| hylian | Player: well, i came up lemons. but i launchpad bugged it, so hopefully we will get an answer. thanks for the help! | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Freeder | I finally got my main drive to boot, but it says 'tmp drive not ready or missing' | 00:06 |
| Player | hylian, no problem, sorry we couldn't sort the issue out! if you really want to try out MATE try using a different display manager. | 00:06 |
| Player | not sure if GDM still works or not | 00:06 |
| Freeder | i'm in manual recovery mode... what should I be doing? | 00:06 |
| Player | Freeder, it's not mounting a directory for /tmp/ | 00:06 |
| Freeder | I don't see /tmp listed in df -h | 00:06 |
| Freeder | this is the worst upgrade I've ever gone through, heh | 00:06 |
| Player | Freeder, do ls / and see if there's a folder called tmp | 00:06 |
| Freeder | no clue why all this stuff magically stops working | 00:06 |
| Player | Freeder, how did you upgrade? Was it Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04? | 00:07 |
| Freeder | yes its there | 00:07 |
| Player | hmmm | 00:07 |
| Freeder | 10.04 to 12.04 | 00:07 |
| Player | Freeder, Oh, so very outdated hahah. | 00:07 |
| hylian | Player: i like lightdm. i just wanted to see what improvements their was. I was just using in 12.04. thanks again | 00:07 |
| Freeder | it wasnt when this upgrade path was created | 00:07 |
| Player | Yeah I think the jump from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 was the most extreme. | 00:07 |
| Bashing-om | paperman: Duak booting windows ? Did you try as the advisement directed ? | 00:07 |
| Bashing-om | dual* | 00:07 |
| subhub-nc | quit | 00:07 |
| Freeder | so how should i go about getting /tmp back in there | 00:07 |
| Freeder | its not in fstab... isnt that where tmp gets mounted from? | 00:08 |
| Player | Freeder, check the permissions on the folder | 00:08 |
| Freeder | 777 | 00:08 |
| Player | okay | 00:08 |
| Player | Freeder, /tmp/ isn't mounted for me on my Ubuntu VPS either | 00:09 |
| Player | by that I mean it doesn't show up in df -h | 00:09 |
| Freeder | is it listed in your fstab? | 00:10 |
| Player | Freeder, No. Server's 13.10. | 00:11 |
| paperman | Bashing-om, yes | 00:12 |
| Freeder | ok. so where how do I get /tmp to mount? :) | 00:12 |
| Freeder | s/where/ / | 00:12 |
| Player | Freeder, I may be misreading my fstab wrong. I see a third line that says " | 00:13 |
| Player | none /run/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 | 00:13 |
| Player | " | 00:13 |
| Freeder | thats different | 00:14 |
| Bashing-om | paperman: Loks to be a Windows problem, in that Windows has a lock on the partition - not shut down properly from Windows. What does a Windows file system check report ? | 00:14 |
| Freeder | tmpfs is a way to mount a filesystem in temp memory, iirc | 00:14 |
| Freeder | so thats just a memory partition. I think. | 00:14 |
| Freeder | anyway, not /tmp | 00:14 |
| Player | Freeder, makes sense. | 00:14 |
| Player | I'm trying to find where these things are declared, I think it's an environment variable. | 00:15 |
| Burrito | Player, filesystem mountings are not environment variables | 00:18 |
| Burrito | it's all in /etc/fstab | 00:18 |
| Player | Not /tmp, apparently. | 00:19 |
| Burrito | and the UUIDs are listed under the command blkid | 00:19 |
| Burrito | that means it's not mounted, but a conventional folder. IIRC... | 00:19 |
| Burrito | Which is weird | 00:19 |
| Burrito | Because obviously Freeder's system is trying to mount /tmp/ | 00:19 |
| Freeder | well, ubuntu knows it needs it | 00:20 |
| Freeder | and its not there | 00:20 |
| Freeder | and iirc, its mounted via fstab | 00:20 |
| Freeder | but thats an assumption | 00:20 |
| Freeder | and I don't see it listed in my fstab | 00:20 |
| cast | /tmp can be a directory under /, surely? | 00:20 |
| Burrito | yes | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: Could you please give a summary of your problem again? | 00:20 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| Burrito | Freeder, are you sure you're looking at the right /etc/fstab file? I've made the mistake before where I modified the /etc/fstab file of the live system I was fixing my real system from... instead of the actual file :P | 00:21 |
| Freeder | Booting ubuntu, it says "the disk drive for /tmp is not ready or present" | 00:21 |
| Freeder | something similar to that | 00:21 |
| Player | Burrito, he's in recovery mode. | 00:21 |
| Burrito | ah | 00:22 |
| Freeder | and gives me the option to wait, or manual repair, which drops me into what looks like a recovery shell, perhaps | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: Please pastebin your /etc/fstab . | 00:22 |
| Freeder | No internet there :P | 00:22 |
| Freeder | but I can tell you there's no line mentioning /tmp in it | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: sneakernet. | 00:22 |
| Freeder | I don't know how you want me to do that, short of retyping it | 00:23 |
| Burrito | Maybe it's a permissions thing...? http://tech.enekochan.com/2014/03/20/ubuntu-fix-the-disk-drive-for-tmp-is-not-ready-yet-or-not-present/ | 00:23 |
| Player | Freeder, are you usnig the machine directly or SSH'd to it? | 00:24 |
| Freeder | Burrito, its 777 | 00:24 |
| Freeder | direct connect | 00:24 |
| Player | Ah, okay. | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: It looks like often on Ubuntu 12.04 that can be a spurious message: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1091792 | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1091792 in mountall (Ubuntu Quantal) "The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present" [Low,Triaged] | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: What happens if you just wait? | 00:26 |
| Player | Did that bug ever get fixed, or has it just not occured in any of the releases since? | 00:26 |
| Freeder | I waited about 3 minutes and nothing happened | 00:26 |
| Freeder | I just rebooted a minute ago, we can see what happens | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | Player: It was fixed in 13.04 and up. | 00:27 |
| Player | Jordan_U, thanks | 00:27 |
| Player | Freeder, doesn't the prompt give you the option to skip? I don't think it would boot but still..? | 00:27 |
| Player | Freeder, or are we somehow thinking of different error prompts? | 00:28 |
| Freeder | Jordan_U: when it says spurious, does that imply I just have to wait longer, or just keep rebooting until it goes away? | 00:28 |
| Freeder | or S to skip mounting | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | Player: Note that the bug that was fixed was incorrectly warning when nothing is wrong. If something is actually wrong (which, since waiting doesn't allow booting to continue, is seems is the case) then you're hitting a different bug. It's also possible that you're hitting that bug and another completely unrelated one, i.e. your booting problem has nothing to do with the spurious message about /tmp/. | 00:28 |
| Freeder | Player, yes, there's a skip option | 00:28 |
| Freeder | Jordan_U: can you confirm that tmp is or is not mounted via fstab? | 00:29 |
| Freeder | If it is, I have no /tmp entry line | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: If there is no entry for /tmp/ in your /etc/fstab then it's just a normal directory. | 00:30 |
| Player | Well the article Burrito linked said that "explicitly adding the /tmp to fstab solves the problem" and also gives commands to delete and remake the /tmp folder. | 00:30 |
| Freeder | would that be a cause then? | 00:30 |
| Player | Freeder, if you don't have "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0" in your fstab then yes. | 00:31 |
| Player | I believe so. | 00:31 |
| Freeder | Plasmastar, I believe that does the ram-mount again | 00:31 |
| Freeder | Player*' | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: What would be a cause of boot failing, or what would be a cause of that message being shown? | 00:31 |
| Freeder | Jordan_U: so I'm sitting here staring at this screen, saying its not ready or present. What should I do? I can skip, or manual recovery | 00:31 |
| ahmadgbg | Hi guys, i have a ubuntu server and i wonder what is the best way to back it up? NAS with UPS? | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | Freeder: Try skip, see what happens. | 00:32 |
| Player | Freeder, try skipping, if you can boot then it's the bug Jordan_U mentioned above. | 00:32 |
| vaskaloidis | Hey I keep getting an error with VSFTP saying incorrect username or password - I am using local logons and the credentials are correct.. any ideas? | 00:32 |
| Player | also, Freeder, yeah but that article says it fixed the issue and the comments suggest it works so worth a shot? | 00:32 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, where are the logins kept? | 00:33 |
| vaskaloidis | local ubuntu system logons | 00:33 |
| vaskaloidis | added withthe Adduser command, Player | 00:33 |
| vaskaloidis | So i am assuming the /etc/passwd file Player… | 00:34 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, did you set $HOME folders for these accounts? | 00:34 |
| vaskaloidis | I executed a usermod -d command for one of the users, I set the directory to /var/www/hiswebsite/ | 00:35 |
| vaskaloidis | if thats what u mean Player | 00:35 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, just that one? and you can't log into that one? | 00:36 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, did you add him to any groups? | 00:36 |
| vaskaloidis | yes and I cant login with any accounts - even my admin account - didnt add him to any groups Player | 00:36 |
| vaskaloidis | Player should I add him to any groups? | 00:36 |
| Freeder | ok, it looks to be up ok | 00:38 |
| Freeder | Skip did the trick | 00:38 |

| Freeder | Where is 'history' in software center ? | 00:43 |

| Freeder | reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2001421 | 00:44 |
| Freeder | which message, Player? | 00:44 |
| vaskaloidis | Its ubuntu Server Player | 00:44 |
| Player | Freeder, the one about /tmp | 00:44 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, I know, but there are default groups assigned to user accounts when you make them through GUI in Ubuntu desktop. I actually need to know what those are too since I'm setting up users on my own Ubuntu server. | 00:45 |
| Freeder | Yes, it still popped up, but i hit skip | 00:45 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, you can still log in as root, right? | 00:45 |
| Freeder | it booted | 00:45 |
| vaskaloidis | not into FTP - it says everybodys username and passwords are incorrect | 00:45 |
| Player | Freeder, awesome, if you want to get rid of the message I'd try doing what that site suggested and add /tmp to fstab as tmpfs | 00:45 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, I think I know what you're problem is, FTP logins=/=UNIX user logins | 00:46 |
| vaskaloidis | you can allow it in VSFTP config | 00:46 |
| Player | vaskaloidis, really? hmm, did you say that you could or could not log into the accounts you made in the CLI? | 00:47 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone a very naive question. What does one need to do as a client to connect to another person's network via vpn ? | 01:01 |
| Vivekananda | is there a guide to this ? I want to log in virtually | 01:02 |
| kg-irc | Vivekananda: Are you using OpenVPN or something else? | 01:02 |
| Vivekananda | what I know is the other guy has an asus router and is looking into it to set up vpn. Are there other ways of logging in besides vpn ? where can I read up ? I believe I used to do an ssh via cli and get the forwarded X on my system but that is all I knew but would | 01:03 |
| Vivekananda | like to learn more | 01:03 |
| Player | bluezone, execute shell commands that do what? | 01:04 |
| Player | install the program (assuming it's a program)? | 01:04 |
| bluezone | Player, yeah | 01:04 |
| bluezone | basically it need to modify a config file and whatnot | 01:05 |
| kg-irc | Vivekananda: Find out the model number and download the manual for that router if you are trying to figure out how to configure it. | 01:05 |
| bluezone | the dependencies are taken care of by one of those files in debian/ | 01:05 |
| Vivekananda | kg-irc: I know but before I do that I want to know in general , what are they ways to connect to a different remote computer in general | 01:05 |
| kg-irc | Vivekananda: "In general", SSH, VPN are both common. You can tunnel traffic over both. https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html | 01:06 |
| Vivekananda | and also how would I set up such a network If I wanted to and what are the things I would need besides a router . 1. a static ip maybe 2 . pay money to the isp or something similar .. 3 . a deployed server perhaps ? | 01:07 |
| bluezone | Vivekananda, i'm actually writing a GUI for ssh tunneling not sure if you need :P it's still experimental though | 01:07 |
| kg-irc | Vivekananda: Its involved enough you really need to read a manual if you want to setup a VPN. For routing, you can use something like this: http://www.noip.com/free/ | 01:08 |

| Player | bluezone, sorry I stepped away by a minute, I've done this before it's just inconsistent. | 01:09 |
| Player | bluezone, forgive me if my terminology is off, you want to write an installscript that's run when dpkg processes the file with the -i argument, I can't remember if there had to be something special about the script or if you just declared it when packing the deb.. give me a few minutes | 01:10 |
| bluezone | Player, sure that's what i want to do, thanks in advance for the help :) | 01:10 |

| Player | I don't know how to do much in terms of drivers, I've only messed with printers and video. Sorry! D: | 01:11 |
| Vivekananda | kg-irc: okay so I will try to read up a manual but I just want to make sure I have all the ingredients eg a static ip ( needs to be bought) and stuff | 01:12 |
| Player | Freeder, I think you could try seeing if there's upgraded drivers for the NIC? I mean, does it have an NIC? | 01:12 |
| Player | Freeder, I never asked, is this a VPS? | 01:12 |

| Player | elfMobile, x86_64 or x86, what are you trying to run? | 01:13 |
| Player | bluezone, did a little bit of looking around and someone says you can set up a script that'll run post-install. call it "postinst" and put it in the debian directory, then pack your .deb | 01:14 |
| sadbox | I created an account to try and fix a problem with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaWiki <-- that page | 01:14 |
| Player | bluezone, I'm not sure if you need these commands to run on install or if it's okay to wait until it's installed, however.. | 01:14 |
| sadbox | but it says "Immutable page" at the top | 01:14 |
| elfMobile | Player,I'm on 64 bit. I'm trying to run this... https://sealswithclubs.eu/pc-client/ | 01:15 |
| sadbox | and it looks like the last edit was in 2012 | 01:15 |
| elfMobile | Player, they have a Linux port | 01:15 |
| Player | elfMobile, I think you're missing 32-bit libraries. | 01:15 |
| bluezone | Player, it's fine after install, basically the install just moves the python scripts, and then my setup.py just modifies a config file | 01:15 |
| bluezone | i can try this | 01:15 |
| bluezone | postinst.sh? | 01:15 |
| Player | bluezone, okay, if the info I relayed was at all relevant than give it a shot | 01:15 |
| Player | bluezone, the guy just said "postinst" | 01:15 |
| Player | bluezone, no extension, so maybe you should declare an interpreter at the top (i.e. #!/bin/bash) | 01:16 |
| bluezone | ok | 01:16 |
| Player | and make sure it has X permissions | 01:16 |

My friend has set up the vpn and given me a password. What info do I need from him in order to connect to his vpn | 01:17 |
| Burrito | Also having the extension .sh helps, IMO. Just for personal maintenance | 01:17 |
| kg-irc | Vivekananda: I never said you were afraid of reading. The ubuntu OpenVPN guide is over here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN#Configuring_the_Client but Idk anything about Asus routers or what VPN setups they have. | 01:18 |

| Player | bluezone, dpkg has to be run as root in order to install a .deb, so yes. garunteed it'll run as root | 01:23 |
| elfMobile | What leads Player to believe that this is a 32/64 problem? | 01:23 |
| Player | elfMobile, I wasn't paying attention when you said you downloaded the 64-bit version, sorry. I thought it was a multiarch issue because of the missing library, let me do some digging.. | 01:24 |

| bluezone | Player, postinst seems to fail getting root access (as if the install hasnt finished yet and it's still locked): pastebin.com/A1VyGgSG | 01:29 |
| Player | I believe you can specify directories with that. | 01:29 |
| Pencil_ | rsync? | 01:29 |
| Player | (not sure if this is up to date) http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-use-rsync-transfer-mirror-files-directories.html | 01:29 |
| Player | (pretty sure it is) | 01:29 |
| Vivekananda | daftykins: the idea just recently became a need when 1. I have to log into a vpn created by another user but I dont how to do it and what info I need from him to do it. 2. If I want to set up a server on my computer to host a site ( just practice) what do I need to know to be able to do it | 01:29 |
| Player | bluezone, what commands are you running specifically? could you put the contents of postinst on pastebin.ubuntu.com ? (or normal pastebin works too) | 01:31 |
| bluezone | Player, postinst file: http://bpaste.net/show/nBvZ1vOR5ycgHLCZDUPx/ | 01:32 |
| bluezone | Player, line 79 i actually don't need maybe that's what is causing the problems | 01:33 |
| bluezone | i already listed the dependencies | 01:33 |
| Player | elfMobile, what do those arguments do? why did you specify 12.04? didn't you say it supports 13.10? | 01:33 |
| Player | bluezone, if it's running additional dpkg commands then there's your problem. | 01:34 |
| Player | bluezone, just checked line 79, I'm fairly certain that that's the issue. | 01:34 |
| Freeder | anyone familiar with mdadm? | 01:34 |
| Player | I don't know what that is. | 01:34 |
| elfMobile | Player, what arguments? | 01:35 |
| Freeder | My raid is now showing up as /dev/md127 , instead of md0 | 01:35 |
| Freeder | this seems to be a known problem now, but want to understand it a little more | 01:35 |
| xtbman | hey, I'm using 13.10, and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to 14.04. I said yes, and twice now it's given me an error saying "System program problem detected." Any idea what could be causing this? | 01:35 |
| Player | elfMobile, you ran ./swc_client-Linux\ v0.2.18\ Ubuntu-12.04-x86_64 | 01:35 |
| Player | elfMobile, does the executable name have spaces in it? | 01:35 |
| Pencil_ | I plugged in a brand new thumb drive and it shows on the launcher but I can't dbl click it. | 01:36 |
| Player | elfMobile, it looks like those libs come with the download, but not being loaded (maybe the program assumes they're in the system path) | 01:36 |
| Burrito | Player, the name does have spaces in it | 01:37 |
| Burrito | you have to escape spaces with \ if you don't quote them | 01:37 |
| Burrito | so yeah | 01:37 |
| zacarias | Hi! Is soeone familiar with fixing a bricked Seagate 7200.11 (a common problem, apparently) or with using GtkTerm? | 01:38 |
| sadbox | Could anyone help me correct an "immutable" page on on the community site? | 01:38 |
| Player | elfMobile, Uhm, may not work but try running it in quotes, and maybe your question earlier was valid (should it need to run as root) | 01:38 |
| daftykins | zacarias: a bricked hard disk wouldn't really have a chance of coming back from being a brick. what is up with it exactly? | 01:38 |
| elfMobile | Player, I copied them to system dir as root. Though I've never had a problem using LD_LIBRARY_PATH before | 01:38 |
| bluezone | EUREKA! | 01:39 |
| bluezone | Player, bingo! | 01:39 |
| qwdqas | hi, if you type a youtube link which is accessed from your favorites playlist (and included in link url, but private list) do you see the playlist ? | 01:39 |
| qwdqas | or only the video | 01:39 |
| elfMobile | Player, after copying libicui18n it complained about libicuuc then libicudata | 01:39 |
| elfMobile | ... now it doesn't complain about anything... just segfaults | 01:39 |
| Player | elfMobile, then you have a dependency mess | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | xtbman: Does terminal commnads -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- run clean ? | 01:39 |
| Player | bluezone, it worked? | 01:39 |
| asarch | What does it mean that a logical volume partition is the type "linear" and is it ok to use it? | 01:40 |
| Burrito | <Player> elfMobile, then you have a dependency mess <-- I don't think this is the case | 01:40 |
| bluezone | Player, yeah, now do you know how to demote myself from root and return back to the normal user? so that i can write to the .bashrc file properly (otherwise i don't know how to get the username) | 01:40 |
| Player | qwdqas, I don't think you would see either if the playlist was private, unlisted would show up though. Wrong channel btw. | 01:40 |
| bluezone | Thanks for the help ^_^ | 01:40 |
| qwdqas | Player: unlisted ? | 01:40 |
| Burrito | elfMobile, Player, I think it's looking for something that your distro version doesn't have. It does say that it's an alpha version, and all. | 01:41 |
| * elfMobile thinks about running 12.04 within Docker. Wonder how that would work with X | 01:41 | |
| qwdqas | and sorry mate, which channel could i try | 01:41 |
| Player | qwdqas, I haven't managed YT playlists but you can set videos to unlisted. they don't show up in search results but they're visible if they're linked to but I'm not sure if playlists have these same options | 01:41 |
| Player | qwdqas, maybe a channel related to YouTube? :p | 01:41 |
| elfMobile | cool how you can essentially run Ubuntu 12.04 within Docker on a 14.04 host. Haven't tried anything as advanced as trying to run a GUI app though. | 01:41 |
| elfMobile | thanks for hte help guys... gotta run | 01:42 |
| Vivekananda | I am trying to follow instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 01:42 |
| Burrito | bluezone, I use 'sudo -s' in terminal to get into root, and then 'exit' to get out. | 01:42 |
| zacarias | daftykins: apparently, when a Seagate 7200.11 isn't recognized by the BIOS, it's a common problem with the PCB firmware. There are lots of tutorials about how to fix it, incliding for Linux. Check it here: http://elabz.com/repairning-seagate-7200-11-drive-on-a-ubuntu-success-story/ But I'm having some trouble when it comes to connecting the drive to GtkTerm. | 01:42 |
| bluezone | Yeah that's what i have here too, will test it now ^_^ | 01:42 |
| Player | bluezone, what does the script do since it can't go back to normal user? | 01:42 |
| Vivekananda | ubuntu 12.04. dont I have network manager installed by default ? Also when trying to connect to vpn i lost my wired interenet. I am new to this and dont know if this should happen or if I am doing something wrong | 01:42 |
| bluezone | Player, well i removed the part of the script but it would crash because it would try to open('/home/root/.bashrc') :P | 01:43 |
| Player | bluezone, I'm not sure. there could be another method of getting the username/home folder | 01:43 |
| bluezone | Player, Burrito says i can just type exit i'll test now and lyk | 01:44 |
| Burrito | bluezone, if you used some other method to get to root, I don't think it will work | 01:44 |
| Player | not sure if that'll work but worth a try | 01:44 |
| Freeder | anyone familiar with mdadm? My raid is now showing up as /dev/md127 , instead of md0. this seems to be a known problem now, but want to understand it a little more | 01:45 |
| sadbox | Does someone maybe know how to get in touch with a moderator for the community wiki? | 01:46 |
| daftykins | sadbox: no | 01:46 |
| daftykins | sadbox: surely there's an info page? | 01:47 |
| Burrito | They have a mailing list and an identi.ca account. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Contact | 01:47 |
| Burrito | sadbox, ^ | 01:47 |
| sadbox | Burrito: ty sir | 01:48 |
| sadbox | daftykins: Couldn't find anything on the wiki, nothing obvious at least =P | 01:48 |
| Burrito | had* an identi.ca account :< | 01:48 |
| Burrito | "Cannot GET /group/ubuntudocs" | 01:48 |
| qin_ | sadbox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil | 01:48 |
| zacarias | does anyone have any experience with using GtkTerm? | 01:53 |
| bluezone | Player, Burrito www.pastebin.com/4LH3aGkv doesn't seem to work, ah well... hmm | 01:53 |
| oem | apt seems to be looking for a Packages file on my 14.04 iso mount, but it only has Packages.gz | 01:54 |
| Pencil_ | \quit | 01:54 |
| Player | bluezone, I wanted to suggest maybe chainloading another script that wouldn't keep dpkg from closing (yet continue to run commands) but I'm still not sure how you would descend it from root priviliges. | 01:55 |
| Player | oem, what are you trying to achieve? | 01:55 |
| bluezone | i think i'm going to just make a launcher for it or something at this point hehe | 01:56 |
| bluezone | this packaging stuff feels too much like black magic | 01:56 |
| oem | Player, I've added a mount of this ISO as an apt source and am trying to update, but it just gets ignored | 01:56 |
| oem | Player, when I use apt-cdrom add, that's when I get the message about being unable to find Packages files | 01:57 |
| oem | Player: very much like this situation it seems https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1027801 | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1027801 in apt (Ubuntu) "Packages.gz not found because instead searching for Packages only" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 01:57 |
| Player | oem, are you trying to upgrade from a previous Ubuntu release? | 01:57 |
| oem | Player, yup | 01:58 |
| oem | 12.04 -> 14.04 | 01:58 |
| oem | I was hoping to avoid redownloading everything | 01:58 |
| Panda67 | Having trouble with Ubuntu 13.10 and VirtualBox 4.2 | 01:59 |
| Player | Panda67, please elaborate | 02:00 |
| holstein | !virtualbox | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 02:00 |
| Flannel | oem: The alternate CD is no-more, as such, I don't believe there's any ISO that will allow you to do an upgrade. | 02:00 |
| Player | Flannel, there's still options in 14.04 to use a CD as a software source? | 02:01 |
| Panda67 | Networking... I tried NAT and Bridged. | 02:01 |
| oem | Flannel: I can't use the 14.04 iso as an apt source to upgrade from? | 02:01 |
| Panda67 | Player: Networking... I tried NAT and Bridged. | 02:01 |
| Flannel | Player: yes, even the old desktop ISOs had *some* (additional) packages on the CD. | 02:01 |
| Beldar | oem, This a wubi install, the bug you show is? | 02:01 |
| Flannel | oem: I don't believe so, no. | 02:01 |
| holstein | Panda67: with what as guest and host? | 02:01 |
| Player | Flannel, ah. They'd be available in the repos though, wouldn't they? | 02:02 |
| oem | Flannel, it's not a wubi install, it just seems a lot like the same bug | 02:02 |
| Player | oem, well, as Flannel said it doesn't seem like you can upgrade with a CD anymore.. unfortunately. | 02:02 |
| oem | bummer | 02:02 |
| oem | I will just add the trusty sources from online and redownload | 02:02 |
| Flannel | Player: yes, but it had things you might need in order to get internet (historically, including build-essential, etc) | 02:02 |
| oem | thanks for the help | 02:03 |
| Flannel | oem: Actually, which ISO did you grab? | 02:03 |
| Player | oem, but I do recall there being an option in the Ubiquity installer (yes, from the CD) that would allow you to upgrade that way. | 02:03 |
| Player | Flannel, aahh, thanks for re-iterating. That'll come in handy. | 02:03 |
| oem | I mean, I have internet, so I should still be able to get the extra packages, I just wanted to get the ones that were on the CD without downloading | 02:03 |
| oem | I grabbed the big 64 bit one | 02:03 |
| Panda67 | Player: Ubuntu 13.10 both | 02:03 |
| Flannel | Player: but I look at the manifest, and I see a number of package files, so maybe it is expanded now | 02:03 |
| Flannel | oem: desktop? | 02:04 |
| oem | yup | 02:04 |
| Flannel | Player: oh wait, sorry, I got confused, manifest, not list. | 02:04 |
| Player | oem, I would just try running the standard ubiquity installer off the CD, and if you get to partitioning with no option for upgrading vs. complete reformat then proceed with adding the trusty repos | 02:04 |
| Flannel | oem: Yeah, that has maybe a dozen packages in it. Not what you're going to want. | 02:04 |
| oem | ahh, okay I see | 02:04 |
| Flannel | http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.list | 02:05 |
| ubuntu_n00b | hello, i am running 14.04 amd64 unity and am having an issue with chromium. it appears that menus (drop down within pages and right click context) are not working | 02:05 |
| Flannel | The server CD would've been a better choice (but still, wouldn't include everything, so you'd still need the internet, which means as soon as the packages on the CD were out of date, you'd download "everything" from the internet anyway) | 02:05 |
| tpw_rules | this might be a terrible idea, but can i transition my 32 bit system to 64 bit? i installed the 32 bit os a long time ago and i'm now realizing that was a stupid decision | 02:06 |
| holstein | !Mini | 02:06 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:06 |
| holstein | ^ you can get the 14.04 mini iso and only download what you want, in a fresh install, if saving bandwidth is the goal | 02:06 |
| xangua | tpw_rules: backup your important files and reinstall | 02:06 |
| Flannel | holstein: That's not going to help with an upgrade ;) | 02:06 |
| tpw_rules | xangua: that's what i was expecting. oh well... | 02:07 |
| Panda67 | Player: I fixed it before but I documented it poorly. | 02:07 |
| oem | Flannel: I see, this all makes sense now. The ISOs don't have quite enough packages to constitute a full upgrade, then once you do get a source with all the packages, it'll need to get all the latest dependencies anyway | 02:07 |
| Player | ubuntu_n00b, does this happen in any other program? | 02:07 |
| oem | thanks again | 02:07 |
| holstein | Flannel: thats why i added "if saving bandwidth is the goal".. agreeing with what you state, that the bandwidth gets used anyway | 02:07 |
| ubuntu_n00b | no | 02:07 |
| holstein | Flannel: if upgrade is the goal, then the upgrade button is the one to press | 02:07 |
| ubuntu_n00b | menus work perfectly in FF | 02:08 |
| Flannel | oem: If you're worried about downloading packages because you're data limited and doing multiple computers, consider something like apt-proxy for your network. | 02:08 |
| Flannel | (and consider it anyway, not just for upgrades) | 02:08 |
| Player | tpw_rules, No you can't, sorry. I was in the same situation when 12.04 LTS came out, I installed x86 because I thought there were complications with 32-bit programs on 64-bit, and I waited until 14.04 beta to upgrade. Tl;dr, no you'll have to install 100% from scratch. :< | 02:08 |
| ubuntu_n00b | but in chromium they are either blank, zoomed in too far and unreadable and are always scrollable | 02:08 |
| holstein | ubuntu_n00b: try as guest.. if it works, remove the config for chromium from your users config | 02:09 |
| Player | Panda67, maybe the virtualbox has guest-additions software? | 02:09 |
| oem | Flannel: nah, I'm just lazy or something, which means I try to take "shortcuts" which sometimes turn into longcuts | 02:09 |
| oem | but i learn things along the way | 02:09 |
| Flannel | oem: That's the best way to learn, yes. | 02:09 |
| Player | Panda67, does your motherboard support hardware virtualization? | 02:09 |
| Panda67 | Player: I aready installed. | 02:09 |
| Panda67 | Player: Yes, I turned it on. | 02:10 |
| Vivekananda | heey everyone. I try to connect to vpn and I use an ip without https as the gateway . ie in the space for gateway I put 193.134.23.23 without any https . I then use the username and passoword and then when I try to connect it says connection established but I loose internet :(. ubuntu 12.04 | 02:10 |
| Vivekananda | what am I doing wrong ? | 02:11 |
| Panda67 | Player: I've been playing with different OS's for the past 3 days | 02:11 |
| zacts | hi how can I disable all mouse gestures systemwide? | 02:11 |
| Vivekananda | Also what happens right after a vpn connection ? Should i see a desktop window pop up for the remote computer or not ? | 02:11 |
| zacts | I use i3wm. | 02:11 |
| Player | Panda67, I'm out of ideas, best I can suggest is play with the virtualbox's settings. If you didn't delete an image that networking worked on then look at it's settings and see if anything's different. | 02:12 |
| Panda67 | sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 02:12 |
| Player | Panda67, But I'm not sure if it's a virtualized hardware configuration issue, which it might be. | 02:12 |
| Panda67 | This was part of what I did before in the Host Terminal | 02:12 |
| Panda67 | Player: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 02:13 |
| Panda67 | Player: This was part of what I did before in the Host Terminal | 02:13 |
| Panda67 | Player: But I got a file/output and piped it to grep to find the right eth0/eth1/eth2/etc | 02:14 |
| Player | Panda67, Not sure how that could fix the issue, the comments in the file state that changes would be lost. | 02:14 |
| Panda67 | I don't remember the grep command | 02:14 |
| Player | Panda67, it sounds like it's not defaulting to the right adapter | 02:14 |
| Player | Panda67, grep is a passive command, did you get information from this file that you used to configure something elsewhere? | 02:15 |
| Vivekananda | anyone care to comment | 02:15 |
| Panda67 | I tried uninstalling network-manager and reinstalling | 02:15 |
| Panda67 | Player: I tried uninstalling network-manager and reinstalling | 02:15 |
| Panda67 | Player: that was a terrible idea | 02:15 |
| Player | Panda67, I can imagine. | 02:15 |
| Panda67 | Player: i ended up reinstalling the OS cuz I couldn't apt-get | 02:15 |
| Panda67 | Player: Yeah, I think I grepped for the 'eth?' and then I replaced the current eth0 with 'eth?'' | 02:17 |
| holstein | Panda67: you shouldnt need to | 02:17 |
| Player | Panda67, and you're certain the solution can't be found in the virtualbox's settings? | 02:18 |
| holstein | Panda67: i never address the connectivity of the guest like that on the host's config files | 02:18 |
| zombu2 | anyone any idea on how to configure channel bonding on multiple nics? | 02:19 |
| Panda67 | Maybe Host-Only Adapter but I'm clueless on configuration and it seems like overkill | 02:19 |
| holstein | Panda67: i just try them all.. in the vbox config, and use what meets my needs best | 02:19 |
| Panda67 | holstein: the gui or cli? | 02:19 |
| Player | holstein, Wait, he was changing those settings on the host? I thought it was on the guest. | 02:20 |
| holstein | Panda67: i have never addressed connectivity like that in anything other than the vbox settings | 02:20 |
| holstein | Player: i read host.. thats why i piped up about it.. | 02:20 |
| Player | holstein, ah my bad, yeah Panda67 don't trouble shoot that anywhere other than vbox settings unless you couldn't fix it in vbox settings. | 02:21 |
| Panda67 | holstein: Should I focus on NAT or Bridged Adapter? | 02:21 |
| Panda67 | Player: Okay | 02:22 |
| Panda67 | Player: I understand | 02:22 |
| Player | Panda67, NAT has always worked for me. | 02:22 |
| holstein | Panda67: choose the one that fits your needs, and focus on it | 02:22 |
| Panda67 | Bridged Adapter only has eth0 and wlan0 | 02:22 |
| holstein | Panda67: the default is where i would start | 02:22 |
| Panda67 | NAT doesn't work at all for me. | 02:22 |
| holstein | Panda67: sure.. why? it should work out of the box | 02:23 |
| holstein | Panda67: thats where i would start.. | 02:23 |
| Panda67 | With Ubuntu 12.10 as host NAT will work for me but 13.04/13.10/and14.04LTS is a no go. | 02:23 |
| Player | Panda67, http://askubuntu.com/questions/216865/vitualbox-nat-stopped-working-after-ubuntu-upgrade-to-12-10 | 02:24 |
| Panda67 | I got Bridged Adapter to work somehow but I had to reinstall the OS and lost the settings | 02:24 |
| Player | states that VirtualBox uses /etc/resolv.conf on the host to map dns>dhcp | 02:24 |
| holstein | Panda67: are you using the vbox from the repos? | 02:24 |
| Vivekananda | someone have any comments for me ? | 02:25 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: regarding? | 02:25 |
| Panda67 | echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list | 02:25 |

