| kellevan | is there a way to save this state, so that when i boot i automatically boot into the arrangement i've pre-determined? | 00:01 |
| owen1 | how to make my thinkpad's trackpoint faster? | 00:02 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: It does not have any output, it just mounts it | 00:03 |

| __raven_ | 14.04 upgrade brings completely broken networking. resolvconv reinstall and edit of nslookup did not help. what is the solution for that? | 00:09 |
| deans | Hurrah! I found the answer. | 00:09 |
| humbag | ..? | 00:10 |
| mojtaba | Bashing-om: Any result? | 00:11 |
| Bashing-om | mojtaba: The UUIDs aggree, the mount point does exist, the partition is formatted 'ext4', the format of fstab is correct, you can mount 'sda1' from terminal // It is above my level of knowledge as to why the system does not automount 'sda1'. | 00:11 |
| deans | The answer is that nothing was displayed because there was a carriage return after each line and the last line was blank so when I removed all the new-line characters the carriage return backed-over the results | 00:11 |
| __raven_ | 14.04 upgrade brings completely broken networking. resolvconv reinstall and edit of nslookup did not help. what is the solution for that? | 00:11 |
| daftykins | __raven_: can you describe to the channel in more detail what 'completely broken' means? are you missing the interface? | 00:11 |
| daftykins | __raven_: please do not repeat yourself. | 00:11 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know why my /sda1 does not auto-mount? PLEASE HELP | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: I'm trying to help but you're not answering my questions. | 00:12 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: You said does it have any output, I said no. | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: Ahh, sorry I missed that comment. | 00:13 |
| __raven_ | daftykins: slow/no connection, timeouts, no dns lookups... | 00:13 |
| humbag | deans i guess that is funny, in hindsight | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: Is this a phone / netbook / tablet? | 00:14 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: none of them | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: What type of computer is it? | 00:14 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: PI | 00:14 |
| Bashing-om | Jordan_U: -> mojtaba // I also would like to know. as stated over my head now. | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: Ok. Where did you get the Ubuntu image for your Rasberry Pi? | 00:15 |
| nikonmx | Hi | 00:16 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: that is raspbian which is like ubuntu | 00:16 |
| deans | humbag: I still feel like the result is wrong ... I should see the last line despite the carriage-return | 00:16 |
| deans | humbag: the carriage return shouldn't delete the characters? | 00:17 |
| deans | humbag: sorry, not the last lie -- the longest line and parts of shorter ones | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: Apparently not enough like Ubuntu to handle /etc/fstab normally. This channel only supports Ubuntu. Try ##linux for generic linix support. | 00:17 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: Thank you so much for your help | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: You're welcome. | 00:18 |
| Bashing-om | Jordan_U: -> mojtaba Thanks, makes me feel like I am not a total idiot . | 00:19 |
| mojtaba | Bashing-om: I did not get you | 00:19 |
| humbag | deans: apparently not: printf "foo\rbar\r" | 00:20 |
| Bashing-om | mojtaba: Like Jordan_U advised. something in pi is not ubuntu, and is not handling fstab like ubuntu does. | 00:20 |
| Snowleaksange | lol it install grub to wrong mbr | 00:20 |
| Snowleaksange | now if i try to boot my hd i install usb on, it gives me file not found, grub rescue. if i try to boot my windows hd, it give me grub! | 00:21 |

| Snowleaksange | and then i can boot my other hd | 00:21 |
| Snowleaksange | s/usb on/linux on/ | 00:21 |
| Bashing-om | mojtaba: I was glad to try to assist. It was not a wasted effort. | 00:22 |
| deans | humbag: I guess I don't understand what a carriage return is -- I thought it moved the cursor but didn't "erase" any existing text | 00:22 |
| mojtaba | Bashing-om: I really appreciate it | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: It's an intersting problem, and I'd love to try to help further, in ##linux. | 00:23 |
| jsheldon | isn't there a different between a carriage return and a line feed? or is that no longer the case? | 00:23 |
| Snowleaksange | how the hell do i open a terminal | 00:23 |
| humbag | ctrl-alt-t | 00:23 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: I think if you could help, you could do it here. (my opinion) | 00:23 |
| Snowleaksange | lol ok that worked | 00:23 |
| Snowleaksange | kinda boggles the mind that i cant easily click to open terminal | 00:24 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: it used to be the center mouse button anywhere provided a way but I think now you can use ctrl-alt-t | 00:24 |
| Snowleaksange | sure i dont mind memorizing random keyboard codes | 00:24 |
| Snowleaksange | great design | 00:25 |
| humbag | cliquer c'est passé | 00:25 |
| jsheldon | i think ctrl-alt-t probably stands for terminal ;-) | 00:25 |
| jsheldon | so not so random | 00:26 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: In the past I had make SUPER-L my hotkey to open a terminal but ever since 8.04 that doesn't seem to be allowed (although it works if you install 8.04, set the keyboard shortcut, then upgrade) | 00:26 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: it is a better design than the new cryptographic symbols which have been replacing words in "applications" like gmail | 00:27 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: at least you don't have to hit the square with a swooshy thing to xyz | 00:27 |
| Snowleaksange | think i have to disagree there deans. you can mouseover icons to get description of them. i had to ask on irc how to open terminal | 00:27 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: isn't it in the "start" menu? | 00:28 |
| humbag | on a mac i think it's apple-t, on openbox it's windows-t | 00:28 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: you can also use ctrl-alt-F[123456] to get access to the command line | 00:29 |
| Snowleaksange | thanks i think ctrl-alt-t will be enough for me | 00:30 |
| deans | ctrl-alt-F[1..6] is better for switching between "known" terminals fast | 00:30 |
| deans | If I know a certain things is always open on ctrl-alt-F4 I can get to it faster | 00:31 |
| Snowleaksange | im really just visting linux... | 00:31 |
| Snowleaksange | once i make and test some builds will release them and return to my beloved macbook air | 00:32 |
| deans | Snowleaksange: I like linux better. Not so much Ubuntu but I feel I must use it because it is so well supported. | 00:32 |
| deans | Ubuntu seems to be moving backwords by hiding more and more information from users and things of this nature. | 00:33 |
| Snowleaksange | i wouldnt be such an apple fanyboy except that microsoft and linux make me appreciate it so much | 00:33 |

| Imdsm | I am trying to install 13.10 along side windows. sda1 is recovery, sda2 is windows, sda3 is what I am trying to use for ubuntu with sda5 (logical) as swap. I previously installed 14.04 LTS which booted fine with grub, but it had bugs. So I removed that and installed 13.10, but now grub is broken. I just boot to recovery mode. | 00:36 |
| Imdsm | I'm now reinstalling 13.10 onto sda3, but wondered, before I reboot, how can I fix grub? | 00:37 |

| TuxThunder | Imdsm: grub has an option to tell where to install itself | 00:37 |
| TuxThunder | I believe it's grub -i /dev/whatever | 00:37 |
| Imdsm | would that be /dev/sda? | 00:37 |

| thecha | Hi i am an ubuntu user and i have accidently overwritten the locale.gen, how do i fix this? | 00:38 |
| Imdsm | TuxThunder: it complained about missing 'normal.mod' | 00:38 |
| Imdsm | I wondered whether it had left grub on from the previous install (14.04) maybe | 00:38 |
| TuxThunder | That I don't know about the :-/ | 00:38 |

| Snowleaksange | this is a nightmare | 01:49 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: this? | 01:49 |
| Snowleaksange | oh i didnt install build-essential | 01:50 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: consider not installing a bunch of random packages.. try and stay in repo | 01:50 |
| Snowleaksange | wonder how many other random build-semi-essential packages left to discover | 01:50 |
| Snowleaksange | actually i still have no /usr/include/sys | 01:51 |
| Snowleaksange | so at least 1 | 01:51 |
| holstein | none, if in repo.. dependencies will resolve | 01:51 |
| Snowleaksange | how do i determine what package i need for /usr/include/sys/types.h ? | 01:51 |
| holstein | what are you trying to accomplish? | 01:51 |
| Snowleaksange | im trying to INSTALL APPROPRIATE FILE INTO /usr/include/sys/types.h | 01:52 |

| holstein | Snowleaksange: "better" is a matter of opinion.. | 01:53 |
| Radon_3 | hi everybody, can I ask a question about Kget application in here? not usage of the application, the running proccess of it? | 01:53 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: you can put what you need there.. for that file.. but, it seems like you may be just trying to make ubuntu be something else? | 01:53 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: what are you looking for at /usr/include/sys? and why? what makes you think anything is missing? | 01:54 |
| Snowleaksange | dpkg -S /usr/include/sys/types.h says nothing | 01:54 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: right.. | 01:54 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: dpkg is for package management.. not for asking about file locations.. what do you need there, friend? | 01:55 |
| Snowleaksange | hmm maybe i need apt-get update | 01:55 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: maybe? | 01:55 |
| Snowleaksange | im finding refereces on web to libc6-dev-i386 | 01:55 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: if you want to update your system, thats one way to do it.. do you want/need to update? | 01:56 |
| Snowleaksange | holstein no offense but youre obviously a noob | 01:56 |

| Snowleaksange | i dunno why there isnt an libc6-dev-i386 | 02:06 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: there are none man, does kget have some log of some sort? | 02:06 |
| holstein | Snowleaksange: what does the application you are trying to compile need? | 02:06 |
| holstein | Radon_3: you can try running it from the command line.. | 02:07 |
| Snowleaksange | holstein; type man socket. see how it says #incluyde <sys/types.h> ? that doesnt work for me. because i have no /usr/include/sys dir | 02:07 |

| Snowleaksange | my Q is what package to install to get /usr/include/sys ? | 02:12 |

