| daftykins | grrrrraham: less from the standpoint of ubuntu or Linux in general, more my bias against them from back in the day they were new :) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| grrrrraham | haha k... yeah well that's what i was thinking.. old/crappy hardware | 00:00 |
| daftykins | grrrrraham: do any of these hard disks operate at SATA levels higher than the board can? e.g. SATA 6 or 3Gb/sec drives on a potentially SATA 1.5Gb board? | 00:00 |
| grrrrraham | yes.. i tried using the force 1.5 command | 00:01 |
| grrrrraham | doesn't seem to help | 00:01 |
| grrrrraham | i tried disabling ncq but the mobo doesn't support it anyway | 00:01 |
| Beldar | daftykins, mmmmm biased opinions, mah favorite. ;) | 00:01 |
| daftykins | looks like the board's SATA 3Gb actually | 00:01 |
| grrrrraham | oh ok | 00:01 |
| daftykins | Beldar: 8D | 00:01 |
| grrrrraham | well i tried forcing it to 1.5 anwway :) | 00:01 |
| daftykins | grrrrraham: i'd have probably tried to do so from the jumpers you may be able to apply to the disks, if applicable | 00:01 |
| grrrrraham | yeah there are jumper options.. i just don't have any jumpers handy | 00:02 |
| grrrrraham | would jumpers maybe make a difference even if the 1.5 speed is being confirmed by kernel? | 00:03 |
| grrrrraham | using the boot flags | 00:03 |
| daftykins | not sure, i just thought it might be an extra variable | 00:03 |
| grrrrraham | i found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/217920 | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 217920 in linux (Ubuntu) "Computer hangs up (freeze) and reports SATA errors during disk checking after reboot " [High,Incomplete] | 00:04 |
| grrrrraham | hahha ubottu nice timing | 00:04 |
| grrrrraham | #40 has some flags i haven't tried | 00:04 |
| grrrrraham | hpet=disable and | 00:05 |
| grrrrraham | and all_generic_ide | 00:05 |
| daftykins | hpet=disable is what i just found on a somewhat vaguely related thread :) | 00:05 |
| daftykins | grrrrraham: sounds like hpet=disable is candidate #1 for a test-run! | 00:07 |
| grrrrraham | i'm remote right now... is hpet=disable a fairly safe thing to do? | 00:07 |
| grrrrraham | don't want the computer to not boot at all when i'm not there | 00:07 |
| daftykins | i've zero experience with it personally, maybe you could add a custom boot menu entry and guide your gran to one-time booting it | 00:08 |
| grrrrraham | good call! | 00:08 |
| * Beldar looks for the tin fedora | 00:08 | |
| daftykins | sorry, aunt | 00:08 |
| Beldar | tinfoil that is | 00:08 |
| grrrrraham | all good | 00:10 |
| grrrrraham | thanks a lot guys | 00:10 |
| AphisOne | If I'm using gsettings, do I still use `dconf update` to set them as defaults? | 00:11 |
| Reptilia | It seems that fglrx is not supported for my graphics card, after the reboot the overall performance got even worse, with more lag, it was sluggish, and the resolution was lowered. What should i do? | 00:11 |
| Reptilia | It seems that the drivers are making everything sluggish, which drivers should i install? I have AMD Mobility Radeon X600 | 00:12 |
| Reptilia | ATI* | 00:13 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: when you say 'after the reboot' , what change did that reboot signify? | 00:14 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:Excuse me, don't understand the question | 00:14 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: had you installed fglrx via some method at that point? | 00:15 |
| daftykins | it sounds like you might've booted in as VESA support only | 00:15 |
| Reptilia | I've installed fglrx, rebooted, and i explained what everything was like | 00:15 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:What "VESA" is? | 00:16 |
| Reptilia | :$ | 00:16 |
| Beldar | Reptilia, If you come here for help, be careful in reacting to questions with I have done my work. | 00:16 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: a very basic driver, with no acceleration ultimately. | 00:17 |
| Reptilia | Beldar:What was wrong in my reaction to the question? | 00:17 |
| jeff__ | molololololo j'me sent pas du tout paumé | 00:18 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: X600 definitely sounds like one of the unsupported devices, i suspect you are stuck using the radeon driver only, for that one | 00:18 |
| Reptilia | I don't know how to be more descriptive, my knowledge is limited... | 00:18 |
| Beldar | Reptilia, Just my comment, and your reflection. ;) | 00:18 |
| Reptilia | Beldar:Oh, i got what your comment was about, you're right :) | 00:19 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: are you on that computer right now? is it in this lower resolution state? | 00:20 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:Damn. But what bugs me is that i've had excellent performance with this laptop, using 13.10. After installing 14.04, everything changed. | 00:21 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:Yes, i am on the laptop now. I've removed fglrx, rebooted, and now the resolution is how it used to be. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: it might be time to consider a different distribution | 00:21 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: ok please run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then if that succeeds "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ctrl+alt+T to open a terminal | 00:22 |
| Reptilia | Sure, just a moment | 00:22 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: what's the CPU in this thing by the way? must be pretty old :) | 00:23 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:It's a Compaq nx 8220, let me check the processor :) | 00:23 |
| Reptilia | CPU: Intel Pentium M 740 (1.73Ghz) | 00:24 |

| AcRoBaT | hi all, I have a question, can ubuntu use the secure port 6697 ? | 00:28 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: what RAM does it have? | 00:28 |
| Reptilia | daftykins:512 | 00:29 |
| daftykins | AcRoBaT: 6697 isn't a secure port of anything. | 00:29 |
| AcRoBaT | yes it is, it's for irc, I run mirc via wine | 00:29 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: ooooouch you'd be way better off with something like lubuntu or xubuntu, they're a lot lighter weight - but i really don't think that system has much use left with modern distros | 00:29 |
| quidnunc | bazhang: dpaste.com/3B0DYDX/ | 00:29 |
| Reptilia | daftykins: I am using Xubuntu 14.04 | 00:29 |
| Ben64 | AcRoBaT: why would you run mirc in linux? use xchat or something else that is much better | 00:29 |
| daftykins | AcRoBaT: likely your attempt to use a windows client under WINE is the root of all your problems | 00:30 |
| Reptilia | daftykins: I am not using Ubuntu :/ | 00:30 |
| AcRoBaT | 6697 doesn't seem to work for mirc and ubuntu so I am using xchat at the moment | 00:30 |
| daftykins | Reptilia: ah and it's still pretty bad? | 00:30 |
| quidnunc | bazhang: I also did sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 00:30 |
| Reptilia | daftykins: Well it is not that bad, but it's noticeable, since i am waiting a lot more after i click the browser icon, open a new tab, etc, compared to how long i've waited on 13.10 ... | 00:31 |
| bazhang | what does apt-cache search skype show | 00:31 |
| quidnunc | bazhang: plugins mostly | 00:31 |
| AcRoBaT | 6697 is ssl | 00:31 |

| MasterBlaster | What's the fastest way to organize my directory and create a good coding environment? | 01:05 |
| wheresmypaaants | quick question | 01:09 |
| wheresmypaaants | what would happen if you uninstalled all display managers (gdm, lightdm, etc.) | 01:09 |
| wheresmypaaants | would it just ask for password via terminal, then login? | 01:09 |
| zykotick9 | wheresmypaaants: yes, it's the same as console (ctrl+alt+f1) | 01:10 |
| wheresmypaaants | after the password does it load unity? | 01:10 |
| wheresmypaaants | just wondering :P | 01:10 |
| zykotick9 | wheresmypaaants: no, you'd need to type "startx" to start xorg | 01:10 |
| wheresmypaaants | alrighty | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | zykotick9: Can you help me out with something? | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | My lightdm is being a bitch | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | OMG sorry | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | I forgot the rules | 01:11 |
| nevyn | MasterBlaster: learn scm? | 01:11 |
| zykotick9 | wheresmypaaants: i _highly_ doubt it... i've never used lightdm... sorry | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | zykotick9: Then one other issue | 01:11 |
| wheresmypaaants | recovery mode gives read only filesystem | 01:12 |
| wheresmypaaants | which defeats the purpose of recovery mode | 01:12 |
| wheresmypaaants | i cant fix anything | 01:12 |
| wheresmypaaants | any ideas? | 01:12 |
| zykotick9 | no, it doesn't. that's "normal". remount it r/w if you need too. | 01:12 |
| wheresmypaaants | why does it do that? | 01:13 |
| wheresmypaaants | could i have the command for that? | 01:13 |
| nevyn | because recovery drops you into the boot process before the disks are remounted r/w | 01:13 |
| wheresmypaaants | oh | 01:13 |
| wheresmypaaants | i see | 01:13 |
| wheresmypaaants | :P | 01:13 |
| nevyn | it's an ormal part of booting. | 01:13 |
| wheresmypaaants | whats the command to remount it as read/write | 01:14 |
| nevyn | remount -o remount,rw / | 01:14 |
| wheresmypaaants | oh wait, i got it | 01:14 |
| nevyn | or whatever the filesystem is | 01:14 |
| wheresmypaaants | sudo mount -n -o remount / | 01:14 |
| nevyn | it should be in the recovery banner. | 01:14 |
| wheresmypaaants | its not :F | 01:14 |
| wheresmypaaants | but i got it | 01:14 |
| nevyn | bleh remount doesn't even exist as a command | 01:14 |
| AncientPC | Is there a way to push something via command line over http:// for a bandwidth test? I have reason to suspect my ISP is throttling rsync / scp connections. | 01:14 |
| MasterBlaster | scm? nevym | 01:14 |
| wheresmypaaants | my lightdm is having a civil war with ubuntu | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | i really dont want gdm :F | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | but i have to... | 01:15 |
| somsip | wheresmypaaants: why do you have to? | 01:15 |
| nevyn | MasterBlaster: source management.!scm | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | because otherwise i get "The system is running in low graphics mode" | 01:15 |
| nevyn | !scm | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | So, to fix, GDM | 01:15 |
| nevyn | really ubutt/win 35 | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | That's my solution :F | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | i tried a clean reinstall of lightdm | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | ive tried EVERYTHING | 01:15 |
| MasterBlaster | nevym: ah | 01:15 |
| wheresmypaaants | it hates nvidia | 01:16 |
| somsip | wheresmypaaants: try a different login manager. I use Slim. It's abit old but it's very simple and does the job for me | 01:16 |
| wheresmypaaants | do you remove remnants of uninstalled packages with apt-get purge? | 01:16 |
| nevyn | MasterBlaster: git/cvs/sourcesafe/proforce etc. | 01:16 |
| somsip | wheresmypaaants: I don't tend to installa lot of new stuff, but usually I would purge if I uninstalled something for testing and removed it soon after | 01:16 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: just curious, are you using gnome3/unity or something else as a DE/WM environment? i hear Slim has issues with creating the environment for many... i too used Slim for a period, but it wasn't with a DE. | 01:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | cant install slim | 01:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | it suggests updating my thing with apt-get update | 01:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | that wont work | 01:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | F: | 01:17 |
| somsip | zykotick9: I use awesomewm. I didn't know there might be other issues with slim, so maybe it's not a good recommendation | 01:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | i just dont like gdms look | 01:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | any other display managers? | 01:18 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: i'm an awesomewm user as well ;) | 01:18 |
| MasterBlaster | nevym: I use git but I would like to clean and organize my directory too. | 01:18 |
| somsip | zykotick9: Slim and awesome is nice and quick I find. And Slim solved PCmanfm not auto-mounting USB drives for me too. | 01:19 |
| wheresmypaaants | somsip: What about MDM | 01:19 |
| somsip | wheresmypaaants: never heard of it | 01:19 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: interesting. thanks. | 01:19 |
| wheresmypaaants | somsip: Mint Display Manager | 01:19 |
| wheresmypaaants | ^^ Linux Mint login | 01:19 |

