[00:07] <funkster> im on ubuntu 14.04, anyone know of a simple method for me to put my own boot splash and shutdown screens? have the images already to go in mulitple resolutions
[00:09] <izanagisan> hi all. I'm using the scp command vía command line, and it transfers my file OK. But then it DOESN'T return to the command line. I have to press Ctrl + C every time
[00:09] <izanagisan> does anyone know why this can be hapenning. I've googled but only find scp 'stalling' problems related to bandwidth or stopped transfers
[00:09] <potato_farmer> What is the command you are running?
[00:10] <izanagisan> scp -i /my/auth.pem /my/file user@remotelocation:directory
[00:10] <dine909> i'm attempting to suppress the message that appears on the desktop when a process has crashed asking me if i'd like to report it - is this possible??
[00:11] <pavlos> funkster, http://www.junauza.com/2012/07/how-to-customize-ubuntu-splash-and.html
[00:11] <izanagisan> if I DON'T use the auth.pem file, the command promtps me for a password, then transfers the file, and then id doesn't return to the console, making me press Ctrl + C
[00:12] <dine909> sorry nevermind that question - i found an answer - as you were
[00:13] <dengtk> dine909 - I never do that...no use for me
[00:13] <funkster> pavlos: there is no option in that tutorial to create my own splash screen if im not mistaken.
[00:13] <funkster> jst the ability to pick premade themes.
[00:14] <potato_farmer> izanagisan: What do you see in the logs on the receiving end?
[00:16] <izanagisan> I'm checking the receiving end's /var/log/auth.log
[00:17] <izanagisan> but upon testing the command actually released and went back to console...
[00:17] <gbb> I now have a list of the ppa's used, but I'm not sure which is the offending one I need to remove: http://apaste.info/ZQW
[00:18] <izanagisan> ran the command again, and it hanged. Will copy both logs to pastebin
[00:19] <zaxius> is there a way to see which packages are available for install via apt-get?
[00:19] <zaxius> i wanted to install apache, sudo apt-get install apache didn't work and i don't know if it's available from apt-get under some other name or if i have to install it by downloading it manually from the web
[00:20] <pavlos> funkster, the plymouth manager has a button, create your own theme, here's another link http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/install-plymouth-manager-and-change.html
[00:21] <DiaWhaze> Hello everyone
[00:21] <DiaWhaze> I have installed Ubuntu after win 8.1
[00:21] <DiaWhaze> tell me please why i can't open my other partitions ?
[00:22] <OerHeks> zaxius, try apache2, or use the server manual https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/
[00:22] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, what other from where?
[00:22] <DiaWhaze> what u mean ?
[00:22] <DiaWhaze> Beldar, from win
[00:22] <zaxius> OerHeks, thanks, apache2 worked. is there a way i could have seen that that was an option?
[00:22] <zykotick9> zaxius: you might be interested in apt-cache, like "apt-cache search apache" type thing
[00:23] <izanagisan> logs on the receiving end for command that actually returned to console: http://pastebin.com/fgrKmtP2  - the same command but this time made me press Ctrl + C http://pastebin.com/U5W5uyD0
[00:23] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, What partitions from win, get to the point with details please.
[00:23] <funkster> pavlos: so ubuntu uses plymouth for boot screen display by default and i should download the plymouth manage to edit, niice
[00:23] <DiaWhaze> Beldar,  Like Disc: D, E
[00:24] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, Which are ntfs partitions?
[00:24] <DiaWhaze> Beldar,  in other partitions my windows files ( Programs, Documents and etc.)
[00:24] <DiaWhaze> Beldar,  NTFS partitions.
[00:24] <DiaWhaze> Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/diawhaze/6282265C82263547: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/diawhaze/6282265C82263547"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

[00:24] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, ASk in ##windows nothing to with ubuntu
[00:24] <DiaWhaze> Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
[00:24] <DiaWhaze> read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
[00:24] <unopaste> DiaWhaze you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[00:24] <OerHeks> DiaWhaze, is your windows encrypted with bitlocker?
[00:24] <OerHeks> oh
[00:25] <DiaWhaze> no
[00:26] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, vague descriptions and single word answer and no preface with nicks is just not functional.
[00:28] <zaxius> zykotick9, "apt-cache search apache" output 619 lines, lol
[00:28] <zaxius> zykotick9, most of which didn't contain "apache"
[00:28] <zaxius> zykotick9, but that seems like a start...
[00:29] <zykotick9> zaxius: you can make your search more specific, like "apt-cache search ^apache" might reduce it significantly
[00:30] <ThePendulum> Hey! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 as of today, and I've got VLC controls in the audio panel without VLC active. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?
[00:31] <zaxius> zykotick9, nice that worked
[00:31] <Beldar> DiaWhaze, You want a automount, your command from linux is incorrect
[00:37] <potato_farmer> izanagisan: Nothing really stands out. Maybe run it with an strace and see if you get different output depending on behavior.
[00:38] <izanagisan> potato_farmer: thanks for all the advice. I'll test further. Logs don't always show the 'Received disconnect from 10.0.0.16: 11: disconnected by user' line
[00:38] <DiaWhaze> Fuck you guys!!!!!!!
[00:38] <zaxius> lol
[00:38] <izanagisan> worse: some files transfer all the times OK and don't perpetuate the scp process
[00:41] <potato_farmer> izanagisan: I would try an strace. It could be a network issue, but difficult to tell. Do you have more than one network to test with? If so try transferring using one and then the other to see if there is a difference.
[00:43] <izanagisan> potato_farmer: if I change the filename on every transfer, it never hangs up. Seems to be a problem with scp deciding when the transfer is over if the file already exists. But will check the network
[00:44] <izanagisan> nah, forget that. Changed the name and still hanged up
[00:44] <izanagisan> problem seems to be in some file size range. What a weird behaviour

[00:55] <Guest13288> that will work on chromium?
[00:55] <potato_farmer> Guest13288: You can try it. Should work on Chrome.

[01:09] <potato_farmer> Is that Google Chrome or Chromium?
[01:09] <Guest13288> google chrome
[01:09] <Guest13288> although pretty sure chromium does the same thing
[01:10] <wheatthin> bleh.. fixed.. hmm
[01:10] <wheatthin> had to reinstall with --purge tag
[01:10] <potato_farmer> Guest13288: Try running with --disable-gpu-sandbox
[01:11] <wheatthin> potato_farmer, I've seen that on the net, but really couldn't find the option in the gui
[01:11] <balazs> how come aptitude cannot find ddclient on 14.04 ?
[01:11] <wheatthin> p   ddclient                        - address updating utility for dynamic DNS s
[01:11] <balazs> it's on a server that I'm running off of a USB stick, but that shouldn't matter probably
[01:11] <potato_farmer> weatthin = Guest13288?
[01:12] <Guest13288> No
[01:12] <balazs> wheatthin: I know, my main desktop sees it
[01:12] <wheatthin> potato_farmer, no.. just was something I had looked up earlier
[01:12] <potato_farmer> ok :)
[01:12] <potato_farmer> Guest13288: You can open a terminal and run: google-chrome --disable-gpu-sandbox
[01:13] <potato_farmer> Guest13288: Make sure all instances of Chrome are closed first.
[01:13] <wheatthin> and how would you make it stick?
[01:13] <Guest13288> Tried the --disable-gpu-sandbox and it didn't solve the issue but outputted: [4192:4192:0613/201056:ERROR:component_loader.cc(138)] Failed to parse extension manifest.

[01:40] <Guest13288> Okay, thanks for your help
[01:42] <|Anthony|> i'm using xubuntu 12.04 and just recently something weird happened with pulseaudio... i play minecraft which is a java based game and i can no longer select the audio output through pavucontrol... it's locked on my videocard hdmi output. i can not change it to the built in audio.
[01:44] <chamunks> Would it be possible to import a IP blocklist into iptables.
[01:44] <chamunks> I'm completely iptables illiterate mind you so keep that in mind when you craft your response please.
[01:44] <holstein> chamunks: not sure about an "import", but yes.. you can set what youu like
[01:44] <kostkon> |Anthony|, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2213901&p=12971506#post12971506
[01:44] <holstein> !firewall
[01:44] <|Anthony|> thank you kostkon
[01:45] <kostkon> |Anthony|, create the .alsoftrc as described there
[01:45] <kostkon> file*
[01:45] <|Anthony|> thanks i'll read that in just one moment
[01:46] <chamunks> https://gist.github.com/corin12355/6157378 This is what lead me to believe that I could.
[01:46] <chamunks> This blocks TOR exit nodes from communicating with the server apparently for the most part.
[01:47] <n-st> could it be that the upgrade 12.04 → 14.04 creates a new group 'ssl-certs'?
[01:47] <chamunks> holstein, from what I could see UFW was just a more user friendly frontend to iptables.
[01:48] <chamunks> I'm already using UFW in a few cases.
[01:48] <holstein> chamunks: whatever tools you like to use.. not sure if there is an "import" setting.. for iptables like that
[01:49] <chamunks> holstein, in that gist link I posted theres something that creates a rule or something along those lines.
[01:49] <chamunks> But ok thanks for getting back to me.
[01:50] <holstein> chamunks: you can.. but, its the "import" thing im addressing
[01:51] <lrrr1> ok.. I have a random issue that seems to happen with ubuntu 12.04... for some reason my machine seems to stop being able to access the / drive
[01:51] <lrrr1> if i do it via the gui i just get the little scrolling wheel with the word "searching"
[01:51] <holstein> chamunks: if you consider copying a file over an "import", then sure.. but, you wont be able to use something from another firewall
[01:51] <lrrr1> but the root never loads... even running ls in the terminal will take forever and it will never show
[01:51] <chamunks> holstein, ah thanks for clearing up my language on that.
[01:51] <lrrr1> i have to reboot the computer to get it to respond again
[01:51] <chamunks> I'm not really very network level savvy yet.
[01:52] <chamunks> holstein, I do know a fair bit thus far though.  That said "Copying of the file" that sounds encouraging.
[01:52] <lrrr1> and I keep getting System Program problem detected
[01:52] <holstein> chamunks: i say, just set up what you need with the tool you are using.. ufw works well for most things
[01:53] <chamunks> I'm just looking to block proxies from connecting to a service I run for some clients.
[01:53] <chamunks> Theres very few cases that proxies should be allowed in this scenario.  So I found this little toy for blocking TOR nodes which is pretty sweet.
[01:53] <holstein> chamunks: nothing is preventing you from doing that with a firewall tool.. dont expect to import anything from another os
[01:54] <holstein> chamunks: everything about linux is open, if someone wants to faciliate you importing something they can
[01:54] <chamunks> Yeah importing was clearly not the correct terms.
[01:54] <chamunks> holstein, https://www.iblocklist.com/list.php?list=xafnpguypyaewkmuugbd&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz is what I was going to use.
[01:55] <chamunks> cidr format looks like its about the correct formatting to be similar to the one used in that TOR tool.
[01:55] <holstein> chamunks: use whatever the tool you want to use needs..

[02:14] <gas-sho> mmm.  i see a niche where using internet technology to educate about 'manners' would lead to less sand and more vaseline for freenode
[02:14] <gas-sho> sand means friction
[02:14] <gas-sho> vaseline means relief
[02:14] <gas-sho> ok?

[02:21] <DrGrov> Hi, back with the resolution issue. Is there any possibilities that a faulty and/or too long HDMI cable could cause my resolution issues not getting 1920x1080 properly as intended?
[02:23] <DrGrov> Would it be easy to upgrade to 14.04 when I have 13.10 on a SSD and my /home on a 1TB separate drive? I know that 13.10 is soon finishing support.
[02:23] <carlosqueso> DrGrov...don't see why not...that was my setup (on a much smaller drive) for a long time
[02:24] <DrGrov> carlosqueso: Easy to get over the stuff afterwards, yes?
[02:24] <DrGrov> To my new user that is
[02:25] <carlosqueso> DrGrov...you can set the install to use your current /home as the new /home, all your settings should make the transfer no problem
[02:27] <carlosqueso> DrGrov: just make sure you don't choose to format the /home partition!
[02:28] <carlosqueso> DrGrov: wait....you're just doing an upgrade?
[02:32] <zipc> i got an error during apt-get update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7641912/ what could be the cause of this?
[02:32] <DrGrov> carlosqueso: Yes, my plan is to download the 14.10 ISO on a USB stick, boot up and see if 14.04 can get my resolution right straight away
[02:33] <DrGrov> Having issues in Xubuntu 13.10 getting it to display properly at 1920x1080, not 1360x768 and choppy screen while forcing it to 1920x1080
[02:34] <carlosqueso> DrGrov: I'd pop in the USB stick, but if it works, then just do the upgrade from within Ubuntu, you'll spend MUCH less setup time
[02:34] <carlosqueso> of course, I'm going to need to completely reinstall my next time as I managed to completely hose my Xubuntu install somehow
[02:34] <DrGrov> carlosqueso: That is true
[02:35] <DrGrov> carlosqueso: But I just remove the OS from the SSD and install on top of that and keep my 1TB with /home
[02:35] <carlosqueso> DrGrov: either way will work...unfortunately for me, I forgot to set up a seperate /home this time :(
[02:36] <Bashing-om> zipc: corrupted control file: try -> sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists , sudo mkdir -pv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial , sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- .
[02:37] <DrGrov> Well I will be damned
[02:37] <DrGrov> The Eco-TV mode seems to have sorted things out on my TV ROFL
[02:38] <carlosqueso> it's MAGIC!
[02:38] <DrGrov> Now it is sharp as intended and I can finally see icons
[02:38] <DrGrov> This is why I keep my TV's for such a long time before I change :P
[02:38] <carlosqueso> you just needed help from Captain Planet
[02:40] <zipc> Bashing-om: what could be the cause of this?
[02:42] <DrGrov> carlosqueso: Yes please :)
[02:52] <sanjay> hi frnds.......
[02:54] <Locke2002> hllo!
[02:59] <Bashing-om> zipc: Could have been caused by a number of things, such that the info that the package manager required was not available. All we did was remove those control files, re-create the 'partial' directory, and re-create the control files by 'update'.
[03:01] <zipc> maybe from internet  disconnection
[03:04] <pepee> does anyone know how to use firefox with gstreamer to play videos through VAAPI?
[03:07] <Bashing-om> zipc: Yeah, maybe, could sure causse that data base to be in a in-complete state.
[03:09] <Malsasa> Hello, I visit https://errors.ubuntu.com/ today. But I see only grid, no any chart line. I use Chromium, even I use Konqueror and the grid indeed doesn't appear. Are my browers error or the service get a problem? Thank you?
[03:13] <histo> Malsasa: I don't see anything here either on firefox
[03:13] <Bashing-om> Malsasa: I see no fault with the web page -- I am using Goggle-chrome .
[03:18] <Malsasa> histo: I try Firefox, and the statistic charts didn't appear either.
[03:19] <Malsasa> Bashing-om: I am sorry, maybe there is a problem so all my browsers can't show the chart. But thank you.
[03:22] <Bashing-om> Malsasa: \0/ .. strange .. maybe a theme color setting (??) that hides the rows ??
[03:22] <Malsasa> Bashing-om: yes, I feel it's strange too.

