| wheresmypaaants | Hey, anyone know how to make ubuntu treat ALL jar files as executable, instead of me having to go in and mark it as executable every time? | 00:02 |
| raggg | thanks dw1 | 00:03 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: files aren't executable unless the eXecute bit is set for the user, group, or others | 00:03 |

| wheresmypaaants | I don't want to have to do it individually, though | 00:05 |
| wheresmypaaants | I want Ubuntu to treat ALL jar files executable | 00:05 |
| bobo69 | wheresmypaaants: do you want ot be able to launch the jar files from the command line or by double clicking the file? | 00:06 |
| Arbition | wheresmypaaants: Are they all +x ? | 00:06 |
| wheresmypaaants | double clicking | 00:06 |
| Guest44890 | hi | 00:06 |
| wheresmypaaants | when i download, i want to instantly be able to double click and execute | 00:06 |
| Arbition | no can do | 00:06 |
| bobo69 | wheresmypaaants: then thats easy, right click the jar file and go to properties then set as default from the open with tab | 00:06 |
| jq- | Hi, I made a new user account and deleted the original and now when I try to sudo it tells me I'm not in the sudoers file, how can I fix this? | 00:07 |
| scott_ | Hi there. I'm having a problem with PlayonLinux. Could someone tell me if there's an IRC channel? | 00:07 |
| Arbition | When you download, they are by default, set to not have the +x flag | 00:07 |
| Arbition | that is a security feature | 00:07 |
| wheresmypaaants | Can i disable this security feature? | 00:07 |

| dw1 | scott_: /msg alis list *playonlinux* | 00:07 |
| bobo69 | Arbition: it sounds to me like he wants to be able to open the file from the gui | 00:07 |
| bobo69 | Arbition: no need to mess with +x flag in that case. Its just going to open the apporate .desktop file | 00:08 |
| Arbition | I thought most file managers already executed .jar files in this manner | 00:08 |
| bobo69 | Arbition: I'd bet that the default assocation to .jar files in archive manager. it is for me | 00:09 |
| scott_ | sorry, what network is it under? | 00:09 |
| Arbition | could be | 00:09 |

| TheLegace | hi can someone help me get monodevelop working in ubuntu 12.04 | 00:09 |
| Arbition | Once again I suspect that is because they don't have +x set | 00:09 |
| Ben64 | jq-: restart, go to the recovery mode, and add your new user to the sudo group | 00:10 |
| Arbition | but you know, if someone wants to willingly decrease their security for the sake of a little convenience, thats up to them I guess | 00:10 |

| Bray90820_ | How well does the microsoft multitouch mouse work with ubuntu i know that the apple one is pretty bad | 00:23 |
| Gallomimia | every time i do something new with the partition table the server makes me reinstall | 00:25 |
| holstein | Bray90820_: nothing about linux or ubuntu is preventing microsoft or apple from providing support for either of those | 00:25 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: i think its more like, everytime you mess with the partition table, the media has a new partition table, and forgets your data is there | 00:26 |
| slowkiller | lol | 00:26 |
| badbz | yeah, generally you want to figure out your partition scheme once and stick with it. | 00:27 |
| badbz | screweing with partitions is a very easy way to lose data quickly | 00:27 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Lost_Partition might help.. but, you should have backups, and expect issues as stated above | 00:28 |
| badbz | what is it that you are trying to acomplish? | 00:28 |
| Gallomimia | its not crucial data. just the last install | 00:28 |
| slowkiller | Gallominia I've been there | 00:28 |
| Gallomimia | getting annoying to try installing every time | 00:28 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: just stop messing with the partition table | 00:30 |
| Gallomimia | no, i can't get the damn thing to boot | 00:30 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: i would address that issue idependently from the creation or deletion of partition tables | 00:30 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: you can test the media.. could be malfunctioning | 00:30 |
| badbz | so, after you install and when the system reboots and starts for the first time post install it won’t boot? | 00:31 |
| Gallomimia | it doesn't boot for the first time | 00:32 |
| badbz | do you see the grub loading screen at all? | 00:32 |
| Gallomimia | it never succeeds in installing grub | 00:33 |
| badbz | what error does it give? | 00:33 |
| Gallomimia | failed to install grub this error is fatal | 00:33 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: i would expect to,a nd have seen that error on failing hard drives | 00:34 |
| en16m4666 | can you boot into the os at all? | 00:34 |
| Gallomimia | i had it working on a single drive yes | 00:34 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: can you boot the live CD without issue? | 00:34 |
| Gallomimia | another os, with a previous video card. um. it was ubuntu 13.10 | 00:34 |
| Gallomimia | the livecd seems to work | 00:35 |
| Gallomimia | im using a server installer | 00:35 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: try the live CD for ubuntu 14.04, and let me know if it works for *certain* | 00:35 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: oh.. i see.. i still think the live CD would be a good test. otherwise, test the hard drives.. you can use gsmartcontrol from the live CD im suggesting | 00:35 |
| badbz | could always boot the live cd and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 00:35 |
| badbz | see if that works. | 00:35 |
| Gallomimia | that would be a good idea | 00:36 |
| en16m4666 | sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 00:36 |
| en16m4666 | then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:36 |
| Gallomimia | grub install fails to run on this installer, and so does sudo | 00:37 |
| en16m4666 | sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:37 |
| en16m4666 | ooo... | 00:37 |
| Gallomimia | yep. it's pretty fun | 00:37 |

| Gallomimia | i'll try flashing a different usb with the live cd and see | 00:37 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: could be a bad iso, or installation media as well | 00:37 |
| svm_invictvs | These instructions will not create a USB stick that's bootable from a system not OSX, correct? | 00:37 |
| svm_invictvs | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 00:38 |
| badbz | could check the drive with smartmontools as well. | 00:38 |
| holstein | svm_invictvs: the operating system is really not the issue.. nothing about osx is going to prevent anything from booting.. but, the mac hardware itself may prevent, or not facilitate USB booting.. they (apple) never promised you that funcitonality | 00:39 |
| holstein | svm_invictvs: i was able to boot a CD and use plop.. but that was older mac hardware.. an older white macbook | 00:39 |
| newhoa | Hey, would anyone using Ubuntu 14.04, a Radeon 7xxx card, and the open source Radeon drivers be able to help me out with a problem? I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to nail down a bug in MComix or Glamor, but need someone else to try it out. | 00:39 |
| Gallomimia | newhoa: i just ditched my radeon 7970 for an nvidia card | 00:40 |
| Gallomimia | cause lets face it. that card's drivers suck | 00:40 |
| Guest44890 | hi can i copy my sql tables from a remote machine to my local machine? | 00:41 |
| Guest44890 | along with data? | 00:41 |
| wols | Guest44890: if it's the same mysql version, yes | 00:41 |
| Guest44890 | let me check | 00:42 |
| wols | newhoa: always ask your real question or state your real problem | 00:42 |
| newhoa | Gallomimia: Actually, I'm really excited since trying the latest drivers and kernel... I'm playing all the Steam games as 60fps, which is better than I ever did with either the OSS driver or official AMD driver. It's just this one program that is doing a weird glitchy thing. | 00:42 |
| === pitelpan_ is now known as pitelpan | ||
| newhoa | wols: I usually do, but in this case I need to send someone a link to the file I'm having trouble with and I won't have the bandwidth to do that in the room. | 00:43 |
| Gallomimia | my card is some strange factory overclocked thing and most drivers dont work 100% with it | 00:43 |
| wols | so you buy bad hardware and blame the drivers? tho of course your statement itself is totally ludicrous | 00:44 |
| Guest44890 | @wols i m trying to copy from 5.5.37 to 5.5.27 | 00:44 |
| Guest44890 | will it be okay? | 00:45 |
| wols | Guest44890: you can only try,probably it will. or you can do a normal backup of your DB with mysql itself and restore it | 00:45 |
| newhoa | But in case anyone else can test it out: Ubuntu 14.04, Radeon 7xxx (I'm using 7770), open source Radeon driver. Try opening a GIF with MComix and have MComix set to single page mode and Fit to width or Fit to size mode - any mode that requires single page vertical scrolling. Scroll down and see if there are any missing portions of the image. Sometimes it won't render beyond the initial load (so the bottom half is missing entirely), or it lea | 00:46 |
| daftykins | or it lea...? your message was too long and got chopped | 00:47 |
| daftykins | however what is this 'mcomix' ? what makes it become an ubuntu problem? | 00:47 |
| newhoa | or it leaves missing lines. | 00:48 |
| holstein | newhoa: i would try the proprietary driver for an alternative | 00:48 |
| Guest44890 | is there a theme for ubuntu like mac to get apps floating above or below in panels? | 00:49 |
| === Sway is now known as Sway|away | ||
| Guest44890 | instead of a side bar | 00:50 |
| twaxler | might be little bit of dumb question cause ive google searched up and down but is there any program equivalent to manycam/youcam that will run? | 00:50 |
| newhoa | MComix is an image viewer, but best for comic archives. I'm having problems with any GIF images. | 00:50 |
| newhoa | I'm trying to verify that it's an Ubuntu problem. I didn't have this problem before the 14.04 upgrade, and no one else I've asked with another OS has had this problem. | 00:50 |
| newhoa | I've narrowed it down to glamor, but I'm looking for others to verify. If it is, it's specifically a bug Ubuntus glamor package. | 00:51 |
| clypso | Hey ok so im back. I see my wifi connections. But the problem now is when i type in my wifi password it just accepts it and then nothing else. I try firefox and no go. i tried this several times with a reboot and wifi hardswitch reboot. | 00:51 |
| holstein | newhoa: well, i think it would be more like a driver problem | 00:52 |
| newhoa | holstein: I've tried upgrading the radeon driver and the problem doesn't change, changing the glamor packages is the only thing that has changes the bug (and it gets worse with the latest glamor package). I don't totally understand the relationship between the radeon driver and glamor though. | 00:55 |
| raggg | i have a perfectly working battery indicator in unity and in gnome fallback, but not in gnome-fallback with i3wm, any ideas? | 00:56 |
| holstein | newhoa: i didnt suggest upgrading anything.. you state you are using the open drive. try the proprietary one | 00:56 |
| newhoa | holstein: Does the proprietary driver use glamor? I'm trying to get to the root of the bug so I can report it. | 00:57 |
| rww | don't think it does | 00:58 |
| holstein | newhoa: the driver will be the issue, friend | 00:58 |
| trism | newhoa: couldn't reproduce it on any of my systems here, although I suppose it might depend on the test image, didn't have any gifs that large so had to make one | 01:00 |
| svm_invictvs | holstein: The instructions I linked say they're OSX only and I need to use unetboonin | 01:02 |
| newhoa | holstein: Would you mind explaining why? I'm just trying to understand, but changing to any other version of the driver has no effect, changing glamor does. So why would the problem be the driver? | 01:02 |
| holstein | svm_invictvs: the issue will be, the mac booting usb in any way | 01:02 |
| newhoa | trism: Thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it. I just tried making a very long gif myself in gimp, all white, and the issue still happens for me. Are you using 14.04, Radeon 7xxx, and open source drivers? | 01:03 |
| holstein | newhoa: the hardware is not open.. the open driver is doing what it can.. the only driver the manufacturer has anything to do with is the proprietary one | 01:03 |
| Gallomimia | i got the system to boot with my crazy install after much uefi boot sector problems but not its just a blackscreen | 01:03 |

| holstein | !nomodeset | 01:03 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:03 |
| svm_invictvs | holstein: I was asking for a way to make a USB bootable disk *on* a Mac *for* a PC | 01:04 |
| holstein | Gallomimia: you can try nomodeset | 01:04 |
| Gallomimia | oh yes | 01:04 |
| holstein | svm_invictvs: i just use the application.. you can dd copy the iso's from a mac | 01:04 |