| ubottu | Vivekananda: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 02:26 |
| holstein | Panda67: you can try the repo one.. the default one | 02:27 |
| Vivekananda | hey holstein howdy. Three questions about connecting to remote vpn. 1. I used just the ip ( ie xxx.xxx.xx.xx ) for the 'gateway' 2. As soon as I click connect to vpn I loose internet . 3. Should I see a window pop up displaying the remote computer right after connection established ? or what should I see ? | 02:27 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: refer to the documentation. try and confirm your credentials and settings | 02:28 |
| Panda67 | holstein: Do you use 4.2 or 4.3? | 02:28 |
| holstein | Panda67: i just sudo apt-get the default.. and use it.. | 02:28 |
| Panda67 | holstein: Okay | 02:28 |
| holstein | Panda67: TBH, i dont recall what all versions.. but, the networking has always just worked out of the box | 02:28 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: I am trying that but the biggest issue is why does my internet disconnect on tryin a vpn connection ? | 02:29 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: i dont know, and if it is your internet disconnecting, that will bre independent of the operating system | 02:30 |
| holstein | will be* | 02:30 |
| Panda67 | Player: Thank you =) | 02:30 |
| Panda67 | holstein: Thank you =) | 02:30 |
| Player | Panda67, You got it working? Nice! | 02:30 |

| kanhiya | hi all, i am using 14.04 and i want to connect my android phone v 4.4.2 to ubuntu's hotspot . But My phone is not detecting wireless network created by Ubuntu. i want to share my pc's internet connection with my andorid phone using wifi. How to do that in Ubuntu | 02:41 |
| holstein | kanhiya: i just connect them both to my wireless router.. is that not an option? | 02:42 |
| Player | holstein, sorry, I thought it was another desktop environment for some reason (I need a break) | 02:42 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: I got sent vpn server settings from the other guy and the username password is correct in the screenshot and he has switched on PPTP . I wonder if there is something else he needs to do . I am trying to connect via phone and also laptop and none work | 02:42 |
| holstein | kanhiya: make sure the wireless gateway is accessible and created correctly.. those are not trivial to setup | 02:42 |
| vector_ | how do I get list of connected usb devices | 02:42 |
| kanhiya | holstein: ahahha | 02:42 |
| holstein | vector_: try "lsusb" in a terminal | 02:43 |
| kanhiya | holstein: i just want to share my pc's internet connection, just opposite to mobile's wireless hotspot | 02:43 |
| markjones | Hi, I just installed 14.04 onto my chromebook. I had 13.10 on before, and it booted up in only a few seconds. With 14.04, it takes upwards of 1 minute to boot up. I installed bootchart. Here's my bootchart image: http://i.imgur.com/4jqPaoh.png | 02:43 |
| markjones | Any idea what's making it hang? | 02:43 |
| holstein | markjones: a minute sounds good to me, on hardware that was not promised to run linux.. | 02:44 |
| holstein | (ubuntu linux) | 02:44 |
| markjones | holstein compared to a couple seconds on 13.10? I've searched Google, and some people say that a particular program is making it hang based on peoples' bootcharts. So, I'm wondering if you notice anything obvious in my mine. | 02:45 |
| vector_ | how do I get the directory | 02:45 |
| OerHeks | markjones, sounds like suspend, not booting | 02:46 |
| markjones | OerHeks: sorry I'm not understanding. What do you mean suspend and not booting? | 02:46 |
| OerHeks | suspend/sleep/hybernate | 02:47 |
| holstein | markjones: resume from suspend would take a few seconds | 02:47 |
| holstein | markjones: its pretty normal and "good" for machines to boot under a minute or so | 02:48 |
| bluezone | am i doing something wrong in this launcher file? When i install the .deb package i have a launcher but the icon is not the one i set (it's the question mark) http://pastebin.com/WNq50bFX | 02:48 |
| markjones | holstein: that's fine. But if this is how 14.04 is going to boot normally for me, and there's no obvious problem in my bootchart. Then I'll just go back to 13.10 where it booted in seconds. | 02:48 |
| vector_ | holstein: how do get the path a device | 02:49 |
| markjones | It hangs on a black screen for about 40 seconds, not on any Ubuntu loading screen | 02:49 |

| Geo | Hi, want to run this by you... I currently have an 80gb and a 60gb hard drive mirroring each other for /home (60gb), and the remaining 20gb on the 80gb as / . I am about to upgrade the drives and bought 2x 160gb drives. I still plan to mirror /home, but with same-sized drives, I'm hesitant to mirror / , in case mdadm has an issue at some point and I can't boot my machine. | 02:56 |
| Geo | What are your thoughts on how to divvy up the drive spacing? | 02:56 |
| Geo | osieln: and what was the problem? | 02:56 |
| osieln | Geo: eth0 was deactivated | 02:56 |
| Geo | ... after a reboot? | 02:56 |
| Geo | or after the service restart? | 02:57 |
| kupo_ | anyone know if it is possible to get thunderbird notifications from xfce indicator thingy? | 02:57 |
| osieln | no, after restarting the service | 02:57 |
| Geo | You might find pastebin'ing your config to be a little more helpful | 02:57 |
| zombu2 | try rebooting | 02:57 |
| kupo_ | It has icon to launch thunderbird. but dunno if it tells you when you get new meial or not | 02:57 |
| Yelu | osieln, on a desktop system don't do it in "interfaces", but in network manager. Use ifdown <if> ans ifup <if>. | 02:57 |
| zombu2 | i had the same crap happening to me today a gazillion times | 02:57 |
| ninebits | How can i change the default icon for a given file extension? Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 02:58 |
| zombu2 | i m still trying to figure out how to activate channel bonding on 4 nics | 02:58 |
| zombu2 | everytime i set it up bond0 no workie | 02:58 |
| osieln | Yelu: thanks | 02:58 |
| xangua | kupo_: gnotifier allows firefox to use native notifications, don't know if it's aviable for thunderbird | 02:59 |
| vector_ | how do get list of connected device and their path | 02:59 |
| kupo_ | yeah. i can probably get it going with gmail. thanks though. not a big deal | 03:01 |
| ninebits | On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, is there a way to change the default icon for a given file extension? | 03:03 |
| kupo_ | right click and properties or use different icon theme | 03:04 |
| ninebits | it seems only to affect the file i right-click | 03:04 |

| Daghdha | Is it possible in ubuntu to compress entire folders, but not to tar or zip. Just on the filesystem. I have some huge backups on there that i think can be compressed a lot. (They are filecopies or Virtual machines including the disks of the virtual machiens) | 03:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Daghdha: im not sure there's a better alternative then compressing with tar | 03:36 |
| Daghdha | well, i still wanna be able to access them as a filesystem just as they are now. | 03:36 |
| ridethespiral | Help! My Ubuntu 12.04 install that was working g yesterday won't boot past the Ubuntu logo (dots load fully) | 03:37 |
| markjones_ | holstein: finally, I got it! I had to downgrade my kernel, but I'm finally booting into 14.04 in less than 10 seconds. | 03:37 |
| markjones_ | So much for "1 minute is normal"! | 03:37 |
| Daghdha | Windows can do this, i'm sure you know what i mean. Justc l;ick a folder and say 'compress' or something likethat. It's no must. But it would def save me some GB's :) | 03:37 |

| ridethespiral | Lotuspsyche, when would I press f1 it does nothing | 03:40 |
| BlueProtoman | lotuspsychje: Yeah, but my question is, how can I upgrade? | 03:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Daghdha: how about cleaning space on your hd's? | 03:40 |
| danux | what is the best network monitor that displays dns names rather than ip addresses for lubuntu ? | 03:40 |

| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, ok I can try, it's really screwed up when it's enabled but I can make my way through the menus. It's glitched the hell out and has been ever since I plugged in that hdmi cord..

| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, but why would it be happening now? I was happily running 3.11.XX kernels on ubuntu studio 12.04 | 04:07 |
| LJSeinfeld | ubottu: No sound devices show in the sound preferences at all any more (since installation of card) | 04:07 |
| ubottu | LJSeinfeld: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:07 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, even the same usb sticks I used the first time around arn't installing without issues. maybe my laptop is calling it quits? haha | 04:08 |

| rusty_ | Hello, I have just installed 14.04 on a new build pc. The network adapter on the motherboard is not working. I have updated kernel to 3.14.4 still no joy. Mobo is a Gigabyte Z87X-D3H. Google got me nowhere so far (except some driver for e1000e which i ran make install / mod probe for but no luck). Any suggestions appreciated | 04:17 |
| Connie | lotuspsychje: meaning? :P (kind of a noob ._.) | 04:17 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, yes the core i5 is what I've been using for gpu | 04:17 |
| ridethespiral | worked fine lol | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | ridethespiral: is that the onboard graphics? | 04:17 |
| ridethespiral | (and is now) | 04:17 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, Yes the intel core processors have a gpu built in | 04:18 |

| CarlFK | rusty - sure, you need to add "pcie_aspm=off" to the line that boots the kernel. vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg line 147.. linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=5955e3c5-fa8f-4996-b21f-157eaaa15925 ro BOOTIF=01-b8-88-e3-fa-02-54 quiet splash crashkernel=384M-:128M $vt_handoff | 04:41 |

| w4|k3r | babinlonston, Which Ubuntu version were you using? | 04:54 |
| CarlFK | babinlonston: io error - I suspect a disk error, and not enough of the system has been loaded to handle it gracefully | 04:54 |
| qin_ | konobi: pid 1265 is pretty low, you would want to boot in text and get snap of logs to see. | 04:55 |
| AcidRain_ | why does ubuntu report that i have 64gig of ram? | 04:56 |
| AcidRain_ | oh. cause i rly do. ;) | 04:56 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, it worked | 04:56 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, but my resolution is super low, and unity is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow | 04:56 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, it was never this slow (even with the radeon off) | 04:56 |
| konobi | qin_: you do know that pid's get reused? especially over time? | 04:57 |
| w4|k3r | babinlonston, That's a kernel panic - either hardware as suggested by CarlFK or some memory issue | 04:57 |
| bufferloss | so I did a release upgrade “in place” from 13.10 to 14.04 using do-release-upgrade | 04:57 |
| bufferloss | I can boot recovery mode and my DE works fine, but in regular mode I just get a black screen | 04:58 |
| qin_ | konobi: do not think it is the case | 04:58 |
| bufferloss | I’m thinking/guessing my nvidia drivers didn’t get configured or didn’t get configured correctly | 04:58 |
| bufferloss | but how would I check for this | 04:58 |
| bufferloss | and how can I troubleshoot my normal boot sequence if it has a blank/black screen | 04:58 |
| konobi | qin_: you're obviously clueless then | 04:59 |
| Devme | Thanks everyone... | 04:59 |
| ridethespiral | how do i fix my graphics after install with nomodeset | 04:59 |
| CarlFK | bufferloss: I ssh in from another box (laptop... old machine... friends machine...) | 04:59 |
| ridethespiral | & it's really slow | 04:59 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, go into memtest mode, check for the xorg packages | 04:59 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, I think there is a command from terminal/cl session which could reconfigure the x-org packages | 05:00 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, | 05:01 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- this command should fix the x11 packages for you | 05:01 |
| rusty__ | ok CarlFK, might not be a hardware issue at all. dhcp here appears to be fubar so manual set network details. however something still fucked, i can ping gateway but cannot get on the web gui on :80 | 05:01 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: ok cool thanks I’ll try that | 05:02 |
| kam270 | why are the russians the best programmers ? | 05:02 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: not sure however how to use memtest mode to do this | 05:02 |
| bufferloss | can’t seem do do anything other than run memtest in memtest mode | 05:02 |
| bufferloss | though I can go in to recovery mode | 05:02 |
| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| bluezone | kam270, in russia, program, program u! | 05:03 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: so I ran that command from the recovery console and there was no output at all | 05:04 |
| bufferloss | is that good? | 05:04 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, in memtest mode - you are eventually thrown into a terminal session right? | 05:04 |
| cfhowlett | kam270 bluezone please take jokes to #ubuntu-offtopic - this is the support channel. | 05:04 |
| w4|k3r | In there try -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:05 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: no, not that I see so far | 05:05 |
| ridethespiral | how does one fix the graphics resolution after installing with nomodeset???? | 05:05 |
| bufferloss | k i’ll try again | 05:05 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, Where does the memtest take you after the completion of memtest? | 05:05 |
| CarlFK | w4|k3r: memtest - do you mean the memory test you can be loaded/run from the grub boot loader? | 05:05 |
| kam270 | rusty have you tried https | 05:05 |
| w4|k3r | CarlFK, I am not completely sure as to what the memtest actually does - but yes the option is displayed in the GRUB | 05:06 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, If you have to nomodeset to install, it is not still using that command in the kernel | 05:06 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: hmm, this is goind to take a long time | 05:07 |
| CarlFK | w4|k3r: bufferloss - memtest is nothing but the test app, there is no os/prompt/ antyhing else, so when you exit it, it just reboots | 05:07 |
| w4|k3r | CarlFK, I guess it checks for the blocks of memory and other such devices attached - RAM blocks and all | 05:07 |
| bufferloss | only at 6% | 05:07 |
| ridethespiral | nomodeset install looks like 640x800 where as normal is my screen resolution. | 05:07 |
| ridethespiral | (when it worked lol) | 05:07 |
| ridethespiral | ubuntu hates my laptop =/ | 05:07 |
| w4|k3r | CarlFK, But a few days back, while I was experimenting with a library - I accidentally made some changes in the X11 packages making me to go into the | 05:08 |
| w4|k3r | black screen | 05:08 |
| w4|k3r | Ahh, sorry - bufferloss I think I ran recovery mode | 05:08 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, You would not have a nomodeset boot on the install unless you do it manually from grub, or add it to the kernel through grub. | 05:08 |
| w4|k3r | I guess I got the session in recovery mode | 05:08 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: yeah so I already did that | 05:09 |
| bufferloss | I used recovery mode and ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:09 |
| bufferloss | and i got “zero output" | 05:09 |
| w4|k3r | in there when I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - it kinda fixed the packages for me, though I had to re-install bumblebee once again after that | 05:09 |
| bufferloss | which I don’t know if that’s good or bad | 05:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | anyone else have issues with audacity and recording a usb microphone? for some reason playback is really fast and it's static BUT if i export it it's fine | 05:09 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, do a update and upgrade and look in additional drivers | 05:10 |
| w4|k3r | zero output - okay - can you paste the a screenshot/text of the data you are getting after running the command | 05:10 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: no data | 05:10 |
| bufferloss | there’s literally no output, i just get dumped back to my prompt | 05:10 |
| bufferloss | I could paste you two prompts in a row if you like | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, this lin is in /etc/default/grub | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | beldar | 05:11 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, :D | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | shall i remove it | 05:11 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, Did you add it? this is after a reboot from a install? | 05:11 |
| w4|k3r | Okay, let me check for a bit | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | yes Beldar , after a fresh install using nomodeset | 05:11 |
| ridethespiral | I didn't add it | 05:12 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, can you run this -> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:12 |
| babinlonston | CarlFK: Omg its Disk issue | 05:12 |
| babinlonston | w4|k3r: then i cant repair the grub | 05:13 |
| zombu2 | which the io errors indicated | 05:13 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, Te only way you can have nomodeset there on a install is if you have added it, your question "how does one fix the graphics resolution after installing with nomodeset????" is not correct. | 05:13 |
| Beldar | The* | 05:13 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, you can repair grub - I guess with the disk of Ubuntu you can fix that | 05:14 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, Just confusing is all. | 05:14 |
| babinlonston | http://i60.tinypic.com/21c9yx5.jpg | 05:14 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: well I can’t run gdm stop from my non-recovery install because I can’t even get to the virtual terminals on e.g. CTRL-ALT-F1 | 05:14 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, But your problem is not with GRUB right? You can choose Ubuntu, only that X is not getting loaded | 05:14 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: don’t think the problem is with grub entirely, but not sure | 05:14 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, If it were GRUB, even my problem would not have been solved | 05:15 |
| bufferloss | I did use the x diagnostics in the settings menu to disable splash etc, I used all those options, and indeed i get a little bit of normal sysv style initialization output | 05:15 |
| w4|k3r | I had the similar issue - mine got fixed with the dpkg command | 05:15 |
| bufferloss | but after that the screen just went black | 05:15 |
| ridethespiral | Before installing, I set nomodeset to true because it would boot to a black screen without it. Normally when a live usb boot works, it works at the correct resolution of my screen. Trying to install ubuntu lately after this string of f---ing disasters has been a nightmare and the only way it will work is with nomodeset. I set nomodeset onboot of the live usb, installed ubuntu, and restarted. Nomodeset remains and ubuntu is not disp | 05:16 |
| ridethespiral | laying in my native resolution | 05:16 |
| zombu2 | ctrl+alt+f2 and you get a shell | 05:16 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, by the way, which version of Ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| bufferloss | 14.04 | 05:16 |
| w4|k3r | okay, let me check | 05:16 |
| bufferloss | I just ran do-release-upgrade from 13.10 | 05:16 |
| zombu2 | that was a mistake lol | 05:16 |
| ridethespiral | lotuspsychje, you there? | 05:17 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, So is this a you can't find the graphic drivers needed, so you can remove the nomodeset a low graphic boot? | 05:17 |
| BlueAlchemy | Hi all, having an issue, need help with | 05:17 |
| bufferloss | zombu2: you may have missed the part about where that doesn’t work for me | 05:17 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, I can find the graphics drivers _IF_ I could get the install to work without nomodeset | 05:17 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, Oh, I never upgraded from one version to another using that - what I did was re-install only the root components | 05:18 |
| ridethespiral | the drivers don't fix my problem though because I'm using the graphics from the core i5, not the radeon | 05:18 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, That makes no sense to me, can you be clearer what that means? | 05:18 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, Installing drivers can be done from the desktop, the terminal, a TTY, a live cd, take a pick. | 05:19 |
| Beldar | no nomodeset or not | 05:20 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, check out this link -> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-upgrade-to-ubuntu-14-04-from-ubuntu-13-10-or-12-04/ | 05:20 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, it says you need to remove all third party packages like from Nvidia and such | 05:20 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, Did you do that? | 05:20 |
| bufferloss | well, not before I did the upgrade, no | 05:20 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, a year ago, I installed ubuntu studio 12.04 perfectly fine. No issues. A week ago I went to upgrade to 14.04 and it installed but booted to a black screen. I used my old usb stick that had vanilla ubuntu 12.04.3 (which I had used before) but even that was booting to a black screen or crashing. Just weird errors. I downloaded 14.04 and threw it onto a usb stick. It boots to a black screen as well, so I tried nomodeset on the | 05:20 |
| ridethespiral | recommendation of someone else. Now it has worked, but ubuntu is not using the correct resolution of what my screen is capable | 05:20 |
| bufferloss | the upgrader said it would be disabling stuff for me | 05:21 |
| bufferloss | so I asumed that would cover it | 05:21 |
| zombu2 | the upgrade to 14.04 brings all kinds of issues | 05:21 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, I don't know how else to describe it... | 05:21 |
| Beldar | ridethespiral, Best of luck I can see I can't help. ;) | 05:21 |
| zombu2 | it screwed my samba up | 05:21 |
| ridethespiral | Beldar, I want to just smash this laptop haha | 05:22 |
| ridethespiral | Buy one that people know agrees with ubuntu | 05:22 |
| ridethespiral | =/ | 05:22 |
| bufferloss | seems there’s gotta be a fairly simple fix somehow | 05:22 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: the dpkg thing would seem like the right thing but it’s apparently not | 05:22 |
| zombu2 | so you have the i5 video right | 05:22 |
| zombu2 | that should run out of the box | 05:23 |
| ridethespiral | yes it does, but it's not displaying in 1280x768 | 05:23 |
| BlueAlchemy | So anyway, I'm having an issue installing 14.04 (and because it's based on 13.10 and clearly has the same installer, also LinuxMint 16) | 05:23 |
| ridethespiral | I LITERALLY installed 12.04 yesterday and it worked fine. I rebooted today and it booted to black screen | 05:23 |
| ridethespiral | Perhaps it is very big hardware error? idk | 05:24 |
| zombu2 | well i would run memtest for about 6 hours on it and see what that comes up with | 05:25 |
| zombu2 | maybe it has a bad bit somewhere | 05:25 |
| ridethespiral | perhaps. I'll run it later and see what I come up with.. For now I'm going to try reinstalling a few different isos | 05:25 |
| zombu2 | make sure you run it very very long | 05:26 |
| zombu2 | like overnight | 05:26 |
| ridethespiral | I will run it overnight | 05:26 |
| ridethespiral | 12 hours | 05:26 |

