[00:12] If I have a flash drive and one of the pins is snapped off from the head, should I resolder it back to recover it? [00:12] Or use a jumper cable? [00:14] viper3905gt: Would not hurt a thing to try restarting the machine. Networking should just work, unless you have changed something. [00:14] no, you should get a new flashdrive because they're dirt cheap [00:15] ok when it boots it sez wating for netwotking device then it gose to say wating for network device for 60 seconts then it boots with out it [00:15] how can i get it to boot WITH it [00:16] inti: Back up the the intitial scrren, slect the partition where ubunti is to be installed, select 'chenge' in the resulting pop up set '/' in the "use as" field.

[00:17] modem/router [00:17] ill try that now [00:17] ill be back if it dont work lol [00:18] viper3905gt: At that time I could not ping my router, ya might try pinging the router just to see. [00:21] nope [00:21] its not loading the NIC [00:21] viper3905gt: Do you know your routers IP ? [00:21] yep [00:22] hey guys, quick question about DEB files. If I have a program currently installed and I then install a newer version with a DEB file, will the DEB file just overwrite the current version, or is it better to uninstall the current version first and install the DEB file? [00:22] viper3905gt: what returns -> ping -c3 192.168.0.1 ( or what ever the router's IP is) ?? [00:24] network is unreachable [00:25] viper3905gt1: Not good, ok -> sudo lshw -C network <- this line "configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=8139too" is a driver loaded ? [00:26] thats LSHW? but in lowercase? [00:27] viper3905gt1: what does nm-tool say [00:27] viper3905gt1: Affirmative. lshw lowercase. [00:28] it sez network disabled [00:28] sorry my linux box is in the outher room [00:29] would what I am asking about break things? === hiuhewquheuwiwqe is now known as fujisano [00:30] * jamesd thinks it shouldn't matter where the linux box is, its all the same... the network is your friend.... [00:30] viper3905gt1: " network disabled" is that from the lshw output ? [00:30] it sez configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e1000e [00:30] sudormrf, As an related example, math problems have more than one way to complete, that question is not really answerable overall. [00:30] Beldar: which question? my first or my second? [00:30] in other words "it depends" [00:31] at the top it sez network disabled [00:31] sudormrf> hey guys, quick question about DEB files. If I have a program currently installed and I then install a newer version with a DEB file, will the DEB file just overwrite the current version, or is it better to uninstall the current version first and install the DEB file? [00:31] Beldar: it should update the current .deb [00:31] viper3905gt1: thank you [00:32] if it dont work then uninstall and reinstall the new deb [00:32] iv never had it not work [00:32] how can I kill the x server forom another terminal [00:32] viper3905gt1, Sure till it does not, the problem is I see you have missed is it is not always true. [00:32] viper3905gt1: sheessh, can you from the icon choose "enable Netwoeking " .. driver - e1000e - is loaded, should work ! [00:33] duzent give me that option [00:33] im thinking some how iv turned off managed networking === step21_ is now known as step21 [00:34] viper3905gt1: But -> ifconfig eth0 up <- brings the network up still ? [00:35] yes and no [00:36] helpmeplease: Try -> sudo service lightdm stop <-, if in the unity DE. [00:36] how do i change the keyboard shortucts permanently on ubuntu 14.04? [00:36] it turns the card on but theres still problums after that [00:36] ok i found where i turn on networking in the GUI [00:37] now it sez network manager not running please run === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [00:38] is there a way to just reset ALL network stuff to default? without reinstalling [00:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7418448/ [00:39] I made a custom launcher that launches a website in "app mode"; I gave it an icon, but in the dash it shows up with the chromium icon. What gives? [00:39] can some one help me? im trying to install ubuntu in virtualbox but i can't..

Maybe a bad cable here ? === qstrahl` is now known as qstrahl [00:39] Bashing-om: iPconfig? [00:40] he means ifconfig [00:40] viper3905gt1: NO ifconfig .. dangit .. this is not NEC ! sheessh. [00:44] i got ya lol [00:45] zykotick9: thanks, old habits hard to live down, agravates me to no end sometimes. [00:45] Bashing-om: ;) [00:45] i get a return rx tx of between 300ish and 400ish [00:46] viper3905gt1: I submit that the problem is not in the machine, locla loop back is up and functioning, can not get out of the machine, suspect the cable or a bent pin on the card. [00:47] local* [00:47] humm let me check [00:47] on the NIC port? [00:47] viper3905gt1: I have dogs in my house, and it has happened to me. [00:48] it sez when it boots that it cant load the network? [00:49] viper3905gt1: wont take long or much to swap out the cable with the machine you are on now, and a flashlight to look for bent pins on the NIC. [00:50] just checked and swaped the cable [00:50] rebooting for good mesure [00:51] and incase i forget later thankyou very much for the help [00:52] viper3905gt1: NP, I do what little I can to help. === step21 is now known as step21_ [00:52] if this dont work im guna swap the drive and install agen on the new drive to make sure if it is or isent hardware [00:53] I have some questions about my raid5 drive and setting it up in fstab, is this the correct place to ask? [00:53] viper3905gt1: I have not used teh Network Manager in ages, It still "Might" be a config problem // ??? [00:54] ok if all els fails how can i move a joomla website to a new install? [00:56] do i just need the www folder? and how do i back up my database and restore it? [00:57] viper3905gt1: DB is what? mysql? [00:57] viper3905gt1: Moving a server, tall order, clonzillia (??), current situation -> cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf <- do you see "managed=true" // ?? [00:59] MasterOfDisaster: yes mysql lite [00:59] Bashing-om: let me check [00:59] viper3905gt1: look up mysqldump [01:00] viper3905gt1: backing up the database, files and httpd config should suffice. [01:02] hi all. i'm curious if theres a way where I can watch for a process, then execute a process once if that process starts/exists/etc [01:03] Bashing-om: false [01:03] cdaringe: hm... incrond could work, if you point it to /proc [01:03] cdaringe: the hackish way is to replace the executable with a scipt that does what you want it to do, and then execute the orginal command [01:04] yea, i was thinking about symlinking the binary, but I want the app to be able to update without issue/etc and not have to update the script every time the binary change. Regularly changing app* [01:04] if i nano edit that to say true would things work better ??? lol [01:04] cdaringe: what process do you want to execute on launch? [01:05] viper3905gt1, would you rather set your manually, or let network manager do it? [01:05] cdaringe: if your goal is monitoring/auditing, have a look at auditd and a remote syslog. [01:05] networkmanager [01:05] as long as i can set the static ip in networkmanager [01:05] cdaringe: you could just add a special PATH so your script executes and calls the orignal file, original never changes, you just add your script first in the PATH=~/bin:$PATH === zSwayz is now known as Sway [01:06] viper3905gt1: oohh, make it so ! .. should be [ifupdown]-> managed=true, then try sudo service networking start. let's see what happens. === Sway is now known as Swayy [01:06] viper3905gt1, cant you add an interface in network manager now? === Swayy is now known as zSwayz [01:06] MasterOfDisaster: a bash or php script [01:07] compdoc: i can but it wont work or stay [01:07] cdaringe: what jamesd suggested is the easiest to do, but might break on an update. [01:07] I could do everything with gnome no teaching. so how do I look at a list of programs so I can pick the program I want, which by the way would do IRC. [01:08] 12.04 [01:08] jamesd: fyi, ~/bin is automatically in a users PATH, if it exists when they login [01:08] viper3905gt1, do what Bashing-om says [01:08] , but that shouldn't make a difference, should it? [01:09] compdoc: -> viper3905gt1 I am reaching here, all help is appreciated. [01:09] I also want it to be compatible with osx, so a more unixy approach is ideal. In osx, the user will be double clicking the app, therefore the $PATH solution may not be the winner. I know right, more conditionals keep flown in :) [01:09] Bashing-om, viper3905gt1, set managed to true. [01:10] zykotick9: okay, wasn't aware, i have custom .bashrc scripts on my systems... and have to make sure my stuff runs on all unix/linux systems so i don't code based on one feature of a certain distro [01:10] jamesd: well, i certainly doubt it's a feature in all gnu/linux distros... but certain debian based ones... just point it out is all ;) === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [01:11] viper3905gt1, can you run: sudo lspci | grep net does it find anything? what does it find? [01:12] compdoc: lspci does _not_ need sudo [01:12] dont care. I always use sudo out of habit [01:12] ok when i start networking it sez stop/waiting [01:12] viper3905gt1, ^ [01:12] compdoc: that's a bad habit, and certainly not one you should teach others [01:13] zykotick9, its not a bad habit when youre troubling shooting something like this. youre welcome to take over [01:14] When my upgrade hangs on "flashplugin-installer: downloading..." should I just kill the update process and start over? [01:14] sez "controler intell" dont look like anything importan [01:14] hi how do i change unity search icon? [01:14] i can't find any good info on google [01:15] cdaringe: yeah - if you move away from linux in terms of compatibility, a sh compatible wrapper script is your best option. [01:15] compdoc: lol i have the same bad habbet already [01:15] viper3905gt1, its a wired nic? [01:15] yes [01:16] cdaringe: other options might be more convenient, but only available on one or the other. [01:16] eleventeen, Can you detail "upgrade" within a release or to another. [01:16] Beldar: 12.10 to 13.10 [01:16] a little sleuthing and I remember texture and didn't work at all. I didn't even look for extending the system but decided to download it. It gives me a choice of Windows operating systems or for Dora. Wonderful Ubuntu! How do I do IRC? [01:17] Fedora [01:17] does ifconfig show an eth0, eth1, eth2, etc? [01:17] only if i sudo ifconfig eth0 up [01:18] when i boot it sez it cant start networking so it boots with out it [01:18] eleventeen, the words upgrade and update have multiple means within contexts. Can you give an exact description. [01:18] meanings* [01:19] eleventeen: sharing which command led to your problem might make it clear. [01:20] viper3905gt1: As you are running a static IP, what is in /etc/network/interfaces ?? -> iface ethX inet manual ?? [01:20] Beldar: standard upgrade from the latest 12.10 to 13.10, just pushing the "upgrade" button when promted by the updater. [01:20] MasterOfDisaster: idk what commands the gui updater uses, but them. [01:20] viper3905gt1: fyi "sudo ifconfig -a" will show you not configured interfaces as well... [01:20] eleventeen: ok. [01:21] i waz running a static ip then my modem went out n i replaced it then for some reson i had to redo it then it worked till i rebooted then it dident work [01:21] eleventeen, There is 13.04 between those two, and 12.10 is eol and may need a specific upgrade path. [01:21] It said something like "your 12.10 is up to date, but you can upgrade to 13.10" (paraphrase) [01:22] 13.04 was not an option [01:22] eleventeen, If you are in the download stage in this freeze not the install you can shut it down. I would check the sources list though after. [01:23] Bashing-om: zykotick9: it shows eth0 and eth1 and the loopback but it duzent show any iface or ip or anything for them ....eth1 is built in wifi that i dont use [01:24] eleventeen, I have not seen a upgrade from 12.10 to 13.10 skipping 13.04, myself, might be one, but from a eol that seems rather strange. [01:24] Beldar: This is the install phase. The flashplugin-installer doesn't contain the actual flashplugin, presumeably because it's proprietary junk, so the installer downloads it separately during the install phase. === felipealmeida is now known as felipealmeida_AW [01:25] eleventeen, You said "my upgrade hangs on "flashplugin-installer: downloading..." so this hang is what? [01:26] Beldar: that nothing happens now; I'd guess it ran into problems downloading the flashplugin tar. [01:26] I never upgrade so not sure if this is just your personal concern or an actual problem [01:27] And so, it was frozen solid [01:27] noooo [01:27] Beldar: I can't upgrade because crap is broken somewhere (probably Adobe's servers), so yes, it is a problem. [01:28] I'd appreciate some insight from someone who's actually familiar with the upgrade process, though. [01:28] eleventeen, Right and your question was if in the download, can you shutdown, yes you can, just not on the install. [01:29] Beldar: however, this is the "Installing the upgrades" phase. Is that not a problem? [01:29] if u want to upgrade just run sudo apt-get update then run sudo apt-get update [01:29] eleventeen, I have said yes twice that do not shut down on the install. [01:29] 2nd one should of ben sudo apt-get upgrade [01:29] Beldar: I realise that; I think we may be experiencing trouble with a language barrier. [01:30] and so, Useless Brothers, i added the ppa, updated it, installed Hexchat,then realized I had to update all since I only just installed the system, offline. Did this action do all the things that installing with the online connection does? [01:30] eleventeen, Hardly, read what you have posted and the wording. [01:30] hi everyone in my workspace settings menu i noticed that i am missing number of workspaces option now. all i have is horizontal and vertical workspaces. [01:30] I'm a US citizen, you? [01:30] im using ubuntu 14.04 lts [01:31] Beldar: I am as well. I guessed that you weren't, though. [01:31] viper3905gt1: We do not have an IP for some reason, maybe adressing in /etc/network/interfaces ? what returns from -> route -n <- . === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [01:32] does anyone have any suggestions on why i dont have this setting anymore? [01:32] Bashing-om: destanation gateway genmask ... but nuthing under them [01:34] I'd like to point out that the Internet Relay Chat page makes no listing of hexchat which is the clients it actually can do IRC. .. it does mention text chat is she doesn't have a loader for a version for UbuntuC [01:34] viper3905gt1: We ain't getting out of house ( machine), your machine has static IP, and the router is handing out DHCP ?? [01:34] tripelb, what version of ubuntu are you on [01:34] I am on ubuntu 14.04 [01:35] 12.04 and sorry i am doing THIS on a tiny phone. sorry typos [01:35] bazhang: 12.04 the latest LTS. [01:37] has anyone even heard of this being missing? === tripelb is now known as tripelbcopy [01:37] Bashing-om: router is ser for static ip @ 192.168.1.100 with ports 80 8080 21 22 forwarded and that haz worked for the past year [01:38] bazhang: changed ic [01:38] bazhang: changed nick so i can sign on from ubuntu laptop [01:40] tripelbcopy, the latest LTS is 14.04 === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:41] besides gparted is there another program to format hardrives totally? I have an old harddrive and would like to use it as an external hard drive to store info. [01:43] y not use gparted? [01:45] works fine for anything except for a drobo [01:46] Xheartt, There are handfuls of gui and cli options, what is wrong with gparted, it seems rather straight forward? [01:48] bazhang: I can't log in because I didn't specify SASL properly somewhere on hexchat. I am overwhelmed with difficulties ..this is why Ubuntu is not good for everybody. [01:49] Not sure if this is the right channel to ask [01:50] I have a wierd problem uploading my package to my ppa on launchpad [01:50] Building for precise 12.04, pbuilder-dist builds correctly locally, but launchpad build fails [01:50] bazhang: and I knew how to find it and download it. and not use the xchat that doesn't work on U. .. and I knew how to do the people that.... really I'm quite advanced and I'm having all these problems. [01:51] the build generates source files in the build directory but that isn't being processod on the launchpad build [01:51] bazhang: well I can't use it because I have no system to download it on and I don't have real internet here just phone internet so la de da I still need to do it now here with this [01:56] tripelbcopy, I'm using hexchat with sasl on 14.04 from the repos, it's dead easy [01:56] hi [01:57] hello [01:58] bazhang: now looking up how to configure hexchat. -- I am sure glad the old Android phone does hotspot. [01:58] why am i getting this message when i want to see a webpage >>Enter password to unlock your login keyring [02:00] why am i getting this message when i want to see a webpage >>Enter password to unlock your login keyring [02:01] its kinda like the auto login for chrome [02:01] You have a password/username stored for that website in your keyring [02:02] no i do not [02:02] maybe for another webpage but not for the one i opened [02:02] fuck it. just going to boot back into windows and use vagrant instead. [02:03] Is Launchpad still the right upstream for Compiz? [02:04] Xheartt: can you verify that you do not in fact have a keyring entry for that website (even if blank) [02:04] i will check , thanks [02:06] quotemstr, i'm guessing yes [02:07] Xheartt other solution is to change keyring password to blank, this will prevent the dialog from showing [02:08] i usually just close the window and keep on. thank you for responding crasic [02:09] What is the right channel to ask launchpad/packaging questions? [02:10] crasic, #launchpad for launchpad, #ubuntu-packaging for packaging questions [02:10] Hello, I'd like some help with the audio in ubuntu [02:10] crasic, high patience is required in both those channels, though [02:10] crasic, take your pick https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [02:11] teward: thanks, I assumed so [02:11] crasic, or what teward said [02:11] :P === mike is now known as Guest38676 [02:11] crasic, you're welcome, but when in doubt, the channel list that kostkon linked you, or #ubuntu-irc, might be your best resource [02:11] crasic, usually the channel list will be your best resource :) [02:11] * teward drifts back into the shadows [02:12] why do ubuntu have nginx 1.4.6? [02:12] and not anything higher [02:13] darius93: there are many packages to package [02:13] plus, that might be a more stable build [02:14] arkore: Please watch your language. If you're still interested in trying to get Ubuntu working properly, please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install" and "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop". [02:17] what button is used to show the menu in applications? [02:17] TheFakeazneD525, but 1.4 is extremely old even when it is considered "stable" [02:18] odd [02:19] darius93: there might be a PPA for that [02:20] it is a ppa but i was just wondering since 14.04 is a LTS it should contain something more up-to-date by now [02:23] darius93, PPAs are updated by their respective teams [02:23] darius93, if they haven't put anything recent in it, then that's an issue you take up with them [02:23] !ppa [02:23] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [02:23] Would it be possible to set my wallpaper to a network stream? [02:23] I think you can use VLC for that aarobc [02:23] tearms, i wasnt using a ppa at first. I was using the one from ubuntu repo itself. The PPA is using 1.6.0 for nginx (stable release?) [02:23] o: [02:24] darius93, nginx ppa is the one i maintain [02:24] darius93, 1.6.x is the stable release, if you want the 1.7.x series use mainline [02:25] Trusty has 1.4.whatever because freeze hit before 1.6.x was available [02:26] (especially since 1.6.x/1.7.x were very recent nginx releases) [02:27] ah forgot that it was released after 14.04 came out [02:28] darius93, yep. if 1.6.x had been released prior to the 14.04 freezes, it might've made it in [02:28] darius93, that's why the PPAs exist, for Ubuntu, because we can't always get those versions in that we want, because of the release cycle dates [02:28] well time to use the ppa then lol [02:29] darius93, i usually update them when a new release comes out, give or take a couple days, or a week at most, depending on my work schedule. === ken is now known as Guest38410 [02:34] ?

