[00:00] i'm guessing it is a mixer control mapping setting, but i don't know how to verify [00:00] well i think i'm doing something wrong in modeswitch [00:00] mister_m: what do you have? [00:00] robjloranger: just a basic 14.04 desktop install [00:00] because i specify one product and another one shows up [00:00] mister_m: you should have grub then [00:00] i'll bump it up to 0.20 BTC [00:00] if someone can teamview and help me [00:01] mister_m: if you ls /etc/default do you see grub listed? [00:01] because i've sat some time with this now, and tried various modeswitch settings but im doing something wrong [00:01] ComviqKali: its not that kind of support here, friend.. this is just volunteer community support.. anyone is welcome to do what they like with and for you.. but, its not remote support like that [00:01] are you saying i am not allowed to ask for "that kind of support" ? [00:01] ComviqKali: if you have not asked the creator of the hardware, try that.. nothing is preventing them from supporting you in linux [00:02] ComviqKali: you can ask what you like. .im saying, you dont get remote support here like that [00:02] robjloranger: I did after I installed it [00:02] Like I said i wake up far to late for that right now [00:02] its 1 AM and I just woke up [00:02] ComviqKali: sure.. but, ubuntu is *all* open. top to bottom.. nothing is hiding or preventing them from supporting you.. they, ideally, would be the best first place to ask [00:02] robjloranger: anyway, setting that line to "text" and running update-grub with sudo seems to result in no change [00:03] am I to select text only from the grub menu? [00:03] holstein: I know this kind of support, most unlikely the support knows linux [00:03] you have to realise it's not like the state [00:03] states* [00:03] chances of them solving it for me is 1:1000000 [00:04] mister_m: that would work, you could also then set text only as the default boot option [00:04] ComviqKali: sure. but, they *are* the ones with the information to actuallly help you the easiest.. [00:04] hey all [00:04] One problem I have is when I run usb_modeswitch - virtualbox sometimes ejects my device and the modeswitch fails [00:04] ComviqKali: youa re virtualized? [00:04] it's like it pulls it out, pulls it back in [00:04] yes [00:05] wait what [00:05] ComviqKali: you should try it natively [00:05] indeed [00:05] ComviqKali: that can be the issue.. you should be able to test this with a live CD [00:05] Can Ubuntu be used as a decent server..like web server, a file server, or a mail server [00:05] mk20: Yes. [00:05] mister_m: how new is your computer? [00:05] mk20: "decent" is a matter of opinion. ubuntu has a server edition and its well supported [00:05] what should i download Jordan_U [00:05] !server [00:05] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [00:06] Can I install ubuntu on a mac? [00:06] like on a mac hardware [00:06] yes [00:06] ComviqKali: nothing about ubuntu is preventing that [00:06] awesome ill have a look at it [00:06] !mac [00:06] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [00:06] I don't see tho why one brand of 3G stick could work in virtualbox and not other [00:07] ComviqKali: Why are you trying to configure the dongle in the guest rather than the host OS in the first place? [00:08] I've installed Dalvik Debug Monitor Server from software center (Using 14.04 LTS AMD64). But application crashes. Any idea? Error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7407599/ [00:09] Jordan_U: Because I want two independent internet connections [00:10] marjinal1st: which Java are you using? [00:10] robjloranger: I'm installingthe iso into a virtual box instance. It would appear that my grub menu is not being generated with the change to 'text' [00:10] daftykins: oracle java 7, installed with webupd8 installer [00:11] marjinal1st: ok just checking it wasn't an unofficial java, or open source java [00:11] robjloranger: I still see quiet splash and not text for instance [00:11] marjinal1st: those messages almost make ddms out to be an android app though, heh [00:12] mister_m: oh, did you edit the file as a superuser? === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [00:13] robjloranger: yes [00:13] when i eject device and reconnect it says unable to mount COMVIQ MODEM block device /dev/sr1 [00:13] is this normal? [00:14] mister_m: could you please pastebin your grub file? [00:14] robjloranger: sure [00:14] thanks [00:18] robjloranger: http://pastebin.com/z9GAGF7W === Hasbro is now known as JoshG [00:19] * Overboost is away: bbl [00:21] mister_m: looks ok, and you updated grub ok? then restarted the virtual machine? [00:27] loa: steam is back up [00:31] can someone tell me how i can change my modem from /dev/ttyUSB1 to /dev/ttyUSB2 ? [00:31] i read somewhere this solved my problem but not sure where to change that in wvdial and such [00:33] hi guys [00:34] I would like to help make Ubuntu better. How can I provide information so my wireless chipset gets better support in the future? [00:35] mattwj2002: you can always try the manufacturer [00:35] hello. i am on 14.04, and need to install synapse, but it is not in the repo yet. according to this bug report, the temporary solution is to download the 13.10 package:https://bugs.launchpad.net/synapse-project/+bug/1288839 how do i do that? [00:35] Launchpad bug 1288839 in Synapse "synapse package missing in 14.04 Trusty Tahr" [Undecided,New] [00:36] holstein: I thought there was a way to submit your hardware profile in ubuntu? [00:36] maybe they removed that function [00:36] DiAnne167: https://launchpad.net/~synapse-core/+archive/testing [00:37] thanks, holstein [00:40] mattwj2002, did you search for it in the dash? [00:40] dash? no I did not I'll take a look [00:42] what is dash is that a new shell? [00:42] :-s [00:42] mattwj2002, the overlay that appears when you click on the ubuntu logo in the launcher [00:42] oh [00:43] in gimp i am on a text layer but when i select the text tool gimp 2.8 will only allow me to make a new textbox it wont let me edit the text [00:45] basketball: you can edit the text in the layers view [00:46] how [00:46] double-click? [00:46] basketball: CTRL+L to bring up layers [00:47] double click only lets me change layer name [00:48] So audio devices and uhm "routes" or "channels" have a hw:0:0 thing. How can I get the X:X value for a null-sink I have created? XD [00:48] basketball: eh, just click the text on the image. It should highlight and just type. [00:48] no it starts to draw a new text box [00:48] if it helps it is a psd [00:49] basketball: are you on the same layer as the text? [00:49] yes [00:49] basketball: has this already been saved? [00:50] yes [00:50] hola [00:50] basketball: you probably can't edit it now. You'll need to save something in the .xcf format for be able to edit it all later. [00:50] basketball: you can save copies in a different format though. [00:52] viper474, i saved a copy as xcf [00:52] basketball: open that one and see if you can edit it instead. [00:53] viper474, nope [00:54] !ops [00:54] Help! Channel emergency!

[00:54] oops [00:54] sorry [00:54] yes hello [00:54] viper474, is there a different program i can use [00:54] basketball: on layers does it show a separate text layer? It has a T in it. [00:54] rww: sorry, my mistake [00:54] nedbat: okays :) [00:55] it is as a diffent layer but does not have a t it is its on layer though [00:56] viper474, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [00:56] basketball: maybe you merge them into one. It needs to remain a separate text layer to be able to change it. Otherwise it becomes just a graphic. [00:56] one what [00:56] basketball: you must have merged the text layer down into the background layer. Now it's not editable. [00:56] basketball: one flat, un-editable image.. not in layers.. one sigular leel [00:56] level* [00:57] can open to grab the serial number from a laptop? [00:57] viper474, all i did was downloaded the psd file and in photoshop at school converted cmky to rgb [00:57] can UBUNTU 12.04 grab the serial number from a laptop? [00:58] tripelb: depends.. id say, not specifically [00:58] tripelb: any vendor could create a tool to do so, if they wanted to [00:59] basketball: I haven't used Photoshop. I'm not sure what to tell you, but google search seems to imply you can't edit Photoshop text. [01:00] is there a different program i can use [01:00] if i had access to the photoshop session, i would save it as whatever it would take to edit it with open tools.. [01:01] holstein, i dont have access to photoshop [01:01] basketball: The GIMP is the best application for 2d graphics we have, in my opinion. [01:01] you stated you do at school.. [01:01] The mumber has rubbed off amd samsung wants it. . . before they send me a recovery disk for win8. i booted UBUNTU then didnt lnow what to do. Also I did not know how to look at yhe win-dtive's contents - in Unity. It was obvious in gnome [01:01] holstein, yes but i need to get it done now [01:02] basketball: might not be able to.. they didnt promise you that support.. those files are not open [01:02] tripelb: yes any Linux booted into a live session can dump the windows 8 key from a laptop which came with it [01:02] tripelb: simply run "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM" and the key will be displayed [01:02] Hello [01:03] hi [01:03] i just finished copying my /home to my external and copying sources and my selected packages apt-get [01:03] did a fresh install of 14.04 i used to have 13.10 [01:03] i then copyied over sources and my home folder === Guest3027 is now known as nicnm [01:04] is this the correct was to backup reinstall and upgrade [01:04] well, in future i would partition /home separately so you don't have to go to that effort [01:05] then you'd just have to format and clean install to your / partition and not backup like that [01:05] daftykins: uh oh. don't say "not backup". =P [01:05] ;) [01:06] daftykins, when you clean install with an existing home dir, what happens about file permissions? [01:06] how do you run python code on ubuntu after its been installed? [01:06] django: python prog.py [01:06] * daftykins is a rebel without a cause, he lives on the edge... he doesn't always do things the way people want him to but by Tux, he gets the job done. [01:06] ji daftykins i dont know how to even see the windows files. the directory window doesnt show "up" outside of the "file syatem" how do I see that? ( the wimdows key and the physical device Serial Number ate different numbers. [01:06] no its not working [01:06] * viper474 doesn't have anything that valuable to backup anyway. [01:06] viper474, I need: #!/usr/bin/python3.4 [01:07] i was on 13.10 and i copyied over sources and my selected packages [01:07] viper474, how do I know the correct path [01:07] !info python3.4 [01:07] python3.4 (source: python3.4): Interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 3.4). In component main, is important. Version 3.4.0-2ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 159 kB, installed size 325 kB [01:07] didi a clean install of 14.04 [01:07] heh, didn't know it was that high already [01:07] daftykins: i will remember "by Tux" lol [01:07] and now im trying to reinstall all my old apps [01:07] tripelb: the windows 8 license key is embedded in the EFI, the command i mentioned run from a LiveCD/USB will show it. [01:07] tripelb: ;D [01:10] ok after I rebooted my ubuntu this message appeared on screen. I pressed M now I can no longer login to my account (password is correct) when I enter password a terminal page appears and disapears very fast [01:10] holstein, i might be able to get photoshop if i can what do i need to do [01:10] Don't ask me to reinstall ubuntu its not helpfull [01:11] daftykins: thanks for that tidbit please it wasn't what I can for apps but I will remember it. [01:11] after I rebooted my ubuntu this message appeared on screen. I pressed M now I can no longer login to my account (password is correct) when I enter password a terminal page appears and disapears very fast [01:11] tripelb: is there something else you wanted or is getting the windows 8 key it? [01:12] daftykins: hi [01:12] hello [01:13] I found this Samsung laptop it has you can connection so I bought a cord from RadioShack to connect to a US outlet. the computer work but is password locked. I have no idea how it got into a purse behind a wood panel in my garden. [01:13] I'm using my live usb to login right now but need help to fix this. after I pressed manual recovery I can't login anymore [01:13] daftykins: I wanted to extract the serial number of the laptop. I was told its manufacture specific and isn't available [01:14] tripelb: really 0o what brand did you say again? [01:15] so I booted UBUNTU And tried to look at the windows partition. I don't know how to see it using Unity. In gNome all of the volumes show in the directory window. [01:15] !/tmp [01:15] !tmp [01:15] tripelb: assuming all the labels on the underside have worn off, sometimes some information is written inside the setup/BIOS/EFI screen, which you get by pressing something like F2, delete, etc. after powering on [01:16] did you check the places tab in your file manager? [01:16] daftykins: right on. I tried that at first but it was not there. [01:17] tripelb: you're really just looking for the laptop model #? such as mine is the "Asus U36SD" ? [01:17] tripelb: you try a little: sudo fdisk [01:17] Full disclosure I know nothing about linux: I just ran my netbook with xubuntu and it's asking me to upgrade to ubuntu 14.04? will that change my OS? [01:18] robjloranger: places have? I never noticed that. When I get home I'll go look for that. ( but when I get home I will have no internet connectivity because blankety blank virgin is fixing the towers again) [01:18] misingnolic1: yes, but not really. just an upgrade to tha latest and greatest [01:18] robjloranger: But it's having me upgrade to ubuntu when I run xbuntu on this machine [01:19] misingnoglic1: upgrades aren't without risk, you should have a backup before trying an upgrade [01:19] That's not my concern, my concern is that the name of the OS I am upgrading to is different from the OS I am currently running [01:19] xbuntu is just ubuntu with another desktop environment, i run kubuntu but get notified there is a new version of ubuntu [01:19] daftykins: the model is NP535U4C [01:20] your desktop environment should stay the same [01:20] ok, thanks [01:20] viper474: fdisk ah so. i will. it won't show me the files but it will show me stuff I haven't seen yet. [01:21] tripelb: should show you volumes if you need to mount them [01:21] I need the perfect for me Linux text. That's too complicated and yet not too simple. So I can look back and remind myself of the things I used to know [01:21] but as daftykins said, you may want to make a backup of important files in case something goes wrong. unlikely but possible [01:22] tripelb: ooooh, i've worked on on of those [01:22] *one [01:22] viper474: would you remind me how to mount? ( I do declare, I could do everything in gnome and nothing in unity) [01:22] tripelb: that's the little samsung with the AMD A6 or A8 or similar [01:22] daftykins: run and that's quite the gift. [01:23] tripelb: open a shell (terminal) and type: sudo mkdir /media/newdrive [01:23] tripelb: sudo mount /dev/sd*1 /media/newdrive [01:23] it doesn't have to be so complicated, it should be available as a volume in your filemanager. [01:23] tripelb: sooo are you just somehow after fixing windows 8 on this, but samsung won't send a disc? [01:23] this screams 1998 [01:24] tripelb: there's a bunch of options you could add to that but...I dunno. The sd* depends on the letter that follow based on fdisk output. [01:24] daftykins: AMD -A8-4555M APU 1.6GHZ CPU VT supported. 6MB RAM BIOS P06RAR [01:25] ah-har [01:26] robjloranger: sometimes it won't list a drive like it will a usb drive [01:26] oh, sorry :) so far I have been lucky with recent distributions === at is now known as Guest88791 [01:27] everything just works, it's pretty nice [01:28] Hello, after the recent update my Ubuntu toolbar moved from the side to the bottom of the screen - is there any way to move it back to the left? [01:30] Guest88791: I don't use unity, but have you tried right-clicking the bar and selecting settings or properties? === rpeters is now known as DJ_Unibob [01:31] Thanks robjloranger, I tried but nothing appears === rutt is now known as ruttle [01:31] daftykins: Samsung will eventually send a disk if I send them a photo of the label on the back but the man who called me back today did not send me a email he must have gotten the email address wrong and did not call back to follow through. so snafu for now. ... I like to fiddle around was helping to see what I could do it myself. I have never used a Windows 8 machine so it's horribly interesting in a way. ... I just got Windowsphone because [01:31] daftykins: if they didn't send me a disc would I have to do just erase the hard drive and use Ubuntu? [01:32] hey guys i am using ubuntu 12.04.4 and randomly on my laptop when I am using Ubuntu it completely freezes, no response, no keys work nothing at all except a restart.. [01:32] what can i do to diagnose this error [01:32] tripelb: oh no [01:32] viper474: thanks for the mount command. [01:33] Psil0Cybin: i have a 2002 dell with similar. [01:34] Psil0Cybin: i'd start with a memtest [01:34] tripelb, i was hoping that 14.04 will fix this issue, but :( i just am worried that one day i will be working on a file forget to safe for a few minutes and bam [01:34] frozen [01:34] hence why i save every few seconds but online form filling is annoying [01:34] worrying this will happen [01:34] daftykins: right. i will do that.. [01:34] so you think it may be memory? [01:34] Guest88791: have you tried logging out and back into your desktop to see if it was a temporary glitch? [01:35] tripelb: have a look at my private message [01:35] Psil0Cybin: it's the #1 place to start, very common and easy to test (just takes time) [01:35] as soon as I get a 12.04 disk (that isnt amd) tripelb puts that on her list. [01:35] daftykins, after a memory test, if the memory is fine what would be my next step just writting it all down [01:35] :D [01:35] robjloranger: yes I did log out... do you maybe know where I could find info about recent updates? and why did they change it? [01:36] Psil0Cybin: probably checking the state of your hard disk - for whether it's flaking out. that's one you could do now though actually, prior to memtest [01:36] Can I change the default SDL video mode? [01:36] Psil0Cybin: you'll need to run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" in a terminal [01:36] daftykins, how ca ni go about doing this? Would it damage my hard disk in any way? or is it just a quick test? [01:36] daftykins, do you think i can run that test now? [01:37] sure [01:37] Guest88791: http://www.zdnet.com/ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr-review-solid-and-stable-but-no-big-changes-7000028437/ [01:37] Psil0Cybin: you may need to install smartmontools to get that program (smartctl) [01:37] yea [01:37] sudo: smartctl: command not found [01:37] Guest88791: i don't think they moved the toolbar [01:37] alright one second [01:39] my boss gave me a $1200 budget for a new work computer. open to suggestions, thinking a thinkpad with intel graphics chipset ? I want hdmi / vga so I can have tri-monitor setup [01:39] robjloranger: I'm using ubuntu 12.04 though, should I start using 14.04? [01:39] lappiesearch: that new mouse though... [01:39] I started with mint, and went to 14.04 (happy) [01:40] viper474: new mouse? I usually use a logitech wireless in conjunction === chamunks is now known as zz_chamunks [01:40] if not broke don't fix [01:40] lappiesearch: ah, maybe not a problem then === Captain_h00k is now known as h00k [01:42] does anyone know a command to mount the disk drive for /tmp manually from terminal?? I can't login ubuntu 12.04 anymore === vladhaund_ is now known as vladhuand [01:43] sam___: /tmp typically isn't on a different disk === vladhuand is now known as vladhaund [01:43] sam___: disk full? [01:44] daftykins: I got this error:The Disk Drive for /tmp is not ready yet. S to skip mount or M for manual recovery . I pressed M now I can't login anymore [01:44] sam___: so 'sudo fdisk -l' to identify which partition on your disk would likely be /tmp, you can type "mount" on its' own to see which are already mounted [01:44] daftykins: when I enter my account info and enter a black terminal page appears and disappears fast [01:45] sam___: then typically it'd be "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdx# /tmp" [01:45] look at your fstab? [01:45] assuming EXT4 file system and /dev/sdx# would be e.g. sda3 (but just an example) [01:45] that'd also be a good call [01:45] it should tell what it asume /tmp to be [01:45] the one with ex4 format has tmp in it right?? [01:45] can tell it's late my time. [01:47] viper474, i might be able to get photoshop if i can what do i need to do [01:48] Hello, can anybody help me with what packages provide vdpau support? [01:48] brenner: apt-cache search vdpau [01:49] nith but which one there are many [01:49] libvdpau1 i believe [01:49] !info libvdpau1 [01:49] libvdpau1 (source: libvdpau): Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (libraries). In component main, is optional. Version 0.7-1 (trusty), package size 25 kB, installed size 118 kB [01:49] yip.