[04:43] <billy_ran_away> that's not working for me
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> saikat: try the #ubuntu-devel guys, might know anything more about it
[04:44] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: : zipc ;; "/run/user/1000/gvfs" recon it is a usb device that has that lock on dpkg ???: zipc -> sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock <-.
[04:44] <saikat> thanks
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> billy_ran_away: can you remove it from gui software sources?
[04:44] <billy_ran_away> not using gui lotuspsychje
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> saikat: also the #ubuntu-touch guys need help with developers, check it out :p
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> billy_ran_away: sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
[04:46] <billy_ran_away> lotuspsychje: I gave up, just deleted the file out of sources.list.d
[04:46] <billy_ran_away> that apt-add-repository script sucks

[04:47] <valakut> Hey, how do I make a bootable Windows 7 usb stick? Can I just extract the ISO onto the USB stick and boot from it?
[04:47] <saikat> lotuspsychje : did't got any help from #ubuntu-devl
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> saikat: ask again in another time mate
[04:48] <saikat> okay
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> valakut: you need a program 'winusb' for ubuntu to create w7 boot usb
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> valakut: just extracting the iso will not work
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> valakut: just keep in mind that adding a ppa can be dangerous
[04:52] <noobdude> keep trying to boot Ubuntu from my usb made a partition in disc manager put the ISO on my flashdrive and changed the boot order in the BIOS menu but get this message: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=93059
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: try the debian guys mate, this is the ubuntu channel
[04:54] <noobdude> it is Ubuntu i'm trying to install that is just a pic I found of the screen I get Master Boot Registry error
[04:55] <spyder> Is there a software available to compare to faces to see if they are same person?
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: did you set usb to boot first? how did you create your boot usb?
[04:55] <noobdude> another page said I need do insert the windows disc but this POS came with it already loaded no disc so no repair
[04:56] <noobdude> yes I changed the boot order in BIOS
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: you sure your usb stick is made correctly?
[04:57] <DarkAceXtreme> where are man documents kept? I downloaded a program and it came with a directory named man, inside was "tmsu.1.gz"
[04:57] <noobdude> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ easy as 123 my ass
[04:57] <DarkAceXtreme> I guess I'd like to place it appropriately, for future reference, if needed
[04:57] <noobdude> yes format fat 32 first then load the ubuntu ISO
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> DarkAceXtreme: after installing a program, you should be able to man program from terminal
[04:58] <noobdude> used the same iso in Oracle virtual box so it works but I had to make a partition because I needed moar memory
[04:59] <DarkAceXtreme> I cp'd the binary to my usr/bin
[04:59] <DarkAceXtreme> that was my installation
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: try unetbootin maybe
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: from wich Os are you trying to make the iso?
[05:00] <noobdude> tried it first and lili live usb creator that's the VM
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: your machine has uefi?
[05:01] <noobdude> ubuntu gnome 13.10
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: if you set bios to first boot usb, and stick with ubuntu is made correctly you should be able to boot it
[05:02] <noobdude> does windows 8 have uefi?
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: most cases ye
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: doublecheck if your bios is set to secureboot or not
[05:02] <noobdude> one place said I needed to turn on the legacy part in BIOS is that important?
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: yes
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> noobdude: some machines wont accept other Os install, when secureboot is enabled
[05:03] <noobdude> i'll turn both on and check back
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | noobdude
[05:04] <Elouise> how to connect to wifi in Kubuntu?
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: do you see a wifi icon?
[05:05] <Elouise> no :/
[05:05] <Elouise> for some reason it disappeared
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: did you see it first time maybe?
[05:05] <Elouise> yeah.
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: maybe try to manual add nm-applet to startup items, see what it does?
[05:06] <Elouise> how u do that
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: well i never use kubuntu, but you should have startup items icon i think
[05:07] <Elouise> yep
[05:07] <Elouise> so
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: maybe the #kubuntu guys might also know
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: but you can try adding nm-applet and reboot
[05:08] <Elouise> dunno how to do that
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: just add new item in startup items: nm-applet
[05:09] <Elouise> in script?
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: you have 3 lines to fill in: name: nm-applet command: nm-applet description: wifi
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: no, in the startup items list
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: you have something similar in kubuntu?
[05:10] <Elouise> uh
[05:10] <Elouise> Idk what to do what is a start up item
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: check your program icons, and see if you find any startup items icon
[05:11] <Elouise> ok
[05:11] <Elouise> I have Startup Disk Creator, Autostart, Launch feedback and Splash screen
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: try autostart yes
[05:13] <Elouise> k
[05:13] <Elouise> Aight s
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> Elouise: but ask for safety again in #kubuntu plz, im not sure kubuntu uses networkmanager
[05:23] <FLeiXiuS> How can I get my system to use all nameservers  /etc/resolv.conf
[05:23] <FLeiXiuS> When attempting to resolve a hostname
[05:28] <Locke2002> Elouise: Thanks for having that conversation with lotuspsychje, it prompted me to revisit my wifi settings and now I've got it managed automatically in the gui instead of staticly in /etc/network/interfaces :)
[05:28] <Elouise> how
[05:28] <Elouise> Locke2002:?
[05:29] <Elouise> now i got it lol
[05:29] <Locke2002> haha, nice
[05:49] <Guest96619> could someone please help me with an issue im having with ubuntu please?
[05:49] <Locke2002> Guest96619: Ask your question and if anyone can help they will
[05:49] <FLeiXiuS> Guest96619, Sorry we dont use ubuntu here
[05:49] <Guest96619> well i just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04
[05:49] <Guest96619> and im sorry for my noob status but the top bar (not sure what it is called) is completely blank
[05:50] <Guest96619> an ideas how to make it show date/time/applets/etc again?
[05:50] <aeon-ltd> Guest96619: a screenshot may help, it's likely a package didn't install properly or a application didn't start at boot
[05:51] <Guest96619> i've rebooted 7 million times already, and i've been to every page i could find after googling the issue. I've reinstalled unity and cleared compiz cache, nothing works
[05:56] <Guest96619> this is a screen shot showing what i mean. notice the top bar says firefox but there should be date/time/etc on the top right, however its just blank
[05:56] <Guest96619> http://i.imgur.com/UWKyM9s.png
[06:02] <aeon-ltd> Guest96619: there are a lot of suggestions here have you tried them all? http://askubuntu.com/questions/45970/missing-date-time-applet-from-top-unity-panel
[06:41] <c0mrad3> hey what is the best irc client for ubuntu
[06:41] <Wulf> c0mrad3: IRCCloud
[06:41] <KindOne> lolno
[06:41] <KindOne> irccloud is crap
[06:41] <KindOne> I like hexchat for a GUI and irssi for a CLI
[06:42] <Wulf> KindOne: ubuntu is more about GUI, so use hexchat
[06:42] <KindOne> Wulf,some of us have vps's that are only CLI
[06:43] <c0mrad3> Wulf: i need a application for computer
[06:43] <c0mrad3> Wulf: and irc cloud is form the browser
[06:43] <Wulf> c0mrad3: hmm.. okay
[06:43] <KindOne> kinda difficult too run a GUI program from CLI
[06:44] <c0mrad3> KindOne: is it cool and easy to customisable
[06:44] <Wulf> c0mrad3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients
[06:45] <KindOne> im sure you can read the help documents and figure it out
[06:46] <c0mrad3> KindOne: tq let me check it out
[07:03] <tornado001>  Hello! Can you speak German?
[07:11] <etyrnal> where the best place to get help troubleshooting black screen after grub, but before login screen?
[07:11] <Jordan_U> etyrnal: Are you using proprietary drivers?
[07:12] <etyrnal> it this point, i'm not sure, but i think so, maybe...  machine has a nvidia 6200 in it
[07:13] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, machine was fine, then it locked up on my 10yr old son, who solved lockup my powercycling... machine came back up to black screen after grub, but before gui login/splash
[07:13] <etyrnal> not sure if there were any un-rebooted updates etc
[07:14] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, what layer is the problem likely to be in...  it's not the card, because i can dual boot the machine up into windows, and it works ok that way
[07:14] <Jordan_U> etyrnal: At first I thought that you meant that you just weren't getting the fancy plymouth boot splash, but the login screen displays fine. Is that the case?
[07:15] <etyrnal> my biggest fear with Linux has always been trying to trouble shot graphics from cli
[07:15] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, no... after grub starts to launch default grub option, screen goes black
[07:16] <Jordan_U> etyrnal: And stays black?
[07:16] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, yeah... forever...  but i know that machine is ok, because ctrl-alt-del does trigger a normal shutdown/reboot
[07:17] <Jordan_U> etyrnal: What happens if you try to boot in recovery mode?
[07:17] <etyrnal> i logged in with recovery, and did a mount -o remount, rw /  and edited /boot/grub/grub.cgf to give me verbose boot...
[07:18] <etyrnal> recovery mode menu looks ok.  will let me enable network...
[07:18] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, can get to root shell etc
[07:22] <etyrnal> Jordan_U, so after i edited the grub.cfg i can see the verbose boot process, but nothing seems to be very telling as far as my experience goes
[07:22] <Jordan_U> etyrnal: Please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
[07:22] <Jordan_U> !pastebinit | etyrnal

[08:23] <Hexagonite> Does anybody know a working driver for Radeon HD 8***
[08:24] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, fglrx?
[08:24] <Hexagonite> brightness doesn't work :S
[08:24] <Hexagonite> it's stuck at max
[08:24] <ubuntubox> I think thats not a driver issue...
[08:25] <Hexagonite> acpi_backlight=vendor doesn't seem to work, can't use the Fn keys
[08:25] <Hexagonite> ubuntubox: what's the issue then?
[08:27] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, is it a desktop?
[08:27] <Hexagonite> nope, a laptop
[08:27] <Hexagonite> Acer Aspire V5 122P
[08:29] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, is it a Dual/Hybrid graphics laptop?
[08:29] <Hexagonite> ubuntubox: integrated graphics
[08:31] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, what driver are you using?
[08:31] <Hexagonite> ubuntubox: right now fglrx
[08:32] <Hexagonite> I've tried fglrx-updates and the one from AMD's website, both didn't make any changes :S
[08:34] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, AFAIK using the AMD propritary driver fixes the brightness control issue.... are you using the latest supported kernel? what is the version of fglrx?
[08:34] <Hexagonite> err, how do I check which version of fglrx I have?
[08:35] <Hexagonite> nevermind, forgot about ccc
[08:35] <Hexagonite> ccc says 13.35.1005
[08:35] <Ab3L> hi.
[08:36] <Ab3L> i've installed debconf. but when there's an upgrade or a new fresh install of a software that needs to use debconf, i get this message
[08:36] <Ab3L> Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-ab3l" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
[08:36] <Ab3L> as i don't want to change ownership of that path, does someone knows any other workaround?
[08:36] <Ab3L> (i've configured debconf to use kde interface instead of default dialog comand line).
[08:36] <Ab3L> btw it seems everything works fine even with this error, but the error message is quite annoying.
[08:40] <ubuntubox> Hexagonite, try this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/162409/brightness-not-working-on-an-hp-pavilion-dv6-with-a-ati-radeon-hd6770m

