| markolo25_ | there's actually 2 files i want to extract | 00:01 |
| markolo25_ | so inside of the screen i did && | 00:01 |
| markolo25_ | then i ctrl a ctrl d | 00:01 |
| markolo25_ | should be good to close putty now right | 00:01 |
| SchrodingersScat | yeah, can check with a screen -ls | 00:01 |

| pgnome | I constantly have video driver problems with ubuntu | 00:53 |
| pgnome | I wonder if it's a bug | 00:53 |
| pgnome | nvidia driver installed is newer than what is shown in nvidia xserver settings | 00:53 |
| pgnome | and when I update in terminal - takes forever.. sudo apt-get update and then it gets hung, quite often before finishing | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | pgnome, This a proprietary driver? If so what is the exact problems you have? | 00:54 |
| pgnome | which driver should be listed in nvidia server settings? | 00:56 |
| pgnome | NVIDIA Driver Version: ->? | 00:56 |
| jitesh | Hello all. I have a problem with resume on my Lenovo Y10p running Ubuntu 13.10. The screen is black ALWAYS after ubuntu tries to resume from sleep. ctrl+alt+f2 has not worked. increasing the brightness does not work either. I have searched the depths on the internet and not found anything, thats why I come here :) | 00:58 |
| jitesh | is this the right channel? | 00:58 |
| pgnome | it displays an older driver version.... | 00:58 |
| jitesh | If someone wants to have a look, the crash log and output of my lspci is here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7615687/ | 00:59 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: yeah, this is the right channel | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | pgnome, proprietary can have two sources, straight from nvidia and at times part of the additional drivers offered. Not really and area I'm best in, but as part of the inquiry you want to state the graphic hardware and what you have installed, and the actual problems you have had. | 00:59 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, thanks! the log tells me that the crash is because of the integrated graphics card? I tried to disable it from the BIOS, but the BIOS won't let me disable it. I can only disable the external Nvidia graphics card. | 01:00 |
| jitesh | I tried the generic (non ubuntu) stable 3..14.6 and the problem persists. | 01:01 |

| zymaster | Hey so I'm having a problem with grub. I have a triple boot system with windows mac and ubuntu using chameleon to boot each one. Chameleon is working fine but I have grub installed on the Ubuntu partition and when I boot from chameleon I want to skip the menu. So I tried editing /etc/default/grub and setting timeouts to 0 the doing sudo update-grub but that didn't work so I tried injecting | 01:04 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, yep. Its an nvidia GT 755M | 01:04 |
| zymaster | some code manually into the grub.cfg but that didn't help either any ideas? | 01:04 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: define "external", you actually have it seperate from the laptop? | 01:04 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, by external I only mean that its not an intel integrated graphics card. Its not physically external ofcourse :) | 01:06 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: then it's not external, get your facts straight. That would be the only card in your laptop, so theres nothing to disable. | 01:07 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: is there anything visable on the screen after the resume (is it just REALLY dark, or is it BLACK/off) | 01:07 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, its not dark, its off. | 01:08 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, also what is this in my lspci, if nvidia is the only card I have -> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) | 01:08 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1978290 have you tried this? | 01:08 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: that means your CPU has built in graphics if you don't have any other. it's shut off if you have other graphics (which you do) automatically. | 01:10 |
| Asterisks | I'll be back in 10 minutes, try that ubuntu forums link until then. | 01:11 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, ok. trying it now. If am disconnected, its because I had to restart my laptop because I was unable to resume it. Will be back. thanks! | 01:13 |

| Donnylad | my ubuntu looks awesome i added the mac os x theme | 01:18 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, tried the link. It indeed does not die with a black screen like before. However, it has an unpleasant side-effect that it inhibits sleep. When I try to sleep, the screen goes black for a second and then comes back up with a passowrd prompt. Laptop never really goes to sleep. | 01:19 |
| rena_ | <voidwalkr> that's probably related to USB Read/Write speed. If you run it from some HDD with firewire or PATA/SATA (external or directly in MB) connection you should have no problems. | 01:19 |
| andlabs | so am I stuck with this incorrect terminal? it's not helpful that most other programs in the guest don't seem to do this | 01:20 |
| cfhowlett | voidwalkr "doesn't work very well" describes ... nothing. however, installing to a HDD means ubuntu doesn't have to run from RAM. if you have small ram (less than 4 gb), you will indeed perceive ubuntu as slowish | 01:21 |

| voidwalkr | i see... yes, it is crashing a lot when i am running it from usb, lots of problems, and screen stalls... i've allocated extra space on the usb partition for saving files, the files do save nicely and the information is preserved but upgrades just destroy the entire usb installation that you can't boot from the stick anymore, and any kind of installation of new programs becomes a nightmare | 01:33 |

| lacrymology | I've got an nvidia optimus, and my computer with 13.10 is running very hot. I used bumblebee until yesterday, but the latest kernel upgrade broke it, so I went back to nvidia-319 only.

| Asterisks | yeah, i imagine if you have a chip that's supposed to be on only a fraction of the time running 24/7 that would generate a lot of heat. | 01:58 |
| lacrymology | Asterisks: it is known how to. It's a hybrid graphics card, embedded intel card + nvidia card. The thing is that there's no driver support for linux | 01:58 |
| lacrymology | I think there's now, but only for 14.04 | 01:58 |
| lacrymology | I mean, for the latest kernel that hasn't been backported | 01:58 |

| markolo25 | Donnylad: don't you always have to install windows first | 02:16 |
| markolo25 | since it was easier that way? | 02:16 |
| Donnylad | yer | 02:16 |
| Amigadude | so just a problem with not enough of the system being multithread? | 02:17 |

| jitesh | Asterisks, ok. 00:08 is a Plug-n-play device. Looks like it is iwlwifi.. my wifi card. any way I can keep that out of the resume sequence? | 02:19 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: try unplugging your wifi card and just see if it works first | 02:19 |
| Asterisks | jitesh: (facepalm) you probably can't unplug it | 02:20 |
| jitesh | Asterisks, haha yes. I have a button to disable it in hardware though :) | 02:20 |
| Asterisks | do that | 02:20 |
| jitesh | and I can unload the module before trying to suspend | 02:20 |
| Asterisks | or that | 02:20 |

| jitesh | Asterisks, yep. so that will be one more "quit" message in your IRC ;) | 02:20 |

| kcj[work] | Hey, how can I tell if Xorg is even bothering to read my Xorg.conf? | 02:32 |
| Asterisks | lacrymology: anyway, once you figure out how to get the stupid module unloaded you can disable it. Maybe try to do the disable on boot part and then restart? | 02:32 |
| Asterisks | kcj[work]: screw up your xorf.conf, if xorg breaks then it's reading it | 02:33 |

| lacrymology | Asterisks: that will add bbswitch to the load list? | 02:59 |

| lacrymology | or remove it? | 02:59 |

| lacrymology | Asterisks: I just want to REMOVE nouveau | 02:59 |
| lacrymology | I don't care about switching anymore | 02:59 |

| lacrymology | brb | 03:00 |
| sydney | logicalguy: Good question; i would like to know this myself. :) | 03:01 |
| Beldar | rpg32, Did you unplug and plugin in the guest, best test would be a shutdown remove usb start go to guest and plugin. Have you used a unmount when using or just pull out the usb? | 03:01 |
| rpg32 | just pulled out the usb | 03:01 |
| rpg32 | and yes i unplugged, but without restart | 03:02 |
| rpg32 | i can give that a shot | 03:02 |
| Beldar | rpg32, That may be the cause, always safely remove or unmount | 03:02 |
| rpg32 | how should i do that? | 03:02 |
| rpg32 | it is not mounting | 03:02 |
| Beldar | rpg32, right clicking the icon wherever you see it gives those options. | 03:03 |
| lazyworkaholic | Bashing-om: I had to reinstall my whole system, but now I'm having grub problems. I want to make sure not being able to find /home isn't the problem. | 03:03 |
| rpg32 | the only place it shows up is when i look at lsusb in the terminal | 03:03 |
| logicalguy | sydney installing mate-desktop-environment does not install xorg, looks like | 03:04 |
| Beldar | rpg32, You should have been doing it, and since you have not regularly I would guess that is the cause of your problem now. | 03:04 |
| Beldar | rpg32, pulling without unmounting can corrupt. | 03:04 |
| rpg32 | oh, no when it was mounting i would unmount it before unplugging... but now it isn't mounting | 03:04 |
| rpg32 | so i just unplug now | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | lazyworkaholic: I be grapsong at straws here, nut in the liveDVD environment download the mdadm package prior to install ?? | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | nut/but* | 03:05 |
| Beldar | <Beldar> rpg32, Did you unplug and plugin in the guest, best test would be a shutdown remove usb start go to guest and plugin. Have you used a unmount when using or just pull out the usb? <rpg32> just pulled out the usb So this question and answer is incorrect | 03:05 |
| rpg32 | when i logged in as guest i just unplugged and plugged back in... because it wasn't mounted... it hasn't been mounting at all that is why i said i just unplugged it... but in any case, i will try to shut down and log in as guest and then plug in the usb afterwards... thanks, brb | 03:07 |
| Beldar | rpg32, Your answer when I asked was you just unplug, so just going by that till you said you have unmounted. Contradictory statements is all hard to parse. ;) JUst carefully read questions and answer accordingly | 03:08 |
| === d3fc0n is now known as Guest54080 | ||
| rpg32 | ok, it still did not work | 03:09 |
| rpg32 | i did just as you said | 03:09 |
| Beldar | rpg32, So in the past when mounted did you always safely remove from a right click or unmount? | 03:10 |
| Beldar | both right clicks or from the terminal rpg32 | 03:10 |
| rpg32 | from the arrow in Nautilus | 03:10 |
| rpg32 | usually | 03:10 |
| rpg32 | never really used unmount | 03:11 |
| Beldar | rpg32, Cool, all it takes is one not umounted removal to corrupt the usb device, just a hypothesis here but vaild. | 03:11 |
| rpg32 | completely possible, so what would the fix be? | 03:12 |
| Beldar | rpg32, Not sure, it took a long tome to just get here I need a nap now. ;) | 03:12 |
| rpg32 | anyone else have any ideas please? | 03:13 |
| Beldar | rpg32, may just be a file or something, I would try another OS or a live to see if it shows in the OS to startv with | 03:14 |

| lacrymology | ok, can someone tell me where's X's config? /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist | 03:17 |
| Beldar | <rpg32> it works other computers When was the last time you checked? | 03:17 |
| rpg32 | just today | 03:17 |
| Beldar | rpg32, cool, I'm not sure just mounting from the cli is the best move myself, but that is a guarded response. It is a apple device I would get info from somebody who really knows this thing and using it in ubuntu, might be a few here, but of the channels regualrs I see who are highly skilled I have never see them mention any apple anything used. | 03:19 |

| Asterisks | Pimples: that's generally how it goes | 04:23 |
| Pimples | yeah, i asked somebody where i could look for help and somebody pointed it out here | 04:24 |
| Asterisks | yep | 04:25 |
| Asterisks | !ask | Pimples | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Pimples: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 04:25 |
| Pimples | i see | 04:25 |
| Pimples | well my wine apps started to not work now, whenever i open it, it closes | 04:25 |
| cobracommand | i did apt-get update and it fixed it | 04:25 |
| Pimples | and when i tried accessing it via command line, it says something like this | 04:26 |
| Pimples | Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your 32-bit OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly | 04:26 |
| Pimples | any idea how to fix this? | 04:26 |
| Asterisks | any apps in particular? | 04:27 |
| Pimples | well games in particular | 04:27 |
| Pimples | any game i try to run, turns out like this. | 04:27 |
| Asterisks | radeon card? | 04:28 |
| Pimples | nvidia | 04:28 |
| potato_farmer | Pimples: in a VM or bare metal? | 04:29 |
| Pimples | bare metal | 04:29 |
| potato_farmer | Did you install the 32-bit OpenGL libraries? | 04:29 |
| potato_farmer | They are optional. | 04:29 |
| Pimples | well yeah, i think so | 04:30 |
| Pimples | they where working before | 04:30 |
| Asterisks | potato_farmer: I've gotta go, I'll let you take this over | 04:30 |
| Asterisks | Pimples: got the proprietary drivers for your card installed? | 04:30 |
| Pimples | yep | 04:30 |
| Pimples | well actually i checked it, it says activated but not in use | 04:30 |
| Asterisks | Pimples: https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+faq/2485 scroll down to "NVIDIA (Proprietary driver)" | 04:31 |
| Asterisks | and I'm off, hopefully that helps. if it doesn't, someone else can | 04:31 |
| Pimples | alright | 04:33 |
| Pimples | will try that, thanks for the suggestion | 04:33 |
| Pimples | ill backup things first | 04:34 |
| Pimples | a friend of mine suggested to just perform a clean install if ever something gets wrong | 04:34 |

| TuxRescue | morning, how can i check the bandwidth that i used? | 04:58 |
| rena_ | TuxRescue: do you mean the amount of data that passed through the netword interface? If so, you can use ifconfig and look in the network device in use (usually eth0 for ethernet cable connection or eth1 for wifi) for the fields like the following example - RX bytes:3128675744 (3.1 GB) TX bytes:142583873 (142.5 MB) | 05:05 |
| mkrz | Hi #ubuntu, I installed oracle jre by extracting the downloaded gz file and pointing the path variables in my local profile. jre is installed at /usr/local/java. My question is if I remove the folder /usr/local/java/ and remove the path variables will jre be completely removed from the system? | 05:05 |
| TuxRescue | rena_: thats an idea, but when i reboot the stats are borked | 05:13 |
| TuxRescue | i wanna make sure that i dont come close to the DO transfer limits | 05:14 |
| kylin | help | 05:16 |
| kylin | netstat -a | 05:16 |
| kylin | china and beijing | 05:17 |
| rena_ | TuxRescue: oh, I thought you just wanted something for keeping track of the data transfered in the actual session. | 05:21 |
| TuxRescue | :) | 05:22 |
| rena_ | In that case, I think some script would have to be used to achieve that cumulative report you are after | 05:22 |
| rena_ | TuxRescue: We gotta love Google. Check this out - The harder way: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/305767-bandwidth-monitoring-with-iptables ; or the easier way: http://humdi.net/vnstat/ | 05:30 |
| TuxRescue | rena_: i came from similar pages and found that frustrating. so i asked :) | 05:31 |
| rena_ | For the easier way, under ubuntu, just do sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install vnstat. | 05:33 |

| guest-ecj9U2 | hello everyone. | 05:42 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | My login screen keeps reappearing after i put in my password. don't know why | 05:43 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | I'm using the guest account right now | 05:43 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | my home directory is mounted from another HD and I'm putting the correct password in | 05:43 |
| rena_ | You're very welcome TuxRescue | 05:44 |
| rena_ | guest-ecj9U2: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 05:44 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | 14.04 | 05:45 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | rena_ 14.04 | 05:45 |
| rena_ | I had a similar problem but under 12.04. It happened after I messed with partitions. | 05:49 |
| rena_ | I moved and resized partitions, as well as deleting the swap partition. | 05:49 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | rena_ This is a fresh install too | 05:49 |
| Viking667 | hullo again. I'm having some fairly major problems with gnome-shell. in effect, what's happening is that while gnome-shell shows up in the process list, it doesn't appear to be doing any of the things a "normal" window manager like metacity or xfce does. | 05:49 |
| Viking667 | I don't see frames. The display doesn't update. And there's no panels | 05:50 |
| Viking667 | In addition, I can't focus the window I started the WM from (an xterm) | 05:50 |
| rena_ | guest-ecj9U2: Oh, then that is a surprise to me and maybe above my level of expertise. | 05:50 |
| Viking667 | If I do a Ctl-C, the WM decorations all go away, and I'm finally left with the error message the WM spat out | 05:51 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | ok thanks rena_ | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | so, my question now, is: what do I do next to try and debug the cause of this issue with gnome-shell (Ubuntu 14.04, 32-bit) | 05:52 |
| rena_ | You're welcome Guest2419 . I'm sorry that I could not help you figure it out. Normally in cases like that I would look in syslog for errors at the time you tried to login. That could pinpoint the cause of the "bug" and help to figure out how to fix it | 05:57 |
| guest-ecj9U2 | rena_ where is the syslog? | 05:58 |
| rena_ | it's in /var/log/syslog | 05:58 |