| k1l_ | svm_invictvs: why fails? | 01:04 |
| svm_invictvs | k1l_: Doesn't say | 01:05 |
| ianorlin | svm_invictvs: does the box boot other usb drives? | 01:05 |
| k1l_ | svm_invictvs: check the md5sum before dd/burning | 01:05 |
| k1l_ | svm_invictvs: and make sure you dd onto sdb and not sdb1 | 01:05 |
| svm_invictvs | ianorlin: It sees the usb device in the boot menu, spits out an error very quickly then boots its normal OS | 01:05 |
| svm_invictvs | k1l_: Yeah... | 01:05 |
| svm_invictvs | Let me try this on my linux box at home. | 01:05 |
| holstein | svm_invictvs: could be a bad sum.. bad stick.. or the machine cant boot usb.. try the stick on another machine as well | 01:05 |
| Gallomimia | i got the grub screen | 01:06 |
| clypso | Hey so whenever i connect to my wifi it asks for my wifi password. I enter it and thats it. Nothing else happens. Internet still wont work. Tried reboot and hardswitch reboot. This is a fresh install.. Lubuntu | 01:06 |
| k1l_ | svm_invictvs: if you can boot the ubuntu on another machine you know the stick/iso is fine | 01:06 |
| svm_invictvs | I'll give that a shot | 01:06 |
| svm_invictvs | Yeah | 01:06 |
| holstein | clypso: i would just hardwire, and apply all upgrades.. then, i would try removing any cached wifi password or connection attempts | 01:06 |
| clypso | i hardwired. I applied all upgrades. Im not sure how to remove any cached wifi password or connection attempts though. Could u explain ? | 01:07 |
| holstein | clypso: in the menu, where the wifi access points are listed. i just delete them, and reconnect | 01:08 |
| clypso | how can you delete them? It shows a list of wifi connection points but i cant even right click or anything. | 01:09 |
| TreSyr | go to settings to do that | 01:09 |
| holstein | clypso: i dont have unity running here, but, i just click around til i see how to remove them.. dont sweat it, though.. this is *not* a fix.. just a troubleshooting step.. did wifi work from the live CD? | 01:10 |
| clypso | yeah it worked when i had ubuntu on here | 01:10 |
| clypso | i now i have lubuntu | 01:10 |
| holstein | clypso: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 01:10 |
| clypso | true lol | 01:10 |
| holstein | clypso: is the nm-applet running? | 01:10 |
| clypso | ? | 01:10 |
| holstein | clypso: do you see a little icon down by the time that you can click on that shows connection information? | 01:11 |
| trism | newhoa: yes one of the systems is radeon, different card though, Radeon HD 5450 | 01:11 |
| clypso | yeah | 01:11 |
| clypso | i got 2 of them for the networks | 01:11 |
| TreSyr | trism ?... | 01:11 |
| clypso | network status monitor and manage networks | 01:12 |
| trism | TreSyr: yes? | 01:12 |
| TreSyr | "newhoa" is directed to whom ? | 01:12 |
| newhoa | trism: Okay, thanks! | 01:13 |
| TreSyr | Yep, id kickban them both | 01:13 |
| TreSyr | trism, newhoa | 01:13 |
| clypso | Yup im ready when you are. What u want me to do next | 01:13 |

| clypso | Holstein ? | 01:17 |
| holstein | clypso: whats up? | 01:17 |
| clypso | i thought u were mid explaining something | 01:17 |
| clypso | bottom right i see those icons. The one that shows for the wifi connects. But only options i get is repair or disable | 01:17 |
| holstein | clypso: nope.. its an open channel.. i say, install unity if you understand how to connect to wifi better with it | 01:17 |
| daftykins | what a hilarious misunderstanding. carry on! | 01:17 |
| clypso | unity ? | 01:17 |
| holstein | clypso: you should remove your connection, and try again | 01:17 |
| Viking667 | hullo all... I've got a gnome-shell question. Where does gnome-shell get its initial information from when a user logs in, about what the supported monitors are, what the requested keymap is? | 01:17 |
| clypso | kinda baby step me on this. im very green to linux | 01:18 |
| holstein | clypso: you stated "wifi worked fine with ubuntu, now im running lubuntu" | 01:18 |
| clypso | i just need to use this os for now. | 01:18 |
| lorele | Yay Lubuntu. | 01:18 |
| clypso | damnit. this sucks | 01:18 |

| holstein | clypso: *if* that was ubuntu 14.04, and you are using lubuntu 14.04, then, there is nothing technical that should be preventing your connection | 01:18 |

| holstein | clypso: im saying, if you understand how to use unity, just install it via a wired connection and use it | 01:19 |
| ianorlin | clypso you had the broadcom 4321 right did you do additional drivers | 01:19 |

I boot back in Win8 to remove the failed install partition that Ubuntu created and notice something weird (I think?) Here is how it's organized: http://i.imgur.com/yuHfyqV.jpg .. seems like one partition does everything? what should I do to install Ubuntu on that? | 02:12 |
| Wferr | daftykins: took the risk because i did a backup right before, purged udev then installed it over kvm and it works :D | 02:14 |

| reaper | ok i have a general question that im sure is a no brainer but i cant figure out... i went through the package manager and installed java 7 however i still need jre 1.5.0 at least and its not showing that java in working at java.com | 03:09 |
| daftykins | it seems unwise to desire such an outdated java | 03:10 |
| rww | reaper: install icedtea-plugin or whatever it's called | 03:10 |
| reaper | rww do i just do that through firefox or the package manager? | 03:11 |
| rww | the package manager | 03:11 |
| rww | and then close firefox and re-open | 03:12 |
| rww | installing the Java 7 JRE just installs the Java runtime, not the browser plugin. Icedtea is the browser plugin for OpenJDK | 03:12 |
| reaper | rww i am doing that now | 03:14 |
| === johndropper_ is now known as johndropper | ||
| reaper | rww the script program that i am running says that it needs 1.5.0 how can i get that ? this is on a box just for teamspeak so outdated to me does not matter | 03:18 |
| rww | 1.5.0 as opposed to an up to date version? | 03:19 |
| reaper | rww every time that i start it, it states needs 1.5.0 to run | 03:19 |
| reaper | and then closes | 03:20 |
| * rww shrugs | 03:20 | |
| rww | i'd contact the vendor. out of date Java is... a problem | 03:20 |
| reaper | out of date is common on the teamspeak plugins | 03:20 |
| reaper | its saying it needs java runtime environment 1.5.0 bleh | 03:22 |
| wjb | Does anyone have experience using ipset with iptables? Inexplicably, after creating an ipset and logging it to verify, it's gone by the time iptables needs it | 03:28 |
| reaper | rww dumb question but is the jdk*.bin the one that contains the Jre stuff? | 03:31 |
| rww | reaper: sounds like you're using out-of-repository Java. I don't support that, sorry :( | 03:32 |
| rww | someone else might know | 03:32 |
| reaper | ya thats about all i could come up with atm on how to track down an older version and make the reversion of java | 03:32 |
| fldeepin | hi | 03:33 |
| wjb | reaper: the jdk is the entire software development kit; it includes the jre binaries, but is overkill if you just need the runtime | 03:35 |
| reaper | wjb any ideas how to get just the 1.5.0 jre? | 03:35 |
| Guest278 | reaper: what's the real problem? why the jdk 7 is not good for you? | 03:37 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| reaper | i am running and deploying a teamspeak shell box just for the server, the bot script that i use required 1.5.0 | 03:38 |
| reaper | it will not accept anything else | 03:38 |
| wjb | do you have the source of the script? | 03:38 |
| wjb | it's probably somewhat trivial to update it for java7 or java8 | 03:38 |
| reaper | i am unsure if i have the source for it or not honestly | 03:39 |
| Guest278 | right, java is mostly backwards compatible | 03:39 |
| reaper | i have the Jar container | 03:39 |
| Guest278 | a jar is a renamed zip | 03:39 |
| reaper | and i believe all the config files for it | 03:39 |
| reaper | well i went to java.com and it verified that i do indeed have current | 03:40 |
| reaper | however its still not wanting to work | 03:40 |
| wjb | sometimes, a Jar may include the source as well as binaries | 03:40 |
| wjb | extract the contents of the jar and take a look | 03:40 |
| wjb | also, here's your jre5 link: | 03:41 |
| wjb | http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html#jre-1.5.0_22-oth-JPR | 03:41 |
| reaper | what would the source look like? | 03:42 |
| wjb | Obviously, it's not a great idea to run an outdated version of java on any public-facing machine, so if it were my project, i would strongly suggest not reverting your java installation | 03:42 |
| wjb | the source would end in a .java extension | 03:42 |
| reaper | ok still looking | 03:42 |
| reaper | nah all class files in the folders and one manifest.mf | 03:44 |
| wjb | the class files are compiled bytecode for the jvm | 03:44 |
| Guest278 | you could still decompile the class files... or use an open source bot | 03:44 |
| wjb | ^ these are probably both better solutions than installing jre5 | 03:45 |
| reaper | how would i go about doing that | 03:45 |
| reaper | the bot im using was originally setup for linux like 4 years ago lol | 03:46 |
| Guest278 | for the second option, you google "teamspeak open source bot" | 03:46 |
| reaper | the name that i am using of the bot is JTS3ServerMod.jar | 03:46 |
| Guest278 | for the first one, you feed the .class files to a decompiler (examples http://askubuntu.com/questions/272189/open-source-free-java-decompiler ) | 03:47 |
| reaper | i am not too worried about the systm | 03:47 |
| reaper | as its running off a flash drive | 03:47 |
| reaper | no hardware ie harddrive to interface with | 03:48 |
| Guest278 | then update, then javac the code | 03:48 |
| newshound | /set weechat.bar.nicklist.position right | 03:50 |
| Guest278 | or even better, mail the author of the bot, so s/he updates it upstream | 03:50 |

| MrBender91 | Hi, I'm trying to image a drive using dd. If the drive is 120GB but the last partition is only at the 45GB mark why can't I just image the first 45GB of the drive? | 04:23 |
| Beldar | MrBender91, I would clone it, dd can be dangerous | 04:26 |
| Beldar | if you clone you have a backup | 04:27 |
| MrBender91 | Beldar: Using Clonezilla? That program has never made sense to me. | 04:27 |
| Beldar | MrBender91, I use clonezilla, it is not hard at all, I can see if you not used to it that it could be. | 04:28 |
| Beldar | you're | 04:28 |
| rww | I'd go with Clonezilla too, but I don't understand the original question, it seems like it should be doable. | 04:29 |
| Guest278 | you can also clone with gparted. fallocate -l 45G imagefile.img ; pkexec gparted /dev/sdX imagefile.img ; copy-paste the partition ; click Apply. | 04:30 |
| Beldar | MrBender91, Here is a picture set, I would be more than happy to get you going if needed. http://clonezilla.org/screenshots/?in_path=/00_Clonezilla | 04:31 |
| Guest278 | for dd, you set the parameters bs and count such that bs*count >= 45GiB (be careful of the GB/GiB) and that bs bytes are copied in memory at each round. | 04:32 |
| Beldar | I have used a copy and paste with gparted that works fine. | 04:32 |
| MrBender91 | Beldar: I'm going to try the gparted route since I'm already familiar with it... | 04:34 |
| MrBender91 | is fallocate necessary? | 04:34 |
| Guest278 | no, but there is no reason not to use it on ext4, btrfs, xfs | 04:34 |
| Guest278 | it's just to help keep fragmentation low while writing to the image, useful if youìre writing something else to the disk in the process | 04:35 |