| teward | Snowleaksange, does this help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/414110/wheres-my-usr-include-sys-directory | 02:13 |
| teward | that seems to be the question you asked | 02:13 |
| teward | (ignoring that the question refers to an upgrade to 13.04, it might still be relevant) | 02:13 |
| Snowleaksange | yeah im hoping that not official answer | 02:14 |
| Snowleaksange | theres a lot of symbollic links to make | 02:14 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away | ||
| Snowleaksange | that was abbreviated as "..etc" in the answer | 02:14 |
| Snowleaksange | anyway if thats official answer im def going centos | 02:14 |
| Snowleaksange | theres also a lot of other conflicting answers if you keep googling teward | 02:15 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: Any ideas? | 02:15 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, which version of Ubuntu are you on? It may be different per version... | 02:16 |
| teward | (and I have VMs of each supported release, I can always poke them and see) | 02:16 |
| Snowleaksange | 14.04 | 02:17 |
| teward | one moment then please | 02:17 |
| Snowleaksange | thanks a lot | 02:17 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, try installing the libc6-dev-amd64 package. | 02:19 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: you gone ? :( | 02:19 |
| teward | http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libc6-dev-amd64/filelist suggests that has the /usr/include/sys/* stuff | 02:19 |
| holstein | Radon_3: no.. | 02:20 |
| Snowleaksange | hm yeah but im on 32 bit machine | 02:20 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: so any suggestions man? | 02:20 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, it's an i386 package | 02:20 |
| teward | lemme check what the i386 package has | 02:20 |
| Snowleaksange | ah ok well ill try it | 02:20 |
| Snowleaksange | yeah i really thought i needed a libc6-dev-i386 | 02:20 |
| Snowleaksange | thats what some answers said | 02:20 |
| Snowleaksange | but there is none | 02:20 |
| holstein | Radon_3: where did you get kget? | 02:20 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: from the repositories | 02:21 |
| Radon_3 | 'apt-get install kget' | 02:21 |
| holstein | Radon_3: no ppa's? | 02:21 |
| Radon_3 | no ppa's I don't like them | 02:21 |
| Radon_3 | I only go official | 02:22 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, libc6-dev-i386 is in the amd64 builds, libc6-dev-amd64 is in the i386 builds | 02:22 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, that's your problem - the -amd64 variant seems to be the 32bit package, and the -i386 variant seems to be the 64bit package | 02:22 |
| Snowleaksange | heh yes! | 02:23 |
| === vladhaun- is now known as vladhaund | ||
| Snowleaksange | installing the amd64 filled my /usr/incluyde/sys with links to (not the 64 bit dir) but the i386 dir | 02:23 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: could it be because I am on unity and not using kde ? | 02:23 |
| Snowleaksange | ok great that fixes me. | 02:23 |
| holstein | Radon_3: sure.. but, it should get what it needs | 02:23 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, see? doesn't being calm and answering people's questions when they try to get information on an issue you're having help? :0 | 02:24 |
| teward | :) * | 02:24 |
| avery | heyo | 02:24 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: I kind of need it to work man .... | 02:24 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, I can't guarantee you'll get all the header files you'll need, but it's a start | 02:24 |
| holstein | Radon_3: oh, i hear you.. but, im saying, it *should* pull in what it needs and work | 02:24 |
| Snowleaksange | yeah guess so :) | 02:24 |
| holstein | Radon_3: looks related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4libs/+bug/959151 | 02:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 959151 in kde4libs (Ubuntu) "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave." [Low,Invalid] | 02:25 |
| holstein | Radon_3: are you on 14.04? are you up to date with updates? | 02:25 |
| psusi | I believe that libc6-dev-amd64 is for cross compiling 64 bit apps on a 32 bit system, and vice versa | 02:26 |
| Snowleaksange | you would think that given the name would you psusi | 02:27 |
| psusi | for compiling apps for whichever arch you are on, you just use libc6-dev | 02:27 |
| Snowleaksange | woudldnt you | 02:27 |
| teward | psusi, according to -devel that's what it's for. | 02:27 |
| Goncalof | Hi all | 02:27 |
| Snowleaksange | but actually libc6-dev-amd64 is what supplies the i386 version of /usr/include/sys | 02:27 |
| psusi | well, no, from the name I would think -amd64 was for use on -amd64 | 02:27 |
| Snowleaksange | probably in addition to amd64 cross compiling libs, not sure about that | 02:27 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, as psusi said, you may also just want to install libc6-dev. | 02:27 |
| psusi | yes, because it is for cross compiling amd64 programs *from* a 32 bit system | 02:27 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, i may have been incorrect in my initial assessment | 02:27 |
| Snowleaksange | already had that installed teward | 02:27 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: I am on 12.04 | 02:28 |
| psusi | which is why the -amd64 package is only in the :i386 arch | 02:28 |
| Snowleaksange | /usr/inclyde/sys is for lot more than cross compilation | 02:28 |
| teward | hmm | 02:28 |
| Snowleaksange | and you dont overwrite /usr/include/sys for each arch you want to cross compile for | 02:29 |
| teward | psusi, i think this needs further devel discussion. libc6-dev fails to install a /usr/include/sys package | 02:29 |
| Goncalof | I'm looking for some help with my powerpc g5 i'd like some change and was hoping to get some info here. Anyone ? | 02:29 |
| holstein | !ppc | 02:29 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 02:29 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: can you please stay around for a little while? I am gonna restart the system I guess I have found the source of the problem.... so can you? | 02:29 |
| Radon_3 | this might be intresting | 02:29 |
| holstein | Radon_3: if im not here, many volunteers are.. but i should be here a bit | 02:30 |
| Radon_3 | ok, great | 02:30 |
| Radon_3 | thanks | 02:30 |
| Goncalof | thank you holtein will look into it | 02:30 |
| Snowleaksange | yeah the /usr/include/sys files are def in the wrong package, going by package descriptions | 02:30 |
| Snowleaksange | maybe theres some technical hack for the packaging system that makes it conveniant to put them there, but its really confusing | 02:30 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, actually i'm curious on that, and i'm poking the dev team now, because me curious is a bad thing :P | 02:30 |
| teward | Snowleaksange, i can think of one hack... symlink folders around. but that's a lengthy workaround, but meh. | 02:31 |
| DesignerX | hi, is there a way to run a program & log it's activity like what files it uses & permissions of these files ? | 02:31 |
| Snowleaksange | conveniant to put them s/there/inthe amd64 package/ | 02:32 |
| kostkon | DesignerX, lsof | 02:32 |
| modernbob | anyone know where I can get info on command line tools to look at network traffic as in wireshark | 02:32 |

| Snowleaksange | tcpdump | 02:34 |
| modernbob | Snowleaksange: thank you | 02:34 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: nope, I thought it was because I somethings I installed lastnight, but nope. | 02:39 |

| Goncalof | holstein from what i understand in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#How_do_I_boot_from_a_USB_drive.3F i need to already have ubuntu for this ? ô_Ô | 02:44 |
| holstein | Goncalof: i just boot the CD and install | 02:45 |
| Goncalof | Nevermind i found a link in it for a mac sollution | 02:45 |
| holstein | Goncalof: apple doesnt tend to faciliate USB boot, so, i just go with what they do | 02:45 |
| Goncalof | well the problem is my dvd drive is well "retired" | 02:46 |
| chad | Q) is there a way to hide the menu bar the same way you can hide the dock (hidden until your mouse hits the edge of the resolution border)? | 02:46 |
| holstein | Goncalof: sure, but if the machine *only* boot it, you'll need to get one | 02:47 |
| holstein | Goncalof: i just swapped in a different one on my older PPC mac's | 02:47 |
| CatBurglerV8 | I'm still contemplating installing jmf | 02:48 |
| DesignerX | can I use lsof to start a program like lsof -c "sudo vmware" ? | 02:48 |
| Goncalof | i just got the one mac for like 9 years now :-) I read that my mac should be able to boot from usb but it requires some kind of yaboot | 02:48 |
| holstein | Goncalof: i would just put an optical drive in | 02:48 |
| holstein | Goncalof: all the tricks i have used to boot usb on mac were using a bootable cd to start the process.. | 02:49 |
| chad | no ideas on hiding the menu bar? | 02:49 |
| holstein | Goncalof: you should be able to find a DVD rom drive that would work in that machine for free/very-cheap somewhere | 02:49 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: you wanna know something intresting? All the other KDE applications are working just fine, only kget is messing around... | 02:49 |

| Onia | *** I am now away. Reason: Idle. *** | 02:50 |
| Radon_3 | could it be because maybe I was hacked? | 02:52 |
| holstein | Radon_3: were you? i doubt one would target only kget | 02:52 |
| SchrodingersScat | Radon_3: have you been hacked? | 02:52 |
| holstein | Radon_3: all i can offer is alternatives.. wget.. other download managers | 02:53 |
| Radon_3 | I don't know folks, I was only guessing.... maybe I was hacked yesterday, now the effects of it was that kget won't work anymore | 02:53 |
| holstein | Radon_3: otherwise, you could try 14.04 live CD, and see if the issue is there, and consider moving up to the next LTS if its worth that to you.. or, add a PPA for the application to 12.04 | 02:53 |
| holstein | Radon_3: you need to confirm if you were hacked or not, regardless of kget.. | 02:54 |
| Radon_3 | maybe they missed, or miss placed somethings | 02:54 |
| holstein | Radon_3: did they? | 02:55 |
| holstein | Radon_3: i mean, i would know they didnt, or fresh install 14.04 ASAP | 02:56 |

| holstein | Radon_3: 14.04 is released april (the .04 part) af 2014 (the 14 part). so, its been out for a bit now | 03:00 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: no what? | 03:00 |
| holstein | Radon_3: no, 14.04 is *not* testing | 03:00 |
| Radon_3 | holstein: so why the option is not yet available for 12.04 users? | 03:00 |
| Jeeves_Moss | how can I throubleshoot why I can't connect to the internet? I can ping the local subnet, but, after doing an update, I can't connect to the internet now. | 03:00 |
| holstein | Radon_3: its held back til the 14.04.1 release | 03:01 |
| holstein | Radon_3: you dont want to upgrade, anyway | 03:01 |
| holstein | Radon_3: if you think you have been hacked, you need to assume *all* is compromised.. and fresh install, after confirming you dont have a bios hack that will reinfect | 03:01 |
| Radon_3 | you guys are so pushing me, I am gonna do it.... | 03:01 |
| Radon_3 | alright here we go | 03:01 |
| holstein | Radon_3: i assure you, im not pushing anything | 03:01 |
| CatBurglerV8 | does someone have some pull with oracle ? | 03:02 |
| Radon_3 | ok, how should I upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04? | 03:02 |
| Radon_3 | how can I do it? | 03:03 |
| holstein | CatBurglerV8: someone at oracle would.. contact them | 03:03 |
| holstein | Radon_3: no | 03:03 |
| Radon_3 | I mean without loosing much... | 03:03 |
| holstein | Radon_3: as i said, if you have been compromised, you need to wipe and fresh install and be careful what you backup and how | 03:03 |
| holstein | Radon_3: you *want* to lose much | 03:03 |

| Radon_3 | holstein: is there some way I could determine if I have been hacked? And why not? | 03:05 |
| holstein | Radon_3: any guide you find like http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-12-04 will help you upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.. and you should *not* do that | 03:05 |
| Radon_3 | why should I not do that? | 03:05 |
| holstein | Radon_3: as i said, frien, if you have been hacked, you have been hacked. the upgrade can leave your hacked system in place | 03:06 |
| Radon_3 | man I am so confused now ... | 03:06 |
| holstein | Radon_3: if you have ben hacked, dont upgrade.. fresh install | 03:06 |
| SchrodingersScat | Radon_3: why would you trust a compromised system? | 03:06 |
| Radon_3 | Ok, I get the message, thank you guys, but how can Isee if I was hacked ... | 03:07 |
| Radon_3 | ? | 03:07 |
| holstein | Radon_3: now, you reallly cant | 03:07 |
| holstein | Radon_3: you can do things *before* getting hacked, and see what files were changed, or be notified when things change.. but, you need to keep that copy in a safe place.. | 03:08 |
| Radon_3 | I wish I had some NESUS thingy in place ;( | 03:08 |
| Radon_3 | or a TIGER .... I have tiger installed, can I check things with that? | 03:09 |
| holstein | Radon_3: not now | 03:09 |
| holstein | Radon_3: if tiger or *anything* or *everything* was compromised, you cant trust it | 03:09 |
| ziyourenxiang | does ubuntu publish official checksums of files somewhere? i ran aide on several installations and the checksums are the same, so looks fine to me, but will be good if there is an “official” source | 03:09 |

