| nigel | Hi, since upgrading from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS my dual monitors wont work, I can only get them to mirror each other. Any suggestions? Thx | 00:09 |
| lakoma | ya, it wont pick up... and im not entirely sure how to install it. i plugged it in and it worked with my windows xp... but wont | 00:09 |
| lakoma | with ubuntu | 00:09 |
| fenik | I know it's shutting down, but this is related to the "Download all files as .zip" button they have now. | 00:09 |
| mgolisch | lakoma: what adapter is this? | 00:10 |
| fenik | Basically I went to download all my files and ended up getting a zip of someone else's files. | 00:11 |

| kostkon | Dvorovoi, what errors are you getting | 00:36 |
| Dvorovoi | Im not getting any | 00:37 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, run it from the terminal: winecfg | 00:37 |
| Dvorovoi | i have a hard drive thats full. wanted to change my wine directories to another hard drive. so i figured id uninstall it from the software manager | 00:37 |
| Dvorovoi | then when i went to reinstall it, im told i have 3 other versions installed | 00:38 |
| Dvorovoi | and i wanted to get rid of those too | 00:38 |
| Dvorovoi | but i dont know how to do that | 00:38 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, you could just soft-linked the .wine dir | 00:38 |
| Dvorovoi | winecofig was just me trying to find a way to achieve the above | 00:38 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, 3 versions? hmm | 00:38 |
| Dvorovoi | sec ill paste | 00:38 |
| Dvorovoi | wine-1.7.17 | 00:39 |
| Dvorovoi | wine-1.7.17 | 00:39 |
| Dvorovoi | just the one | 00:39 |
| Dvorovoi | but the software manager says 3 | 00:39 |
| Dvorovoi | a 64bit one. and main one and a 43 bit one | 00:39 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, so, what's the exact error message you are getting in the software centre | 00:39 |

| Gigakoops | Hello, I need help with an audio problem. For the past few months the headphone jack had been working fine, but today it just doesn't work, and audio still plays out of the speakers. When I plug the headphones in I still hear a little "blip," so the jack itself is working. I have tried both ALSA Mixer and Pavucontrol, and neither has fixed the problem. | 00:40 |

| vernon | Quick question. I am thinking about switching to Ubuntu. I have a lot of experience with Linux. I prefer the Cinnamon desktop, and was excited to see it is now independent of GNOME. How do I get this on Ubuntu 14.04? | 00:44 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, try the apt-cache policy wine* command | 00:44 |
| vernon | And I also want to remove Unity. So I essentially want Linux Mint, without Linux Mint. I actually cannot stand that distro. | 00:46 |
| daftykins | !find cinnamon | 00:46 |
| Yelu | Very, very positive feedback to all the "helping hands" here: do-release-upgrade from 11.10 server to 12.04 LTS server - customer (100 clients) had absolutley no issues with it (only some config files), though running it with a ejabberd and a non-supported domino server on it. - Thanks to all. | 00:46 |

| ubottu | Package cinnamon-desktop does not exist in trusty | 00:47 |
| daftykins | *shrug* :) | 00:47 |
| vernon | That does little to answer my question. I don't mind setting up PPAs. | 00:47 |
| daftykins | i was more curious myself than anything. | 00:47 |
| vernon | As I said, I do have experience. I did run Gentoo for quite a while myself, so I am pretty comfortable in command line only. | 00:47 |
| xangua | vernon: this is a good start http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ | 00:48 |

| vernon | Upgraded PCs a while back, and I know that this machine will be a pain and a half to work with on that end. No longer can I dedicate a whole computer to this craziness. Plus this one has a 120 GB SSD, and a 1 TB HDD. I want to boot off of the SSD, and set critical apps to run on this, and use my 1TB drive as storage. If I like Ubuntu after modding | 00:51 |
| vernon | it, then fine. So 2 disk drives, makes everything a literal pain in the rear on command line only. I went back to Windows since this is a more than capable gamer ;) | 00:51 |
| Dvorovoi | kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7401907/ in case you missed | 00:51 |
| vernon | Which in itself is quite, quite painful. I hate it... | 00:54 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, you already have wine 1.7, but you could try: sudo apt-get clean and then sudo apt-get install wine1.7 --reinstall | 00:54 |
| vernon | And Ubuntu popped my cherry... So it has a weird place in my heart. | 00:54 |
| vernon | Seven_Six_Two: Awesome! Will have to use that PPA... | 00:55 |
| Dvorovoi | ok | 00:55 |
| Dvorovoi | so wine work as it should...how to I get wine to look into a divverent device for program data? | 00:56 |

| Dvorovoi | kostkon: ok i think my initial problem was fixed. It could not find files on a partition I tried to use before rebooting | 00:59 |
| kostkon | Dvorovoi, ok. | 01:00 |
| vernon | Now to get rid of Unity... What is a good solution so I don't destroy my system? | 01:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | vernon, install another desktop and don't worry about it. Unity is just compiz plugins, and won't take up a lot of space. | 01:02 |
| kostkon | vernon, leave it as it is. Don't remove it | 01:03 |
| vernon | Ahh, so it is Compiz plugins for GNOME I take it. So the root problem is GNOME, which Cinnamon is no longer dependent upon. Hmm... | 01:03 |
| c4rt3r | what am i doing wrong here http://pastie.org/9144288 | 01:04 |
| kostkon | vernon, in reality, cinnamon is a customised version of gnome shell. | 01:04 |
| vernon | c4rt3r: Looks like you tried installing a MAC version. Shame on you! | 01:05 |
| c4rt3r | lol its not me its the ppa i'm using bro | 01:05 |

| kostkon | Dvorovoi, maybe the files in .wine are corrupted. If you don't mind losing your wine apps, you could try deleting the folder, or maybe renaming it. | 01:08 |
| Argure | so, I got this old server I've had thrown in my lap I've been meaning to migrate but now has a full disk | 01:08 |
| Argure | I added more disk space and created a new primary volume | 01:08 |
| vernon | c4rt3r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7401959/ | 01:08 |
| Argure | and assigned all free space in LVM: LV Size 229.45 GiB (was, 20GB) | 01:08 |
| Argure | however, resize2fs fails: resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mastvoet/virtual\nCouldn't find valid filesystem superblock. | 01:09 |
| Argure | any ideas? | 01:09 |
| vernon | Argure: How much space is left in that disk exactly? | 01:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Argure, run fsck on the filesystems from a live disc or usb | 01:09 |
| c4rt3r | hmm i'll have a good read vernon thanks man | 01:10 |
| Argure | Seven_Six_Two: it's a vps (hence the planned migration to physical) - no option for a live boot because no HVM | 01:10 |
| vernon | c4rt3r: NP. Hope that gets you somewhere... | 01:10 |
| Argure | vernon: /dev/vda3 209713152 524287999 157287424 8e Linux LVM | 01:10 |
| Argure | that should be entirely empty, considering I literally just ordered the additional space for it | 01:11 |
| vernon | Argure: Now that is odd. I would think that error means that the drive is full. | 01:11 |
| mgolisch | or its not a extfs filesystem.. | 01:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Argure, what's output of lvs | 01:12 |
| Argure | Seven_Six_Two: virtual mastvoet -wi-ao 229.45g | 01:12 |
| mgolisch | what does file -s /dev/mastvoet/virtual say? | 01:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Argure, you said that there's 2 hd? | 01:12 |
| vernon | Argure: I think you literally cannot resize this drive. So time to go fresh on it, and dedicate the whole drive as an LVM? | 01:13 |
| Argure | mgolisch: symlink to dm-3: /dev/dm-3: SGI XFS filesystem data (blksz 4096, inosz 256, v2 dirs) | 01:13 |
| Argure | Seven_Six_Two: no, this is a vps unfortunately :/ | 01:13 |
| vernon | Argure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7401970/ | 01:13 |
| mgolisch | probably thats why resize2fs doesnt work | 01:13 |
| vernon | Argure: Reading material over this error. | 01:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Argure, http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/features/resize-your-disks-on-the-fly-with-lvm | 01:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Argure, instead of quoting what I was reading... | 01:14 |
| mgolisch | use whatever thing xfs uses | 01:14 |
| Argure | oh bloody hell | 01:15 |
| Argure | it's xfs | 01:15 |
| Argure | not ext4 | 01:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's why the superblock looks wrong! | 01:15 |
| Argure | root@mastvoet:/usr/local# xfs_growfs /usr/local/virtual | 01:16 |
| Argure | data blocks changed from 5242880 to 60147712 | 01:16 |
| Argure | this is why I dislike working on servers I haven't set up myself | 01:16 |
| c4rt3r | hey vernon i cloned the latest git and put it in manually and i have lulz | 01:16 |
| Argure | not to mention the complete lack of monitoring that this disk was filling up :/ | 01:16 |
| c4rt3r | thanks man | 01:16 |
| vernon | c4rt3r: I am glad I found a fix for you. You are most welcome, that is why we are on here. | 01:17 |
| mgolisch | Argure: nagios ftw | 01:17 |
| mgolisch | :) | 01:17 |
| Bray90820 | How would i specify which lines i am talking about in sed | 01:17 |
| Argure | mgolisch: yeah, I have nagios set up for the new servers | 01:17 |
| vernon | Argure: Ahh, that makes a lot of sense! Well, good thing you got to the root of it! | 01:17 |
| Argure | I haven't configured it to monitor servers I'm trashing in ~2 weeks | 01:17 |
| vernon | Okay, so no BS, how good is the new LTS? | 01:18 |
| Argure | (also, things like lack of monitoring are probably why I've taken over the sysadmin thing to begin with :P) | 01:18 |
| Argure | also, finally actual backups | 01:18 |

| slimjimflim | hi, what's the best way to install php 5.4 or php 5.3 in 14.04? | 01:22 |
| kostkon | !info php | 01:24 |
| ubottu | Package php does not exist in trusty | 01:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | !info php5 | 01:24 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB | 01:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | slimjimflim, can't be 5.5? | 01:24 |
| slimjimflim | Seven_Six_Two: i have 5.5 but i want to test in 5.4 | 01:25 |
| somsip | slimjimflim: use a vm | 01:25 |
| slimjimflim | somsip: i'd prefer to do it not spend the extra time setting one up esp. if there's a package/repo i can use | 01:26 |
| Bray90820 | Can someone help me here | 01:26 |
| slimjimflim | somsip: *i'd prefer not to spend... | 01:26 |
| Bray90820 | What single sed command can be used to change all occurrences of ‘daemon’ to ‘DAEMON’ from the line containing ftp to the line containing lp: | 01:26 |
| somsip | slimjimflim: there is no way to allow different version of php to run under apache on one machine AFAIK. You can run different versions under CLI though | 01:26 |
| slimjimflim | somsip: you can do it by changing the php executable in apache2.conf ...i could compile php 5.4/5.3 but i'd rather just use a package | 01:27 |
| somsip | slimjimflim: so no supported, simple way. | 01:27 |
| slimjimflim | figured | 01:27 |
| slimjimflim | k ty | 01:27 |
| Argure | slimjimflim: install php5 from apt | 01:27 |
| Argure | compile any other version from source | 01:28 |
| slimjimflim | Argure: the php5 package is 5.5 | 01:28 |
| somsip | slimjimflim: much better to invest an hour to setup a VM from a minimal CD for whenever you need to do regression testing | 01:28 |
| Argure | and run apache2 with fcgid against apache | 01:28 |
| Argure | easiest way would be to just run two versions of php5-fpm on different sockets or ports, and point your vhost to use whichever one you prefer | 01:28 |
| slimjimflim | Argure: fcgid...oh i think i did something like that once | 01:28 |
| slimjimflim | yea i think that's the way to go | 01:29 |
| slimjimflim | Argure+ | 01:29 |
| Argure | just have one php5-fpm listen on 9000 and the other on 9001 or w/e | 01:29 |
| Comviqhelpty | can someone help me | 01:29 |
| Comviqhelpty | i will pay in BTC for support | 01:29 |
| slimjimflim | Comviqhelpty: don't ask to ask, just ask | 01:29 |
| Comviqhelpty | Well I am more thinking someone can give me some livesupport for payment how to setup 3G Dongle in Ubuntu | 01:30 |
| Comviqhelpty | i also have some other problems understanding some dependency bugs | 01:30 |
| Comviqhelpty | !Kali | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 01:30 |
| Argure | slimjimflim: if you want to use a package just apt-get source and change paths, dpkg-buildpackage and install | 01:31 |
| slimjimflim | hmm | 01:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, look up your local linux user group, and attend a meeting. You can likely get facetime with many experienced people. | 01:32 |
| slimjimflim | Argure: i think i'm just gonna compile it and change the php executable path. that'll be less of a hassle | 01:32 |
| Argure | probably | 01:32 |
| Comviqhelpty | Seven_Sex_Two: now that's wierd | 01:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, which part? | 01:32 |
| Comviqhelpty | That you actually recommend me to go meet people to get support with something | 01:32 |
| Comviqhelpty | That I most likely can solve online with nice FRIENDLY people | 01:33 |

| Bashing-om | guest98765: OK, back to out situation. OK, core is installed, you have now ran -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- . and we are ready for the next step ? | 01:40 |
| Beldar | Comviqhelpty, We don't support kali or backtrack, that bot told you that from your prompt. | 01:41 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: upgrade... now... | 01:41 |
| Comviqhelpty | Problem is essentially same , I have tried ubuntu as well | 01:41 |
| Comviqhelpty | so let's just say the problem is in Ubuntu, because i have all 3 running in virtualbox | 01:41 |
| Beldar | Comviqhelpty, Hardly an issue, nit supported period. | 01:41 |
| Beldar | not* | 01:42 |
| Beldar | Comviqhelpty, GO AWAY. | 01:42 |
| Comviqhelpty | OK well then i have the same problem in Ubuntu, can you help me for the ubuntu OS? | 01:42 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: Now what results -> dpkg -l xorg <- want to see 'ii' in the 1st column. | 01:42 |
| Comviqhelpty | emm WHY? | 01:42 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: upgrading the Kernel.. | 01:42 |
| Comviqhelpty | I'm saying i have the exact same problem in Ubuntu and if it works on Ubuntu I am happy | 01:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | That's unnecessarily rude. There's no reason to try to kick someone out. | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, please be running Ubuntu, as there may be differences that none of us are aware of. That's all that was meant. | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, essentially the same != exactly the same | 01:44 |

| Comviqhelpty | I know I know | 01:44 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: Backing up ( me) one step run -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- , just to be on a safer side of things. when 'upgrade is done. | 01:44 |
| Comviqhelpty | but like i said I am happy if i can get it work on Ubuntu | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, I understand totally. I don't think I can help with that personally, but good luck! | 01:45 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: ok still DL kernel | 01:45 |
| Argure | as a debian user who is only here with an issue with an inherited ubuntu server: telling people to run ubuntu instead of a derivative seems funny to me :P | 01:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, you might want to try at a different time of day, as people come and go. | 01:45 |
| Comviqhelpty | Ill stick around and see if someone comes :) thanks | 01:45 |
| Beldar | Argure, The channel has rules, we will get yelled at for helping where not allowed. | 01:45 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: no hurry, I read the channel while it completes. | 01:45 |
| guest98765 | viper474: will the machine remember this WIFI config? | 01:48 |
| === MikeMista is now known as MistaMike | ||
| viper474 | guest98765: possibly not. After a restart it may disappear. So might want to update /etc/network/interfaces | 01:49 |
| guest98765 | only one essid allowed in that file? | 01:50 |
| === method1 is now known as method_overload | ||
| viper474 | guest98765: yes and make it in all caps | 01:50 |
| viper474 | guest98765: and remove the key | 01:50 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: (Thanks for that HUGE assist) guest98765 ; we will soon be in the position to reboot, prior to installing the desk top. | 01:50 |
| guest98765 | viper474: even if it is listed in lower case letters? | 01:51 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: I'm sure there's a GUI that will be easier after XFCE is up | 01:51 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: glad you know ! | 01:51 |
| guest98765 | viper474: i only have 512 megs of memory to work with... so light weight is the key. | 01:52 |
| viper474 | guest98765: make the broadcast name in all caps, since I thought that's how you said it was. I didn't mean the wireless-essid part itself | 01:52 |
| guest98765 | viper474: the no password one is all in lower case... The first one was all in caps. | 01:53 |
| viper474 | guest98765: well, everything in the file should be lowercase | 01:54 |
| viper474 | guest98765: except for after wireless-essid | 01:54 |
| marcos | BRs? | 01:55 |
| viper474 | guest98765: depends how your wifi signal display | 01:55 |
| guest98765 | viper474: Bashing-om loaded kernel and rebooted. | 01:55 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: how are we going to get guest98765 under 512MB? | 01:56 |
| myke | hello, i upgraded from xubuntu 13.04 to 14.04 and now sometimes get kernel panics shortly after boot...if i don't get one within the first few minutes it doesn't seem i get one at all...anyone experience this or have info? TIA | 01:56 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| guest98765 | viper474: the lubuntu minimal was 175k free mem according to top. | 01:57 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: since he has internet now, maybe we can get some output to paste.ubuntu.com | 01:58 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: Well that is ram, so far so good, I have in mind to see if guest98765 likes the idea of 'elinks' for a web brower, and hey, might be a good test bed for 14.04's ubuntu-browser ! | 01:58 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: I can try anything... | 01:59 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: is lxde lighter that xfce? | 01:59 |
| nerp | do any of you guys have any recommendations for personal code/process documentation? I was considering running redmine on a private server, but I would prefer something local if possible. | 02:00 |
| viper474 | guest98765: elinks is a text (command-line) web browser | 02:00 |
| Beldar | myke, Is there more than one kernel set to compare with? | 02:01 |
| guest98765 | viper474: no pix? | 02:01 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: That is your choice, I do not know how heavy Fire Fox, or Chrome would be, then there are lighter GUI options like iceweasel. But I sure have been impressed with elinks - but it is a test based web browser and has a learning curve. | 02:01 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: sure you want me to run dist-upgrade? | 02:02 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: dist-upgrade mostly deals with the kerenl installs, will not do a release upgrade, dist-upgrade is apt's smart mode to deal with new package install and depenency issues. | 02:03 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: firefox with 6 tabs for me is about 500 megs | 02:04 |
| guest98765 | Lets do xorg stuff dpkg -l xorg? | 02:04 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: Lets do xorg stuff dpkg -l xorg? | 02:04 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: lxde is a bit lighter, not much, and the support for xfce and it Configurability is without equal. | 02:05 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: -> dpkg -l xorg <- just to make sure it is fully installed. | 02:06 |
| guest98765 | Bashing-om: dpkg -l xorg no packages found matching xorg | 02:06 |

