[00:00] blah [00:00] Hrm, this article, is this reffering to the Linux OS booted directly on the MBR or on the GPT? [00:01] no idea [00:02] hrm [00:02] it says what it says :) I wll point out this little tidbit I just noticed: "It?s quite easy you need just a Linux live cd like (the Ubuntu live cd or Knoppix) or an installed Linux you want get rid of." I'm not sure it's an entirely accurate statement... I'm sure someone else has more knowledge on the subject than I do. I only know what I read. [00:03] Hello, I've got a Compaq Presario C500, can't get it to shutdown all the way. Can I fix this? [00:03] Hrm, ok, I'll read further, maybe there's something I haven't seen; thanks! [00:03] Vap, hold the power button for about 10-20 seconds [00:04] You should hear a little *click* and the computer should completely power off [00:04] (this is OS independent, it's a hardware feature) [00:04] That's really all I can do at this point, anyway of getting it to shutdown without forcing it? [00:05] hrm [00:05] How much time did you give Ubuntu to do it? [00:05] Sometimes the shut down times can be pretty stupidly long [00:05] card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ?? [00:05] If you messed up the Windows boot loader...you might need to use your Windows DVD to rebuild that boot loader first then install GRUB [00:05] well over an hour, until the battery died. [00:06] Well, uhm, thats rather odd [00:06] Other than the ACPI shutdown, I haven't a clue [00:06] card: Another link that seems useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/183799/fix-windows-mbr-using-ubuntu-live-cd-and-ms-sys-tool [00:06] klrk, I appreciate the offer a TON, but I can't use the install media [00:06] Thanks allot! :) [00:06] (for reasons that I don't quite understand myself) [00:07] No prob, sorry I couldn't do anything else for ya :) [00:08] Shutting down your computer is so 1997 :P [00:08] oh it's a laptop didn't realize that [00:08] xD [00:09] "real men just sleep their computers!" [00:09] Yes just leave your laptop on for the rest of eternity [00:09] ew sleep always messes things up [00:09] xD [00:09] K1rk, Many here are multi booting, one reboots to get there. [00:09] Hibernating on Windows breaks more stuff than all hell [00:09] Aha! [00:09] Apb, you might just have found the solution [00:10] Using the link you gave me, it appears I can explodimate my MBR and replace it with one precisely for Windows [00:10] wilee-nilee: Yeah I know I'm 40% joking. [00:10] K1rk, Please don't make sweeping generalized statements here, opinions and jokes are yours not the channel. [00:10] ;) [00:11] Now, the question is now; how do I load a linux OS so that it see's everything from the MBR side of town instead of the GPT? [00:11] Would using an OS that only boots in BIOS mode accomplish this? [00:12] I am trying to install a vsftpd server in ubuntu 14.04 it seems it does not work, after sudo apt-get install vsftpd the server is not listening... [00:12] card, yes, any bios booting OS first boots from the MBR, whether you are using gpt or not [00:12] After googoling it seems like a 14.04 problem [00:12] hello [00:12] I'm trying to install ubuntu on my macbook 2,1 [00:13] but I keep cropping up against the error from the refit boot loader : error not found returned from legacy loader [00:13] Psui and apb, you brilliant motherf***rs! :D [00:13] Kion, googoling, that a new dance?;) [00:13] Wait wait ptepety, this is a macbook 2,1? [00:13] What year is this from? [00:13] an ancient device ^___^ [00:13] made out of stones [00:13] :P [00:14] not sure [00:14] Seriously though, is it so old it has a PowerPC processor? [00:14] 2006 [00:14] lol [00:14] Hrm [00:14] intel core2 duo [00:14] Ah [00:14] So lemme see here [00:15] First of all, if you haven't booted Ubuntu already, I tryed for AGES without getting it to work until I figured it out [00:15] First of all, I wiped anything related to Ubuntu, and cleared out some free space at the end of the disk [00:15] ptepetey, I doubt ubuntu will run on that, I would start lighter with lubuntu. [00:15] Then, boot into the liveCD and "try OS". Keep installation as normal, but when it asks you how to install [00:16] select "something else" [00:16] ptepetey, How much memory? [00:16] 2gb [00:16] 2ghz [00:16] Oh Ubuntu should run fine with that, shouldn't it? [00:16] ptepetey, Should work than, my mistake. [00:16] (Fine meaning it will boot without errors usually :P) [00:16] problem is the boot loader [00:16] Ah yes [00:17] I have a remedy for that as well [00:17] i created a bootable usb with the linux pendrive installer [00:17] **should work** [00:17] Which ISO did you use? [00:17] i tried both 64bit [00:17] Did you make sure it was 32 bit and NOT the "Mac ISO" image? [00:17] it's a 64bit processor [00:17] Are you sure? [00:17] pretty sure [00:17] wait [00:17] That computer definately seems 32 bit [00:17] let me check [00:18] !who | ptepetey [00:18] ptepetey: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:18] Hell, at that time, even though they COULD make a 64-bit computer (I think), it probably wasn't useful [00:18] Since you only have 2 GB of RAM [00:18] card: Almost everything you ever wanted to know about the MBR & GPT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [00:18] Can I just give you like a virtual high-five complete with a "HELL YEAH" apb? [00:19] Anyways, try the 32 bit ISO [00:19] NOW [00:19] card: if you insist [00:19] Make sure to install rEFInd from OSX first [00:19] It will save you countless hours of fixing things [00:19] !who | card [00:19] card: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:20] @ ptepetey :P [00:20] those of you running a windows VM, what's worked best for you? I gave KVM a go and it was great but the graphical lag was odd. Giving Virtualbox another go since it's seemed to work the best so far. [00:20] *gives virtual high five* [00:20] yeah it's the 2007 model [00:20] !card [00:20] factotum, Best is an opinion and polling here is not supported. [00:20] which is 64b [00:20] Ok [00:20] Well, uhm [00:21] wilee-nilee: noted [00:21] Install the 32 bit ISO either way [00:21] It couldn't hurt since you have less than 4 GB of RAM [00:21] ok [00:21] cool [00:21] If that doesn't work, come back (remember to install rEFInd before Ubuntu) [00:21] Now also [00:21] ptepetey, Preface every answer to another with their nick please. [00:21] card thanks [00:21] for the card [00:21] Ptepe, make sure when your installing and your using "something else"(cont) [00:22] You make SURE that the "boot loader installation" option is NOT set to /dev/sda [00:22] "something else ? " [00:22] It has to be set to the one immediately under it, /dev/sda1 [00:22] Yeah, make sure to use the "Something Else" option in the Ubuntu installer [00:22] cool [00:22] well [00:22] Manually create the EXT4 and swap partitions [00:23] let's try to get the installer to appear first of all [00:23] oh... [00:23] xD [00:23] Let me see, uh, try booting it from rEFInd (it should pop up a little menu at boot) (also rEFInd is like a 2 MB download so don't hesitate), and try the 32 bit ISO [00:23] xD [00:23] Make sure you don't use the "Mac ISO", that breaks everything on macs [00:24] (ironic, I know) [00:24] Good luck! [00:24] mahh [00:24] must've been built by the mac haters [00:24] it's a trap! [00:24] xD [00:24] Actually, it was built to help [00:24] And *sometimes* it does [00:24] hehe [00:24] (It forces the computer to boot in BIOS emulated mode) [00:25] But *most of the time*, it breaks everything and kills everyone you love and hold dear [00:25] So again, I wouldn't use it unless your doing some VERY specific stuff between windows and linux ptep [00:26] and... you want your mac to explode [00:26] :p [00:26] ;P [00:26] just kidding [00:26] still it will be good to go from tiger to ubuntu [00:26] the wonder of moving from java 2 to java 7 [00:26] lol [00:27] Java 2 lmao [00:27] Use OpenJDK if Oracle refuses lol [00:27] hmm [00:27] (Worst case scenario, I think you have to use some form of the Java 6 JDK) [00:27] maybe I should just try light ubuntu [00:27] it would run faster right [00:27] Lubuntu is a good idea [00:28] Yeah, it should [00:28] ace [00:28] Ace? No that's my son *badatss* [00:29] Hell, Debian might be a good idea [00:29] Most Ubuntu packages work on Debian (unless they do something Ubuntu-specific), and pure Debian itself isn't too bad [00:29] Also, use a lightweight desktop enviroment [00:29] why debian [00:29] I think KDW has something like that? [00:29] and not lubuntu [00:29] KDM* [00:30] Debian is extremely light-weight [00:30] It comes with like a desktop and thats it [00:30] And it should run most of your software [00:31] so basically they're all equivilent [00:31] Hi [00:31] ... not necessarily [00:31] In terms of software running, mostly yes [00:31] I downloaded ubuntu 14.04 iso file and then simply burnt it on a dvd [00:32] but my laptop doesn't start from dvd and install new version of ubuntu [00:32] do I have to burn it in some special mode? [00:32] In terms of how "heavy" they are, Debian is extremely bare boned (most people just use it to create a more "complete" OS; Ubuntu and Mint are based off of Debian) [00:32] Yes. [00:32] Go into your BIOS [00:32] (up up right right left down down) [00:32] to unlock special mode [00:32] ;) [00:32] And change the boot order, so that the CD-R drive is before the hard drive [00:33] thats how it is now [00:33] Hrm [00:33] What happens? [00:33] Optical drive, then hdd [00:33] Does it just skip straight to Windows? [00:33] Also, what do you have, Windows 7 or Windows 8? [00:33] i have ubuntu 8 on my old laptop [00:33] so it boots into ubuntu 8 [00:33] Hello [00:33] :-) [00:33] Ah [00:33] So no Windows [00:33] no [00:34] Gotcha :) [00:34] Let me think here... hrm... [00:34] http://johannessto.deviantart.com/ [00:34] :-) [00:34] I had a old bootable ubuntu 8 cd ..i just installed it 2 days back using that cd ... [00:34] Odd... [00:34] Hrm [00:34] Try re-downloading and burning the ISO [00:34] Set it to burn as slow as practically possible [00:34] ALSO [00:35] I wouldn't recommend a DVD install [00:35] If I were you, I would do a USB-boot [00:35] Or if that doesn't work, a frugal boot is even more bullet-proof [00:35] in the boot option in my laptop, there is no usb boot [00:35] :( [00:35] ... :( [00:35] Try the frugal boot with UNetBootin [00:36] how do I do it? [00:36] frugal boot [00:36] any link? [00:36] Hrm [00:36] Download UNetBootin [00:36] But when it asks you where to burn the ISO [00:37] Just don't change the option to any USB port [00:37] On Windows it should say C://, on *NIX it should say something similar [00:37] ok... [00:37] let me explore [00:37] Don't worry, it's not erasing your disk, it's just using the OS's own boot loader [00:38] I needs apache2 help [00:38] card: thanks ... i'll give it a shot [00:40] hmm card: it didn't like lbuntu either [00:40] Soo, i went into the etc directory and opened up the hosts file and changed localhost to cheese and it worked fine till i removed the index file in /var/www when i tried to make another file and restart apache i got this error "AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message" [00:41] Oh it doesn't like Lubuntu either... [00:41] Hrm [00:41] and now when i go to 127.0.0.1 or just type cheese nothing happens [00:41] Are you using rEFInd /nag? [00:41] If you are, then I haven't a clue [00:41] GuyThatNeedsHelp: yeah that's not actually a serious error, it's obvious you're trying to make use of apache without reading into docs about it or education yourself about it. [00:41] just vanilla rEFInd [00:41] you're right [00:41] it [00:41] *educating [00:41] even [00:42] But i've removed files before and it worked fine [00:43] GuyThatNeedsHelp: typically, if you owned example.com and you had a server called "server", you would call your server by its' FQDN or fully qualified domain name - which would be server.example.com - so that's what apache likes to be able to see in hosts files etc. === justinS is now known as jhsimpson [00:44] GuyThatNeedsHelp: things will still work, it'll just always print that error message until you resolve it... every time you start/restart the service. so i'd recommend you look into the apache fundamentals on how to set up a new web server [00:44] GuyThatNeedsHelp: the thing is, this channel is more for support of the OS... not support on how-to-do-every-task-ever with the OS [00:45] daftykins: why do you have to hurt me all the time?

I travel a lot - and spend a lot of time on corp networks and in hotels - I have always used TeamViewer for remote access rom my WINDOWS PC to my Ubuntu box - no setup needed, no ports needed, and works really from anywhere.

Tomahawk - the music player to end all music players. Type in your criteria (artist, genre, etc.) and it finds it anywhere on the Net and plays it. [01:04] Why can't ubuntu find network printer anymore????? [01:04] probably some unfinished update broke everything again [01:05] ****!!! [01:06] Ah hrm [01:06] Oh you have a mac [01:06] That would've helped :P [01:06] I would just use UnetBootin for burning, it works cross-platform from personal experience [01:06] yea i have 2 pc ..one old laptop on which i have ubuntu while I was burning the dvd on mac [01:07] Ah hrm [01:07] my computer and printer are connected to the same wifi and ubuntu doesn't find the printer!! hellp!!! [01:07] So yeah, UNetBootin: it works wonders [01:07] Tyhma, first of all, calm down [01:07] card: it worked like a charm a month ago [01:08] Screaming "HEEEELP" won't help at all :p [01:08] Ah [01:08] Hrm [01:08] Your sure you have the drivers?