| Jeeves_Moss | holstein, it's weird. everything was working before, and the router has the same ACL as the other working Linux boxes | 03:25 |
| aq_ | killkim: What was the question? | 03:25 |
| killkim | well honstein, that was my first response | 03:25 |
| holstein | killkim: you know how to hide the dock? | 03:25 |
| killkim | that's not what i asked | 03:25 |
| ianorlin | at the top is what you are asking | 03:25 |
| holstein | killkim: this is what im asking.. do you know how to hide the dock? | 03:25 |
| killkim | oh, yeah | 03:26 |
| holstein | killkim: so, you want to hide the menubar along the top in unity? | 03:26 |
| killkim | there is no auto-hide option i can find for the menu bar like there is for the launcher/dock :\ | 03:26 |
| killkim | yes holstein | 03:26 |
| holstein | killkim: i would use a panel that has that option | 03:26 |
| killkim | holstein: i'm not sure what that means | 03:27 |
| holstein | killkim: i would use a technology that does what i seek.. AFAIK< the panel stays in place.. i would go with xfce which has a panel that hides.. and docks you can add that hide | 03:28 |
| killkim | so by "i would use a technology that ..." you mean use a different "launcher" ? | 03:29 |
| holstein | killkim: i mean, if you want a desktop where you have full control over hiding all elements, there are many, and many other elements to try | 03:30 |
| killkim | literally (precisely) all i want to do is have the menu bar hide/show like the dock does on mouseover :\ | 03:30 |
| holstein | killkim: customization and total control is not what unity is seeking to provide.. but, something like KDE is providing many options.. | 03:30 |
| holstein | killkim: sure.. it doesnt | 03:31 |
| killkim | so you suggest to use something other than unity? | 03:31 |
| killkim | since i'm too picky | 03:31 |
| holstein | killkim: its not intended to facilitate that happening.. but literally every other menubar/panel does | 03:31 |
| holstein | killkim: im not suggesting you are too picky.. im saying, if you want different functionality, try a different product | 03:32 |
| killkim | nah man, sorry, i didn't mean that you were suggesting i'm picky | 03:32 |
| killkim | i'm just pointing out my own flaws | 03:32 |
| holstein | killkim: i dont think its a flaw at all.. i mean if you want to hide it, hide it.. but its just not a feature of unity | 03:33 |
| killkim | ^ | 03:33 |
| killkim | exactly what i needed to hear | 03:33 |

| holstein | Jeeves_Moss: enjoy.. at least you know where the issue is | 03:37 |
| john--- | I would like to interject for just a moment | 03:37 |
| john--- | to speak to you about why Ubuntu is not free software | 03:38 |
| holstein | john---: use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for non-support questions | 03:38 |

| hiro__ | Hi all. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I've installed pipelight-multi and netflix-desktop from ppa:pipelight/stable . When I attempt to launch netflix-desktop or use Firefox or Chromium with a Windows user agent, Netflix asks me to install Silverlight | 03:42 |
| hiro__ | I have already run sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight | 03:42 |
| hiro__ | can anyone help? | 03:42 |
| wilee-nilee | hiro__, Netflix is a ppa, ppa's are not technically supported. | 03:43 |
| killkim | ^aka wrong room for support on netflix app :\ | 03:44 |
| wilee-nilee | hiro__, you may get help though, just a heads up | 03:44 |
| killkim | right on.. netflix app works fine on my ubuntu box :D | 03:44 |
| joe_dm | you Americans and your netflix, just taunting the rest of us :( | 03:45 |
| john--- | When I say free, I do not mean free as in free beer -- I mean free as in the concept of liberty. Ubuntu is an operatng system that does not respect your freedoms. The GNU project speaks of the four essential freedoms, required for a piece of software to be free. You should have the freedom to run the program as you wish, no matter what the purpose. You should have the freedom to study how the program works, and change it so that it does your | 03:45 |
| john--- | computing as you wish. You should have access to the source code, so that you can study and modify the program. You should have the freedom to redistribute copies of the software so that you can help your neighbor. Finally, you should have the freedom to distribute copies of your modified programs to others. Only a piece of software that provides all of these freedoms is considered free software. Ubuntu does not provide all of these freedom | 03:45 |
| joe_dm | :'( | 03:45 |
| john--- | s -- it distributes non-free software in every aspect of the system. The kernel contains non-free binary blobs. You cannot study these blobs, and you cannot modify them. Ubuntu distributes non-free drivers...You cannot study these drivers, to see how your system works. You cannot modify them, to change how your system works. Finally, Ubuntu includes non-free software in the repositories. You cannot study this non-free software, you cannot se | 03:45 |
| john--- | e what it is doing on your computer. You cannot modify this software to your specifications -- if you don't like what the program is doing, you can't do anything about it! This is why Ubuntu is not free software -- from the bottom up, it does not respect your four freedoms. This is why you should not use Ubuntu -- it does not respect you, nor your computer. It does not give you the opportunity to share your works with your neighbors, and it | 03:45 |
| john--- | does not give you the opportunity to modify your software. | 03:45 |

| oeuvre | o_o 1,674 people | 03:53 |
| Macer | i think the issue is that grub doesn't understand gpt ? :/ | 03:53 |
| Macer | no idea what is going on here but it's driving me a bit batty now | 03:53 |
| Macer | i made an efi boot partition is that where i'm supposed to install grub when the installer makes a gpt table? | 03:54 |
| daftykins | Macer: only EFI can boot GPT afaiui | 03:54 |
| daftykins | is it the only OS on the disk? | 03:54 |
| Macer | daftykins: yes | 03:54 |
| Macer | it boots | 03:54 |
| Macer | but i need to change a setting and install grub onto it | 03:54 |
| Ranieri_ | Hey Ubuntu 14.04 | 03:54 |
| Macer | i need to add nomodeset to the default | 03:54 |
| daftykins | Macer: i don't follow | 03:54 |
| daftykins | if it boots already why are you installing GRUB? | 03:55 |
| Macer | daftykins: the system boots. i have to constantly press e because of video mode issues | 03:55 |
| Macer | daftykins: do i not have to do it again? | 03:55 |
| e^ | Macer: no you dont | 03:55 |
| Macer | i just edit /etc/default/grub and it reads it? | 03:55 |
| Macer | oh :/ | 03:55 |
| daftykins | i am familiar with nomodeset, don't you have a proprietary driver you can install to solve it? | 03:55 |
| Macer | daftykins: probably not.. it boots and hits a certain point where it tries to change the video mode then the entire system blanks out | 03:55 |
| Macer | nomodeset fixes the issue | 03:55 |
| daftykins | what graphics hardware? | 03:55 |
| Macer | e^: so i can just change it in /etc/default/grub ? | 03:55 |
| Macer | and reboot will pick up the default boot cmdline? | 03:56 |
| Macer | i always thought such changes required a re-install of grub | 03:56 |
| daftykins | yeah read up on editing the boot line permanently | 03:56 |
| daftykins | nooo no no :) | 03:56 |
| daftykins | quick edit, a sudo update-grub and job done. | 03:56 |
| Macer | daftykins: it's an AMD A10 | 03:56 |
| Macer | ohhhhhhh | 03:56 |
| hiro__ | so, uh, no one else has issues/ideas about the netflix thing? | 03:56 |
| daftykins | er, or is that grub-update :) | 03:56 |
| hiro__ | thank you wilee-nilee | 03:57 |
| daftykins | hiro__: i'd bet your browser isn't seeing the plugin. | 03:57 |
| Macer | ok! didn't know that lol | 03:57 |
| Macer | alrighty let me test it out :) thanks.. brb | 03:57 |
| Macer | (hopefully) | 03:57 |
| wilee-nilee | hiro__, No problem, hope you get it working. ;) | 03:57 |
| hiro__ | daftykins, I used netflix-desktop as well, which is supposed to be a preconfigured wine firefox | 03:57 |
| e^ | Macer: sometimes if you want to add an os in etc/grub.d/custom files you have to run grub-mkconfig | 03:57 |
| daftykins | hiro__: i see | 03:58 |
| e^ | dunno if you just have to update-grub here | 03:58 |
| hiro__ | so, no one else is having similar issues? Any other users? | 03:58 |
| Macer | ok that didn't work lol | 03:59 |
| Macer | i must have put it in the wrong place :) | 03:59 |
| e^ | i just saw the /etc/default/grub | 03:59 |
| * Macer checks | 03:59 | |
| sisterFister | hey does lubuntu current release use the same kernel as ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| hiro__ | I guess I'll just try purging wine, netflix-desktop, and pipelight and try again... | 03:59 |
| ianorlin | yes | 03:59 |
| Macer | oh. i think i sure did. blah. let me reboot. | 03:59 |
| ianorlin | sisterFIster yes | 03:59 |

| daftykins | *Linux | 04:01 |
| Macer | daftykins: heh | 04:01 |
| daftykins | Macer: what you're trying to do isn't a solution, it's a workaround - surely installing a graphics driver is the correct way to go about it | 04:02 |
| Macer | acpi doesn't seem to work either | 04:02 |
| daftykins | buuut i'm going to sleep now so can't help, good luck | 04:02 |
| Macer | daftykins: but i don't think the modechange is really a part of the xorg/gui stuff | 04:02 |
| Macer | it's a problem on the kernel side | 04:02 |
| Macer | like the mouse not working :P | 04:02 |
| bubble_beam | hello | 04:02 |
| Macer | probably some jacked up devfs stuff | 04:02 |
| Macer | heh | 04:02 |
| e^ | Macer: you have to run grub-mkconfig | 04:02 |
| e^ | then update-grub | 04:03 |

| sisterFister | hey everyone. I'm currently installing lubuntu and got the error: ubi-partman failed with exit code 141. What should I do? I have a terminal opened | 04:41 |
| Radon_3 | UbuntuQ: cd .. , cd , dir , and so on ... open a terminal, then put two 'cd ..' s in it, you will get to the root directory, then put 'cd /etc/openvpn' in it, hit enter, and you will be in the directory I guess, then put a 'dir' command in, and you will get a list of all the files in the directory. | 04:41 |
| e^ | UbuntuQ: try to cd /etc/openvpn and type gksu nautilus . | 04:41 |
| e^ | (with the ".") | 04:41 |
| UbuntuQ | Radon_3: One minute. | 04:41 |
| UbuntuQ | e^: Let me try that. | 04:41 |

| UbuntuQ | Radon_3: But how do I copy files to a folder doing that? | 04:42 |
| Radon_3 | UbuntuQ: there are mv, and cp commands for that man, these are the basics | 04:44 |
| UbuntuQ | Radon_3: You need to guide me through it. | 04:44 |
| Radon_3 | 'mv' will move the files ,and 'cp' copies files, put these in your terminal to read more about them : "man cp" and "man mv" | 04:45 |
| e^ | UbuntuQ: listen, type sudo nautilus, when it loads up quit it dont use it. | 04:45 |
| Radon_3 | also "rm" removes files and folders for you | 04:45 |
| e^ | then type gksu nautilus it should work | 04:45 |

| AllenRM | hey guys, any idea how to fix cursors not applying correctly, seems to be lots of cases in the forums, but no solutions that seem to work. | 04:47 |
| Radon_3 | God I love penguins, specially rockhopper penguins, they are sooooo cute I want to hug them real tight. see you guys in a bit | 04:49 |
| UbuntuQ | e^: I never tried sudo nautilus because of all the bad stuff I read about it, but... Guess what solved it in the end. :P | 04:53 |

| Radon_3 | So based on what I have read, I guess it is the best strategy to grab an iso image of ubuntu from the servers, and format my whole drive and install it anew, right?and then install all my other applications, even if the 14.0.4.1 point release was out today? | 05:06 |
| Radon_3 | I mean instead of going force upgrading from 12.04 | 05:07 |

| wilee-nilee | therealklanni, I have seen server users do voodoo not needed and end up painted into a corner, could this be the case, like forced installs ppa's a partial upgrade....etc? | 06:12 |
| therealklanni | no, it's really vanilla install of ubuntu. I haven't really changed anything on it in a year, other than `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` and npm installs | 06:13 |
| therealklanni | No custom ppa's or anything | 06:13 |