| makara | hi. The sysadmin changed the DNS from old site to new site but I don't see a change from firefox, curl or wget | 07:38 |
| makara | ping and dig show the correct IP | 07:38 |
| makara | I've tried rebooting | 07:38 |
| ikonia | sounds like you may have cache in your browser, or a static host map on your host | 07:39 |
| planetmaker | makara, firefox sometimes has weired caching issues. Try to delete its cache | 07:42 |
| planetmaker | or at least the page you have problems with from its history | 07:42 |
| makara | the sysadmin installed new dnsservers | 07:43 |
| ikonia | makara: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 07:44 |
| makara | I don't want to explicitely set them in /etc/network/interfaces because I use my computer elsewhere | 07:44 |
| makara | 14.04 | 07:44 |
| makara | so does 14.04 just query the gateway for dns? | 07:44 |
| ikonia | makara: it gets dns from dhcp | 07:44 |
| ikonia | makara: or from what you set it | 07:45 |
| ikonia | makara: but you've already said dns is working as you can ping the correct host | 07:45 |
| makara | yeah | 07:45 |
| ikonia | makara: do "nslookup www.yourhost.com" and verify that the dns servers you are using show the right host/ip multiple times | 07:45 |
| makara | it's correct | 07:45 |
| ikonia | ok, so you know dns is not the problems, so either a.) your browser b.) your website is the problem | 07:46 |
| makara | website? | 07:46 |
| Galvan | Hi all. Is there any way to make firefox look like the windows 7 version? I mean the aero transparent tabs stuff. | 07:46 |
| makara | curl and wget both give me the old website frontpage | 07:46 |
| ikonia | makara: well, as you said "the browser" I assume you are viewing a website with the browser | 07:46 |
| ikonia | makara: ok, so it seems logical then that it is the target that is being wrong | 07:47 |
| robotdevil | Can someone please tell me the GENERIC config entry for snd-hda-intel to add to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base for headphone sound switching. All the how to I find have specific models for notebooks and such. I need the plain jane one/ | 07:47 |
| cfhowlett | Galvan search the firefox add-ons for a win7 plugiin | 07:48 |
| cfhowlett | theme | 07:48 |
| makara | i tried to set the dns-servers in curl but it says not included in build | 07:48 |
| ikonia | makara: you don't need to set the dns servers | 07:48 |
| ikonia | you already know they are working - you've confirmed this | 07:48 |
| robotdevil | I had my configs backed up, but accidentally formatted drive | 07:49 |
| robotdevil | fail | 07:49 |
| makara | wget and curl don't give me the correct page | 07:49 |
| makara | wget, curl and firefox | 07:49 |
| makara | ping and dig do | 07:49 |
| ikonia | makara: right, so if 3 browser situtations are giving you the wrong page - but the right dns, what does that tell you | 07:49 |
| ikonia | makara: its either a.) the target b.) something in between you/target | 07:49 |
| robotdevil | nm http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:audio_and_snd-hda-intel | 07:50 |
| robotdevil | yay | 07:50 |
| makara | ikonia: ok, so I've tried --no-dns-cache on wget. I've tried Ctrl+F5 on Firefox and traceroute ends at the gateway | 07:51 |
| ikonia | makara: that changes nothing I've said | 07:52 |
| ikonia | makara: you already KNOW dns is WORKING - so I don't understand why you are trying different cache options | 07:52 |
| ikonia | makara: it is either a.) the target b.) something between you and the target | 07:52 |
| makara | ok, DNS is working | 07:52 |

| [Saint] | Can anyone enlighten me as to what it is that would be auto mounting a partiton that isn't listed in fstab? | 07:58 |
| [Saint] | Potentially relevant disk information: http://pastebin.com/taUKBEn2 | 07:58 |
| [Saint] | sda8 is getting automounted - but, by what? | 07:59 |
| Fyodorovna | [Saint], Have you confirmed the uuid's with sudo blkid with fstab entries | 08:01 |
| === BinaryMcAwesome is now known as High-Q-Brah | ||
| [Saint] | Fyodorovna: everything this is listed in fstab is kosher, yes. | 08:02 |
| [Saint] | Its just this one partition that is getting automounted by something apparebntly ungreppable. | 08:02 |
| [Saint] | (or, I'm failing on my grep fu) | 08:02 |
| Fyodorovna | [Saint], Ah I missed the uuid command my mistake. ;) | 08:02 |
| [Saint] | Np. | 08:03 |
| [Saint] | I'm slightly confused by this "helpful" feature. | 08:03 |
| Fyodorovna | [Saint], Looks like a uefi setup, and gpt, not idea why it would mount sda8 though. | 08:04 |
| [Saint] | Fyodorovna: No UEFI, no. | 08:05 |
| [Saint] | Whatever is auto mounting this partition has the smarts to leave it alone if I manually insert an entry for sda8 in fstab | 08:06 |
| Fyodorovna | [Saint] does sda8 contain any clones? | 08:06 |
| [Saint] | Its not so much of a problem, and I worked around it. | 08:06 |
| [Saint] | I would just like to know *what* it is that thinks it should be auto mounting partitions. | 08:07 |
| [Saint] | And, why? | 08:07 |
| Fyodorovna | [Saint], a clone of ubuntu for example | 08:07 |
| [Saint] | Fyodorovna: it does not, no. | 08:07 |

| [Saint] | Gah. Yes it does. Need coffee. | 08:14 |
| Layke | It's the autocmplete sound | 08:14 |
| Layke | It's above the sound of anythying else on my system. | 08:14 |
| [Saint] | Layke: that will be your systems amp disengaging | 08:15 |
| [Saint] | (if its an audible thump that obviously isn't a system sound) | 08:15 |
| Layke | Well, I mean my description of the sound was bad :) It is a machine sound. It sounds like a warning notification | 08:16 |
| Layke | It's because it's telling me that there are no autocomplete availabilities | 08:16 |
| Layke | But like my spotify sound might be like 20% and this volume is a few times louder | 08:16 |
| [Saint] | That's...weird. | 08:17 |
| [Saint] | I have no such sound. | 08:17 |
| [Saint] | Unless I turn my volume up WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY high. | 08:17 |
| Layke | Found it :) It was "Terminal Bell" | 08:17 |
| Layke | I have been through the terminal profile settings sooo many times | 08:17 |
| Layke | Looking for sound configuration | 08:17 |
| [Saint] | And even then, it seems to be interference from my amp and wireless keyboard, and not a system sound) | 08:18 |
| [Saint] | I'm on a newly installed 14.04 install right now that I literally have done nothing with except for try to mount a partition and have a "wtf?!?" moment and came in here. | 08:18 |
| [Saint] | tab completion in terminal is absolutely silent. | 08:19 |

| daschel | [Saint]: do you just want to use the DE from Lubuntu or what? | 08:39 |
| Fyodorovna | simbageoleo, desktop can mean a desktop computer, so for example if you wanted to install xubuntu, you would in the terminal run sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop that help in the understanding of the term desktop in this context. | 08:39 |
| Fyodorovna | two meanings | 08:39 |

| daschel | ah, ok. i only caught the tail end | 08:40 |
| Fyodorovna | simbageoleo, Cool, not sure on the wifi though, I wonder if you are just missing a driver, the wifi hardware is shown if you in the terminal run lspci | 08:41 |
| Fyodorovna | give us that wifi hardware ino simbageoleo | 08:41 |

| shunya_chakra | Fyodorovna, i have to pastebin these to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade ???? | 08:43 |
| Fyodorovna | shunya_chakra, In the terminal run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade and pastebin all the text including the commands, you do not have to install you have a yes or no option. | 08:44 |

| shunya_chakra | naresh, you can ask directly | 08:51 |
| shunya_chakra | ok Fyodorovna, ok I'll stop that and add key than run it again | 08:52 |
| Fyodorovna | simbageoleo, May not be in the repos that is the point, and this is a conjecture, have you read the resolved link on the exact wifi hardware I gave you. | 08:52 |
| Fyodorovna | shunya_chakra, DO NOT STOP A UPGRADE | 08:52 |
| Fyodorovna | shunya_chakra, I am having the deeling you are not clearly reading my posts. | 08:53 |
| Fyodorovna | feeling | 08:53 |
| simbageoleo | Fyodorovna, yes but what am i looking at here | 08:53 |
| Fyodorovna | simbageoleo, The possible answer that fixed the issue on that specific wifi hardware. | 08:53 |
| shunya_chakra | Fyodorovna, ok , I'll wait... it take time to download update.. | 08:54 |
| simbageoleo | Fyodorovna, i done the commands now what | 08:54 |
| justaguy | So, did full disk encryption, but @ startup where i need to unlock, it's in qwerty, and i'm an azerty user... , so cant unlock my hdd yey | 08:55 |
| Fyodorovna | simbageoleo, I'm not going to be able to help you. | 08:55 |
| shunya_chakra | Fyodorovna, Thanks so much! | 08:55 |
| Fyodorovna | shunya_chakra, No prob. | 08:55 |

| simbageoleo | Fyodorovna, great so you lead me into the woods just to run off and leave me for dead | 08:57 |
| Fyodorovna | justaguy, besides this issue, encryption is a good way to never see your data again. | 08:57 |

| simbageoleo | lastarms, correst | 08:59 |
| Fyodorovna | justaguy, That is just one possibility, but heh it's your data. ;) | 08:59 |
| lastarms | simbageoleo: usually intel drivers are built into the kernel and should be plug and play. | 08:59 |
| simbageoleo | lastarms, when i did the updates no additional drivers were found | 09:00 |
| lastarms | update as in sudo apt-get update? | 09:00 |

| simbageoleo | lastarms, yes thats what i am using atm | 09:08 |
| [Saint] | In the unlikely event that the OS needs to pull in additional drivers, this will trigger it to do so. | 09:09 |
| [Saint] | It will also tell you what, if any, proprietary drivers are in use. | 09:10 |
| lastarms | simbageoleo: Searching the forum, I found a few people with the same cases | 09:10 |

| * [Saint] just wishes to say that, generally speaking, it is a pretty bad idea to blindly c/p random bits of code from teh infowebs | 09:12 | |
| lastarms | [Saint]: it's a bad idea to copy codes from anywhere | 09:13 |
| lastarms | unless you know what you're doing | 09:13 |

| [Saint] | This is one of the reasons I like to keep a few virtual machines on hand | 09:16 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: debugs and to try out stuff | 09:16 |
| [Saint] | So you can study an unknown binary before introducing it to "the real world". | 09:16 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: I would really like to try to do rm -rf and see what I will get | 09:16 |
| [Saint] | Depending on the OS, it may or may not be smart enough to warn you against it being a very bad idea. | 09:17 |
| [Saint] | Or, it may just happily procede and nuke itself. | 09:17 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: I think ubuntu requires the additional command | 09:18 |

| lastarms | [Saint]: I still don't get how sysadmins can be dumb enough to trigger that | 09:19 |
| lastarms | sudo rm -rf / | 09:19 |
| mexi_d3 | lastarms: I've done it accidentally. Been in the wrong folder, or put a space in by mistake due to typo | 09:19 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | I installed this l2tp-ipsec-vpn from a launchpad PPA following instrrcutions from here: http://bailey.st/blog/2011/07/14/connecting-to-a-l2tpipsec-vpn-from-ubuntu-desktop/ -- It looks liek that PPA doesn't havbe any sources for Trusty (which is what I run) as apt-get update times out for trusty for that repo | 09:19 |

| geirha | That's why you do backups ... so you can use rm | 09:22 |
| [Saint] | That's like saying you shouldn't use the delete key. | 09:22 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: Delete actually just moves it to trash no? | 09:22 |
| mexi_d3 | there's no trash on command line, unless you installed one | 09:22 |
| [Saint] | Depending on how your system is configured, yes. | 09:22 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, No idea myself, just was trying to decipher your post, and point out ppa support here | 09:23 |
| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: I don't understand what you are trying to say | 09:23 |
| [Saint] | In my usual setups, delete is functionally equivalent to rm | 09:23 |
| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: you stated what I thought was a fact... and you showed us your system needs updating. | 09:23 |
| [Saint] | Its not like I can't still recover anything deleted accidentally. | 09:23 |
| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: are you in need of something? | 09:23 |
| [Saint] | ...assuming it wasn't immediately written over, which is unlikely.' | 09:24 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: you have backups then | 09:24 |
| [Saint] | delete isn't so much delete, itsa more...forget this exists. | 09:24 |
| geirha | Pr0jectRec0n: It just means there are updates available | 09:24 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, And everytime I do an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade - I see these : http://paste.linuxassist.net/view/54a2b9ee | 09:24 |

| Pr0jectRec0n | geirha, Fyodorovna - now I want o go back to the original way - that is UNDO everything I did - that is the stuff from http://bailey.st/blog/2011/07/14/connecting-to-a-l2tpipsec-vpn-from-ubuntu-desktop/ - how easily can I achieve that | 09:25 |

| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: and do sudo apt-get purge l2tp-ipsec-vpn | 09:26 |
| Fyodorovna | Guest34591, Sounds like you turned off the function | 09:26 |

| lastarms | [Saint]: now all important documents are backed up the cloud | 09:27 |

| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, lastarms - thanks guys - will try and report back! | 09:27 |
| [Saint] | backing up to the same physical machine is...problematic, potentially. | 09:27 |
| Fyodorovna | Guest34591, Actualy I missread that as a desktop function, not sure | 09:27 |
| lastarms | [Saint]: backip up the same machine is not called backing up.. | 09:27 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | however, in an apt-get upgrade, why wpuld it keep back ' linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic parole' ? - Is this something to do with apt-get update not completing successfully (due to that erroneous launchpad ppa)? | 09:28 |
| Guest34591 | Fyodorovna: I get the impression that they went away with the last kernel updat | 09:28 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Guest34591, were you talking to me? | 09:29 |
| [Saint] | Pr0jectRec0n: dist-upgrade will pull those remaining packages in | 09:29 |
| Fyodorovna | Guest34591, You can choose any installed kernel at the grub menu to confrim. | 09:29 |
| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: just do sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic parole | 09:29 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | [Saint], but but.. I don't want to do a dist-upgrade - I'm on 14.04 and would want to remain on 14.04 | 09:29 |
| [Saint] | throw "apt-get dist-upgrade && update grub" at it. | 09:29 |

