| Kuroshita | Seven_Six_Two, nah I'm just a regular Joe with an Ubuntu install, nothing more | 00:00 |
| kiorky | does someone have the kernel parameters to use with 14.04 ? , the ones contained in te iso do not work ... | 00:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Amy_Lu_Who, that's an important command. I can type that one faster than I can type my email address. | 00:00 |
| darkangel | Hey i was woundering does Ubuntu OS make your Hard Ware in ur desktop Last Longer? | 00:00 |
| kiorky | (on a gruB2 bootable usb stick) | 00:01 |
| zeeble | I used the default switches kiorky .. wouldn't know | 00:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Kuroshita, then no, it's open, so you can do with it as you please, within the terms of the licenses. | 00:01 |
| Bashing-om | kiorky: Do you not have ubuntu installed onto the hard disk of the machine ? | 00:01 |
| zeeble | darkangel: No. The only way h/w lasts longer is if your rig runs cooler. | 00:01 |

| darkangel | ok thx | 00:02 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | ok, well I am taking notes by the dozen so I will jot that down. | 00:02 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: no, for a bunch of new boxes, i was used to make an, usbstick with lot of bootable iso on iit | 00:02 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: having a stick == only one install is just dumb | 00:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | professor_soap, there should be a log for it in /var/log but I don't have cups (or a printer) (or another pc to test it with) so I am not sure | 00:02 |
| Kuroshita | Seven_Six_Two, awesome, that makes me feel a lot more comfortable about it | 00:02 |
| Beldar | fergal32, Couple questions, 1. is the computers hardware sufficient and do you know the graphic hardware. 2. Have you checked the sum of the download, and or tried to boot the usb on another computer? | 00:02 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: (like having backtrace, sysrescuecd, gentoo, ubuntu on the same usbstick, up to 12.04, this was easy to do with grub2.) | 00:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | biab >> phone call | 00:03 |
| Bashing-om | kiorky: I knew there was some changes to grub2 in 14.04, unaware of how it would affect booting the USBstick. | 00:04 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: pastebin.com/imUhkckh | 00:05 |
| Bashing-om | kiorky: looking at imUhkck ., | 00:06 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: the first entry is soemthing that starts my 14.04 iso but this is missing soemthing as the debian installer says 'no cdrom' | 00:06 |
| rypervenche | kiorky: I have the same thing set up. | 00:06 |

| daftykins | sudormrf: you *again*! | 00:08 |
| sudormrf | daftykins, yes, I am always around to learn new things :) | 00:09 |
| Bashing-om | kiorky: Sorry, I know that there have been changes in grub in 14.04, I have not to this time installed 14.04 and am not qualified to offer an opinion in this instance. | 00:09 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | great the "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" is done. do I go back to the Ubuntu software center and try WINE again or do I use the terminal? | 00:09 |
| kiorky | Bashing-om: well rypervenche may have a clue o hope | 00:10 |
| kiorky | *i hope | 00:10 |
| daftykins | sudormrf: that router IP is wrong, starting the range at 100 - 254 is curious and .1.2 for DNS is weird | 00:10 |
| Bashing-om | kiorky: I then am standing by also to "learn new things" ! | 00:12 |
| rypervenche | kiorky: This is what I use for 14.04: http://ryp.io/3m | 00:12 |
| kiorky | rypervenche: not for the server cd i think | 00:12 |
| HM06 | somehow I've managed to disable my unity plugin from ccsm in trusty, and now logging into my account just shows my wallpaper and nothing else | 00:12 |
| HM06 | any ideas? | 00:12 |
| kiorky | rypervenche: as this one do not have any casper folder in the iso | 00:12 |
| rypervenche | kiorky: Oh, sorry. Yeah I'm still having that problem with Debian. Let me figure that oneout. | 00:13 |
| nith1210 | HM06: Are you asking how to get unity back? | 00:13 |
| HM06 | nith1210: I am, yes | 00:13 |
| nith1210 | HM06: does CTRL+ALT+T bring up a terminal? | 00:14 |
| HM06 | nope | 00:14 |
| nith1210 | CTRL+ALT+F1; log in then type DISPLAY=:0 ccsm | 00:14 |
| kiorky | rypervenche: yep just verified, the desktop folder have a casper folder | 00:14 |
| HM06 | I can log into the root account and his desktop works fine though | 00:14 |
| Yelu | professor_soap, add your user to group lpadmin with sudo adduser <user> lpadmin (log out and log in again with that <user>). the logs live in /var/log/cups/... | 00:14 |
| kiorky | rypervenche: the server cd does not have this folder | 00:14 |
| nith1210 | HM06: CTRL+ALT+F1; log in then type DISPLAY=:0 ccsm | 00:14 |
| HM06 | I'm currently talking to you through irssi on tty6 | 00:15 |
| nith1210 | HM06: so open another TTY, set DISPLAY and run ccsm, then go back to tty7 to view it | 00:15 |
| professor_soap | Yelu: ok! Thx, will try that now. | 00:16 |
| HM06 | nith1210: alright, ccsm is open | 00:16 |
| nith1210 | HM06: look for Ubuntu Unity Plugin, click it and on the left hand side will be a checkbox "Enable Ubuntu Unity Plugin" | 00:17 |
| HM06 | nith1210: nith1210 it's already checked | 00:17 |
| professor_soap | Yelo: doesnt work | 00:18 |
| bluezone | Can someone explain a small piece of documentation to me? Control+F: 'ssh -C -D 1080 laptop' at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding is laptop the name of the computer? | 00:18 |
| professor_soap | Yelu: I have added the user | 00:18 |
| professor_soap | Yelu: logged out and logged in | 00:19 |
| nith1210 | HM06: Ok, ccsm isn't the issue. If you run "unity --replace" from the tty, does it show anything useful? | 00:19 |
| professor_soap | Yelu: im browsing into the CUPS web interface remotely from another machine | 00:19 |
| professor_soap | Yelu: CUPS asks for user and password but im unauthorized | 00:19 |
| nith1210 | HM06: also, why are you logging in as root? | 00:19 |
| HM06 | nith1210: because I wanted to check if it worked when my user account didn't | 00:20 |

| nith1210 | HM06: then cat unity.log | pastebinit | 00:23 |
| bluezone | Basically what i'm asking is, to use the method described in the documentation for Dynamic port fowarding with ssh, my localhost has to accept incoming connections on port 22 right? Bashing-om | 00:23 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | daftykins, I'm sure I'll be back for more tech support. :) thanks and goodbye | 00:24 |
| HM06 | nith1210: there's nothig starting with ERROR | 00:24 |
| Bashing-om | bluezone: port 22 is the standard port for ssh, yes ( but can be reassigned). | 00:25 |

| Amy_Lu_Who | i'm back. :/ now it wants to install a folder called "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 3000" i know c: does not exist. or I think it doesn't | 00:29 |
| Beldar | fergal32, This a dual boot, if so with what exactly, and has this ever been a computer with W8? | 00:29 |
| Anden | what's the command ubuntu runs behind the scenes when you click on a hard drive that is not yet mounted in the file browser? it's quite nice because it obviously automatically detects all the right switches to mount the device with. i'd love to use it in my scripts too | 00:30 |
| fergal32 | Beldar: yes, it has been a win 8 system but never mind. xubuntu boots fine | 00:30 |

| Bashing-om | bluezone: It has been ages since I set up ssh, I am not the best person to ask. But ya ssh into your target machine, not to the router, the router will forward to port 22 on the machine. | 00:38 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: You are sshing from where to where? | 00:39 |
| bluezone | nith1210, i suppose i am sshing to myself, i don't really understand. I'm trying to setup a dynamic port fowarding for SOCKS, one of the steps is something like this: ssh -vv -C -p9567 -D1080 bluezone-ubuntu | 00:40 |

| daftykins | Amy_Lu_Who: i have to sleep now, night \o | 00:41 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | daftykins, thank you once again. that was more about learning to install software than getting a silly old as heck game on here. :) now it is time to go shopping... | 00:42 |
| daftykins | Amy_Lu_Who: buy me something nice! | 00:42 |
| bluezone | daftykins, i'm not sure what you mean, so probably no :( I'm not an expert in this field, nith1210 i am sshing from my own machine right next to me and basically that is also bluezone-ubuntu | 00:43 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | hehe. i was thingk photoshpop pro, i have the hubby's cretit card... | 00:43 |
| bluezone | nith1210, i.e. the full command with the user is: bluezone@bluezone-ubuntu:~$ ssh -vv -C -p9567 -D1080 bluezone-ubuntu | 00:43 |
| bluezone | i was told to do this here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding Under 'dynamic port fowarding' | 00:44 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: the command isn't wrong, you're having a connection issue. | 00:44 |
| daftykins | Amy_Lu_Who: i wouldn't recommend buying windows programs and expecting them to run on ubuntu without first looking at the WINE compatibility database - but even then it's best to try out free native programs instead, check out 'The GIMP' for an image editing program | 00:44 |
| daftykins | anyway ta-ra \o | 00:44 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: but you're trying to ssh into yourself with that command | 00:45 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: I'd bet if you do "ssh -vv -C -p22 -D1080 bluezone-ubuntu" it might work. | 00:45 |
| bluezone | nith1210, so does that even require any port fowarding at all? | 00:45 |
| bluezone | hmm ok | 00:45 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: no, the dynamic port forward doesn't make sense through the machine you're already on. | 00:45 |
| bluezone | nope, ssh: connect to host bluezone-ubuntu port 22: Connection refused | 00:46 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: what port is sshd running on? | 00:46 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | daftykins, will do. i am still getting used to the transition. i have seen the light. thank you again and good night. | 00:46 |
| bluezone | nith1210, not installed | 00:47 |
| bluezone | i guess that's the problem | 00:48 |
| bluezone | the docs don't even mention anything about this though... | 00:48 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: what's the over-arching thing you're trying to do? | 00:48 |
| bluezone | nith1210, i'm trying to basically use tsocks for some applications to have them use my amazon aws console instead of my own network (directly) | 00:49 |
| bluezone | (not the console but my amazon instance :P) | 00:49 |

| lazarus_ | how do i boot an iso direct frm HDD using grub 2 | 00:50 |
| Yelu | bluezone, each machine you want to ssh in, must have a running sshd (sudo apt-get install openssh-server) listening to incoming connections | 00:50 |
| timh | I replaced an old nvidia card with a new one... I think I know how to fix the issue but I cannot even get to a terminal shell because 'nouveau' text scrolls down forever | 00:50 |

| timh | lazarus_: you want to use a live media like from a usb flash drive? | 00:51 |
| bluezone | Yelu, thanks for the explanation, i was just about to type that in question form hehe. Perhaps they should add this in the docs though! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding | 00:51 |
| bluezone | nith1210, yes | 00:51 |
| Brumble | in ubuntu 14 is it normal to have a fat32 partition /boot/efi? | 00:51 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: what port is it on? | 00:52 |
| bluezone | i believe it is on port 22 | 00:52 |
| Yelu | bluezone, and check your firewall for the ports you're using (22 or what you defined there) | 00:52 |

| nith1210 | bluezone: in the ssh command you want, you want to use ssh -vvC -p<port1> -D<port2> <host> | 00:54 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: <port1> is the port ssh is on. <port2> is the local port. <host> is the machine you want to push packets through | 00:55 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: Ya got Windows * and/or GPT partitioning, then yep you will see a /boot/efi partition. | 00:55 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: the local port has to be free and unused, 1080 is a good number for this. | 00:55 |
| Pencil_ | hello | 00:55 |
| Brumble | Well I don't have windows thats why it concerns me lol | 00:56 |
| bluezone | nith1210, this is like the local port fowarding section right? | 00:56 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: Then I recon ya got a disk that is partitioned in the GPT format. | 00:56 |
| bluezone | nith1210, is it the same as this? ssh -L 8080:www.ubuntuforums.org:80 <host> | 00:56 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: it's not the same as that, but similar | 00:57 |
| bluezone | hmm | 00:57 |
| Brumble | Thanks for the help :) | 00:57 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: put it like this | 00:57 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: -R <stuff> -L <stuff> and -D<port> can all be substituted in, you still need to ssh to the target computer | 00:58 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: One of the reasons we are here. Welcome. | 00:58 |
| Brumble | Google said gpt is for larger drives :) | 00:59 |
| Brumble | I have a 1tb drive that may be why | 00:59 |
| Pencil_ | My ubuntu has developed a new issue. I click on the home folder icon and now nothing happens. Does that sound familiar to anyone.? | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: Well, yes and no , GPT is the thing now to get around the 4 primary partition limits of the leagacy partitioning. | 01:00 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: -D<port> is basically the local_port in -L<local_port>:<target_host>:<target_port>; With dynamic port forwarding, the second two are constantly changing | 01:00 |
| bluezone | nith1210, the thing that bothers me about this method (if i understand it correctly that is) is that all application instances will be using the amazon instances (albeit it is easier) | 01:00 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: all the ones you run with tsocks, yes; not the rest. | 01:01 |
| bluezone | oh | 01:01 |
| Brumble | So I should not be concerned about ubuntu having a fat32 partition I take it :) | 01:01 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: unless you set it as your global proxying; then the game is a bit different. | 01:01 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: if all you want to do is browse, you can set up the proxy firefox's network settings | 01:01 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: yep, just what it takes to make the system work. small fat32 partition to hold the boot code. | 01:02 |
| bluezone | yeah that's not my goal though, i will try this method you suggested then, do i still need to have an ssh server running on my computer for it to work? | 01:02 |
| Brumble | Awesome you helped alot, it was bothering me I'm glad it's normal! | 01:02 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: no, you need the ssh server on the machine you want to proxy through | 01:03 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: and, just in case, tsocks doesn't work with java; though you can still use the proxy with java. | 01:03 |
| Bashing-om | Brumble: Hey great, .. things are changing, we got to adapt to them . UEFI is a great thing but it is different, efi is a good thing -> different. | 01:04 |
| Brumble | I bet ubuntu will run on more devices thanks to the efi being supported | 01:05 |

| bluezone | nith1210, the connection and everything seems to go through, but when i launch tsocks firefox ( as an example) my ip address has not changed | 01:16 |
| bluezone | i'm going to look into the configuration files for tsocks if i can find them | 01:16 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: firefox uses it's own proxy settings and has a funny way of launching. | 01:17 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: if you want to test with firefox, use the "network settings" in the preferences. | 01:17 |

| Bones | Hey guys, I have a question. I am still kind of new to Ubuntu, I have it installed on a Surface Pro, and I am using th typecover 2. I know the latest build works with the typecover 1, and I saw there was a bugtracker for the issue with the typecover 2. the bugtracker said the issue was resolved, and the last modification date was a month or so ago. so it it possible that issue hasnt been | 01:38 |
| Bones | added to the newest version of Ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| nith1210 | melt7777: Unless they've changed it, "dash" is the default shell, but either way it should work. | 01:38 |
| melt7777 | Oh, i didn't know that. but I did find the answer, https://gist.github.com/marioBonales/1637696 | 01:39 |
| melt7777 | got it on the 5th google attempt. :D | 01:39 |
| nith1210 | melt7777: great :). Welcome to a world of color. | 01:39 |
| melt7777 | it was valid, but i had to use ls --color=auto to display it. :) | 01:39 |
| melt7777 | dude i need the highest possible technology if i'm staring at xterms all day heheh | 01:40 |
| nith1210 | melt7777: I'd recommend rxvt-unicode if you're doing it all day. | 01:41 |
| nith1210 | melt7777: I find it cleaner and easier to look at once configured; though it takes a bunch of time to configure. | 01:41 |
| Pencil_ | I dbl click on the "Home Folder" icon in the side bar and nothing happens. My web icon and others are working. Where can I research this ? | 01:41 |
| Bones | Im going to post a link to a thread, they say that it was "patched" does that mean I have to patch it manually? or is it done automatically? | 01:42 |

| sudormrf_ | hey guys, I am looking at setting up a server as the primary DHCP and DNS server on my LAN. I have something setup already which I can surely copy the configs from, but I would like to understand what is actually happening in the config. | 01:43 |
| sudormrf_ | specifically information about ddns lines I see in the dhcpd.conf. I would think that ddclient would take care of this type of stuff, or am I incorrect? | 01:44 |
| melt7777 | sadly i instlaled all the same exact stuff and it's over a gig more in ubuntu :D | 01:44 |