| Aalex_ | hi | 02:06 |
| Kion | I am trying to make a bash script and want to assign the output of a command into a variable, what am I doing wrong?: here is what I wrote: status = ps -e | grep mysqld | wc -l | 02:07 |
| m4rcos | what makes everyone in here? Talks or just finish problems? | 02:07 |
| * klutz vanished | 02:08 | |
| viper474 | m4rcos: just support/troubleshooting here | 02:08 |
| Bashing-om | guest98765: Now Ain't we glad I thought to check ! .. try again -> sudo apt-get install xorg <- . | 02:08 |
| Aalex_ | Hey I wanna install WIFI driver which I downloaded from update manager. | 02:08 |
| Aalex_ | But I can't. | 02:08 |
| klutz | viper474: its me vern guest98765 | 02:08 |
| Aalex_ | Someone guide me. | 02:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Kion, that command outputs to stdout, it doesn't return the value. | 02:08 |
| viper474 | Aalex_: why do you think you need a driver? | 02:08 |
| Bray90820 | How would i choose like 2-5 in sed | 02:09 |
| Kion | Seven_Six_Two: So how do I capture stdout into a variable? | 02:09 |
| myke | Beldar: so far i've only booted the standard kernel with standard options | 02:09 |
| Aalex_ | I had it before I updated my OS. | 02:09 |
| viper474 | klutz: hey, if you missed it, Bashing-om said to try: sudo apt-get install xorg | 02:09 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: Bashing-om: dpkg -l xorg no packages found matching xorg | 02:10 |
| Beldar | myke, Do you understand the question? | 02:10 |
| klutz | viper474: ok install xorg | 02:10 |
| viper474 | Aalex_: you had wifi or this specific driver? | 02:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Kion, try status=$(ps -e | grep mysqld | wc -l) | 02:10 |
| Aalex_ | I had updated my OS using my WIFI. | 02:11 |
| myke | Beldar: yes....i am running 3.13.0-24, it seems 3.11.0-20 is also installed in /boot | 02:11 |
| Aalex_ | But then the wireless option went missing. | 02:11 |
| rdpascua | is there a way i can update my sshd to >= 6.2? I have ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 02:12 |
| rdpascua | downloading the .deb stupidly doesnt do the trick | 02:12 |
| myke | i asked here to see if this was a major known problem, or just me | 02:12 |
| Beldar | myke, So was this a upgrade through 13.10? and were there any problems while upgrading? | 02:12 |
| klutz | viper474: Bashing-om installing xorg | 02:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Kion, for your reference: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 02:13 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: k, awaiting completion. | 02:13 |
| adestain | :o | 02:14 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: isn't this fun? | 02:14 |
| Kion | Seven_Six_Two: Thanks! that worked | 02:14 |
| Beldar | myke, Major known problem, would take details, which we lack here, to recognize. | 02:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Kion, great! don't forget to bookmark that link for later! It's everything you'll need for scripting. | 02:15 |
| m4rcos | viper474 thanks. it's good, i was thought that none want use IRC chats actually. I come here just for a test for a activities and I can not speak english, so, same i should help, I can't. Sorry-me. | 02:15 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: what happens when you try to run the .deb? | 02:15 |
| Kion | Seven_Six_Two: I already bookmarked it | 02:15 |
| rdpascua | well it uninstalled my existing openssh | 02:15 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: Hey, YES ! .. funnest thing I have ever encountered ! If it were not so, I would be earst-while pre-occupied elsewhere, huh ! | 02:15 |
| rdpascua | it says i needed some dependencies and stuff | 02:15 |
| rdpascua | i've tried apt-get -f install | 02:15 |
| rdpascua | well it just uinstalled it | 02:16 |
| ObsequiousNewt__ | How do I configure GTK applications to read from ~/.XCompose in Trusty? | 02:16 |

| Aalex_ | This is an error message. | 02:17 |
| myke | Beldar: i only upgraded saturday...haven't yet determined a pattern that triggers the kernel panic | 02:17 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: where did you download it from? Sometimes the page list dependencies. | 02:17 |
| rdpascua | ubuntu package repository | 02:18 |
| rdpascua | wait let me paste it | 02:18 |
| viper474 | Aalex_: gotcha... guess you're right. I'm not sure how to load a network driver.. =( | 02:18 |
| rdpascua | oh yes here | 02:18 |
| rdpascua | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openssh-server | 02:18 |
| Aalex_ | what should I do next??? | 02:18 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: done with xorg install | 02:19 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: which release? | 02:20 |
| rdpascua | 14.04 | 02:20 |
| rdpascua | what do you think viper474 | 02:20 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/openssh-server-udeb | 02:20 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: on the left side there's stuff with red dots. You need to install those first | 02:21 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: Let's jump, go ahead and install the desk top. -> sudo apt-get install xfce <- . | 02:21 |
| Beldar | myke, As one way to look try dmesg in the cli, kernels are a bit out of me giving any real efficient help. | 02:21 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: wait... | 02:21 |
| rdpascua | ohhh | 02:21 |
| lujingjie | 1 | 02:21 |

| klutz | Bashing-om: xfce4 maybe? | 02:22 |
| Aalex_ | hello somebody help me out......... | 02:22 |
| Bashing-om | Aalex_: the coomand you used is invalid for wireless, try as -> iwconfig <- . | 02:22 |

| rdpascua | yes | 02:22 |
| rdpascua | server | 02:22 |
| viper474 | 64-bit or 86? | 02:22 |

| rdpascua | whats the difference between udeb and the other | 02:24 |
| django | for ubuntu 12.04* | 02:24 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: Aalex_ wlan0 would show up as a device...but he's saying the wifi card need a different driver | 02:24 |
| Aalex_ | http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=309280 This is the error. | 02:24 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: xfce4 did it... | 02:24 |
| Aalex_ | what should I do??? | 02:25 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: wait are you on 12.04? | 02:25 |
| rdpascua | yes im on 12.04 | 02:25 |
| Beldar | Aalex_, Can you pastebin the out put of lspci in the terminal? | 02:25 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: i cheated... I looked into synaptic on my desktop. | 02:25 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: oh...I see... | 02:25 |
| rdpascua | why viper474? | 02:25 |
| viper474 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/openssh-server 5.9 is the newest for 12.04 | 02:25 |
| rdpascua | django: I think you can install by going through skype website | 02:26 |
| myke | Beldar: ok thanks | 02:26 |
| rdpascua | viper474: hmm so theres no posibility for upgrading? my 5.9 | 02:26 |
| rdpascua | to 6.6? | 02:26 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: I'm sure there's a way. I bet it's not kosher. =P | 02:26 |
| Beldar | skype is in the repos and the suggested used source | 02:26 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: OK ! .. in order to start xfce4, terminal command -> startxfce4 <- . Let's reboot at this time and see what results. Will boot to terminal; login and -> startxfce4 <- NEVER EVER use 'sudo' for the desk top ! | 02:26 |
| rdpascua | viper474: i've been searching for hours, i need this AuthorizedKeysCommand | 02:27 |
| rdpascua | which is only available for 6.2 | 02:27 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: you know if it's also in the newer ones? | 02:28 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: We have all these wonderful tools at out disposal, now If I can only learn to use them all ! | 02:28 |
| Aalex_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7402207/plain/ http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=309282 | 02:28 |
| rdpascua | we'll i'm doing something with git repository hooks, and i need that somewhat feature | 02:28 |
| rdpascua | searching gives me that its only existing on 6.2 | 02:29 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: so it will log into command line like we have been working with all day... login PW then startxfce4 | 02:29 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: ya got it ! | 02:29 |
| Aalex_ | can someone control my laptop from there and help me install these drivers??? | 02:29 |
| rdpascua | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/911747 | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 911747 in openssh (Ubuntu) "[Feature] Add AuthorizedKeysCommand to OpenSSH" [Wishlist,Fix released] | 02:30 |
| rdpascua | viper474: only on saucy | 02:30 |
| Beldar | Aalex_, What makes you sure the drivers you have are correct or can be installed, how did you get to this point? | 02:30 |
| viper474 | rdpascua: I just mean if that feature would have stayed in the newer versions of openssh | 02:30 |
| rdpascua | yes i'm sure | 02:31 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: I would like to get calibre up and running on this machine... I know I can do it from command line... will it work the same way? log in PW and type calibre? | 02:31 |
| rdpascua | 6.2 started that feature | 02:31 |
| rdpascua | anyhow can i install this one? or the udeb you gave me? | 02:31 |
| Aalex_ | http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=309282 | 02:31 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: lemme check for calibre . likely. | 02:32 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: this computer has an 80 gig HD in it and I want my E-books on it along with FBreader. | 02:33 |
| django | the skype icon is there but when i click on it nothing happens | 02:33 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: calibre it's self is not all that big. do -> apt-cache show calibre <- see all those dependencies .. well see what all is already installed, and what the overhead would be to install all those that are not currently installed. | 02:35 |
| viper474 | klutz: Bashing-om he has hard drive space! GIVE THIS MAN SOME SWAP. lol. | 02:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | klutz, /usr/bin/calibre | 02:38 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: When you are rebooted and up in xfce, lets see what the memory situation is, terminal command -> free <-. Then draw some conclusions. | 02:38 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: so once xfce is installed you want me to reboot and see if it works... viper474 I set up 2 gigs for a swap partition... | 02:38 |
| viper474 | klutz: great, so you kinda...have 2.5GB RAM...except that 2GB is slow RAM. | 02:39 |
| viper474 | klutz: because it's not RAM. Just Hard drive space being used in the place of it if you run out. | 02:40 |
| Aalex_ | hey Someone please suggest what should I do?? | 02:40 |
| klutz | viper474: i am not new to computers and partitioning... just got stuck trying to get this antique up and running. | 02:40 |
| viper474 | klutz: ah, ok. I didn't know. =) | 02:41 |
| klutz | viper474: yes I thought this computer might need aditional space to put things. | 02:41 |
| jonalmeida_ | Hello! Does anyone know how to configure the window snapping keyboard bindings? They aren't in the system preferences for some reason.. | 02:42 |
| klutz | viper474: even set up almost 67 gigs as /home so if the system died I can still get to the files. | 02:42 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: Yepper, want to know it workie, and also what the memory management is like, then start installing whatever else ya want ( web browser, ca;ibre, FBreader and all else that the memory can stand). | 02:42 |
| viper474 | klutz: let's hope you don't run out of space for programs | 02:43 |

| === corey_ is now known as Guest596 | ||
| Bashing-om | klutz: nah, we be at device level, -> df -h <- . | 02:46 |
| klutz | viper474: 10 gigs for system, 2 gigs for swap, and 67 gigs for /home | 02:46 |
| viper474 | Aalex_: maybe follow this video: http://youtu.be/5p59xfRtMLw | 02:47 |
| viper474 | Aalex_: I didn't look through it, but it sounds like it may be helpful | 02:47 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: keep forgetting about the df command | 02:47 |
| tannerstirrat | I've got a question regarding my /boot/ folder. I'm showing a whole bunch of old kernels in my boot folder, but they aren't registered with dpkg or apt-get (listing my kernels using these commands only shows my most recent one). Is it safe to just go through and delete those? | 02:47 |
| Aalex_ | okay I"ll try. | 02:48 |
| viper474 | tannerstirrat: do you have synaptic installed? | 02:48 |
| rww | tannerstirrat: what do the filenames look like? | 02:48 |
| jonalmeida_ | Anyone know how to configure window snapping keyboard shortcuts in unity? | 02:49 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: something like 10,000 commands, who can remember them ? only know what we use, use the tools at our disposal to find the others ! | 02:49 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, i did delete and it was ok | 02:49 |
| tannerstirrat | viper474: no, no synaptic. | 02:49 |
| tannerstirrat | rww: initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic-pae, for one example | 02:49 |
| tannerstirrat | anudas: ah, kk. I just wanted to verify | 02:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | gnome-control-center reports that I have 13.10 but I most certainly have 14.04 | 02:50 |
| Bashing-om | tannerstirrat: what release are you running ? .. safe way to remove kernels is through the package manager . | 02:50 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, ofcourse you must hold last kernel you use in boot | 02:50 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: first observation no network but I saved all of viper474 commands | 02:50 |
| tannerstirrat | yes, that was my plan | 02:50 |
| Comviqhelpty | sorry for asking again, but does anyone know if ubuntu has support for 3g in virtualbox | 02:50 |
| Comviqhelpty | and if so how to set it up | 02:50 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, it will be ok | 02:50 |
| tannerstirrat | I ran dpkg -l | grep linux-image in terminal, and it only showed one or two kernels | 02:51 |
| tannerstirrat | so i'm figuring that as long as I don't remove those, it'll be all right | 02:51 |
| viper474 | tannerstirrat: you could > sudo apt-get install synaptic < and search for them there | 02:51 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, i had about five old kernels :-) | 02:51 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: not a good sign. Are we up in the xfce Desktop ? all pretty ! | 02:52 |
| viper474 | tannerstirrat: just have to search for linux-image and linux-header | 02:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, lol. I didn't realize that you were using virtualbox. You said it's a usb dongle? I seem to remember choosing vmware because virtualbox didn't do usb passthrough | 02:52 |
| tannerstirrat | anudas: i've got over a dozen :P | 02:52 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, mc and you can delete by hand :-) | 02:52 |
| SchrodingersScat | Seven_Six_Two: thought it could | 02:53 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: does xfce come with a network-manager? | 02:53 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: it would be easier for him to configure that way | 02:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SchrodingersScat, I haven't used it for 4 years, so my knowledge is out of date. | 02:53 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: command line >>> top says 72028 used >> 435220 free... | 02:53 |
| Bashing-om | klutz: nope, no network manager - wired works out of the box without. | 02:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | Seven_Six_Two: well, link anyway https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#idp54878112 | 02:54 |
| Comviqhelpty | i can see my device in lsusb | 02:54 |
| Comviqhelpty | so usb is passing through but just recognised strange product or something i guess | 02:54 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: I can try that tomorrow... | 02:54 |
| anudas | tannerstirrat, every kernel get quite enough place | 02:54 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, does it work in ubuntu natively? | 02:55 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: -> klutz , yeah, sounds like the thing to do for wireless manipulations. | 02:56 |
| Comviqhelpty | I haven't tried to be honest | 02:56 |
| === s3ri0us is now known as s3ri0us|away | ||

| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, it's about the chipset, not really the brand. | 02:56 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: but he can't quite download it without internet first =P | 02:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, do you have a liveDVD to boot from, so that you can check the kernel modules used? Do you know which kernel module? | 02:57 |
| Comviqhelpty | uname dont show the kernel? | 02:57 |

| Comviqhelpty | usb core and usb common | 02:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, you might be able to insert it if you can figure out which one you need. That's just a script to establish the connection, not set up the hardware. | 03:00 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, do you have a pastebin of the current software settings and the output of an attempt or two? | 03:01 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: Yeah, one can make ecerything work in elinks, but it do take the know how ! | 03:01 |
| Comviqhelpty | i have teamviewer if you wanna check it out | 03:01 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, and a very old computer | 03:04 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: Yeah, I have suggested elinks, but klutz might be able to run say iceweasle or some other light weight browser - good time to test ubuntu-browser !. | 03:04 |
| Comviqhelpty | hmm let me play around a bit more | 03:04 |
| Comviqhelpty | thanks for answering :) | 03:04 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: klutz elinks might be faster to download | 03:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Comviqhelpty, theres a program called pastebinit that can help | 03:05 |
| klutz | viper474: install elinks | 03:05 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: I'm thinking we get that installed then try starting xfce. Copy/pasta the output with links | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: -> klutz yep, small, fast and light. but it is a text based browser - command like driven. | 03:06 |

| viper474 | Bashing-om: maybe ctrl+shift+c ctrl+shift+v for me | 03:10 |
| klutz | Bashing-om: elinks made it to google. | 03:10 |
| viper474 | klutz: you can CTRL+C to close it for now | 03:10 |

| klutz | Bashing-om: is there a reinstall? | 03:12 |
| viper474 | klutz: sudo apt-get install xclip | 03:13 |
| viper474 | klutz: we can use that to get the output xfce | 03:13 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: what's the command to start xfce? | 03:13 |

| Seven_Six_Two | django, yeah. I use the beta every day. I have 7 accounts | 03:16 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, how do i set it up so when i get an email it just beeps...i dont have to refresh it | 03:16 |
| viper474 | klutz: did the page pull up? | 03:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, do you have it set to check for new messages every x minutes? | 03:17 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, I guess not | 03:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, preferences >> server settings | 03:17 |
| Dvorovoi | Do I need to reboot after installing things like wine? | 03:17 |
| klutz | viper474: I am at ubuntu pastebin now... what do I do? | 03:17 |
| viper474 | klutz: push enter to be able to enter klutz as your poster name. Use the down arrow to get to the content area. Press enter there. Then try CTRL+SHIFT+V | 03:18 |
| viper474 | klutz: see if it pastes... | 03:18 |
| viper474 | klutz: if so, arrow down and press enter on Paste! | 03:19 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, where is preferences? | 03:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, the three horizontal bars at the right of your top panel | 03:20 |
| klutz | viper474: did it go? | 03:21 |
| viper474 | did it bring up a page after? | 03:21 |
| viper474 | klutz: should have a link at the bottom of the page | 03:22 |
| viper474 | klutz: could you type it in here? | 03:22 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, lol sorry i found the thunderbir preferences now where are the server settings? | 03:23 |
| klutz | viper474: when I hit paste another window came up and it said do you want to paste and I said yes... no link... redo | 03:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, Preferences >> account settings >> server settings | 03:24 |
| viper474 | klutz: shouldn't be a link on the page. But there's a link visible at the bottom of the window if you are on top of the download as text button | 03:24 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, got it..what timer do you have setup? | 03:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, I check every 10 minutes | 03:25 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, such a long time lol | 03:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, I use IMAP so it shows up anyhow... | 03:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, I guess I could have mentioned that., | 03:26 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: bro, it's almost 10:30 here... | 03:26 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: 10:30 same same here too, getting close to "no longer able to think coherently" . | 03:27 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, do I even have a choice..it automatically set it up as a POP Mail Server | 03:27 |
| viper474 | Bashing-om: getting closer to "I've got work in the morning" | 03:27 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest84710 | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | django, you have a choice, for sure. | 03:28 |
| viper474 | klutz: you see the url at the bottom-left? | 03:28 |
| Bashing-om | viper474: I have put my time in, now-a-days I can "sleep in", problem is that after all these hours on the keyboard my mind gets real dense and hard to get things through. | 03:29 |
| klutz | viper474: poster is me... syntax is plain text... I go down to the bottom of the page and hit paste, it opens another window and I answer yes... Then the bottom left has text field, name poster press enter to edit. | 03:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, right after you type in your email address and password when first setting up the account. | 03:29 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, its already set up | 03:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, if you use gmail, you have to go in to your settings in the web to enable imap access. | 03:30 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, its for a website I have | 03:30 |
| lkthomas | hey guys, I am using tzdata to change timezone, but date still showing old timezone, anyone have idea why ? | 03:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, I don't think you can convert it. you can create a new one, and move your emails over one folder at a time | 03:31 |
| viper474 | klutz: on this new page after selecting yes, does it start with Download as text? | 03:31 |
| viper474 | klutz: right under Paste from klutz on the left | 03:31 |
| viper474 | don't select it | 03:32 |
| Bashing-om | lkthomas: Maybe ? edit /etc/default/rcS and add or change the following section # Set UTC=yes . | 03:32 |
| klutz | viper474: no plain text is chosen below poster | 03:32 |
| viper474 | ah, so it's not getting the paste in the content section | 03:33 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, i might stick to gmail its really good | 03:33 |
| viper474 | maybe? | 03:33 |
| lkthomas | UTC already set to yes | 03:33 |
| lkthomas | if I remove /etc/localtime, seems correct | 03:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, for web based it is! I just find a client with imap better for what I need. | 03:33 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, thing is i switch between w7/ubuntu so idk if its worth having a client | 03:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, I don't need to leave a tab open for every account, and I don't have to flip around. | 03:34 |
| Bashing-om | lkthomas: dual booting Windows ? and Windows setting the time as from bios ? | 03:34 |
| klutz | viper474: ok doing it again... | 03:34 |
| viper474 | klutz: Poster fills out fine? Syntax as Plain is ok. Go down to Content and press enter on those lines. Then CTRL+SHIFT+V | 03:34 |
| floatingpoint | will a process with 20 kernel threads ALWAYS be scheduled more often than a process with 5 kernel threads? | 03:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, with imap, the messages will stay on the server, so it doesn't matter if you switch back and forth. I use imap on my desktop and my laptop with all the same accounts | 03:34 |
| viper474 | klutz: if you don't see stuff paste in the content section let me know | 03:34 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, oh wow | 03:35 |
| klutz | viper474: that is what I am not seeing. | 03:35 |
| viper474 | klutz: try CTRL+V then | 03:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, it's also got some chat features, and calendar with a plugin. | 03:35 |
| viper474 | klutz if that doesn't work, try middle mouse button | 03:35 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, incoming is IMAP right | 03:36 |
| klutz | viper474: what should it say at the bottom when content area is live? | 03:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, different ports for imap | 03:37 |
| viper474 | klutz: you have data in it now? | 03:37 |
| viper474 | klutz: just arrow down and there's a Paste button below it | 03:37 |
| viper474 | you press enter and say yes once | 03:37 |
| viper474 | this should take you to a page with the paste with a download as text at the top | 03:38 |
| klutz | viper474: i have tried ctrl+v and CtRL+shift+v nothing is appearing in the body of this screen | 03:38 |