[03:10] ok fantastic [03:10] first [03:11] if i hired you as a sysadmin contractor for my current project, what is your day rate? [03:11] it depends on your project and my duties. [03:11] ok [03:11] second question [03:12] sudo do-release-upgrade -p [03:12] Checking for a new Ubuntu release [03:12] No new release found [03:12] i did this qhilst trying to upgrade [03:12] and thats not cool [03:12] do u know the answer? [03:12] cos like im not 14.04 [03:12] idimmu, what release are you going from/to [03:12] and that should totally be 14.04 [03:12] mmm [03:13] ok hold on [03:13] is it cat /etc/redhat-version that tells me the answer? [03:13] idimmu, cat /etc/issue [03:13] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [03:13] it's at the end of each line. there's another place too, but I don't remember [03:13] ah thanks im all over that [03:14] cat: /etc/sources.list: No such file or directory [03:14] calm:~ rus$ [03:14] is that ok? [03:14] btw my name is rus [03:14] and the server is called calm [03:14] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [03:15] is that an ok servername? [03:15] idimmu, if you like. That's the benefit of having your own server. [03:15] before i worked with ibm this is like similar but different [03:15] idle would be more precise [03:15] Will i continue to get all security updates and patches if i downgrade to 12.04? [03:16] meccooll, yes, but I don't think you should try to downgrade. reinstall. [03:17] meccooll: why do u want to downgrade? [03:17] thats the better question? [03:20] !downgrade | meccooll [03:20] meccooll: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [03:20] Seven_Six_Two: [03:20] cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory [03:20] calm:~ rus$ [03:20] i did his [03:20] whats up?????? [03:20] meccooll: personally, i'd replace "may break" with "will break" [03:20] idimmu, cat /etc/issue [03:20] ok so reinstall it is [03:20] idimmu, can you paste the output of uname -a [03:21] idimmu, can't get my monitors to work with radeon driver so thinking of downgrading so i can use legacy ati binaries [03:22] meccooll, do you have a separate /home partition? [03:23] omg meccooll i had that a while ago [03:23] hey pakair [03:23] calm:~ rus$ cat /etc/issue [03:23] cat: /etc/issue: No such file or directory [03:23] het Seven_Six_Two [03:24] calm:~ rus$ uname -a [03:24] Darwin calm.config 13.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Wed Apr 2 23:52:02 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.92.1~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 [03:24] calm:~ rus$ [03:24] idimmu, ok, so you're not using ubuntu, you're on a mac I think [03:24] idimmu, what did you end up doing? I for the life of me can't get a 4th monitor to not glitch on radeon drivers [03:25] idimmu, you're not running ubuntu ... [03:25] yeah Seven_Six_Two i prefer macs they're better but why cant i downgrade my rpm? [03:25] pakair: actually, they aren't even running linux [03:26] idimmu, I don't know. tbh you're asking in the wrong place. I don't know how to downgrade an rpm in osx [03:26] meccooll: i got a mac, it solved all my hardware problems other than running redhat on debian, thats still kinda strange [03:27] Seven_Six_Two, no but i have everything backed up so there's nothing that i need [03:28] im not sure Seven_Six_Two knows what hes talking about, meccooll if u have backups ur ok [03:28] do u use dropbox? [03:28] lol. I think I am confused right now. [03:28] ive backed up all my ms word files with dropbox [03:28] its good [03:29] idimmu, i have another PC that i back my stuff to [03:29] I lost it after finding he is on a Mac ... this is the Ubuntu channel. [03:29] this one time linux torvalds accepted my kernel patch as a bug fix [03:29] silly question, can I have a line like `*/10 * * * * bash /home/user/scripts/start_*` in my crontab to start all scripts that start with start_? [03:29] idimmu, you asked about sudo do-release-upgrade but that's not something that you do on mac [03:29] but #ubuntu based off my debian package that they stole as it was lgpl banned me from swearing [03:29] the internet is a strange place [03:30] idimmu, what is your issue? [03:30] Seven_Six_Two: my viagra isnt selling well :( [03:30] Hi, Is there any way to chat with skype people without using skype program in ubuntu? [03:30] by using sth else? [03:30] mojtaba: no [03:30] mojtaba: yes [03:31] virtualbox and windows [03:31] will work every time === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:31] mojtaba, it wasn't possible before, and Microsoft sure as something isn't going to allow it now! [03:31] idimmu: any other? [03:31] sure vmwar and windows [03:31] :~ [03:31] no its ok i use it [03:31] damn microsoft [03:32] aperson, set one script to contain ALL other scripts and run that. Take a look at /etc/rc0.d/ [03:32] mojtaba: If by "skype" you mean video call, Google Hangouts also works well in Ubuntu. [03:33] pakair↳ i was thinking that's what I'd have to do, I was just trying to avoid writing another script [03:33] nith1210: If, however, you literally mean video call using skype, then sorry, not that I know of. [03:33] nith1210: there is video conference holding in skype, so how can I join it? [03:34] mojtaba: Sorry, I don't know, I don't use skype. [03:34] aperson, crontab does not like wildcards ... you can list all your scripts and throw them in an editor and set them correctly. [03:34] nith1210: ok but this one time i addef social commentrary where i wasnt redundant === mb is now known as Guest90798 [03:45] !help [03:45] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:46] mojtaba, in linux? I don't think the linux client for skype has the conference call features. just one on one. [03:46] Seven_Six_Two: yes [03:47] Is there anything like skype for linux? [03:47] mojtaba, google hangouts [03:47] plenty of things [03:47] mojtaba: nothing that is allowed to connect to skype network [03:48] not on that level [03:50] mojtaba: why dont you just use skype :/ [03:52] dw1: how? [03:52] mojtaba: sudo apt-get install skype [03:53] dw1: Is it safe in terms of security? [03:53] mojtaba: who knows [03:53] mojtaba: everything has bugs... [03:53] mojtaba: what kind of security [03:53] dw1: It is a microsoft thing. [03:54] mojtaba: it runs as a user, no root permission [03:55] mojtaba, but everything will go through microsoft-controlled servers, and can be watched. [03:56] yes by bill gates in his evil lair :) [03:56] <_[myth> Bill Goat [03:57] but taht would exist with anyc lient [03:58] Hello Every body [03:58] !hi [03:58] i am new in this chat room i want to learn basic Ubontu [03:58] plz help me dear all friend [03:58] <_[myth> Go install Ubuntu at http://ubuntu.com/ === zSwayz is now known as Sway|away [03:59] ok [03:59] or you can run a liveusb to try it out [03:59] i install the ubuntu [03:59] i have already install ubuntu [03:59] Saeedullah, that was super fast. [04:00] Saeedullah, what do you want to know? [04:00] seven_siz_two how can possible to learn it [04:00] Saeedullah: nobody here can just help you "learn basicUbontu" :D [04:00] Saeedullah: i recommend a google for: ubuntu basics [04:00] dear i want to know how to configure DHCP in ubuntu [04:01] usually its automatic [04:01] wth 1, anywaywireless [04:01] Saeedullah: http://www.linuxine.com/node/270275 this is still somewhat useful [04:01] with wireless, anyway [04:02] just click your network and enter password .. voila [04:02] finland [04:02] !manual | Saeedullah [04:02] Saeedullah: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:04] how to enable root user in ubuntu? [04:04] !root | Saeedullah [04:04] Saeedullah: 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 [04:05] kostkon: thanks, didn't know about that :) [04:05] ;) [04:05] might just be for me too [04:06] i'm not new to *nix, but quite new to ubuntu [04:07] #hdbits [04:07] what is sudo? [04:07] Saeedullah, man sudo [04:07] !sudo [04:07] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:08] sudo is like jumping in a phonebooth and ripping off your clark kent costume [04:09] haha [04:09] you need it to save the world [04:10] what is sudo? [04:10] everything runs as a restricted user unless you run as root user or with sudo [04:10] so you need sudo to upgrade the system etc [04:11] Fundamentaly? sudo gives you root like power without root [04:11] its for terminal commands [04:11] otherwise in graphic mode you might just get asked for password and it will secretly do sudo [04:12] google it .. much faster to learn [04:12] !cli [04:12] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [04:13] !zsh [04:13] sudo is a concatenation of 'su' - substitute user and 'do' - take action. [04:14] til [04:15] In rescue mode, I am unable to get internet when I chroot to /target. Is there a way around this? [04:15] pakair: i always thought that is form adjective "pseudo"... [04:16] qin_, +1 [04:17] \o/ [04:17] how to enable root account in ubuntu? [04:17] cridenour: after chrooting (assuming you properly mounted /dev /proc and /sys), do a dhclient -v [04:17] cridenour: alternatively, forcfully set your resolv.conf, you have internet, just no dns. [04:17] how to configure DHCP in ubntu? [04:18] Saeedullah: You shall not, and we must not tell you. Google do not try to hide it. [04:18] nith1210: ah might have to do the second as I'm fixing a broken system that can't load mount ha [04:18] nith1210: good to know. [04:18] cridenour: Can't load "ha" ? [04:19] Saeedullah: What do you want to configure, DHCP lease is issued by your router. Do you mean DHCP server? [04:19] Saeedullah: you shouldnt need to enable a root account, and you dont need it for DHCP.. what is your goal? [04:19] nith1210: just laughing at my own misfortune. never broke mount before. [04:19] how can i command line to see which version of mate im running> [04:19] > [04:19] ? [04:20] justin_: lsb_release -a [04:20] ta! [04:20] no [04:20] justin_: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/see-what-version-of-a-package-is-installed-on-ubuntu/ [04:20] cridenour: sorry, the option with resolv.conf is only true if by "rescue" you mean a livecd. [04:20] holstein my goal is want to learn it [04:20] cridenour: eitherway, dhclient should fix it if I remember correctly [04:21] Saeedullah: learn what? DHCP? as a server? [04:21] nith1210: It is a livecd. [04:21] cridenour: which explains the /target; you're trying to fix a broken mount? [04:21] nith1210: yea. I get mount (and umount) command not found [04:22] Saeedullah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server ,though, you are likely just trying to setup a static IP? [04:22] lsb_release -a seems only to show the OS, not the desktop environment version [04:22] cridenour: ls -l /bin/mount [04:22] cridenour: My guess, your $PATH is wrong. [04:22] nith1210: No such file or directory [04:22] holstein tanx friend [04:23] Hello, I'd like to write an application to recognize three finger touch pad gesture on Ubuntu. Could anyone point me to the right direction? [04:23] nith1210: I did get dns working though! so apt-get install --reinstall mount should be an option now. [04:23] justin_: sorry, mate. I really did not seen question properly, apt-cache policy mate; I guess [04:23] !dev | kongda_ [04:23] kongda_: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [04:23] cridenour: is this a desktop machine or server? [04:24] Cool! Thanks. [04:24] nith1210: server, [04:24] kongda_: also join #ubuntu-devel the guys might point you in right direction [04:25] lotuspsychje, #ubuntu-app-devel [04:25] justin_, try gnome-system-monitor -s [04:25] kostkon: is that for specific app writing? [04:26] lotuspsychje, for general app development yes [04:26] kostkon: tnx for the hint [04:26] cridenour: there is a command to install all of the ubuntu server packages, I just don't remember it. [04:27] !lamp [04:27] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [04:27] nith1210: good point. if mount is missing, who knows what else is.. ha [04:29] what is ubuntu? [04:29] for all users who like to install ubuntu from usb on older machines that cant first boot usb try this: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html [04:29] cridenour: is ubuntu-minimal installed?

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [04:29] yes [04:30] cridenour: found it. "tasksel" [04:30] open source operating system means? [04:30] cridenour: sudo tasksel install server [04:31] Saeedullah: google is your best friend, keep this channel for ubuntu support mate [04:31] nith1210: it ran but i think aptitude still believes mount to be installed so it didn't change [04:32] dear plz explain me coz i am new one in this chat rooom [04:32] !foss | Saeedullah [04:32] Saeedullah: FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. See !freedom for more info. [04:33] Saeedullah: we have an offtopic channel to discuss the coolest topics at #ubuntu-offtopic [04:33] lotuspsychje: if you think google is your "friend" i'd really hate to meet your enemies... [04:33] cridenour: so /bin/mount is missing? [04:33] Saeedullah: It is not a "chat room" only channel [04:33] Hey #ubuntu. [04:33] cridenour: that is, it's still missing? [04:33] ubottu plz give one example in open source operating system [04:33] Saeedullah: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:33] sorry dear [04:33] When I type the command env, it gives me a lot of information, which to the noob is not understandable. [04:34] yes this is channel [04:34] nith1210: yup [04:34] nith1210: still missing. [04:34] zykotick9: we could discuss ' a matter of speaking' in ot too :p [04:34] Can anyone send me a link that explains this information. [04:34] cridenour: are you sure your chroot is mounted correctly? [04:34] plz give one example in open source operating system [04:34] cridenour, I think mount is /sbin/mount [04:35] xWolfz: "env" with no other arguments, prints "=" pairs which your default shell has loaded in it's environment [04:35] xWolfz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [04:35] nith1210: paths is /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin [04:35] Thanks qin_ and nith1210 [04:36] cridenour: right, but can you explain how you set up "/target" before chrooting into it? [04:36] dear my question is not solved open source operating system mean? [04:36] nith1210: 90% sure. Well the broken boot was for a missing mount and that's reflected here. [04:36] pakair: I seem to have mount.ntfs-3g, mountall and umount.aufs - but not mount or umount [04:36] nith1210: I allowed the livecd to set it up. It's a LVM [04:37] cridenour: I see, I supposed I've only ever done it manually with a livecd. [04:38] Saeedullah: What means that you are offerd access to source code is system you are using which often is connected with right of redistribution. You would want to do some independent research online too. [04:38] Saeedullah: did you read the FOSS link that qin provided you? [04:38] cridenour, my error, try locate mount | grep bin [04:39] qin brother explain me [04:39] Saeedullah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software [04:40] how to learn basic ubuntu?