[08:41] <dkorras> hi guysm can anyone help  me with Plex and Powernap?
[08:42] <ubuntubox> dkorras, what do you mean by "Help" ?
[08:43] <dkorras> ubuntubox, i want my ubuntu server that is my media server to "sleep" when noone is watching any media on Plex
[08:43] <dkorras> and I know powernap can monitor a process / port. I just know know how to set that up
[08:45] <ubuntubox> dkorras, try asking here #plex
[08:45] <dkorras> many many thanks
[08:49] <sveta> https://pastee.org/mkw39 how do i get them all be the same?
[08:50] <ikonia> sveta: that's set correctly
[08:52] <sveta> ikonia, thought I'd've found the issue.. https://pastee.org/nrwf9 is the full issue, mosh isn't getting through properly
[08:53] <ikonia> sveta: why are you asking in here ? you're using Debian, you should be in #debian
[08:53] <sveta> ah thanks, i forgot that server is using another os
[08:53] <ikonia> or have I missed it
[08:53] <ikonia> ha ha, easy done
[08:54] <sveta> easy what?
[08:54] <ikonia> if you're running multiple boxes
[08:54] <ikonia> easy to mistake the OS's
[08:54] <ikonia> so the laptop is ubuntu and the server debian in that output ?
[08:54] <ikonia> or have I got it wrong ?
[08:55] <sveta> you're right
[08:55] <ikonia> apologies, then, my fault, I thought they where both debian
[08:56] <Armag3dd0n24> odd question, when I try and run a sudo command from the terminal, it says unable to resolve host???????
[08:56] <sveta> it's likely a server side issue anyway
[08:56] <Hexagonite> ubuntubox: it didn't work
[08:56] <ikonia> sveta: are you sure ? the client message
[08:56] <ikonia> mosh-server needs a UTF-8 native locale to run
[08:57] <ikonia> is that actually saying "the server side component needs this" or the client needs it to run the server connection ?
[08:57] <Armag3dd0n24> http://minus.com/i/fra5WmIOcdyS
[08:57] <ikonia> Armag3dd0n24: your hostname isn't resolvable to a hostname on your machine
[08:57] <sveta> ikonia: I don't know what a 'native locale' is or why mosh would care. I would ideally like to have the same locale on both these computers.
[08:57] <Armag3dd0n24> how do I fix it? :S
[08:58] <ikonia> sveta: sorry, I meant does the server side component need that locale installed on it to run, or is it the client saying "I need this locale on my local machine to be able to make the connection/display content from the server daemon"
[08:58] <ikonia> Armag3dd0n24: have you changed your hostname or your host file recently
[08:58] <sveta> I don't know nor I know how to find out
[08:58] <Armag3dd0n24> nah I wanted to but it didn't work
[08:59] <ikonia> Armag3dd0n24: so "yes" you did try to do this then
[08:59] <sveta> you will notice that I'd like to get rid of the US locale but it wants to see it for some reason
[08:59] <deadpirates> Kill me somebody kill me
[08:59] <ikonia> sveta: is the locale it's complianing about installed onthe laptop ?
[08:59] <ikonia> deadpirates: not in this channel please.
[08:59] <sveta> no, because I don't need it
[08:59] <deadpirates> !ikonia, where should I
[09:00] <ikonia> sveta: ok, so a quick "guess" baed on that output I'd guess it's client side complaint
[09:00] <sveta> ikonia: "Unfortunately, the local environment (LANG=en_US.UTF-8) specifies the character set "US-ASCII"," <-- the problem (presumably by client it means the ubuntu laptop)
[09:00] <ikonia> sveta: sorry yes, I should be clearer, the laptop, yes
[09:00] <sveta> in thepaste you also see that some of locale variables are set to that
[09:00] <sveta> I would not like the US locale to be set anywhere
[09:00] <deadpirates> this room is full of bot
[09:01] <ikonia> sveta: on the debian box is the locale set to US in general, or just in that application ?
[09:01] <sveta> deadpirates: "help! I'm human!"? :)
[09:01] <ikonia> deadpirates: no, it's not, it has most humans
[09:01] <sveta> hehe
[09:01] <deadpirates> !sveta, whats ur problem ??
[09:01] <ikonia> deadpirates: please stop prefixing things with !
[09:01] <sveta> ikonia: the paste has 'locale' output for the server too :)
[09:01] <ikonia> deadpirates: it's triggering the one bot
[09:01] <ikonia> sveta: is that a "shell" or the shell running the application
[09:02] <sveta> didn't parse that
[09:02] <ikonia> sveta: i'm trying to undeand if htat's a generic shell or the output of the shell running the mosh server
[09:02] <sveta> didn't parse that again
[09:02] <ikonia> sveta: eg: generic all users locale, or a shell setup to run the mosh server
[09:02] <sveta> I mean, I ssh'ed in and ran commands in there, not physically
[09:02] <deadpirates> i am sorry.. I cant help u I afraid
[09:02] <ikonia> sveta: ok, that makes sense
[09:03] <ikonia> sveta: want to try a simple test ?
[09:03] <sveta> (what is a "shell setup to run the mosh server"? I didn't set any mosh shell)
[09:03] <sveta> yes
[09:03] <ikonia> sveta: stop the mosh server on the debian box, manually set in a shell LC_BLAH=en_whatyou want, then start the mosh server from that shell (don't forget to export LC_whatever first)
[09:03] <deadpirates> sveta, are u human !!
[09:04] <ikonia> deadpirates: do you need help with ubuntu ?
[09:04] <deadpirates> ikonia, yes for gods sake
[09:04] <ikonia> deadpirates: ok, so you'll get help if you actualy ask a question
[09:04] <sveta> deadpirates, yes
[09:05] <deadpirates> ikonia, thank u , I will ask u when I need to
[09:06] <deadpirates> ikonia, how can I change the installation directory on ubuntu 14.04
[09:06] <ikonia> deadpirates: installation of what ?
[09:06] <deadpirates> ikonia, any software !!
[09:06] <deadpirates> any package
[09:07] <ikonia> deadpirates: sofware installs to many directories, the locations are set in the packages, so you don't change the location, the package puts it where it's designed
[09:07] <deadpirates> ikonia, are u a bot ?
[09:08] <histo> deadpirates: man hier
[09:08] <ikonia> deadpirates: I've already told you 2no"
[09:08] <histo> lol
[09:08] <deadpirates> histo, too much bot here...
[09:08] <deadpirates> felling unsafe
[09:08] <histo> deadpirates: ubottu is the bot not ikonia
[09:08] <ikonia> deadpirates: there is 1 bot as I've already told you
[09:08] <ikonia> deadpirates: please stop messing around,
[09:08] <deadpirates> ikonia, ok thank u
[09:09] <histo> deadpirates: what is your question?
[09:09] <ikonia> sveta: did you do the test ?
[09:10] <deadpirates> histo, i asked if I can change directory of installation of new software in ubuntu like windows !!
[09:11] <sveta> ikonia, I'm not doing those things manually yet, asking #debian how to sort out https://pastee.org/k8ze5 as I hope it is fixable
[09:12] <histo> deadpirates: linux is not windows. There is a specific directory structure for a reason.  You can change where stuff is installed, but may I ask why you would want to do that?
[09:12] <ikonia> sveta: fair enough, I'm just curious to how that impacts the ubuntu laptop
[09:12] <sveta> I'll tell you that in a moment after they reply (they're rather busy now)
[09:12] <ikonia> sveta: super,
[09:27] <florian> hello, I just tried to connect a gps navigation device via usb but my system doesn't recognize it. what can I do?
[09:27] <histo> florian: does lsusb show it listed?
[09:28] <florian> histo, yes, it does
[09:28] <ikonia> florian: what's not recognising it then ?
[09:29] <florian> ikonia, I thought I could show the tracks saved in the file manager.
[09:29] <ikonia> florian: that's going to depend on a lot of things
[09:29] <ikonia> florian: does this device have linux support ?
[09:29] <florian> but the file manager doesn't recognize it as an external file system
[09:30] <ikonia> florian: it may not be an external file system from the OS's point of view
[09:30] <florian> unfortunately,no, it doesn't. It comes with windows software for loading and editing tracks. and only windows driver files.
[09:31] <ikonia> florian: so I suspect it's not going to work then, I suspect the info is held in a propitary format/database that you need the software to query
[09:31] <ikonia> florian: it's not an uncommon thing with gps devices
[09:31] <histo> florian: what kind of gps is it?
[09:31] <florian> ikonia, are there gps devices at all that work witch GNU/Linux software?
[09:31] <ikonia> florian: yes, there are some
[09:32] <florian> ikonia, it's called navgear. lsusb says "Bus 005 Device 003: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device"
[09:32] <histo> florian: is there a model?
[09:32] <florian> ikonia, but I don't know what to read from this information.
[09:33] <florian> histo, what kind of model?
[09:33] <ikonia> florian: looks like it's not something thats got a good identifier in the usb database
[09:33] <histo> florian: like is it made by 'navgear' or is that the model of the it?
[09:34] <histo> florian: like ford mustang, or chevy camaro,  what is the make and model of the gps device
[09:40] <florian> histo, from all I can read in the www and on the device itself, navgear is the make, and the model is PX-1245-675
[09:41] <histo> florian: well i'm not finding much online about it working with linux. You could fire up a windows vm and install guest additions and enable usb so you can manage it.
[09:42] <florian> histo, is it very complicated to do so?
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> florian: maybe wine can load your gps software also, works on garmin devices sometimes
[09:44] <histo> florian: not really.
[09:44] <histo> lotuspsychje: I thought wine didn't have access to usb
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> histo: not sure myself :p
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> florian: does your device have an sd card inside?
[09:45] <florian> lotuspsychje, no, it does not.
[09:45] <histo> florian: not hard, install virtualbox create a new machine. install windows to that machine. Then under the machine you have to install guest additions and setup a usb filter.
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> florian: maybe try plugin with sd card on ubuntu?
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> bbl
[09:46] <histo> florian: yeah does it have an sdcard or external storage on it?
[09:48] <florian> histo, there's no sd card. Im not sure about external storage. The file manager doesn't recognize it anyway, like it does with my camera, for example, which carries a sd card.
[09:49] <histo> florian: yeah, there's probably some type of proprietary interface to it. Unless you want to reverse engineer it, I suggest using a vm and the software they provide for their device. Perhaps email the manufacturer and see if they have a linux software availible.
[09:53] <florian> histo, yeah, I just got to their website. There's no GNU/LInux compatible driver, as expected. I guess I give in and use windows, or ...
[09:53] <florian> histo, ikonia ... what should I be looking for if I try to get a GNU/Linux compatible GPS device?
[09:57] <histo> florian: you don't need a driver you need software
[09:58] <histo> florian: workaround would be virtualbox windows machine  with their software running.
[09:58] <florian> histo, I just installed gpsprune but I don't know how to address the device from this program
[10:01] <histo> florian: no idea wth gpsprune is
[10:01] <mohsinhijazee> This package contains documentation for a library: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/libcairo2-doc/filelist
[10:01] <mohsinhijazee> Is there a program I can use to browse documentation of such libraries offline?
[10:02] <sveta> hi, i resolved previous issue by setting proper locales on the server, but on ubuntu i really don't see how to make 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' prompt for the locales i need, and ``update-locale'' doesn't help either
[10:02] <florian> histo, it's a gps track editor. just another sec, I'm at it ...
[10:10] <loa> is there something like channel search in freenode? for example i want find popular and active channel about pc hardware.
[10:10] <histo> !alis | loa
[10:10] <histo> loa: you could do something like /msg alis list *hardware*   you can also set min and max user counts
[10:11] <loa> histo, thx, sorry for offtopic
[10:14] <florian> histo, the device is mounted (?) at /dev/bus/usb/005/003 . lsusb output was "Bus 005 Device 003: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device". There is actually a software, gpsbabel, which can read those devices. But how would I address it?  Simply with "dev/bus/usb/005/003"?
[10:17] <histo> florian: it's not mounted there. Mounting is something different. That's a special file location that refers to the device itself
[10:18] <histo> florian: look at your dmesg output when you plug it in for more information on what your system is seeing it as and where
[10:19] <xanna> hello i am new in linux and i just install ubuntu studio i want to run small lokal radio station any advice where to find some help?
[10:20] <xanna> on line
[10:20] <xanna> so it want be local :)
[10:21] <histo> xanna: #ubuntu-studio channel
[10:21] <xanna> thank you indeed :)
[10:22] <histo> xanna: sorry #ubuntustudio
[10:22] <xanna> #ubuntu-studio channel
[10:22] <xanna> ok how to go there ?>
[10:22] <histo> xanna: /join #ubuntustudio
[10:25] <florian> histo, how do I find the path for a certain software
[10:25] <xanna> it looks like dead there histo
[10:26] <UnicornAssassin> #qotd
[10:28] <Sez> florian, eplain further or take simple answers http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_which.htm or http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_whereis.htm or are you looking for package informations?
[10:28] <Sez> xanna, maybe some googleing could help?
[10:29] <histo> florian: huh?
[10:30] <florian> Sez, histo thank you, got it!
[10:30] <xanna> sure it could :) i just thought here may be some instant info:)
[10:30] <histo> xanna: what?
[10:31] <xanna> i just need some guides to start on line radio station and need to know if that is right choice (ubuntu studio ) etc.
[10:32] <xanna> on the studio channel is no one so :(
[10:33] <ikonia> depends what your requirements for "the right choice" is
[10:33] <xanna> well i dont need much :) just to start it and learn
[10:33] <florian> Sez, histo, ikonia, Thank you for your help, I made it! gpsprune is able to read the device via gpsbabel. I only had to find the right address for the device and the location of gpsbabel.
[10:33] <solid_liq> does anyone know what I have to do to make 14.04 look good on a retina display on a mbp?
[10:34] <ikonia> xanna: so why not just use ubuntu and learn ?
[10:34] <xanna> thats what i have now !!!
[10:34] <xanna> ubuntu studio
[10:34] <ikonia> florian: that's superb work, well done
[10:34] <ikonia> xanna: so what are you actually asking then ?
[10:34] <histo> wow http://www.linux.fm/
[10:34] <histo> WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
[10:34] <xanna> what soft i need ?
[10:35] <ikonia> xanna: ok, so what have you done so far to approach this ?
[10:35] <solid_liq> lol
[10:35] <cfhowlett> !mac|solid_liq
[10:36] <solid_liq> histo, current version when it started reading (3.04) maybe, but now 3.14 is current.  I bet it's still busy reading through 3.04 though   lol
[10:36] <solid_liq> cfhowlett, thanks!
[10:36] <xanna> i read about it and i found that ill need the showcast ,etc but as i set i just start it and i thought here my be good place to ask :)
[10:36] <cfhowlett> solid_liq happy2help
[10:36] <xanna> hope it is :)
[10:36] <ikonia> xanna so get the software recommeneded, try it, see how you like it
[10:37] <Sez> ikonia: guess it starts with the problem where to find showcast on studio?
[10:37] <Sez> xanna: am i right?
[10:37] <ikonia> Sez: well, surly he can ask the question then
[10:38] <xanna> well sure you are
[10:38] <soup919> Hello
[10:38] <Sez> ikonia: meta questioning will never stop on irc ;)
[10:38] <xanna> i  am not lazy to do it
[10:38] <soup919> I want to block a url in my hosts file on Ubuntu
[10:38] <cfhowlett> xanna exactly WHAT are you trying to accomplish?
[10:38] <xanna> i am looking for all possible  ways
[10:38] <soup919> 127.0.0.1	example.com
[10:38] <soup919> Will this block example.com?
[10:38] <ikonia> xanna: you've read about a recommended software, try it
[10:38] <xanna> how to install showcast?
[10:38] <ikonia> xanna: see if you like it / don't like it
[10:39] <ikonia> xanna: what does the recommended page your saying say about installing it ?
[10:39] <ikonia> xanna: is it in the ubuntu repos ?
[10:39] <solid_liq> cfhowlett, gah, that page doesn't say anything about recent hardware.  2012 is the newest.
[10:39] <xanna> so what will you recommend for beginner?
[10:39] <Sez> soup919: you should see the hosts file as a shortcut dns-query like you want to connect to bla.blupp.com and dns tells the ip
[10:39] <ikonia> xanna: is there a reason you are ignoring what I'm telling you
[10:39] <ikonia> xanna: you've read about recommended software, have you tried it out ?
[10:40] <xanna> not at all . du not take me wrong please
[10:40] <ikonia> xanna: ok, so try it
[10:40] <ikonia> xanna: see if you like it, if it works for you
[10:40] <xanna> i do not ignore you or your advices
[10:40] <ikonia> xanna: ok, so try it, see if you like it then
[10:40] <Sez> soup919: so yes you can say there bla-blupp.com should be redirected to your loopback ip 127.0.0.1 but maybe you want to go for a real firewall setup?
[10:40] <xanna> but there is like some tar . whatever and i am just new to it !!!
[10:41] <xanna> thats the problem
[10:41] <soup919> Sez, I just want to block a domain for productivity purposes
[10:41] <soup919> No need for something like a firewall
[10:41] <ikonia> xanna: ok, so the first thing to look for is, "is this software available in the ubuntu software repositories"
[10:41] <cfhowlett> xanna by any chance do mean "shoutcast"?
[10:41] <xanna> yes :)
[10:41] <cfhowlett> xanna slow down and answer ikonia's questions
[10:42] <ikonia> xanna: the first thing I'd recommend is "install ubuntu" - not ubuntu studio
[10:42] <xanna> i didnt see there
[10:42] <Sez> soup919: and what exactly is your productivity purpose?
[10:42] <soup919> Sez, I want to avoid procrastinating while I work
[10:42] <soup919> Nothing that requires something as involved as a firewall
[10:43] <xanna> but i did install that one coz somewhere was an info that it have all tools on the board !!!
[10:43] <ikonia> xanna: I suggest going to ubuntu, it's a more supported distro
[10:43] <xanna> and i am confused now :)
[10:43] <histo> ice: xanna there is icecast2 in the repos Don't see shoutcat though.
[10:43] <ikonia> xanna: then I'd suggest installing the software you want to use from the ubuntu repos (package manager) on ubuntu
[10:43] <cfhowlett> xanna icecast is the way to go
[10:43] <xanna> so should i install icecast now?
[10:44] <xanna> ok :)
[10:44] <ikonia> xanna: if that software is not available, you need to decide if you want to use it and try to get it from a different source, or if you want to use a packaged software
[10:44] <Sez> ok, so go for a hosts redirection but do not forget that maybe the tool or service does not readout hosts, although really uncommon.... but direct dnsqueries are possible
[10:44] <ikonia> xanna: however as you are just starting out with this, I strongly advise you to install ubuntu , not ubuntu studio
[10:44] <xanna> i m very thankful for your all help hope i can come back if any problem :)
[10:44] <cfhowlett> xanna in future, ask studio questions in #ubuntustudio
[10:45] <xanna> iv bin on that channel but there is no one !:)
[10:45] <ikonia> xanna: right so "install ubuntu, it's a better supported distro"
[10:45] <ikonia> xanna: understand what I'm saying ?
[10:45] <cfhowlett> xanna and yet someone is there *right now* offering to help you...
[10:46] <florian> histo, Sez, ikonia, I'm still not through with Gps devices and stuff but that's more a software problem now. Thanks again for your superb and friendly help! Goodbye.
[10:47] <histo> florian: np
[10:47] <Sez> procrastinating
[10:47] <Sez> did not here that for a while ;)
[11:02] <xanna> ok one more thing ! i can not install guest addition ? is there better way like in the terminall ?
[11:02] <xanna> i see the icon of the CD on my desktop
[11:03] <xanna> but what now please ?
[11:03] <Sez> xanna, where exactly are you trying exactly what to do?
[11:03] <Sez> sounds like you want to install into a virtualbox something?
[11:04] <xanna> to install guest addition on studio
[11:04] <xanna> so iv already have the icon on the desktop
[11:04] <xanna> what next please ?
[11:04] <xanna> open ?
[11:05] <Sez> studio? dunno don't work with that and guest addition? sounds like oracle virtual box for me
[11:05] <xanna> yes it is studio on v box
[11:05] <xanna> i need to learn first right?
[11:05] <xanna> thats why i do it on vbox
[11:06] <Sez> xanna:  yes you need to learn and yes you need to read before you learn and asking somebody else will be sometimes a quick hack but you will learn better if you read and understand
[11:07] <xanna> i agree with you Sez
[11:07] <Sez> xanna: but for your virtualbox answer yes usually it should support ubuntu just start the scripts as uid 0/root <- superuser if you wont know
[11:07] <xanna> but is that mean i can not get hand with it now here ?
[11:08] <Sez> xanna, that means all your questions so far are explained in wide and much better than quick hack answers here could help you better
[11:09] <Sez> xanna: that does not mean nobody will help you but if i would ask you say how i have to drink a glass of water what would you answer me?
[11:10] <xanna> ok :) thank you for your time i gonna take your advice and go back to read :) ill come back with more knowledge
[11:10] <xanna> drink slowly :)
[11:10] <Sez> its not about coming back with more knowledge its more about beeing more precise in asking questions
[11:11] <xanna> ok
[11:11] <habaibiaz> .
[11:11] <habaibiaz> Is there any one who ever has worked with raspberry-pi ? Can i install ubuntu server on it?
[11:11] <xanna> what command i have to put on console to install guest additions ?
[11:11] <histo> habaibiaz: yes , yes
[11:12] <zengina> sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[11:12] <histo> habaibiaz: I would stick with rasbian though
[11:12] <ikonia> ubuntu is not available on the pi
[11:12] <ikonia> it is not designed for arm v6
[11:13] <habaibiaz> @ikonia I do not think so. It would via arm v6
[11:14] <ikonia> it woudl via arm v6 ?? what
[11:14] <habaibiaz> @ikonia I do not think so. It would worked via arm v6 *
[11:14] <xanna> what command i have to put on console to install guest additions ?
[11:14] <ikonia> habaibiaz: it does not
[11:14] <ikonia> habaibiaz: if you are asking "can I do it" and I tell you "no" - why are you asking if you think you know the answer
[11:15] <ikonia> habaibiaz: if you know it works on arm v6 why are you asking "can I do to this" and ignoring when I say "no"
[11:15] <ikonia> habaibiaz: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5150
[11:17] <xanna> what command i have to put on console to install guest additions ?
[11:17] <habaibiaz> @ikonia Is there any board that can work with ubuntu server?
[11:17] <ikonia> habaibiaz: why do you specfically want an OS that doesn't work with the hardware platform
[11:18] <ikonia> habaibiaz: there are many Debian based variations that work on the pi
[11:18] <ikonia> such as you've already been told Raspbian
[11:29] <Guest99912> 怎么
[11:34] <airtonix> numix circle theme + gnome-shell 3.10 = very nice. i like.
[11:35] <vagvaf> hello ppl, i have 2 issues 1) when i leave my desktop idle for a long time and the screen goes blank, sometimes it fails to load the "lock" screen so that i can log back in 2) when this happens and i restart gdm with 'sudo service gdm restart' from the terminal i have no sound
[11:40] <AndreasL> Hey guys. I'm setting up an Ubuntu Server, and I need to leave it unattended for a very long time. That is, I won't have physical access, only ssh access. The problem is that in the event of some event that requires physical input, the only person with physical access to the server does not know a thing about Linux. How can I set up my system so that it will be easily recoverable (i.e. restore
[11:40] <AndreasL> it to some state where I can access it from ssh) by this person?
[11:40] <AndreasL> bit of a strange question, I admit
[11:41] <ikonia> AndreasL: what would require physical access ?
[11:41] <cfhowlett> !server|AndreasL ask in the other channel??
[11:42] <AndreasL> Right, there is a channel for server. Cheers
[11:42] <AndreasL> ikonia: I don't know. Internet connection failing for instance, for some reason
[11:43] <ikonia> AndreasL: then you wouldn't need access at all, as it would be off the network
[11:43] <AndreasL> ikonia: yes, but it could happen that I accidentally turned off the network adapter inside ubuntu
[11:43] <ikonia> AndreasL: you're not asking realistic questions/situatiosn to be honest
[11:43] <AndreasL> ikonia: I said it was a bit of a strange question :)
[11:44] <ikonia> it's not strange, it's not realistic
[11:44] <AndreasL> it's not very clear, I agree
[11:44] <AndreasL> hmm, maybe not
[11:44] <AndreasL> I'm just trying to think of things that might happen
[11:45] <ikonia> AndreasL: it's not realistic
[11:45] <AndreasL> I'll be on the other side of the world for a year, so it would be nice if the server stayed up
[11:45] <AndreasL> ikonia: what exactly is not realistic?
[11:45] <ikonia> AndreasL: thye situation you describe and the requirements
[11:46] <AndreasL> maybe not the way I described it
[11:46] <AndreasL> it is however realistic that a server might require physical access during the period of a year
[11:46] <ikonia> AndreasL: sure, then you go and visit the server or employ someone with the skills to do remote hand work
[11:47] <AndreasL> ikonia: unfortunately neither are options. It's just a personal server
[11:47] <ikonia> hence not realistic
[11:47] <ikonia> AndreasL: then you deal with the consiquences of that
[11:47] <Sez> ikonia: come on be a little nicer ;)
[11:47] <AndreasL> it's not realistic to be able to prevent it from ever malfunctioning, no. But it is realistic to be able to do _something_ to reduce the probabilities of failure
[11:48] <Sez> AndreasL: what about configureing a multiboot setup?
[11:48] <Sez> with a recovery boot partition?
[11:48] <ikonia> AndreasL: how can you reduce the possibility of failure ?
[11:48] <AndreasL> Sez: hmm, that's a good idea. One that would roll back the system to one where it's set up so that I can access it through ssh
[11:48] <ikonia> AndreasL: how can you stop a hard disk dying, or a network connection failing ? or a route dying
[11:48] <AndreasL> ikonia: I can't
[11:48] <Sez> so that person x with skill y may only select option z and know to press on of
[11:48] <Sez> +f
[11:48] <ikonia> AndreasL: right, so you can't reduce the option of failure
[11:49] <AndreasL> ikonia: actually, I can. See Sez's idea
[11:49] <ikonia> AndreasL: that's not going to stop anything failing
[11:49] <ikonia> AndreasL: the hard disk will still be dead, the network router will still be down
[11:49] <AndreasL> ikonia: no, it won't protect against hard drive failure, no
[11:49] <AndreasL> the network router will be maintained
[11:49] <ikonia> AndreasL: it won't protect against anything
[11:49] <AndreasL> ikonia: it will protect against myself
[11:50] <ikonia> no, it won't
[11:50] <AndreasL> ikonia: which is arguably the largest threat to the stability of the server
[11:50] <ikonia> whateer
[11:50] <ikonia> it's unreaslistic, sorry
[11:50] <AndreasL> Sez came up with a workable solution. I'd say it isn't :)
[11:50] <ikonia> I don't believe it's workable
[11:50] <Sez> ikonia: so it would be more unrealistic to put up softraid on that box? ;)
[11:50] <ikonia> Sez: where did I say that ?
[11:50] <AndreasL> ikonia: fair enough
[11:51] <AndreasL> ikonia: have you never managed to mess up your system so badly software-wise that anything short of a full re-install would do? I know I have
[11:51] <Sez> ikonia: i just extrapolated too far, nevermind ;)
[11:51] <ikonia> AndreasL: no, I've not, I normally recover problems,
[11:51] <AndreasL> ikonia: you _normally_ recover problems. I do too
[11:52] <ikonia> AndreasL: ok, I'll be clear, I've never put a system to the point where it can't be recovered
[11:52] <AndreasL> all right
[11:52] <AndreasL> well, it's always possible to recover it, but it might be far too inconvenient
[11:52] <ikonia> move the goalposts some more then
[11:52] <Sez> ikonia: like you never touched a hot plate? *eg* scnr
[11:52] <ikonia> Sez: no, I've not, and I don't see what that has to do with anything
[11:53] <Sez> ikonia: sometimes ppl tend to do things even if it is not realistic or illogical or whatever, agreed?
[11:53] <worm`> hello, I would like to install Ubuntu on my hard disk using a SD card instead of a CD or USB stick, is it possible and how?
[11:54] <ikonia> Sez: not interested in if others choose to do foolish things/waste their time
[11:54] <AndreasL> ikonia: I am interested in if I do foolish things
[11:54] <Sez> ikonia: so sometimes ppl like to feel caught by a net wihle walking the rope even if it is hung up >60m high and the net would cut them in pieces if they would really fall
[11:55] <Sez> ikonia: i see thats a good intention and to be on irc in first place *eg* ;)
[11:55] <ikonia> AndreasL: it's up to you - take care with what you do as you're working remote, or convince yourself you have a get out of jail setup, when you don't
[11:55] <ikonia> Sez: I don't know what you just said,
[11:56] <Sez> ikonia: nevermind ;)
[11:56] <AndreasL> ikonia: I intend to do both
[11:58] <AndreasL> hey, totally unrelated question. I need a desktop manager that lets me run a no-fuss custom session that doesn't display the login screen first. LightDM can do this, but it's far too much of a pain-in-the-ass as it tends to ignore its configuration, I've found
[11:58] <AndreasL> I'm currently trying SLiM, but it seems to display the login prompt for a brief second when automatically logging in, which is undesirable (I'm setting up a media center)
[11:58] <ikonia> start the desktop from the shell
[11:58] <ikonia> then there is no need for any login manager
[11:59] <AndreasL> yeah, it just causes a lot of additional problems
[11:59] <ikonia> it causes no additional work
[11:59] <ikonia> just startx
[11:59] <Sez> besides desktop manager implies logging in and selecting wm? *eg*
[11:59] <AndreasL> ikonia: ok, so "override" one of the ttys to automatically log in and startx?
[11:59] <ikonia> AndreasL: you're already logged in, so there is nothing to login to
[12:00] <AndreasL> ikonia: I need it to start at boot
[12:00] <AndreasL> a media center with a terminal prompt is not entirely satisfactory ;)
[12:00] <ikonia> AndreasL: what's the problem with lightdm then ?
[12:00] <ikonia> the default on ubuntu
[12:00] <AndreasL> ikonia: it overrides your configuration options with the last remembered
[12:01] <ikonia> AndreasL: "with the last rememebred"
[12:01] <AndreasL> ikonia: i.e., I set up XBMC as the current session, but it stills logs directly in to Ubuntu
[12:01] <ikonia> you can hardcode options into it
[12:01] <airtonix> interstellar marines on linux now!
[12:01] <AndreasL> ikonia: I've tried so many times. Changing the lightdm.conf, deleting the files that were _supposed_ to hold the user's last session, but to no avail
[12:01] <AndreasL> it's not really documented anywhere either
[12:02] <AndreasL> it just ignores the settings that you'd think would force it to start a particular session
[12:02] <ikonia> I've seen it work very well on dumb kioks terminals just fine, so I guess it must be something to your setup
[12:02] <ikonia> kiosks I meant
[12:02] <AndreasL> ikonia: yeah, I've set it up many times, and you will eventually get it to work
[12:02] <lucasmeher34> server irc.underunixx.com
[12:02] <AndreasL> ikonia: but if you at that point try to just change the default session from the terminal, it happily ignores your efforts
[12:03] <AndreasL> it's incredibly annoying, because LightDM is otherwise excellent
[12:03] <ikonia> AndreasL: why are you doing that - you've just said it's a media server, why are you changing your sesion from the terminal
[12:03] <ikonia> you seem to be creating problems for no reason
[12:03] <ikonia> "I want it to be a media server" "I change my session from the terminal" - those are two different setups
[12:04] <AndreasL> ikonia: because it has no keyboard and mouse
[12:04] <AndreasL> ikonia: only a remote control
[12:04] <ikonia> AndreasL: so why are you changing your sesions
[12:04] <ikonia> set the session and leave it alone
[12:04] <AndreasL> ikonia: because I'm experimenting with custom software
[12:04] <ikonia> then do that on a test machine
[12:05] <ikonia> rather than your production media server
[12:05] <AndreasL> ikonia: it's all personal stuff. I don't have enough computers. Also, I want the experimental software to be usable on my media center
[12:05] <ikonia> sorry, I don't find your approach compatiable with your expectations,
[12:05] <AndreasL> I realize it may sound like I'm creating problems, but I'm really not, believe me
[12:05] <ikonia> you are
[12:05] <ikonia> I'll bow out
[12:06] <AndreasL> ikonia: it's simple: LightDM has configuration options for setting the session used. It ignores them in favor of using the last remembered session for that particular user. How to override this is not documented anywhere, as far as I can tell. You don't see how this is problematic?
[12:09] <mrdigerati> Hi everyone,, my PC just crashed. It randomly seems to just shutdown. It may be the temperature! But is there a definitive way to find out? I am using a cooling pad though.
[12:13] <mrdigerati> Hi all. Can you please help me find out what's wrong with my PC?
[12:13] <mrdigerati> It randomly seems to just shut down.
[12:31] <Guest38970> Hi there. I'm having trouble with GRUB on a RAID setup. If I unplug the second drive (sdb), the machine boots fine. If I unplug the first drive (sda), GRUB displays the boot menu, acts like it's started booting and then the machine reboots to the BIOS.
[12:31] <Guest38970> This is md RAID-1 with LVM on top. md0 is /boot, md1 is the LVM; partitioning is GPT if that matters.
[12:32] <Guest38970> How do I get GRUB to boot the machine successfully from either drive?
[12:36] <Klobrille> hi
[12:37] <Klobrille> how can i record from microphone to mp3 on terminal?
[12:37] <cfhowlett> Klobrille arecord from the terminal
[12:38] <Klobrille> cfhowlett, do you have an example?
[12:38] <cfhowlett>  Klobrille run a terminal:   man arecord
[12:40] <Klobrille> cfhowlett, it does not record in mp3.
[12:40] <Klobrille> i dont want to use wav, voc, raw or au.
[12:41] <cfhowlett> Klobrille avconv or ffmpeg are caveman simple tools to transcode to .mp3
[12:42] <R\w\C> how is everyone today?
[12:42] <cfhowlett> Klobrille I don't know of ANY tool that will record to .mp3 ...
[12:43] <Klobrille> ok thanks
[12:44] <cfhowlett> Klobrille a more polished recorder can be done with audacity ...
[12:45] <WLM|weg> ^^ — Audacity is a lifesaver. I use it everyday
[12:45] <WLM|weg> The compacibility with a lot of OS'es also makes it great
[12:45] <cfhowlett> WLM|weg +1 for audacity!