| viper474 | klutz: startxfce4 > debug.txt; cat debug.txt | xclip -selection clipboard; elinks paste.ubuntu.com | 03:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | klutz, I don't think terminal apps have access to the desktop environment's clipboard. I can only ever paste in a terminal with my mouse. | 03:40 |
| klutz | viper474: paste lights up when I arrow down to it. | 03:40 |
| viper474 | Seven_Six_Two: you can send stuff to clipboard with xclip | 03:40 |
| viper474 | klutz: just get out and try that command I sent | 03:41 |
| viper474 | klutz: maybe that format will work better | 03:41 |
| django | Seven_Six_Two, by any chance do you have any experience with ubuntu laptop and dual graphics card | 03:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | django, no, sorry | 03:42 |

| lambs | with getting windows back | 04:19 |
| FiremanEd | !ask | lambs | 04:20 |
| ubottu | lambs: 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 | 04:20 |
| xvxv | rather than go back to windows you can use software installer to get any program you need | 04:21 |
| owh | lambs: Getting windows back? To what? It's box, bits on a DVD, onto your phone? What is your actual question? | 04:22 |
| lambs | I wanted to test out Ubuntu and installed it and everything but now I want to go back to windows, I thought I was installing it side by side (where i can switch between them) but I guess I didn't, I have the original windows 8 disk and I am trying to reinstall windows 8 or recover it but it says I am missing a drive partition, did I uninstall windows 8 or is it still there somehow? | 04:23 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | no windows back never more ... | 04:23 |

| owh | lambs: When you installed Ubuntu, did you select Use entire disk? | 04:24 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | yes ... was there that I was reading now ... | 04:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lambs, is it a retail cd, or a computer manufacturer disc | 04:24 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | but ... the IRC channel it's dead ... | 04:25 |

| coppercore | :P | 04:25 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | and foruns ... I didn't get on yet | 04:25 |
| owh | Zeh_Gordinho: That's true for lots of channels. Just because it's dead, doesn't mean you can ask questions about every random thing here. | 04:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lambs, a retail cd doesn't come with an HP laptop | 04:26 |
| owh | lambs: What OS are you currently running to talk to us? | 04:26 |

| owh | lambs: I understand what you're asking, but we're trying to determine if they are still there, or gone. I'm surprised you cannot boot the Windows installer disk and blow away the whole partition. | 04:34 |
| owh | lambs: May I ask what makes you desperate to go back to Windows? | 04:34 |
| lambs | owh: It also said that windows drive is locked when i try to refresh it | 04:35 |
| lambs | owh: i have just used windows for a very long time and I am very used to it, I just want to either use both or use windows | 04:35 |

| holstein | ^ thats how you do both | 04:36 |
| holstein | or, in virtualizaiton.. | 04:36 |
| lambs | holstein: ya I probably messed it up pretty badly | 04:36 |
| * owh prefers virtualization. | 04:36 | |
| owh | lambs: You could boot from a Ubuntu LiveCD, then remove the partitions from the drive, reboot and retry the Windows installation, but that will DESTROY everything on the drive. | 04:37 |
| lambs | owh: There isn't another way to get to windows? | 04:38 |
| lambs | owh: but if there isn't, I'm not to sure how to do what you suggest | 04:39 |
| lambs | owh: Also when I put in my widnows 8 disk and click install and I put in the key, it says theres an error as if its still in use or something | 04:40 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | owh: Virtualization didn't work for heavy process ... like 3D Drawings ... | 04:41 |
| owh | lambs: I cannot help you with Windows errors. I do not have that information. | 04:41 |
| owh | Zeh_Gordinho: I use it daily, since 2009, as my primary desktop with no issues. | 04:41 |
| owh | Zeh_Gordinho: Most of the things like 3D drawings is about graphics performance, not Virtualization. | 04:42 |
| lambs | owh: So how do i go about getting windows back? | 04:42 |
| owh | lambs: Do you have any data on the drive right now that you care about? | 04:42 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | owh: yes ... performance in virtualization is worse than use Windows directly ... | 04:43 |
| lambs | owh: Like I said earlier, theres nothing I extremely need but i would prefer to keep it. But if I must get rid of it to fix this then I will | 04:43 |
| holstein | lambs: so, no? | 04:43 |

| holstein | lambs: you have no data? you are ok wiping the driver? | 04:43 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | owh: just solid works I still have to use that bad thing ... | 04:43 |
| holstein | lambs: you are at a point where that information is important.. you need to stop and rescue that data, if needed | 04:44 |
| lambs | holstein: I attempted to wipe my computer via the windows 8 disk but it said "drive partition is missing" | 04:44 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | owh: I have tried lots of ways to usa solid on ubuntu ... or kubuntu ... but any worked ... do you use something like this ? | 04:44 |
| holstein | lambs: so, you are ok wiping the drive then? since you tried to wipe it? | 04:45 |
| owh | Zeh_Gordinho: This is a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic. Right now I'm trying to focus on lamb's issue. | 04:45 |

| minipony | hello all | 04:45 |
| owh | lambs: How did you install Ubuntu the first time? | 04:45 |
| owh | lambs: Did you boot from a CD, a USB stick, from within Windows? | 04:46 |
| lambs | owh: i booted it from a USB | 04:46 |
| Zeh_Gordinho | owh: ok ... i will join that channel ... I didn't know it ... Thanks ... | 04:46 |
| owh | lambs: Boot from that USB again. | 04:46 |
| owh | lambs: When you have, come back to us. | 04:46 |
| lambs | owh: i have already | 04:46 |
| owh | lambs: So you're currently running that USB? | 04:47 |
| lambs | owh: I believe so | 04:47 |
| owh | Hmm. Wonder how you'd tell? | 04:48 |
| lambs | owh: how i would tell what? | 04:48 |
| owh | lambs: If you're really booted from USB, or from your installed drive. | 04:48 |
| holstein | lambs: reboot, with no sticks or cd's in the machine... | 04:49 |
| owh | holstein: That would work :-) | 04:49 |
| holstein | :) | 04:49 |
| lambs | holstein: I have done that, ubuntu doesnt open and neither does anything else | 04:49 |
| owh | lambs: What do you see when you do that? | 04:49 |
| owh | lambs: Does it say missing OS, or something like that? | 04:50 |
| owh | s/Does/Did/ | 04:50 |
| lambs | own: I can't quite remember what it says, i can reboot and check if you would like | 04:51 |
| owh | lambs: Nevermind. | 04:51 |
| owh | lambs: Open up a terminal. | 04:51 |
| lambs | owh: ok | 04:51 |
| owh | type: sudo -s <Enter> | 04:51 |
| owh | lambs: ^ | 04:52 |
| lambs | owh: done | 04:52 |
| owh | lambs: Type: cfdisk /dev/sda <Enter> | 04:52 |
| lambs | owh: its giving some warning | 04:53 |
| owh | lambs: What does it say? | 04:53 |
| lambs | owh: "warning!! Unsuppored GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected. Use GNU parted." | 04:53 |
| owh | Bork. | 04:54 |
| owh | lambs: Close the terminal, open gparted. | 04:54 |
| lambs | owh: ok | 04:54 |
| owh | lambs: In each partition, right click on it and select "Unmount" | 04:55 |
| owh | lambs: Make sure you're doing that on /dev/sda | 04:55 |
| owh | lambs: If it's not mounted, don't worry. Not all of them will be. | 04:55 |
| lambs | owh: it's showing 3, and it doesnt say unmount when i right click on any of them | 04:56 |
| owh | lambs: Excellent. Try to delete each one. | 04:57 |
| lambs | owh: delete each one? what will that do? | 04:57 |
| owh | lambs: It will destroy the partition table on the drive, removing any hope of recovering data from the drive. It will also empty the drive and hopefully the Windows 8 installer won't be braindead enough to deal with an empty drive. | 04:58 |
| lambs | owh: okay i deleted them | 04:58 |
| owh | lambs: Now write the changes to disk. IIRC, the command is in the Edit menu. | 04:58 |
| lambs | owh: how do i do that? | 04:59 |
| owh | lambs: One of the menu options is "Write changes", or "Apply changes", or something like that. | 04:59 |
| lambs | owh: apply all operations? | 05:00 |
| owh | lambs: Yup | 05:00 |
| lambs | owh: done | 05:00 |
| owh | holstein: Recon we need to dd the first block to zero also? | 05:00 |
| lambs | owh: is that all or is there more? | 05:01 |
| owh | lambs: Hold on. | 05:01 |
| lambs | owh: okay sorry | 05:01 |
| * owh pokes holstein. | 05:02 | |
| owh | Nevermind. lambs, before we do more, try to boot your Windows installer. | 05:03 |
| lambs | owh: okay then I will be back to let you know | 05:04 |
| owh | :-) | 05:04 |
| owh | lambs: Good luck. | 05:04 |

| owh | Yup | 05:12 |
| lambs | owh: I am sorry to tell you but it didnt work | 05:12 |
| owh | lambs: What did it do? | 05:12 |
| lambs | owh: I first tried using the windows 8 disk that came with my computer but refreshing it or the other thing didnt work | 05:14 |
| arfent | You know | 05:14 |
| lambs | owh: it still said that the drive is locked or the dive partition is missing | 05:15 |
| owh | lambs: Alright. | 05:15 |
| owh | lambs: Bigger hammer. | 05:15 |
| owh | lambs: Open up a terminal. | 05:15 |
| owh | lambs: type sudo -s <Enter> | 05:15 |
| lambs | owh: also I wanted to say I appreciate you doing this for me | 05:16 |
| arfent | You know, on ubuntu it's possible to make password input as stars by doing sudo visudo. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to do this when entering passphrases into specific programs in terminal, like gpg, to get to show the passphrase as stars or as the letters themselves even | 05:16 |
| owh | lambs: Happy to help. | 05:16 |
| lambs | owh: okay i typed it | 05:16 |
| owh | lambs: So you now see a "#", rather than a "$" right? | 05:17 |
| lambs | owh: also I am afraid I might not be able to reinstall windows because the key i enter isnt working or something | 05:17 |
| lambs | owh: yes | 05:17 |
| owh | lambs: Type this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | 05:17 |
| lambs | owh: done | 05:18 |

| lambs | owh: okay 1 sec | 05:19 |
| hello_kitty | what is the difference between '/sbin/start myapp' and 'start myapp' ? | 05:20 |
| Beldar | lambs, How many times has that key been used? | 05:20 |
| owh | hello_kitty: That depends on the output of this command: which start | 05:20 |
| hello_kitty | owh, /sbin/start ;) ty | 05:21 |
| owh | :) | 05:21 |
| Beldar | lambs, In other words, how many install reinstalls | 05:21 |
| hello_kitty | so if I wanted to allow a git post-receive hook to start/stop a webapp -- would i thne add admin ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/start myapp-service /sbin/stop myapp-service to visudo? or is that crazy talk | 05:22 |
| owh | hello_kitty: It doesn't sound crazy, but that doesn't make it so. | 05:23 |
| owh | hello_kitty: Does the webapp need to run as root? | 05:23 |
| hello_kitty | owh, i'm pretty new to ubuntu, but the webapp appears to run fine as my normal non-root user | 05:24 |
| hello_kitty | the post-receive hook on git that i use to publish also runes as my non-root user, but it doesnt seem to be able to run 'stop myapp' | 05:24 |
| hello_kitty | it does everything else fine though | 05:25 |
| owh | hello_kitty: I'd set-up a user for just that webapp and control that, rather than doing it as root. | 05:25 |
| hello_kitty | is there a way to get a user other than root to be able to run the upstart start/stop commands? | 05:25 |
| owh | hello_kitty: Just out of curiosity, why would a git post-receive need to restart the webapp? | 05:26 |
| hello_kitty | the webapps are in node.js, and changing the source files is insufficient to render new changes (i guess it compiles and says in memory, or something) | 05:27 |
| hello_kitty | *stays in memory | 05:27 |
| * owh is trying to think of another example where that might be true, so we can find out how they did it ;-) | 05:28 | |
| owh | hello_kitty: Does the webapp support reload? | 05:28 |
| Bray90820 | How would I do this in the terminal Extract the process names from a file and use a filtering command to sort and uniquely display the process names | 05:28 |
| owh | Bray90820: Homework again? | 05:29 |
| hello_kitty | owh, my control of the webapp is entirely via upstart, which daemonizes node -- otherwise it is just running nodejs app.js from terminal | 05:30 |

| hello_kitty | i started down the visudo path after finding this: http://superuser.com/questions/745762/how-to-execute-commands-as-root-in-git-post-receive-hook though i wasnt sure if it was fundamentally a good idea or not | 05:30 |

| nd | owh can you suggest some ways my alsamixer is not working i tried renstalin reloading evrything | 05:31 |
| owh | hello_kitty: Hmm. I cannot say I'm convinced. | 05:31 |
| hello_kitty | owh, i also end up making new apps and connecting them to upstart (and monit) at the rate of several per week... it woudl be nice not be adding dozens of permissions to visudo | 05:32 |
| hello_kitty | i'm pretty new to ubuntu, its fully possible that im missing more obvious options | 05:33 |

| owh | lambs: Yup. | 05:36 |
| lambs | I wanna ask you something | 05:36 |
| lambs | owh: first off, I have been going to the bios stuff when my computer is starting up and changing my boot thing there, should i be doing that? | 05:37 |
| owh | lambs: If you need to swap between USB, CD and HDD, probably. | 05:37 |
| nd | owh lambs can any one of u suggest me some ways regarding no sound issue in my ubuntu | 05:38 |

| kolkoprt | Hi guys. I have an issue. Spellcheck in libreoffice in 12.04 (it's default, not the ppa version) doesn't work even though i have aspell and my local language pack installed. Any help? | 05:38 |
| owh | nd, people will respond if they have an answer. There are 1636 people here, some of whom can help you. Ask your question, tell us what you've tried and see what happens. | 05:39 |
| Beldar | lambs, Are you trying to use the key on the computers tag? | 05:39 |
| owh | lambs: What do you mean, "refresh or reset" | 05:39 |
| lambs | owh: well when I run the windows 8 disk I can refresh or reset my pc (resetting removes everything) | 05:41 |
| nd | alsamixer is not responding | 05:41 |
| owh | lambs: It's already gone, so yes. Also Beldar has been asking you about keys which could be extremely relevant. | 05:41 |
| hello_kitty | owh, interesting that adding sudo -u myuser service mysite.com stop *seems* to run fine from within the post-receive script.. needs a litle mroe testing | 05:41 |
| lambs | owh: so i would need to reinstall windows 8? | 05:42 |
| owh | nd, that is not a question. | 05:42 |
| owh | lambs: Isn't that what you've been trying to do? | 05:42 |
| yanpenn | how to show hidden/dot files in vifm | 05:43 |
| owh | hello_kitty: Seems logical, since you're going to be triggering it by playing with git. Not sure if it would work if you're automagically running git commands on a cron-job for example. | 05:43 |
| lambs | owh: I'm not sure, i thought we earased all the data from it but it was still installed | 05:43 |

| owh | lambs: No, what are you trying to install Windows from? | 05:44 |
| lambs | owh: the windows 8 disk that came with my desktop | 05:44 |
| owh | lambs: So, when you boot from that, you can run the installer. Did you look at Beldar's questions? | 05:45 |
| nd | okhay i typed alsamixer in terminal it shows no such directory y it happening? | 05:45 |
| owh | student: Which OS do you want to remove, from where, using what OS, in what way. | 05:45 |
| kolkoprt | anyone? | 05:45 |

| student | owh | 05:47 |
| student | owh | 05:47 |
| kolkoprt | student: just format the drive you have the os installed on | 05:47 |
| student | i have 2 Os in that drive | 05:47 |

| hello_kitty | thanks for the help owh :) | 05:48 |
| lambs | beldar: how else would i do it? | 05:48 |
| owh | hello_kitty: Hope it worked. | 05:48 |

| yanpenn | owh:thanks,"zo" is typed directly,but not in the column,it works | 05:49 |
| owh | yanpenn: Glad it worked for you. | 05:50 |
| kolkoprt | student: what's your partition table and what do you want to delete | 05:50 |