[01:15] Are there any known problems with the "mac" live USB image & OS X 10.9.2? I tried formatting a usb stick using both the mac and Windows techniques and wasn't able to see the USB key as a bootable drive on the macbook pro. [01:15] aeturnum: does the unit boot usb? i had to use plop on the mac i was using.. plop or a CD [01:17] holstein: Its possible it doesn't boot from usb...Ive never tried before [01:17] aeturnum: then, dont assume its an issue with the image, or the USB stick [01:17] aeturnum: there *are* known issues with mac's booting usb.. like, usually, they dont/cant [01:17] all I can say is ubuntu makes my life difficult... **** [01:18] aeturnum: you can take the USB to a non-mac, and try booting it, then, you'll know that the stick is "good" [01:18] Makes sense - you said you used plop? [01:18] tyhma_: ? [01:18] gotcha [01:18] aeturnum: plop allows to boot a CD, and select the USB from there to be booted [01:18] aeturnum: on mac hardware, i try and do what is expected.. a CD or DVD when possible [01:18] I was worried that, as there is a specific "mac" image, the image might not work on a non-efi board (or whatever) [01:19] Obiwantje: I use teamviewer. I stumbled on something called X2go yesterday. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. [01:19] aeturnum: that may be an issue..

Or if I would have any issues on apparmor. All I want is to enforce a since profile (alone on /etc/apparmor.d/). [02:27] RaMcHiP, In a Ubuntu context yes, there is #ubuntu-server as well. [02:27] atari314, I have never used it is all. ;) [02:28] wilee-nilee: :) [02:29] I hear it's the bees knees though === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [02:30] Well I am trying to figure out how to disable password recover to help even hardware access penetration [02:30] wilee-nilee: yup, works pretty smooth, but all doc I find kinda force me to use the apparmor-utils, and, unfortunately I cannot install all those deps, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep apparmor without 'em. [02:31] I have googled it but am coming up blank getting totally off topic results no matter my wording [02:33] RaMcHiP: can you give us a bit more detail of what you mean? [02:34] Hi i Just got a pair of powerbeats is there a way to make the pause/play and volume up/down buttons work?

[02:38] RaMcHiP: You need to remove such option from grub, disable recovery more and root shell, as for insecure server room, full encription or couple of K-9 [02:38] RaMcHiP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/321115/how-to-remove-password-recovery-reset [02:38] RaMcHiP: once someone has physical access they can boot from, for instance, an external USB or DVD. You can apply a password to GRUB's boot menu though, if you want to block easy access to the Recovery option [02:42] RaMcHiP: pretty much, if they can touch it, its a matter of time [02:48] hi, anyone workign with sublimetext3 on 14.04? [02:49] Ya, I know but I want to prevent as much as posssible [02:49] and all the basic methods [02:49] aflach nik rumbus ni ho chem po chi?

[03:02] imagine i have two programms running on the same machine and they establish a socket connection (in C) over their LAN-wide hostname. would the data be transfered over the "real" network (limiting the bandwidth to wire-speed) or is there some mechanism that redirects such machine-local traffic? [03:05] yosry2: do you have idea on my problem? [03:06] ajvillalobos: am searching for u over google [03:06] im doing it too. hehe.

I suggest using 8gb of memory. [03:12] Its never been a problem before and I have no money for a computer upgrade or that would of happened already [03:13] XYZAFFAIR, well the other advice I could give is to update your graphics driver. [03:13] or downgrade.. [03:14] holstein, really? downgrading helps? [03:14] holstein, Why downgrade? [03:14] XYZAFFA1R: if you say "it's always worked in the past, and i have no money to upgrade the hardware" run the older software that works.. 12.04 is still supported [03:15] OK How do I downgrade? [03:16] XYZAFFA1R: i would first relax and try some other drivers in 14.04 [03:16] I heard a ping, who pinged me [03:16] holstein, yeah, how do I downgrade [03:16] yosry2: see if this help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2117020 <- symlinks to partitions.

[05:26] sickgirl, My hypothesis on the enablers is they are parents, they are used to this, personally i have never had children, just a guess though. [05:27] wilee-nilee: what? [05:28] sickgirl, I just had made comments on the support the people who never research and come here for hand holding and get enabled to continue this methodology [05:29] All, trying to write a BASH script to find any/all USB flash drives, using CLI of: a.) dmesg |grep -i 'SCSI device', b.) fdisk -l | grep sdd, and c.) df -h | grep dev to create exposure VAR containing a.) Flash Name, b.) Size, c.) Available Space, d.) Mount point. Hope someone has some hints, cause been working on this a while and not getting where I want to go yet! [05:29] sickgirl, You research you try to figure this stuff out, that is what I like to see anyway. [05:30] TBotNik: paste your script on pastebin and show us [05:30] TBotNik: There is also #bash [05:30] wilee-nilee: ah I see.. [05:30] wilee-nilee: Gave up on player after 6 hrs and nothing making anything work! [05:31] TBotNik, I forget exactly what you were working on, my brain is the size of a walnut, on a good day. ;) [05:31] is anyone here aware of a hack to get around the 5gb min hard driver requirement? I have a 4gb emmc [05:31] drive* [05:31] wilee-nilee: All I have for code is: FD="`fdisk -l | grep -i disk | grep -i media`"; [05:31] DI="`df -h`"; [05:31] #echo ${FD} | od -bc; [05:31] echo ${FD}; [05:31] echo ${DI}; [05:31] exit 0; [05:31] TBotNik you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [05:32] !mini | Valtam A guess here [05:32] Valtam A guess here: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:32] Trying to create a Arch Linux container using lxc-create and receiving http://paste.ubuntu.com/7592605/ [05:32] Was hopeful that someone else here could also try, So I can file a bug. [05:34] wilee-nilee: the operating system is fixed size,somewhere in the OS there would be a setting for the 5gb min [05:34] Valtam, IF you say so. [05:34] I need to know where that is set, where the installer checks it [05:34] wilee-nilee: The echos work right, but run all the line together. You see I tried, but commented out the "| od -bs" option, because it was too cryptic also. [05:35] sp "but run all the lines" and "| od -bc" [05:35] TBotNik: are you trying to grep for both disk *and* media, or greping for media in the result of 'grep disk' ? [05:36] wilee-nilee: I try, but I overthink and most of the time I'm slow. btw do you know where I can read to learn more things? === WhiteWolf|AWAY is now known as White_Wolf [05:37] wilee-nilee: The later! But there were issues where I got sde1 from fdisk and sdc1 from df, so need to plug in "dmesg" to make sure I'm getting right drive designator from these. [05:38] sickgirl, Not really, the little I do know was ascertained being on the ubuntu forums and lurking here at first, and about 7-8 years of use, however I started on open source, I think that has been helpful. [05:39] wilee-nilee: sounds nice, curiosity is always good I guess. [05:39] wilee-nilee: I really want to get the right drive designator into VAR SDDRV, then run fdisk to get just the drive 'size' and then get 'available space' and mount point from 'df' [05:40] sickgirl, Yeah has been more of an obsession, this was al while getting a undergrad and now in grad school, but not related to computers, to much free time and little of any responsibilities. [05:41] wilee-nilee: Then DF cmd would be "df -h | grep -i ${SDDRV}". Don't thing I would need anything else. [05:41] I had been self employed for a long time as well, so self motivated [05:41] wilee-nilee: I know "self employed" === ahmad_ is now known as ahmad^ [05:42] guys, I need assistance. [05:42] wilee-nilee: haha alright [05:43] TBotNik: so you're using /var/log/messages to determine what is mounted or not? [05:43] sp: Don't think I would need anything else. [05:44] hateball: Don't understand your msg/point. Explain! [05:44] TBotNik: Well you plug in devices, and want to know their mountpoint, is this correct? [05:46] TBotNik: I am just trying to understand what you are trying to achieve, easier to know why the script "isnt working" then [05:46] hateball: No I really already know that, but have to verify as it changes by device and device size. [05:46] hateball: That is why the final var must expose, so the calling script can check it all. [05:47] Trying to create a Arch Linux container using lxc-create and receiving http://paste.ubuntu.com/7592605/ [05:50] is rsync smart about only replacing modified files in a directory? [05:50] yes [05:50] so if I'm trying to update a directory, as long as that directory name exists in the directory I'm copying to, it'll update the changed files only [05:50] histo, the paste shows that you miss pacman... [05:51] rsync -Praz /home/raj/somedir/mydir raj@182.32.23.132:/home/raj/anotherdir [05:51] raj, for details see man rsync ;) [05:52] because `mydir` already exists in `anotherdir` [05:53] maybe use the arguments with trailing / ? [05:53] wilee-nilee: lotuspsychje: i'm off, thank you once again. both of you [05:53] sickgirl: cheerz! [05:55] planetmaker: I thihnk it's more having to do with the br0 [05:56] hateball: Just getting started on this, but even though I haven't started parsing anything yet, put up existing code at: http://pastebin.com/jREPRGxa [05:58] hateball: Before I start pasting need to make sure what I'm trying to parse. Right now formats are not right, but saw one thing saying the data format is right in STDOUT, but the "echo" statement is what concatenates it. Not sure of that, can you verify? [05:58] histo, it's generally a excellent idea to solve errors from top to bottom... so if you think you can solve the latter errors first... have fun :) [05:59] sp: Before I start parsing need [06:02] planetmaker: So it's a bug then thank you. [06:02] histo, so did you try after you installed pacman? [06:02] hateball: Think I need a "while" loop, but not good at that yet, so lot's of research to get things right. That is why I'm concerned about the STDOUT format, because I'll drive myself mad, if format is not what I think it is! [06:03] if you didn't, it will be hard to call it a bug, tbh [06:04] planetmaker: No, because my question was merely trying to find the issue. I'm not installing pacman on ubuntu. It's a patch that is needed upstream if they are going to distribute the template to create an arch guest. [06:05] planetmaker: the issue is that you ucan't bootstrap arch from within ubuntu host. [06:05] planetmaker: no pacman <<< [06:06] * histo and not the video game [06:06] lol I'm pretty much convinced that any archlinux bootstrap will need a pacman... [06:07] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Planner.png theres no way to write the task name/ description at the end of each bar line ? [06:09] planetmaker: yes it will I agree with you. I'm just trying to wrap my head around why the hell they would distribute a template for an Arch container in the default package. [06:09] Since it's not possible out of the box. [06:10] histo, the template still needs the tools to create it on the host system [06:10] and pacman is *the* tool for arch linux [06:10] planetmaker: then one would think since ubuntu dev's like to include so many other uneeded packages they would pull the required files. [06:10] a container is not a virtualized system [06:11] planetmaker: I'm well aware of what containers are. === Sgtmurder_ is now known as Sgtmurder [06:13] planetmaker: I assumed it would pull the necessary software to use the application as it was intended. [06:14] histo, the creation of a container cannot do that - that needs root priviliges to install on your system. And the installation of lxc is questionable. Should it automatically contain bootstrapping every possible system and distro? Or require you to post-install them as needed? [06:15] planetmaker: It should contain the packages to atleast bootstrap the distros of the TEMPLATES it ships with. [06:16] possibly [06:17] planetmaker: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-archlinux is there among others that I'm sure won't work. [06:24] TBotNik: Sorry I am at work so I don't have much time to look at things. Was just trying to clarify to make it easier for others to help as well :) [06:26] hello === administrator is now known as Guest40638 [06:28] TBotNik: You may have more success in #bash but what is the issue with the current output [06:28] hey [06:28] can i have some quick help [06:29] how do I grep a .log file to exclude all lines that contain "ProcessBlock" and "UpdateTip" and display everything else in console?

It works for any directory on the local filesystem that the apache user www-data has read-only permisisons on. I have a external hard drive which automounts to /media/user/diskid. The php script fails when attempting to stat() any directory in the mount.(con [06:42] If I chown /media/user/diskid to www-data the script still fails. If I remount the drive and leave /media/user/diskid owned by my user account and www-data with read-only permissions but chown /media/user to www-data, the php script runs fine. I'm a bit confused about why that is - anybody have any clarifying info? [06:46] hello, i get a message that i don't have enough RAM to send an error report, but the latop should have 2 or 4 GB.