[04:47] abhra: did you add this ppa? https://launchpad.net/~adamzammit/+archive/pspp [04:48] Saeedullah: start there after you install the software as holstein suggests. There are actually about 3 different ways to install software in ubuntu. [04:48] Saeedullah: you can also ask how to install something in particular, like, a web browser you prefer, or, *anything* else you want to ask.. but, you'll need to ask [04:48] pakair: it did. going to try and reboot the system [04:49] cridenour, good [04:49] pakair: that seemed to do it. i'm a little worried that it disappeared to begin with, but at least i'm in. [04:49] thank you both pakair and nith1210 [04:49] lotuspsychje, i know about it; but i am talking about the older version available in the repository. i am a little bit hesitant about using external, untrusted ppa. thanks for the advice though [04:49] cridenour, np [04:49] dioioib tnx brother === xWolfz is now known as Ranieri [04:50] cridenour: I'm still trying to think how you got to where you are... [04:50] holstein tnx from too [04:50] abhra: not sure where else to point you mate [04:51] nith1210: was attempting to get nsenter (for use with docker) and had to update util-linux [04:51] lotuspsychje, additionally, there is git repository available for it. i could compile the software from there as well.compiling the latest software is not the problem; the older version present in the repository is the problem [04:51] lotuspsychje, no problem; thanks for the effort.really appreciate it [04:52] nith1210: built from source - but I can't imagine their makefile would touch mount. [04:52] holstein how to configuer ip address and subnetmask and default getway? [04:52] Saeedullah: you just have to ask what you are trying to do === Ranieri is now known as Ranieri__ [04:53] cridenour: When you say you built it from source, do you mean that you also did a sudo make install or something equiv? [04:53] hi when i try 2 delete a image from home folder it tell's me "Can't Be Put In Trash Delete Immediately?" help plz [04:53] Saeedullah: you shouldnt have to.. you should connect to the gateway, and the DHCP server there gives you an address.. if thats not the case, you need to specifiy what restrictions, or configurations you are specificially encountering [04:53] nith1210: yea. [04:54] someone knows where to point abhra to rapport outdated software on ubuntu rep? [04:54] cridenour: Ahh, ok. mount is included in that packge by the look of it. I recommend "apt-get source util-linux", upgrade the source in that package to the latest, then build it. [04:54] cridenour: takes longer, but far cleaning [04:54] holstein brothere i have static ip adderee in every system [04:54] AK47isMyADDRESS so the option should be to delete immediately [04:54] cridenour: *cleaner [04:54] i want to open google in ubuntu?

[04:55] Saeedullah you're on the internet now via IRC, so clearly you know how to fire up the browser. your claim that you don't know how to google is suspicious [04:55] cfhowlett: it has never done this b4, i wanna sent it 2 trash only [04:55] Saeedullah: sure.. so, on *any* other system, look and see what the configuration is, and set ubuntu that way [04:56] AK47isMyADDRESS, have you got enough space in your hoem and how big is the file [04:56] AK47isMyADDRESS might not be possible due to the file size [04:56] 2mb file [04:56] on 500gb hd [04:56] * Ranieri__ yawns [04:56] AK47isMyADDRESS: did you try just deleting? is that not an option? [04:57] AK47isMyADDRESS, http://askubuntu.com/questions/288513/cant-move-files-to-the-trash [04:57] when i do delete it pops up says can't move 2 trash delete only for good [04:57] ok ty [04:58] i am planning on running two 1440p monitors wit a gt 630 will that work in ubuntu? [04:59] kingbeowolf: nothing about ubuntu will prevent that.. but, you may want to check on that specific hardware supporting linux [04:59] its nvidia [04:59] i thought nvidia worked well? [04:59] kingbeowolf, often it does, yes. [05:00] sure. but, where i am with hardware these days is.. if it doesnt specifically promise linux support, then i know to expect to be my own tech suport for the device [05:00] kingbeowolf, search for 'gt630 ubuntu' [05:02] pakair it is a hard question to search for i think [05:02] i am planning on running two 1440p monitors wit a gt 630 will that work in ubuntu? pakair === UNIX is now known as Guest74722 [05:04] kingbeowolf: sure, its challenging.. since, its really up to nvidia to promise the support and answer the question.. you'll have to just try the driver and see, or find someone with that specific hardware by searching online. but, i "believe it when i see it" running on my hardware === edong23_ is now known as edong23 [05:04] kingbeowolf, I did that search, looked at the links, subset for your ubuntu version. Did not see any flags [05:04] holstein have you ever ran two video cards at once? [05:04] Hi everyone, I'm new on irc and I'm looking for some good channels to learn programming. Do you guys know any of them? Thanks. [05:05] kingbeowolf: ubuntu *certainly* provides support for the dual head setup... and doenst block nvidia from providing driver support in anyway [05:05] holstein i have in crossfire and sli but not just 2 seperate cards [05:05] kingbeowolf: i have. and sometimes it worked.. sometimes, not [05:05] ok [05:06] kingbeowolf: always depeding on how well the manufacturer's driver works.. or, if the support comes from them for open support, such as well supported intel hardware [05:06] guscl: ##programming === L is now known as Guest82667 [05:06] holstein right right [05:06] Thanks lotus, =] [05:07] I am on ubuntu 12.04, the busybox in the repo doesn't have ftpd compiled. [05:08] is there any version more fully fledged? [05:08] kingbeowolf, also having monitors with good/not buggy EDIDs helps [05:08] when I do ps aux, what do S+ and R+ stand for? [05:10] yellowfish, R process running, S process sleeping [05:11] My python processes are running though but it says S+ [05:11] at least the file that it's changing keeps getting updated [05:11] I'm running Screen btw [05:14] yellowfish, it could be about to sleep, there is a table that holds all processes sleeping or about to sleep, same for running. Try man ps [05:16] Hey guys, i am currently trying to install ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my desktop. I am running into an issue where ubuntu isnt detecting my windows partitions.

[05:25] what does "no longer affect" mean? in this launchpad bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308998 ), it was mentioned that the individual status bar was always not visible while using synaptic. in the comments section, it was mentioned that it no longer affects synaptic; but synaptic is still affected with this. so, what does "no longer affect" mean? [05:25] Launchpad bug 1308998 in synaptic (Ubuntu) "status column in synaptic download window keeps disappearing" [Undecided,Confirmed] [05:28] what are the available desktop enviarment in ubunto ? [05:31] rundll32: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available [05:31] hi how do i install chrome for 12.04? it is not in the software center, after downloading it from the chrome website i dont see GO, i see ubuntu softwaree [05:31] no, not yet. [05:32] ignore above [05:32] tripelb: download it..... run the .deb [05:32] tripelb: :) [05:32] tripelb, click on Install [05:32] Jordan_U: -1 or -I [05:32] belorix: small -L [05:33] Jordan_U: Giving me an warning regarding GPT tables [05:34] i did, gave my password, then it cant find chrome -says terminal. later i get ubuntu has experienced an internal error but then nothing changed. [05:34] belorix: That problem is what's preventing Ubunu's installer from working with that partition table. [05:35] tripelb, so you installed it, it says it's already isntalled but you can't find it [05:35] I think I am going to get 14.04 since the other version of 12.04 I had kept getting internal errors. After gnome was disbanded I dont like ubuntu. it's become endless problems. [05:35] belorix: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ [05:36] tripelb: ive always used gnome-session-fallback ... 12.04 and 14.04 [05:36] dat moment when github.com is down [05:36] tripelb: no unity for me [05:36] this is a samsung amd laptop, should I get 64 bit? or 32? (assuming they both exist. [05:37] tripelb: if uname -a says 64 then get 64 [05:37] tripelb, wild guess, 64bit [05:37] I cant tell a thing about which linux I want from the ubuntu software center. what's it good for? [05:38] tripelb: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/ [05:38] tripelb: software center is for addon packages, not the base OS [05:39] tripelb: 32 and 64 have mostly the same stuff available [05:40] this is hexchat and I cant join any other channels? this has never happened before. I wanted to see if there is a #mint and it didnt even make one for me. [05:40] tripelb, mint channel is on another server [05:40] !mint [05:40] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:47] wait, I did join. it just took forever. === percY-Work is now known as percY-work === percY-work is now known as percY-Work === xzavier is now known as xzavierdev [05:49] does anyone know a better alternative for aptana studio 3? i am looking for an lightweight ide with ftp support to edit files [05:49] dw1 thanks for the comments. I understand more now. I will go to either 14.04 or another type of linux that acts more like gnome. Unity fazes me. [05:49] molossus: see if any of these might work for you: http://alternativeto.net/software/aptana/?platform=linux [05:50] tripelb: there are a lot of choices http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available [05:50] Jordan_U: Im trying to backup my partitions table to a USB drive. However i keep getting permission denied, sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb for reading [05:50] tripelb: all can run on ubuntu [05:50] anyone have any idea why the installer for 14.04 LTS would be really balky when installing onto a poweredge R820? it took forever to convince it that it could use one of the network connections, and now it keeps falling over at the step where it tries to configure apt [05:51] OK I will stick to ubuntu, there's no community over at #mint. [05:51] tripelb: and many work on 12.04 or 14.04 .. [05:51] pops up the progress bar, chugs for a second, then returns me to the main menu [05:51] tripelb: yeah thats one of the best parts of ubuntu [05:51] i just want it to install grub and reboot >:( [05:51] i am using Ubuntu 13.10 at home, and sometimes at work i use cygwin to export firefox from my home to work laptop. is there anyway when i come home and say i am using a different laptop i could export the same firefox session ? [05:52] tripelb: so just install gnome-session-fallback and choose gnome at login for classic gnome :) [05:52] cisconinja, Firefox Sync? [05:53] belorix: sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sdX > parts.txt [05:53] and so I just found an official flavor of ubuntu http://ubuntugnome.org/ yippee [05:53] kostkon, no. let us say i use gimp [05:53] !gnome [05:53] GNOME was the default desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10. To install the GNOME Shell, type [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ] in a !terminal. For the GNOME-based !flavor of Ubuntu, see !ubuntu-gnome [05:54] tripelb: no need.. just install the packages on regular ubuntu :/ [05:54] any way to force debian-installer to bypass this step it's falling over on? [05:54] cisconinja, misunderstood the q [05:54] righton. hi dw1 OK. Is there an advantage to doing it that way? [05:54] kostkon, i am asking if there is a way that i can use the same session [05:55] tripelb: no disadvantage that i know :) [05:55] cisconinja: chrome have build sync, as for others you can use online storage for syn [05:55] Anyone here that can answer a question? [05:55] tripelb: i dont use gnome-shell just gnome-session-fallback .. i hear its gnome 2-ish [05:55] gin_ what if i was using gimp or open office [05:56] cisconinja: with some risks, you can copy revelant parts of ~/; [05:57] I have a laptop that has on board intel graphics that aren't supported yet I guess...was wondering how often intel drivers get added in [05:57] tripelb: you can see it at that link [05:57] cisconinja: I meant copy between boxes [05:57] Jordan_U: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util sfdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. [05:57] tripelb: http://askubuntu.com/a/65087 [05:58] Is there even a set time or does it vary? [05:58] Or maybe I'm asking at the wrong place... [05:59] !patience | jason__, [05:59] jason__,: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:59] I didn't repeat it? [06:00] dw1 ah. previously was using the gnome-classic but as soon as I started with 12.04 was troubled but also kept doing things better (except for not supporting my dell all in one printer) so I will be very happy to ditch 12. (PS I used ubuntu 6 to 10 and "everything worked. I was lucky maybe.) [06:00] I've spent the last 24 straight hours troubleshooting an issue so I assure you I have done my share of googling etc [06:00] I must sleep now. My legs hurt. tada. [06:01] jason__: should just be autodetected and work, no? [06:01] Nope [06:01] jason__: What chipset is it? [06:01] jason__: what happens? anything in the logs? [06:01] X server error and a backlight issue that can't be fixed [06:01] jason__, could you paste the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [06:02] jason__, and what's the problem you are having exactly [06:02] tripelb: well to upgrade you will have to use do-release-upgrade -d or software-updater -d until 14.04.1 is out or it wont be offered [06:02] No I'm actually on my phone and the pc has been packaged and ready to go back to the store in the morning. I was just curious. [06:02] jason__, what was the problem [06:03] jason__: then you are beyond help :p [06:04] X server failed to start error, bypassed with nomodeset in grub got me to a terminal where I had to configure xorg in order to even full boot. Other wise backlight died after grub everytime. The laptop just came out. [06:04] After booted I would stay in software rendering mode [06:04] Hello.

[06:15] Yes [06:15] Hello; I'm trying to repair an install of ubuntu 14.04 using boot-repair, and when it got me to reinstall grub I'm getting some errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7445687/ [06:15] xning: particularly, "This package is a replacement for the regular libavcodec54 library package" [06:15] xning: so install whichever you want [06:18] jrib, I have installed libavcodec-extra-54, and didn't install libavcodec54. But the problem is, now libavcodec-extra-54 need update, and libavcodec54 is its dependency. [06:18] I cannot update libavcodec-extra-54 [06:19] xning: where do you see that it is its dependency? [06:20] has anyone upgraded to 14.04 recently and noticed wifi problems with a realtek network card? [06:20] Sorry. I should make it clear that now libavcodec-extra-54 need update, and when I try this, libavcodec54 be part of packages that will be installed [06:21] xning: pastebin [06:21] pages seem to be loading slowly for me on my ubuntu laptop, but not on my nook or android [06:26] jrib, I don't know why. I checked the packages that need update, if they need libavcodec54, they express as "libavocodec54 | libavcodec-extra-54 ". So it should no problem if I have installed libavcodec-extra-54, right? So it aptitude' problem, I think. [06:26] xning: pastebin what you are doing and the full output [06:27] Thanks, jrib. I think it's OK for me. I have resolved the problem. Thanks very much [06:27] xning: ok [06:29] How can i get X's version [06:33] Hi, anybody can help me with this problem?