| owh | lambs: When you boot your Windows 8 installer disk, what options to you have to install Windows? | 05:51 |
| owh | nd, do you have any .wav files on your computer? | 05:51 |
| student | C,E,D and i want to remove windows | 05:52 |
| lambs | owh: there not that many options, just to install or to run the troubleshooter | 05:52 |
| owh | student: Do you want to remove Windows while you're running Windows? | 05:52 |
| student | yes | 05:52 |
| owh | lambs: Exactly two options or more? | 05:52 |
| owh | student: I'd ask that in #windows | 05:53 |
| lambs | owh: well the "refresh and reset" stuff I was talking about earlier were under troubleshooter, but yes 2 | 05:54 |
| owh | lambs: It's beginning to sound like a Windows specific issue, not any longer to do with Ubuntu. | 05:55 |
| student | owh: what should i do? | 05:55 |
| lambs | owh: well i thought you could still help me out after everything we've been through, but i guess i could try windows support | 05:56 |
| owh | lambs: I suspect if the Install option doesn't work, which makes no sense to me, then the only alternative you have is to choose the other option and to go through them one at a time. | 05:56 |
| owh | lambs: I am not familiar with Windows 8. I stopped paying attention at Windows XP. | 05:56 |
| nd | owh yes i have | 05:56 |
| owh | nd: What happens if you type: play <.wav> | 05:57 |

| lambs | owh: i have been googling like a mad man | 06:02 |
| owh | lambs: I understand your frustration, but I'm not able to help. The basic problem appears to be that your installer is broken. The repair option might allow you to boot into a DOS-like window where you might be able to format the drive. You may need to run fdisk from within that, reboot, then format the drive, then run the installer. | 06:03 |

| mozzarella | download_porn_from_clipboard which is an executable inside ~/bin (sorry for the file name, btw) | 07:48 |
| somsip | mozzarella: possibly the path to ~/bin isn't exported to Run, whereas it is exported to a running terminal. Try using the full path /home/mozzarella/bin/download... | 07:50 |

| ServerSage | Hey folks, a few hours ago I ran 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and things were flying along. About 10 minutes ago it go to the grub stuff and has hung on "Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin". The load is 0, no CPU is being used, and there is no drive IO. What does one do when this happens? | 09:17 |
| ServerSage | Oh, FYI this was going from 13.10 to 14.04 | 09:17 |
| StaRetji | Hello folks, how can I give mysql user root privileges (it is local machine, so I have no worries for security) | 09:19 |
| StaRetji | thanks | 09:19 |
| ServerSage | Actually, it looks like it's stuck on setting up mdadm. :/ Which, of course, I need. | 09:19 |
| cfhowlett | ServerSage if this is a server, might want to ask #ubuntu-server. You could torrrent the 14.04 ISO and install | 09:21 |
| StaRetji | editing /etc/sudoers with mysql ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL doesn't help. I have a trigger that is set to run script in /root/somescript.sh | 09:22 |
| StaRetji | same script works if in /tmp/somescript.sh but it wont from /root | 09:22 |
| StaRetji | now, I can't change trigger so I need to make it able to run from root directory | 09:23 |
| ServerSage | cfhowlett: I'm not sure installing from ISO is really needed. I'm sure I can ctrl-c it and finish the install. Installing from the ISO seems extreme. | 09:23 |
| Ben64 | StaRetji: then give mysql user access to that file/directory | 09:23 |
| StaRetji | Ben64: thanks for reply. How to do that? is chown mysql:mysql sufficient? | 09:26 |
| TJ- | ServerSage: Use an additional terminal to look at the upgrade logs: "/var/log/dist-upgrade/" I *think* ... you might find additional info towards the end of one or more log-files to clue you into why it has stalled. Possibly its the /etc/grub.d/ scripts confused | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | StaRetji: would be easier to give the file and directory 777 permissions, but that is a potential security risk, which you don't seem to care about anyway | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | TJ-: Yeah, I was actually just going down that path. Looks like some legacy grub1 crap laying about that is confusing it. | 09:27 |
| StaRetji | Ben64: thank you ;) | 09:28 |

| nikolam | I have a problem with sharing Wireless connection (client, PCI card) to LAN. It used to work OK since recently, and now it does not work anymore, e.g. I need to manually bring down LAN interface (named p5p1) and bring it up again in network manager tray GUI, so it could share Internet to Lan again. | 09:56 |
| nikolam | Previously (13.10 64bit) it worked after booting up, now it does not work sharing internet after restart by default | 09:57 |
| pc_magas | nikolam, Hos is wireless network is configured | 09:57 |

| Radon_3 | alright, sorry folks for asking this again, my firefox dies on me and I had to update the BIOS of the system, also to scan something withclamav | 10:03 |
| Radon_3 | now my problem | 10:03 |
| epsilon1 | May i post xrandr command's output here (pastebin link)? I don't know what the current refresh rate is. | 10:03 |
| epsilon1 | what does "1920x1080 60.0*+ " exactly mean? | 10:05 |
| the_bz | the 60.0* at the end is refresh rate in Hz AFAIK | 10:06 |
| Radon_3 | I am trying to install http://support.kaspersky.com/kes8linux downloaded from http://www.kaspersky.com/product-updates/linux-endpoint-security and I get this error http://tny.cz/b2e88dd4 , should I just continue with the installation or it is not advised? Also I have installed clamav and when I scan my windows directory with it it gives me a lot | 10:06 |
| Radon_3 | of virues showing up in there something about 500 items | 10:06 |
| nikolam | pc_magas, here are wireless configuration screenshots: https://mega.co.nz/#F!O9wGFAaL!bJyRVKwmI3zxU6y7td8yKQ | 10:06 |
| Radon_3 | so should I continue with installing kaspersky or not? | 10:06 |
| nikolam | so LAN (p5pi) is coming up after restart, it just does nto share internet connection anymore | 10:07 |
| epsilon1 | <the_bz>: ok, this is the refresh rate in this moment or is it the optimal one? | 10:07 |
| Radon_3 | anyone? | 10:08 |
| RubixRex | have you tried clamav ? | 10:09 |
| the_bz | I think it's the current one but someone else needs to confirm | 10:09 |
| nikolam | Radon_3, you should contact vendor and ask what to do, since it is their product. It is at your own risk. | 10:10 |
| epsilon1 | the_bz: that is my question, is it the current refresh rate or is it the optimal one? | 10:10 |
| Radon_3 | yeah, I am afraid if it might not be as affactive as kaspesky based on detection rate comparisons, also as I said earlier when I scan my win7 directory with it it gives me a list of about 500 viruses and malwares, which I am afraid to remove thinking that they might be false positives | 10:10 |
| xw | Is there any way to add a progress bar to dd? | 10:10 |
| the_bz | define "optimal" | 10:11 |
| pc_magas | nikolam, did you set the ethernet connection as "Share with other computers" in Ipv4 Settings? | 10:11 |
| nikolam | pc_magas, Yes. And it worked that way since recently. | 10:11 |
| Radon_3 | what should I do people? should I remove all the things clamav shows up as bad applications, or should I continue installing kaspersky? | 10:12 |
| nikolam | pc_magas, it also work after I manually brong down and bring up LAN in GUI | 10:12 |
| qin | xw: prpbably, or you can df output and translate to percent. | 10:12 |
| xw | qin: how do I invoke such magic? | 10:13 |
| larrypg | Radon_3, why not just run a windows anti-malware from within windows? | 10:13 |
| qin | xw: or less responsible way: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-dd-command-show-progress-while-coping/ | 10:13 |
| xw | I am very responsible, but I will use the method in that link | 10:14 |
| xw | qin: thank you | 10:14 |
| qin | xw: man df; | 10:14 |
| Radon_3 | larrypg: Cause I hae come a long way to be a t a somewhat secure point and secure from possible windows rootkits, plus windows antiviruses that I have tried all say windows is totally clean: AVAST, AVIRA, comodo, symantec, housecall, vipre | 10:14 |
| Radon_3 | strengthening the idea that Imight be affected with a rootkit | 10:14 |
| Radon_3 | oh, forgot AVG in that list up there | 10:15 |
| nikolam | xw, I think I just googled you can use 'pv' command for that.http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-dd-command-show-progress-while-coping/ | 10:15 |
| Radon_3 | they all say windows is clean | 10:15 |
| Radon_3 | ofcourse from withing windows | 10:15 |
| Radon_3 | but in Ubuntu things differ a lot | 10:15 |

| Radon_3 | ActionParsnip: how can i do that? | 10:23 |
| w4|k3r | Had a question for ubuntu touch | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Radon_3: install a 32bit deb, then run: sudo apt-get -f install it should pull in the rest | 10:24 |
| w4|k3r | It is written in the ubuntu touch page that the support for maguro device is under maintenance | 10:24 |
| nikolam | Radon_3, Newer Ubuntus changes the way they handle 32bit .debs. So vendors who provide binary-only applications need to repack them. Ask vendor to repack application, use another or run older Ubuntu in Virtual machine. | 10:24 |
| red234324 | calling shell script $> myscript.sh param how to access param within myscript.sh ? | 10:24 |
| w4|k3r | The maintenance part has got me confused | 10:24 |
| the_ant | is it safe to change $IFS value? | 10:25 |
| Radon_3 | nope, I downloaded the package again thinking it might be corrupted or something but no I can't run the new file either, the same problem | 10:25 |
| nikolam | Radon_3, Linux does not proide binary compatibility across releases and vendors should know that. | 10:25 |
| Radon_3 | apparently doesn't know that | 10:26 |
| Radon_3 | apparently kaspersky doesn't know that | 10:26 |

| nikolam | Radon_3, that is the questioin for Virtualization you use. I think you should use Virtualbox for starters. It can use physical partition, but it is tricky to set up. see #vbox | 10:30 |
| nikolam | pc_magas, ok, I ll be back later, but that is info I got so far. | 10:31 |
| nikolam | Maybe things would change if i migrate to 14.04, but will see. | 10:31 |
| Radon_3 | ok, I have got something on kaspersky installation manual which reads like this: "Before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you need to install the glibc package (64-bit operating systems require the | 10:32 |
| Radon_3 | 32-bit version of glibc)." does that mean that if I get a 32bit version of glibc installed i will be able to install the package with no problems? | 10:32 |
| nikolam | Radon_3, yes, and that is manual for older Ubuntu releases... | 10:32 |

| w4|k3r | sree: because I found this : http://devgurus.amd.com/thread/168515 | 10:48 |
| Radon_3 | oh wait, it does tell you about your vga card data in the PCI section | 10:48 |
| Radon_3 | yes definitelly install hardinfo man | 10:48 |
| Radon_3 | sree: install it for sure | 10:48 |
| Radon_3 | it tells you everything | 10:48 |
| w4|k3r | 14.3 Beta drivers for AMD installed? | 10:49 |
| philinux | As well as hardinfo there's the sysinfo package too | 10:55 |
| w4|k3r | glxinfo should also give us some more information | 10:56 |
| sree | w4|k3r, sorry network issue | 10:57 |
| Radon_3 | Ok, a very stupid question, how can I check and see if the engines of ubuntu are all running fine? I mean is there a way I could check and see if everything is alright with everything in my ubuntu? | 10:57 |
| w4|k3r | no probs sree | 10:57 |
| w4|k3r | Radon_3: engines? you mean the CPU cores? | 10:58 |
| sree | w4|k3r, fglrx updated | 10:58 |
| Radon_3 | w4|k3r: no I meant the kernel of the system, I mean more like everything | 10:58 |
| sree | w4|k3r, fglrxinfo is showing Error | 10:59 |
| sree | unable to open dispaly(null) | 10:59 |
| Radon_3 | I want to check all the important parts of the system with some trustable online resourse and see if everyhing is original and right in place | 11:00 |
| w4|k3r | sree: That means something is wrong with the drivers that have been installed for fgrlx | 11:01 |
| sree | w4|k3r, so need to reinstall | 11:01 |
| sree | ? | 11:01 |
| w4|k3r | sree: Hold on, are you getting this error : Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! | 11:02 |
| Radon_3 | gotta powerdown the system there is this whizzing sound coming from the case I have to check what it is, brb | 11:02 |
| sree | w4|k3r, no for fglrxinfo | 11:02 |
| w4|k3r | Okay, I think we will have to remove everything related to fgrlxinfo and reinstall | 11:04 |

| rigo | hi. i put a debian to a d-link dns-320 nas with lxde desktop and i try to download via filezilla but the speed bounces from 0 to 1400 kbyte/sec. what can be the problem? driver issue, or overheating/not enough memory? | 11:19 |
| w4|k3r | sree: Sorry, war thing | 11:20 |
| w4|k3r | *was working on another thing | 11:20 |
| sree | w4|k3r, no problem | 11:20 |
| w4|k3r | Okay, let's see - check the packages repository - you can see them if you have synaptic package manager installed or Ubuntu Software Center | 11:21 |
| TomyWork | the problem is, i can only do one of the updates a night (cant use the company line for stuff like this during the work day) | 11:21 |
| w4|k3r | See if all the package repos(universe and multiverse) are enabled or not | 11:21 |
| TomyWork | so in essence i wouldn't have a workable system for a day | 11:22 |
| sree | sorry w4|k3r .I can't see even my login my window | 11:23 |
| TomyWork | is going from 13.04 to 14.04 just not tested and thus not officially supported or are there actual known issues with it? | 11:23 |

| zetheroo1 | llutz: but it's a security risk ... right!? | 12:08 |
| llutz | zetheroo1: installing from 3rd party always is | 12:08 |
| zetheroo1 | ok | 12:08 |
| llutz | zetheroo1: the permission issues you pasted relate to the package, not the software | 12:09 |
| llutz | zetheroo1: but if a dev not even can build a clean deb.... | 12:09 |
| TJ- | Comviqhelpty: No, that's not what I was asking. 3G devices present themselves over USB as different types of devices. One mode is to present a serial port (like an RS232 UART) like traditional external modems. A newer way is to present a pure (CDC) Ethernet port. For the latter, the NetworkManager Mobile Broadband options don't see it, since is seen as a "Wired Ethernet" port and gets an ethX style name | 12:09 |
| zetheroo1 | llutz: would you know of any LAN chat software that works well across Linux (Ubuntu), Windows and Mac? | 12:10 |
| Comviqhelpty | TJ: the network manager does not see it, but with proper setup i know people have got the network manager to see it | 12:10 |

| llutz | zetheroo1: nope | 12:10 |
| ulkesh | zetheroo1: IRC? :) | 12:10 |
| TomyWork | alternatively, can i pre-download all (or at least the majority) of the package files i would need from 13.04 to 13.10 and from 13.10 to 14.04? | 12:10 |
| === nixon is now known as Guest60576 | ||
| zetheroo1 | ulkesh: maybe ... we tried that and it was ok ... just some users were having a hard time with it ... maybe we should re-visit that option | 12:11 |
| TJ- | Comviqhelpty: Yes, so it probably should present as a serial port. Monitor the kernel log whilst connecting the device, see if the USB ID changes as usb_modeswitch flips it | 12:11 |
| llutz | zetheroo1: local xmpp-server + pidgin or whatever client maybe? | 12:12 |
| TJ- | Comviqhelpty: In a terminal monitor the log using "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log" and then plug it in. | 12:12 |
| sree | w4|k3r, do you have network problems? | 12:12 |
| Comviqhelpty | it does change back to default when taking it in and out | 12:12 |

| BrokeJoke | just have ut restarted | 12:12 |
| BrokeJoke | in the network thats donw | 12:12 |
| Comviqhelpty | and when i run modeswitch it does set different setting (not 100% sure) i set it right tho | 12:12 |
| zetheroo1 | llutz: sounds like a possibility. | 12:13 |
| ulkesh | zetheroo1: Yeah it's not the most intuitive, but there are awesome clients for each of those OSes and it seems that with some mild training, they could get used to it...that being said, I expect there's something considerably easier and more IM-like | 12:13 |
| Comviqhelpty | it would be nice if someone who knew this well could teamview me and help me set it up, and if you get it to connect ill pay 0.20 Bitcoins (~60$) | 12:13 |
| ulkesh | zetheroo1: yeah, XMPP is probably better from an IM standpoint and is more intuitive to what users are used to using (redundant usage of "user" :) ) | 12:13 |
| zetheroo1 | ulkesh: yes, the IM style is what we are looking for really ... | 12:14 |

| monoton | hi, I was thinking of filling the installation dvd I'm about to burn, with some other files (I mean the dvd would not even be half full), can I add files to the .iso (without having to remake the iso with genisoimage I mean) | 12:43 |
| InFierno | press DEL / F2 Tto enter bios and it wil be somewhere | 12:43 |
| InFierno | Why burn a DVD | 12:43 |
| InFierno | use usb installer = faster, easy file edits | 12:43 |
| InFierno | and yes poweriso/ultraiso could edit the iso file | 12:44 |
| Guest88325 | ndfb.arg | 12:45 |
| www2 | hi i don't know that this is a bug but in the upgrade manager don't show some software where this software packets i can view in synaptic | 12:45 |
| sree | InFierno, I have 14.04 DVD.I can't understand you. | 12:45 |
| monoton | InFierno: I actually want to save the dvd for later (and I'm out of usb sticks right now) and instead of just put the .iso file on the dvd togheter with other files I want to move to dvd was thinking of having it bootable when I'm at it :-) | 12:46 |
| mintgreen_ | Rory: done now,thanx | 12:46 |
| monoton | I look for poweriso or ultraiso then | 12:46 |
| hebz0rl | philinux, nevermind the command is 'gnome-session-quit --reboot' but thx for your help | 12:47 |
| philinux | hebz0rl;~ yeah just been readng man gnome-sessio-quit | 12:48 |
| monoton | oh. poweriso and ultraiso is windowsprograms.... I don't do that os | 12:50 |
| monoton | maybe I'm overthinking this... perhaps I can just mount the iso in linux and just add files to it? | 12:51 |
| rzx237 | monoton: no, when mounting iso file, it is mounted read-only | 12:52 |
| JohnDory | monoton: from when I've used a cow fs, I've had to redo the entire image. You could create a read/write loopback device and copy and modify that (eh I think, it was a while ago I did this) | 12:54 |
| varunendra | monoton, "ISO Master" (package isomaster) is freely and natively available in Ubuntu repositories, and does the same thing you want (maintains boot-sector while changing contents). But I'm not sure if the resulting ISO will correctly boot or not after adding the additional files. Probably try and see for yourself. | 12:56 |
| sree | InFierno, solved my problem | 13:03 |
| InFierno | sorry had to grab a work call | 13:05 |
| InFierno | but dont get why you dont just burn as needed and USB it :) less effort tbh | 13:06 |

| sebastianlutter | are there install iso images available for 14.04 desktop (amd64) that are less than 700 MB (cdr) in size? Only found a ~900MB image, is there a netinstall or something similar? | 13:33 |
| llutz | !mini | 13:34 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:34 |
| huchenxi | no one? | 13:34 |
| DJones | sebastianlutter: The only smaller image is the minimal install, the old cd sized iso's were discontinued because they were too restrictive in the software that could be included | 13:35 |
| sebastianlutter | DJones, thanks, I'll search for that. Or maybe I go buy dvdr (that is the reason why I ask) | 13:39 |