| wheresmypaaants | i tried mint once | 01:20 |
| wheresmypaaants | it wouldnt do a single thing | 01:20 |

| Beldar | hexacode, automates what? | 01:26 |
| Arbition | Hi, how is the updater path from 12.04 to 14.04 looking? I notice that this path isn't in the upgrade notes. | 01:27 |
| Beldar | !uefi | hexacode look here | 01:27 |
| ubottu | hexacode look here: 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 | 01:27 |
| Beldar | Arbition, Official LTS upgrade is in July | 01:27 |
| Arbition | Ah right | 01:28 |
| Beldar | Arbition, You can upgrade from the cli though if you can't wait. ;) | 01:28 |
| Arbition | I might just do that. apt-get dist-upgrade? | 01:29 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | Arbition | 01:29 |
| ubottu | Arbition: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:29 |
| Arbition | ah | 01:29 |
| Arbition | !upgrade | 01:30 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:30 |
| Arbition | dern it | 01:30 |
| Arbition | hate going in circles | 01:30 |
| Flannel | Arbition: LTS to LTS upgrades aren't enabled by default until 14.04.1 (3 months after release, approximately). You can upgrade early if you like though. | 01:31 |
| Flannel | Arbition: To do that, just run your upgrade manager with an additional "-d" flag. (`update-manager -d`, `do-release-upgrade -d`, etc) | 01:35 |
| Arbition | heh, I already did that, though I used the long option version | 01:35 |
| daftykins | pretty sure -d is a bad idea since at some point it'll upgrade people to 14.10 | 01:36 |
| Flannel | daftykins: Not from 12.04 | 01:37 |
| Flannel | (or 13.10, but they don't need the -d) | 01:37 |
| Arbition | Well I've begun the process. I don't really expect any more support :P If it breaks I'll just have to rebuild it | 01:38 |
| daftykins | an excellent approach! | 01:38 |
| knob | Hey guys, got a Ubuntu-Server mixed with WordPress question. | 01:43 |
| knob | I did a fresh 14.04 Server install. All running good. | 01:43 |
| knob | I installed WordPress, all good. | 01:43 |
| knob | I then installed a WordPress plugin that changes from using ftp for uploads, to sftp (SSH SFTP Updater Support) | 01:43 |
| knob | When I try to use it for the first time, it throws me "Could not copy file." | 01:44 |
| knob | So I thought it was because of the permissions to where it's uploading. I checked, and the permissions of that directory (plugins/) were set to nobody and nogroup | 01:44 |
| knob | I then created a new group, www | 01:44 |
| knob | I added my user (not root) to the www group | 01:45 |
| knob | I then did chown myUSER:www plugins/ | 01:45 |
| knob | Yet when I use the sftp plugin, it still throws the "Could not copy file" error. | 01:45 |
| === kons is now known as kilovolt | ||
| knob | Any idea what I could check? | 01:45 |
| daftykins | that's a wordpress and plugin support question more than an OS question | 01:46 |
| Beldar | knob, your right index finger for overheating? ;) | 01:46 |
| knob | Beldar, sorry for that. I hit it trying to make it more clean. | 01:47 |
| Beldar | knob, Your fine. | 01:47 |
| Beldar | just having fun, well at least for me. | 01:48 |
| === Sway|away is now known as Sway | ||
| knob | daftykins, yeah. Those are my thoughts... yet I wanted to run it by you guys. I'm a n00b at this. If the directory has owner myUSER, and the group www... it *should* permit that user to do what it wants, right? | 01:48 |
| knob | Beldar, cool cool =) | 01:48 |
| daftykins | knob: assuming what's running is even running as said user | 01:48 |
| daftykins | knob: in fairness i run wordpress stuffs and in a lot of cases i just transfer data manually :P | 01:49 |
| knob | daftykins, yeah... I did it that way. Yet starting this server/website from scratch, I thought to try and go more secure from the get-go. | 01:49 |
| knob | I'm posting over in the forums... lets see what they say.=) | 01:50 |
| Flannel | knob: Is this writing being done by the user (via straight FTP/SFTP) or via a webpage? | 01:50 |
| knob | Flannel, via webpage | 01:50 |
| Flannel | knob: That's being written by the webserver's user (www-data) not your own user. So you'll want to make it writable by that user. | 01:50 |
| knob | Flannel, ohh... so chown www-data ? | 01:51 |
| Flannel | right, you need the www-data user to be able to access it. | 01:51 |
| daftykins | what i do is add my user + www-data to a group called 'webby' then set the ownership to www-data:webby | 01:52 |
| daftykins | that way, you can modify the user's permissions separate to that of the group | 01:52 |
| boy_wanders | Hey My keyboard isn't functioning correctly now, I'm on a UK layout keyboard and pressing the hashtag button turns into a < | 01:52 |

| Flannel | daftykins: you can do a similar thing by simply adding your user to the www-data group | 01:53 |
| knob | daftykins, that was what I was looking for... going to try that now! | 01:53 |
| daftykins | Flannel: yep, i'm not sure what the logic i saw in making my own, oh well :D | 01:53 |
| knob | Flannel, oh yeah? So say, usermod -a -G www-data myUSER ?? | 01:53 |
| Flannel | knob: NOOOOOOO | 01:53 |
| knob | haha | 01:53 |
| knob | ok | 01:53 |
| Flannel | knob: Never use usermod to add users to groups, you'll eventually forget the -a and mess things up. Use adduser (adduser USER GROUP) to do it instead. | 01:54 |
| knob | Ok ok... good info. These are my first hours in Ubuntu server/desktop | 01:55 |
| knob | =) | 01:55 |
| knob | Flannel, and the directory to be modified... should it be owned by myUSER , and group www-data ?? | 01:57 |
| Flannel | knob: That's up to you. If the group is set to www-data and it has group write permissions, then it'll work fine. The other way around is true too. | 01:58 |
| knob | Ok ok... checking that now... | 01:59 |
| Jeffrey_f | Flannel: best doing access by groups. Keeps permissions neat and compact | 02:01 |

| tuga3d | hi all, is there a ppa for Trusty with vim compiled with support for python3? | 02:07 |
| rio_zenta | wow, I just installed ubuntu server through wubi, lol | 02:07 |
| daftykins | pretty sure WUBI is unsupported now | 02:07 |
| tuga3d | the vim-daily repo is too old :( | 02:07 |
| daftykins | you're on your own | 02:07 |
| boy_wanders | Beldar did you just install it from the software center? | 02:07 |
| rio_zenta | tuga3d what do you mean vim compiled with support for python3? | 02:07 |
| tuga3d | the default vim comes with python2 support but not 3 | 02:08 |
| rio_zenta | daftykins: ubuntu12.04 LTS. I converted desktop to server using tasksel | 02:08 |
| Beldar | boy_wanders, I forget, I'm in W8.1 at the moment, I believe there is an addition to the sources.list though. | 02:08 |
| rio_zenta | tuga3d: oh you want vim (the commandline editor) to work with python3? | 02:08 |
| tuga3d | do a vim --version and check if you have +python3 or -python3 | 02:09 |
| tuga3d | yep | 02:09 |
| Beldar | boy_wanders, I think I have the repos info using the dropbox site, so no not the ubuntu repos. | 02:09 |
| somsip | tuga3d: vim-gtk is -python3 FWIW | 02:09 |
| rio_zenta | no vim installed by me lol | 02:09 |
| Beldar | rio_zenta, YOU know wubi is not supported, and that support there was, was one person? | 02:10 |
| tuga3d | do you guys know any ppa that as this? | 02:10 |
| rio_zenta | tuga3d: there should be a way to make python3 like vim, most likely from the python resources | 02:10 |
| Beldar | !ppa > tuga3d | 02:11 |
| ubottu | tuga3d, please see my private message | 02:11 |
| rio_zenta | Beldar: It's fine, as the server is a small part-time test server. I'd love to have a full system dedicated to centos/ubuntu server, but not right now (circumstances). | 02:11 |

| Beldar | tuga3d, YOU don't have to have the 14.04 version, I don't and it works on 14.10. | 02:15 |
| rio_zenta | somsip: you mean run ubuntu within ubuntu using something like virtual box? I tried doing that with damn small linux and the program crashed. | 02:16 |
| tuga3d | Beldar: ok, thanks :) | 02:16 |
| somsip | rio_zenta: DSL has very little to do with ubuntu so you are not comparing like for like. I run numerous VMs under ubuntu with no problems | 02:17 |
| rio_zenta | somsip what are your specs? | 02:17 |
| somsip | rio_zenta: what are you particularly interested in knowing? | 02:17 |
| rio_zenta | my hardware is limited somsip. I know that DSL crashed because of hardware limits. | 02:18 |
| somsip | rio_zenta: then maybe you have your own answers. Anyway, it's a moot discussion. I was making a suggestion for you | 02:19 |

| jarray52 | Does the Ubuntu LTS to LTS upgrade work pretty well for a desktop? | 02:21 |
| jarray52 | 12.04 to 14.04 | 02:22 |
| Beldar | jarray52, That context does not matter. | 02:22 |
| Beldar | no supporting data anyway | 02:22 |
| daftykins | jarray52: that upgrade isn't available until the 14.04.1 point release | 02:23 |
| jarray52 | daftykins: Thanks. | 02:23 |
| jarray52 | Beldar: What do you mean by supporting data? | 02:23 |
| Beldar | jarray52, There is no information (data) on your question. | 02:24 |
| qin | jarray52: There is no upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 yet, apparently... but you could upgrade with -d switch | 02:24 |
| Beldar | jarray52, I would not upgrade without cloning myself though. | 02:25 |
| Beldar | cloning, myself* | 02:25 |
| Jeffrey_f | jarray52: If you are not too far behind, you may have to step up on the upgrades. As an example, If I remember right....my only available bootable was 13.04. It upgraded to 13.10 then to 14.04. But it worked well for me | 02:31 |
| jarray52 | Im on 12.04. | 02:32 |
| Beldar | going through two eol's is terrible advice | 02:32 |
| jarray52 | Beldar, you recommend waiting for 14.04.1? | 02:33 |
| Beldar | jarray52, I can't really say I always fresh install, with an app list, reos and keys in about 1/4 the time and have a fresh OS. | 02:34 |
| Beldar | repos* | 02:34 |
| Jeffrey_f | jarray52: If you are too far back, you may not get the ability to upgrade.....I haven't tried. Dump your home folder (include select hidden folders) to a portable drive and just wipe/install the latest. | 02:34 |
| jarray52 | Beldar: In the past, I always fresh installed, but one might as well use upgrade functionality that someone built. | 02:35 |
| Beldar | jarray52, Your opinion, not mine, but that's what makes the world go around. ;) | 02:36 |

| DANtheBEASTman | libglib2.0-0 is already the newest version | 02:43 |
| Beldar | DANtheBEASTman, This a 3rd party app/package? | 02:44 |
| DANtheBEASTman | yeah.. | 02:44 |
| DANtheBEASTman | I think they built it on squeeze | 02:44 |
| DANtheBEASTman | but the squeeze lib relies on old libc | 02:45 |