[01:55] hi [01:59] Jettis: hi! [01:59] hi [02:00] sorry guys on a completely unrelated question: how can i stop multicast address from my router from spamming my UFW logs how can i write a work around so i do not have to deal with these constant error messages (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222335) [02:00] also why is this happening? [02:02] Bashing-om: viper474 you both here? [02:02] guest98765: yup, I am [02:03] viper474: new idea... Can I run calibre from the command line without a desktop.. ie xfce? [02:04] Psil0Cybin: i wish i could just "reinstall ubuntu" and rewrite all the system files. i have been licky cause all previous ubintus (starting in '06) just worked. [02:04] haha sorry just a tad bit confused, but why is UFW logging all those packets coming from my router, is that normal? should I leave it as is? [02:04] I am just trying to learn how to use UFW properly. [02:04] viper474: i think midnight commander will run from terminal. [02:05] viper474: that can be my file manager to move files around. [02:05] thanks for all the good conversation. for a while #ubuntu seemed like'meam streets' but now like old times. [02:05] guest98765: I haven't used Calibre. =/ [02:06] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpEOmZTYA4A [02:07] viper474: so calibre might need something other than xorg? [02:08] guest98765: looks like there might be a command line interface [02:08] guest98765: what were you going to use calibre to do? [02:08] viper474: then all I need to do is install calibre and see what happens. [02:09] guest98765: sudo apt-get install calibre [02:10] viper474: use calibre to change e-book formats to epub. remember from last night I have an 80 gig drive in this computer... [02:11] guest98765: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html there's a command to just convert files [02:12] viper474: last night after I logged off I ran one last command >>> audo apt-get check >> it came back with no errors ... [02:15] I'm trying to gain control of dnsmasq on my computer. Can someone help me please? [02:16] guest98765: you can try to run calibre with xorg and see if it works. If so, that will most likely be easier. [02:17] guest98765: and if you wanted to try to install iceweasel as a web browser, that might be easier than elinks if it works with just xorg [02:20] hello [02:20] yo yo yo [02:20] viper474: I thought about this all day... xfce would be nice... But if I can use this computer to do what I want from CL that will be fine... Yes iceweasel good Idea... But I do not need to browse with this machine... I think I might have enough with what is loaded... afterall if calibre does not work Linux should give me an error message as to what I need to install to make it work. [02:21] guest98765: ah, ok. Just going to create a library machine, sounds like. That's cool. [02:21] are you using xchat or what? [02:21] I want to learn the linux system from inside out, like from baby stages (where I'm at now) until I'm a master at one or two (at least) fields. How can I do this? [02:21] kingmofo: ye. [02:22] I would start of by learnign the basics in Terminal [02:22] hey [02:22] viper474: and midnight commander to help with moving files.. [02:22] hi [02:22] *learning [02:22] what are you all up to [02:22] viper474: I think I will go with that and Purge xfce4 [02:23] talking about learning, any of you familiar with sed? [02:23] Hi kingmofo. Is there a documentation area (like for instance for html, there is w3schools) that can teach me step-by-step? [02:23] guest98765: lxde might be an option. Not sure why xfce didn't work [02:23] hardly but I do know its super nice [02:23] yeah learn from codeacademy [02:23] at http://www.codeacademy.com [02:24] anyone around who know why I'm seeing a different language for certain things (GDM, synaptic, etc . . . ) [02:24] Thanks kingmofo. [02:24] i'm writing a script and i need to replace about 5,6 lines of consecutive text [02:24] I'll look into it. [02:24] I have two languages installed, English shows up for 99% of things [02:24] but Telugu shows up for limited things [02:24] what's the best way? [02:24] your welcome Speiros [02:24] pdfs can be easer cause you don't need a connection after you get them, imho [02:25] viper474: lxde is also a choice... again thanks for all your help last night. [02:25] Bashing-om: again thanks for all your help last night. [02:25] I'm new ro irc tho so does anyone know the the command to quit [02:25] guest98765: no problem. I didn't wake up feeling as tired as I thought I might. [02:25] Goodnight people. Best wishes, and chat again soon. [02:26] kingmofo: /quit [02:26] goodnight [02:26] okay thanks viper474 [02:26] viper474: i went till midnight last night... took a nap today... [02:27] kester__ you could look into the info/man pages for additional details but sed should do what you want, tho you need to be very specific from my understanding of it [02:28] n i don't have much understanding other than 's/string/replace/g' for Search Global [02:28] nicnm that's as much as i know too [02:28] i know i can keep pulling the file multiple times and working through line by line but that isn't efficient [02:29] Guest31033: I just got back on, playing catch up once more, Hey , my little bit to help -> we are all in this together. [02:29] hello im back [02:30] Bashing-om: I think he lefted-ed. [02:31] how do you properly create a backup of a Ubuntu server? /var/log and /etc? anything else? [02:31] phuh: the important stuff is in /home [02:31] true [02:31] viper474: Yeah, so I noticed - after I seen the '31033" - cat in lap - demanding cat ! - makes for some difficulties paying attention . Thanks ! [02:31] phuh: oops, didn't read server though... [02:32] anything else that's sitting in the system?

[03:22] nicnm: well, it's just simple way of saying if and else [03:22] nicnm: wait. misread. [03:22] i'm having a tough time understanding what the uses of them could b [03:23] thx [03:24] nicnm: hmm, arg1 | arg2 looks missing some context to me, can you post full command ? [03:25] nicnm, man expr [03:26] I'm looking @ the man and am just having a difficult time figuring out what the uses would be [03:27] nickhs, i don't think so, there is very clear explanation. [03:27] expr arg1 | arg2 seems to be a way of using the exit status of a script [03:28] arg1 | arg2 , return arg1 if it is neither null or 0, otherwise return arg2 ,simualr for arg1 & arg2 ,only return 0 [03:29] would I be partly correct is that use of it?(exit status of script that is) [03:30] my tmp drive doesnt mount automatically can somone tell me a command toload it? [03:31] nickhs, expr is just math and logic operations, what is going on with result is another question. [03:32] hey guys [03:32] does anyone know of any wizardpen alternatives?

[03:47] Zungo: Fix the problem. Generally starting with what the package manager advises. [03:48] excalibr, Your issue is the key one for help. [03:48] Bashing-om: How? it doesnt give information. [03:49] Zungo: What returns from terminal commands -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <-. Good place to ask of the system. === s3ri0us|away is now known as s3ri0us [03:49] Beldar, hmm? [03:50] Bashing-om: Packages are fine.

[03:51] its not an application, the thing pops up almost every time i log on [03:53] and i currently have graphical glitches with unity, and if the screen turns off when it returns i dont have mouse control anymore and on xfce if i lock the screen the mouse stops working and the screen glitches [03:53] an x restart solves the issue [03:54] Beldar, do you get issue with grub screen showing black bg with purple fg screen when booting up? [03:54] Why almost everything depends on plymouth!? [03:54] Bashing-om: ... [03:54] excalibr, I have the gnome shell, so a different splash after grub. [03:54] Zungo: Umphp !, now that might be tough to isolate. Might take a look at the log file /var/log/dmesg for some hints. Else real tough to get the boot messages real time. [03:55] yo [03:55] Beldar, I'm not talking about the splash screen [03:55] but the grub screen that showing for a brief second before that [03:56] excalibr, I have a custom background in grub. [03:56] Zungo: A thought, splash screen ya think ? .. maybe boot to terminal and start the desktop from there (??). [03:56] excalibr, So this shows in a short shot between the bios and grub gui?

[06:12] I do not see PATH being used in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc [06:12] yellowfish: Have you added access permissions for 'root'@'localhost' or where-ever the PHP script is connecting from? [06:12] What could have removed that directory from PATH? [06:12] no TJ- [06:12] And is there a way to make sure /usr/local/bin is always available in the PATH (system wide) [06:12] ? [06:12] brahmana: ~/.profile maybe [06:12] yellowfish: That'll be it then, you need to GRANT access privileges on a per-user, per-host basis === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [06:13] how to connect andriod to ubuntu (linux) like windows i mean we can asses both sd card and phone memory and file system too [06:13] brahmana: /etc/profile /etc/profile.d [06:13] dw1: ~/.profile does refer to PATH but it just adds one more directory [06:14] error is: can't read "ns_o3": no such variable while executing "set ns[new simulator]" (file "n.tcl" line 2) [06:14] brahmana: Maybe ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile is re-setting the path?

For TCP socket connections there needs to be a privilege [06:16] yellowfish: check your code ...... ##php [06:16] dw1 :p all i want is to connect ma phone like it is conected in windows [06:17] yellowfish: See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html [06:17] yes i have question [06:17] nd: easiest is to set you phone to usb block storage mode if it supprots that [06:17] nd: i would know already if i googled it for you but you can do that [06:17] how can i use my vps as a proxy server for myself?

[06:17] TJ-: bingo that grep found it. .bash_profile was messing it up [06:17] nodedfree: pretty straightforward. [06:18] TJ-: and dw1 thank you [06:18] thx [06:18] easiest ist ssh dynamic portforward, it creates a socks proxy you can connect to [06:18] ikonia: hi, do you remember my issue from the other day?

That makes *all* your traffic look to originate from the VPS [06:20] nd: unlikley to happen easy [06:20] Kartagis: as I said, vivid memory of it [06:20] TJ-, squid will do the work as well? [06:20] nd: http://google.com/search?q=ubuntu+mount+android [06:21] yellowfish: I've been caught out by that before; Sometimes the PHP process is not bound to localhost, and is trying to connect from another IP on the host, such as it's LAN or WLAN IP [06:21] nd: a lot of phones use mpd to present the phone as a disk, which just doesn't have good support [06:21] I don't think it is. I just started a new DigitalOcean droplet [06:21] with a fresh mysql installation [06:21] nodedfree: If you only want to proxy HTTP (port 80) and nothing else [06:21] and lamp [06:22] yellowfish: check the mysql log files, it'll tell you why the connection is denied [06:22] TJ-, i want all traffic as you said.. so i need to connect via vpn?

[06:24] yea, but I've been asking about this for 2 weeks now and you're the one showed interest [06:26] Kartagis: I'm sure someone will help you, as I recall I asked you why you thought it wasn't using the right module [06:26] Kartagis: Show us the output of "lspci -nn | grep Graphics" [06:26] there you go, someone else has interest, thanks TJ- [06:26] is ubuntu unity the most buggy desk env ?

[06:28] do not randoml insmod things blindly [06:28] mgolisch: or apt-get? [06:28] Kartagis: That isn't the output I asked for ... I want "lspci -nn ..." [06:29] Kartagis: but maybe that doesnt apply to that specific intel chip you have [06:31] Kartagis: does vainfo return any errors? [06:31] i need some simple steps to mount my android just like it mount on windows ..m not a windows lover [06:31] mgolisch: That might be applicable if the kernel driver had loaded. It seems the issue is that on the installed system the kernel driver doesn't load [06:31] nd: youd probably going to struggle with that due to mpd [06:32] what does a t at the end of ls -l mean? drwxrwxrwt 38 root root 4096 May 7 08:24 tmp [06:32] ikonia mpd?