| hoho | Create a video devices node - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Webcam-HOWTO/dev-intro.html | 04:51 |
| MrBender91 | I've sysprepped a Win7 install to have as a backup | 04:51 |
| Guest278 | Why do you want to create it by hand? | 04:52 |
| Guest278 | the devices are supposed to be detected automatically | 04:52 |
| hoho | guest278: I don't have one, and I want to make Pidgin or webrtc think that it exists. | 04:53 |
| Guest278 | ok, Any reason you're not using WebCamStudio, v4l2loopback, or other solutions that can be quickly found on google? | 04:54 |
| hoho | guest278: this seemd to be a solution to the following problem: audio on webrtc sites (like talky.io and tawk.com) only seem to work with firefox when one has a webcam. So I thought if I could create a virtual one... | 04:55 |

| hoho | guest278: I installed webcamstudio, but couldn't get it to work... | 04:55 |

| Viking667 | isn't there a gstreamer loopback module too? | 04:56 |
| hoho | viking667: like a plugin that woudl permit a virtual webcam? | 04:57 |
| Viking667 | possibly. | 05:03 |
| Viking667 | might be a static picture, for example. | 05:03 |

| reaper | OMG nvm i got it i am stupid | 05:14 |
| reaper | i needed a space at the end for the period | 05:14 |
| reaper | 30min of pissing with that for a stupid syntax | 05:14 |
| Beldar | RWOverdijk, sudo yes | 05:15 |
| RWOverdijk | Beldar, What do you mean? | 05:15 |
| Ben64 | reaper: its not a period. in order to make a symbolic link you need the source and the target "." is the directory you're in | 05:16 |
| Beldar | RWOverdijk, You need a sudo with that command, do you have X | 05:16 |
| RWOverdijk | Beldar, No I don't need sudo for do-release-upgrade, it'll ask me for my password later on. | 05:16 |
| Ben64 | yes, you do need sudo for it | 05:16 |
| RWOverdijk | But I found it. It's my prompt setting | 05:17 |
| RWOverdijk | Ben64, Perhaps, but you don't need sudo in front of the command. | 05:17 |
| Ben64 | you do | 05:17 |
| RWOverdijk | Ben64, Don't argue with me I just upgraded 23 servers. | 05:17 |
| RWOverdijk | Ben64, You're wrong. :) | 05:17 |
| Ben64 | nope, need sudo | 05:17 |
| RWOverdijk | lol | 05:17 |
| Beldar | +1 for Ben64 lol | 05:17 |
| RWOverdijk | Then you're both wrong | 05:17 |
| Ben64 | !do-release-upgrade | 05:18 |
| Ben64 | bah | 05:18 |
| RWOverdijk | You don't need sudo in front of the command. It'll do it later on and ask for your password. | 05:18 |
| Beldar | RWOverdijk, Hmmm, in the words of eddy murphy as buckwheat "otay" ;) | 05:18 |
| RWOverdijk | I'm not lying. 23 servers agree with me. | 05:18 |
| ianorlin | unless you ssh in as root | 05:18 |
| RWOverdijk | I didn't. | 05:18 |
| RWOverdijk | I just run do-release-upgrade, and it runs. | 05:19 |
| reaper | ben64 as soon as i spaced the period at the end of the line of code it worked and turned blue/green | 05:19 |
| RWOverdijk | Then it asks for my password at some point. | 05:19 |
| Ben64 | reaper: yeah but its not "a period" -- it represents the directory you're in. | 05:19 |
| reaper | and crap firefox still isnt seeing the stupid thing | 05:20 |
| RWOverdijk | Beldar, Ben64, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/5fx2el5lql1lidy/wvwh9en_.png | 05:20 |
| RWOverdijk | Otay indeed. It was just my prompt setting. :p | 05:20 |
| Ben64 | reaper: what are you trying to do | 05:21 |
| Beldar | RWOverdijk, just a sk for a password does not mean that is correct, but I'm not here to argue, honestly I don't really care, other than in bricking your setup. | 05:21 |
| Beldar | asking | 05:21 |

| GJPMiningco | hey is there a way to enable the root account for login on ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | reaper: sounds like a bad idea | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | !root | GJPMiningco | 05:22 |
| ubottu | GJPMiningco: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:22 |
| MrBender22 | GJPMiningco: yeah sudo su - | 05:22 |
| reaper | ben64 not for a plain shell thats just for teamspeak and has like 1gb of room lol | 05:22 |
| MrBender22 | GJPMiningco: then passwd | 05:22 |
| RWOverdijk | Beldar, Look, I don't care either. I'm just telling you it does work, and that you're wrong. Just accept it and be happy that you now know one more thing. | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | sudo su is bad practice, don't do that | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | you should not be setting a root password either | 05:23 |
| Beldar | RWOverdijk, lol, yeah right dumkoff. ;) | 05:23 |
| RWOverdijk | Sure, I'm the domkop. | 05:23 |
| Beldar | I have forgotten more than you will ever know | 05:23 |
| MrBender22 | GJPMiningco: since root now has a known password you can login directly as root | 05:23 |
| reaper | ben64 the shell needs to only run 3 things really lol teamspeak, the admin bot and remote connect for me | 05:23 |
| GJPMiningco | k | 05:23 |
| RWOverdijk | haha | 05:24 |
| RWOverdijk | I love nerds :p | 05:24 |
| Ben64 | GJPMiningco: i'd advise against that, having sudo is for security, you'd never need to login as root | 05:24 |
| MrBender22 | I don't remember if Ubuntu allows ssh logins from root but ya. Your trigger finger is your safety in this case. | 05:25 |
| reaper | Ben64 would i also possibly have to create a link in the firefox paths too? | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | MrBender22: in the future please don't suggest that people set a root password | 05:27 |
| Guest278 | I agree, that's pointless | 05:29 |
| Guest278 | If you want to do many commands as root, just sudo su | 05:30 |
| Ben64 | no. that is wrong | 05:30 |
| MrBender22 | Guest278: You see what you've done?! | 05:30 |
| Ben64 | "sudo -i" if you absolutely need a root shell, which is very rare | 05:31 |
| MrBender22 | Ben64: you were helping me with the clonezilla business earlier right? | 05:31 |
| Ben64 | earlier today? doubtful | 05:32 |
| Sachiru | So, anywoone with ZFS on Ubuntu? | 05:32 |
| Ben64 | Sachiru: ask your real question and find out | 05:33 |
| Guest278 | Ben64: why sudo -i rather than sudo su, what's the difference? | 05:33 |
| Sachiru | I already did | 05:33 |
| Sachiru | Ages ago | 05:33 |
| Sachiru | <Sachiru> Anyone use ZFS on ubuntu for production and manage to get it run stable? | 05:33 |
| Sachiru | <Sachiru> How much RAM does your machine have? | 05:33 |
| Ben64 | Guest278: sets the environment properly. doing it other ways can cause you to be unable to login, among other problems | 05:34 |
| Guest278 | oh, thanks | 05:34 |
| hoho | viking667: So I've been folling the instuctions at http://askubuntu.com/questions/139239/fake-a-webcam-using-a-video-loopback-device | 05:34 |

| Sachiru | Not having a problem per se, planning on deploying Ubuntu server with two/three VMs on it, running ZFS as storage for VM disks | 05:35 |

| MrBender22 | Guest278: sudo su - is sudo running su. the - sets env equal to a login | 05:39 |
| MrBender22 | Guest278: where as sudo -i is sudo running the users login shell directly as if they had logged in. I really don't think there's a functional difference | 05:40 |

| DreamPCs | Hey guys, hopefully this is a simple problem. | 05:57 |
| DreamPCs | I need to know how to set up printer sharing in ubuntu 12.04 via the terminal | 05:58 |
| DreamPCs | I'm using xbmcbuntu for a htpc setup and I would like to install a printer/fax machine there to network it. | 05:58 |
| DreamPCs | The printer works by default with Ubuntu (just tried it on a stand alone installation) but I don't know how to set up sharing from the terminal (via ssh) | 05:58 |
| DreamPCs | Any ideas? | 05:59 |
| MrBender22 | DreamPCs: As in a Samba setup for Windows boxes? | 05:59 |
| DreamPCs | Yes | 05:59 |
| DreamPCs | Both Windows and Linux clients | 05:59 |
| DreamPCs | samba is already set up on the PC and all devices can see and interact with one another. | 05:59 |
| MrBender22 | I can't say for a fax machine per se but sharing a printer is straightforward | 06:00 |
| DreamPCs | Yeah the fax would be stand alone. That's why I need it near the HTPC because that's where my phone line is. The hardware alone with handle the fax capabilities. | 06:01 |
| DreamPCs | So all I really need is the printer setup. | 06:01 |
| MrBender22 | What is a htpc? As in a HA setup? | 06:01 |
| DreamPCs | home theatre PC - It's a dell desktop sitting behind my television running xbmcbuntu | 06:02 |
| DreamPCs | So basically ubuntu 12.04 that autoboots XBMC (a media center front end) | 06:02 |
| MrBender22 | gotchya ha good | 06:02 |
| MrBender22 | DreamPCs: your windows boxes are XP era or 7? | 06:03 |
| DreamPCs | One PC is running 7 and the other 8 | 06:04 |
| DreamPCs | homegroups have been disabled on both | 06:04 |
| MrBender22 | DreamPCs: you'll need a [print$] share on your htpc with the printer drivers for both 7 and 8 in there. Something like https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server will give you most of what you need | 06:07 |
| DreamPCs | Ok, I'm checking it out now. | 06:09 |
| DreamPCs | Thank you. | 06:09 |
| MrBender22 | DreamPCs: When you are doing this build for XP since it's simpler and much more stable in samba. 7 and 8 will understand it fine. | 06:13 |
| DreamPCs | I'm sorry I don't understand what you're saying. | 06:14 |

| needed543 | wontoner_io: did you read what i said? | 09:56 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: It really depends on the design you choose. You could put playlists all in one table, or create a new table for each playlist.. Either is valid. | 09:56 |
| needed543 | wontoner_io: either is valid | 09:56 |

| wontoner_io | needed543: Yes just make sure to configure your database to allow that. You shouldn't have a problem with the 'maximum tables' limit | 09:58 |
| needed543 | wontoner_io: how do i keep track of all the playlists, do i have another table which has each playlist/table | 09:58 |
| wontoner_io | needed543 | 09:58 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: That is a broad question. There are many ways to handle the task | 09:58 |
| needed543 | im just new lol | 09:58 |
| needed543 | dont know how to start this project | 09:58 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: You might consider sketching out several different approaches, and then do a review to see which works best | 09:59 |
| needed543 | because it starts with storing the playlists | 09:59 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: I would recommend going through a tutorial or two, following the author's instructions.. this way you have fresh in your head the method for using the database | 09:59 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: Then once you are sure all the connections work, you can begin to construct your more complicated table scheme | 09:59 |
| needed543 | wontoner_io: iv been thinking of one way which is there is a table with "song name', and "playlist" collumns, the name is name and the playlist collumn is putting id of playlist,,, so you could query "Select * where playlist= | 10:00 |
| wontoner_io | needed543: Perhaps make a prototype which handles 100 users with 1 playlist each | 10:00 |
| needed543 | wontoner_io: do you think that is a good route, | 10:01 |
| needed543 | it would essentially create a HUGE database. | 10:01 |

| andybrine | i just have no idea why it is using soo much memory | 11:13 |
| andybrine | thanks everyone | 11:13 |
| joe_dm | k1l: I dunno what it even is, he asked if he could disable it on startup so I'm assuming he knows what he is doing. noted that its a bad idea. | 11:13 |