[08:13] someHuman: so is unity's IMHO [08:13] The alt+tab, ctrl+d, taskbar they're simple and fast. [08:13] histo: vfat is not a choice in partition manager [08:13] apb1963: fat [08:14] We'll just see how after I've got XFCE :D [08:14] histo: fat16 and fat32 [08:14] apb1963: fat32 [08:15] apb1963: http://archive09.linux.com/feature/131218 [08:15] fresh from 2008 [08:15] gedit or emacs? [08:16] someHuman, dont poll here [08:16] bazhang: Ok [08:16] histo: article is 6 years old [08:16] haha wilee-nilee saw that too [08:16] someHuman: you still have alt+tab in unity and you can create keyboard shortcuts for system monitor like the task manager in windblows [08:17] histo: Haha what do people hate about Windows anyway? [08:17] someHuman: Well you couldn't change your DE to whatever you fancied in windblows now could you? [08:17] histo: Yup [08:18] someHuman: psssst.... it's not free either. [08:19] histo: fat32... Problem Remains the Same [08:20] apb1963: how are you un mounting the drive? are you just yanking it out? [08:20] histo: Yes [08:21] apb1963: do you have another thumb drive to test? === graingert is now known as Guest6757 [08:22] sorry... was time for my quarter of the hour irc client crash. [08:22] histo: actually... it mounted.. even though the message said it didn't [08:22] apb1963: that's odd. [08:22] histo: very [08:23] histo: but yes... I have another one === alin is now known as Guest7833 [08:24] apb1963: see if the other one behaves the same way. [08:25] Good morning [08:25] how are you guys [08:25] histo: it does. Notification of failure to mount... but mounts anyway. [08:25] what is the newest ubuntu news today [08:26] apb1963: What version of ubuntu are you running? [08:26] histo: I didn't see that much of a change when I installed XFCE [08:26] someHuman: change in what? [08:26] histo: 12.04 [08:26] histo: Performance [08:26] histo: It in fact slowed [08:27] Ok how I want my DE to look is to be similar to Cinammon [08:27] apb1963: Is this a gui error you are receiving? [08:27] histo: yes [08:27] someHuman: then install cinammon [08:27] someHuman: what type of video card do you have? [08:27] histo: AMD [08:27] someHuman: and what are you measuring your performance by? [08:27] Speed [08:28] histo: I want speed :D [08:28] Speed and stability [08:29] someHuman: speed of what and what are you compairing it to? [08:29] histo: Mint [08:29] histo: I mean Manjaro [08:29] Manjaro Linux [08:30] someHuman: I doubt you'll see much difference speed wise from xubuntu to manjaro [08:30] someHuman: ahh it's arch based [08:30] I also want to change the look of my DE, probably similar to Cinammon [08:30] why i have to update [08:30] histo: Yup [08:30] major reason i meant?! [08:30] someHuman: you can install cinnamon [08:31] histo: On it [08:31] It seems that I replaced Unity? [08:31] someHuman: you didn't replace unity you just installed xfce [08:31] The only change I have noticed is the login screen and bootsplash [08:31] Is anything bad about removing Unity? [08:32] That probably slows the boot. [08:32] I expect XFCE to speed things up [08:32] I'm not getting my expectation :( [08:34] someHuman: unity has nothing to do with the boot [08:35] histo: It's slower now :( [08:35] It's suppose to speed things u[p [08:35] someHuman: I highly doubt that. [08:35] up* [08:35] Yeah it is slow [08:35] someHuman: installing xfce would not effect your boot speed. === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [08:35] histo: Can I remove Unity then?

[08:41] I want to assign it to super key/windows key [08:41] someHuman, right click [08:41] apb1963: the primary difference is that instead of mounting at /media/usb0, now it mounts at /media// [08:41] someHuman: what menu button? [08:41] labeeb32, Worth looking at. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [08:41] histo: ^ [08:42] apb1963: I don't believe that string is random, it's probably the guid of the disk [08:42] apb1963: probably right.

[08:44] apb1963: what's wrong with the other external? [08:44] Hello [08:45] histo: nothing. yet. I'm just worried that since I disabled automounting, it will be affected. [08:45] histo: won't know until I reboot [08:46] apb1963: Oh ... So you didn't fix the issue you just disabled the automounting. [08:46] apb1963: I thought you meant it was disabled orignally. [08:46] apb1963: NO idea why your thumb drives are throwing errors with automount on. That's odd. [08:46] Hmm, I have a problem, when I install java (with sudo apt-get install default-jdk), the intall is OK but I havve an error : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), can you help me ? :D [08:46] histo: no... it was enabled. I disabled it, and then it automounted. [08:46] histo: very odd [08:47] histo: Odder than the Odd Couple. [08:48] Anyone can help me ? :( [08:48] Woah I lost a lot of keyboard shortcuts! [08:48] Where is the whisker menu located? [08:48] histo: so here comes my primary test for the monkey drive... Back In Time :) [08:48] hello everyone, do you know if photorec or testdisk has an own irc channel?

[08:50] lamrz: They don't have a channel here. There is a forum on their site; however, I'm also quite experienced with both so if you want ask away. [08:50] someHuman: You're not making any sense whatsoever. [08:50] thank you histo! thank you bazhang! I have a big problem, I have to find my keyring files that were deleted. I am trying it with photorec, it has pgp/gpg search option, though with partial support, as it says. and then there is a "brute force" enable/disable option. I'd like to ask if it damages my disk or the current files in it to enable brute force. [08:50] histo: I done it haha! [08:51] lamrz: if you're worried about damaging the disk, I would create an image and work from that image. Photorec should be read only. === moarrr is now known as moarrr_bitcoinz [08:55] histo : Can you help me ?

[09:04] histo, I have several disks to search, creating images should take time, I think? [09:04] or rather, I guess? [09:05] histo, do you mean, read-only prevents damaging even if I dont create an image, and work on the disk directly? [09:07] lamrz: The first rule of data recovery create an image and work from that. If any writes are comitted to the disk you are losing chances at recovery of your files. [09:07] lamrz: just the disk being mounted causes changes etc... === ubuntu is now known as Guest84237 [09:12] lamrz: [09:13] histo, how can I create that image? with dd?

You obviously belong elsewhere. [10:05] titch515, unity is one isnt it? what are the others? how do you change? [10:05] mashu: yes, I think they're called 'desktop environments' [10:05] !de [10:05] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[10:05] nope, not that [10:06] !desktop | mashu [10:06] mashu: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), !LXDE (lubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [10:06] thanks bcvery [10:06] ^^ what he said [10:06] titch515, those are the different flavours ... how do i change?

The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build' have not been configured. [10:07] I originally had Ubuntu 14.04 as one of my native OS, and had just replaced unity with XFCE DE [10:07] Jordan_U, histo has quit all of a sudden. he last told me that I could mount the drives read only to use photorec. In this case do I not need to create dd images anymoreß [10:08] Is my case similar to installing Xubuntu mainly? [10:08] someHuman: there is not always a need to replace. Our local sysadmin customized gnome to an extent that it's hard to find a difference of his setup and xfce. [10:08] gry: I like my DE better than Unity [10:08] I think that potential might be ...underestimated. [10:08] It crashes and stuff [10:09] !GUI [10:09] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [10:09] I don't have a way to know, I didn't try it. I recall it's more stable in 14.04 than in non-LTS releases. [10:09] Mashu: install the desktop environment you want and then choose it at the login screen [10:09] gry: Yup [10:09] does mounting a drive read-only eliminates the need to create its image before deploying photorec on it? [10:10] sudo apt-get install [10:10] eliminate* [10:10] In my case, seems like as if I had Xubuntu originally. In Xubuntu's download page http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ they offer Trusty Tahr too which is probably the same as with Ubuntu [10:11] sudo apt-get upgrade is a full system update right? [10:11] I am doing it now [10:11] someHuman: define "upgrade" from what to what are you expecting [10:11] ikonia: I just want my system to be up to date [10:12] someHuman: that will take your packages to the current versions in the repo [10:12] ikonia: Ah, what then is a full system update? [10:12] system update ? from what to what ? [10:12] someHuman, apt-get upgrade will update all packages in your current ubuntu version to latest, also installing any new dependencies that might be required to perform full package upgrade. It does not get your from 12.04 to 14.04. [10:13] someHuman, sudo apt-get update [10:13] iptable: Ah, I lack of my expression. [10:13] someHuman, sudo apt-get upgrade [10:13] I ran upgrade instead of update [10:13] update just updates the meta package index [10:13] I don't want to go to any versions of my distro, just want to update my packages. [10:14] someHuman, apt-get update will udpate a list of package available in the repo. Following that, apt-get upgrade will upgrade all those packages that are old, as I described [10:14] someHuman: apt-get update to bring your package LIST up to date, then apt-get upgrade to upgrade those packages to the lates versions in the list [10:14] I probably won't go into other versions of Ubuntu as 14.04 is the latest lol. [10:14] ikonia: Ah ok [10:14] someHuman, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:14] Will upgrade literally upgrade the packages into the latest? Even if it isn't stable? [10:15] That's how I see the difference of update from upgrade. [10:15] it weill not go outside your distro version [10:15] someHuman: no [10:15] it takes you to the latest version in the distro version, defined by the list you get from "apt-get update" [10:15] ikonia: Ah cool! I just want the stable release. [10:16] IF anyone uses cmus, do you know how to make it play m4a files properly? [10:16] at the moment all i get is static when i try to play them [10:16] someHuman, it will update them to the latest version available in the repos you are using. If you are using official repos for 14.04, it will upgrade to the latest available there - stable. [10:16] just out of curiosity what is the difference between linux minut and ubuntu apart form the installed programs and GUI? [10:17] jackarius86: maybe try a different player? [10:20] I would like to download a full set of the ubuntu isos for server and desktop, with a large mirror of the entire repository, could someone please point me in the right direction (eg, url), I've gone to the site and cant find the links to any DVD isos for ubuntu [10:20] I'm kinda paranoid that the worlds going to end and that I'm going to lose access to apt-get [10:20] thats my reason and I'm sticking to it [10:22] Cyberspirit, both server and desktop can be downloaded from www.ubuntu.com/download/server and www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop respectively [10:22] ive installed the standard desktop version of ubunu, 14.04 LTS [10:22] is there anything i need to do to make it secure? [10:23] ubuntu.com/download/server just links to the cd iso, not dvd iso [10:24] should I just make a mirror of the repository? [10:25] what's up guys !! :) [10:26] what is the most popular desktop environment for ubuntu?

[15:04] I've been debugging my network and installed wireshark to see if there were any clues as to why I was having connection issues. after installing wireshark and configuring it to capture packets without being root, network manager (and the software update UI) are asking me for my root password. [15:04] hi! have any of you tried copy cloud service? i've just created an account, installed the GUI but cannot share other folders but the copy home... [15:05] I'm assuming the wireshark change is what triggered it b/c it messes with capabilities and/or policy kit [15:05] two things I know nothing about :( [15:05] I have enabled Proprietary drivers for devices ( Restricted ) but it doesn't find proprietary drivers for my graphics card [15:05] talking about https://www.copy.com [15:06] also, it is *not* a sudo prompt b/c my password doesn't work and it specifically says "root" in the text.

Why I dont find Proprietary driver for graphics card in Additional Drivers update section? What should i do? [15:16] If I enter the IP addresses manually I can ping, so it does seem to be a problem with DNS itself [15:17] user__: you'd need to check the logs when the VPN connection is established, see if the route is being changed.

[15:31] Someus: might be just "fglrx" without the -installer part [15:32] ok it works [15:32] but i wonder why i didnt have that driver in Additional drivers list [15:32] Someus: actually, if you continue reading the 2.1 section, all the instructions for how to install is there step by step, including the fglrx install command [15:32] staya: shimmer-themes [15:32] on that site you posted [15:33] Mattias but i wanted to go for easiest way [15:33] wasnt so sure about that [15:33] try going into Synaptic. type in keywords: ati, amd, fglrx etc. [15:33] GUI way! [15:33] Someus: command line is the only thing I use, sorry :) most of the time command line is faster and easier [15:33] ok [15:34] could try apt-get install fglrx, see if it suggests others. [15:34] But i have problem [15:34] I am getting an error on a setup asking me to run dmesg, but it is empty. after unsuccessful search I tried sudo service dmesg status and got dmesg: unrecognized service. how do I run it as a service?

[15:50] waht [15:50] Hi [15:50] cobalt237: after manually changing the dns-server in network-settings, did you down/up the network-interface?

The important part here is that you are aware of release and end of release dates. [15:53] ubuntu1 running an unprotected system is ASKING for serious troubles [15:53] ubuntu1, an upgrade to 12.10 to 13.10 is possible, but I am not sure how well it works. A fresh install would be better [15:54] upgrade from* [15:54] what's the life span of a normal release? [15:54] if 13.04 is already eol? [15:54] planetmaker it is. sorry.

[15:56] planetmaker, As I sid depends lately some were 9 months DO THE RESEARCH. [15:56] said [15:56] wilee-nilee, with 13.04 on up for no LTS releases, they changed it to 9 months [15:56] testdr: okay, so comparing to my other machine, it also has the dns set to "75.75.75.75 75.75.76.76", I didn't notice the space originally [15:56] git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git uvcvideo [15:56] Cloning into 'uvcvideo'...

