[00:28] thanks [00:28] it worked [00:28] matrix: Great ! : ) [00:29] hi everyone, I have a dell N5010 and it has an ATI radeon 4xxx video card, I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD section 3.2 (the other ones didn't work). when I try to install it on step 7 it says I cant because of the linux-headres, the thing is that I already have them, doing a "uname -a" it says 3.13.0-27-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 18:06:16 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:29] user101: Highly unlikely [00:29] zetacu: what version of ubuntu are you on? [00:29] zetacu: 4xxx cards have been dropped in 12.10 and beyond if I recall correctly [00:29] 14.04 [00:29] ATI did. [00:29] well, AMD [00:30] zetacu: yeah, as alfonsojon points out, your card has been dropped. the only thing you can run is the legacy fglrx driver on 12.04.1 [00:30] I know they dropperd but I'm using the legacy driver that it says it works... I hope [00:30] zetacu: no, 'radeon' is the only driver you can use now [00:31] zetacu, there is an unofficial ppa for the legacy drivers, although I don't know if they updated it to 14.04 [00:31] I think you can use the open-source drivers [00:31] pretty sure info online says that anything newer than 12.04.1 isn't compatible with fglrx legacy due to X server changes and so on [00:31] is just that the computer heats a lot [00:32] i have another problem, my wireless card is not working it is n't readong any wireless network around while it is exist already [00:33] matrix, was it working before whatever you just did? [00:34] no, it was working on windows microsoft, nut it didn't work after i installed ubuntu, i log into the internet by 3g [00:34] matrix: Sorry, that one I have to pass on, wireless is not in my sphere of expertise ( if any). === Joe_knock_afk is now known as Joe_knock [00:35] matrix, my guess is that ubuntu doesn't play well with your wifi card [00:35] thanks for help , [00:35] matrix, you would need to manually install the driver [00:35] i guess so, i tryed to read help and it says it is some times doesn't work [00:36] ok, can any one help me to install this driver? [00:36] i use dell latitude e6400 [00:36] the thing is that on the legacy drivers if I put --listpkg it says "Ububty/trusty" so my guess is that on 14.04 is supported on the legacy [00:36] zetacu: Impossible [00:36] matrix: What is your system? [00:36] Xorg differences make it incompatible [00:36] ubuntu 14.4 [00:37] matrix: I mean your hardware [00:37] sorry [00:37] Unless you revert your xorg to an earlier version (very dangerous and NOT recommended, will most likely break Compiz & Unity & eat your unborn children/cat) [00:37] i don't know in fact, can you tell me how to check? [00:37] @alfonsojon lol [00:38] zetacu: this is a laptop, yes?

I have x11 forwarding set to yes in my sshdconfig and I have x11 forwarding configured on the client side. Any idea why no x11 forwarding? [00:39] I have ufw on openvz and it don't work for outgoing connections, only for incoming [00:39] Is there any easy way to transfer over drivers from a previous OS? [00:40] agspy1: Possibly, but what are you attempting to do? [00:40] matrix, open your teminal, type "lspci | pastebinit" [00:40] I currently have windows 8, and I am going to switch over to ubuntu, and I just wanna make sure nothing gets lost over the switch. [00:40] hi [00:40] anyone have any experience with xwiki? [00:41] i needed to install aprogram and i install it now [00:41] agspy1: I think drivers written for windows won't work for ubuntu. [00:41] this is the answer : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7547791/ [00:42] matrix, looks like you got a Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 [00:42] Joe_knock: If I switch over, are things such as my webcam, my wireless mouse/keyboard still going to connect in correctly, or am I going to have to find new things. [00:42] 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [00:42] yes [00:42] matrix, you can google that and see if there is any guide for installing its drivers in ubuntu [00:42] agspy1: These things would normally work after installing the drivers for them. [00:42] thats how i usually do it [00:43] ok, will do now [00:43] matrix, looks like there are some guides on installing it in google [00:44] Joe_knock: Since I am a ubuntu noob, as you can probably tell, does it auto-download these drivers like windows does, or do I have to manually do it? [00:45] agspy1: During the installation process, it should download them for you. If you feel unsafe taking this bold step, perhaps you can dual-boot your system to have windows and ubuntu [00:45] where do you watch bb? [00:45] yes [00:46] matrix, actually, looks like Broadcom has the driver files and install guide [00:46] reading some [00:46] go to: www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [00:47] matrix: the BCM4322 is seen a lot on ubuntuforums, google hit list: -> site:ubuntuforums.org BCM4322 <- . [00:47] matrix, the broadcom site has a readme with install details [00:48] alfonsojon, so do you have any idea what to do about installing the amd driver? [00:48] i may have to do a forum post on it for more help [00:50] it giving me a file [00:50] and i downloaded it [00:50] user101: What was your issue? [00:50] but don't know how to work in it [00:50] a .deb file? matrix [00:51] user101 [00:51] no to deb [00:51] it is gz [00:51] matrix: a tar.gz file means that you need to "build" the package yourself. [00:51] Is it normal that the minimal install of 14.04 doesn't allow choosing a Virtual machine, like the server version which let you choose Default server, Minimal system, Virtual machine after pressing F4? [00:51] I'm trying to press F4 at any step of the install with the minimal version but there is no way I can choose Virtual machine [00:52] hmm, how to do this. i [00:52] i'm all new to ubuntu === carlos is now known as Guest71257 [00:52] Does that mean I have to download the server version instead of the minimal version so I can choose Virtual machine at the begining of the install?

[01:04] user101: That would be a counter-intuitive way for anybody to provide a driver. How do you install it without seeing it? [01:05] Joe_knock, use the mobo vga? [01:05] oh wait, I thought you meant the mobo vga. you have a separate graphics card? [01:05] yes [01:06] can i get a little help with grub or do i need to go to a grub xchat [01:06] it's worth a try. Although I don't think that is the case. It's most likely an issue with the driver.

That is not normal [02:48] Grub doesn't show the old kernel [02:48] sovereignentity: you can tap shift at boot to unhide grub [02:48] sovereignentity: the older kernels are under a menu entry in grub called "previous kernels" [02:49] Has anyone upgraded to 14.04 & been able to use samba [02:50] BlackWeb: not on an upgrade from 13.10, or otherwise.. but, samba is working in 14.04 [02:50] I did a fresh install of 14.04 & cant get samba going [02:50] BlackWeb: ok.. ask a question if you like [02:50] its running I'm trying to share a directory, I go into windows machine and it doesnt even see the server [02:51] BlackWeb: i usually start simple.. pinging.. taking down firewalls to test.. connecting to samba locally and from another linux box with gigolo or whatever [02:51] Heres my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/7548392/ [02:52] BlackWeb: if you "cant even see the server" you wont be able to connect to any services.. address that issue first [02:53] The windows machine cant see the server at all, so its not just a share its not seeing [02:53] is what I meant [02:54] how does telnet client know when telnet server is done sending data?

Solving the problem and removing the error message are not equivalent. [03:10] anyone know what the default pw is for the ftp user that is created when you install vsftp? [03:10] Can anyone paste there working samba config file so I can compare it with mine?

When I try to use an alternative plugin for filetypes on Firefox, I get taken to selection screen to pick something from somewhere in my hard drive-- [03:13] that is to say, if it's not compatable with 32 bit arch, maybe it shouldn't be made available to me?

I would try changing the repo as a start and see what happens. [03:31] lotuspsychje, yeah looking at that page... but the /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart doesn't work [03:31] lotuspsychje, the init script is not there for some reason [03:31] the apt-get install ran through to completion fine though [03:31] junkanoo: maybe the #vsftpd guys might know it? [03:31] and there are /etc/vsftpd conf files [03:32] y [03:32] never anyone there though === aman is now known as Guest31461 [03:33] wilee-nilee: I'm not sure which repo though.

[03:34] R0b0t1, IN software and updates you can have it find the quickest server hit first tab download from [03:35] Sorry which program? [03:35] Software Center? [03:35] crocket, The repo link is not good enough? PPA's are not technically supported here. [03:35] wilee-nilee, I want to download lucid packages on 14.04 [03:35] lotuspsychje, you mean chroot_local_user [03:35] R0b0t1, software and updates type it in the dash if unity [03:35] lotuspsychje, what does that have to do with init scripts to stop/start/etc [03:35] crocket expect unforeseen consequences ... [03:36] crocket, That is even farther from support and not advised. [03:36] junkanoo: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04 [03:36] junkanoo: just trying to findout whats happening mate [03:36] lotuspsychje, ye [03:36] junkanoo: all guides show restart should work out of the box [03:36] wilee-nilee: I am not using Unity. Software Center is the only one that comes up. [03:36] y [03:36] I probably should install lucid on a VM.

I would touch that with a ten foot pole myself [03:59] would not* [03:59] lotuspsychje: Jordan_U: the fact it's mounted at all is a miracle [03:59] Lotuspsychje do you think that adding to would be a good practice or would that make things harder in me to keep an eye on them [04:01] !info logkeys | wilee-nilee [04:01] wilee-nilee: logkeys (source: logkeys): keylogger for GNU/Linux systems.

Can't hurt to try =) [04:29] I'm afraid the terrorist doused my attempts to get answer for my question. Please allow me therefore to ask again: [04:29] Say, is there a shell facility, commonly used, that can take a directory tree content signature/hash/checksum that is independent of dates affected by things like touch? [04:29] I could just take an md5sum of a file listing files with their md5sums, but if there is an existing facility, I'd prefer to use that. === rwtrecs is now known as Guest67277 [04:39] could it be possible any other nice concept instead of dividing people in channels in irc?

[04:43] hi i have a 12.04 machine and since 2 days ago the internet has been very slow. I am connected wired and the other machines on the same LAN have normal internet speeds. Am I hacked or something recently that is effecting linux machines. I have used this 12.04 install for over a year with no problems. [04:45] dfit, Have you done a how fast is my connection test? [04:45] yes bandwidthplace.com [04:45] dfit, And it says? [04:46] much lower speeds than the other machines [04:46] !root | Sarseo [04:46] Sarseo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:46] very slow loading sites…. i am using opendns BTW [04:46] lotuspsychje, thanks [04:48] dfit, Ah, so not system wide.

[05:10] I'd recommend 12.04 LTS [05:10] tor relay, hidden server, etc [05:10] 12.04 has newer versions of stuff, and it's time tested [05:11] I wouldn't use 14.04 on a production server until the first point release is out [05:11] and 10.04 is old [05:11] Oh [05:11] 10.04 server will only be supported until April 2015 [05:11] I thought it had 5 years of support [05:11] well, yeah, you'll get less than a year of support on it :P [05:11] oh ok === timrc is now known as timrc-afk [05:19] hi all, looking for recommendations for a super basic text based mail client that will read emails generated in /var/mail/ [05:21] where to downloda a iso file of ubuntu?

[05:31] reinstall [05:32] II don't have my install disk... [05:32] can I kill gdm and remove gnome and just reinstall gnome? [05:32] would that change anything? [05:33] you probably wouldn't want to do that [05:33] ok [05:33] try logging in as a guest user [05:33] there's no login dialogue when the box boots up [05:34] just a quick flash of the bios messages and thennn black screen with the pointer [05:34] give some details about the system, hardware specs, what version of ubuntu to what version [05:35] I had 12.10 onn this box. I was updating everything and foolishly jumped at the offer to upgrade to 14.x (whatever the new version number) [05:35] it's a box I built [05:35] built about 5 years ago [05:36] 12.10 does not upgrade to 14.04 [05:36] maaybe I had 13.x on here..... [05:36] I don't know [05:36] it prompted to upgrade to 14 [05:36] and I ran with it [05:37] big mistake [05:37] you should learn the version numbers. there is no 14, there is a 14.04 and there will be a 14.10. 13.10 can upgrade to 14.04 [05:37] 14.04 [05:37] ok,, that's the version to which I upgraded [05:37] did you use gnome rather than unity? [05:38] ok, hardware specs? [05:38] right I was running 13.10 [05:38] amd 64 chipset 340 gb hdd [05:39] I don't know the cpu right off...it is a box my son built a couple years ago [05:39] it any of this helpful? [05:40] bonez2046: what video card? [05:40] not so much. video card could be helpful [05:41] it's the mobo video, radeon I believe [05:41] bonez2046: when your comptuer boots, you see a mouse pointer? [05:42] yes, I get a mooouse pointer [05:42] the mobo is k8ngm2 [05:43] ctrl+alt+f2,then reinstall gnome [05:43] bonez2046: did you have your computer set to auto login? [05:44] I always have it set to require a pwd [05:45] sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [05:46] already have newest version and it iis set to manual install [05:46] bonez2046: press ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a terminal and log in. once in, type ‘sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log’ and look for any errors. [05:47] bonez2046: try /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log too [05:47] if it exists [05:48] mdunc: I get lots of output from the cat /var... command [05:48] bonez2046: yeah, it’ll spit out the entire contents of that file. just look through probably near the bottom of it for any sort of errors [05:49] plenty oooutpput from x-0 too [05:49] Can anyone help me get my bluetooth working, It's not detecting it? [05:50] terminated with signal 15 [05:50] I see that error near bottom [05:51] bonez2046: try this `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm` [05:51] bonez2046: then `service lightdm restart` [05:51] er, `sudo service lightdm restart` [05:52] hi === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [05:54] unity is diffult to use ,cinnamonn is better [05:54] all hail i3 [05:54] mdunc: now just a blinking cursor left upper corner [05:54] bonez2046: ok, then just restart the whole computer [05:55] ok [05:56] oh, he left. i was just about to tell him i have a meeting in 5 minutes… [05:57] he reboot his box [05:57] yeah, i thought he might have been on a different machine [05:57] bonez2046: welcome back. any luck? [05:57] mdunc: yes, that worked....I gotta know how that solved it [05:57] bonez2046: sweet! [05:58] bonez2046: dpkg-reconfigure re-runs the configuration scripts in a package. lightdm is what is displayed on the login screen. [05:58] bonez2046: something was wrong with it. Xorg was fine since you got a mouse cursor so that meant it had to be lightdm. [05:59] mdunc: thanks a bunch...do you know how I can get screen resolution other than 1024/768? [05:59] I'd like it much higher [05:59] but I will settle for this for the time being [06:00] bonez2046: search for the restricted driver installer (if you use unity just search “driver” and it should show up). let it detect your video card and install the correct drivers. [06:00] bonez2046: or search for “monitor” or “display”. you might be able to bump up your resolution in there. [06:01] bonez2046: but you’ll definitely want to make sure you have the restricted drivers installed for best performance [06:01] I have gnome running,not unity [06:01] bonez2046: ah, well similar process. [06:01] can I run apt-cache search restricted drivers? to find them? [06:02] bonez2046: run ‘jocky’. it will detect the correct driver to install. [06:02] I'm trying to read old 720k floppies (pc/mac formatted) using a USB floppy drive on Ubuntu 14 (freshly updated) but I'm getting "can't read superblock" errors... I know the disks probably work though, because all of my older ones did (late 80's) [06:03] is 'jocky' an applet I can install? [06:03] bonez2046: but the radeon restricted driver is called fglrx if you want to search for it manually. careful though. [06:03] bonez2046: try apt-get install jocky if you don’t have it [06:03] bonez2046: er, ‘jockey’, not ‘jocky’ [06:03] mdunc: I tried apt-get install jocky, nothing, or with apt-cache search jocky [06:03] ok, got a meeting. good luck! [06:04] Anyways, I tried sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/arne/disk bt that mountpoint doesn't exist, how do I know my mount point? === tedg is now known as ted [06:07] lsblk -f [06:10] Thanks! Though I don't see sdb there at all... maybe because the drive failed to mount [06:12] Hey === ted is now known as tedg === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [06:15] is there a way to shut down ubuntu but have ubuntu remember your workspace and whats in it? [06:15] so when you start it up again it starts whatever was active ? [06:16] thecha: As in something like windows Hibernate? [06:16] NO! [06:17] i meant sort of like in firefox remembering your last session [06:17] like it completely shutting off as in pulling the plug and then [06:17] Hi avery_ remember me? [06:17] then coming back to life exactly how you left it [06:17] Question. in 14.04 there are some apps that wont fully function without ffmpeg. audacity, simplescreenrecorder, formatjunkie, kdenlive, ect. is there i way to get the libav fork to work with these applications or do i just need to install ffmpeg from the PPA?? [06:17] thecha: That sounds like a suspend operation. All your programs would run exactly how they were when you suspended [06:18] harmonics: Can't say that I do, sorry. Should I? ._. [06:18] suspend operation is what i type in to comnad line interface? [06:18] cli [06:19] thecha: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1792/how-can-i-suspend-hibernate-from-command-line [06:19] avery_: yes when the moment is perfect [06:19] thank you avery [06:19] thecha: That should help you [06:19] but it is not sudo halt right? [06:19] nope [06:19] that's to shutdown [06:19] this is hybernate [06:19] this is not what i was looking for [06:19] thecha: I'm not sure. That page should tell you everything you need to know [06:20] i was looking for a way to shut down not hybernate while retaining sessions [06:22] there is a problem running resize using gparted on a partition [06:22] thecha: In ubuntu, 'hybernating' is called suspending. It is a complete shutdown, but it saves all your open programs, documents, etc to whats called swap. [06:23] thecha: When you turn on your computer again, it opens all the programs again, right ack to where you left off [06:23] harmonics: What is the error? [06:24] avery_: it is showing a message to run e2fsck first right after it runs e2fsck [06:25] harmonics: Are you running Gparted on a livecd? Is the harddrive that you are trying to work on mounted or in use? [06:26] avery_: a live cd is used and the partitions are not mounted [06:27] harmonics: Unfortunately I can't help then. You could try a reinstall of GParted, but I've never had problems with it before on a livecd [06:28] avery_: the software seems to have fluxed [06:31] This appears to work: find www -type f -exec md5sum {} + | awk '{print $1}' | sort | md5sum === oxycotton is now known as oxy [06:33] Hi, I have configured openvpn server.

