No result when I do the tests. [00:45] does your sound card work beyound win.. [00:45] [[thufir]]: hows your monitor connected? [00:45] does it have speakers? [00:46] <[[thufir]]> the speakers plug into the back with a jack. They are powered and vol up. it worked on 13.x, but with the same physical setup, now clean install -- nothing. no speakers on monitor. [00:48] is the monitor connected via hdmi? [00:48] <[[thufir]]> I dunno, I fiddled all yesterday, now, seconds after asking here, it works. thanks for fixing it ;) [00:48] maybe it asumes that it supports sound via hdmi [00:48] :() [00:48] <[[thufir]]> lol. the rule of asking. fix just by asking.

[01:00] while i leave windows since xp for ever, i never regret my choice [01:00] mm_: how is it messed up? [01:00] it should work just well [01:00] mm_, openoffice or libreoffice [01:00] libreoffice [01:01] text is messed up alitte. [01:01] openoffice or libreoffice are better than microsoft office [01:01] libreoffice is not. [01:01] no their not [01:01] Ican not find opnooffice tho [01:01] less trouble with older files [01:01] Hello, is there a way to change Compiz window borders to anything other than Ambiance and Radiance without having to disable Unity? I wish to use the Orchis theme from the Moka project. I can change the window borders to this in ccsm by enabling "Window Decorations", but it says it conflicts with the Unity plugin and if I go through with it, it disables the launcher dock and the top menu bar entirely. [01:01] they fail to provide an alternative to access [01:01] base is realy not ready for anything [01:02] ubuntu has open office by default [01:02] mm_, libreoffice [01:02] kostkon: libreoffice isopen office [01:02] ? [01:02] mm_, it's a fork of openoffice [01:03] not opening my files in decent way. unfortunately [01:03] bfmersion [01:03] generaly it shouldnt have much problems with doc format [01:03] ominomi: should be able to change it with unity-tweak-tool [01:03] mm_: What is wrong with libreoffice? [01:04] it may not support some stuff from the newer xml baes docx format === larry is now known as Guest89687 [01:04] though [01:04] its .doc [01:04] Microsoft Word Document [01:04] mm_: Define "decent way". [01:04] but then again its like 0eur vs 300 eur or whatever the prof version of office is [01:04] trism: I'll try that now. Thanks. [01:04] Some text format is not correct. [01:04] so it still good for a completely free product [01:05] some text below where it should be [01:05] mm_: Oh, fonts are different? [01:05] !fonts | mm_ [01:05] mm_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [01:05] and some text below the line [01:05] mm_: below what line? [01:05] mm_: Lines in a table? [01:06] if you want stuff to look the same have a look at pdf/a standard [01:06] kind of [01:06] mm_: You probably just need some fonts. [01:06] so? [01:07] I have a monitor. When 12.04 boots it I can see the bios and post screen. I am loosing the monitor once it gets to ubuntu [01:07] I can see it in the displays section of systems tools [01:07] ergh system settings [01:08] any suggestions? [01:09] sporkius: enable it there? [01:09] what do you mean mgolish [01:10] like when your in syszem settings - displaydevices or whatever its named in english enable that display [01:10] and it should display something [01:10] I have done that. IT still isnt showing anything [01:10] whats your graphics driver/card? [01:13] hi guys need little help with samba and automouting ntfs hard drive to have read/write access for all samba users [01:13] Has anyone had any luck with working with plex on a linux machine? [01:13] sorry got disconnected [01:14] I am not sure how to tell what driver I am using [01:14] cuyotte: no idea never used plex [01:14] lmbeta8: whats your problem? [01:15] lmbeta8: just make the share use whatever user the ntfs is mounted with [01:16] if mount ntfs hdd using admin account only admin can login and write to that drive others user can authenticate but are unable access the share [01:17] how can i know whats installed on my ubuntu server with the terminal? [01:17] sporkius2: To see your graphics card and some related info , Terminal command -> sudo lshw -C display <- . [01:18] lmbeta8: just make the share use whatever user you mount the ntfs as [01:18] lmbeta8: or set the guid option when mounting the ntfs to a group that your samba users use [01:19] PCI (sysfs) is what I get [01:20] i want ntfs hdd to be mounted startup with read/write but not sure of what should put /etc/fstab [01:20] sporkius: Give it time to complete. takes a bit to look at the hardware. [01:20] lmbeta8: as ntfs doesnt support the posix permission model youd have to specify a user/group to mount it as, adjust your share accordingly [01:21] or dont use ntfs [01:21] :) [01:22] not using ntfs is not possile should use something like this dev/sdb1 /windows/C type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096) [01:23] http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=AcEYqvaC [01:23] that is what I get [01:23] ignore the top portion of what I sent :P [01:24] what is the update manager? [01:24] ubuntu 12.04 [01:26] sporkius2: That says you have the ATI card [Radeon HD 8500 Series], and the proprietary driver is loaded. What is the issue with it ? [01:27] I have 2 monitors. One is an actual monitor the other is a hdmi tv [01:27] during post both displays work. Once ubuntu starts to load only the monitor displays. The tv doesnt display [01:28] sporkius2: Humm, the card does support 2 monitors. Have you tried the GUI settings in "display" . [01:28] I have and nothing [01:28] I hooked a second monitor up and it works fine [01:28] anyone know lenovo ideapad BIOS settings? [01:28] It is just hanging on connecting to the tv === izaya is now known as Izaya [01:29] I pulled out a windows laptop and the tv works fine on it [01:29] sporkius2: what version did you say you were using [01:30] 12.04 [01:30] I seem to recall having to do weird things like restarting X in order to get new displays to function, have you tried logging out and back in again [01:30] sporkius2: how is that tv connected? [01:30] hdmi? [01:31] yes it is hdmi [01:31] hm [01:31] the spare monitor you tried was also HDMI, correct/ [01:31] and I have bounced the machine a couple times trying to get it to play nice [01:31] ? [01:31] yes [01:31] everything I have tested is hdmi. Only thing the card supports [01:31] is the resolution set wrong? what does the TV say? === MistaMike is now known as MikeMista [01:31] signal out of range or something similar perhaps? [01:31] resolution is right based on what worked for the windows machine === MikeMista is now known as MistaMike [01:32] my experience is that TVs are invariably horrible for use as monitors [01:32] oh I dont argue [01:32] the colors are all wrong, and the resolution is never right either [01:32] I only wanted to use it for movie watching [01:33] TVs like to advertise 1080p, and then actually only be like 1050p [01:33] so it displays as active/enabled mintor in systemsettings - displaydevices? [01:33] and still doesnt display anything? [01:33] yep [01:33] how do I install xchat? [01:34] django, use the software centre or just do sudo apt-get install xchat in the terminal [01:34] It was a long shot anyway [01:34] django: sudo apt-get install xchat [01:34] The fact that a video card works at all is a minor miracle [01:34] django: Ubuntu Software center has it to. [01:34] i heard that atis driver became better over the time [01:35] sporkius2: you could probably try dist-upgrading, to see if it's something a newer release has fixed [01:35] i never had issues with nvidia so i nevertried any ati cards [01:35] oh well this machine is a monster into itself [01:36] If has a pcie x16 in a x8 slot [01:36] and it is a old poweredge server as a desktop [01:36] the fact that it hasnt popped I can handle the tv not working [01:36] wow dont want your powerbill [01:37] oh its only on when I am using it [01:37] sporkius2: ; Wug , mind yall, I do not know, but monitor #2 -> *-display UNCLAIMED , capabilities: pm vga_controller cap_list , configuration: latency=32 mingnt=8 . No driver is loaded - is any available ? Connect the TV and see if there is anything in dmesg log file ? [01:39] but hey who can complain it has 4 quad core processors :D [01:39] anyone play GW2 on ubuntu? [01:40] sporkius2: Not to complain, just want to make it work, maybe a bit more info with the TV connectd, -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- . === hb is now known as Guest44050 === Guest80131 is now known as jje [01:42] django: I don't. Because I don't know where I put that authentication code [01:42] django: can't reinstall because of that... =( === jje is now known as Guest84902 [01:42] viper474, mhm [01:43] Thank you for submitting a gratis Free Software application through MyApps.

[01:44] any help...; [01:46] Guest44050, whoever MyApps is, you'll just have to wait for them to finish their implementation [01:46] sporkius2: look'n at =1KVPP0BR . [01:46] Bashing-om, im not sure what you mean [01:47] both are connected to the addin radeon card? [01:47] that is correct [01:47] hm [01:51] I think I will hang it up. Need to buy a bigger (not 26") tv [01:51] hopefully it will play better in the sandbox === azulay is now known as albedo [01:56] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=E6v5b3wM [01:56] Totally just showing off :P [01:58] hello? [01:58] Hello. [01:58] Odd0002: Do you have an issue you need help with? [01:58] I have a problem with my ubuntu 14.04 minimal install [01:59] my wifi connects on boot, but then after a few minutes, it disconnects and I can't reconnect without rebooting [01:59] Alright I haven't been able to use my Linux because I simply haven't been able to update it in such a long time. Which drive is it that needs to get expanded with Gparted? Is it the root, and if I repartition that specific folder will it erase the data. === UltimateNate is now known as Th3U1timat3 [02:00] Odd0002: What chipset is your wireless card? [02:00] the wifi network essid/key is defined in /etc/networking/interfaces [02:00] it's a b43 one (had to install drivers) [02:00] (not b43-legacy) [02:00] Odd0002: What drivers/firmware did you install? [02:02] Jordan_U: lspci says broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g [02:02] connecting to WEP network [02:02] Odd0002: Please pastebin the output of "lspci -vnn -d 14e4:" . [02:02] uhh, I can't... it's a minimal install... [02:02] !pastebinit | Odd0002 [02:02] Odd0002: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:03] well I guess I have to reboot it then... [02:03] Odd0002: It's better to have an open network than one using WEP. At least with an open network you will hopefully not act like the network is in any way secure. === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [02:03] Odd0002: Can't temporarily connect via ethernet? [02:04] 1 sec [02:05] Jordan_U: do you just do "pastebinit command"? [02:05] or do you do "command > pastebinit"? [02:05] Odd0002: What does ubottu's message say? [02:05] sporkius2: Hate to say but I do not know, only drivers avail per lspci is open source, recon open source on the 2nd output does not play nice with FGLRX on the 1st output ? [02:05] oh [02:06] Odd0002: You can save some typing by ommitting the "-b http://paste.ubuntu.com" as that should be the default anyway. [02:06] ok, it's 7390264 [02:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390264/ [02:08] is this true ubuntu will stop ubuntu one very soon :(\ [02:08] mumersidd: depends what you mean by ubuntu one [02:08] Jordan_U: see it? [02:09] mumersidd: Yes. http://blog.canonical.com/2014/04/02/shutting-down-ubuntu-one-file-services/ [02:09] that free service to upload files [02:09] Odd0002: So you're using the b43 driver. Please pastebin the output of "dmesg". [02:12] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390277/ , starting around line 716 [02:12] is the wifi info [02:13] Jordan_U: and then after line 754 it disconnects [02:14] Odd0002: How are you trying to re-connect? [02:15] ifdown then ifup [02:15] ifdown wlan0 [02:15] ifup wlan0 [02:16] gets stuck on the DHCPDISCOVER after ifup [02:16] Odd0002: Please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces . [02:16] yes mumersidd [02:16] Odd0002: And the output of "iwconfig". [02:17] how to heighlight in vi ? any idea [02:18] highlight [02:18] :set hlsearch [02:20] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390300/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390305/ [02:20] Jordan_U: this is after it disconnects [02:22] Odd0002: Do you have network-manager installed? [02:24] Jordan_U: sort of... I have openbox and installed network manager and let it manage interfaces, but it doesn't connect to it either after it disconnects [02:25] Odd0002: So in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf you have "[ifupdown]\nmanaged=true" (where '\n' is a newline)? [02:26] yes [02:26] Is it me or does "Window theme" not do anything in Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.7 on Ubuntu 14.04? Perhaps a bug? [02:27] ominomi: unity no longer uses metacity decorator [02:29] Odd0002: Does "sudo rmmod b43 b43-pci-bridge && sudo modprobe b43" allow it to connect again? [02:29] hmm, didn't try [02:29] 1 sec [02:31] is ubuntu 14.04 using new Xserver created by ubuntu [02:31] Jordan_U: hmm, the b43-pci-bridge module isn't loaded... but it does reconnect after reloading the module [02:32] mir ? [02:32] the b43-module [02:33] Jordan_U: wait... I forgot I was connected to ethernet [02:33] mumersidd: no [02:33] Odd0002: I was a little surprised to see lspci listing it as the driver in use, maybe internally b43-pci-bridge is provided by the b43 module. [02:33] xangua when they will use mir :( because it will take to much time to launch another LTS [02:34] 14:10 15:04 15:10 16:04 will be LTS [02:34] mumersidd: Nobody knows for sure, and some people think possibly never (though that's not the official timeline of course :). [02:34] hmmm [02:34] Jordan_U: hmm, no it doesn't let it reconnect, but ifup seems to reload the module itself... [02:35] mumersidd: If you'd like to discuss the nebulous future, pop into #ubuntu-offtopic :) [02:36] hello, I have an xubuntu question, would this be an ok place to ask it? [02:36] Odd0002: As much as I don't like suggesting proprietary drivers over open ones, wl is another option that should work for your card. [02:37] mumersidd, mir will be ready for 16.04, that's the plan anyway [02:37] esterleigh: Yes, though #xubuntu might have more people familiar with XFCE. [02:37] Jordan_U: well, it's worked fine since ubuntu 9.10 with a full DE... [02:37] mumersidd, it's already in 14.04 but only for testing [02:37] ok thanks, nobody's responding over at #xubuntu so I'll try here [02:38] hmm thanks for the update guys [02:38] Odd0002: Can you try testing with a 14.04 LiveCD to see if you can reproduce the problem? [02:38] with mint xfce I could right click in thunar for root access [02:38] mumersidd, if you want to test it out, http://www.olli-ries.com/doing-more-with-your-unity8-preview-session-in-ubuntu-14-04/ [02:38] but i don't seem to be able to gain root access with thunar in xubuntu [02:38] is it possible w/o terminal? [02:38] Jordan_U: live cd? I won't be able to install the wifi drivers then... [02:38] because it requires a reboot [02:39] thanks for the url kostkon [02:39] mumersidd, np [02:39] Odd0002: 1: It's firmware you need, not drivers 2: The "Additional Drivers" tool sometimes lies about what actually requires a reboot :) [02:40] is there nay good putty manager for ubuntu i use x4shell for windows that's i really miss in ubuntu [02:40] mumersidd, putty [02:40] putty manager so i can manage all the lists of different clients save passwords [02:40] !info putty [02:40] putty (source: putty): Telnet/SSH client for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.63-4 (trusty), package size 268 kB, installed size 815 kB [02:40] Jordan_U: but then I'd have to download a liveCD and run it on slow hardware... [02:41] in putty you can not create folders like client1 and all it's server another folder client to and all it's server [02:41] Jordan_U: any other suggestions? [02:41] Odd0002: An Lubuntu LiveCD runs great on my almost 10 year old laptop. [02:42] but ...download times... [02:42] use usb wireless card 0dd002 [02:42] :) [02:43] mumersidd: the only USB wireless card I have requires ndiswrapper to work... [02:43] I just spent 2 days fighting with my Thinkpad T30's built-in wireless card before remembering I had a slim factor USB wifi card. Was connected within 3 minutes of plugging it in, lol. [02:43] Odd0002: wl [02:43] Jordan_U: the thing I found strange was that it disconnected after about 300 seconds every time... [02:43] lolz Locke2002 [02:44] Odd0002: Is this network used by a lot of other machines? [02:44] Jordan_U: what's your concern with that? [02:45] Jordan_U: I don't know what you mean by "a lot"; there's enough dhcp addresses to go around, and it works on linux mint 15, 13, 9, ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 9.10... [02:46] Odd0002: This comment on a possibly related bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/872578/comments/9 Though that user only experienced disconnects, not inability to reconnect. [02:46] Launchpad bug 872578 in wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) "The infamous "deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)"" [Undecided,Won't fix] [02:46] Odd0002: macbook use wlan cards from broadcom [02:46] nick___: this is an HP netbook from 2009 [02:46] Jordan_U: that's for wpa... not wep [02:49] Jordan_U: I'm confused about this problem as well: without networkmanager I couldn't connect the the university wifi (open network), but with it, I can without disconnecting; without networkmanager it seemed to stay connected? [02:49] wicd didn't work either [02:49] Odd0002: But the network being at capacity doesn't sound like a WPA specific problem. Why is this network using WEP anyway? === Th3U1timat3 is now known as UltimateNate === Darkwing_ is now known as Darkwing [02:50] Jordan_U: it's been using WEP for a long time, and I sometimes connect some old hardware to it === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:50] Odd0002: Why not make it open, since it effectively is already? [02:50] and there's a lot of stuff like printers and etc that I'd have to reconfigure [02:51] Jordan_U: because no one's tried to get on it before (I can tell by the DHCP table) [02:51] and my wifi doesn't extend very far past the walls of the house [02:52] Odd0002: Try making it open and see if the problem goes away. [02:53] Jordan_U: the thing I want from the distro is really short boot times on an HDD, so I went with a minimal install [02:53] Odd0002: "without networkmanager I couldn't connect the the university wifi (open network), but with it, I can without disconnecting; without networkmanager it seemed to stay connected?" This comment is confusing and seems possibly self-contradictory. Could you please rephrase it? [02:54] and I have nothing on the computer, so if you want to recommend a distro for it, please do [02:57] Jordan_U: without networkmanager: couldn't connect to open university wifi that required signing in, but could connect to WEP and (I think) didn't disconnect;;; with networkmanager: finally connected and registered to open wifi, but then started seeing "you were disconnected" message after 5 minutes of being connected to WEP network [02:57] hello all [02:58] anyone know about installing ubuntu alongside windows 8.1? having partitioning issues...