| Bones | okay, so I found the patch file that fixes my issue. how do i apply the file to ubuntu? and does it have to be in diff format? | 01:50 |
| sudormrf_ | Bones, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/patch.1.html | 01:51 |
| Bones | thanks | 01:51 |
| sudormrf_ | Bones, typically patch -p1 < patchfile | 01:51 |
| Bones | so i am still new to this, I know i use terminal for that, but where does the file have to be located? | 01:52 |
| sudormrf_ | Bones, no worries about being new, we are all in some stage of learning. The location of the file shouldn't matter. | 01:53 |
| Bones | cool, ill attempt and report back | 01:53 |
| sudormrf_ | daftykins, AWAKEN :D | 01:54 |
| sudormrf_ | Hey guys, so I am trying to understand a few lines in this conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7455367/ specifically lines 1-9 and lines 25-28. This was pulled from my current setup, I modified certain things in the config to obfuscate the setup a bit, but nothing that would "break" anything. I could surely copy this config over to my new seutp, but I want to understand what is going on here. | 01:59 |
| sudormrf_ | as far as I understand it, on my current setup ddclient is not actually doing anything and dynamic dns is being handled by something else, but assuming I were to use ddclient on the new setup, would lines 1-7 be required? how about 25-28? | 02:00 |
| porten | if I wanted to require a list of packages required by my app that someone would instead of manually having to type apt-get for each, is there an easier more accepted way? should i just put the apt-get commands in a bash script or something? | 02:04 |
| robobenklein | How would I go about adding servers such as Java (Minecraft) as services? So as to start them and stop them accordingly with the uniform 'sudo service' commands. Ubuntu Server 14.04. | 02:06 |
| robobenklein | porten: Is your app also a package? | 02:06 |
| porten | no it's not, it's a binary | 02:06 |
| nith1210 | porten: why not just make a package? | 02:07 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, http://kosiara87.blogspot.com/2013/10/ubuntu-1204-create-simple-daemon.html | 02:08 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, you need to pop the item into init.d | 02:08 |
| porten | robobenklein: maybe that's what I was looking for, i was looking for stuff like "install package bundle" or something like that where i specify package and version and apt-get or dpkg would handle the rest | 02:09 |
| porten | robobenklein: like my binary depends on multiple packages | 02:09 |
| bluezone | nith1210, so fowarding to the SOCKS server seems to work with the browser settings but doesnt work if i just launch tsocks <any application here> perhaps i need to configure tsocks? Do you know where i can find the config file? | 02:10 |
| robobenklein | I would imagine simply adding a simple check for those dependencies, and if they don't have them present them with a dialouge allowing them to execute the apt-get install command. However I see adding dependencies to a package much simpler | 02:10 |
| nith1210 | bluezone: man tsocks.conf | 02:11 |
| robobenklein | sudormrf_: Thanks | 02:11 |
| zenNamaste | good morning all. The fonts is very tiny after a reboot in my laptop. I have really no idea about why. The font is tiny in both unity and my app(terminal, emacs, firefox...) here is the screenshot: http://imagebin.org/310544 | 02:11 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, https://gist.github.com/naholyr/4275302 there is an example | 02:11 |
| nith1210 | porten: google dh-make tutorials, it's what you really want. | 02:11 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, good luck :) | 02:11 |
| porten | nith1210: ok, great thanks | 02:13 |
| sudormrf_ | so is anyone around to help me out with my dhcpd question? :D | 02:13 |
| robobenklein | I'm game for helping | 02:14 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, hey guys, I am looking at setting up a server as the primary DHCP and DNS server on my LAN. I have something setup already which I can surely copy the configs from, but I would like to understand what is actually happening in the config. | 02:14 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, specifically information about ddns lines I see in the dhcpd.conf. I would think that ddclient would take care of this type of stuff, or am I incorrect? | 02:15 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, I am reading the man page for dhcpd.conf right now, I have answered my question about line 3, but the other lines are something I am still not sure about. Still reading the man page, though. | 02:15 |
| robobenklein | Heh, man pages, I should probably read those too, however I do so ever rarely. I have little experience with what your speaking about, but my gut tells me that the ddns lines in there tell the dchpd to interact with ddclient | 02:17 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, that is what I am thinking too. I just need to figure out why it is there and what not. Still reading :D. RTFM, should be the first step, but sadly it is often easier for us to just ask someone (I am certainly guilty of this myself). | 02:19 |
| robobenklein | sudormrf: Well assuming you're not in a production env, I'd take out those lines and see what happens, although you may break things it's a great way to learn | 02:20 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, what I am doing now is building out the setup in a VM, then I will just move those conf files over to a production machine once I have verified everything is up and running. I agree that is a good way to learn, but it can also generate more questions, specifically the *why* did removing x cause it to break? lel | 02:21 |
| robobenklein | Lol, send me a paste link and then maybe I'll have a better understanding | 02:22 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, of what? the config? | 02:22 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, it was above, but http://paste.ubuntu.com/7455367/ | 02:22 |
| sudormrf_ | just got to the section in the man page about the ddns entry | 02:24 |
| robobenklein | sudormrf_ Oh, those lines are in there most likely to provide domain name services, like to assign 'mycomputer.local' automagically, and to set the server name so when someone enters 'example.com' that server will take it before it gets to the internet | 02:25 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, good point. :). | 02:26 |

| Gerowen | Random question. I'm upgrading my mom's Ubuntu 13.10 laptop to 14.04, but her external doesn't have enough space to hold all her files and I don't feel like waiting 10 years for it to copy to mine. If I boot from my 14.04 USB stick, does it give me an option to "Upgrade" an existing installtion from the USB stick so I don't have to wait for it to download everything? | 02:29 |
| sudormrf_ | Gerowen, it should | 02:30 |
| robobenklein | sudormrf_ Clearly security encryption settings, likely for setting private and public keys | 02:30 |
| Gerowen | sudormrf_: That's what I thought, but I couldn't remember. | 02:30 |
| sudormrf_ | robobenklein, cool. poodoo. I have to go. | 02:30 |
| Gerowen | Just waiting on 13.10 to do a dist-upgrade before I do that. | 02:30 |
| Beldar | Gerowen, Let me get this straight, your going to upgrade your mother computer without backing it up when you have the space? | 02:31 |
| Beldar | Not upgrade that is* | 02:31 |
| robobenklein | Gerowen, what hardware are you on? | 02:31 |
| Gerowen | Beldar: She just has an HP laptop with a little external, she's got like 14 copies of everything in folders everywhere. I tried backing up the stuff stored locally but the drive got full. | 02:31 |
| Gerowen | So I'm just going to do an in place upgrade. Worst case scenario the upgrade fails and I just boot my live USB stick and use that to move all her local files to my SSH server before nuking it and starting over. | 02:32 |
| Beldar | Gerowen, It is easy to find copies, I would not do any if this without a backup or image/clone, it's common sense, and your best insurance. | 02:33 |
| === akim_ is now known as akim | ||
| Beldar | anyway that is me is all ;) | 02:33 |
| Gerowen | Beldar: Yeah, Clonezilla would probably run faster than a copy/paste anyway. | 02:33 |
| robobenklein | Gerowen: 13.* has had dist-upgrade problems for me, just a precaution from my past experience with upgrading on intel hardware. I'd recommend upgrading from the USB 14.04 not using the built-in upgrade | 02:34 |
| Beldar | Gerowen, yeah clonezilla is a good option. | 02:34 |
| Gerowen | roboenklein: I'm just doing that to pull all the available updates for 13.10 prior to upgrading, not to do the upgrade. | 02:34 |
| robobenklein | Gerowen: Ah, ok | 02:35 |
| html | some reason vlc has not sound;even though it worked out of the box util a bit ago | 02:36 |
| html | how do i find out hte problem and fix it? | 02:37 |
| Beldar | html, Not much to work with. | 02:37 |

| html | robobenklein, youtube works but local stuff is a ,no go | 02:38 |
| matnel | I tried the documentation in http://askubuntu.com/questions/189566/input-signal-out-of-range-change-settings-to-1600-x-900 there without success | 02:38 |
| robobenklein | html: Which browser? | 02:38 |
| html | robobenklein, chrome | 02:38 |
| robobenklein | html: Go to your sound settings and be sure that you're using the correct device, as Chrome is a bit too smart for that | 02:39 |
| robobenklein | Then restart VLC | 02:39 |
| html | i do | 02:40 |
| Beldar | matnel, You were able to change the /etc/default/grub, if so how did you do it? | 02:40 |
| matnel | Beldar: trough the recovery mode | 02:41 |
| matnel | and yeah, I was able to do so :) | 02:41 |
| robobenklein | html: And you're sure that your local stuff has audio for it? VLC isn't muted individually? | 02:41 |
| matnel | Beldar: or, more exactly, saying that go to recovery mode and then in there resume normal boot | 02:41 |
| html | robobenklein, how do i find if vlc is muted? | 02:42 |
| Beldar | matnel, I figured that, from the desktop than. | 02:42 |
| robobenklein | html: In your sound setting there should be a applications tab | 02:42 |
| matnel | Beldar: server installation, so just sudo nanoed it | 02:43 |
| Beldar | matnel, Ah, cool, not sure where to go from here. | 02:44 |

| xangua | ramos: if you are using lucid you want to upgrade to 12.04 | 02:53 |
| ramos | xangua, I'm already running lucid | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | ramos: +1 ^^ | 02:54 |
| xangua | ramos: then you want to upgrade to precise 12.04¿ | 02:54 |
| matnel | ok... running the startx gave me an error: http://humanisti.fixme.fi/~matnel/temp/Xorg.0.log | 02:55 |
| rww | ramos: I'm about to go away from keyboard, but in short: edit /etc/apt/sources.list (and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ if medibuntu isn't in sources.list), and remove medibuntu and cdrom lines, then do apt-get update, then try upgrading again | 02:55 |
| Bashing-om | ramos: Release 10.04 is End-Of-Life, and is no longer supported on the desktop. | 02:55 |
| matnel | so, might this be related to the display settings issue? | 02:55 |
| rww | ramos: (the cdrom lines aren't useful, and medibuntu got shut down a while ago so those lines won't work) | 02:56 |
| ltxda | hi all | 02:56 |
| ramos | rww, ok gonna give this a shot, are you coming back? | 02:57 |
| rww | ramos: yep, probably about 30 minutes | 02:57 |
| ramos | rww, ok | 02:57 |
| rww | other people should be able to help with this in the meantime though, if they can get past the "hurr 10.04 is unsupported" | 02:57 |
| ramos | rww, I'm not running 10.04 | 02:58 |
| ramos | I am definitely running 12.04 | 02:58 |
| ramos | 3.2.0-61 to be exact | 02:58 |
| rww | ramos: okays. same advice either way :) | 02:58 |
| rww | just means those cdrom lines outstayed their welcome even more | 02:59 |
| Beldar | ramos, can you pastebin grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 02:59 |
| * rww afk | 02:59 | |
| ramos | Beldar, yes will do that right now | 02:59 |
| Beldar | ramos, Cool, it shows both sources.list just for refrence | 03:00 |
| ramos | Beldar, here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/7455536/ | 03:01 |
| ramos | Beldar, looking at the output I'm confused as all hell now! It appears as though I'm running lucid but I swear to you when I boot up, it says 12.04 | 03:03 |
| === Deihmos_ is now known as Deihmos | ||
| Beldar | ramos, You have a mixture of lucid and precise in both the sources.list and sources.list.d The question is how, if you can did this happen? | 03:04 |
| ramos | Beldar, I have no idea. I've always followed the protocol as far as upgrades | 03:06 |
| === ppetraki_ is now known as ppetraki | ||
| ramos | Beldar, I've never had this problem with a distro and I've been running ubuntu since version 5 | 03:07 |
| Beldar | ramos, Did you run a 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade, if so when, and how? | 03:07 |
| heman_ | is this a wrong channel to ask why my (disable the touchpad while typing) isnt working on ubuntu 12.04 (gnome) but work on debian? (kali) | 03:08 |
| ramos | Yeah I went from 10 to 12 a few years ago by simply doing the upgrade update | 03:08 |
| Beldar | ramos, You can open the sources.list and see if the lucid links are commented out with a #. This may be the case in both lists, if you are getting no update upgrade apt errors. | 03:10 |
| ramos | Beldar, how do I do that? | 03:11 |
| Beldar | ramos, We do see in your original posts calls to lucid however. To be honest this is beyond me in checking every possible problem you may have and feel like I have helped. | 03:12 |
| Beldar | ramos, Were you my friend and brought this to me, I would pull out what you need, make a installed list and save the repos and keys relevant and do a fresh install and reload all that. | 03:14 |
| Beldar | but I don't ever upgrade so I'm biased | 03:15 |
| xangua | ramos: you should be able to remove the lucid repository lines from Software Center-Edit menu-Sources | 03:17 |
| ramos | Beldar, sounds like you're saying I'm screwed! LOL | 03:17 |
| Beldar | ramos, Not really, just my limitations is all, and methods, there are people here who can help much more. ;) | 03:18 |
| squee_ | what is a good room for help? | 03:18 |
| ramos | xangua, ok how do I do that? | 03:18 |
| squee_ | this one I'd guess... | 03:19 |
| Vivek_ | Any pointers to how I could get grub installed on a uefi computer? I have a tried a few steps and not much success | 03:19 |
| Obi1 | my kernel is keep crashing | 03:19 |
| Beldar | Vivek_, you have a linux install? | 03:19 |
| * rww reappears | 03:20 | |
| Vivek_ | Beldar, I have a kubuntu installed but I can't have the bootloader installed | 03:20 |
| Vivek_ | I have windows 7 and hoping to have a dualboot in my office Dell laptop | 03:21 |
| Obi1 | Best way to upgrade to 14.04 my update manager do not see it | 03:21 |
| Beldar | Vivek_, This a former W8, now running W7 with uefi and gpt, dual booted with kubuntu? | 03:21 |
| Beldar | Obi1, What release are you using? | 03:22 |
| Obi1 | 12.04 | 03:22 |
| Vivek_ | nope.. it is a wi7 with uefi and gpt have kubuntu installed in a partition. not yet able to dual boot | 03:22 |
| Vivek_ | Beldar, ^ | 03:22 |
| Obi1 | but i have never seen that many time message you need to load kernel first | 03:22 |
| Obi1 | i run Linux going on 9 years | 03:23 |
| squee_ | So anyway. I don't know exactly what happened, but I was using Ubuntu 14.04 w/XFCE fine at night and the next day it only displayed a purple square in the corner when I booted up and I couldn't switch to a text terminal or launch in safe graphics mode... so I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a new partition. The most basic thing I'd like to know is how I can run software from the old partition (because I would like to export my LastPass vault, firefo | 03:23 |
| squee_ | x bookmarks, etc.). If anyone would like to take a crack at what may have updated and caused the issue to begin with, that would be extra excellent. | 03:23 |
| Beldar | Vivek_, Have you tried the bootrepair app, just running the bootinfo summary would be helpful. | 03:23 |
| ramos | xangua, you still in the room? | 03:23 |
| Vivek_ | nope.. can boot from my xubuntu usb and try the appt | 03:24 |
| Vivek_ | let me boot and come back | 03:24 |
| Vivek_ | Beldar, ^ | 03:24 |
| Obi1 | any idea why Kernel crashing any1 | 03:26 |
| xangua | ramos: I really can't say it simple than that, open software center-edit menu-sources and disable lucid repositories | 03:26 |
| meccooll | When I run fgl_glxgears on the monitor sitting off of GPU1 i get about 1500FPS but if i drag fgl_glxgears to the second monitor sitting of GPU2 FPS drop to about 300 | 03:26 |
| ramos | xangua, ok I'll give that a shot | 03:26 |
| bluezone | success! | 03:27 |
| squee_ | anyone? | 03:27 |
| Beldar | squee_, 12.10 is eol, you want to move stuff to it? | 03:28 |

| Beldar | vivek_, Have you rebooted yet? | 03:34 |

| BWestOz | I'm having difficulty installing 14.04 Desktop, getting stuck at the partition screen. It isn't offering me a default table. I'm not sure if it's seeing the drive. I've tried changing the drive settings (IDE, AHCI, RAID) in the BIOS. Doesn't seem to see it. Any suggestions appreciated) | 03:55 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, Can you open a terminal and run sudo parted -l and pastebin it | 03:56 |
| BWestOz | Beldar; thanks for responding. I'll try.... | 03:57 |
| BWestOz | How can I open a terminal that early druing install? | 04:00 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, If you are not seeing anything in the install (partition HD space) close it | 04:00 |
| Beldar | ctrl-alt-t BWestOz | 04:01 |
| BWestOz | Beldar, thanks, I'll try that | 04:02 |

| BWestOz | Beldar, is it necessary to take everything off the drive before installing? I wouldn't have thought so | 04:02 |

| BWestOz | Any ideas? | 04:12 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, My guess is a broken partition table. open gpafrted and see if it shows the HD as unallocated. | 04:12 |
| Beldar | gparted* | 04:12 |
| BWestOz | Beldar; the last thing on it was a trial of windows 8 | 04:14 |
| BWestOz | what's gpafrted? | 04:14 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, gparted | 04:14 |
| BWestOz | argh! | 04:15 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, What is on theere now in that ntfs partition? | 04:15 |
| BWestOz | win 8 trial | 04:15 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, not usable now right. what is your attachment to whats in that partition? | 04:16 |
| BWestOz | gparted shows most of the drive NTFS partition with 10 meg or so unallocated | 04:17 |
| BWestOz | I'm happy to wipe the lot. Should I just wipe it with gparted and reboot? | 04:17 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, Yeah wipe it with gparted, and you should be able to install, however a install to the HD from the gui where you chose something else should wipe it and install. | 04:18 |

| Phlow | umm, why is gksu not installed by default? | 04:23 |
| Beldar | BWestOz, Cool, just choose the whole HD install, unless you want to build partitions. Worst case here the HD may need a new partition table, which can be done in gparted. | 04:23 |