| rigo_ | hi. i had an xubuntu installed on my lenovo s205, i had to try out the windows 8.1 i didnt liked it. so i decided to get back to xubuntu. now after installing it the same way as before (from stick, next-next-finish) it does not boot up. as there were nothing on the hdd | 11:29 |
| rigo_ | however there is. so if i start live from stick i can see the sda1-2-3 as efi, filesystem and swap area. | 11:29 |
| andybrine | I wondering if anyone can help, I have copied the errors that im receiving when I reset unity as Im not sure what I can do to fix it:http://pastebin.com/wHTZcdKB | 11:30 |

| arlekin | hi all, anyone here who could give me an opinion about ubuntu phone ? | 11:31 |
| bazhang | !touch | arlekin | 11:32 |
| ubottu | arlekin: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 11:32 |
| k1l | andybrine: its a video driver issue | 11:33 |
| arlekin | ubottu: i read about it on ubuntu pgae and was hping to get some opinions, i'll try #ubuntu-touch, thanks :) | 11:33 |
| ubottu | arlekin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:33 |
| k1l | andybrine: what video card is this and what driver (from where is that driver) is installed? | 11:33 |
| arlekin | oh wel... | 11:33 |
| andybrine | k1l ahh ok | 11:33 |
| andybrine | It was working before the update | 11:33 |
| k1l | andybrine: see : compiz (core) - Info: Unity is not supported by your hardware. Enabling software rendering instead (slow). | 11:33 |
| k1l | andybrine: see my questions^ | 11:34 |
| andybrine | let me check | 11:34 |
| andybrine | I have an Intel Sandybridge graphic card | 11:36 |
| ogghi | hi guys, is there an easy way to add two scripts to the live (xfce) iso and launch them at boot? i would like to have a burn-in test automatically started to do hardware testing... | 11:36 |
| andybrine | there is nothing wrong with my hardware, I have been using this laptop for a long time now. I have had no problems before | 11:38 |
| k1l | andybrine: then see the dmesg and syslog to get to know what is going wrong there. does the guest-account work properly? | 11:39 |
| Guest42494 | So, I was on here earlier, and had to log off and reset since update manager requested it. Here's my issue: I'm running 12.04 and my WiFi keeps dropping periodically. I searched around, and the two immediate solutions posted - namely to set Network Manager to ignore IPv6, as well as input the MAC Address of the router in the BSSID - don't work for me. Now hardwired to the router. Details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7528451/ Any ide | 11:39 |
| andybrine | I need to check my guest account | 11:40 |
| Guest42494 | Security mode on Laptop - WPA and WPA2 Personal, Mode on router: WPA2-PSK | 11:41 |
| andybrine | it was no doubt a problem with the update | 11:41 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: I fixed my problem btw :) | 11:42 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest93458 | ||
| Guest42494 | Timvde - Cool. What's the version of the driver you're using? | 11:42 |
| === ted is now known as tedg | ||
| Timvde | Guest42494: Eh, good question. Let's see where I can find that information :x | 11:43 |
| === soee_ is now known as soee | ||
| Timvde | Guest42494: The only version information I can find just lists the kernel version | 11:47 |
| Timvde | driverversion=3.13.0-24-generic | 11:47 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde : lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net - should give you the "Kernel driver in use" | 11:48 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: Kernel driver in use: ath9k | 11:49 |
| Timvde | That's all. | 11:49 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: But I've been using this laptop since 12.10 without any wifi problems up until now, which I fixed. You might consider an upgrade to 14.04? | 11:49 |
| andybrine | k1l thanks for your help | 11:50 |
| andybrine | I reset unity and icons, run another update and everything is working again | 11:51 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde - I guess yeah.. this isn't even my laptop. Windows was bust on this one, so I'd made it usable with a quick LiveUSB installation of Precise (12.04). But the owner of the laptop wants Windows back lol.. Thanks for the suggestion | 11:51 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde - out of interest, what did you need to do to fix it? | 11:51 |
| Guest42494 | (The wifi power save i.e.) | 11:52 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: Creating /etc/modprobe.d/ath9kps.conf with contents "options ath9k ps_enable=1" | 11:52 |
| Timvde | Because who would want powersave mode out of the box? Herp derp. | 11:52 |
| rpshahi | I want dual boot installation Windows & and Ubuntu... | 11:53 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde - Aah.. cool. Let me attempt that before I go in for 14.04/Windows. Care to share the exact commands? I don't want to do it via GUI and screw something up for lack of permissions/permanency. | 11:53 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| Timvde | Guest42494: No command, just create the file with your favourite text editor (vim in my case, could be nano or gedit for you) | 11:54 |
| Timvde | And then reboot | 11:54 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: But I don't know if it's going to help for you, your problem is completely different. | 11:54 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde - the thing is.. there isn't even an ath9kps.conf file.. | 11:55 |
| Timvde | Guest42494: I created it too | 11:55 |
| Timvde | But it works :) | 11:55 |
| Guest42494 | Timvde - Yeah, so I think simply the presence might help. Anyway, giving it a shot now | 11:55 |
| abhishek | hello | 11:56 |
| cerry_ | craigbass1976 thank you < | 11:58 |
| cerry_ | <3 | 11:58 |
| Sachiru | What's the minimum RAM requirement for Ubuntu server? | 11:59 |
| cerry_ | so my problem shifted (not sure if anyone can help, kinda OT) but I changed booting sequence in UEFI to get dropped in grub rescue shell (before it was botting in win8) however now I can't access uefi anymore just getting dropped in grub shell. it's a lenova ideapad and I press esc, delete, f1, f2… -sights- | 12:00 |
| DJones | !requirements | Sachiru This link should give you all the details, basically, 192Mb for server releases, | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Sachiru This link should give you all the details, basically, 192Mb for server releases,: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 12:00 |
| Sachiru | Hmm | 12:01 |
| Sachiru | I was thinking of using Ubuntu+KVM to virtualize other operating systems | 12:02 |
| Sachiru | A barebones install of Ubuntu + relevant drivers + KVM/VirtualBox should reasonably fit onto a 8GB USB Drive, right? | 12:02 |
| joe_dm | Sachiru: Depends what you plan on using it for and what hardware you have. don't think there is a real "minimum" | 12:02 |
| Sachiru | Hmm. | 12:03 |
| Sachiru | How much space does a base server install consume? | 12:03 |
| joe_dm | Sachiru: You should be able to fit the hypervisor on 8GB | 12:03 |
| Sachiru | Cool | 12:03 |
| joe_dm | Sachiru: Assuming you are going headless server. | 12:03 |
| Sachiru | Yep, headless | 12:04 |
| Sachiru | Would it be possible to put two USB drives into RAID (2-way mirror) for more reliability, then move swap to spinning disks later? | 12:04 |
| joe_dm | Sarchiru: Biggest thing is to make sure you CPU supports virtulization. | 12:04 |
| Sachiru | HDD serving as both VM storage and swap | 12:05 |
| Sachiru | And yes, CPU supports virtualization. | 12:05 |
| majod | whats the difference between killing, ending and stopping a process? | 12:05 |
| joe_dm | Sachiru: you could use UFS to mirror two USB drives during the OS install | 12:06 |
| joe_dm | majod: Killing is brutal while stopping is graceful | 12:06 |
| Sachiru | UFS? | 12:06 |
| majod | joe_dm: and ending? | 12:06 |
| joe_dm | Sachiru: In short, Yes you can, You configure this on the OS level during the install. not in Bios or anything like a hardware raid | 12:07 |
| Somethings_broke | What does this mean? # Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.110'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages | 12:07 |
| Sachiru | Ok, cool | 12:07 |
| joe_dm | mojod: not sure about ending. but stopping usually runs a script that shuts it down and killing just basically rips it out | 12:07 |
| rpshahi | I want dual boot installation Windows & and Ubuntu.. | 12:10 |
| joe_dm | majod: Don't quote me but I assume ending a process is just a generic way or saying that its stopped whether it be graceful or not. | 12:10 |
| Somethings_broke | I need help. What does this mean and whats the code to fix it? # ...Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine"... | 12:10 |
| joe_dm | rpshahi: was there a question in regards to hybrid OS ? | 12:11 |
| rigo_ | well thank you. again. | 12:11 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke: What was you doing when you get the error? | 12:11 |
| rpshahi | Actually i installed Windows and ubuntu both but ubuntu is not listed in windows bootloader.. | 12:12 |
| Somethings_broke | @rpshahi - If you want Linux software Raid and Windows on the same drives you have to Bios Raid and install windows, Then install Ubuntu. | 12:12 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm I was trying to compile VMware modules. | 12:13 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm the first run crap | 12:13 |
| mexi_d3 | rpshahi, This is 'working as intended' for windows bootloader. Recommended method is install Ubuntu second, not first. | 12:13 |
| rpshahi | I installed ubuntu second.. | 12:13 |
| mexi_d3 | rpshahi, Ubuntu's boot loader should detect both OS and allow choice. Oh I just got here and see you mentioned softraid. | 12:14 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke are you missing a dependancy maybe? Was there errors further up? | 12:15 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm Pastebin, hold on | 12:15 |
| joe_dm | rpshahi: Where is grub installed? Is it possible that you need to boot from a different device, Grub should override windows boot loader if you installed it second. | 12:16 |
| raggg | are the files in /usr/share/upstart/sessions used or is it only the ones in /etc/init? | 12:16 |

| Gallomimia | nevyn: still haven't gotten that system to run with raid5 crypt. got the install done. boots to a blackscreen for some reason.. | 12:18 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke try installing this: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine | 12:19 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke: Also seeing a thread which suggest it may need 32 bit: apt-get install --reinstall gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 | 12:19 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm # gtk2-engines-murrine is already the newest version. | 12:20 |
| Somethings_broke | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 89 not upgraded. | 12:20 |
| joe_dm | raggg:if your talking about startup scripts it should be running from /etc/ini.t but you cant just add stuff in there. | 12:20 |
| joe_dm | raggg: are you trying to add a new script? | 12:21 |
| raggg | joe_dm: no, i have an indicator thats refusing to start in gnome fallback with i3wm, its startup script is in /usr/share/upstart/sessions | 12:21 |
| raggg | i can load the executable normally and it runs, but it wont load on login, and in this session initctl isnt recognising anything in that dir as a job | 12:22 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm # Already did that, but did it again, its working now. Maybe its because im on generic kernel now. | 12:22 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm # in contrast, I was on LowLatency | 12:22 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke you can try this too but not sure if its what you want: sudo echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/' >> /etc/bash.bashrc | 12:22 |
| N3sh108 | do I really need grep for such a simple pattern matching? | 12:22 |
| joe_dm | raggg: are you sure there isn't an init.d script which references /usr/share/upstart/sessions | 12:23 |
| NeoID | anyone familiar with mdadm? I've set a disk as failed, then removed it before removing it physically from the server. After inserting a new one with the same partition layout it began syncing... once it was done the disk showed up as a spare, but by then two other drives crashed... (raid 6). No I do not have enough drives to start the raid.. any hope that data is on the spare drive? is there a way to add it? | 12:23 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke: Glad you got it working :) thats the main thing | 12:23 |
| raggg | joe_dm: no i | 12:23 |
| raggg | will check that out.. | 12:23 |
| raggg | but joe_dm, that wouldnt make sense, init.d are boot time services i though | 12:24 |
| arcsky | if i add an interface in /etc/network/interfaces doesnt it get an ip applied when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 12:24 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: If you lost more than two drives in a RAID6 then it's hopeless without expensive data recovery. | 12:25 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: Thats why people say "RAID is not backup" any chance the drives are not failed? | 12:25 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest81458 | ||
| legion | Good morning all | 12:25 |
| NeoID | joe_dm, I'm not sure, it was only one drive that failed and I wanted to switch with a new one... so after adding a new one and it's stated to be a "spare", there's no data on it yet? | 12:26 |
| joe_dm | arcsky: If you setup the interfaces file correctly then yes, it should get applied on service networking restart | 12:26 |