[03:52] sorry its too hot/humid here [03:52] Lac3rat3d: interesting question. I'm not sure. I mean, I guess you could: alias=sudo echo blah /dev/null && command [03:53] Lac3rat3d: everything in quotes after = [03:53] Lac3rat3d: but they could run the command that alias is pointing to without the password [03:54] Lac3rat3d: and run alias to list the defined aliases(sp?) [03:54] viper474: i don't know what those commands do, but it may be of note that it's not just a straight up alias, it's an alias function. as in function sample() { program -args ; } [03:54] * /path/to/program -args [03:55] i see what you mean though about just doing: type aliasName [03:55] seeing the path and args and running manually [03:55] :( [03:56] Lac3rat3d: could probably just put it in a shell script [03:56] Lac3rat3d: set the attributes to be executable without read/write access?

I can't find it [05:51] dgarstang, its on the ubuntu main page [05:51] you know there a re a couple listings of different varieties which one are you .... are you in california or the uk [05:51] that might be weird [05:51] CA [05:51] cool you work for piranha bay [05:51] ghostx562: Server? Desktop? Something else? [05:52] dgarstang: which version you looking for? [05:52] desktop [05:52] then scroll down [05:52] cghostx562: 12.04 [05:52] i used to live in ventura where is signal hill [05:52] i live in iowa now [05:52] blech! [05:52] ghostx562; Well then I get taken to a download for 14, which I don't want [05:52] one sec, ill fetch a link for ya [05:53] Signal hill is near long beach, seal beach [05:53] cool i gots family out there [05:53] what do you do [05:53] ghostx562: and then if I go to alternate downloads... again... i dunno what to download. [05:53] dgarstang: here ya go [05:53] http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [05:53] ghostx562: ok, but nothing there says 'live' [05:53] then click on desktop depending whwat you want [05:54] "live" cd is the same as the regular ISO [05:54] ghostx562L So Desktop == live? Ok [05:54] when you boot it will ask if you want to install or use as live cd [05:54] thomedy, silk screen printing [05:54] ghostx562: Well in that case, if I boot from The desktop/Live, the grub menu has no ooption for a 'boot from cd'. there's only install [05:54] theres an error in the setting of new software channels... my first thought is i could easily remove all software i can find [05:54] ghostx562: live would imply it boots off cd and gives you a prompt./ [05:55] but it said taht it coudl be because i have unsanctioned software as an option [05:55] any suggesstions other than remove everything [05:55] dgarstang: when you boot from the usb/cd it does give an option [05:55] ghostx562: Nope... I have 'install' and ... err, something else I cant remember. lemme see [05:56] thomedy, honestly just backup to an external and wipe for a clean install [05:56] okay that is definately not something i am doing tonight [05:56] dgarstang: it should give you install and try option [05:56] i dont need 14 that bad [05:56] maybe just let it delete. [05:56] i just want it [05:56] it might be talking about the restricted extras? [05:56] ghostx562: I got it , thanks [05:56] dgarstang: no problemo [05:58] if you need me tag my name so i get the message, watching a movie [06:00] Asking again...I just mounted postgres home(/var/lib/postgresql) with ecryptfs. After rebooting the machine, it is mounted for me automatically, but if I try to do any writes it tells me that it's a read-only filesystem. It's very weird coz mount shows it mounted as read/write.

[06:23] Radon_3: you try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-ubuntu-12-04.html [06:24] Is there a channel for Ubuntu touch?

[06:25] Thx [06:25] uncle_ben: have you gone into synaptic package manager and see if there is an option to repair firefox or remove it? [06:26] ghostx562: i'm really doubting it's a corruption problem in firefox [06:26] ghostx562: greate link man, thank you, but is there someway that I could do this without a PPa, I don't know but i have mistrust issues about PPAs [06:27] uncle_ben: worst case back up and reinstall [06:27] Radon_3: let me double check on that [06:28] what's wrong with origianl sun java webpage? https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ? [06:29] Radon_3: nothing, i just thought you would like to use terminal and getting a confirmed working way of installing java [06:29] what you can do is get the linux x64 from java site and follow the instructions provided to get it working? [06:29] Hello [06:29] worst case use the PPA install method, then just remove the PPA? [06:29] hello comrades, how would I change the shortcut of switching desktop from control+alt+arrows to just control+arrows? and moving window from workspace to workspace with control + alt + arrows? thanks in advance! [06:30] Radon_3: it should leave java installed and working, just no updates im thinking [06:30] Somewhere in the keyboard settings under "system settings" [06:30] I believe. [06:30] sorry for the take off [06:30] anyone answered me while I was gone? [06:30] yeah [06:31] I appear to not have a launcher or top-bar anymore.. Upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 and some stuff broke and I think I accidentally removed quite a few necessary packages. [06:31] Radon_3: download the x64 java from the java site, and try using the instructions provided to install it? i thought you would like the PPA approach as it has a detailed how to [06:31] sudo apt-get install java-package [06:32] guys I'm trying to install google webdesigner deb using dpkg, but I get dpkg-split: error: error reading google-webdesigner_current_amd64.deb: Input/output error [06:32] maxh76: try terminal [06:32] I have built a custom kernel for a kvm based linux guest. I works fine with the rt and e1000 nic emulation however does not find the NIC when using paravirt. what needs to go in the kernel to get it to recognize a paravirt network card in qemu-kvm? [06:32] download the tarball, create and install deb packages with java from oracle [06:32] geowany: that won't install openjdk? [06:33] ghostx562: terminal works, I just don't know what packages to isntall or anything like that.. [06:33] maxh76: sudo apt-get upgrade? it should install missing packages [06:34] ghostx562: i just forced a reinstall, but that didn't do anything either [06:34] Radon_3: the package can be created by make-jpkg command, after install java-package [06:34] 'sudo apt-get install unity' that worked, I think. It seems like it's installing the same deleted packages. [06:35] How to I update from 12.10 to 13.10 I keep getting errors, and I'm not sure what to do about them. [06:35] maxh76: what errors? [06:35] uncle_ben: you might be SOL [06:36] nah...just need to hit the forums...but thanks for your help [06:36] maxh76, 13.10 is eol, you would be best backing up and installing 14.04 fresh in my opinion. [06:36] ghostx562: 'Error: Marking the upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.)' I do not see any held packages. [06:36] Radon_3: Don't need openjdk. [06:36] Beldar: 13.10 has couple of weeks support left, its not EOL yet [06:37] I don't know if I have the space to back up anywhere, or the time do to that. [06:37] 13.10 runs out in july I believe, maybe june. [06:37] llutz, Ah, thanks. [06:38] geowany: so correct me please if I am wrong: to install java jre from oracle in ubuntu I will have to run these commands: [06:38] maxh76: try this in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:38] then check for update again [06:38] sudo apt-get install java-package [06:38] then [06:38] also seems like you have broken packages maxh76 [06:38] sudo make-jpkg [06:38] am I right? [06:39] make-jpkg [06:40] a deb file will be created, so u'll use dpkg to install it. [06:40] ok, so there are two packages available,Linux x64 RPM * and Linux x64* which one should I download? [06:41] Linux x64* [06:41] Don't use RPM. [06:41] Radon_3: the tar-file [06:42] ok, I am downloading it [06:42] one more question [06:42] anyone know where i can find mvoie links [06:42] I have downloaded a .run file from nvidia website which is the driver to my grapchics card for linux, would this command install it correctly in ubuntu: [06:43] sh ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run [06:43] $ chmod + [06:43] Radon_3: why don't you use the drivers from repos? [06:44] django: ?? mvoie? [06:44] oh, by the way I have tried installing all the drivers provided by the repository and I always endup getting a black screen with a blinking cursor [06:44] I found problems with kubuntu 14.04 'cause it's use nouveau drivers [06:45] geowany: instead of 'sh' just 'chmod + ' right? like this: "chmod ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run"? [06:45] So I tried to install kubuntu 12.04 and upgrade to 14.04 [06:46] geowany: or it should be "chmod + ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run"? with a plus sign? [06:46] $ chmod +x nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run [06:47] to give permission for run [06:47] after, run with "$ sudo ./nvidia-linux-blablabla.run" [06:49] I had to do this, but after I killed graphical mode with a "$ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop" on tty (Ctrl + alt + F1(or F2-F6)) [06:53] hi [06:53] still having difficulty installing onto a raid5. do i need to put /boot on a separate partition which is not involved in the raid?? [06:55] geowany: An easier way is to boot into a GUI-free mode (recovery mode) and just run it as root [06:55] No problems there [06:56] when installing a bunch of games, i seem to have filled up my root directory... i cant figure out what caused it. https://lut.im/kuii0SdX/Q2EOyfi9 === teja is now known as Guest49616 [06:57] alfonsojon: you're right [06:58] geowany: But if the way you did it works too, great. [06:58] That's just safer :P [06:58] laigualdad: sudo du -shc /* should tell you where most space is. I'm betting on /usr/share and/or /usr/games [06:59] Is there currently a way to have a looped video be your wallpaper in 14.04? [06:59] tried a-desk etc (old old instructions) didn't work [06:59] alfonsojon: the time I used slackware affected my mind [06:59] 8.9M /bin [06:59] 151M /boot [06:59] 4.0K /cdrom [06:59] 4.0K /dev [06:59] 13M /etc [07:00] geowany: slackware doesn't have some sort of root console-only mode? [07:01] alfonsojon: yes [07:01] oh, it took a moment ta load, but there was actually a lot more. one sec. [07:01] laigualdad: use a pastebin [07:01] ok [07:01] hello comrades, how would I change the shortcut of switching desktop from control+alt+arrows to just control+arrows? and moving window from workspace to workspace with control + alt + arrows? thanks in advance! [07:01] but I don't like to do startx and I have been changed runlevel [07:02] webgen: ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) allows you to endlessly tweak keyboard shortcuts [07:03] Seveas, thanks ! [07:03] If it can be tweaked, CCSM has it. [07:04] i cant seem to scroll up in the terminal for some reason (even though i set the scroll to unlimited) so i'll just highlight that i see /usr takes up 9.2G and /var takes up 3.4G === alfonsojon_ is now known as alfonsojon [07:05] laigualdad , are you on a remote host ? btwyou can use | less to scoll up and down output [07:07] I am using ubuntu 12.10 is ther any good way to setup a work around to escape the sudo thing ......... everytime I go to creat a directory copile and program or somthing I run inito access denied I am used to creating a root acount and rebooting into it to do all my programing and this sudo thing is really getting anoying I realize that it is a very good security feature and is has its advantages but ????????? do I have too relearn prog [07:07] raming techniques or am just stupid or somthing or should I get another os [07:09] lnx, sudo -i for a root shell [07:09] not on a remote host, im not familiar with the command. hm, but i think i can piece the output together. yes, that works, got it: http://pastebin.com/QMHCeabq [07:10] should I do sudo for eery shell that I chang to for dif tasks [07:10] lnx, sudo -i the once [07:11] ok I will do that thanks [07:11] i suppose if i moved usr and var to separate partitions, this would help? [07:11] lnx: if you think to need root-rights for everything you do, you should re-think your workflow first [07:11] laigualdad: as I suspected, /usr is getting quite big - games can be quite big and install into the root partition, you should have made it larger :( [07:12] annoying that it does! [07:12] laigualdad: /usr shouldn't be on a separate partition, /var can but that doesn't help much. I'd just use one big partition and not separate /home [07:12] ok, so if i want the games, i need to extend my / ? [07:13] laigualdad: indeed. There may be some easy wins like doing sudo apt-get clean [07:13] but that'll be a few 100 mb at best [07:13] tried that xD [07:13] yeah [07:13] thanks! why should i not keep /home separate? [07:14] laigualdad: why should you? [07:14] can someone please help me..i have a lpatop with nvidia and intel graphics card [07:14] it gets hot with ubuntu [07:14] what do I do? [07:14] Seveas, it is possibly mroe secure if you do [07:15] InFierno: nope. [07:15] but that said any hacker who puts enough time and effort in will break in [07:15] laigualdad, it does make upgrades easier [07:16] larrypg: nonsense [07:16] Side note on ubuntu is t possible to configure shorewall as a first firewal (permanent blocklist) to then goto iptables + fail2ban (temp) blocklist [07:16] i see [07:16] InFierno: shorewall and fail2ban are both "just" frontends to iptables, so yes, that can be done. [07:17] Seveas, would have to disagree but thats ok [07:17] I figured - how fiddly would it be? [07:17] Seveas, I can only guess he means if he wants to upgrade userdrive separate from OS drive (like in my case I use a 64gb ssd for boot drive, and an HDD for userdrives) [07:17] though if you only want permanent blocklists, why use shorewall. iptables -A INPUT -s ip.to.block -j DROP is enough [07:17] fail2ban clears permanent blocklists on restart [07:17] IIRC === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:18] InFierno: if you use separate drives, that's a different thing. But not separate partitions on one drive. (and if the drives are the same, so not ssd and hdd, I'd use LVM to turn them into one big blob) [07:18] well i had to jog my memory but one thing is it allows for a reinstall without losing my personal files and settings [07:18] ^^ this is trie [07:18] InFierno: fail2ban maintains its own chain in the filter table and adds a pointer to it from the INPUT chain. not too fiddly. [07:19] I spent 4hrs yesterday chasing down an "issue" that is just a lovely feature of hyperV [07:19] laigualdad: with reinstalls it helps, but I've rarely doen one of those. Last one was in '05 or '06 :) [07:19] InFierno: oh, you mean where iptables rules don't work under hyperv? :) [07:19] Ubuntu detects hyper-v with integraton as having a max-link speed of 100mbit - on a 10gbit port [07:20] but actually connects at 10gbit lol [07:20] nifty [07:20] i see :) [07:21] Ill probably come poke you when I get new server up -> you got any recommendations for freebie ubuntu web controlpanels (i could do vhosts etc manually, but for 100+ domains its far easier to use a control panel for the vhosts) [07:21] and for new machines, I just install Ubuntu and rsync -av old-box:/home/dennis/ /home/dennis/ :) [07:21] okay, thanks for that! [07:21] InFierno: I hate control panels. Learn puppet. [07:22] InFierno: that said, http://thenubbyadmin.com/2014/04/22/definitive-list-of-web-based-server-control-panels/ [07:22] ciao [07:23] I basically just need something that can do the dns and vhosts - because large numbers of those are fooking boring [07:24] InFierno: that's where puppet comes in, create one template, make N vhosts and zonefiles.