| blueingress | Hi, How can I upgrade my 13.04 to current 14.04 ? | 06:34 |
| Beldar | blueingress, going through 13.10 also a eol to 14.04 is the route. | 06:38 |
| salsero | blueingress: ingress the packages from 13.10 first and update to that version | 06:38 |
| Beldar | blueingress, My mistake 13.10 is supported till july. | 06:39 |
| sl33k_ | guys my dpkg has screwed up. jdk is broken in the repository. How do I fix it? | 06:41 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: what do you mean broken | 06:43 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: how bout sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-7-jre | 06:44 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: (14.04) | 06:44 |
| blueingress | Beldar salsero, I update package via apt-get updaste everyday, Is there any difference with updated 13.04 from 14.04? | 06:44 |
| dw1 | blueingress: apt-get update doesnt update packages, just package lists | 06:44 |
| dw1 | blueingress: you need apt-get upgrade or better apt-get dist-upgrade (see man apt-get) | 06:44 |
| dw1 | blueingress: 13.04 is no longer supported, so you should move on to 13.10 and 14.04 | 06:45 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: gives: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 06:45 |
| sl33k_ | do I fire that command? | 06:45 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: yep | 06:45 |
| kumar[at]pt | anyone used fail2ban with asterisk ? | 06:45 |
| dw1 | fail2ban without asterisk, yes | 06:46 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | sl33k_: it'd also help if you pastebinned the full output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 06:46 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: well, need to use with asterisk and it gives hell lot of trouble…works OK with ssh | 06:47 |
| somsip | kumar[at]pt: you're wanting to setup a new filter to check the asterisk log? | 06:47 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: i guess you just need to get the regexes right | 06:47 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: in new version i guess we do not need regexes ! | 06:48 |
| blueingress | dw1, Is there any shortcut to upgrade to 14.04 from 13.04? | 06:48 |
| kumar[at]pt | though not sure | 06:48 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: i see some default ones in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d so it should 'just work' if you point it at the log correctly | 06:49 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: and enable it | 06:49 |
| sl33k_ | dw1, Ben64: http://pastebin.com/ZkQxwHBm | 06:49 |
| somsip | kumar[at]pt: as F2B works significantly with regexes, it's unlikely to change that in the most recent version | 06:49 |
| dw1 | blueingress: just run what's offered.. | 06:49 |
| Ben64 | sl33k_: that is not what i asked for... "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 06:49 |
| dw1 | blueingress: set software-updater to 'notify of new versions' or whatever | 06:49 |
| blueingress | dw1, thanks let me check the software-updater. | 06:50 |
| waykool99 | in both ubuntu studio 12.04 and 14.04 LTS, when installing from ubuntu software center, why does a "deb conf" window keep flashing every few seconds and lasts about 1/4 second? | 06:50 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: already enabled | 06:51 |
| sl33k_ | Ben64: do you mean the full output? | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | sl33k_: yes... | 06:51 |
| kumar[at]pt | blueingress: trying to run just that comes bundeled..but no success…ssh works ok | 06:52 |
| salsero | sl33k_: disable your ppas and then do apt-get update then dist-upgrade | 06:52 |
| sl33k_ | Ben64: http://pastebin.com/BzqcUU0i | 06:52 |
| salsero | then you will set a slick system | 06:52 |
| kumar[at]pt | somsip: i mean the changes required to be done at the admin level | 06:53 |
| sl33k_ | salsero: How to disable ppa? | 06:53 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: you can run fail2ban-regex /path/to/asterisk.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/asterisk.conf to see matches | 06:53 |
| somsip | kumar[at]pt: you're not being clear about what you are trying to achieve | 06:53 |
| salsero | you can also remove that package sudo apt-get remove default-jre-headless | 06:53 |
| blueingress | kumar[at]pt dw1 I changed ubuntu software center notification to "any new ubuntu version", is it right? | 06:54 |
| salsero | i for myself dont have it installed | 06:54 |
| salsero | yes blueingress | 06:54 |
| dw1 | blueingress: yeah, but once you get up to 14.04 you could change it to "any new LTS version" | 06:54 |
| dw1 | blueingress: to avoid development releases | 06:55 |
| sl33k_ | salsero: same error. Saying unmet depedencies on remove command. | 06:55 |
| salsero | or any new version to keep with the latests versions of releases | 06:56 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: yes i can run that | 06:56 |
| sl33k_ | salsero: I am clueless. what caould I do? | 06:57 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: so there should be some matches, and possibly matches on a line starting with Failregex: which should mean its working | 06:57 |
| blueingress | dw1, So I have to wait , Or need to reboot to get the push update? | 06:57 |
| salsero | sl33k_: what does this do? sudo apt-get -f install | 06:57 |
| dw1 | blueingress: re-run software updater | 06:57 |
| salsero | blueingress: you need to reboot to apply the update | 06:57 |
| salsero | well, everything, some things you will get right away | 06:58 |
| sl33k_ | salsero, http://pastebin.com/NkWWVksR | 06:58 |
| blueingress | salsero, rebooting , I will be back soon | 06:58 |
| sl33k_ | for -f install | 06:59 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: yes f2b seems to be working ok…as i have tested it with ssh..failed attempts…all ok..seems some conf related issue with asterisk | 06:59 |

| rumpel | sl33k_, I'm interested in your interpretation of that message | 07:17 |
| waykool99 | are you talking about Ice Tea Java plugin for Firefox? | 07:18 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: please paste output of fail2ban-regex /var/log/messages /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/asterisk.conf | 07:18 |

| kumar[at]pt | dw1: https://pastee.org/kfrtf | 07:19 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: in your fail2ban.conf asterisk is set to /var/log/messages not /var/log/asterisk/messages ;) | 07:20 |
| rumpel | sl33k_, no. It wants to install a package, but there is already a package with that name but a different version. You need to upgrade that. | 07:20 |
| kumar[at]pt | https://pastee.org/qk4bh | 07:20 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: so change the entry in fail2ban.conf to /var/log/asterisk/messages | 07:21 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: then restart fail2ban | 07:21 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: and it should work | 07:22 |

| logicuk | im not skilled enough to upload files via cmd line and the terminal | 07:24 |
| sl33k_ | guys any solution to my problem? | 07:24 |
| salsero | logicuk: filezilla client | 07:24 |
| rumpel | sl33k_, being the admin always comes with some risk. Make backups. If you need to upgrade certain packages to install other stuff, you are already heading into experimental land. | 07:24 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: at this moment it is /var/log/messages..should i change to /var/log/asterisk/messages ? | 07:25 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: "Every .conf file can be overridden with a file named .local. The .conf file is read first, then .local" | 07:25 |
| alnassafi | liblber.so is part of ldap .. but where llberi comes from? | 07:25 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: so yeah, if you have jail.local, enable asterisk and check the log path there, otherwise in jail.conf | 07:26 |
| rumpel | logicuk, scp. And "sudo su" shows, that you don't actually know the meaning of "sudo" and/or "su" | 07:26 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||

| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| sl33k_ | rumpel: Is there anything to make the error go away? | 07:27 |
| rumpel | sl33k_, yes. Deinstall the conflicting package, install a package with the needed version (or higher) manually. | 07:27 |
| kumar[at]pt | dw1: fail2ban.conf do not have much conf to alter for my purpose..its all jail.conf i have to change | 07:27 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: yes | 07:28 |
| blueingress | salsero, no, lts is not necessary, I just want the new update. | 07:28 |
| salsero | blueingress: not possible | 07:28 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: so make sure asterisk is enabled and log target is correct in jail.conf | 07:28 |
| rumpel | sl33k_, the thing is that you might upgrade even more stuff to install the newer package. | 07:28 |
| Ben64 | blueingress: what are you trying to do? | 07:29 |
| dw1 | kumar[at]pt: then service fail2ban restart | 07:29 |
| dannyedwrds | Im trying to run the live CD of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and once it gets past the ubuntu boot screen all I get is a black screen nothing else | 07:29 |

| kumar[at]pt | yeah tried that..but no luck :( | 07:29 |
| blueingress | Ben64, leave 12.04 and go for 14.04 | 07:29 |

| waykool99 | danny, i have same black screen problem all the time. #1 cause is, too many powerful USB devices. Remedy: powered USB hub. Others: you need the correct graphics card drivers. | 07:52 |
| waykool99 | a Live cd/dvd run needs a restart after installing graphics drivers, which is impossible without installing the OS to hard drive. | 07:53 |
| dannyedwrds | waykool99: I don't have anything USB attached to my laptop I removed everything like that before I started it well the only thing that's connected is my 2 TB external HD which im bootin the live cd from because I don't have any USB drives or dvds | 07:53 |
| rww | sl33k_: and as far as your /actual/ problem goes, you appear to be halfway between lucid and precise, and you should probably be bothered by this, since lucid doesn't get security updates for desktop packages. | 07:54 |
| rww | sl33k_: but that sounds like Happy Fun Times and I am going to bed, so I'll leave that to someone else to figure out. | 07:54 |

| waykool99 | another cause of black screens, a weak power supply or possible failing power supply will do that too. | 07:56 |
| rww | sl33k_: you should probably fix that before you add another PPA and install packages we don't support from a hostile vendor | 07:56 |
| sl33k_ | rww I will be paging for help | 07:57 |
| dannyedwrds | waykool99: Any other ideas? | 07:57 |

| waykool99 | 10 bucks says somethings not letting something not get enough power, but i could be wrong. | 07:58 |
| sl33k_ | Guys I tried to upgrade to precise from lucid but that went haywire it seems. Some repository dependency issues. How do I fix the upgrade? Do I revert it? | 07:59 |
| owh | waykool99: What OS are you running that requires a restart to install graphics drivers on a LiveCD? I mean, why are you running a LiveCD that requires graphics drivers to do anything other than fixing an issue with the real OS, or installing it in the first place? | 07:59 |
| waykool99 | have 5 very, very old computers. 5-16 years old. | 07:59 |
| * owh is waiting for the punch-line. | 08:00 | |

| dw1 | sl33k_: are you sure you tried to upgrade to lucid? those commands you showed before werent release upgrade commands, just package upgrade | 08:02 |
| owh | dannyedwrds: An inbuilt USB hub can only produce so much juice. Adding an externally powered one will power the devices, reducing the load on the inbuilt hardware. | 08:02 |
| waykool99 | thank you danny. | 08:02 |
| dannyedwrds | owh: Roger I understand that what im asking is why when loading the live cd after the ubuntu boot screen my screen stays pitch black | 08:03 |

| dw1 | sl33k_: java1-runtime-headless java2-runtime-headless java5-runtime-headless java6-runtime-headless | 08:03 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: yes yesterday I tried. I then cancelled my upgrade. Got this instructions from one resident ubuntu expert here http://etherpad.osuosl.org/ahsan1 .I slept an my power went off. | 08:03 |
| owh | dannyedwrds: Likely because it's switched to a video mode that isn't supported by the card. You can add a boot parameter, nomodeset, which may assist. | 08:04 |
| waykool99 | but, beware of powered USB hubs that 'add' power to all USB ports. i fried 3 WD USB external drives that way. | 08:04 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: should have gone 12.04 -> 14.04 not to the unsupported versions | 08:04 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: yeah those are not release upgrade commands | 08:04 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: hmm but my naivete shows | 08:04 |
| Squall5668 | nevermind, neither does | 08:04 |
| === david is now known as Guest71627 | ||
| dw1 | sl33k_: ahh that was supposed to fix the canceled upgrade. i get it | 08:05 |
| magic | hello | 08:05 |
| sl33k_ | yes dw1 | 08:05 |
| dannyedwrds | owh: So I should put the boot peramiter nomodeset and then install proprietary graphic drivers? | 08:05 |
| sl33k_ | and I somehow slept till the pc turned off | 08:05 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: its easy to be confused because 14.04 is not offered by default you need the -d flag at this time | 08:05 |
| sl33k_ | do I fire release upgrade command | 08:06 |
| waykool99 | if ubuntu downloads says it needs to install 'restricted drivers', yep. | 08:06 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: if it was me i would try to fix dependencies which seem minor by installing java1-runtime-headless java2-runtime-headless java5-runtime-headless java6-runtime-headless | 08:07 |
| owh | dannyedwrds: No. nomodeset will prevent certain polling of the video card. You may find that you have a useable picture with it set. No need to install proprietary drivers. | 08:07 |
| salsero | i would do that too sl33k_ | 08:07 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: but i really dont know what state youre in or what might happen | 08:07 |

| dannyedwrds | waykool99: Thanks aswell | 08:08 |
| waykool99 | you're very welcome | 08:08 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i guess now you might have to upgrade to 12.10, 13.04, 13.10 and finally 14.04 | 08:08 |

| salsero | and a wise one | 08:09 |
| waykool99 | left win xp pro and media center edition 5 years ago, and never looked back. | 08:09 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: Package java1-runtime-headless is a virtual package provided by: gcj-jre-headless 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 gcj-4.6-jre-headless 4.6.3-1ubuntu2 | 08:10 |
| sl33k_ | You should explicitly select one to install. | 08:10 |

| dw1 | sl33k_: i see, well you could try instlaling one :) | 08:10 |
| salsero | prefer* sure mate, nice thing | 08:10 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: but you may want to consider backing up everything and doing fresh install of 14.04 | 08:11 |
| * salsero only if it's beyond repair... | 08:12 | |
| dw1 | sl33k_: partial upgrades are a mess, and doing 4 upgrades to get to 14.04 would take quite a while | 08:12 |

| dw1 | sl33k_: prob 20-30 mins or so | 08:13 |
| salsero | about 15 minutes without download time | 08:13 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: plus configuration and installing things you like | 08:14 |

| dw1 | sl33k_: depends what you choose i guess | 08:48 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: which might vary depending on if you dual boot, etc | 08:48 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i would just wipe the ubuntu partitions and put it in there | 08:49 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: wipe/delete | 08:49 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: I dual boot fyi | 08:49 |

| sl33k_ | dw1: could you elaborate: i would just wipe the ubuntu partitions and put it in there . I am hopelessly newbie | 08:49 |
| sl33k_ | and painfully dense | 08:50 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i think the installer lets you delete partitions | 08:50 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: so you could delete the ubuntu ones and start new | 08:50 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: and my drive data from windows d drive and so on? | 08:51 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: dont delete those ones. | 08:51 |

| dw1 | sl33k_: if you just delete them with gparted or whatever then it should be straightforward to install to the empty space | 08:58 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: -after- backups of course | 08:58 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: and after you make a working liveusb | 08:58 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: the installer may offer to wipe or delete them too not sure | 08:58 |
| foofoobar | llutz, nice, thank you! | 08:58 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: the installer will delete the sda8/9 apparently. | 08:59 |
| k1l | sl33k_: if you start the installtion from a usb the installer will recognize the old ubuntu install and will offer to install over that old install. that worked for me. | 08:59 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: so my sda numbers will remain same? | 09:00 |
| k1l | sl33k_: but i would suggest to make a 3rd partition for a seperate /home. | 09:00 |

| sl33k_ | k1l: clueless. How would I know where my /home is? | 09:00 |
| BWestOz | I cannot install ubuntu on a PC. The installer crashes at the partitioning window. If I stop and run gparted, the drive (& partitions) are there but for some reason the installer cant see them. I can install Ms Win xp, win 8 and Debian but cannot install U13, 14 or mint 16. All crash at the same point. Any suggestions appreciate | 09:01 |
| k1l | sl33k_: your /home is now just a folder in the / partition | 09:01 |

| Guest27914 | hello i have a question on how to install ubuntu within a debian based OS | 09:01 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: resizes, deletes, etc. but if you dont want to potentially break other things dont resize :) | 09:01 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: How did you conclude that? | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | !install|Guest27914 | 09:02 |

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 09:02 |
| Guest27914 | is it sudo apt-get install ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 09:02 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: because you only have 2 linux partitions, ubuntu root and swap | 09:02 |
| k1l | sl33k_: that is very very easy: if you only have 2 partitions: / and swap. there can not be a seperate /home | 09:02 |
| hkraal | So I can install apache2-mpm-itk but cannot actually use it as it needs apache to run as root which cannot be done in 14.04 without recompiling apache2 with "-DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE"... does that qualify as a bug? | 09:02 |
| k1l | sl33k_: 1+1 maths | 09:02 |
| * dw1 watches a movie | 09:02 | |
| sl33k_ | dw1: how does resizing work - if we resize one then does it downsize others? | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | Guest27914 that would not "install within debian" | 09:02 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: you would have to shrink one to enlarge another | 09:03 |

| flospi | I have a weird issue. When I scan my own (ubuntu 14.04) machine with nmap, it displays different results every time. The CUPS port is always open, but it also displays some random high ports every now and then, which seem to be different every time i run nmap. Sometimes just one of the random ports is open, sometimes up to four. Among the ports are: 39644, 49130, 50413, 56196, 58975. What's going on? | 09:03 |
| k1l | sl33k_: making room for other stuff?!? | 09:03 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i would just do what k1l said, let the installer install over top of existing install | 09:03 |
| sl33k_ | hmm sounds plausible | 09:04 |
| Guest27914 | flospi i hope you using nmap is not related to you trying to hack.... | 09:04 |
| k1l | Guest27914: then make a live-cd/live-usb and install ubuntu into own partitions | 09:04 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: keep it simple | 09:04 |

| flospi | What could cause random high tcp ports to be open/closed between every nmap run? | 09:05 |
| flospi | I am scared it's some kind of port knocking rootkit | 09:05 |
| Guest27914 | flospi what exactly are you trying to do? | 09:05 |
| flospi | Guest27914: determine what's going on | 09:05 |
| Guest27914 | lots of ports can be open by default | 09:06 |
| k1l | flospi: see netstat -tulpen to see what the ports are directed to | 09:06 |
| flospi | ;p | 09:06 |
| flospi | k1l none of the ports are displayed by netstat | 09:06 |
| sl33k_ | dw1, k1l, larrypg: does the install ask for specifying memory? | 09:06 |
| sl33k_ | like 1.5G so forth? | 09:07 |
| Guest27914 | well, then look up what those ports are used for then close the ports if you do not use the ports for the said use | 09:07 |
| k1l | sl33k_: what about you start the installer and ask when you get to a point and get stuck? | 09:07 |
| flospi | Guest27914: as i said, the ports are not actually open | 09:07 |
| k1l | sl33k_: the installed explains itself quite a lot. its very very easy | 09:07 |
| flospi | Guest27914: but connections on random high tcp ports are accepted once in a while | 09:07 |
| flospi | and the ports are immediately closed afterwards | 09:07 |
| === Germanaz0|0FF is now known as Germanaz0 | ||
| Guest27914 | rootkit? | 09:08 |
| flospi | if i run nmap 10 times in a row, it will display different of these high tcp ports as being open between runs, while none of those are displayed by netstat | 09:08 |
| Guest27914 | or maybe a back door trojan ? | 09:08 |
| flospi | yeah that was my thought, was just hoping that there was some sort of known issue that could cause this otherwise | 09:09 |
| * sl33k_ 'I should stop the mental gymnastics' | 09:09 | |
| Guest27914 | nmap is not the best software to be honest so i would probably believe netstat over nmap in my opinion | 09:09 |
| flospi | well a rootkit would hide the connections | 09:10 |
| flospi | so no one else has this issue when running nmap localhost -p1-65535 a few times in a row? | 09:10 |
| Guest27914 | let me check for you flospi the OS that i am running has it built in | 09:11 |
| Guest27914 | i might not be the best option to test this though because i accidently deleted a partition with windows on it and now i can't get kali-linux out of my system | 09:13 |

