switching feature right? it remember all previous user loggin in the system [23:46] Jordan_U: it can be found on top of the screen when you click the user [23:46] how do i proceed [23:46] or what happened to the package? [23:47] Jordan_U: this is fine if the home directory of the users reside in the local machine but not in the NFS server [23:50] leejohn: So you think that every time one user logs in all the other user's home directories are mounted as well? What evidence do you have that that is happening? [23:50] Jordan_U: yes that what is happening [23:51] leejohn: What evidence tells you that is happening? [23:51] Does anyone know why clearing the data on 2 software RAID 1 Hard Drives is extremely slow during the Ubuntu server installation? [23:51] It's literally 1% per hour [23:52] Jordan_U: i’m not currently in the office right now so I don’t have any hard evidence. but I’ll try to reduce the automount timeout to 10 seconds instead of 60 to minimize the problem [23:53] Jordan_U: basically this is jus a workaround but not the proper solution. === mtrd is now known as EugeneBandit