| babinlonston | I Want to allow one person to check my server for some issue, and he needs to check the server in root privileges, how can i give him login detail's using ssh key file. | 04:05 |
| cr33p | babinlonston, if you trust him, just make him a root account or give him your login details | 04:07 |
| Datz | or include him in the sudoers file too | 04:08 |
| Jeffrey_f | babinlonston: That ssh key does not necessarilty give login , just connection. Login is credentials (user/pass), which is separate. Also, each machine should have a unique SSH key if possible | 04:09 |
| somsip | babinlonston: do not share your public key. Do not allow root access through ssh. Create a new user with a new private key. Give him that | 04:10 |
| somsip | *do not share your private key | 04:10 |
| somsip | babinlonston: give the new user sudo access if you feel that's appropriate. Better (IMHO) would be to not give him the password and to share the session with him so you can watch what he is doing and enter the sudo password yourself. | 04:11 |
| cr33p | somsip, that is the best idea | 04:12 |
| cr33p | just get teamviewer, let him come in... show him your terminal and watch what he does | 04:12 |
| Jeffrey_f | babinlonston: Also, remember, as a sudo'er, that person can traverse the private folders, either use encrypted home folders or create a group, add this person to that group and deny access to this person to certain areas/folders/actions | 04:14 |

| allen_ | guys i have a question, i am still running unity, i have everything installed and all working great, but i was more of a fan of Cinnamon DE or even XFCE, am I gonna risk messing up any of my apps if install the other DE? | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | allen_ no but you won't have unity integration. | 04:26 |
| Beldar | sheer, Not sure that although both are separate you would not have cross contamination, I would go to .config in home and remove the google-chrome folder and restart chrome, you could save that if needed. | 04:26 |
| allen_ | i've switched over from MINT and I am wondering if the issues i had were Mint, or if they were caused by the DE | 04:26 |
| allen_ | cfhowlett, what does the integration do for me? only been on ubuntu for a week, so any insight is greatly appreciated | 04:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info xubuntu-destop | allen_ | 04:27 |
| ubottu | allen_: Package xubuntu-destop does not exist in trusty | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | allen_ can't say. install xfce4, logout, login and test. free and easy | 04:27 |
| holstein | allen_: you should be able to easily install xfce4 | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | allen_ easier for you to experience for yourself: sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 04:27 |
| allen_ | thanks guys i'm just concerned i will be back to the issues i had before i switched. | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | allen_ if you don't like it, logout, choose ubuntu/unity session, log back in. fixed! | 04:30 |
| allen_ | i ASSUME it was issues in Mint but not 100% sure | 04:30 |
| holstein | allen_: what issues? | 04:30 |
| allen_ | I use deluge, and Deluge stopped working in Mint if i used a proxy server, which i do. | 04:30 |
| Beldar | sheer, I think that google file in .config is actually the whole file so not a good idea probably unless you save passwords and bookmarks. | 04:30 |
| SchrodingersScat | allen_: so does it work now? | 04:31 |
| allen_ | i was having some video issues as well, that i have not experienced in ubuntu | 04:31 |
| allen_ | yes it works like a charm now SchrodingersScat | 04:31 |
| SchrodingersScat | charms don't work.. | 04:31 |

| allen_ | so can i ask what you all run ? | 04:33 |
| Sohron | DrRodneyMckay: ifconfig? that'll show you which network interfaces are up and with what adresses | 04:34 |

| pushkar | i know it is possible with wired connection | 06:54 |
| pushkar | but how do i do this with wireless | 06:54 |
| owh | pushkar: This is what google told me: http://www.howtogeek.com/116409/how-to-turn-your-ubuntu-laptop-into-a-wireless-access-point/ | 06:55 |

| pushkar | owh: but that is telling me to convert a wired network into a hotspot | 06:56 |
| pushkar | how do i convert wireless network into a hotspot | 06:56 |
| owh | KM0201: It doesn't, but you can use bash wild-cards, like wget http://blah'{a,v,b}.mp3 | 06:56 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 06:57 |
| owh | pushkar: When I read it, it said to click on the make hotspot button. How is the computer connected to the 'net. | 06:57 |

| owh | bit_boy: It appears that all the errors that google throws up relating to the one you showed us are to do with missing dependencies. I do not know about your specific package, so I cannot be more precise than that. | 08:34 |

| TomyWork | I'm gonna try some other stuff though, before being stuck with a 4th place to configure my proxy | 08:35 |

| TomyWork | good point | 08:37 |
| TomyWork | looks like i cant wget the url it's trying to access, either | 08:38 |
| TomyWork | nope, it worked... just took a while | 08:38 |
| TomyWork | and now the installer worked too... | 08:39 |
| TomyWork | so no wgetrc needed. on the 5th attempt it decided to start working :) | 08:40 |
| TomyWork | thanks for the help, owh | 08:41 |
| owh | Cool | 08:41 |
| TomyWork | and Beldar, I am not in control of whether I have a proxy or not (I don't know why you would even make that assumption), nor am I in control of what flashplugin-installer decided to do or not, once I install it.

| k-joseph_ | h guys, i use ubuntu 12.04 LTS for developement and i run heavy staffs, recently it began freezing and some times when i run heavy commands the cursor may stop moving and i have to sleep or reboot the system to continue, i wanted to add more swap space but am thinking that /dev/sda6 partition size: 4140028 used: 129451 -1, is just enough, what is the cause of such behavior!!! | 08:46 |

| afidegnum | hi, please I am having broken heart. , mysql can't start after i did some performance tuning. here is the my.cnf configuration: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7519891/ and this is the error log I am getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/7519875/ | 09:06 |
| somsip | afidegnum: try #mysql | 09:07 |
| somsip | afidegnum: but unless you have lots of memory, you have your buffers set up wrong: 140526 10:46:01 [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 848.0G | 09:08 |
| Unknown0BC | I'm using jstest-gtk to check the sensitivity of the analog sticks on this game controller after being very annoyed at its sensitivity. | 09:08 |

| afidegnum | somsip: thanks, my I am having 32Gig of Ram | 09:08 |
| afidegnum | I thought the buffer will be saved into the harddisk | 09:09 |
| somsip | afidegnum: hence why it's failing to allocate 848GB of RAM. Why would you possible want to put 816GB of buffers into swap? | 09:09 |
| Unknown0BC | It seems this came controller has very dumb analog sticks, when you move them you see nothing happening then suddenly a jump. It has totally dead spots around the center and at the edges of the movement. | 09:09 |
| Unknown0BC | The actual movement detection of the sticks has a short range making this came controller very difficult to handle. | 09:11 |

| arnab | hello | 09:37 |
| arnab | I am using libre writer | 09:37 |
| arnab | I cut something on it but could never paste it | 09:38 |
| arnab | where can I ercover the text from? | 09:38 |
| arnab | recover* | 09:38 |
| arnab | can anyone tell me? | 09:38 |
| OerHeks | ctrl + z sometimes reverses the paste/cut command | 09:39 |
| OerHeks | = step back | 09:39 |
| arnab | after I cut i closed the document | 09:39 |
| arnab | would it still work? | 09:39 |
| gry | diffen: assuming you're using Ubuntu Server as people don't set up clusters with desktops: try #ubuntu-server please. I guess it's a "failover" kind of thing and DNS isn't really the driving force (see http://serverfault.com/questions/57755/free-dns-software-with-failover-support). | 09:40 |
| OerHeks | arnab, no, closing the program/document ends it. | 09:40 |
| arnab | how can i recover ot then? | 09:40 |
| arnab | this is really stupid | 09:41 |
| OerHeks | arnab, unless the paste is still under your mousbutton, but then you would have been able to paste it in a new document | 09:41 |
| Fuchs | gry: as I just see you here: could you have a look at d__, it is a bot that is in several channels, uninvited. It replies to certain ! commands and might log as well. Thanks. | 09:41 |
| arnab | Its not getting pasted | 09:41 |
| gry | diffen: I think it would have to be a "load balancer" than a DNS kind of thing eventually. | 09:41 |
| arnab | can i get it on clipboard? | 09:41 |
| arnab | if yes how? | 09:41 |

| OerHeks | arnab, if you installed clip-it or simular ( before cutting/pasting), you can check if it is still there | 09:42 |
| arnab | I did not install anything :( | 09:42 |

| the_drow | Is there a way to run python scripts from a virtualenv using upstart? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | if it's physical or virtual should make no difference | 10:09 |
| ikonia | it's still the same binary install with the same init proces | 10:09 |
| ikonia | process | 10:09 |
| the_drow | ikonia: So if I workon myvirtualenv everything should be fine right? (as in it won't propogate to any other shell) | 10:11 |
| ikonia | the_drow: I have no idea what "myvirtualenv" is, if that's some sort of self contained python enviornment, then I don't see why it would be a problem, python is just files/directories | 10:12 |
| rww | ikonia: (virtualenv is a python thing and doesn't mean "inside a virtual machine") | 10:12 |
| the_drow | It affects the current shell | 10:12 |
| ikonia | rww: I have zero idea what it is | 10:12 |
| rww | and I have zero idea of how to wrangle upstart, so I guess we're both incapable of answering this one :P | 10:13 |
| the_drow | https://gist.github.com/swinton/1978897 | 10:13 |
| ikonia | looks like virtualenv is just a sort of "chroot" setup, but just isolating python | 10:14 |
| the_drow | Is my global /etc/profile loaded on upstart scripts? | 10:14 |
| the_drow | ikonia: Kinda | 10:14 |
| ikonia | the_drow: you'd do better to set the env within the actual upstart job | 10:14 |
| somsip | the_drow: you would need to wrap the virtualenv bin/activate in a shell script called in the upstart script before calling the python script in the virtualenv | 10:14 |
| gry | the_drow: myvirtualenv does not propagate to other shells unless you add something to your bashrc. | 10:14 |
| ikonia | (from what I'm reading) | 10:14 |
| somsip | ikonia: it just prepends the virtualenv directory bin and libs to path, in a nutshell | 10:15 |
| the_drow | somsip: And what's suggested in the gist isn't ok? | 10:15 |
| ikonia | somsip: yes, that's how I'm reading it | 10:15 |
| ikonia | I personally don't see the point of this tool other than creating problems | 10:16 |
| ikonia | (reading the docs on it now) | 10:16 |
| somsip | the_drow: I have no idea about upstart but the script is not doing what I suggest from what I can tell | 10:16 |
| the_drow | ikonia: Because you're not a python dev | 10:16 |
| ikonia | the_drow: of course not, but from maintaining a system - this seems a very bad idea | 10:17 |
| the_drow | Why? | 10:17 |
| the_drow | each app has it's dependencies | 10:17 |
| rww | can we stick to support topics and not "i have no idea what this is but it's bad", please? | 10:17 |
| the_drow | pl | 10:17 |
| the_drow | ok | 10:17 |
| ikonia | rww: I don't think it's unreasonable to raise a concern | 10:17 |
| ikonia | more so when you're trying to call this as an init process | 10:18 |
| rww | ikonia: I do, considering you have no idea what you're talking about and our usual recommendation for helpers in that situation is to leave the question to somebody else. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | rww: I'm pretty sure I do have an idea what I'm talking about | 10:18 |
| rww | ikonia: You literally didn't know what virtualenv was until I pointed it out. So no, you don't. | 10:18 |
| rww | Now. Back to support. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | rww: actually - I did, however I've never used it personally, but reading the docs on it from the offical site, it appears to be an unwise move | 10:19 |
| the_drow | Ok, so I need a different script that will run workon right? (I'm using virtualenvwrapper) | 10:19 |
| the_drow | Or should I use bin/activate directly? | 10:19 |
| somsip | the_drow: plenty of possibly helpful information on a search, example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14823001/why-cant-upstart-run-source-bin-activate | 10:20 |
| gry | Directly I believe. | 10:20 |
| the_drow | Where is the most sensible place to place the script? /usr/local/sbin? | 10:20 |