| flospi | to illustrate the issue (nmap output): http://pastebin.com/9gc9KhsZ | 09:13 |

| Guest27914 | kil that is what i planned on doing lol | 09:14 |
| k1l | Guest27914: then download the iso. put that on the usb (with dd) and reboot. done | 09:15 |
| Guest27914 | flospi it might be because you are scanning your own network ? | 09:15 |
| flospi | i am scanning localhost | 09:15 |
| Guest27914 | oh | 09:15 |
| Guest27914 | to be honest though for someone to use a back door trojan they would have to be pretty advanced | 09:16 |

| BWestOz | is it possible to do a command line install with U14? | 09:33 |
| salsero | ye | 09:33 |
| BWestOz | how? | 09:33 |
| DJones | !minimal | BWestOz | 09:33 |
| ubottu | BWestOz: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:33 |
| DJones | BWestOz: The minimal cd is the only since the alternate iso's were dropped, as the bot said, it'll download most packages via the net during installation | 09:34 |
| BWestOz | I'm just trying to find an installer that won't crash | 09:34 |
| BWestOz | I can install debian but not ubuntu | 09:35 |
| joelmo | can i make a init config that starts two processes | 09:45 |
| n13z | BWestOz: Excuse me if I bother you, but, have you scrolled down to search for disks in the installation menu? A coworker was saying same as you and that was his problem. | 09:45 |
| hufg | joelmo: yes your init config can do many things | 09:45 |
| hufg | not sure what you mean but add script to init.d use chkconfig to add it to "boot sequence" whatever it is | 09:46 |
| joelmo | i was thinkging to use upstart | 09:47 |
| BWestOz | n13z; I'll try ... | 09:47 |
| nodedfree | what is the best way to make bash file make installations? such as "sudo apt-get install something" and then configure and answering questions the installation asks | 09:47 |
| assistente | hi to all! i have a problem: after screen lock on xubuntu 14.04 64bit the keyboard don't work on firefox, then of i switch to a terminal window and type something, then switch to firefox the keyboard writes. succestions? | 09:48 |
| captainmustard | nodedfree you could probably just use apt-get install -y {packages} | 09:49 |
| captainmustard | I would think | 09:49 |
| hufg | joelmo: why whats the problem with chkconfig | 09:49 |
| nodedfree | captainmustard, yes.. after installation i order to run the proccess, configuration needed.. how bash file can answer questions? | 09:50 |
| nodedfree | like username, password, port.. | 09:50 |
| n13z | nodedfree: I don't like to invoque sudo inside of a script, I use sudo to invoque script. | 09:50 |
| nodedfree | i know the order of the questions if this helps | 09:50 |
| joelmo | hugf upstars config files looks much cleaner, i don't now much difference between those though | 09:50 |
| hufg | just copy one of the scripts from init.d modify priorities define start stop chkconfig --add scriptname | 09:51 |
| hufg | ok | 09:51 |
| BWestOz | n13z; how do I scroll down? | 09:52 |
| hufg | joelmo: http://spiralbound.net/blog/2007/07/23/example-linux-init-script/, copy script to /etc/init.d/, sudo chkconfig --add scriptname/servicename | 09:56 |
| hufg | easy work! | 09:56 |
| someHuman | I want grub2 to load by default whenever I boot. | 09:57 |

| graingert | anyone know how to get Ubuntu 64bit 14.04 usb working in UEFI | 09:58 |
| graingert | I've set my laptop to UEFI only mode with secureboot and it does not boot | 09:58 |
| BWestOz | n13z; there is nowhere to scroll down. I am at a window "Install - Installation Type" that is supposed to display partition info but it is blank. It is not seeing the drive. If I cancel I can see the drive with fdisk & gparted but the installer doesn't see it. Is there another way to continue with the installation? | 09:59 |
| n13z | BWestOz: Using live CD? | 10:01 |
| helpmeplease | soo, i can't install ubuntu from a cd or usb because kali linux is preventing it... | 10:01 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest98184 | ||
| BWestOz | n13z; it's 14 install that gives option of live or install | 10:02 |
| BWestOz | would I better off starting the live and installing it from there somehow? | 10:02 |
| n13z | BWestOz: Maybe you have a software blocking the install from reading the disks | 10:02 |
| lkthomas | hey guys | 10:03 |
| lkthomas | how could I list update-rc.d all services ? | 10:03 |
| BWestOz | n13z; eh? there's nothing on the PC | 10:03 |
| n13z | On the Ubuntu installer. | 10:03 |
| n13z | Something like dmraid or mdadm | 10:04 |
| adeligen | I'm having audio troubles with 14.04. There is a constant audio "pop" on my system. When I open up "Sound Settings" I see "Analog Output" as my device. Whenever there is a pop in audio, I see a "Headphones" output device appear for a moment. This doesn't happen in OS X or Windows, just Ubuntu. How would I go about debugging this issue? | 10:04 |
| n13z | BWestOz: Try running from live, search for dmraid or mdadm and remove it from live, then install. If it fails, use fdisk/parted to delete any partition on destination disk. | 10:05 |
| helpmeplease | any other way to install ubuntu besides a usb or a cd/dvd? | 10:06 |
| BWestOz | n13z; thanks for your suggestions | 10:06 |

| lexande | i have a machine where du reports much more space used than df (df says only 1.4T used but a du of the files gives 18T). i know of many reasons for the opposite to happen (df > du due to reserved space, open processes etc) but what would cause df to show less space used than du? | 10:30 |
| lexande | (note this persists through reboot) | 10:31 |

| k1l | helpmeplease: see the command line interface howto on that site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Ubuntu | 10:42 |
| polydr | ooh ubuntu can dd a bootable usb now? That might explain why the macs can't boot them. | 10:42 |

| jkrx | polydr: edit locale.conf | 10:44 |

| turrettype | I wish a beautiful day to ubuntu community! | 10:44 |
| polydr | jkrx: thanks | 10:44 |
| helpmeplease | well it does not say dd on that page... it says command line like he said... | 10:45 |
| polydr | helpmeplease: It does, but you need to read it BEFORE you start typing or pressing | 10:45 |
| k1l | helpmeplease: a cant help you if you dont read what and follow what we suggest you | 10:45 |
| polydr | helpmeplease: start from the 'command line interface' part | 10:46 |
| turrettype | I posed this question to liferea channel, but it seems to be quiet there at the moment. does anyone use liferea? how does bookmark function work? when I choose to bookmark a link, nothing happens. | 10:46 |

| helpmeplease | Run sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/devicenode bs=1M | 10:46 |
| k1l | helpmeplease: yes, but you need to adjust that command. its explained in the text in that chapter. so please read! | 10:47 |
| === eduardo is now known as Guest57630 | ||
| k1l | and with read i dont mean: just grab the command | 10:47 |

| === z_ is now known as Guest9385 | ||
| polydr | jkrx: thanks, looking at that | 10:49 |
| k1l | AlexPortable: just disable online search results in the privacy settings | 10:49 |
| jkrx | polydr: Ubuntu apparently handles this different but heres how it works https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale | 10:50 |
| AlexPortable | k1l: that's all? | 10:50 |
| polydr | k1l: AlexPortable this reminds we, it would be nice to have some kind of application levle firewall that could restrict certain apps to certain max bandwidth when on certain connections | 10:50 |
| polydr | jkrx: Thank you once more! | 10:50 |
| AlexPortable | hmm thats a good idea | 10:50 |
| jkrx | polydr: no problems :) | 10:50 |
| helpmeplease | and where do i get the image file because the download one is an iso file | 10:51 |
| AlexPortable | is there any way how to get the menu bar back in nautilus? | 10:51 |
| jkrx | polydr: Untangle handles bandwidth limits | 10:51 |
| polydr | helpmeplease: an ubuntu iso will work as the image file if you're on PC hwardware. Macs are a bit weird with dd'ed images | 10:52 |
| polydr | jkrx: per application? | 10:52 |
| jkrx | polydr: as far as I know, yes | 10:52 |
| polydr | jkrx: untangle.com? | 10:53 |
| jkrx | polydr: never had to do that myself but it should be able to handle per application | 10:53 |
| jkrx | polydr: yes | 10:53 |
| jkrx | polydr: problem is that untangle is a dedicated firewall | 10:53 |
| polydr | jkrx: looks like an enterprise tool, on their website there is no pricing, just "phone us for quote". Roughly can I ask if you know what it costs? | 10:54 |
| polydr | jkrx: Ah ok, USD 540 a year for an education licence | 10:54 |
| jkrx | polydr: they only charge for education and hardware | 10:54 |
| polydr | jkrx: THat's more than the data connection upgrade! | 10:55 |
| helpmeplease | this makes no sense | 10:55 |
| polydr | helpmeplease: use the dd command with the ubuntu iso as the image file (on the if side) and your usb as the output file (of) side | 10:56 |
| jkrx | helpmeplease: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging | 10:57 |
| jkrx | helpmeplease: read there carefully and try to understand. Take your time. There is not much else we can do for you here | 10:57 |
| polydr | jkrx: I'll agree with you that it looks highly likely untangle will do it, but it seems to be quite expensive and may need a dedicated machine. | 10:57 |
| jkrx | polydr: it needs a dedicated machine | 10:58 |
| lucido | does anyone know here how to make rtl8111e gigabit network card work,which driver to use? | 10:58 |

| ikey | and your if=/ assumes the file lives @ "/" - id hope it doesnt.. | 11:09 |
| SthNotTaken | dw1: I know it exists because it protects my phpmyadmin page. I can't find it in WinSCP | 11:09 |
| clarkk | polydr_: if I build it from source, am I still going to have the dependencies problems? Ie it wanted to upgrade cairo2, but I didn't know what else that would break (such as unity) | 11:09 |
| SthNotTaken | dw1: I'm just not sure where I set it up. Is there any way to search in Putty? | 11:09 |
| helpmeplease | the file is on my desktop.. | 11:10 |

| helpmeplease | root@kali:~# sudo dd if=~/desktop/ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1m so this sould work? | 11:13 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: semicolon will separate them | 11:13 |
| ikey | helpmeplease, its case sensitive | 11:14 |
| AlexPortable | jkrx: http://img.nl.eu.org/Hho.png | 11:14 |
| SthNotTaken | dw1: it only changes the directory, doesn't do anything else. NO error | 11:14 |
| jkrx | AlexPortable: this is getting weird... | 11:14 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: then there isnt an .htaccess anywhere in /var/www | 11:14 |
| AlexPortable | jkrx: i dont have unity i think | 11:14 |
| SthNotTaken | how could I search the entire system? Just by running the code after the semicolon? | 11:14 |
| helpmeplease | so what should be in caps? | 11:14 |
| helpmeplease | oh D | 11:15 |
| polydr_ | helpmeplease: 'Desktop' not 'desktop' unless Kali is weird. As said, it is case sensitive | 11:15 |
| jkrx | AlexPortable: The option should still be there | 11:15 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: yeah, from the root folder, but it will go through system folders too and show errors | 11:15 |
| jkrx | AlexPortable: hang on Ill install the app and check as Id ont have unity | 11:15 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: another thing you can do is sudo updatedb which makes a database of all files, then use locate <filename> | 11:15 |
| helpmeplease | dd: invalid number `1m' | 11:15 |
| SthNotTaken | sudo updatedb; locate <.htaccess> | 11:15 |
| polydr_ | helpmeplease: Try 1M | 11:15 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: no < > | 11:16 |
| clarkk | if upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04, is it recommended to do a clean install? If not, is there any concern about legacy configs or packages remaining on the system after the upgrade? | 11:16 |
| dw1 | SthNotTaken: sudo updatedb; locate .htaccess -- it might take a little while to updatedb | 11:16 |
| polydr_ | clarkk: yes and yes | 11:16 |
| helpmeplease | i think it is writing to it now | 11:16 |
| ikey | helpmeplease, then sit back and wait :) | 11:16 |
| clarkk | ugh | 11:16 |
| ikey | It's good to "sudo sync && sudo eject /dev/sdb" once it completes successfully | 11:16 |
| polydr_ | clarkk: if precise isnt broken why upgrade? | 11:17 |
| ikey | You'll ensure all buffers are written and /dev/sdb is disconnected from udev/kernel | 11:17 |
| turrettype | thank you jkrx ! | 11:17 |
| SthNotTaken | dw1: that did the trick! Found it! | 11:17 |
| helpmeplease | to safe remove it.. | 11:17 |
| ikey | pretty much yeah :) | 11:17 |
| clarkk | polydr_: because I need inkscape and inkscape is crap on the version I have | 11:17 |

| ikey | Anywhom - anyone familiar with Unity HUD bugs? | 11:18 |
| Funkeh` | whats the best way to remote into ubuntu from windows graphically? xrdp requires xfce unfortunately. | 11:18 |
| clarkk | polydr_: I've tried that. It wants to upgrade libcairo2, on which unity depends | 11:18 |
| polydr_ | clarkk: I see 0.48.4 there for precise. Did you try that exact one? | 11:18 |
| ikey | Funkeh`, i tend to use vnc for my machines, though ive not yet set my windows box up for remote tbh | 11:19 |
| clarkk | polydr_: how do I do that? I just saw one new version | 11:19 |
| ikey | my server runs centos and tiger-vnc.. works p good | 11:19 |
| clarkk | polydr_: let me try the process again. One moment... | 11:19 |
| jechadwell99 | How can I test that my graphics driver is working correctly? | 11:21 |
| hebz0rl | hi is it possible to install an ubuntu server from a running ubuntu desktop? | 11:21 |
| ikey | jechadwell99, glxinfo? glxgears? see that 3D works? | 11:21 |
| Funkeh` | ikey, is there a specific program you're using that works on both platforms? | 11:21 |
| jkrx | jechadwell99: glxinfo | 11:21 |
| ikey | Funkeh`, well I try to avoid using my windows box - only got a replacement sent yesterday - i know tigervnc has a windows and mac binary - might be useful. from Linux I use vinagre to connect | 11:22 |
| MagicSpud | hello people. I know with apple systems you can make iso files in order to install the same OS (and all the programs and files you want in it) on several computers... | 11:22 |
| jkrx | jechadwell99: try glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" | 11:22 |
| dw1 | hebz0rl: install on the same computer.. ? | 11:22 |
| hebz0rl | dw1, yes | 11:23 |
| jechadwell99 | it says that the graphics driver does work but there are some problems that have turned up recently that i think were related to driver problems | 11:23 |
| MagicSpud | my question is a bit twisty... could it be possible to use a virtualbox machine to do same thing with ubuntu OS? | 11:23 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: If you're looking to clone installs, I personally use clonezilla for that | 11:23 |
| dw1 | hebz0rl: you could install in a virtualbox virtual machine | 11:23 |
| jechadwell99 | like this one http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?334672-Weird-Selecting-(ubuntu) | 11:23 |
| dw1 | hebz0rl: but otherwise just make a liveCD/USB | 11:23 |
| jkrx | jechadwell99: post grep '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:23 |
| dw1 | hebz0rl: and boot it | 11:23 |
| ikey | remastersys? @ dw1 + hebz0rl | 11:23 |
| ikey | just a thought | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | MagicSpud: you could make an image of the partitions then use dd in liveCD to spit the image to a real drive | 11:24 |
| MagicSpud | hateball: yep but the point is the source Os is a virtualbox machine | 11:24 |
| ikey | darn i keep mixing nicks. | 11:24 |
| ervin_ | Hello, if server is configured that root may not login via ssh, my user is in sudoers (asking password for sudo) is there any simple way to combine rsync with sudo ? (i need to copy to local machine some files only readable by root on server) | 11:24 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: And you're looking to restore it onto iron? Shouldnt be any big issues as long as it's a standard install really | 11:25 |
| ikey | ervin_, you could stick a script on the server and call it via ssh after rsync is done | 11:25 |
| ikey | i.e. a chown -R chmod -R | 11:25 |
| hateball | MagicSpud: Still the same kernel etc. Only issues you might run into are if you have something like nvidia drivers or some such that tries to load on non-nvidia hardware | 11:25 |
| MagicSpud | hateball onto iron yes but just because it is not a regular ubuntu...I managed to convert it into a AD | 11:25 |
| dw1 | ervin_: you could enable public key authentication and login as root automatically | 11:25 |
| clarkk | it seems polydr_ has left | 11:26 |
| Funkeh` | ikey, does vinagre act as a server also? I want to remote into ubuntu from the win box | 11:26 |
| ervin_ | dw1 - public key is on, but root login should stay off. | 11:26 |
| ikey | Funkeh`, not.. really. not in the sense you mean | 11:26 |

| ikey | heh. | 11:27 |

| jechadwell99 | jkrx: I guess I'm just a bit worried about not being able to boot up (happened before) | 11:35 |
| jkrx | jechadwell99: worst that can happen is that xorg wont be working. In that case remove the drivers again | 11:36 |