[06:36] ikonia: the most newbie method would be great have searched around but.... [06:37] hucasys: as I said, I'm not aware of a simple app that does it [06:37] it maybe worth having a read of this [06:37] !ics | hucasys [06:37] hucasys: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [06:37] i need to install puppet2.7 version.. [06:37] right, ok, thnx [06:37] sasuke: ok, what's stopping you [06:38] when i'm using normal "sudo apt-get puppet" its installing 3.2 version [06:38] Kartagis: OK, the following command confirms that the i915 driver *should* be loaded... "modinfo i915 | egrep '^alias:.*8086.*2A4[23]' " [06:39] sasuke: right as that's the supported version for your current ubuntu release. [06:39] Kartagis: So now, you need to check whether it has been disabled/blacklisted from auto-loading: "grep i915 /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf" [06:39] sorry 3.4 version is installing.. but my puppet-master version is 2.7. So i want to install 2.7 version in clients also [06:39] sasuke: is this on a corperate network ? [06:39] sasuke: or home ? [06:39] home [06:39] Kartagis: Also, you should review the log-files to see if it is trying and failing to load, "grep i915 /var/log/kern.log" [06:40] sasuke: ok, so you should probably consider taking the master up to supported versions, [06:40] btw i'm using centos for puppet master and ubuntu is agent [06:40] sasuke: other than that you'll need to find or build a repo holding the 2.7 client for your ubuntu relese. [06:40] i even tried by installing master on ubuntu.. but the problem is puppet-master [06:41] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7408754/ and grep i915 /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf doesn't return a thing [06:41] service is not starting [06:41] sasuke: look at why it doesn't start [06:41] logs are showing empty [06:41] sasuke: start it manually then and get debug to the console [06:41] TJ-: also, grep i915 /var/log/kern.log doesn't return anything [06:42] Kartagis: but it loaded? [06:42] how can i do that.. i'm not sure. can you give me some link if u hav [06:42] Kartagis: If you don't see anything obvious in the log, then start a monitor on it with "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log" and then manually load the module from another terminal with "sudo modprobe i915". The log should show something [06:43] sasuke: I don't have any link, the upstart job is just a shell script, so walk through the init process manually [06:44] TJ-: nothing in logs [06:44] ikonia wt was the name again mpd should i search in g play [06:44] Kartagis: Is that when you try to modprobe the module? [06:45] ikonia, sorry to say this, i am not getting what you are saying.. i dont know linux in deep.. i have very little knowledge. [06:45] TJ-: yeah, but when I do modprobe i91 it is completed to i915_wd [06:45] sorry, i915_bdw [06:45] TJ-: ^ === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [06:46] nd: pardon ? [06:46] Kartagis: what does this show: "find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name 'i915*' " [06:46] TJ-: when I do modprobe i915_bdw, I get "i915_bdw: exports duplicate symbol i915_release_power_well (owned by i915)" [06:46] Kartagis: blindly typing commands is not going to help [06:47] Kartagis: pay attention to EXACTLY what you are being asked to do [06:47] okay, sorry [06:48] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7408785/ [06:48] hey [06:48] cannot log in into my computer after installing unbuntu 14.

[06:51] mtp yes [06:51] Kartagis: Have you added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line ? [06:51] mgolisch: lol yes... typo here :) [06:52] MPT = Media Transfer Protocol, a way to 'mount' a volume on multiple hosts, safely.

I'm asking about the LUKS key and if the OS, Ubuntu, has the key to access t [07:14] he LUKS filesystem, obviously, if that key could or could not by accessed remotely by agencies. [07:15] Basicly my question is that, if Ubuntu is just another nsa front like Facebook, would or would not a LUKS key be vunerable after accessing a LUKS filesystem from an Ubuntu computer connected to the internet at the time or later.

How to install additional drivers and configure them correctly? I like nvdidia much and I wish to use them as a primary drivers. [07:28] karab44: I got around it by using the kernel UVESA driver to ensure I have terminal display too, by adding to the kernel command-line "video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1200-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" [07:29] So that's everything I need to do?

[09:35] thanks to both ;) [09:35] my provider offered a fresh install already :) [09:35] and you can upgrade early if you're brave [09:36] dw1: i know - but i tend to upgrade those 10 boxes if .1 is released. that worked good in the past and i dont see a reason to change that so far ;) [09:36] Guys I think this is a bug that I can't log to any tty ... [09:36] fidel__: yes, good practice [09:37] Rory: it was my Laptop drive, and it was working fine until my windows crashed. [09:37] karab44: misconfiguration, maybe? whatd you do?

First would be running recovery mode and reinstalling nvidia drivers for "tested" after that [09:44] karab44: im curious if the ttys are on mainboard video display :) [09:45] karab44: crawl under the desk and switch it.... :D [09:45] well...

[09:49] I mean just curson [09:49] should ask for login [09:49] ahh [09:49] cursor is blinking [09:50] so basically it's not even a prompt I believe [09:51] karab44: one reported it was kernel related [09:52] wooah I am back [09:52] you know what?

[10:30] dw1: I am going to examine some logs and look around, I appreciate all your help thanks [10:30] Boggie: Give that a try :) should be able to copy it to an ISO [10:31] let's hope so.

[12:07] you should ditch ftp and use sftp [12:07] ~~PASS ******** Response: 530 Login incorrect. Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server [12:07] demoz: sure it won't. you generate a password but you don't set it. neither as system- nor as vsftp-password [12:08] llutz the wierd thing is that in previous version password did work well.. i probably messed something,but i can't see/locate what :( [12:09] demoz: your script is missing the lines setting the users password [12:09] demoz: and as Ben64 stated, use sftp [12:11] llutz you and Ben64 are totally right,but i digged earlier some script and decided to change it and to customize,this is best i could do without any experience :) [12:11] hi [12:12] llutz can you help me to set generated password for the $1 user pretty please? [12:13] demoz: sftp works anywhere ssh does, much easier to use and much more secure [12:13] demoz: sudo passwd ? [12:13] demoz: you need to crypt the generated password and then use usermod to set it, look here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-write-shell-script-to-add-user.html [12:14] how can i install graphics driver on ubuntu 14.04 LTS [12:14] sonjoy: depends which driver you need [12:14] sonjoy: additional drivers [12:14] intel graphics driver [12:14] should already be built into the kernel [12:15] sonjoy: i suppose, if that's what you used at install time should be in use already [12:15] demoz: or you could use "/usr/sbin/chpasswd" for that [12:15] oh, ubuntu probes for hardware at boot too i reckon [12:16] llutz chpasswd? [12:16] demoz: but still, setting up a highly insecure system just to learn bash is ... odd [12:16] demoz, llutz: yep, should learn things the proper way [12:16] llutz i wanted to customize password by number of characters and symobls to use [12:16] demoz: really, learn shell-scripting with another way [12:17] demoz: you cannot use "passwd" in script, that's where "chpasswd" comes in [12:17] what is this ? https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads isn't it says graphics driver [12:18] sonjoy: generally on linux, you don't download drivers like you would in windows [12:18] sonjoy_: Intel develops the drivers and releases them separately, but since they are open source, every linux distribution includes them automatically. [12:19] sonjoy_: you can download a newer version of the intel driver this way, but ubuntu 14.04 already ships a very recent version of it [12:19] demoz: as i said, your script generates a password just fine (even though pwgen would do it easier) but you have to set users password with the generated string, thats what chpasswd can do [12:19] llutz thank you,i think i understand what was wrong :) [12:19] it should also be noted that downloading drivers and installing manually is not supported here in this channel [12:19] Oh ! thanks!

[12:24] sonjoy_: i don't really know, but it really might not be about the graphics driver [12:24] on a default setup, is core dumps stored anywhere (by apport) ? [12:25] oh...

[13:34] TomyWork: I would also like to mount the share at boot, so I would prefer it would not prompt for a password either. [13:35] GeorgeJ_ ok, you need that package and a file containing two lines: "username=georgej" and "password=georgespassword" [13:36] TomyWork: Cool, Thanks! [13:36] GeorgeJ_ this goes into your fstab: //server/share cifs uid=unixuser,gid=unixgroup,credentials=/path/to/credentials_file,noauto,user 0 0 [13:36] remove the ",noauto" if you want it to mount automatically [13:37] ^ideally place the credentials file in /root/ and set it chmod 600 [13:37] TomyWork: Thank you.

[13:54] I see, thanks! [13:54] ddssc: i'm not familiar with the program at all, but what does "which supervisorctl" report? [13:54] I guess I won't be installing non-LTS versions then, given how lazy I am to upgrade [13:54] supervisorctl is the control comand for supervisor [13:54] yeah i can tell [13:54] supervisor is a control process that runs as service and spawns child processes [13:54] since it has 'ctl' at the end :P === anicki_ is now known as anicki [13:57] can someone tell me where multimedia keys map to mixer? after 12.04 dist-update, lost graphic on screen volume display and volume control / mute [14:17] The clock vanished from the top-right corner of my screen after this morning's update and reboot.

[14:46] armenzg ask FF support channel [14:47] cfhowlett, it's not necessarily a FF specific question - I think is more about packages [14:47] sauce: fai is quite nice, but if they will be on a ambient you have more control. both on fai and drbl you should take care for the pxe boots to be broadcasting on the network [14:47] what is the FF channel? [14:47] hi btw [14:47] maybe some user logs in / gets ip from the server and wipes up an user system [14:48] For this purpose Id rather take one notebook, tune it up to your needs, make a clone on drbl and afterwards deploy them to the other 99s [14:48] dtcrshr i will have a segregated VLAN for this purpose. or a separate physical LAN with an unmanaged switch [14:48] thats the way to go [14:48] hi everyone, how to fix nautilus thumbnails missing in 14.04 [14:48] will be quite fast then, you could easily use multicast [14:49] dtcrshr what did you mean by "ambient" [14:49] running ubuntu trusty and unity and also kde... under a kvm with spice... the kde won't see highres graphics and does not show :display" in the settings. === hanasaki1 is now known as hanasaki [14:49] probabily you will lost more time mounting the notebooks on the desks then deploying the system :D [14:50] sauce: well, sorry for the english, I have a limited vocabulary... but what I wanted to mention was as you told me, a vlan and full network management [14:50] ok perfect thank you [14:50] mostly because of competing dhcp servers [14:50] you speak english very well [14:50] thanks :D [14:51] :D [14:51] if you have 2 dhcp servers, some configurations on the first one may apply. the next server configs, and tag up the vlans that PXE boot should reach === darkbasic_ is now known as darkbasic [14:54] hi, i'm seeing an odd issue where shift on my USB keyboard works for certain characters, and not others, and left and right shift function differently, e.g. I can write "<" with left shift, but not right shift.

[15:11] and it will be accessible from outside? [15:11] or I have to reject all incoming connections using iptables? [15:11] p00rfela: No. That wouldn't be local then :) [15:11] so it is a local mail server and nothing more [15:11] right? [15:11] p00rfela: It should be listening on localhost only I believe. It may ask you to configure it when you install it. I don't remember how Ubuntu does it. [15:13] ok, I agree postfix seems chicky and cute, I am going for it but will it solve my original problem? I mean psad not being able to send messages?

[15:25] butternut__squas: fix the permissions [15:26] butternut__squas: set a proper umask or ACL so your permissions are what you intend them to be [15:26] butternut__squas: what user+pass did you feed the printer? [15:26] i really have some authentication problems with 14.04. there is no prompt anymore and things just get canceled. [15:26] OerHeks: Do you know the package that allows me to use the i386-efi target in ubuntu? [15:27] daftykins none i just made the folder so it was like, public or whatever. it took a lot of work just getting my printer to be able to write to it... [15:29] barryoh, nope, does the manual give you instructions about uefi/rEFIt ? [15:31] OerHeks: The procedure on this blog says to use the command: http://astrofloyd.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/linux-only-installation-on-2006-macbook-using-refind/ [15:31] maybe it'd be easier to use ftp instead of samba? [15:31] OerHeks: but he uses Arch and I can't get Arch to live boot. [15:31] i changed to ubuntu to have a hassle free, unified desktop experience. why does such a basic thing does not work? [15:32] butternut__squas: can you scan a new file to the samba share, then pastebin the output of "ls -al /path/to/scan/share" ? [15:32] Hi, I don't know where to start. I have Ubuntu 14.04. I have my LED-TV hooked up via HDMI. When I turn off my TV (while in Xubuntu/XFCE) and turn it back on, I get no HDMI signal. Only if I swap to TTY1-6 (consoles) I get a signal and have to restart lightdm. This problem does not occur if I select XBMC as a session (I can turn off my TV and turn it on later and still be in XBMC). What could cause this? [15:32] random653565: you're going to need to be a bit more specific than that [15:32] barryoh: why can't you boot arch? [15:33] SAKUJ0: xbmcbuntu? theirs is a custom respin and so can't be supported here. [15:33] It is not XBMCbuntu [15:33] aomine: it gets to a point where it asks how you want to boot options 1 or 2. But it freezes and doesn't respond after the message [15:33] I just have it installed on my normal Ubuntu installation [15:33] and noticed this problem does not occur if I don't boot into XFCE [15:34] For whatever reason Gnome/Ubuntu sessions don't work by themselves (maybe because I disabled Composite)? [15:34] barryoh: have you try aui http://github.com/helmuthdu/aui [15:35] SAKUJ0: try a non-compositing session like xfce4 and so forth [15:35] I did ActionParsnip, I only have XFCE and XBMC working as sessions. The problem occurs within XFCE but not within XBMC [15:36] SAKUJ0: what is the output of: apt-cache policy xbmc use a pastebin to host the output please [15:36] daftykins, well. there is no authentication prompt asking for a password on things such as updates. i dont know how to be more specific than that. [15:38] random653565: you get one if you go to install them [15:38] random653565: clean install or upgrade? [15:39] apt-cache policy xbmc yields http://pastebin.com/H0EeEauj [15:39] daftykins, well, i dont. yes clean install. [15:40] I have a XBMC PPA set up for the most recent version (mainly because it does use other non GPL software that solves issues). Then again, XBMC is the thing that does not have this issue. It is with XFCE (and Gnome/Ubuntu (Unity?) I cannot even start) [15:40] SAKUJ0: then you are using the PPA version. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer to report the issue [15:40] !info xbmc [15:40] xbmc (source: xbmc): XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package). In component universe, is optional. Version 2:12.3+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 15533 kB, installed size 40533 kB === miguel_ is now known as Guest65925 [15:41] could somebody tell me if Ubuntu Trusty has Qt libraries installed by default? [15:41] daftykins, it lists the updates and when i hit install, i can see for a fraction of a second that it wants "authentication.." then just abandons and quit the updater.