| Somethings_broke | joe_dm # Have you solved any WiFi randomly falling asleep problems lately? | 12:27 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: Is it hardware RAID or software RAID, If it's hardware RAID I'd suggest booting into the RAID controller setup bios thing. and looking in there | 12:27 |
| joe_dm | Somethings_broke: I mostly only use headless servers and since servers are basically all cable LAN I don't do much WiFi | 12:27 |

| thomson1 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xnpmHA_9p8 | 12:28 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: What type of controller, They all have vastly different interfaces so its hard to tell you what to look for. | 12:29 |
| Somethings_broke | joe_dm # if the problem with my wifi were a power saving... //Heavy sarcasm// "Feature" ---> How would I disable it? | 12:29 |

| Ozux | Any one know how to change ethernet device name in 14.04 it's p4p1 instead of eth0 which ruins all firewall and interfaces configs! | 12:32 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: I recently had 1 drive fail, shortly after getting a new drive in another 2 failed, I just barely didn't lose everything. The issue is when one goes bad the others work overtime which can increase failure chance if they are already on the way out. | 12:33 |
| NeoID | yeah, I see the problem :/ | 12:33 |
| Gallomimia | yeah, rebuilding a raid off a failing drive, worst thing for it | 12:33 |
| joe_dm | NeoID: especially when you do put in a new drive and they all have to work to rebuild the new drive. Multi drive failures happen way too often. | 12:33 |
| Gallomimia | especially when its still in the conditions that made the old one fail. ie heat, vibration | 12:34 |

| ghaering | I need to have supervisord started after the cloud-init scripts (Ubuntu 12.04). supervisor is a "classic" (non-upstart) startup job. Anybody have an idea on how to force this order? | 13:22 |
| joe_dm | ghaering: yes, you can set the order using the update-rc.d | 13:23 |
| joe_dm | ghaering: as a general rule lower numbers start first. so you can first remove the cloud-init script with update-rc.d -f opensips remove | 13:24 |
| joe_dm | ghaering: then add it back with a lower number the supercisord such as update-rc.d opensips defaults 15 | 13:24 |
| joe_dm | ghaering: or you could do the same with supercisord and add it back with a higher number, depending on your other scripts order, etc. | 13:25 |

| ghaering | joe_dm: opensips is what? :) | 13:27 |
| MonkeyDust | lmat try !ccsm or unity-tweak | 13:27 |
| lmat | MonkeyDust: OKay, I took a look at the Unity plugin in ccsm, I'll have a look at unity-tweak. Thanks | 13:27 |
| ghaering | My problem is that I do not know how the old-style stuff is started from within upstart. | 13:27 |
| joe_dm | ghaering: opensips is unrelated? Looks like a VOIP SIP thing | 13:28 |
| ghaering | AFAIK update-rc.d only affects rc-stlye scripts | 13:28 |
| ghaering | joe_dm: so I must make sure the rc stuff is started after a specific (or all) upstart jobs | 13:29 |

| goeo_ | my laptop's battery once died | 13:34 |

| goeo_ | and i couldn't ever get back to my os | 13:34 |
| goeo_ | i'm running from a live usb now | 13:35 |
| goeo_ | my question is | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | goeo_ don't hit enter too often | 13:35 |
| goeo_ | do i have to backup everything and then format a disk? | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | goeo_ backup is *always* a good idea | 13:36 |
| k1l | goeo_: what dies it say when you boot? | 13:36 |
| k1l | goeo_: are you sure the hdd is fine? | 13:36 |
| goeo_ | my disks mount fine here from the live usb | 13:37 |
| goeo_ | i guess somehow it killed my bootloader | 13:37 |
| k1l | then reinstall grub | 13:37 |
| goeo_ | how do i do that? | 13:38 |
| k1l | but that could not be caused by a simple power down | 13:38 |

| STHGOM | trouble mounting i think | 13:43 |
| bala_ | what type of trouble .. | 13:44 |
| goeo_ | says GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again. | 13:44 |
| k1l | STHGOM: could you please make a question with complete info in it? it is very hard to help you | 13:44 |
| goeo_ | going that now | 13:44 |

| STHGOM | before i updated it took 5 mintes to mount HD i think, went to initframs and afer awhile i just types exit | 13:45 |
| STHGOM | what do you need to know? | 13:45 |
| bala_ | hai i am new ubuntu can explain abt xchat | 13:45 |
| STHGOM | bala_ xchat is irc client: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat | 13:46 |

| STHGOM | im kinda noobish about Lubuntu, what do you need to know? | 13:49 |
| bala_ | YES | 13:51 |
| STHGOM | yes? | 13:51 |
| bala_ | KINDA | 13:51 |
| bala_ | TELL ABT LUBUNTU | 13:51 |
| k1l | !lubuntu | bala_ | 13:52 |
| ubottu | bala_: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 13:52 |
| goeo_ | so this is pretty weird | 13:52 |
| STHGOM | so i should go to #lubuntu? | 13:52 |
| goeo_ | i try to make the partition that Boot-Repair asked for | 13:53 |
| k1l | STHGOM: you coulc ask here too | 13:53 |
| goeo_ | but the file system turnes into fat32 | 13:53 |
| goeo_ | and Boot-Repair doesn't see it | 13:53 |
| bala_ | wheather is possible to install vmware in ubuntu _kinda | 13:53 |
| k1l | STHGOM: but make clear what your issue and question is. and give error messages in a pastebin | 13:54 |
| k1l | !in | bala_ maybe that is easier for you to ask in your language | 13:55 |
| ubottu | bala_ maybe that is easier for you to ask in your language: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India | 13:55 |
| goeo_ | k1l: any idea? | 13:55 |
| bala_ | do u answer r not | 13:55 |
| STHGOM | i cant remember complete error | 13:55 |
| STHGOM | i will right it down brb | 13:56 |

| goeo_ | on booting that installation, will it be decrypted? | 15:15 |

| TinCan_Assassin | deadmund: It has to be something else. it is doing it now with FF closed and in XChat, now. The machine just freezes up, to the point where it crashes. | 15:28 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: Do you know how to open top? Look at top and see what the top 1 or 2 processes are. Are they consuming large amounts of CPU or RAM? | 15:28 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: Also, sounds like maybe your harddrive / partition are full. | 15:29 |
| TinCan_Assassin | I don't know how to open top. | 15:29 |
| TinCan_Assassin | It's not in the dash | 15:30 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: Do you know how to open a terminal? Open a terminal and type "top" without quotes and press enter. Press q to quit once it's running. | 15:30 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: It's a terminal program (not a GUI application), so it won't show up in the dashboard. | 15:30 |
| TinCan_Assassin | Ok, wait one | 15:30 |
| deadmund | sure | 15:30 |
| TinCan_Assassin | Ok, got it open, what am I looking for? | 15:32 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: What is the process listed at the top of the list. How much CPU is it using, how much ram is it using? | 15:32 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: Also, look at the second process, what is it and how much CPU / RAM ? | 15:33 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: Is it like 1% or like 103%? | 15:33 |
| TinCan_Assassin | It goes back and forth between compiz and Xorg | 15:33 |
| deadmund | TinCan_Assassin: What are the CPU and Memory values of both? | 15:34 |
| deadmund | Xorg is always usually 1 - 10% because graphics are CPU intensive. | 15:35 |

| brenux | What is kernel panic ? I got this bug right now, and i dont know why.. | 15:46 |
| deadmund | brenux: Kernel panic can mean a lot of things but it basically means the kernel crashed (or could not continue running). The linux kernel is really well written so a kernel panic usually means something is wrong with some hardware. | 15:47 |
| deadmund | brenux: How frequently do you experience kernel panics? | 15:47 |
| brenux | Is the first time. | 15:48 |
| deadmund | brenux: It might just be a fluke (gamma ray from the sun!) | 15:48 |
| brenux | wtf.. well.. lets wait and see if it happen again.. | 15:50 |
| deadmund | brenux: If it's rare (like less than once a month) ignore it. If it's frequent, then start checking hardware. | 15:51 |
| brenux | deadmund, this error already happen to you? | 15:52 |
| bsdbandit | is there a way to roll back after patching ubuntu linux | 15:52 |
| deadmund | brenux: I've see kernel panics. They're kind of generic. One time I had to remove an old modem pci card or I would get a kernel panic every hour | 15:52 |
| deadmund | brenux: I've also seen the happen like 1 / year or something and I basically just ignore them then. | 15:53 |

| ubuntu | Hiya | 16:14 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest59664 | ||
| zid | already read a dozen different explanations online with different warnings. | 16:14 |

| cfhowlett | ubuntu ask you ubuntu questions. | 16:14 |
| zid | just curious | 16:14 |
| Guest59664 | ok | 16:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !uefi | zid start here | 16:15 |
| ubottu | zid start 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 | 16:15 |
| TJ- | zid: If you're using UEFI then the disk is GPT layout, which allows up to 128 partitions | 16:15 |
| zid | Thanks a bunch! | 16:15 |

| A_Man_Apart | a Question | 16:15 |
| lualv | TJ-: I used atp-get install linux-kernel-headers and apt-get install kernel-package. Is it the same? | 16:15 |
| zid | cool. I read many people warning that even the GRUB 2 version would result in bootchain errors still and lots of different other warnings about boot issues | 16:16 |
| zid | But I thought you had to install 14.0 LTS with UEFI and safe boot disabled - does that affect the number of primary partitions allowed? | 16:17 |
| OerHeks | zid, windows 8 should use gpt to avoid this old issue | 16:17 |
| A_Man_Apart | how a cant get to the puppy room chat? | 16:18 |
| A_Man_Apart | sorry | 16:18 |
| A_Man_Apart | how i can | 16:18 |

| zid | The issues I read seemed to be from ubuntu dual boot installations from autumn to december 2013 last year, but I will check up on it. Thanks. | 16:18 |

| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's.

| TJ- | lualv: without some context and the message you're referring to, I'm in the dark | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dcope: you could make an SSH tunnel, you can then connect to the tunnel and it will securely transfer the data to the wan ip | 16:30 |
| BACKBOX | it says no such file or directory | 16:30 |
| dcope | that seems like a lot of work and i'd like something with less overhead | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dcope: thats the only way I can think to do it, could ask in ##networking | 16:31 |

| shreezbot | compdoc, I don't have access to the GUI, so I have to do everything form the command line | 17:03 |
| compdoc | shreezbot, then dont install virt-manager | 17:03 |

| === s0lidus_ is now known as dislin | ||
| SirMarky | ActionParsnip - My music is a mix of AAC, AIFF, AAC and a small handfull of MP3s. This is because I used to use and love iTunes on the Mac. Now I use Ubuntu and moving everything over. With iTunes songs of a higher bitrate than that chosen in settings are reduced to it when sync'd to the iPod. Mine was set to 256 AAC so anything higher than this was converted on the iPod with the original left untouched. I understan | 17:30 |
| SirMarky | setting to change it. | 17:30 |
| Beldar | goeo_, You have the sda drive first read in the bios? | 17:31 |
| SirMarky | If I can't use Rhythmbox to do this, what should I use? | 17:31 |
| goeo_ | funny thing is | 17:32 |
| SirMarky | I shoudl have said AAC, ALAC and AIFF not, AAC, AIFF and AAC. | 17:32 |

| ubottu | goeo_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 17:32 |
| goeo_ | Beldar: it's not, but it can't boot from any disk, so it goes right to bios. | 17:33 |
| Beldar | goeo_, I'm not up on efi, but making sure the correct HD is read first matters here, set sda first and try a boot if you have not already. | 17:34 |
| Beldar | goeo_, The sdb is not showing it's stuff, it errors on the script | 17:35 |