| jkrx | jechadwell99: yes, as safe as a driver installation can be | 11:37 |

| arnadelo | Hi, anyone knows how to add an active medibuntu repository for Ubuntu 10.04??? | 11:46 |
| Funkeh` | recommendations for vnc server to use on ubuntu? the built in one seems inadequate | 11:46 |
| fidel__ | arnadelo: cant help you - but in general i would consider upgrading any 10.04 installation ;) | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | arnadelo: medibuntu is dead and gone | 11:46 |
| DJones | arnadelo: Probably unlikely, from memory the medibuntu repo was removed and deleted | 11:46 |
| fidel__ | 10.04 is out of support | 11:47 |
| sl33k_ | I'm taking a backup? Any way clonezilla will help me? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | fidel__: not on server ;) | 11:47 |
| jkrx | Funkeh`: vnc4? TightVNC? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: what is the reason for the connection? there may be a sleeker solution. | 11:47 |

| clarkk | ActionParsnip: I haven't because I expected me to be doing something wrongly, as I am not sure what is the correct way | 12:02 |
| Funkeh` | everything | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: for example | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | clarkk: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install inkscape | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: you can manage and control Transmission via HTTP, you can run updates via apt-get via SSH | 12:03 |
| Funkeh` | log on as a user, install some game server, log off, even reboot it | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: you can access and manage files using SFTP which can be mounted by Nautilus | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: you can reboot using SSH | 12:03 |
| Funkeh` | I want to do it graphically | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: you can install game servers using SSH too | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: but why? | 12:04 |
| konrad_ | Hi there! I have trouble understanding what goes wrong with my env: I created an executable python script with "#!/usr/bin/env python"-header, which works fine. However, as soon as I symlink that script and execute the symlink, my system tries to execute it using '/usr/bin/spe' (stani's python editor, which I uninstalled). | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: arent you going to be editting text file and so forth to configure the server? | 12:04 |
| clarkk | ActionParsnip: Setting up inkscape (0.48.3.1-1ubuntu1.1) - this is the previous version | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | clarkk: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install inkscape | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: and won't those files be edittable using nano or vi? | 12:05 |
| Funkeh` | not interested in command line at the moment, this is a personal project | 12:05 |
| konrad_ | I could not find any reference to SPE via 'update-alternatives --get-selections' or in 'env'. not sure, where else to look? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: so far everything you need can be done in CLI, or with web interfaces | 12:06 |
| Funkeh` | ugh | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: yet you want to significantly reduce security by installing a desktop then using one of the most insecure protocols to manage it | 12:06 |
| Funkeh` | its on private lan, I don't care | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: why do you think the server OS doesnt come with a desktop or GUI? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Funkeh`: but with SSH, you can manage it from anywhere, and securely | 12:08 |

| clarkk | ActionParsnip: sorry for the delay. The inkscape package is the old versoin. It's inkscape-trunk that I need to install, which wants to uprade libcairo2, but I'm very cautious about that because unity relies on it http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MmfhpkT9 | 12:10 |
| arnab | Ben64 lonix: thanks a lot | 12:10 |
| dcamel | It's possible my hard disk is starting to fail, but it doesn't make sense that this happens consistently when I mount a USB flash drive | 12:11 |

However, as soon as I symlink that script and execute the symlink, my system tries to execute it using '/usr/bin/spe' (stani's python editor, which I uninstalled). | 12:28 |

| MikeMike_ | Hi there, I've a quick question. When I boot up my ubuntu I already have an tun0 device in ifconfig (not configured though). Can I disable that? Since it seems to conflict with a script, that I run on different machines without a problem | 12:58 |
| KGM70 | MikeMike_, using a vpn ? | 12:59 |
| MikeMike_ | KGM70: yes | 12:59 |
| MikeMike_ | KGM70: Said script sets up a vpn | 12:59 |
| KGM70 | MikeMike_, which vpn protocol? | 13:00 |
| konrad_ | jkrx asdofindia chosig thanks for your efforts! | 13:00 |
| konrad_ | bye! | 13:01 |
| MikeMike_ | KGM70: openvpn, the problem is, when I run 'openvpn foo.conf' it fails to add a route, because RTNETLINK answers a file already exists | 13:01 |
| MikeMike_ | if I tell tun0 to shut down with ifconfig down tun0 before running that script everything is added correctly, I could of course extend the script to simply run "ifconfig down tun0" before it runs openvpn, but I'm not sure why the tun0 device is there in the first place | 13:02 |

| salsero | no | 13:49 |
| Armadillos | djinja: Yes, as you still get the DPI advantages from the mouse, and the buttons on the mice still work | 13:49 |
| jkrx | djinja: linux sets up the mice for u. U dont need drivers in most cases. Other than that the advantage is usually what DPI the mouse have | 13:49 |

| Armadillos | djinja: I have the Razer MMO mouse, and can use all of the 12 buttons on the side. | 13:50 |
| abstr4kt | net125mp, if you are tryng to make an iso from a cdrom i don't think that this is the best way... try something like tath istead : http://askubuntu.com/questions/307688/how-to-create-iso-image-from-dvd | 13:50 |
| jkrx | djinja: When u find a mouse just do a search on google like Razer Naga ubuntu and u will get results for how ppl have either got it working or how it works out of the box | 13:50 |
| djinja | jkrx: Armadillos I know I can get the buttons to work and I know about resolution. Isn't there some acceleration and deaccelaration software that makes the mouse work better for games, Is that not more important than resolution? | 13:50 |
| jkrx | djinja: acceleration works too | 13:51 |
| Armadillos | djinja: Not really. Usually that's controlled by two buttons on the mouse, and that works in linux as well | 13:51 |
| jkrx | djinja: works flawlessly with my corsair mouse | 13:51 |

| net125mp | abstr4kt, do i need to unmount it or anything before dd / cloning it? | 13:59 |
| LucidGuy | Is apt-get update ran on startup? Is it ever auto ran? Or does it always have to ran manually? | 13:59 |
| jkrx | LucidGuy: if u have default ubuntu there is an updater running automatically for u | 14:00 |
| CatKiller | LucidGuy: I don't think it is ran on startup but could be wrong. However, apt-get update doesn't actually upgrade any packages | 14:00 |
| CatKiller | only the "sources definitions" | 14:00 |
| CatKiller | i.e. what's available | 14:01 |
| jkrx | yea that could be right | 14:01 |
| jkrx | I dont use the gui tools for that so dont know how they are set up | 14:01 |
| jkrx | but I thought it made a update && upgrade call | 14:01 |
| ddssc | how do I set up a color scheme where the url is painted differently than the text, depending on the user role? | 14:03 |
| === jkrx is now known as jkrx|afk | ||
| ActionParsnip | LucidGuy: i believe the updates are checked periodically | 14:05 |
| kanyl | I screwed up my permissions for my python installation, can i get apt-get to redo them somehow? | 14:07 |

| pgnome | reporting ubuntu sucks | 14:11 |
| k1l | pgnome: please watch your language and dont misuse this channel for ranting | 14:12 |
| pgnome | upgraded and I don't have the latest kernel, my nvidia driver is configured for an older kernel and firefox is updated but cannot find menu options | 14:12 |
| pgnome | k1l, why does Ubuntu have to be like Microsoft? | 14:13 |
| pgnome | leave my firefox menu alone! | 14:13 |
| k1l | pgnome: so what kernel are you on? what did you fiddle with that nvidia driver? what does ubuntu have to do with firefox changing things? | 14:13 |
| k1l | pgnome: last time: stop ranting | 14:13 |
| salsero | use firefox from mozilla.org and install it in your home | 14:13 |
| salsero | problem solved | 14:13 |
| pgnome | it's configured for ubuntu | 14:14 |
| pgnome | I am on 3.12 | 14:14 |
| pgnome | I forgot to upgrade so nvidia driver is configured for 3.12 | 14:14 |
| k1l | pgnome: 3.12 had never been a ubuntu kernel | 14:14 |
| pgnome | although I installed headers and images for 3.13 | 14:14 |
| k1l | so yeah. you are breaking things and blaming ubuntu for it. | 14:14 |
| pgnome | 3.12.0-7-generic | 14:14 |
| pgnome | well I am in 14.04 trusty right now and that is uname -r output | 14:15 |
| k1l | pgnome: 3.13 are the stable kernels. | 14:15 |
| pgnome | ugh | 14:15 |
| k1l | so you got a kernel from the alpha state? | 14:15 |
| pgnome | I am trying to install 3.13! | 14:15 |
| k1l | install "linux-generic" | 14:16 |
| k1l | that will rbing you the regular 14.04 kernel which is 3.13.0-24 | 14:16 |
| davidsong | Hello. I have a ui idea for Ubuntu. I don't know if it already exists though. It's dead simple | 14:17 |
| davidsong | A progress spinner should take exactly 1 second to spin. That's all | 14:17 |
| pgnome | really?!? geez | 14:17 |
| pgnome | it's installed | 14:17 |
| davidsong | Who should i tell my amazing idea to? | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | !contribute|davidsong | 14:18 |
| ubottu | davidsong: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 14:18 |
| pgnome | an idea? how about working on bugs? | 14:19 |
| pgnome | I already upgraded my kernel in a flavour of debian | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | pgnome "amazing" ideas take priority over critical things like bugs. | 14:19 |
| pgnome | I guess this install is beyond repair so out of the 3 distros I use, ubuntu is the only one that will need a re-install | 14:21 |
| pgnome | if I really want to waste my time with it | 14:21 |
| pgnome | oh yeah, unity sucks too | 14:21 |
| k1l | pgnome: you invested enough time to ruin your install. so dont blame ubuntu for it | 14:21 |
| k1l | pgnome: stop ranting, last warning now | 14:21 |
| KGM70 | amazing, really ? wonder what boring means in his dictionary :) | 14:22 |
| dw1 | pgnome: sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic ? | 14:22 |
| cfhowlett | pgnome as you're aware, you are in no way forced to use unity. Options abound. | 14:22 |
| pgnome | I'm using gnome | 14:22 |
| pgnome | it's bugging me too but | 14:22 |
| pgnome | dw1, did that | 14:22 |
| pgnome | that's why I don't know what's going on | 14:23 |
| pgnome | i had pixbuf messages throughout the upgrade too | 14:23 |
| wheatthin | after this recent update of 14.04, My intel hda sound card is no longer being detected, can someone point me to the right fix? | 14:24 |
| === Guest72943 is now known as test123 | ||
| dw1 | pgnome: sudo update-grub should find all installed kernels and put them in the menu for ya | 14:25 |
| sl33k_ | I cannot open startup disk creator. What is the problem? | 14:25 |
| dw1 | pgnome: but it should be automatic | 14:25 |
| sl33k_ | from menu | 14:25 |

| k1l | sl33k_: still? what is with the dd way? | 14:26 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: I don't know the dd way. link or help? | 14:26 |
| sl33k_ | I am seeing this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 14:27 |
| k1l | sl33k_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Ubuntu chapter command line interface | 14:28 |
| k1l | sl33k_: that is dead easy. you just need 2 minutes to concentrate | 14:28 |
| wheatthin | Is there a way to get my hda intel sound card to show up after a kernel update? | 14:29 |
| genii | !intelhda | 14:31 |
| ubottu | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 14:31 |
| wheatthin | thank you very much :).. hopefully it'll work out | 14:31 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: I don't see a dev/sdc in the output http://pastebin.com/0GDKJV2x | 14:32 |
| andybrine | does anyone know if there is a way to restore all my ubuntuone files on 14.04? | 14:32 |
| andybrine | all the repos are down | 14:32 |
| k1l | sl33k_: its /dev/sdb that is the usb drive | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine ubuntu one is dying. download your files from the website and find an alternate cloud optionn | 14:32 |
| wheatthin | genii, it's totally not seeing my sound card... only registering my ati graphics card | 14:33 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: Is FAT error anything to be bothered | 14:33 |
| k1l | andybrine: there was a mail explaining that ubuntuone filestorage is shutdown | 14:33 |
| andybrine | cfhwlett yeh I realised that but I can only download files 1 by 1 and have a lot of files | 14:33 |
| k1l | sl33k_: no, we are makgin a new one anyway | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine yep. get busy. | 14:33 |
| andybrine | cfhowlett surly there are ways to do it | 14:34 |
| andybrine | thats why im asking here | 14:34 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine in 14.04? | 14:34 |
| andybrine | yes | 14:34 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: do I need to enter /dev/devicenode as is or devicenode is sdc? | 14:35 |
| k1l | its /dev/sdb since you want to write on the usb | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine only way I know, since, as announced, it is NOT supported in 14.04 ... drop back; 14.04 or 13.10. do the downloads then upgrade. sorry, I can't offer anything more tasty. | 14:36 |
| sl33k_ | I am going on a limp to ask idiotic questions so please don;t think I am intentionally irritating you all | 14:36 |
| andybrine | its shocking that ubuntu have done this. They should at least allow people to download their data first!!! | 14:36 |
| k1l | andybrine: they did for some time. | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | wheatthin: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine hey announced it LONG ago and advised immediate action. | 14:37 |
| andybrine | I did see the announcement and it was around the time of 14.04 upgrade | 14:37 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted <- expected? | 14:38 |
| cfhowlett | andybrine 6 weeks later ... | 14:38 |
| k1l | sl33k_: does "mount" list sdb or sdb1? | 14:38 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: sdb1. Enter at the terminal? | 14:39 |
| k1l | sl33k_: no | 14:39 |
| sl33k_ | /dev/sdb1 on /media/AHSAN type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) | 14:39 |
| k1l | type "mount" in a terminal and see if there is a line with sdb or sdb1 | 14:40 |
| wheatthin | ActionParsnip, how would I be able to print or pipe that to pastebinit? | 14:40 |
| k1l | sl33k_: so you need to umount /dev/sdb1 since that is mounted | 14:40 |
| dw1 | the docs are fallible... darn :) | 14:41 |
| caiyunwen | hi | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | wheatthin: the script make a URL, what is the URL | 14:42 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: dont use the 1 in the dd command tho ;) | 14:42 |
| === hexagon is now known as sign | ||
| === str__ is now known as StR | ||
| sl33k_ | dw1: really? | 14:42 |
| k1l | sl33k_: please show the dd command before you try to run it | 14:42 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: really | 14:42 |
| sl33k_ | ;) is a hint | 14:43 |
| StR | Hi everyone! I was playing with the preferences and now everytime I click the [ctrl] button, mouse cursor starts flashing with some circles around it. How can I disalb eit? | 14:43 |
| raymond__ | bonjour | 14:43 |
| k1l | sl33k_: yes, dw1 is right. you need to "burn" the image on the stick, and not into a partition on the stick. | 14:43 |
| k1l | sl33k_: but that is all explained in the text on the help page i linked. you just need to read al that and concentrate 2 min. | 14:43 |
| wheatthin | ActionParsnip, it's an ac97 controller | 14:43 |
| ddssc | when trying to mount my ntfs drive nautilus is asking for root authentication, however my root password doesn't work. what gives? | 14:43 |
| wheatthin | ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e59d30da0715183dc7768aff78ddc98b780982d3 | 14:44 |
| dw1 | ddssc: try your user password | 14:44 |
| ddssc | dw1: they are the same, it's my desktop machine | 14:45 |
| wheatthin | ddssc, root is disabled by default.. try sudo -s and use your user password | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wheatthin: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.config/pulse/* ; rm -r ~/.pulse* | 14:46 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: sudo dd if=/home/sl33k/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M ? Would you say I am good to go? | 14:46 |
| dw1 | ddssc: strange | 14:46 |
| Ziber | If my samba shares were working correctly, would they show up on smbstatus --shares? | 14:46 |
| wheatthin | ActionParsnip, k.. should I reboot or relaunch something? | 14:46 |
| salsero | sl33k_: ye | 14:46 |
| k1l | sl33k_: the command is good. do you have only 32bit cpu hardware? | 14:46 |
| salsero | 64bit ftw \o/ | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | wheatthin: couldnt hurt | 14:47 |
| StR | Hi everyone! I was playing with the preferences and now every time I click the [ctrl] button, mouse cursor starts flashing with some circles around it. How can I disable it? | 14:47 |
| wheatthin | k brb | 14:47 |
| mamed | hello guyz. ubuntu 14.04 adobe flash problem. i have installed restricted extras and flash but in some websites content is not shown properly | 14:47 |
| k1l | sl33k_: if you dont have 32bit only hardware download the 64bit image and install that | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mamed: can you please pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 14:48 |
| ddssc | dw1: on another note, now I lost the ability to do sudo commands :d looks like my user is not in sudoers wtf? | 14:48 |
| sl33k_ | k1l: Although I would like to go for 64 bit. Downloading takes too much time. | 14:48 |
| mamed | ActionParsnip, sure here it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7457847/ | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: run: groups what do you see? | 14:49 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: sudo lshw -c cpu | grep width -- will show if 64 bit capable | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mamed: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer | 14:49 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: myname root | 14:49 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: :( 64 would be better.. | 14:49 |
| mamed | ActionParsnip, i did | 14:50 |
| ddssc | so my user is part of the root group | 14:50 |
| ddssc | hm hm, maybe that's the problem ? | 14:50 |
| dw1 | mines not in root, but is in sudo :/ | 14:50 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: It is 64 bits | 14:50 |
| ikonia | ddssc: the root account is locked, you should not be able to use the root account | 14:50 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: what are the tangible advantages of 64 bit? | 14:51 |
| ddssc | dw1: think I made a mistake and added my user to root group with usermod... instead of adding me to sudoers | 14:51 |
| ddssc | ikonia: right, so how do I fix this? I can't sudo now | 14:51 |
| k1l | sl33k_: there is no reason to use 32bit if the hardware goes with 64bit | 14:51 |
| ddssc | I effectively locked myself out of root by adding myself to root? the fuck.. | 14:51 |
| ikonia | ddssc: there is no need for bad language | 14:51 |
| ddssc | yes | 14:51 |
| ddssc | my bad | 14:51 |
| dw1 | ddssc: apparently so :p | 14:51 |
| ikonia | ddssc: please control your language it is not warrented or needed | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | ddssc language ... keep it clean | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: so you added your user to the root group? | 14:52 |
| ikonia | ddssc: is your user account the only account on the machine ? | 14:52 |
| ddssc | ikonia: yep | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: you added your user to the root group? | 14:52 |
| ikonia | ddssc: why did you change the account ? | 14:52 |
| dw1 | ddssc: do you have a cdrom, 'cause if so you should be in cdrom group too :) | 14:52 |
| ikonia | was there a problem you where trying to fix ? | 14:52 |
| dw1 | ddssc: do you have a printer, 'cause if so you should probably be in lpadmin group too :) | 14:52 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: My bandwidth is less. Takes 3 hours for download. Any way to reduce this time? | 14:52 |
| ddssc | ikonia: cause I wanted to be able to change files created by root with my user account. | 14:53 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: no :( | 14:53 |
| ikonia | ddssc: exactly what command did you issue to change the group ? | 14:53 |
| mamed | ActionParsnip, i did wht you dpkg -P ... and restarted firefx but i cant still see the site content exactly maybe this is a problem of firefox i will update it | 14:53 |
| mamed | thank you so much ActionParsnip for you help | 14:53 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: can I upgrade from 32 to 64? | 14:53 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: no | 14:53 |
| ddssc | usermod -g root myname | 14:53 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: maybe | 14:53 |
| ddssc | ikonia: usermod -g root myname | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: why did you run that? what was the aim? | 14:53 |
| ikonia | ddssc: that's only the initially login group | 14:54 |
| ikonia | ddssc: please show me the output of the command "id" | 14:54 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: TO BE ABLE to rw files created by root. I know i know I shozld've just added myself to group instead and given rights to group on files. blah | 14:54 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: but you might as well just download 64 now, cause otherwise youd be doing it later anyway | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: then use sudo | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: you can get a root prompt with: sudo -s | 14:54 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: I maybe shortchanging myself. But I would like to go ahead. It takes too much time. | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: so you've done something insqane and now you are getting issues....weird huh | 14:55 |
| sl33k_ | with 32 | 14:55 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. and I cant edit sudoers | 14:55 |
| ddssc | :( | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: didnt you think there was maybe a _reason why_ the OS is setup in such a fashion? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: you can drop to root recovery console, add your user to the sudo group and get all the access you need | 14:56 |
| ddssc | ddssc: how? | 14:56 |
| ikonia | ddssc: please show me the output of the command "id" | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root | 14:56 |
| harry | trying to install ubuntu alongside win 7 but instaltion window shows install ubuntu inside win of replace it | 14:57 |
| ddssc | ikonia: uid=1000(blah) gid=1000(blah) groups=1000(blah),0(root) | 14:57 |
| ikonia | ddssc: not asking for "blah" | 14:57 |
| ikonia | ddssc: asking for the actual output | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | harry: resize your NTFS in Windows, then run a chkdsk, then boot to the Ubuntu install CD an install | 14:57 |
| ddssc | ikonia: it's what it says | 14:57 |
| ikonia | ddssc: why are there groups called blah | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: sounds like whoami = blah | 14:58 |
| ddssc | ikonia: no idea, it's my username | 14:58 |
| ikonia | ahhhh | 14:58 |
| ddssc | :d | 14:58 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: excellent spot | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | word | 14:58 |
| ikonia | ddssc: so you'll need to use a recovery shell or live media to put your user back into the sudo group | 14:58 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: prob wont be much different... | 14:58 |
| ddssc | ikonia: should I add my user to sudoers file? | 14:59 |
| ikonia | ddssc: no | 14:59 |
| harry | ActionParsnip: i have installed win in 200gb of 500 gb and want to rest for ubuntu but in installation process remaining 300gb shows unusable | 14:59 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: im trying to find a serious advantage its a lot of reading :) | 14:59 |
| ikonia | ddssc: you should put your user back in the sudo group | 14:59 |
| ddssc | ikonia: how? | 14:59 |
| ikonia | ddssc: by using the recovery shell | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | harry: is the 500Gb assigned to a partition? | 14:59 |
| ikonia | ddssc: ActionParsnip told you how to do it | 14:59 |
| ddssc | ikonia: how? :) | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | [15:56] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root | 14:59 |
| sl33k_ | nhm | 15:00 |
| harry | ActionParsnip: no its just dead space | 15:00 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: supposedly 64bit helps with some more complex tasks.. "If you are ripping a lot of CD's or DVD's, transcoding video from one format into another, or doing 3D Rendering, you can notice upwards of 30% performance gain." | 15:00 |
| harry | in win 7 | 15:00 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: "If you are just word processing, emailing, and surfing the net, then you probably won't notice a thing (unless you can detect milliseconds!)." | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | harry: if you make partitions in Windows but don't format them, does it help? | 15:00 |
| harry | neve tried that | 15:00 |
| harry | but why is ybuntu installation wizard shows install inside windows? why not alongside win 7 as before | 15:01 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: yea I can drop to root console. then what? | 15:01 |
| wheatthin | ActionParsnip, still no sound ;/ | 15:01 |
| ikonia | ddssc: run usermod with the correct options | 15:01 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: will go ahead with this probably. I cannot open the usb drive? | 15:01 |
| ddssc | ikonia: thats what Im asking, what should I write? ! | 15:02 |
| sl33k_ | is expected? | 15:02 |
| harry | ActionParsnip: but why is ybuntu installation wizard shows install inside windows? why not alongside win 7 as before | 15:02 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: its not mounted so yeah | 15:02 |
| designbybeck | Help please: I'm installing Ubuntu 14.04 on a dual boot system. Install went fast, just grub messed up. I am running boot-repair right now but it isn't working | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wheatthin: do you get sound in headphones? | 15:02 |
| ikonia | ddssc: so you know how to add it to the root group yes ? | 15:02 |
| ddssc | ikonia: coz running usermod put me in this situation | 15:02 |
| ddssc | ikonia: apparently not. hence why Im here last half hour | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: can you boot either OS? | 15:02 |
| ikonia | ddssc: so do the same but remove root and use "sudo" group | 15:02 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: Now I just need to press shift on boot? | 15:02 |
| ikonia | you can then use the gui tools on the desktop to add/remove other groups as you see fit | 15:02 |
| k1l | sl33k_: no | 15:02 |
| designbybeck | I'm on this step in Boot-Repair Grub: .... sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc | 15:02 |
| k1l | sl33k_: you need to boot from the usb | 15:03 |
| ddssc | ikonia: right. didnt know that | 15:03 |
| ddssc | brb | 15:03 |

| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: omgubuntu has a guide named 'sticking it to grub' works well in my experience | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | harry: did you run the setup on the Ubuntu CD in Windows or did you just boot to the CD? | 15:04 |

| harry | summary : I installed win 7 yesterday deleted all previous drives (from previous win 7 ), total ~500GB space. Installed win 7 and used 200Gb to create three partitions including C drive and left 300GB untouched(neither created drive nor formatted it) . Now want to install ubuntu 14 alongside win 7 in that 300GB space(i don't want them to interact) and made my PD bootable. Tried to install but left with options "Install inside win 7" and | 15:27 |
| harry | Chose third option "Do something else" and saw remaining 300GB drive as unusable along with three other win drives | 15:27 |
| adamw | oh, hrm, works with the 'launchpad id' with epiphany, not firefox. whee. | 15:27 |

| Draconis | hi guys, I'm trying to install windows 7 as a guest in virtualbox, but I only have a bootable usb of it. I tried using dd to copy the drive to a iso but virtualbox still fails to recognize it. Any ideas? | 16:14 |
| sl33k_ | Jkrx: i can opt out now? | 16:14 |
| Dhoni | jkrx: i only have around 20GB of softwares , a 32gb pen drive would do the job for me ?? | 16:14 |
| sl33k_ | jkrx | 16:14 |
| jkrx | Dhoni: yes | 16:15 |
| sl33k_ | How do i access the file systems? | 16:15 |
| jkrx | sl33k_: google remove encryption ubunutu and see | 16:15 |
| darkxploit | Draconis, winblows | 16:15 |
| jkrx | darkxploit: scp /some/local/file youruser@yourremoteserver:/remote/path | 16:16 |
| jkrx | darkxploit: u mean like that? | 16:16 |
| Dhoni | jkrx: will the pen drive be reliable , some say it has chances of getting corrupt | 16:16 |
| darkxploit | jkrx, from server [VPS] to local [mypc] | 16:16 |
| jkrx | Dhoni: there is always a chance for corruption but thats true about dvds too | 16:16 |
| Dhoni | darkxploit: how many vpses do you own ? | 16:16 |
| darkxploit | Dhoni, make ir a tarball | 16:17 |
| jkrx | darkxploit: oh | 16:17 |
| Draconis | darkxploit, well I need it for some legacy work activex crap | 16:17 |
| Draconis | either way, there has to be some way to make a bootable iso from a bootable usb? | 16:17 |
| Dhoni | jkrx: so i shud backup to pen drive and DVDs for reliability ? | 16:17 |
| Draconis | only articles I find say to use dd but I don't believe that makes it bootable since the specs are different for iso/hdd | 16:17 |
| darkxploit | Draconis, u can use the .ISO to boot directly on the vbox | 16:18 |
| Draconis | I need to make the iso | 16:19 |
| darkxploit | jkrx, any idea mate | 16:19 |
| Draconis | I only have a bootable usb | 16:19 |
| Draconis | how can I make an iso from that | 16:19 |
| Dhoni | darkxploit: jkrx which is the best pen drive ? | 16:19 |
| jkrx | Dhoni: for maximum reliabillity u should use a raid array but yea u can use both pendrive and dvd | 16:19 |
| darkxploit | Draconis, no idea.. | 16:19 |
| jkrx | darkxploit: Im thinking | 16:19 |
| jkrx | darkxploit: been sometime since I usen VPN and remote servers | 16:20 |
| Dhoni | jkrx: Which pen drive brand is the best for backup for long term ? Transcend or Sandisk ? | 16:20 |
| dracnoc | Draconis: dd if=/path/to/your/usb of=/path/to/wheveryoulike.iso | 16:20 |
| darkxploit | Dhoni, jkrx this pendrive question is hard to answer.. lol | 16:20 |

| JoeyJoeJo | I've got a 2GHz multicore processor and when I watch /proc/cpuinfo, the cores jump between 800MHz and 2GHz. Is there a way I can lock them to 2GHz? Is there a reason I shouldn't do that? | 16:31 |
| Draconis | dracnoc, Sorry just saw your reply. I tried using dd but virtualbox says it can't detect a bootable iso when I select it | 16:31 |
| llutz | JoeyJoeJo: there is no reaso to lock it, why should the cpu "run fast" (high power consupmtion) without need? | 16:32 |

| darkxploit | aquarius, hiiii | 16:32 |

| JoeyJoeJo | llutz: I need it. I wrote a python script using the multiprocess library and I'm trying to make it run as fast as possible | 16:32 |

| aquarius | i am from MOLDOVA you? | 16:32 |
| dracnoc | Draconis: the if=/path/ should be to the raw device, i.e., /dev/sdc - not to where it's mounted, i.e., /media/usbdisk. does that help? | 16:33 |
| darkxploit | JoeyJoeJo, may be u have to tweak ur systemctl.conf | 16:33 |
| JoeyJoeJo | darkxploit: Thanks, I'll check that out | 16:34 |
| llutz | JoeyJoeJo: either disable cpufreq or set governor to performance | 16:34 |
| sl33k_ | How to know what my software repository is? | 16:35 |
| Draconis | dracnoc, yes my complete command was something like sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=somefile.iso | 16:35 |

| dracnoc | Draconis: damn. there must be something getting in the way in VB. Sorry, can't help further. VMs aren't my thing | 16:36 |
| Dhoni | anyone recently bought VPS ? | 16:36 |
| AgentDrTran | yup | 16:36 |
| Draconis | np thanks though | 16:36 |

| daftykins | Armag3dd0n1: deal with it. | 16:58 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | no need to be so harsh | 16:58 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | :/ | 16:58 |
| daftykins | well when you keep coming in asking the same thing over a week, it gets pretty stupid, don't you agree? | 16:58 |

| Armag3dd0n1 | :/ | 16:58 |
| OerHeks | Armag3dd0n1, saying 7 hours? please keep the time, come back if it is over 5 hours :-D | 16:59 |

| sl33k_ | cool thanks for your response jkrx | 17:04 |
| ldiamond | Armag3dd0n1, well, if you keep installing stuff then your battery will not last as long. | 17:04 |
| jkrx | ldiamond: or are they keeping lxde? | 17:04 |
| ldiamond | jkrx, didn't know that | 17:04 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | i only had xbmc, vlc, firefox and xchat | 17:04 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | brb | 17:04 |
| ldiamond | Armag3dd0n1, stop relying on the battery indicator. Battery life will depend on your usage mostly. Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) is much better than windows if you ask me. | 17:05 |
| sl33k_ | are there any free graphic drivers? | 17:05 |
| ldiamond | if by 'free' you mean you don't have to pay, all of them. | 17:05 |
| ldiamond | if by 'free' you mean opensource, yes, they come with ubuntu | 17:05 |
| sl33k_ | Do you feel satisfied with the current graphics for computing? Are drivers only important for gaming purposes? | 17:06 |
| gegge87 | anyone could help with ALSA problems? | 17:06 |
| sl33k_ | ldiamond: hmm so ubuntu provides one out of the box. where can I find more about this? | 17:06 |
| ldiamond | sl33k_, I always install the prop drivers because I tend to use some of the extra features. However, since nvidia started opening some of its architecture, the opensource drives have gotten much better | 17:07 |

| OerHeks | sl33k_, your previous install was encrypted disk + home? | 17:30 |
| sl33k_ | OerHeks: it was not encrypted. | 17:31 |
| OerHeks | sl33k_, that is how i read it. | 17:31 |
| sl33k_ | OerHeks: Not sure if it was /home | 17:32 |
| sl33k_ | are those file systems lost beyond repair? | 17:32 |

| sl33k_ | ramos: GUI method http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 17:43 |
| rvdv | Then you can do a upgrade from there | 17:43 |
| ramos | sl33k_, ok I'll check it out...Thanks bro! | 17:44 |
| sl33k_ | ramos: if you are 12.04 you can upgrade instead of install as rvdv suggested | 17:44 |
| rvdv | sudo do-release-upgrade -d as I remember | 17:45 |
| rvdv | or maybe without the "-d" | 17:46 |
| sl33k_ | ramos: install is recommended to those who are using unsupported versions iirc | 17:46 |
| ramos | sl33k_, thanks...Does it matter if I have other stuff on the flash drive? | 17:47 |
| === WLM|weg is now known as WolfLambert | ||
| rvdv | ramos if you really want to continue with a usb install, then all other stuff of the usb will be lost ... but as said .... you can just upgrade from 12.04 | 17:48 |

| sl33k_ | ramos: you have to format it before backing up the usb drive. But why don't you upgrade it from the terminal? rvdv dropped the command above supposedly | 17:52 |
| ramos | sl33k_, I've been trying to upgrade from command line for the last 3 days. I've been working others here and it seems as though I"ve got a mixture of 10.04 and 12.04 os's, which won't allow me access to the respsitories | 17:53 |

| szronik | Okay, here's the problem I have. My Android phone isn't being recognized by the OS. Pinned it down to a kernel feature called USB OTG and found some posts where people had similar problems. It seems like this is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1047527 Supposedly it's been fixed, but I'm running 3.14.3 and it isn't fixed. Now, I'd like to recompile the kernel with the feature disabled, but I get the following erro | 18:05 |

| marsfligth | Hi, when will be offer the new LTS for upgrade the existing previous LTS (12.04)? In 'software update' I set 'upgrade only LTS versions' but I have two PC wit the 12.04.x LTS one in English and another one in Italian but until now I did not get any kind of offer. Have i to do it manually like 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'do-release-upgrade'. Anyway I'd prefer that is Ubuntu to offer it automatically. Thanks | 18:06 |

| Beldar | !ppa-purge | shashuto1112 | 18:19 |
| ubottu | shashuto1112: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:19 |
| shashuto1112 | @Beldar i am using a 32 bit version of ubuntu 14.04. I did purge the ppa and installed the repos. But more problems were there in repos like lot of lagging. so i removed the repos and again put up the ppa. | 18:20 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: what can I do now | 18:21 |
| Beldar | shashuto1112, Could this be a hardware limitations? | 18:21 |

| _ramok | what am i doing wrong? | 18:22 |
| jkrx | ok misingnoglic try modprobe -r nvidia | 18:22 |

| jkrx | misingnoglic: more importantly do u have an nvidia card? | 18:24 |

| Jordan_U | oal: With just a default install of Ubuntu you may need to hold option at boot to see Ubuntu as an option, though I haven't tried recently enough to be sure one way or another. Either way, you can always install refind later. | 18:27 |
| shashuto1112 | @Beldar yes. I was using it very well on ubuntu n13.10. Then i upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 and these were the problems that started. | 18:28 |