| lotuspsychje | jimmybenson: as wols said, chrome should have flash builtin | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | jimmybenson: so we know firefox uses flash correclty now, without graphics corruption? | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Jordan_U: he likes to have more ubuntu space | 07:17 |
| Trudko | lotuspsychje: the unallocated space is from resizing Windows partition. Not sure what to do to add unalloacated space to ubuntu parition. When I click on ubuntu parition there isnt extra space after that I guess I need to switch order of unalloacted and ubuntu partition | 07:17 |
| Trudko | Jordan_U ^^ | 07:18 |
| Trudko | btw I dont need such a large swap place do I | 07:18 |
| InFierno | lotuspsychje, Chrome does, chromium doesnt have flash | 07:18 |

| lotuspsychje | !info gazelle | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Package gazelle does not exist in trusty | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: what does it do? | 07:20 |
| InFierno | It has to be compiled - its a torrent tracker | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: you have issues with it? | 07:21 |
| InFierno | Wondered if anyone knew if it can be modified to allow freeleech but require registration to upload or something similar | 07:21 |
| InFierno | I started porting it to centOS but gave up - way to many compile errors | 07:21 |
| InFierno | when you fix 400 "errors" or so then get to the next part (Ocelot - the actual tracker) and it throws up another 1k errors - its like why am i bothering | 07:22 |
| Trudko | wols: I dont | 07:22 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: on wich ubuntu version are you trying>? | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | Trudko: You could easily replace the swap partition with a new partition made from the free space, to gain some disk space. Resizing "to the left" is unfirtunately a very intensive operation. | 07:23 |
| InFierno | I wasnt :P I was porting it to centOS (the errors are caused by CentOS' gcc having only incomplete/experimental C++ compiler support vs full support on ubuntu/gentoo | 07:23 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: well we cant discuss centos errors here :p | 07:24 |
| InFierno | I know - i will actually try and built it today on ubuntu | 07:24 |
| InFierno | But i dont really wanna build it and then find out it doesnt easily support what i want it to do | 07:25 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: that github page shows some info: https://github.com/WhatCD/Gazelle/wiki/Gazelle-installation-on-Ubuntu-12.04 | 07:25 |
| InFierno | Yea im aware | 07:25 |
| InFierno | Hence i now have a server running ubuntu12 | 07:26 |
| lotuspsychje | InFierno: what does gazelle do exactly? | 07:26 |
| === myth is now known as Guest74271 | ||
| InFierno | lotuspsychje, provides a frontend to Ocelot (a really really really optimised torrent tracker), and gives you a lot of the usermanagement and such built in | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | Trudko: To reclaim spce "before" / "to the left" of a partition GParted first needs to move the entire partition's worth of data to the left, then resize the moved partition/filesystem to the right as normal (an operation which requires almost no IO). | 07:28 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| InFierno | openTracker is awesome - but manually white-listing hashed and setting up MRTG on a per torrent basis == far too much like hard work | 07:29 |

| aeon-ltd | ar: testing and documentation + (time/labor?), ubuntu is not designed to be bleeding edge. You can use ppas or compile if you really want it though | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste couldn't find source. see http://www.povray.org/download/ but note the equivalent functionality is in blender. see the #ubuntustudio channel for minds greater than mine | 08:04 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste or #blender | 08:04 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, ok thanks.. that page http://www.povray.org/download/ doesn't actually seem to link to the 3.7 source code does it? | 08:04 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste there is a github link for source | 08:05 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, right but where is the actual download link? | 08:05 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tree/3.7-stable | 08:05 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, how do you get the source from there? | 08:05 |
| lesshaste | oh.. there is "download zip" | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | !github|lesshaste | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste I've not used github, but - again - better minds than mine would know. | 08:06 |
| airtonix | using git | 08:07 |
| airtonix | git clone https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git | 08:08 |
| airtonix | url is right above the download link | 08:08 |
| lesshaste | airtonix, ok thanks | 08:08 |
| lesshaste | airtonix, it's very odd.. there is no configure script | 08:08 |
| airtonix | oh ok | 08:09 |
| lesshaste | I mean the docs claim there is :) | 08:09 |
| lesshaste | well.. I am cloning now | 08:09 |
| lesshaste | (using the zip before) | 08:09 |
| airtonix | try actually reading the page | 08:09 |
| airtonix | https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tree/master/unix | 08:10 |
| lesshaste | airtonix, can I correct that to "try actually finding the correct installation instructions" | 08:11 |
| airtonix | no? | 08:11 |
| lesshaste | airtonix, I mean your suggestion worked. But if you read install.txt you get the wrong instructions | 08:11 |
| lesshaste | airtonix, thank you | 08:12 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste seeing that the last update was - what? October 2013? entirely possible that the package maintainers are behind the times. | 08:12 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, right.. it's all slightly mysterious to me | 08:12 |
| lesshaste | I mean surely everyone still loves ray tracing | 08:12 |
| lesshaste | it hasn't gone out of fashion has it? | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste thus my original suggest to see blender | 08:13 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, I a pov description file. Does blender support those? | 08:13 |
| lesshaste | I have a | 08:13 |
| lesshaste | ... | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste I believe such support is integrated into blender | 08:14 |
| lesshaste | cfhowlett, oh cool | 08:14 |
| lesshaste | thanks | 08:14 |
| cfhowlett | lesshaste seems the official package in blender is called "cycles" ray-tracing render engine | 08:15 |
| lesshaste | I'll look that up thanks | 08:16 |
| lesshaste | "It is still in development, and more production features are planned to be added, this can be considered as a first preview release. "£ | 08:16 |
| lesshaste | so povray is too old and cycles is too young :) | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | LOL. cycles has been out for a couple of years now. | 08:17 |
| cfhowlett | EVERYTHING is "beta" in opensource :) | 08:17 |
| airtonix | no. | 08:26 |
| airtonix | all software is beta | 08:26 |
| airtonix | to think otherwise is presumptious and tantamount to god worship | 08:26 |
| airtonix | nothing is perfect | 08:27 |

| cYmen | I don't expect anything to happen automatically. I just want to know how to mount the damn thing. | 09:45 |
| cYmen | Since gnome can mount it I assume the necessary tools are installed somewhere. | 09:45 |

| zombu2 | it was funny though | 10:04 |
| gry | on that note, I might realize now that debian is one of the few 'upstream' things that isn't a company; for a few other distros, the 'upstream' is novell, rhel, or some other exciting company | 10:04 |

| Ben64 | gut: PPAs aren't supported here, you'd have to contact the maintainers for support if they provide it | 10:52 |
| gry | welcome to ppas; if you'd like to have them supported, you need to poke their maintainers to package them with the distro | 10:53 |
| gry | there is absolutely nothing in the PPAs system itself that encourages them to do so | 10:53 |
| gry | so make it happen by asking | 10:53 |

| gut | both oibaf PPA and Xorg Edgers work properly on same machine with Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, but in Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity, Unity fails to start... problem is with mesa git propably and I was just wondering if anyone experience same thing, I'm not asking for professional support | 10:54 |

| ubottu | luca: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 11:11 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog if your computer isn't set to boot from the CD, it's still booting from your non-functioning HDD | 11:11 |
| luca | ciao | 11:11 |
| hounddog | cfhowlett: even if i tell it explicilty to boot from usb? Why is there a boot option then and why does it show me all the boot options from the usb stick? | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog if your computer boots from the HDD, you get one menu. if you boot from the live CD you get a different menu ... be explicit. | 11:14 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog assuming your live CD didn't work previously, verify the ISO and then verify the CD/USB | 11:14 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | 11:14 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 11:14 |
| Fritzendugan | hounddog: both your hard-drive and the usb drive probably are using grub as a boot loader and have their own boot menus. If you're trying to install linux onto your hard-drive, I'd recommend booting directly from the USB and installing a new bootloader onto the hard-drive, although you can technically use the existing one. I don't know what your system set-up is like i.e. if you're trying to dual-boot or anything like that | 11:16 |
| hounddog | Ok. Explicitly i press the power switch, after the splash screen comes i press f12 to select from which device to boot. I then go ahead and select USB. I contnie then to get a screen whcih shows me options Default, help, try ubuntu without installing, indtyall ubuntu, check disc for defects, test memory, Boot from first hard disk. I select Try ubuntu without installing. | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog that's the ticket! | 11:17 |
| Fritzendugan | hounddog: ok then yeah, I recommend verifying the iso file isn't corrup like cfhowlett recommended | 11:18 |
| Fritzendugan | hounddog: and possibly recreating the live usb | 11:18 |
| bigo72 | hello everybody, I've this problem with gnome shell, what's wrong? https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8p85i8imh1o1xd/Screenshot%202014-05-31%2023.10.34.png | 11:18 |
| hounddog | Then it starts loading the ubuntu splash screen and after a few seconds it falls back to the console giving me the error. (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system. | 11:19 |
| hounddog | well il start in verifying | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | bigo72 ouch! don't know what that is but --- ouch! | 11:19 |
| Fritzendugan | bigo72: restarting your DE and/or rebooting your PC doesn't fix it? | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog either your usb is a bad burn or your source ISO is bad. verify the ISO then verify the bootable media | 11:19 |
| bigo72 | Fritzendugan, unfortunately not | 11:20 |
| hounddog | cfhowlett: its the exact same burn i installed it from earlier | 11:20 |
| hounddog | earlier = a few months ago | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | hounddog and it takes about 90 seconds to verify ... | 11:20 |
| hounddog | am not on windows btw | 11:20 |

| hounddog | Fritzendugan: i am trying to install a new bootloader, thats my issue currently | 11:22 |
| bigo72 | Fritzendugan, yes, no problems with unity for me, gnome shell is the only DE that does like that | 11:22 |
| djural | ls | 11:23 |
| Fritzendugan | hounddog: Ok, I see. So you're trying to boot into a live distro so you can repair the boot-loader, but the live distro won't boot. I would verify the iso and then verify the usb media itself like cfhowlett said and let us know how that went | 11:23 |
| Fritzendugan | hounddog: and if that all fails, possibly try using a different live distro to repair the bootloader | 11:23 |
| hounddog | oh well, cannot verify it as i do not have the iso anymore... guess i need to redownload | 11:23 |

| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: you'll need to reinstate Grub to the MBR. OmgUbuntu has a guide called "sticking it to Grub" which will show you how to chroot from live CD and resolve the issue | 12:34 |
| subz3r0 | also its not a good idea to install ubuntu first. as descibed in like 1000000 tutorials :) | 12:34 |
| subz3r0 | and windows 8 is a special case, too | 12:35 |
| oaulakh | i dont have live cd now | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: you cant repair grub from Windows. Its not got the capabilities | 12:35 |
| oaulakh | that ubuntu was installed a year ago | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: make a new one then.....too obvious? | 12:35 |
| oaulakh | and was working fine | 12:35 |
| oaulakh | but due to sime problem in windows i reinstalled windows 8 | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | oaulakh and you'll need to reconfigure your ubuntu. which is why dual booters are advised to always install windows first. | 12:36 |
| oaulakh | but i have so much work and programs in that ubuntu edition | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | oaulakh it's still there. you just need to fix the boot | 12:36 |
| oaulakh | but now what should i do | 12:36 |
| IdleOne | !fixgrub | 12:36 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: again, make a new Ubuntu CD, use the guide, reinstate Grub | 12:36 |
| IdleOne | oaulakh: if you follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 you will not lose any of your data. | 12:37 |
| oaulakh | okkk | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: i already told you but put it all on one line incase you missed it and cant scroll your IRC client text up. | 12:37 |
| oaulakh | okkk | 12:37 |
| oaulakh | but i have irc also in my iphone | 12:37 |
| oaulakh | i will ask you question if i stuck somewhere | 12:38 |
| IdleOne | ok | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: the guide is pretty sweet. Even has a video. | 12:38 |
| oaulakh | i think i did that before | 12:38 |
| oaulakh | but the problem is now | 12:38 |
| oaulakh | that i dont have have live cd or even a usb | 12:39 |
| oaulakh | i have to find it first | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | oaulakh come back when you have it. | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: the Ubuntu iSOs are still available and are still 100% free. Why not download a new one.. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: much easier and quicker, right? | 12:40 |
| oaulakh | i have to find a usb first | 12:41 |
| oaulakh | yeah i know | 12:41 |
| IdleOne | ok go do that | 12:41 |
| oaulakh | all i need a usb | 12:41 |
| oaulakh | i have this iso | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: or a CD? | 12:42 |
| oaulakh | from which i installed ubuntu a year ago | 12:42 |
| oaulakh | no i haven't cd | 12:42 |
| oaulakh | i never install anything from cd | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: as long as you can chroot from it, its fine. It needs to be the same arch as the Ubuntu you have installed (32bit or 64bit) | 12:43 |
| oaulakh | iso is always perfect one | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: what do you mean "perfect one"? | 12:43 |
| oaulakh | means usb is always a perfect choise | 12:44 |
| oaulakh | faster and coustmizable | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: you can customize the iso then burn to CD... | 12:45 |
| IdleOne | awesome, if you feel like chatting about it you are welcome to join us in #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:45 |
| oaulakh | hahahahha sory man | 12:45 |
| oaulakh | i was just thinking where i can get a usb | 12:46 |
| oaulakh | calling my friend | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: amazon? Ebay? Local PC store? | 12:46 |
| oaulakh | then when friends will help haaa? ;) | 12:49 |