[06:37] shawnbon206 offtopic chat goes to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:40] hi everybody [06:40] I have a question regarding, telnet, package. [06:40] now, does ubuntu 12.04 come with it installed? [06:41] !info telnet [06:41] telnet (source: netkit-telnet): The telnet client. In component main, is standard. Version 0.17-36build2 (trusty), package size 62 kB, installed size 156 kB [06:41] hello all friend [06:41] yes [06:41] how to work in ubuntu? [06:42] but why? [06:42] qin_: why? it is a security risk package [06:42] first step,second setep last step? [06:42] Radon_3: Client or server you mean? [06:43] qin_: client [06:43] Radon_3: Where did you got "sequrity risk" stuff from? [06:43] did the ubuntu use kernel files? [06:43] *security. [06:44] qin_: wait, I will find it ... a second please [06:44] ok [06:44] qin_: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Packages_Avoid.html [06:45] Saeedullah: you from afghanistan? [06:45] do u have information about kernel files [06:45] ? [06:45] Saeedullah: What do you want to know in detail? [06:46] Saeedullah: no, what is it that you are looking for? [06:46] Saeedullah: Can you speak Farsi? Cause I can help you to some extend if you can man, I speak Farsi... [06:47] qin_: so shoul I take that info seriously? [06:47] !farsi | Radon_3 [06:47] Radon_3: #ubuntu-ir baraye Farsi zabanan mibashad ke channele rasmie goroohe Iran-ie ubuntu ast. #ubuntu-ir برای فارسی زبانان می‌باشد که کانال رسمی گروه ایرانی اوبونتو است. [06:47] Radon_3: With this logic, do not use Linux since Evil Admin may have installed key logger. But that list make sense === AcidRain_ is now known as Acidrain2012 [06:48] qin_: Evil Admin??? [06:48] I installed Ubuntu my se3lf man [06:48] qin_: Can you explain a bit more please?? [06:48] Radon_3: In description of telnet it complains about plain text connection . [06:49] qin_: Which is true so far. Telnet doesnt use any encryption at all. [06:50] A command-line (wav or mp3 or flac) to ogg converter? [06:50] Radon_3: "elnet: Users will try to telnet to remote hosts and log in using clear text passwords. Run dsniff on the local machine as root to see that you can easily capture their passwords!" - that what would do someone with root/sudo access in your system (or someone sniffing your network) [06:51] qin_: log in too man, telnet can be yoused to login illegaly to a machine, [06:51] so telnet was installed in ubuntu 12.04 by ubuntu developers you meaan? [06:51] Radon_3: That would require comparibily server, like telnetd [06:52] Radon_3: No, it wasnt. [06:52] so with regard to all you have said so far, and that telnet was in ubuntu from Canonical, should I go back and install it again qin_ ?? [06:52] qin_: Which doesnt change the fact that it is highly insecure and should be extincted. [06:53] Radon_3: Will you use it? [06:53] no, [06:53] not at all [06:53] Radon_3: Just uninstall it, if telnet is installed. [06:53] I hate telnet [06:53] i use telnet to make sure a port is open [06:53] Is there some sort of log I could check if telnet has been used so far or not? [06:53] sanity check [06:54] dpkg -l | grep telnet [06:54] bekks: Dunno, I like to telnet somewhere from time to time, we are discussing how dangareous is telnet client [06:54] qin_: The client isnt dangerous at all. It is the server which imposes security issues. [06:54] correct === Crackz0r- is now known as Crackz0r [06:54] bekks: Thank you! [06:55] Thank you everyone, you have all been huge help to me people... [06:55] bekks: It was pointed that client do not possess any password protection, so sudoes can easliy gather users credentials [06:55] thank you all so much [06:56] qin_: The point is: the client doesnt use any password protection, because the server cant handle that. [06:57] qin_: the telnet client itself is a very handy tool to test connections. Though you should not use connections to a telnetd for security reasons. [06:57] heh, Radon_3? Don't Panick. [06:58] bekks: Radon_3 should be adresee, i have already said that. [06:59] bekks: Anyway, thats linky which put Radon_3 on his feet: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Packages_Avoid.html [07:00] qin_: Then he got things wrong, actually. [07:00] Radon_3: PRetty clear description there: "telnet: Users will try to telnet to remote hosts and log in using clear text passwords." [07:00] Radon_3: All other usecases of telnet are not covered. [07:01] bekks: Too late, he has purged half of his system ;) [07:01] qin_: He'll learn to stay calm and breathe next time. [07:02] bekks: seriously dudes??? I have damaged the system??? [07:02] comeon now... [07:02] I only purged telnet [07:02] what damages could it do? [07:02] Radon_3: I dont know what you have done to your system yet. [07:03] Radon_3: So what did you do, in detail? [07:03] I told you, I "only" purged telent [07:03] after I read that article last night [07:03] Radon_3: Which wasnt necessary, but doesnt do any harm. [07:03] so why do you say I have purged half of my system? [07:04] Radon_3: I wasn't serious. You can always: sudo apt-get install -f; to see if all is ok. [07:04] hello, has anybody heard of a "red" command before? [07:04] Radon_3: I did not say that. [07:04] Jae: You can search "packages.ubuntu.com" for that command. [07:04] ah thanks [07:04] Radon_3 no expert me, but I bet the #ubuntu-server channel with its sysadmins would have valuable insight [07:04] its just i can't get out of it [07:05] Jae: press q then enter [07:05] Jae: its a text editor [07:05] omg thanks [07:05] Jae: man red [07:05] i've been doing ctrl+ c [07:05] i just use nano -- [07:05] and :q :quit [07:05] lol [07:06] "Though shall not use text editors others than vi." ;) [07:06] no i misspelled, i didn't think it was a text editor [07:06] ^ [07:06] im used to vim [07:06] sry im just new, thanks again dwl [07:06] lucky guess. :) [07:06] bekks: heh -- vi was too esoteric for me. [07:06] Blue1: I didnt like the coffee emacs made. [07:07] I like Gnu emacs, but I end up using nano all the time === pauxlo is now known as lupfantomo [07:07] vi or gedit [07:07] nano had a zero learning curve [07:07] Radon_3, :> [07:07] yea [07:07] and vi still bugs the heck out of me [07:07] nano [07:07] is nice [07:08] it gets the job done - [07:08] does it have that auto-wordwrap thing that pico has tho [07:08] im afraid of that [07:09] wrecked my cron tasks too many times :) [07:09] I got arch linux up and running looks nice :D [07:10] i couldn't figure out gnome3 or unity so I use xubuntu [07:10] cool [07:10] i use gnome classic :) [07:11] can you get gnome classic in ubuntu? [07:11] Isnt gnome classic just dead? [07:11] its not called classic but i use the gnome-session-fallback / flashback [07:11] no gnome-shell :/ [07:11] ahh [07:12] gnome 2 today. gnome 2 tomorrow. gnome 2 forever. [07:12] its a 2 lookaline running on 3, apparently [07:12] lookalike* [07:12] this is ubuntu :) [07:12] I am using enlightenment :D [07:12] looks pretty nice [07:12] i would use unity or gnome 3 if they had some kind of guide for gnome 2 users - context switching is non-trivial [07:13] Blue1: alt+tab -- for gnome users, that might be hard ;) [07:13] https://www.enlightenment.org/ [07:13] you can give it a try [07:13] Blue1: there is no gnome 2 anymore, is it? [07:13] qin_: Yeah, gnome 2 upstream is dead. [07:13] qin_: i guess that's now gnome-fallback [07:13] yes it is dead, jim [07:14] So let it go. [07:14] my ubuntu installation started screwing up after the upgrade from 13 -> 14. Usually it screws up during the upgrade. I decided to switch os's until i feel comfortable returning [07:14] cjsarette: upgrades have been problematic for me - it's why I backup /etc/ and /home/ and do a fresh install [07:15] Wise man. [07:15] i went back to linux mint [07:15] My apologies. [07:15] i prefer the simpler MATE, its like the older GNOME [07:16] well xubuntu had a bit of a learning curve too - -but not too bad [07:16] and yeah, you see it didn't have any errors after the upgrade. It complained about /boot/efi a few times after booting the upgrade. I tired running boot-repair and it couldn't find the installation [07:16] Hello Radon_3 [07:16] cjsarette: I have a recipe for fixing those types of things [07:16] all my upgrades worked ftw [07:16] Saeedullah: hello brother [07:17] Saeedullah: where have you been? [07:17] sorry for late respons [07:17] lol [07:17] i am in afghanistan [07:17] working in bank [07:17] what are the bootloaders available? [07:17] cjsarette: why lol? [07:17] i was following the ubuntu help page and it didn't work, so i returned to something i have more control of [07:17] in now want to joint the university as a lecturer [07:18] cjsarette: youll be back for the family :p [07:18] other than grub and lilo ? [07:18] i still use ubuntu touch at least [07:18] cjsarette: More control than...? Mint is totally based upon Ubuntu, and uses the exact same tools. [07:18] Radon_3 i want to learn ubuntu step by step [07:19] is it possible to learn ? [07:19] bekks yeah i have been using linux mint longer [07:19] i always had issues with the desktop, little things that could be added [07:19] but i reconfigure soo much i hated doing it all manually [07:19] like Force Quit icon for example [07:19] i am pretty happy with debian/wheezy [07:19] Saeedullah, it is. === arnis_ is now known as arnis [07:19] Saeedullah: well my personal suggestion would be to just jump in there brother, no waste of time, Get a book too, and read as you work with it, also ubuntu is not a hard thing to learn, easier than windows... [07:20] yes [07:20] yea [07:20] i considered debian for a server but went with ubuntu <3 [07:20] dw1: For the sake of support lenght ;) [07:20] i use both - but yeah, my servers are all debian [07:20] how to find book? [07:20] bekks: yes it is nice [07:21] i was running debian for a while but this is a new laptop. I even had to use Ubuntu until Linux Mint would boot. All i ended up doing was waiting, heh, and it started booting up [07:21] linux in a nutshell is a good start - it's basically man in a book [07:21] i have already installed in my pc [07:21] i also had a problem with the bug tracker. I decided to send in a bug report; thinking it would be a good thing and it would help. All it did was toast my ubuntu, hehe [07:21] now i want to learn prictcally [07:21] cjsarette: The bug tracker toasted your Ubuntu? [07:21] Saeedullah, it is pretty easy. [07:22] Saeedullah: you know about Google and amazon right? Also there are bunch free good materials available on the web, like this one: http://debian-handbook.info/get/ [07:22] its where I'm located [07:22] dw1: i want to boot darwin with ubuntu and arch which loader is best ? [07:22] im in this place in wyoming where they sorta have me trapped [07:22] what i do isn't exactly what happens [07:22] its messed up [07:22] Saeedullah you keep asking this question and keep ignoring the advice to read the free book that will teach you [07:22] Saeedullah http://www.linuxine.com/linuxbooks [07:22] rundll32: any i guess. dont know [07:22] rundll32: Which hardware do you have? [07:22] yeah my computer got caught in the wave [07:23] bekks: intel x86. [07:23] cfhowlett okay [07:23] brother [07:23] rundll32: Make and model? Apple by chance? [07:24] what is cross platform means? [07:24] bekks: compaq presario dektop pc, [07:24] ubuntu working in cross platform [07:24] rundll32: So you are trying to boot OSX on non-Apple-hardware? [07:24] cfhowlett: thanks for the link brother [07:24] it means ? [07:24] Saeedullah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform [07:24] Radon_3 enjoy [07:25] Saeedullah: ubuntu is a platform (-ish) itself already man [07:25] i want darwin to boot with other two. [07:25] Radon_3: thats not true ;) [07:25] bekks: really??? [07:25] why not? [07:25] Radon_3: Ubuntu is "just" a linux flavor, not a platform. [07:25] chameleon with grub , rundll32 [07:25] well linux is a platform, isn't it? [07:25] chameleon & grub [07:26] ok [07:26] bekks: thanks. [07:26] I can't recall but yes I did triple boot it [07:26] Radon_3: Linux is, Ubuntu isnt - technically. :) [07:26] bekks: which some how makes ubuntu a platform (-ish) kind of thing... ;) [07:27] Radon_3: Nope... [07:28] ok, my hands are in the air, I surrender, Ubuntu is not a platform, not even a platformish kind of thing, I am sorry, please don't crusify me... :) [07:28] bekks: what is your openion ?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:28] rundll32, try chameleon and grub [07:28] rundll32: Do you want to run OSX on non-Apple hardware? [07:28] there are plenty of resources out there which can help you out [07:29] bekks: nope. [07:29] bekks: i want darwin to run with arch and ubuntu. [07:30] rundll32 might want to ask ##linux [07:30] I gotta go, IRC freaks me the hell out..... [07:31] anyways to extend upon my wave comment since most of you think i am going crazy. I have a big experiment for you guys. It usually makes me end up finding hidden updates. Think of it as reaching the far corners of the internet. After a time or two things even out on your computer as it is leveling out in cyberspace. [07:31] Obtain, write, purchase, or use a gui to rapidly connect to as many VPN's around the world as you can [07:31] check for updates at the same time and viola you find the hidden updates. It sounds bogus i know [07:31] rundll32: could you provide the download link for darwin, since it isnt OSX and is opensource according to wikipedia? === Tribade is now known as Muscularfemale [07:32] i usually end up having to ride the VPN waves just covering up my tracks and i stumbled upon this [07:32] ... [07:33] i would run the script, and then after updating i would find a hidden dump, usually over 500MB [07:34] anyways im an old trader so i know i sound ridiculous [07:34] cjsarette: I am wondering when you will come back to Ubuntu support issues again. [07:34] !ot | cjsarette [07:34] cjsarette: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:48] Muscularfemale wait - maybe [07:48] Muscularfemale if you install virtualbox in windows, then you can install ubuntu to virtualbox [07:49] cfhowlett: wasn't there a ubuntu that ran under windows? [07:49] Blue1 wubi = no longer supported and inadvised in any case [07:49] but cant i put that iso under a pen drive and run from there? [07:49] cfhowlett: ahh that's what I was thinking of -- I didn't know it was no longer supported [07:49] or if required then boot from it? [07:50] cfhowlett: How long has that been the case? [07:50] Muscularfemale yes but that means it's NOT running through XP, right? [07:50] Muscularfemale: http://pkill-9.com/ubuntu-go-installing-linux-usb-flash-drive/ [07:50] aaparella since win8.1 [07:50] Hello, i current have a Linksys WUSB54GC v1, on windows its runs perfectly, however under linux i barely get a signal. [07:51] I can't even get a webpage to load. [07:51] cfhowlett: Is it still supported for older versions of Window? [07:51] Windows* [07:51] cory8092: what type of lan card do you have? [07:51] aaparella yes [07:51] Blue1: This is a USB device. I do have a WMP110 plugged into the same machine, but dont use it. [07:52] Thanks cfhowlett! [07:52] aaparella still a huge PITA though, thus my suggestion of windows + virtualbox + ubuntu [07:52] new one on me [07:54] !nfs [07:54] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [07:54] cory8092: this looks fairly straightforward. have you tried this? http://rewiv.com/blog/2008/09/08/how-to-install-your-linksys-wmp110-wireless-gn-card-on-linux/ [07:55] Blue1: I'm not trying to use the WMP110. I am using the Linksys WUSB54GC v1 USB for wifi [07:56] can anyone help me to mount .iso file into usb in ubuntu 12.04? [07:56] canis for making a bootable USB? [07:57] canis: http://pkill-9.com/mounting-an-iso9660-iso-file-in-linux-ubuntudebian/ [07:57] cory8092: my bad [07:57] yes [07:57] can i do this with startup disk creator? [07:57] canis unetbootin or startup disk creator are the tools for that [07:58] canis: 1) Format the USB as FAT32 using the "Disks" utility. 2) Install unetbootin and use that to create a bootable USB from an ISO. The startup disk creator has given me issues before and unetbootin always works. [07:58] canis: You can install unetbootin with "sudo apt-get install unetbootin" and afterward it will appear in the menu. [07:59] cory8092: let me clarify you are NOT using the wmp110 but a WUSB54GC right? [07:59] Blue1: Yes [07:59] ok [08:00] Blue1: It's like dropping the connection. While on windows i have no problem getting a signal. Once im on ubuntu the signal strength drops out and wont even allow me to connect. [08:00] how can i take backup of installed software in ubuntu12.04? [08:01] cory8092: you could try: http://jefim.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/how-to-linksys-wusb54gc-wireless-and-ubuntu-linux-704-feisty/ [08:01] !backup|canis [08:01] canis: There are many ways to back your system up.

[08:33] there was a person that used the user name of xuzax here :-0 [08:34] thas kinda crazy aswell [08:34] any ideas [08:35] ? [08:35] tell him to try update and retry what he wants radon [08:35] Should I run apt-get autoremove?? [08:35] they seem like important packages === Sway|away is now known as Sway === Sway is now known as zSwayz [08:36] I'm seeing something odd. I used to be able to ssh into one of my home computers from inside the home, now I can't - but I can still ssh in using the external IP and the port-forwarded port number. Is it possible that a recent upgrade disabled my ssh access internally but not externally? How would that even work? [08:36] the onlyxuzax i ever heard of was an extreme hacker :/ [08:37] thats extremely odd etfb [08:38] Connection is refused even using the other port. Very weird. [08:38] i dont understand why or how that would be possible, if anything it should be the opposit, to desable externally and not internally [08:39] man [08:40] what is this libgmp3c2 package anyways?

WHY do you install something when you are saying "I dont know what to do"? :) [08:50] Radon_3: Do you have a 64bit or 32bit Ubuntu? [08:52] bekks: I have a 64bit system [08:53] Radon_3: Then you can safely uninstall all those unneede 32bit dependencies. [08:53] bekks: and should I install libgmp3c2? [08:54] Radon_3: No. But you already did. [08:54] bekks: Can you not be cryptic please? [08:54] :( [08:54] Radon_3: Read your second paste, and see that libgmp3c2 has just been installed.