[16:20] yeah there's a problem with the desktop spaces [16:21] when you drag windows between the "spaces" unity/compiz freezes [16:21] :/ [16:21] i can't find any information about this [16:21] but i am having that problem on 2 different systems [16:23] hi [16:33] ok. i'm at a loss and i guess nobody here knows why compiz freezes when dragging windows between workspaces :/ [16:33] guess i'll try a forum [16:34] Macer, sorry we couldn't be of more help :( [16:34] phunyguy: yah. it seems like a huge bug. [16:34] i'm surprised more people haven't ran into it [16:35] It may not be that widespread. if you mentioned it before, I apologize, what ahrdware? [16:35] hardware* [16:35] AMD/ATI gpus [16:35] but on 2 different systems [16:35] same problem [16:35] one is an AMD A10.. the other is an i5 laptop with an amd [16:35] er.. ati [16:35] eehh... that is part of the reason. Linux and ATI doesn't really mix well. The open source drivers are mediocre, and the closed source drivers aren't maintained by the linux kernel devs. [16:36] makes it REALLY tough to keep things working outside of Windows [16:36] Can anyone explain why file descriptors are set to 1024 by default? This has bitten me in the butt twice so far and I'm really curious. [16:36] i don't know tho. i refuse to believe that such a giant bug is a matter of the hw devs being lazy :) [16:36] phunyguy: can you try it on your system? drag windows between workspaces? :) [16:37] Macer, I wish there was more I can give on that subject, but that is a downside to Linux+ATI, and has been for a long time. We cannot help that the hardware vendor keeps a tight lid on the proprietary driver source. [16:37] Macer, I do it on my systems all the time, but they have intel video hardware [16:37] blah lol [16:37] let me try the updates driver and see if it still breaks :/ [16:37] that sucks [16:37] it is 100% ATI related. I can promise that. [16:38] does cron use the same timezone as date command ? [16:38] ysh, cron uses whatever timezone you have set. [16:38] how can one check if there are other accesses to x11vnc ? [16:38] date can be made to use another timezone. [16:39] Macer: Have you filed a bug report? [16:39] ysh: unless you set CRON_TZ to something different, yes [16:40] phunyguy: so my date command output is in UTC, so cron will the same? [16:40] Ubuntu desktop and server have the same kern? and same about over low-level access? [16:40] Macer: which ubuntu release? [16:41] hi y'all! Anybody know how I can create virtual, encrypted volumes (like TrueCrypt), that can expand when more files are added to it? [16:42] ysh, what is the output of cat /etc/timezone? [16:43] gewoonm: If you only encrypt where files are, that makes it pretty obvious that there is encrypted data in a finite range. Only full volume encryption makes sense really, what's the application? (Reason for encryption) [16:43] i dont want to piss anyone off, but does powershell for windows make it as lower level acess as linuz? [16:43] pedestri: ask in ##windows [16:44] it is pretty powerful but it's off topic here [16:44] pedestri, probably, but that is not what this channel is for [16:44] and you should know that. [16:44] daftykins: application is storing my family photos in Google Drive. I want to store them per year, so for some years I have a predefined size, but obviously for this year the volume should expand :) [16:45] well im just debating on wether or not to stick with 8.1 === yash069 is now known as ysh [16:45] i spent 90 on it, but i like ubuntu also [16:45] gewoonm: you're aware that encrypting at your end won't make them encrypted on Google's end? [16:45] pedestri, again, not the proper channel [16:45] hi [16:46] daftykins: the idea was creating an encrypted volume in the Google Drive, so that it would synchronize a year as a full block of random looking data [16:46] gewoonm: You could use ecryptfs, which encrypts per-file including file-names [16:46] HALLO [16:46] !LIST [16:46] banana82: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [16:46] TJ- that would make it easier on the syncing for Google [16:47] TJ- but wouldn't that still give Google some idea at what I'm storing? [16:47] TJ- or am I being to paranoid now ;) [16:47] gewoonm: you were too paranoid from the beginning :) look into owncloud if you don't trust Google [16:48] owncloud++ [16:48] gewoonm: And probably really easy to achieve, since Ubuntu uses it to provide encrypted home directories already, so if you have one, your content is probably already encrypted (see "/home/.ecrypt/$USER/.Private/") === yash069_ is now known as ysh [16:48] TJ- yeah, but since Google Drive is living in user space, it would see the files un-encrypted also [16:49] daftykins: well the news is that NSA is intercepting photos for facial recognition since 2011, so that's where I got my paranoia from :D:D [16:49] gewoonm: Sizes will be slightly larger than the original, names are encrypted [16:50] gewoonm: depends on how you configure it, and how you configure the source ecryptfs [16:50] gewoonm: lol. [16:50] daftykins phunyguy owncloud is nice, but google stores 100GB on multiple servers for next to no money, I couldn't get a host to do that [16:50] gewoonm, my owncloud setup has 4TB to work with. [16:51] daftykins if you're interested: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27663130 [16:51] phunyguy but where do you host it? [16:51] phunyguy if it's in your own home, still not a good place for backups (my usecase) [16:51] gewoonm, at my house === tcpman is now known as Guest83821 [16:51] ahh backups, yeah owncloud is never a good use case for that [16:52] phunyguy, sorry should've mentioned that [16:52] full usecase is storing my photos encrypted offshore in a really cheap way [16:52] hahaha [16:52] unless you get a VPS and put it there, but you won't get 100GB for cheap. [16:53] ecryptfs looks like the way to go then [16:53] Google offers 100GB for $2, don't think anybody can beat that [16:54] nope, but small price to pay for privacy [16:54] (or lack of) [16:54] well.. probably not the best thing to do [16:54] i installed the ati drivers from the ati website [16:55] instead of using hte repo ones [16:55] lets see if it's still broken :D [16:55] yikes :) [16:55] yeah... bold move [16:55] Macer: please keep to as few lines as possible to avoid unnecessary unreadable channel spam [16:55] phunyguy: true, but let's see them cracking an AES-cypher [16:56] wow that actually worked [16:56] gewoonm, I am curious to see how all of this works for you. Good luck [16:56] Macer, if it works, then file a bug stating that [16:56] phunyguy daftyskins TJ- thank you, I've got something to play with this weekend! [16:56] phunyguy: heh.. well there was another problem using the proprietary drivers was giving me.. i'm about to test that now [16:56] gewoonm: good luck [16:56] resuming from suspend would completely freeze the laptop [16:57] lets see if i have that same issue [16:57] wilee-nilee: Sorry I didn't manage to paste those apt-get segfaults. I rebooted the machine and have now lost remote access. I guess apt-get messed something up that is critical of the boot up process. Now I am going to have to get the machine in and check it out. :-( [16:58] awesome.. everything works now :D [16:58] Macer, awesome! [16:58] yeah you should file a bug and notate the exact version of fglrx that works [16:58] and i just asked on a forum... heh... if someone replies to it i'll put my findings there [16:58] daftyskins phunyguy TJ- I'll post my progress here: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/5354846 (if you're interested) .

[18:42] swenzel: create it :) is the best advice i can give [18:43] I thought that too until I had a machine not boot to Windows after interupting a Linux initialization. But it was a corrupt HDD to start. [18:43] daftykins: not sure what to put into it [18:44] looking for support with apt-get/dpkg, any suggestions on what a good room would be? [18:45] swenzel: i assume your guide was suggesting to do something with it, if not i have no idea sorry. [18:46] Okie Doke, Windows booted normally. Sorry, I just cannot lose this machine. The last one died trying to install linux, but luckily it was junk and unimportant. [18:47] Drewcifer: as a genuine tip, when it comes to technology, never even sacrifice known-good working systems at even the most basic level as booting a flash drive if they are important to you :) [18:47] what are good places to chitchat with fellow ubuntu users other than #ubuntu-offtopic? [18:47] image it and backup the image [18:47] I tried for three days to back it up using windows and I didn't have a big enough HDD. [18:47] daftykins: You don't need to format a drive if you're writing an image to it, that's redundant. [18:47] Got a HDD and now I want to use it as my primary [18:48] jhutchins: i know, but there's also no harm. [18:48] stevenpage129, apt+dpkg are pretty much parts of the core [18:48] stevenpage129: On what platform? [18:48] Im a sloppy users [18:48] !alis | TuxRescue [18:48] TuxRescue: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [18:49] that is quite useless as answer [18:49] so any debian/ubuntu chan should do [18:49] jhutchins: 12.04 [18:49] no [18:49] you did not read my sentence properly then [18:49] !attitude | TuxRescue how about this one. [18:49] TuxRescue how about this one.: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [18:49] lol [18:49] stevenpage129: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? [18:49] !attitude === shane is now known as Guest4367 [18:49] well, the issue seems that it would be simple to fix, but it has eluded me so far [18:49] apt-get fails to create any uses [18:49] only because i am not happy with your answer i have attitude problems? [18:49] are you serious? [18:49] users* [18:50] TuxRescue, Your question is not one of ubuntu support. [18:50] man apt-get is good too [18:50] one seconds, I have a question posted to ask ubuntu, and ill get the link fo ryou [18:50] who is in charge here for stopping trolls? [18:50] stevenpage129: Please summarize it here. [18:50] dont answer then. a bad answer is a useless answer [18:50] TuxRescue, I'm a regular helper here, hardly a troll, read the link abd the channels policy period. [18:50] you are what? [18:51] stevenpage129: Generally apt-get should not create users. [18:51] jhutchins: simply put, when i install any package that requires the installation script to create a new user, it fails [18:51] now who is the one with attitude problems [18:51] i am curious [18:51] stevenpage129: Ah! A well stated problem. [18:51] for example, when installing varnish, i get the error "invalid user: varnish", or varnishlog [18:51] but /etc/passwd is not chattr +i [18:51] jhutchins, a few postinst scripts do create users [18:52] stevenpage129: Can you give us the error message, or approximate it? [18:52] like varnish.... [18:52] Setting up varnish (3.0.2-1ubuntu0.1) ... [18:52] install: invalid user `varnish' [18:52] stevenpage129: I mean what apt-get says? [18:52] dpkg: error processing varnish (--configure): [18:52] How can I enable SSD Trim support if I've installed Ubuntu on an encypted partition? [18:52] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [18:52] anyone here running ubuntu on macbook6.2 ? [18:52] stevenpage129: Excellent, thank you. [18:53] at first I figured it was an issue with a particular packages installation script, but it appears when trying to install any package that requires a user [18:53] stevenpage129: /etc/passwd should be owned and writable by root, world readable. Is it? [18:53] stevenpage129, apt-get does not make users. [18:54] mind you, if i create the users manually, and run apt-get install -f , the installation completes with success [18:54] stevenpage129: So you can create users as root (or with sudo), and of course you're running apt-get/dpkg as root or with sudo, right? [18:54] right [18:55] stevenpage129, In ubuntu with a desktop? [18:55] stevenpage129: That's very odd behavior, it would suggest that something is broken with dpkg. [18:55] sevrer [18:55] server edition, LTS [18:55] cool [18:55] stevenpage129: What about dpkg-configure (or recnfigure)? [18:56] gilligan_: imagining for a moment that the answer is yes, what would your actual question be? [18:57] CodePulsar, trim is not just a package, but a set of config mods [18:57] and a cron if you like [18:57] hello guys [18:57] guys, I can for my connection through a vpn? I mean... if the vpn is down there is no internet... right now it starts to use the direct link to access everything... [18:57] like I said, if i user "useradd" and create the users and groups manually, and use "apt-get install -f", it completes with success. as part of the install script, i'm fairly certain apt-get calls dpkg --configure (dpkg: error processing varnish (--configure)) [18:57] wilee-nilee: any tutorial, wiki, blog I can look at to enable TRIM for encypted partitions? [18:57] *encrypted [18:57] my system hangs on grub screen. I am using 14.04 [18:57] and i can still install and install other packages just fine... [18:57] daftykins, well turns outs its not as much an easy ride with linux on macbook air as i thought.. right now i am still trying out how to even control display brightness [18:57] grub version https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.02~beta2-9 [18:58] any ideas what to do next ? [18:58] CodePulsar, Sure I was looking for the one I used, https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd [18:58] daftykins, also there is a bug with suspend/resume where the sata controller goes nuts and i only find rather vague descriptions how to work around this [18:59] daftykins, like this https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62351 [18:59] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 62351 in Serial ATA "Marvell PCIe SSD controller 0x9183 suspend/resume problem" [Normal,New] [18:59] CodePulsar, Not sure on encrypted is all. [18:59] 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1983 Jun 3 20:11 /etc/passwd [18:59] There is special config needed when using encypted partition [18:59] 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1268 Jun 3 20:09 /etc/group [18:59] is there any linux audioplayer that can read tag embedded covers? [18:59] wilee-nilee: the config is different when using encryption [18:59] pratz, Just hangs, but will still boot if you choose the OS? [19:00] hello, my backuprogram in ubuntu is giving an error: no connection to backend, does anyone know how to solve this issue? [19:00] i heard someone mention the resume/suspend problem... [19:00] just now [19:00] *saw not heard of course [19:00] CodePulsar, Yes, I assumed that was the case, encryption is a good way to loose all the data, we see people here everyday in that circumstance. [19:01] wilee-nilee, even the keyboard is hanged [19:01] and if there was something wrong with the package manager, it seems to be confined to creating and removing system users... because I can still install any package without this requirement as needed, and updates still work as expected [19:02] stevenpage129: It really sounds like a permissions problem to me. [19:02] pratz, So if you get to grub it does not automatically boot after the count down? Real exacting info is important here. [19:02] me too, but i simply cannot figure out where [19:02] hmm, maybe i should try again, but running strace on apt-get [19:03] stevenpage129: What if you become root before you run apt-get? [19:03] wilee-nilee, no it does not automatically boots :( [19:03] gilligan_: oh right, things far beyond that i am familiar with then... you did use the mac ISOs to install from i take it? [19:04] jhutchins: sounds like a permissions problem for the dpkg app [19:04] is there a similar free tool for linux like this ? http://www.5pmweb.com/images/timeline_feature.gif [19:04] can anyone recommend a better irc client than xchat for the unity desktop?