[08:17] afta 13.10 i will goto 14.04 [08:18] or can i straight upgrade to 14.04? [08:18] rimal from 12.04? yes. [08:18] no 13.04 [08:19] rimal, if you want to keep your settings then choose something else and then do not format /home [08:19] !eolupgrade|rimal this works but it's LOADS easier to torrent 14.04 and clean install [08:19] rimal this works but it's LOADS easier to torrent 14.04 and clean install: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:20] Hey, I'm on 14.04 and /sbin/init is taking a lot of CPU time, this is first time I see this. Can I kill this process? http://sc-cdn.scaleengine.net/i/095dfdf272cea5b9da0fea9fbe2eb70e.png [08:21] ewooy: No, this is the main process [08:22] larrypg, someone said to me that it will show an upgrade option while booting the installation media. Will that upgrade or a fresh install? [08:22] SunilJoshi, why I'm noticing this just now? [08:24] rimal, to be honest I am not positive as I always have used it to do a fresh install and I don't remember if that option is there [08:29] larrypg, okay. if i go with fresh installation and something else option and leaving /home partition unformatted will retain all of my files in home directory. [08:29] right? [08:29] rimal, yes [08:29] rimal: yes [08:30] rimal: you have 2 confirmations now :P [08:30] :-) [08:30] rimal: i tried this out, few days back, so i answered it [08:30] larrypg, SunilJoshi : so i will lose all of my installed packages :-( [08:31] rimal: When i tried, yes I lost all installed packages [08:31] rimal, that is true as far as I know as the / partition will be formated [08:32] rimal the / partition will indeed be formatted as larrypg describes. [08:32] hello, I want to create some sort of virual cluster where I want my host os (ubuntu) to act as the server and 2-3 guests as client nodes. What is the best way to achieve this? [08:32] cfhowlett, yes [08:33] !server|b1n4ry might want to ask server channel [08:33] b1n4ry might want to ask server channel: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [08:34] cfhowlett, have you ever tried upgrading using installation medium? [08:35] rimal only once. I don't remember the details but it must have been sub-optimal as I've only done fresh installs since. FWIW I also install only lts, so my advice might not be overly useful to you. [08:35] cfhowlett, okay.. [08:37] cfhowlett, i tried to upgrade using update-manager but it required about 1.8 GB to be downloaded. I have limited bandwidth. Can i do that on multiple sessions? [08:38] rimal inadvisable! once that upgrade starts you want it to complete and release your apt-lock! Suggest you torrent the ISO instead. then you can use the ISO as upgrade source or do a clean install. [08:38] rimal: yes you can do that n multiple sessions, while the packages are getting downloaded you can discontinue and next time it will resume from there.. [08:39] But i agree with cfhowlett too!! [08:40] cfhowlett, SunilJoshi , larrypg , ubottu : Thanks Every one ....:) [08:40] rimal best of luck to you.

[08:53] Newbienewb: Then you need to put that harddisk into another machine, or into an external hard disk casing for laptop harddisks. [08:54] Newbienewb actually, that makes sense. go sudo and change the properties and you should be able to access [08:54] Newbienewb: Yes, what cfhowlett says.

[10:02] Hi [10:02] zxy_64 what cfhowlett says, but it takes about 2 hours and you have to stay present to confirm some changes -- i tried it [10:02] cfhowlett, with -d i get the same [10:03] I've to delete all the files on my mp3 player [10:03] zxy_64 try disabling the backports, first [10:03] zxy_64 sorry, then. don't know what to do with that [10:03] It remains one file, yet [10:03] but I don't know how to delete it [10:03] cristian_c sudo rm filename [10:03] libreoffice seems not fine with .doc files [10:04] many indenting is not correct [10:04] many lines be their correct place [10:04] is it something Ican fix in libre office === fly_ is now known as Fly80 [10:05] mm_ true, it's not 100% compatible, similar issues with presentations [10:05] MonkeyDust: so what shall be done?

Please suggest [10:13] virtualbox contain office by default?

[10:14] mm_ of course not. [10:14] its not happening with every mp4 file but this one [10:14] DestinyAwaits: then it sounds like a problem with that one file [10:14] should still be relevant , based on 12.04 [10:14] whats is it called the system checke any OS does when booting? [10:14] so after installing it. I need to launch windows [10:14] and figure a way to install it. [10:14] DestinyAwaits ah, I BET that's a HD file. won't play - don't play [10:14] linuxlite1991: sorry, but no. only official ubuntu is supported here [10:14] maybe the problem can be its a 1 GB file and others are just in MB's [10:15] DestinyAwaits: unlikely. what is the file? can you upload the first 10MB somewhere? [10:15] DestinyAwaits a 1 gig file and you have only 2 gigs ram total. thank about that [10:15] Hello. I receive "Waiting for network configuration" during system start. [10:15] Is there a potplayer for ubuntu..

[10:19] I want free copy [10:19] DestinyAwaits: then probably a problem with the file, or your computer isn't beefy enough to play it with those settings [10:19] mm_ obviously, we can't help you with that.

[11:00] hi, i get frequent system crash reports. how can i print all files that differ compared to a clean new ubuntu install? [11:01] chris112: How will diff'ing systems help you at that point? [11:01] chris112: What are the details of the system crash reports? [11:02] chris112 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9qk1l0c7x2v1ns8/Backup%20and%20restore%20Ubuntu.pdf [11:06] Kuroshita, Go Settings Ben64 and bekks: thanks for the gksudo tip too. I was reading what the .Xauthority file does [11:16] Hi could anyone help me with this ? askubuntu.com/questions/459654/ubuntu-14-04-drivers-for-broadcom-bcm43142 ? I am desparately stuck with this for the past 1 week. Please ? [11:17] i think to day is my day === moldengo is now known as nodedfree [11:25] hello. Looking for help troubleshooting a wireless connection problem. Running Trusty. [11:25] Ashael: Then state your actual issue please. [11:27] bekks: manage to connect to wireless, but no data passing through. I suspect it may some kind of an identificaion problem. Had issues before with certificates and passwords, but haven't managed to solve this one. [11:29] Hello. How can I change GUI from Unity to LXDE for another account on this computer? [11:29] (I've got lxde and lxde-desktop installed) [11:29] Sceptic logout. choose lxde/lubuntu session. login [11:31] help with faulty wireless connection? connection successful but no data :( === z is now known as Guest99149 [11:40] hi all, can someone please clarify if i install ubuntu-desktop task on a ubuntu 14.04 server will the network-manager works or it will be incompatible? [11:41] FoSi it won't be incompatible but there's nothing in the gui that you can't configure in the server via CLI [11:42] i have two apps that the system admin needs to use often and also the firefox [11:42] i really need a stable desktop env [11:43] but yes.. no argues on that cli does the job just great [11:43] FoSi you can install desktop and add the server packages ... [11:43] FoSi: do you need a desktop or a server? Running desktop apps on a server is a bad idea [11:44] trijntje: thats not really an issue! most of servers run desktops and you now that :) [11:44] cfhowlett: hm.. like tasksel ... ubuntu server something like that? [11:45] FoSi: most servers run desktops? Thats not true at all. You can run a desktop on a server if you want, but that is generally considered a bad idea for security reasons [11:45] FoSi I believe so. also, check the #ubuntu-server channel [11:47] quit [11:47] trijntje: i know all that.. but look at windows server and redhat.. and some more [11:47] there are tasks that need gui === tcpman is now known as Guest75673 [11:48] custom apps and webapps, etc [11:48] FoSi: redhat kickstart doesnt need a gui, neither Widnows Core has a GUI. [11:48] i dont say its a bad idea to have a server only with cli! im saying there are need for all things [11:49] FoSi I think we can agree to that. question is how best in your case. [11:49] yeah.. but i dont see very often kickstart beeing used and core also [11:49] My display server seems to have frozen. everything except for the mouse cursor. Clicking still works, but nothing on the screen is being updated. any suggestions? [11:49] FoSi: Then you have not much to do with server business. [11:49] but thats in my universe experience [11:50] bekks: be nice to people... im only saying that in this case i need a gui [11:50] FoSi: I am nice. If you take a fact that personal, I cant change it. [11:51] and in my experience... windows server and redhat is used with a gui.. im not saying its bad or good [11:51] FoSi: Can we move on to Ubuntu support issues then? [11:51] i trully know that having a server its better without all the junk [11:53] i ill try cfhowlett idea on installing server task under the desktop version.. or install a bare ubuntu gui with the no-recommends [11:53] Doesnt your admin have his/her own desktop PC? :) [11:54] yes [11:54] Then you dont need any gui on your server. [11:54] restarting Xorg brought it back, but it's super slow on the desktop now. Anyone kneo what I'm talking about? [11:56] that would be great if the apps worked on his desktop.. well they work under rdp [11:56] On linux, you dont have a RDP server ;) [11:57] lol [11:57] Thats no joke. [11:58] hello [11:59] bekks: xrdp? [11:59] lblume: thats a mess, but not a reasonably sane application :) [11:59] Gamex ask your ubuntu questions [12:00] lblume: It's even worse than plain vnc, not tunneled through ssh. :) [12:00] bekks: Okay, I was just going to ask that, I wanted to give it a try to compare to VNC :-) [12:01] lblume: I'd just use nxclient/nxserver from nomachine. [12:01] vino vnc isnt working as expected on 14.04 [12:02] at least for me [12:02] Then use a sane vnc server, not that vino crap. :) [12:03] dont need it.. but vino could do the job for some situations [12:04] It requires a desktop - which is unwanted on a server. Everything you need can be achieved through ssh -X and a X server on the client. [12:04] bekks: Mostly so far I tend to run a regular VNC server when I need it and start what's needed inside. [12:04] I get black screen after I wake up my notebook and login, I'm using xubuntu 14.04,dell inspiron 1121 [12:04] lblume: Yeah. [12:04] i am happy today [12:04] abdu ask your ubuntu question [12:05] hello, I'm missing the ldconfig on ubuntu 12.04. Could anyone suggest where I can get it and where to put it on my system? [12:05] first time to use irc, curious :) [12:07] hey guys. [12:07] Hi EmsY [12:07] Anyone installed Lazarus (free pascal) on ubuntu? [12:07] Not me, I'm sorry [12:08] i downloaded gpointing-device-settings to enable scroll un left mouse button on a logitech trackball, but cant get it working [12:08] hi [12:08] :D [12:08] lotuspsychje: does the program launch? [12:08] Or is it just not applying the setting? [12:08] Hi manel [12:09] Maybe you know how to help me WolfLambert? I have an error " Dependency is not satisfiable: fpc (>=2.6.4)|fp-compiler (.=2.6.4) [12:09] WolfLambert: it doesnt want to config the scroll [12:10] WolfLambert: the trackball tab show on gpointing devices, but when i enable vertical scroll it doesnt do nothing [12:11] lotuspsychje: searched it on DuckDuckGo. There seem to be a few users who either don't get anything to change, or be able to change it but it reverts back to the standard when rebooting. [12:11] I can't find a solution [12:12] WolfLambert: tnx anyway [12:13] ubuntu displays kanji in a wrong font as in http://imagebin.org/308945 [12:14] EmsY: did you try to install lazarus from repos or 3rd-party package? [12:14] What should I do? [12:14] llutz: I think I found a solution? [12:14] that wasn't a question :D [12:14] crocket: not seeing anything wrong [12:14] crocket exactly ^^^ [12:15] Ben64, http://imagebin.org/308945 [12:15] Where can I get the ldconfig file for ubuntu 12.04 [12:15] crocket looks like kanji to me ... [12:15] The kanji character at the top left corner has to look like the one at the bottom right corner. [12:15] I downloaded only one package llutz [12:16] But, it has additional stroke. [12:16] not really, just a different style [12:16] EmsY: why dn't you use the repo-version? [12:16] hi! do i need to download a specific .iso for the full disk encryption options or do i get that on all of them? [12:16] llutz: the repo version? [12:17] EmsY: sudo apt-get install lazarus [12:17] crocket look at a different kanji site. if the error is there, maybe it's a font issue. if not, it's your kanji practice app [12:17] llutz: lol thanks :D [12:18] llutz: Do you know pascal then? [12:18] cfhowlett, It is jisho.org [12:18] crocket ??? check multiple sources ... [12:18] EmsY: i never really used it [12:18] crocket: its just different styles... if you're trying to learn kanji you should already know this [12:19] hi! do i need to download a specific .iso for the full disk encryption options or do i get that on all of them? [12:19] crocket OH! ben64 is right! [12:19] llutz: but have you learned pascal? [12:19] cfhowlett: of course i am :) [12:19] J84y5u all ISO's can do full disk encrypt - except perhaps mini [12:20] cfhowlett: finally... thank you === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [12:20] EmsY: not more than a " hello world", ages ago [12:20] I'm studying pascal first year. Can someone help me to write a program about numeral systems? [12:20] i have a problem installing remastersys. it says: The following packages have unmet dependencies: remastersys-gui : Depends: plymouth-x11 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [12:20] EmsY: you might better ask a pascal programming channel. [12:20] llutz: lol. I hate pascal but we have to study it here, in Latvia [12:21] EmsY: it's still used to learn programming? odd... [12:21] does anybody know how to fix this? [12:21] EmsY: I'm pretty sure there is a ##pascal or #pascal or #programming channel [12:21] EmsY this isn't pascal programming channel. Suggest you search elsehwere for tutuorial [12:21] slart: ok, thanks [12:21] hello i need some info im pretty new to ubuntu linux how secure is it ? and in linux do need a antivirus ? im comming from windows since im getting sick of getting the blue screen of death lol [12:21] okok chill [12:21] !virus|yogy [12:21] yogy: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [12:22] llutz: I'm shocked aswell. I went to study for a programmer, I didn't know that first year we'll learn only pascal and second year Delphi... [12:22] yogy: security depends on what you do. you still need to follow certain practices to be the safest [12:22] yogy avoid 411 scams and pron sites will solve most issues [12:23] EmsY: well, it has no real practical relevance but still is a good way to learn structured programming i'd guess [12:23] llutz: it's difficult.. [12:23] comparing to other languages. [12:23] ill just be using ubuntu alone as a only os on one pc just using for basicly sending and receiving emails and music and videos ( youtube ) & skype for all that it shauld be pretty secure hey ??

[12:24] Hello guys, is it possible for me to install an older kernel in Ubuntu 14.04? AMD has no stable drivers for my GPU for the 3.13 kernel, yet [12:24] yogy: you might want to avoid getting a java plugin for your web browser, thats a big security risk on any os [12:25] h3r1: Try sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11 before installing remastersys-gui [12:25] !remastersys|h3r1 [12:25] h3r1 remastersys is abandonware [12:26] test [12:26] hi rimdeker!!! i already tried it. i get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: plymouth-x11 : Depends: libplymouth2 (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed Depends: plymouth (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[12:26] bekks: heh [12:27] Hey guys, I'm having some problem with my sound card. It had a terrible white noise, but I managed to fix that using HDA_Analyzer (as suggested by this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/705633). The problem is, though, that I have to do that every time I boot, is there some way to do it automatically? What fixes the white noise is muting Val[2] and Val[3] in Node[0x0c] AUD_MIX [12:27] Launchpad bug 705633 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "[Realtek ALC889] Horrible Sound distortion" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:27] cfhowlett, what does that mean? it is still the best system recovery tool i know under linux [12:27] bekks,rimdeker: i want to pratice online, can u suggest me the web ? :3 [12:27] lawnewbie: What field/subject? [12:27] h3r1 no longer maintained [12:27] lawnewbie: Do you have a ubuntu support question? [12:28] lawnewbie you seem to to be lost - your personal tutor is not in this channel. Please restrict yourself to ubuntu questions. [12:28] hey guys. i am happy :). i successfully installed thr ubuntu 11 live cd to my hd. upgraded to 12.04 for now [12:28] yes, i know, but it still works... i just want to install it... or do you mean it cannot be downloaded anymore? [12:29] i am on a amd 5350 kabini with radeon r3 apu [12:29] cfhowlet yes, i know, but it still works... i just want to install it... or do you mean it cannot be downloaded anymore? [12:29] i am so glad. its working [12:29] rimdeker, do you have an advice? [12:29] maybe im in wrong channel . . . [12:30] h3r1 so long as you don't expect it to function properly, install away ... [12:30] what tool would you recomend [12:30] !backup| h3r1 [12:30] h3r1: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [12:31] h3r1: Get the dependencies and compile from source is an option, I guess [12:32] rimdeker i am not that experienced with linux... how would i do that? [12:32] ubuntu installed fglrx drivers for me. now i have this underscan/overscan issue. i need to adjust the overscan setting. could you tell me where to look at? its an radeon r3 apu. checked the settings/display but there is no such option. and i dont have a amd/ccc installed. any hint? [12:34] h3r1: don't bother compiling stuf yourself when there are alterantives. What exactly do you want to do anyway? [12:34] h3r1: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/ , there should be instructions on the webpage or the source folder [12:35] ubottu thanx for the links... which one of all is the easiest and has a function most similar to the dist-iso on remastersys? [12:35] h3r1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:35] is there a terminal emulator with command history? [12:35] krizoek_: Every shell has a history. === jamieshep is now known as jamieshepherd [12:36] How can I install an older kernel in Ubuntu 14.04 without compiling my own?