[15:41] butternut__squas: ok, you've got your samba share configured incorrectly. [15:42] thanks for the info. [15:42] ActionParsnip, it is not an issue I have with XBMC, though :( I just noticed when I use XBMC as a session this problem does not occur. It occurs if I launch into XFCE without anything started. It does not occur in XBMC or LightDM itself. Just once XFCE is started, I am not allowed to turn off my TV anymore [15:43] How could this be caused by XBMC when I don't even start it? [15:43] SAKUJ0: if you install openbox and select the openbox session at login, is it ok? [15:43] actually a great idea [15:43] that would solve everything [15:43] let me see [15:44] butternut__squas: so your permissions are currently nobody:nogroup , that's not going to allow your local user to deal with files written by the printer. you can try using your share definition to force a different user and group to make it right [15:44] I suspect fluxbox and openbox would be equivalent? [15:44] alternate menu [alt key right of spce bar] not giving right click menu in pcmanfm. How to solve this problem? [15:45] SAKUJ0: yes, both are based on Blackbox [15:45] I am kind of supicious because openbox installs openbox-gnome-session (and kde-session) as well :p [15:45] nlern alt gr meanns alternative graphics, it's something from the old days -- it does not mean alternative menu [15:45] nlern: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [15:45] but let's find out what happens === islandmonkey is now known as mynameisnotdave [15:45] SAKUJ0: those are just to give the options in lightdm, gnome + openbox is pretty slick :) [15:46] Kernel \r on an \m (\l) [15:46] nlern in a terminal, type cat /etc/issue then paste the poutcome here [15:46] nlern: ok and the output of: lsb_release -sc [15:46] thanks for the help i must say. this is already a great idea (dunno why i haven't thought about this myself just too much of an xfce fan i suppose). just googling this issue drove me mad if you couple ubuntu with hdmi and black screen you get kind of overwhelmed by unrelated posts [15:47] Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel \r on an \m (\l) [15:47] nlern fedora is redhat, what brings you here? [15:47] nlern: this is ubuntu support [15:47] daftykins, by adding something to smb.conf or? this is what it says now... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7411121/ [15:48] nlern: ask in #fedora [15:48] #fedora tells to register [15:48] !register | nlern [15:48] nlern: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[15:49] random653565: once the system is setup you wont need your password much at all [15:50] wow thank god ActionParsnip, with openbox the problem does not arise [15:50] SAKUJ0: it doesnt do any compoziting, its sleek and simple [15:50] ActionParsnip, what do you mean? i cannot update my system right now. === akim_ is now known as akim [15:50] random653565: do you need a password reset? [15:51] ActionParsnip, i mean i probably could via apt, but i mean the gui way [15:51] exactly what i need tbh. i am just too much of an xfce fan :p [15:51] how do you set the make -j # for dpkg-buildpackage? was it CONCURRENCY_LEVEL ? [15:51] ActionParsnip, no. i need gksu equivalent on ubuntu to pop up again. [15:51] i'll try to bug-report my issues with the Xubuntu devs and you are a life saver! [15:52] Caelum try #ubuntu-app-devel [15:52] random653565: in trusty, sudo has polkit so it can be used with gui apps [15:53] ActionParsnip, maybe, but i just want to be able to ckick the update button and not running any sudo commands. just like it was on install [15:54] Bah what was it that replaced vinagre... [15:55] xdg-open always open nautilus instead of file. Anyone has a solution? [15:55] random653565: then use software centre [15:56] hello fellow penguins. I have a dvd drive which i cant mount on 12.04. i have googles, but all suggestions are to no avail. can anyone help me with my problem? [15:56] dvd1 how do you try and what goes wrong? [15:56] Hi all [15:56] dvd1: sudo mkdir /media/dvd; sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd something like that should do it [15:56] dvd1: assuming its a data dvd [15:57] ActionParsnip, im just telling you, that all of that is not working because of the lack of any password prompt. [15:57] butternut__squas: ok one moment [15:57] how can I change the resolution of the login screen .. my resolution is 2880x1800 ... [15:57] my desktop resolution is at 2880x1800 [15:57] random653565: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword reset your pasword that way and you should be ok [15:57] force user = user [15:57] force group = group ? [15:57] ActionParsnip: its a an audio cd inserted in it. w8 i will try that thanks for helping, i think i did the same with "cd" yesterday [15:57] i [15:58] alnassafi: you can add a line to lightdm.conf to run xrandr and set the resolution [15:58] daftykins i'll give that a go (force user = user [15:58] force group = group) [15:58] dvd1: if its an audio cd you don't mount it [15:58] butternut__squas: i was wrong, you want create mask: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#CREATEMASK [15:58] witch tool can convert encrypted jpg file to a form witch i can watch it, (like fixing file headers and end)... look at this example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Electronic_codebook_.28ECB.29 [15:59] ActionParsnip: sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 [15:59] ActionParsnip: where is this config?

[15:59] ActionParsnip: well it cant read anything... [16:00] alnassafi: I already gave you enough of a clue, all you had to do was websearch to find the finer points [16:00] dvd1: have you tried other types of optical media? [16:00] I am .. thanx alot .. much appreciated [16:00] vn: that'd kinda count as both debian support and support for your hypervisor, neither of which is available here i'm afraid [16:00] dvd1 first try with a ubuntu live dvd, so you know if the hardware works === Guest24495 is now known as whoever [16:01] MonkeyDust: dont have any [16:02] ActionParsnip: MonkeyDust i ve tried a usual film dvd now and it wont mount it eithe [16:02] dvd1: have you cleaned the lens?

Apply PCIE_ASPM [17:45] (Source: Phoronix) [17:45] As everyone suggested adding this for laptops to have longer battery life.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or if im in the wrong channel, my apologies. [17:47] Armag3dd0n1: if you run a lighter session, you wil use less power as the CPU doesnt have to work o hard [17:47] *so [17:47] I had to login to terminal and disable the conf [17:47] whoever: nova_ thanks for helping im giving up now, good bye )) [17:47] how? im thinking about battery ife on ubuntu [17:47] michaelaguiar: jail the user so they can't leave that directory or that parent directory [17:48] kivy: have you tried using xrandr to set the res? [17:48] whoever: Yep thats what I want to do, so create a new user without home directory, and only give them permission for that one folder? [17:48] how mate [17:48] Armag3dd0n1: use LXDE, or ditch the DE and just use openbox or fluxbox on it's own [17:48] ActionParsnip, no ive never heard of that [17:48] michaelaguiar: there are lots of approaches to improve security like running a virtual machine for your server [17:48] xrandr will set the lightdm or the gui [17:48] i don't get what you mean lol [17:48] kivy: if you run: xrandr do you see a larger resolution? [17:48] dvd1: it may not change any they but what is ls -l /media/cdrom [17:48] I did that in the script [17:48] nova_: I don’t need to get too crazy with it, just lock him into that directory so he can’t access other client folders [17:48] How do I map caps lock to ctrl in Ubuntu 14.04, keyboard layout settings seem to be gone? [17:49] ActionParsnip, it lists several other resolutions higher than what its set at [17:49] Armag3dd0n1: you are using Gnome and Compiz by default, these use lots of RAM and CPU time compared to lighter alternatives. This heaviness causes the CPU to labour more, and use more power [17:49] It is working find I tried the script .. but when I use it in the conf and then reboot .. can not reach login screen [17:49] kivy: ok then you can use xrandr to set a higher resolution [17:49] yeah, how do i change them? sorry. [17:49] michaelaguiar: if they don't have a home directy they won't even beable to log in [17:49] michaelaguiar: recursively remove read write and execute flags for every file in that dir [17:49] whoever: oh really? Should I set their “home” as their site directory?

[17:55] kivy: the VBOX0 bit is the 'screen' if you have a dual head on a real PPC you can set the res per display and so forth [17:55] sexappeal: You'd need to ask in the freebsd channel [17:55] kivy: no idea what that is, sorry [17:56] i can't get into that channel :c [17:56] erm, me again. it looks mad now lol [17:56] alnassafi: whatever your display can do I suppose, you could even go off screen but you will need to scroll the screen by "pushing" off the screen edges [17:56] ActionParsnip, the resolution normally resizes with th virtualbox window [17:56] marius_by: It is a complicated process, there are some manuals on how to do it and it doesn't work 100% all the time [17:56] i liked the look of ubuntu [17:56] :/ [17:56] sexappeal: I'd ask in #freenode for help getting in the channel [17:56] ActionParsnip, so if i were to expand the vbox window, the res would match [17:56] kivy: not sure there dude, sorry [17:57] ActionParsnip: do I need to set up the frequency? [17:57] kivy: maybe #vbox can advise [17:57] alnassafi: i'd imagine so [17:57] sexappeal: Its not something this channel can help you with, as ActionParsnip said, you'll need to join #freenode to ask about how you can get into the channel [17:57] alnassafi: you can set the res with xrandr, just like a normal screen. [17:57] ActionParsnip, np. i can just fullscreen it worst cat. much better boat than i was in. thanks again! [17:57] cat. = case [17:57] kivy: np [17:57] :) [17:57] I can't see my battery now after putting on lxde :/ [17:58] Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 2880 x 1800, maximum 2880 x 1800 [17:58] default connected primary 2880x1800+0+0 0mm x 0mm [17:58] no frequency in my xrandr -q output [18:00] my out put is : http://pastebin.com/u148YiWp [18:00] ActionParsnip: my desktop is fine .. the login screen is the problem ..