| fernandosucre | hello? | 13:23 |
| bah_ | are there any alternatives to AbiWord, such crap software | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | bah_ libreoffice writer - | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | fernandosucre ask your questions | 13:24 |
| abhra | bah_, why do you think abiword is "crap"? | 13:25 |
| bah_ | abhra, they implemented some automatic language detection without documenting it, http://nerdanswer.com/answer.php?q=354601 | 13:27 |
| trijntje | bah_: thats hardly evidence they do un-documented language detection | 13:30 |
| trijntje | but you can always use alternatives like libreoffice if you dont like abiword | 13:31 |
| abhra | bah_, that seems a bug; but is that an evidence of undocumented language detection? anyway, you may like to give libreoffice/openoffice a try | 13:32 |
| whitehat | hi group. is there a way to save state in unity upon logout without writing one's own scripts? thank you. | 13:32 |
| bah_ | abhra, yes maybe I was wrong about that, anyway i now downloaded libreoffice and it works fine, thanks | 13:33 |
| abhra | bah_, one more thing you could do. install google doc app in chromium; enable offline use. and use it for small, simple usage. | 13:33 |
| abhra | bah_, good to know. :) | 13:33 |
| bah_ | abhra, yes I thought about that but I don't want NSA to be able to read everything I write | 13:34 |
| abhra | yeshuah, that's a problem | 13:35 |
| abhra | sorry, last one was meant for bah_ | 13:36 |
| trijntje | whitehat: define 'save state' | 13:36 |
| whitehat | trinode: hi. thank you. ?? define 'save state' where? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | as in open windows ? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | he means what do you mean by save state | 13:38 |
| whitehat | ikonia: :-) sorry. need more coffee on this end. I have 6 viewports in compiz. I want to (save|restore) window positions, number of windows and placement of windows within the viewports upon both logout/shutdown and reboot/login | 13:40 |
| lotuspsychje | are there alternatives for mono on ubuntu to play silverlight content? | 13:40 |
| whitehat | as you know "define save state" could refer to something else in the linux/unix world. | 13:40 |
| OerHeks | lotuspsychje, as of silverlight 5.1 there is no solution AFAIK | 13:41 |
| OerHeks | (yet) | 13:41 |

| avavav | I have problem dual booting windows with ubuntu, if I install ubuntu in legacy mode and windows in UEFI boot mode, only ubuntu stays , windows doesnt , could anybody help here? Or should I expect answers from other channel | 13:54 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: did you disable secureboot in bios? | 13:54 |
| lotuspsychje | !uefi | avavav | 13:55 |
| ubottu | avavav: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:55 |
| avavav | Lotus, No i didnt , please explain | 13:55 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: you can also try sudo update-grub from your ubuntu | 13:56 |
| avavav | Lotus, I ve tried that, to no avail | 13:56 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: the easiest way is to single boot ubuntu and loose windows once and for good :p | 13:57 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: we already have lots of alternatives for windows applications | 13:57 |
| avavav | Lotus, yes I m an ubuntu user since 1 year now, but there is simply no match for adobe photoshop, Cinema4D, and many other Adobe products which i desperately need | 13:58 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: some adobe products you can find on playonlinux aswell | 13:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !info playonlinux | avavav | 13:58 |
| ubottu | avavav: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.2.2-1 (trusty), package size 1107 kB, installed size 4208 kB | 13:58 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: gimp is also good alternative for photoshop | 13:59 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: would make your life easy single install ubuntu on laptop | 13:59 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: and there is virtualbox to install your windows from inside ubuntu | 14:00 |
| avavav | Lotus, it has on programming skills perspective | 14:00 |
| avavav | Lotus, But i want to learn more, playlinux, wine are still buggy | 14:00 |
| avavav | Lotus, I had Graphic card issues on Vmware and virtualbox | 14:01 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: alot of professional packages in software centre mate | 14:01 |
| nevyn | meh gimp is no photoshop | 14:02 |
| nevyn | avavav: why didn't you install ubuntu in uefi mode? | 14:02 |
| lotuspsychje | nevyn: photoshop is on playonlinux aswell | 14:02 |
| nevyn | right because one of the big studios wanted it (Dreamworks I think) | 14:03 |
| avavav | Nevyn, it didnt , when I tried, there was nothing on screen coming on rebooting | 14:03 |
| nevyn | avavav: are you using a 64bit version? | 14:03 |
| avavav | Lotus, Cinema4D, After effects, premier pro are much user friendly than blender | 14:04 |
| avavav | Nevyn, yes 64 bit | 14:04 |
| nevyn | which release? | 14:04 |
| nevyn | this improved a bunch in 14.04 | 14:04 |
| nevyn | you do need to turn off secureboot. | 14:04 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: i recently installed blender for someone who uses 3d printing | 14:05 |
| avavav | Nevyn, how do I do that? | 14:05 |
| * lotuspsychje doesnt like those dualboot nightmares | 14:05 | |
| avavav | Lotus, but the tutorial base for adobe suits is huge, blender has less free tuts if i m not wrong, or am i? | 14:05 |
| OerHeks | Fastboot can give troubles too. | 14:06 |
| lotuspsychje | OerHeks: true, depends on the machine you install on | 14:06 |
| e^ | is there a way to use applications in a livecd that are installed on the OS on the computer? | 14:07 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: http://www.blender.org/support/tutorials/ | 14:07 |
| e^ | something like mount --bind or something to use the files from the OS and install them in the live session? | 14:07 |
| Fritzendugan | e^, if the drive is mounted, you can navigate to where the binary is and run it like any program | 14:08 |
| avavav | Lotus, are they enough to kickstart a layman? | 14:08 |
| avavav | Lotus, does blender outputs in popukar video formats? | 14:08 |
| Fritzendugan | e^, of course, which configuration files it uses can get confusing, so I can't say I'd recommend it | 14:08 |
| lotuspsychje | avavav: well im no real blender expert, not sure | 14:08 |
| awestroke | the "beep" command from the identically named package makes no sound, how do I debug? | 14:08 |

| holstein | jvarcaba: you can try starting it from the command line and see if you have any helpful error messages.. try and not assume anything.. its not constructive when troubleshooting | 14:49 |
| jvarcaba | ikonia, :D Bet everyhing else runs smooth except caffeine. | 14:49 |
| Stinky-Feet | awestroke: Check the man page on beep (the IOCTL WACKINESS section), and then also look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Basically, to make it work: sudo modprobe snd_pcsp, then: beep --debug -l 1000 -r 5 But it is not a good way to go. Try installing sox instead and use the play command. | 14:49 |

| guesting | My packages are borked. Is it possible to upgrade 12.04 to 14.04 by replacing the OS but keeping users and their home folders (the home folder is on a separate drive)? | 14:54 |
| holstein | guesting: yes | 14:54 |
| holstein | guesting: just do exactly what you said | 14:55 |
| guesting | holstein: I'm assuming dist-upgrade -d won't work as the package management is dead | 14:55 |
| holstein | guesting: however, the issues can be with the user's config files | 14:55 |

| guesting | holstein: I'm assuming it's because of that package, not because of a config | 14:58 |

| dhanush | Hi. Why isnt the broadcom wireless card still not supported by default in the new lts release? I was hoping it would be added. | 15:07 |
| Nope_avi | dhanush it isn't supported by default because there is a package that must be installed that the installer does not have the URL for last I checked. | 15:08 |
| ldiamond | Alright... I'm trying to migrate a non-encrypted home to encrypted using ecryptfs-migrate-home. It tells me "not enough free space". Though I only use 35% of /home. Anyone know more about the free space requirements? | 15:09 |
| gassho | i want to set up a firewall; any further precautions for ubuntu security? (i dont know how to set up a firewall) | 15:11 |
| Nope_avi | ldiamond I would not recommend using an encrypted home directory. If your system ever crashes, you can't access it without the generated recovery key. Try using man ecryptfs-migrate-home to find space requirements, and if that fails, look it up on the wiki. | 15:11 |
| === Mike__________ is now known as Mike__ | ||
| Nope_avi | gassho I'd recommend using a Tor SOCKS proxy. | 15:12 |
| ldiamond | Nope_avi, I looked at the man, no info. I assume it needs at least the same amount as the data in free space. The problem is I don't know where it does the backup. | 15:12 |
| ldiamond | Nope_avi, if it uses /tmp then I'm screwed. | 15:12 |
| ldiamond | Nope_avi, well, the point of encrypting is making it secure. If I could access it without the recovery key then, well, it wouldn't be worth it :p | 15:13 |
| c0mrad3 | can any one suggest me what is the exact way to install ubuntu with windows | 15:13 |

| c0mrad3 | ya | 15:14 |
| Nope_avi | c0mrad3 You want to install Windows first, then install Ubuntu. Windows' bootloader doesn't support other operating systems very well. It will ask you if you want to install grub to the MBR, say yes as long as it also says it found another operating system. When you install Windows though, make sure you leave enough room for Ubuntu. | 15:15 |

| Guest73599 | hello, i installed 12.04.1 specifically because it works with my graphics card. Ubuntu has updated me to 14.04.4 and it broke my driver. How do I reverse? | 16:05 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: You might be able to repoint to the old repositories and go back, but there's no guarantee that will work in-place | 16:07 |
| deans | Probably off topic but how do I suppress join/quote notices on http://webchat.freenode.net/ ? | 16:07 |
| Guest73599 | I guess I will have to reinstall my entire ubuntu | 16:07 |
| Guest73599 | what do i look out for to prevent ubuntu frmo updating to 12.04.4? | 16:08 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: You went to 12.04.4? not 14.04.4? | 16:08 |
| Guest73599 | jcgs, that's correct | 16:08 |
| gueriLLaPunK | whats the cmd i use to download files from a github? i tried wget, but it didnt really grab anything | 16:09 |
| Guest73599 | my ISO was 12.04.1, everything worked fine. then after update. I can't even go into amdccc | 16:09 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: Amd's own drivers aren't very good | 16:10 |
| Overand | I was helping a friend with a remote "do-release-upgrade" - and he rebooted the system when it was on the "234 packages need to be rmoevd blah blah Continue [yN] Details [d]" | 16:10 |
| Overand | What should I do to 'finish' that stage? | 16:10 |
| Guest73599 | jcgs the open source drivers don't work for me otherwise i would use 14.04 | 16:10 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: I would have thought updating to a later version than 12.04 might be adviasable | 16:10 |
| Guest73599 | no i have been at 14.04 and dealt with the issues there the only way for me to use ubuntu would be 12.04 | 16:11 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: In 14.04 the binary drivers have got somewhat better | 16:11 |
| Guest73599 | yes | 16:11 |
| Guest73599 | but no one wanted to help me with the open source drivers, i couldnt use two monitors | 16:11 |
| jcgs | Guest73599: you can also download drivers direct from amd as well | 16:11 |