Have you modified grub, and is this a new install and has it always bee this way? multiple questions here. [19:05] been* [19:05] thx [19:06] hm [19:06] wilee-nilee, its a desktop. have tried with other keyboards (they hang too). I have not modified grub. I had installed the system a week back [19:06] any ideas how to check my .mp3-file integrity? [19:06] switching to root, removing the package in question, along with the required users from passwd and group, and trying the installation again, resulted in the same issue [19:07] Flolila: re-rip from CD :) [19:07] pratz, Was it ever working correctly? [19:07] too much work :/ [19:07] but the problem is my dover.jpg is embedded in the files [19:08] now linux seems to have problems reading it [19:10] Empathy is better but I might use the firefox add-on === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:11] !info mp3val | Flolila [19:11] Flolila: mp3val (source: mp3val): program for MPEG audio stream validation.

[19:14] Hi, I'm having a problem with DNS resolution. For some reason, I cannot ping http://google.com, and ping gives me "destination host unreachable". I do host http://google.com, and it says it's not found 3(NXDOMAIN). However, pinging google.com (without the http://) works fine, and host google.com shows all of the IPs. What could be going on here? [19:15] ping should always go to a raw host, without http:// [19:15] http:// is a protocol and not part of DNS? [19:15] yetanotherx_: http is a protocol, not a domain/hostname, so its ok [19:15] stevenpage129: I did find where someone had the same problem installing zentyl on 10.04 here https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=8251.0 and the fix there required a patch on the zentyl side [19:15] exactly [19:15] Okay. I can't access http://google.com either though [19:16] so, is it possible it's a bug in the app? [19:16] i thought maybe the same thing, during the installation of another package (Mon). now im trying varnish, and it appears to be doing the same thing [19:16] and they are fairly reputable [19:16] but [19:17] ill have to try something else that requires the installer script to create a user and see how that turns out [19:17] yetanotherx_, telnet google.com 80 [19:17] damn ... looks like you'll have to do the initial install, add the required users, then reinstall, on anything new until you get it resolved [19:17] if that works, your browser is screwed [19:17] either that or try to reinstall dpkg [19:18] SheerLucidity614: never though about that. ill try another package, and if it is varnish, ill appeal to them. if it doesn't work, ill have to try and reinstall dpkg [19:18] hello, I am getting 2 "experienced an internal error" during login, I checked in /var/crash and found its because if virtualbox and mousepad (my default text editor) that I installed, so I removed virtualbox but still getting the same thing, its 14.04 === user1 is now known as Voyage [19:19] I'll give you fair warning though, Steve, whenever I've had to go to the "reinstall dpkg" route, I've ended up reinstalling the whole os [19:19] unfortunately, this is a production system [19:19] any help please? [19:19] so id be better just implementing this workaround each time ^)^ [19:19] is there a similar free tool for linux like this ? http://www.5pmweb.com/images/timeline_feature.gif [19:19] yikes, well, good luck! [19:19] exit [19:20] stevenpage129: in the question it says you manually added the users, how did you do it? the varnish postinst just uses adduser if getent passwd varnish returns nonzero exit [19:21] trism: i just used useradd -r varnish; useradd -r varnishlog, and then apt-get install -f. afterwards, installation finished with success, and varnish is working [19:21] Voyage, theres Redmine I think if you need project management software. [19:23] ubuntubox, k [19:25] hola cree [19:25] Voyage, the answer probably depends on what and how you use that software [19:26] I've been using GanttProject for fancy graphis similar to that [19:26] For the software projects management I use redmine - but there I'm not interested in times at all, but more its integrated bug tracker [19:27] though it supports assignements, time spent on stuff etc [19:27] planetmaker, project planning [19:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software has an overview over more software... not sure how helpful it is [19:29] hello, I am getting 2 "experienced an internal error" during login, I checked in /var/crash and found its because if virtualbox and mousepad (my default text editor) that I installed, so I removed virtualbox but still getting the same thing, its 14.04 [19:30] ubuntubox, care to pastebin that error log? [19:30] stevenpage129: did you test that adduser works? [19:31] phunyguy, looks like I don't have read access to that file... [19:31] jkñ [19:32] trism: yes, i just created a test user with adduser, and all seems well [19:32] ubuntubox, then how did you find the errors? === qstrahl` is now known as qstrahl [19:32] phunyguy, because it is named virtualbox crash [19:33] ubuntubox, so are you not able to log in at all? [19:33] ubuntubox: use sudo to read it [19:34] phunyguy, I am able to login, and everything just everytime I log in it is showing a popup window with "experienced an internal error" [19:34] e^, ubuntubox, also those crash files may not eb related to the failing login [19:34] ubuntubox, can you take a screenshot of the error? [19:34] OH you are talking about apport! [19:35] phunyguy, yes apport [19:35] if you actually click through those, they will go away. [19:35] stevenpage129: if you run getent passwd on some nonexistent user, do you get a nonzero exit status? [19:35] i get a com-gtk-root (something like that) almost every time i login [19:35] phunyguy, but I am getting it with everytime login [19:36] ubuntubox, and if you never want to see them again, change the /etc/default/apport file to contain "enabled=0" without the quotes. [19:36] then service apport restart [19:37] ubuntubox, (use sudo of course!) [19:37] ubuntubox, and when I said "click through those" I mean don't just close them... actually follow the prompts. [19:38] the Ubuntu dev team wants to know about bugs, and apport wants you to file them. [19:38] True. ;) [19:38] lam [19:38] oops [19:39] if i run "getent passwd" with my regular user, the passwd file is returned. if i change user to varnish, or any user system user, i get the same. from what I can tell, there is no error status [19:39] planetmaker, I like that, good drummer, the obligatory triplets. ;) [19:39] stevenpage129: no i mean: getent passwd username; replacing username with a user that doesn't exist on your system [19:39] ok one sec [19:39] oops wrong channe; [19:40] e^, this crash file is full of binary data... [19:40] stevenpage129: then: echo $?; [19:40] ubuntubox, yes ignore those. [19:40] ubuntubox, file the bugs, or disable apport. [19:40] phunyguy, ok [19:40] I can access Windows drive using Nautilus, but via shell the directory is empty. And Eclipse says workspace (location on Windows drive) is invalid or read only. [19:40] How do I fix this? [19:41] stevenpage129: the postinst is pretty simple so if adduser works, my only guess is you are getting something weird from getent, though if getent passwd alone works then I kind of doubt that too, so I'm pretty stumped [19:41] planetmaker, Sorry about that. [19:41] skinux, which directory is empty? [19:41] if i run "getent passwd someuserthatdoesntexist" it just returns nothing [19:41] whoever said it was right, encryption may be secure but it is a great way to lose data [19:42] stevenpage129: yeah the output doesn't matter only the exit status, so: echo $?; after you run that [19:42] skinux, gvfs is a funny program which is how nautilus mounts devices... it uses its own interface as well as other gnome apps to access the drive directly via gvfs. any non gvfs aware apps can find the data under /run/user/$uid/gvfs [19:42] Directory /media//os [19:43] skinux, oh wait, which ubuntu version? [19:43] 14.04 [19:43] phunyguy, hey BTW why "virualbox" is still is my /etc/init.d/ /etc/default folders after its removed [19:43] getent passwd blah [19:43] 0 [19:43] skinux, yeah they moved that to /run/user/ a few releases back. [19:43] stevenpage129: ahh there is your problem right there [19:43] stevenpage129: it should be nonzero [19:43] stevenpage129: weird [19:43] ubuntubox, because you didn't remove with the purge option [19:43] hmm [19:43] hi peers! [19:43] ubuntubox, when you remove as just "remove" it keeps configs. [19:44] Well /run/ doesn't exist. Nautilus shows it as mounted to /media//os [19:44] phunyguy, so I have to install it again and purge it? [19:44] bash:/sudo su hi_peers [19:44] skinux, /run/usr/ [19:44] password: [19:44] ubuntubox, you should just be able to purge it [19:45] mitt? [19:45] bash:/exit [19:45] yes [19:45] & [19:45] ? [19:45] what are you doing? [19:45] me? [19:45] yes... [19:45] I am like a terminal [19:45] hahahah [19:45] hello, my notebook is a week back from repair (Acer) sometimes the webcam works, sometimes not, after 1 minute the light goes off. Same problem on Ubuntu and Windows 8.1. Now after repair, the problem cames back... [19:45] That only has '1000' which only contains Linux stuff [19:45] if you reinstalled your system with a slightly smaller partition size (like 2-3 GB), and you open gnome disk utility, and the partition containing your system is shown on the same side, say, the left of your disk block, does that necessarily mean that mostly the same areas of your HDD has been used for both your last and present system? [19:45] please stop doing that [19:45] me stop? [19:45] I thought it was an Ubuntu bug [19:45] phunyguy, ok [19:45] mist, please leave this channel for support only [19:45] as I saw reported [19:45] mitt* [19:45] sorry mist [19:45] okay, sorry [19:46] :) [19:46] skinux, that is the directory you are looking for [19:46] skinux, is there gvfs under that? [19:46] is this a [19:46] trism: it seems that i get the same from getent passwd blah; echo $?; on another system, but one that does not have this issue [19:46] n Ubuntu problem ? [19:46] so i is even further stumped :P [19:46] streulma: Hmm [19:46] Yes, it's empty [19:46] streulma, no it is a hardware issue [19:47] streulma, if it does it in both OSs, then it is not OS related [19:47] skinux, hrmm... is it open in nautilus or unmounted? [19:47] stevenpage129: yeah that is weird, you should be getting 2 [19:47] phunyguy: is there no warranty status that after 3 repairs you get a new notebook ? [19:47] Nautilus shows Windows mounted at /media//os, and I can see Windows files via Nautilus, just not via shell. [19:47] streulma, that is beyond the scope of this channel [19:48] oh... [19:48] skinux: you have ASUS? :) [19:48] do you have that specified in /etc/fstab? [19:48] I'm not sure....I have a DELL Inspiron [19:48] skinux, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab? [19:49] fstab doesn't have any info for Windows mount [19:49] hmm [19:49] trism: so my issue is that the postinst script is having issues checking whether a user exists or not? atleast this is somewhere to work from / something to go on [19:49] ok so can you get to /media//os ? [19:49] Yes, but it's empty [19:49] streulma: I agree with phunyguy;if it happens in both os'es the problem is probably in the webcam itself [19:50] skinux, did you install ntfs-3g? [19:50] It's empty via shell, I can see the files via Nautilus [19:50] stevenpage129: yes it has: if ! getent passwd varnish; then adduser varnish; fi basically [19:50] sydney ok that is clear, but he is JUST repaired ! [19:50] skinux, I am not entirely sure how that is possible. [19:50] Yeah...my either! Which is why I'm confused [19:51] ls -al /media//os produces no output? [19:51] just . and ..? [19:51] skinux, what does "mount" tell you [19:51] * sydney shrugs,because he doenst know how what else to say to streulma. [19:51] OerHeks, it may not show up there with fuse mounted stuff [19:51] Hey guys [19:51] mount says it can't find /media//os in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [19:52] streulma, it's not unheard that sometimes hardware shops simply "repair" it by re-packing it ;) [19:52] phunyguy, you are correct [19:52] skinux, JUST the mount command [19:52] no arguments [19:52] or just exchanging stuff unrelated to the complaint [19:52] wheresmypaaants: Hi!!(also get some pants on) ;) :P [19:52] Having an ubuntu issue. When it turns on now, it stays at boot screen. If i hit altF1 fast enough, it shows two lines. Disabling IRQ, then something dispatcher and an edit command [19:52] right now im talking in recovery mode [19:52] but i'd love to get to the bottom of this :D [19:53] wheresmypaaants, "recovery mode"? [19:53] wheresmypaaants, how are you chatting from that? [19:53] phunyguy: Boot into recovery mode VIA grub, then i hit resume [19:53] it loads in low graphics res, and i can open browsers and what not [19:53] wheresmypaaants, oh... do you get any errors at all? What about dmesg? These things will help troubleshoot [19:53] Output of mount: http://pastebin.com/pgHwAaZg [19:53] hi everyone i have a huge problem, my unity stopped loading all I have is a blank desktop with a mouse, and I can right click it and make folders etc. what can I do to fix it? thanks in advance [19:53] trism: sorry, my fault again. [19:53] steven@rapidwebs:~$ getent passwd blah; echo $?; [19:53] 2 [19:54] trism: that seems right? [19:54] phunyguy: No errors, just those two lines. Any way to fetch the latest BOOT log? [19:54] stevenpage129: yeah that's right [19:54] skinux, /dev/sda5 on /media/skinux/OS type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) <---- that is the one we are concerned with [19:54] and apparently it does show there! [19:54] Not before I check what that command does....one second [19:55] skinux, are you typing OS at the command line, or os? [19:55] skinux, that's not a command [19:55] Ohh, okay.