[13:12] <bloodnut> guys, I've just f***ed my system by enabling Window Decorations in Compiz. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and Unity doesn't come up at all. any ideas what I can do?
[13:13] <bloodnut> when I boot it boots to desktop but there's no shortcuts so there's nothing much to do, I just Ctlr+Alt+1 to another terminal but that's about all I can do
[13:14] <ysh> bloodnut: try booting in recovery mode, undo the compix setting which you think cause the error, then restart
[13:17] <w4|k3r> Need help installing vundle and YCM
[13:17] <bloodnut> ysh: thing is: I don't know how to undo the changes. I did them in a GUI menu that was part of Unity

[13:38] <DrGrov> Hello
[13:39] <DrGrov> I have a screen resolution problem, the TV panel wants me to run 1360x768 but it can handle 1920x1080. It looks fine at 1920x1080@50Hz on the login screen in Xubuntu 13.10 but does not look good when I have logged in at 1920x1080@60Hz. There is screen tearing going on and almost impossible to see fonts etc.
[13:39] <DrGrov> Any good idea on how to fix this in nVidia X Server Settings? I have had this same issue on a LG 42" LCD FullHD TV but do not remember how I fixed it that time.
[13:40] <Robin_Banks> ubuntu rules
[13:40] <Robin_Banks> Gnome ftw
[13:40] <Anomie21> Whats the best way to switch my DNS so i can watch iplayer on my server located in france?

[13:41] <DEK> Hi all :-)
[13:41] <DEK> Am New to this and am looking for some help
[13:42] <cfhowlett> !ask|DEK
[13:42] <DEK> thanks am looking for adobe photoshop
[13:43] <cfhowlett> DEK ask www.adobe.com      this is ubuntu and photoshop doesn't run worth a darn.  see GIMP for alternatives
[13:44] <richurs> hello ? anyone knows ?
[13:44] <Fuchs> depending on what he tries to do: GIMP is a terrible alternative
[13:44] <cfhowlett> richurs re-state your question
[13:44] <Fuchs> he could go to https://appdb.winehq.org  and see what versions run with wine
[13:44] <DrGrov> Any thoughts on why the login screen looks fine but the actual screen does not look that sharp and good?
[13:45] <sveta> DrGrov: what is the actual screen? after you log in?
[13:45] <DEK> what is GIMP
[13:45] <sveta> !gimp
[13:45] <DEK> thanks
[13:45] <Robin_Banks> GIMP is alright but it doesn't hold a candle to photoshop
[13:45] <sveta> DEK: Fuchs suggested you to share thoughts on your desired use-case.
[13:45] <DrGrov> sveta: It is the same, 1920x1080 but at 60Hz, the login screen is at 1920x1080 50Hz
[13:46] <richurs> hello, i am trying to install parallels workstation 6 on ubuntu server 14, but getting an error that it cannot install lib32asound2 package, how can i install it manually ?
[13:46] <DEK> am trying to make a business flyer and i need to crop a picture
[13:46] <sveta> DrGrov: 60Hz or higher is required to not damage eyes.
[13:46] <cfhowlett> DEK GIMP will do that with ease
[13:46] <rickb> ubuntu needs to start thinking of the future, telepathic keyboards that work through your webcam.
[13:46] <Robin_Banks> Ubuntu comes with gimp though
[13:46] <DrGrov> sveta: Ok, the panel on this TV can hande 100Hz. Can I try to do a modeline for 100Hz? But it looks sharper and a lot better at 50Hz at the login screen than at the actual desktop
[13:47] <DEK> is Ubuntu a channel
[13:47] <cfhowlett> Robin_Banks "comes with" only in ubuntu-studio
[13:47] <cfhowlett> DEK you are IN the #ubuntu channel
[13:47] <rickb> lol cfhowlett
[13:47] <DEK> lol
[13:47] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu|DEK
[13:47] <sveta> DEK: Ubuntu is a Desktop Linux distribution. #ubuntu is a support channel.
[13:47] <DEK> my bad
[13:47] <arnezt> DEK, it's semilar to photoshop
[13:47] <Sez> richurs: google -> ubuntu server package lib32asound -> apt-get done
[13:47] <sveta> DEK: No problem at all.
[13:48] <DEK> thanks
[13:48] <rickb> all i know is, ubuntu is best desktop linux distro
[13:48] <Sez> DEK: gimp they are right
[13:48] <DrGrov> sveta: But when I booted 14.10 yesterday to see it definitely looked like it should at 1920x1080 and fitted perfectly. Could it be because of the nVidia drivers?
[13:48] <richurs> wow no one knows
[13:49] <cfhowlett> !patience|richurs
[13:49] <Sez> ubottu: i gave him one he wanted a faster one or maybe to be done automagically ;)
[13:50] <rickb> ubottu: a/s/l
[13:50] <rickb> :(
[13:50]  * Sez slaps himself with a big fish trout *eg*
[13:50] <Sez> cfhowlett: of course
[13:51] <arnezt> right... ubuntu is my favorite OS. Thanks guys
[13:52] <sveta> DrGrov: I'm unfortunately not at all familiar with driver issues so you may need to write all the informaton in one line and ask again. It needs to be precise: "I'm looking at login screen, switching the frequency makes it look worse, on other so-and-so Ubuntu version it does that and that... "
[13:53] <DrGrov> sveta: Ok, thank you. Will try again.
[13:55] <DrGrov> I am running Xubuntu 13.10 64-bit with nVidia drivers 319.xxx from the official repositories. I am experiencing problems with my fonts and can not clearly see. The TV has an output of 1920x1080, which it can handle, and should be able to run fluently but can not. At the login screen it is at 1920x1080@50Hz and looks nice and sharp. When I log in at 1920x1080@60Hz to the desktop it is unsharp and makes fonts look terrible. Have had this issue on a LG 42" b
[13:55] <DrGrov> ut do not remember how I did solve it. This TV can not go over 1360x768 it seems, it is looking fine then but yesterday on Ubuntu 14.10 which I did test run it looked perfectly fine at 1920x1080. Anyone know what I am talking about and could help?
[13:59] <dalit> i have compiled su2 and installed. Now , i dont know know how to set path?
[13:59] <dalit> can anybody help?
[14:00] <Sez> dalit: you are stuck, sorry you have compiled and do not know to set path woha
[14:00] <andreas_> Hi. I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bits. I find out that it connects to my wifi, but it gets disconnected after a couble of minutes.
[14:00] <Sez> DrGrov: ever tried 50hz in desktop not only loginscreen?
[14:00] <andreas_> And that happens every time I connect
[14:01] <andreas_> It connects and gets disconnected automatically
[14:01] <dalit> Sez : sure u can help me, the instructions are ready here http://paste.ubuntu.com/7644103/plain/
[14:01] <andreas_> Do you know how I might be able to fix that?
[14:02] <dalit> Sez : i just cannot understand how to set path  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7644103/plain/
[14:02] <DrGrov> Sez: Yes but it does not seem to change at all :/
[14:02] <Sez> dalit i refuse to sign for simple paste service
[14:02] <Sez> DrGov does not sound logical, driver is fired up with loginscreen
[14:02] <dalit> Sez : they say that "When make install is complete, please be sure to add the $SU2_HOME and $SU2_RUN environment variables, and update your $PATH with $SU2_RUN. "
[14:02] <andreas_> My computer is a Dell Inspiron
[14:03] <DrGrov> Sez: Ok, back at 50Hz now. Seems a bit tidier and a bit easier to see.
[14:03] <dalit> surely you can accept it right here
[14:03] <DrGrov> Sez: But it is still a tidy bit difficult to see the fonts completely. They are a bit like "off" so to speak. No crystal clear as they should be.
[14:03] <Sez> dalit: google environment variables on bash for example
[14:04] <dmk__> hello
[14:04] <sveta> hi
[14:04] <dalit> Sez : can u please be more direct
[14:04] <Sez> DrGrov: yes i see you maybe need some glasses? ;) no really dunno why x does and y does not
[14:05] <Sez> dalit: sure, i guess you try me to nuts
[14:05] <DrGrov> Sez: I will try to tweak the brightness, contrast and so now to see what will happen.
[14:06] <Sez> dalit: somebody who is able to compile but does not know what environment variable means sure
[14:06] <DrGrov> Sez: It looks ok but not as I inteded so perhaps a bit of tweaking could help out the sharpness and make it more fluent
[14:06] <Sez> DrGrov: i would recommendend to try lower resolutions first
[14:06] <dalit> Sez : no nuts, its my first time of compiling
[14:06] <Sez> dalit: so who ever did tell you about compiling in first place?
[14:07] <andreas_> Guys, can anybody help me with my internet connectivity problem? It's too frustrating that I cannot properly connect to the Internet.
[14:07] <Sez> dalit so why su2?
[14:07] <dmk__> please how can I get root access in terminal,? if I'm putting a root password, I have error :authentication failure, but graphically is working
[14:07] <DrGrov> Sez: Yes but I have had this same issue on a LG 42" LCD. This panel can also handle 1920x1080 when I force it
[14:07] <dalit> the guys out there on su2
[14:07] <tmick> quoexl ,i am coming ,still here?
[14:07] <dalit> su2 for cfd
[14:07] <Sez> dmk__: su or sudo
[14:08] <dmk__> I'm using that, nothing
[14:08] <dalit> Sez : su2 is a computational fluid dynamics program
[14:08] <petsounds> try sudo su
[14:08] <Sez> dalit: so why not ask those guys from su2 for cfd than?
[14:09] <dmk__> I it's possible to change the root password?
[14:09] <cfhowlett> dalit su2 and cfd are very esoteric.  you expect a HUGE influx of fluid dynamics on linux user in this channel?  If not; go to the source and ask the experts