| Rangdo | Beldar: the drive is mounting read only, usually that is because of filesytem error. but i agree it could be permissions, imjust dont think it likely | 18:51 |
| OerHeks | sl33k_, sure, but without updates things might break your system. | 18:51 |
| Babin___ | <ubottu> are you there? | 18:51 |
| OerHeks | !ppa > sl33k_ | 18:51 |
| ubottu | sl33k_, please see my private message | 18:51 |
| Beldar | Babin___, ubottu is not a person. | 18:51 |
| Rangdo | it is since it's just passed the turing test, so we have to admit it :-) | 18:51 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> I have pasted it. Please check | 18:52 |
| Beldar | Babin___, you have to give us the url. | 18:52 |
| sl33k_ | !addppa | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details | 18:52 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar>http://paste.ubuntu.com/7458940/ | 18:52 |
| sl33k_ | !ppa-purge | 18:53 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:53 |
| sl33k_ | How does | differ from > for shell scripting? | 18:53 |
| Beldar | Babin___, I would change the repo in software sources, does this make sense? | 18:54 |
| Rangdo | Babin___: That looks loke the mirror is down, use a different one. | 18:54 |
| Rangdo | broken not down | 18:54 |
| rvdv | Babin___: why you wwant to use a debian repo? | 18:55 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> what to change in a repo? | 18:55 |
| Aegir | Aegir heeft verlaten (Aegir quit) | 18:55 |
| Beldar | Rangdo, Be careful on this channel, if someone is helping another, with no mistakes adding extra info can confuse the end user is all. | 18:55 |
| SoulRaven | hello | 18:56 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> I am trying to install reporting tool called foreman | 18:56 |
| SoulRaven | plase help me, to configure vsftpd | 18:56 |
| Rangdo | Beldar: You still believe that flash disk is a permissions issue? | 18:56 |
| Beldar | Babin___, not in the repo but change the repo | 18:56 |
| SoulRaven | i have try this tutorial, http://alethotech.com/?p=309, but still i can't get to login | 18:57 |
| SoulRaven | and i don't know why | 18:57 |
| SoulRaven | anyone use vsftpd | 18:57 |
| SoulRaven | ? | 18:57 |
| skinux | For some reason, when I bring up dashboard, it has search box, but doesn't show any results | 18:57 |
| Beldar | Rangdo, I don't believe anything without proof. | 18:57 |
| Pencil_ | hello | 18:57 |
| Rangdo | Beldar: in my experience, most times when ubuntu suddenly mounts a usb flash or hard drive in read only mode, it because it's seen a file system error on it. | 18:58 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> I have already added sources echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ wheezy 1.5" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins 1.5" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list | 18:59 |
| bekks | Babin___: Why do you use debian repos on Ubuntu? | 18:59 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> Its my work computer. | 19:00 |
| rvdv | Babin___: wheezy is DEBIAN stable at the moment ... | 19:00 |
| rvdv | Not ununtu | 19:00 |
| Beldar | Rangdo, Dude stop talking to me I don't care of your experience. I am concerned with how you use the channel giving solid advice, not opinions and posting the same or intruding on other help scenarios. ;) | 19:00 |
| bekks | Babin___: Well. Good luck then. | 19:00 |
| rvdv | ubuntu* | 19:00 |
| glitch | Can I start a program on a specific user through /etc/init.d/? | 19:00 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> I have replaced wheezy with trusty | 19:00 |
| glitch | I want to a program to start on boot but not on root | 19:00 |
| Beldar | Babin___, wheezy is debian, not a good idea. | 19:00 |
| Sach_ | Just upgraded to 14.04, but my wireless is not appearing. How do I get it back? | 19:01 |
| pavlos | Babin___, http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.5/quickstart_guide.html use the ubuntu links to install | 19:01 |
| bekks | Babin___: Which is invalid, according to http://deb.theforeman.org/ | 19:01 |
| Beldar | Sach_, run lspci and identify the wifi hardware to the channel. | 19:01 |
| Rangdo | Beldar: I could say the same of you, I think you're more than likely wrong about the USB | 19:02 |
| almagar | hello | 19:03 |
| pavlos | hillary, can you plug another usb stick? does it mount RO or RW? | 19:03 |
| Jordan_U | sl33k_: For basic usage, "|" pipes the output of one command (stdout) to the input of another (stdin), while ">" redirects stdout to a file. "echo hello, world | sed s/hello/howdy/ > /tmp/howdy_world.txt" will first send "hello, world" to sed, which will replace "hello" with "howdy", and then will direct sed's "howdy, world" to /tmp/howdy_world.txt . There is more to it than that, and if you want more detail / a more rigorous ... | 19:03 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: done. It's Broadcom BCM4311. | 19:03 |
| Jordan_U | ... answer please ask in #bash. | 19:03 |
| Beldar | !broadcom > Sach_ | 19:03 |
| ubottu | Sach_, please see my private message | 19:03 |

| sl33k_ | Jordan_U: great answer. I ended up getting an idea on sed as well. thanks! | 19:06 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: that is strange indeed | 19:06 |
| voix | m8 anyone knows how to install cyberghost? | 19:06 |

| Jordan_U | sl33k_: You're welcome :) | 19:06 |
| Beldar | Babin___, PPA's are not supported here, contacting the maintainers, or 3rd party developers is you option. | 19:06 |
| Seramon | hi everyone | 19:06 |
| Beldar | your* | 19:06 |
| Seramon | erm... my terminal window is gone | 19:07 |
| Beldar | Seramon, what does ctrl-alt-t do | 19:07 |
| Seramon | i had uninstall my python | 19:07 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> can you please atleat explain the problem? | 19:07 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: I don't know what you mean by that, I just uninstalled and reinstalled the driver | 19:07 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> is it something to do with my securities and firewall | 19:08 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: grep '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:08 |
| Beldar | Babin___, You have a very messy problem, I can not even come close to a fix. I don't have the patience to help users that I have to explain every single thing multiple times, that is a personal issue is all. | 19:08 |
| vlad_starkov | Question: How can I disable ufw/table to filter inter-bridge traffic? I tried "iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT" but it doesn't help. | 19:09 |
| Babin___ | <Beldar> Thanks for your help. | 19:09 |
| Beldar | Babin___, No problem, If I could help, I would. ;) | 19:10 |
| lifeforms | I accidentally deleted the 'linux-server' package while doing some sed magic to delete old kernels, can I expect badness to happen? | 19:11 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8a49uSgciSMdVd2QUdhelByd2c/edit?usp=sharing this is the error it gives | 19:12 |

| jrivero | quick question about launchpad: What would be the best way of reopening the bug in order to get an stable update? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtar/+bug/1315742 | 19:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1315742 in libtar (Ubuntu) "Segmentation fault on tar_extract_all in 14.04/1.2.20-3" [Undecided,Fix released] | 19:14 |
| rymate1234 | Hey how do I force ubuntu to use a resolution higher than my display? | 19:14 |
| Beldar | lifeforms, Describing the exact install to the channel, might help, if you need more info. I do not have that even installed in the trusty release. | 19:14 |
| Beldar | !xrandr | rymate1234 | 19:14 |
| ubottu | rymate1234: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 19:14 |
| rymate1234 | I have a 1024x600 screen and wish to display in 1024x768 | 19:14 |
| lifeforms | Beldar: thanks, this is 12.04 LTS; I just noticed that re-adding it suggests the new kernel, so I think if I'll do that, I'll be fine :) thanks! | 19:14 |
| Beldar | lifeforms, Cool, it's there to tweak till it bricks, hehe. ;) | 19:15 |
| lifeforms | I don't know if anyone has an account on askubuntu.com that has enough power to edit, but the top answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu-or-free-sp has a very dangerous sed... | 19:15 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: dont know what those slots do | 19:15 |
| lifeforms | the sed command is trying to find all linux kernels older than the current one, but it matches 'linux-server' as well, which is probably not intended... | 19:15 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: any idea how to find out? | 19:16 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: fb0 is apparently the framebuffer drive | 19:16 |
| Beldar | lifeforms, I just use ubuntu tweak for kernels...etc, however I know the cli method to purge the kernels. | 19:16 |
| woof-woof | !remaster | 19:17 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: so thats the real problem now how to solve it | 19:17 |
| Beldar | woof-woof, 3rd party and not running anymore I believe. | 19:17 |
| woof-woof | ? | 19:17 |
| lifeforms | Beldar: looks cool :) this is a server box that I'm experimenting with though | 19:17 |
| Beldar | lifeforms, Ah, if you have no X the terminal is the tool. | 19:18 |
| rymate1234 | Beldar: thanks I'll look into it | 19:18 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: do u have access to a web browser? | 19:18 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: when running the commands for the b43 driver, I get the error: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 19:18 |
| Beldar | rymate1234, xrandr has some options worth trying I believe. | 19:19 |
| Beldar | Sach_, YOu have the software center open, or another install app like synaptic? | 19:19 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: just Terminal and Firefox. | 19:20 |
| deadmund | Sach_: Beldar Sometimes the lock file is left behind if some apt process crashes. If you're sure there is no other package manager running, just delete that file | 19:21 |
| Beldar | Sach_, Did you stop an install while it was running? | 19:21 |
| Beldar | deadmund, Really wow, lol. | 19:22 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: no. but I did force shut down earlier when the upgrade prompted a reboot. The computer froze which is why I did a force shut down | 19:22 |
| BananaManLinux1 | what's the link to make an ubuntu suggestion? | 19:22 |
| deadmund | Beldar: sometimes :) | 19:22 |
| deadmund | Sach_: That is exactly what left the lock file behind :P | 19:22 |
| Beldar | Sach_, Try running sudo apt-get -f install | 19:22 |
| rymate1234 | I got an error http://i.imgur.com/VG9YmkAh.jpg | 19:22 |
| BananaManLinux1 | what's the link to make an ubuntu suggestion? | 19:22 |
| u0xee | hello | 19:22 |
| deadmund | Beldar: I think all the various apt programs check the lock before they do anything (even -f) but I'm not sure. | 19:23 |
| deadmund | u0xee: hi | 19:23 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: it produces the same error | 19:23 |
| shashuto1112 | Sach_ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock remove the lock file then. | 19:23 |
| Pici | !aptfix | 19:24 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:24 |
| Beldar | deadmund, Just for the record I have spent years here, and over 12000 posts on the ubuntu forums, I'm not a noob, nor do I need help here. I started on open source, and have been using it for about 7 years. | 19:24 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: http://pastebin.com/BNkcGvEe | 19:24 |
| genii | BananaManLinux1: There's no link. Just pm the bot something like: factoidname is whatever the factoid should be ...and it gets sent automatically | 19:24 |
| genii | BananaManLinux1: Oh, apologies, mistook "ubuntu" for "ubottu" | 19:24 |
| BananaManLinux1 | lol | 19:25 |
| shashuto1112 | Sach_ also from the cache directory sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 19:25 |
| shashuto1112 | @Beldar hey, can it be solved with deleting the lock file? | 19:25 |
| shashuto1112 | I mean the problem of Sach_ | 19:25 |
| Beldar | shashuto1112, Genrally yes, however we do have a broken update here, so the -f install would be run after the delete. | 19:26 |

| Beldar | Rick_, pastebin the error. | 19:26 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: so how do I get the -f install to run if it gave the error? | 19:27 |
| shashuto1112 | @Beldar Don't mind. Its a a ubuntu related question but where r u from? like country | 19:27 |
| Rangdo | deadmund: please dont let a few idiots put you off contributing :-) | 19:28 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: sorry computer freaked out while trying another solution | 19:29 |
| misingnoglic | did you find anything else I can try? | 19:29 |
| Beldar | Sach_, You might just reboot and see if that clears it, the delete as suggested is okay, before trying the -f install. You mention a upgrade problem and a reboot, finishing that upgrade is the first priority. | 19:29 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: found a page describing different kinds of solution | 19:29 |
| jkrx | misingnoglic: have u tried setting kernel parameter nofb? | 19:29 |
| misingnoglic | I have not, how do I do that | 19:29 |
| Rick_ | gpg --keyserver [name of keyserver] --recv-keys [keyhash] is this command valid in ubuntu? I have a hash keys, it has pub, sub keys there which one is to use | 19:30 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: makes sense. However, every time I try to shut down/reboot, it hangs on the Ubuntu 5 dots just prior to shut down | 19:30 |
| jkrx | u add it at the end of kernel line in grub.conf | 19:30 |

| misingnoglic | jkrx: can you elaborate? | 19:30 |
| Sach_ | OerHeks: no, I dont | 19:31 |
| genii | BananaManLinux1: As for your original question... if you have a suggestion for something related to a specific package in Ubuntu, the usual method is to file a bug report against that package with a title like "Feature Request" or "Wishlist" or similar, then make your case for the change you'd like to have inside the bug report. | 19:31 |
| jkrx | /boot/grub/grub.conf | 19:31 |
| Beldar | Sach_, In this situation for me I ask myself, do I spend the time fixing this or just do a fresh install, time is the key for me. | 19:31 |

| Rick_ | gpg --keyserver [name of keyserver] --recv-keys [keyhash] is this command valid in ubuntu? I have a hash keys, it has pub, sub keys there which one is to use? | 19:32 |
| Sach_ | Beldar: I did a fresh install 70mins ago. Are you suggesting a repeat? | 19:32 |
| Beldar | Sach_, see that aptlock bot info | 19:32 |
| shashuto1112 | Sach_ Try to shutdown from the terminal. It saved me twice. | 19:32 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: I found grub.cfg, is that the same thing? | 19:32 |
| jkrx | ah yea sorry | 19:32 |
| jkrx | cfg is correct | 19:33 |
| Beldar | Sach_, I did not know this was a 70 min fresh install, or do I know much more to be honest. A locked apt is basic stuff and we are unable to even get that done | 19:33 |
| misingnoglic | jkrx: it says i dont have permission to edit that file | 19:34 |
| Beldar | Sach_, try this command from the bot sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a then run a update and then the -f install to start with. | 19:34 |
| misingnoglic | (Also at the top it says don't edit the file if that means anything) | 19:35 |
| Seramon | er... why is it that i can't find my terminal or firefox even though i've just installed it? | 19:35 |

| Seramon | now i just installed firefox but i can't find it | 19:43 |
| Beldar | shashuto1112, No, I'm surprised you are, vlc has most codecs, but have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:43 |
| Pici | utopian: the topic is correct. The Ubuntu IRC team owns ubottu.com | 19:43 |
| DaveyG | Hi all. Wonder if someone could help me out. I would like to be able to run my bash script from any directory within a ubuntu cli. Is this posibnl | 19:43 |