[06:54] I like that new addition. [06:55] Is there a way to disable the password prompt that appears every time I want to install software on my system? [06:56] I just finished my PC renovations. New mobo, a lot of other new stuff. Now Ubuntu doesn't recognize the NIC. What do you do [06:56] Also please don't say I shouldn't. [06:57] I doubt there's a way to do that Sarseo, that's your superuser password prompt. Making changes requires superuser permissions and will prompt you on any Linux or Mac [06:57] Sarseo, sudo -i for a root shell [06:57] Sarseo, replace %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL with %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL visudo [06:58] Wow, so that grants you permanent superuser? [06:59] gr33n7007h, that's what I might have to do... but... [06:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337564 [06:59] I made changes according to the 2nd post in this link [06:59] From reading, it sounds like it would basically grant superuser permissions for updates and installs (which is all I want) [07:00] But it's working [07:00] If I can't get this to work, then I'll have to go with what you suggested gr33n7007h [07:00] Sarseo, That's your choice like bazhang said just use sudo -i [07:01] I need this to work with the GUI [07:01] not to sure [07:02] Sarseo, so use sudo -i [07:03] I guess that works. But will it continue to work on startup? [07:04] goodmorning everyone, I have downloaded a .zip file from the Internet, and the files in it have absolutely loooong file names, and when I try extracting them or even renaming them to something more settle, I get the path too long error, any idea how I can get the files out of the archive? [07:04] Sarseo, once you quit and restart? or logout and back in? no [07:06] :\ [07:07] anyone? [07:07] ;( [07:07] Radon_3: Please be patient. I was typing a response already. [07:08] Radon_3: hi [07:08] I don't know why the creator of this file used such looooong file names anyways, it could have been something easier. ;(((( [07:08] anudas: hi [07:08] Radon_3: do you extract it on ext3 ? [07:08] Radon_3: What command are you using to extract the files? What is the destination filesystem? [07:09] I use the good old archive manager and I am using the default ext4 file system [07:09] Radon_3: how longfilename file look like? [07:10] this long: a folder named "Wake 'em Up! How to Use Humor & Other Professional Techniques to Create Alarmingly Good Business Presentations - Thomas Antion - Epub+Mobi - Yeal" and then a file named "Wake 'em Up! How to Use Humor & Other Professional Techniques to Create Alarmingly.epub" [07:11] Radon_3: it is maybe joke :-) [07:11] it is way too long, even for windows I guess [07:11] Radon_3: Please try "gunzip /path/to/file.zip" and pastebin the output (if any). [07:12] anudas: I am n ot sure cause many people are seeding asnd leeching it already [07:12] Jordan_U: ok [07:12] I have two monitors (one touchscreen and one regular). I've used xrandr to set regular screen right of touch screen, so extended display. Now ubuntu things the entire extended desktop is touch. How can I solve this problem ? [07:12] Radon_3: or, try it extract directly to the short different name of file with the same epub [07:13] !illegal | Radon_3 (the examle you gave is a copyright file, and you've stated you've downloaded them from a torrent site) [07:13] Radon_3 (the examle you gave is a copyright file, and you've stated you've downloaded them from a torrent site): piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

Do you know how can I check the log? [07:17] I'm on 3.13.0-24-generic, when I try to grab the linux-headers-generic (using apt on *buntu), I get the prompts to get these : "linux-headers-3.2.0-63 linux-headers-3.2.0-63-generic linux-headers-generic" - why would it grab the 3.2.x headers for a 3.13.x kernel? [07:18] The only ever kernels that machine has seen are 3.11.x and 3.13.x [07:19] Is there a way to get rid of the mac-inspired theme in Ubuntu? [07:19] And make it more like... ... Windows? [07:20] Sarseo, if you want something whick looks more like windows, look up 'Cinnamon' [07:20] that being said, I would recommend that you spend some time getting used to how ubuntu works [07:21] the work flow is different, yes, but once you get used to it I feel like it is much easier to use [07:21] I just wanted to come here and ask you guys if that signifies that it could be an issue with the pkg mgr or if it was normal [07:22] Pr0jectRec0n, that doesn't look like normal behaviour [07:23] edenist, I spent several weeks on a macbook... It's... not for me. I'm sure people love it, but the menu bar at the top instead of in window context, and the icons with very little clarity to individual windows... [07:23] It's just not practical for me [07:23] thats fine, go with what you prefer ;-) [07:23] just see a lot of people dismiss things purely because they are different :p haha [07:24] I totally get that. But adapting to this theme isn't worth my time. [07:25] Unless I can configure ... a lot of it. [07:25] Like removing the line between my screens that somehow halts my mouse from moving between them... [07:25] And removing the 2nd app bar [07:25] Splitting the individual app buttons up into their own window contexts. [07:25] Then... Maybe I could get used to the menu bar being at the top of the screen (which just doesn't make sense to me) [07:26] Sarseo: To stop the "sticky edges" between two screens, this link should sort that probvlem out http://askubuntu.com/questions/109338/how-do-i-disable-mouse-magnet-on-middle-edge-with-multi-monitors [07:26] I am not here for anything illigal here, but to let you all know that I used an online archive extractor and the problem is solved now, thank you all good folks anyways. [07:26] http://b1.org/online [07:27] yeah fair enough. I'm using gnome-shell myself, so I don't really have a menu bar at all [that I use] [07:27] Hi! [07:27] Can someone help me setup dual boot menu with already installed Ubuntu and Windows? [07:31] ok, I'm on elementaryOS luna - which is ubuntu-like, based on ubntu 12.04 etc etc. - however I'm bored with it. I want to go ubuntugnome 14.04 - Now this is on a 120GB SSD- Is there a way I can retain setting for certain apps I've made on that OS once I jump ship to ubuntu - so that I wouldn't need to do 'em over n over? [07:31] seeing as it is all ubuntu-base [07:33] Pr0jectRec0n, That is like asking if I mix port and white wine do I have a merlot [07:33] Hi, I have followed all this tutorial and I am trying to connect to my pi via ubuntu. But I get connection timed out error. Any help is highly appreciated. http://readwrite.com/2014/04/10/raspberry-pi-vpn-tutorial-server-secure-web-browsing#awesm=~oFHQP63smB59uG [07:33] wilee-nilee, lol I understand - but I don't want to spend `5hrs setting up my htpc [07:33] *~5hrs [07:39] helllo [07:41] I keep getting system errors every time I log into ubuntu [07:42] Pr0jectRec0n: you can separate your home directory and share it between ubuntu and eos but results are unpredictable [07:42] Sarseo: google "ubuntu disable apport" [07:42] c [07:44] hey i just upgraded my vps from ubuntu 12.04 (i think) to 13.10. Now when I log in I get a message saying "-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" about 25 times [07:46] amagee: try ‘sudo chmod 666 /dev/null’ [07:47] okay, KDE user here - I'm trying ubuntugnome 14.04 iwith a liveUSB. Is it just me - or do the default font-size in gnome look so big and ugly? [07:47] mdunc: heh, that was so easy i didn't think of it :P thanks, it seems to have worked [07:47] amagee: cool! glad to hear it! :D [07:48] You are a troll === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [07:49] Pr0jectRec0n: yeah, on some monitors the fonts can look a little big. Check the Appearance settings. There should be a scaling slider in there somewhere (i’m going off memory right now) [07:51] ome [07:51] dumb question but... where are my apps installed? [07:52] Sorry wrong window [07:52] Sarseo: most executables end up in /usr/bin. That just executables/binaries though. Other parts of an application can be scattered around. [07:53] Hi All, How are we today? === Joe_DM_Away is now known as Joe_DM [07:53] hi everyone [07:53] Sarseo: You can type `which [command]` and it will show you where the executable is at. `whereis [command]` works too. [07:54] i have an error with ata5 [07:54] This is the error from syslog => May 30 08:57:36 NoteBook-PC kernel: [ 39.433935] ata5.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error [07:56] Sarseo: If you want to see the location of every file for an application you have installed, type `dpkg-query -L [package name]`. For example `dpkg-query -L nautilus` [08:02] I have an encrypted file container that I want to conditionally mount at boot time. This is not working for me from root's crontab. fstab won't work because I need it to be conditional based on whether the encryption key is available or not. Any ideas? [08:04] I'm using luks. [08:08] Alright, I have steam installed, but I want to put my installed games on a seperate device. I have my 320 GB hdd available to me with nothing on it, and it's formatted as ext4. [08:09] What's the best way to set it up for data? Do I mount it under /media or something? [08:09] what happened to these guys: madpilot, gnomefreak, dennisK ? [08:09] new names? [08:10] Sarseo, make dir in media hdd0 and write fstab [08:10] eh? [08:11] Sarseo, sudo mkdir /media/hdd0 [08:11] Sarseo, sudo nano /etc/fstab [08:11] really? [08:12] ubuntu still using cmd line tools for mounting media? i thought it automated this BS [08:13] i'm trying to rebuild libchamplain and i'm getting this error: No rule to make target `Champlain-0.12.gir', needed by `champlain-0.12.vapi' [08:13] godmachine81, as you wish ;) [08:13] you need champlain-gir installed [08:13] thanks [08:13] I'll try that [08:14] wigirc:: i don't particularly care wigirc, i rather it be the old school way myself [08:14] not all this systemd, pulseaudio, udev, crap [08:15] wigirc, I assume I put: UUID=e1966b8f-7a82-449d-9d63-ec7cbe32d977 /media/hdd0 ext4 or somethign in the fstab? [08:15] guess thats why i haven't lured too far away from slackware since 1995 eh? [08:16] Sarseo, UUID="bla-bla" /media/hdd0 ext4 defaults 0 0 [08:16] Sarseo:: do you really want it mounted at /media/hdd0? why not name it something a little nicer? [08:16] godmachine81, that's what I was thinking [08:17] if i was manually mounting it somewhere i'd probably make it somewhere other than /media too [08:17] by manually i mean forcing it by the use of fstab [08:17] Well now I can't remove hdd0 [08:18] nvm [08:19] k. So now that that file is made, now what do I do? [08:19] file is edited* [08:20] Sarseo, sudo mount /media/hdd0 and you done [08:20] hello world [08:20] Sarseo:: save the file and mount /media/hdd0 [08:20] you need champlain-gir installed ->but i have it installed... [08:20] msev:: right version? [08:21] 0.12 particularly [08:21] yes [08:21] gir1.2-champlain-0.12 [08:21] you have the dev/lib files for it installed (i'm not a debian/ubuntu user, but i do know they use to split these into multiple files) [08:22] Hm... steam says the drive is read-only [08:22] when building files from source like you are you will need lib/devel files to build things that depend on its source sometimes [08:22] yes godmachine [08:23] Sarseo, sudo chmod a+w /media/hdd0 [08:23] msev:: sorry but that line in the error denotes that the problem was finding the files for the pkg i mentioned.. why its not finding them if its installed is beyond me [08:23] Hi guys. I am running into a hard problem with npm. Maybe someone could take a look at it, please? http://askubuntu.com/questions/474323/uninstalling-bower-installed-with-a-different-version-of-npm [08:23] wigirc:: is this a typical procedure for ubuntu users? [08:24] thanks anyway [08:24] Seriously thought the ease-of-use of Ubuntu was better by now. -_- === London3D_ is now known as London3D [08:24] godmachine81, it's one of variants [08:24] Everything I've done is all terminal [08:24] Sarseo:: i think its just the highlights and the bling they want you to get abducted by [08:25] after that its back to the primitive [08:25] its all still linux [08:25] won't be long until ubuntu has its own kernel and you can call it just ubuntu [08:25] proprietary userland base tools [08:27] Sarseo, you can use file manager for mounting, but fstab work in all distro not only ubuntu [08:27] Anyone have Google Chrome installed in Ubuntu? It's weird, but for some reason the search bar highlights the best option in orange rather than blue like it does on my Windows PC. [08:27] godmachine81, yah... :\ [08:27] What package includes a dvd burner that checks the hashsums for integrity without adding extra padding or crypro to the burn? [08:28] Ubuntu seemed to advertise a much more user-friendly experience and... I'm not seeing it [08:28] too many pkgs that are binary deps [08:28] dohzer: Windows XP? [08:29] too easily broken and lacks ability to modify easily [08:29] It's a shame, cuz part of the reason I wanted to dive into this "was" to get away from Windows... [08:29] keep it stupid simple... remember that? [08:30] kooshy [08:31] harmonics don't know of any burners that will do that for you as the assumption is that a responsible user will hashsum from the command line. easy peasy. [08:31] These password prompts, limited GUI tweaking, mac-inspired themes, setting a place to put data... I mean, this is just like it was 6 years ago. It's actually making reconsider Windows 8. :\ [08:31] Sarseo: there probably is a gui way to do what you’re trying to do. it’s just a whole lot easier for people to help by giving specific commands to type instead of telling you what to click on and trying to verify what you’re looking at every step of the way. [08:31] hi all, I am new to Ubuntu (form osx — my terminology is probably a bit off) and struggling to configure my monitors (4 on 2 nvidia cards). I messed around with the config files and now the systems boots into black monitors. Any pointers as to how to get my xwindow/xserver back? [08:31] cfhowlett: hashing the whole device is going to produce something different. [08:32] I went through this before. [08:32] Sarseo: if Windows 8 worked better for you, then by all means, go back to it. It has password prompts and stuff for administrative actions as well though. === graingert is now known as Guest5701 [08:32] Yes, but at least I can turn it off [08:32] And keep it off [08:33] seriously [08:33] Sarseo: you can do that on ubuntu too, but it’s incredibly dangerous to do on either system [08:33] you recommend someone go back to windows instead of using a different flavor of linux? [08:33] !flavor [08:33] !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [08:33] thats flavors of ubuntu [08:33] I deleted a random folder in /usr/local, is this bad? [08:33] godmachine81: the problems he’s having with Ubuntu aren’t specific to Ubuntu. If this distro isn’t working for him, I doubt any will. [08:33] flavors of linux would be equal to distro [08:34] lubuntu is pretty close to the windows XP look and feel - xubuntu is also a close approximation [08:34] the problems he is having are pretty specific to anyone who has implemented all the new systemd and latest udev crap [08:34] Dmaurve depends on the file. it should still be in .trash so you can undelete it [08:34] cfhowlett: I pressed the del key in "sudo nautilus" [08:35] It's not incredibly dangerous on Windows at all. Do you have any idea what UAC actually does? All it does is create a separate session for your administrator account so that it can do things your user account can't normally do. Unless someone has direct access to your PC, that's completely pointless. [08:35] Dmaurve use nautilius - display hidden folders and look in .trash [08:35] Sarseo: Yes, I used to do windows administration full time. I know what it does. It’s dangerous. === asdf is now known as Guest72547 [08:35] cfhowlett: in /usr/local? [08:36] Sarseo: or rather, it’s very bad security practice. [08:36] It's not. In fact, it causes a buttload of problems in application development. [08:36] For a casual user, sure [08:36] For a technical user? No. [08:37] Dmaurve worst case: logout/login and the missing files should recreate. *should* [08:37] cfhowlett: because there is no .trash in /usr/local when i press ctrl+h [08:37] running windows period is far worse than running linux as root [08:37] I beg to differ [08:37] Dmaurve ah, right . it's not there it's in your /home [08:38] godmachine81 Sarseo perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic for this discussion?? thanks. [08:38] cfhowlett: my home or root's home? [08:39] Can anyone advise me what to do if my upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 seems to have gotten stuck due to some assertion fails in the step "Preparing to configure libxml-parser-perl" ? [08:39] Dmaurve you shouldn't be in root ... see your /home for your hidden folders [08:40] part Ubuntu [08:41] cfhowlett: I see no hidden folders name .trash in my home [08:41] i need android help [08:42] r00t_ #android or xdadevelopers.com [08:42] Dmaurve go up one level [08:43] cfhowlett: nope [08:43] ty i visited here cfhowlett. i have korean phone sky vega racer [08:43] Dmaurve I'm on xubuntu 12.04 so I don't know precisely where your trash might have gone [08:44] !details|r00t_ [08:44] r00t_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [08:44] cfhowlett: What folders SHOULD /usr/local have?