| DJones | sebastianlutter: See the bot's link, that might be what you need, but it will need an internet connection to download the packages it needs during install | 13:40 |
| llutz | joelio_: those naming the devices "emX" have "Consistent Network Device Naming" enabled, those with ethX haven't | 13:41 |
| joelio_ | llutz: ok, so Dell installs (320, 720 whatever) install correctly as em1 and em2 - hp installs install as em1 and eth2 - they have the same cards - last octet only different in MAC address | 13:42 |

| Lachezar | How can I work this around? | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Lachezar: which 'older repository' ? | 13:47 |
| Lachezar | ActionParsnip: I think 12.04 or something like that: sun-java5-jdk_1.5.0-22-0ubuntu0.8.04_amd64.deb | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Lachezar: ok and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 13:48 |

| ActionParsnip | Lachezar: why 'duh'? | 13:48 |
| Lachezar | ActionParsnip: No, no, no. I need the 1.5, and it has to be Sun's one, before being Oracle's | 13:48 |

| Lachezar | ActionParsnip: I'm migrating from 13.10 to 14.04 and found out these packages are explicitly marked as 'breaks' to my surprise. | 13:49 |
| SP33D | hello frinds can some one plz tell me whats needed to use the .ssh/config file? | 13:49 |
| Simodium | may I upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS? | 13:50 |
| Rory | SP33D: Take a look here for some examples of what you can do with it: http://nerderati.com/2011/03/simplify-your-life-with-an-ssh-config-file/ | 13:50 |
| SP33D | do i need to run the ssh agent ? normal ssh command works but he don't utils the .ssh/config | 13:50 |
| k1l | Simodium: the official LTS to LTS upgrade will be opened on 24th july. but you can use the developers upgrade | 13:50 |
| A_I_ | thanks ActionParsnip | 13:50 |
| SP33D | i have such a simple file on a realy blank system | 13:50 |
| Rory | SP33D: Use ssh -v to see more information on what SSH is doing | 13:50 |
| Rory | SP33D: Could you show the file, and an example output of trying to use it, but with "ssh -v" instead of just "ssh" ? | 13:51 |
| Rory | SP33D: Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel | 13:51 |
| SP33D | the file works well | 13:51 |
| SP33D | its not the problem of the file its a blank system | 13:51 |
| SP33D | nothing runs at it | 13:51 |
| SP33D | no deamons not even upstart | 13:51 |
| Rory | What's the ssh config file got to do with that? | 13:51 |
| SP33D | so i need to know what do i need to start so that the file gets used from the ssh command | 13:52 |
| Rory | Oh I see what you mean. You only need openssh-client package | 13:52 |
| SP33D | i think it don't gets used becaus i don't started ssh key agent | 13:52 |
| Rory | You don't need the key agent to use the ssh config file | 13:52 |
| Rory | It's parsed every time ssh is invoked on the command-line | 13:52 |
| SP33D | but i will need it becaus i use a key file to auth in the config | 13:53 |
| SP33D | ah ok then its probally a permission issu | 13:53 |
| Simodium | please tell me more about developers upgrade (or show me some guide) | 13:53 |
| Rory | You don't need to use ssh-agent. Why don't you try it, and see the output of "ssh -v" | 13:53 |
| SP33D | ya i will do so | 13:53 |
| helmut_ | hi | 13:53 |
| SP33D | thx its a jailed env | 13:53 |
| Rory | SP33D: If you show me an example of it not working, I can probably point you in the right direction | 13:53 |

| tailcalled | module000: http://pastebin.com/cVDE5Tzn | 14:28 |
| LordDeath | is /usr/lib/firefox/browser wrong? | 14:28 |
| LordDeath | for the mozilla.cfg? | 14:28 |
| Ufkrby | ~/.mozilla | 14:28 |
| LordDeath | Ufkrby: not for the current users | 14:29 |
| tailcalled | module000: is that bad? | 14:29 |
| module000 | tailcalled: your glib isn't broken, that's a good sign. try strace'ing your sudo command to see exactly where your segfault occurs | 14:29 |
| LordDeath | I need this for all users | 14:29 |
| module000 | tailcalled: no that's good, the output you pasted is what you want to see | 14:29 |

| module000 | tailcalled: if you have a while to wait, you can also run `dpkg -V` to verify your installed packages actually are installed correctly. it takes a long time to run on a spinning disk, but it should discovery anything that broke in your upgrade | 14:30 |
| Warroriz | Hey | 14:30 |

| tailcalled | module000: http://pastebin.com/phcBCZvk | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDeath: you'd need to manually copy it over for the current users | 14:31 |
| LordDeath | the mozilla wiki says that this mozilla.cfg should be in the installation directory and not in the profile directries | 14:31 |
| dinogreen_rex | hi | 14:31 |
| module000 | tailcalled: type "grep nosuid /etc/fstab", you shouldn't see anything returned | 14:32 |
| module000 | tailcalled: also, "grep nosuid /etc/mtab" | 14:32 |
| module000 | tailcalled: actually you will see some stuff returned, but we don't want to see your root mountpoint in that list | 14:32 |
| llutz | LordDeath: most likely /usr/lib/firefox/(browser/) | 14:32 |

| module000 | tailcalled: that looks good. next is "grep 140 /etc/passwd" | 14:34 |
| tailcalled | module000: no output | 14:35 |
| module000 | tailcalled: good. have you rebooted since your upgrade? | 14:35 |
| tailcalled | module000: well, apparently I'm stupid, brb | 14:35 |
| tailcalled | module000: still broken | 14:42 |
| module000 | tailcalled: what is the output of `ls -lh /usr/bin/sudo` | 14:43 |
| tailcalled | module000: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 152K Feb 10 20:16 /usr/bin/sudo | 14:43 |
| module000 | tailcalled: that looks correct... my advice is to boot into single user mode and run dpkg -V as root | 14:44 |
| tailcalled | how do I boot into single user mode? | 14:45 |
| tailcalled | module000: whoops, forgot naming | 14:46 |

| module000 | tailcalled: at the grub prompt, add the parameter "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel line. that will drop you directly into a root shell | 14:49 |
| jmadero | morning all - having a really weird problem | 14:49 |
| SuperJinJa | hi | 14:49 |
| module000 | tailcalled: in a nutshell...that says that instead of running "init"(which boots up your system), it should run "sh"(a bare bones shell) as the first thing. hence, you get a prompt to a wide open system | 14:49 |
| tailcalled | module000: I'll try to figure it out, brb | 14:49 |
| jmadero | I have two languages installed, English shows up for almost everything but not for my login screen nor some other random things (like synaptic) which appear in Telugu | 14:49 |

| usrb1n | Hello, is there an easy way to let a user have a folder on apache's www dir?. I have the user foo and I want him to be able to write his site on /var/www/foo | 15:00 |
| usrb1n | If I chown the directory, apache is not able to access it | 15:00 |

| llutz | usrb1n: chmod 755 it | 15:00 |
| trisquel | i need help downloading video | 15:01 |
| TJ- | usrb1n: Yes, use apache's mod_user so the user can use ~/public_html/ for their own site | 15:01 |
| whoever | hi all is there an issue with rhythmbox ? when I try to install it , it will not install siting dependancies | 15:02 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest92709 | ||

| nd | ubantu 14.4 is ready to download or still under development i want stable version not beta | 15:03 |
| nd | sreekumar | 15:04 |
| daftykins | nd: never heard of ubantu, ubuntu 14.04 has been out for a while now though | 15:04 |
| nd | daftykins thanx fella sudo intall spell cheker :p | 15:05 |
| nd | daftykins i want stable one | 15:05 |
| Rory | whoever: What is the full error please? | 15:06 |
| Rory | whoever: Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel | 15:06 |
| daftykins | nd: go ahead and download it from ubuntu.com | 15:06 |
| jmadero | no thoughts on why my language settings are all screwed up | 15:06 |
| jmadero | ? | 15:06 |
| nd | daftykins one last question is it beta version i mean not stable one | 15:07 |
| llutz | nd: 14.04 is the latest release, considered to be stable | 15:07 |
| Rory | jmadero: Can you select the correct language from the login screen? | 15:07 |
| Rory | nd: Ubuntu 14.04 is the latest release, and it's definitely the best one to get in my opinion; it will be supported for I think 5 years | 15:07 |
| jmadero | Rory: select a language? (side note I use GDM) | 15:07 |
| jmadero | Rory: and remember it's also affecting some software like synaptic | 15:08 |
| daftykins | jmadero: someone recently was asking about login screen language, you need to change the order of languages in some program somewhere to get it to pick your preferred as default | 15:08 |
| mheinke | !morning! | 15:08 |
| trisquel | how can i download a secure video stream | 15:08 |
| daftykins | jmadero: oh wait you mean displayed language not keyboard layout? | 15:08 |
| trisquel | encrypted video stream | 15:09 |
| jmadero | daftykins: indeed | 15:09 |
| nd | alsa mixer is not workin my ubuntu is not makin any sound plus i lost my volume control key from right upeer part of desktop | 15:09 |
| jmadero | it's very weird | 15:09 |
| daftykins | ah sorry no idea on that one then | 15:09 |
| llutz | nd: your support question is? | 15:09 |
| jmadero | llutz: "how do I get my sound working again" ;) | 15:09 |
| jmadero | I think that's reading between the lines | 15:09 |

| nd | llutz ive saucy salamnder and its not makin any sound | 15:12 |
| jmadero | nd: that's still not really a question | 15:12 |
| jmadero | plus you need to give a lot more info like what sound card do you have | 15:12 |
| jmadero | what have you tried | 15:12 |
| jmadero | etc . . . | 15:12 |
| jmadero | also maybe time to upgrade to 14.04 | 15:12 |
| whoever | Rory: did you get my paste | 15:13 |
| jmadero | did it ever work, and if so, what were you doing when it broke? | 15:13 |
| jmadero | ...my guess is you were purging some package or removing something? | 15:13 |
| whoever | Rory: the point I am tring to make is that previeusly rhythmbox has not had that dependancey issue where it could not reolve dependancis | 15:13 |
| jmadero | isn't that project dead? | 15:14 |
| jmadero | I thought the devs quit | 15:14 |
| nd | jmadero i typed alsa mixer in command line it says no such directory? | 15:14 |
| jmadero | no such directory? um then you did "cd alsa mixer"? | 15:15 |

| ikonia | there is no need for it and it's not welcome | 15:20 |
| z1haze | hi, Im trying to install arma 2 on my dedicated server, does anyone have any experience with installing that on a linux server? | 15:20 |
| z1haze | i did fine a tutorial but it says ill need a GUI, he recommends fluxbox, and also theres a note that its not worth it because WINE only works on a single core.. may I have some help with this? | 15:21 |
| nd | ikonia m not like that but see wts happning above | 15:21 |
| ikonia | nd: that doesn't change anything, please tone down the lanauge | 15:21 |
| ikonia | language too | 15:21 |
| nd | ikonia my alsamixer not making any sound m pissed off | 15:22 |
| nd | saucy is full of bugs | 15:22 |
| jmadero | nd: I was fine on Saucy | 15:22 |
| ikonia | nd: again, I appreciate that's frustrating, but your language is not needed, or welcome, please try to control it and people will help if they can | 15:23 |
| hax | hi | 15:23 |
| hax | so, i killed my ubuntu, i guess. | 15:23 |
| jmadero | hax: I hope you keep your home partition separate? | 15:24 |
| nd | jmadero its full of bugs | 15:24 |
| jmadero | nd: fine | 15:24 |
| jmadero | it's full of bugs that I never experienced | 15:24 |
| jmadero | and I use it every day | 15:24 |
| hax | i accidentally chmodded / to 777 | 15:24 |
| hax | then didnt know what it sj-hould be | 15:24 |
| jmadero | oh that's not broken | 15:25 |
| z1haze | please will someone help with that? | 15:25 |
| hax | and did it 767 | 15:25 |
| jmadero | you just changed permissions | 15:25 |
| DusXMT | hax: as long as you didn't chmod -R 777 it, you should be able to change the permission back | 15:25 |
| z1haze | im not a linux pro i just want to get this running | 15:25 |
| jmadero | z1haze: someone will help if they know the answer | 15:25 |
| hax | and then left the terminal | 15:25 |
| hax | :( | 15:25 |
| jmadero | open terminal back up and just change permissions | 15:25 |
| hax | so, / is now 767 and sudo doen't work | 15:25 |
| hax | doesn't* | 15:25 |
| ikonia | "doesn't work" | 15:25 |
| ikonia | hax: what is the EXACT command you use | 15:25 |
| hax | goeo_@goeoscom:~/Desktop/adir$ sudo su | 15:26 |
| hax | sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: No such file or directory | 15:26 |
| hax | sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting | 15:26 |
| hax | sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin | 15:26 |
| ikonia | hax: what is the exact command you used to set the permissions | 15:26 |
| ikonia | hax: also don't "sudo su" | 15:26 |
| ikonia | it would appear you have done more than change permissions | 15:26 |
| jmadero | yes it would | 15:26 |
| hax | root@goeoscom:/home/goeo_/Desktop/adir# chmod 767 / | 15:27 |
| jmadero | hax: is your home directory on a separate partition - if so just reinstall | 15:27 |
| jmadero | it's fastest | 15:27 |
| ikonia | hax: what about before that | 15:27 |
| jmadero | you can literally do it in 10 minutes | 15:27 |
| ikonia | hax: what was the command before that | 15:27 |
| hax | root@goeoscom:/home/goeo_/Desktop/adir# chmod 777 / | 15:27 |
| hax | ikonia: i never used a different command lol | 15:27 |
| hax | being 767 kills it | 15:28 |
| hax | / being 767* | 15:28 |
| nd | jmadero it doesnt format pendrive it doesnt keep up bookmark places and where did my volume button go from above of desktop | 15:28 |
| nd | no one knows | 15:28 |
| DusXMT | hax: Maybe you can load up a Live CD, mount it and set the permission from there? | 15:28 |
| DusXMT | s/mount it/mount your root drive/ | 15:28 |
| jmadero | nd: like I said I'm agreeing with you, so buggy that I never once saw any problems but yes "so buggy" | 15:28 |
| hax | DusXMT: what is the proper permission? | 15:29 |
| jmadero | nd: if so buggy then just purge it and install 14.04 | 15:29 |
| jmadero | simple | 15:29 |
| DusXMT | hax: On my system, it's 755 | 15:29 |
| jmadero | and hopefully you were smart enough to keep a separate home partition | 15:29 |
| hax | 755.. weird.. then how can 767 kill sudo? | 15:29 |
| hax | should i try a reboot first maybe? | 15:29 |
| nd | jmadero if you agree and you too purge that and install unicorn | 15:30 |
| DusXMT | hax: Because in order to search through directories, a user needs the 'x' permission, which comes with every odd permission number | 15:30 |
| DusXMT | hax: Maybe sudo relies on being able to search through files in a group associated with it | 15:31 |
| hax | maybe. i see. | 15:31 |
| DusXMT | In that case, it can't do that with the '6' | 15:31 |
| jmadero | nd: I'm done - you're annoying and can keep not getting help from anyone it doesn't hurt me, my system is running perfect | 15:31 |
| hax | but is sudo a user? | 15:31 |
| jmadero | no | 15:32 |
| jmadero | sudo is upping the priv. of your main user (or any other admin) | 15:32 |
| DusXMT | hax: no, but it's in a group, and relies on accessing files of that group, I think | 15:32 |
| hax | i mean, why would it use the user permissions | 15:32 |
| hax | oh i see | 15:32 |
| DusXMT | hax: you changed the group permission from '5' to '6', '6' being 'rw-' | 15:32 |
| DusXMT | hax: Load up your ubuntu install CD, mount the drive, and chmod it to something like 755 to fix it | 15:33 |
| jmadero | might as well ask one more time before having to start doing some work - anyone have any idea why my display language is set to my secondary language on GDM, as well as random software like Synaptic? | 15:34 |
| nd | jmadero but mine not and i also have debian and its super stable | 15:34 |
| jmadero | everything else is English (and keyboard layout is english) | 15:34 |
| jmadero | nd: then stick with debian, like I said, I really could care less | 15:34 |
| jmadero | couldn't* | 15:34 |
| jmadero | 14.04 is the LTS, it's stable and what not, it seems like if you're having all these bugs with Saucy, just install LTS | 15:35 |

| jmadero | in which case, give us a heads up so everyone can ignore you | 15:36 |