| minimec | ridethespiral: Do I read you right? You have one of these laptops with two GPU Intel/AMD. What if you disable the radeon card once? See here--- -> https://gist.github.com/viniciusban/6917701 | 05:26 |
| zombu2 | hmm 3 hours 9 minutes to download 170 gigs worth of stuff | 05:27 |
| zombu2 | not bad | 05:27 |
| ridethespiral | minimec, you are correct. I have disabled the radeon with an acpi_call module loaded in /etc/rc.local for the last two years. It is only after this fresh installs that I'm having issues. Even the usb that I've used many times to install 12.04 is giving me issues. | 05:28 |
| zombu2 | ooooohhhhhhh | 05:28 |
| w4|k3r | Everywhere it seems that the issue is related to X | 05:28 |
| minimec | ridethespiral: Ok. I see. So I don't have any further ideas to help you ;) | 05:29 |
| ridethespiral | bahahah. Thanks though :) | 05:29 |
| zombu2 | i don t even know what rode those ppl to put a radeon on a intel machine | 05:29 |
| ridethespiral | Idk. It used to work fine until I plugged in an hdmi cord and it gives artifacts on the screen now lol. So I just disable it | 05:30 |
| minimec | ridethespiral: Well. But normally /var/log/Xorg.0.log should give you some ideas, why the xserver cannot run... | 05:30 |
| ridethespiral | how would one view that? when they can't get xserver to run :P | 05:31 |
| ridethespiral | I r kinda noob | 05:31 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, Try following this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760 | 05:31 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, instead of gdm - use lightdm | 05:31 |
| w4|k3r | buffer | 05:31 |
| minimec | ridethespiral: 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log' on the console. | 05:31 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, I guess you would be having lightdm, just check in /etc/lightdm | 05:32 |
| zombu2 | if you see artifacts i would say it s a bad card either ram for the card is bad or the chip itself | 05:32 |
| Trudko | Hi guys, I am looking for some power management on ubuntu, I was used to have profiles in windows, but I cant find anything like that i Ubuntu | 05:32 |
| ridethespiral | It's definitely the ati card itself. I'm guessing the BGA has become separated | 05:32 |
| zombu2 | ah yes | 05:32 |
| zombu2 | lots of these cards had issues like the nvidia chip in the dv6 and dv9 laptops | 05:33 |
| zombu2 | even crapple had that issue | 05:33 |
| Trudko | so far I found laptop-mode-tools | 05:33 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: so I don’t actually have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file right now to be backed up in the first place | 05:34 |
| ridethespiral | I did a fresh install even as early as 4 months ago without issue, but it's only now that I'm hving troubles installing. I'm not quite certain it's because the ati card. Idk something's weird lol | 05:34 |
| zombu2 | if all your installs have issues something prolly broke | 05:34 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, skip that then, even I did not have :) | 05:35 |
| ridethespiral | windows 7 boots fine.. =/ | 05:35 |
| zombu2 | with video? | 05:35 |
| ridethespiral | yup | 05:35 |
| ridethespiral | ;p; | 05:35 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: ok well then the next step says that dpkg will ask me a bunch of questions, but it does not | 05:35 |
| ridethespiral | lol | 05:35 |
| bufferloss | I get simply “no output" | 05:35 |
| zombu2 | run a benchmark and see what it does | 05:35 |
| bufferloss | as in i just get dumped straight back to prompt | 05:35 |
| ridethespiral | Ok. I'll get into irc on my phone and reboot into windows | 05:36 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, It's throwing you to the prompt again? hmm | 05:36 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: yes, still throwing me back to the prompt | 05:36 |

| bufferloss | only from the recovery install, in which I don’t really need to do that | 05:38 |

| bufferloss | well, not “fine” the resolution is horible | 05:38 |

| yenic | is there a way to make Unity nice in a triple monitor environment? mainly concerning the menu bar across all 3 monitors? | 05:42 |
| yenic | this is 14.04 lts | 05:42 |
| bufferloss | yenic: well that presumes Unity is nice to begin with :P | 05:42 |
| bufferloss | somethin something, gold plating a turd, yadda yadda | 05:43 |
| yenic | I've used xfce but that's a little too plain jane for me. Im ready to move beyond Windows 95 ripoffs | 05:44 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, I hope it is working fine now in your system | 05:44 |
| yenic | I really like Unity's Win7 dock ripoff though. | 05:44 |
| bufferloss | why do things have to be “ripoffs” | 05:44 |
| yenic | I'd like to keep it other than the menu bar on all 3 screens. | 05:44 |
| yenic | because they popularized it first. | 05:44 |
| bufferloss | ideas are synthesized | 05:44 |
| bufferloss | IP is BS | 05:44 |
| bufferloss | so what if something’s popular, XFCE isn’t a “windows ripoff" | 05:45 |
| ridethespiral | So what kind of benchmark should I perform lol | 05:45 |
| bufferloss | it works in a sane way as far as a desktop goes and is massively configureable | 05:45 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, I would rather say - windows is a Linux rip off now | 05:45 |
| yenic | I'm sure 99% of people like XFCE or similar systems because it takes them back to 'what they're used to' aka Win95-XP. | 05:45 |
| bufferloss | yenic: not sure how being able to have like 20 panels is in any way NEAR what windows can do | 05:45 |
| bufferloss | yenic: with that said, I use KDE these days :P | 05:45 |
| bufferloss | and it’s pretty awesome actually, I used to hate it | 05:45 |
| yenic | I'll have to try KDE. Not particularly swooning for any linux desktop honestly. | 05:46 |
| bufferloss | but now unity and gnome3 pissed me off so much I went back to XFCE, and then someone broke some packages and hosed my workstation so I went to KDE | 05:46 |
| xangua | yenic: how about you focus in explain what is exactly the features you want/miss | 05:46 |
| bufferloss | meh, I don’t swoon for desktops, that’s childish | 05:46 |
| bufferloss | KDE pretty much works, haven’t had an issue yet | 05:46 |
| bufferloss | back a few years ago, KDE used to segfault its own control panel (really bad) | 05:46 |
| bufferloss | but seems to be solid these days | 05:46 |
| yenic | Win7 is pretty solid as a desktop UI. Pretty much ideal, wish I could develop in Windows though, but I can't. | 05:46 |
| jim___ | My wireless card is not working, right when i start pc it says disconnected | 05:46 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, KDE and Gnome are what I like to use | 05:46 |
| w4|k3r | Unity is a bit clumsy | 05:47 |
| bufferloss | yeah I can’t stand unity | 05:47 |
| bufferloss | I’d rather use fluxbox | 05:47 |
| yenic | xangua, just want the top menu bar on 1 chosen screen, just as the taskbar is. | 05:47 |
| yenic | which would be the sensical way to implement it honestly. | 05:48 |
| w4|k3r | bufferloss, since I run some gfx utilisation softwares - I usually try to use Unity only - I have already screwed up once while trying to get a pckage installed | 05:48 |
| yenic | xangua, or just remove the top menu bar altogether. And put the time and date on the taskbar.. but then I'll be back to Win7's UI, which is OK. | 05:49 |
| jim___ | my wireless card is not working what are ways i could try to fix this | 05:50 |
| xangua | yenic: taskbar¿ you mean unity launcher¿ | 05:50 |
| yenic | yes commonly known as a taskbar for the past 20 years | 05:51 |
| bufferloss | er what? | 05:52 |
| bufferloss | w4|k3r: what are “gfx utilization softwares" | 05:52 |
| w4|k3r | Blender, SDL, Irrlicht, SFML and the like | 05:52 |
| w4|k3r | Some are packages, Blender is a software | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | I’m familiar with both Blender and SDL not the others | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | I see no reason at all Blender wouldn’t run in KDE | 05:53 |
| w4|k3r | I also use Matlab - for AI and all | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | SDL is, well, it’s a lib, so that’s unrelated basically | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | er, there’s a linux version of matlab? | 05:53 |
| w4|k3r | No blender would definitely run in KDE | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | (me thinks not) | 05:53 |
| bufferloss | octave > matlab | 05:54 |
| w4|k3r | I just got fed up with the DMs, I only use Gnome now - sticking to only one | 05:54 |
| w4|k3r | I know there's Octave, but I have been using Matlab for quite some time, hence not moving on to Octave | 05:54 |
| xangua | yenic: if you don't like the menu to show in the panel you can set it to show in the application window, go to your Appearence settings, behavior and check to show menus in the window | 05:54 |
| bufferloss | xangua: but that would be “ripping off” mac os, and of course, yenic would never want to use anything that could ever be seen as a “ripoff" | 05:56 |
| yenic | bullshit, I just want things ripped off correctly. | 05:57 |
| yenic | rip it off well or dont bother. | 05:57 |
| i_pity_da_foo | is it "browsable" or "browseable"? | 05:57 |

| bufferloss | I’d rather have a filter for straw men, personally | 05:59 |
| yenic | you just don't read well, that's the problem. You think I dislike ripoffs but didn't take the time before leaping on me as some sort of IP troll. | 05:59 |
| yenic | get lost. | 05:59 |

| Vivekananda | on connecting to a vpn of my friend I loose internet even when I have checked - use this connection only for resources on this network. What else should I do ? ubuntu 12.04 | 06:03 |
| bufferloss | Vivekananda: that’s often pretty common, you need to mark whatever setting allows you to pass through to the regular internet through that interface | 06:06 |
| bufferloss | forget the name of the setting | 06:06 |
| ridethespiral | Just did a fresh 14.04 install without nomodeset and ati card enabled. It worked but once it boots to desktop it freezes. Solo confused | 06:07 |
| ridethespiral | Soo* lol | 06:07 |
| ridethespiral | How much space is needed for root? I have a 32gb ssd with 4gb swap. Can I do dual 14gb root partitions for separate versions? | 06:09 |
| ridethespiral | I've never seen root get bigger than 9gb | 06:09 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: vms usually ask for 12g | 06:09 |
| bufferloss | so probably, I would def personally prefer to have like a 20g root partition, but it’s not that big of a deal I guess | 06:09 |
| ridethespiral | Yeah I feel safer a bigger root partition lol. Oh well. :) | 06:10 |
| night0w1 | I get by with 10-15GB easily but they are minimalistic testing VMs | 06:10 |
| night0w1 | I also prefer not to run VMs on SSDs due to the write intensity, though it depends what you are doing with the VM and the write cycles it is rated for | 06:12 |
| ridethespiral | I'm not running a vm | 06:13 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: likely all the more reason to allocate more space | 06:13 |
| ridethespiral | Blaaaaaaargh why does windows work absolutely fine but I can't even get Ubuntu installed. After I've been using it for years on this laptop! | 06:14 |
| night0w1 | ah, sorry | 06:14 |
| bufferloss | cuz you get what you pay for I suppose | 06:14 |
| ridethespiral | Lol? | 06:14 |
| bufferloss | windows pretty much always has more widespread hardware support | 06:14 |
| night0w1 | ridethespiral, is there a specific issue that prevents you from installing it? | 06:14 |
| bufferloss | ubuntu’s been pretty good for me, but I’m on a desktop | 06:15 |
| ridethespiral | I can't figure out the issue. 14.04 installs but freezes at desktop.. 12.04 won't boot past Ubuntu logo | 06:15 |
| ridethespiral | 12.04 I was using for the longest time then I tried a fresh install of 14.04. The saying is right. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it lol | 06:16 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: laptop might be the key problem | 06:16 |
| bufferloss | *nix has always been notoriously fickle on laptops | 06:16 |
| night0w1 | any other info provided? and have you tried alternate modes of booting, namely one that does not use gfx much? | 06:17 |
| bufferloss | so much proprietary consumer hardware out there | 06:17 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: what about 13.10 ? | 06:17 |
| ridethespiral | It has worked fine for the last two years. At one point I had 13.10 installed and running good but there were a few issues so I went back to 12.04 | 06:17 |
| bufferloss | weird, sounds like hardware failure then if you used to run it | 06:18 |
| night0w1 | i personally look at linux support before buying a laptop | 06:18 |
| ridethespiral | I bought it 3 years ago before I got into Ubuntu. :p | 06:18 |
| bufferloss | well that’s probably the main reason it doesn’t work (well) with ubuntu | 06:18 |
| w4|k3r | ridethespiral, Specs? | 06:19 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: try an install without Xorg, and then try installing and booting a plain xorg server, no display manager or anything | 06:19 |
| bufferloss | then try something simple like fluxbox | 06:19 |

| night0w1 | gfx can be a PITA | 06:19 |
| ridethespiral | That's why I'm so confused | 06:20 |
| night0w1 | ridethespiral, have you run any diagnostic tools on the laptop? | 06:20 |
| ridethespiral | Like? Lol | 06:20 |
| bufferloss | fsck | 06:20 |
| bufferloss | memtest | 06:20 |
| night0w1 | Id rule out hardware just to make sure | 06:20 |
| ridethespiral | I will do memtest overnight later | 06:20 |
| night0w1 | memtest 86+ and a good extended HDD test/with SMART attributes | 06:20 |
| night0w1 | Hirens boot CD is free (not GPL) but great for that | 06:21 |
| ridethespiral | Can I so the HDD teat via command line? Last time I tried it kept failing for some reason (not the HDD) | 06:21 |
| ridethespiral | In recovery mode or something like that? | 06:22 |
| night0w1 | badbloks can be used, and the gnome disk utility as well as gsmartcontrol can get SMART attrs | 06:22 |
| ridethespiral | I'm only mediocre at Ubuntu lol | 06:22 |
| night0w1 | my personal preference is Victoria on the Hirens boot CD, it runs within MiniXP. It in my opinion is the best HDD tester out there, however any extended test will do | 06:23 |
| bufferloss | ridethespiral: well I think you should try to get a little less mediocre and install a text-only version of ubuntu | 06:24 |
| bufferloss | that should work for you as you said you can get all the way until your desktop screen | 06:24 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| bufferloss | so graphics sort of work, do an xorg config from a text-only install and see if you can get that to work | 06:24 |
| bufferloss | you should be able to basically just log in to a text only install and run startx | 06:24 |
| bufferloss | then you can see what’s going wrong | 06:25 |
| night0w1 | ridethespiral, cli testing of the hdd can be done via (as root)#badblocks -v /dev/sda | 06:25 |

| dcajacob05 | OK. But it's not something you can do privately | 06:56 |

| m1dnight | i have installed a new router | 07:25 |
| m1dnight | and when I open irssi it keeps disconnecting my terminal | 07:25 |
| m1dnight | I have enourmous lag (on the VM itself..) | 07:25 |
| m1dnight | should be network related I presume | 07:25 |

| Guest63859 | hi TomyLobo | 07:28 |
| Guest63859 | I think I did something disastrous, please let me know if this is true | 07:28 |
| TomyLobo | i'm currently upgrading 13.04 to 13.10 and i have a few questions about that dialog box where it lists what's going to be done: | 07:28 |
| Guest63859 | oh, you are seeking answers too TomyLobo | 07:29 |
| === thoonai_ is now known as thoonai | ||
| TomyLobo | what does "no longer supported" mean? was the package removed from the repositories? will it stay on my machine? | 07:29 |
| thoonai | good morning | 07:29 |
| ubuntuser13 | dash not showing apps ,saying no results found | 07:29 |
| TomyLobo | why is kdm being "Removed (was auto installed)"? | 07:29 |
| TomyLobo | is there a replacement for kdm in kubuntu 13.10 or is that a problem with the update mechanism? | 07:30 |
| === rm___ is now known as Guest91002 | ||
| thoonai | on my server runs a mpd instance and if I mount the music folder via sshfs every track is playable and in the database, but if I mount the folder via webdav only a hundredth of the tracks is recognized and mpd stops working. Any idea how I solve that? | 07:32 |
| Beldar | TomyLobo, Is there a remove and install list? | 07:32 |
| TomyLobo | Beldar it has "no longer supported", "install", "remove", "remove (was auto installed)" and "upgrade" | 07:32 |
| colin_shen | hi...what does the mean of "You're banned! " | 07:32 |
| TomyLobo | colin_shen it means you cant go there anymore | 07:33 |
| colin_shen | why? | 07:33 |
| TomyLobo | colin_shen would need some context to answer that | 07:33 |
| colin_shen | soory...i got a problem... | 07:33 |
| Madpilot | colin_shen, from an IRC channel here on Freenode? | 07:33 |
| Vivekananda | okay | 07:33 |
| Beldar | TomyLobo, I would have to see a screen shot, I never upgrade, it is not that uncommon for removals when the there is a updated replacement, you might check if this is the case. | 07:34 |
| TomyLobo | Beldar just a screenshot off google images of this dialog or the actual thing? | 07:34 |
| colin_shen | i can not see the whole sentence (may be more than 5 words.) typed by some uses... | 07:35 |
| Beldar | TomyLobo, what your looking at. | 07:35 |
| TomyLobo | colin_shen we need context to answer your question | 07:35 |

| thoonai | on my server runs a mpd instance and if I mount the music folder via sshfs every track is playable and in the database, but if I mount the folder via webdav only a hundredth of the tracks is recognized and mpd stops working. Any idea how I solve that? | 07:39 |
| TomyLobo | i have no idea why i even have radeontool | 07:39 |
| TomyLobo | considering that i have an nvidia chip | 07:39 |
| Beldar | TomyLobo, kdm is in the repos, not sure on the auto notation. | 07:39 |
| Madpilot | colin_shen, fullscreen xchat shouldn't have a character limit... | 07:40 |
| TomyLobo | Beldar well i set a ton of stuff to auto when i tried to slim down kde a bit | 07:40 |
| TomyLobo | apparently nothing requires kdm anymore | 07:40 |
| colin_shen | it seems like like the words (typed thoonai and beldar) i can see the whole sentence... | 07:40 |
| TomyLobo | colin_shen right-click xchat's title bar and click maximize | 07:41 |
| Beldar | TomyLobo, I have no idea what stuff to auto means is all. | 07:41 |
| TomyLobo | Beldar hmm, then you probably cant help me with this :/ | 07:41 |
| colin_shen | it still doesn't work... | 07:42 |
| agent_white | thoonai: What's wrong with sshfs? | 07:43 |
| wuyue__ | 大家好 | 07:44 |
| thoonai | agent_white: sshfs over vpn is quite some overkill for an vm cpu | 07:44 |
| wuyue__ | 我是合肥的 | 07:44 |
| TomyLobo | thoonai then dont use vpn? sshfs is secure on its own | 07:45 |
| TomyLobo | wuyue__ try english | 07:45 |
| bazhang | !cn | wuyue__ | 07:45 |
| ubottu | wuyue__: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 07:45 |
| TomyLobo | or that | 07:45 |
| igoryonya | Vivekananda: this route could possibly cause a problem, because it routs your lan to be on the other side of the VPN: '192.168.1.0 10.8.0.5 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0', and your default gateway for the internet is on that same network. I think that, possibly, it's looking for 192.168.1.1 on the other side of the network, therefore, it'strying to get the internet through that 192.168.1.1 that's located remotely. | 07:45 |
| wuyue__ | sorry i dont speak english | 07:45 |
| wuyue__ | i m out | 07:46 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: I can't let the vpn go because then I can't access the NAS at all | 07:46 |
| wuyue__ | 88 | 07:46 |
| TomyLobo | i see | 07:46 |
| TomyLobo | thoonai iirc, ssh can transmit unencrypted | 07:47 |
| agent_white | What was wuyue__ speaking? Need to know my xterm does not support that charset :P | 07:47 |
| TomyLobo | looked like chinese | 07:47 |
| Madpilot | agent_white, looked like English from here | 07:47 |
| igoryonya | Vivekananda, you there? I think, you need to remove that route after you connect to the VPN and see if it helps | 07:47 |
| agent_white | Madpilot: Odd. What emulator you use? | 07:47 |
| agent_white | I'm on xterm. | 07:47 |
| Madpilot | Agent_Smith_BR, xchat in desktop | 07:48 |
| TomyLobo | thoonai if it ever existed, it might not actually be possible to use that option anymore due to security concerns though | 07:48 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: o.O | 07:49 |
| agent_white | Madpilot: Ahhh okeydoke ;D | 07:49 |
| TomyLobo | agent_white make sure you set it to utf-8 too :) | 07:50 |
| agent_white | TomyLobo: I have! At least I think I did... that's what's odd! :P | 07:50 |
| agent_white | TomyLobo: Yup, `$LANG` => "en_US.UTF-" | 07:51 |
| TomyLobo | boxes? | 07:51 |
| agent_white | "en_US.UTF-8"** | 07:51 |
| agent_white | TomyLobo: Nah just whitespace :i | 07:51 |
| TomyLobo | do you see boxes? question marks? strange extended latin characters? | 07:51 |
| dw1 | hmm, why is mysql default charset utf8 on 14.04 desktop and latin on 14.04 server | 07:52 |
| agent_white | TomyLobo: Nope! Whitespace... though I copied the "invisible" line from irssi into chromium, and saw chinese characters. | 07:52 |
| TomyLobo | odd | 07:52 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: ok, didn't found anything ^^ | 07:52 |
| bekks | dw1: Because thats the only sane charset nowadays :) | 07:53 |
| thoonai | oh yeah and I don't like to set up multiple users for random clients on my NAS | 07:53 |
| agent_white | thoonai: Does it have anything to do with webdav being connection-less as opposed to sshfs? | 07:53 |
| dw1 | perhaps i created teh dbs differently | 07:53 |
| TomyLobo | bekks read the 2nd part of his question | 07:53 |
| agent_white | HTTP proto vs SSH. | 07:53 |
| bekks | dw1: the package is the same, so you must have changed the default. | 07:54 |
| thoonai | agent_white: don't know that. | 07:54 |
| TomyLobo | thoonai do you have any other unencrypted choices? | 07:54 |
| thoonai | atm I try it with lighty | 07:54 |
| TomyLobo | like *shudder* smb | 07:54 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: no | 07:54 |
| dw1 | bekks: yeah i think i figured it out - i chose collation utf8 when creating db on one not the other. my bad | 07:54 |
| thoonai | especially not smb ^^ | 07:54 |
| TomyLobo | really? just webdav and ssh? | 07:54 |
| agent_white | thoonai: Neither did I! Just googled 'webdav ubuntu' and saw that it was based on HTTP... so I'm assuming that looking it uses datagrams. | 07:55 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: I can set it up, but I want a proper fix for my problem not creating a whole haystack of problems ^^ | 07:56 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: I see NFS, SMB and SSH as problems when transfering data | 07:56 |
| agent_white | thoonai: Just curious... how much of a difference is it using sshfs compared to webdav? Why not use sshfs? | 07:56 |
| TomyLobo | thoonai i see webdav as one | 07:56 |
| thoonai | agent_white: between 10 and 20% cpu load? | 07:57 |
| TomyLobo | and your experience with it seems to confirm that :) | 07:57 |
| agent_white | thoonai: Oh my! :( | 07:57 |
| agent_white | thoonai: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Streaming_With_Icecast_and_MPD ?? | 07:58 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: thats right, and youre right and that makes me feel uncomfortable, because then I have to worry about users, ACLs for read allowances and a more powerful vm host | 07:58 |
| TomyLobo | so if you can even use nfs, why not that? | 07:59 |
| thoonai | agent_white: even if the machine would have full load on the processor it wouldnt be bad if it wouldnt be on a vm ^^ | 07:59 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: because I tried to ignore NFS more or less successfull the last 5 years and I'm lazy ^^ | 08:00 |
| agent_white | Ahhh... you might need to step back and consider other options other than MPD? | 08:00 |
| thoonai | agent_white: I would if I would knew some nice alternative | 08:01 |
| TomyLobo | ok this is getting weird | 08:01 |
| agent_white | thoonai: :P Do you use MPC to play files on the MPD computer? | 08:01 |
| thoonai | agent_white: ympd yes | 08:02 |
| thoonai | TomyLobo: *sigh* I'll try NFS ^^ | 08:02 |
| TomyLobo | I'm updating kubuntu 13.04 to 13.10. Now it wants to remove kdm, even though i set it to manually installed. what's going on? is there a replacement? | 08:02 |
| thoonai | agent_white: TomyLobo thx, I'll get back later. gtg | 08:07 |
| thoonai | goodbye | 08:07 |
| TomyLobo | bye and good luck | 08:07 |