| Fuchs | dacobi: konversation can do custom nick colours, yes | 12:03 |
| Fuchs | (well, fsvo, you can't assign it to specific nicks, but you can configure which colours you want) | 12:04 |
| Fuchs | irssi and weechat can do it as well, note that these are CLI clients, though | 12:04 |
| Guest81844 | hello? | 12:05 |
| yitz_ | Hi? | 12:05 |
| dacobi | on some webirc servers the nick can have colors. How does that work? | 12:06 |
| brianblaze420 | good morning | 12:06 |
| dacobi | I mean if its the client that sets the colors | 12:06 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, i cant manage to update my system (ubuntu 12.04 with gnome) everything fine up to last update. followed various wikis, tried many different ways, last one "sudo apt-get -f install" and i get this errors /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-63_3.2.0-63.95_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-63-generic-pae_3.2.0-63.95_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 12:06 |
| dacobi | is there a stander? | 12:06 |
| krypto | hi i am looking for some old xen kernels 10.10/11.* from where i can download that http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ is not having those distros | 12:06 |
| dacobi | *standart | 12:06 |
| yitz_ | Guest81844: Try deleting those files, doing an update and trying again | 12:07 |
| Fuchs | dacobi: it is up to your client how to display the nick | 12:07 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, i did mv list list.old in /var/ but nothing | 12:07 |
| Fuchs | dacobi: e.g. if you set me to red, that is only visible in your client, not for anybody else | 12:08 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, *lists | 12:08 |
| Fuchs | dacobi: text can have colours and there is a pseudo standard for it, invented by the horrible mIRC client, which most clients these day do understand. Fortunately most channels block these colours, though. | 12:08 |
| yitz_ | Guest81844: Erm. When did list come up? delete the files that it complained about | 12:08 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, ok, will do in a min and brb | 12:09 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, files deleted, redone "apt-get -f install" it says no space on device, but i do have over 1 GB... i dont get it | 12:10 |
| yitz_ | Guest81844: Did you do the apt-get update, too? | 12:11 |
| dacobi | Fuchs: So if a webIRC server has nick colors that would be a server specific feature? | 12:11 |
| Fuchs | no, a feature of the webclient | 12:12 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, the update returns no error... | 12:12 |
| Guest81844 | yitz, i'll log-out and in again, let's see... | 12:12 |

| jakewc2 | hi, I have just had an update on 12.04, and restarted the machine and there is no wireless connection seen for my router. It sees every other persons wireless but not mine. So I dont think the wireless board is broken. I have other machines that I'm using the wireless connection ok | 13:21 |
| jakewc2 | is there any way to reinstall the wireless board, to see if it will work, or is there anything I can do to get the wireless to work | 13:22 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: Check which radio channel the router is currently on, and which regulatory zone the PC's wifi is currently in. It's possible the router is operating on say channel 13, but the PC is limited to only channels 1-11 | 13:23 |
| jakewc2 | but it worked before the update, but I will check, how do I check what channels the laptop works on | 13:23 |
| jakewc2 | I can use the terminal, if shown the commands | 13:24 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: Take a look at "/var/log/dmesg"; or check the ongoing kernel log with "grep cfg80211 /var/log/kern.log" | 13:25 |
| jakewc2 | ok, will try that | 13:25 |
| knob | Hello everyone. Last night I was adviced against using usermod to add a user to a group. Yet I didn't write down the command to do it the other way (not using useradd) | 13:26 |
| knob | Anybody know what I Can use? | 13:26 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: Also, do "iw list" and look at the list of channels under "Frequencies" | 13:26 |
| nickname2 | how do you "follow" underscored links in manpages? | 13:27 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: This all presumes regulatory zoning is the issue; check with the router as to which channel it is operating on currently | 13:27 |

Maybe something else is broken in your system, dunno. old proprietary drivers for ati gpus are notorious for bad 2d performance so you should be getting a much better experience in firefox and other simple applications | 13:31 |
| jakewc2 | ok, the iw list showed 1 tp 14 works and in the wireless section on the router it only has 1 to 13, so will go try change a channel see what happens there | 13:31 |
| jakewc2 | brb | 13:31 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: If the PC can handle more than the router, then regulatory zoning isn't the issue. | 13:32 |
| === GG111 is now known as SameDay | ||
| jakewc2 | ah, that worked, i was channel 13 changed it to channel 9 and the wireless settings sees the router, now why would it work before the updates and not after the updates, thank you so much, that was a really big help | 13:33 |
| Reptilia | Pessimist:What bugs me is, what is the difference between 13.10 and 14.04, because i used to have an excellent performance in 13.10. Thanks btw. | 13:33 |
| Reptilia | Pessimist:Afk, 15 mins | 13:33 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: Regulatory Zones are to prevent radio interference on channels used by other non-Wifi services; The Wireless Access Point chooses a channel; the PC clients simply search for the Access Point on all the channels they are allowed to based on their Regulatory Zone. So if your PC can scan 1-14 then it should see channel 13, if that is where the Access Point is operating. | 13:34 |
| jakewc2 | speaking to you from the wireless instead of ethernet cable | 13:34 |
| jakewc2 | brilliant | 13:35 |
| TJ- | jakewc2: As you're in the UK, channels 1-13 are the legal zone | 13:36 |

| Sohron | the_drow: i don't remember the exact limit of uids on linux | 14:39 |
| TJ- | flip: Check "/var/log/syslog" for clues as to why it fails to connect | 14:39 |
| the_drow | Sohron: so what's safe to assume that will work and will not be overriden (given that we won't have a million users on the machine) | 14:39 |
| trndr | flip, fair enugh, but you could test it, if that does the trick then you know. | 14:39 |
| the_drow | Sohron: No guesses? Well http://www.google.co.il/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CCsQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DInsspuvAmBs&ei=OFKDU-XLF6je7Aa3h4GoCw&usg=AFQjCNGeJOYwZnZ7a1qcq5ZJWDve4RNkRA&bvm=bv.67720277,d.ZGU | 14:40 |
| flip | thanks, tmdr, I'll give it a try. Tj, what am I looking for? I have the log pulled up. | 14:40 |
| TJ- | flip: You should be able to recognise a series of reports as the WAP and client establish a connection, and then (via wpa_supplicant) try to negotiate the secure connection | 14:41 |
| Sohron | the_drow: well good for you :) | 14:41 |
| the_drow | Easy to remember | 14:42 |
| the_drow | and it works | 14:42 |
| maaruks | Does AMD graphics card driver work in ubuntu 14.04 ? I have got FirePro card and I can't get it to work with Trusty Tahr. | 14:43 |
| Sohron | the_drow: so why are you asking silly questions if you can google it yourself | 14:43 |
| TJ- | the_drow: see "/etc/adduser.conf and "LAST_UID" and "LAST_GID" | 14:43 |
| Sohron | the_drow: and /etc/login.defs | 14:44 |
| ichat | maaruks: there are about a milion diferent cards that have been release under the firepro flag, the only think to say is, try the prop drivers and see for yourself. | 14:45 |
| lnxslck | maaruks, it should work | 14:45 |
| the_drow | TJ-: hmm 29999 is the limit and 99999 works | 14:46 |
| flip | TJ, the supplicant says "WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect" but I know the key is right | 14:48 |
| TJ- | flip: then maybe the driver doesn't support the same encryption scheme as the WAP | 14:49 |
| TJ- | flip: in these cases the usual approach is to put the/a WAP in open mode and ensure you can connect to it, then progressively increase its security settings and keep connecting... WEP, WPA, WPA2-PSK, etc. If one fails, you know there's a driver-support issue | 14:50 |
| flip | Ok, thanks, TJ. I'll give that a go. | 14:51 |
| systom404 | can anyone confirm if ubuntu for acer c7 chromebook is all singing all dancing fully working with 0 issues ? | 15:00 |
| ki7mt | 0 issues .. that's asking a bit much. | 15:01 |
| OerHeks | systom404, there is chrUbuntu for those machines > http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.nl/ | 15:02 |
| arun_ | is it possible to install a amd64.deb file in 32-bit OS ? | 15:02 |
| OerHeks | arun_, no | 15:02 |
| compdoc | dont think so | 15:02 |
| ISmithers | Is there a way to tell if the mount command has succeeded? | 15:03 |
| compdoc | if you have a 64bit cpu, you should be using the 64bit version | 15:03 |
| OerHeks | ISmithers, you can check with the same 'mount' command | 15:03 |
| IdleOne | ISmithers: check in /mnt and see if what you mounted is there? | 15:03 |
| IdleOne | or run mount by itself and see | 15:04 |
| ISmithers | Is /mnt the default location for all mounted volumes? | 15:04 |
| arun_ | how can I compile a source to 32-bit .deb in 64 bit OS | 15:04 |
| IdleOne | yes | 15:04 |
| jrib | ISmithers: did you get an error? | 15:04 |
| ki7mt | mount && echo $? ... you should also see all the devices that mounted. | 15:04 |
| ISmithers | No | 15:04 |
| jrib | ISmithers: if it didn't fail, then it succeeded | 15:04 |
| IdleOne | ISmithers: generally in linux no errors means it was successful | 15:04 |
| ISmithers | Ah OK :) | 15:05 |
| ki7mt | Indeed, it it fails you normally get all sorts of nasty grams :-) | 15:05 |

| arun_ | OerHeks: how can I compile a source to 32-bit .deb in 64 bit OS | 15:06 |
| ki7mt | use debootstrap, debuild / pbuilder | 15:08 |
| digi0ps | lnxslck, that didnt work too. | 15:08 |
| arun_ | ki7mt: are u saying me? | 15:09 |
| ki7mt | arun_, yeah, be prepared for some reading though: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 15:09 |
| lnxslck | digi0ps, what ? | 15:11 |
| ki7mt | I build 32bit apps on 64bit all the time for packaging, same fer 64 on 32 .. does not mean they will run on the opposite though. | 15:11 |
| digi0ps | poweroff command still results in rebooting. | 15:11 |
| lnxslck | digi0ps, that's weird | 15:11 |
| lnxslck | maybe some kernel issue | 15:12 |
| lnxslck | not sure | 15:12 |

| ubuntuaddicted | can anyone tell me how to auto-mount some NFS shares when I log in? i tried adding mount -a to rc.local but that didn't work | 15:13 |
| sydney | Anyone? | 15:13 |
| CarlFK | ubuntuaddicted: log in or boot? (boot is easy: /etc/fstab) | 15:14 |
| ki7mt | arun_, you'll need to install package-dev, then ; sudo pbuilder --create --architecture i386 ; then ; sudo pbuilder --build <packagename.dsc> | 15:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, either or, i've already added them to my fstab and they're not getting auto mounted even with the auto option | 15:14 |
| llutz | ISmithers: "man exports|less -p anonymous" | 15:15 |
| CarlFK | ubuntuaddicted: mine do ;). I would focus on fixing that. | 15:15 |