[14:12] <thecha> Svetlana: how do i log in for modem controlls?
[14:13] <sveta> thecha: does 'ifconfig' tell you your IP? If it does, replace last digit with '1' and try to open in web browser.
[14:13] <thecha> thank you so much
[14:13] <Sez> cfhowlett: sure, but were we so outragous?

[14:16] <sveta> thecha: what redial said; specifically you have to find your local IP, not the external one.
[14:16] <thecha> thanks redial and thanks vcery much svetlana for your kindly help

[14:38] <tapamo> Hi to all
[14:39] <tapamo> How to mirror my screen on a projector
[14:39] <redial> using a cable?
[14:40] <tapamo> No, wireless
[14:40] <redial> wireless i have no idea, with cable is so easy
[14:40] <tapamo> Ok, I will do it with cable. Thx
[14:41] <m1dnight> I wonder if you could send a VGA signal over a powerline
[14:41] <davidparker> Hi everyone! I want to set up a webserver on an ubuntu server. Is the best choice a LAMP stack? I will need to run cron jobs on the server to collect files from local directories and make them available online. Is there a preferred language to write scripts in? Do people still use bash shell scripting?
[14:42] <DrGrov> Is it a safe option to use a USB drive to install 14.04 from on my OS SSD so I can keep my /home?
[14:42] <DrGrov> I think that might help a bit on this display issue I am having
[14:43] <coolman_es> hello i have problem with video driver
[14:43] <coolman_es> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7644265/
[14:43] <coolman_es> i need some help plsss
[14:44] <redial> tapamo, i connected with svideo to a monitor with ubuntu, it was easy
[14:44] <redial> i think hdmi would be also easy
[14:45] <cuddylier> Why is 'find' a process constantly on my box using a considerable amount of CPU?
[14:45] <cuddylier> Even after killing all of the 'find' processes, they come back
[14:45] <DrGrov> I mean, is it a trusted way to install from a USB drive? As trusted as from a DVD?
[14:45] <cuddylier> Using like 20% and 30% CPU
[14:45] <tapamo> redial, Thank a lot I will try. My projector is old fashion without HDMI
[14:45] <pavlos> DrGrov, yes, usb is similar to dvd install
[14:46] <redial> DrGrov : use: sudo dd if=path/to/ubuntu-image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
[14:46] <DrGrov> pavlos: Ok, I did a 14.04 Unetbootin image yesterday and thought to install it. It might be helping my display issues.
[14:46] <redial> for found your usb you can try : sudo fdisk -l
[14:46] <DrGrov> redial: Unetbootin is as well a good choice?
[14:47] <DrGrov> redial: Or dd is the way to go?
[14:47] <redial> o just apt-get install unetbootin
[14:47] <pavlos> DrGrov, make sure the md5sum is correct of the iso
[14:47] <DrGrov> redial: Yes, I will redo the 14.04 for that USB drive.
[14:47] <redial> yes it's a well choice but doesnt work on all computer, your computer should be capable to boot from usb
[14:48] <redial> and in my computer only works if i do it from Linux
[14:49] <redial> yes, unetbootin and dd works equal exactly on ubuntu
[14:49] <DrGrov> Could I easily upgrade also or is it better with a fresh install?
[14:50] <coolman_es> How can i install driver dor display 1?
[14:50] <coolman_es> driver for dipslay 1

[14:51] <coolman_es> need a help pls
[14:51] <pavlos> DrGrov, 14.04 is the latest, you can try it as a live image, then install it
[14:53] <DrGrov> pavlos: Ok. Can I easily then transfer my content from my 1TB /home which is seperate from my OS that is on a SSD?
[14:53] <DrGrov> Sort of transferring it back
[14:53] <DrGrov> Can I take anything else than Ubuntu for getting the latest 14.04? Xubuntu perhaps?
[14:53] <m1dnight> DrGrov: I'm running xubuntu, sure you can :)
[14:53] <DrGrov> Or in order to get the display thing figured out, it is best that I take the default 14.04?
[14:53] <DrGrov> Because I have this issue on 13.10 with Xubuntu
[14:54] <MrCramer> Hello
[14:54] <stuck> hello  ?
[14:54] <DrGrov> m1dnight: Can you point me towards Xubuntu 14.04?
[14:55] <stuck> I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 this morning and now sudo seg faults
[14:55] <stuck> and a bunch of other things are broken
[14:55] <DrGrov> m1dnight: Ah, xubuntu.org :)
[14:55] <stuck> is there an easy way to repair ?
[14:55] <francis> questo canale è italiano?
[14:56] <m1dnight> translate.google.com, I think
[14:56] <pavlos> !it| francis
[14:56] <Stonegate> any confixx specialists in here ?
[14:56] <stuck> no suggesting on how to get past segfaulting sudo ?
[14:57] <cfhowlett> MrCramer greetings.  ask your ubuntu questions.
[14:57] <DrGrov> It is the xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso I take when I have a Intel Xeon?
[14:57] <MrCramer> Hey Stuck, is it sudo that's segfaulting or the command? If it's sudo then you could log in as root
[14:57] <MrCramer> cfhowlett: I'm having issues with displays
[14:58] <pavlos> DrGrov, amd64 is for 64 bit chipsets, Intel as well. i386 is for 32 bit chipsets.
[14:58] <MrCramer> I have 2 ports, one to  a monitor which is fine and anyother to a TV which it won't talk to, xrandr says it's disconnected
[14:58] <cfhowlett> !details|MrCramer details are good.
[14:58] <DrGrov> pavlos: Ok, then I took the right one. Where can I find the correct md5sum usually, the webpage displays it usually somewhere?
[14:58] <MrCramer> when I switch the plugs it displays to the TV fine, so I know it CAN work but I don't know how to without first tricking it
[14:59] <DrGrov> pavlos: Found it, it is on the xubuntu mirror :)
[14:59] <pavlos> DrGrov, good
[14:59] <stuck> do you need more info from me ?
[14:59] <bakflash> hi there, is it possible to delete a gpt partition?: I have a second drive (just for random data) and there is a gpt table apparently (not really sure why, the 'real' gpt partition is on my main drive)
[15:00] <stuck> i can't log in as root - no password on root - need sudo
[15:00] <DrGrov> pavlos: It is correct, then just to use unetbootin to get the stuff done. Is it safer though with dd? I might have a bad feeling about that USB thumb drive since it is USB 3.0. Should I format it before just in case? I have it as ext4 now
[15:01] <DrGrov> Hi ActionParsnip
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Hi DrGov
[15:01] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Do you remember my older problem with getting a LG 42" display to show properly 1920x1080? It was stuck at 1360x768
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> DrGov: no, sorry
[15:02] <pavlos> DrGrov, I prefer unetbootin to copy the iso to your usb device. You may have to format as fat32 and let unetbootin do its magic
[15:02] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Argh! :) No problem. It was something to do with me having to go in nVidia X Server Settings and doing something and creating a seperate xorg.conf.
[15:02] <DrGrov> pavlos: Ok, unetbootin as the usb drive fat32. Roger that.
[15:04] <MrCramer> There seems to be a lot of people coming and going and not much talking
[15:04] <suokunlong> hi, I encounter a wired issue in ubuntu, and I believe it's a bug. Should someone confirm it for me
[15:05] <suokunlong> it related to the browser, but affects all browsers (firefox and chromium
[15:05] <DrGrov> Ok, will be back shortly. Hopefully at least.
[15:06] <cfhowlett> !details|suokunlong
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Drgov: sounds like a bad set not reporting edid properly.
[15:06] <vlad_starkov> Question: What tool should I use to transfer 300Gb of 0.5 - 5Mbyte files on the network between 2 Linux machines: rsync or netcat?
[15:06] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Yes, that is my case :) But I am needing still to upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10. Will you be online in a little while?
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: probably
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> vlad_starkov: id go rsync (grsync if you want a gui)
[15:07] <suokunlong> cfhowlett: when I was adding a bug to the MAB list for libreoffice here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75025
[15:07] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Great :)  Hopefully it will just take 15-20 minutes to get this sorted out.
[15:07] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Hope to see you soon, I know you know the problem :)
[15:08] <DrGrov> Brb
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> vlad_starkov: i believe it can talk to sftp (install openssh-server on the destination box)
[15:08] <suokunlong> When I click the "edit" in "Depends on:", it shows the input field with no bug numbers in it
[15:09] <suokunlong> but in the past, when I click "edit" there, it shows a input field (input box) with all the old bugs in the box.
[15:10] <suokunlong> This wrong behaviour happens now both in firefox and chromium, so it's not a firefox issue, it's a ubuntu issue.
[15:10] <suokunlong> and I tested with Fedora 20, it works as expected
[15:11] <suokunlong> I checked my apt-get log, it shows the following recent upgrade info:
[15:11] <suokunlong> Start-Date: 2014-06-13  19:03:43
[15:11] <suokunlong> Commandline: apt-get upgrade
[15:11] <suokunlong> Upgrade: libjson-c2:i386 (0.11-3ubuntu1, 0.11-3ubuntu1.2), libjson0:i386 (0.11-3ubuntu1, 0.11-3ubuntu1.2), openssl:i386 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.2, 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.3), libssl1.0.0:i386 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.2, 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.3)
[15:11] <suokunlong> End-Date: 2014-06-13  19:04:03
[15:11] <sabgenton> davidparker: yes people still use bash
[15:11] <suokunlong> So maybe it's related to those upgrade?
[15:11] <tdrusk> Running 14.04. New install. After updates and installing some software. When I log in my fonts are wrong and my firefox theme is not applied. If I reset the theme with gsettings, switch themes, it works. An ideas?
[15:12] <sabgenton> davidparker:  lamp is a good option
[15:12] <MrCramer> Hey, does anyone know much about displays? In particular hooking up nvidia cards to a TV?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[15:13] <sabgenton> davidparker:  mentioning you want to run a cron job is very vague but if you want to schedule tasks cron is what you normally use
[15:14] <suokunlong> $ cat /etc/issue
[15:14] <suokunlong> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> MrCramer: decent screens repot edid when the video card asks for it.
[15:14] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip:
[15:14] <suokunlong> $ cat /etc/issue
[15:14] <suokunlong> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: yes i saw
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: are there any bugs reported?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: if you log in as a differnt user (make a new one if you need) is it the same?
[15:15] <suokunlong> I dont know. I dont know where to report such bug. I am not sure whose bug it belongs to
[15:15] <MrCramer> ActionParsnip: Sorry? I don't understand
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: report it with the browser. It will be moved if needed
[15:16] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip:  I did not try it
[15:16] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip: I only have one accout there
[15:16] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip:  What I can be sure is that it affects at least firefox and Chromium
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> MrCramer: there is a technology called EDID that tells systems what resolutions and refresh rates are possible. Cheap screens dont do thisand require manual settings by the user
[15:17] <suokunlong> so 99% sure it's not there bug
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: your system can hold literally billions of users, so only having one account is moot
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: make another account, try as that account
[15:18] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip: then I have to get another email address
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> MrCramer: some users find they need to make an xorg.conf to tell the system how to work rather than the hardware working it out
[15:18] <cuddylier> Anyone know why the 'find' process comes up in 'top' and starts using a ton of CPU randomly?
[15:19] <cuddylier> When I kill it, it comes back about 30 minutes later
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: no, its just an ubuntu account on the OS. Its nothing to do with email
[15:19] <MrCramer> ActionParsnip: I've been playing around with xrandr, but it errors when I try and force it
[15:19] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip: you mean I create another account in my OS?
[15:20] <suokunlong> I will try
[15:20] <suokunlong> thanks
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> MrCramer: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,it will make an xorg.conf file. You can then reboot and it may help
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: yes. What modern OS would only allow one local account?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: doid you seriously think this is how Ubuntu is...?
[15:20] <MrCramer> ActionParsnip: Thank you, I'll try that.
[15:21] <suokunlong> I was thinking you let me to create another account in the bug tracker
[15:21] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip "doid"?  :)
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> cfhowlett: typo 'did'
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> suokunlong: no, a new ubuntu account will have vanilla desktop settings
[15:22] <funkster> for me to run a .xsession script when i have autologin enabled with gdm, i have to remove /usr/share/xsession/ubuntu.desktop, is this the right way to do this?
[15:23] <vlad_starkov> ActionParsnip: yep I tried rsync it works pretty fine
[15:24] <vlad_starkov> ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Np
[15:26] <suokunlong> ActionParsnip: I log in with the guest account, now it works as expected
[15:27] <suokunlong> thanks, but isn't it a bug? it may also affect other people, who do not know the workaround
[15:28] <luisja1006> When I connect an hdmi cable to my laptop, nothing happens. Could someone help me? 14.04 restricted extras installed
[15:28] <luisja1006> acer v5
[15:33] <Guest47365> my firefox theme is not the ubuntu one. I never changed it, but it is showing the mozilla theme. How can I fix this?
[15:34] <ruicruz> hi there. does anyone know of an .exe file for windows that installs ubuntu on the disk with dual boot? I'm not taking from usb or dvd.
[15:35] <ruicruz> I use this a long time ago and now with a new PC I can't find it to do the same :p
[15:35] <Luyin> ruicruz: there was the wubi.exe, but that's deprecated afaic
[15:36] <ruicruz> oh
[15:36] <ruicruz> that file is on the iso?
[15:36] <ruicruz> but if its not updated... better get it done other way. :p
[15:38] <AnonLucifer> so, i-ve installed compiz config settings manager and enabled the desktop cube
[15:39] <AnonLucifer> is it possible to give me system errors?
[15:41] <whoever> hi all, in gnome, I am tring to find where the simple-scan icon is stored, but cannot find it, I have tried /user/share/gnome/icons/devices but cannot find it , can some one assist
[15:43] <AnonLucifer> it seems this is not a top hour for discussions :))
[15:45] <pradeep> hello
[15:46] <mdlueck> Anyone familiar with how a ZTE MF636 3G USB stick is suppose to work with Linux? We have it successfully seeing the modem side of the device, not the virtual CD. I believe we are just having trouble making the Internet connection.
[15:53] <AnonLucifer> well, i'm not sure if u need to install the driver for that
[15:53] <reg_> hey ppl. just a quick question. why has ubuntu not addressed the ssl security issue with an ssl update. my system is fully up to date but open ssl version 1.0.1F not H still persists even though there is the 1.0.1H or hiher available. iv browsed the internet to find a way to update and all i find id sudo apt-get install (--reinstall) dist-upgrade
[15:54] <AnonLucifer> how do i check my ssl version?
[15:54] <Blaster> What's the best torrent client for 14.04?
[15:55] <reg_> open ssl version in terminal or ssl version one or the other
[15:55] <Blaster> uTorrent doesn't seem to have a 14.04 package.
[15:55] <karab44> hello
[15:55] <_Eggs_> AnonLucifer: try openssl version from the commandline
[15:56] <karab44> What is actually best screencast recorder with sound and webcam ?
[15:56] <reg_> anything below 1.0.1f including that one is heaartbleed vunrable
[15:56] <_Eggs_> Blaster: Delunge is quite good
[15:56] <AnonLucifer> 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012
[15:57] <xangua> Blaster: deluge and qbittorrent have a utorrent like interface if you like that
[15:57] <reg_> but there is no signs of 1.0.1g for download or even 1.0.2 and i use open ssl for building on and i now cant distrobute anything due to ssl being out dated and security issue
[15:57] <xangua> reg_: if you are using a currently supported ubuntu release you already recieved the bug fix
[15:57] <karab44> I am looking for such desirable options as recording mic, speakers, mixed, webcam and whole screen, window, area and compressing on the fly to many formats
[15:57] <AnonLucifer> as for bit torrent clients, i use the one that comes in ubuntu... it gets the job done :)
[15:58] <Blaster> Which one comes in Ubuntu?  When I tried open a .torrent it didn't find anything to open with.
[15:58] <Blaster> I installed Deluge.
[15:58] <_Eggs_> Blaster: Transmission i think its called
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> AnonLucifer: same, plus the web ui is decent and can be talked to by many android clients
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> Blaster: transmission is installed by default
[15:59] <reg_> problem being it still shows open ssl as ver 1.0.1f which is pre january this year befor heartbleed and it is advised by ssl guys that 1.0.1f is bad
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> Blaster: open torrents with /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[15:59] <AnonLucifer> i have another problem
[15:59] <AnonLucifer> how do i update ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04?
[15:59] <xangua> !heartbleed | reg_ what ubuntu release are you using?
[16:00] <AnonLucifer> i don't want to go through clean install
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> AnonLucifer: in a week or so, it will be offered
[16:00] <reg_> im using 14.04 newes release with all updates performed
[16:00] <Blaster> Ah, yeah Transmission looks good.  Too bad I installed Deluge unnecessarily.   If I apt-get remove will all traces of it be removed?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> AnonLucifer: once it goes to the first point release (14.0.1) you will see it
[16:00] <mdlueck> AnonLucifer: Was that comment about needing to install a driver directed at my question about a ZTE MF636 3G USB stick?
[16:00] <sveta> Blaster, apt-get remove --purge
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> Blaster: yes
[16:00] <sveta> Blaster, (also removes configs)
[16:01] <AnonLucifer> well, i had a ZTE modem once on linux 10.04
[16:01] <Blaster> sveta: What about all the dependencies it installed?
[16:01] <AnonLucifer> it didn't need the driver install
[16:01] <mdlueck> AnonLucifer: This is on a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 x64
[16:02] <reg_> seems 14.04 is safe from them sites you posted. thanks :-)
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> Blaster: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,will get rid of uneeded packages
[16:02] <AnonLucifer> i just plugged it in, and create a connection as the wizzard
[16:02] <The0x539> or autoremove --purge
[16:02] <Blaster> Thanks.
[16:02] <AnonLucifer> wizard instructed*
[16:03] <sveta> Blaster, apt-get remove takes care of them I believe.
[16:03] <mdlueck> I believe we might be as close as understanding how to bring up a configured "Mobile Broadband" connection. It is set up in the connection list, how to activate said saved connection???
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> Blaster: many apps on android (and maybe ios) can manage the torrents remotely if you enable the web interface in transmission
[16:04] <AnonLucifer> so, about the update, when the update from 12.04 to 14.04 will be ready, i should see it when i check for an update, right?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> AnonLucifer: you will need to check but it should be shown
[16:05] <Blaster> Is there a way to stream video files from Ubuntu to iPhone?  I really liked Air Video Server on Windows.
[16:06] <AnonLucifer> thanks for the help ;)