What is the end goal you want to achieve with remastersys? [12:37] how can i overscan my scren resolution? have an amd 5350 kabini radeon r3 apu [12:37] krizoek_: ctrl + r [12:38] trijntje i have been using it to backup my system... i create dist-iso images of my system [12:38] h3r1: remastersys is no backup tool. === enigma is now known as yes1 [12:39] bekks, i jcreate an istaller iso for the case that i have to reinstall everything abck again... [12:39] h3r1: you can use dd or clonezilla to create iso images of your system. However, that wastes a lot of space, why don't you just make a backup of all files and folders in your personal folder? [12:40] that way you just reinstall ubuntu, and copy your files over from the backup [12:40] h3r1: Which doesnt make remastersys being a backup tool. It is a live cd remastering tool. [12:40] hello [12:40] what's up people? [12:40] trijntje i don't use it to backup my files, i just create an iso image of the currently installed operating-system [12:41] !ot | plavi_zmaj [12:41] plavi_zmaj: #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! [12:41] bekks well that's just semantics... i would like to install it to remaster my system [12:42] h3r1: I know that, you can use dd or clonezilla for that if you really want [12:42] h3r1 http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [12:42] I just think its a weird way to make a backup of essentially just your files, since you can always install ubuntu again [12:42] h3r1: I guess you just want backups. [12:43] h3r1 note: note supported post-precise [12:43] trijntje thx are they similar to remastersys? as i realized before, i am searching for a remastering tool and not for a backup tool [12:44] h3r1: no, dd and clonezilla can be used to create a backup of your system that you can restore. They do not generate an installable image with all your files on it [12:44] hi [12:44] anyone can help me [12:45] !ask|dukeraj [12:45] dukeraj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:45] I was trying to install ubuntu 14 desktop - 32 bit, then there is some error while installing it [12:45] dukeraj: Which error? [12:46] whats a better ssh management tool than putty? [12:46] i think the iso file is corrupted because i tried in virtual machine, similar error, i am not sure, the installation closed [12:46] dukeraj: Without a specific error, all these are just assumptions. [12:46] dukeraj: hold the shift key during boot and select 'check cd for defects' [12:47] !md5sum| dukeraj verify the ISO then verify the bootable USB/CD [12:47] dukeraj verify the ISO then verify the bootable USB/CD: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:47] nadav: openssh-client + an editor of your choice to setup ~/.ssh/config [12:48] when i try to install ubuntu again, i could find ubuntu is already installed along with my windows xp, i am really confused, when i restart it boot into windows xp [12:48] oh wait. i fixed the overscan issue myself. i actually had amdccc installed. it just doesnt display an icon in taskbar [12:48] does anybody know how to fix the following? The following packages have unmet dependencies: plymouth-x11 : Depends: libplymouth2 (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed Depends: plymouth (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [12:49] dukeraj: that means the installation failed late in the process, when most files were already written to the harddisk. Check the cd for defects and try installing again if there are no errors [12:49] i use usb stick [12:49] h3r1: Yo have been told multiple times on how to fix it. Do you actually listen to advises? [12:49] h3r1: It isnt supported on your system anymore, and ou have to manually compile it if you want to use it. [12:50] dukeraj: then check the usb stick for defects ;) [12:50] can i change the bevahior for double click in a titlebar? [12:51] i want to minimize that way [12:55] why is the unity launcher and app bars in front of fullscreen windowed games? it's impossible to play because of this shit [12:55] slikts_: because a game is not fullscreen if its windowed? [12:56] trijntje: it's supposed to be in front anyway [12:56] the MD5 check sums are different, my iso is corruped [12:56] how now? [12:56] trijntje: it's called borderless windowed mode [12:56] dukeraj: Download the ISO again. [12:56] slikts_: no it isn't. Just play the game in fullscreen mode if you want fullscreen mode [12:56] dukeraj, redownload would be my guess :) [12:56] dukeraj delete those bad iso. torrent the iso from ubuntu [12:57] trijntje: yes it is you stupid noob [12:57] !language | slikts_ [12:57] slikts_: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [12:57] trijntje: you have no clue what you're talking about [12:57] slikts_ no insults, no names and check the attitutde [12:57] ubuntu 14 desktop 32 bit, i download from alternative download from official site, is there any other download source?