[18:01] Armag3ddon1: /leave #ubuntu [18:02] Hey there :) [18:02] ActionParsnip: mxrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080_60.0 [18:03] ActionParsnip: xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080_60.0 [18:03] is there a way to remove all the fancy looks in ubuntu 14.04? lxde and fluxbox i dislike :( === crazybotsmoker is now known as Ishouldbemayor [18:03] i LOVE the look of orig ubuntu [18:03] Armag3dd0n1 ctrl-alt F1 === Ishouldbemayor is now known as ishouldbemayor [18:05] ActionParsnip: I think .. I need to make a file xrandr need to read.. right [18:06] that's not funny ;/ [18:07] anyone else? [18:07] alguna xica [18:07] ? [18:07] allguna xica de mas de 18 [18:07] lxde and fluxbox don;t show my laptop battery [18:08] dude whaT? [18:08] i have a question for you guys....... how do i get ubuntu to auto maticaly load into a program on startup? or just after my user logon??? [18:09] so no one? [18:09] :/ [18:09] iinvitado, English channel. [18:10] Darkknight-dude, What is the problem that has you asking this? [18:10] Darkknight-dude, add it to 'startup applications' [18:10] I have paid for another keyboard because the "a" key does not work on a laptop, but my question is, is there another way to assign another key to the letter a until i get the new keyboard? [18:11] is it that easy..... i want to load into chrome automatically on logon / not see the desktop [18:11] rawrmonster, copy a and use ctrl v [18:11] OerHeks: I actually want it as a key so i can actually copy and past other things tho [18:11] Darkknight-dude, That is not ubuntu, but chrome. [18:12] but i am using the ubuntu systems to load it??? [18:12] Darkknight-dude, Chrome the browser or OS? [18:13] Hello, trying to install libtoold on my server and getting a 404 for many sites on apt-get. === xubuntu is now known as Guest36557 [18:13] any alt sources I can add for this [18:14] darkknight-dude: you can always edit ~/.xinitrc and stop lightdm as a service and startx with chrome only using the x11 server [18:14] alright.. what happened to the alternate unity that wasn't 3d-composited? === Guest36557 is now known as fra_dolcino2 [18:15] Chaos_Zero, What ubuntu release? [18:15] I'm on Ubuntu 13.10. Why can't I type a forward slash in the Nautilus terminal? When I try, it just prompts me to change the current path at the top of the screen. [18:16] 12.04\ [18:16] !find libtoold [18:16] File libtoold found in rpm [18:16] anyone? === The is now known as Guest89006 [18:17] what is the cause of "unable to connect to X server: connection reset by peer" ? [18:17] Chaos_Zero, Not in the ubuntu repos is appears [18:17] it* [18:18] anyone?????????????? [18:18] Armag3dd0n1: anyone what? [18:19] Chaos_Zero, you might want libtool, libtoold sounds like the deamon > http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libtool [18:19] yes, that was a typo =P [18:20] I just manually added this source a source from the ubuntu website, all good it seems. [18:23] looked like a funky name but showed in rpm, ;) [18:23] can someone tell me where multimedia keys map to mixer? after 12.04 dist-update, lost graphic on screen volume display and volume control / mute === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [18:27] hello everyone, something interesting happened. I removed my usb drive just before the cleaning of the drive was completed, and now though the drive is not connected, it still appears on disk utility and nautilus (which gives a bad block message when clicked on "mount") [18:27] where's the screensaver settings in 13.10? [18:27] wondering if everything should be ok. what do you think? [18:28] minob, How where you cleaning the drive, and what is your definition of cleaning the drive? [18:28] minob: yea, i've had that happen, usually a logout/login fixes it === bomb is now known as Guest17317 === bomb_ is now known as rocketbomb === bomb_ is now known as rocketbomb [18:30] hello everyone [18:31] minob, Any usb should be unmounted before removing, don't just pull it out. [18:31] is anyone here willing to help me out with a "lazy cpu" problem on lubuntu? [18:31] Beldar, I mean when you remove any external drive, it sometimes takes a while, with a message appearing. [18:32] Beldar, I know, I was just a notch too hasty after selecting "remove drive". [18:32] gartral, I think it must be that- [18:32] Beldar, gartral, thank you for your hints, I was just wondering if all was ok. [18:33] how do i make a process run faster? nice and renice dont work. cpu usage is 3-6%, while programs run slowly [18:34] kzofm: perhaps it is bound by something else, like IO [18:34] !info preload | kzofm [18:34] kzofm: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (trusty), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB [18:34] daftykins could you expalain? it is a java process [18:34] kzofm: what's limiting this process disk io? network speed? gpu power? [18:34] kzofm, the program runs slowly? [18:35] kzofm: which Java are you using? [18:35] yes it runs slowly, memory usage is high while cpu usage is 6 percent [18:35] and what IS this program? [18:35] occasionally the cpu runs at 30%, then the program is fast [18:35] i would like to make it run at 50-60% but i dont know how? [18:35] define slow, fast [18:36] 1) what is the program? 2) which java? [18:36] kzofm, you can't force a process use extra cpu cycles [18:36] runescape unix client is the program- using openjdk6. by slow i mean game runs choppy, and freezes [18:37] kzofm: ok try oracle java. could be an issue there [18:37] but when the cpu occasionally runs faster the game runs well [18:37] but it rarely works fast [18:37] I just ordered a VPS with ubuntu 14.04, and i'm trying to add a repository, but it's saying add-apt-repository: command not found. Did this change? [18:37] nikitis: no, you just have a *really* basic install === 18VAARW9F is now known as phoenixz [18:37] anyone know how to get around 'low graphics mode' where booting stops after battery check? [18:38] 12.04 [18:38] ktosiek: Do you know the package name to install that command? I have apt-get [18:38] nikitis, Paste the whole command you are using. [18:38] kzofm: well.. "nice" won't make a program run faster unless there are other programs fighting for cpu cycles.. I'm guessing this program is slow for other reasons.. network transfer, java overhead.. things like that [18:38] nikitis: software-properties-common [18:38] Beldar: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine [18:38] right, it wouldn't be much of Ubuntu without apt-get :-) === e is now known as Guest82521 [18:38] slart do you know how i can make it run faster then? i mean i have power if my cpu usage is a minumum [18:39] nikitis wine is in the repos, why do you use a ppa? [18:39] ktosiek, sudo add-apt-repositor ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [18:39] MonkeyDust: I need latest wine [18:39] Beldar: ? [18:39] nikitis what's new in that? [18:39] I do wine testing [18:39] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sorry ktosiek [18:40] kzofm: I would try another java client.. perhaps oracles.. you could also see if you're running out of memory.. there might be java specific optimisations as well [18:40] Thanks, Adding software-properties-common package fixed it [18:40] I have a question I am new to linux and am running the latest version of ubuntu [18:40] sillyrabbit: just ask [18:40] slart how do i optimise java? memory usage is high, but my understanding is that increasing cpu usage will help the memory as well [18:41] what are the causes for "connection reset by peer" in x server? [18:41] kzofm: you can't force a program to use more cpu cycles.. it's probably waiting for something else when cpu usage goes down.. hard to give general advice that will work for this [18:42] my computers are all on the same network but the main computer is wired the rest are wireless how do I share files or view the wireless computers. [18:42] sillyrabbit: Samba [18:42] sillyrabbit: there shouldn't really be a difference between the wired and the wireless .. perhaps a little lower speed for the wireless but that's it [18:43] slart, understood. I have tried using oracle java, but im having problems. i do not know where to put the symoblic link [18:43] Can some one tell me how to move the snappshot files to other hard drives? [18:44] Can I "ufw enable" without confirming? Something like -y with apt-get? [18:44] I will look up samba thank you Armadillos [18:47] kzofm: I can't really help you with that.. but runescape has been around for a while.. the community has to have some kind of support/forum where people can help you with specifics [18:47] slart thank you. I have had no luck with the community, but I will give it a go again and see if it works out this time === megan is now known as dark-jedi2 [18:50] In 14.04 how can I make the files viewer show the path not that annoying bubble folder thing [18:50] hi guys i have a unstable network and i wanted to set a bouncer for irc .. can i do it? [18:51] can i remove all the fancy looks but no install any other enviriment? [18:51] utsav, why not get a cheap VPS and setup the bouncer there [18:51] is there a difference between installing lamp and installing M,A, and P separately? [18:52] friesk: No. [18:52] anyone? [18:52] jordan_U: thank goodness, and tks for the shout!!! [18:52] Armag3dd0n1, what do you mean fancy looks? [18:52] like to imrove battery life [18:52] Armag3dd0n1: "fancy looks" ? environment? you mean like KDE/Gnome shell, LXDE ? [18:52] yeah [18:52] but i dislike them but like orif [18:52] roig [18:53] orig [18:53] :p [18:53] Armag3dd0n1: so you want regular ubuntu but lighter? [18:53] Armag3dd0n1, Idk, I'm not a huge fan of Unity. I always run Gnome and probably always will. [18:53] yeah for battery life [18:53] "Lighter" - just install arch and set it up yourself then [18:53] gnome? what's that? [18:54] Armag3dd0n1: well.. not really sure how much you can do.. you can try running powertop to see what is using power [18:54] Slart, the built in power management for laptops in ubuntu is pretty damn good [18:54] how can i install the drivers for ATI mobility radeon 1150 in 12.04? [18:55] Armag3dd0n1, Gnome is a desktop env [18:55] im trying to install gknome light but it's stuck [18:55] The big players are Gnome (2.x and 3.x theres a war right there), Unity and KDE [18:55] styles_: I guess that depends on the laptop.. last time I used ubuntu I could double my battery time by shutting things down, adjusting stuff etc.. nothing in the regular power management [18:56] Slart, I have a new lenovo laptop (model number slips my mind). They gave me 2 hours max by default and with Ubuntu I got like 3 so I was happy [18:56] 2 hours 39 and 57% [18:56] Octavian95, did you try the ones on ATIs site? [18:56] styles_: ctl+L to display the path in Nautilus. [18:57] Jordan_U, I love you. Is there a way to set this default? [18:57] I didn't see anything in options, which I feel it should be hiding there [18:57] they have drivers for linux on their website? last time i checked i only saw windows drivers [18:57] Question: if I'm on a new Ubuntu 14.04 VPS, and I want to vnc into it, I will need a window manager. What's the appropriate way to install one for this version? [18:57] gonna check now again just to make sure [18:57] hello every one [18:57] okay im gonna bbl but im gonna reinstall ubuntu, anything i should know about? [18:58] like tips etc [18:58] if i use auto-login with lightdm my openbox fonts are super tiny (not readable) - when i use a manual login they are not [18:58] any idea why that might be? [18:58] nikitis, I wouldn't recommend you VNC into a VPS. If you do want to make sure you have at least a gig of ram [18:58] Question I just connect to my server using putty, I see a message that say's you have mail [18:59] where is the mail [18:59] styles_: i have 2gb. and I need to [18:59] Octavian95, nope they have Linux and are updating them pretty often [18:59] styles_: "gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true" Found via http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/enable-nautilus-location-entry-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ and I just tested it on 14.04 as well. [18:59] nikitis, alright 1 minute theres a tutorial [18:59] Jordan_U, thank you [18:59] styles_: You're welcome. [18:59] For future reference, what did you search to find the solution? "Location Entry"? [19:00] styles_: "nautilus always show path" [19:00] Thank you [19:00] hi. I have upgraded 13.10 into 14.04. how do I get trusty tahr wallpaper ? I stil only got saucy salamander one [19:01] nikitis, https://my.vps6.net/knowledgebase/59/How-to-Install-VNC-wor-Ubuntu-Desktop-on-VPS.html [19:01] styles_: Thank you [19:01] I think you'll need to install lightdm instead of gdm (let me double check) [19:02] ok i am downloading a driver now but i need help on installing it as it's the first time i'm installing a video driver in linux [19:02] Octavian95, I'm using the open source drivers and I play Dota with them lol [19:03] Howdy all [19:03] I have a VPN setup, the client and server can ping each other, but the client cannot ping anything else on the servers LAN. I have turned on IP forwarding, but I suspect my routing is screwed up. Would anybody mind giving me a hand? [19:04] Octavian95: Do *not* install drivers from any website, use Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" tool, which will download, install, and automatically keep up to date appropriately pacakged drivers. [19:04] ok how do i do that? :D [19:05] Jordan_U, I've actually had better luck using the beta releases from AMD [19:05] If that's not the case anymore, that's really good to know [19:05] Octavian95: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47506/how-do-i-install-extra-drivers [19:06] Jordan_U: The drivers for NVidia GPUs on the "additional drivers" are behind. There's a PPA out there for the updated ones. [19:07] ok i opened additional drivers what now cause there is no ati/amd driver listed there [19:07] just a broadcom sta driver which is inactive [19:09] Octavian95: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [19:11] /join #ubuntu-server [19:11] /join #ubuntu-server [19:11] /join #ubuntu-server [19:11] oh what the heck [19:11] =) [19:11] what the heck man [19:11] join ti [19:12] /join #ubuntu-server [19:12] oh come on [19:12] styles_: What client are you using?

[19:15] Octavian95: run a lspic -nnk | grep VGA -A1 and see if it identifies a AMD/ATI video card. [19:15] Octavian95: What video card do you have exactly? run that command and tell us what it is [19:15] Octavian95: It may be that there aren't proprietary drivers that are both compatible with your card and Ubuntu 12.04. [19:16] Octavian95: My first recommendation, if possible, would be to do a clean install of 14.04 and copy back across a backup of your home directory [19:18] hey [19:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7412109 [19:19] here is the output of lspci [19:19] Octavian95: Is this a laptop? [19:19] yes [19:19] dell inspiron 1501 [19:20] I know with the Nvidia card in laptops, the AMD video card isn't running by default. Might be the same with AMD. [19:21] well? [19:22] Octavian95: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 [19:22] hola [19:23] Hi. I'm having problems with compiling a simple source file on ubuntu with cc. I'm getting an "undefined reference" on libusb functions but I have added -lusb and -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to the command but I keep getting it. [19:23] Octavian95: It really seems that isn't supported at all... You could possibly use an older kernel version from a previous Ubuntu release but it would be really messy and might break a lot of stuff [19:24] Hey all.. [19:24] I've also seen that the functions that aren't found are in a libusb.a file in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directory [19:25] Octavian95: What problem are you having with the open source drivers? [19:25] i think they are not present at all? [19:25] Octavian95: What problem are you actually having? Please tell us symptoms. [19:25] I'm running Kubuntu Trusty over kdm, installed, instead the default Lightdm. My question is: KDM still on repositories but is it much under Lightdm to be used? [19:25] Octavian95: Why do you think that? What happens when you boot your PC? [19:26] in ubuntu settings in system details the graphic card is "unknown" and the experience is "standard" it also is lagging as it is in windows before i install the drivers === The is now known as Guest31712 [19:29] Kubuntu is telling me that it found errors on / during the boot logo [19:29] but all the available keyboard options are not visible because the German translation of this error message is too long [19:30] I have "I" to ignore it, "S" to skip it and "M" for something manual [19:30] that "experience" should say something better than standard with a properly installed driver, right? [19:30] what is the hotkey for the first option? [19:31] LordDeath: I have the same issue. All starts are the same thing. [19:31] LordDeath: Is your / ext4 or ext2? [19:31] the first options is only partially visible: "rbehebung zu versuchen,.." [19:31] sound like "Fehlerbehebung" [19:31] ext4 [19:33] pressing "f" seemed to work [19:33] nice [19:33] does anyone know of a calendaring server that i could install on linux, i am looking to build a calendaring solution on top of something that supports ical === xangua_ is now known as xangua [19:35] snuffalupagus: davical [19:36] llutz have you used it before [19:36] is this new qt version of LXDE already "stable" enough?

Now DNS does not resolve. I can ping a public IP just fine but not the DNS name and "nm-tool" is showing the correct DNS servers. Any ideas on what I can try next to resolve this? [19:44] no other drivers / solutions available? [19:45] Hello! [19:45] How do I make grub2 as my default bootloader instead of Windows? [19:45] i can't belive that no one managed to get the video card work properly on dell inspiron 1501 with ubuntu 12.04 :( [19:46] To make it clear, what do i have to do to boot into a menu by default that will show all of my native operating systems? I.e. Windows and Ubuntu. [19:46] Octavian95: Is that new? [19:47] Is that your PC? [19:47] Which specific card are you talking about? [19:47] yes it's my pc [19:47] Octavian95: Ah ok.

[19:52] the controller i guess. [19:53] OerHeks: It's software RAID. I forget its name dmraid? [19:54] :( [19:54] OerHeks: Which one here should I configure? [19:55] Is there an opensource version of Dell's OpenManage tools which retrieve hardware stats and data from the sensors in the server.

[20:19] Jordan_U: I think it's doing grub-install, it's the package-manager doing it [20:19] I'm not 100% sure how this drive is mapped, my predecesor did it ages ago.. I would expect it to be LVM but as I said, lvdisplay is empty [20:20] Almindor: Looks more like FakeRAID to me. [20:20] is anyone willing to help me please? [20:20] I need to understand something, cause it is killing me, I am in pain.... [20:21] Radon_3: just ask your question [20:21] Jordan_U: this is lsblk output: http://pastebin.com/J6AKJt7m [20:21] Octavian95, you don't need to install any extra drivers. The free driver is perfectly fine and functional. You can see the feature matrix here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/. Your gpu is r300. Optionally you should upgrade to 14.04 because they will probably be better. Unity is probably too heavy weight for you machine since it's using x200m. Consider switching to lxde/xfce or something else lighter. [20:22] Almindor: What is the output of "grub-install --version"? [20:22] Almindor: How did you try to upgrade to 14.04? === code_zombie_ is now known as code_zombie [20:24] Jordan_U: do-release-upgrade -d === multi is now known as multivak [20:25] Ok, a few hours ago everything was just fine, I was enjoying my ubntu time, and installing IDLE that suddendly my computer froze and then a message appeared telling me that ubuntu had a problem, and then the installation failed also, now I restarted the system hoping that things will return to normal, but when I restarted the system and tried to in [20:26] stall GIMP, it kept downling the packages as if from nowhere (cause my router leds were not blinking and I had never installed gimp on this machine before) and this scared me, now my question is, if in the middle of a very important installation or update system was restarted for any reason, is there any way to recover? how can I determine if every [20:26] thing is alright? all the packages and the kernel? how can I check for broken pieces or packages of softwares? these questions are driving me crazy people please help me [20:26] I've just done this, anything else I should do? http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html [20:27] installing gnome atm [20:27] Radon_3: sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install [20:27] jordan_U any help? === megan is now known as dark-jedi3 [20:28] Almindor: Still waiting for the output of "grub-install --version". [20:29] how do i make a program startup.sh do a ch before executing a command? [20:29] ok I am sorry I just got disconnected [20:29] Well, who suggested sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install ? [20:29] z1haze: What does "do a ch" mean? [20:29] Radon_3_: I did. [20:30] cd* my bad [20:30] Jordan_U: well it actually didn't do anything, does that mean that everything is fine? [20:30] z1haze: "cd foo/bar/ && command" [20:30] Radon_3_, That sort of instance rarely causes damage to the OS in linux. [20:31] hhttp://pastie.org/9151093 heres the script i have, but it requires to be in the current directory or else it will dtry to install it in a new one [20:31] anyone here can help me? [20:31] where would i put it on that Jordan_U [20:31] Meepers, Not without you telling the channel the issue. [20:31] just wanted to see if anyone was here lol. [20:31] before the screen -dmS "$SESSION"? [20:31] i installed ubuntu 14.04 [20:32] i started it from grub before and the fan worked in full blast for some reason [20:32] it happen a couple times. [20:32] idk why. [20:32] Meepers, Try to keep your posts all in one post. [20:32] ok sorry im a bit unerved. [20:32] running gnome now :) [20:32] Jordan_U: that didn't give me any errors, does it mean I am fine? [20:33] z1haze: Wherever it needs to go. You are the one that (hopefully) knows why the current working directory needs to be changed, and thus when it needs to be changed. [20:33] Jordan_U: grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9 [20:33] Hi :) [20:33] Jordan_U: doing a purge on grub, reinstall and choosing that mapped drive, same fail. I think something went bonkers here [20:33] yea i know i didnt didnt know if it was rght where i put it, but i was [20:33] thanks for the help [20:34] Almindor: Don't say "same fail" unless you get exactly the same error message, word for word. What is the exact error message you get, and what command did you run to get it? [20:34] Jordan_U: here is the output for the command you told me to run : http://tny.cz/f55dd3aa [20:34] Jordan_U: exact same message, apt-get install grub2 (after apt-get purge grub2 grub-pc) [20:34] so anyideas on why when i start ubuntu from grub the fans would just turn on in full blast ? im running 14.04 [20:35] Jordan_U: I get to chose the drive in the setup, after that it fails with the same mapper error [20:35] Meepers, Can you give a more exacting description of the issue with the fan, IE does it change speed, what is the whole picture. [20:35] Almindor: Please pastebin the complete output of "sudo apt-get install grub2". [20:35] Almindor: what's the issue? [20:35] !lm-sensors | Meepers === Timmy__ is now known as Guest57673 [20:35] Meepers: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [20:36] Meepers: Do you have a gfx card dediicated in your system? [20:36] i installed ubuntu 14.04 when i start my computer the grub menu shows . windows boot manager ubuntu etc. when i click on ubuntu. ubuntu would start up but sometimes with fans blowing fast it does change speed [20:36] i have psensor [20:36] and my cpu temp stays at 40 c or more [20:37] Jordan_U: you didn't tell me anything man.... please don't leave me like this [20:38] Meepers: Nvidia Optimus cards give this error, check bumblebee if you have Nvidia Optimus dedicated gfx card [20:38] Radon_3: The fact that the command I gave didn't produce any output means that you don't have any unconfigured pacakges or broken dependancies. [20:38] oh jeez i have geforce gtf 860. [20:38] Meepers, just a thought but might be nothing...when I use radeon drivers I get a very fast fan...when using a proprietary driver it goes back to slow [20:38] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/9LMqwUV0 [20:38] <_CodeGlitch_> Hi chaps - anyone able to Hibernate their laptops that use Nvidia Optimus? [20:38] Jordan_U: so does this mean I am like 101% safe?