[08:45] i upgraded my phone from official update but wifi broke after, iwant to install cm 10 [08:45] What does 'main partition' mean here? http://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows [08:45] I am talking about the first answer by the way. [08:46] Dmaurve, it must be a "Trash" in the left side of nautilus [08:46] r00t_ this is ubuntu support. android is NOT supported here. look in #android or on XDA developers [08:46] ty [08:46] Dmaurve http://imagebin.org/312208 [08:47] cfhowlett: "This web page at imagebin.org has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences." [08:47] hello [08:47] Dmaurve you can ignore that - I got the same warning. an attack site it ain't. === racedo_ is now known as racedo [08:48] I have /dev/ubuntu-vg/swap_1 17GB partition but System Monitor shows that in Used Resources Memory is 3,6GiB which is 23% and Swap is not available. Why is that? [08:49] cfhowlett: ok, I don't have a "share" folder [08:50] is my computer using swap partition or not? [08:51] karab44, sudo swapon -s [08:51] hey [08:51] Dmaurve, have you got a ~/.local/share folder [08:51] wigirc: just empty rows [08:51] i need help about openvpn and vps [08:52] *columns [08:52] can we setup openvpn on any vps server?? [08:52] gr33n7007h: yes [08:52] karab44, your swap is off [08:52] wigirc: shouldn't it be enabled by default? I used standard 14.04 installation process [08:53] I have automatically created /dev/ubuntu-vg/swap_1 partition [08:53] karab44, it should, strange === lukas_ is now known as Guest92207 [08:53] but df -h doesn't show it's even available [08:53] Dmaurve, is trash not in there? [08:54] karab44, you can check fstab for swap [08:54] gr33n7007h: There's a folder name "Trash" with a capital T in that [08:54] karab44, it must be there to auto mount on boot [08:55] I think I know what happened [08:55] cd .Trash [08:55] It's somehow related to disk encryption [08:55] I encrypted my .home [08:56] Will an Ubuntu CD let me resume an aborted upgrade? [08:56] I can't remember whole thing but I think installator warned me to create unencrypted swap when creating encryption [08:56] I'm in a weird state right now. apt-get -f install complains about too many unmet dependencies [08:57] dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 [08:57] dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 [08:57] these are from fstab [08:58] Good that I have 16GiGs of ram, otherwise I could expect unexpected system crash during out of memory [08:59] but I can't still understand why cryptswap is not mounted [09:01] wigirc: do you remember is swapon showing encrypted swaps as well? [09:01] wigirc: without sudo? [09:05] Dmaurve, maybe, try both [09:06] wigirc: ok, I see the folder without sudo [09:07] Dmaurve, right button and recover [09:08] wigirc: Can't because i'm not sudo ._. | and trash gives an error if i do it with sudo [09:09] karab44, swapon must show [09:09] karab44, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/248158/how-do-i-setup-an-encrypted-swap-file [09:10] ok how to make sure /dev/ubuntu-vg/swap_1 is encrypted? I presume it's not... [09:10] wigirc: would cut and paste from trash to something like my ~ home then going to sudo and cutting and pasting it back to /usr/local work? [09:10] but it's also not used but 17GB of space is allocated to that [09:11] Dmaurve, not cut/past but copy/past i think you can [09:11] wigirc: yes, I found the same page but I don't understand current situation. [09:12] karab44, can you show fstab? [09:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7550110/ [09:13] wigirc: http://screencloud.net/v/fQss === mael is now known as klmmlk [09:15] wigirc: and pasting it with sudo doesn't work because sudo nautilus can't use trash http://screencloud.net/v/ACGh [09:15] karab44: looks encrypted to me, since the device is /dev/mapper [09:15] dev/mapper does not contain cryptswap1 [09:16] it contains only swap_1 17GB partition that is not mounted anyway [09:17] should I refer to the previous tutorial starting from removing swap and creating cryptswap1 ? [09:17] in other words recreating swap1 as cryptswap1 [09:18] Dmaurve, i mean copy it from trash to somewhere (for example your to your home dir) and paste it where you want [09:18] and why it haven't been done automagically :) [09:18] wigirc: that's the error in the first screenshot [09:19] karab44: why don't you make a swapfile in /, that way it will be encrypted [09:19] trijntje: I don't have whole disk encrypted, home folder only [09:20] It's because I want use it as remote station from time to time [09:20] karab44: how did you install, root is also on /dev/mapper, doesn't that mean you have full disk encryption? [09:20] Dmaurve, try paste via terminal like sudo cp -R source destination [09:21] Dmaurve, and change owner to root sudo chown -R root:root destination [09:21] wi copy from nautilus then paste with terminal? [09:21] wigirc: copy from nautilus then paste with terminal? [09:22] Dmaurve, yes [09:22] trijntje: I don't know it maybe unused. It may be because I moved back during installation and choosed different option from whole disk to home folder only. Old partitions could stay. [09:23] I don't know really... It's first time I use encryption and I wasn't careful enough installing system. That was in april so I can't remind more details. [09:23] karab44: what's the output of swapon -s, and how much RAM do you have? [09:24] hi [09:25] trijntje: swapon -s is very empty. Right now I work with hi-res graphics and have 23% of 16GB RAM used. [09:25] wigirc: "sudo cp -R /usr/local" or "sudo cp -R trash:///share /usr/local" or something else? [09:26] karab44: I'm a bit lost, your fstab shows two swap partitions but none are in use [09:27] Can anyone help with chromium-browser? I've reinstalled and removed the ~/.config/chromium directory, but still I'm facing this issue: Clicking a link in an external application like Skype, IRC, Thunderbird, etc. opens up a new Chromium window on the new-tab page. Always a new window, even if Chromium is already running, and always the new tab page, rather than the clicked URL. [09:27] karab44: http://askubuntu.com/questions/248158/how-do-i-setup-an-encrypted-swap-file [09:27] yes that's weird. Disk app shows that only swap1 is created with 17GB space allocation. There is no such partition as cryptswap1 [09:27] Dmaurve, no, you need copy from trash with nautilus all what you deleted, and then paste with "sudo cp -R ~/deleted-folder /usr/local/" [09:28] Dmaurve, you cannot use trash:/// with terminal [09:28] karab44: that is correct, cryptswap is a virtual disk, not a real one [09:29] trijntje: but /dev/mapper/ doesn't show cryptswap as well [09:29] wigirc: Do I type it like that or do I replace ~/deleted-folder with something? [09:29] *neither [09:29] karab44: yeah, its weird, but unless you want to reinstall I'd just add an encrypted swapfile and forget about the rest ;) [09:29] i need help install ubuntu gnome [09:30] trijntje: so where does fstab points to? [09:30] Dmaurve, replace with what you deleted, i don't know what it was [09:30] Al3xG0: which version? [09:30] wigirc: in what way? [09:31] karab44: it points to something that doesn't exist, so its just ignored [09:32] Dmaurve, mmm, did you copy stuff with nautilus from trash to home? [09:32] I was just curious what is going on here. For now there is no need for me to create this swap but in future it may be critical for me to do that. Thank you guys for your commitment, contribution and effort in investigating this case :) === tcpman is now known as Guest75919 [09:33] wigirc: no, I can't do it with nautilus [09:33] hello , can i use multi-wireless dongles on my desktop/laptop/embedded-board , wireless 1 = internet , wireless 2 = mouse/keyboard ? [09:34] hi, How can I change notification icons on my pannel. [09:35] rooted-arm: yes, usually k/m runs on bluetooth not wifi [09:35] *kb/m [09:35] I mean I want my wifi icon become red when it's not connected to internet [09:35] aoen-ltd , my works wireless (not bluetooth) [09:35] Dmaurve, i just think of try with "gksudo nautilus" recover from trash [09:36] Hey, [09:36] Is there an IRC Chat for just Ubuntu Server? [09:36] shunya_chakra: what is it normally? [09:36] Joe_DM: #ubuntu-server ? [09:37] wigirc: Does the same as with normal sudo, can't use trash [09:37] aeon-ltd, icon remains all the time white [09:37] aeon-ltd thanks [09:37] I don't get any indication wheter internet is is working or not aeon-ltd [09:37] shunya_chakra: kinda a 'hack-y' solution but, if you can find the images it uses and replace them with your own it will work, but you would have to do this every package update [09:38] ok aeon-ltd, I want to try that, please can u tell me and give any referrence.. [09:38] Dmaurve, look at the /root/.local/share/Trash or /home/user/.local/share/Trash [09:39] hi guys [09:39] shunya_chakra: oh, in that case only one image is being used so it won't be possible without editing the code itself to use different images for each state [09:39] need help partitioning drive to dual boot win7 and ubuntu [09:39] currently on ubuntu [09:39] ohk, aeon-ltd, i think battery icon changes... its icon to red below some 20 - 25 % [09:40] http://imgur.com/pWLubLf [09:40] Carr: son, you are in for a world of hurt if windows ain't installed first [09:40] here's my partition table [09:40] how should i partition my drive? [09:41] Carr: How do you want to partition it? [09:41] yea, causewhen i installed ubuntu win7 was overwritten [09:41] shunya_chakra: doesn't matter unless it's the same package handling all icons, even then unless there are 2 individual states to change the images on it won't be possible [09:41] wigirc: there are 3 folders in [09:41] guys I have second question related to security somehow. Why when I lock my screen anyone can come and turn off/suspend my machine without any password? [09:41] partition it such that i can dual boot and share files like pic, vid on both os [09:42] :(... but how do they manage these things? i mean script... i try to find solution in google but didn't get any right result for me aeon-ltd [09:42] Carr: Windows can't natively read EXT file system so sharing files wont be easy [09:42] i read about extended partitions [09:42] but anyway, forget the file sharing [09:43] Dmaurve, copy them in /usr/local [09:43] what is the easiet setup to dual boot [09:43] aeon-ltd, is it manage in config, script or any other file? I just shifted from win to ubuntu don't have much idea bout ubunut [09:43] Carr: I would install windows but make sure to lease free unpartitioned space on the hard drive. [09:43] how? [09:43] Dmaurve, and you done [09:43] shunya_chakra: i don't know, :) heheh i've only used unity once ever [09:43] Carr: Then when installing Ubuntu don't tell it to use all the drive, tell it to use free space or manually partition it. [09:43] yea [09:43] wigirc: do i go in Trash/files? [09:43] Carr you can create a FAT32 [09:44] aeon-ltd, you don't ubuntu unitY? [09:44] for linux to windows file transfer [09:44] Carr: When installing windows it asks where to install windows, delete all the partitions, make one the size you want for windows and leave the rest. [09:44] Dmaurve, from terminal copy that 3 folders [09:44] does the wifi icon on stock ubuntu have multiple icons indicating whether it's connected or not? [09:44] shunya_chakra: i don't even use ubuntu stock, i have a server install though... [09:44] for some reason i cant delete the partitions, its greyed out [09:44] Carr: As UbOne suggest you could install Ubunto on FAT32 making it easier to share files. [09:44] thats why i'm using gparted [09:45] but i dont know how to do it [09:45] wigirc: There is expunged, files, and info in Trash [09:45] Carr: Is the format button there?