[12:59] dukeraj, xyou have no other choice than to redownload [12:59] i think i want to go for mint now....since ubuntu giving prob [12:59] dukeraj your choice. [12:59] slikts_: all windows keep the top and left bar visible, and in the latest ubuntu none of the windows have borders. [12:59] hello everyone I have been using ubuntu for 2 years and last week ubuntu got problems with not opening skype at all [12:59] dukeraj: hopefully your mint iso download will not be corrupted. :> [13:00] also qt applications fail on copy/paste keys [13:00] trijntje: it actually works… sometimes, but now it suddenly stopped working [13:00] bekks, he probably goes windows then := [13:00] trijntje: and non-maximized windows have borders [13:00] dekatch: Hopefully. [13:01] can somebody help find a problem [13:01] trijntje: also things like video players or browsers in fullscreen also aren't proper fullscreen [13:01] skype works on virtual machine [13:01] where I run it on xubuntu [13:01] but btw. linux mint. installed the latest version yesterday. v16. wasnt able to install fglrx.. [13:01] trijntje: but are in front anyway [13:01] slikts_: I dont know what that page is about, but it says that what you are trying to do is buggy, messy, and no longer supported [13:01] anybody can read [13:01] there were non available on mint. [13:01] hey guys how come latest ubuntu is not picking up devices? I see that bluez is installed, i also installed blueman packages. Nothing seems to spot my headphones [13:01] what I just wrote [13:01] ? [13:01] ronaldsmazitis: its in the partner repo, or grab the deb from skype website [13:01] trijntje: no, you have NO CLUE what you're talking about. try pressing F11 in a browser, it's supposed to be in front too, so this behavior from unity is BUGGED [13:02] ActionParsnip I have it installed [13:02] it doesn't work suddenly [13:02] ronaldsmazitis: ok are you using Unity shell? [13:02] just as qt apps fial to start [13:02] etc [13:02] slikts_: f11 works for me, and I'm bored of being insulted by you. Good luck figuring out whats wrong [13:02] slikts_: Nope. F11 is fullscreen, not "fullscreen and modal on top of everything else". [13:02] qt creator designer doesn't starts at all [13:02] which ubuntu desktop 32bit is best ? [13:02] basiclaser: if you run: sudo iwlist scan ,do you detect the headphones? [13:03] I'm on ubuntu unity [13:03] dukeraj: The one that you like the most. [13:03] dukeraj matter of opinion [13:03] 12.04 LTS [13:03] i am new [13:03] bekks: but that ALSO doesn't work for me, browser in F11 and videos are under the unity crap [13:03] ronaldsmazitis: if you run it from terminal. Do you get any useful output? [13:03] Aborted. [13:03] i think i will go for version 12.04 [13:03] I reinstalled it several times [13:03] dukeraj: Just use 14.04 [13:03] ActionParsnip: nah nothing intelligable [13:03] dukeraj, 12.04 here works fine for me :) [13:03] deleted configurations, and etc [13:03] nothing helps [13:03] Why not 14.04? [13:04] with amd 5350 kabini + radeon r3 apu [13:04] how about backtrack linux, did u guys use that ? [13:04] this hardware was releaed april/2014 [13:04] basiclaser: then i'd start by checking bluetooth works with other devices to verify its working ok [13:04] last month [13:04] dukeraj not supported here. [13:04] mp3, video, 3d accel. amdccc all is working [13:04] dukeraj: that is supported in #backtrack-linux [13:04] bekks, trijntje: the point is that there are more kinds of fullscreen than just the typical exclusive fullscreen [13:04] dukeraj if you really want to learn linux choose a distro and stick with it! [13:04] ok [13:04] cuyotte: Precise is rock solid and mature :-) [13:05] ActionParsnip: and if one has no other such devices? [13:05] KDE apps get segmentation fault [13:05] typically game fullscreen is exclusive, and borderless windowed is fullscreen as well, just not exclusive [13:05] WHY [13:05] and browser f11 and video fullscreen isn't exclusive either [13:05] basiclaser: not got a mobile phone with bluetooth? === slikts_ is now known as slikts [13:05] how it comes anyway that ubuntu 12.04 upgraded from ubunutu 11livecd supports all that stuff but linuxmint v16 doesnt? [13:05] I haven't installed nothing, as this Ubuntu 12.04 was working for long time [13:05] ronaldsmazitis: so when youbrun skype in terminal it just says 'aborted'? [13:06] ok what do i do after i got new .iso , what do i do with the corrupted installed ubuntu 14, its there? [13:06] it's just a yet another instance in an endless stream of unity bugs [13:06] ActionParsnip, YES, you ask questions without any usable answers [13:06] dekatch: its a different distro so will behave differntly [13:06] dukeraj if it's corrupted DELETE [13:06] HI [13:06] slikrs, so file a bug if you think there is one === anonymous is now known as Guest16786 [13:07] ronaldsmazitis: i cant see your system and you havent told us much so i need to ask questions about the system dont i? [13:07] ogramobile: there obviously is one, but I have no idea how to replicate it [13:07] ActionParsnip, yea. but afaik mint is based on ubuntu [13:07] K3B, qt designer, qt creator all GET segmentation fault. [13:07] so [13:07] ronaldsmazitis: i have no idea what you have tried or anything, do I [13:07] ActionParsnip, I told everything [13:07] ogramobile: and I'll bet that it's been known since a long time ago [13:07] !md5sum|dukeraj as far as an installed OS, verify 1. the ISO you downloaded and 2. the BOOT USB/CD. then install. [13:07] dukeraj as far as an installed OS, verify 1. the ISO you downloaded and 2. the BOOT USB/CD. then install.: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:07] the very basics should work [13:07] ronaldsmazitis: then i need more info or i wouldnt be asking, would In [13:08] ronaldsmazitis: why the attitude? [13:08] ogramobile: I was right — it's been known about for years [13:08] ActionParsnip, I have i5 INTEL, hd 3000, ubuntu 12.04 LTS, running unity [13:08] what would you do if you would loose connection with other people [13:08] dekatch: depends on the distro. Some hardware wont run in Windows but run in Linux. This is also basics. [13:09] + couldn't BURN dvdS OR design QT apps [13:09] ywell. but i am happy that it installed everything flawlessly. [13:09] slikts, whats the bug number on launchpad ? [13:10] I haven't installed nothing when these problems appeared [13:10] torrent is so slow [13:10] I don't want to reinstall everything as my files are value [13:10] ogramobile: didn't find it in launchpad yet, just random forum threads [13:10] ronaldsmazitis: do you have backup? [13:10] ActionParsnip, can i change some of the UI default behavior? [13:10] 1/2 kB/s === sburjan` is now known as sburjan [13:10] dekatch: from what to what? [13:10] i want to miminize application windows with a double click on titlebar [13:11] ActionParsnip, I have no idea where my 500 gb [13:11] and also i want to minimize applications when i click the icon again in appbar [13:11] are used by ubuntu [13:11] dekatch: that is a compiz setting if you use compiz [13:11] my backup would be 100 gb [13:11] sliktss, hiw can it be "known for years" if developers didnt get notified about it on the bugtracker ? [13:11] which is alot [13:11] ActionParsnip, is that a package i can install? [13:12] no help on skype [13:12] still [13:12] do I have to call microsoft [13:12] ogramobile: it's probably in launchpad, I just haven't found it yet [13:12] on this one [13:12] ronaldsmazitis: but have you got a backup copy of your 'important' data on a removable drive, like a USB storage or clioud storage? [13:12] ActionParsnip: yeh ok i guess its not working then. It says bluetooth is on, and searching for devices, but does not detect my visible phone or headphones [13:12] dekatch: unity-tweak i believe, or compizconfig-settings-manager [13:12] ActionParsnip, WHY you give such questions , I don't want to reinstall or something, my system was perfect [13:13] license ended or something, or what [13:13] ? [13:13] ronaldsmazitis: its a simple question, you say your data is important [13:13] whatever, why qt apps crash [13:13] well. compiz is installed [13:13] hi currently I am using 12.4 lts how do I upgrade to 14.4 lts..? [13:13] ronaldsmazitis: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove skype*; sudo apt-get --purge aurltoremove [13:14] KDE crash handler closed unexpectedly [13:14] me-1: apt-get dist-upgrade and pray ^___^ [13:14] hello [13:14] I tried to save the report for my error report [13:14] hello [13:14] inception of errors [13:14] me-1: sudo do-release-upgrade -d ,should do it. You will be automatically offered it in June when 14.04.1 is released [13:15] slikts, ActionParsnip do i need to upgrade and update before that [13:15] E: Invalid operation aurltoremove [13:15] ronaldsmazitis: once skype is fully out, delete the skype config folder in $HOME or $HOME/.config [13:15] I did that [13:15] like 5 times [13:15] !pm > Krishnamurti [13:15] Krishnamurti, please see my private message [13:16] I am no noob to ubuntu, cause I know where those configs are stored, I have no idea why KDE apps and skype keeps crashing [13:16] me-1: no its no needed, you can even upgrade by booting to the 14.04 install CD [13:16] ronaldsmazitis: after completely removing skype and deps? [13:16] nothing helps [13:16] ronaldsmazitis: how did you install skype? [13:17] 2 years ago [13:17] package [13:17] ActionParsnip, what about the apps I have already installed [13:17] why on earth it would stop working [13:17] ronaldsmazitis: yes its _always_ in a package. Is it from the Ubuntu repos or from the skype website? [13:17] one that was working [13:17] Me-1: those will be updated [13:18] for long time [13:18] ronaldsmazitis: if you can answer that you wil fix all software questions ever [13:18] ronaldsmazitis: how did you install skype? [13:18] debian package on skype.com [13:18] wow thanks ActionParsnip . that compizconfig tool offers alot. have to figure somezhing out now :) thanks brb [13:19] WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ANY CHANCE I INSTALL IT IT DOESn't work by now [13:19] ++ qt designer, creator + k3b [13:19] and most kde apps [13:19] suddenly errors [13:19] ronaldsmazitis: ok then try using the version from the Ubuntu repos. Its in the partner repo. You will need to run: sudo apt-get clean ,so that old debs are not used [13:20] ronaldsmazitis: because there are two ways to install it, so trying the other way is intelligent, yes? [13:20] http://pastebin.com/PWmK4jzZ [13:20] ronaldsmazitis,why not look for skype in the software center? [13:20] what repo [13:20] ? [13:20] ronaldsmazitis: the partner repo, second time [13:20] do I have to gradually know what is url of it [13:21] partner repo could be any [13:21] !partner | ronaldsmazitis [13:21] ronaldsmazitis: 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" » [13:21] ronaldsmazitis: I told you twice yesterday I believe [13:21] ronaldsmazitis: no its the partner repo. Its been in ubuntu forever [13:21] ronaldsmazitis: and that apt-get-thing is called "autoremove", not aurltoremove [13:21] ronaldsmazitis: as you are not a new ubuntu user i thought you'd know that [13:21] ronaldsmazitis might be a good time for a coffee break - or anap [13:22] I might not have these problems at all if not mistery [13:22] ronaldsmazitis: also run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [13:22] ronaldsmazitis: its a proprietary application so who knows. [13:22] 0 modernizētas, 0 instalētas no jauna, 0 tiks noņemtas un 0 netiks modernizētas. [13:23] nothing happened [13:23] ronaldsmazitis: you can enable the partner repo by uncommenting the line starting with 'deb' and says 'partner' on it in /etc/apt/sources.list === [O]UltimateNate is now known as UltimateNate [13:24] ronaldsmazitis: then save the new file and run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install skype [13:24] how do I fix kde apps [13:24] from segmentation faulting [13:24] how do I turn off mouse acceleration in 14.04 ? [13:24] those also suddenly fails [13:24] ronaldsmazitis: it will then download from ubuntu's partner repo (the only one that exists) and install it and all its deps === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [13:25] ronaldsmazitis: if you install another desktop like lxde or xfce and run it there, is it ok? === WolfLambert is now known as WLM|weg [13:26] hi all [13:27] ronaldsmazitis: where do you get that "partner repo could be any"? [13:27] whatever [13:27] installing from that repo [13:28] hi [13:28] ronaldsmazitis: so it couldnt be just any could it. Its the partner repo. [13:28] ronaldsmazitis: just like the universe repo is the universe repo [13:28] is there anybody using ThinkPad laptop and ubuntu ? [13:28] OK I installed === UltimateNate is now known as Th3U1timat3 [13:28] it doesn't launches [13:28] I'm f****** [13:29] ronaldsmazitis: ok try in xfce or lxde, see if its ok there [13:29] ronaldsmazitis: maybe its a kde thing [13:29] kde or unity? [13:29] ronaldsmazitis: unity isnt a desktop, its a shell === sburjan` is now known as sburjan [13:30] which one is better ? to install ubuntu over windows via wubi.exe or install it into seperated partition via multi boot ? [13:30] zubuntu: wubi hasnt been developed for two years [13:30] zubuntu: avoid [13:30] hmm then i should install to another partiton [13:30] i have 2gb ram and 250 gb harddisk [13:31] zubuntu: resize ntfs in windows then chkdsk it, then install to the freed space [13:31] how much space should i give for swap area ? [13:31] zubuntu wubi is for testing. TESTING = not a real installation solution [13:31] !vm | zubuntu [13:31] zubuntu: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [13:31] i tried vm [13:31] zubuntu: 2.2Gb for swap as you have 2Gb RAM [13:31] better to use multi boot [13:31] ActionParsnip ok then [13:32] is there anybody using thinkpad laptops here ? [13:32] i newly purchased my laptop and it has preinstalled windows [13:32] zubuntu, agreed, dual booting is less troublesome IME [13:32] if i format everything will go [13:32] zubuntu: for less than 2Gb RAM use double size for swap, 2Gb RAM or more use the same amount of swap as RAM. I use 1.1x [13:32] ActionParsnip so i will creat 2.2 or not ? [13:33] zubuntu: lots of people use thinkpads with Ubuntu [13:33] can u tell it in megabytes pls ? [13:33] zubuntu small ram: I suggest lubuntu or xubuntu [13:33] cfhowlett_ i prefer native ubuntu [13:33] can't understand function of swap and why i need do it twise as ram. [13:33] zubuntu unity is a resource hog - your choice [13:33] Zubuntu: 2252Mb [13:33] !swap > loa [13:33] loa, please see my private message [13:33] always when pc start using swap it become unusable [13:33] loa i experienced that if u dont create swap partition ubuntu doesnt work stable [13:33] zubuntu: does your OS not have a calculator or something? [13:34] for what reason then swap i needed. [13:34] ActionParsnip :p [13:34] thx dude [13:34] zubuntu, dunno about swap, but on server there no swap at all and he is working non stop for years. [13:34] about ubuntu * [13:34] hm [13:34] desktop * [13:35] Loa: When RAM fills your system will take data from RAM and put it in swap. Then when data in swap is needed it will switch it with data in RAM. Its like the pagefile in Windows [13:35] KDE applications get segmentation fault [13:35] and skype doesn't works [13:35] help me [13:35] if you need your swap often youd better upgrade your memory [13:35] Loa: its why your drive goes crazy when you run lots of apps [13:35] ActionParsnip, i understand for what swap used for, [13:35] ronaldsmazitis: does it run in lxde? [13:35] and when you use SSD then swap destroys it fairly quickly [13:35] no [13:36] ronaldsmazitis: sounds like a bug then [13:36] which one do u suggest ? ubuntu 12.04 lts or 14.04 lts ? [13:36] roel, thats not true [13:36] my system got f**** without notice [13:36] i am about totally unsuble system when you run out totally phisical ram and become using swap. [13:36] I didn't install anything [13:36] ronaldsmazitis: updates can do that. Calm down [13:36] ronaldsmazitis: you must have, or another admin user [13:36] dont worry about swap. if you cant use an SSD like any hard drive, then whats the point? [13:36] I hate this situation [13:36] I am the overlord here [13:37] ronaldsmazitis: where? [13:37] planet earth [13:37] whatever [13:37] ronaldsmazitis: if you say so, billions would disagree [13:37] i will upgrade to 8gb ram and SSD later :S [13:37] compdoc, can you rephrase your point, i don't get it. [13:37] i need some money for that :S [13:38] didn't get it * [13:38] ActionParsnip, I would say, don't write if you can't help [13:38] zubuntu: ram is super cheap [13:38] !ot [13:38] #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! [13:38] ActionParsnip it s about 90 $ [13:38] ronaldsmazitis: i suggest you report a bug [13:38] 4 gb [13:38] lets move on guys [13:38] and 8gb about 180 $ [13:38] KDE crash report crashes [13:38] zubuntu: ok and one weekends crazy drinking costs...? [13:38] reporting bug for such wicked bug [13:38] ronaldsmazitis: use the CLI method then. [13:38] ram is cheap but SSD is still expensive to me [13:39] ronaldsmazitis: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [13:39] ubuntu sucks [13:39] again [13:39] additionally calculate exchange :p [13:39] !language | ronaldsmazitis [13:39] ronaldsmazitis: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [13:39] ronaldsmazitis: dont use it then [13:39] like once half year something stupid happens [13:39] with my pc [13:39] ActionParsnip which one is more stable 12.04 lts or 14.04 lts ? [13:39] ronaldsmazitis: never had an issue with skype [13:39] I don't want to loose files filmed with 900 dollar worth camera [13:39] zubuntu: 12.04 is much more stable [13:40] i wanna try 14.04 [13:40] Ubuntu always bring issues [13:40] ronaldsmazitis: what does skype have to do with images? [13:40] zubuntu: then use it [13:40] system trashed by itself [13:40] thanks ubuntu [13:40] ronaldsmazitis: reinstall and restore data from backup. Easy days [13:41] ronaldsmazitis: still not given the output of the command i gave [13:41] ActionParsnip, buy me memmory [13:41] nothing is showing there or you want miracle [13:41] ronaldsmazitis: sure i'll send you a few 32Mb EDO SIMMs :-) [13:42] ronaldsmazitis: again, reinstall and restore data from backup [13:42] damn , mysql server, my web setup [13:42] all [13:42] of my [13:42] god damn files [13:42] this is messy [13:42] ubuntu suuuuuuucks [13:42] whatever [13:43] This is why we have backup [13:43] ronaldsmazitis: if ubuntu sucks, dont use it if you like. [13:43] I wish I could switch without loosing something [13:43] always [13:43] ronaldsmazitis: so you dont have baclup? [13:43] always looses [13:44] hate [13:44] hate [13:44] hate [13:44] i try open software-properties but error happend ,see this:http://bpaste.net/show/258504/ [13:44] +++ [13:44] because I can't [13:44] ronaldsmazitis: why do you not have backup if your data is sooooo important? [13:44] once damn account got locked [13:44] couldn't backup because data was crypted [13:44] now again [13:44] ronaldsmazitis: and you can afford a 900$ camera but not a 100$ USB backuo drive.... [13:44] this is messs [13:44] trolling, ranting etc go somewhere else pls , this is support [13:44] not mine [13:44] ronaldsmazitis: dont you think its hilarious [13:45] hell with you [13:45] ronaldsmazitis: no backup = data is disposable [13:45] ^ [13:45] ronaldsmazitis: what if the drive motor or IDE failed. Where is your data? [13:45] !ot [13:45] #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! [13:46] . . . . . [13:46] ronaldsmazitis: Let's be a bit rational here. Just tell us your problem (as in what happened), and we'll see what we can do [13:46] I severely doubt it's broken to the point it's irrecoverable [13:47] skype is Aborting. [13:47] Unless you have a hardware problem [13:47] kde apps are segmenting failing [13:47] I have one DVD [13:47] ronaldsmazitis: go do what you should have done ages agao. Buy a USB drive and boot to live CD. You can then access your data and put it on the USB. This is what is called a 'backup' you can then reinstall and reinstate the data. This is called a 'restore' [13:47] I will take movie files and system can go it's wat [13:47] way* === AAchi||es is now known as zubuntu [13:47] ronaldsmazitis: Sounds like a bad install [13:47] Using Ubuntu 14.04 I have a password set on my user but I can logon to desktop without a password. How do I enable password? [13:47] I use it for long time [13:47] Install a fresh copy over your current copy [13:47] ronaldsmazitis: And if you hate ubuntu so much, you should try out a different distro. Debian likes to boast with stability, so you might try that [13:48] ronaldsmazitis: doesnt matter [13:48] It should take care of problems. [13:48] ubuntu sucks to have issues for no reason [13:48] ronaldsmazitis: Most problems are user error... [13:48] It was working until one momment [13:48] ronaldsmazitis: not worked in IT have you [13:48] like what? [13:48] ronaldsmazitis: Were you doing anything when the issues cropped up? [13:48] how can f skype quit for reason? [13:48] Anything in particular? [13:48] nothing [13:48] ronaldsmazitis: Ask Microsoft, they develop Skype [13:48] i DID [13:48] Skype on Linux has a bad history for stability [13:48] twitter [13:49] You can't really blame Ubuntu for that. [13:49] why [13:49] ronaldsmazitis: you can connect to skype using pidgin but text only [13:49] uvbuntu 14.04 for some reason the tab autocomplete/list doesn't work in my terminal.... [13:49] kde apps segmenting fault [13:49] for no reason [13:49] ronaldsmazitis: Can you send us an error log? [13:49] damn. ubuntu 12.04 is bought for now... ill stick to it till there are more drivers for my hardware avail.- everything works for now [13:49] I did nothign [13:49] If they segfault, you should have a "Report a Bug" dialog appear [13:49] no KDE error report crashes [13:49] ronaldsmazitis: is the ram healthy? [13:49] aswell [13:49] Report said bug [13:49] Done. [13:49] ronaldsmazitis: That might be filesystem corruption, we had such case yesterday, reinstalling the corrupt packages helped the person [13:49] Actually, that's a good idea [13:49] could you recommend me a tool to connect my samsung note 3? is there even a kies version? [13:49] Run memtest-x86 [13:50] ronaldsmazitis: you can test ram using memtest in Grub [13:50] Restart while holding SHIFT, then select memtest-x86 with your arrow keys and hit enter [13:50] ok [13:50] how much space for windows and ubuntu do u suggest for 250 gb harddisk ? [13:50] zubuntu: 125/125 [13:50] :) [13:50] ronaldsmazitis: hold SHIFT at boot and Grub will show [13:50] zubuntu, 60GB for windows [13:50] lol dekatch [13:50] zubuntu: Depends on what you use each for, actually [13:50] dekatch: a recent version of ubuntu should have not problems using mtp for android devices [13:50] maybe 10 gb ? :p [13:51] alfonsojon windows will be for office and games [13:51] zubuntu: Then give it around 65-70% [13:51] zubuntu: the minimum for ubuntu is 8 Gb, but then you'll have to keep your data somewhere else, and don't install too many big programs [13:51] hm [13:51] zubuntu: Give Windows around 175 [13:51] And Ubuntu 75 [13:51] i see [13:51] xangua, i am on 12.04 [13:51] I'm sadly on Windows and stuck to it [13:51] thx alfonsojon [13:51] zubuntu: my desktop OS is 4Gb used of 8Gb without /opt or swap or /home [13:51] zubuntu: No problem. [13:51] why alfonsojon ? [13:52] I have a 360GB hard drive [13:52] And it's mostly full [13:52] hm [13:52] I have no room for Ubuntu and no second hard drive. [13:52] u can use external hdd [13:52] bad [13:52] "and no second hard drive." [13:52] If I had one, I would use one [13:52] dekatch: then upgrade to a more recent version or try this (it worked for me when I was on precise) http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/upgrade-to-gvfs-with-mtp-support-in.html [13:52] alfonsojon: cleared the temp files out fully? [13:52] i wouldnt use windows but games and office needs it :S [13:52] ActionParsnip: CCleaned to crap [13:52] I have around 50-something GB free [13:52] I give Windows at least 32GB of head room, cause y'know [13:52] Windows [13:53] zubuntu: office 365 runs in web browser :-) [13:53] Google Docs > Office [13:53] guys, lets stick to ubuntu support plz [13:53] Sorry lotus [13:53] xangua, i am so happy that everything is working. i am feared of upgrading and lose 3d accel and such [13:53] Someone knows a good alternative to OS X's Garageband? [13:53] WLM|weg: Audacity [13:53] I know Audacity [13:53] That's not really an alternative [13:53] But it's still good [13:53] But does that have the built-in instruments? [13:54] xangua, had linuxmint v16 installed yesterday. there nothing worked. no drivers avail [13:54] Hmm... [13:54] Well, that's not currently possible, BUT [13:54] I can mix using Audacity, but I'd like to create music with it, like with instruments [13:54] And I haven't got a real keyboard [13:54] There's always this [13:54] http://www.darlinghq.org/ [13:55] Not currently working, but it's a good idea to keep an eye on it [13:55] It's basically Wine, but for Darwin instead of Microsoft NT. [13:55] = run OS X apps on Linux [13:55] I found it two minutes ago. I was excited until I saw "At this point, it is unlikely that Darling will run your favorite OS X application." [13:55] The day GarageBand works in that, your problem is solved [13:55] Until then, fingers crossed. [13:55] Well it doesn't need to be an exact copy of GarageBand though, just something that's able to do the same thing [13:56] xangua, bookmarked the page. thanks [13:56] WLM|weg: I'll crawl the internet in search for something of the like [13:56] WLM|weg: I'll let you know if I find anything [13:56] Okay, thanks!

[13:57] Not sure if you'll like that program, but it seems to get the job done. [13:58] WLM|weg: There's also the other route of buying a Mac [13:58] You can pick up a good Power Mac G5 on eBay for around $100 [13:58] They're still good, although you'll be on an outdated architecture. [13:59] I have a Power Mac G4 that I bought for $75 equipped with the iLife '09 suite, GarageBand included. [13:59] I can tell you it does work very well for the job, considering it's 11 years old. [13:59] I can also tell you that Kubuntu also runs quite well on this Mac. [13:59] have anyone use bcloud? [13:59] Krishnamurti: Nope. [14:00] what irc clients do you guys use? the preinstalled xchat looks weird. font and such. are the good alternatives you guys could tell? [14:00] does anyone have any suggestions for a fast-booting ubuntu based distro for a decently old netbook? (1 GB RAM) with a gui? [14:00] I have a Samsung 710N monitor of 17 inch. Its optimal resolution is 1280 x 1080 at 60 Hz. [14:00] I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my laptop. [14:00] I want to use only the Samsung monitor as an external monitor and I want laptop's screen be dark (turned off). [14:00] In Displays application I chose Mirror Displays: unchecked. Resolution: 1280 x 1080. Launcher placement: Samsung. Sticky edges: On. Rotation: Normal. [14:00] Questions: [14:00] I can't find the frequency anywhere in Displays. How can I be sure that Ubuntu chose 60 Hz, the correct frequency for my monitor? (My laptop supports the optimal resolution and 60 Hz frequency of the monitor). [14:00] epsilon 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 [14:00] Odd0002: Elementary OS [14:00] alfonsojon: does it have the ubuntu repos? [14:00] Yep. [14:01] It's based on 12.04 at the moment, however [14:01] It's very stable though. [14:01] oh [14:01] epsilon: I believe it should be using the correct frequency automatically [14:01] I want one that I won't have to reinstall for a long time... [14:01] Krishnamurti: What do you mean? [14:01] Odd0002: It's stable, I can tell you that.