| Hans-Martin | hi folks, I've got an icon display problem (desktop and nautilus icons are just generic file icons, even for folders). Is there any place where I can reset gnome/nautilus or whatever decides which icons to show? Google didn't return conclusive answers, just removing ~/.gnome* seems a bit unspecific to me... | 09:53 |
| MonkeyDust | agent_white no error, no download, let's take it to offtopic, but gotta go now | 09:53 |
| dw1 | Hans-Martin: dont remove, rename. :) | 09:55 |

| Hans-Martin | (of course with logou/login every time) | 09:55 |

| TomyLobo | try #eclipse | 10:51 |
| kuba_ | i have installed it | 10:51 |
| kuba_ | but i have a few problems | 10:52 |
| TomyLobo | try the channel #eclipse | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | ok | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | i will check | 10:52 |
| TomyLobo | you are in #ubuntu. eclipse isnt ubuntu | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | i know | 10:52 |
| ikonia | there are eclipse packages for ubuntu | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | but i did ist succesfull under windows | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | there are linux based problems | 10:52 |
| ikonia | it's fine to ask how to get them installed here | 10:52 |
| TomyLobo | yeah | 10:52 |
| kuba_ | i understand you, thanks | 10:52 |
| TomyLobo | but he said "cofigurat" | 10:52 |
| TomyLobo | which i think means "configure" | 10:53 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: perhaps asking what he actually wants... before pushing him out | 10:53 |
| ikonia | or understanding the problem | 10:53 |
| kuba_ | but i still have one question to linux | 10:53 |
| Capprentice | Hi ! anyone using Gnome 3.12 ? How can I organize apps in Groups under Gnome 3.12 ? I have Gnome Software beside Ubuntu Software Center now. Why KDE apps are not listed in Gnome Software Center ? | 10:53 |
| malinux- | I have a clevo w76tun computer, running Ubuntu 14.04. I can't get it to suspend when closing laptop lid. This stopped to work after linux-kernel 2.6.38 | 10:54 |
| kuba_ | i downloaed tar.gz package and extracted it | 10:54 |
| kuba_ | but i cannot lunch it | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: because they don't update the gnome menu as they are designed for KDE | 10:54 |
| kuba_ | after installing from repo it lunchaes normally | 10:54 |
| kuba_ | but i cannot lunch extracted package | 10:54 |
| ikonia | kuba_: depends what's in the tar.gz you don't always "launch" the contents | 10:54 |
| kuba_ | there is executable file | 10:55 |
| kuba_ | but when i try to lunch it, nothing happens | 10:55 |
| cvtsx | kuba_ did you change perms? | 10:55 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: maybe dconf-editor might have a suspend entry | 10:55 |
| kuba_ | for this package? | 10:56 |
| cvtsx | for the executable | 10:56 |
| kuba_ | no | 10:56 |
| cvtsx | do it | 10:56 |
| kuba_ | ok | 10:57 |
| kuba_ | but executable file has 3x r | 10:57 |
| kuba_ | so everyone can read it, right? | 10:57 |
| Hans-Martin | success - gnome-tweak-tool fixed it. | 10:58 |
| TomyLobo | ikonia well, installing some random tar.gz is not really ubuntu-specific. people in #eclipse have done it before and can help him | 10:58 |
| TomyLobo | if he has a deb and trouble installing that, that's when we can help | 10:58 |
| agent_white | Hans-Martin: Good to hear! I had seen that in my google-fu but didn't think it would do the trick... | 10:58 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: again - you have no idea what he's installing, what's in the tar, or anything | 10:59 |
| kuba_ | huys | 10:59 |
| TomyLobo | ikonia unless there's a .deb in the tar... | 10:59 |

| kuba_ | the newest build for 32 bit linux, indiego package | 10:59 |
| kuba_ | i have extracted it with tar -xvzf command | 11:00 |
| TomyLobo | kuba_ do you have a 32 bit linux? | 11:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !info eclipse | kuba_ | 11:00 |
| ubottu | kuba_: eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.8.1-5.1 (trusty), package size 15 kB, installed size 122 kB | 11:00 |
| kuba_ | no 64, but 32 always go well on 64, isn't it? | 11:00 |
| TomyLobo | not really | 11:00 |
| kuba_ | hmm | 11:01 |
| TomyLobo | unlike 64 bit windows, 64 bit linux isnt a mixed system, by default | 11:01 |
| kuba_ | ok i will check it. When i was doing it on windows, people said to me If i am new i should get x32 version | 11:01 |
| TomyLobo | that's also silly | 11:01 |
| kuba_ | i am downloading x64 | 11:02 |
| TomyLobo | the only reasons to use a 32 bit version on a 64 bit windows are that the 64 bit build is buggy, nonexistant, older or otherwise worse | 11:03 |
| ikonia | kuba_: the simpler you can keep your setup, the easier you will find it, eg: use a 64bit OS, try to use 64bit software, | 11:04 |
| kuba_ | Can i ask you for help if i try to compile program written in C, and i got java.lang.nullptr exception or it should be done in #eclipse? | 11:06 |
| lotuspsychje | kuba_: maybe the ##programming guys might wanna help you also | 11:06 |
| ikonia | kuba_: I think that you're going to need to take to ##c or #eclipse, to work out if it's a problem with the IDE, or your code | 11:06 |
| TomyLobo | likely #eclipse or even #eclipse-cdt or what it's called. | 11:07 |
| kuba_ | ok, i see | 11:07 |
| TomyLobo | you wont get a java.lang.something in C :) | 11:07 |
| TomyLobo | so it's the IDE that's breaking there | 11:07 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: you will | 11:07 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: it's the IDE | 11:07 |
| ikonia | however how the ide handles an error could be the actual code | 11:07 |
| TomyLobo | ikonia that's what i was saying dude | 11:07 |
| ikonia | hence working out where the error is | 11:07 |
| kuba_ | But i do, and this is C project, moreover even in eclipse i have C/C++ perspective (or sth like that) | 11:08 |
| TomyLobo | ikonia so dont send him to ##c for that error | 11:08 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: I didn't send him to ##c for that error | 11:08 |
| TomyLobo | for other errors, sure, but this one is clearly not originating from C | 11:08 |
| ikonia | I sent him to ##c to work out if his code had problems | 11:08 |
| ikonia | or if the ide was causing it not to compile | 11:08 |
| TomyLobo | ikonia if his IDE has uncaught exceptions, he should diagnose those and get an update or replacement before moving on | 11:09 |
| ikonia | TomyLobo: that is one line of the output, it's quite possible it's how it's displaying the exceptions in the code, or it's own error handling | 11:10 |
| TomyLobo | you clearly have no idea what a java.lang.NullPointerException is | 11:10 |
| ikonia | pretty sure I do, howver, this is getting pointless | 11:11 |
| TomyLobo | "getting"? | 11:11 |
| TomyLobo | it's obvious that his IDE is broken | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | lets move on to ubuntu support guys | 11:12 |
| TomyLobo | and considering it's eclipse (cdt no less), i'm not the least bit surprised | 11:12 |
| TomyLobo | good idea | 11:12 |
| kuba_ | Thanks, now it works | 11:15 |
| binali | People))) | 11:15 |
| kuba_ | I had to download x64 instead od x32 versions | 11:15 |
| kuba_ | I had to download x64 instead of x32 version* | 11:15 |
| TomyLobo | so the NPE was with the 32 bit version? | 11:15 |
| TomyLobo | (NPE = NullPointerException) | 11:16 |
| kuba_ | Yes | 11:17 |
| TomyLobo | you should have mentioned that :) | 11:18 |
| kuba_ | i wrote it somewhere, that is was x32 package | 11:19 |
| TomyLobo | yep, then we told you to get a 64 bit package. i kinda assumed you would get that before going on | 11:20 |
| lotuspsychje | kuba_: you can apt-cache search packagename if you like, this way you always get the correct package for your architecture | 11:20 |
| kuba_ | Everything works fine now, I can program my microcontrollers | 11:23 |
| kuba_ | Thank you so much, i was fixing all bugs for about 2 hours ... | 11:24 |

| MrmappyINOF | Hey guys | 11:29 |
| lotuspsychje | MrmappyINOF: hello mate | 11:29 |
| MrmappyINOF | I'm quite new to Linux and ubuntu | 11:30 |
| lotuspsychje | MrmappyINOF: well this is an ubuntu support channel if you have some problems | 11:30 |
| MrmappyINOF | Okay | 11:30 |
| lotuspsychje | MrmappyINOF: so feel free to ask ubuntu related issues | 11:31 |
| kuba_ | thank you all for help | 11:33 |
| kuba_ | see you | 11:33 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: it has, all settings is set to suspend. | 11:34 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: hmm might be some bug maybe? | 11:34 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: maybe try to tail -f /var/log/syslog and try hibernate, see what it does | 11:34 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: hibernate instead of suspend? | 11:35 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: suspend sorry | 11:35 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: okey :) | 11:35 |
| Asyn | Ok, so I'm dog tired and maybe that's why I can't think this out... I've got the following setup: I have a desktop that connects to the router via wifi, and the ethernet port is plugged to a switch that is also connected to another PC. Ideally I want to just bridge the connections, but with WPA working the way it does it seems like a pain in the ass... so couldn't I just in theory use iptables with something like iptables -A FORWARD - | 11:35 |
| Asyn | I mean, obviously I can't or I wouldn't be asking the question. | 11:35 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: it dosen't report anything when I close my lid. (the command) | 11:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Asyn: thats more a ##networking issue | 11:36 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: hmm, maybe check previous logs then for errors? | 11:37 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: like the pm-suspend.log ? | 11:37 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: not sure about that, never use suspend myself | 11:37 |
| daftykins | Asyn: network manager should support bridging the connections | 11:37 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: ah | 11:37 |
| malinux- | there is no errors in the /var/log/pm-suspend.log | 11:38 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: how bout the syslog? | 11:38 |
| Asyn | daftykins: Yeah, I tried that... ended up just breaking all together. Something about it being an WPA network seems to break it. | 11:39 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: what laptop brand is this? | 11:41 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: it's a clewo W761tun | 11:41 |
| malinux- | *clevo | 11:41 |
| malinux- | syslog dosen't have any errors about pm-suspend | 11:42 |
| === robotdevil is now known as payattention | ||
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: few google results on clevo suspend bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1285761 | 11:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1285761 in linux (Ubuntu) "[CLEVO CO. W130EV] suspend/resume failure" [Medium,Expired] | 11:43 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: maybe new kernel might solve? | 11:43 |
| MrmappyINOF | Hey guys | 11:43 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: thanx. I could check it out. Well, how new should the kernel be before it starts to work again? It hasen't worked since kernel 2.6.38 and it hasen't worked on any kernel since | 11:44 |
| === payattention is now known as robotdevil | ||
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: not sure mate, just see few hits on clevo suspend errors | 11:45 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: you doublechecked bios for suspend options maybe? | 11:46 |
| daftykins | Asyn: how far did it get though? did the other PC get an IP? | 11:47 |
| lotuspsychje | !info uswsusp | malinux- | 11:48 |
| ubottu | malinux-: uswsusp (source: uswsusp): tools to use userspace software suspend provided by Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0+20120915-4ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 136 kB, installed size 516 kB (Only available for amd64; i386; powerpc) | 11:48 |

| malinux- | lotuspsychje: yes, my laptops bios dosen't have any suspend-options. I dualboot with win7 in Win7 it works. | 11:49 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: ok | 11:49 |
| malinux- | lotuspsychje: is uswsusp a program I could try? | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | malinux-: yes seems like a handy suspend prog | 11:50 |

| malinux- | lotuspsychje: I do have to manually configure the uswsusp? | 11:54 |

| smartass | hi, could anyone recommend a good alternative to Calligra Plan or TaskJuggler? | 12:01 |
| Asyn | daftykins: I was trying to avoid masquerading so I didn't have to set up a bunch of forwarding rules for the other wireless clients. | 12:02 |
| daftykins | Asyn: i was more highlighting the guy saying it can't be done. have you got control over the wireless network settings to change WPA just for experimentation? | 12:02 |
| === asturel_ is now known as asturel | ||
| Asyn | daftykins: Yes I do. I can try that next. | 12:06 |
| leipzig | So, why exactly doesn't Ubuntu support making an infrastructure hotspot out-of-the-box? | 12:07 |
| MonkeyDust | leipzig what brings you here? | 12:08 |
| daftykins | leipzig: you haven't written it into network manager yet ;) | 12:08 |
| leipzig | daftykins, What do you mean? | 12:08 |
| leipzig | MonkeyDust, What's wrong with me being here? | 12:09 |
| smartass | hi, could anyone recommend a good alternative to Calligra Plan or TaskJuggler that would support time tracking and reporting (Gantt charts) | 12:09 |
| Celine | Hello. I've 2 user account on this Lubuntu, and I want to make second one the default one that will load automatically after reboot. How to do this? | 12:09 |
| MonkeyDust | leipzig i meant, instead of asking "why", better ask "how" | 12:09 |
| TomyLobo | he was asking "why not", not "why" :) | 12:10 |
| leipzig | MonkeyDust, Oh, yes. Actually, I'd love to know how! :) | 12:10 |
| leipzig | TomyLobo, Nice one! lol | 12:10 |
| daftykins | leipzig: hostapd | 12:10 |
| leipzig | daftykins, hostapd is broken in 14.04. Even downgrading it didn't work with me for some reason. | 12:11 |
| Malinux- | uswsusp dosen't work. unless I have to configure it in a way to make it work | 12:11 |
| daftykins | oh maybe you were that one that spoke of this the other day | 12:11 |
| leipzig | daftykins, Yeah. I tried to find a solution for it here yesterday, but to no avail.. | 12:12 |
| daftykins | did you ever explain what goes wrong with it? | 12:12 |
| leipzig | daftykins, I was able to make an infrastructure hotspot using ap-hotspot back in 13.10. But ap-hotspot depends on hostapd, which is broken on 14.04. They say it should work if you downgrade hostapd to the previous version, but it didn't work for me. | 12:14 |
| TomyLobo | what didnt work? the downgrade process or the software after the downgrade? | 12:15 |
| leipzig | TomyLobo, As far I understood what happened, the downgrade went just fine. But ap-hotspot still wouldn't budge.. | 12:15 |
| daftykins | we need package management output if that's where somethings going wrong | 12:16 |
| daftykins | what you describe isn't in enough detail | 12:17 |
| leipzig | daftykins, Please help me out to bring more details. :\ | 12:17 |
| daftykins | i don't have any experience with those packages to know how they even fit together | 12:18 |
| daftykins | Asyn: i was sure it could be done graphically without messing with bridge interfaces: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3063/share-wireless-connection-with-wired-ethernet-port?rq=1 | 12:20 |
| Asyn | daftykins: Yeah, I saw that article. It assigns a whole new subnet to the wired connections though, which I was trying to avoid. I think because of the way APs work, this is just not going to be possible without setting up WDS which my cheap router doesn't support. | 12:24 |
| daftykins | Asyn: why's that an issue? anything wrong with looking into powerline networking or just buying a USB or PCI wireless adapter? i love cables myself :) | 12:26 |
| === black_cat is now known as Guest9854 | ||

| s1991 | khildin: boot repair also didn't help | 12:32 |
| s1991 | and also I'm afraid If I'd done something wrong I will miss everything | 12:33 |
| BurnIrl | Hello =) | 12:37 |
| BurnIrl | i have an issue with linux | 12:38 |

| BurnIrl | nope | 12:38 |

| s1991_ | Hello can some help me, I've windows 8 install in 1 partition but doesn't appear in grub? | 12:40 |
| daftykins | s1991_: so you installed 8 *after* ubuntu? | 12:41 |
| perdomwx | Did you install Windows after you installed Ubuntu | 12:41 |
| ganimede | s1991_, try installing grub customizer (google it), at least to see your grub configuration | 12:41 |
| s1991_ | daftykins: actually I installed 8 first, and then ubuntu, and then remove windows boot option for choosing os to grub | 12:42 |
| === BurnIrl is now known as Oisin | ||

| perdomwx | http://askubuntu.com/questions/370910/recovering-grub-after-installing-windows-8-1 | 12:43 |
| daftykins | s1991_: do you mean you changed the boot item in your BIOS/EFI ? | 12:43 |
| s1991_ | daftykins: at initial where system ask to choose between os, so I replace it by ubuntu's grub | 12:43 |
| ganimede | daftykins, he just removed the win partition from grub | 12:44 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| s1991_ | daftykins: if you just install window, there won't be grub there would be anything else, so that I replace | 12:44 |
| s1991_ | ganimede: ya, may be :P | 12:44 |
| ganimede | s1991_, again, install visual grub and check your configuration | 12:45 |
| s1991_ | ganimede: using boot-epair | 12:46 |
| s1991_ | boot-repair* | 12:46 |
| ganimede | nope, it is another tool. let me google it | 12:46 |
| Asyn | Sounds like he might have nuked the Win boot partition when loading ubuntu and grub didn't pick it up. | 12:46 |
| s1991_ | ok thanks | 12:46 |
| ganimede | s1991_, use: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install-grub-customizer-302-in-ubuntu.html | 12:46 |
| s1991_ | Asyn: exactly | 12:46 |
| daftykins | seems so, just a very confusing way of putting it XD | 12:46 |
| daftykins | EFI or legacy installs? | 12:47 |
| s1991_ | ganimede: I also have that, but I'm afraid to do anything | 12:47 |
| Asyn | s1991_: How many partitions do you have and what types are they? | 12:47 |
| === BurnIrl is now known as Oisin | ||
| Oisin | hi | 12:48 |
| s1991_ | Asyn: 2 ext4 and 2 ntfs | 12:48 |

| Asyn | s1991_: What size are the ntfs partitions? | 12:48 |
| vignesh | anyone know how to configure sonicwall | 12:48 |
| s1991_ | in one of the ntfs, cantains win-8 | 12:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !info sonicwall | 12:48 |
| ubottu | Package sonicwall does not exist in trusty | 12:48 |
| daftykins | vignesh: that's a physical router and beyond the scope of this support channel. try ##networking | 12:49 |
| ganimede | s1991_: in that case just run it, make sure to show the grub menu (general settings tab), save the configuration and restart | 12:49 |
| vignesh | okay thank you | 12:49 |
| s1991_ | Asyn: ext4 100GB each, ntfs 50GB and 200G | 12:50 |
| s1991_ | 50gb contains window | 12:50 |
| daftykins | heh that's going to be a struggle for you in future | 12:51 |
| daftykins | 50GB is tiny for Windows | 12:51 |
| Asyn | s1991_: Ugh. There should be a ~100MB ntfs partition windows uses to boot from (since 7 and up)... someone can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but without that you might be hosed. | 12:52 |
| s1991_ | daftykins: I know, I didn't use to much | 12:52 |

| Ugb3 | daftykins: Only way to boot atm. | 12:54 |
| daftykins | Ugb3: ah, did you try installing the legacy fglrx driver? | 12:55 |
| Ugb3 | daftykins: as you may know ATi droped support of catalyst for "legacy" cards, so I'm stuck with the open source one, but I can't get any acceleration and full usage of my screen. | 12:55 |
| s1991_ | daftykins: here http://pastebin.com/Q0EkU7Cw | 12:56 |
| daftykins | Ugb3: yeah, i think there's a package for the last version driver for those old generations though | 12:56 |
| Pessimist | Ugb3: because the free driver should be enough for your needs | 12:56 |
| daftykins | Asyn: pastebin also ^ | 12:56 |

| Ugb3 | OerHeks: yeah a manual one, if you don't know about it you will just have a black screen, for new to linux it can be a bit disapointing. | 13:05 |
| Asyn | s1991_: As long as you just choose one of the NTFS partitions to install Windows to it shouldn't touch anything Ubuntu related other than Grub... it will kill grub, but you can just use a live cd to run grub-update again. HOWEVER, you REALLY should back up anything important beforehand. | 13:05 |
| ilhami | is there any wifi scanner which can retrieve channels from networks in area+ | 13:05 |
| OerHeks | Ugb3, the installer works flawlessly, no modeset needed at that point | 13:05 |

| MrmappyINOF | Yeah, at least for a bit | 13:07 |
| MrmappyINOF | To test out | 13:07 |
| jrtappers | MrmappyINOF, For a test a live usb might be better, unless your computer is quite powerful VM's can lag | 13:08 |
| jrtappers | But base ubuntu is quite nice for beginners, not loo much of a learning curve | 13:08 |
| jrtappers | *too | 13:09 |
| MrmappyINOF | Okay, I'll try and get it running | 13:09 |
| BartDude | I really need your help, guys. | 13:09 |
| Oisin | <> | 13:09 |
| Oisin | <?> | 13:10 |
| jrtappers | MrmappyINOF, Do you want to try a live usb or a vm? And what VM software are you using? | 13:10 |
| BartDude | Oisin: Look further up. :) | 13:10 |

| jrtappers | They are in /var/log/, thats where logs are kept by default | 13:13 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: Let me see if I can find something for you. | 13:13 |
| Deddokatana | i have something that will make them slap themselves with glee | 13:13 |
| Asyn | ilhami: Read up on the whole aircrack-ng package. It is a complete toolkit, and what you are asking isn't as simple as you think. Wireless networks over what time? What are you wanting to capture? | 13:14 |
| jrtappers | BartDude, Can you pastebin dmesg first | 13:14 |
| ilhami | I just want to know what channels the networks around me use so I can adjust | 13:14 |
| ilhami | thats all | 13:14 |
| Asyn | ilhami: Then airodump-ng is your answer. | 13:15 |
| daftykins | ilhami: you've been told some programs to try, so try them :) | 13:15 |
| MrmappyINOF | I'll try VM for a while, and maybe install it on a computer in the future, and I use VirtualBox for VMs | 13:15 |
| ilhami | I did install airodump-ng | 13:15 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: If you tell me what's in it. :P | 13:15 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: You could make me share some secret information and ruin my system. | 13:15 |
| jrtappers | BartDude, If I was doing that I would ask for /etc/shadow | 13:16 |
| jrtappers | :D | 13:16 |
| Asyn | ilhami: I don't understand where the problem is. You run it, it tells you all the wireless networks it can see, you hit ^C and your done. | 13:16 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: Now I'm curious! | 13:16 |
| jrtappers | Dmesg is just a general error log | 13:16 |
| jrtappers | /etc/shadow holds the hashed passwords | 13:16 |
| ilhami | I dont know what command to run Asyn. I tried airodump-ng.. it gave me a list of commands I can do | 13:17 |
| BartDude | Well... There's dmesg, dmesg.0, and dmesg.1.gz? | 13:17 |
| jrtappers | BartDude, dmesg, the rest are old logs | 13:17 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: Hold on. | 13:17 |
| Asyn | ilhami: It's just airodump-ng <interface>, which by default should be airodump-ng wlan0 | 13:17 |
| jrtappers | MrmappyINOF, It will run ok, but you may want to try a live usb (YUMI or Unetbootin) to see if your hardware will work and to get les lag | 13:18 |