[20:39] Also I am terribly sorry for being such a pain in the ass [20:39] Almindor: have you tried installing grub-pc? [20:39] it's part of it === ubuntu is now known as Guest17033 === Guest17033 is now known as grant__ [20:39] see log [20:39] _CodeGlitch_: yep , i can hibernate my lenovo g580 with optimus but i turned off dedicated gfx card in BIOS [20:40] Almindor: you mean already installed? [20:40] see log [20:40] Meepers: okay, let me see, I have the installation instructions on my bookmarks somewhere [20:40] Radon_3: It means nothing more than I said. Things can be broken without packages being unconfigured or dependencies being broken. [20:40] i installd nvdia gtx driver 331 before. [20:40] <_CodeGlitch_> Ah ok thanks xeonid [20:40] but it just left me with a startx being broken. [20:40] i had some help before in it. [20:41] so idk where is a real driver of nvida witch won't be a pain .. [20:41] Meepers: startx is not supposed to work as before 11.04 [20:41] oh. [20:41] Jordan_U: how can I check for that? I mean things being broken without packages being broken? Can I fix these kind of errors? [20:41] <_CodeGlitch_> xeonid - I previous version of Mint (I forgot which version) support hibernate + optimus but it seemed to get broken in later versions of Mint and Ubuntu [20:41] hi all [20:41] everytime i try to install the nvidia drivers i get a black screen. :I [20:42] Meepers: So which card in particular do you have? [20:42] I’m trying to format an external USB drive as ext4. I’m wondering whether I should make a primary partition or extended on it (using fdisk). [20:42] aberrant: Doesnt matter actually. [20:42] im kinda useing intel 4600 intergrated graphics i want to use nvidia geforce gtx 860 but i keep ending up with black screens and errors [20:42] bekks: really? [20:42] aberrant: really. [20:42] and i tired of reinstalling ubuntu cause of it [20:42] unless you plan to have more than 4 partitions then primary will be fine [20:43] Meepers: check in #bumblebee channel in here itself [20:43] Meepers: So you have Optimus. [20:43] for 14.04 [20:43] nah, it’s a 2GB disk, I’m mounting it as a webdav store [20:43] idk where to check that i have nvidia geforce gtx 860 [20:43] ok, so after fdisk, I do a mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1, right? [20:43] Meepers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics [20:43] whats opitmus? === puff` is now known as puff [20:44] Meepers: The graphics chipset you have. :) [20:44] As of now, I have got this link : http://askubuntu.com/questions/452556/how-to-set-up-nvidia-optimus-bumblebee-in-14-04 [20:44] um yeah i have nvidia geforce gtx 860 i keep saying derp me Lol but if therse more then idk. [20:44] /dev/sda1 190M 1.6M 175M 1% /mnt [20:44] that’s a problem [20:44] it’s a 2 gig drive [20:44] aberrant: I would personally either make a logical partition (within an extended partition using the whole drive), or B: Use GPT. Both will allow you more flexability to create partitions how you want them in the future. [20:44] :( [20:44] i type fast sorry Lol [20:44] why is it not using the entire space? [20:44] <_CodeGlitch_> Meepers you need to use the Bumblebee - [20:44] <_CodeGlitch_> Not the NVidia drivers [20:44] Meepers: I'd try the link given by me first, then the link about bumblebee. [20:45] Meepers: no problems man [20:45] ok [20:45] im gonna look at the link [20:45] and now I get (from fdisk -l /dev/sda1): Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table [20:45] aberrant: sda1 is a partition, not an entire drive. [20:45] aberrant: the drive is sda. [20:46] aberrant: That's because /dev/sda1 isn't supposed to contain a partition table, it itself is a partition. [20:46] bekks: but I made a primary partition using the entire disk [20:46] aberrant: then you still need to use fdisk -l /dev/sda [20:46] should I create partitions using fdisk /dev/sda or fdisk /dev/sda1? [20:46] sorry for the silly questions. [20:46] bekks: I did not know about that link, sorry - I have been using bumblebee for running my CUDA and Matlab for quite some time [20:46] aberrant: sda. [20:46] aberrant: sda - sda1 is a partition already. [20:47] why can't I see my battery monitor in ubuntu gnome? [20:47] I got it :) [20:47] thank you. [20:47] how come startx won't work and even wasn't able to work when i tried getting the nvidia drivers? [20:47] anyone? [20:47] Meepers: because X is supposed to be started using a desktop manager, like lightdm. [20:47] Optimus poses a lot of problems, checkout the link provided for [20:48] bekks: do I then mkfs on the partition (sda1) or the entire disk (sda)? I think the former. [20:48] hmm. [20:48] <_CodeGlitch_> Amrag3dd0n, have you added the battery indicator applet ? [20:48] nope idk how to [20:48] aberrant: thats correct. [20:48] how do i get bumblebee gui? [20:48] if there is. [20:48] Jordan_U: I promise that this will be my last question, is there some headwords or topics that I should look for on the Internet (Google) that would explain about my situation and how to take care of that? [20:48] Meepers: Read the link given please. [20:48] <_CodeGlitch_> Right click on the bar near the clock -> add applet or something like that [20:48] OH i am [20:48] sorry xDDD [20:49] lol i asked and not see that. i was installing my bad [20:49] il be back xD later [20:49] ahhhh - much better!!! /dev/sda1 1.8T 68M 1.7T 1% /webdav [20:50] every time i restart or shutdown ubuntu, next time it boots it forgets my brightness settings and sets it to maximum how to fix this?

[21:42] is there a workaround for that kind of problems? [21:42] Molean: check for some ups related stuff maybe? [21:42] sohron and a option to revert to previous state will be there somewhere?

[21:48] install ubuntu 12.04 linuxcnc3-i386, seems to have no network drivers, the screen does not look good, I did this, [21:48] sudo ipconfig-a [21:48] sudo ipcongif pan0 up [21:48] also this other pppoeconf sudo command does not work either. any solution? [21:49] PurpleHaze: How do I tell? [21:49] Sohron: I love how a fast computer gets even faster on Linux. I feel like I am behind one of those 90's hackers computers. [21:49] zmi: linuxcnc is not supported in this channel [21:49] PurpleHaze: I don't reach a screen asking which user to log in, if that is what you mean, but I have that set to autolog in anyway [21:50] anyone having issues with php5-cli after upgrading to 14.04 LTS? [21:50] !anyone | jayar [21:50] flipflopsnrice: hehe yep, i've installed one ubuntu 12.04 for my mothers macbook, it also runs smoother with it than with os x [21:50] why are a bunch of triggers missing from ubottu now === varunendra is now known as Guest50332 [21:50] ben64 the problem es ubuntu i just say what i did [21:51] Ben64: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2014-March/001686.html [21:51] *but*, bsd's do a good job of using resources, except openbsd on multicore maybe [21:51] Ben64: some factoids got reviewed [21:51] Sohron: yeah, I remember last using Windows years back (like 7 years) and always being frustrated. Linux keeps amazing me, and I still buy up-to-spec hardware which makes it even more awesome [21:51] molean ok so youve passed post and the bits mentioning pxe boot? [21:51] Ben64: Which log file should I look in under var/log? [21:51] zmi: you said "ubuntu 12.04 linuxcnc3-i386", linuxcnc is based on ubuntu, but is not ubuntu. unfortunately it is not supported in this channel [21:52] PurpleHaze: I pass post, its definitely the OS having trouble, and Im using the PC in question right now from a usb flash drive [21:52] okay... this is my error: ucfr: Attempt from package php5-cli to take /etc/php5/cli/php.ini away from package php5-fpm [21:52] Molean: anything in /var/log that has recent additions could help [21:52] flipflopsnrice: yep, i haven't used windows at home for at least ten years, but i got stuck with os x for some time [21:52] ben64 now i understand, ok , thanks [21:53] PurpleHaze: As far as pxe boot, I dont know, the log in text goes by too fast except for the last part, before it stops to check for battery state, and I dont remember the other text there [21:53] molean what part of the boot sequence is failing though? We need that to troubleshoot? [21:53] it ran fine *if* i had 16GB of ram on my mbp [21:53] Sohron: understandable. It's almost as good. But it just doesnt customize as well, does it :) [21:53] PurpleHaze: Tell me how to determine that and I will tell you [21:53] Sohron: plus: vendor locking... [21:53] trying to use rsync to sync two directories, my command works fine when destination is empty. If destination has content, it works fine if content matches, but for files that don't match, rsync throws an error. [21:53] flipflopsnrice: nope it doesn't, but it has some nice apps [21:53] available [21:54] and vendor locking is like a butt***k [21:54] molean whats you Linux knowledge/experience sorry I work in an enterprise Linux enviroment [21:54] Praxi: What command are you running? Wat is the exact error meessage? [21:54] ben64 var/log as many files in it, which file should I look in? [21:55] Molean: anything that has been changed recently [21:55] PurpleHaze: Minimal, I can navigate around a bit, I've been using it for a bit now but never got into its guts much [21:55] flipflopsnrice: i got bored of apple now, that my mbp don't let me even install a new battery, just ram and hdd [21:55] molean cli? [21:55] sudo rsync -rltDvh --progress /data/bacula /media/offsite/ and the first error message is rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32) If I go delete the offending file on the destination, it works fine Jordan_U [21:55] Ben64 and how do I determine that? [21:55] PurpleHaze: No, only one video card [21:56] Molean: "ls -hort" or other ways [21:56] Ben64: That doesn't explain anything to me [21:56] there are about 4 more error messages after that Jordan_U, worth a pastie? [21:56] Sohron: that is rather harsh. Freedom in hardware and software is really in Linux. Nowadays most hardware just works, havent had any big problems in years, and havent had small problems in .. well, years [21:57] molean ok you know post so youve passed that , you should get a grub prompt if you dont at this point hit esc, then let me know what you can/cant do? [21:57] Hello, if anyone has the time and know how I've got a HP Compaq TC4200 running Ubuntu 14.04 and the headphone jack isn't working, I've tried several solutions and nothing seems to be working. Any help would be appreciated. [21:57] Molean: ls is a command, it lists files in a directory, the additional switches i suggested gives more details and orders them with the newest files at the bottom [21:57] Molean: this discussion is going so fast i can't keep up, but try to boot to recovery mode with a root shell and disable possible nut services [21:57] Praxi: Yes. [21:57] PurpleHaze: I can pull up what I think is a grub menu for emergency boot etc, before I hit this problem, so I think it is after grub [21:57] flipflopsnrice: agreed, except i still like my openbsd server ;) [21:58] too [21:58] Sohron: Haha, well that's just the same kind of cookie, but with a different flavor isn't it.. [21:58] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/A1gw6nGq [21:58] molean ok after grub are you getting a graphical boot? [21:58] flipflopsnrice: yep :) [21:58] hmm I should compare time stamps [21:59] molean splash screen? [22:00] where I can enable and disable loading of images in firefox ? [22:00] hmm I think thats the problem, my files on my destination are newer Jordan_U . Mainly because it took so long to copy them over FTP lol [22:01] Praxi: Why are you copying device and special files? [22:01] not sure what you mean Jordan_U ? [22:02] I'm just dumping some bacula backups to a disk [22:02] /dev /proc etc [22:02] Praxi: Why did you include -D, which tells rsync to copy device and special files? [22:02] dw1 your backing those up lol? [22:02] anyone ? [22:02] PurpleHaze: no was defining device and special files not to backup [22:03] hmm [22:03] waressearcher2: can you do that [22:03] waressearcher2: you might get more results in the firefox channel [22:03] dw1 cool was gonna say never gonna end :) [22:03] no particular reason, grabbed it off of a guide for exfat. thought I looked up all the options, apparently not [22:03] dw1 apart from an error [22:03] kind of a silly option i guess [22:03] Praxi: If there are no such files then it shouldn't make any difference, so it's probably not the cause of the problem. Just seemed odd to me. [22:04] i guess it means device and special -in- the defined folders [22:04] prob harmless [22:04] ya no, thanks for pointing it out Jordan_U . Dislike when I copy something else and don't recognize all the command line options [22:04] Praxi: You're welcome. [22:05] hmm if I do a size and no timestamps, that should do what I want [22:05] @all, by the way, backing up something like named pipes (fifos) may be sometimes understandably [22:06] Praxi: could use md5sum or shasum [22:07] pretty sure what happened after talking about it, previously I FTP'd the backups off. FTP would take days, near a week for the full set. I switched to an internal hard drive connected by a dock. The hard drive I'm writing to now, has newer time stamps than the originals because of that FTP. [22:07] Praxi never copy and paste . You will never learn from it, never run anything you dont know, theres been exploits in the past through java consoles and java script that have injected the memory of a copied and pasted link that has added GET requests. Never copy and paste! [22:07] viper474: back again... [22:08] guest98765: it didn't work this time? [22:08] viper474: ???????????? [22:08] guest98765: oh, I thought something dun broke. [22:08] viper474: network is up.. [22:09] lol I didn't copy and paste PurpleHaze, and I normally look up all options to make sure I understand what was going on. Just missed one. Still excellent advice though, ty! [22:09] Praxi: Is the destination filesystem close to full? [22:09] praxi np [22:09] tar czfp = make an archive maintainng permissions/owners === james_ is now known as Guest67923 [22:10] derp [22:10] scp -rp [22:10] duplicated the FTP and the rsync, thanks Jordan [22:10] Jordan_U* [22:10] praxi and good practice :) [22:10] viper474: installed Midnight commander and it works. installed calibre and it says it needs an x server. is that lightdm, gdm type of stuff? [22:10] Praxi: So was the destination full? [22:10] you are not helpful people [22:10] waressearcher2: firefox is not a ubuntu prob [22:11] whats your prob? [22:11] guest98765: hmm, I would think it was xorg [22:11] guest98765: X server is nowadays on ubuntu the X.org X server, not a display manager [22:12] Sohron: he's running off a minimal install on a Pentium 2. [22:12] yes, the destination was full, duplicated the backups to it [22:12] sohron its never been a real display manger X11? [22:12] guest98765: usually you install a window manager with that [22:12] Sohron: he's got 512MB RAM [22:12] Sohron: installed nothing... [22:12] PurpleHaze, I've taken to that habit ever since doing learnpythonthehardway.org My retention rate was through the roof there :) [22:12] viper474: it *can* run X [22:13] sohron its the layer up or 2 from hex [22:13] thanks Jordan_U! [22:13] Its almost Friday right? [22:13] Sohron: yeah, I'm thinking maybe guest98765 didn't install Xorg right maybe... [22:13] yes, almost friday [22:13] Sohron: installing everything by CL [22:13] Praxi: You're welcome. [22:13] guest98765: cli? [22:14] Sohron: he also tried to get xfce4 working but it error'd out when trying to run it [22:14] im the angry one [22:14] !! [22:14] sohron x11 isnt a window manager its the graphical back end of Linux [22:14] the annoyed one [22:14] !! [22:14] FlashOnBoot: please keep this channel clear for support [22:14] please suck my dick [22:14] PurpleHaze: i didn't say X is a window manager, i said dwm is a window manager [22:15] sohron ok my bad [22:15] viper474: Sohron command line. I show installing xorg using the up arrow. [22:15] PurpleHaze: i just stated installing X is not "dwm stuff" :) [22:16] guest98765: you can find much more lightweight window managers than xfce4 [22:16] sohron caught it mid convo and saw it as my "window manger x11 isnt working" [22:16] Anyone else lose connection to freenode? [22:17] heheh ok PurpleHaze [22:17] Molean: not me [22:17] PurpleHaze: I get the beginning of a graphical boot, the purple background color shows in the back for a bit [22:17] Sohron: yeah, probably thought so. PurpleHaze: guest98765 said something about trying to run Calibre and it said it needed an x server [22:17] Sohron: Root shell is text only? How do I disable whatever "nut services" are? [22:18] Molean: it'd really help if you could pastebin the logs from the most recent boot [22:19] molean as soon as you see the purple splash appear hit esc to go back to the old skool boot, you will hopefully get a more detailed error then [22:19] Ben64: Sure, tell me how [22:19] viper474: Sohron dpkg -l xorg returns 1:7.7ubunt i386 x.org x windows system [22:19] hi I would like to buy a surface pro 2 and was wondering if it is supported. I have heard that the wifi is problematic. Do you know if linux would work? [22:19] PurpleHaze: Old skool boot means what exactly? [22:20] guest98765: have you tried startx ? [22:20] molean a verbose boot instead of a pretty screen that timesout and leaves you with a blank one [22:20] Molean: well i've already told you how to see which files have changed recently. all that remains is putting those into pastebin. load up pastebin.com or your favorite paste site and paste them all into there [22:21] ben64 How do I determine which files have changed recently, and you want ALL of them? [22:21] Molean: press esc and select "advanced ubuntu boot options" or something like that [22:21] Molean: as i've said already, "ls -hort" will show you the files that have changed recently on the bottom [22:21] why any Linux distros are staring to follow some of the windows failures is beyond me [22:22] indeed... [22:22] Ben64: And I said I don't know ls hort, I type this in a terminal? [22:22] viper474: last line says xinit: connection to X server lost [22:22] Molean: yes. [22:23] and why the heck doesn't ubuntu give at least a three second grub menu by default which could halt booting by pressing a key [22:23] Ben64: "drwxr-xr-x 2 xubuntu 4.0K May 7 21:14 Desktop" I have no idea what that means though [22:24] hello, how do you select another network connection in ubuntu 14.04/gnome 3.11? I've created a static IP connection, but it defaults to the default "Wired Connection". I'm stumped [22:24] Molean: you're supposed to be in the /var/log directory. you already told me there were files in there. how did you verify that? [22:24] sohron yeah that really pisses me off mostly these days. When I only had to work with RedHat/CentOS it was all good Ubuntu becoming popular and ppl deploying there servers with it wasnt! [22:25] guest98765: maybe try this checked answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143179/startx-doesnt-work [22:25] The network connection icon is gone from the top bar, so you cannot select a specific connection, only a wifi connection. [22:25] Ben64: I clicked on the folder var, I clicked on the folder log within the folder var, I see a bunch of files [22:25] viper474, guest98765: startx is almost never the correct way to start a graphical ui in ubuntu [22:25] Molean: clicked? i thought you couldn't boot? [22:26] Ben64: let's assume he doesn't have anything else installed. [22:26] viper474: the only thing I have installed is xorg... [22:26] Ben64: I booted from a usb flash drive [22:26] Ben64: no graphix [22:26] Alot in here may/will argue but to me Debian/Ubuntu is the perfect desktop Linux, RedHat/CentOS is the server daddy. As a Linux community we need to support those distros in those capacitys , keep Linux growing not because of brands what it is GOOD! and SOLID [22:26] What's wrong with this command sudo dpkg --get-selections >> /home/anthony/Desktop/InstalledPackages.txt | nl [22:27] PurpleHaze: how is that related to ubuntu support at all? [22:27] Ben64: A bunch of files, and folders, many many of them [22:27] ben64 because its about the Lin ux community [22:27] PurpleHaze: ok, but this is a support channel, not a discussion channel [22:28] PurpleHaze: yep, i decided on ubuntu quite quickly as my workstation os, i didn't even consider others [22:28] Ben64: 102 items altogether, not counting files within the subfolders, so when you say list var/log, you got me stumped === varunendra is now known as Guest69915 [22:28] ben64 and the Linux community supports support, no? [22:28] Molean: ok, you need to mount your installed partition and browse to the /var/log that is there [22:28] Ben64: Yes, 102 items I said! [22:29] molean sorry If I took you through to many steps but I like to fix things not recover [22:29] !ot | PurpleHaze: good, then you can stop to argue n a support channel please¿ [22:29] PurpleHaze: good, then you can stop to argue n a support channel please¿: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:29] well, i had some experience about ubuntu (12.04 LTS) from installing it to my mothers macbook and administering it before [22:29] I used the command above to create a numbered list of all installed packages on my system and I piped that into a file but the list wasn't numbered [22:29] pure; [22:29] ; [22:29] ;j [22:29] Molean: ok, then pastebin the recent ones [22:29] PurpleHaze: Sure, but I think they are one in the same, if I can boot, it will have been fixed [22:30] Ben64: and how do I determine that??? [22:30] damned, gotta stop babbling and go to #ubuntu-offtopic too :D [22:30] Molean: you have a graphical interface. you should be able to choose how you wish to view a folder [22:30] hi, I am newer to here [22:30] I'm trying to learn command line for the linux+ certification [22:31] I'm new here as well [22:31] markyun, hi [22:31] hi [22:31] I have 2 ati radeon video cards with 2 dvi ports in each for a total of 4 monitors. Just did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, but my 3rd monitors doesn't turn on and i got "Could not switch the monitor configuration/Could not set the configuration for CRTC 64" pop up error. Funny thing after reboot same error but not monitor 3 is on but 4th is off [22:31] !safado pastebin [22:31] anudas [22:31] Ben64: I can sort by modification date, but I don't know if recent is top or bottom, or which of those you want to see [22:31] thank you for your kindness to reply me [22:31] hi !safado pastebin [22:32] Molean: you should also be able to see the exact date and time it was changed. pastebin everything that has changed since you couldn't boot [22:33] sorry for being off topic but I keep seeing ben64 as base64 , eye sight defo gos with age [22:33] can I talk to anudas ,only? [22:33] !safado | pastebin [22:33] safado: stop that [22:33] markyun, you can [22:34] I’m using ubuntu-vm-builder in trusty, to try to make a trusty vm and its crashing at :: “Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic_3.13.0-24.47_amd64.deb [22:34] markyun, but this is primarly for support [22:34] has anyone here taken the linux+ cert === avis is now known as Guest7939 [22:35] please how do I pastebin ?