| ActionParsnip | SirMarky: you could use a bash script with mencoder to change the encoding | 17:37 |
| Beldar | goeo_, I'm not sure on having only one HD as GPT is workable sdb is, sda is not, others here will know better. | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: when you last unplugged the device, did you use the safe remove feature in your OS before physically unplugging it? | 17:38 |
| goeo_ | whoops, fixed. Boot-Repair apparenly installed grub as legacy. | 17:39 |
| goeo_ | Beldar: ^ | 17:39 |

| SirMarky | ActionParsnip - I am sorry, I don't know how to do that. | 17:40 |

| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: yes, did you safe remove the storage in 10.04 before unplugging it? | 17:41 |
| sl33k_ | ActionParsnip: Nope iirc | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | SirMarky: also try soundconverter | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: why do you think that feature is in the OS? | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: why do you think it is the first thing I ask? | 17:42 |
| sl33k_ | ActionParsnip: because it avoids data corruption | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: so why do you not do it? | 17:43 |
| SirMarky | ActionaParsnip - I don't want to use MP3. They sound flat. I want to continue using AAC, ALAC and AIFF or possibly converting to FLAC for the last two but continue to have the program re-encode to 256 AAC as I presently do. If the program converts anyway why can't I amend the settings in a config file or elsewhere. Seems half complete to do a job and not offer any options to amend the settings. | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sl33k_: do you want corrupted data? | 17:44 |

| Jordan_U | newtolinux27: Is your phone configured for teathering? One problem might be that it is advertising itself as a default gateway via DHCP (your phone may be telling Ubuntu that it's the way Ubuntu should access the internet), and you can't (easily) have two default gateways (Ubuntu can't consider both your ethernet connected router and your phone to be its connection to the internet). | 18:05 |

| Jordan_U | mithran: What guide are you following? | 18:07 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: means | 18:07 |
| newtolinux27 | Jordan_U: Yes it is tethering.. and oh i see.. any solution for this? | 18:08 |
| bakflash | hello there, I've a new 4tb hdd and can't partition it to 4tb, it is always partioned to 2tb. I did the following: sudo fdisk -> n -> p -> 1 -> (default values: 2048 - 4294967294) -> w -> sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1 -> df -h: /dev/sdd1 2,0T ... anyone an idea? | 18:08 |
| llutz | bakflash: you need gpt partition layout, fdisk cannot use that. use parted | 18:08 |
| Jordan_U | newtolinux27: To confirm, you *do* want to use the ethernet connected router for internet, correct? | 18:08 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: i just disabled and enables the boot chart | 18:08 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: What command are you running and where did you find this command? | 18:09 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: but from several days back i just noticed it today | 18:09 |
| bakflash | llutz: oic, didn't know that. thank you! :) | 18:09 |
| ifthenelse | I have a weird issue--I am copying a file that is 400MB large from one folder to another. However, they were not the same!! An "@" symbol showed up in the somewhere in the file where there is no "@" symbol--this also happened when an "F" appeared. WHY is this happening? I am just copying a file! | 18:10 |
| newtolinux27 | Jordan_U: oh no, i dont have internet from ethernet now, i use ethernet to transfer file between laptop, my current internet is from tether android phone. | 18:10 |
| Jordan_U | ifthenelse: How are you copying the file? What filesystem? What type of disk? | 18:10 |
| newtolinux27 | ... and i wonder if its possible to use ethernet while also use the wifi | 18:10 |
| Jordan_U | newtolinux27: OK, so you want to get internet from your phone, and access just one other computer via ethernet, correct? | 18:10 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7531037/ | 18:11 |
| newtolinux27 | Jordan_U: yes bro | 18:11 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: all commands i used are there | 18:11 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: I asked two questions, you've only answered one of them. | 18:12 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: i just searched the web and got the commands | 18:13 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: OK, how did you configure the connection between your Ubuntu machine and the other machine via ethernet? What OS are you using for the other machine? | 18:13 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: From what website? | 18:13 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: i don't remember where it get from | 18:13 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: i think i searched how to config bootchart in ubuntu | 18:13 |
| ifthenelse | Jordan_U: One person copied a file from a Mac to Ubuntu using "go -> connect", ssh, then copied the file from the mac system to the ubuntu system. It happened with me as well but I don't know if I did a cp (same system Ubuntu) or rsync (from Mac to Ubuntu). The filesystem is ext4 | 18:14 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: When performing system level changes like this you really need to be much more careful. | 18:14 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: hmmmmmmmm | 18:15 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: Also, never use "sudo" for GUI commands. | 18:15 |
| newtolinux27 | Jordan_U: yes i want to get internet from my phone, and access just one other computer via ethernet | 18:15 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | mithran | 18:15 |
| ubottu | mithran: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:15 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: Why? | 18:15 |
| axotle | hey guys what do you call that curser "|" in the search box ? | 18:16 |
| ODB2 | axotle - the chink key | 18:16 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: ok | 18:16 |
| sl33k_ | I get this message: Sorry, Ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error. I can't copy the details. Is there a place I could see and show what went haywire? | 18:16 |
| axotle | serious ? | 18:16 |
| ODB2 | of course | 18:16 |
| ODB2 | tilde and chink | 18:16 |
| bakflash | hmm llutz, maybe you can answer this too: I have two times the same drive. One of them is ntfs formatted. the NTFS formatted one shows 3,7TB in df -h, the ext4 one shows 3,6TB. Is this kind of related to ext4 or does it seems like I have an ..uhm.. 'crappy' drive? | 18:16 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: sudo update-rc.d stop-bootchart start 99 2 3 4 5 | 18:16 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/stop-bootchart: file does not exist | 18:16 |
| axotle | this is tilde ~ | 18:16 |
| ODB2 | yep that's the one | 18:17 |
| ODB2 | left of one | 18:17 |
| axotle | what is this one | | 18:17 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: replays like this | 18:17 |
| ODB2 | the chink key | 18:17 |
| axotle | :| | 18:17 |
| sl33k_ | Do I report the message? | 18:17 |
| axotle | don't believe you | 18:17 |
| module000 | bakflash: look at the drive geometry and see how many sectors each disk has. don't measure this type of thing in bytes | 18:17 |
| ODB2 | why would I lie? | 18:17 |
| Pici | ODB2: please stop. | 18:17 |
| ODB2 | google it | 18:17 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: You really shouldn't be running that command, that type of thing should be done automatically as needed when installing such a package. I expect that the guide your were following was outdated, just plain wrong, or both. | 18:17 |
| llutz | bakflash: reserved blocks, fs-overhead... not sure | 18:17 |
| axotle | i did | 18:17 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: ok | 18:18 |
| ODB2 | then you must have your answer | 18:18 |
| axotle | tilde gives me ~ but chink doesn't give me anything | 18:18 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: Don't just trust any link you find from google. Look for official documentation. | 18:18 |
| ODB2 | if anyone calls it the "gook" key, they are being a massive racist | 18:18 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: ok i tried this too to reconfigure it but bad luck ........gso@System-GSO:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall bootchart | 18:19 |
| axotle | ODB2, is there anyways i can change the tilde in search box ? | 18:19 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: And make sure that the guides you follow are actually meant for the release of Ubuntu you're using. | 18:19 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: can you help me to make it as defaults | 18:20 |
| ODB2 | yeh, if you hold down shift and press chink key | 18:20 |
| ODB2 | I am joking | 18:20 |
| mithran | Jordan_U: hmmmmmmm | 18:20 |
| ODB2 | don't kick me | 18:20 |
| axotle | i know you are | 18:20 |
| ODB2 | I am surprised you googled it to be honest | 18:20 |
| axotle | you've been joking the whole time | 18:20 |
| axotle | no | 18:20 |
| k1l | ODB2: last time now: be helpful in here please. | 18:20 |

| axotle | i never trusted you when you said chink | 18:20 |
| axotle | but i knew what a tilde was | 18:20 |
| mithran | please help me!!!!!!!!!!! | 18:21 |
| ODB2 | axotle: In all honestly, the key is called "Vertical bar" | 18:21 |
| sl33k_ | I get this message: Sorry, Ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error. I can't copy the details. Is there a place I could see and show what went haywire? | 18:21 |
| ODB2 | but I think it should be called the chink key, but you know how Political Correctness is these days | 18:21 |
| module000 | sl33k_: where are you seeing that message, in a popup? | 18:21 |
| Havenstance2 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7531067/ Any clues on how to fix this? | 18:21 |
| bakflash | module000: good idea, 100 cylinders less on the new drive. I guess I have a broken/bad drive :/ | 18:21 |
| mithran | help me to make my bootchart to defaults | 18:21 |
| sl33k_ | module000: Yup. Just as I logged into the account | 18:22 |
| axotle | no it's not called chink... | 18:22 |
| module000 | sl33k_: look at your .xsession-errors file first, chances are the error causing that is detailed in there | 18:23 |

| newtolinux27 | Jordan_U: ohhh ok but then i will lose the internet connection. i will pastebin it and come back in few minutes ok | 18:31 |

| RustyShackleford | there are newer versions available in a PPA i'm going to add | 18:52 |
| RustyShackleford | is there an easy way to make sure all the old stuff is removed? | 18:52 |
| k1l | RustyShackleford: the package system will install the latest version. so if the PPA got a more recent it will install that over the older one of the ubuntu repo | 18:53 |
| === charlesW is now known as PCworker | ||

| p0wder | I can use one swap for both OS's? | 19:07 |
| llutz | p0wder: sry, use 1 swap for all | 19:07 |
| p0wder | oooo | 19:07 |

| p0wder | does it matter which Swap I delete right now? | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | qin: If one distro is hibernated then the other can't use the swap partition. The hibernation image is stored in the swap partition. | 19:09 |
| qin | Jordan_U: Sorry, I in slow mode apparently, thanks. | 19:09 |
| Jordan_U | qin: You're welcome. | 19:09 |
| p0wder | Alright. So, right now i have two Swaps. does it matter which one i repartition? | 19:10 |
| qin | Jordan_U: one thinky, how to boot other sysrem if one is hibernated? | 19:10 |
| qin | system | 19:10 |
| kaste | p0wder: no, it's just a matter of size | 19:10 |
| Jordan_U | p0wder: Ensure that both distros' fstab are using the same UUID for swap, and that it's the UUID of the partition you do *not* plan to delete. Then ensure that the swap you plan to delete is not currently in use, "swapon -s", then delete the unused swap partition. | 19:11 |
| Bashing-om | p0wder: does not matter, so long as the file "etc/fstab" is edited to point to the remanining swap partition. | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | qin: Same way you would boot it if the other is not hibernated. Boot the computer and select it from the grub menu. | 19:11 |
| kaste | If you need some criterion, think about which partition you want to add the space to later on | 19:11 |
| p0wder | "swapon -s" doesn't give me any info | 19:12 |
| p0wder | it says filename, etc.... | 19:12 |

| Jordan_U | ARM9: Can you try booting from DVD instead? It looks like for some reason the kernel/initrd provided for the Ubuntu live image can't access your USB drive, but may be able to access the DVD drive (and from there load additional kernel modules to access your USB drives). | 20:09 |
| ARM9 | jordan_U plot twist: I don't have a dvd drive | 20:10 |
| ARM9 | or any sort of drive for optical medium | 20:10 |
| ARM9 | that certainly puts a wrench in my plans | 20:11 |
| Jordan_U | ARM9: If you're adventurous you could try installing using the netboot kernel and initrd, though you may not know if Ubuntu will be able to access your USB devices until after you've already installed Ubuntu then. | 20:11 |
| Jordan_U | ARM9: Note that you don't actually have to netboot, just use unetbootin to prepare a USB with the "minimal" iso, which will give you an ugly pseudo graphical installer, and requires an internet connection during install (preferably via ethernet rather than wireless). | 20:12 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | ARM9 | 20:12 |
| ubottu | ARM9: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:12 |