When I try to start the server I get the message "May 26 14:55:10 localhost ovpn-server[6821]: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [undef]: Address already in use" What's wrong? | 15:18 |
| Sohron | enkindle: good :) | 15:18 |
| ki7mt | arun_, sri that's: packaging-dev not package-dev ... yeah, the dsc file has the build deps in the control file | 15:18 |
| CarlFK | ubuntuaddicted: setup the files, then use "sudo mount foo" and see if it gives any errors | 15:18 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, they mount just fine when I issue sudo mount -a | 15:19 |
| RoDiMuS-X | How would i go about switching from Ubuntu-Gnome distro to regular Ubuntu | 15:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, or if I add the users to the fstab entry, i can click on the folder and it will then mount them | 15:19 |
| ki7mt | arun_, once you gotten to the dsc stage, pbuilds downloads and installs all the deps, then does the build. | 15:19 |

| arun_ | ki7mt: I mean should I need to do all the steps of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 15:22 |
| CarlFK | arun_: not sure where you are, but here is my workflow for what you might be doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb | 15:22 |
| ki7mt | arun_, If you on a 32bit box, there's not much point in building 64bit code really. | 15:23 |
| ki7mt | For 64bit box and 32bit code, that's ok, can do the multi-lib installs and you good to go. | 15:23 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, nope, even after adding auto to my fstab they still don't automount | 15:24 |
| arun_ | ki7mt: I have 64 bit box and need to build 32 bit deb, I do have the source code | 15:24 |
| CarlFK | ubuntuaddicted: are you using wifi (which I don't think comes up till you log in to the desktop and nm kicks in? | 15:24 |
| Koma | hi there | 15:25 |
| ki7mt | arun_, then your fine. If it's true 32bit code, you'll need whatever libs are required to build, just install them. | 15:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, no wifi, it's hard wired. They mount just fine if i issue sudo mount -a | 15:25 |
| Koma | there is no cman package for 14.04 .. has been deprecated? | 15:25 |
| Koma | what is the cluster alternative? | 15:25 |
| ki7mt | arun_, I work on an app that needs 23bit gfortran, so I install libgfortran:i386 .. easy peaszy. | 15:25 |
| ki7mt | needs 32bit .. sri | 15:26 |
| CarlFK | ubuntuaddicted: my guess is networking isn't up yet. hmm.. this sounds familiar... | 15:26 |
| ISmithers | sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.24 /mnt/media gives me "mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format" and sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.24:/mnt/media just shows the mount help info... so, what am I doing wrong? | 15:26 |
| ubuntuaddicted | CarlFK, that's why _netdev is in the fstab entry. I am using Xubuntu 14.04 | 15:27 |
| llutz | ISmithers: mount -t nfs 192.168.1.24:/what-nfs-export /where-to-mount | 15:28 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ISmithers, you need the server:path and also where you want to mount it. So it would be sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.24:/some/folder /mnt/media | 15:28 |
| pouete | hello peoples, a question here, my lock screen shortcuts are not working : passing throught dbus works perfectly, but once i want to use the shortcut, i have no reaction at all | 15:29 |
| ISmithers | Oh OK. Someone gave me an example earlier which was: mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1 /media/NFS hence why I was trying that, but I see that -t has a 3 part syntax, so I wasn't sure heh. | 15:29 |
| nijo | Hey Guys, Is there any way to start an xterm for a user instead of loading the GUI on bootup??? | 15:29 |

| ISmithers | Thanks llutz / ubuntuaddicted :> | 15:29 |
| pouete | how can i solve this little problem ? :) | 15:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nijo, so you want to boot into a terminal console not a desktop manager? | 15:30 |
| nijo | yes :) | 15:30 |
| CalimeroTeknik | hello, what is accountsservice / accounts-daemon for? | 15:31 |
| nijo | a terminal console with GUI support to be exact | 15:31 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nijo, you could just hit ctrl-alt-f1 and log in that way but I am sure there's a way to not launch lightdm or whatever greeter you're using and only have it launch a console. i am not sure how to do that, i'd have to google it | 15:31 |
| ki7mt | ISmithers, it's a bit dated, but lot of good info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 15:32 |
| ISmithers | Oh cool, thanks for that ki7mt! :D | 15:32 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest89192 | ||

| stevecam | Who had the clever idea of disabling workspaces by default in Unity? | 15:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nijo, not sure how to do that other than just logging into you desktop environment and then launching xterm | 15:38 |
| ki7mt | I'd have to go looky, but I thought there was a line commented out in the Grub2 config for this, where quiet-splash is uncommented, and test is commented out. | 15:38 |
| bazhang | !nox | 15:39 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 15:39 |
| ki7mt | text .. commented out.. | 15:39 |
| nijo | yeah so far me also knows that method :) | 15:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ki7mt, bazhang but isn't that text only without X running? | 15:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ki7mt, bazhang he wants X running so if he launches VLC it will open a player | 15:40 |
| ki7mt | Ahh, well Ctrl+Alt+T then :-) | 15:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nijo, you could launch xterm, set it to fullscreen and save the session so that whenever you log in it will always open xterm | 15:41 |
| ki7mt | then hit F11 fer a full screen of gnome-teerminal :-) | 15:41 |

| daedeloth | (when will the bug with autocomplete be fixed?) | 15:57 |
| Beldar | daedeloth, This is support, do you need that? | 15:58 |
| ki7mt | arun_, the links I sent eariler is the best information I have on pubuilder, there may be some sites here and there, can also look at the Debian Maintainers Guide for more info. | 15:58 |

| Beldar | daedeloth, Ah, well it's not a bug it is your issue. ;) | 16:00 |
| daedeloth | so nobody has noticed that ubuntu got sluggish after upgrading? Perhaps it indeed is my problem... | 16:00 |
| daedeloth | http://askubuntu.com/questions/449915/ubuntu-14-04-is-too-slow | 16:02 |
| daedeloth | here is my bug. | 16:02 |
| daedeloth | (hm, sorry, that's not a bug, but a question :)) | 16:02 |
| OSaddict | daedeloth: What's your CPU specs? | 16:02 |
| daedeloth | Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8 | 16:03 |
| daedeloth | o-ow, I just notice something: VESA: CAYMAN | 16:03 |
| OSaddict | Damn, it should definitely not lag on that! | 16:03 |
| daedeloth | could be graphics | 16:03 |
| daedeloth | it's really annoying, i can type faster than chrome autocomplete áaand it sometimes messes up the order of the letters. | 16:04 |
| daedeloth | hm, but according to "softwrae & updates", I'm using fglrx, but in "info" it sais vesa: cayman | 16:04 |
| OSaddict | Could also be swap overuse. Linux manages swapping in a terribly inefficient way. | 16:04 |
| daedeloth | 0 bytes swap used | 16:05 |
| Beldar | OSaddict, Careful making broad statements you can't prove, it is not helpful, recognize the context and the person your helpings ability to understand that. | 16:05 |
| Beldar | helping* | 16:06 |
| daedeloth | I do have a system load of around 1, but with a quad core that shouldn't be a problem | 16:06 |
| daedeloth | the "slugginess" is also noticeable on my laptop | 16:07 |
| daedeloth | so I consider this "an ubuntu issue". 13.10 was faster. | 16:07 |
| daedeloth | on all devices I own | 16:07 |
| daedeloth | (that is: 2.) | 16:07 |
| Beldar | daedeloth, If you just externalize the blame you will never, get stuff working. | 16:07 |
| OSaddict | Beldar: Sorry. That's just been my experience, though. Probably different for others. | 16:08 |
| Beldar | OSaddict, Not a big deal it just clouds the issues. ;) | 16:09 |
| volkan | hi | 16:09 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: Is typing slow in a console terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F1) ? | 16:09 |
| daedeloth | well, it's not about externalizing the blame, but I don't know anything about ubuntu development. as an end user, I can only say that I did 2 fresh ubuntu installs and my experience has been twice that 14.04 is slower (or at least: less responsive) than 13.10 | 16:09 |
| daedeloth | no, seems fine there | 16:10 |
| OSaddict | I've always found 12.04 to be waaaay faster than any of the later releases. | 16:10 |
| daedeloth | also, I can't really say it's "slow". It's just that I notice there are delays | 16:10 |

| superlou | So, I have a pile of Acronis trueimage .tib files from back in 2008 or so. Is there any way to open those in ubuntu? It seems like it's a proprietary backup format (which I regret) | 16:17 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: "F=/etc/X11/xorg.conf; [ -e "$F" ] && pastebinit $F" | 16:17 |
| daedeloth | that didn't work. :) | 16:18 |
| daedeloth | no xorg.conf | 16:18 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: probably auto-configured, so no file, which was why I wrote it as a conditional | 16:18 |
| daedeloth | aah, ok | 16:18 |
| ki7mt | superlou, I used TrueImage for a long time, I've never been able to use anything but TI on them. | 16:18 |
| daedeloth | me no speak bash. | 16:18 |
| Beldar | superlou, In general you can get a 30 try period on windows releases, put it it a virtual and access those. | 16:19 |
| Beldar | in* | 16:19 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: OK, my best guess here is that you've got the one desktop spread over all the monitors as a single X screen, is that correct? | 16:19 |
| superlou | ki7mt, that's what i was afraid of | 16:19 |
| superlou | Beldar, unfortunately i don't have any valid windows licenses available | 16:19 |
| ki7mt | Im not saying there isn't somethign, haven't looked in a long time, but at the time, was TI or nothing. | 16:19 |
| superlou | though maybe i'll just do it one day in the office | 16:19 |
| Beldar | superlou, You do not have to have one for a trial period | 16:19 |
| daedeloth | TJ-, yes, fairly sure it is. a default xinerama setup I think | 16:19 |
| superlou | ki7mt, yeah. I've been googling, but haven't hit anything | 16:20 |
| superlou | Beldar, wouldn't i need a windows licenese to install it in a VM? | 16:20 |
| daedeloth | multiple x-screens is a hussle. | 16:20 |
| Beldar | superlou, Not that I know of in a try scenario, you might ask in ##windows | 16:20 |
| n0x_42 | Is there a way to output the value of a variable to a file while using "EOF"? | 16:20 |
| superlou | Beldar, googling now. apparently if i can get hold of a windows 7 dvd, i can try it for 30 days. just need to get a dvd | 16:21 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: OK, it is *usually* the case with Xinerama that 3D rendering is disabled, which might explain your symptoms. I'd suggest you try running on 1 monitor as a test, and see if it is faster responding. If they do, that tends to confirm its a xinerama issue | 16:21 |
| n0x_42 | Something like "${variableName}" is actually printed out instead of the value of that variable. | 16:21 |
| TJ- | daedeloth: I run 6 monitors here over 3 GPUs, and I use separate X screens to avoid that issue myself | 16:22 |
| n0x_42 | That's in bash btw. | 16:22 |
| daedeloth | TJ-, I'm pretty sure 3d is enabled, but my main problem is: this problem didn't exist in 13.10. | 16:22 |
| TJ- | n0x_42: You mean, using a '<< here-document' | 16:22 |
| n0x_42 | No, I am using read -d '' String <<"EOF" | 16:22 |
| ki7mt | Man, TJ- I can barely keep up with one monitor, let alone 6!! :-) | 16:23 |
| n0x_42 | Would here-document work? | 16:23 |
| superlou | Beldar, well I'll give http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh699156 a try. Beldar, ki7mt thanks! | 16:23 |