| ubottu | DexterF, please see my private message | 19:46 |
| shashuto1112 | @ Beldar yes i didthe ubunut erstricted-extra. Fine. Thanks. Now i think i should completely go for a fresh installation or look for another player as powerful as vlc | 19:47 |
| designbybeck | I saw on one post to try to change GRUB to your drive like "/dev/sda5" instead of the UUID... Here is what mine looks like: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=71207 | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | Should both of those uuid's be the same? | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | I get a kernel panic currently | 19:48 |
| designbybeck | kernel panic - not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0) | 19:49 |
| Ben64 | designbybeck: when did you start getting that problem, what did you do before | 19:49 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, sudo blkid shows the UUID, not sure of your issue flashing the edit on the grub menu | 19:49 |
| Beldar | flashing=showing* | 19:50 |
| designbybeck | Ben64, this is a HP EliteBook laptop that has been dual booting Linux and Win 7 for a few years | 19:50 |
| misingnoglic | Can anyone else help me? For some reason after I closed my laptop my nvidia graphics card drivers stopped working and now on reboots unity/the dash don't load and ccsm freezes on loading icons | 19:50 |
| designbybeck | Ben64, we just upgrade/clean install everynow and then, so I was going to put her on 14.04, it did have LinuxMint 14KDE on it | 19:50 |
| designbybeck | Ben64, I just did a clean install, had aproblem with grub and nothing would boot, but I fixed that and now windows will boot, but not Ubuntu | 19:51 |
| Ben64 | designbybeck: check the md5 of the iso, re-write it, and reinstall | 19:52 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, Ben64 I've tried most "SOLVED" I could fine on this issue, nothing has seemed to work. I've booted off a Live USB, chroot, ran updates and such, reinstalled grub that way, that was after I had done boot-repare | 19:53 |
| designbybeck | It installed correctly and I've used that ISO on another system Ben64 | 19:53 |
| designbybeck | wouldn't that mean it is working correctly Ben64 | 19:53 |
| Ben64 | if it can't boot i'd have to say it didn't install correctly | 19:53 |
| designbybeck | We've always had lil' odd things with this HP Elitebook, but this sucker is FAST. Did the faster 14.04 install i've seen thus far | 19:54 |
| designbybeck | Ok Ben64 I'll give that a go at this point | 19:54 |
| designbybeck | Now that I know how to fix grub the manual way if I need! ;) spent all morning learning that | 19:55 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, I would agree with Ben64 but they have a bigger skill set by far. I would see if supergrub boots it if it were me, if not follow the others advice. | 19:55 |
| BananaManLinux1 | is there a command to check how long my system has been on it's battery? ubuntu 14.04? | 19:55 |
| designbybeck | Boot-repair works in most all cases I've ever needed, just not today | 19:55 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, You save the bootinfo summary url? | 19:55 |
| === unlike is now known as Guest40444 | ||
| shashuto1112 | BananaManLinux1, No. as far as i know. | 19:56 |
| BananaManLinux1 | powertop shows the watt output and battery time left but not how long it; been on it :( | 19:57 |
| designbybeck | And checksum was correct Beldar Ben64 | 19:57 |
| designbybeck | not at that time Beldar | 19:58 |
| OerHeks | BananaManLinux1, terminal: uptime | 19:58 |
| erle- | is it normal that .dbus in home folder is owned by root? | 19:58 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, Ah, always save that url, that is a lot of pertinent info, if no changes are made after. | 19:58 |
| Ben64 | erle-: no | 19:58 |
| erle- | erle-, it is a new virgin home folder with only unity used | 19:59 |
| BananaManLinux1 | oerheks; does that show all uptime or battery? | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | BananaManLinux1, no, not sure that time is logged somewhere | 19:59 |
| BananaManLinux1 | power but it shows seconds | 20:00 |
| BananaManLinux1 | :/ | 20:00 |
| erle- | Ben64, how to change it? remove? change owner? | 20:00 |
| Ben64 | erle-: you can change owner. and be more careful with what you run with sudo | 20:00 |
| OerHeks | Ben64, in my /home/ it is owned by root:toot too | 20:00 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, on install when setting up the bootloader should go on sda and not sda5 correct? | 20:00 |
| Ben64 | OerHeks: i checked all my computers, they're all owned by my user(s) | 20:00 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, Yes if a msdos mbr set up and sda is the HD. | 20:01 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, yes I believe that would be the case, ok | 20:01 |
| murosai | i need to do some data recovery from a harddrive, any idea how can i search for text pattern on this hard drive? | 20:01 |
| Ben64 | murosai: could do grep, but thats wildly inefficient. | 20:01 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, Never been a got table here right? | 20:02 |
| Beldar | gpt* | 20:02 |
| murosai | well i can't grep because the filesystem is broken | 20:02 |
| murosai | just need something more low level | 20:02 |
| Ben64 | uh, grep doesn't need a filesystem | 20:02 |
| DEADB33F | Is it possible to use different subpixel rendering methods on different displays? | 20:03 |
| designbybeck | don' t think so Beldar | 20:03 |
| Ben64 | murosai: anyway, you should try photorec or something, but text is very difficult to recover | 20:03 |
| DEADB33F | I have one LCD monitor (RGB), one 3LCD projector (seperate R,G,B panels. The default subpixel rendering obviously looks awful on the projector. | 20:03 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, So the install has had a kernel panic since the install? | 20:04 |
| designbybeck | correct Beldar since a new install, and I did notice this the first time I installed, but now I'm getting this again......An attempt to configure apt to install additionhal packages from the CD failed | 20:05 |
| linagee | what is a Utopic Unicorn? | 20:06 |
| llutz | linagee: you'll see in 5 months | 20:06 |
| designbybeck | it is hooked into a ethernet port Beldar and booted from a USB Ubuntu 14.04 64bit | 20:06 |
| linagee | llutz: Utopic is quite an odd adverb | 20:06 |
| linagee | ahhh... "Seeming to originate in utopia" | 20:07 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, you would have to chroot from the cd to affect the install. I would try a lighter install pae free, hehe, like lubuntu, and add the de needed. As suggested if it does not work from the start installing again may be the best option. I have seen good md5summed iso's fail personally. | 20:08 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, is this a bug?... When I tried the Boot-Repair, it took me to the sources.list and said I needed to enable something | 20:08 |
| Joost` | Is there a 'common' method I can use to make my (C++) program recognise ubuntu has woken from suspend? does it get a signal of some sort? | 20:09 |
| shashuto1112 | lineagee, why dont you yourself suggest the name for the upcoming ubuntu versions. Atleast u will not feel its oddness. | 20:09 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, ah..that good ol' pae, I did see something about that when I tried to chroot and run updates on the install I had done previously, It said it couldn't install that linux-image or something | 20:09 |
| llutz | linagee: isn't it an adjective, not an adverb? at least quite common in german-language, but offtopic here | 20:09 |
| linagee | shashuto1112: I tried | 20:09 |
| linagee | llutz: er, adjective, yes | 20:09 |
| utopian | Yes, please update your kernels.There has been many important security updates recently. You can view http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ for more technical information! | 20:10 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, Hard to tell without more detail, you trying to hit the repos from the cd, if so you would tick it off in software sources and run a update. | 20:10 |
| shashuto1112 | lineagee try harder next time. LOL | 20:10 |
| llutz | linagee: waiting for anarchic aardvark... | 20:11 |
| wad | Is there any way to remap a key? shift-space inserts a non-ASCII character, "unbreaking space". Trouble is, when I type fast, I often get those characters. I'd like SHIFT-space to ALWAYS emit a regular space. | 20:12 |
| wad | ASCII 32 please. | 20:13 |
| Beldar | llutz, lol, I will use that in a grad paper somehow. | 20:13 |
| designbybeck | ok how about xubuntu Beldar and then I do the DE? or does it have to be lubuntu? | 20:13 |
| llutz | Beldar: hurry up, 17.10 is coming | 20:15 |
| wad | According to [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1483915] there should be a KEYBOARD->LAYOUT->OPTIONS checkbox that can fix it, but that is an old page. | 20:15 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, No, I believe xubuntu is pae free as well. I thought a install with the pae would not even install in a computer that wont run it though. Seemed like a method to trick you to reinstall, hehe. ;) | 20:15 |
| BananaManLinux1 | erm, sorry but when is the new 14.04 coming? can;t seem to find anything. | 20:15 |
| wad | I can't find that option on my 13.10 | 20:15 |

| Beldar | llutz, May come before the degree, if I ever get there, lol. | 20:16 |
| designbybeck | So Beldar does it need to be 32bit or can i go with 64bit? | 20:16 |
| airstrike | JordanJ2: yes, remove the first word of a line | 20:17 |
| airstrike | Jordan_U: yes, remove the first word of a line | 20:17 |
| airstrike | JordanJ2: sorry, nevermind | 20:17 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, it has 4GB ram | 20:17 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, The computer would have to be 64 bit, depends on your use really, the 64 bit is a bit more busy. | 20:17 |
| morph__ | can anyone verify if my fstab file is ok? | 20:17 |
| morph__ | http://pastebin.com/tnJd8Y5a | 20:17 |
| morph__ | i accidentally over wrote my old one and i wanna make sure this is okay before i restart | 20:17 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, its an i7pro 4GB RAM 200GB SSD | 20:18 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, I use the 64 bit with 3 gigs ram a a dual core older toshiba | 20:18 |
| Beldar | nice set up, I have a ssd as well, that helps | 20:18 |
| Beldar | My toshiba is listed as 32 bit max 2 gigs ram, i's 64 and uses 3 gigs ram | 20:19 |
| designbybeck | yeah it does! ..Ok thanks for the help thus far Beldar , I'll download and try out the other one, and then when I'm ready I juse install ubuntu-unity-desktop ? | 20:19 |
| Beldar | designbybeck, Sure, that is not a pae issue computer that new is all. | 20:20 |

| beefman | anyone gotten php5-fpm to work w/ apache2 on ubuntu 13? | 20:24 |
| Beldar | kchengue, If you have ubuntu all in one partition, no separate home this command trims, sudo fstrim -v / you can set up a cron from the link though. | 20:24 |
| beefman | i'm with this guy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/429598/ubuntu-13-10-install-php-fpm-with-apache-2-4 | 20:25 |

| beefman | apache correctly serves html but whitescreens on php w/ nothing in the error log | 20:25 |
| Beldar | kchengue, Hybrid, this a part ssd and spinning? | 20:25 |
| kchengue | Beldar, yes | 20:26 |

| Beldar | kchengue, Ah, that link is for a fully SSD HD, so I'm not sure on a trim with a hybrid, or if even needed. | 20:26 |

| pikachuza | so more desktop at this point | 20:30 |
| Beldar | pikachuza, Ah, just detail what you can in the form of the question to the channel. | 20:31 |
| irreverant | pikachuza what are you talking about? | 20:31 |
| sudormrf | daftykins, YOU AGAIN! | 20:31 |
| DoYouKnow | how do I get b43 firmware working for 14.04 (the easiest way)? | 20:33 |
| triamore | pikachuza: Wow, the ubuntu SDK docs are really, really bad. | 20:34 |
| DoYouKnow | I can't fricken figure this out | 20:35 |
| DoYouKnow | how many times do you have to change the process? | 20:35 |
| Monotoko | triamore, you're free to contribute | 20:36 |
| triamore | Monotoko: Understood! | 20:36 |
| triamore | Monotoko: My main issue is the question asked by pikachuza interested me, so I am trying to understand the difference between a lens and a scope, and the documentation doesn't appear to actually define how the OS UI is supposed to work (from the user's point of view) hence they don't define exactly what a lens is | 20:39 |
| MannerMan2 | Can I trigger "suspend" from command line? | 20:39 |
| triamore | Monotoko: And this looks like it requires specialised knowledge to document | 20:40 |
| jamesc | MannerMan2: does the command suspend work? | 20:40 |
| pikachuza | triamore: yeah it also looks like lenses are done in python and scopes in C++ only :( | 20:40 |
| DexterF | how do I compile modules for a kernel that is not booted yet before rebootig? | 20:41 |
| pikachuza | triamore: so you got to use two languages to produce something. | 20:41 |
| DexterF | +n | 20:41 |
| DoYouKnow | it locked up my pc when I tried to run the extracted firmwar | 20:41 |
| MannerMan2 | jamesc, klicking suspend in unity does nothing, trying suspend from commandline then | 20:41 |
| bekks | DoYouKnow: you dont run firmware, it gets loaded by a kernel module. | 20:41 |
| BananaManLinux1 | what's the most lightweight ubuntu desktop? | 20:41 |
| OerHeks | triamore, Scopes are search backends for the lenses. | 20:41 |
| triamore | pikachuza: Well that's normal I think these days, especially with "web". You'll need javascript for the browser. | 20:41 |
| DoYouKnow | yes, when I did modprobe b43 my pc hard froze, bekks | 20:41 |
| bekks | So which firmware file did you use then? | 20:42 |
| DoYouKnow | http://bagustris.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr-on-macbook-pro/ | 20:42 |
| DoYouKnow | http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz | 20:42 |
| DoYouKnow | I have a dell xps m1530 | 20:42 |
| triamore | BananaManLinux1: fluxbox or openbox, but most say those are too minimal, and LXDE (Lubuntu) is popular | 20:42 |
| pikachuza | beldar: I suppose my first question is. Where are there docs for developing a lense. Can this be done with html5/javascript? I understand scopes are only c++ a the moment. | 20:42 |
| shtrwlf | Xubuntu is light.. especially with compositing disabled | 20:42 |
| DoYouKnow | but it uses the same chipset | 20:42 |
| BananaManLinux1 | which one would help with laptop battery? | 20:43 |
| BananaManLinux1 | :p | 20:43 |
| MannerMan2 | jamesc, Hm it just gives me a blinking prompt | 20:43 |
| BananaManLinux1 | sorry for all the questions | 20:43 |
| DoYouKnow | but it's really too much work for a livecd | 20:43 |
| bekks | DoYouKnow: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 20:43 |
| DoYouKnow | so I gave up on it at this point | 20:43 |
| MannerMan2 | Guess I have to do it the old fashioned way, GN everyone | 20:43 |
| Beldar | pikachuza, Not sure, never messed around there. | 20:43 |
| triamore | pikachuza: Is there an #ubuntu-dev or #ubuntu-devel? | 20:43 |
| shtrwlf | lubuntu or xubuntu are prob what youre looking for.. turn down brightness and put dark theme /background to save batteries | 20:44 |

| jackbrown | anyone available to help me ? There's a program (transmission remote gui) that uses webbrowser to open folder address instead of the file manager? Does anyone has an idea ho to fix this issue ?'?? | 20:56 |
| k1l_ | !away > vincenzo | 20:56 |
| ubottu | vincenzo, please see my private message | 20:56 |
| Beldar | jackbrown, sounds like a preference issue point it correctly. | 20:56 |
| jackbrown | Beldar: how can I do that? | 20:57 |
| triamore | bekks: Booting is my main issue. I believe it can only easily boot from a mirror. I tried fiddling with it and gave up, and booted off a mirror. | 20:57 |
| Beldar | jackbrown, You have an X or just the cli? | 20:57 |
| Sach | Having trouble getting wireless to work after upgrade to 14.04. Using Broadcom 4311. Can anyone help? | 20:57 |
| triamore | jackbrown: I am familar with transmission daemon. What is the problem? | 20:57 |
| bekks | triamore: Yeah, thats correct for decades now. No need to fiddle with it. | 20:57 |
| jackbrown | triamore: the problem is that the transmission remote gui open file folder using webbrowser instead of using file manager | 20:58 |
| jackbrown | Beldar: an X too | 20:58 |
| triamore | jackbrown: Isn't that what it's supposed to do? | 20:58 |
| jackbrown | triamore: no since it should open folders that contains file that are downloaded | 20:58 |
| Beldar | jackbrown, If you get the transmission gui edit-preferences-downloading if I understand the issue. | 20:59 |
| jackbrown | so It should use a the file manager instead Transfusion | 20:59 |
| jackbrown | Ramona: | 20:59 |
| triamore | jackbrown: So you want a web interface to be able to open a file explorer on a remote machine? There's no way I know of to do that in transmission. You might want to SSH in and use sFTP or remote desktop. | 20:59 |
| jackbrown | triamore: I want to open it via SAMBA sharing using file manager | 21:00 |
| Beldar | Sach, You have been working with the broadcom link, you seem to have found errors. pastebin any with details. | 21:00 |
| Beldar | Sach, to the channel, asking for help is not really usable for us. | 21:00 |
| triamore | jackbrown: So setup SAMBA and mount the download folder. Do that in your nautilus. It's not really to do with transmission. | 21:00 |

| triamore | gusey: But if you deleted your ubuntu partition, you're going to have to reinstall any way, and the install process should fix the boot loader | 22:18 |
| gusey | triamore, yes i've looked at those but it didnt seem to work so now i'm in the process of reinstalling ubuntu | 22:18 |

| triamore | OK I have a problem with Kerbal Space Program. If i switch to desktop or minmise it, it crashes. I think it's quite common for certain games? | 22:23 |
| skinux | triamore: Do you know how to solve Dashboard sometimes having search box, but not showing any results? Or how to solve ALT+TAB switching windows, but menu not showing? | 22:26 |
| triamore | skinux: No, sorry. | 22:27 |
| triamore | skinux: But I am not very good with any of that. There are others here who undoubtedly can fix that. | 22:28 |
| skinux | triamore: If you don't mind me asking...what are you good with? | 22:29 |

| w4|k3r | ^v: I am not sure why that problem of rebooting is plaguing your system | 22:46 |
| w4|k3r | Just try doing this - in the memtest portion : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:47 |
| w4|k3r | This might help, I had a similar issue, but my system was not rebooting | 22:47 |
| w4|k3r | Rather it was freezing | 22:47 |

| peeps[work] | is there a log of what packages have been installed/updated with timestamps? | 22:53 |
| peeps[work] | like if i did a apt-get upgrade today and forgot what it updated, can i review that information | 22:53 |
| Viking667 | peeps[work]: kind of, but not really. Checking /var/log/messages might be enlightening. | 22:54 |
| peeps[work] | i dont think that file has anything to do with apt | 22:55 |
| Viking667 | no, but I note that apt drops messages into the system log when it installs packages | 22:56 |
| Viking667 | so it's either /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog | 22:57 |

| ktk2 | looking for some help figuring out display freg. OOR. | 23:27 |
| ktk2 | Setting res. in monitor.conf sorta works, but tty1-6 are OOR | 23:30 |
| ktk2 | Setting res in GRUB tty1-7 are all OOR | 23:31 |
| robjloranger | elfMobile: it appears you do not have a DNS on your local machine, so the script default to googles DNS servers | 23:31 |
| thag | buen dia | 23:32 |
| thag | aqui saludando | 23:32 |
| thag | :D | 23:32 |
| robjloranger | Deihmos_: not entirely | 23:34 |
| robjloranger | Deihmos_: might want to check out bumblebee https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee | 23:35 |
| ktk2 | So, where's the proper place to set resolution to stop these signal frequency OOR problems? | 23:35 |
| chomwitt_ | in 12.10 i got a message that i can upgrade to 13.10 . can i do it (skipping 13.04 ?) | 23:38 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: how have you set it? | 23:38 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: how have you set it? | 23:39 |
| anon99999 | I installed libsfml-dev using apt-get and g++ can't find the libraries. | 23:39 |
| ktk2 | robjloranger: ha, been booting with a different (borrowed) monitor, then switching. | 23:40 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: oops, sorry. hit two keys. what did you do in grub conf to set it? | 23:40 |
| robjloranger | and what type of monitor is it? the one that isn't working | 23:40 |
| ktk2 | robjloranger: Old. Mitsubishi, 'bout 2001 | 23:41 |
| robjloranger | like CRT? | 23:41 |
| ktk2 | flat crt | 23:41 |
| robjloranger | ok, and the other was an lcd/led? | 23:41 |
| ktk2 | yep | 23:42 |
| robjloranger | ok, you just need to build a custom xorg.conf | 23:42 |
| ktk2 | using monitor.conf works, but tty 1-6 are OOR | 23:42 |
| robjloranger | try using sudo Xorg -configure | 23:42 |
| Deihmos_ | doesn't ubuntu have a log to show why the pc froze | 23:42 |
| ktk2 | allright. | 23:43 |
| ktk2 | can do that | 23:43 |
| onca_ | I suppose it's too late to post this, but the device in question is http://paste.ubuntu.com/7459960/ | 23:43 |
| robjloranger | deihmos_: there are a number of logs available. check first in /var/log/syslog | 23:43 |
| robjloranger | deihmos_: you should also have a log viewer gui, i know there is one in kde | 23:44 |
| robjloranger | deihmos_: try typing log in the dash | 23:44 |
| ktk2 | getting this old relic dell box going has been a chore | 23:44 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: i can imagine, i remember setting up linux boxes 10 or more years ago - it was much harder than new computers | 23:45 |
| ktk2 | robjloranger: this box IS over ten years old :-) | 23:45 |
| ktk2 | I did get a xen pv VM going on it though, just for kicks | 23:46 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: half the time even getting sound or a mouse to work was hell | 23:46 |
| ktk2 | robjloranger: but that's why you do it, right? | 23:47 |
| Random832 | My LCD display only supports 6-bit-per-channel color, and does no dithering? Is there a way to somehow tell programs and/or X11 this, so that they will handle dithering on their own end? | 23:48 |
| Random832 | er ignore the first question mark | 23:48 |
| robjloranger | ktk2: that was why i loved it then, it was challenge | 23:48 |
| Random832 | 64 levels of red, green, and blue - I get noticeable banding in gradients. | 23:48 |