[19:57] skinux, good luck to you sir, and enjoy your found data [19:57] also please keep your language clean, skinux [19:57] :) [19:57] nectarys: I'm not sure, but you can make the mounted USB a shared folder and use it in virtualbox. [19:58] I didn't use any profanity. [19:58] skinux, acronyms are still curses [19:58] e^, i've tried that. but it wouldn't work [19:58] Ohh.....you guys are no fun :P [19:58] skinux, "ffs" [19:58] skinux, just be careful :) [19:58] Sure...take all the fun out of it. lol [19:58] nectarys: no way, it should. did you install the guest additions? [19:58] gotta run, see you all later [19:59] Anyone else wanna help with my boot issue? [19:59] Don't even know what that means [19:59] I dont know what that stands for,nor do i want to know. ;) [19:59] So effectively you made look at a curse word thanks [19:59] nectarys, You have to add it in the preferences in the start gui [19:59] Drewcifer, relax. [19:59] wilee-nilee, Config > USB > ? [19:59] I am, just showing you hole in your logic [20:00] e^, what guest additions ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [20:00] nectarys: you click on devices > insert guest additions (in the main menu, global menu) [20:00] nectarys, I forget exactly where, but it would be in the gui that you start the vbox with, I don;t have it installed at the moment. [20:01] now I really have to go. [20:01] Lets all say goodbye to phunyguy. :D [20:01] Goodbye :D [20:01] trism: where are you reading the varnish postinst scrpt from [20:01] by phunyguy [20:01] bye [20:02] trism: if i could go thru it and check each command for a permissions error this might help me track down the issue [20:02] And thanks for !

[20:41] how to find and copy all images? [20:41] Anyone mind chatting w/ me about fstab configs? [20:42] what does the Ubuntu Software updater update that the Sudo apt-get upgrade command does not? [20:42] @amflir you can do a search using find ~ \*.ext and replacing ext with the filetype extension [20:43] @neldogz I believe it is the same. using apt-get upgrade and updating through the ubuntu software center should essentially do the same thing given your subscribed PPAs [20:44] Kuperstein, there are a lot of image types, any simple way to find file type, by reading header, etc? [20:44] Kuperstein, I performed a test today. I fully updated using the upgrade command.. but afterwards the Ubuntu Software updater still had updates to apply [20:44] does anyone have experience with BOOTICE? === elementary-site4 is now known as awssswa [20:45] @amflir I'm not sure, you can take a look at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/foremost.1.html [20:46] @neldogs you may need to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to apply those changes. [20:46] thanks Kuperstein [20:46] amflir: file /path/to/file [20:48] i wrote a shell script and the script have multiple runs multiple php script with arguments, but when i run this script from cron it doesnt run as aspected [20:48] on further findings i found that php script didnt get the arguments [20:48] ysh: Please don't cross post questions. Wait for a bit to see if you get an answer in the first channel before asking in another. [20:49] @amflir if you want to copy all images to a certain directory, you can write up a short bash script that does "sudo cp ~\*.ext (target destination here) for each extension type.

[20:58] I'm having an issue with my mouse acting very strange and dissapearing on 14.04... [20:58] Martijn-NL: i'd run Ubuntu + OpenBox personally [20:58] And when I click tabs in Chrome for instance, it sometimes just closes them... [20:58] ActionParsnip: At the Raspberry Pi? [20:59] Martijn-NL It's okay. There are definitely better debian based distros than ubuntu for the Pi [20:59] Kuperstein: I know, but I like Ubuntu the most. [20:59] Martijn-NL: sure. Comes in at 300Mb running here.... [20:59] If I have a Windows 8.1 machine and I install Ubuntu to the whole HD, will Ubuntu sucessfully install and boot up the Ubuntu grub?

I read somewhere that the first is just an alias for the second. [21:25] muru: they are different repos [21:25] Muru: ping both and you'll see if it is the same, won't you? [21:26] Too obvious? [21:26] ActionParsnip: it is a ATI Rage XL Video Controller [21:26] Tom322: try the boot option: radeon.nomodeset=1 [21:27] ActionParsnip: where do i type that [21:27] !bootoption [21:27] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset.