| Fyodorovna | Luisja, 2nd home is your option, can be done later if needed for an upgrade | 09:55 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, Cannot paste the o/p - but waht I was looking for - the offending PPA was not present there | 09:55 |
| simbageoleo | not linux mint then | 09:55 |
| newbie|2 | lastarms: Just pasted the pic like you said | 09:55 |
| Fyodorovna | Luisja,err separate home. | 09:55 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, in that grep o/p | 09:55 |
| Paddy_NI | Is it safe to remove ibus from Ubuntu 14.04? | 09:55 |
| lastarms | Paddy_NI: ensure you have another input method before you do that | 09:55 |
| lastarms | newbie|2: pasted where? | 09:55 |
| Schalla | simbageoleo, from the *Ubuntu versions, XUbuntu will be the best choice, since XFCE is the one with the tiniest resource usage | 09:56 |
| Schalla | lastarms: Will take a look, thanks | 09:56 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, Oh I don't believe I do | 09:56 |
| newbie|2 | lastarms: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7617257/ | 09:56 |
| lastarms | newbie|2: and I wasn't the one who requested a picture... | 09:56 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, Not sure I believe you analysis of the text from what I have seen so far. | 09:56 |
| simbageoleo | Schalla, thank you | 09:56 |
| Fyodorovna | your* | 09:56 |
| Schalla | There are ofc other distros which may require even less | 09:56 |
| lastarms | newbie|2: your problem has got to be something to do with a kernel bug with your driver. Try google. I totally can;t help you in regards to alsa and pulse problems... | 09:57 |

| Schalla | ;p | 09:57 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, I have had this issue with Lubuntu on a laptop and now with Ubuntu on the tower. It seems that even with my Region and Keyboard set to English UK I am getting the US layout | 09:57 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, I have made no modifications other than to update it and install the restricted extra | 09:57 |
| Paddy_NI | *extras | 09:57 |
| lastarms | Paddy_NI: I think that can be easily fixed with a command | 09:57 |
| lastarms | Paddy_NI: try googling ubuntu keyboard layout or something | 09:58 |
| Paddy_NI | loadkeymap or something | 09:58 |
| Paddy_NI | okay cheers :-) | 09:58 |
| lastarms | Fyodorovna: well, I said what I wanted to, if he didn't hear it, not my problem. And I was going to tell him I can't help anyway | 09:58 |
| Luisja | Fyodorovna: So the end result would look like this: W8 partition with OS (70GB ntfs), Xubuntu Root (20GB ext4), Storage (350GB ntfs), Swap (x2Ram Swap), Home (30 GB Ext4), is this good? | 09:58 |
| lastarms | Schalla: hehe | 09:58 |
| simbageoleo | i am hopeing that this install wont give me the prefix error | 09:59 |
| lastarms | Luisja: if you have spare, try getting a bigger root | 09:59 |
| lastarms | Luisja: it will help a lot when you need to upgrade to a newer OS after you have a lot of programs installed | 09:59 |
| Fyodorovna | Luisja, If that is what you want sure. | 09:59 |
| Luisja | lastarms: bigger? how much? | 09:59 |
| simbageoleo | how do i format a disc on lubuntu please | 10:00 |
| Fyodorovna | Luisja, Personally I never have a separate home, but I don't upgrade releases, I fresh install | 10:00 |
| lastarms | Luisja: I would think around 32GB. But it's up to you | 10:00 |
| tech2 | Hi all, I'm writing a juju charm and when a relation triggers, how do I determine the IP address of the remote machine the other service is on? | 10:00 |
| Luisja | thanks both for you help ! | 10:00 |
| lastarms | tech2: arp -a? | 10:01 |
| lastarms | tech2: not sure what your requirement is, but arp will tell you about other machines in the same segment | 10:01 |
| * Fyodorovna watches Yanni on PBS and and goes mmmm pseudo middle eastern music | 10:02 | |
| tech2 | lastarms: I have a multi-master database setup, with replication. When a link is formed between the two via a relation in juju, how does the juju hook script know what each end's IP addresses are (or do I need to carry that around as local configuration info?) | 10:02 |
| === TuxRescue is now known as TuxRescue_ | ||
| kDycuLaptop | okay so, I'm still stuck with this problem from yesterday, hoping a different set of eyes will have more insight. | 10:03 |
| lastarms | tech2: I might be wrong, but I think that you should ask that in Juju's forum instead of Ubuntu... | 10:03 |
| kDycuLaptop | I'm running this GUI program at boot, which crashes out when automatically run | 10:04 |
| tech2 | Fair enough, thanks lastarms | 10:04 |
| kDycuLaptop | but if I call it manually through the terminal everything is fine | 10:04 |
| kDycuLaptop | why? and how can I fix that? | 10:04 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: what is the crash report? | 10:05 |
| kDycuLaptop | I don't get a crash report unfortunately :/ | 10:05 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: what's the difference in the environment when you auto-run and when you do a manual run?> | 10:05 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, lastarms - guys - I just used the accepted answer from here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed and I'm good to go now.. | 10:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | I have no idea what the difference is, it seems pretty much the same to me? | 10:06 |
| lastarms | Pr0jectRec0n: good for you | 10:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | it's like the autostart.sh file looks like | 10:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | cd /root/pinbox/bin | 10:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | ./run pinbox -bpp 16 -fullscreen | 10:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | and in order to call it in the terminal | 10:07 |
| kDycuLaptop | it's just sudo su | 10:07 |
| kDycuLaptop | and then the other two commands | 10:07 |
| kDycuLaptop | :/ | 10:07 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, So where the ppa's sources.list or sources.list.d | 10:07 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Anywya, the issue I faced with upgrade keeping back packages (exactly similar pkgs for me) is asnwered here - and why dist-upgrade would work : http://askubuntu.com/questions/81585/what-is-dist-upgrade-and-why-does-it-upgrade-more-than-upgrade | 10:07 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, read the question I linked - even that OP didn't have them listed under /etc/apt/source.list (or .d) .. | 10:08 |
| simbageoleo | does anyone here own a windows pc | 10:08 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: so when you run it manually, u use root | 10:08 |
| kDycuLaptop | yeah, i spose | 10:09 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, you are confused, no where else would they be. | 10:09 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: how do you run it automatically? | 10:09 |
| simbageoleo | or know anyone that has got the dreaded gameover zeus virus | 10:09 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, so - what are you/were youi suggesting..? | 10:09 |
| kDycuLaptop | uh, I'm not exactly 100% how that works. I have an autostart.sh file in /root/pinbox/scripts that does it | 10:09 |
| kDycuLaptop | which I assume is linked somewhere else that runs it at start? | 10:09 |
| lastarms | putting a script in /root/* will not make it run automatically | 10:10 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, That you do not understand is all. | 10:10 |
| Sven_vB | i'm installing trusty thar. the live session starts working fine, i fill in the installer, it starts to install stuff, i go away do other stuff, and when i come back, my screens show strange colors flickering, sometimes switching to console for a few moments to show messages about nuveau or how it's called (some nvidia driver). i know i managed to fix it somehow some time ago via ssh, but ssh isn't responding at this stage. how can i tell the | 10:10 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, hmm ok | 10:10 |
| Sven_vB | installer to use the graphics driver that made the live session work? | 10:10 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: for autostart script you have to either use cron or place it in init.d | 10:10 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, You fixed it though, so no biggie. ;) | 10:10 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, what was the point of the grep - to prove it wouldn't be there under sources.list or sources.list.d? | 10:10 |
| lastarms | Sven_vB: did it refuse to install? | 10:11 |
| karooga | Hi, I'm trying to install package dependencies for doing a build. I already have some long running processes of applications that I already build on the system. Is there a risk that I could break the already running applications (that I built)? | 10:11 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, yeah, but something desgined to do that - failed : ppa-purge | 10:11 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, that it would be in either, I just did not trust you ran it or read it right | 10:11 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Fyodorovna, hmm | 10:11 |
| kDycuLaptop | I don't really know what cron is but let me check init.d | 10:11 |
| lastarms | karooga: depends on what the dependancies are. Although I would think not | 10:12 |
| Fyodorovna | !cron | kDycuLaptop | 10:12 |
| ubottu | kDycuLaptop: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 10:12 |
| kDycuLaptop | hm | 10:12 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: use cron. if you don't know cron, read up on it. init.d is much more dangerous when you have no idea what cron is | 10:12 |
| Sven_vB | lastarms, no, install started w/o problems. i checked again and the new host is even replying to ping now, just not to SSH, which might be not installed yet | 10:12 |
| kDycuLaptop | okay, let me try that. | 10:12 |
| Fyodorovna | Pr0jectRec0n, Again no biggie, there is a learning curve, we all go through it. | 10:12 |
| karooga | lastarms: I see that there are upgrades for things such as libstdc etc. | 10:12 |
| kDycuLaptop | I don't care at all how it works, I just want it to, hahah | 10:13 |
| simbageoleo | can anyone suggest a iso burning program please | 10:13 |
| kDycuLaptop | and clearly the "default" way this is set up is not working :p | 10:13 |
| lastarms | Sven_vB: if it installed no problem, then just uninstall the noveau. then it would revert to the common linux X driver | 10:13 |
| Sven_vB | lastarms, with "new host" i mean that it now uses the hostname i set, not "ubuntu", so it probably has rebooted | 10:13 |
| Sven_vB | lastarms, ok. is there a way to prevent it from installing nuveau in the first place? | 10:14 |
| lastarms | karooga: then you have to check the logs on what changed in libstdc and whether those changes will break your program... | 10:14 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: google crontab | 10:14 |
| lastarms | Sven_vB: I don't think so... you'll have to use an alternate installer or something... | 10:14 |
| lastarms | simbageoleo: ubuntu comes with one automatically | 10:15 |
| kDycuLaptop | oh boy this stuff is complicated. so I can make a crontab, which just tells my system to run this program on this display at this specified time, yeah? | 10:15 |
| simbageoleo | lastarms, oh right lol thanks | 10:15 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: yeap | 10:15 |
| kDycuLaptop | complicated. | 10:15 |
| kDycuLaptop | haha | 10:15 |
| lastarms | but since you need root for your script | 10:15 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: use crontab -e when you're root | 10:16 |
| karooga | lastarms: Ok. Would I be correct in understanding that there shouldn't be any changes in interfaces to libraries if there are just package upgrades (not dist upgrade). | 10:16 |
| kDycuLaptop | gotcha | 10:16 |
| lastarms | and then google for the command to start a script at boot | 10:16 |
| kDycuLaptop | and this will run a gui program fine? | 10:16 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: it should I think | 10:16 |
| kDycuLaptop | do you know enough about it that if I make my crontab script(? do I call it that?) I can run it by you to see if it's horribly screwy or not? haha | 10:16 |
| lastarms | karooga: packages upgrades means that there might be code changes including api changes | 10:17 |
| lastarms | karooga: if an api that you use from a package changes, then your program will fail | 10:17 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: crontab will only run the script and shouldn't screw up your system | 10:17 |
| karooga | lastarms: Ok. So is is possible to install the two versions side by side? or that not a good idea? | 10:17 |
| kDycuLaptop | okay | 10:18 |
| Luisja | forgot to ask, is an additional /boot partition really necessary while dual booting_ | 10:18 |
| lastarms | karooga: it's possible, but you will have to reference it in your program | 10:18 |
| Paddy_NI | Luisja, no | 10:18 |
| lastarms | Luisja: nope, people use a /boot partition to ensure that they didn't screw up /boot when they screw up / | 10:18 |
| simbageoleo | do i extract the iso the the cd | 10:19 |
| karooga | lastarms: Ok, that sounds more pain that just rebuilding my apps. Thanks for the help. Gonna just upgrade, hide under my blanket and see if ppl start screaming. :-) | 10:19 |
| lastarms | karooga: let's hope not haha | 10:19 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, No, just use imgburn | 10:19 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, http://www.imgburn.com/ | 10:20 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: btw, when you reply, try including the person's name. it helps a lot | 10:20 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, I am assuming you are using windows right now? | 10:20 |
| kDycuLaptop | lastarms, okay doke, can do. | 10:20 |
| simbageoleo | how do i use the terminalk to download it please | 10:21 |
| lastarms | simbageoleo: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 10:22 |
| lastarms | ubuntu should come with an iso burner | 10:22 |
| simbageoleo | lubuntu | 10:22 |
| lastarms | you just have to double click your iso, or right click it | 10:22 |
| lastarms | it should give you an option to burn the iso | 10:22 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, lubuntu should have it's own tool for buring iso | 10:22 |
| Paddy_NI | xfburn I think | 10:22 |
| Paddy_NI | Actually according to the Lord our Google xfburn is a bit messy when dealing with iso files. simbageoleo how about just installing "brasero" and using that instead | 10:25 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Why must you use the terminal to download ubuntu? | 10:25 |
| lastarms | btw, anyone here uses irssi? | 10:25 |
| === andisun is now known as netkeeper | ||
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, On and off, I still prefer xchat | 10:26 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, i have no idea on this stuff i have always had windows but hate them and all they stand for | 10:26 |
| Paddy_NI | I am sure irssi mops the floor with it but I still like it | 10:26 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, What are you trying to achieve? | 10:27 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, well i atm have lubuntu but want xubuntu as this install had a prefix error plus cant get wireless working | 10:28 |
| simbageoleo | yes i installed it with the wubi installer | 10:28 |
| * simbageoleo spanks self | 10:29 | |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, I have no idea what the "prefix" error is and I am not sure if xubuntu will solve your wifi problem | 10:29 |
| lastarms | Paddy_NI: I was hoping someone who knows about irssi could actually tell me how I can list the windows that I have | 10:29 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, How about #irssi | 10:29 |
| lastarms | oh right | 10:29 |
| Paddy_NI | :-) | 10:29 |
| lastarms | hehe... after being here for so long I forgot that usually those channels exists | 10:30 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, What spec is your computer? Are you trying to stick to lightweight desktops? | 10:30 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, That happens to me all the time :-) | 10:31 |
| simbageoleo | noob question how do i boot into xubuntu from lubuntu please | 10:32 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, If I could take time and figure out how to use "screen + irssi" properly I would probably switch full time | 10:32 |
| simbageoleo | from a disc | 10:33 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, You cannot boot into xubuntu from lubuntu | 10:33 |
| lastarms | Paddy_NI: I use tmux, although screen is as easy. Just open it, and then leave it open. exit using ctrl a + d | 10:33 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Have you downloaded and burned the iso? | 10:33 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, yes i have | 10:33 |
| Paddy_NI | lastarms, I will have to come back to you on that later :-) | 10:33 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Okay do you know how to set your boot order in the bios of your pc? | 10:34 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, yes i do and have done that | 10:34 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, then have you put the cd in the tray and reboot your computer ? | 10:35 |
| hagbard__ | i have problem with installation of gtk on ubuntu.someone can help me? | 10:35 |

| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, yes it does | 10:39 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, How did you burn the iso? | 10:39 |
| Paddy_NI | I am curious because only a very short time ago you where asking how to burn it? | 10:39 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, using xfburn | 10:40 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Are you currently using the computer you wish to boot the cd from? | 10:40 |
| Paddy_NI | Do chat on irc that is | 10:40 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, yes i am | 10:40 |