| n0x_42 | Ok, so is there a way to not use \n to indicate a newline? It's a pretty long document. | 16:25 |
| TJ- | n0x_42: If you want parameter expansion you must *not* quote the word, so <<EOF not <<"EOF" | 16:25 |
| superlou | Beldar, I'll try out the official 8.1 version first, and resort to 7 if i have to | 16:25 |
| Beldar | superlou, I was hoping you would. | 16:26 |
| TJ- | n0x_42: I typed those "\n" just to indicate line-feeds; you would not put them in literally, just normal line-feeds | 16:26 |
| n0x_42 | Ahh ok I see. There will also be a lot of single quotes. Will that be an issue? | 16:26 |
| n0x_42 | So basically something like this: define('DB_NAME', '"${mysqlName}"'); | 16:26 |
| superlou | Beldar, yeah. I'd prefer not to have to resort to something sketchy to recover backups | 16:26 |
| TJ- | n0x_42: Best thing is to test it on a sample | 16:26 |
| superlou | That said, I don't mind blasting the VM every 90 days, or every acronis trueimage timeout. I'm a little miffed of a backup tool that no longer lets you access your backups if you stop paying. | 16:27 |
| TJ- | n0x_42: but it should be OK provided you don't have embedded BASH expansions... to get a literal "$" you'd need to escape it "\$" | 16:27 |
| Beldar | superlou, Digital River was the official release link on W7 | 16:27 |
| superlou | Beldar, will try to find something more ubuntu friendly for backups | 16:28 |
| Beldar | superlou, clonezilla is one I use. | 16:28 |
| Beldar | it clones though | 16:29 |
| superlou | Beldar, my understanding is that that's full disc imaging? At this point, i'd rather just backup folder diffs | 16:29 |

| Beldar | dhanvi, What is on the HD right now, and when do you see this error? | 16:33 |
| superlou | Beldar, rsync's very interesting. I was using simplebackup, or whatever the included app was for a while, but ran into issues restoring, though at least i can manually grab files. At this point, I've just been backing up my home directory before each ubuntu release into a folder, and deleting out the large files that are dups. | 16:33 |
| dhanvi | i am having already having windows 8 and ubuntu gnome | 16:34 |
| dhanvi | i messed up with the grub | 16:34 |
| dhanvi | i tried boot repair | 16:35 |
| Beldar | superlou, I use a gui that uses rsync to back up home, just for a backup no reuse of it as home again, just saved stuff. | 16:35 |

| Beldar | dhanvi, I know hardly nothing about UEFI or EFI stuff, I'm just trying to get you the right help. | 16:40 |
| Beldar | adman, Not really, I would pull out what you need accessing from windows and do a dualboot. | 16:42 |
| jcstarken | I have installed 14.04 on external hdd, using usb port my machine should want to boot from it first but is not, instead going straight to my 12.04 that is on the local hdd, any advise and thank you in advance | 16:42 |
| Beldar | jcstarken, Use the per-session manual boot menu. | 16:43 |
| Beldar | or set it first in the bios | 16:43 |
| Beldar | adman, THere is a wubi megathread at the ubuntu forums, the one person who has done support is found there. | 16:44 |
| jcstarken | Beldar: Thank you I have tried holding down the c button and it still just goes to 12.04 I will look up per session manual boot menu thank you | 16:44 |
| skeamz | ok i managed to figure it out using gconf and editing profiles manually thnx though :D | 16:45 |
| Beldar | jcstarken, Mine is a f12 at powering on. | 16:45 |
| Beldar | your bios splash should tell you jcstarken | 16:45 |
| jcstarken | Beldar: yes mine is f1 and it is set to external that is why I cant figure it out thank you | 16:46 |
| Beldar | jcstarken, Not the bios itself the splash you see first, has this info generally. | 16:46 |
| TJ- | jcstarken: Is the system UEFI? | 16:47 |

| akat | Afternoon folks, trying to use a preseed file for some stuff, and it mostly works, but I can't seem to get it to accept the root password as an md5 hash. plaintext works fine but is obviously not ideal. Is there some gotcha that's not outlined anywhere? | 17:39 |

| jj1234 | anyone know why in later versions of ubuntu I seem to never be able to stop a service, service ssh or smbd both say Unknown job. /etc/init.d/script stop doesn't seem to work either | 17:41 |
| bluezone | how long does it take for applications to get approved on the ubuntu store :S | 17:41 |
| T4b1 | Lubuntu 14.04, which command do I use to get the printer progress dialog, where it displays what it's printing right now and if something doesn't work? | 17:41 |

| watamacha | for some reason update manager is frozen while configuring kernel headers | 17:44 |

| watamacha | whatcha think I should do? | 17:45 |

| Beldar | watamacha, Do you have a boot partition? | 17:45 |
| kostkon | qstrahl, what version of ubuntu are you on | 17:45 |
| qstrahl | 14.04 | 17:46 |
| watamacha | Beldar: boot partition? | 17:46 |
| valleydaddy78 | i wish someone could remotly help me grrr | 17:46 |
| kostkon | qstrahl, that is normal then. | 17:46 |
| qstrahl | Oh. | 17:46 |

| wget | Note to myself: "avoid the #ubuntu channel as much as possible" | 17:46 |
| jj1234 | well I thought I tried the only ways short of kill -9 | 17:46 |

| wget | Guest3258: Otherwise I cannot help you. | 17:47 |
| watamacha | Beldar: dont believe I ever intentionally configured it like that | 17:47 |
| jj1234 | what is the proper way to stop the smbd or ssh service? | 17:47 |
| kostkon | qstrahl, it will only show the services that you have already setup. | 17:47 |
| wget | qstrahl: Yep. I should keep restrained to #ubuntu-dev (or ubuntu-kernel since I'm a dev). | 17:47 |
| Beldar | watamacha, Do you have a separate / | 17:47 |
| Beldar | watamacha, What I'm looking for is a partition filled. | 17:48 |
| wget | TJ-: I'm gonna ask on ubuntu-dev, the #lightdm channel is too desert. If I've no answer. I'm gonna read the code then. | 17:48 |
| TJ- | wget: liblightdm calls lightdm_user_get_background() which calls common_user_get_background() which calls load_user_values() which calls load_dmrc () which calls dmrc_load() which looks for $HOME/.dmrc or a cached version | 17:48 |
| jj1234 | schrod: is there a different way? | 17:48 |
| watamacha | Beldar: how would 2 partitions appear in nautilus? | 17:48 |

| KM0201 | no, he's not | 18:42 |
| TJ- | wget see also: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66914/how-to-change-desktop-background-from-command-line-in-unity | 18:42 |
| Beldar | bobo69, this is not a supported OS here take it to a pm | 18:42 |
| KM0201 | Megabyte: did you read it?.. he's complaining about lag, etc.. | 18:42 |
| Megabyte | KM0201, yes. Basically, the performance of the oss drive is not good | 18:43 |
| KM0201 | Megabyte: exactly | 18:43 |
| Megabyte | KM0201, but the resolution is apparently ok | 18:43 |
| KM0201 | lagging, etc..? | 18:43 |
| Megabyte | KM0201, This guy of the Brazilian Ubuntu channel is not even getting the resolution right | 18:43 |
| bobo69 | Nszceta: zfs set dedup=on "name of filesystem here" | 18:44 |
| wget | TJ-: Thanks for your links. Indeed changing the background in CLI is related. | 18:44 |
| wget | Btw, G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE has to be defined somewhere too? No? | 18:44 |
| bobo69 | Then just copy data off the file system and back on | 18:44 |
| nszceta | bobo69 the issue isn't 100% similar data | 18:44 |
| bobo69 | Warning: you need a ton of ram to pull that off | 18:44 |
| nszceta | and I don't have enough RAM | 18:44 |
| nszceta | I only have 32 GB of ECC DDR3 | 18:45 |
| TJ- | wget: https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Type-Information.html#G-TYPE-INSTANCE-GET-PRIVATE:CAPS | 18:45 |
| KM0201 | Megabyte: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver try double checking the open source driver installation | 18:45 |
| nszceta | bobo69 copying the data off the FS and back on will put you back at square 1 | 18:45 |
| Beldar | bobo69, This is not bsd support the user is now being enabled to use a channel they should not use a pm. | 18:45 |
| bobo69 | The dedupe is block level not file level so you will save space for even if they aren't 100pct identical. But there isn't a way to get around the ram kssje | 18:46 |
| nszceta | Beldar I am not interested in BSD solutions! | 18:46 |
| nszceta | bobo69 thank you for your input | 18:46 |
| Megabyte | KM0201, All right. I'll tell him to purge the proprietary install. | 18:46 |
| wget | TJ-: It's awful. We shouldn't be able to access all private variables directly. This is breaking encapsulation. | 18:46 |
| Beldar | nszceta, YOu are using bsd period I gave you another channel, do not abuse this one. | 18:46 |
| * nszceta goes off to see what he can do with fdupes on ubuntu over NFS | 18:46 | |

| TJ- | wget: src/background.vala:598: var new_background = load_background (current_background); | 18:51 |
| wget | TJ-: On Debian/Ubuntu, I forgot is dpkg --get-selections | grep MY_PATTERN the only way to check if a package containing my pattern is installed? | 18:52 |
| TJ- | wget: "dpkg-query -l <pattern-glob>" | 18:52 |

| Beldar | Fohlen, What ubuntu release and android release? | 19:48 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, Ah 2.3 | 19:48 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, I believe that is to old in general, if in 12.04 there is a ppa for mtp | 19:49 |
| Beldar | if it's going to mount Fohlen releases past should mount if not to old | 19:49 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 19:51 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, There are android apps though that should work through the browser | 19:51 |
| Diplomat | guys i have one pretty funky question | 19:51 |
| Fohlen | eh ups Beldar, 14.04 | 19:51 |
| Diplomat | is it possible that when im installing ubuntu 64bit.. it somehow turns into 32bit ? | 19:51 |

| ubuntuaddicted | Diplomat, not possible | 19:52 |
| Fohlen | yeah, I installed a fresh ubuntu some weeks ago | 19:52 |
| Diplomat | no im not retarded or something.. im just having a very very very weird problem | 19:52 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, THe android is to old for mounting. | 19:52 |
| Fohlen | Beldar: any workaround? | 19:52 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, I gave you one | 19:52 |
| Fohlen | do I need specific drivers or shit | 19:52 |
| MannerMan2 | How do you guys handle storage in a dualboot system? I dualboot with Ubuntu and Win 7 a lot and storing stuff on NTFS-partitions is not ideal when working in Ubuntu since its very slow.. | 19:52 |
| Fohlen | hmm, only through apps, kk | 19:52 |

| Fohlen | Beldar: is there any technical specification I could read through to get more into the error? | 19:55 |
| Fohlen | really curious what blocks that stuff. | 19:56 |
| Beldar | MannerMan2, A stand alone ntfs partition is the suggested method | 19:56 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, Not really it is just to old, no workarounds, install a 4 release of android, it will mount. | 19:57 |
| MannerMan2 | Beldar: Well, that's pretty much what I have today | 19:57 |
| MannerMan2 | Been considering NAS share with NFS / Smb but it seems to be a hassle really (and prob. even slower) | 19:57 |
| Beldar | MannerMan2, Best option, you do not want to change the windows OS from linux in general. | 19:57 |