[21:34] Jordan_U: is bezel compensation possible [21:34] Tom322: guess what that icon means....? [21:35] Tom322: keyboard equals man [21:35] Tom322: pressing something on the keyboard brings up the menu to allow human interaction. [21:37] Jordan_U: ActionParsnip I hit the spacebar and got the menu back...I selected Install Xubuntu... [21:37] ActionParsnip: Jordan_U it seems to be stuck [21:37] dey: Do you want bezel compensation for a specific application (like a fullscreen game), or for everything? [21:38] Tom322: Did you press a key within 5 seconds, or only after 5 seconds? [21:39] Jordan_U: before 5 secs [21:39] Jordan_U: right now im using a gtx660. im using 2 displays with i3. between the bezels is a virtual gap representing the real gap. The displays act as seperate displays, but if i put any application across all of them, the stuff that would be where the bezels are is simply not visible [21:40] Tom322: Ahh, I see, you are at the menu now. You need to actually add the "radeon.nomodeset=1" kernel parameter that ActionParsnip was talking about before booting. [21:40] Jordan_U: i want to know if the same is possible with the intel hd [21:41] Jordan_U: to give you an idea how its done via nvidia. you simply draw the two displays away from each other to create a gap as big as you need it to be between them http://www.ismprofessional.net/pascucci/wp-content/uploads/nvidia-settings.png [21:41] Jordan_U: I'm at the select the language screen [21:42] Jordan_U: how do i add this radeon.nomodeset=1" kernel parameter? [21:43] ActionParsnip: I'm at the language screen [21:45] !nomodeset | Tom322 [21:45] Tom322: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:47] I have a hardware question IF i look at the processorspeed at http://ark.intel.com/products/76753/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2810-1M-Cache-2_00-GHz does it mean that each core has 2 GHz or both together? I heard somethink like that you have to multiply the GHz by the amount of cores. [21:48] Guido1: cpus do not HAVE frequencies. They work WITH a given frequency. And yes, all cores work WITH that frequency [21:49] or AT.... not sure which one is appropriate　:P [21:49] hai... how do i get my bind9 dns server to stop reaching out to the internet to update itself? [21:50] ubottu: where do i type it in? [21:50] Tom322: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:50] id just like for it to be a local domain name resolver :D [21:50] Guido1: yes you have to multiply the GHz by the amount of cores [21:50] dey: but is the assumption right that a dual core 2 GHz is faster than a mono or is the diference only the stability ore something else? [21:50] Mido_KSA: thanks [21:51] ikonia: So If I were running an apt-cacher, I would have to add both, right? === akim__ is now known as akim [21:51] ActionParsnip: I know they resolve to different places, I figured one could be a mirror of the other. [21:52] Guido1: well you COULD say that two cores @2ghz are combined twice as powerful as a cpu using just one of those cores. THis isnt correct in reality, due to cores sharing resources, programs being unable to multithread perfectly etc... [21:52] ActionParsnip: I'm at the main install screen where do i type in the radeon.nomodeset=1" kernel parameter [21:54] dey: okee, but it sounds that a dual core 2 GHz is still much better than a single 1,7 GHz and it's already worth considering buying [21:55] dey: It looks like xrandr allows you to create an arbitrarily large "screen" (the total size in pixels of the virtual single display that each output only displays part of), and also allows you to set an arbitrary position for outputs within this screen. Together, those to abilities should allow you to accomplish bezel compensation. [21:55] Guido1: ofc. a multicore cpu is better than a single core. Its like having multiple single core cpus! [21:55] dey: Do all your outputs have the same DPI? [21:55] Jordan_U: yes, they are all the same [21:56] dey: is there any program like hotspot shield for ubuntu? [21:56] I'm considering installing Ubuntu on my workstation for the unix tooling. I haven't used it in a while. Is it considered more or less pretty stable (comparable to OS/X) for daily work use? [21:56] guys, what is the difference between the nvidia legacy and binary driver? [21:56] Jordan_U: i wonder if nvidia-settings just works as a xrandr gui :/ [21:57] dey: thanks. My laptop is getting a bit slow and now I'm looking for newer one which should be faster and more stable. Are there other things to consider by buying a laptop vor (x)ubuntu? (By my laptop I can't use an external VGA screen with linux) [21:57] Guido1: well, i dont think you will even find a solo core notebook anymore. Even the most basic netbooks have multicore cpus iirc. [21:58] Mido_KSA: was your message really meant for me? [21:58] dey: I don't have a second monitor to test with at the moment, so I don't know if the standard GUI display settings in gnome-control-center allow you to configure this, but if you were to use the xrandr command you'd be looking at the options --fb widthxheight and --pos xxy . [21:58] I have a messs on my hands, We had a Ubuntu server running 12.04 who was reporting an initramfs error executing ap-get. One the people said see had corrected the issues and we were putting in a new server in order to back uo it up. Before that could happen one of the techs at the colo hit the power siwtch accidentlly and the box dropped into a initramsfs prompt. I had them install slaxx on a USB stick and can boot from that. I cloned [21:58] the main drive and ten put the second drive back in. (There was no data on the second drive) but it was part of a volume group. No matter what I try I get an error about one of the pv volumes missing with ` Couldn't find device with uuid bcG7QT-ShDH-l2qA-pbpw-xAgg-HB9o-VnQbYp.' showing on pvscan and other commands. [21:58] Jordan_U: np. if its possible with xrandr im going to figure it out :) [21:59] dey: the one i use right now is single ... I also mean if there are cores or other hardware which is known to cause trouble with linux. maybe page where i can check if the components will work [21:59] dey: yes . i want to know if there is a program for ubuntu like hotspot shield [22:00] can someone help i have mono sound on ubuntu studio [22:00] I have scoured the net looking for a solution and nothing tried seems to bring back the PV volume, At this point I am running out of ideas and turning to the channel [22:00] Guido1: cpus wont cause a problem. CHeck which components the mainboard uses. And if they are compatible with linux. (soundcard, network, etc.) [22:00] I'm trying to selected any option from the install menu on XUbuntus main install screen, it keeps freezing... [22:00] Looking at the trim support in 14.04, since it says that it's only enabled for intel and samsung does that mean that I can manually enable it for my non-intel/samsung SSD if I check the manufacture says that trim is supported, or does it mean that it's only enabled on those because other venors have buggy trim support (even though they say the SSD supports [22:00] it) [22:00] Mido_KSA: i wouldnt know, i dont even know hotspotshield === toby_ is now known as Guest63405 [22:01] i have mono sound want stereo [22:01] dey: oh ok. thanks [22:01] Consistent lag spikes after 14.04 upgrade (occurs every ~2 mins and lasts ~10 sec) which I believe to be because of Wifi driver issues. I'm using "Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter", any package/driver I can download to hopefully fix the issue? The problem did not exist in 13.10. [22:01] dey: okee. is there a side where i can se which components of the motherbord are (not)compatieble or do i have to search each part with google? [22:02] i had stereo before [22:02] turned of stereo [22:02] automaticly [22:03] can someone help with mono problem [22:03] any one knows a vpn program for secure surf ? [22:03] Hello. I have an encrypted home drive; nightmare! So, if I just copy (or back up using tar, etc.) the files from my home folder to an external drive, they will be copied without being encrypted, correct? [22:04] i have mono sound want stereo === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [22:04] Guido1: i usually use google. But most mainboards use the same stuff anyways. Intel network, ALC soundcards etc. are usually never a problem. Usually only the expensive 'gamer'stuff causes problems. Special soundcard chips, those KILLER NICs dont work flawlessly either iirc. etc. Stick to the cheaper mainboards and you usually dont have a problem. But i never bought a notebook, i dont know how easy it is to find out which chipsets they used [22:04] This is from my computer with the encrypted file mounted during a normal boot....... [22:04] bitcoinassassin: Correct. [22:04] Hey Jordan_U [22:04] Thanks. [22:05] god damm can someone help me [22:05] dont have stereo sound [22:05] Guido1: but im pretty sure that if you check the common notebooks that someone already wrote a bit about the linux compatibility somewhere [22:05] only mono [22:06] i only know from my laptop that the VGA is not working with linux. The graficcard is something from NVIDA [22:06] my update manager says cannot trust sources [22:06] just idiots here gonna search google [22:06] meed_geek, my journalism friends say cannot trust sources..... [22:07] er, meek === Granis` is now known as Granis [22:07] Guido1: did you install the official nvidia drivers? Maybe your card is to old, but nvidia cards usually work well :/ [22:07] bitcoinassassin, it said so really and would not update anymore [22:07] how can i find out how many blobs are on my system? [22:07] Guido1: i have HP Pavilion g6 laptop and it is compatible with linux. i think you have to try searching about HP laptops. [22:08] kingbeowolf: what's a blob [22:08] :) [22:08] bitcoinassassin, binary blob is usually a bit of code that makes some hardware work [22:09] dey: i think so. it's an extra driver [22:09] hey guys, I am trying to understand repos a bit better. I am working on testing something with a group of people. one person synced a file to a repo, but the repo is not pingable or browseable so I think it won't work at all until he does something on his end...correct? [22:09] kingbeowolf: ahh.... thanks. [22:09] i.e. not open source [22:09] oh............ like that [22:09] stupid question but I am second guessing myself here. [22:10] XD [22:10] there are not stupid questions; only stupid people (not you sudormrf); I'm just saying . . . [22:10] Mido_KSA: In the moment I'm looking at HP and Lenovo and try to find somthing with a QWERTY keyboard below 500, maximal 700€ (I'm a student) [22:10] sudormrf, using a repository doesn't mean that the repository is public. [22:10] bitcoinassassin, lel [22:10] guys i connect a hardrive of a laptop to get some information since the laptop died that had windows now i cant umount /media/Drivename any suggestions? [22:10] planetmaker, hmm. ok, well I can't ping it, nslookup fails for it...not sure how I can access it in that case [22:10] I'd be frightened if every repo on my local machine would be public ;) [22:11] anyone know how to figure out how many binary blobs are in their kernel?] [22:11] planetmaker, any idea how I can sort of force a connection? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:11] kingbeowolf: "grep firmware /var/log/dmesg | wc -l" [22:12] sudormrf, no. Especially as 'repo' is as general as 'collection of files with version information attached' [22:12] planetmaker, that's what I thought [22:12] Guido1: the one i mentioned is about 600 USD . it is core i7 third generation and 8 GB Ram with AMD radeon 7500 VGA + intel HD VGA ( give it a try and you will like it) [22:12] thus it highly depends on what vcs you actually use. [22:12] TJ-, printed 0 [22:13] Mido_KSA: okee, I will have a look at it thanks [22:13] I am having troubles using a mobile scanner Brother DSmobile 620 in a linux environment: http://privatepaste.com/cc1fac2920 [22:13] dammit. what other alternative to OpenSSL!?? [22:13] switched from windows to ubuntu and i was like wth . [22:13] planetmaker, not sure what he is using on his end [22:13] TJ-, dmesg doesn't exist in that folder i guess [22:13] lix, libressl? but it isn't available yet [22:14] sudormf: tnx. - nerver heard. [22:14] Jordan_U: I typed in radeon.nomodeset=1 at the end of the boot options line.... [22:14] sudormrf, and without the right client you cannot access it anyway. Unless he configured properly and started a web interface for it [22:14] Anyone knows how to force umount a device under /media ? [22:14] Jordan_U: it freezes... [22:14] planetmaker, this is supposed to be an ubuntu repo setup for grabbing files to test their system. I just figured if I can't ping it and can't get an nslookup it wouldn't work until something was fixed on his end. [22:15] he said dns wasn't setup for it yet [22:15] cristobal: identify why the device is busy first; some process has a file or directory open on it most likely [22:15] cristobal, what have you tried [22:15] and what type of device is this? [22:15] sudormrf: FYI: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q2/466 [22:15] i connected a hdd from a dead laptop with windows mounted to try to see it with ntfs config but now i cant unmount so everytime i boot the laptop try to look for it :( [22:16] under /mnt/devicename [22:16] m) [22:16] lix, ? [22:16] cristobal, check fstab? [22:16] cristobal: how was the file-system mounted (what tool) and how are you trying to umount it, and what error do you get? [22:17] hi === max__ is now known as Guest74667 [22:17] sudo umount /media/ACER => error said not mounted but when i go manually to the folder i see the ACER [22:17] can anyone help...I typed in radeon.nomodeset=1 at the end of the boot options line....it freezes... [22:18] ubuntu = (fail) [22:18] cristobal: Then it isn't mounted ... "/media/ACER" is the *mount point* only ... if a file-system were mounted at that point you'd see files below "/media/ACER/" [22:19] abc: Do you have a support question? If not then this is the wrong channel. [22:19] yes no files on the folder but cant get the system not to try to mounted on system boot :( [22:19] cristobal, unless you added a line to /etc/fstab your linux install will not try to mount that drive ... if it's unplugged.... right? [22:19] Has anyone else used any moden/recently released paper scanner hardware components with a linux environment? [22:20] cristobal: Then you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for it ... try "cat /etc/fstab" and inspect the file-system table [22:20] aural: Please post your actual question. [22:20] Say, does anyone here know that the United States has the second largest number of Spanish speakers in the world, after Mexico? More than Spain? And yet the default distro does not come configured with ability to write Spanish Characters, nor any clear way to get it set up? [22:20] Jordan_U: I am having troubles using a mobile scanner Brother DSmobile 620 in a linux environment: http://privatepaste.com/cc1fac2920 [22:20] I posted that a few minutes ago [22:21] okay found it #Entry for /dev/sdb2 UUID=18AEEED8AEEEAD86 /media/ACER [22:21] so gedit? [22:21] Jordan_U: Besides, that quetion I just asked about if anyone else has used any is also my actual question [22:21] cristobal, check /etc/fstab [22:21] cristobal, comment out that line [22:21] cristobal, then do sudo umount /media/ACER [22:21] because, if anyone has success with a different hardware component than the one I have, I can return this one and get the other one [22:21] cristobal: is the first character a "#" ? if so, that means the line has been commented out [22:22] TJ-, I am thinking that may be a note above the actual mount line [22:22] sudormrf: I think you may be correct :) [22:22] cristobal, do this 'cat /etc/fstab > pastebinit' [22:22] cristobal, without the quotes [22:23] aural, this isn't going to be any help, but my brother dcp-j140w that is supposed to work with Ubuntu ... the printer is fine; the scanner, no... even with the brother/linux software blobs... as people like to say; this *might* be because I have attempting this wirelessly; I have ordered a USB cable and hope to have more luck when that arrives [22:23] ok [22:23] xeno_: Please keep discussion to actual support questions. If nobody currently awake knows the answer, nobody will answer. You can try Ubuntu Forums, or http://askubuntu.com also, or if you speak spanish well enough to you can ask your question in spanish in #ubuntu-es (they'll be able to understand your question without a '¿' in your message). [22:23] sudormrf: or just "pastebinit /etc/fstab" :p [22:23] Thank you Jordan. [22:23] bitcoinassassin: mm, I've observed the scame with all-in-one devices which printer functionality works, but scanner functionality does not. [22:24] sudormrf: http://pastebin.com/WYvXWmfW [22:24] s/scame/same/ [22:24] aural, is your device plugged or wireless [22:24] xeno_: You're welcome. [22:24] bitcoinassassin: usb cable/wired [22:24] as can be seen from output of `lsusb` [22:24] aural, yes, and there is even a separate brother download that supposedly will allow "one touch scanning" ... again... no luck [22:25] I think they need to call it insane [22:25] i am really going to make format and put windows back [22:25] i need help if someone wont help i will go back to my windows [22:25] yakiza, mazeltov [22:26] aural: I have 2 networked: A4 Samsung CLX-6220FX and A3 HP Officejet 7610 [22:26] what? [22:26] TJ- and these scanners work? [22:26] bitscoinassasin ? [22:26] yakiza: I hope you have a better experience with Windows then. [22:26] bitcoinassassin: Yes, that's why I responded [22:26] TJ-, ok, thanks. just checking. :-) happy and surprised [22:26] i cant even istall a program in ubuntu i dont even know when i install somethink where is going [22:27] in windows you just select where you want somethink to go here you doint on the terminal and you dont know [22:27] and if i want to unistall i cant cause i dont know how [22:27] !ubuntu [22:27] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[22:28] I installed pclinuxos as dual boot with ubuntu. After reboot I found that there is no entry for Ubuntu in grub ..... Then I use super grub disk to get back into Ubuntu ...I want replace grub legacy (installed by pclinuxos) with Grub2 and add entries for Ubuntu and pclinuxos .....what is the procedure [22:28] yakiza: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [22:28] fuck you jordan i am like 16 hours on my pc and try to install a program [22:29] wow so rude [22:29] what a lady XD [22:29] !virtualbox [22:29] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [22:29] cristobal, darn, I always ignore just before the fun begins [22:30] s [22:30] is anyone who can help me from skype (share screen) [22:30] PLEASE [22:30] I AM 16 HOURS to my pc [22:30] and i cant do a shit [22:30] ... [22:30] i turn from windows to ubuntu and now i am thinking go back to windows [22:30] is there any built in virtualbox type software in ubuntu? it used to come with virtualbox i think [22:31] yakiza: Again, please keep comments to productive support discussion. === Guest40535 is now known as dusf123 [22:32] dusf123, there's a virtualbox package. No not only like, but exactly virtualbox [22:32] yakiza: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement [22:32] yakiza: If you don't like using Ubuntu that is fine, if Windows is right for you then that's great. It's not OK to clutter the channel with ranting, and certainly not to direct abusive comments at users of this channel. [22:32] what is the command please to un-ignore someone in chat? I'm missing all the fun....... [22:33] i work on windows a lot of years i want to lern ubuntu but if i want just to install a simple program i dont know where this program is installed [22:33] planetmaker: i have searched ubuntu software centre for virtualbox but there are no hits [22:33] and i get all the time erors [22:33] yakiza: try the ubuntu software centre in the left hand dock [22:33] i see a BOO-PC in "Browse Network", it isn't any of my pc's, is there any way to find out what this pc is doing there in ubuntu or some package? i tried to port scan from 0 to 255 but it didn't show up. [22:33] yakiza: You can use "dpkg -l packagename" to find all of the files that a package installs, or "which command_name" to find where a specific command's binary is installed. [22:34] yakiza under settings printer ubuntu use something call cups the printer should be listed if not on the website of the printer manufacturer they should have a .deb file double click adn it should open the software store to install the program [22:34] hm, interesting it's indeed not listed for trusty, but earlier versions, dusf123 : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose [22:35] though... http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/misc/virtualbox [22:36] planetmaker: thanks [22:37] planetmaker: 4.2.8-dfsg-0ubuntu1 dropped the need for the -ose transitional packages [22:39] how can i get more info about a computer in the "Browse Network" ? [22:43] not sure this is the correct place for this, but given truecrypt's recent announcement(s) ... what are people using as an alternative? and... if it's off-topic, .. mea culpa [22:44] nothing till now but its belived that 7.1a is still save .. [22:44] yonrails [22:46] Say, why does this post say System -> Preferences -> Keyboard when my Unity config doesn't seem to sport such a sequence from the GUI? [22:46] orst3n, granted, I'm just looking forward......... [22:46] I see Systems Settings -> Keyboard, but nowhere to go to a preferences inbetween. [22:46] sooooooooo many conspiracy theorists out there.... [22:47] Am I not seeing some secondary entry point to "System"? [22:47] xeno_: could be an older version of ubuntu without Unity, or a different desktop environment entirely [22:47] bitcoinassassin: LUKS, which has IMHO always been a better alternative (Truecrypt has always had severe license issues among other problems). [22:47] Well, this is the canonical recommentation from what I can see. [22:47] all setting - details have default applications if thats what you look xeno [22:47] Is my experience old, or the instructional doc? [22:47] bitcoinassassin: Some people are picking it up and running with it as a new project, for example the GeekCrypt/FalseCrypt/CipherShed F/OSS project [22:48] I am on Unity with 14.04. [22:49] Jordan_U, Ok, thanks. TJ- as well. I used TrueCrypt partly because I could use it from Windows or Linux; maybe if I knew more I could access LUKS from Windows as well; I don't know. But, am learning. [22:50] bitcoinassassin: There's been a lot of discussion on the Cryptography mailing-list, and investigations on how we can merge it with dm_crypt/LUKS and others to provide a cross-platform, audited, F/OSS solution [22:51] but, yeah, it's licensing and other stuff seemed like a snafu to me....... and those appeals for money where they said "we might take the money and go on vacation" .... seemed a little... odd [22:51] bitcoinassassin: I've been rebuilding the source-code commit history of TrueCrypt since it was Encryption for the Masses in the late 90's. That will help us audit the code and make some decisions. [22:51] bitcoinassassin: It is possible to implement the interfaces and formats using brand new, un-encumbered code, with a clean license and audit trail [22:52] TJ-, thank you so much for that information. Now I feel REALLY dumb /// j/k... sort of... :-) [22:52] I am happy to learn and really appreciate all the help [22:53] bitcoinassassin: It's possible to use TrueCrypt volumes on Linux already as you know, but what we're investigating is eventually merging the on-disk formats and encryption suites [22:54] TJ- is there an irc channel or rss feed for what you are doing? er... and something not completely over my head? [22:55] bitcoinassassin: You can access LUKS volumes with FreeOTFE in Windows, but I wouldn't trust FreeOTFE until it has had a thorough audit, especially after (admittedly very old) things like this message: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-05/msg00082.html [22:55] good evening everyone. i am having some rather annoying problems with upstart. [22:55] i haven't tampered with it any way, no extra scripts of my own. it's unable to see any of the scripts being added by apt-get [22:55] even after initctl reload-configuration, nothing is updated [22:55] i'm currently on 14.04 amd64 [22:55] latest updates, etc. [22:55] any ideas? [22:55] grobe0ba you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [22:55] bitcoinassassin: not as yet, just mailing list and private emails [22:55] TJ-, ok, thanks. I'll check that link a gnu.org [22:56] i need help [22:56] haha I just read the first line of that post; classic......... [22:56] i need help anybody!!!! [22:57] "FreeOTFE has a function which allows reading sectors from a device without authentication" [22:57] bit [22:57] welch, yes you need. what kind are you seeking here? [22:57] I hate when my brain doesn't connect with my fingers [22:57] how to add ubuntu to your sessons [22:58] i take it your worthless bot has never heard of lag.... [22:58] grobe0ba: that was a helpful comment. [22:59] bit how do i add ubuntu to my sessions? [22:59] welch_, I'm sorry, I don't know/understand [22:59] which one? the part where it muted me because i have a horrible connection and lagged out? [22:59] 'cause so far i've seen nothing addressing my statements [23:00] cristobal, sorry I was AFK. put a # in front of line 10 of your pastebin. then do sudo umount /media/ACER and restart. see what happens [23:00] why the hell did ubuntu get rid of sys 5 style init? it at least bloody worked reliably [23:00] grobe0ba: and raging against the machine probably won't help. :-) [23:00] bitcoinassassin, fair enough [23:01] but seriously, upstart is killing me. i've made NO changes to it, and it can't be bothered to function reliably [23:01] grobe0ba: and if I knew, I'd help, honest. [23:01] when i log out and click my user, on the bottom it says sessions. how do i add ubuntu 14.04 to it? [23:01] thanks mate. appologies for raging at the bot [23:01] cristobal, no PMs please. keep support stuff in the main room [23:01] bit [23:02] bit i need your help [23:02] When I am on the gdm login screen, I have loud/normal audio.. when I login to my user, I have very low audio and I can't turn it up, it lists no devices in the configuration. [23:02] dont worry sudormrf already fixit i forgot toput sudo [23:02] commented on the fstab # and done [23:02] cristobal, nice [23:02] hi.. having a really, really hard time setting up a local DNS server. IS there anything that simplifies the process? [23:02] just for the record, I did that......... helped cristobal... just so people don't think I'm completely worthless ;-) [23:03] currently using bind9, but only one computer on the network sees it [23:03] hahhaa [23:03] :) [23:03] TheEmpath, welcome to the club. You should probably be asking in #ubuntu-server thought [23:03] thanks [23:03] bitcoinassassin [23:03] TheEmpath, you sure you updated everyone's DNS settings? [23:03] perhaps your DHCP server? [23:04] grobe0ba: your ? is way over my head but I have a rule against upgrading to new systems........ which probably makes me a luddite and whatever but there always seem to be problems that need to be fixed.... I'm sure you know to what I refer [23:04] yeah, sys v init has worked for decades [23:04] i want it back [23:04] none of this cannot find service crap [23:05] My software updater in 13.10 64bit, just went bananas. [23:05] bitcoin [23:05] ? [23:05] you rang? [23:05] when i log out and click my user, on the bottom it says sessions. how do i add ubuntu 14.04 to it? [23:05] !truecrypt [23:05] Truecrypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [23:05] nikolam you should upddate to 14.04 [23:05] It displays just window manager and one grey line [23:05] grobe0ba: Could you give an example command that fails but shouldn't?