| mark06_away | what's a nice and easy gui tool for taking snapshots of disk partitions for possibly restoring them later? I want to make backups of my ubuntu installation for further use in case it gets messed up | 10:46 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, clonezilla is pretty good | 10:47 |
| simbageoleo | Paddy_NI, when i select cd it flashes up for a sec then goes back to the boot screen its a packard bell e2310 | 10:47 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, I am sure there are hundreds of alternative methods. That all depend on what way you wish to do it | 10:48 |
| kDycuLaptop | lastarms, okay so I have my root crontab using the @reboot instead of a specific timing, and it's still crashing out. | 10:48 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Try downloading and burning another fresh iso | 10:48 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, And use brasero this time | 10:48 |
| Paddy_NI | simbageoleo, Basically once brasero is installed you would open the iso with it and burn it | 10:49 |
| mark06_away | Paddy_NI: I wanna do what I said, that's it... backups of ubuntu installation I can restore if I feel like it's messed | 10:49 |
| mark06_away | Paddy_NI: it'd be convenient if I could use the program on windows... no need to boot a live cd or something.... because on windows, ubuntu partitions are not in use | 10:50 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, Clonezilla is probably going to be your best option. I will have a quick google | 10:50 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, Not sure if it can clone a partition from the same disk whilst it is in use | 10:51 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, This is just of the top of my head | 10:51 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: are you using root? | 10:52 |
| mark06_away | ok, I'm going through their webpage, thanks for the suggestion anyway | 10:52 |
| Paddy_NI | mark06_away, This is a good guide for http://www.howtoforge.com/back-up-restore-hard-drives-and-partitions-with-clonezilla-live | 10:52 |
| lastarms | kDycuLaptop: As in, are you using sudo crontab -e ? | 10:52 |
| kDycuLaptop | to edit the crontab, yeah | 10:52 |
| kDycuLaptop | yes | 10:52 |
| kDycuLaptop | er lastarms yeah, I am | 10:52 |
| lastarms | hrmmm... | 10:52 |
| lastarms | I don't know why then... | 10:52 |
| Paddy_NI | gotta talk to the gardener just a sec | 10:52 |
| kDycuLaptop | well crud | 10:52 |
| lastarms | unless, it might be waiting for something to load before it can run | 10:52 |
| lastarms | maybe try adding a delay in your script? | 10:53 |
| kDycuLaptop | how do I do that? | 10:53 |
| lastarms | delay it for ~1 min before running | 10:53 |
| lastarms | bash script? | 10:53 |
| kDycuLaptop | yeah | 10:53 |
| lastarms | sleep 1m | 10:53 |
| lastarms | that will make it sleep for 1 min | 10:53 |
| lastarms | or sleep 30 for 30 sec | 10:53 |
| kDycuLaptop | kk I'll try that | 10:53 |
| lastarms | good luck | 10:54 |

| nikitosiusis | I just can't figure what package does this | 11:19 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: it's probably just a setting umuting one of the spdif's or whatever usually re-enables jacksense | 11:19 |
| nikitosiusis | well I tried all ticks there and nothing changes anything( | 11:21 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: you can try #also or the forums or askubuntu | 11:22 |
| nikitosiusis | Can you tell me what package could be upgraded and lead to this? Something with alsa? | 11:23 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: most likely | 11:23 |
| nikitosiusis | only gstreamer1.0-alsa was updated( | 11:24 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: that shouldn't do it any other "sound" packages ? | 11:24 |
| nikitosiusis | histo, http://pastebin.com/a4F2K2WM it will be very difficult to find :) | 11:26 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: I'm not seeing anything looks like just codecs | 11:27 |

| e^0 | any ubuntu users running awesome wm ? | 11:28 |
| nikitosiusis | I tried old kernel already, no more ideas( | 11:28 |
| histo | e^0: I have in the past | 11:28 |
| e^0 | hi histo ;) | 11:28 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: I gave you my ideas | 11:28 |
| e^0 | histo: does it work out of the box or it needs some fixing ? currently i am on gentoo and want to use awesoem 3.5.5 on ubuntu | 11:29 |
| histo | e^0: yes it works oob | 11:29 |
| histo | e^0: I went to it for a bit when I strayed from i3 for awhile. However, now i'm happily back with i3 | 11:29 |
| e^0 | histo: ok :) | 11:30 |
| histo | gentoo > ubuntu interesting.... | 11:30 |
| e^0 | histo: why interesting ? | 11:31 |
| nikitosiusis | gonna downgrade unity then( | 11:31 |
| e^0 | histo: mostly people migrate from ubuntu-> gentoo that's why :P | 11:31 |
| histo | e^0: just odd. | 11:31 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: unity has nothing to do with your sound system | 11:31 |
| nikitosiusis | same as other packages:) | 11:31 |
| histo | nikitosiusis: try in the forums or askubuntu or in #alsa perhaps you will find your answer | 11:31 |
| e^0 | histo: because some thing's doesnt support in gentoo out of the box, there are lot's of fixes to be done which i don't like, it's like waste of time. | 11:32 |
| e^0 | the best example is can't run docker under gentoo hardened + zfs :( | 11:32 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 11:33 |
| e^0 | tried a complete day but no result, atlast the responsible gentoo dev tol still the fix is yet to be found :( | 11:33 |
| e^0 | histo: so now i have to use ubuntu. | 11:34 |
| histo | e^0: don't have to but... I understand what you are saying. | 11:37 |
| e^0 | histo: just to have docker under gentoo i had waited more than 3 months, that's like the test of patience for me :/ | 11:38 |
| wadie | I have a shell script that I have executed,but I don't know how to pin that script to the taskbar ? | 11:38 |

| histo | kDycuLaptop: setup a program name where? | 11:45 |
| e^0 | histo: apart from that my concern recently was due to high I/O as i am using KDE+awesome the disk failure probability was great for old HDD | 11:45 |
| kDycuLaptop | like right now I run this program by navigating to it's director | 11:45 |
| e^0 | s/great/high | 11:45 |
| kDycuLaptop | *directory and typing | 11:46 |
| kDycuLaptop | "./run pinbox blah blah" | 11:46 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: add the directory to your path | 11:46 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: then you can just type pinbox blah blah. | 11:46 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, okay thanks :] | 11:46 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: or in your ~/.bashrc add an alias | 11:46 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: add soemthing like alias pb='/whatever/some/place/pinbox blah blah' | 11:47 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, in the bashrc file? | 11:48 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i add 4 ubuntu iso's in multibootusb tool? | 11:49 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: yes | 11:49 |
| histo | lotuspsychje: use YUMI | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !info yumi | 11:50 |
| ubottu | Package yumi does not exist in trusty | 11:50 |
| histo | lotuspsychje: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: lemme lookup tnx | 11:50 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, so the line looks like alias pinbox='/root/pinbox/bin/pinbox' ?? | 11:50 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: yes but you won't have access to /root as a regular user | 11:51 |
| kDycuLaptop | oh. what do I do then? | 11:51 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: put the script or program somewhere more sane | 11:52 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: installing, looks promising tnx | 11:52 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, can I do that after it's installed? | 11:53 |
| simbageoleo | how do i enable wireless on my belkin card | 11:53 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: is it a script or a binary? | 11:54 |

| kDycuLaptop | histo, uh. yes. how'd you know? | 11:55 |
| histo | 11:55 | |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, it's been a constant headache for the last three weeks of my life trying to get this running :/ | 11:56 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: you can move the scripts to /usr/local/bin if you want | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: is there a password for yumi, it says root pass is wrong? | 11:56 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: or use .bashrc alias those are your options | 11:56 |
| histo | lotuspsychje: no should be your sudo password. if not try launching it with gksu yumi or whatever. | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: kk | 11:57 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, just move the whole /root/pinbox/scripts folder to /usr/local/bin, and that should work? | 11:57 |
| kDycuLaptop | or the /root/pinbox/bin folder? | 11:58 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: idk what else is in pinbox directory? | 11:58 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: just make an alias and move the pinbox directory your users home | 11:58 |
| guest-Fmcz0g | mame maodo né | 11:59 |
| histo | guest-Fmcz0g: english? | 11:59 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo: the whole pinbox directory into my home? | 11:59 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: yes | 12:00 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: why did you put it in root in the first place? | 12:00 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, it installs there automatically | 12:01 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: can only find YUMI gui, doesnt wanna gksudo yumi | 12:01 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: paclage not found | 12:01 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, trust me, if I had a choice during the install I'd put it somewhere *not* there :p | 12:01 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: do you run the program as a regular user or as root? | 12:02 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, well, in order to get to the program directory, I have to be a root user, so yeah I have to run it as root | 12:04 |
| rhqq | hello. is there a way to disable editor select menu while editing ie crontab for the first time? | 12:05 |
| rhqq | globally | 12:05 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: well you could try adding an alias to your .bashrc of alias sudo='sudo ' then also add your alias pinbox='/root/bin/pinbox' that should allow you to run sudo with an alias from your users .bashrc and may work as root | 12:05 |
| histo | rhqq: set your default editor first | 12:05 |

| rhqq | yes, but it doesnt change a thing | 12:08 |
| histo | rhqq: it should | 12:08 |
| histo | rhqq: it will override their selected_editor | 12:09 |
| rhqq | ha, weird | 12:09 |
| rhqq | normal user -> editor set, crontab -e = works | 12:10 |
| rhqq | root user -> editor set, crontab -e = works | 12:10 |
| rhqq | normal user -> editor set (globally in /etc/bash.bashrc), sudo crontab -e = picker | 12:10 |
| histo | rhqq: is /etc/profile sourcing the global bashrc ? | 12:11 |
| rhqq | it's by default | 12:12 |
| rhqq | hm, unless | 12:12 |
| rhqq | sudo crontab -e doesn't do the initial | 12:12 |
| rhqq | bingo | 12:13 |
| rhqq | sudo bash -c 'echo $EDITOR' returns empty | 12:13 |

| histo | g105b: I'd love to see that work. | 12:33 |
| g105b | histo: obviously there is a local copy involved, but it is abstracted by the "make available offline" checkbox. | 12:33 |
| histo | etronik: I'd suspect that or powersupply from what you are saying. | 12:33 |
| etronik | g105b: that's two features of windows - 1. map net drive and 2. make network srive available offline (basically a copy) | 12:33 |
| etronik | histo: power supply !? | 12:34 |
| histo | g105b: so just rsync the network'd version | 12:34 |

| Obhur | histo: thanks | 12:57 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, pastebin.com/mTqASqfb | 12:57 |
| svip | histo: Hmm, it would appear I cannot. | 12:57 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: do you see the difference there? you are calling automount.py in crontab and you typed autostart.sh in your command line... Also do you realize how often that will run in crontab? | 12:58 |
| Donnylad | histo, still getting FarmVille 2 is here and it's in 3D! | 12:58 |
| Donnylad | To play you'll need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player. | 12:58 |
| histo | Donnylad: you have the most recent version of flash installed | 12:59 |
| histo | Donnylad: you could try the open source flash plugin and see if it works there. | 12:59 |
| rhqq | histo: i found the issue - it's ubuntus lack of /etc/bashrc file that is called when bash is ran in interactive mode | 12:59 |
| Donnylad | i ran the apt-get that you sent and it did say i have | 12:59 |
| histo | rhqq: ughh | 13:00 |
| rhqq | it has only /etc/bash.bashrc | 13:00 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, I didn't put automount.py there though | 13:00 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: well it's there. now. | 13:00 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: compare sudo crontab -l to just crontab -l the one with sudo is root's crontab the regular is just your users. | 13:00 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, there is no crontab for pinbox | 13:01 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: K well someone or the script put that automount.py there. Which will run every minute | 13:02 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, is that a bad thing? | 13:02 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: What is the current issue then? | 13:02 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, it does attempt to boot on startup but crashes out | 13:02 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: I have no idea what that script does or why it would need to run every minute. | 13:03 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, it only works if I launch it from the cli | 13:03 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: What only works if you launch what from the cli? They are two different commands. | 13:03 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, the command to launch pinbox only works if I do it from the CLI | 13:04 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: What is pinbox and what do you mean by launching it? | 13:04 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: is it some kind of interactive application? or just sits in the background doing it's thing? | 13:05 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, pinbox is the game/emulator that I am have trouble running at startup. by launching it, I mean by typing the ./run pinbox -bpp 16 -fullscreen command to start the program | 13:05 |
| kDycuLaptop | it's interactive with the actual real life pinball machine it's hooked up to | 13:05 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: Why are you trying to call it with cron? | 13:05 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, cause someone else told me that was the way to call GUI apps on startup | 13:06 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: Does the application need X to run? | 13:06 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, no it doesn't, it can be run without a graphical environment | 13:06 |
| TeraJL | hi there, i know i can control the volume per app, but is there any way to switch the output per app? (i have 2 outputs, the bluetooth speaker and laptop speaker) | 13:07 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: okay well remove whatever garbage you put in root's crontab and then call the app at the bottom of /etc/rc.local | 13:07 |
| svip | hesto: I think I might have figured it out: There are apparently so many files in /tmp that it takes ages just to ls. | 13:07 |
| histo | svip: you can delete them all. They are normally removed on reboot anyhow. | 13:08 |
| svip | Yes, I was just OVERWHELMED by the amount of files (and so apparently was the system), I ran rm -vr tmp/* 5 minutes ago; no output yet. | 13:08 |
| ldiamond | Why can't I see dd progress when do kill - usr1 in 14.04 | 13:10 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, okay I did that and rebooted and it still crashed out. | 13:10 |
| histo | svip: what all is writing there? | 13:10 |
| histo | ldiamond: you should be able to | 13:10 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: what crashed out? | 13:10 |
| histo | and what does crashing out mean? I can't see your screen. | 13:10 |
| svip | histo: Some files named sess_NUMBER | 13:10 |
| Obhur | histo: i think i found the problem | 13:11 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, the pinbox program I'm trying to get to run properly at startup. it gives me a black screen for a few seconds and then returns to the GUI | 13:12 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: what GUI do you have starting on boot? | 13:12 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, XFCE-4 | 13:12 |
| Obhur | histo: i have an Intel Core i7 processor, i think Ubuntu does not support it, only AMD64 right? | 13:13 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: do you have the user auto logging in to xfce4? | 13:13 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, sure do. | 13:13 |
| guerard | sexe | 13:13 |
| E3MyBodyIsReady | Obhur: No, it supports it. AMD developed x86-64 first, so their name gets thrown around | 13:14 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: Application Menu > Settings > Settings Manager and choose Session and Startup click the tab Applicaiton Autostart and you can add a program to autostart | 13:14 |
| E3MyBodyIsReady | Intel adopted AMD's instruction set this time around | 13:14 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: you can remove the stuff from rc.local now... that I understand what you are trying to accomplish | 13:15 |
| Obhur | E3MyBodyIsReady: hmmm, ok. back to research then :-) | 13:15 |
| timkofu | is anyone else unable to install anthing right now? | 13:15 |
| timkofu | it seems all ubuntu repos are resolving to ipv6 addresses that dont work | 13:16 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, pinbox does not show up in that list, is there a way to get it to do so? | 13:16 |
| histo | timkofu: nope works fine here. | 13:17 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: click add then add an entry for pinbox with your command that you type at the terminal to get it to launch. | 13:17 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: Are you using sudo at the command line to launch it? | 13:17 |
| === WLM|eten is now known as WLM | ||

| E3MyBodyIsReady | Obhur: I use it in VMWare Fusion | 13:25 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, I'm a bit confused I think... I thought I was running xfce but I think you are right, I must be running lxde | 13:25 |

| === dilyanbg is now known as dilyan_bg | ||
| histo | kDycuLaptop: Okay there are several ways to do this. Lets try editing your ~/.config/openbox/autostart file add your command there and make sure the line ends with a & symbol | 13:27 |
| Obhur | E3MyBodyIsReady: i am trying to make a live USB so i can use the full computer, and not have two OS working at the same time | 13:27 |
| timkofu | histo: well, it's a ramnode vps. I guess maybe they are the ones mucking about | 13:28 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: after you add your app there just log out and back in to lubuntu | 13:28 |