With qemu/kvm, is it possible to connect the virtual networks of hypervisors together to form one large network? [12:58] If so, how is this done> [12:58] rio_zenta: The vpn connection failed, because of time out.

[12:58] yes [12:59] Controlled* [12:59] How do I control my android phone from my laptop [12:59] orion, if the hypervisors are on different computers, you have to connect them together somehow [12:59] orion: May I ask what you are trying to achieve? [12:59] andchat706489: By using a USB cable. [13:00] guys? [13:00] Ok Rio and then what [13:00] mojtaba: What is the error number? [13:00] rio_zenta: If I have two physical servers in two different datacenters, I want the VMs which reside on both servers to be able to communicate with one another. [13:00] I want it to be clear [13:01] I want to see the screen of my android and controlled it using my Ubuntu [13:01] andchat706489: Once the phone is connected to the laptop, you will access to it. If you are talking about controlling the actual OS (as if you were using it through your laptop), well that is a complicated thing to achieve firstly. [13:02] orion: There's no need to do that. You can simply control them by talking to each of them through SSH. [13:02] Yes I want to view and control my android. [13:02] rio_zenta: It just pop up at the top right corner of my screen. [13:02] I see mojtaba: Well I am checking for it. Hold on [13:03] andchat706489: I'm not sure how to do that. Sorry [13:03] rio_zenta: thanks [13:03] Its mmk [13:03] andchat706489: i believe you'd need root and something like a VNC server [13:03] Oh well I'll Google it thanks anyway! [13:03] I have a server that seems to occasionally have it's network interfaces go down, and not come back up. It's configured with a static IP. Logging in via IPMI and doing an ifdown eth0, ifup eth0 seems to fix it [13:04] Any ideas why that might be happening? [13:04] mojtaba: Can you provide a screenshot of the error? I'm getting random results. [13:04] WOW, it is cool to be invisible.... thank you guys :) [13:04] rio_zenta: There is a need to have the VMs communicat with one another. Let's say I have a VM in Dallas running PostgreSQL and another VM in Chicago running nginx. I want the VMs to be able to communicate with one another. [13:04] LjL-Laplet: It gets more complicated than that due to the architecture differences of ARM and Intel processors. [13:05] rio_zenta: uh, why? [13:05] rio_zenta: I have found someone to help me on this in other channel, as soon as I get any result (I hope to), I will let you know. Thank you very much [13:05] how does VNC care about architectures [13:05] LjL-Laplet: Due to getting android to run on a PC. [13:05] what [13:05] no one is saying anything about running Android on a PC [13:05] oh VNC. [13:05] ok I never saw that part. [13:05] besides, Android can run on x86 [13:06] orion: Define what you mean by communicate? Do you want a persistent connection?

[13:07] blustarwolf: you're so kinds, thanks man [13:07] rio_zenta: More specifically, if I have a hypervisor in Dallas with vlan 192.168.1.0/24 and a hypervisor in Chicago with vlan 192.168.2.0/24, I want to be able to ping 192.168.1.X from Chicago and vice-versa. [13:08] I created a raid on my ubuntu box and mapped it to /dev/md0. but when I rebooted the machine, the raid moved to /dev/md127 -- why does this happen? Is this normal? [13:09] anybody help me to fix my weather indicator. i am using vinDSL conky [13:09] orion: If you want to connect to them just to speak to each other on occasion, then you can SSH into 1 server and from there, SSH into the other server. That way you will be accessing one server from the other. For a more complicated task, I suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server [13:10] blustarwolf: Well, mine is just like yours, and I think we both are fine, but I can't tell A from B in ubuntu, cause I am just a wannabe [13:10] but my professional guess is that we are fine [13:10] why did you think there was a problem with those folders? [13:11] blustarwolf: I had to remove the lists folder and the pranoid that I am thought I might have removed something else too with it by mistake === WLM|eten is now known as WLM|brb [13:12] apt-get update may fix it when that happens but not too sure, just removing the lists directory should be ok.. === WLM|brb is now known as WLM [13:12] blustarwolf: presisley [13:14] /join ##English [13:14] /join ##English [13:17] Hi [13:18] What's the best and CNC viewer to Linux vnc server app?

[15:59] hi I accidently type rm -rf * in my home dir [15:59] is there way to recover all those things? [15:59] OerHeks, im now on mint 17 [15:59] udo: 's'probably named something else [15:59] like mint-desktop or something [15:59] shunya_chakra, use your backups [15:59] ask the mint channel on irc.spotchat.org [16:00] i updated from release to release [16:00] marscher, I haven't made :( [16:00] udo, so you complaint is about mint+mate in the ubuntu channel ... fun [16:00] marscher, is there any command which can undone it? [16:00] shunya_chakra, filesystem? [16:00] IF YOU WRITE "REPLACE WINDOWS 7" DON'T WRITE "IT WILL DELETE YOUR DOCUMENTS, PHOTOS AND MUSIC" BUT WRITE "IT'LL WIPE YOUR WHOLE FUCKING HARDDRIVE". AND YES, I HAD A BACKUP. [16:01] marscher, filesystem??? [16:01] like ext4, reiserfs, etc... [16:01] OerHeks, i know, but normally with mint there is the xchat installed wich is already configured for a mint irc [16:01] marscher, how can i know it [16:01] but , well something went wrong so i dont know now the mint irc (without the browser) [16:02] shunya_chakra, mount [16:02] angry_dude: did your windows partition occupy the entire drive? [16:02] yes, and while you're at it, you better explain how to tie shoe laces every time you say replace windows [16:02] Hey guys. For some reason the installer doesn't see my Marvell SATA controller (which has the 2 SSD disks I want to install it attached) [16:02] angry_dude: please keep the lanauge appropriate for in here, also the caps was a tad excessive [16:02] angry_dude: ubuntu, har :p [16:02] marscher, ext4 is coming [16:02] !mintsupport | udo [16:02] udo: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[16:04] mount point means? [16:04] marscher, [16:05] nashant: you can always build an install (including placing in custom drivers) in a VM and copy it to metal later [16:05] reisio: I guess I'll try previous versions and see if they have the drivers built in (then dist-upgrade) [16:05] shunya_chakra, i guess you have your home dir resides on the same mount point as root? [16:06] yup [16:06] so you shouldn't use the system anymore and recover using a livecd [16:06] because with every write to the filesystem you will loose data [16:07] marscher, this is same like creating extra partition in window like d, e, f [16:07] creatin other mount [16:07] yes [16:08] like / is C: and your home dir is linked to D: or something [16:08] now this getting ugly :D [16:08] that's cool, how can i create that [16:08] marscher? [16:08] you havn't had it as you deleted everything, so now you have to use a livecd [16:09] google partitioning linux [16:09] or separate mointpoint home [16:09] how to customize conky? [16:09] but actually creating backups should be easier :P [16:10] iceburned, Tons of this on the web, and a gigantic conky thread at the ubuntu forums. [16:10] marscher, yup are right from next I'll always back up myd data [16:10] iceburned: there's a .conkyrc file in your home directory, and there's a ton of themes on the forums [16:10] iceburned: ~/.conkyrc [16:11] iceburned, I would start with someone else's conky build to experiment, it is basically code, there have to be millions out there to try.

[16:21] ActionParsnip I have tried a dvd and a usb pen drive [16:21] both with the same issue [16:22] any idea how I can diagnose why the 2 disks connected to the second SATA controller aren't being detected? The controller shows up in lspci, is using the AHCI driver and module (lspci -k), and looks to be fine under lspci -vv [16:22] stmaher: try the minimalcd image [16:22] stmaher: or partition with any other live image first === medberry is now known as Guest22285 [16:23] hi ho hi ho it;s off to manual installing I go [16:24] reisio will give the minimal cd a go.. [16:24] stmaher: did you MD5 test the image you downloaded? [16:24] nashant: just because a device shows in lspci doent mean it is configured to work [16:26] ActionParsnip: so how would I get it configured to work? If it's using the correct kernel drivers and modules should it not work? [16:26] hey I'm trying to connect to the internet with my ac600 USB stick but it is not working [16:26] stmaher, is your bios set to protect the mbr? [16:27] harm, Must be wifi eh? run lsusb and see if it shows. [16:27] there is a nice little app that check open connections, its not netstat... [16:27] Wilde the USB shows [16:27] ActionParsnip: Or at least how would I go about diagnosing why it's not working? [16:27] Willie* [16:27] nashant: what is the sata chip in use? [16:27] on a tablet now [16:27] harm, You can tab complete nicks, name the wifi hardware to the channel. [16:28] the exact name [16:28] stmaher: did you MD5 test the image you downloaded?

I'm on the server installer terminal at the moment [16:29] nashant: ahh I see [16:29] Interesting.. I think its having difficulty detecting the sata disk [16:29] fdisk shows /dev/sda however the installer only shows /dev/sdb [16:29] (sdb being the usb pen drive with the minimal disk on it) [16:30] wilie-nilee alright. lsusb shows the hardware is there [16:30] this was the point where it was crashing on the X GUI installer [16:30] nashant: which server OS / release are you installing? [16:30] harm, So do you know if this usb wifi is supposed to work, there are many that plug and play and are cheap. [16:31] harm, I would not bother with one that did not myself but I'm not you [16:31] wiliee-nilee there are Linux drivers on the site.. which didn't make.. and then I tried a work around using a git which also doesn't work.. it make a .KO file but that doesn't work since my adopter doesn't show up [16:32] would anyone have any idea why the installer isnt picking up both disks? i tried partitioning /dev/sda in fdisk to see if it would pick it up .. however no luck === Bucky21659 is now known as Player0 [16:32] harm, Can I see the site? === Player0 is now known as Player- [16:32] nashant: which image did you use to make the install media?

EDIMAX EW-7811UTC [16:35] same as the ac600.. its the model name or something [16:36] wilie-nilee same as the ac600 see the website offivial http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=498&pl1_id=28&pl2_id=138 [16:36] ActionParsnip: How do I now exit the installer terminal? [16:36] got it [16:36] harm, I see the relevance now, [16:37] hey all, i have an openldap server with users home dirs set as /mnt/home/*.. however on the file server (where the home dirs are hosted via nfs) the path to those home dirs are actually /mnt/vault/home/*. Do you know if i can add an entry into /etc/fstab to sym link /mnt/vault/home to /mnt/home ? [16:37] is it mount --bind? [16:38] wilie-nilee it goes wrong when I modprobe [16:38] wilie-nilee it just won't load the driver or anyway the adopter doesn't show [16:39] what favorite download manager do you use in ubuntu?

[16:40] Found the problem.. bios was set to use ahci to present the disks to the os.. I swapped that to raid and the installer manager picked it up.. [16:40] wasted 4 hours on this (puke) [16:40] Im not blaming linux.. its the dodgy hardware its using :-( [16:42] harm, I can't really help with unpacking a loading with any real finalization of you being set. I will point out though that the helper on the link is one of the best in this area, have you made a thread there? [16:42] wilie-nilee no I didn't.. darn.. I'm switching to Ubuntu 12.04 which should work with the drivers from the m!anufactorer [16:43] harm, Cool you may get help here, you want a few iron's in the fire is all. ;) [16:44] wilie-nilee I have been using Ubuntu since harty [16:44] wilie-nilee I hope this driver nonsense gets resolved soon.. this is killing me and most normal usets [16:44] stmaher, Can we curb the emotional diatribe and biased comments, it means nothing to us, and just is a waste of time. ;) [16:45] I've installed a game from the software ubuntu center, and i'd like to review it, but when i try to, it opens up a login window, and is forever loading. [16:45] harm, most normal users was that? [16:46] wilie-nilee yeah,. I mean irc and helpers can only do so much [16:47] harm, Just for the record, broad statements do not fly with me, use what is known to work. I see hardly nothing on this unit and ubuntu on the web. [16:48] ActionParsnip: So is there no chance for me to install onto disks connected to that controller then? [16:48] wilie-nilee hmm before this I got a Cisco ae2500 adopter.. also not working on 14.04 I just hope manufacturers get it together soon [16:49] nashant: does your board not have native SATA 6Gb ports? [16:50] harm, I would not hold your breath for manufacturers, not a profitable market I suspect, otherwise we would see them more, just a guess though. [16:50] daftykins: It does, but I'm going to be running Xen and need to pass that whole controller through to a VM [16:51] nashant: ah... good luck, i keep seeing people having issues trying to boot Xen kernels under modern ubuntus [16:51] nashant: not sure [16:51] hi all . I've installed a game from the software ubuntu center, and i'd like to review it, but when i try to, it opens up a login window, and is forever loading. [16:52] daftykins: Well this is a bloody nightmare then. I really need to get a GPU passed through to another VM and it's just not working on XenServer [16:52] Bruno_: version? are you fully updated? [16:52] I am fully updated running the latest version of xubuntu. [16:53] nashant: well, Xen is not the #1 virt tech for ubuntu, i believe KVM is. it really depends what you're trying to achieve [16:53] harm, Might be worth checking out, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_14/183-5855483-1001157?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=wifi%20usb%20linux&sprefix=wifi+usb+linux%2Caps%2C630 [16:53] Bruno_: close it and then run it from a terminal to watch any debug output [16:54] daftykins: Doesn't really make much difference if I can't install ubuntu. Which at the moment seems to be the situation. [16:54] daftykins how do i run it from a terminal? [16:54] nashant: you kind of jumped from talking about controller passthrough to GPU passthrough, which was quite confusing [16:55] Bruno_: try "software-center" [16:55] wilie-nilee nice.. but I live in NL so can't order on amazon and I like stores [16:55] wilie-nilee thanks for your help.. I will try with Ubuntu 12.04 [16:56] harm, Stores are fine, however researching is a good idea. [16:57] any store is not going to be linux centric is all === Ihavenohats is now known as Ihavemanyhats [16:57] daftykins: Sorry about that.