| ianorlin | aljosa does another port work? | 20:03 |
| Beldar | aljosa, Try the guest account, to see if maybe you tweaked to hard in your account trying to get it to mount, or there is a install problem. | 20:03 |

| ubottu | meek_geek, please see my private message | 20:16 |
| aljosa | TJ-: don't know what mode means but on android it's "Media device (MTP)" | 20:17 |

| chamunks | This thing on 12.04 refuses to send DMTF tones. | 20:58 |
| Azamor | chamunks: did you try linphone? | 20:58 |
| chamunks | I can | 20:58 |
| chamunks | Azamor, does it integrate as well with unity as empathy? | 20:58 |
| Azamor | don´t know since I don t use Unity but I think it s gtk3 | 20:58 |

| user45633 | hi, I have a laptop HP G62 with hybrid graphics ATI/Intel, I'm trying to switch to the ATI. This is what I'm doing: before login in I press ctrl + alt + f1 and login by commandline; then I chown the /sys/kernel/debug folder and switch file; then I type sudo echo ON > switch and after cat switch I see that the graphics pwr stays the same (0:IGD + pwr | 1:DIS Dynoff)... i'm not an expert on ubuntu so I'm might have missed something, thanks | 21:01 |
| mr-tech-guy | I can ping it | 21:02 |
| mr-tech-guy | I can ssh to it and see my folders | 21:02 |
| chamunks | Azamor, does linphone receive calls as well? | 21:05 |
| mr-tech-guy | Hello any one I am trying not to redo my Ubuntu server , I can't connect to my folder on my server when I try to connect from my laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 | 21:10 |
| savid | I'm getting this error when trying to run an application: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-xrJgymK0OX: Connection refused | 21:10 |
| mr-tech-guy | it keep asking for a user name an password \ | 21:11 |
| Gallomimia | mostly that's provided to the server when you set it up | 21:11 |
| savid | It looks like /tmp/dbus-xrJgymK0OX is set in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. How do I make sure that value is correct? | 21:11 |
| Azamor | chamunks: I know it cans but never tried | 21:11 |
| chamunks | Turns out you have to select publish presence. | 21:11 |
| Azamor | chamunks: always prefered to receive them on my physical phone | 21:11 |
| chamunks | And I would but I'm trying to reduce the number of silly devices I have around. | 21:12 |
| === Azamor is now known as Azamor_afk | ||
| Gallomimia | i want to increase the number of sensible devices i have around | 21:12 |
| Azamor_afk | chamunks: ok | 21:12 |
| Gallomimia | too bad that's zero so far :( | 21:12 |
| Azamor_afk | Gallomimia: lol | 21:12 |
| Gallomimia | i'll get there one day! | 21:13 |

| adamcunnington | Hi, i've just installed ffmpeg and it succesfully installed but the command, ffmpeg is not found | 21:13 |
| Gallomimia | ffmpeg is not a command, it's a library | 21:13 |
| adamcunnington | looking at the docs, i can use it as a command; ffmpeg -i oldfile.wav newfile.mp4 for example | 21:14 |
| Gallomimia | interesting | 21:14 |
| Gallomimia | must not be installed into the path you're using | 21:14 |
| adamcunnington | Gallomimia: or perhaps i need to install something on top offfmpeg? | 21:14 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: It's no longer possible under 14.04, it's been deprecated in 12.04 or so | 21:15 |
| adamcunnington | i just did sudo apt-get install ffmpeg but might need to download something else as well? | 21:15 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: what do you mean deprecated? :| | 21:15 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: how can i easily convert an avi file to a mp4 | 21:15 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: mencoder is the solution | 21:15 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: can i easily do this to 900 files? | 21:15 |
| Gallomimia | every freakin' time. failed to install grub on /dev/sda | 21:16 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: Yes | 21:16 |
| adamcunnington | ok installing mencoder now, will check the man page, thanks | 21:16 |
| cidadao | adamcunnington, not sure but have a look at avconv | 21:16 |
| Gallomimia | anyone want to suggest what i can do to get the grub2 loader to install properly on my maniacal system configuration? | 21:17 |
| jimcha | asdas | 21:18 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: i know nothing about codecs, can i do something as simple as mencoder oldfile.avi newfile.mp4 ? | 21:18 |
| gt_ | jimcha: dwd\\ | 21:19 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: the syntax looks fine looking at the man page but is conversion as simple as that | 21:19 |
| adamcunnington | ? | 21:19 |
| Gallomimia | can someone tell me what the heck this means: | 21:19 |
| Gallomimia | no boot loader has been installed, either because you chose not to or because your specific architecture doesn't support a boot loader yet. | 21:19 |
| Gallomimia | you will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/mapper/hydra-root and root=/dev/mapper/hydra-root passed as a kernel argument | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: look into avconv, its the replacement for ffmpeg | 21:19 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: i've been told that mencoder does the job just fine? | 21:19 |
| psicobra | Gallomimia, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2070533 | 21:20 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: yeah, but avconv is faster and easier | 21:20 |
| psicobra | might help | 21:20 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: avconv works too, it's just another encoder | 21:20 |
| jimcha | asdasdas | 21:20 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: ok fair enough - but with regard to my above question | 21:20 |
| jimcha | gt_: malaka gamiese? | 21:20 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: also, you'll need to specify more. avi and mp4 are not codecs. they are containers, they can have the same codecs in them even. | 21:21 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: ok, how do i know what to specify? i just want my avi file to "work" as a mp4 as it currently won't play on my android phone | 21:22 |

| lorenz | adamcunnington: Install MXPlayer is wayyy simpler | 21:22 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: currently via vlc on my android phone, video looks fine but the sound is all crackly, nothing audibly english | 21:22 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: see what codec the avi is, see what codecs are supported by your phone | 21:22 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: looks like i can donload (if it's not already on there) MX Player Codec (ARMV7) | 21:23 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: what do you mean? | 21:23 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: install mxplayer on my mobile? | 21:23 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: Yes | 21:23 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| adamcunnington | lorenz: will it defo support whatever codec my avi file is using? | 21:24 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: i was really surprised as i expected vlc to support everything so i assumed i couldn't get round this problem without giving my phone a different audio format | 21:24 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: MXPlayer supports almost everything (with the exception of DTS) | 21:24 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: fair enough, will give it a go now, thanks! | 21:25 |
| NGC982 | Has anyone of you guys used tellprox in ubuntu? | 21:25 |

| adamcunnington | lorenz: it has ads grr! apart from that, plays beautifully thanks | 21:27 |
| mr-tech-guy | Hello every one | 21:27 |
| Beldar | NGC982, Not sure that is a ubuntu support issue, do you have any support issues attached? | 21:28 |
| mr-tech-guy | I am trying to keep from redoing my Ubuntu Server. I can connect to my share folder on my server | 21:29 |
| mr-tech-guy | I can ping the server | 21:29 |
| mr-tech-guy | I can ssh to it | 21:29 |
| Beldar | mr-tech-guy, lighten up the enters and use one post. | 21:29 |
| mr-tech-guy | ok | 21:30 |
| qstrahl | Beldar, Maybe he is giving you play-by-play updates and wants you to have information as soon as it becomes available! =P | 21:30 |
| mr-tech-guy | when I try to connect to my folder it ask for a user name and password , and when I put in my user name and password it wan take. | 21:31 |
| Beldar | qstrahl, sure, but we have to have an understandable cogent set of info, many users, will use the enter like punctuation, si it is best to say something. ;) | 21:31 |
| Beldar | so* | 21:31 |
| Gallomimia | i think i'm going wrong by having my mobo locked into non-uefi only. which should i choose for best option to get ubuntu running under a raid/crypt/lvm config? | 21:32 |
| NGC982 | Beldar: No, not really. It's a service that helps me connect and control radio controlled hardware via the Tellstick USB interface. The documentation is -very- limited. :/ | 21:33 |
| Beldar | NGC982, Cool, so you understand the channels role? | 21:34 |
| mzaza | What is the best Virtual Machine solution in terms of performance and graphics for Ubuntu? Paid or free, closed or open source. | 21:34 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: as it happens, i still need to convert because i am playing files from my media server and these can't play outside of the mediaserver app so i need to use a supported format (mp4) | 21:34 |
| qstrahl | mzaza, VirtualBox is a pretty standard staple | 21:34 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: i don't understand what params i need to supply mencoder to convert avi to mp4 | 21:34 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: What media center app? | 21:35 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: again, the codec is what matters, not the container | 21:35 |
| NGC982 | Beldar: Absolutely. It's not really a Ubuntu support question. You guys are often helpful in most everything. | 21:35 |
| mzaza | qstrahl: I felt KVM was little bit faster, do you have different experience? | 21:35 |
| NGC982 | Like soldering, or invading countries. | 21:35 |
| Beldar | NGC982, Yeah you never know, it is the details that make this happen. ;) | 21:35 |
| qstrahl | mzaza, I don't have much experience with KVM but what I do know about it causes me to not doubt that it can perform better. | 21:35 |
| Beldar | NGC982> Like soldering, or invading countries. lol | 21:35 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: plex | 21:35 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: yea hence why i was asking | 21:36 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: i don't know what codec i need | 21:36 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: Ok, then you'r out of luck with alternate apps | 21:36 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: yea so i need to convert file | 21:36 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: but you weren't asking, you just keep saying avi -> mp4 without saying what codec you want or have | 21:36 |
| Ben64 | adamcunnington: this is not even on topic for #ubuntu | 21:36 |
| adamcunnington | I tried "mencoder "blah.avi" "blah.mp4" -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -of mpeg" | 21:36 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: Try mp3 as audio codec, It'll work everywhere | 21:37 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: i don't know what codec i want or have | 21:37 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: -oac mp3 -ovc copy | 21:37 |
| Ben64 | then find out | 21:37 |
| mr-tech-guy | Beldar am I in the wrong room for help | 21:37 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: thanks | 21:37 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: definitely -oac mp3 -ovc copy, not -oac copy -ovc mp3 ? | 21:37 |
| Ben64 | you want your video codec to be mp3? | 21:38 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: Well, -oac is the audio codec and -ovc the video codec, and you said that the audio is the problem | 21:38 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: yea ah i see, thanks | 21:38 |
| adamcunnington | is "mp4" a codec? | 21:39 |
| adamcunnington | or do mp4 files use the mp3 codec? | 21:39 |
| Ben64 | mp4 is a container | 21:39 |
| bekks | mp4 is a container. | 21:39 |
| adamcunnington | what does that mean? can a container use any audio codec? | 21:39 |
| * Gallomimia gets mad at usb-drive for not booting when it contains a copy of the Hannibal movie and not a livecd :( | 21:40 | |
| Ben64 | you might want to do more reading before jumping into this stuff | 21:40 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: Error parsing option on the command line: -oac Option oac: Unknown suboption mp3 | 21:40 |
| Ben64 | or use avconv like i suggested earlier | 21:40 |
| bekks | adamcunnington: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14 | 21:40 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: i literally just need to convert a file from avi to something that works on my phone :| | 21:40 |
| Ben64 | and i literally told you that avi is not a format | 21:40 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: -oac mp3lame | 21:41 |
| Ben64 | still is not on topic here | 21:41 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: i don't mind using avconv but can you suggest what i type to convert an .avi file to something that is supported | 21:41 |
| adamcunnington | lorenz: thanks | 21:41 |
| notemo | looking for advice / opinion - running ubuntu 10.04 desktop, which i use as a desktop - but ended up installing / usng a LAMP stack, plus running 4 vm's under VirtualBox - i want to upgrate to 14.04. I have a second system i can migrate to. - should i stick with Virtualbox? shuld i install the server version, then isntall the deskup on top of that, or start with desktop as i did before and | 21:41 |
| notemo | instal the lamp stack on that? (dorry for the long post) | 21:41 |
| adamcunnington | Ben64: yes it is as it's the parameters that i'm passing that i'm struggling with | 21:41 |
| Ben64 | we're not a mencoder/avconv help channel. we're not a phone channel, this is not within the scope of #ubuntu | 21:41 |
| notemo | typo city.. but hope that made sense. | 21:42 |
| lorenz | notemo: I suggest libvirt with virt-manager as frontend and qemu-kvm as backend. Can start VMs in the background easily, you can administrate them remotely using virt-manager and they are fast because of kvm. | 21:42 |
| k1l_ | notemo: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 and then wait for 14.04.1 to upgrade to 14.04 | 21:42 |
| Ben64 | notemo: if you need the desktop, you should install the desktop version. its up to you if you want to continue using vbox | 21:42 |
| mr-tech-guy | when I try to connect to my folder it ask for a user name and password , and when I put in my user name and password it wan take. | 21:43 |
| k1l_ | adamcunnington: get to know what video formats your phone/mediaplayer on your phone works with. i bet there are a lot of howtos with exact parameters as examples | 21:44 |
| trndr | mr-tech-guy, have you read http://askubuntu.com/questions/182131/samba-does-not-accept-my-password and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1583601 ? | 21:44 |
| notemo | i'm definatly not hung up on vbox, as long as i cna manage the vm's i am good, but, the caviot is i need to migrat ehte vm's to wahtever the palstform is. | 21:44 |
| lorenz | adamcunnington: With avconv it's avconv -i test.avi -c:v libx264 -c:a mp3 outputfile.mp4 | 21:44 |
| mr-tech-guy | trndr n o but I will check it out Thanks | 21:45 |
| notemo | is there any kernel diffrences between the desktop and server in 14.04? | 21:46 |