| g105b | http://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/appindicators/ links broken on page | 13:29 |
| histo | svip: is this a web server? | 13:29 |
| svip | histo: Yes. | 13:29 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo is it normal/okay for that file to not exist yet? | 13:30 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: does the openbox directory exist? | 13:30 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, yeah it does | 13:30 |
| svip | histo: Are you implying this is normal behaviour for a web server? Or are you implying it might be overloaded with sessions? | 13:30 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: yeah that's fine create an autostart file there. This will be the easiest way for me to explain how to do this. | 13:30 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: that file gets called when openbox starts. Openbox is the default window manager used by LXDE your desktop environment. | 13:31 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: so in the file you would put /home/pinbox/pinbox... & | 13:31 |
| histo | svip: the later | 13:31 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, okay done and done. logged out and in. | 13:32 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: did it start? | 13:32 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, nooope. | 13:32 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, it didn't even try to start | 13:32 |
| svip | histo: Any suggestions (or references to somewhere) on how to prevent this? | 13:32 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: edit the file and add 'sleep 5 &&' to the front of the /home/pinbox line without quotes | 13:33 |
| kDycuLaptop | okay | 13:33 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: or to clarify lets do (sleep 5 && /home/pinbbox/pinbox...) & just like that | 13:34 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: that will wait 5 seconds to ensure the desktop loads then run your command | 13:34 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo that didn't do either... maybe I'm doing this wrong? I put in sleep 5 && cd /home/pinbox/pinbox/bin && ./run pinbox -bpp 16 -fullscreen | 13:36 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: '(sleep 5 && /home/pinbox/pinbox/bin/pinbox -bpp 16 -fullscreen) &' try adding everything inside the quotes there including the () | 13:37 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, still didn't launch. | 13:39 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: are you typing ./run pinbox in a terminal to launch this scrip? | 13:40 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, yes I am | 13:40 |

| histo | kDycuLaptop: open it with an editor | 13:54 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, like a regular text editor like leafpad or something? | 13:55 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: yeah leafpad /home/pinbox/pinbox/bin/run | 13:55 |
| TomyLobo | "executable" in linux doesnt mean it's native or some other binary code | 13:56 |
| TomyLobo | it can also be a script with a so-called shebang (like "#!/bin/sh") at the top, which tells the kernel which interpreter to launch | 13:56 |
| kDycuLaptop | histo, all that does is spit out a couple of strange characters and ELF | 13:56 |
| histo | kDycuLaptop: ughh | 13:57 |
| kDycuLaptop | (strange character that don't seem to copy over to pastebin | 13:57 |

| daftykins | Vivekananda: what kind of services are you meant to be able to access inside the work LAN? what was the one you were testing to begin with? | 16:24 |
| Vivekananda | now the funny thing is after a VPN connection says 'okay' I can neither ping nor traceroute to a any machines but I can rdp | 16:24 |
| daftykins | maybe it's just firewall'd to the eyeballs | 16:24 |
| Vivekananda | so I was going to ask you is there a way that I cannot ping or traceroute anything but I can still rdp. It would seem very very counterintuitive | 16:25 |
| vishal_ | my external usb ethernal is not working in Ubuntu 14.04LTS desktop | 16:26 |
| zerowaitstate | Vivekananda: ICMP may be blocked in the VPN acl | 16:26 |
| zerowaitstate | Vivekananda: ping and traceroute require ICMP to work | 16:27 |
| Fyodorovna | vishal_, Can you run lsusb and tell usa the description of the hardware? | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | vishal_: do you mean Ethernet? | 16:27 |
| Fyodorovna | us* | 16:27 |
| Vivekananda | hmmm that is new to me | 16:27 |
| vishal_ | ActionParsnip : Yes, USB Ethernet | 16:28 |
| Vivekananda | zerowaitstate: but still something to know/learn. Btw can you guys tell me if reimmer is a light weight rdp or should i use the rdesktop cli for a light weight client | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | vishal_: if you run: sudo lshw -C network do you see the Ethernet chip? | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | vishal_: does it show up in: lsusb | 16:28 |

| Vivekananda | daftykins: yes I understand that too but at the same time I wanted to understand how to troubleshoot such issues. From whaat I knew, ping and tracing were fundamental operations that always help and I never thought they can be superceded and a higher level functionality be possible but they would not be possible | 16:36 |

| daftykins | Vivekananda: ok, i think you need to understand networking far better than you do now - and that is miles beyond the scope of a channel for support of an OS - try asking in #networking if they have any resources for teaching. | 16:36 |

| hsnmck | Hi, I have a lenovo thinkpad x201 tablet i7-2.0GHz with 4GB ram running Lubuntu. I'm upgrading my hardisk to an ssd and I'm wondering which version of Ubuntu should I install. Is it better to install Ubuntu 14.04 because it's the newest or I'm better installing the 12.04 because my computer is a bit old | 16:41 |
| === dummy is now known as Guest51926 | ||
| Vivekananda | sudormrf: apparently the stupid connection allows rdp but no ping , traceroute and when I mentioned that I assumed ping/tr to be fundamental operations but rdp to be a higher level one then daftykins advised me to learn more about networking on a networking channel :). That is the gist of it | 16:41 |
| Fyodorovna | g105b, YOU can use any icon you want, right click it and click on it-properties, than click on the icon pictured there and it will open the icons on your computer. YOU can have any you want say a down load and navigate to where it is same methid. | 16:42 |
| sudormrf | Vivekananda, let me rephrase, were you able to get ip forwarding sorted? | 16:42 |
| g105b | Fyodorovna: I'm talking about unity panel indicators, not unity launcher. | 16:43 |
| daftykins | sudormrf: he's unfortunately continuing with offtopic conversation despite his task being resolved, we shouldn't encourage it really | 16:43 |
| sudormrf | daftykins, ok | 16:43 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: sorry but the ubuntu support involvement of your query is over, you can go to #networking if you want more. | 16:43 |
| daftykins | that query has no place here | 16:44 |
| Fyodorovna | beatnick, Has to go through the ubuntu repos to get to you, and be considered as a bug by them. Be careful looking for bugs for libreoffice on the net, there is a chain of command so to speak. | 16:44 |
| beatnick | Fyodorovna, thank you! | 16:45 |
| Fyodorovna | g105b, It would help if you said what exact app, is it the HD's icons....etc | 16:45 |
| Vivekananda | daftykins: of course I agree. I am already on networking. btw is rdesktop lighter than reimmer ? | 16:45 |
| Fyodorovna | g105b, details and context rule here. | 16:45 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: i already responded to that earlier. | 16:46 |
| Fyodorovna | beatnick, You're welcome!! | 16:46 |
| g105b | Fyodorovna: I'm building a simple app in python that requires a Unity panel indicator icon, and I wonder where the list of available icons is? There seems to be a few built into the OS; indicator-message, indicator-sound, etc. | 16:46 |
| wh0ami | when i try to install build-essential it says: build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed | 16:47 |

| mexi_d3 | etronik: Ubuntu.com | 16:49 |
| jhutchins | hsnmck: There is very seldom any regression in linux, once something is fixed it usually stays fixed. | 16:49 |
| etronik | mexi_d3: can't find link for older versions | 16:50 |
| mexi_d3 | etronik: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/ | 16:50 |
| etronik | got it thanks | 16:50 |
| Fyodorovna | g105b, Not sure if there is any specifics about that left panel icons, my comment was really on a app you had put on the desktop and wanted to change the icon. | 16:50 |
| jhutchins | hsnmck: That said, 14.04 is fairly new and has some rough edges, but I would go ahead with it, as anything you have to mess with will be supported for years to come. | 16:50 |
| sydney | hsnmck: 12.04 and 14.04 have very simmilar specs. | 16:50 |
| mexi_d3 | etronik: 14.04 works pretty well actually. | 16:50 |
| sydney | hsnmck: just go with 14.04 ;) | 16:50 |
| etronik | possibly but I need 13.10 for specific recovery purposes | 16:51 |
| jhutchins | hsnmck: One reason to stay up-to-date on a community supported product is that the community tends to forget how to solve upgrade issues as time passes. | 16:51 |
| hsnmck | jhutchins, sydney, ok thanks, I'll give it a try, I was worrying it will be slower than the 12.04 cause my pc is a bit old | 16:51 |
| jhutchins | hsnmck: No, it shouldn't be. We are not in a phase of adding features to the kernel that burden an older system. | 16:52 |

| zergut_ | notebook has separate lighting adjust buttons but it doesnt work in ubuntu | 17:09 |
| zergut_ | is there special dirver for it? | 17:10 |
| genii | etronik: When you made the move to the new system, you just unplugged hd and replugged it into the new one? Or some other method | 17:10 |
| hotfries | **** | 17:11 |
| etronik | genii: basically it was that yeah (I think changing the screen assembly does not count), oh and : old system had 4 Gb RAm but only saw 3 (chipset limitation), and so I also the new one to 3 Gb RAM | 17:12 |
| genii | Hm. | 17:14 |
| chrstphrchvz | zergut_: do you mean that the backlight keys aren't just function keys or arrow keys? What model is your computer? | 17:15 |
| genii | etronik: Does it actually give some error when it starts with acpid, or it just sits there frozen? | 17:16 |
| genii | meh, afk, work | 17:16 |
| etronik | well it I don't see any error msg, just sits there... but theres that quiet boot option on grub thingy | 17:17 |
| etronik | should I try to remove that quet option and see ? | 17:17 |
| chrstphrchvz | yann_: I don't think Canonical has published the list yet, but here's a post assuring there will be certified hardware: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/04/16/ubuntu-14-04-desktop-trusted-os-for-consumers-and-business/ | 17:18 |
| zergut_ | chrstphrchvz: hp-15 d050sr | 17:18 |
| yann_ | I guess hardware supported by 12.4 should support 14.4 too :) | 17:19 |
| mexi_d3 | yann_: Unless 14.04 dropped it for being too old. | 17:20 |
| === DarthFluffy_ is now known as ChkDigit | ||
| chrstphrchvz | yann_: that's what I would assume, but we have seen hardware "break" on newer kernels, etc. 12.04 certified shouldn't be that old. | 17:20 |
| chrstphrchvz | zergut_: It looks like the backlight keys are overlaid on the function keys, so in Linux it might work as long as you hold down the Fn key (next to left Ctrl) | 17:21 |
| genii | etronik: Yes, may want to try without the "quiet". It also occurs to me that possible the default video output is to the external connector. | 17:22 |
| zergut_ | chrstphrchvz: no, it doest work | 17:22 |
| etronik | genii: I did connect an external monitor to it ust in case... nothing happens on that side... but will ty without the quiet | 17:23 |

| gilligan_ | Does anyone have any ideas on that ? | 17:27 |
| chrstphrchvz | zergut_: could you paste the output of "sudo lshw", I'm not sure what chipset that model has. | 17:28 |

| jhutchins | penncil: Not necessarily. You could have 386 installed on an amd64 chipset. | 17:35 |
| jhutchins | penncil: In fact, unless the system is ancient, chances are it's amd64. | 17:36 |
| penncil | i686 is listed alsso | 17:36 |
| genii | etronik: Looks like that model had variations of video card, some had Intel, some had NVidia. Did you have some stuff hard-coded in xorg.conf or such for a specific card? | 17:36 |
| === pixelfog_ is now known as pixelfog | ||

| zergut_ | chrstphrchvz: thank you very much | 17:41 |

| TJ- | wget: OK, then I'd recommend installing via the "Try Ubuntu" method and starting an X terminal (Alt+Ctrl+T) so you can monitor the installer from a shell, then click the "Install Ubuntu" icon... when/if it gets stuck, you can do diagnosis from the shell, like checking the active processes, looking at the installer logs ("/var/log/*") etc. | 17:44 |
| etronik | genii: no idea | 17:44 |

| Fyodorovna | PCworker, sudo update-grub however it has to be in the OS you see at the top of the grub menu with no mods having been made to the menus order | 17:52 |

| psycho_acoustiq | ubuntu server installer isn't detecting my PATA drives | 18:04 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: Is any other OS detecting them? | 18:04 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, yeah Ubuntu Server | 18:04 |
| daftykins | wat. | 18:04 |
| daftykins | either it is or it isn't? :) | 18:05 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, they are there, the installer just doesn't see them for some reason | 18:05 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: What version of the Ubuntu server installer? Could these drives have at any time been part of a FakeRAID array? | 18:05 |
| psycho_acoustiq | two are SATA and another two (including the root drive) are on a promise fast track controller | 18:05 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, I've tried both 12.04 and 14.04 | 18:06 |
| daftykins | psycho_acoustiq: sounds like you need something installed/loaded for said controller | 18:06 |
| psycho_acoustiq | The installer environmen, kernel etc detects them just find | 18:06 |
| psycho_acoustiq | I can pop over to a shell and mount them, fdisk, etc | 18:07 |
| daftykins | are they setup as some kind of RAID or just independant? | 18:07 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: I asked two questiosns. You only answered one of them. | 18:07 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, three of them, one PATA and two SATA are a software RAID | 18:08 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, another PATA is the intended installation target | 18:08 |
| wget | Found the bug. Ubuntu doesn't support already partitioned GPT disks. | 18:09 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: mdraid? | 18:09 |
| wget | os-prber was hanging. | 18:09 |
| wget | *os-prober | 18:09 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, the partitioning part of the ubuntu installer only shows the RAID device and the two SATA drives | 18:09 |
| Jordan_U | wget: Ubuntu certainly does support already partitioned GPT disks, so there's something more going on here to trigger this bug. Please file a bug report. | 18:10 |
| undersound | Anyone know how to restore GDM without having a network connection? | 18:10 |
| daftykins | undersound: what happened to it? | 18:11 |

| undersound | daftykins: i was doing an update to the system, think I might have interrupted that (not sure though). restarted system and then login screen freezed | 18:12 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: Are these "Software RAID arrays" using mdraid? | 18:13 |
| daftykins | undersound: ok, try hitting a TTY with ctrl+alt+f1 and running "sudo apt-get -f install" after logging in | 18:13 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, yes mdraid | 18:13 |
| nicomachus | I'm having some issues with SUPER slow UI in VB, running 14.04. I tried enabling 3D Acceleration, which just caused Ubuntu to crash upon login. | 18:13 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: Is it possible that at any point in the past these drives were part of a FakeRAID (dmraid) array? | 18:14 |
| Bobster884 | Hey everbody. Im using ubuntu 12.04 lts. I was downloading something and forgot that my HDD was full, the desktop started lagging and now i can not log in after restarting. I deleted about 1GB of stuff with the terminal, but after typing in my password, the desktop wont load. Any tips? | 18:14 |
| genii | VB? | 18:14 |
| daftykins | virtualbox i believe, genii | 18:14 |
| undersound | daftykins: ok done 0 upgraded 0 newly installed etc etc | 18:14 |
| daftykins | undersound: right, nothing left from running updates - you'd need a functioning internet connection right now for my next idea - is that not available? | 18:15 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobster884, Was the delete done in root, there is a trash in home and root. | 18:15 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, Nah, always mdraid, this is an existing 12.04LTS server setup, but what changed is the PATA disks got moved to an add-on controller instead of the onboard since I last ran an installer | 18:15 |
| arsam | PLease test this little app: https://github.com/alireza-amirsamimi/persiandm and let me now if there is bug or improvement. | 18:15 |
| undersound | daftykins: no it's not | 18:16 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobster884, Are you sure you actually deleted and not just moved the data? | 18:16 |
| daftykins | undersound: how come? | 18:16 |
| arsam | there's some screenshot here: http://amirsamimi.mihanblog.com/post/11 | 18:16 |
| Bobster884 | I used rm | 18:16 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, the OS detected them seamlessly, it's just now running the installer the PATA disk don't show up | 18:16 |
| Bobster884 | and logged in before with my account that is root | 18:16 |
| daftykins | arsam: that is inappropriate for this channel | 18:16 |
| Bobster884 | when i used ls after rm, the file was gone | 18:17 |
| Bobster884 | did i maybe move it to the trash? | 18:17 |
| undersound | daftykins: i'm not sure | 18:17 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, I was hoping there was an easy/well known work-around | 18:17 |
| helo_n | Hello, I am trying to migrate my OS to a new drive. is there any noob friendly tool for doing that? | 18:17 |
| undersound | daftykins: i tried to add a wireless connection in /etc/network/interfaces but no luck | 18:18 |
| daftykins | undersound: is it a laptop you could plug into a router direct temporarily? | 18:18 |
| Asterisks | helo_n: do you want to migrate everything or just a single partition? | 18:19 |
| undersound | daftykins: yes I can use ethernet cable, sec | 18:19 |
| Bobster884 | Fyodorovna, i used the "rm" after logging in with my root account. After using "ls" the files were gone from that directory | 18:20 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: Just to be sure, please pastebin the output of "sudo dmraid -r". | 18:21 |
| helo_n | well, there is only a single partition on this drive and it is the drive I boot to.. so yes, migrating everything | 18:21 |