[08:56] I am scared right now [08:56] holding my breath [08:56] Radon_3: Then dont press random keys as answers to questions. And calm down. [08:57] ok, what should I do? [08:57] a) The package is already installed. b) You did that. c) apt-get tells you to remove unneeded dependencies d) those are still installed e) those can safely be removed. [08:57] so i am running apt-get autoremove?? [08:58] is that right? [08:58] f) the command to install the package will NOT remove packages. g) your second paste tells you the command to remove the dependencies unneeded.

[09:02] flux242: "netstat -tupan" [09:02] sorry, if I forgot "s [09:03] you have to use sudo for netstat as well.

[09:08] flux242: I have them too, I think they are used to spy on people, like from NSA [09:08] Radon_3: i see your point. Now go away [09:08] plz help me when i use Unetbootin in ubuntu when i try to browse iso file it didn't show [09:08] government things, don't bother i guess [09:08] just show computer inside it there is no drive?

Thank you. [09:09] ok [09:10] bekks: it should matter because it only shows opened or closed tcp connections. [09:11] flux242: It shows listening ports, too. [09:11] flux242: So will you pastebin it or not? [09:11] bekks: no [09:11] bekks: shall I pastebin mine? If it is not considered intrudence? [09:11] flux242: Good luck then in finding someone who will help you. [09:12] np [09:12] Radon_3: i think there's no updated index in the server, so nothing has to be downloaded of course. you don't need to update every 5 minutes [09:12] Radon_3: Did I talk to you? No. Your output of lsof is useless to the problem of flux242. [09:12] I am so unhappy, I am gonna cry for a while, sorry if I am bothering you all, bye [09:13] ah, with sudo it shows more [09:13] Radon_3: I am unhappy also, as I have no place to live [09:13] ronaldsmazitis stop now.

NOT personal issues [09:17] Guys - I feel embarrassing need help for this - I used to use nfsv3 a lot but for some reason I could not get it working again with my home machines. Can someone give me a hand? [09:17] !info nfsv3 [09:17] Package nfsv3 does not exist in trusty [09:17] I'm trying setup nfsv4 following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto#NFSv4_without_Kerberos [09:18] lesterc: "could not get" is pretty generic. What are you doing, what doesnt work, throwing which errors? [09:20] yeah bekks I'll be specific - got kids at the back.. :) `showmount -e' and mount from the client machine simply timedout. [09:22] lesterc: So the NFS server isnt running. Or it is blocked by a firewall. [09:22] bekks: both client and server machines are pretty vanilla ubuntu trusty setup with no firewall [09:22] lesterc: By default, there is a firewall ;) [09:22] oh right ufw yeah? [09:22] * lesterc checks [09:22] yes [09:22] lesterc there is a firewall but it's not enabled [09:24] when i use unetbootin it stuck at 5% what to do? [09:24] canis for how long? [09:24] for about 15 min [09:24] ufw is off. `iptables-save returns nothing on both machines. [09:24] lesterc: sudo iptables -L -vnx [09:25] canis any popups? you have to authorize a couple of times for th unetbootin to complete its works [09:25] couldn't cry :) [09:25] Radon_3: Hopefully you stay ontopic now. [09:25] no any popups [09:25] thx llutz [09:25] you got it chief [09:25] bekks: poicy==accept for all chains with no rules. [09:26] lesterc: Then iptables isnt running. Well, your NFS server isnt running. [09:27] `pgrep nfs` returns 11 pids so I think it's running. [09:28] `showmount -e` on the server works as expected. [09:28] what else should I check? :) [09:28] unetbootin stuck what to do? [09:29] hi... what is the shell command to set the ip address back to an automatic ip from a fixed ip? [09:29] canis: are you creating the usb drive or what? [09:30] i needed to temporarily set it to fixed to set up my ddwrt as client mode, and now i need to switch back to auto ip [09:30] canis did you very the ISO? [09:30] i am going to create bootable usb drive? [09:30] chaotix: /etc/network/interfaces [09:30] lesterc: we are talking about nfs3, are we? [09:30] bekks: I'm setting up nfsv4 but I don't mind if I can get v3 working again.... (I couldn't) [09:30] i am going to create usb bootable ? [09:30] lesterc, i used the ifconfig command, i did not edit /etc/network/interfaces [09:31] i did ifconfig etho 192.168.1.7 [09:31] now i need to go back to automatic [09:31] chaotix: sudo dhclient eth0 [09:31] i am going to install 14.04LTS i have already downloaded .iso file now i need to make usb bootable [09:31] lesterc: So disable/undo all that NFSv4 stuff :) [09:32] canis DID = YOU = VERIFY = THE = ISO?

[09:33] bekks, it is still 192.168.1.7 after "sudo dhclient etho" [09:34] chaotix: sudo service network-manager restart [09:34] chaotix: So thats the IP you got from your DHCP server. [09:34] chaotix: you could try ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 [09:34] canis: as well as checking the md5 on your iso, can you also run unetbootin from a terminal - 'sudo unetbootin' to see if any error messages pop up? that might give you some idea as to why it gets stuck [09:34] !md5sum|canis [09:34] canis: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:35] yes i can run unetbootin from terminal [09:36] canis: Test the ISO first.

[11:48] Hi, Is there Ubuntu Touch for Geeksphone Peak [11:49] give me instruction to work in ubuntu [11:49] i just installed it but how can work in ubuntu [11:49] saeedullah learn it by using it, like you did with windows/mac [11:49] !manual | saeedullah just use ubuntu and start reading here: [11:49] i don't know starting from which one?

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [11:50] it is defficult for me [11:50] saeedullah: Thats part of the learning curve. [11:50] coze i don't have idea about it [11:50] saeedullah: Well, you still have to start. [11:50] ok [11:51] WHat is the simplest way to see what is on another partition so I dont format the wrong one! [11:51] it is possible to see learning pictuer wise [11:51] did u know talk? [11:51] opalepatrick: mount it, check it [11:51] ok thanks llutz [11:52] Hi, Is there Ubuntu Touch for Geeksphone Peak? [11:52] saeedullah: stop the nonsense now [11:52] saeedullah, do not repeat questions please, it is already answered [11:52] ohhhhhhhhh dear [11:52] i have to know the ubuntu [11:52] bekks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 is a very informative source of infomation, thank you for that, a few questions though, can I ask them? [11:53] saeedullah: then learn reading first. basic skill for all you ever want to know [11:53] saeedullah yes, explore it a bit, click here and there etc [11:54] Radon_3: yes. just ask this channel. [11:54] How can I figure out which version of tar 12.04 has by default? [11:54] !info tar precise | skfax [11:54] skfax: tar (source: tar): GNU version of the tar archiving utility. In component main, is required. Version 1.26-4ubuntu1 (precise), package size 212 kB, installed size 716 kB [11:54] skfax: tar --version :) [11:55] apt-get remove tar [11:55] no need [11:55] nodedfree: sstop that nonsense please [11:55] OK, the following questions are about: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 , and in relation with Nvidia property driver, in Ubuntu 12.04. Will the guidelines provided in that article also work for 12.04? 2-Will the options sugested in that article only prevent nouveau from modesetting once, or for ever? [11:56] I wanted to put a fresh install of 14.04 32 bit on my laptop. I already have it dual booting with Windows 8. When I boot from the usb drive, and try to do a manual install, I keep getting: The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition. I already have Ubuntu installed and dual booting fine. How can I fix this? [11:57] Radon_3: guess why the headings are "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS" and "How to permanently set kernel boot options on an installed OS". [11:58] bekks: I'm on 14.04 at the moment, but it seems like tar 1.27 broke a Yocto build I'm trying to get running. I see that 14.04 is running 1.27.1 - Would it be easy to just downgrade tar? I was considering just installing 12.04 since it's a virtual machine [11:58] AceKing: you could try formatting the partition in win 8 and then try again [11:58] llutz: That was a pretty sweet bot function :) [11:58] bekks: well if I set it for temporal type of situation then what about the next time I boot to the system? Nouveau will still load, and If I set them permanently then nothing, not even nvidia would be able to perform modesetting, then.... :( [11:58] skfax: downgrading tar isnt that easy. And if some software relies on old version of _tar_ - throw it away and use some more sane software. [11:59] cactuswizard: Which partion? Windows 8 doesn't recognize ext4 [11:59] Radon_3: And you can tell us at least _one_ reason why it would be vital to use kernel modesetting with nvidia? [11:59] Radon_3: Or do you just think you need it? [12:00] I'm already dual booting Windows 8 with Ubuntu. I just wanted to put a fresh copy of Ubuntu on [12:00] I am thinkng maybe something else (not only nvidia) maybe the OS itself would probably need it. [12:00] Radon_3: You are wrong with that. [12:01] so I am going to permanently disablemodesetting... does it sound good? [12:01] Radon_3: For testing purposes - sure. === ignas is now known as Vinipux [12:01] Hi after installing 14.04 on another drive and updating grub (didn't find my win7 first). My keyboard and mouse stopped working on win7??? They still work in the grub menu and stop working on the win7 login. Any ideas? [12:01] bekks: so you see, I am not a tester, I am a user man. [12:02] Radon_3: Actually you are a tester - you have an issue and you have to test a workaround. [12:03] bekks: Do you think it is such a good idea to first disable mode setting temporarily, install the Nvidia driver, and then remove Nouvoua drive totally, and then enable modesetting again?? [12:03] do you thyink it would work? [12:03] Radon_3: Thats pretty much nonsense. [12:03] how so? [12:04] Radon_3: Install the nvidia driver from the ubuntu repos. Try booting. If it doesnt work, try using nomodeset. Try booting. [12:04] bekks: my deareset sweetest bekks I am trying to install drivers from nvidia website.... [12:05] not from the repos [12:05] Radon_3: Do not do that. [12:05] why not honey? [12:05] You have no clue what you are doing, and your nvidia driver will break upon every kernel update. [12:05] If you call me honey once more, i will put you on ignore. I dont even know you. [12:06] bekks: well I sort of do, I am reading the manual.... ;( [12:06] Radon_3: you kinda dont, unless you are reading this: [12:06] !nvidia | Radon_3 [12:06] Radon_3: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [12:10] Just fyi: re-enabling UEFI Boot in bios solved my problem with the non-working keyboard an mouse. [12:12] Hello. [12:13] <_1_l> / === zSwayz is now known as Sway [12:17] hi all, I have a kind of strange problem, wondering if anyone can help... [12:17] !ask|jwinterm [12:17] jwinterm: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:18] I just installed 14.04 minimal install on a desktop with a 750W psu and two amd 270 gpus. The system boots, but only to tty1. I can run commands from the terminal, but if I run a command that will cause a lot of text to be output, the system crashes [12:19] for instance, "grub-install /dev/sda" is OK, only one line of text, but "grub-install --help" crashes computer [12:19] also, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" crashes computer [12:19] I'm thinking it's a power issue [12:19] what do you mean by "crash"? [12:20] not necessarily from psu, but maybe can't draw enough power from the wall [12:20] do you get a kernel panic? [12:20] screen kind of flashes then goes black [12:20] kaput [12:20] jwinterm "power" meaning hardware? yeah, I can see that. but any internal power issues should throw an error message if only to the logs [12:21] I mean power from the wall, like maybe circuit in the house isn't giving psu enough power and making it crash [12:21] is there a log file that would indicate that? [12:21] jwinterm I've no knowledge of same but ##linux would know more [12:22] hey, does anyone the problem with BlueTooth after 14.04 ? [12:22] ok, I think I'm just gonna try and move it to a different circuit/part of house and see if that helps [12:22] that the mouse won`t connect [12:22] jwinterm that would be the easiest test ... [12:25] Hello. I have a problem that I cannot proceed to do anything after I attempt to log in on Ubuntu, and I can't seem to resolve the issue either. [12:25] How am I suppose to reinstall the thing when I can't even get internet because I can't login? [12:26] Aeterne you don't need internet to install. [12:26] Can you explain how I enter the shell and reinstall it without internet? [12:27] Of course, I'm so lucky that I can't even login in the shell... I suspect it's the ÆØÅ characters. [12:27] it helps to have internet during installation for wifi detection tho [12:27] Aeterne explain [12:28] My username is my name, which contains the Å-Norwegian letter, so I can't even login as root. This is all terribly convoluted. Bah. [12:28] And I have an exam I am suppose to be bloody writing for. Perfect timing, as it always is! [12:28] det årner seg [12:28] :( Det håper jeg. [12:29] Aeterne change your username to something more readable, and don't login as root [12:29] How can I determine which xorg configuration file Nouveau is using at the moment? [12:29] does nouveau use xorg.conf at all? [12:30] How do I do that without root privileges to begin with? [12:32] hello all [12:33] Aeterne doing something with root priviliges is not the same as login as root [12:33] Is it possible to dual boot windows and ubuntu on a external hard drive? Say, I have 2 partitions, with ubuntu on one, and windows on the other. Would I be able to plug the external hard drive into a computer, and select windows or ubuntu using grub? [12:34] anyone can help me to solve the error message while installing VGA driver. the error message is sorry, sorry the installation of this driver failed [12:34] asker it theoritically possible [12:35] Hi there... [12:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username [12:36] since the bios saw the external HDD and internal equally i think [12:36] Literally every method [12:36] that lists how to change the username relies on administrative rights, MonkeyDust. [12:36] So if you could provide a link of some kind, that'd be helpful. [12:36] Lorith[Alpha]: How would one accomplish that, though? [12:37] Aeterne use sudo [command], if you want to do something as root [12:37] Aeterne: Ctrl-Shift-U then 00C5 then enter [12:38] would someone please tell me how to determine which xorg.conf file nouveau is using at the moment? [12:39] Aeterne: are you sure your full name is the user name? usually when you install ubuntu you provide your full name and it generates a suitable username from it [12:39] Aeterne: may not work in console :( [12:40] Aeterne: but you could boot a liveusb then chroot with #3-7 here http://tinyurl.com/ubchroot to modify the filesystem [12:40] Aeterne: you can reinstall packages from there too [12:41] Hrmm... All I allegedly need to do is reinstall ubuntu-desktop as that's the thing that fails after updating the Ubuntu system, supposedly. [12:41] So would you recommend that, then? [12:42] Aeterne: yeah you can install it in a chroot [12:42] Aeterne if you should reinstall, create a separate /home partition, som you personal files are safe [12:42] I already put /home in the 1TB SSD and put everything else in the 120GB SSD [12:43] If I lost 20k+ words of text... oh man. [12:43] I'd probably just give this semester a fond farewell. [12:43] well, i never install in multiple drives, but i think it's 100% possible if you run diskless PC (just unplug the internal HDD) then treat it as installing windows+ubuntu dual boot [12:44] Aeterne: chroot is basically the same as logging into recovery mode as root [12:44] Aeterne always backup important files [12:44] aeterne u can drop to root privilege at recovery mode u know that right? === crondd is now known as 2JTAADBCY === 2JTAADBCY is now known as crond [12:44] Lorith[Alpha]: he cant login cause of special character [12:45] ^ Thank you. [12:45] This is correct. [12:47] Aeterne: so boot a liveusb and in a console or terminal do the chroot (#3-7 at http://tinyurl.com/ubchroot) with your ubuntu root partition then you can reinstall packages and/or rename users/folders [12:48] I take it I replace /sda1 with my respective /root partition, yes? [12:48] yep [12:49] I did, but when I followed with the next step, it simply says mount point doesn't exist. === xubuntu is now known as Guest59219 [12:49] sounds like a simple error [12:49] wrong partition or no /mnt [12:50] brb [12:50] dw1: could you tell me how I can see which xorg.conf is being used by nouveau right now? [12:51] Radon_3: no idea... [12:51] oi ae, so u need to change your username coz u can't login and uninstall some stuff right? [12:51] ;( [12:51] * osse is still wondering how he managed to create the user name in the first place [12:51] all the times I've installed ubuntu the installer has forbidden it [12:51] maybe it was created after install then install username was deleted :) [12:52] Yes, Lorith. Also, osse, I have to assume it's the reason because the username / pw I use doesn't work when I enter into the shell. [12:52] whose username are we talking about? It sounds iunteresting. [12:52] I used the installation for many days until there was an update yesterday which, well, caused this when I woke this morning. [12:52] Bård Spein is the username. [12:52] hmm, is there a compelling reason as to why ubiquity is preferring to to install to my second hdd? [12:52] Aeterne if it EVER worked, then user name is not the problem [12:53] Then why can't I even login to the shell? Ubuntu boots up just fine: it's that when I login, it just stalls, does nothing, nothing happens and I can't enter the desktop. [12:53] That's the problem here, just so I reiterate for everybody who's interested here. [12:53] http://askubuntu.com/questions/410244/a-command-to-list-all-users-in-ubuntu [12:53] Aeterne suggest you reboot and try an older kernel. [12:53] oh that doesnt sound like username [12:53] check which one is yours [12:54] from there [12:54] but the username will make it hard to get into recovery mode [12:54] OK, thank you. I'll do that. [12:54] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:54] recovery mode use root i think, not requiring any login [12:54] and /home/user/.xsession-errors [12:55] brb trying my method in my pc [12:55] Lorith[Alpha]: oh is it automated ogin :/ [12:55] Hrm... I can't really list all the users. Once again: I can't login to shell to begin with. [12:56] Aeterne: check logs in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [12:57] someone just had a very similar problem 2 days ago but i forget the fix [12:57] Aeterne: in case you haven't already, while booting the live system, *make a copy* of your important files [12:57] restart> (in grub)advanced option for ubuntu>ubuntu blah2 (recovery mode)> root [12:57] files shouldnt be affected... [12:57] no login whatsoever [12:58] and oh it's root administrative [12:58] yeah i think they had no desktop package [12:58] did anyone get f.lux working on ubuntu 14.04? [12:59] Aeterne: to get the package you might need the internet and therefore liveusb + chroot as before [12:59] Aeterne: or dhclient from recovery might work [13:00] I should be good in terms of files. [13:00] hola alguien que hable español? [13:00] Let's see. So I need to check the Xorg logs. [13:00] !es|caruso [13:00] caruso: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [13:02] hello, anybodyy cout there who could help me to install ubuntu 14.4 out of an old 12.10 Sytem? [13:02] Aeterne: "All I allegedly need to do is reinstall ubuntu-desktop as that's the thing that fails after updating the Ubuntu system, supposedly. [13:02] mean could [13:02] Aeterne: was there some error [13:02] Not as I recall, no. [13:03] Aeterne: just guessing? [13:04] I'm pretty sure there wasn't, but at that point I had written about 6000 words and was on the verge of being lethargic. ;p [13:04] what is the best word processor for ubuntu? [13:05] gusey the one that you prefer. no "best" - it's a subjective choice. [13:05] @gusey i'm fine with libre [13:05] Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security [13:05] !best [13:05] can anybody help? tell me what do you need to know? [13:06] cfhowlett factoid gone too :( [13:06] llutz yeah, that last spring-cleaning wiped out some good ones. [13:08] aeterne tell me your main objective, do u want to recover your file or smthing? [13:08] Guys, please, does anybody know anything about wi-fi connection and how can it not detect the right wifi security? [13:09] Aeterne: well if you cant get into unity you can always install one of a dozen other window managers if you can get connected to the net and use the package manager http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available [13:09] Question: Can anyone explain me how to properly restart networking without system reboot on Ubuntu Server 14.04? [13:10] Aeterne: i personally use gnome-session-flashback (gnome classic) [13:10] I still can't get to connected to the internet. The ethernet driver is weird, sadly, and wirelss has insufficient privileges. [13:10] edit and change the settings? === davide is now known as ddddavidee [13:10] Aeterne: should be able to on liveusb ? [13:10] I'll have to reinstall and be done with it, I think. I simply have too much exam stress weighing on me in order to give me the patience I need to resolve it. [13:10] Sadly, I haven't been able to, no. :( [13:11] Aeterne: well in that case make an offline copy of files just in case :) [13:11] I changed settings in/etc/network/interfaces and then ran sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart but no luck [13:11] vlad_starkov: sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a [13:12] Aeterne: im sure you can boot a usb stick in live usb, mount the partition, grab the files ..... [13:12] Aeterne: at worst [13:12] for newer ubuntu versions you should use: sudo service networking start/stop/restart [13:12] +1 to dw [13:12] llutz: ok then, should I actually run "/etc/init.d/networking restart"? [13:12] subz3r0: networking restart is deprecated since ages [13:12] Yeah, dw1. :) I'm safe in that regard. [13:13] Aeterne: its really just a missing package or 2 but with no inet cant really fix it [13:13] Aeterne: though i dont see how a new install will be different than liveusb [13:13] Aeterne: as far as internet is concerned [13:13] vlad_starkov: tbh there is no clean way for ifupdown anymore. either use ifdown/ifup -a or just the ifaces you changed [13:14] vlad_starkov: sudo ifdown ethX && sudo ifup ethX like this [13:14] llutz: if I changed network bridges config? [13:15] I have a system with two HDDs. Is it better to go with installing Ubuntu on a partition on my second HDDwhich doesn't have Windows, or install on my first HDD (which has Windows and a recovery partition)? [13:16] auscompgeek install OS to one HDD and save all data to the other would be my choice [13:17] auscompgeek, I use my 2nd hdd for linux , works well [13:17] Aeterne: the other option is copy package files to a usb stick from a computer with internet....... [13:17] Aeterne: but id try to fix the net === Relsak is now known as Guest85674 [13:18] llutz: ok thanks [13:19] pm me anyone that can help me, I am stuck at initramfs prompt. Read all the forum posts, nothing helped me [13:20] juwper: we do not PM here, help is asked for and given in-channel so that everyone can comment or benefit [13:20] ok, so anyone can help me with this? [13:20] juwper: you're going to need to detail what happened to lead to this point before anyone knows where to start [13:21] i am totally newbie [13:21] tried to dual boot win8 and ubuntu 14.04 [13:21] didn't detect ubuntu [13:21] Thanks to everyone who joined in helping me out. :) It didn't work out, but I appreciate the effort. I think I'll be going with Awesome after reinstalling. [13:22] formatted, tried to install ubuntu only [13:22] now it is always stuck in initframts [13:22] cfhowlett: right, that's what I'd prefer. although, ubiquity wants to go the other way, which leaves me to question [13:22] tried boot rescue, etc, nothing worked [13:22] juwper, use legacy mode in the uefi/bios [13:23] Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security [13:23] how is that? [13:23] can anybody help? tell me what do you need to know? [13:23] opened my bios lots of times, but has no configuration to do a few things i read at the foruns [13:24] juwper, look for legacy mode in your boot sequence section [13:24] KGM70: does that cause any problems with booting either windows or ubuntu (e.g. would I have to choose which device to boot from)? [13:25] my bios doens't have that [13:25] Hello [13:26] hi [13:26] Exploit has Left #ubuntu () [13:26] hows you all [13:26] KGM70, is there any diferrent way to enter bios appart from pressing f2 at the start? [13:26] Exploit (exploited@staff.foxatomic.net) has Joined #ubuntu [13:26] auscompgeek, not a problem if you update grub in linux , then your windows install should be listed when you boot [13:26] ciao [13:28] juwper, if you enter bios with f2 then that's the correct key for your machine [13:29] juwper, what's your computer model ? [13:29] KGM70, Toshiba L500 5years old now [13:30] http://chat.ubuntu-it.org/#ubuntu-it [13:31] juwper, ok then you probly don't have uefi , should have asked earlier... try holding down the left shift key right after the bios screen to bring up grub [13:31] KGM70: I see. I think I'll resize my Windows partition though; I don't have as much space left on my 2nd hdd. === SPeedYdr is now known as SPeedY [13:32] KGM70, i am switching to nickname juwper2 because I am using the Toshiba L500 with live CD, please reply to that nick, ok? thanks, will do what you are telling me and post there what happened === SPeedY is now known as SPeedYdr [13:32] KGM70: any compelling reason as to why installing on 2nd hdd would be better though? [13:32] auscompgeek, it doesn't matter which hdd you use, as long as the OSs are onm separate drives [13:33] @KGM edit: separate partition [13:33] KGM70: drives or partitions? :) [13:33] the right one is the partition [13:34] KGM70, entered GRUB [13:34] I'm sticking with your original questio auscompgeek , you can have windowes and linux on separate partitions on the same drive , if you want there's no rule against it [13:35] any sed gurus here? [13:35] juwper2, ok , is windows listed ? [13:35] no, i installed ubuntu only [13:35] I understand that, but I'm asking whether there's a good reason why having them on separate drives [13:36] entered gpart, put my hdd into only one partition and installed a fresh ubuntu [13:36] juwper2, ok , so does ubuntu boot ? [13:37] i'd rather install in different hdd if i need to resize my windows partition, since i may ruin the content [13:37] no, stays blank screen for a while and goes into initramfs after that [13:37] if there's empty partition then i'll mess eith that [13:38] *with [13:39] auscompgeek, i find it more convenient to have separate drives for different installs [13:40] auscompgeek, if one drive fails the computer can still be booted albeit with a boot cd, but it will still run [13:40] KGM70, says: Gave up waiting for root device and gives an alert: /dev/disk/by-uuid/d44835e1-0da7-4888-9865-fbb1cdead46d dos not exist. and goes to initramfs [13:42] Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security. Can anybody help me, please? [13:42] juwper2, do you see grub at all ? [13:42] yes, i see grub [13:43] now i don't [13:43] i see command line only [13:43] with initramfs [13:43] juwper2, then choose the recovery kernel and choose repair option in the dialog [13:45] KGM70, i have Ubuntu; Advanced options for Ubuntu; Memory test; Memory test (serial console), which should I choose? [13:46] did clean install of ubuntu 14.04 laptop booted to desktop and then mouse froze had to do hard restart and froze again??