| cerry | OEP: probably won't be able to help you with that :C | 20:22 |
| k1l | jpoole: no | 20:23 |
| ARM9 | No need for netboot jordan_U | 20:23 |
| ARM9 | something mustve gone wrong the first time around | 20:23 |
| k1l | jpoole: but if you explain more people could help you | 20:23 |
| jpoole | so I'm trying to bootstrap a trusty AMI image and do a safe-upgrade on it, but it appears that grub is saying "A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.". My problem is that I want to do this all non-interactively and can't. | 20:23 |
| Jordan_U | jpoole: What do you mean by "safe-upgrade"? | 20:24 |
| jpoole | aptitude -y safe-upgrade | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | jpoole: Where did you get this image from? | 20:24 |
| jpoole | ubuntu's ami's | 20:25 |
| k1l | jpoole: menu.lst? that is grub1. ubuntu go grub2 since some ages | 20:25 |
| jpoole | interesting | 20:25 |
| jpoole | ok, so let me step through what my bootstrap process it | 20:25 |
| jpoole | is | 20:25 |
| phunyguy | What is an AMI image? | 20:25 |
| phunyguy | and if it is not the standard, it may very well use grub v1 | 20:26 |
| jpoole | ami-1d8c9574 | 20:26 |
| phunyguy | I don't know what that is. | 20:26 |
| jpoole | is that the ubuntu trusty lts image? | 20:26 |
| jpoole | for us-east? | 20:26 |
| k1l | amazon machine image | 20:27 |
| * jpoole double checks. | 20:27 | |
| phunyguy | yeah that may use grub 1 | 20:27 |
| k1l | jpoole: you are on amazon cloud servers? | 20:27 |
| jpoole | https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ | 20:27 |
| jpoole | i got the ami from there. | 20:27 |
| coinswap-ian | if i have a shell script with 2 commands in it on separate lines, will it wait for the first line (command) to complete before executing the 2nd line? | 20:27 |
| Bashing-om | jpoole: To add to the mix "/boot/grub/menu.lst" has not neen in use in ages in a standard install. What in the world are you doing ? | 20:28 |
| k1l | jpoole: can you describe what you want to do at all? | 20:28 |
| phunyguy | jpoole, those images are to be used on amazon cloud servers... is that what you are doing? | 20:28 |
| jpoole | well yeah. | 20:28 |
| jpoole | ec2 image | 20:28 |
| jpoole | i am basically just booting a trusty amd64 hvm:ebs instance type in us-east, and then doing a aptitude safe-upgrade | 20:29 |
| jpoole | and i get that grub error | 20:29 |
| phunyguy | strange. | 20:29 |
| jpoole | which i thought was peculiar too | 20:29 |
| phunyguy | maybe amazon can shed some light on that? | 20:29 |
| phunyguy | have you contacted them? | 20:29 |
| jpoole | ubuntu manages those images, or canacial does. | 20:30 |
| phunyguy | these cloud places that host cloud servers, sometimes modify the ubuntu installs to work in their environment... this may be the case here | 20:30 |
| phunyguy | OH I see | 20:30 |
| jpoole | well sure, these are 'cloud'init'ialized. | 20:30 |
| phunyguy | yeah i see that now | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | jpoole: Please pastebin the output of "dpkg -l | grep grub" after installing, and before doing anything else. | 20:31 |
| jpoole | i'll launch another one now, and step through it | 20:31 |
| phunyguy | is that an error, or is it simply asking you to compare the two files and let it choose for you, or make changes yourself? | 20:31 |
| jpoole | jordon will do | 20:31 |
| jpoole | phun it's not an error per say, but it's warning me what to do with this file, keep package maintainers, keep the current, diff the files, or try a 3 way merge. | 20:32 |
| phunyguy | jpoole, so choose. | 20:33 |
| jpoole | i want to do this non-interactively. | 20:33 |
| jpoole | ie, using something like packer. | 20:33 |
| jpoole | creating my own ami, based off the ubuntu ami | 20:33 |
| phunyguy | Yeah I am not sure there. Good luck. | 20:33 |
| jpoole | put my special sauce on the image, configure it for me. etc | 20:33 |
| jpoole | it was working two days ago | 20:33 |
| jpoole | now all of a sudden | 20:33 |
| jpoole | anyhow, i'll step through it and pastebin it. | 20:33 |
| genii | Hm | 20:34 |
| phunyguy | FYI, http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/grub | 20:35 |
| phunyguy | version 0.97 | 20:35 |
| genii | !info grub-legacy-ec2 | 20:35 |

| phunyguy | well that shows grub2, but also mentions grub-legacy | 20:37 |

| jpoole | aptitude is installed | 20:45 |
| jpoole | it's default on the ami | 20:45 |

| jpoole | it's being 'nicer' to me. | 20:50 |

| Jordan_U | jpoole: I expect that something you're installing is editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, which people used to think was actually a safe and simple thing to do (they were wrong :). | 20:51 |
| homegrown | k1l: yes it is | 20:52 |
| k1l | homegrown: then there might be something wrong with that files. | 20:52 |
| jpoole | Jordan_U thanks for the insight, i'll just satisfy my issue with apt-get for now, and isolate my possible package mangling with some fun trial and error. | 20:53 |
| jpoole | and appreciate your help. | 20:53 |
| jpoole | Jordan, for fun i just ran an aptitude -y safe-upgrade after that apt-get update.. | 20:54 |

| icecream | ain't they are using the same package lists | 20:54 |
| icecream | so you only have to update one | 20:54 |

| k1l | akenny52: download the original ubuntu files from the ubuntu main page. | 20:58 |
| homegrown | k1l: just realised i'm on 64-bit. that's possibly the problem | 20:59 |
| icecream | But the dist-upgrade with edited sources.list worked too. Do I really need this update-manager stuff? On Debian it works with sources.list edit too though | 20:59 |
| Mathias | does the stock ubuntu kernel in 14.04 have iommu etc enabled? | 20:59 |
| k1l | icecream: debian is not ubuntu. debian doesnt use PPAs for example | 21:00 |
| icecream | okay | 21:00 |
| akenny52 | its only giving me the option to download as a winzip file from the download site | 21:01 |
| Pici | akenny52: what is the filetype? | 21:01 |
| Jordan_U | akenny52: A .iso file is not a "winzip file". Your Windows installation may associate .iso files with winzip, but that's simply a mistake (in my opinion at least). | 21:01 |
| Jordan_U | Mathias: What is your end goal? | 21:02 |
| Mathias | Jordan_U: PCI passthrough in kvm | 21:02 |
| akenny52 | ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386 is the file name, and the only file type i can select is winzip. | 21:03 |
| Jordan_U | Mathias: I believe that's possible with a stock kernel. Are you having any problems getting such a configuration to work? | 21:04 |
| kirjou | hello, I'm trying to get my wireless card configured for ubuntu. I cannot get it to work. The driver in use is b43-pci-bridge. when i run the command "ifconfig -a" it doesn't show up | 21:04 |

| kirjou | wired connection works just no wireless | 21:08 |
| Jordan_U | jpoole: Now that you've updated your kernel, which will have modified your /boot/grub/menu.lst, make a new md5sum of it, and a copy of it for refernce, so that as you keep configuring things you can check when the /boot/grub/menu.lst is being modified, by what, and how. | 21:10 |

| CrowX- | is chrome aura included in ubuntu's package manager by default? | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | fbdystang: apt-get by default will install the highest package version from the packages available in all the configured repositories. It's the ppa maintainers' job to make sure their packages' version is higher than that provided in the default repositories. | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | CrowX-: Chrome is proprietary and so is not included by default, chromium however is, and I believe it uses the Aura UI. | 21:27 |

| ikonia | back up to what ? | 21:36 |
| PlotCitizen | To an external HDD on my computer. | 21:36 |
| PlotCitizen | I was using rsync, and copying the entire filesystem of a machine mounted on localhost:2222 that has rsync installed. | 21:36 |
| ikonia | rsync /source/path /destination/path works | 21:36 |
| ikonia | you can add as many options as you want | 21:36 |
| PlotCitizen | I've tried that when I was first setting it up and it didn't work. I remember having to set quite a bit of complex parameteris in there in order to get it to work. I can go run what you've suggested and see if I can get it to work. | 21:38 |

| Techman | I have a question about the geoip-database package | 21:39 |
| Techman | Is it updated often? (12.04 server) | 21:39 |
| lmat_ | It looks like I'm having trouble with java :( I have openjdk 7. I just upgraded to 14.04 (from 12.04), and hadn't used it yet. | 21:40 |
| Techman | Because a friend of mine got hit by a GeoIP gate when his IP was from the netherlands | 21:40 |
| Techman | When the geoip package said it was from Russia which is wrong | 21:40 |
| PlotCitizen | ikonia: How would I do that over SFTP? It says "If arg is a remote file/dir, prefix it with a colon (:)." | 21:40 |
| Barnabas | lmat_, what trouble | 21:40 |
| Techman | So I'm assuming the package is outdated. Is there any way to get fresh data? | 21:40 |
| lmat_ | When I start Eclipse (a Java application), it runs for a while | 21:40 |
| lmat_ | Then, when I start my web server, apport tells me that java crashed | 21:40 |
| ikonia | PlotCitizen: rsync -e ssh user@host:/path | 21:40 |
| Techman | I heard about some contrib package, but I don't know how good it is, nor if that too is updated often | 21:41 |
| lmat_ | (it's Eclipse's java, not the application I'm trying to launch using Eclipse) | 21:41 |
| Techman | Anyone with knowledge about this would be appreciated. | 21:41 |
| PlotCitizen | But I want to rsync everything | 21:41 |
| lmat_ | I got this jdk while using 12.04...is it a known issue ? Perhaps I need to reinstall my jdk/jre now that I have 14.04 ? | 21:42 |
| ikonia | PlotCitizen: right, so adapt what I've given you | 21:42 |
| Techman | If anyone gets around to helping, please say my nickname | 21:43 |

| Techman | I don't monitor this channel all the time to see responses | 21:43 |

| omber | Ahoy, I have 3 md devices, is it a bad idea to run scrub on them at the same time? | 21:43 |

| ikonia | PlotCitizen: why you are are using ssh for a local copy | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Voyage: What player are you using? | 21:50 |
| PlotCitizen | It's an iPhone, it needs afc2add in order for me to browse the filesystem locally which I refrain from using because it poses a security risk. | 21:51 |

| PlotCitizen | Backup everything on the phone onto a folder located at /Volumes/My\ Passport/iPhone-rsync2/ | 21:52 |
| ikonia | PlotCitizen: so are you running this command rsync on the iphone or the PC | 21:53 |
| Voyage | gareim, wow, i didnt knew that it was even possible. so the video file has both audio streams at the same time. its just that one is muted | 21:53 |
| PlotCitizen | ikonia: Running the command on the computer, but rsync is installed on the iPhone as well although I don't think it's currently running as a daemon | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | Voyage: It likely has multiple subtitle tracks embedded in it as well :) | 21:54 |
| ikonia | PlotCitizen: so rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 2222" root@localhost:/ /volumes/whatever | 21:55 |
| lmat | Barnabas: yup :) | 21:55 |
| ikonia | PlotCitizen: or something around that syntax should get it right | 21:55 |