| === jono is now known as Guest90711 | ||
| Fyodorovna | Bobster884, hope that is adequate. | 18:22 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, the machine's not bootable right now w/o the installer, but an "md127" device is available in the partitioner | 18:23 |
| undersound | daftykins: ok ethernet is connected | 18:23 |
| psycho_acoustiq | or something like that | 18:24 |
| daftykins | undersound: i'd run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 18:24 |
| Jordan_U | psycho_acoustiq: I think you have stale mdraid metadata on these drives (nothing to do with them being PATA, or connected to a new controller). You should remove this stale metadata with "sudo dmraid -x". | 18:25 |
| Bobster884 | Well, what do i do now? When i login with my normal user, the background and the cursor will load, but nothing else. If i use the guest account, the screen will be completely black | 18:26 |

| sydney | Does anyone know if Ez Cap will work on ubuntu? Has anyone tried it? | 18:42 |
| elricsfate | Does anyone know how to make modifications to Byobu's keyset? | 18:42 |
| elricsfate | And does anyone have Byobu working fully with Putty or Kitty? | 18:42 |
| elricsfate | I've tried #byobu for over a day with no luck. | 18:42 |
| Bobster884 | After typing in the password, the login GUI will go away, the background will stay and i can move the cursor, but nothing more loads | 18:43 |
| zerowaitstate | elricsfate: maybe in ~/.byobu/keybindings ? | 18:43 |
| Pici | elricsfate: Putty shouldn't be interfering with your use of byobu. | 18:43 |
| elricsfate | Pici, Well, something is and it's widely reported as well | 18:43 |
| elricsfate | Pici, There are a number of issues which I have fixed, such as UTF8 not being set in putty and the incorrect TERM being sent | 18:44 |
| sydney | Bobster884: Can you open the terminal,or right click? | 18:44 |
| daftykins | undersound: ok back | 18:44 |
| elricsfate | Pici, Previous to this I was unable to use the f keys at all | 18:44 |
| undersound | daftykins: ok | 18:44 |
| elricsfate | Now I can use the F keys but not along with anything such as shift, ctrl, or alt. | 18:44 |
| elricsfate | Either nothing happens, it just outputs a letter, or the same thing as pressing the button with no modifiers happens. | 18:45 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobster884, I think you may be starting to realize the way you have run this computer was not best. If you had a clone, you would be set, filling the HD is another mistake. | 18:45 |
| Bobster884 | sydney: rightclick no, termianl via ctrl alt f1 yes | 18:45 |
| elricsfate | So for example I can't use ctrl+shift+f3 or f4 to move windows. | 18:45 |
| zerowaitstate | elricsfate: what is your terminal emulation set to in putty? | 18:45 |
| daftykins | undersound: can you run "ls -a ~/" to see if there's a file called .Xauthority or similar? | 18:45 |
| Pici | elricsfate: /36 | 18:45 |
| Pici | er, sorry. | 18:45 |
| tk1 | anybody about login keyring popup ? | 18:45 |
| elricsfate | zerowaitstate, Currently set to "putty-256color" | 18:45 |
| elricsfate | zerowaitstate, Within byoby (tmux backend) it's set to screen-256color | 18:46 |
| elricsfate | I've also attempted switching different keyboard/function key types. No dice. | 18:46 |
| iceburnt | what should I do with this? :unable to lock with the directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another using it? | 18:46 |
| sydney | Bobster884: Not ctrl+alt+T? | 18:46 |
| undersound | daftykins: no .Xauthority file. .xine xsession-errors | 18:46 |
| holstein | iceburnt: see if another program is using it, and close it if so | 18:46 |
| psycho_acoustiq | Jordan_U, I got it, but it wasn't the dmraid command, the lone PATA disk was showing up a "promist fast track RAID member" because in order to get even single disks to boot from that particular controller, you have to make them part of an array | 18:47 |
| daftykins | undersound: hmm see if there's anything gdm related in xsession-errors | 18:47 |
| elricsfate | zerowaitstate, Also, when making changes to that file, do I simply put my definitions under the source? | 18:47 |
| daftykins | psycho_acoustiq: i nearly suggested that, you often have to configure single disks as JBOD | 18:47 |
| elricsfate | zerowaitstate, I'm not sure if I first need to unbind any default shortcuts | 18:47 |

| daftykins | from what host OS? | 19:18 |
| mwally | From 14.04 as well | 19:18 |
| holstein | mwally: i dont.. i just do the install to the stick, and put grub right on the stick.. | 19:18 |
| holstein | !mini | 19:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 19:19 |
| holstein | !alternate | 19:19 |
| ubottu | The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD | 19:19 |
| holstein | mwally: because the alternate was discontinued, i use the mini iso to have more control over where grub goes | 19:19 |
| mwally | holstein, I tried to install to the USB directly from the normal desktop install DVD, but after 20 hours it had just finished copying the files and had not yet begun to install anything. Any idea what I did wrong? | 19:20 |
| holstein | mwally: maybe, nothing. could be the stick is bad/failing.. could be soemthing with the USB bus.. or hardware | 19:20 |

| skfax_ | kittykitty: Is that what I want to do? I just want to run 64-bit GCC on a 64-bit machine | 19:33 |
| holstein | trijntje: i just install.. though, you can do that without swap, and use ext2.. these days those are so inexpensive, it may not be worth the tweaks for longevitity, and they are not always the same for speeding things up | 19:33 |
| kittykitty | skfax_, the repo you had didnt have 64x in it, youre installing 32x | 19:33 |
| kittykitty | skfax_, do dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 19:34 |
| kittykitty | and then it should install | 19:34 |
| trijntje | holstein, why ext2? I was planning on using ext4 w/o journalling, since ext4 has some speed improvements over ext2 (at least thats what I read somewhere :P) | 19:34 |

| Jordan_U | etronik: Since you just re-installed anyway, why not re-install Ubuntu 14.04? | 20:36 |
| etronik | I don't trust ubuntu to those processess flawlessly!! plain and simple ! | 20:36 |
| etronik | even if a simple re-install of the same version failed to detect the mouse... | 20:36 |
| adamcunnington | daftykins: http://i.imgur.com/0ukupei.png | 20:37 |
| Fyodorovna | etronik, Bummer, but trying to revive an OS I will guess at a beginners level may not be the best approach. | 20:37 |
| Jordan_U | etronik: I don't understand why you think that re-installing a different version of Ubuntu is a more complex process than re-installing the same version. Or is that not what you're implying? | 20:37 |
| genii | etronik: Did you see the ALPS touchpad listed when you issued the xinput command? | 20:37 |
| etronik | genii: no... virtual core XTEST pointer | 20:39 |
| etronik | Jordan_U: please I've enough failures with all versions of Ubuntu... trust me, I have plenty of failure experience | 20:39 |
| genii | etronik: Then I'd likely see if the package i mentioned earlier is installed, the xserver-xorg-input-all ..if there is a driver somewhere in X for it, this will install it | 20:39 |
| etronik | genii: how do I we check that ? | 20:40 |
| genii | etronik: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-all | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | etronik: Please trust us and at least try Ubuntu 14.04. | 20:40 |
| etronik | Jordan_U: no.. not yet | 20:40 |

| genii | Jordan_U: He had 13.10 running on an identical machine before. then when he swapped the hd into second machine, no boot. Now after trying to install same version over what's there, this issue. | 20:41 |
| etronik | genii: install 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 | 20:42 |

Is that the "special communication protocol"? Cups cannot use this protocol, so it throws me an error. How can i get cups to support | 20:49 |
| mojosan | this protocol? | 20:49 |
| Fyodorovna | adamcunnington, several way | 20:49 |
| adamcunnington | daftykins: http://i.imgur.com/OvkZ2G9.png | 20:49 |
| adamcunnington | Fyodorovna: can you recommend one? | 20:50 |
| daftykins | adamcunnington: wow, the system seems certain it's just 8MB in size | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | !clone | adamcunnington | 20:50 |
| ubottu | adamcunnington: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 20:50 |
| Fyodorovna | adamcunnington, save the all the repos not in the ubuntu standard and keys and Code: dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packagesA nd if you wanted to use the list to reinstall this software on a fresh ubuntu setup, Code:sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages ; sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 20:50 |
| daftykins | adamcunnington: you didn't get hustled by a cheap flash drive on ebay from China or something? :) | 20:51 |

| adamcunnington | daftykins: haha na | 20:51 |
| adamcunnington | daftykins: is it broken and doomed to never work? | 20:51 |
| mexi_d3 | Why does `Calibre` appear twice in ubuntu software centre? Once as 'calibre' and once as 'ebook reader'. | 20:51 |
| adamcunnington | mexi_d3: i noticed that but both are horribly out of date and broken, i went via ppa | 20:52 |
| daftykins | adamcunnington: i don't know, i'm very surprised it's showing up so tiny - one more idea would be to install the program pastebinit then open a terminal and run "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" and paste the link here | 20:52 |
| adamcunnington | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7620103/ | 20:52 |
| daftykins | adamcunnington: hrmm unless it was one of these ones that would've contained software in that 8MB to unlock the rest... i'm at a loss to explain that. try another port and see if it changes maybe? | 20:54 |
| Fyodorovna | <daftykins> adamcunnington: you didn't get hustled by a cheap flash drive on ebay from China or something? :) So culturally inappropriate, if you said something like that in the cultural studies I'm in you would be talked to. | 20:56 |

| lionrouge | hi | 20:58 |
| daftykins | lionrouge: welcome back | 20:58 |
| adamcunnington | daftykins: haha, i've got like 20 of them so doesn't really matter | 20:58 |
| lionrouge | tell me please what Ubuntu should i use for Intel Celeron M 540: 64-bit or 32-bit ? | 20:58 |
| daftykins | lionrouge: how much RAM do you have | 20:59 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, what is the bit on the computer and how much memory | 20:59 |
| lionrouge | 512 MB DDR2-667 | 20:59 |
| daftykins | lionrouge: that processor can do both 32 and 64-bit, however with that much RAM you would be unlikely to even run 32-bit, you will have to pick either xubuntu or lubuntu | 21:00 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, barely enough to maybe run lubuntu lightly, 32 bit | 21:00 |
| lionrouge | daftykins, i thought about xubuntu | 21:00 |
| lionrouge | thanks | 21:01 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, You are welcome to try any desktop however, it depends on your needs | 21:01 |
| lionrouge | is LXDE a mature DE? | 21:02 |
| lionrouge | looks a bit too lightweight | 21:03 |
| DalekSec | If you'd like really lightweight, you can install openbox+tint2. | 21:03 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, what is your definition of mature? It's been around a longtime and is supported | 21:03 |
| daftykins | lionrouge: honestly, with such old hardware, you've not got many options | 21:03 |
| === googolhash_j is now known as googolhash | ||
| Fyodorovna | +1 openbox+tint2. | 21:04 |
| lionrouge | Fyodorovna, i mean automatic volume mount, enough settings etc. | 21:04 |
| etronik | genii: doing the apt-get update (via software updated) did the trick - got the mouse pointer back and touchpad working again... | 21:05 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, again without definitions it is moot if you want exact answers, anything else is subjective and a opinion. ;) | 21:05 |
| * etronik shrugs | 21:05 | |
| etronik | now I feel I've something really risky, riding my luck I told Ubuntu to install proprietary graphics driver for Nvidia - I sense impending doom... | 21:06 |
| Fyodorovna | lionrouge, Really if you want to know if anything works for you run it | 21:06 |
| lionrouge | Fyodorovna, ok )) | 21:06 |
| daftykins | etronik: could be worse, you could be running AMD | 21:07 |
| histo | etronik: will work fine | 21:07 |
| etronik | restarting the system... and praying... | 21:08 |
| Deborah | Hello. I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me with my crashed computer. I tried to upgrade my Lenovo 3000 J Series (with Pentium 4) from Ubuntu 12.04 .4 LTS to 12.10. I was using the upgrade manager and | 21:09 |
| etronik | as I suspected | 21:09 |
| Deborah | followed all the directions, but when the system restarted, it showed.... | 21:10 |
| etronik | i pushed my luck way too far | 21:10 |
| Deborah | "Verifying data pool | 21:10 |
| Deborah | and then the Ubuntu logo, but then it started flashing. | 21:10 |
| etronik | back to square one again - acpid exiting ! F***K! | 21:10 |
| Fyodorovna | Deborah, 12.10 and 13.04 are end of life, are you sure that this is the path you want. A fresh install may be a better option. | 21:11 |
| Deborah | Fyodorovna, I'd prefer the latest system, but I read that I couldn't jump from 12.04 to the most recent one. I thought i had to go step by step. But now... the computer doesn't seem to work at all. | 21:12 |
| Deborah | I do have a *little* bit more data. | 21:12 |
| histo | Deborah: you can upgrade from LTS to LTS | 21:13 |
| Deborah | Eventually the screen says "low graphics mode" and gives me the opportunity to troubleshoot. I can access an xserver log file. | 21:13 |
| histo | Deborah: what type of video card is in the machine? | 21:13 |
| histo | Deborah: How did you try to go from 12.04 to 12.10 also? | 21:14 |
| Deborah | Histo, thanks for that tip. I'll look for the vidcard; | 21:14 |
| histo | Deborah: lscpi | 21:14 |
| Fyodorovna | Deborah, 12.04 and 14.04 are both long term it is standard to jump this distance. However the official upgade will be in July, but could have been run from the terminal. Being in the situation you are in now trying to fix a upgrade to a eol well your choice. | 21:14 |
| Deborah | SmartMedia? MultiMedia? It's really small print on the computer. Trying to read | 21:14 |
| daftykins | if i may, i think knowing Deborah's RAM given the mention of Pentium 4 - would be a very relevant piece of information | 21:14 |
| Deborah | Oh, maybe I don't have enough memory? | 21:15 |
| Fyodorovna | good point | 21:15 |
| daftykins | do you know your RAM count? | 21:15 |
| ask-something | excuse me, i need help. sometimes when i was connected modem use command: "wvdial xxx" (xxx is my configuration) i could'nt connected. error message ="the ppp daemon has died : a modem hung up the phone ". | 21:15 |
| ask-something | i was try restart,unplug data cable and plug again(i repeat it continuesly until i can success connect) . but i don't know what the problem. my question, the problem from my system or my internet provider?thx. | 21:15 |
| histo | Deborah: free -h in a tty | 21:15 |
| Deborah | histo, I'm not sure what free h in a tty means. (Sorry I'm so out of it.) | 21:16 |
| histo | Deborah: in the command line | 21:16 |
| daftykins | histo: it's not booting ;) | 21:16 |
| histo | daftykins: then how was she reading hte output of lscpi ? | 21:17 |
| Fyodorovna | ask-something, phone? | 21:17 |
| Deborah | I'm looking on my written out sheet of the xserver file. Would it be there? | 21:17 |
| ask-something | Fyodorovna, yes, modem in phone | 21:17 |
| histo | Deborah: How were you upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10? | 21:17 |