[14:03] Odd0002: xpud boots superfast but is not ubuntu based [14:03] my god ... this nautilus thing is so crap... how the hell do I move up folder when I'm in ssh connection? the left and right buttons just take me to my localmachine home folder. [14:03] but the network disconnects exactly 5 minutes after it connects, and I can't reconnect afterwords [14:03] Odd0002: minimal + openbox = my favourite [14:03] blah123: Try Dolpin, if you're not a fan of KDE, then try Pantheon Files [14:04] There's also PCManFM [14:04] And Thunar [14:04] guys, no joke. i spent 2hours yesterday on linuxmint channel. they really helped me out trying to get my hardware running. but it turned out that there is currently no driver avail. since my hardware was released 04/2014.. amd apu [14:04] ...and countless others. [14:04] ActionParsnip: I would use it, but I'm having all sorts of problems with networking (wireless). How do you do it?

[14:05] Turns out the driver didn't exist for Windows 7 and the Vista one was horribly broken [14:05] ActionParsnip: 1 sec, it's on another machine [14:06] alfonsojon, well, windows runs on it. but i wont afford another license [14:06] nevermind, jjust had to reconnect and it magically fixed itself [14:06] blah123: i use pcmanfm, kicks ass [14:06] ...there are ways [14:06] * alfonsojon is innocent [14:06] i want to use this nettop as a enery saving HTPC [14:06] energy* [14:06] There's always the i3-4130T [14:06] It's a great CPU with a TDP of only 35W [14:07] what about ARM? [14:07] There's that route too [14:07] true. but i already bought the amd shit :) i know intel is better for linux [14:07] but luckily 12.04 does its job :P [14:09] ActionParsnip: pastebinit doesn't work with those commands...

[16:14] StupidDanbo: You have to figure out whats your USB and whats your disk. [16:14] how? [16:14] StupidDanbo: you might be able to use fdisk to check [16:15] I thought it was sdb. I thought I saw in some output that sdb was the usb device. [16:15] guys, anyone familiar with compiz? [16:15] fidsk -l ? I don't see anything that says USB. [16:16] karbofos: a bit. [16:16] bekks: you got an idea for me? [16:16] StupidDanbo: fdisk -l tells you the sizes, at least. Thats most likely sufficient to identify devices. [16:16] well obviously it wasn't, because I screwed it up. [16:17] StupidDanbo: Then you did not identify it correctly. [16:17] how do I identify it correctly? === meos is now known as cnj [16:17] compiz behaves laggy, on some windows close and minimize are visible but still unavailable, i.e. firefox, skype..

[16:19] StupidDanbo: Those commands are sufficient to identify devices correctly. [16:19] StupidDanbo: It will tell you the size, e.g., and it will tell you that you just plugged in that device after plugging it in.

I couldn't possibly get those numbers mixed up or misinterpreted, maybe getting the scale wrong. [16:20] or not actually knowing how big things are supposed to be. [16:21] so none of them will say "USB"? [16:21] StupidDanbo: No. [16:21] I coulda sworn I had it right. how do I make sure that after I THINK I'm right that I'm not wrong? [16:21] StupidDanbo: lshw might give you more info.. you should be able to see what usb port it is connected to and so on [16:21] StupidDanbo: By using the commands given and identifying your desired device.

All went well so far but I'm stuck now.

[16:39] bekks, don't all those backups require me to have done them before I lost the partition? [16:39] bekks: where do I do that? [16:39] StupidDanbo: Of course. File not being backed up qualifies them as not worth being kept. === jaywink_ is now known as jaywink [16:39] imdea: In your package manager, e.g. [16:40] bekks: How do I enable multiverse repo? [16:40] Hey i lost my partition once. I was able to get most of it back by running what was it? Testdisk or gpart from a live disc [16:40] bekks, the HDD WAS the backup. but I didn't keep them in two places. [16:41] imdea: What do you need that for? :) [16:41] why can;'t I ever do anything right. [16:41] StupidDanbo: So you still have one copy. [16:41] no. [16:41] the one copy was the one I overrote. [16:41] bekks: it seems that this apache package is available in that repository: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libapache2-mod-fastcgi [16:41] StupidDanbo: So it was no backup, but the production data.

[16:42] 'stupid RAID' lawl [16:43] In terms of backup, RAID actually is stupid. [16:43] bekks: why? I've read the opposite actually, plus it's better for high traffic sites. [16:43] then I wouldn't have to rely on my human brain to figure out which files I need to copy because there would be two of everything automatically. [16:43] StupidDanbo: Thats nonsense. [16:43] StupidDanbo: You should read up what RAID is, and how it works. Then you will know that a RAID is no backup at all. [16:44] I read about RAID. [16:44] imdea: Where did you read that? :) [16:44] StupidDanbo: Obviously either the wrong stuff or not enough. [16:45] you can set it up so that two drives mirror everything. [16:45] so that if one fails, you use the other one. [16:45] bekks: don't remember the link exactly... but why is it a nightmare in terms of security? [16:45] raid 1 is an excellent kind of backup [16:45] StupidDanbo: And if you overwrite files on one side, the are overwritten on the other side too. [16:45] ah fuck. you're right. [16:45] compdoc: After splitting the mirror and putting one disk into the shelf. [16:46] there's no way to win. [16:46] StupidDanbo: There is. Use backups.

[16:53] yeah. it gave an error when I tried to use "cat" to write the ISO, and I had no idea what the problem was. but it went ahead when I used "cp" instead. [16:53] ogra_, how do I know that? [16:53] redmaniac, well, are there separate sockets for mic and headphones ? [16:53] Ubuntu 14, NVIDIA GK106... what drivers should I use? a) NVIDIA ones, b) Ubuntu ones, c) proprietary ones? [16:53] ogra_ I assume it doesn, since I can manually make it work with PAUV [16:54] then it most likely is just a "stereo out" one [16:54] ogra_, my problem is that the switching is done incorrectly [16:54] I wish i knew what to do. I always make these mistakes. and I go "oh god, how do I stop doing this?" I can't rely on my mind to do it, because my mind keeps fucking it up like that. I need like a checklist or something. [16:54] StupidDanbo: Stop swearing please [16:54] redmaniac, sounds like a bug then, file it against pulseaudio ... [16:55] right.

Whats the drawback of using the ALT-F way? [17:09] squeakytoy2: up to you, but worth looking it up to sound if it's something you want, there's alternatives as well. first drawback I can think of with the alt-f keys is what happens when you want to do that remotely? also how many of those f windows do you have? [17:10] I still can't tell from the link provided on file recovery which program is best used for my purpose. I'm guessing only Gpart is good for this? [17:10] SchrodingersScat, i have multiple F-windows. and i am using digital ocean, so.. itsounds like its a good enough solution [17:10] SchrodingersScat, thanks [17:11] since it says it does it based on "guesses" and Testdisk seems to just be an alternative to GNU Parted... which don't describe anything complicated. but I'm not sure omission is sufficient information. === xBytez_ is now known as xBytez [17:19] could someone help me with a printer configuration?

[17:30] llutz: yes… but im going to run this like 1500 times [17:31] luist: have fun with checking :) [17:31] llutz: or maybe theres a way to force it to run in textmode… because it opens some UI to convert the file [17:31] luist: ask the guys in #libreoffice [17:31] oh, so basically it's like nearly 100% wear? [17:31] dahell lol [17:32] Armag3dd0n1: i'd read it that way. windows says 0% (more or less) lost, linux says 96% left [17:32] oh, wait. 96% wear left or it has 96% wear? :S [17:32] damn confusing lol [17:32] can I save text files from a live installation? I wanted to save notes on file recovery [17:32] Armag3dd0n1: capacity left [17:33] so 93% and 96% yay thank you :D [17:33] Hello [17:33] Hi [17:33] hello [17:34] maybe I can save it to a USB drive since I don't have permission to save to a HDD [17:35] oh good, that worked. phew. [17:38] O can anyone help me understand grub?S [17:39] so, when I upgraded to 14.04, there were some unresolved dependencies [17:39] bummer [17:40] how would I go about resolving them, it's rather annoying when every time I update, there are packages that it still fails ot install [17:40] uhg...anyone know how to get the startup disk creator to actually work? [17:40] I believe it only works with ubuntu ISOs, and derivatives. [17:40] I personally find that the only consistant way to make a startup disk [17:40] david1: xbmcbuntu [17:40] is by using dd [17:41] huh... IDK then. [17:41] try using DD to manually write the image to the partition [17:43] david1: got docs? [17:43] ? [17:43] trying unetbootin cause I like to be lame...but if that doesn't work I'll go the DD route [17:44] is it just dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdg1 [17:44] ? [17:44] don't I need some fancy MBR stuff? [17:44] yeah, just the command [17:44] v0lksman: you write it to a drive, not a partition, so of=/dev/sdX [17:44] Hello, I'm searchin for a program like "DDR pen drive recovery" for Linux. (Gparted sees the flash drive as unformated) [17:45] llutz: thanks. nothing else needed?

[17:46] or some other word starting with F [17:46] folicle? [17:46] :) [17:46] I always thought there was more needed to make the USB drive bootable... [17:47] if it's just a matter of extracting the ISO to the device that's too easy [17:47] is there a package for xdirectfb in ubuntu? [17:47] set it to a boot flag [17:47] using gparted [17:47] v0lksman: the iso just has to be a hybrid-iso (*buntu-iso are) [17:48] david1: you could also setthe boot flag with fdisk [17:48] llutz david1: if it's not you would dd to the device then use gparted to mark the partition as bootable? [17:48] and then no need for gparted [17:48] eh. I guess, never done that, should try that later. [17:49] !info xdirectfb [17:49] Package xdirectfb does not exist in trusty [17:49] david1: but if you are in gparted for some other reason , then just save a step and set it there [17:49] :-) [17:49] drewd likely it is not [17:50] Hello!

[18:56] xangua: i understand, will definitely do that.. but with pretty new netbook with 2gb ram which i bought just 1 year ago should this behavior be expected ? it seems like a bug to me.. [18:56] distrowatch [18:56] although i cant say linux would work more than once [18:56] cuz it usually breaks before i can run linux a second time Beldar [18:57] Beldar: i have 4 partitions on my hdd, sda1 has grub on it, sda2 has 14.04 (using sda3 as swap), and sda4 has a LUKS-encrypted set of two virtual disks (running a debian-based install with a custom kernel and a swap). both installs have sda1 mounted as boot. the problem is, the encrypted needs special options for grub for it to open the drive correctly, and it's trying to add those to the boot instructions for 14.04 too. [18:57] schmee: So what are you doing to "break" it? It doesnt magically break on its own. [18:57] schmee, Grub is on the sda HD in it's mbr put it first in the bios [18:57] xangua: it doesn't look it should be doing cosmic computations, it's just a software center, doesn't even have a nice GUI :) [18:57] kazbek, I know nothing about luks, so the channel will be better for details. ;) [18:58] Beldar: #grub then?

[18:59] ok, I'll try that. bekks, after bootrepair finishes, i reboot succesfully to the grub menu, boot into windows, reboot again, and grub loads into that rescue modes, saying it cant find some crazy long alphanumeric code, which i think links to my linux partition [19:00] schmee, The bootrepair app has a bootinfo summary button on it's opening gui, this run the script only, no repair, lets see it. [19:00] thank you Derheks and con had to move a desk but i am back [19:00] runs* [19:00] but i remember one of the times using boot repair and selecting "install grub on all drives" so maybe multiple instances messing with each other?

[19:08] Beldar, i installed lilo, but never did anything with it [19:08] !cookie [19:08] schmee: And either you want to install something "apt-get install..." OR you want to mount something "mount ...". [19:08] schmee: you cant use both in a single command. [19:08] whoever: that doesn't seem right.. I don't think it's a problem with awk but a problem with bash [19:08] I want a menu to pop up whenever I boot my PC, how do I do it? I have Windows 8.1 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as my native. I am using Ubuntu at the moment. [19:08] upload cookies [19:08] schmee, Heh, okay, well bekk's is a great help, best of luck. [19:09] Hello [19:10] please view this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7394534/ ; Why ubuntu start and then stop some service in system startup ? [19:10] Bekks, sorry, that was extra, but i did try sudo mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt and it geves me [19:10] mah454: Why not? Without that, you wouldnt even have network access. [19:10] i was trying to mount my linux partition but it gives me errors [19:10] Slart: so go to #bash ? [19:10] schmee: Then pastebin it. [19:11] mah454, when a job is done, it should be stopped, freeing resources [19:11] iam the only one whom uses this computer and want to login automatic [19:11] whoever: that's what I would do, not sure how active that channel is.. but give it a try [19:11] whoever: I can take a look at it if you can wait a minute or two [19:11] http://pastebin.com/qERXXEwm [19:12] is anyone in here familar with any cloud backup services for large amounts of data? looking for something that would be running on a headless server. crashplan was an option, but it requires java and their desktop client to be installed. backblaze doesn’t have any linux client. ideal scenario would be something that is CLI only [19:12] schmee: So read line 4. [19:12] but sdc3 should be ext4 right? [19:12] sudormrf_, owncloud? [19:12] bekks: why stop ? for example "Stopping Restore Sound Card State" [19:12] schmee: No, why? We dont know what your sdc3 is. [19:12] Beldar thanks abunch! [19:13] mah454: Because restauration is finished and can be stopped. [19:13] OerHeks: can’t afford the space. looking at more than 200gb of data. a VPS that would give me that much would cost ridiculous sums of money per month :S [19:13] well, its the same size as the partition i made and installed linux in, so i figured thats my linux partition. maybe its filesystem is damaged? [19:13] sudormrf_, we support ubuntu, not your choise of vendor [19:13] whoever: what is the script supposed to do? print out names of partitions? [19:14] OerHeks: yes I understand that. I was just asking if someone had experience with it as this would be running on ubuntu server. will go to OT === RYU is now known as Guest31777 [19:14] schmee: Pastebin "sudo blkid" please.

Either you mount a primary partition or a logical. An extended partition is just a container for up to 15 logical partitions. [19:21] Ah, I see. so i should have grub install on the partition that says linux, and not extended? I always thought that linux was installed on the partition i originally made for linux [19:22] schmee: installing grub to a partition will render you unbootable. [19:23] Question: can I install Linux on my external HDD using a VM? [19:23] can you help me ??? i need a good Blog Client (GTK) ??? [19:24] bekks, thanks for the help.

[19:26] ive looked at it, actually, its weird that i havent tried working within the bounds of grub to fix any issues. ive been using boot repair to purge and reinstall grub, which I thought would clear up any grub errors [19:26] what terminal app has the theme and font editor that pops out of the side of the emulator [19:26] rimal: How can I know that, since I dont know your exact error?

[19:29] mic problems might be the reason why I end up switching back to windows [19:29] it keeps getting disabled for no reason [19:29] Question: can I install Linux on my external HDD using a VM to simulate the live DVD on? [19:29] and now when I reenable, it doesn't work anyway [19:29] yes [19:29] (and by Linux I mean ubuntu of course) [19:29] How do I convert an .odt to .pdf? [19:29] i cant get my mic to work or split the audio to diffrent devices [19:29] Summer31: Just boot the live dvd, no need to simulate it. [19:30] Summer31: Print it to a PDF. [19:31] Summer31 on the install process on the page which has the option of earse and install or install along windows there is a option called other which allows the installation to a another drive is connected.

[19:31] none of the solutions i've found online work [19:31] Summer31: Then choose "Check CD" from the cd menu. [19:32] Beldar: what's wrong with complaining?

[19:34] bekks: something very googleable [19:35] slikts: Ah, so nothing important or respectable then. [19:35] i just read about mic, in control pannel it says mic volume is 100% but in terminal its set to 0% [19:35] bekks: no, that's you [19:35] slikts: just go to #ubuntu-offtopic and rant there... this channel is for support [19:35] slikts: Just talk to my kill file.

[19:38] I issue a challenge for anyone to tell me what could be turning my mic off [19:38] the reward is 5 dogecoins [19:38] yeah, but when reboot, it come back again, it hurts my eyes [19:39] Frag-O-Byte, some issues are solved by installing pavucontrol >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure#Step_6 [19:39] Random832, That bug seems easily fixed by reloading the mbr, in the first post here.