| jcgs | Overand: Probably try doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:17 |
| jcgs | and see what happens | 16:17 |
| jcgs | although you might be able to re-run the entire thing because I don't think you got that far into it | 16:17 |
| jcgs | also, you could try opening aptitude (if it's installed) and doing things manually | 16:18 |
| Overand | jcgs: it's basically prompting me to auto-remove, which seems to be working fine | 16:20 |
| Overand | I'm pretty annoyed that he rebooted the system while i was 'mid-upgrade' but c'est la vie | 16:20 |
| jcgs | meh, this stuff happens | 16:21 |
| jcgs | Overand: he didn't pick such a bad time though , I've managed to really stuff the package resolver before | 16:22 |
| Overand | jcgs: yeah, it could have been a lot worse | 16:22 |
| Overand | he was having all sorts of weird issues beforehand, too - like network manager dying due to SIGABRT and stuff | 16:23 |

| skinux | It said 'recovering journal', but otherwise it didn't report anything wrong. | 16:27 |
| Overand | skinux: yes, but was it a 'forced' fsck or did it just do a quick one? | 16:27 |
| Overand | you want it to do a thourough one | 16:27 |
| Overand | DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT CHECKING THE MANUAL: it may be "fsck -f /device" to do that | 16:27 |

| Overand | ianorlin: that'll only exacerbate the problem, you may get it anyway. is this kind of an older system? and how 'long' is 'long' | 16:30 |
| Overand | skinux: no, it's to check to see if there are filesystem errors | 16:30 |
| Overand | not physical errors | 16:30 |
| Stinky-Feet | skinux: Try df from a terminal first | 16:31 |
| jcgs | Alex_______: try apt-get -sy install linux-headers-generic | 16:31 |
| ianorlin | like 10 minutes but is more noticeable in virtual machines | 16:31 |
| Alex_______ | and aptitude stop install? or remove? | 16:31 |
| jcgs | Alex_______: don't worry about aptitude, you don't need it | 16:31 |
| Overand | ianorlin: if the virtual machines are running with constrained memory and there's swapping/paging on the host OR the VM itself, that'll exacerbate the problem | 16:31 |
| Alex_______ | i started install | 16:31 |
| Overand | ianorlin: but 10 minutes is a lot. is your disk thrashing a lot? | 16:31 |

| aaron1 | Hey guys, just installed Ubuntu and Nvidia is giving me trouble. Installed the latest drivers. Used nvidia-settings to get a good xorg.conf, but now in the log it's giving all kinds of errors. Timed out detecting displays, EDID setting problems, failed to validate the modes it's trying to set. | 17:12 |
| aaron1 | If I had anything but a terminal I'd do a pastebin or something :| | 17:12 |
| ianorlin | !paste |aaron1 | 17:13 |
| ubottu | aaron1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 17:13 |
| ianorlin | !pastebinit|aaron1 | 17:13 |
| ubottu | aaron1: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:13 |

| orbisvicis | JoshDreamland: so do you, via xrandr | 17:44 |
| JoshDreamland | so my resolution *was* 640×480, briefly. Now, it's 1920×1080, but it's in some strange 4:3 window. | 17:45 |
| Zenyhooubbit | hello all :-) | 17:45 |
| orbisvicis | Dawid12373: well you can hold back the official package, or pin the local package, and I believe there is a package settings (like epoch) that allows lower versioned packages high priority | 17:46 |

| orbisvicis | Dawid12373: use the official ubuntu back as baseline | 17:48 |

| xiphias | is there any way to fix this? | 17:48 |
| xiphias | i tried that fixparts command | 17:48 |

| hunt | orbisvicis: /bin/bash | 18:08 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: i tried using zsh as well, no difference | 18:08 |
| wilee-nilee | xiphias, sdb is a msdos partition table, probably should be gpt. In installs if you read the UEFI wiki windows is often not seen if filling a whole HD. So if your target was sda, you woud have an unallocated space for ubuntu, it would see that. | 18:09 |

| keevitaja | xangua: i have appmenu-qt and appmenu-qt5 installed | 18:33 |
| orbisvicis | hunt: run it with sh? don't follow. $SHELL was bash | 18:33 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: yea sorry, those aerrors that i pasted earlier come from me trying to do sh $colorscheme.sh, when i start the terminal there is no output regarding errors, although the colors appear unchanged | 18:34 |
| keevitaja | xangua: i have no clue, which packages i should install back. i installed unity back with installing the ubuntu-desktop | 18:34 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: or sorry, tyhe bg color is unchanged, the rest of the colors are alright | 18:34 |
| phendryx_ | anyone ever have 'screen' just dump out and say "screen is terminating"? I've removed my .screenrc and I see no reason why it should be doing this. | 18:34 |
| pickledherring | if i'm dd'ing with noerror a drive with several errors, will the sectors that are bad be written as null and can i just re-image my new drive with that? or do i have to do some sort of seeking past the NUL/bad blocks? | 18:35 |
| xangua | !info indicator-appmenu | keevitaja | 18:35 |
| ubottu | keevitaja: indicator-appmenu (source: indicator-appmenu): Indicator for application menus.. In component main, is optional. Version 13.01.0+14.04.20140404-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 23 kB, installed size 138 kB | 18:35 |
| keevitaja | indicator-appmenu is already the newest version. | 18:36 |
| orbisvicis | hunt: ok let me get this straight. you are in bash/gnome-terminal. you run the gnome-terminal version of base16-solarized.dark.sh like so: "./base16-solarized.dark.sh" No errors | 18:36 |
| pickledherring | i just had a tuna-fish sandwich =) | 18:36 |
| orbisvicis | right? then when you restart gnome-terminal.... everything changed colour except the background ? | 18:36 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: when i run it from my bashrc, yes (As pasted) | 18:37 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: i dont think i can execute it otherwise though | 18:38 |
| _ynk | hello, looking for the source of http://paste.ubuntu.com/. Is it even open source at all? :-/ | 18:38 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7567575/ | 18:38 |
| orbisvicis | hunt: first things first you are modifying gnome-terminal settings. no need for touching .bashrc | 18:38 |
| orbisvicis | hunt: you can go to gnome-terminal's edit menu -> profiles | 18:39 |
| orbisvicis | you should see "base-16-solarized-dark" permanently | 18:39 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: AHHH! yea | 18:40 |
| orbisvicis | then you can fix the background color yourself | 18:40 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: omg thanks man that was really dumb of me | 18:40 |
| hunt | orbisvicis: it sets the bg color | 18:40 |

I have the file downloaded and all, but whenever I try to run the installer, it doesn't do anything. I'm really not sure what's causing the problem and wouldn't know how to find out. I've checked in the files properties and the file is executable. I'm just not sure atm. I'm quite new to Linux so does anyone know anything about this so | 18:58 |
| Caps | rt of thing, if it's not a problem to ask? | 18:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Xrandr: the packages will still update | 19:11 |
| sudormrf | minttu, depends on the game. some games will work fine, others won't | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | minttu: games are being ported to Steam for Linux all the time. Steam has a native client so doesnt need wine | 19:11 |
| xrandr | ActionParsnip: it says it won't... I get unresolvable errors when i try to use the do-release-upgrade | 19:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Xrandr: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 19:12 |
| SchrodingersScat | minttu: should check you game list and see which ones have linux support, I've seen good results, Natural Selection 2 still has a bug that makes it unplayable for me though..so far everything else has been great. | 19:12 |

| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, Look in the software center-edit-preferences look at the repos ticked, make sure all are, run a update and skype should show in the center. | 20:01 |
| elid | ActionParsnip: Works | 20:01 |
| elid | ActionParnsip. Thanks | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Elid: magic stuff | 20:01 |
| wilee-nilee | henning3, No problem. ;) | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Elid: worked it out as thatbfolder holds the selectable sessions in the DM | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Elid: the command shows the package which gives that file. Removing it removes the file | 20:02 |

| henning3 | Bottronics: Ahh. I'll look into it. Thanx - we need it in the local LUG on all our demo-mashines at an exebision i a couple of months ;-) Now I just need som video-content to show. | 20:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, Why unless you have added anything they should be. | 20:03 |
| raj | embarrassingly enough, i can't find them | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: there is no single best way | 20:03 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, looks like they are all checked already except for the (source) ones | 20:03 |
| raj | ah, found it | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: you can use rsync to copy from partition to partition. | 20:03 |

| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, actually, I don't have canonical partners enabled, I guess that's where it is | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: id do a clean install then copy over configs / restore configs from your backups | 20:04 |
| Bottronics | henning3, that will definitely do it for you, there are a lot of switching you can try with the -h as well as streaming if neccessary | 20:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, Yep that is where it's at and other cool stuff. ;) | 20:04 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, other cool stuff like amazon ads in unity search? :P | 20:05 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: can I find documentation on that the copy configs from backup and thank you | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: do you not have them backed up now? | 20:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, Not sure of those, that is easily turned of in privacy, 3rd party non free stuff in general, not sure all that is there. | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: the ads are cool, helped me a lot | 20:06 |
| jcstarken | I have done just a back up local then I upload them using wuala | 20:06 |
| Fritzendugan | ActionParsnip, I hope that's a joke :P | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: why not? | 20:06 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, yeah I turned them off already fixubuntu.com | 20:06 |
| * wilee-nilee reaches for his tinfoil fedora | 20:06 | |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: also backup the entirety of /etc | 20:07 |
| Fritzendugan | ActionParsnip, I get enough ads spammed to me when I'm browsing the web, I don't need amazon receiving even more data about me :P if I'm typing someting into the unity search, I'm usually looking for software and/or unix commands, not for stuff from amazon. If you find them useful, though, good for you. To each their own ;) | 20:07 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: i use the back up tool that is part of ubuntu. Should I be doing it differently | 20:07 |
| CREEEPEREXPLOSIV | que algien me hable en español :( :( :( :( ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: yeah tried it and saw a cool book, bought it. | 20:07 |
| Stinky-Feet | sudormrf: Tell me | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: no idea what that backs up. I just copy my data to a usb drive using cron and cp | 20:08 |
| Stinky-Feet | Was just starting to try it myself :_) | 20:08 |
| henning3 | Bottronics: The plan is that we will have a number of demo-videos mounted via LAN, and if a mashine is unused they should fire up a random of the videos as screen-saver. | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: i use LXDE so dont have any of this amazon stuff by default anyway.... | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: not even installed to then need disabling, same in Xubuntu, same in Kubuntu..... | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, If you are under the impression you can hide or have any privacy, you have to be off the web to do this, and that is only a partial protection. | 20:09 |
| henning3 | Bottronics: Another solution could be to stream a single stream to all mashones, so the same image is shown on all idle mashines, but there are pros an cons on both solutions | 20:09 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: ok where can I read on how to do that, thank you | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: its just ancopy and paste of files, you can do that right? | 20:10 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, it's not a black or white issue. Just because I sacrifice some privacy by using the internet does not mean all my privacy is forfeit. That's a fallacy and harmful thinking. | 20:10 |
| CREEEPEREXPLOSIV | venga ya¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ no puteeis ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ;( | 20:10 |
| Bottronics | henning3, you can very easy launch a crontab idle i do believe you can play the streams randomly as well if you assign more than one file argument. but don't quote me on it | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, I did not address in the form of a dichotomy, but the reality of the situation. | 20:11 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: Yes i believe so I will read about what is need as you stated in earlier chat,configs / restore configs from your backups and the etc folder | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: then why do you need to read how to do it, when you can alread do it? | 20:11 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: because I dont want to screw it up | 20:11 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, I like to think that amazon doesn't know everything I type into my console. I feel pretty confident in this belief | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jcstarken: remember to copy your hidden folders in $HOME | 20:12 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: i am new to all this | 20:12 |
| jcstarken | ActionParsnip: Thank you | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | Fritzendugan, Cool, we all like to have a belief system, carry on. ;) | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | or plural systems* | 20:13 |
| Fritzendugan | wilee-nilee, wouldn't call it a belief system so much as a deduction based on facts :P | 20:13 |
| === buyle is now known as mongolito404 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: you do realize that individual users are not identifiable at Amazon? | 20:17 |
| Fritzendugan | ActionParsnip, they could (likely do) aggregate data. There are lots of ways they could do this, for instance if you click a link from the unity lens and load their site, then you're probably already signed in on the browser and they would be able to link the two. There are plenty of other ways to link data as well. | 20:19 |
| henning3 | Bottronics: the random-thng might be something to look into. Otherwise it should be easy to shuffle the playlist on start - I suspect that I can pull the playlist from a webserver (and perhaps also the videos themself), and we already have a webserver runnning on or server, so it would be simple to script that serverside. Then we could also centrally control priority of the videos. | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: there is no proof of that, pure conjecture | 20:19 |
| CREEEPEREXPLOSIV | algien?????????????????? :( | 20:19 |
| Fritzendugan | ActionParsnip, well, I know that if I don't send them any data at all then they can't possibly identify me. Also, I find the ads annoying, anyway. | 20:20 |
| Bottronics | ,henning3, agreed but you may not need to, --no-random Play files randomly forever | 20:20 |
| Bottronics | henning3, This is it here, -Z, --random, --no-random Play files randomly forever (default disabled) | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Fritzendugan: thats fine but please try to keep to facts. The searches go to Canonical, then to Amazon. The onl thing Amazon can see is what Ubuntunusers (as a whole) search for. Users are not identifiable | 20:21 |
| Fritzendugan | ActionParsnip, your computer loads the images directly from the amazon server, therefore amazon knows that somebody at your IP address is loading those specific set of images. | 20:23 |
| pickledbeets | "authentication token manipulation error" when i do passwd, NOTE: I am logged into the live DVD trying to recover a failing HD, so the default user is "ubuntu" | 20:23 |

| wilee-nilee | sickgirl, THe chrome browser has flash built in, try using it, just install, and remember it will be gone if you reboot, if you are not using a usb with persistence. | 21:15 |
| Bashing-om | nford: : D .. hang loose, someone here has been there and can advise on best procedure to (re-)install the graphics driver for Intel. | 21:15 |
| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: so you're saying I cannot install just clicking the button the firefox suggest, right? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | x0rs: where did you get the php install packages from ? | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | sickgirl, Nope. | 21:15 |
| x0rs | ikonia, apt-get | 21:15 |
| nford | Bashing-om: Sounds great. I'll focus on getting all my data off this hard drive in case something awful happens. | 21:15 |
| ikonia | x0rs: where did the packages heom from | 21:16 |

| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: I know it will be gone, I was just confused because first I installed via firefox. But ok. My bad. | 21:16 |
| x0rs | ikonia, the default repositories? | 21:16 |
| ikonia | x0rs: it's failing to open a file | 21:16 |
| Bashing-om | nford: Good backups is always a good practice, but here is just a matter of installing the graphics module. | 21:16 |
| x0rs | ikonia, so i should uninstall and reinstall from another repo? | 21:16 |
| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: what about the live session question... what is that? | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | sickgirl, http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Flash-Player-on-Ubuntu | 21:17 |
| ikonia | x0rs: no, as long as it comes from the official ubuntu stable repos, that's great | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | sickgirl, THe live session is reading the cd/usb, you have to switch it to reading the ubuntu repos for most installs from it. | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | except the OS install | 21:18 |
| ikonia | x0rs: check the permissions on the files AND directories before the file | 21:18 |

| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: I'm using the gnome ubuntu, it's a bit different I cannot find this app place | 21:19 |
| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: about the live session I was asking because it says there are other users logged in. what does that mean? | 21:19 |
| wilee-nilee | sickgirl, software center-edit-software sources go to tab showing the repos turn off the cd, tick all make sure the rest are checked on, close that run a update and you can pull from the ubuntu repos. | 21:20 |
| sickgirl | wilee-nilee: it says when I click the turn off computer button, there are users logged in. it's that me using the computer so I have to log off before turning the computer off? | 21:20 |

| sickgirl | I'm using gnome 14.04. what is the best version? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | skinux: ubuntu 14.04 | 21:29 |
| ikonia | skinux: oops, sorry, not you | 21:29 |
| ikonia | sickgirl: ubuntu 14.04 | 21:29 |
| ikonia | not ghome, gnome is the desktop libraries in ubuntu | 21:29 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: you around? | 21:31 |
| sickgirl | ikonia: thx | 21:31 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: stay on 14.04 its good for 5 years | 21:31 |
| sickgirl | dw1: but using gnome or not? | 21:31 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: if you want... there are lots of desktops http://tinyurl.com/ubdesk | 21:32 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: i think i figured out where my problem was partially. i was installing the drivers with the .run file doing generic install and then after was doing the install of the fglrx*.deb files, when really all you need to do is the .deb files since they're compiled for the ubuntu 14.04 build while the .run file does a generic build. only supposed to use the .run file to generate the build for 14.04 not install the generic drivers and | 21:32 |
| phi0x | then install fglrx*.deb | 21:32 |
| sickgirl | dw1: thx | 21:32 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: i use gnome-session-flashback aka gnome classic | 21:32 |
| Pupeno_ | How would I pipe the output of a command, like pg_dumpall, to a file on another server? | 21:32 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: Yeah , I be here. | 21:33 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: but now when i purge everything and just install fglrx*.deb the amdconfig/aticonfig commands dont actually install to /etc/ati or /usr/share/ati for some reason. yet when i purge again, it says it's purging the fglrx files | 21:33 |
| skinux | wilee-nilee: You're right! Thanks for setting me straight. Frankly, I'd like to be able to be a volunteer supporter, instead of always being someone asking questions. | 21:33 |
| sickgirl | dw1: I don't know which one I'm using. My friend showed me another version was a easier interface, but I Don't want something easy.. I know it depends | 21:33 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: maybe there is a permissions issue with how the .deb files write the files to those folders and cannot write the files in properly? not sure. | 21:33 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: only way i can actually get the amdconfig cmd to work is when i install generic drivers via the .run file. | 21:34 |
| wilee-nilee | skinux, For me my ego does not allow me to ask, I have to figure it out. | 21:34 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: but then nothing really works, fglrxinfo cmd just hangs when using generic install of ati drivers. | 21:34 |

| skinux | ? | 21:35 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: OK, the end goal here is to bring up the system with 6 graphics cards installed, to utilize the memory of thise GPU's ? corect ? | 21:36 |
| Bashing-om | this/those* | 21:37 |
| sickgirl | dw1: http://ubuntued.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ubuntu-Gnome-3.8.jpg like this one | 21:37 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: yes need to have all 6 active. | 21:37 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: with generic install of ati drivers via .run cmd i believe i can get 1-4 cards maybe working. 1 for sure cause i remember before i plugged the other cards back in, it was working with 1 card. i think past 4-5 cards it may always have that issue with generic. | 21:38 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: ic | 21:38 |
| sickgirl | dw1: what? | 21:39 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: i just dont get why when i install *.deb files amdconfig commands arent installed. its supposed to be the custom built install packages for 14.04 when i run the .deb files. | 21:39 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: and when i run the .run file to do a generic install, it says its already installed. so i have to purge all fglrx* via apt-get. | 21:39 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: i see | 21:39 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: it seems to be partially installed when doing *.deb files | 21:39 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: I got some chores to get done, let me get back to this in a bit.. Now, just thinking, what does "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" relate, and is "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d " populated ? | 21:40 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: there is no xorg file unless i use generic install of .run ati drivers | 21:40 |
| sickgirl | dw1: sorry I'm not a native speaker and I don't know all codes you guys use. | 21:41 |
| dw1 | sickgirl: ah sorry | 21:41 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: Now that makes no sense to me that the proprietary driver does not make/need xorg.conf.. maybe time for me to do some homework... back in a bit .. | 21:41 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: yes ill keep testing things too | 21:42 |

| whoski_ | Hi, i just created an ubuntu virtual server. I just installed xchat on the server and need to figure out how to launch the application. | 22:09 |
| whoski_ | any ideas? | 22:09 |
| acovrig | whoski_, what access do you have (I.E. command line or graphical)? | 22:10 |
| whoski_ | command line | 22:10 |
| whoski_ | it's my first attempt at using command line | 22:10 |
| hroi | hi | 22:10 |
| whoski_ | i understand the directory systems | 22:10 |
| acovrig | xchat is a graphical program, you would need graphical access (may be able to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but I wouldn't recommend it) | 22:10 |
| trijntje | whoski_, try this command after installing a package to get the most likeley name | 22:11 |
| trijntje | dpkg -L packagename | grep bin | 22:11 |
| acovrig | whoski_, I know irssi is a command-line IRC client, but I don't know how 'good' it is | 22:11 |
| whoski_ | alright how would you recommend getting an irc client on command line ubuntu server then? | 22:11 |
| whoski_ | alright | 22:12 |
| acovrig | sudo apt-get install irssi is what I would do (just because I know about irssi) | 22:12 |
| whoski_ | alright ill run the command right now | 22:12 |
| whoski_ | how do you launch an application after it is installed via command line? | 22:12 |
| acovrig | then run irssi to open it (and do '/server <server>' and '/nick <nick>' and '/msg NickServ identify <nick> <password>', per say) | 22:13 |
| whoski_ | alright thanks | 22:13 |
| acovrig | whoski_, I don't know how good an idea it is if you are new, but personally I use GNU Screen (it allows me to have more than one virtual terminal open at once), so you can have the IRC open and still be able to use the command line. | 22:14 |
| trijntje | whoski_, if you run my command for xchat, you get /usr/bin/xchat as output, which tells you you can start it by typing xchat | 22:14 |
| acovrig | trijntje, but they don't have a GUI (CLI) xchat is a graphical-only program, isn't it? | 22:15 |

| hroi | daftykins, off course this isnt stricly a debian or ubuntu question | 22:18 |
| hroi | daftykins, suppose its openssh question | 22:18 |
| hroi | daftykins, ubuntu uses the debian package I think | 22:18 |
| ikonia | hroi: just ask it in #debian | 22:19 |
| daftykins | hroi: yes, debian is upstream - but it does affect what you're using and thus it affects what is supported in here. | 22:19 |