| daftykins | Deborah: do you think you could try the above mentioned Ctrl + Alt + F1 thing? | 21:20 |
| Deborah | ok. I'm restarting the ubuntu computer. it takes awhile to get to the part where I can get the xserver report. is that where i'd find the h tty ? Or is that something I'd need to know independetly? | 21:20 |
| Deborah | Oh, I tried ctrl alt F1 | 21:20 |
| Deborah | and ctrl alt T | 21:20 |
| Deborah | got nothing | 21:21 |
| Deborah | And eventually, after the messages about the graphics, the only place I could get to was to a flashing cursor. It wouldn't respond when I typed. | 21:21 |
| daftykins | Deborah: can you hold left shift after power on and see if you get the GRUB menu displayed? you'd need the key held down just as you see the Verifying DMI pool data message | 21:21 |
| histo | Deborah: Ignore the tty thing and just answer How were you trying to upgrade? | 21:21 |
| Deborah | Histo, I'm not sure how to answer the question. I did research on how to upgrade, and I thnk i used the upgrade manager. | 21:22 |
| Deborah | But I remember finding an ubuntu website that had upgrade info and links to 12.10. Seemed legit. | 21:22 |

| yehuda | histo: before only showing intel corp and 2x usb 2.0 root hub and 1x 3.0 | 21:39 |
| Deborah | that just disappeared! | 21:39 |
| histo | mramm: what log did you pastebin | 21:39 |
| Deborah | it's loading something | 21:39 |
| Drewcifer | I am running Ubuntu from a flash disk. When I install an App, where is it installing, the USB persistance called Casper? | 21:39 |
| daftykins | Deborah: ah, it should've stayed on it and let you select things | 21:39 |
| Deborah | ubuntu checking drives for errors.. | 21:39 |
| Deborah | it's gonna crash again. | 21:39 |
| Deborah | Yep. I'm at the flashing part. Will try again and will select something from the menu immediately. I didn't even get a chance to read it because i was typing here. | 21:40 |
| histo | yehuda: okay.. Well next time it stops working we'll have to troubleshoot | 21:41 |
| daftykins | Deborah: hehe, perhaps cursor up and down as soon as you see it | 21:41 |
| Deborah | ok, at cmos setup utility | 21:41 |
| histo | Drewcifer: if you setup persistence there is a casper file | 21:41 |
| etronik | bloody hell, trouble even resetting X | 21:41 |
| etronik | using | 21:41 |
| yehuda | any idea what could cause this. before I have mint 16 never a problem now with Ubuntu 14 and Kubuntu 14 suddenly this | 21:42 |
| Deborah | there's standard cmos features, advanced bios features, integrated peripherals, etc. (do you know this already?) | 21:42 |
| etronik | using X -configure on the root console, the script complains about created screen being different from detected screens, and exists | 21:42 |
| Drewcifer | histo: I installed a program so fast I didn't look to see where it installs to. The persistance is fairly small is it not 4gb? Should I install to an external hardrive instead? | 21:42 |
| histo | yehuda: you could try poking around in dmesg and seeing | 21:42 |
| daftykins | Deborah: that's your BIOS, you must've been pressing something other than shift to get into that... hit ctrl+alt+delete to restart and boot normally, then after the first screen of boot disappears, hold that left shift | 21:42 |
| yehuda | ok thanks. what would I be looking for? | 21:42 |
| userr | big bang theory | 21:43 |
| histo | Drewcifer: How did you create your thumb drive? | 21:43 |
| histo | yehuda: errors | 21:43 |
| Deborah | Oh, yeah, I was holding shift, but then I noticed it said to hit enter to bypass normall startup. Darn, I thought I was getting somewhere. | 21:43 |
| wiiguy | hello, whenever i try to install a amd driver, i get a error "E: Unable to locate package (>" and "E: Unable to locate package 2" and "unable to resolve xserver-xorg-dev (>= 2. Please Manually install and try again." .... what can i do about this ? > full log >>> http://pastebin.com/FK2d7uM2 | 21:43 |
| histo | yehuda: or anything pertaining to usb or those devices | 21:43 |
| Deborah | Should I sustain holding the shift while the computer is turning on? | 21:43 |
| histo | yehuda: I wouldn't really sweat it until it happesn then it will be easier to figure out. | 21:44 |
| yehuda | ok thanks | 21:44 |
| WhitePOWER | Hi! Just look at blood horror sponsored by USA in Ukraine!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofeZ-P_P0eA | 21:44 |
| daftykins | Deborah: by the sounds of the age of your machine, you see the first screen which may mention the processor and RAM, maybe even have an energy star logo or perhaps AMI award BIOS, then the second screen has a table of information then says "Verifying DMI pool data..." , it's as soon as this second screen comes up you want to start holding shift | 21:44 |
| Sonmi-451 | Hello :) Is there any way to change the keyboard-combination for acessing the ttys? I cant acess them with Ctrl Alt F*... Sorry for my bad english. :) | 21:44 |
| wiiguy | i guess no one knows ? | 21:45 |
| Drewcifer | histo: universal usb installer. with the max persistence file offered. I would ideally like to have a portable linux OS that I could boot anywhere on a large harddrive. I would also like to use that same USB to back-up windowz files as well. | 21:45 |
| histo | Drewcifer: Okay so you did set it up with persistent storage so what is the question then? | 21:46 |
| wiiguy | :( | 21:46 |
| Deborah | <daftykins> Yeah! At GNU GRUB.\ | 21:46 |
| daftykins | Deborah: :) do you see "Ubuntu" and then "advanced options" ? | 21:46 |
| Deborah | yep | 21:46 |
| Drewcifer | My current USB thumbdrive is 16gb but it was a stable boot and my current large harddrive has a big backup on it from windowz that I would prefer not to have to repeat. | 21:46 |
| daftykins | Deborah: go for advanced, then you should see a recovery option | 21:47 |
| Deborah | <daftykins> It | 21:47 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: i just took a look | 21:47 |
| wiiguy | oh i see | 21:47 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: that installer seems broken for whatever reason, yet it states it's verified - :S | 21:47 |
| Deborah | oops, it's offering a couple of different things. Linux 3.5.0-51 generic, the same with recovery mode; | 21:48 |
| histo | Drewcifer: What is your question? | 21:48 |
| etronik | EXPLETIVE!! Can't even reset X configuration... | 21:48 |
| Fyodorovna | Drewcifer, You can have a casper-rw partition, if you want more tha 4 gigs | 21:48 |
| Deborah | -63, also with recovery | 21:48 |
| Fyodorovna | than* | 21:48 |
| wiiguy | i guess i could try downloading a older one | 21:48 |
| Drewcifer | histo: I unsure how to partition USB devices to use them as storage as well as boot drive in which I can run a couple programs (not sure how much space they need) | 21:48 |
| Deborah | and 17 with or without recovery | 21:48 |
| etronik | 10 hours for nothing ! | 21:48 |
| Deborah | Anything in particular you think i should pick? | 21:48 |
| histo | Drewcifer: 4gb is fine for persistent storage. Windows will only read the first partition ona removable drive though if you need that capability. | 21:48 |
| daftykins | Deborah: ok, tell you what, i want you to try each of the ones without recovery on the end in turn going backwards based on that ending number to test if one works | 21:49 |
| daftykins | Deborah: is that clear? my wording was pretty poor | 21:49 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: is it their very latest, such as a beta? | 21:49 |
| Deborah | ok. So, so should I start with the 51 or the 17 (without recovery mode)? | 21:49 |
| Deborah | or the 63 | 21:49 |
| wiiguy | there is a beta | 21:49 |
| ldiamond | Hi, I have ubuntu 14.04 server installed with LXDE package added (for a cleaner install). I'm trying to enable wifi but when I go to the "network connections" preference and try to create a wifi network connection, all the fields are greyed out. However, iwlist wlan0 scan works just fine. | 21:50 |
| wiiguy | should i try the beta first ? | 21:50 |
| ldiamond | Anyone knows how I can get a working gui for that? | 21:50 |
| daftykins | Deborah: so the largest number is what it's booting already, so pick the one that's lower than that... then if that gives you a flashing screen try the next and so on | 21:50 |
| Drewcifer | OK let's say I wanted to install fairly large program, it won't max out persistence? I think I am missing something about what persistence is. and where files are stored, and what-not. | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Drewcifer: Try installing Ubuntu normally to the external drive. "Persistance" is not really as flexible and reliable as a regular install, for example kernel upgrades will fail. The only downsides of doing a normal installation is that it takes up more space, and also may be slower on slow drives (the compression used by the Live environments hides the fact that reads can often be very slow on external drives). | 21:50 |
| Fyodorovna | +1^^^^^ | 21:51 |
| Deborah | Ok, 63 is the largest number so I'll go with the next smallest: 51. Here goes. | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: try wicd. It may help instead of network manager | 21:51 |
| daftykins | Deborah: excellent | 21:51 |
| histo | Drewcifer: you could install up to 4gb of programs. | 21:51 |
| ldiamond | ActionParsnip, do I need to install the other network manager for that? | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | Drewcifer: The casper-rw partition is a partition that stores files that have been changed from, or added to the files in the read only squashfs filesystem. | 21:52 |
| Drewcifer | OK, I see what I am doing wrong. Running it as a trial vs instal. | 21:52 |
| wiiguy | daftykins should i try the beta ? | 21:52 |
| Deborah | 51 is flashing. Gonna turn off. and do the shift thing. | 21:52 |
| histo | Drewcifer: huh? | 21:52 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: depends how old your card is i guess, it's up to you | 21:52 |
| Drewcifer | IDK. I'm confused. | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: use a wired connection if you can | 21:53 |
| wiiguy | it is a pretty old laptop | 21:53 |
| wiiguy | but i will try :) | 21:53 |
| histo | Drewcifer: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/what-is-persistent-linux/ | 21:53 |
| Deborah | Trying 17 | 21:53 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: errr, just so you know anything lower than Radeon 5xxx series are unsupported by their drivers anyway | 21:53 |
| histo | Drewcifer: even better link http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | Drewcifer: So if you edit /etc/hostname in the "persistant" environment, a new file, at the path etc/hostname within the casper-rw filesystem will be created, and any reads to "/etc/fstab" will actually read from the casper-rw partition. As far as most processes are concerned, there is no way to notice a difference between reading a file that has been changed (is read from the casper-rw) vs a file that has not been changed (is ... | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | ... read directly from the squashfs). | 21:54 |
| Deborah | <daftykins>Aw, man. the 17 is flashing, too. Should I switch to the "recovery" options? Starting with the high numbers? | 21:55 |
| daftykins | Deborah: yeah, do the latest recovery kernel and after a little bit it should come up with a basic looking menu | 21:55 |
| daftykins | Deborah: by the way what kind of device are you chatting from? | 21:56 |
| Drewcifer | Ok, I think I have learned that the way I wanted to do what I wanted to do is not feasible. | 21:56 |
| Deborah | I'm chatting from an acer computer running windows 7. | 21:56 |
| histo | Drewcifer: What is it that you want to do? | 21:57 |
| houst0n_ | Okay; so apologies if I'm being a tard but we've been getting 403s from the ec2 mirros in the us and eu for >8 hours --- this a known thing? | 21:57 |
| wiiguy | daftykins, i seem to have mobility radeon HD 4650/5165 | 21:57 |
| houst0n_ | mirrors* | 21:57 |
| daftykins | wiiguy: you might need to check the release notes for the drivers to be sure that's supported | 21:58 |
| Deborah | trying 63 recovery kernel-- lots of text... and now a recovery menu | 21:58 |
| wiiguy | hd5000 is supported is what it says | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | Aborted (core dumped) | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | I get this error when I run skype | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | it causes skype to crash | 21:58 |
| wiiguy | bot the 4k makes me worry | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | Does anyone have any insight into this issue? | 21:58 |
| daftykins | !recovery | Deborah | 21:58 |
| ubottu | Deborah: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | I tried removing skype and installing it from a deb file on skype's website | 21:58 |
| Drewcifer | How much space will be consumed if I install Ubuntu inside windows? | 21:58 |
| RonaldReagan | but to no avail | 21:58 |
| wiiguy | but i will just try it and see what happens | 21:59 |
| daftykins | Deborah: ah, that link was actually not as helpful as i thought it was | 21:59 |
| wiiguy | it is a blank install anyways | 21:59 |
| Drewcifer | 6.4 gb the install program tells me so, duh | 21:59 |
| houst0n_ | No one else having probs like us? e.g: https://gist.github.com/houst0n/a29afc20d9b829e67747 | 21:59 |
| Deborah | ok. Should i select repair broken packages? or check all file sysems? | 22:00 |
| histo | Drewcifer: I don't think wubi is supported anymore | 22:00 |
| daftykins | Deborah: i think dropping to a root shell would be best | 22:00 |
| Drewcifer | wubi? | 22:00 |
| houst0n_ | Looks like someone turned auth on the s3 bucket or something .... ? | 22:00 |
| Deborah | ok. | 22:00 |
| daftykins | Deborah: do you have any data on this system that you need to recover? | 22:00 |
| p3rror | hello | 22:00 |
| Deborah | there's stuff on there, but it's not essential. | 22:00 |
| * histo screams and slams head into desk repeatedly | 22:00 | |
| p3rror | I have some problem with mysql-server | 22:00 |