| jhutchins | Solver: In any case, the fact remains that the partition is corrupt. fsck might be able to save it, but you'll probably need to reformat and restore from backup or reinstall. | 22:50 |
| meowkitty666 | k0lbalt: I think this would help :) http://www.maketecheasier.com/theme-up-lubuntu/ | 22:50 |
| Soelen | jhutchins: there is nothing to backup, I just got this message after installing ubuntu | 22:50 |
| Sonderblade | after upgrading to 14.04, i have a plymouthd process that continually eats 15% cpu, how do you get rid of that? | 22:50 |
| jhutchins | Soelen: Check the information on smartmontools, do a filesystem check (sudo shutdown -Fr now). | 22:51 |
| K0balt | how can i let my Lubuntu windows transparets whithout compiz????????? | 22:51 |
| Soelen | jhutchins: I'm sorry, I'm very new to this whole thing, is smartmantools preinstalled? | 22:51 |
| jhutchins | Soelen: I don't think so by default. | 22:51 |
| cerry | K0balt: hej, you might find more help in #lubuntu :) | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | K0balt: Why don't you want to use compiz? Also, your '?' key appears to be broken. | 22:52 |
| K0balt | ok thanks cerry | 22:52 |
| cerry | K0balt: I also assume you use LXDE so probably there's #lxde as well - couldn't find any info on their webpage though (just a broken web-chat plugin :C ) | 22:54 |

| k-joseph | hey, my pc is of good specifications, but it is so slow now days, checking i discouver that all cpus run with normal levels as well as swap but memory levels are so high, tried checking for ways to make it normal and tried forexample swappines but didn't help, any assistance | 23:17 |
| daftykins | how much RAM do you have? | 23:17 |
| ianorlin | what are the specifiaction k-joseph as good chages over time? | 23:18 |
| gamboo | I'm trying to install a set of packages. dpkg-query shows the packages with a "desired" status of "i" but an actual status of "n". Running apt-get dselect-upgrade results in no packages being installed and no diagnostic output. | 23:18 |
| Soelen | I need help with smartctl | 23:18 |
| stockholm_ | hi | 23:19 |
| Soelen | jhutchins: I ran smartctl -H for /dev/sda and sdb and both passed, what does that mean | 23:19 |
| Soelen | Loshki: | 23:19 |
| RustyShackleford | i'm getting really poor network performance | 23:20 |
| RustyShackleford | under windows, it works just fine | 23:20 |
| k-joseph | ianorlin: 4bg ram, 2.3+ ghz processor speed, 4 cpus(i3) | 23:20 |
| RustyShackleford | in the past, the fix was to disable some service which caches dns | 23:20 |
| RustyShackleford | i wish I could remember what it was called | 23:20 |
| Soelen | I need help with smartctl | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | Soelen: What "mke2fs" command did you use to "fix" this problem? Most invocations of mke2fs will lead to wiping all of your data... | 23:23 |
| ianorlin | k-joseph is there anything you do that you are doing that gets really poor performance web browsing? | 23:23 |
| Soelen | Jordan_U: what data? I just installed ubuntu | 23:23 |
| Loshki | Soelen: Something like: sudo apt-get install smartmontools gsmartcontrol, then sudo gsmartcontrol | 23:24 |
| k-joseph | ianorlin: i do normal browsing, and run heavy java applications too | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | Soelen: Well, your root filesystem. So if you're OK with now re-installing Ubuntu then I guess there is no problem with your root filesystem being wiped. | 23:24 |
| rmoore | anyone familiar with getting the GM45 Intel card to run minecraft? | 23:24 |
| Soelen | Loshki: both devices has passed the health test | 23:25 |
| Soelen | Loshki: aka smartctl -H /dev/sda and sdb | 23:25 |
| ianorlin | hmm browsers sort of keep on bloating ? not sure what to do to get java to run better | 23:25 |
| Soelen | what does that mean? | 23:25 |
| rmoore | should i try using an older version of minecraft? | 23:25 |
| Soelen | Jordan_U: the partiion which I just mounted the home directories | 23:26 |
| daftykins | rmoore: assuming you have the oracle java installed, you should have the best chance... though this is the OS support, not minecraft support :) | 23:26 |
| Loshki | Soelen: that's good, but it still doesn't explain why you got superblock read errors in the first place. In your position, I would reinstall the OS and keep nothing on there you can afford to lose if the disk dies suddenly. | 23:27 |
| rmoore | Sorry to clog this channel up. I asked for help in the minecraft support channel and someone just LOL'd me | 23:27 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i search for a specific section of a man page | 23:27 |
| Soelen | Loshki: it's an idea | 23:28 |

| Guest90210 | how to disable pulseaudio | 23:29 |
| daftykins | you likely don't want to disable pulseaudio, your problem is probably unrelated and you only think you have to disable it | 23:30 |
| daftykins | so, describe the actual problem and maybe someone can help | 23:30 |
| Loshki | Soelen: Well it's just good practice. A disk can die at any time, for no apparent reason, sometimes you get a warning, sometimes you don't. And DOAs are on the increase as companies do less QA to keep prices down. | 23:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | for some reason i can't set my wallpaper within Xubuntu 14.04 anymore. I used to be able to, right clicking does nothing. i also dont' have any icons on my desktop, can someone help? | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | Guest90210: What problem are you trying to solve? | 23:30 |
| Guest90210 | pulseaudio makes cookies | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntuaddicted: Sounds like the default file manager for Xubuntu crashed, those in #xubuntu are more likely to be familiar with this though. | 23:31 |
| daftykins | why on earth would you disable it then O_O | 23:32 |
| daftykins | cookies = great | 23:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Jordan_U, thanks, i wasn't aware there was an xubuntu channel | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | Guest90210: Could you please rephrase your last comment? I don't understand what you mean. | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntuaddicted: You're welcome. | 23:32 |
| Bashing-om | linuxuz3r: Maybe like -> man -k <search term> <-??? . | 23:32 |
| Guest90210 | agent.2546 | 23:33 |
| Beldar | Loshki, Can you prove this empirically "And DOAs are on the increase as companies do less QA to keep prices down." | 23:33 |
| ausjke | updated LTS12.04 from .39 kernel to .41, my virtualbox/win7 stopped working | 23:33 |
| daftykins | ausjke: virtualbox probably needs its' kernel modules rebuilt, look up their documentation | 23:33 |
| ausjke | daftykins: i rebuilt them, including those guest modules | 23:34 |
| ausjke | no help, spent nearly a whole day on this | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | Guest90210: you're going to need to explain things a lot better | 23:34 |
| daftykins | ausjke: and the errors on tring to start a guest are? | 23:34 |
| === andre__ is now known as Guest86973 | ||
| daftykins | ausjke: well in fairness virtualbox support is more relevant here | 23:34 |
| ausjke | no error, win7 came up, immediately reports its explorer is corrupted, i just reinstalled a new win7, saw the same error, so it's not virus or something | 23:34 |
| Loshki | Beldar: Actually, no, I can't. It's an impression formed by reading feedback/reviews on Amazon, Newegg and the like. Most product | 23:34 |
| ausjke | google told me it could be some video driver related issues | 23:35 |
| ausjke | how can I find the diff between .39 and .41? | 23:35 |
| Beldar | Loshki, Ah, than not even close to relevant, and actually a biased opinion, please preface those remarks accordingly. ;) | 23:35 |
| ausjke | well i tried other virtualbox versions and no help either, so I'm betting more on the kernel side | 23:36 |
| Loshki | Beldar: Oops. Most product reviews seem to average about a 10% complaint rate, depending on the toaster. Anything higher than that gives me pause. You're right, I should've added disclaimers. | 23:36 |
| Beldar | Loshki, I have done it to. ;) | 23:36 |
| akenny52 | so im trying to start ubuntu. i downloaded ubuntu, which for some reason my computer thought it was a winzip file. i burned that onto a disc, put it into my computer and tried to boot the computer with it. i was given the option to boot from the disc, but then it says the selected boot device not avaiable | 23:39 |
| Loshki | Beldar: there used to be a site that collected disk reviews in an attempt to get some kind of statistical overview. One problem is that by the time the reviews were in, the models are obsolete. Nothing worse than finding a really reliable drive reported which turns out to be long discontinued. Any sysadmins care to comment on their disk supply quality? | 23:39 |
| Guest90210 | The computer is not used for sound. How is pulseaudio disabled? The attempt to chmod -x pulseaudio did not prevent pulseaudio from booting. | 23:39 |
| Beldar | Loshki, Yeah, research can lag. | 23:40 |
| Guest90210 | Is agent.2546 on channel? | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | Guest90210: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 23:40 |
| daftykins | akenny52: what program inside what OS did you burn the .ISO with? | 23:40 |
| talky_toaster | Ah HA! | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | Guest90210: Is having pulseaudio installed actually causing you any problems? Does this machine have a GUI? What is it used for? | 23:40 |
| daftykins | akenny52: being a winzip file simply means winzip can open and extract files from inside a .ISO file | 23:40 |
| daftykins | talky_toaster: Red Dwarf fan? :) | 23:41 |
| Guest90210 | sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio is not satisfactory due to dependency injections. | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | Guest90210: well thats the way to disable it | 23:42 |
| akenny52 | daftykins: im using windows 7, and to burn the disc i just moved the file over to the disc, and was prompted to burn the file to the disc | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | akenny52: that is incorrect. you need to burn the iso as a disc image, not as a file | 23:43 |
| daftykins | akenny52: ah ok so it used the windows image burner | 23:43 |
| === talky_toaster is now known as blubadubdub | ||
| Guest90210 | Ben64 the response is appreciated | 23:43 |
| akenny52 | ahhh gotcha. i have daemon tools lite, will that work? | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | !burning | akenny52 | 23:44 |
| ubottu | akenny52: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 23:44 |
| Soelen | Loshki: thanks a lot for you help loshki, will keep that in mind | 23:44 |
| Guest90210 | Is canonical hiring? | 23:44 |
| Loshki | Soelen: my pleasure... | 23:44 |
| Guest90210 | We don't always use money properly. | 23:45 |
| meowkitty666 | What is the best app to use to rip CD/DVD to an ISO file | 23:45 |
| blubadubdub | I use dd | 23:45 |
| Guest90210 | I know a person that can use a paycheck properly. | 23:45 |
| akenny52 | got it, thank you guys | 23:46 |
| blubadubdub | dd if=/dev/sr0 of=mycd.iso | 23:46 |
| daftykins | akenny52: that's not an image burner, that's an image mounter. give 'imgburn' a go if you like, it's a free windows image writing program - be warned though, it has some nasty sound effects as default | 23:46 |
| meowkitty666 | Tried using ' dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/name/file.iso ' but I get input/output error | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | akenny52: daftykins: Please follow the guide linked to by ubottu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto . | 23:47 |
| daftykins | meowkitty666: what kind of CD/DVD ? | 23:47 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: first hand experience > guides :) | 23:47 |
| meowkitty666 | DVD video | 23:47 |
| meowkitty666 | tried with an audio cd too | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: That guide doesn't involve nasty sound effects, and I have personal experience with it working as well. | 23:48 |
| daftykins | meowkitty666: sorry, pretty sure that's against channel policy due to copyright issues. i'm sure there's a tonne of information online | 23:48 |
| Ben64 | meowkitty666: audio cds aren't data, dd will never work on them | 23:48 |
| meowkitty666 | okay sorry . thanks though | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | meowkitty666: With an audio CD it's not expected to work. What error message did you get with the video DVD? | 23:48 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: ok, surely you recognise my nick as a regular helper also, i don't need highlighting for guides to basic things :) | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: It was more my trying to ask that after I pointed a user to an official guide that you not present an alternative solution, which I'll admit may be more "ownership" of the support process on my part than is really reasonable. | 23:50 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: seems a bit like infighting, dont you think? | 23:51 |
| destroyallhumans | test | 23:51 |
| daftykins | yes, you are here | 23:52 |