At the moment still no luck. Got suggested to try the latest and greatest on Ubuntu. That's out. Unless I get a pci-e sata controller, I guess [17:02] OMG it worked.

[17:11] mmmm entitlement [17:11] so, have you followed both pieces of advice in that forum thread? [17:11] specing, daily server ? [17:11] specing: there are a variety: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ [17:12] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ [17:12] hello, i'm trying to ensure a storage device is disconnected by doing echo 1 > /sys/block/device-name/device/delete, but i'm getting '-bash: No such file or directory' [17:12] specing, that would be 14.10, alfa [17:12] How do you remove the amazon etc stuff from 14.04? [17:13] jtane: use tab to complete the path, and you'll know it's a real path [17:13] intok, just disable it in settings > privacy [17:13] jtane: also you'd probably have to use sudo [17:13] should I go "cloud-live" or "server" for running in a VM? [17:13] specing: for doing what? [17:13] well, /sys/block/device-name/device/delete does sound like an example more than an actual device [17:13] a... server? [17:13] Do the kernels/userlands differ between desktop, cloud-live and server? [17:14] reisio: thanks, i have done both to no avail - ps. the storage is a xen vbd, if that matters [17:14] reisio: testing LXC user namespace virtualization [17:14] specing: if you don't know how they differ, then you don't need something named after a buzzword like cloud [17:14] specing: kernels no longer differ between desktop and server, no [17:14] and base utilities/userspace? [17:14] should I go "cloud-live" or "server"? [17:14] OerHeks I want to completely uninstall it, I found how to in 14.04 before when I installed 14.04 on a previous system, but DDG and Google are currently failing me this time around [17:15] specing: all the same repos i think. please don't repeat yourself. [17:16] intok: dpkg -l | grep -i lens [17:16] intok: it's one of those [17:22] compdoc: sorry i did not paste the real name of the device as i thought it would not be helpful [17:22] buit i am sure the device path was correct [17:22] i can list the contents with ls [17:23] ok, just making sure [17:23] the device folder contains: block devtype driver modalias nodename power subsystem uevent [17:25] can anyone point me to good docs on how the /sys/block filesystem works / how to use? [17:29] jtane: pretty much how the command you got makes use of it [17:29] jtane: asking in #linux may be useful too [17:29] jtane: only the path has to be real [17:29] jtane: and you'll probably need sudo, as already explained [17:30] ActionParsnip: ok will try that [17:31] reisio: as mentioned, i am root :-) [17:32] hi when will this bug will be fixed [17:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1290847 [17:32] Launchpad bug 1290847 in python3.4 (Ubuntu) "pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:32] jtane: then you're good [17:32] ubottu [17:37] shunya_chakra, Ask them we would not know. [17:38] this is a volunteer situation is all [17:38] wilee-nilee, who ? [17:39] shunya_chakra, Not sure my self, I think the key word is patience. ;) [17:40] ok wilee-nilee, :) "Keep calm and wait for fix." [17:40] is there dev channel of ubuntu? [17:40] shunya_chakra, Yeah #ubuntu-dev not sure if it's open I think it is [17:41] shunya_chakra: hassling in the #ubuntu-dev channel is not wise though [17:41] it's not for that sort of discussion [17:41] shunya_chakra, That channel is wrong let me look closer [17:41] its devel [17:41] -devel not -dev [17:41] but it's still not the right channel [17:41] cool, good advice on hassling [17:41] yay [17:43] ok I'll ask there :) [17:43] ban in 3...2.. [17:43] thanks!!! [17:43] errr no [17:43] please re-read what I just said [17:43] shunya_chakra: it is not that sort of channel, don't ask there [17:44] ikonia, ok, then i'll not ask [17:45] PRIVMSG: it'd be great if i just had my own datacenter! === root is now known as Guest12575 [17:47] !rootirc | Guest12575 [17:47] Guest12575: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [17:49] pls someone help me in this, i can only run ubuntu 14.04 in Recovery mode [17:49] ddr9: please give more detail [17:49] i have installed 14.04LTS (64bit) dual boot with Windows8 [17:50] ddr9: try and keep it on few lines :) === druciaki is now known as Druciaki === demononoid_com is now known as demonoid_com [17:51] when i try to load ubuntu, it shows two options: "Ubuntu,with LInux3.13.0-24-generic" and Linux in recovery mode [17:51] the one not in recovery mode does not load, while the other loads to terminal screen [17:52] ddr9: does the former stay as a black screen? what kind of graphics hardware do you have? [17:52] !nomodeset | ddr9 give this a go [17:52] ddr9 give this a go: 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 [17:53] the thing is, to make ubuntu work, i need to type in reinstall ubuntu desktop command, and reboot, after which though it loads, but then heating occurs === timrc is now known as timrc-afk [17:54] i am trying that nomodeset thing, thanks for helping [17:54] !away > timrc-afk [17:54] timrc-afk, please see my private message [17:59] daftykins: i have integrated intel graphic card driver and ati also === timrc-afk is now known as timrc [18:02] ddr9: ah, AMD hybrid setup? [18:02] ddr9: is that a laptop? [18:03] daftykins: yes its a laptop [18:03] daftykins, wouldn't that be an intel hybrid setup? [18:03] n00b_dust: don't split hairs [18:03] ddr9: ok, you might have BIOS settings to explicitly pick which one to use? [18:04] daftykins: in win8, i don't need to, but yes there r options in BIOS [18:04] ddr9, disabled fastboot? [18:04] yes while installing, and right now also fastboot is disabled [18:04] ddr9: yes, this is no surprise for Windows. can you check what model of AMD it is? [18:07] Hi there. I can't stop mysqld, may anybody help me? [18:07] bodom: how'd you try? [18:08] reisio: /etc/init.d/mysql stop or kill ; it keeps respawning [18:08] Hi! Does someone know if there is a program that extracts all hex color values in a file and display them as colors? preferably with option to change them with a color chooser of some cind? [18:09] daftykins: AMD Radeon HD 8570M [18:09] ddr9: did nomodeset help? [18:10] daftykins: wait, i didn't try I'll restart and reply [18:10] bodom: sudo service mysql stop? [18:10] ¬_¬ [18:11] daftykins: but the link that you gave is a very old one [18:11] reisio: that says "unknown job" [18:12] bodom: what init system are you using? [18:12] Ddr9: if it still applies, what does age have to do with it [18:12] reisio: is there a choice? The default one, I suppose [18:13] uhuh... [18:13] bodom: what version of Ubuntu? [18:13] ActionParsnip: but how do I change it? ubuntu is already installed on a separate drive [18:13] reisio: crappy upstart should be in charge, 14,04 [18:14] k [18:14] ddr9: age doesn't prevent nomodeset being relevant nor the method being correct [18:14] Ddr9: change what? [18:14] maybe it's not called 'mysql' then [18:14] perhaps mysqld or something, ls /etc/init.d/ | grep -i my [18:14] mysqld [18:14] Get annoyed when playing with lazarus package, I got blamed why fpc package warned myself arch incompatibility. [18:14] sudo service mysql stop should work fine, sudo service mysql status # what is running? [18:14] reisio: "service --status-all" says it is called mysql, but then it says "unknown job" [18:15] Ddr9 : hold SHIFT at boot and press E to (e)dit the boot. Remove the default options "quiet splash" and add "nomodeset" press ENTER to continue the boot [18:15] OerHeks: unknown job [18:15] even if i kill it, something keeps respawning it [18:15] bodom, check 'top' for zombie processes [18:16] bodom: is it re-spawning with the same ID or a different ID [18:16] bodom: what process are you killing, mysqld or the controlling mysqld-safe [18:16] OerHeks: no zombies [18:17] Is setting swappiness supposed to have immediate effect? Or do I have to restart something? I set it via sysctl. [18:17] (I set it to 100 for experimentation) [18:17] ikonia: different pid, i am killing mysqld, i have no mysqld-safe process [18:17] Burrito: how did you set it? [18:17] bodom: that sounds like it's not been started by the init system then [18:17] ActionParsnip, sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=100 [18:18] Burrito : then it's active now [18:18] ikonia: unless something got broke during some upgrade, I am pretty sure I didn't customize it [18:18] bodom: can you please pastebin the output of "ps -ef | grep mysql" === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [18:18] Burrito : could try: sudo sysctl -p [18:19] ActionParsnip, I saw a small percentage spike in my swap usage, but RAM is still 77% (was 80%). Am I under the wrong impression if I say that it should be moving most of the stuff in RAM to SWAP? [18:19] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/V9QPae8U [18:19] Burrito: You are. Swap should be used when you're really out of RAM [18:19] Burrito : as I understand it, yes [18:19] bodom: talk me through how you would kill that process [18:19] theadmin, hm, regardless of swappiness setting? :< [18:20] Burrito: muh. Well, question is, why would you want to decrease RAM usage? RAM will free up as necessary [18:20] But it would provide better performance than a hard drive [18:20] Burrito : ram will be used for running applications [18:20] ikonia: kill -9 17351 [18:20] ikonia: i now have a 18357 mysqld [18:20] bodom: Err, you don't kill services, use "service mysql stop" [18:20] bodom: is this physical or a virtual host [18:21] ikonia: physical [18:21] bodom: what is the processs 18357 [18:21] theadmin, partly for experimentation of how swappiness works, and *that* is because a friend of mine is having trouble with stuff moving to swap slowly, leading to far worse performance of some applications (games) on Linux than on Windows, because of resource management differences (things moving from RAM to SWAP at the very, very last resort on Linux) [18:22] ikonia: it's the new mysql that respawned after i killed the old one [18:22] Player- ^ [18:22] bodom: that is mysql - the client, not th eserver [18:22] server [18:22] bodom: look at the difference, mysqld - mysql, they are differnet binaries [18:22] bodom: is process 8539 your shell ? [18:23] Burrito: How much RAM is the machine having? [18:23] ikonia: i also had a client running, yes, but i can just "quit" it [18:23] bodom: ok, so kill the mysqld process, then repaste ps -ef | grep mysql please [18:23] theadmin, I have 4 GB of RAM, said friend has 3 GB [18:23] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/f45y0bEf [18:24] Burrito: hm yeah, that's not a whole lot [18:24] theadmin, I'd agree, but the performance on Windows appears way better for him. I'm interested in the differences in resource management which cause this. [18:24] And whether it can be remedied [18:24] Burrito: Are you sure it's not, say, the video driver? === Moe is now known as Guest69961 [18:25] bodom: can you show me the output of uname -a please [18:25] ikonia: Linux 3.13.0-27-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 18:06:16 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [18:25] theadmin, maybe. I actually had the same problem before I got an SSD, and simply managed by closing "fat" programs like Firefox. In his case, on Windows, he can leave programs like that running and they would be moved to the page file rather quickly - according to him. [18:27] theadmin, also he had an indicator open - swap would receive zero usage until Linux completely runs out of RAM. This is *different* in my case because even with a swappiness of 5, my swap space is being used at 27% even though there is no (and was no) "last resort" situation [18:27] bodom: most odd, [18:27] theadmin, he is known as Player- in this channel, but is probably on a different device right now [18:27] Burrito: Well, yes, swappiness will increase swap use, no doubt [18:29] ikonia: my bet is that something in the odd upstart keeps respawning mysql. Maybe some "security hook" that I never asked for. [18:29] bodom: I don't believe thats the cast [18:29] case [18:30] ikonia: I think I'll just warn all users and try a reboot. Thank you very much for your time anyway [18:30] Burrito : try a lighter session like XFCE [18:31] bodom: it's worth checking the init script to see if it "should" still spawn from mysqld_safe or not [18:31] that would be a bit of info worth knowing [18:32] ikonia: test -x /usr/bin/mysqld_safe || exit 0 [18:32] bodom: ok, so thats interesting that it's not there on your system [18:32] ikonia: but i don't know if upstart really calls this script or a different one [18:33] ikonia: because i also have an /etc/init/mysql.conf [18:34] mysql on trusty is started directly using /usr/sbin/mysqld [18:35] Hi, I'm here now. Yeah Burrito descibed my situation, I guess no one has a solution? I verified that the swap partition is declared properly in the fstab, so in short of throwing swappiness up to 100 I'm out of ideas. [18:35] diddledan: mhhh... by which script? [18:35] bodom, upstart [18:36] it looks like the init.d script hasn't been converted [18:36] diddledan: upstart is like a muddler kid to me, how can I check if the correct script is in place? [18:37] Gah! [18:37] I hate how Firefox performs now! -_- [18:37] It's sketchy! [18:37] I still have /etc/init.d/mysql [18:38] someHuman, same :( especially flash [18:38] someHuman, but I, for one, welcome the new look :V [18:38] bodom, yeah that script is incorrect [18:38] diddledan: what do you mean? [18:38] Burrito: Yup, perhaps that's why it's sketchy. It's being renovated. [18:38] someHuman, try out PaleMoon if you're upset with what the current version of Firefox is doing. I haven't tried it yet. [18:39] I just got back to Firefox from Google Chrome so I have no idea what happened to Firefox lately. [18:39] Firefox went cray-cray [18:40] I also have a different mysql server. I can confirm I can't stop mysql even there [18:40] How does one change an ssh-server login password? [18:40] bodom /etc/init.d scripts should all have been replaced with equivalents that do nothing by themselves but prompt the admin to use the `service` utility which will call upstart or fallback to the init.d script if there isn't an upstart job for it (to allow legacy uses) [18:40] I know how to change the root password... === sd is now known as Guest2218 [18:41] bigred15: It seems. [18:41] aalp4 the password you use for ssh is the same as you would use sat at the console === rwtrecs is now known as Guest87338 [18:42] someHuman: That said Chromium isn't much better with the 80 size font in the URL bar :\ [18:42] diddledan, i changed the password using sudo passwd at the console [18:42] maybe i need to restart? [18:43] aalp4 no, you don't need to restart [18:43] damn, the password isn't changing for ssh [18:43] aalp4 if you set a password using `sudo passwd` that will change the password for the user called "root" so you need to tell your ssh client to login as root [18:44] what if i want it to login to my user? [18:44] should i type in sudo passwd [username] diddledan? [18:45] aalp4 then you need to use the password assigned to your user account [18:45] to change my user account password then that is sudo passwd [username]? [18:45] aalp4 instead of running `sudo passwd` then run `passwd` [18:45] oh [18:45] thanks === seth_ is now known as sethj === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [18:46] aalp4 at a pinch `sudo passwd username` works but seems like pointless recursion [18:46] either would work [18:46] yeah :p === maddawg4 is now known as veristead [18:46] doing sudo passwd seems to do nothing at all === veristead is now known as chernobyl [18:46] for example if i do sudo apt-get update [18:47] it still asks me for my previous password [18:47] and sudo apt-get update uses root password i thought [18:47] sudo uses your user account's password [18:47] oh, i didn't know that === chernobyl is now known as johnjacobjinger [18:47] su requires the target user's (e.g. root) password [18:47] aha [18:48] sudo was invented after su and was designed specifically to allow delegation of privilege rather than "giving bob the password for alice's account" [18:49] even though that's how Ubuntu misuses it :) [18:49] reisio, no, ubuntu uses it correctly [18:50] nope, it uses it in a fashion directly at odds with sudo's purpose as outlined on their site [18:50] also, it doesn't always ask for the password :) [18:50] reisio, you don't need root's password to perform admin functions [18:50] diddledan: right, all admin functions [18:50] which is not what sudo was meant for === sd is now known as Guest44369 [18:51] Hi! Is anyone familiar with installing grub with lvm? [18:51] reisio, from sudo's site: "Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments." [18:51] taithefox, in Ubuntu, that should "just work" [18:51] reisio, in this case you've delegated authority for admin access to your own user-level account [18:52] if not, you may have to trigger an initramfs rebuild [18:52] It's more of a generic linux thing in this case. I'm a sysadmin at a university and the last sysadmin did a really weird setup on a mac with a ton of partitions [18:52] anywhoo [18:52] awe that's sad, they must have changed their site to not confuse Ubuntu users visiting it :p [18:52] taithefox: there is a #grub [18:52] professor upgraded his fedora installation and it broke grub [18:52] oh really? [18:52] anyways, archive.org reveals all :p [18:52] taithefox, ##linux may be better, as I said, it just works on ubuntu. [18:52] I might try there [18:52] plus it's obviously the wrong way to use it, heh [18:52] or yes, #grub [18:52] it doesn't _always_ work on ubuntu lmao [18:53] it should always work on fedora too. [18:53] xD [18:53] and i dont think you can install grub to lvm. you still install it to your boot disk [18:53] taithefox, hence why I said you may have to trigger an initramfs rebuild to build in the lvm hooks. [18:53] that is the case on any distro, just typically ubuntu does a good job of that when you install lvm. [18:54] diddledan: is there a way to install ubuntu base security updates over ssh logged into user account? [18:54] aalp4 only if that user has the root password or enough privilege to use sudo [18:54] taithefox, also, there is #fedora [18:55] sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't install the security updates diddledan :/ [18:55] it holds them back [18:55] also, did you say this was on a mac?? [18:55] "held back" is a different problem [18:56] yeah, i'm installing it via a gui now [18:56] diddledan: first para :p http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/readme.html [18:56] you can install "held back" packages with apt-get dist-upgrade [18:56] does upgrading the ubuntu base security updates count as a dist-upgrade diddledan? [18:56] reisio, I fail to see why that's "at odds" with the way ubuntu uses it [18:56] Ubuntu gives all of root [18:57] not "as few privileges as possible" [18:57] reisio, _somebody_ needs all of root [18:57] yup [18:57] diddledan, especially when root password is randomized. [18:57] Hello [18:57] and we've always had su for that [18:57] also, growing more and more offtopic. [18:57] phunyguy: ha [18:57] rio_zenta: 'lo [18:58] Under a wubi install, you get a menu before the grub menu that allows you to choose either windows or ubuntu, how do I customize this? [18:58] diddledan i'm on 13.10, and would like to update ubuntu-base, but not switch to 14.04, is there a way to do that? [18:58] rio_zenta that's windows' own bootloader [18:58] rio_zenta, depends on what you want to customize [18:59] phunyguy: I just want to change the order from: Windows, Ubuntu to: Ubuntu, Windows. Basically, I want ubuntu first, so that it can boot into it without me needing to select it. [18:59] aalp4 `apt-get upgrade` or `apt-get dist-upgrade` won't change which release of ubuntu you have installed unless you mess with the sources.list [18:59] rio_zenta, if what diddledan is saying is true, you need to edit boot.ini on the windows drive [18:59] rio_zenta: download easybcd [19:00] (I think it's called boot.ini) [19:00] reisio, download that in windows or ubuntu? [19:00] oh that's good to know diddledan thanks, i guess i should always include a dist-upgrade with an apt-get upgrade to stay secure [19:00] phunyguy, it used to be in xp's time. vista came up with the "bcd" which is an evil thing [19:00] oh even better, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff543428%28v=vs.85%29.aspx [19:01] it's weird that i never get "held-back" packages on my 14.04 machine just using apt-get upgrade [19:01] diddledan, the PC I'm using has windows XP [19:01] rio_zenta: windows [19:01] >.