| jmadero | nd: still not a question | 15:37 |

| SP33D | can some one help me to understand that | 15:38 |
| jmadero | nd: also what does your computer spit out if you just type "alsamixer" in terminal (no quotes) | 15:38 |
| SP33D | i replaced my ssh keys with a copy from a diffrent pc where all works | 15:38 |
| SP33D | and i get http://pastebin.com/hBqQAAGy | 15:38 |
| nd | it gives output as no such directory | 15:38 |
| jmadero | SP33D: um that won't work | 15:38 |
| jmadero | SP33D: that would make SSH keys the most worthless things ever | 15:38 |
| jmadero | if you could just copy them and use them elsewhere | 15:38 |
| SP33D | i simply don't understand what means no begin mark found the key looks valid in the file and works on the other pc | 15:38 |
| jmadero | yes you can't just copy a ssh key to a new computer | 15:39 |
| z1haze | he also mentions that the WINE program required does not use all the cores so i guess thats an issue too | 15:39 |
| jmadero | that would be so insecure | 15:39 |
| SP33D | ya but it works normaly | 15:39 |
| SP33D | i do that often but i now used a git repo on a central server | 15:39 |
| jmadero | SP33D: on the computer that generated they key it works right? | 15:39 |
| SP33D | pushed keys to the git and pulled back | 15:39 |
| SP33D | all looks working but now i get http://pastebin.com/hBqQAAGy | 15:39 |
| SP33D | and i pushed from the pc and pulled to the pc where it worked | 15:40 |
| SP33D | on all other pc's where i copyed the file normal all works | 15:40 |
| jmadero | ...that's weird | 15:40 |
| SP33D | he complains about missing a begin mark look error output | 15:40 |
| SP33D | http://pastebin.com/hBqQAAGy | 15:40 |
| nd | jmadero it gives out put as no such directory | 15:40 |
| adamk | nd: Pastebin the output of 'aplay -l' | 15:40 |
| jmadero | nd: are you putting "cd" before it? | 15:40 |
| jmadero | if so you shouldn't be | 15:40 |
| z1haze | i also have copied my ssh key from one computer to another and it worked. maybe i did something wrong | 15:41 |
| jmadero | nd: what about sudo apt-get install alsamixer | 15:41 |
| jmadero | then run it again | 15:41 |
| nd | adamk ok jmadero no | 15:41 |
| nd | aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found... | 15:42 |
| nd | adamk | 15:42 |
| jmadero | ah so you purged your sound card | 15:42 |
| jmadero | nd: is your system fully updated | 15:42 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: So you're stuck at the part where you're supposed to download the thing, but can't because you don't have a graphical envinroment, which is needed by steam? | 15:42 |
| jmadero | nd: sudo apt get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:42 |
| DusXMT | (just making sure I understand your issue) | 15:42 |
| z1haze | DusXMT, i havent started yet, im wasnt sure where to begin | 15:42 |
| z1haze | im not good aat this stuff, the server is mainly just used for minecraft and a website, but they want arma/dayz now so i have to try to figure ths out | 15:43 |
| nd | jmadero actually sound was perfectly workin before but since i installed mpg123 terminal player from centre somthing happnd i dont know | 15:43 |
| jmadero | there we go, finally you gave us info of when things went wrong | 15:43 |
| jmadero | before you acted like Ubuntu just broke itself with you doing nothing at all | 15:43 |
| jmadero | nd: but do an update/upgrade | 15:43 |
| nd | matrix | 15:44 |
| jmadero | nd: what sound card do you have? | 15:44 |
| z1haze | DusXMT, what should i do first | 15:44 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: hmmm. Sorry, I have no experience with propriotary servers | 15:45 |
| nd | jmadero how to find that? any commands | 15:45 |
| DusXMT | I guess from the beginning of the thread? | 15:45 |
| z1haze | what do u mean propriotary server? | 15:45 |
| z1haze | i rent this machine | 15:45 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: I don't mean the computer, but the arma server | 15:46 |
| z1haze | oh, well thats fine i can prolly get thru that, i just need the linux help | 15:46 |
| jmadero | nd: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd | 15:46 |
| adamk | nd: Pastebin the outputs from 'lspci' 'lsmod' and 'dmesg'. | 15:46 |
| z1haze | it says i need a gui of sorts what should i use? | 15:46 |
| z1haze | also does WINE only use a single core? | 15:46 |
| jmadero | nd: I suspect your sound module screwed up | 15:46 |
| jmadero | nd: honestly just follow these steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 15:47 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: Do you connect to the server remotely? And via what service? SSH? What program? Putty? Cygwin SSH? | 15:47 |
| z1haze | yes ssh putty | 15:47 |
| jmadero | nd: starting with step 5 | 15:47 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: Then your best bet will to be to learn about X forwarding, how to set up an X server on windows, and that'll be your gui | 15:48 |
| z1haze | whoa a what? | 15:48 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: It allows you to run graphical programs via SSH | 15:48 |
| z1haze | is this very complicated? | 15:48 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: Depending on your computer skills | 15:48 |
| z1haze | i dont guess u want to help with that now? | 15:49 |
| holstein | z1haze: wine helps run windows applications.. unsupported 3rd party proprietary code.. you should try and find native solutions when possible | 15:49 |
| jmadero | z1haze: are you being paid for this? lol | 15:49 |
| jmadero | it sounds like you are and you want us to actually do the work | 15:49 |
| z1haze | no i just want to help my community | 15:49 |
| jmadero | lol oh okay | 15:49 |
| jmadero | (sorry then) | 15:49 |
| DusXMT | z1haze: just google around, google `X server on Windows', `X Forwarding in Putty', etc. | 15:50 |
| jmadero | but it sounds like these things are above your capabilities, and what you are asking others to do is to do the work for you | 15:50 |
| z1haze | what whould i get paid for? | 15:50 |
| z1haze | well no, just maybe teach me | 15:50 |
| jmadero | because DusXMT has been trying to help | 15:50 |
| z1haze | i know, what are you getting at? | 15:50 |
| jmadero | z1haze: part of being in linux is learning to google well - most of the answers are out there | 15:50 |
| jmadero | and for us to help it would just be us doing google searches | 15:50 |
| jmadero | DusXMT has provided you with the starting steps | 15:51 |
| jmadero | he's likely not going to give you a step by step tutorial | 15:51 |
| z1haze | ok i just dont want to mess up and brick this whole server | 15:51 |
| jmadero | well maybe he will ;) but those kinds of people are hard to find because most people don't have that kind of time | 15:51 |
| holstein | z1haze: you should be prepared for that... all hardware fails | 15:51 |
| jmadero | z1haze: I hope you back everything up before playing around with it | 15:52 |
| z1haze | i dont even know how to do that stuff :( | 15:52 |
| z1haze | sorry to bother you guys | 15:52 |
| jmadero | then you shouldn't be doing this sorry to say | 15:52 |
| jmadero | if you don't know how to back up your system | 15:52 |
| jmadero | you shouldn't be playing around with advanced stuff | 15:52 |
| jmadero | seems like you are trying to do like step 100 instead of starting at step 1 | 15:52 |
| z1haze | how does one back it upo | 15:53 |
| jmadero | and step 1 is always learn how to back up | 15:53 |
| jmadero | z1haze: google . . . | 15:53 |
| jmadero | z1haze: you're running Ubuntu server? | 15:53 |
| holstein | z1haze: you can use tools such as virtualization to setup test servers and scenarios.. ones to break, and try and restore.. etc | 15:53 |
| z1haze | yes | 15:53 |
| z1haze | sadly i know more than everyone else lol | 15:53 |
| jmadero | holstein: he can't do that if he doesn't know how to back up | 15:53 |
| jmadero | z1haze: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/backups.html | 15:53 |
| z1haze | the server is provided through ovh doesit it backup by itself | 15:54 |
| jmadero | first hit on google | 15:54 |
| holstein | jmadero: im proposing learning to backup on a virtual environment | 15:54 |
| jmadero | you should have your own back up if you're playing with it | 15:54 |
| jmadero | holstein: ah - then you have to teach how to set up a virtual environment | 15:54 |
| jmadero | ;) | 15:54 |
| holstein | jmadero: ;) | 15:54 |
| jmadero | z1haze: I'm not trying to be an asshole, so I apologize if I am coming off as one | 15:54 |
| jmadero | I just don't think you should be playing with a production server | 15:54 |
| jmadero | if you can't do these things :-/ | 15:55 |
| jmadero | best to install locally on some test machine and actually learn stuff first | 15:55 |
| jmadero | you'll end up saving everyone a lot of time and frustration | 15:55 |
| Pici | 7/0 | 15:55 |
| jmadero | learn as you go on a production server is a very dangerous game ;) | 15:56 |

| z1haze | they say i have 100gb of backup | 16:02 |
| jmadero | z1haze: I think you're missing the point | 16:02 |
| jmadero | you're playing with a production machine | 16:02 |
| jmadero | in ways that are going to lead to breaking things | 16:02 |
| jmadero | and hoping that people here will baby step you through it | 16:03 |
| z1haze | well thats why i came for some help from experience | 16:03 |
| z1haze | but u just want to point me to google, so i assume im onmy own | 16:03 |
| jmadero | z1haze: no this is what any expert would say | 16:03 |
| jmadero | z1haze: learn on a test machine, then use the skills on aproduction machine | 16:03 |
| jmadero | z1haze: I do the same damn thing | 16:03 |
| moza | Hello. I'm trying to install ekiga 4.0.1 on ubuntu 12.04. It seems it's not in the ppa for 12.04. Is there any other way to install that version of ekiga without having to compile the source? It seems it's available as a package for newer versions of ubuntu. | 16:03 |
| z1haze | i dont have a "test" machine | 16:03 |
| jmadero | z1haze: then I suppose install a vm - but that's a whole new nightmare | 16:04 |
| z1haze | im sure it is | 16:04 |
| z1haze | like i said | 16:04 |
| jmadero | z1haze: this is like me not knowing anything at all about cars and oging to a mechanic and saying "teach me how to build an engine" | 16:04 |
| z1haze | i need to be taught something | 16:04 |
| z1haze | so ican work fromthere | 16:04 |
| jmadero | z1haze: yes so I suppose a vm is best to start with, and not on that server | 16:04 |
| jmadero | z1haze: install a vm on the system you're running right now | 16:04 |
| z1haze | well thats the only server i have | 16:04 |
| z1haze | the windows | 16:04 |
| z1haze | machine? | 16:05 |
| jmadero | z1haze: you can install a vm linux machine on the windows machine | 16:05 |

| TomyWork | hi | 16:05 |
| jmadero | z1haze: http://www.instructables.com/id/Introduction-38/ | 16:05 |
| TomyWork | i just went to a 13.04 live cd to make a full disk image | 16:05 |
| TomyWork | but i cant swapoff | 16:05 |
| z1haze | thanks i bookmarked that, i haveto go to class ill work on that later. thanks | 16:06 |
| mitch-_ | that was weird.... this channel was invite only for a bit! | 16:06 |
| jmadero | z1haze: sure, sorry you think you're not getting help, this is the best help you can get | 16:06 |
| jmadero | don't mess around with production machines unless you know something | 16:06 |
| jmadero | and asking experts to spend hours teaching you every little detail will annoy people | 16:06 |
| TomyWork | no matter what i try, whether directly using "sudo swapoff /dev/sda6", or through kde partition manager, the program in question will just lock up | 16:06 |
| TomyWork | i cant even "kill -9" the swapoff process even though it's in state R for running | 16:07 |
| daftykins | TomyWork: what was the point in trying to disable swap at all? | 16:07 |
| TomyWork | daftykins, so i can make a disk image | 16:07 |
| mitch-_ | !alis list #nano* | 16:07 |
| ubottu | mitch-_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:07 |
| daftykins | TomyWork: wouldn't it make more sense using the actual filesystems with data instead? | 16:07 |
| TomyWork | daftykins, no | 16:08 |
| mitch-_ | alis list *nano* | 16:08 |
| daftykins | it would to me (: | 16:08 |
| mitch-_ | how do i ge tthat to show me possible nano channels? i have a nano syntax question | 16:08 |
| TomyWork | it's harder to restore, for one | 16:08 |
| daftykins | TomyWork: so you're in a live session... reboot | 16:08 |
| TomyWork | and less precise | 16:08 |
| TomyWork | daftykins, this is my 2nd attempt already | 16:08 |
| daftykins | mitch-_: join #freenode for server support please | 16:08 |
| TomyWork | can i tell it not to use swap at all, maybe? i have plenty of ram | 16:09 |
| mitch-_ | daftykins, what? no.... nano editor.... syntax highlighting question. i need their channel name.... #nano doesnt work | 16:09 |
| daftykins | mitch-_: sure but i'm asking for you to ask them how to find channels, this is Ubuntu support, not freenode support. | 16:10 |
| llutz | !alis | mitch-_ | 16:10 |
| ubottu | mitch-_: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 16:10 |
| mitch-_ | daftykins, OH ok. thanks. | 16:10 |
| TomyWork | how do i prevent the 13.04 live cd from using the swap partition on my disk | 16:12 |
| TomyWork | daftykins, when i shut down after the last attempt, i got kernel messages starting with "BUG" | 16:13 |
| murat | #ubuntu-tr | 16:13 |
| daftykins | TomyWork: i really don't think it's using it at all, that's not the way swap partitions on a disk operate when booting a live session | 16:14 |
| daftykins | it's just that swap partitions are active until disabled. | 16:14 |
| daftykins | normally another route to disable it would be through gparted, though that would likely just call the same command as you had typed | 16:15 |
| robicorti | Ciao | 16:15 |
| daftykins | however - your live session being 13.04, an unsupported release, i can't comment | 16:15 |
| TomyWork | swapon -s shows it, kde partition manager shows a lock icon on the swap partition and the extended partition that contains it | 16:15 |
| robicorti | Il signore degli anelli | 16:15 |
| TomyWork | and 13.10 probably has the same versions of these tools | 16:16 |
| robicorti | cerco il signore degli anelli | 16:17 |
| daftykins | well i assume also from your reference to KDE software that it's kubuntu | 16:17 |
| Pici | !it | robicorti | 16:17 |
| ubottu | robicorti: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 16:17 |
| daftykins | TomyWork: fresh boot the live session and see what 'mount' reports | 16:17 |
| TomyWork | i can tell you that right away without rebooting and fiddling with the proxy settings again | 16:18 |
| TomyWork | proxy, keyboard, reinstalling xchat | 16:19 |
| daftykins | tell what | 16:19 |
| TomyWork | this is strange, it freezes when i unmount anything | 16:20 |

| ActionParsnip | linuxthefish: its the same TV chip, you need to ignore what is printed on the pretty casing and see what chip the system sees. _That_ is what you want the driver for | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxthefish: so 'wintv' doesnt help you much here at all. WinTV have bought Hauppage chips and used them to make USB TV thingies | 16:45 |

| SDr | hello ubuntu people, what do you use for lightweight sendmail SMTP function? Specifically, I'm looking for something which has at least a queue (so that php's mail() to return immediately), but without operating a relay, or other heavyweight stuff | 17:03 |
| SDr | primary use case is error reporting to my private mailbox (user-facing email is handled by mandrill), so it doesn't have to be spamproof, or provide identity, just fire off an SMTP request to gmail | 17:04 |
| e_d_b | SDr: I was going to recommend sSMTP but the need for a queue kills that reco. | 17:05 |
| e_d_b | that said, i use it to mail me upon cron completions and it works well enough for that | 17:05 |
| SDr | e_d_b, yes, ssmtp is awesome! and I have that in production for another server; I'm wondering here, if I could cut off the 3 sec lag in error contingencies | 17:06 |
| SDr | (3 sec lag brought on by ssmtp making an smtp handshake dance with google's servers. ) | 17:06 |
| e_d_b | you know...now that you mention, that lag may be one of my problems...i sometimes don't get the notice even though cron runs. | 17:07 |
| e_d_b | I guess i need to add to my 'to do' list | 17:07 |

| arthurfiggis | stevecoh1: microsoft does offer downloadable .iso's from their own site for installation media, my PC didn't come with a disk so when i lost my win7 installation i just downloaded the usb installer and the iso from their site, used my activation key and it worked :) i'd imagine they probably do something similar with 8.1, but i don't know of any links offhand | 18:21 |
| shahan | anyone here have unity3d the game developing program working on 14.04? | 18:22 |
| arthurfiggis | stevecoh1: be warned though, between the huge amount of memory required to virtualize windows and the (odd) habit of ubuntu 14.04 killing off processes that grab too much memory, it's not a pleasant experience :( | 18:23 |
| stevecoh1 | arthur, they don't. You have to give them a license key, and even if you do, it has to be a non-OEM license key | 18:23 |
| dw1 | arthurfiggis, stevecoh1: wonder if http://modern.ie are full-featured with a valid key | 18:23 |

| rcollins | wondering if anyone can help out with a fuse/sshfs issue | 18:24 |
| rcollins | i've followed all instructions everywhere...and keep getting module not found | 18:24 |
| stevecoh1 | Beldar, yes my 8.1 lic is OEM | 18:24 |
| MasterOfDisaster | rcollins: details please :-P | 18:24 |
| MonkeyDust | rcollins ask your question to find out | 18:24 |
| arthurfiggis | MasterOfDisaster: yes, that'd be the technical name for it :P i had to stop using kubuntu 14.04 because of that very "feature," baloo would continually grab all the memory on my system, die, start up again, take up all the memory and die...ad nauseam :( | 18:24 |
| Beldar | stevecoh1, You really need to find out if this is even legal, call MS and or the manufacturer. | 18:25 |
| rcollins | heres out put from command line running modprobe fuse root@aditi:/media/tv# modprobe fuse | 18:25 |

| jahrichie | is there a way from the cml to display space by user? | 18:25 |
| Beldar | stevecoh1, I believe it is, but this is a windows issue, ubuntu is only the host. | 18:25 |
| arthurfiggis | stevecoh1: sorry, i missed that your license was an OEM purchase when you mentioned it...that would throw a wrench into things, i'm not even sure if microsoft permits an oem license to be used that way | 18:25 |
| MonkeyDust | rcollins use !pastebin for multi-line pastes | 18:25 |
| awesomess3 | arthurfiggis, so is kubuntu 14.04 a bad option? | 18:25 |
| MasterOfDisaster | arthurfiggis: I'd rather consider baloo and the other desktop indexing abominations an anti-feature, but that's me. | 18:25 |
| jahrichie | we have a web server with a few users that's filled, and its gunna take a while to see which is filling up | 18:25 |
| bekks | jahrichie: What is "which"? | 18:26 |
| === shahan is now known as themanwithnoface | ||
| MasterOfDisaster | jahrichie: which space? disk? memory? | 18:26 |
| rcollins | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7406061/ | 18:27 |
| stevecoh1 | yeah, probably not. So, instead of beating my head against the wall, if I just gave up and went to BestBuy and bought some kind of Windows non-OEM to throw into VBox, would it even work? | 18:27 |
| arthurfiggis | awesomess3: without wanting to start an argument about which desktop is better and whatnot...kubuntu was my favourite up until 14.04, which has essentially removed any easy point-and-click option to turn baloo off...i couldn't get it to run properly on an i5-based system with 8GB of RAM because the file indexer would repeatedly take up all 8GB and blow up | 18:27 |
| Pici | jahrichie: if it is limited to what directory is using up the most space in /home/ you could use something like du --max-depth=1 | sort -n | 18:27 |
| Beldar | stevecoh1, windows in vbox works fine. | 18:27 |

| arthurfiggis | added to that the kde randr settings panel was removed from the default installation, so if you want to say, set up screen mirroring, you need to install a piece of kde that should have come with it in the first place...ah well, hopefully they'll figure it out eventually :) | 18:29 |

| evil_andy | What I need is a way to set a user account as an administrative account so that when things need an administrator password, they will just ask for my password instead of the default user that was set up during install | 19:16 |
| evil_andy | so, is there a CLI tool I can use to set a user account as an administrative account in Unity? | 19:16 |
| k1l | evil_andy: put them into the sudo group. then they can do adminthings with their own password using sudo | 19:17 |
| evil_andy | k1l, they can already use sudo because the domain group is in the sudoers file, the issue is that unity keeps asking for the 'localadmin' password (which they don't have) | 19:18 |
| evil_andy | so unity doesn't check sudoers, but somewhere else to determine if an account is an administrative account. I want to be able to modify that without using the User Accounts tool, because it doesn't pick up non-local accounts | 19:19 |