| BartDude | jrtappers: Great. | 13:19 |
| jcstarken | jrtappers:in terminal when i open gedit yes | 13:19 |
| Asyn | ilhami: Then try airmon-ng start mon0 and then do airodump-ng mon0... this is from memory so I might be a little off. | 13:20 |
| MrmappyINOF_ | I'm now on my computer instead of my iPad | 13:20 |
| Asyn | ilhami: it might be airmon-ng start wlan0 | 13:21 |
| jrtappers | jcstarken, sudo bash -c "echo 'vm.swappiness = 10' >> /etc/sysctl.conf" | 13:21 |
| jrtappers | BartDude, Do you have daemon.log? | 13:21 |
| ilhami | Asyn, it didn't work... | 13:21 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: Let me see. | 13:21 |
| ilhami | Asyn I tried both | 13:22 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: If it should be in the same folder, no. | 13:22 |
| ilhami | It just keep listing interfaces | 13:22 |
| jrtappers | BartDude, yes | 13:22 |
| MrmappyINOF | I'm here now | 13:22 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: No daemon.log. Is that a good thing? :O | 13:23 |

| jrtappers | BartDude, What is your distro / version? | 13:24 |
| BartDude | jrtappers: Ubuntu 14.04 | 13:24 |
| MrmappyINOF | jrtappers: if it makes any difference, I currently use Windows | 13:24 |
| Asyn | ilhami: Ok, I'm guessing you did it a few times... try airodump-ng mon5 then. | 13:24 |
| ahel | When I boot, no DM starts up after update to 14.04, so I've to switch to tty and "startx", then my session resume booting. any idea where to look for hints? | 13:25 |
| erle- | why is tmpfs non-executable? | 13:25 |
| ilhami | Asyn thanks :) | 13:26 |
| ilhami | that worked | 13:26 |
| jrtappers | MrmappyINOF, It does not, VM will work ok, live usb will work well, and ubuntu desktop is nice for beginners | 13:26 |

| mac_15 | hi to everyone | 13:29 |
| MrmappyINOF | mac_15: Hello! | 13:29 |
| Ugb3 | Does any of you know the function of "Download updates while installing" of the Ubuntu installer ? I had checked it but apt-get upgrade had a sh1tload of updates just after finishing the installation. | 13:29 |
| ilhami | is it normal for a router to have 13 channels? | 13:29 |
| daftykins | ilhami: yes, the 2.4GHz ISM band has 13 channels in most regions, 14 in Japan | 13:30 |
| bekks | ilhami: Sure. | 13:30 |
| daftykins | ilhami: however most overlap, so your only TRUE choices are 1, 6 and 11 | 13:30 |
| mac_15 | trying to mingle with irssi!!! | 13:30 |
| ilhami | I set mine to 9 :D I hope it will have a good impact | 13:30 |
| ilhami | it seems faster now | 13:30 |
| MrmappyINOF | Ugb3: the download updates while installing thing does what it says it is | 13:31 |
| daftykins | ilhami: picking one of the above three would be best | 13:31 |
| somsip | I have 12.04 installed on one HD, and have a new HD for 14.04 which will replace 12.04 so I want grub on new HD MBR so I can select boot device in BIOS. tried selecting default during install, and specifying /dev/sdg (new HD per partition manager) but still get nothing after boot prompt. Ideas? | 13:31 |
| MrmappyINOF | and should install after installation | 13:31 |
| Ugb3 | MrmappyINOF: So why is there still update available after installation ? What kind of update does it install ? | 13:31 |
| ilhami | daftykins I will try this and if it doesnt work out as it should I might change it to what you said. | 13:31 |
| daftykins | somsip: just install with the other disk disconnected. | 13:31 |
| Ugb3 | MrmappyINOF: Nothing happened after installation :/ | 13:31 |
| somsip | daftykins: and then use installer's recommended default? | 13:32 |
| daftykins | somsip: if you wish, i prefer creating a separate /home partition | 13:32 |
| ilhami | Thanks guys for your help! later! | 13:32 |
| MrmappyINOF | Then it should ask you if you want to install after ubuntu installation | 13:32 |
| somsip | daftykins: I have / 200GB and /home 1.8TB on the new HD. But I'll disconnect the other 3 drives so only the new HD is in there and try that - nice idea | 13:33 |
| daftykins | somsip: enjoy :) | 13:33 |
| Ugb3 | MrmappyINOF: Anything should pop-up ? I just had the screen with the key explanation and that's all. | 13:33 |
| somsip | daftykins: thanks - bfn | 13:34 |
| pdo_fn14 | Confused to choose btrfs or xfs for high disks performance with high stability. Anyone suggests?. | 13:34 |
| MrmappyINOF | Ugb3: I don't know then | 13:34 |
| Ugb3 | Weird, I think i can live with having to do a atp-get upgrade but it seems weird. | 13:34 |
| MrmappyINOF | Ugb3: The sooner you get used to the command line, the easier your Linux experience will become | 13:36 |
| Ugb3 | MrmappyINOF: Yeah i know, i'm pretty used to it now, but i have come back to ubuntu after years of other distro/windows/Mac os X, and sometime i'm enjoying a seamless non-command line experience, and i'm still confused when something doesn't seems to work as it should. | 13:37 |
| MrmappyINOF | Yeah, there are a lot of distros that don't even need a command line, unless you need to | 13:38 |

| bekks | mamece2: Creating a new backup will be faster. | 14:27 |
| === fbsd_ is now known as stdint | ||
| mamece2 | bekks: theres a problem, i dont remember if everything in the external drive was backup | 14:28 |
| dw1 | ahel: this looks like the instructions http://tinyurl.com/m7fb4kj .. but i would probably skip that last sudo chmod step it doesnt seem right | 14:28 |
| mamece2 | bekks: if i could just get the names of the files I could compare and format without remorse | 14:28 |
| bekks | mamece2: the file names where overwritten. | 14:28 |
| Ugb3 | mamece2 bekks isn't that possible to resize the partition with some gparted ? | 14:28 |
| bekks | Ugb3: that will destroy any chance of restoring the data. | 14:29 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: Ok i didnt get that there were data loss. | 14:29 |
| bekks | However, without a backup, the data can safely considered to not have been worth to beb kept. | 14:29 |
| mamece2 | bekks: I know theres 116 GB that were lost. it was what dd overwritten. But I want to take a look at the rest of the data in the unaloccated space. theres a way to restore unallocated to NTFS (the initial FS)? | 14:30 |
| bekks | mamece2: you could try to use photorec | 14:30 |
| ahel | dw1: but then startx wouldn't work! | 14:30 |
| dw1 | ahel: here's the original that helped the other guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1386329&p=8699969#post8699969 | 14:30 |
| dw1 | ahel: ? | 14:30 |
| bekks | ahel: startx isnt supposed to work. Start your X server with lightdm/gdm/etc | 14:31 |
| ahel | If it was a xauthority problem | 14:31 |
| dw1 | ahel: perhaps not | 14:31 |
| dw1 | ahel: dont know | 14:31 |
| mamece2 | bekks: photorec or foremost? | 14:31 |
| bekks | ahel: Which permissions/owner does .Xauthority have? | 14:31 |
| ahel | bekks: that's what we're trying to do | 14:31 |
| bekks | mamece2: Did I write photorec or foremost? | 14:31 |
| bekks | ahel: "ls -lha ~/.Xauthority" | 14:32 |
| ahel | Sorry I'm slow on the phone | 14:32 |
| dw1 | ahel: .xsession-errors might have something too | 14:32 |
| mamece2 | bekks: isnt} photorec just for pictures? | 14:32 |
| bekks | mamece2: No. | 14:32 |
| leipzig | Hi all. | 14:32 |
| leipzig | Anyone here experienced with hostapd? | 14:32 |
| bekks | leipzig: What if someone is? | 14:33 |
| mamece2 | ok let me finnish with testdisk and I will use photorec, tyvm | 14:33 |
| ahel | bekks: userX proprietary and group read and write. | 14:34 |
| leipzig | bekks: I have been trying to use ap-hotspot which depends on hostapd, and I keep facing this issue.. http://pastebin.com/xBzEYa1Z | 14:35 |
| leipzig | bekks, What could be the problem? | 14:36 |
| bekks | leipzig: I dont see any issues in your post | 14:36 |
| leipzig | bekks, The issue is that ap-hotspot never completes, and no wireless hotspot is made for some reason. | 14:37 |
| mamece2 | bekks: do you think i can skip the partition search and start recovering files from the unallocated data? | 14:40 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: Ok same problem with lubuntu, everything is slow as vista on a pentium II and it only uses a part of the screen. I think the problem comes from the whole 14.04 and my card... | 14:40 |
| ahel | Using startx in Nautilus it escalates asking my psw to mount an external HD. Does it suggest anything? | 14:41 |
| OerHeks | ahel using startx in nautilus ? what makes you think it should do something right? | 14:43 |
| OerHeks | Ugb3, try resetting your monitor to factory defaults, works sometimes | 14:44 |
| Ugb3 | OerHeks: thanks, but didnt work :( | 14:45 |
| mamece2 | do you think i can skip the partition search from testdisk and start recovering files from the unallocated data? | 14:46 |
| ahel | OerHeks: didn't know it was really that bad | 14:47 |
| Ugb3 | Ok, byebye ubuntu too bad you don't like my graphic card :'( | 14:49 |

| Ugb3 | Thank you all who tried to help me. | 14:49 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: I will, but ubuntu used to be a nice way to get "old" hardware working well... and my 7800Gt is older but working better... | 14:50 |
| Ugb3 | Back to fedora. | 14:50 |
| leipzig | bekks, Any idea what could be the problem? | 14:50 |
| bekks | leipzig: never tried / needed to try using hostapd, sorry | 14:50 |
| leipzig | bekk, oh okay. Thanks, anyways.. | 14:51 |
| zM | Hi | 14:51 |
| ahel | I'm an inch from formatting everything | 14:51 |
| bekks | ahel: because of? | 14:52 |
| zM | I have a problem with my /media directory's permissions. I can't open any media unless be su and even as su they're on "read only" mode | 14:52 |
| leipzig | Okay, then... I guess I'm gonna try to move to fedora too.. :\ | 14:53 |
| ahel | I cannot make it login from lightdm and now I notice that gnome-control center goes segmentation fault | 14:53 |
| bekks | zM: So which ubuntu are you on? | 14:53 |
| zM | 14 | 14:53 |
| bekks | zM: 14 what? | 14:54 |
| zM | The last LTS (14.04 right ?) | 14:54 |
| bekks | ahel: do you have enough disk space? | 14:55 |
| bekks | ahel: And whoch ubuntu are you on exactly? | 14:55 |
| bekks | *which | 14:55 |
| ahel | I just updated to 14.04 | 14:56 |
| ahel | Yeah I'm backing up my things on an external HD | 14:57 |
| mamece2 | bekks: I cant create an image for the unallocated space in my external hd. what can i do? | 14:57 |
| bekks | mamece2: Define "i cant create an image" | 14:57 |
| OerHeks | mamece2, for restoring/repairing NTFS i would use UBcd with free tools, making an image of unallocated space is not easy. | 14:59 |
| mamece2 | bekks: when i use testdisk to create an image the option are there just for data with FS defined | 14:59 |
| bekks | mamece2: Yeah - and testdisk isnt photorec. | 15:00 |
| mamece2 | bekks: i thought photorec worked only with images | 15:01 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: There must be something wrong somewhere in the last ubuntu, even the fedora installer works better, it is full screen and smooth as butter, i wish it could be like that with ubuntu. | 15:01 |
| bekks | mamece2: So create an image - I dont see the problem. | 15:01 |
| OerHeks | mamece2, you've asked it before, why do you ignore answers? | 15:01 |
| bekks | Ugb3: The installer is irrelevant at all times. | 15:02 |
| mamece2 | bekks: when i try to create an image I cant choose the unallocated space | 15:02 |
| mamece2 | OerHeks: Im doing what you suggest | 15:02 |
| bekks | mamece2: Why not? Create a full image using dd. | 15:02 |
| raggg | im getting ~60MB/s write speed on a sata 2 SSD, does that seem slow or is that ok? | 15:02 |
| bekks | mamece2: Operate on that full image only. | 15:02 |
| mamece2 | bekks: ok | 15:02 |
| bekks | raggg: thats ok. | 15:02 |
| raggg | bekks: cool thanks | 15:02 |
| Geo | Hi, want to run this by you... I currently have an 80gb and a 60gb hard drive mirroring each other for /home (60gb), and the remaining 20gb on the 80gb as / . I am about to upgrade the drives and bought 2x 160gb drives. I still plan to mirror /home, but with same-sized drives, I'm hesitant to mirror / , in case mdadm has an issue at some point and I can't boot my machine. | 15:03 |
| Geo | What are your thoughts on how to divvy up the drive spacing? | 15:03 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: I coul'nt event type in real time in the ubuntu installer... | 15:03 |
| bekks | Geo: Thats nonsense. You are afraif of mdadm mirroring and you want to not mirror / because of that? :) | 15:03 |
| bekks | Geo: Then why do you want to mirror /home if you are afraid of losing /home then? | 15:04 |
| Geo | bekks: eh? | 15:05 |
| raggg | bekks: my hdd is writing faster than the ssd, is that normal? | 15:05 |
| Geo | I think you misunderstand | 15:05 |
| bekks | Geo: Either trust in mdadm and mirror everything, or dont trust in it, and dont mirror anything. | 15:05 |
| Geo | If /home doesn't come up, my machine (remotely admin'd) can still come up, I can fix what didn't come up. | 15:06 |
| bekks | Geo: Wrong. :) | 15:06 |
| Geo | If / doesn't come up, the machine never turns on, and I can't get to it | 15:06 |
| asarch | How can I debug Xen kernel? | 15:06 |
| bekks | Geo: How are you supposed to log in your user without a /home ? | 15:06 |
| asarch | It only crashes with no "explanation" :-( | 15:06 |
| Geo | bekks: because /home doesn't disapear... it just mounts, empty under / | 15:06 |
| asarch | This machine, however, does support Xen, it used to work fine with OpenSuse | 15:06 |
| bekks | Geo: And you will not be able to log in since /home/user/ does not exist. | 15:07 |
| patchy_85 | hello? | 15:07 |
| bekks | Geo: So redesign your strategy. | 15:07 |
| Geo | bekks: lets pretend it does to get past this conversation- it has worked for me for the past five years just fine | 15:07 |
| Geo | I'm asking about / | 15:07 |
| patchy_85 | this is my first time trying IRC, it's all quite new to me | 15:07 |
| bekks | Geo: If you can, mirror it. | 15:07 |
| bekks | Geo: Especially when you are already mirroring /home | 15:08 |
| patchy_85 | you guys can see my messages right? | 15:08 |
| sl33k_ | My 14.04 is very laggy. So was earlier 10.04. What is it depend upon? Could I make any hardware changes to see this go away? | 15:08 |

| Ugb3 | patchy_85: No we don't see your message. | 15:08 |
| patchy_85 | @Ugb3 I don't know why, did I misconfigure something? | 15:09 |
| Ugb3 | patchy_85: This was a joke, we can read you well :) | 15:09 |

| davros_ | this happened earlier and I had to reinstall | 15:10 |
| patchy_85 | okay, just a quick question is this the irc channel for ubuntu only? does it also include its variants? | 15:10 |
| patchy_85 | because I'm a xubuntu user | 15:10 |
| davros_ | I'm running ubuntu 13.04 in parallels | 15:10 |

| bekks | sl33k_: Then you just have to live with it - that thing is about 5 years old. You could use xfce or lxde, too. | 15:12 |
| sl33k_ | bekks: You mean core 2 duo processor? | 15:13 |
| bekks | sl33k_: I mean your T6570. | 15:13 |
| sl33k_ | bekks: Would I have to reinstall the os for it? Can I switch from gnome to xfce without much hassle and work and installing? | 15:13 |
| bekks | sl33k_: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 15:14 |
| kupo_ | herro ubuntu | 15:14 |
| Ugb3 | sl33k_: It seems that know you have to have a recent computer to use ubuntu with unity. | 15:15 |
| sl33k_ | bekks: This package changes just the desktop environment without anything underlying, correct? | 15:15 |
| davros_ | does anyone have any clue why my desktop is black? I can tell the windows are there because if I click in the right place the menu bar displays the correct application name, but I can't see anything | 15:15 |
| sl33k_ | Ugb3: What is unity? desktop environment? | 15:15 |
| Ugb3 | sl33k_: kind of yeah. | 15:16 |
| kupo_ | graphic error | 15:16 |
| bekks | davros_: You have an unsupported Ubuntu release. Install a supported release first. | 15:16 |
| === miterion_ is now known as miteriob | ||
| === miteriob is now known as miterion | ||
| kupo_ | yeah. i'd try others instead of unity | 15:16 |
| bekks | sl33k_: Yes. | 15:16 |
| sl33k_ | bekks: Ok i will try those commands. I hope nothing goes wrong so as to warrant a backup... | 15:16 |
| jakhi | how can i defragment an ext2/3/4 filesystem? | 15:17 |
| bekks | sl33k_: I assume you already have a backup. If you dont, you dont have to care, since you dont consider your data being worth to be kept then. | 15:17 |
| bekks | jakhi: you dont have to. | 15:17 |
| jakhi | just in case... | 15:18 |
| bekks | jakhi: You dont have to. | 15:18 |
| jakhi | assume i need to | 15:18 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i use the 'classic gnome' which can be installed with sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback | 15:18 |
| Ugb3 | jakhi: You won't. | 15:18 |
| bekks | jakhi: I know you dont. | 15:18 |
| Ugb3 | jakhi: There is no such fragmentation with ext systems. | 15:18 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: http://askubuntu.com/a/65087 -- its easier on the comp than unity | 15:19 |
| patchy_86 | is this irc channel only for ubuntu or for all ubuntu variants and flavors? | 15:19 |
| bazhang | http://linkpot.net/behead/ jakhi | 15:19 |
| jakhi | i've heard that fsck also consolidates the filesytem | 15:19 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: just install that package i mentioned and choose Gnome (Metacity) at login by clicking the ubuntu icon next to login box | 15:19 |
| sl33k_ | thanks for the tip dw1. checking the link | 15:19 |
| bekks | jakhi: you still dont need to do that using ext filesystems. | 15:20 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: What happens if i cancel a install at command line with ctrl-c. safe? | 15:20 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: should avoid it | 15:20 |
| OerHeks | patchy_86, onlu ubuntu xubuntu lubuntu, no derivates | 15:21 |
| bekks | sl33k_: Not safe. | 15:21 |
| Ugb3 | sl33k_: If you like Gnome give Fedora a try, my computer is just unusable with Unity but super smooth with fedora and Gome 3, or if you want to stay in a ubuntu-like distrib try elementary os. | 15:21 |
| bekks | Ugb3: Or just install gnome on Ubuntu. | 15:21 |
| dw1 | Ugb3: you can run many other desktops than unity on ubuntu .. | 15:21 |
| bekks | Ugb3: Or use xfce, lxde, etc. | 15:21 |
| dw1 | Ugb3: http://tinyurl.com/ubdesk | 15:22 |
| patchy_86 | which desktop environment do you guys use? | 15:22 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: Yeah but gnome on ubuntu is not as smooth imo and xfce etc... isn't gnome. | 15:22 |
| dw1 | i use gnome-session-flashback aka gnome classic | 15:22 |
| patchy_86 | I used to use xfce but since I've learned how to use i3 I can't go back :P | 15:22 |
| bekks | Ugb3: You just said that "gnome isnt gnome" - I consider that you have no clue what you are talking about at that point. | 15:22 |
| patchy_86 | tiling window managers are just so much more comfortable | 15:23 |
| patchy_86 | does anyone have tried i3 or awesomewm yet? | 15:23 |
| Ugb3 | xfce etc... are not gnome i mean. bekks | 15:23 |
| Ugb3 | and gome on ubuntu suck imho. | 15:23 |
| bekks | Ugb3: then again: you can use gnome on ubuntu. And watch your language. | 15:23 |
| Ugb3 | bekks: Sorry, yeah you can but once again i think it's not that polished. | 15:24 |
| OerHeks | Ugb3, no need to rant, this is a support channel, join #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat. you have old hardware, that does not apply to everybody. | 15:24 |
| Ugb3 | It apply to sl33k_ whose i was replying to. | 15:25 |
| bekks | Ugb3: And what do you need eye candy for, actually? For nothing, in fact. The point is, there is no reason in suggesting various distros when the same software can be run the same way and can be configured the same way on ubuntu, too. | 15:25 |
| Ugb3 | Ok everybody leave me aline. | 15:25 |
| m1dnight | Can i ask questions about xfce here as well? | 15:25 |
| Ugb3 | alone* | 15:25 |
| bekks | Ugb3: Thats hardly possible in one of the largest channels on freenode :) | 15:25 |
| bekks | m1dnight: Yes. | 15:25 |
| Ugb3 | I just was replying to sl33k_ and giving my own advice no need to flame me. | 15:25 |
| m1dnight | well, I'm trying to make sure xfce does not show previous windows on startup. well, they are not really "previous" since it shows some session each time | 15:26 |
| bekks | Ugb3: If you think other opinions than yours are "flaming you", it is you who should leave us alone, actually. | 15:26 |
| m1dnight | I have disabled it when I click shutdown, but it still shows me the sessin | 15:26 |
| m1dnight | Any clue how I can tell it "do not open anything" ? | 15:26 |
| sl33k_ | Ugb3: I am open to all. Maybe will first check light buntus then fedora. | 15:26 |
| dw1 | fedora = blasphemy :p | 15:28 |
| bekks | dw1: pain is a good teacher ;) | 15:28 |

| OerHeks | robincook, leave #cubieboard | 15:57 |
| robincook | OerHeks, ah, why say that? | 15:57 |
| lucian | i need to get rid of linux-image-3.2.0-61-generic but the problem is its being treated as if it doesnt exist.. cant even locate it from the repos | 15:57 |
| OerHeks | robincook, as we like your spam ... not | 15:57 |
| lucian | cant even find it in synaptic :/ | 15:57 |
| dw1 | lucian: what version of Ubuntu | 15:58 |
| sl33k_ | great thanks | 15:58 |
| robincook | OerHeks, sorry, I don't get you. I am Chinese, that a main reason I am interesting in cb. | 15:58 |
| lucian | dw1: 14.04 | 15:58 |
| dw1 | lucian: why are you on such a weird kernel :-/ | 15:58 |
| lucian | dw1: i dont know it just showed up with that number | 15:59 |
| lucian | in /ls boot | 15:59 |
| dw1 | lucian: sudo apt-get install linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic | 15:59 |
| dw1 | lucian: err | 15:59 |
| sl33k_ | ctrl+alt+del shows only logout option. Why does not is show up restart? What is the shortcut to restart os? | 15:59 |
| lucian | i dont know why there's a initrd.img-3.2.0-61-generic ibn /boot | 15:59 |
| dw1 | lucian: sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic | 15:59 |
| lucian | or how it got there | 15:59 |
| dw1 | lucian: thats the one you should be on | 16:00 |
| lucian | dw1: thankx, yeah i dont know what happened | 16:00 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: are you in xubuntu now? | 16:01 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: xfce, rather :) | 16:01 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: no | 16:01 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: not sure bout graphic mode but gnome-session-quit in terminal might work | 16:02 |
| sl33k_ | how much big is xfce package install? | 16:02 |
| bekks | sl33k_: "sudo init 6" is the shortcut to restart the OS. | 16:02 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: for logout | 16:02 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: it should tell you when you use the apt-get install command | 16:02 |
| sl33k_ | I am confused. Logout just switches accounts? | 16:02 |
| lucian | how do i get rid of this 3.2.0-61 image? | 16:03 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: yea just brings to login screen | 16:03 |
| lucian | apt-get can't locate it | 16:03 |
| dw1 | lucian: sudo apt-get remove <package> | 16:03 |
| lucian | it wont find it | 16:03 |
| dw1 | lucian: dpkg -l | grep 3.2.0 | 16:03 |
| dw1 | lucian: use that packagename | 16:03 |
| lucian | dw1: that didn't find anything other than 3.2.21-1 | 16:04 |
| dw1 | lucian: dpkg -r <package> also works but should be the same as apt-get remove | 16:04 |
| dw1 | lucian: oh you installed from source ? | 16:04 |
| lucian | dw1: yes i never actually created my own kernal | 16:05 |
| lucian | kernel* | 16:05 |
| lucian | so i dont know how this got there | 16:05 |
| lucian | but i'd like to find it | 16:05 |
| lucian | and purge it out correctly | 16:05 |
| dw1 | lucian: wont be easy without a package manager | 16:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lucian: You can also try Ubuntu Tweak from tualatrix's PPA ( !PPA risk ) | 16:06 |
| dw1 | lucian: checkinstall is a utility that creates packages from source files .. so if you download the source for that exact kernel and install it again with checkinstall you can then remove the package and it will remove everything ... | 16:06 |
| lucian | dw1: it cant locate anything thats 3.2.0-61-generic | 16:07 |
| leipzig | Thanks everyone for your help! I was finally able to solve my hotspot issue! :) | 16:07 |
| dw1 | lucian: or you can look at the install process and manually reverse . | 16:07 |
| ikonia | you should NOT be using checkinstall to build kernel packages | 16:07 |
| lucian | this is all way over my head | 16:07 |
| sl33k_ | How does logout differ from restart? | 16:08 |
| lucian | cant i just get rid of a simple kernel image | 16:08 |
| dw1 | lucian: well just leave it there and switch to the latest its just a few bytes space :p | 16:08 |
| === amal is now known as Guest27709 | ||
| ikonia | lucian: how did you install the kernel image ? | 16:08 |
| lucian | oh i see whats going on | 16:09 |
| sophocles_ | i have a lot of problems with wifi and ubuntu for 2wire router | 16:09 |
| sophocles_ | it keeps getting disconnected while my win8 has no problem | 16:09 |
| lucian | 3.2.0.61-generic is actually from 12.04 precise(12.04)LTS but it should have been removed during installation | 16:10 |
| lucian | during a clean full install of 14.04(LTS) | 16:10 |
| ikonia | lucian: it's not a clean install | 16:11 |
| ikonia | lucian: if there is a 12.04 kernel there - it's not a clean install | 16:11 |
| ikonia | it's an upgrade of some sort | 16:11 |
| lucian | ikonia: yeah so why did it upgrade when it should have fulling installed | 16:11 |
| ikonia | lucian: can you please clarify - is this a clean install or an upgrade | 16:12 |
| lucian | anyways - i need to remove it it or I'll go OCD crazy | 16:12 |
| ikonia | lucian: can you please clarify - is this a clean install or an upgrade | 16:12 |
| lucian | ikonia: no i think what happen was, during installation I didn't actuall 'format' the boot partition so i think thats why the old kernel stayed | 16:13 |
| ikonia | lucian: can you please clarify - is this a clean install or an upgrade | 16:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it can only be a upgrade surely? | 16:13 |
| lucian | i forgot to format the /boot partition so thats why | 16:13 |
| ikonia | lucian: can you please clarify - is this a clean install or an upgrade | 16:13 |
| lucian | now i remember | 16:13 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: what network card? maybe can google up a solution | 16:13 |
| ikonia | I'm not interested now | 16:13 |
| lucian | ikonia: scroll up | 16:13 |
| ikonia | it shouldn't be this hard to get information from someone asking for help | 16:14 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: lspci | grep Network might show it | 16:14 |
| sophocles_ | thanks, let me checko | 16:14 |
| lucian | so i believe the kernel is nowhere in the / system but still lingering in /boot | 16:14 |
| ikonia | lucian: the kernel is not in / | 16:15 |
| ikonia | kernels do not live in / | 16:15 |
| sophocles_ | dw1: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 16:15 |
| lucian | so if it just rm those vmlinuzes out | 16:15 |
| lucian | should be fine | 16:15 |
| ikonia | you have a screwed up system | 16:15 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: same as mine. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | no | 16:15 |
| ikonia | more so due to encyrption | 16:15 |
| ikonia | I would strongly advise you not to remove ANYTHING | 16:15 |
| ikonia | at this time | 16:15 |
| sl33k_ | When starting xfce it asked - default config or one panel? What doe it imply? What are panels exacly, pardon my terms ignorance... | 16:15 |
| gccster | guys i'm running ubuntu 14.04 and lamp and even tho i have in php.ini display_errors = off i get Unknown: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: | 16:16 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: didnt have any similar issues tho | 16:16 |
| sophocles_ | hmmm | 16:16 |
| sl33k_ | I chose default config btw | 16:16 |
| sophocles_ | i thought it was the 2wire because i have no problem outside of it ie starbucks, coffeebean | 16:16 |
| ikonia | gccster: mysql connect is being replaced by PDO as a php function | 16:16 |
| sophocles_ | 2wire is pretty pathetic system but i'm not the master of this house | 16:16 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: lsmod | grep ath = http://paste.ubuntu.com/7479084/ ? | 16:17 |
| gccster | ikonia, no parameter changes? | 16:17 |
| sl33k_ | How to be comfortable with xfce? Where are the wifi widget at top? What is workspace? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | gccster: it's a totally different function | 16:17 |
| gccster | ikonia, i would like to use the deprecated but cant stop the error messages to show up | 16:18 |
| ikonia | hence "unknown function" | 16:18 |
| ikonia | gccster: it's an error as it's not installed | 16:18 |