< [19:01] aalp4, with that said, apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade don't differentiate between security and normal updates... the only way to only install security updates afaik is to use the automatic updates feature. === mikesplain_ is now known as mikesplain [19:02] phunyguy: how do i do that on a cli via ssh? [19:02] rio_zenta : http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/enterprise/end-of-support.aspx [19:03] diddledan: :-/ [19:03] aalp4, you can't afaik [19:03] but I usually enable automatic security updates to happen every day without a reboot. [19:03] so i can't stay secure using ssh :( phunyguy [19:04] let me try to remember the name of the package that handles the automatic updates [19:04] oh, i should enable auto-updates then [19:04] aalp4, dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades OR apt-get install unattended-upgrades [19:04] unattended-upgrades, there it is [19:04] awesome! [19:04] i wonder why that command isn't well known? [19:04] there are config files with excellent documentation within, and it runs via cron every day. [19:04] you just tell it the interval of days to install, etc [19:05] aalp4, if the first one says the package isn't installed then run the second [19:05] ok [19:05] phunyguy, I'd forgotten the name of it too, but I have plenty of installs with it enabled so I just ssh'd into one of those (ok, I was already ssh'd into it) [19:08] Hai [19:08] Can someone help me? XD [19:08] hello [19:08] We need to know what you need help with.... [19:08] Elouise: done [19:08] diddledan, if I use, "dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades and apt-get install unattended-upgrades", should i never have to use dist-upgrade? [19:08] Okay so. This happened like 4 times now. [19:09] and I had to re-download Ubuntu just to make my WiFi connection work. [19:09] aalp4, you can configure it as such. [19:09] i set the hotkey in the bottom left part of my screen to spread all windows, its nifty as popsicles. I was wondering if there is a way to leave it in that format as they tile really well. i Don't want it to click and focus i want ti to stay as it is [19:09] Yesterday, I was in a hotel.. My WiFi wasn't working. Took my like 2 hours to figure out how to fix it. [19:09] its quite hard to explain what i want done [19:09] Now I just got home, WiFi isn't working again. [19:09] I forgot how to fix it. [19:09] :[ [19:10] Elouise, careful with the enter key or unopaste will mute you [19:10] Sorry. [19:10] Elouise, any idea what wifi hardware you have? [19:10] So do you want me to say those in just 1 line? [19:10] phunyguy because right now my plan to keep my system updated via ssh is 1. apt-get update 2. apt-get upgrade 3. dist-upgrade 4. dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades, and if needed 5. dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades [19:10] is this the correct way? [19:10] Elouise, yeah just say as much as you can in one line. [19:11] aalp4, I think you are getting confused as to what the unattended-upgrade commands are [19:11] What do you mean by "WiFi hardware?" [19:11] Elouise, make and model? [19:11] model of my connection? [19:11] sorry [19:11] aalp4, all those last commands do is install the package that performs the upgrades or configures it. [19:11] need to reword that [19:12] Elouise, no, what the actual hardware model is... Intel.. Broadcom... etc [19:12] It's most likely a broadcom [19:12] somebody gave a nice command yesterday to check for your hardware in terminal. I can't recall it. [19:12] Elouise, open a terminal and type "lspci | grep Wireless" and see if anything pops up [19:13] that's the one phunyguy [19:13] Elouise: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will be shown [19:13] Kk [19:13] phunyguy, is there a series of commands i can use without fail every time to update my system via cli ssh [19:13] if so in what order? [19:13] Elouise : as you type your password you will get no feedback [19:13] aalp4, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will do it [19:13] aalp4: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:14] ok so there's reallly no need for dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades OR apt-get install unattended-upgrades? [19:14] but if you want to automate it, use the unattended-upgrade software to do it. [19:14] it says [19:14] aalp4, again, those commands just install the service that performs the updates automatically [19:14] lshw: command nto found [19:14] ohhh [19:14] i misunderstood [19:14] i see [19:14] I know :) [19:14] got it :) [19:14] not found* [19:15] Elouise : if you run: cat /etc/issue ,what is output? [19:15] No such file/directory [19:15] ...are you on Ubuntu? [19:15] Yes [19:15] o_O [19:15] o [19:15] there it is [19:16] I got um. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l [19:16] Elouise did you put a space between the word "cat" and "/etc/issue" [19:16] Mhm [19:16] Elouise spaces are important [19:16] I got um. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l === tcpman is now known as Guest48211 [19:16] thanks all! [19:16] aalp4, cheers [19:16] Elouise : ok run: sudo lshw -C network [19:17] it says [19:17] Elouise : there is a space afer the word "sudo" a space after "lshq" and one after "-C" [19:17] sudo: lshw: command not found [19:18] sudo apt-get install lshw [19:18] Well I dont have wifi connection [19:18] I mean I do [19:18] doh. [19:18] Elouise : its LSHW in lower case. Are you running ISHW ? [19:18] do you have a plug to hardwire? [19:18] but it won't just work on this laptop. [19:18] Actionparsnip, it may not be installed by default, it wasn't on the box I am on [19:19] I have a plug, but I'm using an acer chromebook c720 [19:19] Phunyguy: lshw is default installed in Ubuntu [19:19] if I do iwconfig would that help? [19:19] phunyguy, it's there on a server I run which was installed from minimal [19:19] I've had headaches with Acer too. [19:19] Elouise : that wont help as ot won't tell you the wifi chip [19:20] wifi chip [19:20] hmm === eddie is now known as Guest70215 [19:20] Elouise : can you get a wired connection and run updates? [19:20] nope :[ [19:20] Elouise, lspci will show it [19:21] there [19:21] but that lists all hardware [19:21] Elouise, what machine is this, Surface 2? [19:21] Elouise : ok ill do the command in upper case and when I write [space] hit spacebar, don't type it [19:21] Okay. [19:22] Elouise : SUDO [space] LSHW [space] -C [space] NETWORK [19:23] Elouise : the line next to the C is a minus sign or hyphen [19:23] sudo: lshw: command not found === leon is now known as leonprou [19:24] Can someone please give me the output of: which lshw [19:24] Actionparsnip, it is missing because it is not installed by default... I just said that [19:24] Phunyguy: it is. I've used ot in trusty... [19:24] I just had to install it... [19:24] is it the Network Controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [19:25] that's it [19:25] That's it? [19:25] that's the output we are looking for [19:25] Alright lol === blake is now known as Guest77407 [19:25] Phunyguy : funny how Elouise just ran it then huh... [19:25] Actionparsnip: [19:25] Actually phuny told me to do a command, which showed lots of hardwares [19:25] Phunyguy : on a default install with no web access post install [19:26] and obv, I saw "Network Controller," so I thought it might be the one. [19:26] atheros is usually really good :( Is there a Fn key to switch it off and on? [19:26] Phunyguy : how is that possible [19:26] Actionparsnip, no idea. Anyway, we got what we needed [19:26] "lspci." [19:26] Elouise, some laptops have keys to turn antenna off and on, does yours? [19:26] Nope [19:26] Phunyguy : its possible because its default installed using the install CD [19:27] hrrmmm... [19:27] Elouise, a restart doesn't fix it I take it? [19:27] As is evident [19:27] Yeah I rebooted it so many times, researched on google, etc.. [19:28] Elouise, hang tight for a second [19:28] Elouise, model brand lappie [19:28] Acer Chromebook C720 [19:29] does anyone have experience using xrandr to control video output? [19:29] im trying to send output to my tv that has bigger resolution than laptop [19:30] whats up here? [19:32] yeah I found an image of the keyboard, sure enough, there is no wifi button [19:32] :s [19:33] Elouise, did you possibly disable wireless by accident in the menu that is associated with the network icon in panel? [19:33] What does that mean === IamBradley is now known as ffprint [19:34] Elouise, the icon you usually click on to connect to a wireless network, there are options in there to disable wireless, and also disable networking completely. [19:34] sec [19:34] It could be disabled there [19:34] Elouise, what os does it run and do you have its serial number === ffprint is now known as IamBradley [19:35] phuang: [19:35] phunyguy: [19:35] It's enabled. [19:36] you just can't see any networks? [19:36] I'm connected to wifi. [19:36] but no access. [19:36] err... [19:36] so it is connected, just nothing works.... [19:37] Yeah [19:37] can you pastebin the output of "route -n" please? [19:38] Um [19:38] also include the contents of the ifconfig command too please [19:38] errr no wifi. >< [19:38] * phunyguy grumbles. [19:38] Lol [19:38] ubuntu? [19:38] so let's do this a different way [19:39] Elouise, do you have a line that starts with 0.0.0.0 on the route -n command? [19:39] I made this work last night when I was in my hotel room [19:39] Yes [19:39] lucky strike [19:39] is booting into a nested file system not possible? [19:39] Whenever I go to different places and access WiFi, it won't just work T_T [19:39] ok, now the next set of numbers to the right of that, please try to ping that address [19:40] can I pm [19:40] wait, my question is wrong [19:40] here is fine, so others can chime in. You don't have to say the address [19:40] I mean, is making the bootloader default to a nested file system not possible? [19:40] K so [19:40] type "ping" and then the address under the "gateway" field [19:41] let me know if you get replies [19:41] o ic [19:42] Hey can anyone help with this issure. [19:42] Ping (adress) 58(64) bytes of data [19:42] Hey can anyone help me? [19:42] Elouise, no responses? [19:42] I got that response. [19:42] Mathcubes, we don't know until you ask the real question [19:43] Mathcubes: Don't ask to ask. Just ask [19:43] Elouise, ok, ctrl-c [19:43] @phunyguy yea I forgot to inculde my issure. [19:43] can please anybody tell me the default twitter client on 14.04 (trusty)? [19:44] spy6, I don't think there is one [19:44] not by default anyway [19:44] phunyguy: there is no twitter client installed on trusty? [19:44] Elouise, I am not sure at this point. Can you boot to a LiveCD and see if it works there? [19:44] Livecd? [19:44] spy6, not that I am aware of [19:44] (on stock ubuntu 14.04) [19:44] Elouise, yes, what you use to install Ubuntu [19:45] I did the code thing [19:45] hmmmm [19:45] I didn't use no cds lol [19:45] spy6, it used to be gwibber, but that project died [19:45] Elouise, USB stick? [19:45] Well this may be offtopic but Few days ago I got a virus on my WIndows parition and it delected ctrutical files. And so, I delected the partition, Now I want to reinstall Windows but it is saying that Missing Drivers. I use GRUB on the MBR, and I have a Dell Inspiron R17 n7110 laptop. === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [19:46] Mathcubes, what does that have to do with Ubuntu? [19:46] Nope :S [19:46] Well I use Ubuntu... I used GRUB as the MBR. and I was reading that might be the problem. [19:46] Elouise, how did you install Ubuntu? [19:47] Mathcubes, drivers missing from Windows has nothing to do with Ubuntu. [19:47] http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/764181-how-to-install-linux-on-an-acer-c720-chromebook [19:48] yikes. [19:48] ok, that makes sense then. [19:48] What happened [19:48] It makes sense that you didn't use a USB stick to install. But a LiveUSB may work now [19:49] but probably not worth the effort for this issue. [19:50] I have to go to a meeting [19:50] bbiab [19:50] Aw [19:50] Well thanks for helping ;) [19:50] hi [19:50] hello to all [19:51] i need little help [19:51] about wireshark [19:51] :) [19:51] we have an issue with an external screen. 1920x1080 is the native resolution. but it does not fill the screen. [19:51] vga connected [19:51] i try to compile wireshark and have this error [19:51] i tried xrandr and set the resolution to 1920... [19:51] configure: error: Neither Qt nor GTK+ 2.12.0 or later are available, so Wireshark can't be compiled [19:52] Does the ubuntu page require ssl? [19:53] harmonics: define ubuntu page [19:53] hey all [19:54] Success, I've made ubuntu wubi the default bootloader in windows. [19:54] Thanks diddledan, phunyguy [19:54] ugh WUBI? were you not advised against that? [19:55] daftykins: I have successfully installed ubuntu server through wubi and also successfully made it the default boot, so now I can work with it without a screen or keyboard [19:55] i see, just note that i think WUBI is unsupported so if you get any issues you can't ask for help [19:56] daftykins: I think it might still be supported, because wubi exists in 12.04 LTS [19:56] Question trying to set-up a cups client on 14.04 desktop, the only guides I find mention cups-client and a simply client.conf and sometimes install a2ps as well, is this still the way to go to achieve what I'm trying to do? [19:56] rio_zenta: "Supported" or not, I highly recommend against using it. [19:56] rio_zenta: gj [19:57] rio_zenta: how'd you manage it? [19:57] Jordan_U: It is for a home-server to run small tests on. Nothing major or persistent. [19:57] any tips for my monitor problem? [19:57] thomas__: fix it [19:57] reisio, fix what? [19:57] Can i somehow see my HDD make and model, using the terminal? [19:57] thomas__: monitor issue [19:57] reisio: I worked backwards from ubuntu12.04 by stripping it down with tasksel and installing ubuntu server in it's place. [19:58] The reason I ask is I've tried multiple variations and it just doesnt seem to work (although it works fine on multiple 12.04 to the same cups server) [19:58] Reptilia: dmesg, dmidecode, lshw [19:58] Unknown what is your mailing address to send a copy of the ubuntu cdt. [19:58] reisio, i want to. but how? [19:58] rio_zenta: just to fix the menu? [19:58] thomas__: what's the problem? [19:58] reisio, thank you. 1920x1080 won't fill the whole screen. there are borders left and right. [19:58] harmonics: I have plenty of burnt iso's of ubuntu already, thanks [19:59] and its not sharp [19:59] reisio: which menu? oh you mean the bootloader, that was pretty simple. Just needed to modify the boot.ini file. [19:59] Reptilia what is the ip and protocal to look for the hd make and model? [19:59] ah [19:59] What [19:59] okay ... which twitter client could i install on 14.04 to have it integrated with indicator menu? [20:02] spy6 you want twitter troubling you the whole day on your desktop? [20:03] reisio, on the left and right there are about 5cm missing. [20:03] its not an issue with monitor settings [20:03] rio_zenta: just popup on fav/mention [20:04] spy6, I've never come across desktop twitter clients. I recommend you look in the software centre. [20:04] !software [20:04] A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [20:04] aah wrong one. [20:04] !Packages | spy6 [20:04] spy6: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Muon, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [20:04] Do I have to be authenticated to nickserv to talk in here, or are people seeing this? [20:04] rio_zenta: indeed, I'm able to do a "aptitude search twitter" ;) [20:04] Unknown: only I can see it [20:04] ;) ty [20:04] :p [20:04] Unknown we see you. the room would tell you otherwise. [20:05] thats what I thought but i'm using a webbased java applet so wasnt sure [20:05] ubottu: indeed, I know searching a package and how does it work, I'm just debian developer [20:05] spy6: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:05] ubottu: ah, many thanks for the hint :P [20:05] spy6: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:06] spy6: apt-cache search produces a result of package mikutter [20:06] !info mikutter [20:06] mikutter (source: mikutter): plugin-extensible Twitter client.