[16:17] <Blaster> Hey guys, often times I will pin something to the unity launcher and then after closing the app and clicking the icon, the app will fail to launch, the icon lights up then nothing happens.  How do you debug this?
[16:19] <whoever> luisja1006: ie 1080p to ie 480
[16:20] <whoever> Blaster: does the app require root privelatges
[16:20] <Blaster> whoever, no, I can launch it with my user account from command line.
[16:21] <whoever> Blaster: do you have one now that does this
[16:21] <Blaster> whoever, yes
[16:21] <luisja1006> whoever if I change to 480 then it's even worst
[16:21] <Blaster> whoever, IntelliJ IDEA

[16:22] <roasted> Hello friends. We all know Picard is a great music tagging tool, however all of my music is on my server. If I link Picard to the smb share of my music, it often crashes. Picard's site says there is no CLI version as it would have to assume too much info that might be wrong that is otherwise populated in the GUI. Does anybody know of a way to utilize, say, a web front end, or perhaps another CLI utility for music tagging?
[16:22] <whoever> Blaster: and how did you install it
[16:22] <luisja1006> could someone help me? I am connecting my laptop to my hdtv but the borders are cut off
[16:23] <Blaster> whoever, I just extracted it to ~/intellij  and then I run ~/intellij/bin/idea.sh to run it.  When it opened I pinned it to the launcher, and then after closing the above symptom occurs.
[16:23] <whoever> luisja1006: are you  flooding the chan for any reason ? you just asked that about 5 minutes ago
[16:23] <whoever> Blaster: you pinned the icon not the actual application with the path
[16:24] <luisja1006> whoever your response was of no use to me sadly, I already did what you suggested
[16:24] <Blaster> whoever, how do I pin the actual application then?
[16:24] <whoever> Blaster: you could install it via software-center it will creae less work on your /art
[16:25] <whoever> Blaster: you to dash and type main , do you see something called main menu
[16:25] <kirankumar> hi all, i have  a source file  ubuntu  server 14.04 , i want install it my pc  it posible? if possible how?
[16:25] <Blaster> whoever, no I don't.
[16:25] <kirankumar> please help some one
[16:25] <Blaster> I don't care about installing it via software center, I just want to get the icon to run the binary.
[16:26] <Blaster> I already have it licensed and stuff in that location.
[16:26] <whoever> Blaster: how do you normaly install software to ubuntu ?(this depend on what steps i give you )
[16:26] <Blaster> apt-get
[16:26] <ikonia> kirankumar: what application do you want to install
[16:26] <whoever> kirankumar: yes you can, the same as you would install any other distro
[16:26] <kirankumar> sir ubuntu server 14.04 os
[16:26] <ikonia> kirankumar: what APPLICTION do you want to install
[16:27] <kirankumar> this is server version
[16:27] <ikonia> kirankumar: do you want to install the OS or an application ?

[16:28] <whoever> Blaster: apt-get alacarte , when done, you will see main menu in dash or you can execute it with alacarte from terminal
[16:28] <trism> Blaster: apparently you can go to Tools/Create desktop entry which will automatically make one for you in ~/.local/share/applications/ (according to this blog post), otherwise you'll need to create one yourself somehow
[16:28] <Blaster> whoever, I just followed their install instructions, just need to pin the icon so I don't have to run from the command line every time I want to use it.  http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/installation_instructions.jsp?os=linux
[16:29] <trism> Blaster: in the idea app that is
[16:29] <whoever> Blaster: this is so you can properly pin it to launcher
[16:29] <Donpedro> hello
[16:30] <Donpedro> i upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04, and my system hangs after the login screen
[16:30] <whoever> trism: wow , I never did it that way , I have always had alacarte because of my third party apps
[16:30] <whoever> Blaster: you can follow trism if you con't want to install alacarte
[16:31] <trism> whoever: alacarte is fine too, and you can also create them by hand (that's how I generally do it), I just happened to see a blog post mentioning the feature in idea 11+
[16:31] <Donpedro> the login screen is low res, i think it's a graphics driver problem
[16:31] <Blaster> I figured it out another way.   IDEA has a Tools -> Create Desktop Entry menu item.
[16:32] <Donpedro> i had the nvidia driver installed on 13.10
[16:32] <whoever> trism: yes you can do it by hand, it just seem like such a pain in the ass when alacart is very small , and does it all for you
[16:32] <Blaster> Oh trism, didn't notice that's what you said too, hehe
[16:32] <Donpedro> tried to reinstall the nouveau drivers, but it's still the same
[16:33] <whoever> trism: ah, i didn't see that, all I was and got fixedated on was IDEA add icon to Launcher
[16:34] <whoever> trism do you have any experince with alacarte , I have an anoyance issue, the icon I am ussing as the same permissions as the other icons, but when i set my application to use the icon, all I get is a white square for the icon in dash
[16:35] <trism> whoever: you should look at the file in ~/.local/share/applications, sometimes they add multiple Icon= lines and it messes things up (used to see this problem with gnome-desktop-item-edit)
[16:36] <tmerriam> how do I upgrade 12.04 to 14.04? I can't find instructions on ubuntu website and when I do `do-release-upgrade`, it says there are no new releases
[16:38] <whoever> trism: should icon be a complete path
[16:39] <whoever> trism: ie: icon;/path/to/icon , my icon says icon=vuescan
[16:39] <trism> whoever: a complete path works, when it is just the name it tries to find the icon in your icon theme
[16:40] <whoever> trism: well i have the icon only in /usr/share/icons/gnome/128x128/app/
[16:41] <trism> whoever: did you copy it there yourself?
[16:41] <whoever> trism: yes and I changed the permissons and owner to match the other that where there
[16:41] <trism> whoever: the icon themes in /usr/share/icons are indexed so you would have to regenerate it to find it, if you want to copy one system wide better to put it in /usr/share/pixmaps/
[16:41] <trism> whoever: since those aren't indexed
[16:42] <kirankumar> su: Authentication failure  why? sir
[16:42] <whoever> trism: so i should put it in pixmaps? should i change it from a png to somethinag else
[16:43] <trism> whoever: pngs are fine, you can really put it anywhere you want if you use the full path to the icon, but otherwise I'd put it in /usr/share/pixmaps
[16:44] <whoever> trism: ok, ill move it and try again
[16:46] <horaxlxl> eey
[16:50] <whoever> trism: i moved the .png to /usr/share/pixmaps, and noting changed
[16:51] <trism> whoever: is the icon name just vuescan.png ?
[16:51] <mojtaba> Does anybody know how can I load balance a web server between several machines?
[16:52] <trism> whoever: should probably try the full path to see if it works at all, also sometimes icon loading gets messed up in unity and you might have to restart your session to see the changes properly
[16:52] <whoever> trism: correct
[16:53] <whoever> trism: well i gotta restrt anyway for crap to update so i'll try that
[16:59] <PCworker> hey everybody, I need to install the clam antivirus and i want to update it from the command line. Does anyone know the correct command for that?
[17:00] <jasleen> hi

[17:21] <Guest66678> how can i install java on chromium
[17:21] <DrGrov> Hello hello
[17:22] <DrGrov> Now I got Xubuntu 14.04 installed on my SSD. Still have all the files on the 1TB drive on a seperate /home. How can I easily get the stuff transffered?
[17:23] <sveta> Guest66678: hi. I think you need openjdk-7-jre icedtea-7-plugin and restart the browser.
[17:24] <sveta> DrGrov: hi. where would you like to move them to?
[17:25] <DrGrov> sveta, I would like to move them to my new user.
[17:25] <OerHeks> Guest66678, Java (IcedTea) doesn't have a PPAPI plugin available, and so it's not usable in Chromium, since Chromium 34 in Trusty has switched to the Aura rendering framework and no longer allows NPAPI plugins. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1308783.
[17:26] <sveta> DrGrov, I see. onto what kind of hardware? did you make a new /home on another drive?
[17:27] <wheatthin> my gosh, I set my swapiness to 10.. made a noticeable difference
[17:27] <wheatthin> Thanks whomever suggested it
[17:28] <Beldar> wheatthin, your welcome
[17:28] <Beldar> heh,heh
[17:28] <wheatthin> :)
[17:28] <wheatthin> that's right..  :) thanks man
[17:28] <Beldar> np
[17:28] <wheatthin> I was wondering why my dual quad xeon with 10gb fb-dimms was struggling
[17:29] <Beldar> DrGrov, You can shrink to fit, than clone it, and install to ssd than you have a backup, I use clonezilla myself.
[17:31] <Beldar> wheatthin, Seemed like it was swapping way to earlier anyway.
[17:34] <DrGrov> Beldar, I did actually change from 12.04 to 13.10 by somehow changing the username from the old one to the new one and thus getting all the data directly to my new user.
[17:35] <DrGrov> Beldar, Brb. Gotta go and do some food shopping.
[17:35] <Beldar> DrGrov, pick me up a sandwich please.
[17:36] <libmn> Kernel upgrade made the system unbootable!  Same problem as http://askubuntu.com/questions/286284/system-no-longer-boots-gave-up-waiting-for-root-device-initramfs-dev-mappe
[17:37] <Beldar> libmn, It happens, does the kernel before that work?
[17:38] <libmn> Seems fine except there's no /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root, then goes to initramfs busybox.
[17:39] <Beldar> libmn, broken kernels I just remove and use the one that work, they will be more kernel updates.
[17:40] <mojtaba> join /#kwartzlab
[17:40] <Beldar> and upgrades
[17:40] <libmn> I have two kernels installed, and somehow the old one has the same problem (maybe because I reinstalled it).

[17:40] <CountryfiedLinux> OK here's what gnome-tweak-tool is telling me '(gnome-tweak-tool:12053): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.' any suggestions? thanks in advance
[17:41] <libmn> Both 3.13.0-24-generic and 3.13.0-29-generic
[17:41] <Beldar> CountryfiedLinux, Look to see if it has a file in /.config if it does remove it
[17:43] <CountryfiedLinux> what file am I looking for Beldar ?
[17:44] <Beldar> CountryfiedLinux, I don't see it in mine I would just for ease of travel purge and reinstall it to see if fixed, I assuming that info you have is from a terminal start.
[17:45] <Beldar> CountryfiedLinux, If you look in /.config which is home .config is hidden you see direct app names these are there configurations
[17:47] <Beldar> libmn, I'm not sure of any additional action.
[17:47] <CountryfiedLinux> I know what that folder is Beldar not seeing gnome-tweak-tool
[17:47] <libmn> The instructions in http://askubuntu.com/questions/286284/system-no-longer-boots-gave-up-waiting-for-root-device-initramfs-dev-mappe didn't help.
[17:48] <Beldar> CountryfiedLinux, Yes I said that, and suggested a purge and reinstall, do you know how to purge?
[17:48] <CountryfiedLinux> yes Beldar I did that and reinsalled
[17:48] <Beldar> CountryfiedLinux, Still the error?
[17:49] <ysantos> que tal multiuniverso linux fron Iquique
[17:49] <libmn> No cryptsetup in initramfs.  Did `update-initramfs -k all -c` via chroot from install LiveCD (the bottom suggestion on that page) - didn't help.  Same for both kernel versions.