| gccster | ikonia, how can i fix it? | 16:19 |
| dw1 | gccster: display_errors = off just means it shouldnt show in browser but will show in the logs | 16:19 |
| gccster | dw1, its still in browser | 16:19 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: xfce feels nimble. thanks for the suggestion! | 16:19 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: lsmod | grep ath | 16:20 |
| linuxiOSgeek | nick /register linuxiOSgeek | 16:20 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: i didnt suggest xfce i suggested gnome-session-flashback :) | 16:20 |
| sl33k_ | oh :) | 16:20 |
| dw1 | gccster: perhaps the script turned display_errors on then | 16:20 |
| linuxiOSgeek | What version of Ubuntu are you guys running? | 16:20 |
| sixwheeledbeast | the latest | 16:21 |
| sl33k_ | If anyones used xfce. where is the wifi widget? | 16:21 |
| linuxiOSgeek | Are you guys part of Canonical? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | linuxiOSgeek: this is a communty channel | 16:21 |
| ikonia | linuxiOSgeek: mixture of everyone in here | 16:21 |
| linuxiOSgeek | OK | 16:21 |
| dw1 | linuxiOSgeek: some are, I think. see topic. 'official support' | 16:21 |
| linuxiOSgeek | Why does Linux not require defragmentation? | 16:22 |
| ikonia | linuxiOSgeek: file system works different | 16:22 |
| bazhang | !defrag | linuxiOSgeek | 16:22 |
| ubottu | linuxiOSgeek: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 16:22 |
| sophocles_ | how do i paste it to the bin from command line and grep? | 16:22 |
| sophocles_ | come again? | 16:22 |
| k1l | linuxiOSgeek: the ext4 filesystem got a journal. that defrags the filesystem right in time | 16:22 |
| linuxiOSgeek | Your ext4 filesystem link is broken | 16:23 |
| gccster | dw1, if i turn it on it shows DEPRECATED warning now it says Unknown: mysql_connect | 16:23 |
| ALourenco | Hello. I need to patch module mac80211, can anyone help me? | 16:23 |
| k1l | !pastebinit | sophocles_ | 16:23 |
| ubottu | sophocles_: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 16:23 |

| linuxiOSgeek | Do you use iOS on your Apple devices, or do you not have any iOS devices? | 16:25 |
| linuxiOSgeek | iOS uses the Linux kernel too! | 16:26 |
| OerHeks | linuxiOSgeek, this is ubuntu support, join the apple channel for ios issues | 16:26 |
| k1l | linuxiOSgeek: for not ubuntu related chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:26 |
| tking0036 | Thats not even true either.. They use the BSD mach kernel | 16:26 |
| linuxiOSgeek | No, Cocoa Touch | 16:26 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: looks similar to mine .. wonder what the 3k is for | 16:27 |
| sophocles_ | dw1: greek to me | 16:27 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: i might suggest changing router channel to one with less interference, but if windows works | 16:27 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: i guess its for the bluetooth | 16:27 |
| sophocles_ | oh well, i mean it's working now, just spotty | 16:28 |
| sophocles_ | might be the repeater | 16:28 |
| sophocles_ | thanks tho | 16:28 |

| stemid | I messed up my sudoers config so I thought gksu would save me but gksu nautilus just returns 1. same with gksu rm /etc/sudoers.d/my_broken_file | 16:29 |

| linuxiOSgeek | #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:29 |
| linuxiOSgeek | Does Linux require rebooting as much as Windows does? | 16:30 |
| nwg | linux very rarely requires reboot | 16:30 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: there could be some information in /var/log/syslog | 16:31 |
| stemid | pkexec visudo did what I needed | 16:31 |
| dw1 | would raising TTL make disconnections due to interference less frequent? | 16:33 |

| dw1 | sophocles_: "I went thru the same recently the only thing that helped was to change the channel of the wireless router. After that no more drops." | 16:36 |
| sophocles_ | what do you mean cahnge the channel of the wireless router | 16:36 |
| sophocles_ | i don't have access to the router, that's the other problem, i would try hacking into the admin page | 16:37 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: yeah you probably can | 16:37 |
| sl33k_ | Is xfce xubuntu the same? | 16:37 |
| daftykins | same as what? | 16:37 |
| sl33k_ | and* | 16:37 |
| sophocles_ | the roomate, the person who owns the router, is not being very decent about it | 16:37 |
| sophocles_ | ok i will look into that. thanks guys. i didn't mean to say i use win8, i only bought it bc i had a job interview. ubuntu is #1 | 16:38 |
| daftykins | sl33k_: xfce is a desktop environment that can be installed on ubuntu. xubuntu is a download of ubuntu which comes with xfce as default instead of unity. it is lighter weight and runs better with less resources than unity | 16:39 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: http://google.com/search?q=change+channel+router -- if you type route in terminal it should say the 'gateway' IP which is probably the same IP you need to browse to to access admin page | 16:39 |
| ikonia | sophocles_: you're free to use what you want, it doesn't matter to us what you like best, no need to apologise for using windows | 16:39 |
| sophocles_ | ;) | 16:39 |
| daftykins | just don't ask us to support it :) | 16:39 |
| Yelu | sophocles_, if your roommate's router had ethernet plugs, you could use another wireless router you'd control (or simply plug your machine directly). | 16:40 |
| ALourenco | Hello. I need to patch module mac80211, can anyone help me? | 16:40 |
| sl33k_ | daftykins: so to install xubuntu I will have to remove my current install or run it on the vm? | 16:40 |
| dw1 | sophocles_: then either try the user/pass written on the router or google the model for default login | 16:40 |
| daftykins | sl33k_: no, it can also be installed via the metapackage 'xubuntu-desktop' | 16:40 |
| sl33k_ | my install is ubuntu | 16:40 |
| sl33k_ | daftykins: essentially that package runs on top of ubuntu | 16:41 |
| sl33k_ | Am I on the same page? | 16:41 |
| daftykins | sl33k_: packages are software for installing. it installs :) | 16:41 |
| sl33k_ | :) | 16:41 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: youre basically on xubuntu :p | 16:41 |
| OerHeks | !purexfce | 16:42 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 16:42 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: until you install another desktop and try that ! :) | 16:42 |

| kupo_ | yeah. dont want lubuntu. lxde is fine. just wanted ppa for updates for it. i shold try the new qt version. heard good things | 16:46 |
| dw1 | dbugger: at the bottom of youtube if you click Try something new it might offer you HTML5 as the default player - maybe it will help | 16:47 |

| ikonia | because chef is not simple | 16:53 |
| xeno | That is not a reasonable answer. | 16:54 |
| ikonia | it is | 16:54 |
| ikonia | you want a simple version of something that's not simple | 16:54 |
| dw1 | dannyedwrds: installing fglrx-installer might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 16:54 |
| ikonia | it's unreasonble to ask for something like that | 16:54 |
| dw1 | dannyedwrds: then you might get to desktop by running 'lightdm' | 16:54 |
| dannyedwrds | dw1: but how would I install graphics drivers if I can't even see the screen | 16:55 |

| MagicMadJam | is this the help channel? | 17:01 |
| geraldbrent | Yes indeed! | 17:01 |
| MagicMadJam | Well, I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I dont seem to have sound | 17:01 |
| GTRsdk | So I switched to a new motherboard & CPU and now my Ubuntu doesn't boot | 17:01 |
| GTRsdk | Windows 7 does though | 17:01 |
| TheHypnotist | I was wondering, having recently been learning about windows 2012 server and all of it's active directory and many other features for managing a network.. Are there solution likes this for ubuntu / linux in general ? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: need more info than "won't boot" | 17:02 |
| GTRsdk | but after I get past GRUB all I see for Ubuntu us just a white _ on a black background | 17:02 |
| MagicMadJam | I followed the basic troubleshooting and alsamixer finds everything ok and gives me a slide board but in sound preferences, I only have a dummy output... ideas? | 17:02 |
| GTRsdk | no signs of loading | 17:02 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: boot into single user mode, remove the boot spash | 17:02 |
| ikonia | splash | 17:02 |
| GTRsdk | ikonia: What do I do at GRUB to get into that? | 17:03 |
| ikonia | the easy way is to use the recovery menu item from grub | 17:03 |
| MagicMadJam | geraldbrent: ideas? | 17:04 |
| GTRsdk | ah so then that should get me to the "enter root password for maintainance or press Control+D to continue"? | 17:04 |
| ikonia | it shouldn't ask you for the root password as there is no root password in ubuntu | 17:04 |
| dannyedwrds | Well I wasn't able to get into the terminal at all | 17:05 |
| GTRsdk | alright. I'll reboot and try it. | 17:05 |
| MagicMadJam | I just dont get why it says dummy output. | 17:06 |
| dannyedwrds | Well after the boot screen is still at a black screen with no back light and I can't get into the terminal and am not able to get to the terminal | 17:06 |

| MagicMadJam | Back, force alsa to reload didnt work | 17:15 |
| MagicMadJam | I still have a dummy output even though alsamixer in terminal says I have intel | 17:15 |
| geraldbrent | :( | 17:16 |
| LonelyDanbo | ok. it's not the NES emulator that's mapping my gamepad controls to strange crap, because I just uninstalled it and it's still moving the damned mouse cursor. | 17:18 |
| MagicMadJam | reboot? | 17:18 |
| MagicMadJam | LonelyDanbo: reboot? | 17:19 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh. do I need to do that too? k. | 17:19 |
| MagicMadJam | LonelyDanbo: not entirely sure but probably would help. | 17:20 |
| Jiraffe_ | What does this error mean? bit.ly/1oB5crX ? | 17:20 |
| LonelyDanbo | Nope. gamepad still moving the mouse cursor. | 17:21 |
| LonelyDanbo | buttons do strange things too. one pastes my clipboard. the other does mouse right-click. | 17:22 |
| cere | ciao | 17:23 |
| LonelyDanbo | I didn't know Xubuntu had a default installed to handle gamepads. | 17:24 |
| random_user12312 | Hello, how to run a graphic program as root? kdesu and sudo dont do it right. | 17:24 |
| MagicMadJam | LonelyDanbo: im not sure. that's not good. It seems that the nes emulator or whatever you install remapped your keyboard keys, you might want to search hwo to restore your system's keymappings | 17:24 |
| bekks | random_user12312: sudo messed up .Xauthority permissions,, and gksu and kdesu do it just right, | 17:24 |
| dannyedwrds | Well after the boot screen is still at a black screen with no back light and I can't get into the terminal and am not able to get to the terminal | 17:25 |
| dannyedwrds | any ideas what i can do? | 17:25 |
| MagicMadJam | brb restarting to try and fix my audio problem | 17:25 |
| random_user12312 | bekks: thank you, gksu does it right, thank you | 17:26 |
| LonelyDanbo | what's a "system keymapping"? | 17:27 |
| LonelyDanbo | is it just the keyboard? why would a gamepad be part of that? | 17:27 |
| xeno | <bekks> xeno: That means you are not using an official vbox release. Ask the Ubuntu support then, or use an official release. | 17:28 |
| Samson | Hi from Netherlands | 17:29 |
| LonelyDanbo | god I hate my life. why can't simple things just work. | 17:30 |
| woof-woof | Hi from Brazil! > Samson | 17:30 |
| Geo | I upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04, and now my mail server seems to be bouncing messages. Where/how should I start troubleshooting? | 17:30 |
| Samson | sorry can not good engelisch | 17:30 |
| bekks | xeno: Forming a full question qould be helpful for all the others. | 17:30 |
| xeno | The trouble is, I am cloning a virtualbox vm, and when I clone it from a saved state which is booted with a setting to generate a new MAC accress, I do not get the new MAC address, but the booted one on the source vm. | 17:31 |
| Samson | Wie is hier nederlands???? | 17:31 |
| DJones | !nl | Samson | 17:31 |
| ubottu | Samson: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl | 17:31 |
| xeno | VBGUI version 4.3.10_Ubuntu | 17:31 |
| bekks | xeno: Provide the important part too: you are using a vbox version from the ubuntu repos. | 17:31 |
| LonelyDanbo | what would remap a gamepad's controls to move the mouse cursor? someone said "system keymappings" but isn't that the keyboard? | 17:31 |
| bekks | xeno: and there is no such things as "VBGUI", but just "VirtualBox". | 17:32 |
| xeno | Yes, thank you bekks. I am using a Virtualbox version as installed from standard Debian. My Debian is | 17:32 |
| Samson | ubottu in ubunto softwarecentrum??? | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Samson: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:32 |
| GTRsdk | ikonia: recovery mode worked :D | 17:32 |
| bekks | xeno: For debian support please seek the debian support channels. :) | 17:32 |
| xeno | Sorry, Ubuntu... | 17:33 |
| xeno | My Ubuntu is 14.04. | 17:33 |
| bekks | xeno: Pastebin "lsb_release -a" please as well as "apt-cache search virtualbox" | 17:33 |
| Samson | is er ook een chat voor nederlands talig? | 17:34 |
| bekks | !nl | Samson | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Samson: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl | 17:34 |
| xeno | So, to recapitulate, I am booted, I save the state to a booted state that is not running. I clone the virtualbox with the setting to regenerate the MAC address to a new one, and that creates a virtualbox vm that still has the original's MAC address | 17:34 |
| Samson | ok | 17:34 |
| bekks | xeno: Please provide the information requested. | 17:34 |
| xeno | When I do the same thing with a virtualbox that is shut down, not saved in a booted state, then it DOES generate the new MAC address. | 17:35 |
| xeno | The combination used is virtualbox installed on Ubuntu 14.04, but I am installing Debian on the virtualboxes themselves. | 17:35 |
| xeno | I have not tested with Ubuntu on the virtualboxes themselves, but presumably that is not the issue. | 17:36 |
| bekks | xeno: I take that as you dont want to provide the information requested. Good luck in getting support for your issue. | 17:36 |
| xeno | bekks: lease clarify any information I have left out. | 17:36 |
| ErvisTusha | hi all | 17:36 |
| ErvisTusha | how can i submit my app to Ubuntu Software Center ? | 17:36 |
| bekks | xeno: The information request you ignored was "< bekks> xeno: Pastebin "lsb_release -a" please as well as "apt-cache search virtualbox"" - and I am not going to support issues when I have to request information three times. | 17:37 |
| bekks | or even more times. | 17:38 |
| xeno | Here is the pastebin bekks is suggesting, I think: http://pastebin.com/x4e3PjJt | 17:39 |
| xeno | Please clarify if anything else should be provided. | 17:39 |
| bekks | xeno: Ask someone else please. | 17:40 |
| xeno | Looks bekks, I am trying to follow your instructions. It is not very helpful to get impatient and not give a person time to follow through. | 17:41 |
| xeno | In fact, I suspect it's against nettiquette. | 17:41 |
| Yelu | xeno, if it's not only for comfort reasons, try command line with your cloned machine in OFF state (see manual): VBoxManage modifyvm <yourvm> --macaddress<1-N> auto|<mac> => With this option you can set the MAC address of the virtual network card. Normally, each virtual network card is assigned a random address by VirtualBox at VM creation | 17:41 |
| zonovroman | Somebody, who knows when dpm will be online? | 17:42 |
| xeno | Yelu: Okay, thank you. | 17:42 |
| Yelu | xeno, the randomizer for a new mac is to be implemented yet | 17:42 |
| Yelu | ;) | 17:42 |
| xeno | Meanwhile, I can submit a formal bug if that would be helpful. | 17:42 |
| whitehat | have ubuntu 14.04. anyone know of a way to save state between sessions, including all open programs in all workspaces? | 17:43 |
| bekks | xeno: In fact, I am supporting people in my free time. There is no god given right granted to you to be supported by me. I am the only one who decides to support people under which circumstances. I told you I am not supporting people when I have to ask three time or more for teh same requested information. If you dont accept that. just move on. Thats it. End of discussion. | 17:43 |
| xeno | Oh wait, are you kidding? It works sometimes. | 17:43 |
| mamece2 | bekks: Hi, i have a question about dd. I have a 1 TB hd, i made a 800 Gb partition, now i can make a image with dd from my 750 GB external drive to the 800GB partition , right? | 17:44 |
| xeno | Yelu: Do you mean it is only beta. As I said, it works when I clone from a non-booted state. | 17:44 |
| bekks | mamece2: Yes. | 17:44 |
| bekks | Yelu: the randomizer just works fine, the solution is that the mac address in a saved state cant be changed. | 17:45 |
| Yelu | xeno, I had no problems under 12.04 LTS, but also your error description is new to me. - I'll test this next week under 14.04 (so you are ahead with your knowledge ...) | 17:46 |

| mamece2 | bekks: i dont need to do that from a live CD. amirite? its not necessary | 17:47 |
| SchrodingersScat | mirak: it's in the repos, an 'apt-get install debootstrap' should install it. | 17:47 |
| mirak | SchrodingersScat, I have it, I am on quantal. | 17:47 |
| SchrodingersScat | mirak: what are you trying to do? | 17:47 |
| bekks | mamece2: the source has to be offline, which means not mounted, used by anything else, etc. | 17:47 |

| mcphail | Hi. I'm thinking of getting an AMD A10-6700 APU to replace my current system which has a low-end nvidia card. Does anyone have any experience with the current iteration of the open-source radeon drivers? Would this be suitable for general use and light gaming without installing the proprietary drivers? | 18:04 |
| geraldbrent | mcphail: I've had mixed results, but they seem to work well enough. | 18:05 |
| mcphail | geraldbrent: mixed? in what way? | 18:05 |
| geraldbrent | Some of the computers I tried it on had some issues with choppiness. Others ran extemely smooth. | 18:06 |
| mcphail | geraldbrent: was this a discrete GPU or one of the combined APUs? | 18:06 |
| geraldbrent | Oh, didn't see that. I've never dealt with APU's, but I'm sure that it would be fine. | 18:07 |
| newbie|2 | I would like to backup my cell phone, a Sony Xperia SP, to my desktop computer. I haven't yet succeeded. Anyone wanna help me? | 18:08 |
| newbie|2 | The cell phone is connected to the computer | 18:08 |
| mcphail | geraldbrent: cheers. The drivers seem much better with the built-in ATi chip on my old socket 939 mobo so I think I'll give it a try. If it doesn'twork with the current kernel I'm sure it will soon. Thanks! | 18:08 |
| geraldbrent | :) | 18:09 |
| Pessimist | mcphail: last time I checked hd5000-hd6000~ had the best performance with radeon. If you have a new gpu you will have to use catalyst to get a proper performance, radeon is slow to catch up | 18:09 |
| GTRsdk | okay so to add more information as to what I'm experiencing | 18:10 |

| GTRsdk | before I had a dual core Core 2 Duo on an Intel Desktop Board, now I use an Xeon L5410 (quad core) on an MSI G41M-P33 | 18:11 |

| newbie|2 | daftykins: You saw it right. I put it in MTP mode (it wasn't in that mode before) | 18:17 |
| daftykins | newbie|2: ah-ha! so now you should get it either automatically open a window when you plug it in - and the screen is unlocked, or you can open the 'files' program | 18:18 |
| mamece2 | we noobs STAND ALONE | 18:18 |
| mcphail | Pessimist: I've never found benchmark sites like Phoronix very helpful as they never reflect the qualitative experience. The last time I tried the readeon drivers they were slow, blurry and corrupted the display through HDMI. They seem much better now. I'd like to ditch nvidia as soon as possible.