[23:09] no that why i need help [23:10] welch_: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" will install all of the packages in a default Ubuntu installation. [23:10] welch_: and now we get to it..... lol [23:10] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7597998/ === jack is now known as Guest35468 [23:10] i don't want to delete anything on this computer [23:10] Hey guys, please direct me elsewhere if this is not relevant. I'm getting >600 wakeups a second when viewing on powertop; I discovered this after noticing my battery life was worse on ubuntu than on windows. What should I do to improve this? [23:11] It was >1000 before also [23:11] Hoolean: What suggestions does powertop give? [23:11] hey guys [23:11] if i install this will it delete anything [23:11] welch_: No. [23:12] Hey Jordan_U: I enabled the tunables that were set to "bad" if that is what you mean [23:12] it will keep everything [23:12] welch_: Correct. [23:12] ok [23:12] welch_, which version are you using ? lsb _release -a... [23:12] welch_, to be clear, you want to install ubuntu 14.04 instead of xbuntu 14.04, is this correct? [23:13] I mean and not xbuntu 14.04 [23:13] no i want to add ubuntu to my sessiond [23:13] sessions [23:14] ̣ [23:14] welch_: as larrypg asked, which version are you using? [23:14] i think you said xbuntu 12.......... [23:14] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7597998/ [23:15] need help wz this [23:15] http://pastebin.com/Beh7ac6s [23:15] grobe0ba: I don't know. Try asking in #upstart. [23:15] Jordan_U, rgr. thx [23:15] grobe0ba: You're welcome. [23:16] yosry: do you have a version of synaptic running at the same time? if so, close that. [23:16] yosry, or another package manager instance [23:16] is there a way to get file(1) to tell me a mime type of text/x-python for python scripts? [23:17] buck1: What is your end goal? [23:17] how can I view pdf files in web with chromium and how can I get java plugins to work with chromium ? [23:17] Jordan_U: i'd like to let people configure my system with mime types, and match python files as such [23:17] samthewildone: there are plenty of guides online, after installing say, oracle java - that show how to symlink the plugin into the right folder. [23:18] help wz this [23:18] http://pastebin.com/Beh7ac6s [23:18] Jordan_U: any ideas what it may be? :) [23:18] No Ãmore default sounds for alarm-clck-applet. Can anyone with ubuntu < 14.04 try? [23:18] daftykins, thats just the problem [23:18] It used to have 4 .ogg files as default sounds [23:18] but it seems to have none, now [23:18] daftykins, I follow all those guides and not one has work... [23:18] yosry: killall apt-get [23:19] You think I have time to waste looking at guides, i've got work to do... [23:19] thats why I can into the chat... [23:19] buck1: am trying now [23:19] yosry: something else is running that uses the package system e.g. update-manager. ps -ax to see if you can spot it [23:19] yosry: fuser -v /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [23:20] samthewildone: what often happens, is people follow the guides 100% precisely, but you might actually have a newer java installed and so the file and folder paths are wrong [23:20] Loshki: a better way to "spot it" ^ [23:20] samthewildone: also, chrome may be in another path than the one being used [23:20] buck1: agreed, fuser is better [23:20] buck1: fuser -v /var/cache/apt/archives/lock spots nothing [23:20] buck1: unless... [23:20] yosry: it's possible the killall fixed the situation. try again [23:20] samthewildone: find the "ln -s ..." command in a guide and instead of pasting it, type out the path and use tab complete to find paths which actually exist. [23:21] http://askubuntu.com/questions/12584/why-doesnt-chromium-have-chrome-pdf-viewer-plugin/12587#12587 [23:22] what is so timeconsuming about this answer? [23:23] samthewildone: [23:23] buck1: thx alot all done [23:23] Chromium now have a pdf viewer on chrome store based on pdf.js that works like a charm. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm [23:23] tried it. it works. [23:23] yosry: somehow you had an apt-get running in the background [23:23] holding the lock [23:24] buck1: i tried to spot it but no luck with that [23:24] yosry: i assume it was bc the killall killed it before you ran fuser [23:25] Have a question. I've set chmod 777 /etc/ssl/private (just for testing) and as a non-root user, I can't ls -al the contents. Any thoughts? [23:26] buck1: i got this now http://pastebin.com/3rLayLF7 [23:26] hey polish guy [23:26] mjuszczak: what happens when you 'll' the /etc/ssl/ directory? [23:26] buck1: after installing ubuntu restrickted extra [23:26] can you see the perms are actually set? [23:26] mjuszczak: ls is often about th edirectory permissions, not the file permissions [23:26] mjuszczak: Likely apparmor is preventing access. [23:26] Fresh news from me, it was actually installing updates in background and pulled requester: "the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates , requester bitcoinassassin [23:27] mjuszczak: ls -ld /etc/ssl/ [23:27] so just fine, i supose. [23:27] mjuszczak: i hope you understand that making that stuff world readable/wriatable is a Bad Idea [23:27] ll returns: drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jun 4 16:52 private/ [23:28] mjuszczak: then you haven't run the command: ls -ld /etc/ssl/ [23:28] buck1: This is just for testing - I'm in a dev container. Trying to figure out why OpenlDAP can't read the key inside /etc/ssl/private even though I've made it owned by root:ssl-cert and openldap is part of the ssl-cert user. [23:28] mjuszczak: Check OpenLDAP's Apparmor profile. [23:28] This is annoying. [23:29] samthewildone: "this" [23:29] buck1: that returns drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 4 16:52 /etc/ssl/ [23:29] seems accessible. shrug. I'd guess apparmor. [23:29] * samthewildone snaps buck1's neck [23:29] apparmor: unrecognized service [23:30] (when I try service apparmor shutdown) [23:30] got it working, samthewildone ? [23:30] midnight_: i sense a direct hand-holding is being requested [23:30] daftykins: haha..... nice [23:31] nope [23:31] derp, it's a plugin [23:31] how can a plugin not work [23:31] looks like i have to do more [23:31] samthewildone: strace -e file may help pinpoint the issue [23:31] mjuszczak: Check the Apparmor profile in /etc/apparmor.d/ . [23:31] look some websites work with the java and so don't [23:31] midnight_: it does not automatically place itself within browsers added by the user [23:32] samthewildone: so oracle java *does* show up in chrome's extensions/plugins page? [23:32] (assuming you installed oracle java... please say if you didn't) [23:32] mjuszczak, ufw instead of apparmor? no idea just a thought [23:32] larrypg: mjuszczak: ufw is completely unrelated to local file access. [23:34] http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w185/samthewildone/not_loading_zps5ff7fe41.png [23:35] ^ not loading the java === felipealmeida is now known as felipealmeida_AW [23:36] In the past 3 hours I've been playing around trying to figure of this. [23:36] Jordan_U: There happens to be a profile in there for usr.sbin.slapd, which is the service I'm trying to get to be able to read that darn file, but nothing in there for the openldap user. [23:36] I thought everything would had been managed by the software installer... [23:36] samthewildone: 2 things: 1) that's chromium 2) that's not the plugins/extensions page [23:37] samthewildone: please check whether it's showing the java or not [23:37] well I went back to chromium because the google-stable ain't working either [23:37] it just dawned on me that ubuntu becomes one hell of a gaming os if one installs burger space [23:37] burger space?

[23:37] ^ === akim__ is now known as akim [23:37] what is burger space [23:37] daftykins, only thing I got on chromium is "chromoting viewer + adobe flash" [23:38] I found about a burger that was sent into space [23:38] no other plugins present [23:38] but that's it [23:38] this is less than desirable http://paste.pound-python.org/show/BaUBAc9Z2CX2exDRwNpD/ [23:38] hello [23:38] ## [23:38] m1dnight_, the most graphically-intensive game ever [23:39] hmm [23:39] samthewildone: ok so you need to symlink the plugin to the correct path as i mentioned above [23:39] to watch another episode of xmen tas, or not to watch an episode of xmen tas [23:39] samthewildone: what does "which chromium" or "which chromium-browser" in a terminal output? something in /opt ? [23:39] this is what happens when I abandon linux for windows... [23:40] can you give ma a site that requires java, samthewildone ? [23:40] i want to check [23:40] im on a fresh install, since today [23:40] www.oanda.com [23:40] m1dnight_: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre [23:40] yum chromium does not take it [23:40] even though I have java installed.

[23:41] linux_: and may the greetings be considered reciprocal [23:41] "/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java" [23:41] fedora's great if you need the latest software but that's about it [23:41] Howdy night crawlers. I’m currently running the GParted live cd trying to repair a ext4 partition.The partition is on 2TB and it’s been running for a while now. I’m by no means an expert at GParted, and was wondering if anyone here knows how I can get a more thorough status report on how the progress is going? [23:41] samthewildone: so have you run my 'which' commands yet? [23:41] daftykins, do you recommend i remove chromium and install google-stable ? [23:42] guys could somebody help me resolve problems in Ubuntu 12.04 system running on low graphics, unable to boot [23:42] samthewildone: google-stable also does not include java [23:42] daftykins, can you reprint please [23:42] samthewildone: java working has nothing to do with that. [23:42] i know [23:42] samthewildone: no, it's just above... scroll up [23:44] ciao bella [23:45] so what else other than apparmor can not let me run ls -al on a directory that is 777?

[23:55] bugcy013: What motherboard or server model is this? [23:56] It has super micro and has UEFI Shell on it [23:57] bugcy013: you need to load a driver module for the LSI controller cards to allow them to see the RAID volume [23:57] anyone noticed that rhythmbox idles at 1-2% cpu use (not playing or anything) === moked is now known as matkal [23:58] daftykins: it sees the drive but it says that it requires a separate partition for boot loader