| dw1 | Gallomimia: why installing to a partition | 22:10 |
| fugitiva | beldar mi ingles es malo | 22:11 |
| dw1 | Gallomimia: i install to the drive | 22:11 |
| Gallomimia | dw1: no idea really. the command with no partition doesn't work either. it's a raid device, and i can't get the silly thing to install grub for anything | 22:11 |

| Beldar | no prob ;) | 22:11 |
| badbz | adamcunnington: it is under /var/lib/plexmediaserver/* | 22:12 |

| Gallomimia | i haven't gotten the system to boot at all yet beldar. still trying to install | 22:15 |
| Gallomimia | all the installer ran, the partitions are all set up in my crazy complex config.... grub won't install | 22:15 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, Ah, I missed earlier info, this a uefi, msdos or gpt? | 22:16 |
| Gallomimia | uh.... i think i have the choice? | 22:16 |
| Beldar | !bootinfo | Gallomimia this would help us | 22:16 |
| ubottu | Gallomimia this would help us: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 22:16 |
| Gallomimia | i'm going to suggest uefi. i don't know what i should proceed with. | 22:16 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, YOU in a gui install? | 22:17 |
| Gallomimia | no it's quite text-based menu like stuff | 22:17 |
| Gallomimia | up and down arrows... | 22:17 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, If yoiu have a command line you can confirm the partition table type, if you're not sure. | 22:18 |
| adamcunnington | i'm getting an error when copying due to permission denied, can i do this via commandline using sudo? | 22:18 |
| Gallomimia | i do have a very limited command line. | 22:18 |
| Gallomimia | most "commands" result in the command not being found. grub-install fails to execute most of its script | 22:19 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, Try parted -l | 22:19 |
| Gallomimia | no | 22:19 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, Which means? | 22:20 |
| Gallomimia | command not found | 22:20 |
| Beldar | ah | 22:20 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, Server right? | 22:20 |
| Gallomimia | yeah i used that installer to gain access to the raid/crypt/lvm options | 22:21 |
| Beldar | Gallomimia, Hmm, not quite complex enough, lol, I can't help there. | 22:21 |

| jstrong | Hi everyone. I'm trying to debug a nasty issue with a Radeon HD 6000 card not working properly. The xOrg open source drivers work, but they give a lot of screen artifacts. Any time I install any version of AMD"s proprietary drivers my machine boots into low graphics mode and I cannot do anything. I have followed most if not all the different answers present in this lengthy StackOverflow thread to no avail: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-th | 22:27 |
| htech | Hey All, is there a way to debug network configuration issues in the Ubuntu Server Installer? Basically can I escape to a shell and use ifconfig, ping, ect. Stuck on "Checking the Ubuntu Archive Mirror" | 22:28 |
| jstrong | My card worked perfectly on Ubuntu 12, so it's strange that Ubuntu 14 would start giving that many problems | 22:28 |
| sickmind | Any one knows, the hotkey to open nautilus? | 22:28 |
| jstrong | My xorg logs show the following glx error: can not get required symbols with a segmentation fault and a stack trace I can provide | 22:28 |
| jstrong | at this point i'm totally stumped | 22:29 |
| TJ- | Gallomimia: now lets test if the disk is partitioned using GPT: "dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=4 skip=1 | grep 'EFI PART' " replace "/dev/sda" with whatever the boot device name is | 22:29 |
| TJ- | Gallomimia: if that works (it finds 'dd' and 'grep' then if the disk is GPT you should see, amongst the output, "Binary file (standard input) matches" | 22:30 |
| Gallomimia | the partition menu has now renamed a 2GB slice at the start of my first disk as efiboot | 22:30 |
| Gallomimia | repuprosed i mean | 22:30 |
| trndr | jstrong, just to make sure, are there any artifacts in bios, or in grub? I wasted way too many on a dying video card. | 22:31 |
| TJ- | Gallomimia: 2GB? The EFI System Partition (EFI_SP) doesn't need to be any bigger than 256MB in almost all cases | 22:31 |
| Gallomimia | that's okay save a little room | 22:31 |
| Gallomimia | on a 2TB drive it's not too much | 22:32 |
| Gallomimia | especially when you have 3 of them in a raid5 | 22:32 |
| TJ- | Gallomimia: If there's an EFI-SP then the disk is partitioned using GPT | 22:32 |
| jstrong | trndr: I apologize for using the word artifact. Didn't mean literal vcard artifacts. The card is barely 6 mo old and works perfectly on Windows so there's deff no problem there. | 22:32 |
| psusi | heck, the ESP doesn't need to be bigger than like 10mb really | 22:32 |
| jstrong | trndr: It's more of a refresh problem. With the open source drivers the screen doesn't refresh. You get the sort of effect you'd see when completing solitaire on windows xp where the cards would duplicate | 22:33 |
| jstrong | trndr: e.g. typing a letter in a terminal window won't show until i type another one, so everything displayed seems to be a "step behind" | 22:33 |
| trndr | jstrong, then there is hope, can't say I have any pointers for you though :( | 22:33 |
| Gallomimia | must afk for RL | 22:33 |
| jstrong | trndr: yeah, I figure vcard drivers esp for radeon cards it's going to be hard to get an answer for that here. | 22:34 |

| trndr | jstrong, well people always complain about AMD drivers, but I personally haven't had any problems with them | 22:35 |
| jstrong | trndr: yeah. i hadn't until now either | 22:36 |
| orst3n | i ive just updated from 12.04lts to 14.04 lts remotly. seems verything worked fine.. server is restarted | 22:37 |
| jstrong | trndr: going to try nomodeset with xorg drivers. | 22:37 |
| orst3n | but i cant get into vnc/ vino anymore | 22:37 |

| orst3n | i read and tryed this : http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/remote-desktop-sharing-in-ubuntu-14-04/1640 | 22:38 |
| orst3n | but wont help it still refuses.. | 22:38 |
| trndr | jstrong, nomodeset is only during boot, if I understood right | 22:38 |
| jstrong | trndr: yeah. | 22:38 |
| jstrong | trndr: oh | 22:38 |
| trndr | jstrong, have you tryed the prop drivers? | 22:39 |
| jstrong | trndr: nope! | 22:39 |
| jstrong | trndr: wait sorry yes, absolutely | 22:39 |
| jstrong | trndr: those are what boot me into low graphics mode where nothing works | 22:39 |
| jstrong | (my brain didn't connect prop with proprietary there for some reason) | 22:40 |
| jstrong | tried a number of different fglrx versions | 22:40 |
| jstrong | trndr: nomodeset actually works but all it does is force a crappy very generic unaccelerated driver. sigh. | 22:43 |

| dw1 | orst3n: enable the service? :) | 22:50 |
| Pupeno_ | dw1: those files are being logrotated, yes. | 22:50 |
| dw1 | Pupeno_: unless youre using copytruncate logrotate option, is the job being restarted so it starts a new log file connection? | 22:50 |
| Pupeno_ | dw1: I am manually starting and re-starting the job, so, it should create a new file. | 22:51 |

| trndr | or what Beldar saied | 23:07 |
| DonkeyHotei | Beldar: is that a different iso? | 23:07 |
| Beldar | DonkeyHotei, No but it is a different download that checks the sum as well. I have had downloads that summed out fine but did not work. | 23:08 |
| Beldar | DonkeyHotei, There are a handful of variables that could be in play here, you do not say what got to checking the sum, I assume it was a install problem. | 23:10 |
| DonkeyHotei | Beldar: i am using the usb disk creator and it auto checks the sums before writing a bootloader | 23:11 |
| Beldar | DonkeyHotei, There are also handfuls of usb loaders, do you see my point? | 23:11 |
| DonkeyHotei | the ubuntu one | 23:12 |
| Beldar | DonkeyHotei, Can you layout the whole ordeal to some extent, what led you to checking the sum is one issue I'm curious about. | 23:16 |
| DonkeyHotei | it's checked automatically by the ubuntu startup disk creator | 23:17 |
| DonkeyHotei | if it doesn't match, no bootloader is written | 23:17 |
| Beldar | DonkeyHotei, Cool, it helps to have some details, there are just variables is all. If it were me I would have tried another usb loader, and checked the sum at some point. I never use that app myself. | 23:19 |

| TJ- | Gallomimia: See this... it suggests that an EFI-SP size larger than 256MB can cause the failure in some circumstances, due to the FAT-xx file-system mandated in EFI-SP: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2021534&p=12088983#post12088983 | 23:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Beldar: now trying unetbootin instead | 23:26 |
| Gallomimia | oooooh | 23:26 |
| Gallomimia | and so it must be 256MB, it needs min 256 and cant be more than 256 due to error? | 23:27 |
| Bray90820_ | How well does the microsoft multitouch mouse work with ubuntu i know that the apple one is pretty bad | 23:28 |
| TJ- | Gallomimia: It only needs about 50MB mostly, it depends on what you install there! | 23:28 |

| psusi | Gallomimia, the EFI spec says it should be 100mb, but on a disk using 4kb sectors, that uses fat16 instead of fat32, and apparently there are at least one or two broken systems out there that don't recognize fat16, even though the efi specs say they should | 23:36 |
| psusi | so they raised the size in the debian-installer recently to 256m to make sure it is fat32 even with a 4k sector drive | 23:36 |
| psusi | personally I think that was a bit of a knee jerk reaction but... | 23:37 |