| daftykins | yeah, there are people there with *gasp* opinions :( it's horrifying | 22:25 |
| daftykins | acovrig: mm-hmm, there may even be a sample file still in the same path that you can re-use - whenever editing configs i'd copy it first to keep the original | 22:25 |
| freeroute | also, here's a technical explanation which I for the most part fail to grasp - http://radare.today/technical-analysis-of-the-gnutls-hello-vulnerability/ | 22:26 |
| daftykins | radare.today - bit of an odd address | 22:27 |
| freeroute | afaik it's one of the newer TLD's | 22:28 |
| daftykins | !info gnutls | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Package gnutls does not exist in trusty | 22:28 |
| daftykins | eh, i best not play with the bot to try and find out what it'd be called | 22:28 |

| daftykins | yes, but i'd also rather not | 22:29 |
| daftykins | oh, found it via apt-cache anyway | 22:30 |
| daftykins | yeah so unsurprisingly the version numbers are incomparable between redhat there and trusty | 22:30 |
| daftykins | freeroute: i'm too newb to know how to look up a packages version history sadly | 22:30 |
| freeroute | perhaps looking at libraries rather than individual packages might shed some light? | 22:31 |
| daftykins | not a clue :D | 22:32 |

| luvs2spooge | Hey guys. Is there any way to replicate dropbox in ubuntu? I don't want to use dropbox but my own storage device on my local network. (I have already looked at btsync but cannot use it as I want to point dydns to my ip) | 22:33 |
| freeroute | daftykins: you can see there, libgnutls26 is installed | 22:33 |
| ikonia | luvs2spooge: owncloud ? | 22:33 |
| daftykins | freeroute: ok, but i don't see where you're going with that | 22:33 |
| rincewind_ | daftykins you must feel the force around you. Then, someday, you will be able to look up this info. ;) | 22:33 |
| acovrig | luvs2spooge, I've heard owncloud is quite good (have yet to set it up myself) | 22:33 |

| peppersghost | owncloud is good for that | 22:34 |
| luvs2spooge | ikonia , acovrig , peppersghost : I cannot use owncloud because I am going to be running this off of a raspberry pi. | 22:34 |
| luvs2spooge | ikonia , acovrig , peppersghost : need something smaller | 22:34 |
| ikonia | luvs2spooge: then you are not using ubuntu | 22:34 |
| acovrig | will it not work on the pi? | 22:35 |
| luvs2spooge | ikonia: yes I am. | 22:35 |
| luvs2spooge | acovrig: too intensive for pi | 22:35 |
| ikonia | luvs2spooge: how are you using ubuntu on a pi ? | 22:35 |
| luvs2spooge | ikonia: stripped down | 22:35 |
| daftykins | ikonia: there is some unofficial modified version of it i believe | 22:35 |
| ikonia | luvs2spooge: that's not an answer | 22:35 |
| ikonia | daftykins: right, so it's not ubuntu then | 22:35 |
| daftykins | indeed. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | luvs2spooge: ubuntu doens't have an armv7 build, so it won't work on the pi | 22:35 |
| freeroute | OerHeks: I assume the "needed" tag signifies the patch hasn't been released for that library / distro version? | 22:36 |
| daftykins | freeroute: needed is under 'triage' which means nobody has confirmed it and assigned a severity, i'd think | 22:36 |
| OerHeks | freeroute, i think needed testing | 22:37 |
| daftykins | i'm curious what the 'DNE' beside Lucid means | 22:38 |
| daftykins | does not exist? | 22:38 |

| sacrelicious | hey guys, quick question here - I just connected my ubuntu laptop to my tv using HDMI for the first time, however its currently set to "extend" mode, where instead of displaying whats on my pc, it only displays a second desktop that I can drag windows on to | 22:48 |
| sacrelicious | is there a way to change this setting? | 22:48 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: it is installing .deb files now wish me luck | 22:48 |
| Buckles | ok, i was following a forum to dual boot with windows 8. Unfortunately after installing ubuntu i can only boot into windows 8. i used boot repair and got this URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/7568894/ | 22:49 |
| yxs | acovrig, thank you, this helps! | 22:49 |
| zaxius | i have two monitors, one on top of the other, but it thinks the top one is to the right of the bottom one. does anyone know how to fix this? | 22:50 |

| wilee-nilee | Buckles, Understandable, on the bootscript wiki is a link to it's webpage at the ubuntu forum, post the script there, excellent focused help in this area there. | 22:53 |

| screenuser | how do I remove my current ssh keys | 22:54 |
| screenuser | cuz I just reformatted my remote server | 22:54 |
| jrib | screenuser: remove them from what? | 22:54 |
| screenuser | I don't know, it keeps saying Host key verification failed when I try to ssh | 22:55 |
| nopii | zaxius: if you can't locate an about button somewhere in the menus, looking at pictures of both desktop envs on google should set things straight. | 22:55 |
| jrib | screenuser: read the whole message | 22:55 |
| whoski_ | i am running my first ubuntu server and am looking how to log different channels | 22:55 |
| screenuser | jrib: yes, I'm going to go through the ssh-keygen instructions again, but i want to make sure no old useless keys are lying around | 22:56 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: uh oh. it rebuilt xorg again saying check failed in gpu-monitor.log | 22:56 |
| zaxius | nopii: good idea, lol | 22:56 |
| jrib | screenuser: that's all you have to do | 22:56 |
| screenuser | it'll delete previous keys? | 22:56 |
| jrib | screenuser: well... maybe you can be more specific about what exactly you are doing. | 22:56 |
| screenuser | I'm just trying to ssh to my remote linode server (ubuntu) | 22:56 |
| jrib | screenuser: you said "I'm going to go through the ssh-keygen instructions again". What instructions exactly? | 22:57 |
| screenuser | jrib: https://library.linode.com/security/ssh-keys#sph_id2 | 22:57 |
| jrib | screenuser: what does this have to do with the message you originally quoted? | 22:58 |
| screenuser | jrib: can I just delete authorized_keys and uploaded_key.pub ? | 22:58 |
| screenuser | jrib, I thought the issue was the key was not valid | 22:58 |
| jrib | screenuser: if you reformatted your server, authorized_keys should be blank on your server... | 22:58 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Is LightDM the default login manager in xubuntu? | 22:58 |
| screenuser | jrib: what about my local machine? | 22:58 |
| jrib | screenuser: this message that you are getting about the host key not being valid... I asked you to read the whole thing. Do you want to pastebin it? | 22:59 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | If it is, and looks like it is (after looking at the process list), why isn't it documented anywhere? | 22:59 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: Unconfuse me -> gpu-monitor.log == Nvidia ? no ?? // then why are we discussing ATI/AMD ? | 22:59 |

| raj` | every instruction I find seems to tell me to change 127.0.1.1 within /etc/hostname to have the hostname I desire, but that file is empty for me. Though /etc/hosts does have some stuff, but that doesn't have 127.0.1.1 either | 23:11 |
| daftykins | raj`: check how your computer is called in /etc/hosts | 23:11 |
| IdleOne | !hostname | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 23:12 |
| festour | Hi all! Someone can help me with vsftpd? I cant upload someting in ftp server, ftp client give me 550 error. I have uncommentet write_enable=YES | 23:12 |

| m4xx | i've added myself to the audio group | 23:25 |
| nopii | if it doesn't work, is there a bug for it? | 23:25 |
| nopii | that'd be a pretty serious flaw | 23:25 |
| ikonia | nopii: it's a bit of a bad wording | 23:25 |
| ikonia | nopii: it technically does work, however all the services, name services, applications are registered on the old hostname, so changing it like that normally causes breakage | 23:25 |
| ikonia | nopii: so it technically does change the hostname | 23:25 |
| m4xx | alsamixer runs with out an error | 23:26 |
| nopii | i see | 23:26 |
| nopii | so you'd more or less have to restart everything | 23:26 |
| ikonia | nopii: somethings that can't be restarted | 23:26 |
| OerHeks | how often do you change hostname. it might break sudo too. | 23:26 |
| ikonia | nopii: it's a problem that's been around sine the dawn of time really, it's just accepted that it's a design flaw (or better worded description) | 23:27 |

| bobo69 | majorastro: what is the exact error message | 23:43 |
| letstrythis | rodney77: format a partition on the drive when installing | 23:44 |
| majorastro | serial port not found | 23:45 |
| Vivekananda | can I use okular in gnome 12.04 to read and annotate epub. I found that installing extra backends package should do it but even after the install I am not able to open the files. | 23:45 |
| letstrythis | otherwise you have to eit it in later and if you don't do it riight you could damage the install | 23:45 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: All looks to be in place. Bards are reconized, FGLRX drivers are loaded and adressing is done, All I can see in xorg file seems you are trying to use 6 monitors rather then one, and I get real fuxxy - maybe now trying to "screen" all the outputs to one monitor (??)// opencl what you are doing ? -> http://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo <-. With a change "aticonfig" is depreciated -> try as -> amdconfig --initial --adapter=all <- .... | 23:45 |
| Bashing-om | Bards/cards* | 23:45 |
| majorastro | so my error is com port something | 23:45 |
| rodney77 | letstrythis, I would rather not alter my drive like that, and it's too late now, as I have already installed my os | 23:46 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: yes i've done the --adapter=all --initial which created that xorg conf | 23:46 |

| phi0x | Bashing-om: but i dont want to test sgminer out now since fglrxinfo isnt outputting. i think if it doesnt output then it means sgminer wont work either. | 23:47 |
| bobo69 | majorastro: ok, I dont have an arduino on hand atm but I think you need to select the correct serial port | 23:47 |
| majorastro | that what i am trying to figure out | 23:48 |
| bobo69 | majorastro: what happens when you type groups into a terminal | 23:48 |
| Vivekananda | hope someone can comment/help on the problem with okular and epub in gnome | 23:49 |
| letstrythis | if i ecall sgminer would detect te cards if the drivers ae installed properly regardless of if the os knows they are | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: I do agree that fglrxinfo must show functioning.. As to where it is failing, sorry even after all this I do not have a clue. | 23:49 |
| letstrythis | i'd use sgminer bt i don't think any versions use cpu's so meh | 23:49 |
| phi0x | Bashing-om: yes i dont know where the log is for fglrxinfo | 23:50 |
| letstrythis | i had much the same worries with guiminer in windows...but guiminer worked | 23:50 |
| Bashing-om | phi0x: Maybe look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. see what it has to tell. | 23:52 |

| bobo69 | bad idea | 23:53 |
| bobo69 | bad idea | 23:53 |
| majorastro | sudo arduino | 23:54 |
| letstrythis | why not just run gpuid, and see if oencl libraries are listed as capabilities? driver version should be displayed too i think? | 23:54 |
| bobo69 | usermod -a -G dialout whateveryourusernameishere | 23:54 |
| bobo69 | then log out and back in | 23:54 |
| bobo69 | dont sudo that | 23:55 |
| majorastro | youre talking about arduino | 23:55 |
| bobo69 | yeah | 23:55 |
| majorastro | youre right there was a dialout thing when i stated it | 23:55 |
| majorastro | enter my username etc | 23:55 |
| majorastro | but stil not go | 23:55 |
| bobo69 | yeah you will be fine after you add yourself to the dialoutgroup with that command | 23:56 |
| bobo69 | provided you log out an in | 23:56 |
| majorastro | okay | 23:56 |
| majorastro | but why would sudo be a bad idea | 23:56 |
| letstrythis | what does it mean when monitorix says my nice is 97*? | 23:56 |
| letstrythis | 97% | 23:57 |
| bobo69 | majorastro: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16178/why-is-it-bad-to-login-as-root probably explains things better than I could | 23:57 |
| majorastro | okay secrutiy issue | 23:58 |
| bobo69 | but its dangerous and insecure | 23:58 |
| majorastro | okay so am trying to muodulate a pwm on adruino | 23:58 |