Does anyone know if unbuntustudio's kernel is optimized for video editing? I'm currently comparing ubuntustudio 14 xfce and Linux Mint 16 xfce, but see no difference when using openshot or kdenlive with HD-videos. [17:43] Crashed trying to write to a USB drive just now from Ubuntu. [17:43] Just got back. [17:44] ubuntu-studio: What do you expect to see then, actually? [17:44] The utility was taking 100% of cpu from 2 of four last point I was able to see. [17:44] ubuntu-studio, it comes with lowlatency kernel === MarkPotter|Drunk is now known as Mark-Potter [17:44] It said not enough space, but was also trying to erase the USB drive. [17:44] I watched the cpu-amount in top. Expected it to be less in ubuntustudio [17:44] xeno_: And? === guha is now known as werl [17:44] so it can be much better to use normal ubuntu with high threwoutput [17:44] ubuntu-studio: Because? [17:45] It kept slowing down until about 5 minutes ago it froze up and I had to turn off the machine to get access back. [17:45] bekks: because of low latency kernel [17:45] lol [17:45] ubuntu-studio, you know nothing about low latency and for what it used. [17:46] loa: that's correct [17:46] I have standard Ubuntu installed. [17:46] ubuntu-studio: You can easily install a low-latency kernel in Ubuntu. [17:46] ubuntu-studio: Check wether the low latency kernel is in use, actually. [17:46] 13.10 [17:47] loa: so there's no benefit for me to install ubuntustudio? [17:47] ubuntu-studio, simply it helps to create more responsible system, for example for musicians. [17:47] ubuntu-studio: No, no benefit. [17:47] ubuntu-studio, looks like no. [17:47] ubuntu-studio: Unless you are doing real time editing, like musicians, you will have no benefit at all. [17:48] i used little ubuntustudio and i like that they installed default software. [17:48] bekks: hmm, so low latency has no effect on HD-video? [17:48] default for musicians * [17:48] ubuntu-studio, it has) [17:48] ubuntu-studio: Correct. No Effect at all. [17:48] it slowing things down [17:48] loa: :P [17:49] ubuntu-studio: It lowers latency for the sake of increased context switches for long running aplications - like video editing. [17:50] I can't open local swf file with chromium in ubuntu 14.04 . any fix for that? [17:51] bekks: I like the cinnamon-desktop. So is it better for me to use ubuntustudio with cinnamon? Or to use Linux Mint with cinnamon? [17:51] where in the file system is the trash bin located on ubuntu? [17:51] ubuntu-studio: "Better" is a personal choice. Mint isnt supported in here. [17:51] !trash | red45923 [17:51] red45923: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [17:52] what? support is beside the point [17:52] thanks bazhang [17:53] bekks: Ok, but if HD-editing won't be better with ubuntustudio. So usual ubuntu will do the same? [17:53] ubuntu-studio, when you are into multi-media, mint if you want a leaner desktop [17:53] ubuntu-studio: Correct. [17:53] how i can create multi line notifications? [17:53] Squarepy: You dont need mint for a "leaner" desktop. [17:54] it will be cool if there will html support too. [17:54] bekks and Squarepy: thank you [17:54] for example for ability to play sounds. [17:54] want to create notification about provider balance. [17:55] loa: notify-send "Subject" "This is line one\nThis is line two\nLine three..." [17:55] bekks: cinnamon will work on ubuntu as well I think [17:55] ubuntu-studio: Yes. So no need for anything else but Ubuntu. [17:55] loa, this page may be a help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD [17:55] I can't open local swf file with chromium in ubuntu 14.04 . any fix for that? [17:55] ubuntu-studio, cinnamon is out of our repos [17:55] OerHeks: why is that? [17:55] how i like support here. [17:56] !info cinnamon [17:56] Package cinnamon does not exist in trusty [17:56] Ah, it vanished in trusty. [17:56] ubuntu-studio, as it is removes, glad it is.

On other distros, I had to have javajdk6 or 7. But I can't find it in the synaptic package. What should I do? [17:59] kat_: JDK6 is EOL basically. [17:59] I mean, to open minecraft, you have to open it with java [17:59] !java | kat_ [17:59] kat_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [18:00] o.k. I'm writing this downl.

[18:25] then, it sets root to be owned by user/group user [18:25] which is usually drwx------ 11 root root 4.0K May 11 02:00 root [18:25] so hopefully there's a really good reason for this... === samuncle is now known as Guest75047 [18:26] rp123: There is a context problem here.

[18:27] awktion, actually 777 will set perms as -rwxrwxrwx [18:28] and 777 is quite always a bad idea.

[18:33] put it on pastebin.com [18:33] pakair: i posted that, its NOT 777. it's what a root directory defaults to - only readable by root [18:33] there's one more line in the permissions, that's for attributes [18:34] awktion, ok got it [18:34] setuid/setgid/sticky [18:34] I lost the connection... [18:34] sudo didn't worked too.. [18:34] hallo [18:35] sam__, you call gnash useless and still expect help from the community?

[18:57] Good evening to everyone [18:58] !uefi | Guest47615 [18:58] Guest47615: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [18:58] i don't rremember exact words. maybe. [18:58] alternatively, this looks doable http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219391&p=13002067#post13002067 [18:58] I have gotten a hold of a server running Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit server and would love to get some X support on it so I can access a GUI from home to there. Running myself 13.10 64-bit. Just installed Fluxbox on that server. [18:59] DrGrov: you need the desktop kernel + ubuntu-desktop [18:59] Guest47615, Please use an unusual nick so we can tab complete it when answering you, and use nicks when conversing. [18:59] the rest should be pulled in [18:59] thanks. will browse the link. brb. [18:59] On 14.04, there is no desktop/server kernel anymore. There is a generic kernel. [18:59] Ok :) [19:00] The reason I chose to get Fluxbox for that server is because it has a limited RAM of 512MB. [19:00] DrGrov: you should not run any desktop on a server :) [19:00] bekks: But I want to :) [19:00] DrGrov: Then get more RAM :) [19:00] Luckily this is just a test server on which I have a 7 days trial before deciding if I want it or not === juro is now known as Guest39741 [19:01] bekks: But surely I can get fluxbox to run with 512MB? [19:01] DrGrov: The desktop environment isnt the problem. the graphical applications you want to run are. === Guest39741 is now known as DEPECHE_101 [19:02] bekks: Ok, so I can skip the fluxbox or any other GUI as an idea completely or just get more RAM? [19:02] But I really do not want to run anything heavy on there. [19:02] hi, in /etc/networks/interfaces, which is the exact syntax to specify TWO dns nameservers? [19:02] DrGrov: Just skip the idea of a GUI on a server. [19:02] dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 ????? [19:02] Just a simple yet effective web browser with text, a bit of text editing and such [19:02] DrGrov, you could install vnc on that server [19:02] uskerine: without the , [19:02] dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 [19:02] ? [19:03] uskerine: yes. [19:03] pakair: That being plain vnc or vnc-followed-by-something? [19:03] uskerine, that's google DNS [19:03] bekks: So, I can not get anything done without more RAM then it seems? :( [19:03] i know, i use one of them as backup [19:03] thanks [19:03] DrGrov, search for the vnc package how it is used. I dont remember the latest version. [19:03] DrGrov: Correct. [19:04] pakair: Ok, I just install everything I find then :) [19:05] So guys, the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/458334 post in the usb install article got me past my problem.