| ubuntuinharmony | What syntax errors? | 18:34 |
| ubuntuinharmony | Ubuntu One backup? | 18:34 |
| ratskinmahoney | ubuntuinharmony: how broken? can you still sudo? | 18:34 |
| Bluewolf | How do I run a .sh file in my downloads through the terminal? | 18:34 |
| bekks | ubuntuinharmony: Define "broken" please. | 18:34 |
| ubuntuinharmony | Like, not even being able to use gksudo | 18:34 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: anyway, pastebin these "cat /etc/resolv.conf" "nslookup google.com" now connect to the VPN and run again "nslookup google.com" and "ping 8.8.8.8" (press ctrl+c to stop this after 4 or more packets have been sent) | 18:35 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: that depends, what is it? | 18:35 |
| Bluewolf | daftykins: HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh | 18:35 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: you're absolutely sure there's no better way to install that? | 18:36 |
| daftykins | (i have no idea what it is) | 18:36 |
| ratskinmahoney | ubuntuinharmony: will need to go into recovery mode to get to root, then. I'd advise looking up a copy of a 'standard' sudoers file, if you didn't take your own backup, and replacing the broken one | 18:36 |
| Vivekananda | okay trying that now | 18:36 |
| ubuntuinharmony | What counts as "standard"? | 18:36 |
| ratskinmahoney | And thence, only ever to edit the file via visudo | 18:37 |

| daftykins | Bluewolf: so open a terminal, navigate to where that file is (probably just type "cd ~/Downloads" then "chmod +x HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh" then "./HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh" | 18:38 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: well i would do a quick google check to see that that's the best way to get that game running on ubuntu | 18:38 |
| bekks | ubuntuinharmony: What is your actual issue with the sudoers file? | 18:39 |
| ubuntuinharmony | Is there a way to get a kernel panic in Ubuntu? | 18:39 |
| bekks | ubuntuinharmony: Yes. | 18:39 |
| bekks | ubuntuinharmony: But whats your issue with the sudoers file? | 18:39 |
| ubuntuinharmony | How? | 18:39 |
| bekks | ubuntuinharmony: Whats your actual support issue? | 18:40 |
| * daftykins is sensing troll potential | 18:40 | |
| Pessimist | ubuntuinharmony: kill 1 | 18:41 |
| Bluewolf | daftykins: Yeah I have checke and what you say confirms that. chmod +x HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh does nothing and ./HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh says "bash: ./HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Text file busy" | 18:41 |

| Vivekananda | no nslookup / ping working after net connection to vpn. Also I am using vpn coz thta is the only thing available to me from the user of the remote network | 18:45 |
| gadgetroid_ | irhass: what is the problem with it? | 18:45 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: ok, so something has totally reconfigured your connection to break more than just DNS. are you handling the VPN entirely through network-manager? | 18:46 |
| Bluewolf | daftykins: 2,2GB - HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh, Thats strange I downloaded it through the terminal because of my internet connection - wget -c http://dl.heroesofnewerth.com/HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh | 18:46 |
| irhass | cant record any voicea | 18:46 |
| mamece2 | bekks: so if its says its a .txt it will leave it like that? | 18:46 |
| irhass | *voicea | 18:46 |
| Vivekananda | yes | 18:46 |
| irhass | voices i mean | 18:46 |
| bekks | mamece2: file extensions have no meaning in linux. | 18:46 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: ok try "sh HoNClient-3.2.7.1.sh" | 18:46 |
| SchrodingersScat | mamece2: it might look at file header, so looking at the file to see how it identifies vs known headers, because the filename means nothing. | 18:47 |
| Vivekananda | but I mistakenly also installed openvpn client using sudo apt-get and then ran it once ( was before I restarted the system) using - openvpn --cofigure client.ovpn | 18:47 |
| lucastt | i tried to install 32libs(sudo apt-get install ia32-libs), and it threw some errors | 18:47 |
| lucastt | it says it was impossible to fix the problems, because i held broken packages | 18:47 |
| lucastt | and that the package has unmet dependencies | 18:47 |
| bekks | lucastt: can you pastebin the entire output please? | 18:47 |
| gadgetroid_ | irhass: Which version of Ubuntu? | 18:47 |

| gadgetroid_ | irhass, also, what is your config? | 18:48 |
| MonkeyDust | lucastt what's the outcome of cat /etc/issue | 18:48 |
| mamece2 | SchrodingersScat: bekks what about the folders? I can see he recovers the files into recover.1 and so on. will i get the folder in its original order? | 18:48 |
| Pessimist | lucastt: tell us what ubuntu version you are using :) | 18:48 |
| lucastt | bekks, i could, but the output is in Portuguese | 18:48 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: have you removed that package since? | 18:48 |

| lucastt | http://pastebin.com/DAh8c00D | 18:49 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: ok, you're going to need to delve into the game's support forum and/or look around at how to run/install it with ubuntu. this is their responsibility, not ubuntu's | 18:50 |
| mamece2 | What would you experts use to migrate your hd info to a new hd? | 18:50 |
| bekks | mamece2: cp or rsync | 18:50 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: i'm not convinced the settings are right for ignoring routes and so on with your VPN setup, but i don't use one myself to comment. | 18:50 |
| Decstasy | mamece2 dd | 18:50 |

| bekks | lucastt: Did you try to install that missing package? | 18:51 |
| MonkeyDust | hpprinter100 upgrade to a supported release, then ask again | 18:51 |
| mamece2 | !eol | 18:51 |

| Bluewolf | daftykins: Fair enough it there problem, but is the file itself okay? | 18:52 |
| Decstasy | bekks that belongs how you use it :) | 18:52 |
| lucastt | bekks, no, i tought i wouldn't need. should i? | 18:52 |
| sysop_host | if you're going to dd you might as well use dcfldd as it gives you real time feedback at least | 18:52 |
| bekks | lucastt: Well, the error message states that a package is missing. | 18:52 |
| SchrodingersScat | Bluewolf: did you see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1384398/usr-bin-perl-bad-interpreter-text-file-busy ; do you have the file open somewhere? | 18:52 |
| daftykins | Bluewolf: i have no way of knowing. by using google with your error i found: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?334533-Can-t-install-Initial-Setup-Failed | 18:52 |

| lucastt | the last time i installed ia32-libs it broke my theme engine | 18:53 |
| mamece2 | GTRsdk: cp home will not copy my system configuration or program's version, right? | 18:53 |
| sysop_host | i've experienced issues with ia32-libs and nvidia cards | 18:53 |
| GTRsdk | mamece2: if you want to copy everything, use dd or copy from / | 18:53 |
| Bluewolf | daftykins: Me too. | 18:53 |
| Vivekananda | daftykins: all I have done is to import the vnp client.ovpn file into the vpn and started it. Did I need to set up more things manually ? if so I am stuck. What do I need to do to get this to work ? | 18:53 |
| Geo | My dovecot server is giving bouncebacks since my upgrade to 12.04... "no such domain" . Where/how should I start troubleshooting this? | 18:54 |
| lucastt | i don't have a nvidia card, all i have is an intel onboard card | 18:54 |
| bekks | lucastt: Install the missing package ;) | 18:54 |
| lucastt | which one? | 18:54 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: disable using DNS on the remote system, disable using the remote system as the default gateway and to read up on how VPNs work more so you can find out what's going wrong too :) | 18:54 |
| daftykins | !vpn | Vivekananda | 18:54 |
| ubottu | Vivekananda: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 18:54 |
| bekks | lucastt: The missing package from the latest pastebin | 18:54 |
| lucastt | ...archs:i386? | 18:54 |
| bekks | lucastt: Yes. | 18:54 |
| lucastt | ok | 18:54 |
| ilhami | this vim editor is pretty advanced. It is not as I expected :D I need some GUI editor.. Are there any good ones? | 18:55 |
| Vivekananda | dafy okay | 18:55 |
| Bluewolf | SchrodingersScat: Good to see you, No I don't have it open anywhere as it is not running as it should. Its freezing up gedit? | 18:55 |
| lucastt | bekks, same error | 18:55 |
| bekks | lucastt: Impossible, the error will have changed :) | 18:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | Bluewolf: sorry, i was way late, seems your past that problem. | 18:55 |
| lucastt | http://pastebin.com/yc3nyWXH | 18:55 |
| bekks | lucastt: So a third missing package is mentioned ;) | 18:56 |
| Bluewolf | SchrodingersScat: Indeed, how ever I feel something could have happened to the download? | 18:56 |
| lucastt | it's not | 18:56 |
| lucastt | it's literally the same message | 18:56 |
| bekks | lucastt: So install the missing package missing in line 12. | 18:57 |
| lucastt | if you open side by side both links,all that changes is the command | 18:57 |
| lucastt | it says it's not going to be installed | 18:57 |
| bekks | lucastt: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 | 18:57 |
| lucastt | gosh, i have so many issues with my distro | 18:57 |
| lucastt | bekks, i think that will break my distro | 18:58 |
| MonkeyDust | lucastt that's called "learning" | 18:58 |
| bekks | lucastt: Because...? | 18:58 |
| lucastt | it's elementary OS | 18:58 |
| lucastt | which has a different theme engine | 18:58 |
| lucastt | and if i install another theme engine | 18:58 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, not supported here, lucastt | 18:58 |
| lucastt | i see | 18:58 |
| bekks | lucastt: Well, then seek the elementary OS support please. | 18:58 |
| lucastt | i tought i would be able to fix that on #ubuntu | 18:58 |
| lucastt | i'm probably going to switch distros again... | 18:59 |
| daftykins | !elementary | lucastt | 18:59 |
| ubottu | lucastt: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 18:59 |
| === BatBot is now known as Bucky | ||
| === Bucky is now known as Bukky | ||
| lucastt | its support is very bad | 19:00 |
| daftykins | sounds about right | 19:00 |
| lucastt | every time i asked there they wouldn't reply | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | lucastt tip: use a distro with good support | 19:00 |
| lucastt | i'm switching to ubuntu | 19:00 |
| ilhami | what is the best terminal for Ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| ilhami | I have this terminal which doesnt accept a dragged file | 19:00 |
| ilhami | thats pretty bad | 19:00 |
| lucastt | i'm using elementary os because i find it very beautiful | 19:01 |
| GTRsdk | gnome-terminal is good | 19:01 |
| lucastt | i guess i shouldn't have chosen just because of that | 19:01 |
| daftykins | lucastt: correct! | 19:01 |
| lucastt | now another question | 19:01 |
| lucastt | how do i remove Elementary OS? lol | 19:02 |
| lucastt | without loosing my stuff | 19:02 |
| lucastt | i have Windows 7 on dual boot | 19:02 |
| GTRsdk | lucastt: how much do you need to backup? | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | lucastt backup first, then install new system | 19:02 |
| lucastt | can i do a "triple" boot? | 19:02 |
| daftykins | lucastt: us not supporting it includes how to get rid of it ;) | 19:02 |
| bekks | lucastt: sure. | 19:02 |
| lucastt | daftykins, ok, sorry | 19:03 |
| GTRsdk | you can but it adds more pain than it is worth sometimes | 19:03 |
| ilhami | Yeah gnome terminal is good | 19:03 |
| ilhami | thanks | 19:03 |
| lucastt | the last time i reinstalled Elementary, i deleted its partitions | 19:03 |
| lucastt | which wasn't a happy choice | 19:03 |
| lucastt | because i also removed GRUB | 19:03 |
| lucastt | i mean, i broke it | 19:04 |
| lucastt | it wouldn't open any OS | 19:04 |
| GTRsdk | there's ways to fix GRUB | 19:04 |
| daftykins | lucastt: ok, ubuntu support questions only please. you're welcome to speak of elementary in #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:04 |
| lucastt | GTRsdk, yeah, i fixed it | 19:05 |
| lucastt | daftykins, sorry, i stopped. | 19:05 |
| Vivekananda | daftykins: that vpn info is upto 10.04 only I have tried the steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient but no good :( | 19:05 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: yeah there'll be more documentation available online i'm sure | 19:05 |
| GTRsdk | Is the first boot after a new CPU usually slow? | 19:06 |
| bekks | GTRsdk: no | 19:06 |
| stoo_ | stoowho | 19:06 |
| Vivekananda | I am trying to look but if you know of one that talks about network connections grounds up would be very helpful | 19:06 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: no, not off hand | 19:07 |
| GTRsdk | bekks: weird... my boots have been very slow with this new CPU which is supposed to be faster than my old one | 19:07 |
| GTRsdk | though it could be a motherboard issue too | 19:07 |
| GTRsdk | as I switched that too | 19:07 |

| stoo_ | BORING | 19:13 |
| === Xulai_ is now known as Xulai | ||

| Pessimist | GTRsdk: cpupower is a great userland tool to change cpu governor | 19:16 |
| Pessimist | a set of tools* | 19:17 |
| GTRsdk | Pessimist: does that activate the governor as soon as the system begins loading, or is it later on the boot? | 19:18 |
| GTRsdk | I think I'll play it safe with baking a kernel with just performance mode lol | 19:18 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins apt-term.log indicates that upgrading squid failed... i want to uninstall that after the update anyway | 19:18 |
| GTRsdk | my CPU is efficient enough... no need to save more watts | 19:18 |

| wols_ | daftykins: someone asked about a side by side installation besides windows 7 for ubuntu in another forum. SO I wanted to make sure this wasn't wubi he was referring to. I told him to resize his windows partition to make some room | 19:24 |
| Geo | this started happening after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 | 19:24 |
| Decstasy | Geo but there must be a dns mx entry | 19:24 |
| Beldar | sl33k_, Do some research and stop having this channel hold your hand!!! | 19:24 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins what do you think about uninstalling the failed squid packaged first? | 19:24 |
| Geo | for the sending IP, correct? | 19:24 |
| TomyLobo | packages* | 19:25 |
| Geo | or the receiving IP | 19:25 |
| TomyLobo | i want to get rid of them anyway | 19:25 |
| bekks | Geo: both | 19:25 |
| Beldar | this channel should be #ubuntu-enabling | 19:25 |
| daftykins | wols_: ah i see | 19:25 |
| sl33k_ | Beldar: see my previous message to OerHeks | 19:25 |
| Decstasy | geo for meh.edu | 19:25 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: well you'll need to wait until APT and dpkg are happy first | 19:25 |
| TomyLobo | i think that'll make them happy :) | 19:25 |
| OerHeks | sl33k_, see http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/add-new-items as xfce is a little different than xubuntu | 19:26 |
| Decstasy | Geo it is rejected because the recieving server cannot validate youre address | 19:26 |
| TomyLobo | oww, aptitude lists a shitton of packages as autoremoved | 19:26 |
| Geo | I own the receiving server, Im' not getting any emails to it | 19:26 |
| Geo | And they're coming from places like gmail, yahoo, etc | 19:26 |
| TomyLobo | well, marked for autoremoval | 19:26 |
| Geo | MX records exist for all | 19:26 |
| Geo | its 100% failing | 19:27 |
| TomyLobo | what the heck | 19:27 |
| TomyLobo | i installed some of those packages | 19:27 |
| TomyLobo | xsel, for instance | 19:27 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: please try and keep the general chatter to a minimum and focus on questions and answers only, plus stop pressing enter so much :P | 19:27 |
| Decstasy | Geo please give me the address youre trying to send a message. I will try it with mine (from my own server) | 19:28 |
| TomyLobo | yeah sorry, i'm just a bit disturbed about the upgrade uninstalling packages i manually installed | 19:28 |
| Someboba2 | Does anyone know if it's possible to automatically start three terminal sessions, stacked on the left hand side of a wide screen display? | 19:28 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: i hope you backed up. | 19:28 |
| TomyLobo | or rather, marking them as automatically installed | 19:28 |
| TomyLobo | yes, but i dont want to use that :/ | 19:28 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: gnome-session-flashback <3 | 19:28 |
| Geo | Decstasy: you'd get an email back with delayed delivery error message: Diagnostic-Code: smtp;450 4.1.8 <bla@gmail.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found | 19:29 |
| Geo | but thank you | 19:29 |
| Geo | however | 19:29 |
| Geo | doing a dig on my machine returns A records, but I dont' see MX records listed | 19:29 |
| Geo | dig gmail.com all | 19:29 |
| Geo | Shouldn't that display MX records as well? | 19:29 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: :) | 19:30 |
| Geo | nm, dig gmail.com mx shows them | 19:30 |
| TomyLobo | ok next dialog is less scary "update complete but there were errors during the upgrade process" | 19:30 |
| dw1 | sl33k_: http://i.imgur.com/MyXz4hq.png look them nice icons :P | 19:30 |
| Decstasy | try dig domain.com MX | 19:30 |
| wols_ | Geo: "all" is not a proper option | 19:30 |
| sl33k_ | OerHeks: ok I found Audio mixer. But could not locate battery widget | 19:31 |
| Geo | ah ha! | 19:33 |
| sl33k_ | dw1: that DE is definitely a treat for the eyes | 19:33 |
| Geo | /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf is empty | 19:34 |
| Geo | obviously. | 19:34 |
| OerHeks | sl33k_, maybe you want these widgets http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/xfce4-goodies if not installed already | 19:34 |
| Decstasy | Geo as i sait DNS problem :D | 19:34 |
| Geo | nah | 19:34 |
| Geo | postfix! | 19:34 |
| Geo | I'm guessing the upgrade gave me a new postfix that decides to chroot /var/spool/postfix | 19:34 |
| Decstasy | Geo Nope postfix uses DNS ;) | 19:34 |
| Geo | b/c /etc/resolv.conf is fine | 19:34 |
| Decstasy | Geo anyways. it was a pleasure to help you :) | 19:35 |
| Geo | can anyone confirm that? What the difference between 10.04 and 12.04 postfix is, and why resolv.conf got blanked after an upgrade? | 19:36 |
| Decstasy | Geo should be in a mail archive... somewhere... out there... | 19:37 |
| Geo | heh | 19:37 |
| Geo | well, now dovecot is saying it is having issues | 19:38 |
| Geo | this is why i hate upgrading | 19:38 |
| bekks | Geo: Next update will take place in 5 years ;) | 19:38 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins the update also said it's going to remove kdm. any idea why? | 19:39 |
| TomyLobo | this is kubuntu, btw | 19:39 |
| Geo | dovecot didnt seem to update any config files in the upgrade | 19:39 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: heh, sounds pretty nasty. however, where are you reading this? | 19:40 |
| Decstasy | I prefer to get a output of installed packages and export my configs and homefolder. Then i do a fresh install and import everything. Its better than doing a upgrade - i dont thrust that | 19:40 |
| sl33k_ | OerHeks: That should work. Thanks! | 19:40 |
| sl33k_ | It's a confirmed bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/1302462 | 19:40 |

| TomyLobo | daftykins well it *is* gone | 19:40 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: have you finished with these programs and returned to a terminal yet? | 19:41 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins was it demoted from being the default display manager, maybe ? | 19:41 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins i fixed the package state with aptitude now | 19:42 |
| daftykins | right but at no point have you run the commands i asked for :) | 19:42 |
| TomyLobo | well i ran the aptitude equivalent of those, minus a few packages i really didnt want it to uninstall, plus uninstalling squid | 19:43 |
| TomyLobo | ran through nicely, no errors, no warnings or anything | 19:43 |
| sl33k_ | Just out of curiosity what this workaround does that is written there: ("""As a workaround, put "INDICATOR_ALLOW_NO_WATCHERS=yes" in /etc/environment and reboot""") | 19:43 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: so what does "cat /etc/issue" report? | 19:44 |
| TomyLobo | 13.10 | 19:44 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: is that what you were on or what you are upgrading to? :) | 19:45 |

| blind | I use an apt repository that requires specific ssl certs. I have the certs, I can use them in a curl command and hit the repository, and I've created an apt.conf.d file that says to use these certs, but it doesn't seem like apt-get is doing it - i get gnutls errors during an apt-get update complaining it can't hit that repo | 19:50 |
| blind | what might i be missing? i have the proper packages (apt-transport-https) | 19:50 |
| Geo | is anyone familiar enough with dovecot over the years to tell me- upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, there were significant changes to dovecot that a 10.04 config no longer works. I inserted a current dovecot.conf; but now there are may other files that have errors in them ( /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf for instance). Do I need to run through all these files, or are they still needed? | 19:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Geo in #ubuntu-server perhaps | 19:51 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins i was upgrading from 13.04 | 19:53 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: check /etc/apt/sources.list refers to saucy and not raring, then do a full "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then make sure kubuntu-desktop is installed | 19:54 |

| === aaron is now known as Aaron | ||
| MonkeyDust | sl33k_ what makes you ask that question? | 20:09 |
| Aaron | when you do apt-get update if is complaining about a gpg key then yeah you have to add it | 20:09 |
| sl33k_ | Maybe I saw something along the lines of GPG when installing a package | 20:11 |
| Aaron | check the message sl33k_ | 20:11 |
| Aaron | it might be crucial | 20:11 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins update updates from saucy, dist-upgrade has nothing to do, i manually removed kubuntu-desktop a while ago in order to be able to get rid of a few resource hogs | 20:12 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: but that means there's nothing keeping your KDE setup there... | 20:12 |
| zelun | hi everyone | 20:13 |
| drbyt3 | hi | 20:13 |
| TomyLobo | daftykins i set them to manually installed | 20:13 |

| sl33k_ | echo "this is the body" | mail -s "this is the subject" "to@address" | 20:13 |
| TomyLobo | so there's that keeping them there :) | 20:13 |
| TomyLobo | but i'll reinstall it. looks like those resource hogs went to "recommends" | 20:13 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: installing kubuntu-desktop^ with the circumflex should make sure any dependancies are on, then you'd be in a safer situation to try a reboot and see if you still have a system | 20:15 |
| sl33k_ | sorry for the improper formatting | 20:15 |
| TomyLobo | kubuntu-desktop recommends plasma-widget-facebook... what the heck | 20:17 |

| smiremp | hunt, ubuntu's one | 20:59 |
| hunt | Gotinia: no | 20:59 |
| hunt | smiremp: isnt it rather large? | 20:59 |
| qin_ | TomyLobo: sudo dpkg --configure -a; and then apt-get | 20:59 |
| smiremp | GOTINIA, You can use any major OS for that | 20:59 |
| hunt | Gotinia: it doesnt really matter what os you use | 20:59 |
| smiremp | hunt, I dont understand your question. I was suggesting fixing or disabling sleep on your machine | 21:00 |
| daftykins | GOTINIA: that is an inappropriate question for here, please go elsewhere. | 21:00 |
| Hazzard | lol | 21:00 |
| TomyLobo | qin_ what if they fail configuring? | 21:00 |
| hunt | smiremp: oh sorry i misunderstood you | 21:00 |
| TomyLobo | like, all the time | 21:00 |
| GOTINIA | I see. My girlfrined was hacked and ask me for hele before 1 week. So she dont have any key logger and use only her pc. May be they trace her router. | 21:00 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: unless they come here themselves we can't help, we don't do proxy assistance | 21:00 |
| GOTINIA | daftykins: ok.. I just asked for possibility not to do that :) Tnx | 21:01 |
| TomyLobo | well i can see what's wrong and fix it if i can install aptitude | 21:01 |
| smiremp | GOTINIA, 99% it's probab;y password re-use. That's usually how it's done | 21:01 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: right, but we're not here to help you to help others :) we need direct input | 21:02 |
| smiremp | TomyLobo, I think what he means is that's much harder to fix without direct info from the end user or the end user's actual system | 21:04 |
| sam_ | I use ubuntu 12.04 move to other pane is disabled when I right click on a icon. how do I enable it? | 21:04 |
| TomyLobo | sure, but i'm not asking for a fix, but for a way to install aptitude ignoring broken packages | 21:05 |
| daftykins | smiremp: i'm speaking English so i think i'm ok without an interpreter thanks ;) | 21:05 |
| daftykins | TomyLobo: you've been told you can't, you're asking to avoid a paradoxical situation | 21:05 |
| xangua | sam_: pane¿ move what¿ can you be more clear¿ | 21:05 |
| qin_ | TomyLobo: well, yuo would need to try to look into /var/lib/dpkg/status and try autoremove; autoclean; build-dep with apt-get and reconfigure, if it is ppa package just purge whole repository. | 21:05 |
| smiremp | daftykins, Your end user seems to be having trouble understanding you, however :-) | 21:05 |
| MonkeyDust | xangua 12.04 had the double panel option in nautilus | 21:06 |
| daftykins | smiremp: no, drop it now please. | 21:06 |
| xangua | sam_: if you want a double panel in the file browser you can install nemo, a for of nautolus before it being stripped down http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/install-nemo-with-unity-patches-and.html | 21:07 |
| sam_ | xangua: like when you right click on a icon you have copy to and move to in the list. the options for move to is Desktop, Home, and other pane. I what to know how to enable other pane, right now its grey | 21:07 |
| xangua | a fork* | 21:07 |
| smiremp | sam_, Do you have the other panes enabled? | 21:09 |
| sam_ | smiremp: no I don't have it enabled. how do I enable it??? | 21:09 |
| smiremp | sam_, Wait, I realise I don't actually understand your question. Please ignore me. | 21:10 |
| sam_ | smiremp: right click on an icon you have the option to to (move to) & (copy to) in move to you have these(Desktop,Home, and other pane) but other pane doesn't work for me its grey | 21:12 |
| enav | hello, i cant find the compiz setting manager for ubuntu 14.04 | 21:12 |
| smiremp | sam_, I don't have other pane there, I'm using Nautilus in Trusty. I guess they removed that at some point. If you can't get it fixed, you could try a different file manager as has already been suggested. | 21:14 |
| sam_ | smiremp: I also tried Trusty and I was happy with it until I tried to run a local swf file. trusty didn't support that so I fresh installed 12.04 | 21:15 |
| hennie | solidworks | 21:16 |
| fellayaboy | hey my ethernet is not working it says device not managed. my wifi works however | 21:17 |

| smiremp | sam_, Locally saved Flash? That *should* work in the browser if you load the flash plugin, you can open a flash file from the file system from there. One thing to be aware of, only google chrome (not chromium) has the most updated flash player for desktop linux | 21:18 |
| qin_ | Is it me or Vimeo do not recognise existence of Linux? | 21:19 |
| smiremp | (Life will be much easier once Flash dies) | 21:19 |
| smiremp | qin_, I can play vimeo, what is the error/problem? | 21:19 |
| sam_ | smiremp: I tried with all the browsers that work in linux. chrome.chromium.firefox.opera. none of them worked for me. but I didn't install a fresh 14.04 I upgraded 12.04 to trusty maybe thats why | 21:20 |
| === Maxwell175 is now known as MDTech-us_MAN | ||
| smiremp | sam_, Was it DRM protected file? | 21:21 |
| qin_ | smiremp: oups, I suspect me 12.04 has some dust on apt, let me update and see... | 21:21 |
| sam_ | smiremp: I'm not sure. there you can download the file in this page http://autoevony.jimdo.com/ | 21:22 |