[22:35] oh, I see [22:35] safado: by going to pastebin.com [22:35] thanks [22:35] anthony_ no but done LPIC [22:35] Ben64: I changed the listing so it shows date modified, but it doesnt show time, about 24 files are from today, you want me to put the contents of all 24 files in pastebin? [22:35] Ben64 thx [22:35] Molean: yes === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:36] Sorry I did need help though [22:36] anthony_ with what? [22:36] any help with my monitor problem? [22:37] Ben64: well some of them I can't view, including ironically one named "lastlog" But that is still alot, please narrow it down some [22:37] I need to know whats wrong with this code sudo dpkg --get-selections >> /home/anthony/Desktop/InstalledPacakages.txt |nl [22:38] Hi all, how do I got about looking at what drives are mounted at startup? [22:38] anthony_: you don't need sudo there [22:38] Dvorovoi, the /etc/fstab file can tell you [22:39] One of my hard drives doesnt mount until i click on it in nautilus. ok thanks vonsyd0w: [22:39] ok, it creates the list but it is not numbered, did I pipe nl in the wrong place? [22:39] anthony_: yes [22:40] anth0ny, are you trying to get a count of installed packages? [22:40] anthony_ your redirecting all the output of whatever dpkg --get-selections generates into /home/anthony/Desktop/InstalledPacakages.txt. I cant remeber what nl does but I think its count numer of lines. | or pipe passes the ouput of a command to the next command so ls | grep home would only display anything containing home [22:40] Ben64: Also, its very slow running off of a flash drive [22:40] i need a numbered list of packages [22:41] anthony_, well if you keep using >> you'll be appending to the list. unless you're deleting the file after each run [22:41] anthony_: also, with your command it just appends the text to the end of the file, so you'll end up with many copies there [22:41] PurpleHaze: What does verbose boot mean? text? [22:41] Am I piping the output wrong? [22:41] moleanyeah more messages [22:42] molean yes more output [22:42] anthony_: yes, if you want them numbered in the text file, you need to put the nl before the text file output [22:42] anthony_ how you getting the packages again? [22:42] so would it be sudo dpkg --get-selections > | nl | > /home/anthony/Desktop/InstalledPacakages.txt [22:43] anthony_: don't use sudo [22:43] PurpleHaze: Oh it means it shows boot messages, but still tries to boot to desktop? But it doesn't matter how much text it shows me if I can't make its or tails of it, or save it to show others [22:43] anthony_: and still no, thats wrong [22:43] how do I pip it correctly? [22:43] pipe* [22:43] anyone have teamspeak 3 client running on ubuntu? [22:44] dpkg --get-selections | nl > /path/to/file.txt [22:44] yea i just tested "dpkg --get-selections | nl > test" and I got a numbered list of packages [22:44] molean yeah you would still need to press esc to get out of the splash screen if you didnt remove the kernel instructions for splash [22:44] didn't know about nl, nice [22:44] thanks much that worked [22:45] PurpleHaze: My point is, more boot info is useless without my understanding it or being able to save it to show others. [22:45] I'm getting the following error: $ ./ts3client_linux_amd64 [22:45] ./ts3client_linux_amd64: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libquazip.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN9QSaveFile16staticMetaObjectE [22:45] now I know the right way to combine piping and redirection [22:45] PurpleHaze: I think I might know whats going wrong though, I found this in xorg log [22:45] PurpleHaze: drwxr-xr-x 2 xubuntu 4.0K May 7 21:14 Desktop [22:46] https://gist.github.com/jaredkipe/3e51447012f85e553733 problem using ubuntu-vm-builder to make a trusty 64 vm [22:46] anthony_ by numbered list do you mean by order or quantity? [22:46] molean no thats not your problem [22:46] PurpleHaze: Ooops Falling back to old probe method for fglrx... anyway I think its still expecting the previous video card, and using drivers for it that aren't getting along with the new card [22:46] order [22:46] NickServ SteveT99 Braight1656 [22:47] Time to change your password, SteveT99 [22:47] Oops....newbie mistake [22:47] https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#changepass [22:48] PurpleHaze: So how do I remove the old drivers so they don't interfere with the new card? [22:48] molean those permissions are fine but thwey only apply to the desktop directory not the window or desktop manager [22:49] molean Im to tired to go through hd recovery now sorry , but testdisk is a nice tool [22:49] PurpleHaze: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7413017/ [22:50] PurpleHaze: I didn't understand what you said about permissions [22:50] whats the name of the amd open source drivers? [22:50] catalyst I assume [22:51] I don't know, I went through alot of work installing it, the replacement card is also radeon, but a much older one [22:51] molean the probs with your gfx drivers, dont know what the fix is though [22:51] PurpleHaze: Maybe if I just remove the old drivers, it will use default drivers that will bypass the issue? [22:52] molean worth trying defo [22:52] PurpleHaze: But if that is the case, how do I remove the drivers if I cant boot into desktop? Changing things from text would require extensive spelling out for me, id be clueless === edong23_ is now known as edong23 [22:53] wouldn't you unload kernel modules to unload a driver? [22:53] complete guess [22:53] molean ok bear with me Im high end autistic. Where are you at the moment? [22:54] PurpleHaze: In a flashdrive live desktop. BTW, DEFO means this? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Defo [22:55] .? [22:55] still connected? [22:55] molean so your booting usn and? [22:56] usb* [22:56] PurpleHaze: Yes, I am running off a live USB. What did you mean by defo? [22:57] molean going into gfx though Im probably noy the best person to ask my experience with Linux is headless ssergvvers and never had any probs at desktop with gfx [22:58] needs a keyboard cleaner [22:58] PurpleHaze: What did you mean by defo? [22:59] molean defo in my slang means definatley (always spell this wrong) [22:59] PurpleHaze: You can defo use "Surely" instead. [23:00] I think I’ve figured it out [23:00] PurpleHaze: Ok but I lack other people to help me, and maybe you could manage to instruct me how to remove a driver outside of desktop? [23:00] qin_ Im autistic and grew up on a council estate once I left school my grammar and vocab dropped badly [23:01] Molean: you need to start in recovery mode from grub [23:01] qin_: that wouldn't be English. [23:01] can you boot the machine you are trying to remove the driver on? [23:01] PurpleHaze: I don't know what a council estate is. Are you saying you don't know what I asked? [23:02] molean where you from? [23:02] jaredkipe: Not to normal desktop, to flash drive, or recovery mode [23:02] Ben64: Yeah but that recovery mode is just text/terminal, I have no clue what to do from there [23:02] Molean: and which card do you have now [23:02] can you just use modprobe to remove the driver? [23:03] ben64 a replacement card that works, you want exact model? [23:03] molean Im also an alcoholic so I start useful with my help but fail because Ive gotten drunker [23:03] Molean: yeah [23:03] daftykins: Why? They are certainly synonyms. [23:03] jaredkipe: I don't know, can I? what is it and how do I use it? [23:03] hey all, on Ubuntu 13.10 here, how do Ichange the screensaver timout? [23:04] Can someone help me with VNC? I have the server running, but it's not using a window manager. I installed ubuntu-desktop and gdm. [23:04] ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r) [23:05] shows currently loaded modules [23:05] ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ [23:05] shows availailable modules [23:05] nikitis caqn you elaborate? [23:05] Ben64: radeon 7700 I think, previous card that stopped working completely was a radeon 6850 [23:05] modprobe -r {name} [23:05] removes module [23:05] PurpleHaze: Well I installed lightdm, tightvncserver. I can start tightvncserver and connect to it [23:06] PurpleHaze: Problem is, when I get to VNC, it states there is no window manager and I just get an 'X' mouse cursor and grey background. [23:06] Molean, qin, for all non-native speakers like me http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Defo (Urban DIctionary is sometimes a big help) [23:07] hello, somewhat of a big question so i put it all in a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VWq7Q7Hb [23:07] nikitis sounds what your using is using x11 forwarding, if its not installed on the server it wont work [23:07] PurpleHaze: if what is not installed? [23:07] sorry heres the ubuntu paste version [23:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7413105/ [23:08] jaredkipe: I put those commands in the text of recovery mode? What if which ones I want to remove is unclear? Module =driver? [23:08] so PurpleHaze and Jordan_U related to my earlier question about the hard drive, when I connect a drive into the dock, it isn't auto mounted, its not even detected unless I reboot. I did some googling, figured out if I refresh the scsi bus, it gets detected. Is there some setting I should be looking at to make that happen automatically? [23:08] deweydb: have a read of this, it will help you understand https://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [23:09] nikitis not x11 forwarding but nilitis sorry Im tired and was just trying to give pointers cant help no more [23:10] hello [23:10] has there been a lot of problems reported about webcams not workig in 14.04? [23:10] nikitis: possibly you may need to configure server, since it gives new, plain X: http://blogs.bu.edu/mhirsch/2013/10/vncserver-setup-on-ubuntu-12-04/ [23:10] hi [23:10] Molean: Did you install the drivers with the package manager or something from ATI's site? [23:11] praxidepends on your distro and your desktop, dbus usually passes on to udisks to auto mount [23:11] nikitis: there was bug report for tightvnc in 14.04 alpha too [23:11] daftykins: thanks. i've checked in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/* and that 74... ip isn't anywhere to be found. [23:12] Molean: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-propretary-ati-drivers [23:12] daftykins: in my /etc/network/interfaces i have: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 [23:12] nith1210: I might have, I went through several different methods, it was some time ago and I don't recall anymore [23:12] daftykins: but i don't have dns-search or dns-domain parameters. because google doesn't say what to use for those? [23:12] deweydb: what's in your /etc/network/interfaces ? [23:12] hey [23:12] Molean: The instructions Ben64 posted should work for you if you used the package manager to install. [23:12] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7413130/ [23:13] yeah i dont know [23:13] deweydb: if that truly is a VPS, you really ought to be on a static IP not DHCP [23:13] what is that link suppose to define? [23:13] deweydb: you're getting the other IP because you're receiving DNS servers via DHCP still [23:13] Molean: Actually, I was wrong, the first response is if you have them installed via the package manager, the next are ways for the installer from their site. [23:13] oh [23:14] ohhhh [23:14] Molean: Go with those instructions, they're your best bet. [23:14] so where do i set my static ip? [23:14] Ben64: use http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-propretary-ati-drivers at recovery text prompt? [23:14] Molean: Start your machine with "recovery prompt", then go to "networking" then go to "root terminal" [23:14] molean never install packages out of your ditros repo until you nknow what your doing! [23:15] nith1210: first and second response? I only see one. [23:15] Molean: the top answer should do it for you. [23:15] PurpleHaze: Well If I did it from the file from ati, it was with instructions, and its alreafy done [23:15] Ben64: By top answer, you mean "http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-propretary-ati-drivers"? [23:15] I'm using weechat-curses on koding.com [23:16] molean ok for trusted sources but I assumed that and didnt ask :) [23:16] Molean: Try the top answer, the one with the green check mark. [23:16] kingmofo: is it fish and chips ordering site? [23:17] nith1210: Either way the drivers were installed? [23:17] Molean: If you installed the drivers the "bad" way, the first one will not hurt you. [23:17] temporary files in firefox are into /my_folder/.firefox/ or in another folder??? [23:17] molean with the recent open-ssl sploit dont trust certificates just because they are green [23:17] Molean: If you installed them the "good" way, they'll fix your issue all together. [23:18] PurpleHaze: Not sure what you are talking about, but I think I can trust drivers directly from atis websites not to be viral. [23:19] molean yeah there trusted [23:19] qin_: I just followed those instructions and nothing works, [23:19] Juju: ~/.mozilla; ~/cache/mozilla/firefox; man lsof; [23:19] PurpleHaze: Anyway, I'm always getting told by linux experts that there is no such thing as linux malware [23:19] qin_» ¿¿¿man lsof??? [23:19] Molean: That's not true. [23:20] Juju: yes, read manual of lsof (list open files) [23:20] Molean: It's a lot better, but we are not immune. Just immune enough not to need AntiVirus'. [23:20] nith1210: Well that's what various people who brag to have intimate knowledge of linux say [23:20] qin_» ok, thank you so much. [23:21] nith1210: So if I used the nonsoftware center way to install the ati driver, what then? [23:21] Molean: Tell them to google root kits. Also, we spend a LOT of time making sure our software is trusted. [23:21] Question for all. Everytime I start Ubuntu 14.04, the display is off kilter (i.e. starts halfway down the screen and wraps vertically). Resetting the display fixes this. Is this a common problem? It started after I installed WINE and ran Battlezone (both now removed). [23:21] molean there malware on all platforms, if a programming language works on it the payload will. What its really about is Linux cant spread the viruses because of the infrastructure. [23:21] Molean: If you install something directly from a site, you're giving them root on your machine. Yes they can install malware. [23:22] nikitis: I wont be much help with vnc. [23:22] that also applies to any Unix/BSD [23:22] deweydb: i'm surprised your VPS didn't come with one - you may need to read up your provider's FAQ before you consider it [23:22] daftykins: thanks a lot man! i wouldn't have thought of that, got it all fixed!! [23:22] Molean: If you did it the nonsoftware center way, scroll down on that page past the first set of comments to the second comment which talks about fglrx-uninstall.sh [23:22] deweydb: :) nice, my pleasure [23:23] Molean: This is the easy way to think about it. Never use anything but the software center and you're VERY likely to never have an issue. [23:23] nith1210: I put these commands in the prompt in the text recovery mode? [23:23] Molean: Install something else though, and you're on your own. [23:24] Molean: Yes. Alternatively, boot up as far as you can and hit "CTRL+ALT+F1" [23:24] Molean: Are you talking to us on the machine you're trying to fix? [23:24] nith1210: yes, from a usb live drive [23:25] Molean: Gotcha. That page has what you need. Just don't forget to scroll past the first set of comments if the first fix doesn't work for you. [23:26] And I'm out. [23:26] Molean: Good luck! [23:26] nith1210: When you say "we" spend alot of time making sure our software is trusted, does that mean your part of the ubuntu development team or something? [23:27] Molean: "we" the linux community. While I'd love to work with them, I'm not yet amung them. [23:27] The second "them" being the ubuntu dev team. [23:27] hi, i'd like to run ffmpeg from the command line, but from what i can see online, it's been replaced by libav in ubuntu. how can i install/run libav manually? i can't figure out what packages to install and/or what commands to run. i tried install libav-tools, but there's no 'ffmpeg' or 'libav' command now [23:28] nith1210: you said "Start your machine with "recovery prompt", then go to "networking" then go to "root terminal" I am not entirely sure what you were saying there [23:28] Molean: write it down, you'll see. === xubuntu is now known as Guest51525 [23:29] Molean: If not, then boot normally, go make a coffee, then hit CTRL+ALT+F1 [23:29] And eek, "*among" [23:29] well it doesn't take long [23:29] Molean: I'll be back in an hour but I'm sure someone else will probably be able to help you. [23:29] Take care. [23:30] Ok Ill write all this down on some dreaded scrap paper with a pen that's not fully working, then come back if I am still stuck [23:30] libav-tools blyd === timrc is now known as timrc-afk [23:30] Molean: if you have a second computer or a phone or anything else that can irc, you can be here at the same time [23:30] ninth2010 going so 90s with the goo make a bgrew while yourpc boots [23:30] they boot before you even sit up ;) [23:31] Ben64: Nope, and I am pretty sure my cordless phone doesn't do IRC:p [23:31] Molean: you may need to do this before all of the other commands once you're at the console -- "mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /" [23:32] Ben64: Need it for what? [23:32] to be able to remove the amd drivers [23:33] molean minus the -- at the beginning. Another reqwason not to copy and paste ppl googling your quesyion [23:33] how do you start a lightdm session? [23:34] Ben64: So just put that first? or how will I know if I need it? [23:34] considering this channel mredirects so many "off topic" you need to redirect "cli" [23:34] Molean: yeah just do that first, it won't hurt anything [23:34] I have got a login problem had to make another user through command line to get on ubuntu . this is my post on forum please tell me what to do http://askubuntu.com/questions/462582/xauthority-error [23:35] Ben64: What does it do? [23:35] Molean: remounts the root partition read/write [23:36] sam_____: i haven't read your link, but A) change ownership of .Xauthority to yourusername:yourusename with sudo B) don't use GUI apps with sudo, use gksudo instead [23:36] hmm the ubuntu irc interpreter is weird to interpreted missredirect to mredirect is poor code [23:36] sam_____: first off, be much more careful with sudo. don't use it unnecessarily and don't use it for graphical programs. for graphical programs use gksudo. [23:37] Ben64: What might happen or not happen if I don't? [23:37] zykotick9: ok I won't use sudo for gui anymore [23:38] Molean: all the other command will fail if it is mounted read only [23:38] sam_____: good idea ;) [23:38] now how do I fix xauthority?? it s refuseing my permission [23:38] Oh. it changes it to write, ok gotcha, strange that wouldn't be the default [23:39] sam_____: you need to give your user ownership [23:39] sam_____: "sudo chown YOURUSER:YOURUSER .Xauthority" in your home directory [23:39] sam to many undersocre if you dont want to risk security for a gui use gksu for gnome (was on v2 not used gnome 3) and kdesudo for kde [23:39] sudo chown username: ~/.Xauthority [23:39] is this going to fix my old user or just giving my new user owner ship?? [23:40] daftykins: ahhh, it'd think the command you gave would try to change /root/.Xauthority which is NOT what they need [23:40] zykotick9: i was concerned of that after i wrote it, but i'm not 100% sure [23:41] it will fix your old user if YOURUSER = your old username and the directory was /home/YOURUSER/.Xauthority [23:41] zykotick9: in fact it does not, it does so in the current user still :) i just tested "sudo touch ~/pie" [23:42] ooo nice trick, i need to remember touch :) [23:42] daftykins: hummm, well, sorry - but it's still a bad suggestion IMO... [23:42] zykotick9: should I run it in my new home directory or the old one?? [23:42] zykotick9: i understand [23:42] the one you wish to fix [23:42] sam_____: old one! if you want to fix it. [23:43] Ben64: Do I use the quotation marks with the unmount remount command? [23:43] sam too mnay underscores you dont have perms to read or write what you asking to you probably could using sudo but wouldnt advise it [23:44] Ok looking for a good way to install chrome ubuntu 12.04lts [23:44] Molean: no [23:44] Molean: no === jlh is now known as Guest5038 [23:44] Ben64: How do I know if the first method worked, reboot and see if I can get to desktop? [23:45] Molean: reboot is one of the steps [23:46] ubuntu users as a long time Linux user and a distro hopper how do you feel about Ubuntu , no root but a all sudo? [23:46] ben64, do spaces matter in commands like this? [23:46] PurpleHaze: this is a support channel only, you're welcome to discuss things in offtopic but such questions do not belong here [23:46] PurpleHaze: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:47] zykotick9: my old user was sam so the command is sudo chown sam:sam .Xauthority [23:47] ok sorry daftykins [23:47] Molean: probably [23:47] sam_____: yes, in /home/sam [23:49] daftkins my comment was about ubuntus stance for a unlimited sudoers over su? [23:49] I think thats on topic? [23:49] PurpleHaze: Surely not. [23:49] PurpleHaze: ubuntu uses sudo, discussion/debate about that policy, belongs in OT, not here. [23:49] explain why not then? [23:50] you know how to use it? [23:50] PurpleHaze: it's _not_ a support issue... [23:50] it has no errors or bug? [23:50] ok undertand [23:50] zykotick9: help@sama:/home/sam$ sudo chown sam:sam .Xauthority [sudo] password for help: help is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [23:51] sam_____: HOw did you ceated user "help"? [23:51] why does ubuntu use sudo over su ? [23:51] sam_____: you're trying to use the new user i take it? that's not going to work, unless "help" is in the sudo group [23:52] qin_: sudo adduser help [23:52] ben64 but its all so long, i'm afraid of making a mistake writing it all down [23:52] My leave button doesn't seem to work in KDE. I have to use shutdown -r now to reboot. Any suggestions? [23:52] that is a legit support question [23:52] sam_____: as which user? [23:52] sam_____: you can use "ctrl-alt-F1" log in as sam, then use the sudo command [23:52] im back [23:52] !root | PurpleHaze [23:52] PurpleHaze: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:52] zykotick9: I did run it in sam aswell but it said . such directory doesn't exist [23:52] PurpleHaze: no, that's a policy question [23:53] sam_____: . <-? it's .Xauthority [23:53] why does ubuntu use sudo over su ? This is from a server admin who only sees sudo as a use for multi users if its one then su [23:54] PurpleHaze: what is unclear? your question, sudo vs su, is NOT ubuntu support related. ubuntu uses sudo, end of story... [23:54] PurpleHaze: why do you continue to ask the same question when you have been told policy questions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic ? [23:55] < ok will not speak anymore [23:55] PurpleHaze: they're totally different things and principles. [23:55] !documentation | PurpleHaze [23:55] PurpleHaze: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [23:55] zykotick9: don't know how to copy paste in alt+Ctrl+F3 otherwise would paste it from there [23:55] PurpleHaze: you may get an answer there ^ [23:55] man [23:55] ubottu:man man [23:55] daftykins docs wont explain why ubuntu is shit :) [23:55] sam_____: you can't type "sudo chown sam:sam .Xauthority"? [23:56] Anyone have any suggestions as to why the leave button in KDE wont work for me in ubuntu? [23:56] PurpleHaze: that's your opinion, please take it elsewhere as i have already asked you. [23:56] zykotick9: i did run it said no such directory [23:57] sam_____: try "pwd" does it say /home/sam ? [23:57] why what bad question have I asked you or what abuse did I give? [23:57] zykotick9: it doews [23:57] does [23:57] sam_____: does "ls .Xauthority" return anything? [23:58] PurpleHaze: sudo has advantages with multi-user setups as you mentioned, and su doesn't have advantages in single-user setups as sudo can do everything it can do, so there's not much reason for su. [23:58] PurpleHaze: in addition to the obvious, sudo has better auditing/logging and is more flexible [23:58] rww: this _is_ offtopic, as i'd disagree with your statement/view... [23:59] it returns Xauthority [23:59] zykotick9: it returns Xauthority [23:59] sam_____: try "ls -l .Xauthority" is it owned by your user, or root? [23:59] been reading about adding UUID to fstab to get a partition to auto mount where I want. That worked succesfully on a reboot, but how about when I just insert the drive while the computer is on? What should I be looking up for that