[19:41] who? where? [19:43] Random832, run just the bootinfo summary, no repair from this app, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair Than post the script at this thread the bootrepair apps developer. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917 [19:43] what's better: to google "x y comparison" or "x vs y"?

My disk is not big enough for this.. [19:50] Does grive work with symlinks? [19:51] foofoobar, never tested that [19:51] There are a few things that Grive does not do at the moment: - symbolic links support [19:51] so it does not :/ [19:51] Anyone know if a .deb file is coming out soon for elixir? [19:51] Random832, If you get that bootinfo summary run, I'm not much help with efi but would like to see it if you can.

[19:58] OerHeks, running a server with the space I need (~200GB) cost a lot more than buying this space from google/amazon/xyz === fl_0|afk is now known as fl_0 [19:59] Codmadnesspro, for detailed package search, install synaptic [19:59] foofoobar, so you have 200 gb in gdrive? [19:59] OerHeks, yes [20:00] 1TB = 10$ [20:00] Is that the pacakge name? [20:00] apt-get install synaptic? [20:00] Codmadnesspro correct [20:02] mikey__, We don't know when a third party will make a deb, however there is source tars available. [20:04] buntu [20:08] so I have a client using ubuntu 12.04 with a hp laserjet 1020, and he has to plug and replug the usb cord in order to get connectivity occasionally. any ideas? [20:09] (this has happened to me with other devices on mac os x before.) [20:09] OerHeks, symlinks work with grive! awesome [20:10] there is any channel for ubuntu app developer ? [20:10] hey, what software can I use to model furniture? [20:11] Beldar: Thank you. So if someone else put one together, perhaps it would be an interesting candidate? [20:12] juboba: blender is the only thing that comes to mind.. it won't make it easy for you but it might work [20:13] juboba: there are some CAD variants as well.. [20:13] What's a short and easy bash script for grepping results from 'du -h' only if item size is greater than a certain amount? [20:13] ErvisTusha: #ubuntu-app-devel [20:13] foofoobar, noted, thanks! [20:14] rww, thank you [20:14] skinux: there is a -t switch for du.. have a look [20:14] Slart: I was trying SweetHome [20:15] but it is intended for modeling houses [20:16] juboba: mm.. there are probably other web/java-apps out there.. I don't know of anything specific though.. I don't think blender is what you're really looking for [20:16] zHmm.... [20:17] I think my best option is to increase size of Ubuntu partition, taking another 5-10G from Windows. [20:17] How do i use synaptic? [20:18] Codmadnesspro: synaptic the package manager? or synaptic the mouse pad thingy? [20:18] package manager === xubuntu is now known as Guest96 [20:18] Slart: The latter is synaptics with a trailing s. === izaya is now known as Izaya [20:19] bekks: well, what do you know.. never noticed that =) [20:19] bekks: next your telling me Linux Torvalds didn't write the kernel ;) [20:19] you're [20:20] So wait if im on the software centre and i like a application how do i know the package name in terminal? [20:20] Codmadnesspro: it should be a gui program.. start it and it will fetch package lists.. you can search for packages and so on.. it's not that hard [20:20] Slart: I have non clue what you are talking about - synaptic is a package manager, synaptics is a touchpad software. [20:21] im having trouble with lightdm on trusty , i installed via netinstall iso , then installed lightdm with apt-get install lightdm --no-install-recommends , now it refuses to start , i can run startx to run the session [20:21] The software centre dosnt work for me [20:21] :P [20:21] bekks: never mind, just me being stupid.. thanks. I've never noticed the extra 's' before [20:22] For some reason when i click install it says installing for 1 second and then changed back to free and it installed nothing :/ [20:22] * OerHeks ends up typing synaptics in synaptic [20:23] Codmadnesspro, you never waited for the password request? [20:23] Codmadnesspro: I actually don't know how to get the package name in the software center.. you can use apt-cache search someprogram to search in the terminal.. that will show you package names [20:25] Codmadnesspro: actually.. if you press the "more info" button in the software center and check the Version field.. I think the first part there is the package name [20:26] 2 days and I still haven't figured out how to get samba and permissions to work in Ubuntu. I'll try my luck with CentOS tomorrow though I doubt that it'll help. [20:27] when will be available mate desktop in ubuntu repos? [20:27] Shadow365: samba is a weird beast.. I don't think it will be very different on other distros.. it's still samba [20:27] aguitel_: It is. [20:27] I know [20:27] bekks, no working [20:27] aguitel_: it is working in 14.10 only missing a few things [20:28] aguitel_: the theme is fixed now that mate-settings-daemon is working [20:28] trism, ok [20:28] Slart: Weid too. When I share a desktop directory it works without a hitch but when I try to share anything from my second drive (internal, ext4, automounted) it shows the folder but you can't open it [20:29] I've googled so much into it that whatever I enter related to samba into Google all the results are purple lol [20:29] hi all [20:29] trism, hurt is not in 14.04 lts [20:29] after a distrib update to 14.04, the ;otd.tail dosnt show up anymore .. Someone has a clue ? === YourBestFriend is now known as mozzarella [20:30] Shadow365: I wish I had good advice to give you.. but samba is one of those things I try to net mess with [20:31] *motd.tail xD [20:31] I have ubuntu installed currently, and I want to also install windows on a separate hdd for dual booting, what's the best approach for this? installing windows and then reinstalling grub? [20:31] Slart: The deal here is…we have 2 Macs in our office, 1 windows workstation and the rest are windows computers that need file sharing but only very small stuff. I considered just installing Windows server on the fucker and being done with it BUT for some stupid reason I thought that linux - mac might have some special protocol for sharing stuff instead of just samba again [20:31] DzAirmaX: 99-footer was dropped in 14.04 from /etc/update-motd.d/ [20:32] DzAirmaX: basically all it did is check if /etc/motd.tail is readable and cat it [20:32] back [20:32] For some reason when i click install it says installing for 1 second and then changed back to free and it installed nothing :/ [20:32] Cause I had Windows 7 running as the file server and it has to be restarted (the file sharing service) every time I want to share something [20:33] trism : so what do I do, I create a 99 again ? === andyfiedish is now known as andyfied [20:33] DzAirmaX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7394987/ that's what I came up with when someone mentioned it yesterday [20:33] Slart: How would you share files between windows and mac reliably ? (I also want to use the server for backups) [20:33] DzAirmaX: yep [20:33] Shadow365: what's wrong with samba? [20:33] anyone? [20:34] Codmadnesspro: Then try to install your desired package from a terminal. [20:35] slikts: I've had trouble with it before and I've been trying to set it up to work for 2 days on Ubuntu but that's probably due to me being a stupid fucker and not knowing how to workaround the issue I'm having as compared to a flaw in itself. [20:35] trism : thank for the help [20:35] For some reason I just can't get it to work on the second drive in my "server" [20:35] Shadow365: sounds like samba is your best option [20:35] Shadow365: what issue? [20:36] But how do i find out the package name bekks? [20:36] Codmadnesspro: Whats the software you want to install? === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] [20:36] its some kind of vpn software [20:36] ill get ful name [20:36] one second [20:36] Shrew Soft VPN Access Manager [20:36] slikts: When I try to share my second HDD it shows the directories just fine but I can't read or write to them [20:37] When I try to share something from the OS disk (Desktop) it works finež [20:37] Codmadnesspro: apt-cache search shrew [20:37] None of the answers I found online have helped any but there are obviously people having the same issues [20:38] Ok so what do i do now? [20:39] Codmadnesspro: The name of the package. [20:39] Oh i c [20:39] Wait does anyone know any good vpn managers that are simple to use? [20:39] Codmadnesspro: network manager. [20:40] Hey all. I am using a DigitalOcean droplet, but keyboard configuration is not being set to Swedish, even after dkpg-blab, bla. Long story short - I cannot do the pipe sign. Is there another way I can invoke that sign from a terminal? [20:41] I want a vpn that i just click on button and it gives me an ip :P [20:41] Like i can on windows [20:41] Codmadnesspro: Then configure that in network manager. [20:41] Something like cyber ghost [20:42] It says network manager is not running [20:42] Codmadnesspro: What is "it"? [20:42] ? [20:43] When i hover over network manager it says its not running [20:43] :/ [20:43] Codmadnesspro: So you did some changes to your system already. [20:43] Codmadnesspro: Start reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [20:43] Well its a vps [20:44] Hello. I am have replaced Gnome Keyring with Keychain and I am having a problem with my gpg key. Keychain starts ssh-agent and this is working fine, but gpg-agent does not seem to be working. I am reprompted for my passphrase every time I use it. [20:48] My cats somehow saved some urls to my task bar and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. [20:49] When i do apt-get install network-manager it says it installed already [20:49] is it better to use ext3 or ext4, filesystem's for Ubuntu? [20:50] Can I give a user permission to start/stop/restart a certain service? [20:50] rmyc: ext4 [20:50] stupid question but if i do a sudo gnome-terminal it opens a new terminal window as root like i want but leaves an unused terminal window open that i cant close or i lose my root terminal window does anyone know if there is a switch to tell terminal to open in another tab and not another window? [20:51] bekks: ty [20:52] Weez: sudo gnome-terminal & [20:53] Weez: but i dunno about another tab [20:53] Weez: Here there are no stupid questions. try the commnad as -> sudo gnome-terminal & <- . [20:53] viper474: Weez: Never use sudo for graphical applications. Use gksu instead. [20:54] Weez: or kdesudo on kde [20:54] Weez: but obviously not for gnome-terminal [20:54] I wonder if I would be better served with using windows server for sharing files between windows and macs than ubuntu running samba. [20:54] does anyone here know why pulseaudio keeps resetting microphone input to exactly 9% on every reboot? I always have to reset it back up to 28% and it's getting annoying :( [20:54] Weez: you could open a tab and "sudo su" for root shell [20:56] ok; this is odd. following the ubuntu packaging guide, section 8, I created a branch of xscreensaver using "bzr branch ubuntu:xscreensaver xscreensaver-hpr" which created the directory "xscreensaver-hpr". The guide says that the ubuntu patches should already by applied, but 'quilt applied' says no patches are applied yet [20:56] DzAirmaX: oh after some research it seems that 99-footer was dropped because now you can put your static content in /etc/motd and it works automatically, not very well documented, I only found it in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691414 [20:56] Debian bug 691414 in manpages "manpages: motd(5) and motd.tail(5) do not reflect reality in wheezy" [Important,Fixed] [20:56] ahh thanks all [20:57] much easier to just open a tab and sudo su didnt realize it was an option [20:57] if I apply the patches with "quilt push -a", how do i separate my changes (which will be next) from the changes that quilt made? [20:57] Weez: sudo su is abad idea, too. [20:57] Weez: use sudo -i instead. [20:57] thanks bekks im a linux rookie so ill look it up and find out what is is and why i shouldnt use sudo for grphical apps [20:57] bekks: i usually use 'sudo su -' - is that as bad? [20:57] bekks: whats the difference there ? [20:58] aaa801: The useless use of su can be omitted by sudo -i [20:58] aha right [20:58] sudo --help [20:58] whoops [20:59] Weez: For your study -> www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo <- . [20:59] trhanks guys, what does the -i switch do? [20:59] thanks* [21:00] Weez: It opens an interactive root shell. [21:01] Hello to all [21:01] i have some problem with ubuntu 14.04 [21:02] i have installed windows 7 and i install ubuntu but cant see grub menu [21:02] does anyone here know why pulseaudio keeps resetting microphone input to exactly 9% on every reboot? I always have to reset it back up to 28% and it's getting annoying :( [21:02] i have ssd and uefi bios and gpt partition windows [21:02] can you help me pls [21:02] Bashing-om, great link, explains it perfectly [21:02] coolman_bg84: any bootloader attall ? [21:03] aaa801, ? [21:03] coolman_bg84: does it boot to linux or w7 ? [21:03] Weez: Great, lots more where that came from ! [21:03] aaa801, i boot on linux [21:03] aaa801, but cant see windows 7 partiton [21:03] is it still there :P? [21:04] so its booting straight to ubuntu basicaly, [21:04] have a read through this coolman_bg84 :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [21:04] aaa801, no but will reed [21:05] is this the right channel to report a package with a bug fixed in svn but not updated yet in ubuntu repositories? [21:05] had to run that a couple days ago when grub installed the bootloader to a fucking removable sd card [21:05] hey guys, I got a problem with my apt : trying to install some differents paquets and it failed : [21:05] curl : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.32.0-1ubuntu1) but 7.32.0-1ubuntu1.3 is to be installed [21:05] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [21:05] any advice ? [21:05] o god, a broken apt system [21:06] mitch_reward: do you have universe enabled? software-properties-gtk make sure universe is checked, then run sudo apt-get update; and try again [21:06] mitch_reward: sorry not universe updates [21:06] trism, am gonna check [21:06] mitch_reward: on the Updates tab, the -updates option === Izaya is now known as Izaya-AFK [21:06] mitch_reward: my brain wasn't working for a second there [21:07] in my source.list i've got it : [21:07] deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy universe [21:07] deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy universe === Izaya-AFK is now known as Izaya [21:07] trism, should I comment it ? [21:07] mitch_reward: yeah sorry not universe, I meant saucy-updates [21:09] trism, which repo are you talking exactly, sorry not a expert of ubuntu [21:09] Does anyone know what the default sector size would be of an ubuntu installation using ext4? [21:09] mitch_reward: it should look something like: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates main restricted universe multiverse [21:10] sorry, inode size [21:11] trism, no I dont have, maybe cause I disabled the automatic update through the graphical update utility? [21:11] mitch_reward: maybe, anyway you are getting that error because you have a version from -updates installed but now you are trying to install something older from -release because -updates is disabled [21:12] mitch_reward: technically an old version from -updates because it is now at 1.4, if you use software-properties-gtk it should be easy to enable otherwise add a line like I had above for saucy-updates [21:12] not sure to really get you.. and what would you suggest [21:12] trism, ok [21:12] mitch_reward: you should also enable security since you probably have that disabled too [21:13] Fatalnix: The number of 'inodes' is dependent on the size of the partition. When the partition is created one may speicify the number of 'inodes' from that of the default. [21:13] trism, thanks mate, am gonna check it right now [21:16] Fatalnix: 'IF' -> df -i <- says no more inodes, all you can do at that point is start removing files. [21:18] another question, i am on 12.04.4 probably wont upgrade until 14.04.1 maybe even .2 comes out just to be on the safe side but "typically" is it a safe upgrade from LTS-LTS releases. Ive spent a lot of time getting mysql and apache working the way i want and would hate to screw that up === TheUltimateCup is now known as UltimateNate [21:20] Weez: it is safe to have backups too [21:20] lol im reading right now on how to backup MySQL [21:21] Weez: From what I have seen, if one disables the 3rd pary PPAs, AND reverts theer proprietary grphics driver, the new-release upgrade has been flawless ( as in smooth). [21:21] Am I login? [21:22] OperaGhostkv: To IRC ? .. yep. [21:23] FYI: David Wheeler explains how to prevent the next HeartBleed vulnerability at http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/heartbleed.html [21:23] whats a 3rd party PPA? [21:23] I'd like to see his tips added to the automated build systems. [21:24] Thx :-) [21:24] Weez: Anything added to your system that is not in the ubuntu software respository. [21:24] aaa801, i tried but doesnt work :( [21:26] coolman_bg86: anything wrong? [21:26] ahh ok, and i just checked and it said no proprietary drivers are in use on this system so i guess im ok on that end, only other software i have is XBMC and X-Chat everything else is pretty much stock [21:27] just moved to a larger apartment and i'm using wifi instead of ethernet to ssh into my HP microserver from my laptop, and i'm getting unbearable lag.

[21:30] !bitcoin [21:30] Ubuntu's repositories do not include clients for most cryptocurrencies. You will need to use a !PPA or !compile from source to get them. Since neither of these options is officially supported, consider asking your cryptocurrency's IRC channel (see !alis) for help. [21:30] yes [21:30] em...bitcoin miner? [21:31] bitcoin??or litecoin?

I type my 'correct' password, and get a screen flash and 'back to the login screen' ...