[17:50] <PatrickDickey> Hi everyone. I'm having an issue with a hissing noise from my nvidia GT 610. I've tried a few things like installing the proprietary drivers and setting tsched=0, but neither seems to work. Any suggestions?
[17:50] <tmerriam> how do I upgrade 12.04 to 14.04? I can't find instructions on ubuntu website and when I do `do-release-upgrade`, it says there are no new releases
[17:51] <libmn> No Iquique in England, only Chile.   =P
[17:51] <Beldar> ysantos, your local #ubuntu-cl
[17:51] <sveta> tmerriam: hi. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" should do it I believe. also just running update-manager should do it via gui.
[17:52] <PatrickDickey> tmerriam Run the Software Updater, and it should show you that there's a new version. If not, go into Settings, and under the updates tab, change the check for new version to LTS (or any).
[17:52] <ysantos> jaja ok   see ya...
[17:52] <Beldar> tmerriam, Official upgrade is in July, if you have to have it you can do it from the terminal.
[17:52] <sveta> tmerriam: update manager has a "settings" button where you can tell it to check for new releases if not already.
[17:52] <karab44> After suspending ubuntu I had turned it on again and I saw black screen with cursor
[17:52] <fro_hun> hi everybody! can anyone help me to setup magnet-links for firefox? i tried a few options from ask ubuntu and so on, but nothing helped
[17:53] <karab44> I could only move a mouse and move into tty's
[17:53] <karab44> but... after typing by blind password and accepting my desktop showed up
[17:53] <tmerriam> its headless server so there is no settings button
[17:53] <sveta> karab44: same here, I don't have a bug number handy but I think it's a known issue. I just switch to tty1, log in, and kill off Xorg (or press the power button on the computer).
[17:53] <libmn> Congradulations a Chile vèncer Austràlia a la Copa del Món de futbol d'ahir.  =P
[17:53] <Beldar> tmerriam, http://askubuntu.com/questions/126833/lts-to-lts-upgrade  setting button would not matter till official release
[17:53] <sveta> karab44: of course I'd appreciate any extra hints you or anyone else here may have.
[17:53] <tmerriam> but since this is a test anyway I can until July
[17:54] <PatrickDickey> karab44 If you go into the Screensaver settings, you can change that. It's probably configured to show a black screen, and set to lock your computer.
[17:54] <karab44> sveta: I just entered password on black screen and it logged into desktop
[17:54] <karab44> PatrickDickey: are you kidding me?
[17:55] <tmerriam> thanks
[17:55] <libmn> Any suggestions?  I would have thought that kernel upgrade breaking the system for everyone using disk encyption would be a serious issue...
[17:55] <sveta> karab44: I'll try it next time
[17:55] <karab44> sveta: after loggining in screen turns visible
[17:55] <PatrickDickey> karab44 The Blank screen is the default screensaver, iirc.
[17:55] <ysantos> cual es canal español
[17:55] <ysantos> ??
[17:55] <d3vlabs> is there a device manager for linux
[17:55] <d3vlabs> like windows has
[17:55] <karab44> PatrickDickey: there could be many reasons why screen is black but definitely not by screensaver, sorry.
[17:55] <PatrickDickey> ysantos hablas ingles?
[17:56] <ysantos> como los bit...
[17:56] <ysantos> like the bit
[17:56] <PatrickDickey> karab44 that's what it sounds like to me though. Since you said that typing your password in brings up your desktop.
[17:56] <PatrickDickey> !es | ysantos
[17:57] <ysantos> thanks...!!
[17:57] <PatrickDickey> de nada
[17:57] <karab44> PatrickDickey: after I entered and accepted password it showed visible desktop so only lightdm is black.
[17:57] <PatrickDickey> Ahhhh that's different then. :S
[17:58] <karab44> yep, missunderstanding
[17:58] <karab44> bbl
[17:59] <PatrickDickey> karab44 check this bug out, and see if it's the same https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1281846

[18:07] <PatrickDickey> sqard We need more information please. Like the brand and model of the sound card. Which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[18:07] <prappl93> PatrickDickey, I know. I was just curious because if my memory serves me correctly there used to be 2 ISOs released every LTS release (2 years) for just the LTS set up and the non-LTS one. Couldn't find a non-LTS one this time.

[18:08] <Beldar> !broadcom | iceburnt
[18:08] <snuggles08> Help please?
[18:08] <PatrickDickey> prappl93 Are you referring to the desktop and alternative isos?
[18:08] <iceburnt> thx u
[18:09] <PatrickDickey> snuggles08 please refresh my memory, what's the problem that you're having?
[18:09] <prappl93> PatrickDickey: I tried looking in the alternative section and couldn't find an image that wasn't branded for LTS. I'll just switch the software sources closer to the release of 14.10 and get 14.10 that way.
[18:09] <bean> snuggles08, can you open a command prompt?
[18:09] <Beldar> snuggles08, Do not plead help here please, it just confuses stuff, and people will help if your understood and they know.
[18:10] <PatrickDickey> prappl93 IIRC (and I'm old, so forgive me :D) there were various isos available (Desktop, Server, NetInstall, Alternative (text-based)) in the past. They moved away from those to just Desktop and Server.
[18:10] <karab44> well ... I am not sure it started to happen I believe after changing internal graphics card parameter in BIOS.
[18:10] <bazhang> theres also mini iso PatrickDickey
[18:11] <prappl93> PatrickDickey, that's what I was thinking. They still have the Net install one in the Alts section. I just thought they used to release an LTS-specific ISO as well as a non-LTS for people who didn't want to configure it that way.
[18:11] <bazhang> !mini
[18:11] <bean> prappl93, 14.04 is an LTS, there's no "non-lts" version of it :)
[18:11] <captine> hi all.  simple question.  got GIMP installed, but it is not visible in my dash/menu.  can run it from the command line though??? any ideas
[18:12] <Beldar> captine, Are you missing any other apps from showing?
[18:12] <PatrickDickey> It might have been a branding thing, like you mentioned earlier prappl93. But I think they moved away from that, as they're getting more popular.
[18:12] <prappl93> bean, what I am saying is before (a few years ago if memory serves correctly) whenever they released a new LTS one, they had an image ready for LTS users, and one ready for non-LTS that way they didn't have to toggle LTS off.
[18:12] <prappl93> They seem to not be doing that anymore.
[18:12] <bean> Hmm, if that existed I never knew about it. Such a thing doesn't exist now, afaik.
[18:12] <captine> Beldar, not sure.  just re-installed and did a big copy and past of the apt-get install xxx xxx xxx that I had kept to get the machine back to it's old state
[18:12] <captine> only using it for a couple hours
[18:12] <kostkon> prappl93: that was never the case
[18:13] <PatrickDickey> snuggles08 when you say you moved /home into /lib, how did you do that?
[18:13] <Beldar> captine, You can reset unity and compiz, the commands have changed from 12.04 to 14.04 so if you look this up be sure it is your releases command.
[18:14] <libmn> Can anyone help?  Kernel upgrade made my system unbootable!  (See above.)
[18:14] <snuggles08> PatrickDickey: I fixed it myself.
[18:14] <PatrickDickey> snuggles08 Glad to hear it.
[18:15] <PatrickDickey> libmn when you try booting, hold your shift key down until you get a GRUB menu. Then try choosing an earlier kernel, see if it boots that way.
[18:16] <ravindu> hello
[18:17] <PatrickDickey> libmn If you're able to boot it with the earlier kernel, you should be able to remove the later one.
[18:17] <ravindu> anyone using xChat IRC here?

[18:18] <ravindu> google whatever hardware question you want
[18:18] <Beldar> ravindu, Many, address the actual issue please/
[18:18] <PatrickDickey> ravindu Are you having an issue with XChat, or are you just curious if people use it?
[18:18] <ravindu> search for it on ubuntu forums

[18:18] <PatrickDickey> Durabys what hardware are you having problems with?
[18:18] <ravindu> okay ubottu
[18:18] <WilsonMathew> I just installed ubuntu 14.04 lst into my laptop and I just boots into windows 8
[18:18] <WilsonMathew> I tried boot repair
[18:19] <Durabys> External WD  HDD 2.5inch 2TB device..all detail explained on that thread
[18:19] <ravindu> you can configure windows boot options to show ubuntu in it, I think
[18:19] <WilsonMathew> but I still gives me this problem, what can I do next?
[18:19] <ravindu> its done in windows
[18:20] <ravindu> WilsonMathew, did you install Grub?
[18:20] <Beldar> WilsonMathew, Put the Auto generated bootinfo summary in this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917
[18:20] <PatrickDickey> Durabys when you ran the drive on Windows, did you use the WD utilities that came with it?
[18:21]  * PatrickDickey this is why I hate WD now--and I used to love their drives...
[18:21] <Beldar> ravindu, Do you know anything about UEFI?
[18:21] <karab44> guys I can't record my microphone nicely, sound Input Front Microphone appears only after Audacity is launched. It's not detected after pluggining it in.
[18:22] <ravindu> Beldar, I have heard of something called UEFI SecureBoot being a feature of Windows 8
[18:22] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew in Windows 8, You have a setting for Fast Boot. Did you disable that? I'll have to dig for it, but it's in Settings somewhere.
[18:22] <ravindu> Oh Yeah, thats it
[18:22] <ravindu> Disable Fast boot
[18:22] <Durabys> Can some of your reply to me on that thread I am starting to lose the discussion "thread" here. :-)
[18:23] <Beldar> ravindu, Cool, these dualboots are a big issue, it is not a guessing game, not many are up on fixing these, so just be aware and help when you know please. ;)
[18:23] <WilsonMathew> PatrickDickey, yes I did disable it.
[18:23] <libmn> I'm not able to boot with any kernel (see above).
[18:23] <Durabys> Sorry I have to leave.  Work calls.
[18:23] <ravindu> Wow... I'm sorry
[18:23] <libmn> What kernel version should I install?
[18:24] <WilsonMathew> Beldar, I will make the auto generated bootingo summary and pos it
[18:24] <Beldar> WilsonMathew, Careful here, many will try to help on this who are clueless.
[18:25] <WilsonMathew> Beldar, In caseI can't intall ubunut in my laptop? what other options do I have to use linux? because I hate using windows.
[18:26] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew I had to use the Server disc, if I remember correctly. And then install a desktop on top of that.
[18:27] <PatrickDickey> Also, WilsonMathew if you can't get Ubuntu working, you could try Fedora. It's just as good (well that's a matter of personal preference, I guess).
[18:27] <GothPaw> when setting my ip static for my eth0 do I put my router ip for the gateway or should I put the gateway ip given to my router by my isp?
[18:27] <Beldar> WilsonMathew, If it were me I would image/clone windows, should be done first anyway, for needs or a resale in our case. However as I have suggested a person experienced an knowing in this area is your best help.
[18:27] <TerranceWarrior> sometimes my usb epson v370 scanner works, sometimes it doesn't. it doesn't appear to be on the sane list.
[18:27] <PatrickDickey> GothPaw, you'll put the router IP (192.168.x.x) in.
[18:28] <TerranceWarrior> it's brand new too.
[18:28] <GothPaw> PatrickDickey: thanks.... thought so but wanted to be certain.
[18:28] <Vivekananda> hey everyone how do I change the default tab to spaces in ubuntu in terminator ?
[18:29] <ravindu> BTW, whats the topic of conversation?
[18:29] <TerranceWarrior> site has scanimage drivers.
[18:29] <TerranceWarrior> bogus
[18:29] <Elpower> is correct?: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1  env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype %U
[18:29] <WilsonMathew> patrickDickey, Well I just want to be able to install any linux distro in my laptop but It seems that the problem is my computer and not the disto. Because I have tried fedora, mint and even arch linux but I can't seem to find a way to intall any of these.
[18:30] <libmn> Is there another channel where I might be able to get help?
[18:30] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew Did you go into your BIOS and disable SecureBoot?
[18:30] <WilsonMathew> yes.
[18:30] <ssmy> so, I turned off my server for the first time in a few months (ubuntu 12.04), and it fails to boot now with grub error partition not found. Did the whole reinstall grub via chroot and all, but no change. any ideas?
[18:30] <WilsonMathew> and I also tried withoug disabling it.
[18:30] <PatrickDickey> limn when you try GRUB, did you also try the Recovery Mode options?
[18:31] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew are you trying to install with the Desktop version?
[18:31] <ssmy> also, ls in grub rescue is blank
[18:32] <WilsonMathew> patrickDicke, I dont think my computer has a BIOS or a legacy mode option. Yes, I am trying to intall the desktop version.
[18:33] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew When I refer to BIOS, I mean the system setup (as you're booting). And you don't want to use the Compatibility Mode, otherwise Windows won't boot. You might need to use the server version to install Ubuntu though.
[18:34] <PatrickDickey> IIRC, that's the only way I could get Ubuntu to install, was using the Server iso and going with minimal and then manually installing a desktop later... :S
[18:34] <TerranceWarrior> bogus
[18:34] <Beldar> ssmy, Did you purge grub and reinstall than load the mbr?
[18:34] <WilsonMathew> patrickDickey what is the difference between the server version and the desktop one?
[18:35] <ssmy> Beldar, no, just grub-install/grub-update. I suppose I could. not sure what changed though
[18:35] <PatrickDickey> WilsonMathew The server one basically installs the things you'll need to run a server. Where the desktop doesn't. The desktop installs the programs that a regular user would need.
[18:36] <Beldar> ssmy, easiest way to get to the issue since you kno how to chroot.
[18:36] <iceburnt> how to browsing with hidden ip address?
[18:36] <PatrickDickey> ssmy did grub install have any errors?
[18:36] <Bray90820_> So i am running ubuntu in a VM on OSX and i was wondering of there was a way to get gparted to recognize my osx/bootcamp partition
[18:37] <Beldar> Bray90820_, Why that just makes no sense,
[18:37] <Bray90820_> I need to change a partition type of my bootcamp partition to get osx to recognize it correctly
[18:38] <WilsonMathew> patricDickey and Beldar, Well thanks. I will keep trying and will let you know how it goes. thanks
[18:38] <PatrickDickey> Bray90820_ Probably not. As far as Ubuntu is concerned nothing outside of the vdk file the "hard disk you created" exists. You'd have to use a Live CD to deal with the actual drive.
[18:38] <Beldar> Bray90820_, You would never do it from a vm, get the gparted disc and boot it.
[18:38] <ssmy> PatrickDickey, no. grub-update said something about lvm in /run, but it's not running lvm.
[18:38] <iceburnt> why after I upgrade in booting there is some kernel image with different version in advanced ubuntu?
[18:39] <Bray90820_> Do you by chance know if you can install gparted to a USB stick
[18:39] <PatrickDickey> iceburnt because until you remove the older versions, they are available for you to choose from. It would be in case the newer version has issues, or in case of compatibility problems.
[18:39] <ssmy> Beldar, just purge grub-pc? or grub*
[18:39] <Beldar> Bray90820_, Not sure even if that is the best option a vm is definitely the worst though.
[18:40] <Bray90820_> Well I know a ubuntu usb would do exactly what i want but that's not an optin right now
[18:40] <PatrickDickey> Bray90820_ Why isn't an Ubuntu USB an option?
[18:40] <Beldar> ssmy, grub grub-common grub-pc
[18:41] <Bray90820_> Yes ubuntu usb is an option but it requires an 8GB drive i only have 4
[18:41] <Beldar> Bray90820_, Just be careful om not default to a crazy idea is all. ;)
[18:42] <Beldar> to*
[18:42] <PatrickDickey> Bray90820_ I think I'm confused. You need an 8GB usb to run the Ubuntu Live CD from it?
[18:42] <Bray90820_> Yes
[18:42] <Bray90820_> You are correct
[18:42] <Bray90820_> The flash drive i have is only 4GB
[18:43] <iceburnt> what for remmina is?
[18:43] <Beldar> Bray90820_, gparted by its self is a small download
[18:43] <PatrickDickey> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick according to this, you only need a 2GB one.
[18:43] <OerHeks> 1 gb is enough
[18:44] <ssmy> Beldar, PatrickDickey seems to have gone fine. output http://paste.ubuntu.com/7645223/
[18:44] <Beldar> Bray90820_ sounds like your thinking full install of ubuntu on the usb, just use the iso loaded correctly.
[18:45] <Beldar> ssmy, Does it boot?
[18:45] <Bray90820_> I was thinking live i have done it many times before
[18:45] <ssmy> Beldar, about to try, have to reboot. brb
[18:45] <Beldar> Bray90820_, Live is only 1 gig
[18:46] <Beldar> no persistent
[18:46] <Vivekananda> anyone care to comment ?
[18:46] <Beldar> Vivekananda, Sure, I love lattes
[18:47] <PatrickDickey> Vivekananda and Beldar I prefer Frappachinos.

[18:47] <PatrickDickey> Elpower Give me a second, and I'll look at my old Skype.sh file.

[18:49] <Beldar> cryptic Helps are really unproductive
[18:49] <PatrickDickey> Elpower here's what I have in my older skype file LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype your mileage may vary on whether it works for you though.
[18:49] <Bray90820_> Beldar: I'll try creating it and report back
[18:49] <Beldar> Bray90820_, cool
[18:49] <PatrickDickey> Elpower I should have asked what you're trying to do with Skype though. That was just to get my webcam working

[19:00] <norman> does cp have an option to rename instead of replace files with the same name?
[19:01] <PatrickDickey> norman typically you'll use mv to rename.
[19:01] <Beldar> ssmy, A live ubutnu has a gui for smartcheck,
[19:01] <norman> PatrickDickey: does mv have an option?
[19:01] <bprompt> norman:    there's a "rename" too, but usually would be "mv"
[19:02] <PatrickDickey> norman it has a lot of options.