| Octavian_95 | llutz, i meant that i dont know to do certain things in linux . i used ubuntu in the past for wifi cracking with reaver :) i just know how to open a terminal and stuff like this | 19:39 |
| Octavian_95 | sorry for slow response but for some reason firefox is lagging a little | 19:40 |
| llutz | Octavian_95: check the site i linked, read. if you encounter problems, ask | 19:41 |
| Octavian_95 | should i post the results of the lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 command? | 19:41 |
| alaing | llutz arthurfiggis any ideas? | 19:42 |
| llutz | alaing: rm .git* | 19:42 |
| MasterOfDisaster | gui_: just ask your question | 19:42 |
| === WLM|druk is now known as WLM|weg | ||
| arthurfiggis | alaing: looks like i was beaten to the punch again :) "llutz: rm .git*" that should get rid of the "hidden" files hanging around | 19:43 |
| alaing | llutz: thanks, why didn't it delete the git files with the rm -rf *? | 19:43 |
| llutz | Octavian_95: it will say some "... Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 ..." i'd guess. please read the full site first, then try to follow the steps | 19:43 |
| alaing | arthurfiggis: :-) thank | 19:43 |
| nova__ | I am in love with a lesbian | 19:43 |
| nova__ | what should I do? | 19:44 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: next time, delete the parent directory. | 19:44 |
| k1l | nova__: this is not the appropriate channel for that talks | 19:44 |
| alaing | so do rm -rf parentDir/ | 19:44 |
| arthurfiggis | MasterOfDisaster: yeah, usually when i rm -rf a directory, rather than * inside the directory, it gets everything...that might be the problem | 19:44 |
| nova__ | alaing: do not use rm command | 19:44 |
| alaing | rmdir? | 19:44 |
| nova__ | alaing: it is too dangerous | 19:44 |
| alaing | nova__: are you sure ;-) | 19:45 |
| llutz | alaing: * doesn't match leading dot .(hidden) | 19:45 |
| nova__ | alaing: I typed rm /home/backup * instead of /home/backup | 19:45 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: rm -r, as was explained earlier to you (and I didn't read :-( ) | 19:45 |
| nova__ | someone should make a wrapper for rm | 19:45 |
| llutz | nova__: use rm -i | 19:46 |
| alaing | thanks guys. | 19:46 |
| nova__ | alaing: yes I am | 19:46 |
| Octavian_95 | llutz: so i figured out that my wifi card is BCM4311 [14e4:432b] what now? | 19:46 |
| llutz | Octavian_95: i say it one more time: please read the full site first, then try to follow the steps | 19:46 |
| nova__ | where is the most approiate place to talk about lvoe? | 19:46 |
| nova__ | love?* | 19:47 |
| llutz | pub | 19:47 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: some distros include "alias rm='rm -i'" in .bashrc to protect users. | 19:47 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: doesn't help when adding '-f' though. | 19:47 |
| k1l | nova__: #defocus | 19:47 |
| alaing | MasterOfDisaster: I'm sing ubuntu servcer edition | 19:48 |
| alaing | using | 19:48 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: just beware of adding '-f'. | 19:49 |
| alaing | thanks I've made a note. would you be able to recommend a good resource ie like a cookbook for commandline | 19:50 |
| alaing | for quick ref | 19:50 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: well, 'man' is what most use to look up commands | 19:51 |
| xyzzymaze | Greetings all ... I'm sure this has been asked/answered , but I've yet to find out why Trusty takes *forever* to allow you to type in the password box after boot ... | 19:51 |
| arthurfiggis | alaing: well, in the specific case of bash, typing help at the prompt will give you a whole bunch of common console commands...then man commandname will give you a description :) | 19:51 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: 'apropos foo' or 'man -f foo' searches for foo in them. | 19:51 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: in the man pages, as they're called. | 19:51 |
| alaing | thanks for that much appreciate :-) | 19:52 |
| nova__ | alaing: type man man if you want to know how to use man | 19:52 |
| alaing | I didn't know men had manuals | 19:52 |
| alaing | :-P | 19:52 |
| alaing | man lady | 19:53 |
| alaing | no such command exists | 19:53 |
| arthurfiggis | alaing: the real response is somehow even better than that: "No manual entry for lady" | 19:53 |
| nova__ | alaing: you need to install groff and manpages packages | 19:53 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: that should get you started: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html | 19:53 |
| nova__ | I wish there were a manual page for sex too | 19:54 |
| arthurfiggis | MasterOfDisaster: hmm...i know that wasn't meant for me but i hope you don't mind me using it anyway ;) quite handy | 19:54 |

| Seppoh | hi | 19:58 |
| Octavian_95 | anyone else that can help me set up my BCM4311 based wifi card in ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 19:59 |
| Kins | I'm having trouble getting Seahorse to work correctly in 14.04. When I go to import an SSH private key, it imports it to "Gnome2 Key Storage" and won't use it for ssh. Anyone know a solution? | 20:00 |
| alaing | i would like to copy two directories (with all their sub directories and files etc), both directories start with "cache" and I want to copy them to another directory would this command do it for me: cp -R cache*/ /var/www/gallery/ | 20:00 |
| === mspencer is now known as iBelieve | ||
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: rather use cp -a or rsync -a. Keeps file permissions. | 20:02 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: cp -a implies -R | 20:02 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Octavian_95: what have you tried? where are you stuck? | 20:03 |
| alaing | not to concerned about permissions | 20:03 |
| === timrc is now known as timrc-afk | ||
| alaing | so cp -a cache*/ /var/www/gallery/ | 20:03 |
| Seppoh | anybody knows how to help me, if start up my laptop it says "Sorry, ubuntu 14,04 has experienced an internal error" it does say it to when i try to go to update | 20:03 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: ok. just a thing to keep in mind. | 20:03 |
| Octavian_95 | Well i think i need a driver for the card. I never installed a driver in linux and don't know how to do it | 20:04 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: your command looks good, the trailing slashes shouldn't be necessary. | 20:04 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Octavian_95: well, the guide says to identify your card first. Did you do that? | 20:05 |
| alaing | I blame windows for my poor cmdline skills | 20:06 |
| alaing | I used to know loads fo DOS commands | 20:06 |
| nikolam | alaing, I blame Ubuntu for my low Linux skills | 20:06 |
| nikolam | same thing | 20:06 |
| alaing | when I was about 7/8 yrs old. my mom bought us a 80286 | 20:06 |
| Octavian_95 | i don't think there is someone here more n00bish at ubuntu or linux than me :) | 20:07 |
| alaing | then updated to windows 3.1 and then it was all down hill | 20:07 |
| IamSad | How do you pronounciate ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| alaing | O-Bun-two | 20:08 |
| IamSad | alaing: thank you that is what I needed | 20:08 |
| alaing | trust me I'm originally from South Africa..... | 20:08 |
| nikolam | it is more important what Ubuntu means. And it is not one company to rule it all. So, contribute. | 20:09 |
| alaing | IamSad: its a zulu word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy) | 20:09 |
| IamSad | ubuntu replaces my configuration files | 20:10 |
| IamSad | with auto-generated ones | 20:10 |
| alaing | and Mark shuttlworth came from RA | 20:10 |
| alaing | SA | 20:10 |
| bekks | alaing: So wikipedia is lying? ;) "Ubuntu (/ʊˈbʊntuː/ uu-BUUN-too)[7][8] " | 20:10 |
| IamSad | Can I use OpenRC with ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| bekks | IamSad: No. | 20:10 |
| alaing | bekks: lol - I was being lazy | 20:10 |
| arthurfiggis | alaing: speaking of prominent people from south africa on ubuntu... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HED4h00xPPA <-- nelson mandela, i'd accept his pronounciation :) | 20:11 |
| alaing | I actually met Mark Shuttleworth while I was at school | 20:11 |
| arthurfiggis | (that video used to be included with a new ubuntu installation if i remember right) | 20:11 |
| IamSad | bekks: why can't I? | 20:11 |
| k1l | hey guys, can we focus on technical support in here? we have #ubuntu-offtopic for the talks | 20:12 |
| alaing | he came and did a talk about how he visualised things etc | 20:12 |
| bekks | IamSad: Because openrc is not available or ported to Ubuntu until now. It is designed to work with Gentoo. | 20:12 |
| edoceo | I'm on Precise and want to downgrade my Gluster from 3.4.3 (latest) to 3.4.2 (one previous) | 20:12 |
| alaing | k11 ok | 20:12 |
| IamSad | bekks: I have heard that it's cross platform and ported to many *nix platforms even BSD | 20:12 |
| edoceo | I have the 3.4.2 packages installed on other Precise systems, how to make `apt-get` use that specific version? | 20:12 |
| bekks | IamSad: Linux is no "*NIX" platform. ;) | 20:13 |
| bekks | IamSad: And it isnt ported to Ubuntu yet. | 20:13 |
| IamSad | bekks: systemd isn't ported either | 20:13 |
| bekks | IamSad: systemd actually is available for almost all linux distributions - including Ubuntu. | 20:13 |
| edoceo | http://ewontfix.com/14/ | 20:14 |
| IamSad | bekks: I stick with System V init system | 20:14 |
| bekks | IamSad: Then you arent using Ubuntu. | 20:14 |
| anonymous | hey | 20:15 |
| bekks | IamSad: Ubuntu uses upstart for a pretty long time now. | 20:15 |
| anonymous | wtf | 20:15 |
| babyswizz | Is there any way to check what drivers are loaded on ubuntu 13.04 | 20:15 |
| IamSad | bekks: babyswizz: type lsmod | 20:15 |
| anonymous | hey | 20:15 |
| bekks | !raring | babyswizz | 20:15 |
| ubottu | babyswizz: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 20:16 |

| k1l | anonymous: start using it and read the documentations | 20:16 |
| anonymous | where is documentation | 20:17 |
| anonymous | pls help | 20:17 |
| alaing | any ideas why I'm getting funny characters in my error msg chmod: cannot access â*â: No such file or directory | 20:17 |
| IamSad | alaing: where is this output from? did you run a script? | 20:18 |
| k1l | alaing: encoding errors | 20:18 |
| Bashing-om | bekks: -> anonymous // Hey I am an "old man" and I am still learning ! -- even after all this time . | 20:19 |
| alaing | no I'm running the command from putty | 20:19 |
| k1l | alaing: there you go. utf-8 vs somewhat else | 20:19 |
| soee | someone have lags when using second monitor connected through hdmi (laptop) and some other slot on the other side (not sure how it is called) ? | 20:19 |
| MasterOfDisaster | alaing: yeah, the terminal emulator (i.e. putty) has to support the character encoding the server sends in. as k1l suggested, you likely need to select Unicode in its settings. | 20:20 |
| aarobc | if kill -9 doesn't work, are there more extreme measures that can be taken? | 20:21 |
| IamSad | soee: this is normal you can try to switch the unused display --off | 20:21 |
| IamSad | aarobc: even if you manage to kill a process with kill -9, you must clean up all the garbage left from the process | 20:21 |
| IamSad | aarobs: so It is better to wait until it shuts itself down | 20:22 |
| aarobc | It's definitely not going anywhere | 20:22 |
| IamSad | aarobs: another way to kill the process is to kill one of it's parent processes | 20:22 |
| aarobc | I did lsusb and it's just hanging | 20:23 |
| babyswizz | anonymous: start from here http://tille.garrels.be/training/tldp/index.html | 20:23 |
| IamSad | aarobc: Ctrl+C | 20:23 |

| === timrc-afk is now known as timrc | ||
| IamSad | what does patronize mean? aarobc | 20:24 |
| IamSad | I was trying to help (aarobc) | 20:24 |
| aarobc | ah, I thought you were insinuating I was stupid. | 20:24 |
| aarobc | anyaway, yes, of course I tried control+c | 20:24 |
| IamSad | aarobc: pstree -p | 20:25 |
| aarobc | IamSad: that is very neat | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | aarobc: https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg199269.html | 20:26 |
| IamSad | I hate computers | 20:27 |
| babyswizz | does the /proc directory hold any info about the system drivers and what file exactly holds such info? | 20:27 |
| When | could someone direct me to some documentation as how I would configure a kubuntu workstation to authenticate users either local account or with active directory? | 20:27 |
| Jordan_U | babyswizz: What information are you looking for, and why? | 20:27 |
| IamSad | babyswizz /dev holds all the info about devices | 20:27 |
| When | authenticate to sign in | 20:27 |
| When | sign into computer | 20:27 |
| When | lol | 20:28 |
| aarobc | Anyway, the underlying problem is I believe libUSB is highjacking something, | 20:28 |
| IamSad | aarobc: fuser -k path_to_usb_device | 20:28 |
| aarobc | IamSad: indeed, but the irony is I can't do lsusb because that process will hang | 20:29 |
| IamSad | aarobc: have you tried updating usbutils package? | 20:31 |
| IamSad | aarobc: | 20:32 |

| BradPJ | Robbie: No they are not, easy enough to install however, with a working internet connection. | 20:39 |
| dekatch | bekks thank you. so no additional formating and reconverting :) | 20:39 |

| Robbie | BradPJ, I ve tryied to install it but it is trying to install a strange file.. installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts someone knows what the hell is? | 20:41 |
| BradPJ | Robbie: They are the Microsoft fonts for maximum compatibility with files. How are you installing them? | 20:42 |
| bix_nood | Hey, hey hey i have an important question. | 20:43 |
| Bashing-om | Robbie: Microsoft TrueType = NonFree = a uela agreement that you must sign. space/tab to move about and highligh the accept, enter to accept. | 20:43 |
| Robbie | seems that it has been installed | 20:43 |
| bix_nood | Currently running Debian Stable XFCE on my laptop, considering switching to Xubuntu 14.10 LTS because good the antiquity of Debian Stable drives me crazy. | 20:43 |
| bix_nood | Will it fuck up my grub? | 20:44 |
| Robbie | anyway i don't need this extras | 20:44 |
| bix_nood | I have Win8 on dualboot and i'd like to keep it there. | 20:44 |
| k1l | bix_nood: the ubuntu grub will notice the win8 and set it to its list | 20:44 |
| BradPJ | bix_nood : Ubuntu will detect other OS's on install and replace the current GRUB with it's own one. | 20:44 |
| bix_nood | Thanks, that's all i wanted to hear. | 20:45 |
| bix_nood | Of course i can keep my /home directory? | 20:45 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I remember when Ubuntu didn't do that, BradPJ. A lot more fun installing multiple operating systems :) | 20:45 |
| bix_nood | I don't have much experiencie with distrohoppinh, never had to. | 20:45 |
| bekks | bix_nood: that might mess up configurations. | 20:45 |
| EpicCyndaquil | bix_nood: I'd recommend making a backup and restoring as necessary. | 20:46 |
| k1l | bix_nood: should work. but that depends on the specific programs which might have changed in newer version | 20:46 |
| bix_nood | Well i have lots off big files out there, moving everything to my NAS would take ages. | 20:46 |
| bix_nood | Should i remove my /.local? | 20:46 |
| z1haze | how do i create a shortcut folder in my home directory that goes to another users directory | 20:47 |
| BradPJ | EpicCyndaquil: It is a pain that it does, I find it easier to to install grub myself since I am dual-booting multiple Linux OS's. Saying that I've used Ubuntu since 9.10 and can't remember it not ever doing it. | 20:47 |
| z1haze | in ftp it looks likea fodler with a little arrow | 20:47 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I think I used an 8.* that didn't, BradPJ. Don't quote me on that one though :) | 20:47 |
| EpicCyndaquil | bix_nood: Is your home dir a separate partition? | 20:48 |
| EpicCyndaquil | z1haze: you might want a symlink | 20:49 |
| bix_nood | EpicCyndaquil: Not quite sure about that. | 20:49 |
| z1haze | how do i do that epicCyndaquil? | 20:49 |
| bix_nood | But i've reinstalled debian many times (happened to fuck up my system quite a lot) | 20:49 |
| Jordan_U | bix_nood: Please watch your language. | 20:50 |
| bix_nood | And never had issues. Just configured the partitioner to keep /home and format everything else, set up boot to "/" and shit. | 20:50 |
| bix_nood | Kay kay. | 20:50 |
| bix_nood | If it's a problem, then i won't swear. Sorry. | 20:50 |
| EpicCyndaquil | bix_nood: you're treading into more advanced territory, you'll likely want to make your home dir a partition of its own in the future, and then simply backup and erase the dotfiles and other config from your home dir | 20:50 |
| bix_nood | Well i should burn an iso to usb and check it by myself, i can always undo any operations in the partitioner before formatting right? | 20:51 |
| BradPJ | bix_nood: You can look at your current partition layout in Debian by typing 'lsblk' in a terminal. | 20:52 |
| bix_nood | Hell i forgot i'm on live usb. | 20:53 |
| bix_nood | Brb | 20:53 |
| z1haze | is it possible to add my user account to another's group so i can access his files as well? | 20:54 |
| bix_nood | BradPJ: kk, i'm back. | 20:56 |
| EpicCyndaquil | z1haze: yes. Google it, there's about 5 different utilities to modify permissions, one of them adds a user to a group, iirc | 20:56 |
| bix_nood | BradPJ: Well, lsblk says my sda5 is "/", sda6 is SWAP and sda7 is /home. | 20:56 |
| z1haze | sudo usermod -a -G group username right? | 20:56 |
| bix_nood | BradPJ: I guess it's okay. | 20:56 |
| EpicCyndaquil | that sounds right, z1haze | 20:56 |
| z1haze | ok awesome | 20:56 |
| BradPJ | bix_nood: Yeah that means that you have a seperate partition for /home. You can keep this when installing Ubuntu. | 20:57 |
| EpicCyndaquil | bix_nood: As long as you're very careful while installing, you should be able to preserve that home dir | 20:57 |
| z1haze | ok im confused then: ive added a new user, and by default the group they belong to is their name right? like john:john ? | 20:57 |
| z1haze | so I added my main user to the group john, but I still am not allowed to download files into his directory | 20:58 |
| bix_nood | EpicCyndaquil: So just remove .local and i'm ready to go? | 20:58 |
| EpicCyndaquil | bix_nood: it's more complicated than that. Check ALL of the files in ~ and make sure none of them are OS specific | 20:59 |
| EpicCyndaquil | anything application specific should be fine, like .vimrc | 20:59 |
| guest12141 | hi, i am about to install ubuntu. i am on a desktop version live boot. i have windows preinstalled and i am in the manual setup process. its been a while since my last linux installation and i just need to recheck the partition setups..... | 20:59 |
| EpicCyndaquil | check .bashrc and such for anything unique though | 20:59 |
| guest12141 | would someone help me setup the partitions?? i am alreadz in ubuntu manual setup screen | 20:59 |
| zeitsofa | bix_nood: I think the best way to save your files is, move /home/yourusername to /home/yourusername.old bevor during the install. After install move the files you need back to /home/yourusername | 21:00 |
| bix_nood | zeitsofa: and that's a damn good advice | 21:00 |

| bix_nood | Does it take long to install via WLAN? | 21:01 |
| bix_nood | it would be nice to get it done before midnight. | 21:01 |
| guest12141 | bix_nood: wlan is as good as LAN... | 21:01 |
| guest12141 | depends on your internet connection. | 21:01 |