[19:05] DrGrov, try apt-cache search vnc ... there are plenty, choose one you like [19:05] Why would you use Google DNS :3 [19:05] Maybe they log the addresses [19:05] and they are gonna threathen you with it [19:05] >:) [19:07] Now I found something [19:07] RDP [19:09] hi :) is there a guide for fixing screen resolution problems?

I have a hard drive with ubuntu install from a diffrent computer ... I have put the ubuntu hard drive in with the computer running win7 ... i would like to dual boot it .. but im not sure the safest way to do this ... should i change the sata cables makeing the ubuntu hard drive the first bootable then update grub to include the windows drive or do it some other way ?

[19:11] Beldar, one more thing ... can you move ubuntu build between diffrent builds of computers ... like moveing from dell o755 to something compleatly diffrent like hp something like 5700 [19:12] Beldar | yeah, i cannot boot from cd/dvd or usb when it's set to uefi. [19:12] jgcampbell300, We will see huh, probably will not be a problem, other than graphic drivers maybe. [19:12] xeonid, it should be 1440x900, but now it is 640x480 [19:12] cool thanks much im out to test ... thanks again [19:13] be right back. [19:13] semitones: http://askubuntu.com/questions/189246/how-set-my-monitor-resolution [19:13] Guest47615, So the general consensus is to resize windows in windows with it's partitioner leaving a unallocated for ubuntu. Also imaging/cloning W8 off the HD to be fully prepared for anything. [19:14] xeonid, thanks! I found something similar to this, but with no explanantion -- this one is explaining better, so I'll try it and see how it goes [19:14] Argh, I give up [19:15] bekks: You were right, as always. It is too tedious to fiddle around with trying to get a GUI on this server :) [19:15] DrGrov: ;) [19:16] bekks: But I will be back later and check up and see what is going on.

[20:08] Armag3dd0n1, act, incident, one command [20:08] Armag3dd0n1: you can delete all hidden files and folders in home [20:09] heh except that one [20:09] Armag3dd0n1: then log in, you will get default settings for apps [20:09] ActionParsnip, what is that telling me? [20:09] really? [20:09] you could just create a new user [20:09] what about the start, will everything be there? [20:09] angels: what did you run to make that output? [20:09] can you speak spanish [20:09] angels: not in here no [20:10] ezakimak: gives packages you can install. I believe the s3 driver is installed by default [20:10] all I know is that xserver-org-video-s3 doesn't support the card, the package my card needs is xserver-xorg-video-s3virge [20:10] angels: try #ubuntu-es [20:10] that's according to apt-cache show output [20:10] ezakimak: clearly you're joking, such an old card is a waste of time and effort [20:11] Aeterne: you shouldn't need to do that, if you are using unity-greeter just click the ubuntu icon next to your name and select a different session, it will remember [20:11] well, i'm on the phone w/my dad, he's installing this machine, I"m logged in remotely trying to get his X working for him, and that's the card he put ini t [20:11] the S3 Virge had 2MB RAM and didn't support higher than 800x600 in colour === sun is now known as Guest19818 [20:11] Thank you, trism. I will try that! [20:11] the card he has does [20:11] ezakimak: ubuntu is not going to work on that old hardware. perhaps you have the model wrong [20:12] ezakimak: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/xserver-xorg-video-s3 [20:12] ezakimak: the s3 package runs s3virge too [20:12] ezakimak: if you run: sudo lshw -C display ,what driver module is loaded? [20:13] then why does apt-cache show say it doesn't? [20:13] and there is no s3virge module installed, only s3 [20:13] X tries to find s3virge module and fails [20:14] ezakimak: what driver module is loaded for the display? [20:14] Oh god, Ubuntu makes it *this* effortless? That's so cool, and I say that as an Arch user. :P [20:14] when he tried it, it was in vga mode--1024x768 [20:15] the X log shows it looking for s3virge and failing [20:16] In Ubuntu 14.04, when I set the microphone to use Rear Microphone Built in Audio, and close the dialog, when I return, the audio is reset to Digital input s/Pdif. Is there a way to make the mirophone stay set correctly? [20:16] Aeterne: Arch is dead easy to install and use. [20:17] It's linux, only slight differences in the end [20:17] it's got i915 loaded [20:18] err the kernel is anyway [20:18] ezakimak: isnt that for Intel GPUs? [20:18] but the builtin intel video doesn't work anymore, thus he put in the discrete card [20:22] Is there a way to search filesystem for all files of certain type (e.g. shell, executable)? [20:22] so is there any way to get the s3virge driver installed? [20:22] skinux, find [20:22] AFAIK that only searches for specific text within files [20:22] no, it does not. [20:23] anyone know how I can connect to remote desktop from osx to ubuntu 14 -- ? [20:23] Can you give me an example for searching for all shell files? [20:24] Skinux: sudo updatedb; locate searchword [20:25] find / -iname '*.sh' [20:25] skinux: find -name '*.sh' [20:25] Drfoo: what are you wanting to do in Ubuntu using remote desktop? There may be a sleeker solution [20:25] er, mine is only under the current directory, ezakimak is right to search the whole computer [20:25] also it's worth mentioning .sh isn't the only shell extension... [20:25] skinux: Another way to do it is find / | grep ".sh" [20:26] Ademan: Yes, that's simple. I mean for shell files that do not have .sh extension === gast is now known as Guest12999 [20:26] skinux: grep the first line for the shebang you want? [20:26] drfoo: you are probably hitting bug 1281250 [20:26] bug 1281250 in vino (Ubuntu Trusty) "VNC accessible from non-linux machines only with encryption disabled" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1281250 [20:27] Ademan: or use the file command on each file to find them [20:27] ActionParsnip: that's a far better idea, good point [20:27] or find / -executable [20:28] ezakimak: that'll give you false positives of binary executables won't it? [20:28] might be a good optimization though [20:28] depends what you are looking for [20:28] ezakimak: Which will find a) all executables, not just bash scripts and b) not all scripts are executable [20:28] find / -executable -a -iname '*.sh' [20:28] find / -executable -o -iname '*.sh' [20:29] ezakimak: using .sh as file extension for scripts is a bad habit. [20:29] skinux: what are you trying to do exactly? [20:29] ezakimak: in Linux the file extension is moot. Shell scripts dont have to have an extension [20:29] i know that. [20:29] ezakimak: so why look for *.sh when it could miss files which are shell scripts without the extension [20:29] ezakimak: it makes no sense [20:30] you could try something like find / -exec 'head -n 1 {}\;' | grep '#/bin/bash' [20:30] it's worth mentioning that `file $f` reports different things depending on if it's shebang line names /bin/bash or /bin/sh [20:30] file may be the better test [20:30] find, exec, head, grep - you will win the competition for one of the slowest solutions :) [20:30] find / -exec 'find {}\;' | grep -i 'script' [20:31] hrm, it reports the same mime type with --mime-type though [20:31] or 'ascii text' [20:31] It would be so good if programmers could fix these things where you spend 99% of your time on the point in your install where it says 99% done. [20:31] ezakimak: open every file read first line and check if #!/bin/sh [20:31] text/x-shellscript for both /bin/bash and /bin/sh [20:31] bekks: shouldnt be too slow on even old ish hardware [20:31] but it take more cpu time [20:31] anywhoo, does anyone know how to install s3virge driver on trusty? [20:31] <_spm_Draget> Which is the default grub package for 14.04? 'grub' or 'grub2'? [20:31] xeonid: in an age of quad core, im sure we have a few spare cycles [20:32] _spm_Draget: grub2 [20:32] <_spm_Draget> And the netinstaller was what I was looking for - with the expert commandline mode. [20:32] <_spm_Draget> Thanks [20:32] The present program in question being Startup disk creator. [20:32] ActionParsnip: I dunno, I think it's likely I/O bound not CPU bound, reading a lot from disk [20:32] ActionParsnip: but you must open every existing file [20:32] ActionParsnip: you cen only exclude the kernel images /boot and vmlinuz [20:32] can* [20:32] xeonid: true but if you want accurate result you gotta take the hit [20:32] anyone in here used ftrace before? [20:34] ActionParsnip: the better way is to keep all your shell scripts in one directory [20:34] how do I install a package from lucid in trusty? [20:34] xeonid: well we actually have nfi what skinux is actually trying to accomplish... [20:35] xeonid: indeed. Hindsight is a wonderful thing [20:35] ezakimak: you dont. It might break your system. [20:35] okay, so back to my original question. how do Iget s3virge driver in trusty? [20:35] ezakimak: xorg-edgers maybe? [20:36] What I want to be able to do is simply detect the type of files (which don't have extensions) without trying to open each in a text editor. [20:36] ok, willing to try, how do I do that? [20:36] skinux: the "file" command almost certainly does what you want [20:36] skinux: file will do that [20:37] skinux: so try to write a script which exclude binary files , and only open every file without extension and check for first line [20:37] skinux: I ran "file bar" and it outputs this: bar: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable [20:37] skinux: eg. file ~/.bashrc [20:37] where bar is indeed a bash script that I wrote [20:39] ezakimak: Looks like your hardware is discontinued. Even xorg-edgers do not provide drivers anymore: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package_metas?exact_match=1&q=xserver-xorg-video-s3virge [20:39] Thanks. File command does fine, especially combined with grep [20:39] bekks, so no support for s3virge in trusty at all? [20:40] ezakimak: Exactly. [20:40] bummer [20:40] ezakimak: if you're very brave you might try building it yourself, surely the code is around [20:40] not sure if you need a kernel module AND xorg module, probably do [20:40] ezakimak: that hardware is more than a decade old - and it was low end even when it was current. [20:42] Hi all, on ubuntu, got 50 images in a folder, if there is a nice tool to quickly put them all into an index.html file I would be very :) [20:42] okay, that's the kind of answer I needed, thanks [20:43] red45923: PHP :> [20:43] red45923: ls *.jpg > ./filelist.txt [20:44] red45923: for example [20:44] will try ActionParsnip suggestion first [20:44] I am trying to teach myself a little bit about networking and I have a question to "ports". What if I wanted to forward a port within a machine? I always read about ssh forwarding with 2 machines, but how could I make that all port y traffic on a server e.g. will be handled by a service that listens on port x? [20:44] red45923: are you looking to have previews? or just a list? [20:45] red45923: you want only to put filenames or img [20:45] Wu117: you'd need a different port for each system on the router. [20:45] i want to stick em in an html page, preferably not manually, img src="pic.jpg' etc [20:46] i think that one or two loops will do this [20:46] red45923: so you want people to see the images? [20:46] in the html file? [20:46] yes [20:46] Wu117: if your router will only forward to the same port number on the internal system, you can change the SSH port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:46] red45923: I'd google "static image gallery generator" [20:46] Wu117: You want to forward from one port to another on local machine? [20:47] red45923: one of the top google results for that was "igal2" which is in the repositories, you might try that out [20:47] c00lbard: I want to forward incomming traffic on port 12345 to a service that listens on port 54321 on the same machine. [20:47] red45923: http://igal.trexler.at/igal2-sample/ this is a sample of what it can create apparently [20:48] so has anyone used ftrace? [20:48] thanks, gonna try ActionParsnip approach + vim first, see how much regexp i have forgot [20:48] Wu117: You could checkout ipvsadm and iptables [20:48] c00lbard: I don't know if I'm writing it too complex. Let's say for whatever reason a service doesn't run on the port I used before, but I told everybody that port, can I forward all traffic that comes to the old port? [20:49] Hello, everybody! [20:49] c00lbard: so this a thing what can be done? :) [20:50] How good is TV Tuner support in Ubuntu 14.04? I have an old computer hooked up to a TV, and I have an old TV tuner card I want to hook up for backing up VHS tapes [20:50] hyprvx: Depends on the chipset of that tuner card. [20:51] Is there a list of chipsets I can look up in, bekks? [20:51] (or just compatible cards) [20:51] hyprvx: You need to know the chipset you have. [20:52] is it possible to watch a movie across multiple displays with bezel correction? [20:52] bekks: Conexant Fusion 878A [20:52] Wu117: Yes, iptables can be used to create a forward rule [20:52] Wu117: Or prerouting rule [20:52] c00lbard: thanks! I will search for it! :) [20:53] hyprvx: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Conexant_Fusion_878A [20:53] Wu117: Something like this: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport $srcPortNumber -j REDIRECT --to-port $dstPortNumbe [20:53] done it, i made it in vim from starting with : ls *.jpg > ./filelist.txt plus some search/replace, php would have done it too i'm sure as well as igal i am sure, thanks all [20:54] c00lbard: oh, okay. I think I have some good keywords with iptables and prerouting now. Thank you! [20:54] Wu117: No problem :) [20:55] bekks: would the command just be pretty much "sudo apt-get install bttv"? [20:56] !info bttv [20:56] Package bttv does not exist in trusty [20:56] hyprvx: No. [20:56] HI everyone. New to user to ubuntu, and wondering if someone can help me get java to work? With best regards bobin [20:57] bobin__: do you mean the web plugin? [20:57] !java | bobin__ [20:57] bobin__: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [20:57] where would I acquire the bttv package? [20:57] hyprvx: Why do you want that package? [20:57] bobin__: webupd8 has a handy java ppa for Oracle Java [20:58] ActionParsnip: No, to be more specifik JAVA_HOME [20:59] bobin__: i believe the PPA sets that postinst [20:59] That's the driver package for Fusion 878A chipset tuner cards [20:59] I updated knotes, it said to migrate, now I have no notes. How can I get my notes back? ubuntu 12.04 [21:00] hyprvx: A package with that name never existed in Ubuntu at all: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bttv&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [21:00] hyprvx: So, as can be seen, your assumption is wrong. [21:01] ActionParsnip: Have googled and try many things i have open jdk installed but when i type ./javafile i get java_home not set [21:01] bobin__: what is the output of: java -version [21:02] alright, how do I obtain/install a driver module? or is this in the linux base? http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bttv [21:02] hyprvx: You have to read that article, too. [21:02] java version "1.7.0_55" [21:02] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.7) (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1~0.13.10.1) [21:02] OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode) [21:02] hyprvx: if you run: dmesg | grep -i bttv ,do you see the module detected etc [21:03] bobin: thats the open java. [21:03] ActionParsnip: No. Its the JDK 7 from Oracle. [21:03] bobin: ok, run: java ./javafile ,does it run [21:03] ActionParsnip: 1.7.0_55 [21:03] ActionParsnip: Isnt it? [21:03] bekks: openjdk isnt Oracle dude [21:04] hello huys [21:04] guys* [21:04] having a problem with wine on ubuntu 14.04 64 [21:05] ActionParsnip: getting this Error: Could not find or load main class [21:05] i'm trying to run a rendering engine and i am getting a GLU32.dll load error [21:05] bobin: id try Oracle java. May help [21:05] anyone can recommend IDE for PHP with support control version support ? [21:05] anyone have a clue on how to solve it? there is no i386 install candidate for the 32 bit nvidia libs i need [21:05] nathaneltitane: is this in Wine? [21:05] yes [21:06] xeonid: eclipse [21:06] bekks: any other ? [21:06] nathaneltitane: did you check the wine appdb for compatibility? [21:06] xeonid: Thats my only recommendation. [21:06] bekks: thanks [21:08] ActionParsnip: ok. The program Flashtool I'm trying to run says i needs Java version must be 1.6 or 1.7, How will i found the right version, I have googled it and what i found are installed so === day is now known as day_ [21:09] my Ubuntu Frozen every time when Memory usage over 80% [21:09] metalbrick: memtest [21:10] could u be more specific ? [21:10] thx [21:10] run memtest (its an option on boot,m or dl memtest x86) [21:10] bobin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer [21:10] Hi [21:11] ActionParsnip: thanks [21:11] How enable notification on sound change ? [21:11] ActionParsnip: well that is the least bit of an error as i get, if i switch to the 64 bit version of that package, it gives me a whooooooooooooooole lot more crap [21:11] metalbrick: hold SHIFT at boot, select Memtest86+ [21:11] ActionParsnip: it's a mtter of getting the glu32.dll to load [21:11] that will do all the job? [21:12] nathaneltitane: did you check the wine appdb? [21:12] just wait for the memtest finished? [21:12] metalbrick: if you see red, some or all of the RAM is bad [21:12] does not exist in it [21:13] anyone else have probs with netflix??? [21:13] nathaneltitane: ah then you are in uncharted waters. The guys in #winehq may be able to help [21:13] ActionParsnip: the window version I am trying to run has a linux native build, but i need to use the windows version as a renderer for another windows only app [21:13] I post a thread on askubuntu [21:13] http://askubuntu.com/questions/464529/ubuntu-frozen-every-time-when-memory-usage-over-80 [21:14] bonk3rzz: it doesnt work and the PPA is a seriously hacked version of winw to make Netflix work [21:14] <__raven_> 14.04 lts: networking problems similar to that: http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-internet-problem-in-ubuntu-14-04-after-upgrading-from-12-04-450806.html "waiting for network configuration" during boot - known solutions?