| etronik | unbelievable but I'm re-installing 13.10 for the second time today! on account of X not being able to reset! | 22:01 |
| houst0n_ | So we're alone? | 22:01 |
| Deborah | I just don't want to have to junk this computer. | 22:01 |
| daftykins | etronik: it's really not your day | 22:01 |
| etronik | seems not | 22:01 |
| daftykins | Deborah: what's it used for? it's a bit of a dinosaur :) | 22:01 |
| histo | etronik: isn't 13.10 eol? | 22:01 |
| etronik | and at every upgrade I shudder at the prospect | 22:02 |
| histo | etronik: sry nvm | 22:02 |
| histo | Wow no I'm doing it | 22:02 |
| Deborah | Yeah, I know. Primarily just for the internet and word processing. This laptop is used for more advanced stuff. | 22:02 |
| histo | Deborah: install lubuntu or xubuntu | 22:02 |
| houst0n_ | We I've got >100 boxes to build tomorrow for a prod release and our pipeline's failing as the ec2 ubuntu mirros are throwing 403s at us ..... no one's having the same problem? | 22:02 |
| daftykins | Deborah: i was thinking it would probably be a lot easier to just format the disk and install a newer version, like the lighter weight editions histo mentions | 22:03 |
| daftykins | houst0n_: tried using the repo address instead of CDN addresses? | 22:03 |
| houst0n_ | Can anyone try and grab a package from it? Or just curl -I http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lua5.1/liblua5.1-0_5.1.5-4_amd64.deb and tell me the response code? | 22:03 |
| histo | daftykins: she could even recover her files from those lighter weight distro live cds | 22:03 |
| houst0n_ | They're the offical amis -- the above, for example, responds with a 403 from the uk and the us | 22:03 |
| daftykins | histo: once we find out RAM yep :) | 22:03 |
| Deborah | Format a disk on another computer, you mean? Or can I install it directly on the dinosaur? | 22:03 |
| daftykins | Deborah: i just mean reinstall. did it boot to a root prompt? | 22:04 |
| houst0n_ | We can change the repo addresses, we'll have to do some midnight puppet hax for it though -- which isn't a problem | 22:04 |
| Deborah | Yes, it says root@lenovo:~# | 22:04 |
| houst0n_ | I'm more interested to know if we're the only people seeing it ... | 22:04 |
| Drewcifer | histo: I am using the install app distributed with Ubuntu, I think I meant to say "along side" windows. | 22:04 |
| SpecialEd | Got a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 Server installed and it appears the file "70-persistent-net.rules" is missing and my NIC shows up as p2p1. The system has a ASRock H87M-ITX Motherboard with a QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet for an onboard NIC. I am able to ping out however I'd like to change the p2p1 to eth0, any clues as to what went wrong would be helpful, I have tried full reinstallation of Ubuntu | 22:04 |
| SpecialEd | twice now... | 22:04 |
| daftykins | houst0n_: and yet look what happens if you just do: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lua5.1/liblua5.1-0_5.1.5-4_amd64.deb | 22:04 |
| daftykins | houst0n_: that downloads for me fine | 22:05 |
| houst0n_ | Yep -- those mirros work for us too | 22:05 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: it's a new policy, not a problem. no idea how to rename... but is a name really that much of a problem? | 22:05 |
| houst0n_ | They're not the ones that ship with the aws amis though | 22:05 |
| Drewcifer | houst0n_, You no longer have a problem. | 22:06 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: Whats a new policy? That eth0 is now called p2p1? | 22:06 |
| daftykins | houst0n_: i doubt there should be any difference? | 22:06 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: that some drivers have different interface names | 22:06 |
| houst0n_ | Drewcifer: I agree with you, really, but unfortunately the mirrors that are baked into the offical amis we're using are part of the pipeline | 22:06 |
| houst0n_ | So to change them isn't a quick job | 22:06 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: OK so how do I fix it so it shows up as eth0? | 22:06 |
| Drewcifer | oh bums. good luck with that. | 22:07 |
| houst0n_ | It's something we can, and probably will have to do; I'd just like to know if anyone else has noticed the problem | 22:07 |
| mutante | what is the difference between libjpeg-progs and libjpeg-turbo-progs? if the former is a dependency package and only exists to depend on the other, and there is just a single dependency, why are there even 2 of them? | 22:07 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: why does it matter? :) | 22:07 |
| houst0n_ | Or we're getting raped by aws for some reason :) | 22:07 |
| histo | Drewcifer: I have no idea wtf you are talking about anymore. | 22:07 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Yes, the idea being that p2p1 is a name which we can guarantee will always refer to the same NIC, whereas previously if you had two NICs, which one ended up named "eth0", and which "eth1" could end up changing every boot. | 22:07 |
| houst0n_ | Can you try and do that curl -I above for me? | 22:07 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: Thats besides the point, I'd like to fix it so that it doesn't say p2p1 and correctly shows eth0 | 22:07 |
| markolo25 | what's the command for finding the size of a folder | 22:08 |
| histo | markolo25: du | 22:08 |
| houst0n_ | I've tried it from boxes we have in france, ireland, us and jp | 22:08 |
| markolo25 | thank you | 22:08 |
| houst0n_ | all throw 403 | 22:08 |
| Nuc1eoN | Hi, I constantly get this error when I start a browser: https://gist.github.com/Nuc1eoN/f2826262d8ad53d68f15 Does anyone know how to update dat icetea configs?? | 22:08 |
| houst0n_ | That sounds like a pretty big issue... no? | 22:08 |
| markolo25 | page missing? | 22:08 |
| histo | markolo25: du -h | 22:08 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: lol, i don't mean to be awkward but seriously what's in a name? anyway here's a guide: http://blogs.bu.edu/mhirsch/2012/12/ubuntu-12-10-renaming-ethernet-interfaces-from-p1p1-to-eth0/comment-page-1/ | 22:08 |
| genii | SpecialEd: Maybe check in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and if the p2p1 name is being set there, changing it might work. Would need a reboot though. | 22:08 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: No offense, but sometimes the why in a problem is irrelevant, thanks for the link ill read that | 22:09 |
| markolo25 | i got it thanks histo | 22:09 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: it would help me understand which helps me give help better :) | 22:09 |
| SpecialEd | genii: I mentioned earlier that that file does not exist and according to daftykins it shouldn't on ubuntu 14.04 which is crap if you ask me, lol | 22:09 |
| Deborah | <daftykins> and <histo> Sorry, I don't want to rush you or interrupt you from your other conversations, but when you get a chance it would be great if you could tell me if I can do anything from this root prompt or if I need to burn a disc elsewhere and then install. Thanks! | 22:09 |
| houst0n_ | Okay; if you huys have 30 secs, can you please run this cmd: curl -v -I http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lua5.1/liblua5.1-0_5.1.5-4_amd64.deb and tell me if you get a 200? | 22:10 |
| genii | SpecialEd: I seems to exist on my 14.04, but then again I upgraded and not a clean install | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Uninstalling biosdevname will probably get you your "eth0" name back, but I highly recommend that you instead learn to work with the more reliable naming scheme, especially if this is a production server. | 22:10 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: that link unfortunately references editing the 70-persistent-net.rules which doesnt exist | 22:10 |
| SpecialEd | Got a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 Server installed and it appears the file "70-persistent-net.rules" is missing and my NIC shows up as p2p1. The system has a ASRock H87M-ITX Motherboard with a QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet for an onboard NIC. I am able to ping out however I'd like to change the p2p1 to eth0, any clues as to what went wrong would be helpful, I have tried full reinstallation of Ubuntu | 22:10 |
| SpecialEd | twice now... | 22:10 |
| houst0n_ | I'm sure you terminal ninja mofoz can do it in like.... 5 | 22:10 |
| daftykins | SpecialEd: so create it | 22:10 |
| galaxyman | hello | 22:10 |
| SpecialEd | daftykins: tried that, doesnt work | 22:10 |
| Nuc1eoN | houst0n getting HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden | 22:11 |
| TJ- | SpecialEd: servers are using *biosdevnames* now | 22:11 |
| houst0n_ | Same here, for evetything in the repo, man | 22:11 |
| galaxyman | folks, does anyone know if it's possible to flash ubuntu touch onto a samsung galaxy tab 3 lite? | 22:11 |
| Nuc1eoN | no help me pls :P | 22:11 |
| Nuc1eoN | *now | 22:11 |
| houst0n_ | Looks like someone turned on auth on the s3 bucket, if you've done any aws stuff | 22:11 |
| daftykins | Deborah: i can multi task :) the value under the 'Total' column beside 'Mem' from "free -m" would be a good start | 22:11 |
| houst0n_ | IT's broken almost all out ec2 pipelines | 22:12 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Again, nothing went "wrong", everything is working as it should for a server (I think that reliable persistant names should be used for Desktops as well, but that's beside the point). | 22:12 |
| houst0n_ | None of you've noticed? :/ | 22:12 |
| daftykins | houst0n_: maybe you should refer to amazon help | 22:12 |
| Carlinhos | anyone using drivers from xorg-edgers or oibaf ppa? x crashes whenever i try to run a game with radeon | 22:13 |
| histo | Jordan_U: they're only using that on server now ugg | 22:13 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: Ok then what does p2p1 mean? | 22:13 |
| houst0n_ | We'll just fix it ourselves tomorrow, if it's not sorted by tomorrow morning | 22:13 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: Its not a p2p link, its a standard ethernet link | 22:13 |
| histo | SpecialEd: think of it as a guid for your nic | 22:13 |
| Deborah | Thanks, <daftykins>! But I'm not sure what you mean. I'm at the prompt that says root@lenovo:~# and above it there are choices to resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub, network, root, and system summary. I don't see anything about a Total Column of Memo or free-m | 22:13 |
| Nuc1eoN | How to update the damn icetea :/ | 22:13 |
| SpecialEd | histo: GUID is longer than p2p1 | 22:13 |
| houst0n_ | Just wanted to let yas know your primary aws mirros (I imagine there are >1m boxes running ubuntu on aws) seem to be unavailable to anyone | 22:13 |
| histo | SpecialEd: not with your nics | 22:13 |

| TJ- | SpecialEd: Read up on biosdevname, here: http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=summary | 22:14 |
| Deborah | aha! Total Mem is 969. Used 61, free 908. | 22:14 |
| daftykins | Deborah: mmm ok so potentially 1GB RAM | 22:14 |
| Deborah | Is that awful? | 22:15 |
| daftykins | Deborah: it's quite low, yes - you'd definitely be looking at xubuntu or lubuntu to install the very latest (version 14.04) on such a specification | 22:15 |
| Deborah | That's fine. I;d just like to be able to use this computer for email and basic web stuff when the other computer is occupied. And, if it's possible, I'd love to be able to print from it. That's how this whole upgrade thing started. I've got a canon pixma mx922, but it's not compatible with the current system. I read online somewhere that there were ways to make it work with more updated Ubuntu systems. If I can do that, great. | 22:17 |
| histo | Deborah: make sure you get 32bit version also | 22:17 |
| Deborah | the computer back to it's previous state of at least being able to surf the web. | 22:18 |
| daftykins | Deborah: sounds good, how is that computer connected to the internet by the way? is it cabled in? | 22:18 |
| Deborah | <histo> 32 bit, ok. How can I access it | 22:18 |
| galaxyman | ok game of thrones time | 22:18 |
| alteregoa | someone tell me how to find the config file of ubuntu backup | 22:18 |
| Deborah | Yes, but we also have wifi at home. | 22:18 |
| alteregoa | canit find it in /etc | 22:18 |
| genii | Interesting, nothing in /lib/udev/rules.d seems to make a p2p# device. | 22:19 |
| daftykins | Deborah: download this on your newer computer: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/trusty/release/desktop/xubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 22:19 |
| daftykins | Deborah: excellent, could you run some more commands on your old computer? "mount -o remount,rw /" to start | 22:19 |
| Deborah | <daftykins> hm, i'm typing that command, but i | 22:20 |
| Deborah | it's not responding. | 22:20 |
| Deborah | maybe typos? | 22:20 |
| daftykins | Deborah: the above command should show absolutely nothing after hitting enter, it should just go back to the prompt | 22:21 |
| alteregoa | ubuntu backup is so deaf, it doesn't display hidden files | 22:21 |
| Deborah | oh, then it worked. | 22:21 |
| daftykins | Deborah: next up, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 22:21 |
| daftykins | Deborah: the first part there should stream a lot of lines of package mirror addresses | 22:21 |
| Deborah | <daftykins>lots of lines! | 22:22 |
| Deborah | Now it asks if i want to continue. I'll say yes. | 22:22 |
| genii | daftykins: I like that first you are giving commands sans the sudo, then with the sudo :) Are they in recovery boot? | 22:22 |
| tankerkiller125 | OK so my problem is rather basic kinda... I have a ubuntu server install and when I first set it up it detected my wireless card and used it but after its first reboot it no longer connects to the internet and does not use the wireless card. How do I set it up so that it auto uses the wireless card? | 22:22 |
| Deborah | <daftykins> unable to fetch some archives, maybe rn apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? | 22:23 |
| daftykins | genii: lol, good spot - force of habit and late night eyes | 22:23 |
| daftykins | Deborah: ah no matter, try "apt-get install pastebinit" on its' own | 22:23 |
| Deborah | <daftykins>got the same message about unable to fetch some archives | 22:24 |
| tankerkiller125 | Another quick note about m problem is that I have indeed searched the web for an answer | 22:24 |
| daftykins | Deborah: ah :/ ok i think maybe it'd be easier to just boot into a live session from the newly downloaded xubuntu, once you put it on a DVD or USB drive | 22:25 |
| histo | tankerkiller125: what are you using to manage the network connection? | 22:26 |
| zykotick9 | tankerkiller125: setup options: A) network-manager B) /etc/network/interfaces or C) wicd | 22:26 |
| === Dizzle is now known as Guest4905 | ||
| tankerkiller125 | Default system I havn't been able to download anything like i siad no network so the /etc/network/interfaces one | 22:26 |

| tankerkiller125 | zykotick9: Default system I havn't been able to download anything like i siad no network so the /etc/network/interfaces one | 22:27 |
| Deborah | <daftykins>Argh, another obstacle: windows cannot open that file. It's asking me to select a program with which to open it. I'll check the options | 22:27 |
| daftykins | tankerkiller125: server and wireless aren't really two things that go together :( | 22:27 |
| histo | tankerkiller125: Do you know how to setup your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 22:28 |
| daftykins | Deborah: if you're going to use blank DVDs i would recommend the free program "imgburn" to burn the ISO file to a DVD | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | tankerkiller125: i got it the 1st time ;) ya, i've never used n-m from terminal, so i'm not help there. /etc/network/interfaces is a pain for wireless but i'd suggest you look online for using it to setup your wireless (i just home wpa-supplicant is already installed!) - FYI, i find server+wireless a bit "odd" | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | daftykins: "server and wireless aren't really two things that go together" < nice quote ;) | 22:29 |
| daftykins | :) | 22:29 |
| tankerkiller125 | zykotick9: Yes indeed however this is just a home server that I keep in a ventelated closet and I use for little things like file storage | 22:29 |
| alteregoa | ctrl-h but f1 doesnt' show that info lol | 22:29 |
| daftykins | i love cables. | 22:29 |
| histo | tankerkiller125: it will be fine just read how to setup wireless in the interfaces file online | 22:29 |

| kat_ | guys, does anyone play minetest here? How do you get mods on linux for minetest? The mod store doesn't work. | 22:58 |
| enchilado | kat_: have you tried asking in #minetest? | 22:58 |
| kat_ | yes, they say go to the forums, but I can't find anything there for linux. | 22:59 |
| kat_ | they say the mod store on the game is broken. | 22:59 |
| kat_ | I'm new with linux. They say to put the downloaded mod in ~/.minetest/mods/. When I open the minetest file, there is no folder for mods. How do I do that? | 23:01 |
| enchilado | kat_: $ mkdir ~/.minetest/mods | 23:01 |
| kat_ | so put that in the terminal and it will make a folder in minetest file? | 23:02 |
| enchilado | .minetest is a folder, not a file | 23:02 |
| mguy | My laptop 'crashed' and had a black screen with white text on it when I came home. Does that by any chance get written to a file so I can read what it said? | 23:02 |
| enchilado | mkdir is make directory | 23:03 |
| kat_ | So, that command will put a mod folder in the minetest folder? | 23:03 |
| enchilado | Yes | 23:03 |
| kat_ | Then I drag and drop the mod into the mod folder? | 23:03 |
| enchilado | I've never played Minetest, but that sounds right | 23:04 |
| enchilado | You could also use the mv command | 23:04 |