| lambdaa | is possible to run ubuntu on macbook pro? | 21:28 |
| lambdaa | driver works well? | 21:28 |
| lambdaa | no glitchy? | 21:28 |
| daftykins | lambdaa: it is possible yes, mac ISOs exist for download. for how well it works, you'd have to look online for your specific model however | 21:30 |
| lambdaa | okay very thanks | 21:30 |
| smiremp | hrm i fixed his game but he left | 21:34 |
| MonkeyDust | brb | 21:35 |
| smiremp | That's slightly annoying. | 21:36 |
| daftykins | smiremp: welcome to giving support ;) | 21:36 |
| smiremp | daftykins, Truth be told I only did it to learn how the thing worked. However it would be nice to show off to the user. :-) | 21:36 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:38 |
| daftykins | BartDude: top | 21:38 |
| BartDude | daftykins: 100% sure? | 21:38 |
| daftykins | BartDude: you can always change, you won't be married to it | 21:38 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Thanks. :) | 21:38 |
| daftykins | BartDude: but yes a GTX 660 would benefit from being on the latest | 21:38 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Trying it now! | 21:39 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Do you know what happens to my old DE when I replace it with a new one? | 21:40 |
| daftykins | BartDude: the packages are still installed, but you can switch between by changing session type on the login screen, as far as i understand it | 21:41 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Is there a way to COMPLETELY remove my previous DE after installing a new one? | 21:41 |
| mirak | hello | 21:41 |
| jay_ | what software can list the name of deleted but recoverable files? | 21:41 |
| mirak | how do you change the versions of the propriétary graphic drivers from a command line ? | 21:41 |
| daftykins | BartDude: you wouldn't do it in that order and it wouldn't be without risk | 21:41 |
| daftykins | mirak: by installing the appropriate package | 21:42 |
| BartDude | daftykins: I see. :( | 21:42 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Do you know of any good Web Sites that lists all known DE, WM, and FM? | 21:42 |
| smiremp | BartDude, Just checking which DEs you mean: there are some bad combinations like Gnome 3.12 will break Unity right now until they fix that. | 21:42 |
| daftykins | BartDude: no | 21:42 |
| BartDude | smiremp: :O | 21:43 |
| BartDude | daftykins: Okay. | 21:43 |
| BartDude | smiremp: I probably won't touch anything then. | 21:43 |
| smiremp | smiremp, There are some known working ones in the Ubuntu repos: eg lubuntu, xubuntu | 21:43 |
| smiremp | smiremp, Pedants would say they aren't DEs ... but they wil replace the DE :-) | 21:44 |
| smiremp | BartDude, My last 2 are meant for you | 21:44 |
| BartDude | smiremp: Haha! I understood that. | 21:44 |

| BartDude | Should I always try to use the USC or find the latest packages on respective Web Site? | 21:45 |
| BartDude | Everyone is telling me different things. | 21:45 |
| daftykins | BartDude: packages in the USC will be kept up to date, .deb's downloaded cannot and will leave you stuck on older software | 21:46 |
| smiremp | BartDude, If it's in the USC it is 'safer'. However there is no objectively correct answer to your question. | 21:46 |
| daftykins | sure there is :) | 21:46 |
| BartDude | Thank you. | 21:47 |
| afidegnum | hello, pls i want to remove all that has to do with mysql installaiton on my sever while keeping the databse | 21:48 |
| afidegnum | what's the command to use? | 21:48 |
| afidegnum | I did apt-get remove mysql but nothig changed | 21:48 |
| daftykins | afidegnum: "dpkg -l | grep sql" will show you what's installed with 'sql' in the name | 21:49 |
| smiremp | afidegnum, Please backup the database before you continue | 21:49 |
| daftykins | afidegnum: backup as smiremp suggests then you can remove those packages | 21:49 |
| smiremp | afidegnum, copying the files might not be sufficient to back it up, in some configurations | 21:49 |
| afidegnum | ok | 21:50 |
| * ki7rw saw on adobe's website that they're dropping linux flashplayer support | 21:52 | |
| smiremp | ki7rw, They dropped it years ago. However Google took it over and bundle a proprietary flash player in Chrome | 21:52 |
| ki7rw | so, i have to use chrome instead of firefox? | 21:53 |
| smiremp | ki7rw, Firefox has 11.2 flash player. Chrome has 13.something. Some sites work on Firefox. You can get the current version into chromium with a hack | 21:53 |
| k1l | ki7rw: use the pepperflash plugin | 21:53 |
| k1l | !info pepperflash-plugin | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Package pepperflash-plugin does not exist in trusty | 21:54 |
| ki7rw | ok | 21:54 |
| k1l | !info pepperflash-plugin-nonfree | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Package pepperflash-plugin-nonfree does not exist in trusty | 21:54 |
| smiremp | Yea that pepperflash will get you the current one in Chromium | 21:54 |
| Aaron | is call flashplugin-nonfree | 21:54 |

| smiremp | k1l, really? That's news to me. I'll check it out/ | 21:55 |
| John_Donna | if I connect a camera via usb. Then disconnect the camera(it comes untethered) then reconnect it on the same port | 21:55 |

| John_Donna | if I connect it to a different USB it works fine | 21:55 |
| John_Donna | any ideas? | 21:55 |

| John_Donna | Brilliant :) any idea why it wont reconnect on disconnect? | 21:56 |
| John_Donna | ubuntu 12.04, problem just showed up | 21:56 |

| mirak | Aaron sorry i meant the driver version | 22:00 |
| John_Donna | Aaron do you think it has anything to do with me recently using the proprietary nvidia drivers? | 22:00 |

| ChaosTheory | Hi all. | 22:01 |
| mirak | Aaron jockey-text is not available | 22:01 |
| mirak | I can't install it | 22:01 |
| k1l | smiremp: thought it would work. but i cant invistigate that right now, sorry | 22:01 |
| Aaron | mirak: try searching for it; | 22:01 |
| fellayaboy | zykotick9, gonna reboot brb | 22:01 |
| kev999 | Any experts avail to answer my earlier question ^^ thanks | 22:02 |
| mirak | Aaron I already di that | 22:02 |
| mirak | did | 22:02 |
| Aaron | mirak: any luck? | 22:02 |
| Aaron | you can always get them directly the drivers from nvidia | 22:02 |
| mirak | Aaron I just need to know how how the version is selected | 22:03 |
| mirak | is it with alternatives ? | 22:03 |
| Aaron | depending on kernels you have; | 22:03 |
| kev999 | mirak can you remap keyboard keys temporarily? | 22:04 |
| mirak | ? | 22:04 |
| kev999 | to get the broken x | 22:04 |
| ChaosTheory | So I'm having some issues with 14.04 after an recent update of either compiz/compizconfig settings manager/xserver-xorg-video-ati/radeon. The issue is the UI seems sluggish, it was quite snappy before the update | 22:04 |
| mirak | kev999, what ? | 22:04 |
| zykotick9 | Aaron: debian's <why nvidia installer sucks> 18:03 <dpkg> nvidia-installer works fine for you today, granted. Let's say tomorrow Xorg is updated -- the nvidia driver will break. If you try to uninstall nvidia (nvidia-installer --uninstall), then you break Xorg badly. nvidia-installer overwrites files at random, and has NO CONCEPT of package management. | 22:04 |
| kev999 | ignore if I have misunderstood | 22:05 |
| Aaron | auch | 22:05 |
| Aaron | ouch | 22:05 |
| OerHeks | mirak, jockey-text is the old way, see here the new way > http://askubuntu.com/a/9465 | 22:06 |
| * smiremp wonders how much of that is caused by xorg getting a bit long in the tooth | 22:06 | |
| OerHeks | sudo ubuntu-drivers list | 22:06 |
| mirak | OerHeks, thanks, but I already found this page, and I don't see how it can be used to select the version | 22:07 |
| Hazzard | My booting problems are either because of plymouth-upstart-bridge or alocating swap | 22:07 |
| Hazzard | or maybe something else | 22:07 |
| imyerrow | hey guys how do i map a name to that of an executable or command? for instance, in the terminal, if i enter "hello" and press enter, it runs a program located at /somdirectory/to_some_program | 22:07 |
| OerHeks | mirak autoinstall takes the recommended version of the driverpackage you need | 22:07 |
| mirak | OerHeks, yes but I want to choose | 22:08 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, it searches your path. if you want a specific program in the current folder, use ./myprogname | 22:08 |
| nwg | what do you mean map? | 22:08 |
| mirak | OerHeks, i just want to do what you can do graphically with the driver manager | 22:08 |
| Aaron | imyerrow: usually on /usr/bin | 22:08 |
| mirak | but with a command line | 22:08 |
| mirak | because X crashes after a few minutes | 22:08 |
| OerHeks | mirak, then list it, and deploy the versionnumber from the list you get? | 22:08 |
| nwg | you can use the which command to determine the actual program that runs. | 22:08 |
| mirak | OerHeks, how do you do that ??? | 22:09 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: but i want to be at any folder | 22:09 |
| imyerrow | do i just add the path to the executable/command to the PATH environment variable? | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | imyerrow: fyi, ~/bin is a really handy place for "local" scripts/programs, as it's in $PATH by default. | 22:10 |
| imyerrow | i installed something and it isn't located in ~/bin | 22:10 |
| nwg | imyerrow: you could use a symbolic link to your executable. | 22:10 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, You could do that, but /usr/local/bin is traditional | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | imyerrow: sidenote, if you're creating the directory for the first time, you need to log out/back | 22:10 |
| mirak | OerHeks, do you understand the issue ? I have more than driver installed, but how can I choose the version that X will use ? | 22:11 |
| imyerrow | nwg: ok thanks, i think that is what i was after | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | smiremp: IMO /usr/local/bin, while quasi-ok, isn't as optimal as /opt with a link in ~/bin | 22:11 |
| imyerrow | i installed python 3 and want to use its pyvenv command to create virtual environment | 22:12 |
| terraformer | hey guys, quick question. can anyone tell me if it's possible to get the header bars in ubuntu 14.04? | 22:12 |
| imyerrow | but i dont want to have to type the full path to pyvenv command | 22:12 |
| Hazzard | hmm, it fixed itself | 22:12 |
| Hazzard | that's concerning ? | 22:12 |
| imyerrow | so basically i want to make it so that i don't have to type the full path to the command i want to execute | 22:13 |
| Hazzard | or not | 22:13 |
| nwg | terraformer: header bars?? | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | imyerrow: python3 isn't a "normal" program. best of luck. | 22:13 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, pyvenv should be in your path | 22:13 |
| terraformer | nwg, the top tittle bars like in ubuntu gnome, I think that's what they were called | 22:13 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: it is not, my OS has python 2.7 as default | 22:14 |
| terraformer | of the file manager | 22:14 |
| imyerrow | so that is why i am using virtual environment to prevent clashing of diff python versions | 22:14 |
| ilhami | Linux is the best | 22:14 |
| ilhami | but my PC sucks so much :D | 22:14 |
| nwg | terraformer: what are you trying to do? | 22:14 |
| ilhami | I cannot even watch a video without lag | 22:14 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: pyvenv is a python 3.4 specific program | 22:14 |
| terraformer | nwg, I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I saw the new Iris theme and wanted to try it. But it's not looking very well applied to nautilus without the headerbars | 22:15 |
| OerHeks | mirak, not sure how you installed those drivers, but ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' could do the trick | 22:15 |
| imyerrow | so i can use symbolic link to pyvenv then? | 22:15 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, does pyvenv-3.3 work? | 22:15 |
| nwg | you can use a symbolic link... | 22:15 |
| imyerrow | i don't have version 3.3 | 22:15 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, 34, whateve, put the version number on | 22:16 |
| mirak | OerHeks, I installed them normally | 22:16 |
| mirak | OerHeks, do you understand what choosing the driver version is about or not ? | 22:16 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: pyvenv-3.4 don't work | 22:17 |
| OerHeks | mirak, sure, i gave you a url earlier | 22:17 |
| imyerrow | if i do whereis pyvenv, it gives me: /opt/python3.4.0/bin/pyvenv | 22:17 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, add that directory to your path | 22:17 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, how did you install python3 btw? | 22:18 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: from source | 22:18 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, Ah that would explain it. | 22:18 |
| Hazzard | I can't get my server to boot; it hangs on "init: plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning too fast, stopped" or when it allocates swap | 22:18 |
| Hazzard | After updating to 14 | 22:19 |
| jcorgan | how do i clear the "read only" flag on a USB flash drive? its doesn't have a switch--it looks like it is some sort of protective mechanism that goes into effect if there are problems with the drive. | 22:19 |
| mirak | OerHeks, yes but the url doesn't provide the mean to do that | 22:19 |
| smiremp | jcorgan, fsck | 22:19 |
| nwg | jcorgan: pour beer on it. | 22:19 |
| smiremp | jcorgan, If as you say the drive is broken, run fsck | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | mirak i know, ubuntu-drivers --help is some use but it doesn't seem to explain everything | 22:20 |
| jcorgan | smiremp: it is more low level than that; in dmesg it shows the drive switches to read-only mode right after insertion, fsck/fdisk/gparted are unable to write to it | 22:20 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, On a default 14.04 install, i have pyvenv-3.4 in the path and it just works | 22:21 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: im on elementary OS | 22:21 |
| OerHeks | mirak, autoinstall seems the short route to a working system, from there you can try other drivers if you like to test | 22:22 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, That distro isn't really supported here. But if you add that folder to your path, it will run | 22:23 |
| qin_ | imyerrow: Why wouldn't use elementary support? | 22:23 |
| mirak | OerHeks, the system works, | 22:23 |
| jcorgan | google shows references to a low-level formatter program that would fix this, but they are all windows apps | 22:23 |
| mirak | OerHeks, but X crashes | 22:23 |
| imyerrow | eOS uses older version of ubuntu | 22:23 |
| mirak | OerHeks, and the default driver crashes | 22:23 |
| xeno | It looks like my cloned 12.04 install is not booting well with virtualbox. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | imyerrow: eOS is not supported here | 22:24 |
| Pencil_ | Time to replace this pc. Is there a pc that works a little better with Ubuntu than others? | 22:24 |
| imyerrow | ok sorry, im a linux noob in general | 22:24 |
| ikonia | imyerrow: if you need help with it, take it to the elementary support channels/resources please. | 22:24 |
| ikonia | imyerrow: no problem | 22:24 |
| mirak | or if there is a way to force failsafe graphics ? | 22:24 |
| xeno | It didn't pick up the nic. | 22:24 |
| phuff | Hey there. I'm trying to mount a firewire drive on my ubuntu machine | 22:27 |
| phuff | But I don't see anything in /dev/sd* after plugging it in. | 22:27 |
| phuff | The firewire drive is a mac in target disk mode | 22:27 |
| ikonia | phuff: I don't think that works | 22:27 |
| phuff | Is there something special I need to do to tell the kernel to look for a firewire drive on that firewire port? | 22:27 |
| ikonia | I thought the target disk thing was dead years ago ? | 22:27 |
| phuff | dead in what way? :) | 22:28 |
| Pencil_ | Where is "elementary support" | 22:28 |
| ikonia | I thought it had stopped being a feature | 22:28 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, You may want to try #python. They can tell you exactly what you need to do to build and configure the interpreter and its toolchain | 22:28 |
| ikonia | Pencil_: check on their website | 22:28 |
| phuff | ikonia: Oh, well, this is a 2009 mac, so maybe it's just because the mac is old? The boot bits of the file system are dead, but the rest is mountable and I'd like to get some data off of it before reformatting it. | 22:28 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: thanks, but i figure my question is more of an OS-related question | 22:28 |
| Yelu | xeno, would you mind to pastebin your "VBoxManage showvminfo <vm-name> --details" (to have a look on the interfaces)? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | phuff: looks like it's still fully supported | 22:29 |
| ikonia | phuff: I thought it had been removed, but it's still a feature, I'm wrong | 22:29 |
| imyerrow | im new to linux, so im new to how to set up environment variables and such | 22:29 |
| phuff | ikonia: I get a /dev/fw0 device, but I tried mounting that and it says that it's not a block device. | 22:29 |
| ikonia | phuff: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 | 22:29 |
| phuff | Which amkes sense. | 22:29 |
| ikonia | phuff: woth checking this | 22:29 |
| phuff | I'm just not sure where else I would find the device in the file system. | 22:29 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, It's easy to google how to add to your path on linux. But there is some crossover with python since a sysadmin might not know what is in the toolchain and the folder structure required for it etc. Plus most of #python uses linux, | 22:30 |
| qin_ | imyerrow: info coreutils 'env invocation' | 22:30 |
| phuff | ikonia: Do you know where a firewire drive would show up in the fs/where I would see errors if I couldn't talk to it? | 22:30 |
| ikonia | phuff: should just be a scsi disk, eg: /dev/sdX | 22:31 |
| xeno | Sure Yelu. just a minute. | 22:31 |
| phuff | Yeah there's nothing in there. | 22:32 |
| Yelu | xeno, fine, take you time. | 22:32 |
| * Yelu installs 14.04 plus vbox on top | 22:32 | |
| ikonia | phuff: check the link I've given you to make sure it's setup well | 22:33 |
| phuff | ikona: I get this in dmesg after plugging in the firewire | 22:33 |
| phuff | May 17 16:22:47 pooh kernel: [ 2038.424229] firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 | 22:33 |
| phuff | May 17 16:22:47 pooh kernel: [ 2038.424237] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc0, gap_count=5 | 22:33 |
| imyerrow | smiremp: sort of get what your saying, im using python at home, not professionally so not sure what you're saying about sys admins | 22:33 |
| phuff | It's setup properly excepting the fact hat I'm using ubuntu as the host and not a mac machine :) | 22:33 |
| phuff | (no other macs with firewire ports...) | 22:33 |
| ikonia | phuff: I'd need to look into that error more, but it looks like "giving up" suggests it's not configured/can't configure | 22:33 |
| imyerrow | i think you're assuming too much about me, im a mere mortal :-) | 22:33 |
| ikonia | imyerrow: the elemetnary guys can help you | 22:33 |
| phuff | ikonia do you know where I'd be able to find out more info about this stuff? | 22:34 |
| smiremp | imyerrow, I am saying go to #python or elementaryOS -> or install ubuntu and you 3.4 out of the box | 22:34 |
| phuff | It looks like firewire is going the way of the dodo | 22:34 |
| xeno2 | http://pastebin.com/9h7vqLi7 | 22:34 |
| ikonia | phuff: firewire is well supported, but I don't know enough about target disk mode and how it works | 22:34 |
| xeno | Yelu, It's that one from xeno2. | 22:34 |
| ikonia | phuff: or it's support within linux if it's a "hack" | 22:34 |
| phuff | I think it just presents itself as a firewire drive. | 22:35 |
| Yelu | xreno, xeno2, on my wayy ... | 22:35 |
| xeno | Thank you. | 22:35 |
| imyerrow | ok, sorry i thought my question was somewhat ubuntu related, didn't mean to be a bother | 22:35 |
| ikonia | phuff: how though, | 22:35 |
| ikonia | phuff: it's not magic, there is technicl stuff behind it in how it works, | 22:35 |
| qin_ | imyerrow: to change path: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11709374/change-path-permanently-on-ubuntu | 22:35 |
| smiremp | phuff, In consumer gear, usb is faster and more universal. I think you may be right. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | usb is not faster than firefire | 22:36 |
| fwaokda | everytime i use terminal and rvm i have to do /bin/bash --login before it will work properly... how can i have terminal automatically do this? | 22:36 |
| phuff | ikonia: They're just sbp2 devices | 22:38 |
| phuff | But I can't find any more error messaging than that stuff I pasted from kern.log | 22:38 |
| phuff | To tell me what is going wrong. | 22:38 |
| Yelu | xeno, this is a vm which is linked via a bridged interface to your local lan (the chef thingie is intended to control your real machines,)? | 22:38 |
| ikonia | sbp2 ? | 22:38 |
| phuff | serial bus 2 | 22:39 |
| ikonia | phuff: that error message is pretty useful | 22:39 |
| phuff | there's a firewire_sbp2 driver, but I don't think I'm amking it that far. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | phuff: however how the host mode works, would need to be researched to see how linux would handle it | 22:39 |
| === fwaokda is now known as theostack | ||
| Yelu | xeno, how you defined the interface(s) in the guest machines (via /etc/network/interfaces or via network-manager)? - is this guest machine a desktop or a server? | 22:40 |
| Yelu | xeno, what gives "ifconfig" and ping <local-lan-ip> and ping <google.com>? | 22:42 |
| cobaia_Black | /help | 22:44 |
| Yelu | xeno,, are you runnning clones with the same MAC? | 22:45 |
| phuff | Ok, well, thanks for the help, Ikonia | 22:45 |
| phuff | Talk to you guys later | 22:45 |

| xeno2 | Having trouble with this IRC client. | 22:54 |
| Yelu | xeno, I'd try 1. to give the vm a default "interfaces" file (lo,eth0 auto with iface dhcp), then 2. set up the eth0 with a statc i from my dhcp ip range, 3. from a terminal ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 - check with ifconfig, ping etc. | 22:55 |

| HomelessSanta | Bad page map in process. | 23:40 |
| ridethespiral | It is still going lol | 23:40 |
| ridethespiral | What's that mean | 23:40 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: do you have gparted , run that and do a hardrive test , seems like something is wrong with you drive or your install, | 23:40 |
| HomelessSanta | Seems like a kernel error or kernel bug. | 23:41 |
| ridethespiral | Is it possible the USB stick is defective? | 23:41 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: i think something is wroing with your drive and it just decided to tell you | 23:41 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: yes that is why i kept telling you to burn one - | 23:41 |
| ridethespiral | Sorry. I have another USB stick | 23:42 |
| daftykins | ridethespiral: there's a relevant bug here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1289887 | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1289887 in linux (Ubuntu) "BUG: Bad page map in process systemd-udevd pte:ffffffff pmd:68f91067" [Medium,Expired] | 23:42 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: do you have any disks | 23:42 |
| ridethespiral | I may have one | 23:43 |
| HomelessSanta | ridethespiral, Running on a LiveUSB? | 23:43 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: only one | 23:43 |
| ridethespiral | Homeless Santa yes | 23:43 |
| ridethespiral | whoever. Maybe two.. Not many ;) | 23:44 |
| catz | join | 23:44 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: well burn one | 23:44 |
| whoever | and do a frish install | 23:44 |
| ridethespiral | Does 14.04 fit on CD? | 23:44 |
| HomelessSanta | Figures, the ISO could of been bad. | 23:44 |
| ridethespiral | ISO md5sum was perfect | 23:44 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: you might want to keep a copy of gparted around for trouble shoooting like this | 23:44 |
| HomelessSanta | Ubuntu 14.04 is about 953MBs I believe. | 23:44 |
| HomelessSanta | Which a DVD is needed. | 23:45 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: yes | 23:45 |
| ridethespiral | I have a USB stick with 13m04 andbgparted that works like the bees knees | 23:45 |
| ridethespiral | 12.04 lol damn phone | 23:45 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: well then try that usb, and if it doesn't work look at the usb strick and the software you used to create it | 23:46 |
| HomelessSanta | I normally, tend to use Startup Disk Creator for transfering Ubuntu ISO's for my USB stick. | 23:46 |
| ridethespiral | It does work indie a fresh install of it 3 hours ago then tried 14.04 again | 23:46 |
| ridethespiral | I did* | 23:46 |
| ridethespiral | I also used startup disk creator | 23:47 |
| HomelessSanta | ridethespiral, Before hand were you on 12.04? | 23:48 |
| ridethespiral | Yup | 23:48 |
| HomelessSanta | ridethespiral, It worked without any issues right. | 23:48 |
| ridethespiral | For a long long time | 23:48 |
| HomelessSanta | My guess is it has something to do with the kernel. | 23:48 |
| HomelessSanta | I would say if you could boot into a different kernel don't know if LiveUSB's allow you to switch to GRUB and alter the kernel. | 23:49 |
| HomelessSanta | Or to even get into Recovery Mode. | 23:49 |
| ridethespiral | I was using Ubuntu studio 12.04 before installing vanilla unity 14.04. Studio had kernel 3.11.xx | 23:49 |
| daftykins | ridethespiral: do you know if it's booting in EFI or legacy mode? | 23:50 |
| ridethespiral | How to know? :p | 23:50 |
| HomelessSanta | I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and the kernel is 3.13.0-24. | 23:50 |
| daftykins | !efi | ridethespiral | 23:50 |
| ubottu | ridethespiral: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:50 |
| whoever | daftykins: ah, I assumed legacy | 23:50 |
| daftykins | a tough lesson i learnt years ago, is to never assume anything :D | 23:51 |
| whoever | daftykins: true | 23:52 |
| juki_ | ridethespiral: do you know how to get into the bios settings when you first power on your computer? | 23:52 |
| whoever | well i also forgot about efi | 23:52 |
| whoever | efi just seems to not be all there | 23:52 |
| whoever | ridethespiral: it is probably going to be delete | 23:54 |
| hunt | is there a way to do pip | 23:55 |
| hunt | with a window? | 23:55 |
| ridethespiral | So I do have windows 7 installed on another HDD so if it installed in that mode ( I installed windows 5 months ago along side Ubuntu, using a livev usb to fix grub) and haven't done a fresh install since then. Maybe that's the issue that it installed in this mode | 23:55 |
| hunt | or a space | 23:55 |
| hunt | ridethespiral: i just installed ubuntu on an ssd with some difficulty two days ago, whats your problem? | 23:56 |
| whoever | hunt: well what are you trying to achieve | 23:56 |
| juki_ | there is a setting in your bios ridethespiral to enable efi or not | 23:56 |
| hunt | whoever: i wanna monitor the status of a fullscreen game while im browsing | 23:56 |
| hunt | so i can tell when to tab back in: whoever | 23:57 |
| === george2|chakra is now known as george2 | ||
| daftykins | ridethespiral: so when you're installing 14.04, what's on the hard disk in the system? is there only one hard disk? :) | 23:57 |
| whoever | hunt: you need a scrip to pull the data from that window | 23:57 |
| hunt | ridethespiral: i did uefi! that was my problem. in bios boot your install disk with efi | 23:57 |
| hunt | whoever: nothing already exists? | 23:57 |
| juki_ | hunt: only the top window can be full screen, dual monitors still only have one "window on top" | 23:57 |
| whoever | hunt: so no you cannot pipe a windows | 23:57 |
| whoever | hunt: no | 23:57 |
| hunt | hm? | 23:58 |
| hunt | i have 1 monitor | 23:58 |
| hunt | i have a few different proccesses | 23:58 |

| whoever | hunt: your choices are limited with one monitor and not having a stript to monitor it for you | 23:59 |
| ridethespiral | 100mb partition for windows loader lol | 23:59 |