It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shoes: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it? [21:15] metalbrick: if there are RAM errors it will cause issues. You need to make sure its ok [21:15] OK [21:15] I'll do that first [21:16] i have had it workin via ppa tons of times but after frest install today its not working [21:16] kwheezy does not boot graphically later I had changed an driver option. It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shoes: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it? [21:17] yesterday it worked fine [21:17] bonk3rzz: contact the PPA maintainer to report the issue [21:17] lame [21:18] bonk3rzz: if netflix supported linux we wouldnt have the issue [21:18] bonk3rzz: so yes, netflix is lame [21:18] lol [21:18] ActionParsnip: Sorry the say I did not work [21:18] netflix rox windows is lame [21:19] bonk3rzz, confirmed, netflix changed something, just wait and see [21:19] Well, that was fun being in pain and then puking from dental work for a week. Glad I'm better now. I still need help finding a way to report whatever is causing my boot issues. [21:19] bonk3rzz: until they support linux you'll probably have issues. Weirdly though they are happy to support Android... [21:19] A lot of the times I boot into Ubuntu 14.04, the keyboard doesn't work at all. LEDs are all lit up, though. [21:19] witch is linux [21:20] And other times, it just hangs on bootup and never completes. [21:20] bonk3rzz: indeed [21:20] MikeRL: tried a different usb port? [21:20] By the way, I do have the splash disabled, so I get all the useful boot information. [21:20] ActionParsnip: Why USB port? [21:20] MikeRL: is it not a usb keyboard? [21:20] It's not a USB keyboard. It's a laptop. [21:21] An HP DV&-4285dx. [21:21] MikeRL: you never said that it was a laptop.... [21:21] Should have. Sorry. [21:21] btw how do you do the how at a person in hexchat like you did "bonk3rzz : indeed [21:21] !tab | bonk3rzz [21:21] bonk3rzz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

It highlights them for you too :-) === codeadi is now known as Guest30446 [21:22] MikeRL: have you tested your RAM?

[21:23] Does tabbing (Hexchat automatically uses a comma afterwards) work to highlight people, or must I use a colon? [21:24] ActionParsnip, is this message highlighted? [21:24] well thx anyway [21:24] <__raven_> 14.04 lts: networking problems similar to that: http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-internet-problem-in-ubuntu-14-04-after-upgrading-from-12-04-450806.html "waiting for network configuration" during boot - known solutions? [21:24] MikeRL: yes [21:24] MikeRL: mentioning the name of a person is called "a hilight". [21:24] kwheezy does not boot graphically later I had changed a driver option. It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shows: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it? [21:24] Good. So I see I don't have to use a colon. [21:25] ActionParsnip, I have tried a LiveCD. Could try one multiple times and see the boot success rate. [21:25] __raven: have you modified /etc/network/interfaces ? [21:25] ActionParsnip, but I have boot information shown, no splash. Anything I can upload? [21:26] MikeRL: could use imageshack etc if you take a picture with a camera [21:26] ActionParsnip, I've had this issue for many weeks, and I'd like to get a bug report out of it if I cannot fix it. Thanks for your help, but multiple users from this and other Linux-related IRC channels have tried to no avail to resolve my issues with booting. [21:26] ActionParsnip, How about any logs? Those may be better? [21:26] MikeRL: is the hdd ok? [21:27] MikeRL: could get the boot logs from the system in livecd [21:27] ActionParsnip, Don't know 100%. Any way I can find out from the boot logs> [21:27] ActionParsnip, Oops. Not good grammar on my end today. [21:27] ActionParsnip, how would I get those logs? [21:27] ActionParsnip, I'll write it down. [21:28] c'mon.. [21:28] MikeRL: mount the partition and look in var/log [21:28] ActionParsnip, Can I do that while in my install? It boots some of the time. [21:29] ActionParsnip, I'm typing from it now. [21:29] ActionParsnip, I can also check the hardware later if needed. [21:29] betty_: for debian ask in #debian :) [21:30] k1l: Ok.. [21:30] ActionParsnip, I can boot up normally - some of the time. Now I'm in Ubuntu 14.04, and I can easily pull up logs from there. Which ones are of interest?

[21:41] whats the difference between firewalld and ufs? I heared ufw don't allow zoning? [21:41] ridethespiral: sudo apt-get remove fglrx* [21:42] Looks like fvwm-crystal does nothing on Ubuntu server. [21:42] ridethespiral: but you'll have to have remounted your / as read/write before you can do that [21:42] . [21:42] daftykins: page says pick your model, model not there... you'll have to excuse me for asking which one will be more helpful. [21:42] <_blk> j #autotools [21:42] OK I'll look up the command [21:43] * randomjerk looks up rEFIt [21:43] lol - not maintained. [21:46] I am looking for an application that would prevent me from accessing certain applications over a pre-set time period. [21:46] Sweet I can get to the desktop now [21:46] SigmaOfPop: like an anti-drunk-dialing thing? [21:46] Bashing- u on? [21:47] well. more like a "Steam games are destroying my ability to do homework" sort of thing [21:47] that would be the second guess. [21:47] I normally create a second user for that stuff [21:48] keep the "restricted content" in just that users' homedir === __raven_ is now known as __raven [21:49] well. this is my own productivity [21:49] so fglrx fixes the error I get on boot, but I can't get past the ubuntu splash screen... http://tinyurl.com/mwdsch6 [21:49] Going through hell trying to make grub my bootloader. [21:49] <__raven> how to suggest if xubuntu is able to install to this or similar devices in case of secboot and boot- or flash process? "Aspire Switch 10" [21:49] Uninstall fglrx and I can get to desktop after that error.. [21:49] I have Ubuntu installed [21:50] SigmaOfPop: right - you can still have 2 users on the machine that are you... [21:50] but I can't seem to get it to boot withouth using boot menu [21:50] Any ideas? [21:50] Yeah, but everything is in my own user system, and it would be too easy to switch over. [21:50] I am looking, in essence, for a free linux version of netnanny [21:51] i'm sure there's a sub-reddit about being motivated to do homework, but suggesting reddit never helped anyone [21:52] SigmaOfPop check out elemetary [21:52] <_blk> SigmaOfPop, http://askubuntu.com/a/70277 [21:52] SigmaOfPop http://distrowatch.org/table.php?distribution=elementary [21:53] Thanks blk [21:53] because quite honestly [21:53] I don't want to have to install yet another distro just for productivity [21:54] Meh, came back to my PC after a 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade and grub's on its prompt [21:54] I tried update-grub / update-grub2 in a chroot, OSs are detected, but it still drops me into a prompt [21:54] any suggestions? [21:55] MohammadAG: errors? [21:55] none [21:56] is it a multi-boot setup? [21:56] no [21:56] for me [21:56] same problem [21:56] yes, for some (old, can't remember it) reason, it goes from Windows 7 boot screen selection -> GRUB [21:56] damn UEFI [21:57] I don't have/use UEFI [21:57] legacy? [21:57] it's a custom desktop from 4 years ago [21:57] anyone here ? [21:57] so yeah, legacy [21:58] well I'm going to try super-grub2 disc [21:58] see i I can repair [21:58] LAME [21:59] my laptop is overheating . its around 60 C i use 14.04, however it was good with 12.04 . Is there anyway i can downgrade to 12.04 without affecting my programs [21:59] vik123: no [22:00] else dowgrade my kernal [22:00] downgrade* [22:00] http://imgur.com/s4kuKh5 my files saved from dvr looks like that ... whys is this happing ? [22:00] hi [22:00] i use hybrid amd and intel graphics . that causes the problem [22:00] <_blk> vik123, the 12.04 kernel is probably too far back to work. [22:01] chicognu: maybe they're encrypted. === daek_ is now known as Daekdroom [22:01] _blk: yeah i know , but my laptop temp is around 60 C [22:01] Installed grub to MBR, that fixed it [22:01] <_blk> vik123, it's probably the AMD GPU producing the heat so you want to get that down (unless you have 100% cpu usage).. are you using the binary blob? [22:01] daftykins, i don't think so [22:01] Help please. [22:02] MikeRL: have you looked up your model of laptop + ubuntu? [22:02] _blk: binary blob , dont know about it [22:02] hMessengerey ppl, had a quick question. How do i get my Infinity Comcast to stream thru ubuntu14.04? i have tube working fine and have flash going. however when i go to my comcast site to stream movies it times out and just contun [22:02] to kep buffing [22:02] I had to use an acpi_call module to disable my discreet graphics because it was causing my laptop to overheat and shut off [22:02] daftykins, it is videos saved from the cameras sistem ... i can play all they [22:02] daftykins, it's a hpdv7-4285dx and Ubuntu 14.04. [22:02] <_blk> vik123, the fglrx driver from AMD (binary only) or the open source radeon driver [22:02] MikeRL: that's lovely but you didn't answer my question [22:03] i cannot seems to install linux with win 8, it's show free space when choosing partition for space. i'm currently running window 8 and i am trying for dual boot. i have disabled fastboot/startup and changed UEFI to CSM, Secure boot "Disabled" for USB boot but still having same partition issue for any linux distro. [22:03] daftykins, I can, but it worked for how many previous releases. [22:03] daftykins, and on 14.04 I have massive issues. I'll try Googling again, but I doubt I'll find the answer. [22:04] I have a question about an unusual thing. I'm trying to install libtinfo5 using dpkg on an amd64 system. I did use dpkg --add-architecture i386. [22:04] _blk: i use default open source driver , because AMD driver heats too much than this . However it was opposite case for 12.04. AMD driver worked like a charm in that . got around only 40 C [22:04] <_blk> vik123, while I don't have much experience with the non-open stuff, I think the catalyst driver has power savings options that the open source driver might not possess. So you could try installing the binary driver (there's plenty of documentation for that) and the use the catalyst control center to regulate the power consumption [22:04] libtinfo5 i386 [22:05] does anyone know why i cant get my infinty comcast to stream movies thru ubuntu14.04 [22:05] daftykins, I found similar questions related to Fedora. Nothing with an answer. [22:05] im trying to stream my comcast movies thru ubuntu 14.04 and cant seem to get it to stream.. you tube works fine.. [22:06] bekks: Hi, still there? [22:06] daftykins, I'vve had this issue for about a month. [22:07] _blk: i tried catalyst driver , i ran into problem , i was not able to get into GUI . However i used the old version of AMD driver which i downloaded 5 months ago . i will check with the new one [22:07] daftykins, Also I Googled and only got three pages of results. The most relevant thing was a bug I reported to other less serious keyboard issues. [22:07] MikeRL: seems like if you really need this thing working, you should go back to 12.04 [22:08] <_blk> vik123, I believe there's a way to install it from the ubuntu repositories [22:08] UbuntuBoy, as i understand right: xfinity Comcast content need silverlight, that is broken as of yesterday, netflix too. [22:08] daftykins, I can wait. I just want to find the cause and file a bug report. [22:08] right, i can't help with that [22:09] daftykins, It's messed up. Every non-LTS prior to 14.04 since 12.04 worked without major issues. [22:09] daftykins, Who can help? I need help. [22:09] i cannot seems to install linux with win 8, it's show free space when choosing partition for installation space. i'm currently running window 8 and i am trying for dual boot. i have disabled fastboot/startup and changed UEFI to CSM, Secure boot "Disabled" for USB boot but still having same partition issue for any linux distro. [22:10] _blk: u mean section 2.1 in this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [22:10] daftykins, Worth trying #ubuntu-bugs? [22:10] MikeRL: well, i can tell you right now that repeatedly asking in desperation isn't going to do anything but anger us [22:10] came because i have a broken boot loader, stayed to watch others ask [22:10] Okay, so now I have a fullyinstalled gnome-shell, and it just comes up a gray screen with no menus. [22:11] cancer: you can't install ubuntu in legacy mode beside an EFI installation of windows 8 [22:11] well you can but you'd have to keep changing mode to boot each [22:11] daftykins, I can find a log file and upload it. I'm only desperate because it's quite annoying. I know you guys are volunteers, but I have to file a bug report somehow. [22:11] _blk: should i follow section 2.1 or 3.2 . as its for hybrid graphics , which is my case [22:12] daftykins | it's my first time with EFI type don't know much about it. confused. :| [22:12] !efi | cancer [22:12] cancer: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:12] daftykins, I can try and calm down, but would it be best to try #ubuntu-bugs? [22:12] instead of asking me you could've gone in and asked by now. but you don't know what to file a bug against [22:13] daftykins, How do I find out what to file a bug against? That's part of the issue. [22:13] <_blk> vik123, looks like a good starting point [22:13] _blk: which one should i follow 2.1 or 3.2 [22:14] <_blk> vik123, I was thinking of using the "Additional drivers" (http://askubuntu.com/questions/301543/how-to-open-the-additional-drivers-window-using-command-line) but it may not cover your hybrid case.. [22:14] as mine is Hybrid graphics [22:14] <_blk> vik123, afaik Hybrid isn't really supported.. it's one or the other, and you need a reboot to switch [22:14] windows is installed in CSM mode as i remember, coz it's won't boot in other option. [22:15] daftykins, Would it be a safe assumption to say it's Xorg? [22:15] <_blk> vik123, but I'm definitely not an expert on that! So unless somebody else knows more about that, it's trial-and-error [22:15] MikeRL: no. i have to go now so please relax on the highlighting me [22:15] _blk: k thanks for this . i will try :) [22:15] OK, sure.

Unfortunately it requires some manual putting together (extra libraries) so it's a bit painful... I was hoping there was something as good, but with slightly less pain. [22:37] there can be solution somewhere [22:37] <_blk> agsel, what do you mean by "restore", undelete files (which isn't really a RAID problem), switch out a broken HDD - just pointing out the question specificity, I'm not sure I'll be able to help out [22:38] <_blk> apb1963, I think there's a proprietary adobe reader for linux that might have better support.. no idea if it was updated in recent years though [22:39] _blk: ok, thanks :) [22:39] <_blk> apb1963, yw [22:40] ok, rephrasing.

[23:50] yep [23:50] Perfect, go to your terminal, type "sudo nautilus" without quotes, that will open up your file manager with sudo and copy over anything thats important [23:50] Is there a way to move the close/max/min buttons to the right in 14.04? [23:51] When its moved over you may want to consider chown-ing the files.