[20:16] Hi. Can anyone suggest an application to defragment an NTFS partition please? [20:16] hi all, is there a known issue with 14.04 and wget? [20:16] ah ... installing "friends" seems sufficiant [20:17] everytime i download a file it seems to have a different size or the script i am using is fucked up, not sure though [20:17] Xubuntu freezes after installing Chromium, starting it.... Is this a known issue? Tried few HD's already and it's always the same on that laptop. === trism_ is now known as trism [20:18] Tatuus: do you tried with chrome? [20:18] no, i don't want that [20:20] Tatuus: try beta ppa [20:20] Tatuus: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta [20:21] borovaka: ok, i'll try. thanks === mike is now known as Guest43762 === kimphill is now known as Guest31622 [20:23] I'm trying to install the native version of unreal tournament (the first)' but the libgtk1.2 library is missing [20:23] how can I install old stuff like that? === oscailt_ is now known as oscailt [20:23] who's a girl here [20:24] why ? [20:24] lol [20:24] ? [20:24] I searching 1 for my irc server xD [20:24] I am* [20:24] ok, well, this isn't a dating channel [20:24] so please don't ask [20:24] I am nt asking for a date!

How do I remove that? [20:27] quit [20:29] hi all [20:30] why is the file larger then on the server when i download with wget? is there a bug with wget in 14.04 please let me know [20:31] no bug known [20:32] the wierdest part is that the md5sum is the same [20:33] mbit-mbyte issue? [20:33] the file is like 2808120 when its downloaded with wget but it should be 2319400 [20:33] OerHeks: sorry im a newb, and im not sure how i should fix that [20:35] What is wrong with this snippet in bash? http://dpaste.com/2YH78EA/ [20:35] The error message is: "line 20: [start: command not found" [20:36] Even if I remove the interpolated part, it throws this error [20:38] Tatuus: It doesn't freeze for me. [20:38] jost, escape the brackets [20:40] jost, works for me [20:40] jost, the brackets are used in bash, so it confuses it. You either have to use single quotes on that line, which breaks the ${0##*/} part, or escape the brackets. (\[ blah blah \]) [20:40] jost, oh wait, what is your shebang? [20:41] jost, aka the very first line of the script [20:41] phuang#!/usr/bin/env bash [20:41] #!/usr/bin/env bash [20:44] that seems OK, also that script snippet works for me as well [20:45] phunyguy: weird, I get many errors (on a 14.04 server) [20:45] jost whats your bash version "bash --version" [20:45] GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) [20:45] ahh I am on 4.2.45 [20:45] (Gentoo) [20:46] that makes that much difference? [20:46] it may [20:46] I'm on 4.2.37 work on mine [20:46] there is a #bash channel [20:46] you may get better help there for this [20:47] the bash 4.3 release notes should also help [20:47] did someone else has had trouble installing ejabberd on 14.04? upon installtion (purged and installed couple times meanwhile) the service fails to start, ejabberctl always ends with "Failed RPC connection to the node ejabberd@HOST: nodedown" [20:47] Blizzz: no rpc listening or firewall, [20:48] Is there any Linux utility that will test everything in my PC, including the motherboard, and tell me if something is malfunctioning? Thanks in advance. [20:48] Reptilia: not really [20:48] Reptilia: No, there is no such tool. [20:48] ikonia: no firewall configured [20:48] Reptilia: have you any reason to think there is a problem ? [20:48] <_2_ellieafenixx> hey :D [20:49] Blizzz: what do you mean no firewall configured, everything default, or you've totally disabled the firewall manually [20:49] ikonia:Yes [20:49] Reptilia: what do you think is broken and why ? [20:49] ikonia: yes, default [20:49] Blizzz: then there is a firewall configured, and it is blocking rpc [20:50] Reptilia: actually there is [20:50] borovaka: the problem with that laptop was actually related to bad memory chip, replaced it and also Chromium works swell. Weird i guess, but that's it. [20:50] you can see it if you turn on your webcam and look at the bits on your face [20:50] the round ones [20:50] your eyes [20:50] problems don't exist until they do [20:50] ikonia:LCD screen showing flickering, horizontal, parallel lines, made every possible combination of tests and it turns out that it is a PC thing, graphics card is new, bought 2 days ago, so the Motherboard remains the only thing that could be malfunctioning. [20:51] ikonia:And i need a utility or something similar which will run some tests [20:51] Reptilia: just because the graphics card is new doesn't mean it's not broken [20:51] rio_zenta: the problem with that laptop was actually related to bad memory chip, replaced it and also Chromium works swell. Weird i guess, but that's it. [20:51] Reptilia: it also doesn't mean it's a hardware problems, software drivers could also be the issue [20:51] Reptilia: have you tested this in another OS ? [20:52] Reptilia: And it doesnt mean it is plulgged in correctly, it doesnt mean cables are connected properly, it doesnt mean connectors are clean, etc. [20:52] hello, i have a lacie cloudbox and some custom firmware with no docs or support. I am wondering if I can replace it with ubuntu server? it is armv5 architecture. [20:53] kylerain: I'd suggest staying clear of ubuntu on arm [20:53] bummer, too heavy? [20:53] lots of bugs? [20:53] no, just a fix of support, eg: no arm 7 support, community only builds etc etc [20:53] hey, if you're running 14.04 is there going to be a kernel update? [20:54] trinode: there will be kernel updates, yes [20:54] how do I us a DBT-122 bluetooth dongle to get audio to my headset in 12.04? [20:55] ikonia: is there a repo with fully ubuntuized kernels that are WIP? I ask because I need 3.14 for my wireless card, but on 3.14 mainline my laptop's battery litterally halfs. [20:55] ikonia:This happened with the previous graphics card too, but the lines were with a bigger magnitude, especially have turned on a graphics-intensive app/game. The graphics card is tested on another PC, and it is okay, so i doubt it's a g.c. issue. The same happens in Ubuntu / Windows 7. [20:55] trinode: wip ? [20:56] ikonia: work in progress, even if they're not "LTS production ready" [20:56] hje841, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [20:56] trinode: nope [20:56] bekks:It is plugged in correctly, cables are inserted correctly, connectors are cleaned with alcohol, dust removed from PCI slots and cleaned with alcohol. [21:00] gr33n7007h, thanks, but I did that already, but the bluetooth device doesn't show up as an audio device [21:01] hje841, what is it showing up as? [21:02] right now, nothing. lsusb doesn't show it. and dmesg says 'unable to enumerate USB device' [21:03] I tried uncommenting 'AutoConnect=true' in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf but nothing [21:03] trinode, after some time, there will be newer kernels made available to the LTS release when they are released with a newer version of Ubuntu, but that is a ways out. === andyfied_ is now known as andyfied [21:04] it is called the "LTS Hardware Enablement Stack" [21:04] But I wouldn't expect to see any of those released for 14.04 for another 6-9 months. [21:04] hje841, I'm not that well up on bluetooth sorry I can't help further [21:05] gr33n7007h, it's okay, thanks. I might as well upgrade to 14.04 this weekend.. [21:05] how to copy folder A with files over folder B but dont override files that are alrady in folder B? [21:06] hje841, How you upgrading to reinstall? [21:06] s/to/total/ [21:07] saban, man cp... also.. cp with the -n option does what you want [21:07] "--no-clobber" [21:07] tnx [21:07] gr33n7007h, from 12.04 to 14.04.. I usually just delete the partition.. and install [21:07] 'welcome. [21:07] hje841, ok cool :) [21:07] I need to keep a program running after closing ssh, and installed screen, but i remember i had something before where i only needed to connect then came to the same session as I used last time it also had some kind of toolbar on the bottom [21:08] How can i get this again? [21:08] saban: also rsync can do a range of things [21:08] hey folks, looking for some helping installing nvidia drivers [21:08] gr33n7007h, so biggest concern will be backing up my files as I have no /home partition [21:08] I've installed both the normal packages and the swat-x-team packages [21:09] but X doesn't use the driver (even though I can modprobe it) [21:09] medwards: sounds like you're screwed then [21:09] as installing a conflicting PPA = not good [21:09] hje841, you all on / [21:09] hrm [21:09] rosaage: that sounds like it could be byobu [21:09] OK I can go through the process of purging it and starting over [21:09] modprobing the driver doesn't actually make xorg use it, you need to configure X to use it, and if it's not loading on it's own (you shouldn't need to modprobe it) you may have a more serious problem [21:10] gr33n7007h, I have a data partition seperately, but yeah.. everything is on / [21:10] ikonia: yeah thats where I'm at [21:10] there is an xorg folder full of its drivers [21:10] rosaage: byobu is like a layer on top of screen to make screen a little more..intuitive? to new users? [21:10] and there is nothing for nvidia in it [21:10] which seems like the root cause [21:10] medwards: no [21:10] hje841, always good practice to have /home ;) [21:10] gr33n7007h, I know :) [21:10] cp -nR did the work. tnx [21:11] medwards: a.) it should load the module at boot up on it's own b.) you need an xorg.conf or an nvidia modular component.conf to force it to use the "nvidia" driver in xorg [21:11] Thanks! Looks like what i used last time will try it [21:11] gr33n7007h, too lazy to make one [21:11] a) nvidia is in lsmod, I'm assuming from boot time [21:11] hje841, :p [21:11] b) when I try to generate an xorg.conf using X -configure I get an error about how devices and screens don't match up [21:11] medwards: if it's in at boot - why are you modprobing it ? [21:12] hello [21:12] ikonia: to prove to myself I can, just instinct [21:12] I would like to ask for your help [21:12] gr33n7007h, I'll switch to an SSD with the new install, so.. nothing to worry about there [21:12] medwards: you can't - it's already loaded [21:12] medwards: so I'm concerned why you think you can [21:12] fpmvu, so ask your real question. :) [21:12] I created a new user and I cannot run updates with that new user [21:12] hje841, true, and ton faster [21:12] Anyone going to the TexasLinuxFest [21:13] I can sudo in the text terminal (ctrl-alt-f1) but can't in the graphical terminal [21:13] fpmvu, then make them an admin in the user add panel [21:13] ikonia: lets chalk it up to poor thinking. I can verify that nvidia was in lsmod after booting with no other commands [21:13] I am puzzled [21:13] oh [21:13] gr33n7007h, yup [21:13] fpmvu, did you log out and back in after adding sudo access? [21:13] yes [21:13] I even restarted my computer after relogging [21:14] hello I am using compiz and cairo dock and I would like to get rid of the top-panel...I used to have three and removing the other two was quite simple: alt+start right click remove panel but the last...is not willing to disappear. that option is not allowed [21:14] somehow I don't see the admin rights in the gui [21:14] fpmvu, type "groups" at the terminal [21:14] tell me if sudo is there [21:14] (or wheel, can't remember) [21:14] it's sudo and it's there [21:14] SchrodingersScat: byobu with Byobu-enable on is what i needed Thanks [21:14] I added it already [21:15] fpmvu, what error are you getting? [21:15] Hello [21:15] it doesn't accept my pwd [21:15] should I try to change it? [21:16] yes, you should reset it [21:16] 'kay, I'll see if it works [21:16] I need to install a package which is part of a PPA which doesnt have an entry for the latest trusty version. How can i Use the old saucy PPA to get that package ? [21:16] clino: you can't [21:16] hello i speak french [21:16] interesting, even passwd refuses the pwd [21:17] are uou dead ? [21:17] are you, dead [21:17] spouky, what? [21:17] and one more thing... how to make nautilus windows to pop up in the middle of the screen? [21:17] are you, deadare you dead ?