[22:12] Bashing-om: how should correct permissions look?

[22:20] but it doesn't disappear when I have choose a desktop [22:20] entreri_: Minimal install, One only installs the core, all else must be added. [22:21] Bashing-om: ok, changed the permissions... (maybe on the OS Upgrade they got changed? ) should I try to startx now ? [22:21] Bashing-om: I cannot find a minimal install from the download choices on Ubuntu.com ?

[22:24] entreri_: You are welcome, you are going to learn a lot ! // nothing is done for ya ->but you have the operating system of your desires and wildest dreams ! [22:25] de-blobbed* [22:26] Is MinimalCD substantially different from installing CLI only from a regular CD? [22:26] Bashing-om: maybe that helped cause now startx took me to a black screen right away (didn't wait anything)... maybe I should try to install a window manager like gnome again? ( I just upgraded from 13.04 to 14.04 so maybe something got broken) [22:26] systemD is not standard yet, and blobbed kernel, not sure what you blobbing [22:27] asd [22:29] OerHeks: When system d becomes pre-packaged with Ubuntu will I have the ability to change to system v? Also in regards to what I said earlier, I am asking whether or not their is a libre-kernel for Ubuntu, as the Kernel Ubuntu uses contains firmware-blobs.

[22:33] Bashing-om: no errors, everything up to date etc [22:33] can't you guys just tell me how to figure out if i have UEFI Bios or a normal Bios? [22:33] It really looks like startx is not even trying to start gnome or something ( don't know if that makes sense ), in the black screen I don't get a mouse cursor btw [22:33] onepphire: Hang loose in channel #freenode to learn a lot about IRC, and I bet xchat has a channel too .

[22:41] Bundestrojaner: As you have an old package in the repo, I would start with 'apt-get build-dep simultrans'. That would give you all build dependencies for the old version. That's probably a good start. [22:41] !find libbz2.so.1.0 [22:41] File libbz2.so.1.0 found in lib64bz2-1.0, libbz2-1.0, pristine-tar [22:41] Bundestrojaner: One way -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/ <- then 'dpkg -i' to install.

[22:44] minimec: or does installing simutrans from the repo doesn't install the same libs as building-dep? [22:44] I have installed Gnome./ I run it instead of Unity. But the *#!!%*!# developers have removed Pomodoro from extensions so I need to build it.... T do that I need to calculate Gnome version [22:44] Goles: How is it going ? Hanging with you 'till we know. [22:44] Bundestrojaner: You dont's have to install the older version. You have to install all the packages needed for compiling. That's normally a lot of *-dev packages of libraries. 'apt-get build-dep simultrans' would install all these libs, but not the simultrans package. === acx100 is now known as acx111 [22:45] Bundestrojaner, "Provided here is the Linux 32 bit built, which may clash with some libaries and some distributions.

It must be simple but has defeated me. I need a way to find the version of Gnome I have installed. 'aptitude show gnmpome' does not work, lsb_release -a does not work. gnome-help does not tell me.... [22:49] Bashing-om: any idea? :) [22:49] kostkon: it seems to work, thx [22:49] Bundestrojaner, np [22:52] Sigh; I'm getting some annoying complexity w/ dpkg/apt with "qtchooser" -- http://pastebin.com/9hj6XfZ2 ; anyone familiar with this package issue?

[23:07] svemirko, 8.4 is not supported [23:08] svemirko: what OS are you currently running? (do you have any other systems with newer operating systems that you could move the hard drive to?) [23:08] svemirko, update your Ubuntu version to one which is supported [23:08] @svermirko if you have 08.04 running you should be able to mount you partition [23:08] svemirko, Generally you would use a live environment, describe the cannot access, how are you trying? [23:08] i cannot mount the drive, it says that it has a wrong fs... the well known error msg [23:09] i tried fsck but i lack fsck.jfs [23:09] svemirko: what is the mount command you're using? -- see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=951409 for some examples [23:09] svemirko, and the file system is a? [23:09] for installation i have ext3 [23:09] and cannot mount jfs [23:10] how do i fix the firefox problem I have reset it still the same http://imagebin.org/309054 [23:10] svemirko, Pastebin a sudo fdisk -l and identify the partition your trying to get to. [23:10] Suggest: creating a quick pastebin: with;; "sudo fdisk -l", and whatever other commands you've tried that present the error message [23:10] ok then you need to get that drive on a newer system [23:10] i tried through the graphic interface as well as mount with help of man [23:10] you are probably missing the packages to mount that type of file system, and with such an old distro you will have difficulty adding them [23:10] <_[myth> svemirko, i'm not sure you read the replies to your question :/ [23:11] yeah, the system is not supported, i tried apt-get but to no avail [23:11] i also manually downloaded the package of jfsutils [23:12] but cannot install them because of the compiler error [23:12] <_[myth> svemirko, your ubuntu version is not supported on this channel. [23:12] <_[myth> Try upgrading to 14.04 LTS [23:12] which again i cannot fix due to apt=get not working [23:12] @myth really? you think hes running 08.04 on a system and it will update to 14.04? [23:13] yeah i know it is not supported, i noted that the 8 is the most i can get out of the machine to work with because its 15 years old [23:13] plus i have no sound events working on here and I have allready check the box in the sessions for event sounds [23:13] so i cannot ugrade further [23:13] <_[myth> Fresh install might help [23:13] this machine cannot run 14.04 i guess... [23:13] that is why i dont have it [23:13] * Beldar notes jfs is a file system, doh [23:13] nonya: This topic describes a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/ta/questions/998416 [23:14] if you want you could try running a newer version from cd or usb but i dont think 14.04 will work [23:14] id use 12.04 ive had good results using it with older systems [23:14] <_[myth> You may use Live CD to test whether it works on your device or not [23:14] svemirko: agree with linux, if you can't get JFS utils installed, and can't upgrade, definitely you'll want to boot off a live CD/USB, even on older systems should load fine for you to get your job done [23:15] How comes i cannot edit vpn in network connections? [23:15] if you still cant get a live session running from a disc or usb, id try xubuntu or lubuntu [23:15] i can boot live... the 8.04 version [23:15] i can try newer but i doubt it will work [23:15] svemirko, I would boot a more up to date live and make sure it has jfsutil and try. [23:15] can i do this from a live cd? [23:15] This is becoming more and more unstable [23:15] ok [23:15] i will download a newer one [23:15] you suggest 12? [23:15] yes 12.04 [23:16] can give it a shot [23:16] i did safe mode fermulator [23:16] same problem [23:16] thats where i would start [23:16] <_[myth> svemirko, download iso from Ubuntu official website, write it into your CD/USB, plug it into your computer, and reboot [23:16] Goles: I am back, got off into other places. Server with a gui ? Many I see say go as light as possible // And it is advised that a GUI in a server invironment is a security risk, big time. [23:16] svemirko: how much RAM does this ancient machine have? [23:16] svemirko, You know how to turn off the live cd/usb and access the repos if needed for the jfsutil? [23:16] tnx myth, i know the process :) [23:16] Bashing-om: I use freenx to startup a gui when I really need it (it's a home server) [23:17] <_[myth> GUI is option, and you may turn on/off or install/uninstall it at any time [23:17] How comes i cannot edit vpn in network connections? [23:17] the problem is that with the new gnome unity thing freenx seems to fail [23:17] ( vnc too AFAIK) [23:17] can i try to save data to usb from a live boot? [23:17] nonya: when did it start happening? any ideas/hints as to what could have changed? [23:17] svemirko: yes [23:17] 12.04 still has three years left on the cycle so it will have all the necessary packages available, and you can install them while running a live session even if they wont be permanent [23:17] nonya: (that URL I linked doesn't even have a solution, sorry) [23:17] Goles: Welp, now you know more than I, So, now what is at issue with your server ? [23:17] Bashing-om: And knowing is half the battle. G.I. JOE!!! [23:18] does the 12.04 support jfs out of the box? [23:18] It happened after xubuntu update [23:18] fermulator, [23:18] Be back in a few minutes gota go potty [23:19] Bashing-om isn't there a way to change my default window manager to the 'classic & old' gnome? [23:19] Bashing-om: that would solve the remaining issues for sure. [23:19] nonya: Well I guess it could be one of many problems... ; I'm no expert here, but I might guess: 1) some random packages got upgraded that broke something 2) perhaps the newer versions are trying to "draw" in such a way that your graphics driver doesn't support ... [23:19] I would try to install xfce4 but don't really have the time :( [23:20] yes i think jfs will work on a default install of 12.04 [23:20] Goles: I am aware of a couple of ways. One is install a Windows manager ( I would not and don't ) the other is to install the desk top you want and start it from the terminal. [23:20] have you checked out this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=951409 [23:21] Goles: 'sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback' gives you to additional 'classic' gnome sessions. One with metacity, one with compiz. === 7JTAAOQU8 is now known as asturel_ [23:22] minimec: it's crazy but it appears that session-flashback doesn't play well with Ubuntu 14, this is the output that I get https://gist.github.com/Goles/b9750f139397c81db714 [23:22] ( when trying to install it I mean ) [23:22] i am a desktop newbie and i managed to install 14.04 on my old PIII laptop. My laptop has 1 usb port which is damaged so i can only my PCMCIA slots to access the internet wirelessly. [23:23] linus yeah i have seen this thread [23:23] nonya: other discussions (recent) show that the issue may be theme related https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997900 -- again, likely due to some packages upgrading/changing to break support for some part of your Firefox theme [23:23] but i lack fsck.jfs in my system [23:23] nonya: does reverting to the default theme resolve the issue? [23:23] it -seems- that installing gnome-panel also installed session-flashback (not really sure), if it's the case, how can I set the classic gnome to be my default desktop environment ? (instead of this new Gnome with the 'activities' thing?) [23:23] looking into it [23:23] Goles: Are you using gnome3 as primary desktop? That would explain it. Gnome3 uses gnome-settings-daemon, while in 14.04 unity switched to unity-settings-daemon. [23:24] not [23:24] nonya: note I'm running FF v28.0 , w/ Ubuntu 12.04 [23:24] (no problems) [23:24] once you have a new live session running you will probably need to run sudo apt-get install jfsutils [23:24] is there a good way to get a list of all hardes ? i have tried fdisk -l |awk '{print $0}' | grep /dev but that will list sda1, sda2 ... , but i just want sda [23:25] minimec: Yeah I think so, I think it was installed by default when I updated from 13.04 to 14.04 :( [23:25] whoever: sudo lshw -c disk [23:25] and i do have other drives othher then sda , sdb, sdc [23:25] ok, i am downloading the 12.04 [23:25] minimec: how could I switch back? [23:25] the dl is 731mb, my mac says [23:25] i hope i could be able to burn it on a cd cause im out of dvd right now [23:25] fingers crossed [23:26] Goles: If you try to install unity-settings-daemon, does it conflict with gnome-settings-daemon? [23:26] but i cannot use usb cause the old machine does not support usb boot [23:26] minimec: let me see what happens [23:26] svemirko: brutal no USB :o [23:26] however my pcmcia wireless card is not recognized by 14.04. lspci says tha [23:26] yeah i know... [23:27] however my pcmcia wireless card is not recognized by 14.04. lspci says: 06:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface [23:27] minimec: I think you're correct https://gist.github.com/Goles/14786544dad42e1e5039 [23:27] its an old machine that my friend passed to me to save some data from it [23:27] how can i make it work under 14.04? [23:27] it represented a challange so i took it :) [23:27] svemirko: NOTE: another idea; is that you can move the hard drive from the old machine to a new machine, boot the NEW machine w/ live CD, and then access the drive that way [23:27] minimec: any clue about how te proceed ? [23:27] svemirko: er, USB boot that is [23:27] fermulator: thanks, i had that idea in my mind but i own only a laptop [23:28] but i will try that if everything else fails [23:28] i will go to someone to occupy the machine for a while :) [23:29] nonya: the last reply from you was "not", not sure if my suggestions surrounding changing your theme back to default has resolved your issue? [23:29] looking into some other suggestions === asturel- is now known as asturel_ [23:31] Goles: You seem to have some gnome3 ppa on that machine, because gnome-settings-daemon-schemas areon versoin 3.8.6.1 in trusty... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=gnome-settings-daemon-schemas&searchon=names [23:31] Goles: I cannot help you there. I try to avoid ppa's, and as you see I have some reasons to do so... ;) [23:32] minimec: Maybe it would be cool to remove them, I just want the old gnome working again so that I can vnc to the machine [23:32] ubuntu is based on debian and found instructions for debian: https://wiki.debian.org/acx BUT where are the instructions for Ubuntu/Lubuntu 14.04??? === francesco_ is now known as monkey-d-luffy === D is now known as Guest2549 [23:34] minimec: you're right I found the following ppa gnome3-team-gnome3-next-trusty in sources.list.d, [23:34] Goles: ppa-purge might help there... [23:34] minimec: shoudl I run sudo apt-get remove gnome3 first? [23:35] !ppa-purge [23:35] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [23:36] hiya [23:36] Goles: Do you have an alternate Window manager installed? IN that case you can. Otherwise you might only be able to do further installatioins on terminal. [23:36] minimec: don't really have a problem by using the terminal, at all. [23:37] So I could just do a sudo apt-get remove gnome3 , purge the ppa's, and start fresh (don't know how to install the classic gnome though ) [23:37] is anyone proficient with usb stick installs? [23:37] Goles: So I would purge gnome3, then ppa-purge the repo, then 'sudo apt-egt install ubuntu-desktop' to get the default 14.04 package selection. [23:38] ok, will do that in 1 sec [23:38] NightmareLord, Many, describe the issue to the channel [23:38] Goles backup your data first [23:38] minimec: I think the package is actually called gnome-session (since it didin't find gnome3) [23:38] OerHeks: don't have any data :) [23:39] i want to install the boot cd on usb and then install the full on a parrition of that usb while keeping a big syorage partition [23:39] minimec: so it would be sudo apt-get purge gnome-session, [23:39] !persistent | NightmareLord [23:39] NightmareLord: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:40] NightmareLord, You need a install medium and the usb for the full, using one is not really an option per-say. [23:41] minimec: damn, tried to do a 'sudo apt-get purge gnome-session' and got a conflict again :( https://gist.github.com/Goles/431c71821bb733e44e6f [23:42] Goles: first remove 'gnome-session-fallback' [23:42] NightmareLord, Do you have a ubuntu or linux install now, and are using grub to boot? [23:44] purging gnome-session :) [23:45] I don't seem to get the ppa-purge syntax though... how do I get the and (where can I get that info?) [23:45] is it visible in /etc/apt/ ? [23:47] Goles: ppa's are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d probably. Otherwise you could check it in software&updates in the gnome settings I guess. === teja is now known as Guest23704 [23:50] minimec: I see the gnome3 ppa there, it's called gnome3-team-gnome3-next-trusty.list [23:51] looks like this, 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-next/ubuntu trusty main' [23:51] so I should do ppa-purge ppa:X/Y ? :S [23:52] Goles, read the bots info [23:52] Goles: 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3' [23:52] Yeah I read that the bot said, 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:/' === teja__ is now known as swag [23:53] I was just a bit confused about what's repository-name and subdirectory Beldar === swag is now known as teja__ [23:54] minimec: got 'Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: gnome3-team gnome3' ... took a while to Update the package lists though [23:55] Goles, read the "read about installing" the purge is the same ppa info, only using the purge commands. https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 [23:55] Has to still be there though. [23:55] sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [23:56] Beldar, I can only use usb sticks for the install [23:56] Yeah, in the ppa's dir I see the gnome3-team-gnome3-next-trusty.list , .save etc [23:56] oh and staging [23:56] Goles: 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next' then.... https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3-next [23:56] Guess i will try chrome [23:57] NightmareLord, Than get two. === javier_ is now known as pochito [23:57] when i run cat /proc/mdstat on my raid1 system (software), for md0 it says [>....................] check = 4.4% (85623936/1945569088) finish=28157.8min speed=1100K/sec ? is this normal ? the system has been installed for 9 days.. i thought the check stuff was over with.. why is it checking again? I noticed it happened when i first installed the server.. but now again? and 28,157 minutes? thats 19 days ? lol [23:59] Beldar, once I get 2, can the boot grub be entirely on the usb so I pass on the BIOS to get to the usb grub first?