| bix_nood | Well my internet connection is 60/20 but my wireless card kinda cuts it down. | 21:02 |
| bix_nood | Nevermind, thanks for the advice, gotta go. | 21:02 |
| guest12141 | 60\20? | 21:02 |
| BradPJ | He meant 60 down, 20 up. | 21:02 |
| EpicCyndaquil | guest12141: What partition help do you need, specifically? | 21:02 |
| guest12141 | ah ye i see | 21:02 |
| guest12141 | but most wlan connection are better than 54 megabits these daus | 21:03 |
| guest12141 | EpicCyndaquil: thank you. ubuntu is asking for device for boot loader install | 21:03 |
| guest12141 | EpicCyndaquil: does it ask me for the root directory later on???? | 21:04 |
| EpicCyndaquil | guest12141: that's where you specify the hard drive you plan to boot to | 21:04 |
| guest12141 | or is that the only [path i specifiy | 21:04 |
| EpicCyndaquil | anyway, I have to go, someone else will help you out guest12141 | 21:04 |
| guest12141 | EpicCyndaquil: i thought this is where i want to install bootloader | 21:04 |
| BradPJ | guest12141: Genereally you want to use the hard drive you are installing too. i.e. sda or sdb. Without the partition number. | 21:05 |
| guest12141 | i am about to chooe a 4GB dev&sda6 | 21:05 |
| BradPJ | guest12141 Thats for the bootloader. | 21:05 |
| guest12141 | BradPJ: . i wont do sda... i have windows preinstalled. i am about to install EaszBCD | 21:05 |
| guest12141 | so dev sda6 is good to me | 21:05 |
| BradPJ | guest12141: /dev/sda6 for what exactly? | 21:05 |
| guest12141 | BradPJ: for the bootloader. just. | 21:06 |
| guest12141 | 4GB is to much i know`` | 21:06 |
| gdfsjsdfj | why doesnt freenode allow me to connect through my irc client? | 21:06 |
| gdfsjsdfj | why doesnt freenode allow me to connect through my irc client? | 21:06 |
| guest12141 | but thats not my concern. i wonder if ubunutu asks me for root and home after BradPJ | 21:06 |
| BradPJ | guest12141: I can't remember the install proccess so can't say in what order everything occurs. | 21:07 |
| alexandre | Wesh ya pas d'la gonz ? | 21:07 |
| guest12141 | BradPJ: i have to click "install now" thats why i am actually concerned about | 21:07 |
| BradPJ | guest12141: I wouldn't click it unless you know what you have done to your partitons. | 21:08 |
| alexandre | Bryan is in the kitchen | 21:08 |
| guest12141 | BradPJ: but it actually just asks for "device for bootloader installation" | 21:08 |
| guest12141 | yep | 21:08 |
| guest12141 | i make the partition 20GB and if it asks me for another partition i jump back and decrease the size | 21:08 |
| guest12141 | best solution i guess | 21:08 |
| Voyage | are these changing results of nmap so rapidly, a distribution bug on my side? http://pastie.org/9146948 | 21:08 |
| zeitsofa | guest12141: u want to install grub normally to first disk. /dev/sda may the right on I think | 21:09 |
| BradPJ | guest12141: I can't really help any further. All I suggest is make sure you know what you are doing with the partitions, especially since you are trying to retain Windows. | 21:09 |
| zeitsofa | right one i mean | 21:09 |
| guest12141 | zeitsofa: i know. usually. but i prefer to use EasyBCD . have windows linux dual boot later on | 21:10 |
| guest12141 | and i wont use grub as bootloader | 21:10 |
| BradPJ | Yeah you normally want to install grub to the disk you have installed to. You install to a partition if you are chainloading as it seems guest12141 is doing. | 21:11 |
| k1l | dualboot is easy with grub | 21:11 |
| guest12141 | k1l: i dislike the grub layouyt.. windows bootloader just is as my bios looks like... grub is special :p | 21:12 |
| mgolisch_ | Voyage: this your server? | 21:12 |
| guest12141 | ah, there you go. ubuntu doesnt install. i have to define root partition. well done | 21:13 |
| mgolisch_ | Voyage: does it realy have that many open ports? | 21:13 |
| bng | hi all, is it on purpose that in 14.04 in Nautilus the menu button from upper right corner disappeared? | 21:13 |
| guest12141 | 400MB for bootloader should be enough ??? | 21:13 |
| zeitsofa | guest12141: for using EasyBCD u need chainloading. So best practice is the way BradPJ was telling u. U have to write grub into the MBR of the partition ubuntu was installed. | 21:14 |
| === brat197 is now known as brat|away|zzz | ||

| bekks | guest12141: the bootloader takes about 5M. The kernel(s) take much more space. | 21:14 |

Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0". i know that i have to "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces", but i do not know what the text of interfaces should look like.,.. i just want to make sure that i do this properly.. | 22:06 |
| chaotix | thanks in advance | 22:06 |

| Shelly_ | i can't reboot right now, but i think since it only did SSL upgrades, audio wouldn't be affected? | 22:08 |
| Shelly_ | audio, meaning multimedia controls | 22:09 |
| viper474 | chaotix: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ right after defining physical interfaces title | 22:12 |
| viper474 | chaotix: change address to 192.168.1.7 and gateway to whatever the router uses | 22:13 |
| daftykins | chaotix: there is absolutely no reason to permanently configure a static IP | 22:13 |
| daftykins | a gateway isn't needed if you're just flashing a router | 22:13 |
| Jordan_U | chaotix: Is the computer you're configuring a Desktop (with a GUI) or a server (without a GUI)? | 22:14 |

| viper474 | chaotix: you're going to have a fun time trying to get step 8 of that guide working | 22:18 |
| daftykins | chaotix: so if you're just flashing the router, just run "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.7 netmask 255.255.255.0" you'll lose internet connectivity but flash the router then, then just reboot to get a proper IP from DHCP again as you normally would | 22:18 |

| chaotix | someone else just told me i should use open wrt instead | 22:19 |
| chaotix | does anyone here have any experience with either of these, or any of the alternatives? | 22:19 |
| SJr | I have experience with dd-wrt and openwrt | 22:19 |
| chaotix | i am just looking to use this router as a wifi adapter for a computer | 22:19 |
| daftykins | ^ i run dd-wrt on something | 22:19 |
| chaotix | which one will be easiest to use to accomplish this? | 22:20 |
| daftykins | i'd imagine Wi-Fi bridge would be a more appropriate attempt | 22:20 |
| daftykins | probably the same | 22:20 |
| SJr | I like openwrt better. It may be a function of the router, but dd-wrt always seemed flaky on my WRT54GS. OpenWRT was easier to setup and manage from the command line, and really has just worked now for 3 years. | 22:20 |
| chaotix | a network bridge wont work because the other computer is going to be in another room | 22:20 |
| chaotix | SJr, thanks | 22:21 |
| chaotix | so since i am using linux to configure it, openwrt would be a better option then | 22:21 |
| chaotix | i am using a wrt54g v6 | 22:21 |
| daftykins | not sure i see any reason for Linux influencing the firmware you put on a device | 22:22 |

| ferret_commander | vot republican | 22:23 |
| chaotix | if using ubuntu, i think you have to do sudo su... su will not work | 22:23 |

| robjloranger | Has anyone had issues waking video from suspend with the 3.15 kernel? | 23:15 |
| barbara | Any idea why I'm getting literally hundreds of "Authenticate to Wireless" popups | 23:15 |
| barbara | yet I'm connected | 23:15 |
| holstein | robjloranger: not relating to that kernel, but on specific hardware, sure.. where are you getting that kernel? it could be the issue, i suppose | 23:16 |
| robjloranger | i got it from the mainline http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc4-utopic/ | 23:17 |
| barbara | connect automatically is on | 23:17 |
| barbara | so is available for all users | 23:17 |
| holstein | barbara: could be you are being offered to authenticate, via a web portal, even though you are connected | 23:17 |
| holstein | barbara: is it your access point | 23:17 |
| holstein | robjloranger: mainlines are not released, officially.. that could be the deal.. are you just testing for the kernel team? | 23:18 |
| barbara | holstein: I'm getting hundreds of these windows when my computer wakes up | 23:18 |
| holstein | barbara: only after suspend? | 23:18 |
| barbara | yes | 23:19 |
| barbara | far as i can tell | 23:19 |
| robjloranger | no i had to upgrade to avoid another issue with 3.13 kernel where my network connectivity suffered terrible lag spikes, like 4 or 5 second response times | 23:19 |
| Bray90820 | Is it possible to create and restore a system image of ubuntu like you can on windows | 23:19 |
| holstein | barbara: does it happen *only* after suspend? | 23:19 |
| barbara | im not sure to be honest | 23:19 |
| barbara | but i only have one wireless network on the keyring | 23:19 |
| holstein | Bray90820: yes | 23:19 |
| barbara | and it is supplied with the proper WPA2 password | 23:19 |
| holstein | Bray90820: actually, you'd have to see how its done in windows.. but, clonezilla can do both | 23:19 |
| robjloranger | yes i recomemend clonezilla | 23:20 |
| holstein | barbara: are you up to date with upgrades? | 23:20 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: took a gamble and rebooted, shift didn't pull up boot menu... | 23:20 |
| holstein | Shelly2: sure.. you are looking for the grub menu | 23:20 |
| barbara | yeah update && upgrade | 23:20 |
| barbara | this happens on linux based os's debian & ubuntu | 23:21 |
| robjloranger | holstein: it's not a super big deal though as i can still just boot the previous 3.11 kernel. just wonderingif anyone else had noticed | 23:21 |
| barbara | ive had this issue with another laptop | 23:21 |
| holstein | Shelly2: http://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version suggests easy ways of showing grub, if you want | 23:21 |
| barbara | there must be somethin wrong with the nm-applet | 23:21 |
| barbara | -g | 23:21 |
| holstein | Shelly2: this is *not* a fix, but a troubleshooting step.. to test the older kernel. dont wast much time here on it.. just try the older kernel. you can do what with the live CD you installed from | 23:21 |
| holstein | barbara: on other hardware with different wifi chip? not the same wifi dongle? correct? | 23:22 |
| barbara | yes | 23:22 |
| holstein | barbara: its something to do with either you configuring, or that specific access point and linux.. have you found a bug ? | 23:22 |
| barbara | its related to network manager the issue | 23:23 |
| barbara | not my hardware | 23:23 |
| Bray90820 | holstein: i don't really care how windows does it all i want to do is transfer my ubuntu install from one HDD to another | 23:23 |
| robjloranger | Bray90820: try clonezilla | 23:23 |
| robjloranger | Bray90820: it's what i used to move my ubuntu from one hdd to another when i got a larger drive | 23:23 |
| holstein | Bray90820: ok.. you asked about windows.. i suggest clonezilla.. if you want, as you asked, to do it "like in windows" you'll need to ask in a windows channel how its done there | 23:23 |
| holstein | though, clonezilla supports windows and linux cloning | 23:24 |
| barbara | someone suggested ignoring IPV6 | 23:24 |
| barbara | "Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I just had the same problem on a new install of Ubuntu 12.04. To fix the issue, I went to the IPv6 settings for the network in question, and selected ignore under the "Method" drop-down menu. " | 23:24 |
| Beldar | clonezilla saves the mbr if your using it | 23:24 |
| barbara | not sure how that would help | 23:24 |
| Bray90820 | robjloranger: i was just using windows as an example didn't really care if it was windows | 23:24 |
| robjloranger | Bray90820: with CZ you just have to have the same size or larger size destination drive | 23:24 |
| robjloranger | or partition | 23:24 |
| Bray90820 | robjloranger: can i transfer the install to a new hard drive while it's connected externally | 23:25 |
| holstein | Bray90820: yes | 23:25 |
| robjloranger | yes | 23:25 |
| Bray90820 | So then i just pop the new drive into the computer and i am done? | 23:25 |
| holstein | Bray90820: you can do *exactly* what you are asking to do with the tool clonezilla ..http://clonezilla.org/ | 23:25 |
| robjloranger | yep, it even clones the drive id | 23:25 |
| Bray90820 | Hum ok | 23:25 |
| Bray90820 | Thanks | 23:25 |
| holstein | Bray90820: that depends.. you can clone the drive.. if the drivers support the new hardware, then yes | 23:26 |
| Bray90820 | holstein: i am putting a new drive in the same system | 23:26 |
| Bray90820 | It's just an HDD upgrade | 23:26 |
| holstein | Bray90820: the linux kernel is modular, and there is a good chance that can happen.. but, you would want to remove any proprietary drivers before moving to different hardware | 23:26 |
| robjloranger | it will be fine then | 23:26 |
| Bray90820 | holstein: robjloranger thanks | 23:27 |
| robjloranger | so long as it;s the same type of drive, i.e. SSD or ESATA or SATA | 23:27 |
| tapout | when you guys check a drive, do you bother with badblocks? I've got 2 1TB drives I have had sitting around and I don't recall why. I checked smartctl -a, no errors. Should I bother with badblocks or what ? | 23:27 |
| Bray90820 | robjloranger: it's an SSD to an HDD both sata that i will be connecting through usb | 23:28 |
| robjloranger | ya sorry, as long as it's sata to sata, not IDE or something as the drive designations would be different.. like /dev/hda vs /dev/sda | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | tapout: I personally wouldn't bother with badblocks, but with or without badblocks you should be making regular and tested backups of important data. | 23:30 |
| robjloranger | tapout: what do you mean by bother with bad blocks? | 23:30 |
| r_Lab | Hi | 23:33 |

| Shelly2 | holstein: tried 2 prior kernels, (3.2.0-48, and -45), neither helped multimedia keys :( | 23:39 |

| loa | is steam client working? | 23:39 |
| robjloranger | mine is | 23:40 |
| loa | check if it is really connected please | 23:40 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: i also tried 2nd keyboard, no luck | 23:40 |
| holstein | Shelly2: i would try the live CD that i installed from.. then, i would know the keys should be working.. then, the document i gave is the "best" resource | 23:40 |
| loa | or if you can do relog. | 23:40 |
| robjloranger | loa: sure one sec | 23:40 |
| holstein | !steam | loa | 23:40 |
| ubottu | loa: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 23:40 |
| loa | holstein, ok | 23:40 |
| Shelly2 | i'll have to create a 12.04 live usb i guess... | 23:41 |
| robjloranger | loa: nope sory, it's dead | 23:41 |
| loa | =/ | 23:41 |
| loa | thx | 23:41 |
| robjloranger | loa: there is a website to help you check, www.issteamdown.com | 23:41 |
| loa | you really helped. | 23:41 |
| holstein | Shelly2: or read the official documentation for how to provide the support.. there are commands to run to see if the keys are sending anything.. | 23:41 |
| robjloranger | loa: i know i hate that lol right when i want to play | 23:41 |
| loa | i thought i have network problems. | 23:42 |
| holstein | loa: you are.. just not on your end, it seems | 23:42 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: the keys to show working in Settings->Keyboard->Short cuts... but no graphic for volume activity | 23:43 |
| holstein | Shelly2: sure.. those are settings | 23:43 |
| Shelly2 | the keys do | 23:43 |
| Shelly2 | but if i re-define, they register | 23:43 |
| holstein | Shelly2: that doesnt tell you anything.. you can see those without any keyboard installed | 23:43 |
| innocent95 | Hi | 23:44 |
| holstein | Shelly2: ok.. thats the proceedure i would follow. test with a known-supported OS.. and go from there | 23:44 |
| ComviqKali | paying 0.10 btc to whoever get my drivers / 3g modem connected | 23:44 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: and if that works? | 23:44 |
| robjloranger | innocent95: hello | 23:44 |
| innocent95 | is there a command to install slackware boost package directly ? | 23:44 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: live cd | 23:44 |
| holstein | Shelly2: then, you know your hardware is functioning properly, and its something in your installation | 23:44 |
| Shelly2 | holstein: before i upgraded it was working fine | 23:45 |
| ComviqKali | Does anyone know 3g usb dongles well enough to make some quick money and help me out of misery? | 23:45 |
| holstein | innocent95: this is the ubuntu support channel.. i think there is #slackware | 23:45 |
| holstein | Shelly2: ok.. | 23:45 |
| innocent95 | okay | 23:45 |
| holstein | Shelly2: this will confirm the hardware isnt broken. otherwise, file a bug | 23:45 |
| holstein | !bug | Shelly2 | 23:45 |

| mister_m | in 14.04 Desktop, how can I configure my install to be terminal only? I don't want to boot into the desktop at all | 23:45 |
| holstein | Shelly2: you'll want to find someone with the same issue you have.. and you are welcome to wait.. | 23:46 |
| holstein | mister_m: why not just install minimal? | 23:46 |
| holstein | !Mini | mister_m | 23:46 |
| ubottu | mister_m: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:46 |
| robjloranger | mister_m: edit your /etc/default/grub like so 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"' | 23:47 |
| === Guest40481 is now known as dmitrykorotkov | ||
| robjloranger | mister_m: then update grub via 'sudo update-grub' | 23:47 |

| ComviqKali | any guru wanna help me ? :) would be much apriciated worked with this for few days and havent got it working | 23:52 |
| robjloranger | what version of ubuntu and which dongle are you trying to use? what exactly is happening? | 23:53 |
| ComviqKali | im using ZTE MF 190 HSUPA | 23:54 |
| ComviqKali | i've followed a bunch of guides, used usb modeswitch and what not on both ubuntu, bt , kali none of it seems to work | 23:54 |
| ComviqKali | but i read other people have got it to work | 23:54 |
| ComviqKali | I just need someone to work this out for me for payment cuz I rly need it to be working :( | 23:54 |
| ComviqKali | if i use other 3G dongles it works fine just that this brand for some reason is detected as a storage or something | 23:55 |
| ComviqKali | I'll pay to get this done | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | can you pastebin the following; | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | uname -a | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | lsusb | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | lsmod | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | usb-devices | 23:55 |
| robjloranger | rather, the results of the following :) | 23:55 |
| ComviqKali | http://pastebin.com/keniMiNh | 23:55 |
| ComviqKali | i have this from yesterday | 23:56 |
| robjloranger | lol ok | 23:56 |
| ComviqKali | only thing that changed is the modem now is 19d2:1225 | 23:57 |
| ComviqKali | because i plugged it out and in | 23:57 |
| ComviqKali | PLEASE someone just help me get this running this is driving me crazy | 23:57 |
| robjloranger | if you see the driver is listed as usb-storage, not modem | 23:57 |
| robjloranger | try installing usb-modeswitch, "sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data" | 23:58 |
| holstein | ComviqKali: well, ideally, the vendor/creator would help you.. nothing about ubuntu is preventing it from working.. providing your own support for unsupported hardware can be challenging | 23:58 |
| robjloranger | then switch the mode to modem | 23:58 |
| ComviqKali | i have that already | 23:58 |
| holstein | ComviqKali: have you tried the vendor? some support linux.. | 23:58 |
| ComviqKali | no, i meant i have put on modeswitch | 23:59 |
| ComviqKali | and i've played some settings from guides | 23:59 |
| ComviqKali | im always up at midnight so kind of hard | 23:59 |
| robjloranger | so if you type usb-devices the driver listed for the dongle say modem? | 23:59 |
| mister_m | robjloranger: what if I don't have grub installed | 23:59 |