[21:18] phunyguy: thanks for your help, it seems to work with a changed password [21:18] almost stepped on you, ikonia ;) [21:18] fpmvu, cheers [21:18] I'll see if I can set a proper password and if it works [21:18] i got errors [21:19] i got error upgrade saucy-- trusty unicode error > http://pastebin.com/yUvsq8W3 [21:20] alteregoa, you may need to file a bug report [21:20] that doesn't look good :( [21:21] ok I am going home, bbiab [21:21] phunyguy: it seems my keyboard layouts are messed up [21:21] I'll have some fun cleaning it up [21:21] thanks again for your help [21:22] Hi all... Anyone can tell me where pulseaudio is started on a new ubuntu install... I have a custom .xsession that I launch, with only xbmc-standalone as a command. However, pulseaudio still gets started on bootup. Anyone knows where that is started? [21:23] i need to fill a banana ware report [21:23] because the bug report is already fileld 2 months ago [21:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1295971 [21:23] Launchpad bug 1278280 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Trusty) "duplicate for #1295971 ubuntu-release-upgrader crashes with DistUpgrade/sourceslist.py", line 416, in save : UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 97-114: ordinal not in range(128)" [High,In progress] [21:24] i have to upgrade because i want to get rid of this ultra-buggy upstart thing [21:27] alteregoa: trusty still has upstart [21:27] oh [21:27] is there any way to load an installer with a newer kernel? [21:27] and unicorn? [21:28] nashant: no, why would you do that ? [21:28] pink unicorn or something? [21:28] beniwtv, do you want disable pulse at startup? [21:28] alteregoa: utopic has the option of systemd but not default yet [21:28] ikonia: because the current kernel doesn't recognise the sata controller that my ssds are attached to [21:28] nashant: does a later kernel ? [21:29] help me [21:29] ah thank to the human mankind systemd is back in unicorn [21:29] ikonia: possibly, or at least you can make it do so [21:29] nashant: "possibly" ??? "make it do so" ?? [21:29] ikonia: http://theangryangel.co.uk/blog/marvell-88se9172-sata3-under-linux-as-of-320/ [21:29] My computer won't boot to ubuntu [21:30] nashant: where does it say you need a newer kernel ? [21:30] nashant: I see some guy pushing something into "sys" file system on a standard 3.2 kernel [21:30] Thedarkb: explain what you have done and what went wrong, on one line [21:30] ikonia: What kernel does that standard installer use? [21:31] nashant: should be the same as the install [21:31] I dropped my laptop when it was accessing the hard disk [21:31] that should answer that [21:32] Thedarkb: Do you have backups of all of the important data on this disk? [21:32] ikonia: I have no idea which kernel the install has. Haven't been able to install [21:32] I didn't bother [21:32] !info linux-image [21:32] Package linux-image does not exist in trusty [21:32] Now I wish I did [21:32] !info linux-kernel [21:32] Package linux-kernel does not exist in trusty [21:32] !info linux-kernel-image [21:32] Package linux-kernel-image does not exist in trusty [21:33] It boots until it's about to show the login screen then it crashes [21:33] Locks up totally [21:33] Repeatedly reading the same sector [21:33] I can still boot to windows though [21:34] Thedarkb: How important is the data to you? If it's very important then you should stop using the drive completely right now to avoid further damage. [21:34] got a new laptop with freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04, norwegian keyboard layout... the AltGr key pops up a context-menu (as if I right-clicked something) rather than letting me chose alternate characters on the keyboard... settings -> keyboard has both "compose key" and "alternative characters key" set to disabled as default, I've tried to change them to "right alt" one at a time, but it didn't [21:34] help... any ideas? [21:34] Well according to chkdsk I only killed 12 sectors [21:34] nashant: 3.1.19 [21:35] Thedarkb: Were you booted into Windows or Ubuntu when you dropped the computer? [21:35] Ubuntu [21:35] ikonia: so still not 3.2.0. There's really no way of injecting a newer kernel into the installer? [21:35] nashant: no === SJrX is now known as SJr [21:35] nashant: however I'd check if 3.2 is really needed [21:36] Thedarkb: Then some number of damaged secgtors on your Windows partition probably indicates many more damaged sectors in your Ubuntu partition, as those sectors were more likely to have been in use. [21:36] ikonia: Well I'm trying it on the current one and it's not working at all. No love from them at all. Works on 2.6.x though. [21:36] I scanned the ubuntu partiton [21:36] Thedarkb: How important is the data to you? If it's very important then you should stop using the drive completely right now to avoid further damage. [21:36] nashant: trying what on the current one ? === Marco is now known as Guest31011 [21:37] Jordan_U: I'm too busy frantically backing up [21:37] ikonia: To push the vendor/device IDs to the ahci driver [21:37] Thedarkb: How important is the data to you? This is an important question. [21:38] nashant: not sure how that will fly on a livecd [21:38] Jordan_U: I could live without it [21:38] Thedarkb: OK. Are you currently booted into Ubuntu or Windows? [21:38] gr33n7007h: yep [21:39] Windows, I told you prior that Ubuntu won't load fully [21:40] ikonia: I suppose I could disconnect the other drives, put the ssds on the controller that works, upgrade to 3.2+ kernel, push the IDs to the driver and then put the SSDs back on the Marvell one. But I don't know if the new device IDs would stic [21:40] k [21:40] I'm opening my linux partition in a hex editor [21:40] omg marvell [21:40] nashant: how are you going to upgrade to a 3.2 kernel ? [21:40] nashant: there isn't a package for it [21:40] The first few kilobytes are null [21:40] ikonia: manually [21:41] sounds like a bad idea, but it's up to you [21:42] It's really not what I would like to do [21:42] Thedarkb: I would recommend booting from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB to recover files. Also, check the SMART status of the drive. [21:42] It isn't even really a partition [21:43] But I'm trying to set up Xen with ATI passthrough to run an XBMC domU, and I'm not having any love at all [21:43] It's a partition within the windows partition [21:43] Thedarkb: Are you using Wubi? [21:43] Yup [21:43] I'm on precise pangolin I think [21:43] Thedarkb: I highly recommend against using Wubi. [21:44] Why, It's been stable for years === kobalt is now known as Guest96636 [21:44] Thedarkb: You've been lucky for years then :) [21:44] beniwtv, you could uncomment `; autospawn = yes autospawn = no` in /etc/pulse/client.conf [21:44] ikonia: And the only other thing I can think of is running an Ubuntu dom0 with XBMC and then everything else on top of that [21:44] somebody here nows how to crack a WEP password with aircrack-ng ? I tried and give a error , somebody can help? [21:44] Lenovo format drives in a way preventing partitioning [21:44] I had no choice [21:45] gr33n7007h: Thanks, will try that [21:45] beniwtv, thats semi-colon is a comment remove it ;) [21:45] Thedarkb: 4 primary partitions? [21:45] gr33n7007h: Figured as much :) [21:46] beniwtv, ;p [21:46] Yup, and none deleteable [21:46] Guest96636, That's not an ubuntu related question is it? [21:46] One of them holds the factory reset stuff [21:46] One windows [21:46] And one junk [21:47] someday a real rain come down and wash all those ubuntu bugs away from the repositorys [21:47] I'm gonna need to play with GParted for a whiiile to fix this one [21:47] Thedarkb: Anyway, at the grub menu select "recovery mode" and run fsck from there to try to fix the filesystem metadata damage. Damage to file contents can't really be helped much. [21:48] Tried [21:48] Thedarkb: And? [21:48] Locked up after 4 seconds [21:48] Thedarkb: What steps did you perform exactly? [21:48] I put ubuntu into recovery mode and tried to drop to root prompt [21:49] Didn;t work [21:49] I then tried fsck [21:49] And my system locked [21:49] 65-khmer.conf line 32 out of memory [21:49] lol === Nyle is now known as stoned [21:50] Thedarkb: What do you mean by "didn't work"? [21:51] I couldn't log in [21:52] Thedarkb: What happened when you tried to log in? (And in the future, please try to be as detailed as possible so I don't have to ask as many follow up questions like this) [21:57] I recently purchased the vaio duo 11 and am wondering if I could install ubuntu touch on it and have it work normal.

[22:06] luvs2spooge: not sure if you've already googled it... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2096375 [22:07] f00dMonsta: yeah I am reading this thread right now [22:08] f00dMonsta: this only pertains to ubuntu 12 and there is some bug with the multi touch [22:08] hope it was fixed by this point [22:10] luvs2spooge: You can always test things via the LiveCD/USB before installing. [22:10] * f00dMonsta agree with Jordan_U === turtle_ is now known as tecrbsizp24 [22:11] hi [22:13] f00dMonsta, Yes. Firefox has the old flash player. [22:13] f00dMonsta, Get the current version of flash (13.x) and it'll be fine. [22:15] anyone here have ipv6 wizardy [22:16] im having a beast of a time with SLAAC [22:17] just going to dump.. I have a machine on my network that gives out router-advertisements, but my ubu box never puts a router-solicitation on the wire [22:17] i can get it to do one with rdisc6 [22:17] but when i flip the interface, it never poops on out [22:17] driving me nuts [22:19] mexi_d3: I already have the latest stable version installed 11.2.202.359 [22:19] mexi_d3: for linux that is [22:19] f00dMonsta, Chrome has 13.x [22:20] mexi_d3: they pretty much develop their own flash plugin [22:20] hm decided to install all updates maybe that will help .. cross-topic accidental assist [22:20] f00dMonsta, And it works on vimeo. I think there's some pepperflash ppa to get 13.x into Firefox [22:21] f00dMonsta, You could also try disabling Flash and seeing if they detect that and serve you HTML5 instead [22:23] mexi_d3: i ended up just downloading the video... youtube is fine, so are all the other video players (that I've tried)... just vimeo being a pain [22:26] And people say XP sucks as it's not served by security updates anymore. Flash 11! [22:26] xp is fine... [22:26] the best security is usage habits [22:27] nothing can protect people from ignorance and stupidity :P [22:27] i'd say running an unsupported version of flash was a bit dodgy [22:28] Bearing in mind the sheer number of holes in flash [22:28] they still do updates to it apparantly... just no new features [22:29] Does anyone know of a good way to manage a harmony remote with ubuntu specifically the harmony ultimate [22:29] That's news to me [22:30] They don't even update the Android one anymore and that's far more commonly used than the desktop linux version [22:30] The update is the new one in chrome [22:30] sigh... i hope we phase out of flash asap [22:31] I'm still stumped as to how I can make right Alt give me other characters, rather than bringing up a context menu.. any ideas? [22:31] I don't like chrome that much... only reason why I used it on windows was cos firefox froze too much... don't have that problem on ubuntu tho [22:32] yeah [22:32] well except when the flash player crashes... [22:32] If you want the new one there is a 3rd party ppa for it. It's called pepperflash. [22:33] i thought it doesn't work with firefox [22:33] different api and stuff [22:33] yeah [22:34] it does now [22:34] allegedly [22:35] i don't know [22:36] https://github.com/mozilla/shumway [22:36] mozilla is making their own flash vm apparantly [22:36] maybe this? http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html [22:36] but I doubt it's production ready === david is now known as Guest68755 [22:37] He's made a hack to use pepper in firefx [22:37] says hardware accel not working, which sucks when watching videos...

[22:38] another method: use pipelight... http://askubuntu.com/a/418329/89092 [22:38] anyway getting off work bai [22:39] hi ubuntu folks, is there a way to tell an ubuntu live system which file/filesystem it should use for persistence? [22:39] yes there is [22:39] i'm reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence, and there seems to be no option shown [22:41] anyone know about mint? or why it says that it needs to restart evertime it boots? [22:41] yes [22:41] ok [22:41] jendop: how? i'm building a multiboot usb stick with grub2 installed. i need several persistence-files because there will be more than one live-system [22:42] never had good luck with grub [22:42] could be me [22:42] the system is booting fine, but i want to add persistence now [22:43] dual boot? [22:43] i have two live systems on there currently [22:43] kill one.. :-) [22:44] windows? [22:44] if ubuntu doesn't take a parameter for the casper-rw file/filesystem, i'll have to solve it through grub [22:44] i gave up windows.. trust me... [22:44] have i mentioned windows anywhere? ;) [22:45] didn't have to [22:45] i'm building this on gentoo linux [22:45] i know [22:45] i want to have a couple of different linux distributions live-bootable on one usb drive [22:45] i like a clean install [22:45] ok [22:46] they have a bunch of forums that discuss this subject [22:47] i've found no answer to multiple persistence files on the same drive [22:47] i play with a bunch of OSs but i like the one i'm on [22:47] all i read is it keeps looking for either a filesystem with the label casper-rw, or a file on the rootfs of the drive called casper-rw [22:47] Hi. Do I need to compile a custom kernel to get macvtap support? [22:48] brb [22:48] i could try to map the according casper-rw filesystem with grub for each live-system! [22:49] man, i'm not a really good source of information.. but keep going [22:50] orion: 14.04 has CONFIG_MACVTAP=m [22:50] all i know is i'm running ubuntu 14.04.. out of the ISO file. works great [22:51] my system from now on.. maybe... :) [22:52] happy when you're happy Tin_man ;) [22:52] how do i remove something i installed?