[19:02] <Beldar> ssmy, YOou might like a cli of that run, your call
[19:02] <Beldar> You*
[19:03] <norman> im just copying files from all levels in a directory into another directory and I don't want files to be overwritten if they have the same name
[19:03] <ssmy> Beldar: actually, that server runs a smart check daily on all drives. I will check manually though
[19:03] <Beldar> ssmy, Heh neglected to say the location of the smart tool in disks top right corner drop down if on a live desktop.
[19:03] <Beldar> ssmy, Ah cool good idea.
[19:05] <Beldar> ssmy, Since you have multiple discs I assume this =HD's be sure the one that has grub in the mbr is read first, should be the one with the OS on it. THis a raid?
[19:06] <Beldar> Do you said drives my mistake
[19:06] <Beldar> Doh*
[19:06] <ssmy> Beldar: it usually has the SSD to boot and a RAIDZ of 4 disks. currently it's in my desktop for testing. so just the one other disk.
[19:07] <Beldar> ssmy, Ah, never messed with raid so my help now is not really with any real knowledge
[19:07] <PatrickDickey> norman http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9392735/linux-how-to-copy-but-not-overwrite You'll use --no-clobber then in cp.
[19:07] <TJ-> norman: "cp --backup=numbered ..." may do what you want, check "man cp"
[19:07] <ssmy> well, I took the drives out, so otherwise it acts as a dead-simple single-disk, single-partition system. so that fixing things like this is easier.
[19:08] <Beldar> ssmy, That is where grub is and the OS, and first read in the ios?
[19:08] <Beldar> bios*
[19:09] <Beldar> pulling the HD might change the bios is a guess
[19:09] <Beldar> HD's
[19:10] <Beldar> ssmy, Or the boot we see usb boot reversing the HD listings
[19:10] <PatrickDickey> Beldar and ssmy, When you put the HD's back in, I think that's going to cause GRUB to freak out. Because it scans all of them, and doesn't find anything on the other ones.
[19:10] <dune> bye bye
[19:10] <ssmy> Beldar: honestly, not sure. I've been switching by choosing the disk to boot from. It did work the once though, so I don't think that's the issue
[19:10] <PatrickDickey> Even though you "install" grub on one drive, I think it puts a file on the others as well.
[19:10] <ssmy> PatrickDickey: it shouldn't. grub using GUIDs for ages now
[19:11] <Vivekananda> Beldar: okay although I dont know when that happen or what that looks like
[19:11] <Beldar> ssmy, I would just be careful with I think, check the HD as how read when not booting with a fdisk -l
[19:11] <ssmy> Beldar: well, it reads it second. can't do much about that though, it's mSATA
[19:11] <TJ-> PatrickDickey: No, grub doesn't need or put anything on any drive other than the drive it is told to
[19:12] <Beldar> Vivekananda, No clue as to what your addressing, which was my point to begin with.
[19:12] <PatrickDickey> Vivekananda are you having any issues?
[19:12] <Beldar> Vivekananda, I see your original post, had I an answer I would have answered that.
[19:13] <Vivekananda> Beldar: just referring to what you said --  Vivekananda, just repost in the time the channels asks you to follow
[19:13] <TJ-> ssmy: When you say it booted once, did you do anything differently that time to other boots - like manually selecting the boot disk via the BIOS/firmware boot device menu ?
[19:13] <Vivekananda> I dont know how that is indicated on the channel  ( ie it is asking me to follow)
[19:13] <Beldar> Vivekananda, Ah, ten minute intervals, be sure it is detailed when needed is all.
[19:14] <ssmy> TJ-: no, same as before. just open boot menu and choose. disk order shouldn't matter anymore I think.
[19:14] <ravindu> #ubuntu-offtopic is awesome!
[19:14] <ravindu> Thanks, whoever intorduced it to me
[19:15] <ravindu> whose name I cant remember
[19:15] <PatrickDickey> ravindu Glad you like it.
[19:15] <DrGrov> I am back
[19:15] <lsc> hi there, how to "du -sh *" with hidden files? :o
[19:15] <TJ-> ssmy: If there's more than one disk, it can; if not, it won't. It is possible (with multiple disks) that the non-boot disk has at some time in the past had (accidentally or otherwise) the GRUB core installed
[19:15] <DrGrov> So how can I get the properiatry drivers installed (mp3, flash) on 14.10 Xubuntu? How about getting the old /home directly to my new user on this fresh install?
[19:16] <Beldar> !14.10 | DrGrov
[19:16] <TJ-> ssmy: There are also some BIOSes out there that pass an incorrect boot-device indicator to the boot loader, causing boot failures because the boot loader tries to read the rest of its config and modules from the wrong device - that is relatively rare, though.
[19:17] <ssmy> TJ-: hmm. the other disk does have a functioning ubuntu install w/ grub on it. I guess I can try booting without it connected.
[19:17] <Beldar> DrGrov, 14.10 is #ubuntu+1
[19:17] <DrGrov> Oh sorry
[19:17] <DrGrov> I am sure it is 14.04 I mean :)
[19:17] <Beldar> no biggie DrGrov
[19:17] <Beldar> ah
[19:18] <DrGrov> Beldar, should I perhaps start by getting the nVidia drivers and see if I can get sound to play when I have it connected via HDMI?
[19:18] <Beldar> DrGrov, Have you instlled the xubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:18] <norman> TJ-: thanks, --backup=numbered worked for me
[19:18] <DrGrov> Beldar, No apparently not :) I will push them in right away
[19:19] <DrGrov> Beldar, now I have them. Is there anything else restricted I would be needing except that?
[19:19] <Beldar> !codecs | DrGrov, more good links
[19:20] <Beldar> DrGrov, I know nothing about graphic driver stuff, just a heads up
[19:22] <DrGrov> Beldar, Okay. Now I got the DVD and restricted-extras fixed. Additional Drivers and from there getting the nVidia drivers?
[19:24] <PatrickDickey> DrGrov to play DVD's you'll also have to run install-css.sh (it's in the page that talks about playing DVD's).
[19:28] <carlos_felix> hi. i need help. printer error cups-insecure-filter.
[19:29] <finisherr> Quick question. I'm installing a minimal ubuntu os to a subdirectory with debootstrap. Is there a way to minimize the size of the installation. Fedora based systems have febootstrap-minimize, which drastically cuts down on the size of the installation. Any similar tools on this end?
[19:32] <Vivekananda> I am trying to understand something related to emacs and ubuntu terminal .  I changed tabs to spaces as directed and tried it out. the output looks fine with M-x whitespace-mode in emacs but on the ubuntu terminal for some reason I get a tab = a lot of spaces. I dont understand how to change that . Here are the samples  ,   emacs :   http://imgur.com/bZhntWX,cpx02Tt#0     and  terminal  : http://imgur.com/bZhntWX,cpx02Tt#1
[19:39] <PatrickDickey> Vivekananda are you talking about when you actually run the program? Because the text you showed looks the same to me.
[19:40] <PatrickDickey> :QuixWorl4ot
[19:41] <DrGrov> How can I get NTP support in Xubuntu 14.04?
[19:41] <DrGrov> It does not seem to pick it up correctly when prompted
[19:41] <Vivekananda> PatrickDickey: the text is the same but the indentation is off on the console . It is okay on emacs. I am trying to figure out why the console just puts in so many spaces to make everything shift a long way to the right
[19:42] <ssmy> Vivekananda: the point of using tabs is that the viewer can change the tab width. presumably emacs is set to something lower than the terminal's default 8
[19:43] <Vivekananda> ssmy: yeah it is set to 4
[19:43] <Vivekananda> terminal is 8 ? you say ?  I am using terminator. Is there a way to change the tab width in terminator ?
[19:43] <ssmy> Vivekananda: you probably want the command `tabs -4`
[19:43] <elementary-site5> Hello! Does anybody know the solution to the Problem I am having? After I choose something in the GRUB menu (With disabled quiet and splash, and added Nomodeset), the loading gets stuck at a FB conflict between inteldrmfb and EFI VGA
[19:44] <ssmy> or in the preferences there is probably a way. otherwise toss that in your .bashrc
[19:45] <Vivekananda> ssmy: where do I use this command in terminator ? is there a menu inside ?
[19:45] <ssmy> Vivekananda: it's just a terminal command. run it to change the tab width. I can't test at the moment, but I'm sure terminator has a gui setting for tab width in the preferences somewhere

[19:51] <EleanorEllis> Recently, my machine has been getting very unresponsive. I have a 2 year old laptop with a 64 bit core i3 processor and I am running Ubuntu 14.04. At the moment, I am mostly using google chrome with a lot of tabs open as I am developing a website and need to flip between lots of things at once. I also have quodlibet running to listen to music. Right now, google chrome seems to have frozen altogether and I don't know why. Usually I get a
[19:51] <Xasin> There we go, much better. So, does anybody know a solution to getting a FB conflict after the GRUB Menu?
[19:52] <OerHeks> Xasin, facebook conflict?
[19:52] <PatrickDickey> Xasin which card do you have?
[19:52]  * PatrickDickey thinks he means Fallback conflict
[19:52] <OerHeks> oh
[19:53] <PatrickDickey> OerHeks But I was thinking the same thing at first too. ;)
[19:53] <Xasin> I don't think it's that. The exact error was: fb: conflicting fb usage inteldrmfb vs EFI VGA
[19:54] <Xasin> And yes, I have already tried to add Nomodeset, and I have disabled safe Boot.
[19:55] <PatrickDickey> Xasin are you using  proprietary drivers, or open source ones?
[19:56] <Xasin> I am using the ones which came installed on my laptop. That would be Driver Version 9.17.10.3347 of the original Driver.
[19:58] <ozbrk> hi guy I need help online accounts are not working on facebook and twitter and some of the other selections and I don't know why. In facebook selection there is just a white screen that's all and twitter account check closes itself

[20:01] <banginpadr> hi
[20:02] <dfrey> Since upgrading to 14.04, I get a message each time I boot saying that my input devices and graphics couldn't be configured (or something similar) and then it asks me if I want to run in reduced graphics mode (or something like that).  Any idea what is going wrong?  I have a nvidia gtx560
[20:03] <CrypticByte> when mir comes out will we be forced to use it or will there be a way to use unity as it is?
[20:03] <PatrickDickey> CrypticByte is there a reason why you wouldn't want to use mir?
[20:04] <CrypticByte> I dont use a touch screen computer for one
[20:04] <CrypticByte> too windows 8ish
[20:04] <PatrickDickey> dfrey you could try installing the proprietary drivers (search for hardware in Unity).
[20:05] <ozbrk> CrypticByte: Accutaly we thought the same thing when we say farewell to Gnome 2 but today we have mate and gnome fallback seission. There is no reason to think something like that :)
[20:05] <dfrey> PatrickDickey: I believe I am running gnome3, not unity
[20:06] <dfrey> I also believe I am running the nvidia driver.  I see it when I do lsmod
[20:06] <PatrickDickey> dfrey If you go into Software Sources (or Software Updater and click on Settings), the last tab should show you the proprietary drivers that are available.
[20:06] <jo-erlend> CrypticByte, Unity 7 probably won't be ported to Mir at all, so you certainly won't be forced to use it. :)
[20:07] <jo-erlend> but of course, whether you use Mir, X11 or Wayland, you won't notice it as a user.
[20:07] <EleanorEllis> Regarding my computer hanging. Here is my top output sorted by % memory usage http://paste.ubuntu.com/7645520/ and here it is sorted by %CPU usage http://paste.ubuntu.com/7645525/
[20:07] <PatrickDickey> They'll have a fallback for cards that can't handle mir anyhow, I'd imagine. So you should be able to use that.
[20:07] <ozbrk> I need help with the online accounts guys anny ideas about that some parts of the app doesn't work (e.g. firefox option gives me just a white screen and twitter section closes itself)

[20:11] <dfrey> It appears that I am already running the nvidia driver from the nvidia-331 package.
[20:13] <GarryFre> I just installed the latest ubuntu and mis-spelled my user name and I can't find in google how to fix it without reinstalling all over again! Help?
[20:13] <dfrey> I swear every time I upgrade ubuntu my sound, video or flash plugin break.  This time it was all three.
[20:13] <itsnotlupus> Hi, just upgraded to 14.04 from 13.10. enabled fglrx drivers, now Xorg crashes hard whenever I try to start Chrome. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
[20:15] <GarryFre> Ok I'm going to reinstall. I've had enough of trying solutions that are lies and guesses that do not work.
[20:15] <itsnotlupus> GarryFre, you should be able to create a new user on your box
[20:15] <itsnotlupus> and just use that new user
[20:15] <Oxh> GarryFre: create a new user or edit /etc/passwd file
[20:15] <Beldar> GarryFre, For web info use the ubuntu wiki's only basically

[20:21] <DrGrov> Hello again
[20:22] <DrGrov> Having issue with nVidia GT 620 on 14.04 Xubuntu. It is not detecting the display properly and it looks horrible.  I believe it is a broken EDID. Anyone know any fix for this?
[20:24] <asdofindia> Having a weird problem. I was using the internet without any problem. And suddenly it stops working. ping 8.8.8.8 returns packets, but ping google.com says unknown host
[20:25] <asdofindia> I'm connected to IRC via IP address of freenode now :D
[20:29] <Beldar> asdofindia, Have you just tried a logout or reboot?
[20:29] <DrGrov> Anyone know what I am talking about with broken EDID from the display and not displaying properly? Fonts are a bit "wrong" and it suddenly tears the screen a bit.
[20:29] <asdofindia> Beldar, yes. I went to windows. it is working there. (of course it is). came back.
[20:30] <asdofindia> my /etc/resolv.conf is empty with only a comment #generated by network manager. But somewhere in askubuntu it says that's how it is in ubuntu 14.04
[20:30] <Beldar> asdofindia, Cool, we never really know if it is a user bound to find errors no matte the issue, rather than a easy fix is all.
[20:30] <Beldar> no answer here though
[20:31] <ssmy> DrGrov: I have some experience with broken EDID on nvidia, I have to do the one for my korean 1440p. I was able to find a working one on the net though.
[20:32] <DrGrov> ssmy, How did you actually get it to stick so to speak? I am having serious issues to get 1080p even though the panel itself supports 1080p. Had the same issue on my LG 42" but can not remember anymore how I did it. ActionParsnip helped on that occasion but he is away now unfortunately.
[20:33] <Transcix> join #Dalnet
[20:34] <ssmy> DrGrov: I used CustomEDID in my xorg.conf
[20:35] <asdofindia> how do i manually set the dns in ubuntu 14.04
[20:39] <DrGrov> ssmy, And how did you exactly get that done?
[20:40] <DrGrov> Another question, how can I get my old /home on a 1TB drive to become my new /home? I have the OS on a 120GB SSD and I don't know how to get my new user the old /home data on the 1TB drive so I have the new user on the 1TB drive, not on the SSD.
[20:40] <jakestaats> hello?
[20:40] <ssmy> DrGrov: here's a good description of how I did it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/236092/how-to-force-a-higher-screen-resolution-from-ubuntu-12-04-and-an-nvidia-gtx460
[20:40] <__llort__> asdofindia, i think you need to use program called resolvconf
[20:41] <__llort__> asdofindia, i have no idea how to do it though let me know if you figure anything out
[20:41] <asdofindia> yes, please. i'm looking at the man resolvconf. can't google because there's no dns :P
[20:41] <jakestaats> i need help to fix ububtu because it got stuck on the log in screen after i installed the latest nvidia drivers
[20:42] <asdofindia> jakestaats, is it a black screen?
[20:42] <vivivi_> hola buenas noches
[20:42] <DrGrov> ssmy, Unfortunately I do not understand any of that at the moment
[20:42] <ssmy> DrGrov: save anything you want out of your homedir (easy to just `mv /home/user{,-bak}` for backup) then copy over your old one, then run `sudo chown -R user.user /home/user` with the username replaced
[20:42] <jakestaats> no i log in and its stuck on the welcome screen
[20:42] <ssmy> DrGrov: well, the big thing is to get a working EDID file. I found one online, I don't know how to make one.
[20:43] <DrGrov> ssmy, Ok, I did not get that EDID file since it was not available anymore
[20:43] <ssmy> DrGrov: ah, I am not sure then. if it's actually a bad EDID you might be stuck.
[20:44] <ssmy> DrGrov: if it helps, I believe the open-source nouveau driver deals with bad EDIDs better than the nvidia one, albeit at lower performance. that may be worth testing
[20:45] <DrGrov> ssmy, It did not work as intended on 1080p either, the nouveau driver that is.
[20:45] <asdofindia> jakestaats, I don't know what is actually wrong. but you could try installing an alternate desktop platform by going into ctrl+alt+f1 console
[20:46] <jakestaats> asdofindia how do i uninstall ubuntu from terminal so i can install windows?
[20:47] <gdoteof> i am on 14.04 and have a 40" seiki 4k as my only m onitor.  i was trying to downgrade the resolution to 1920x1080 through the display manager and everything went to hell
[20:47] <asdofindia> ah! misunderstanding. I meant you could switch from unity to cinnamon or something like that.
[20:47] <gdoteof> at first i aws logging in at like 640x480 but through some flailing am not able to boot into a somewhat useable session
[20:48] <asdofindia> jakestaats, like `sudo apt-get install gnome`
[20:48] <gdoteof> its abck at 4k.. by running unity-control-center
[20:48] <asdofindia> but again, i'm not sure it'll help
[20:48] <gdoteof> but i still don't have any menu, none of my keyboard shortcuts work
[20:48] <gdoteof> i can rightclick on the desktop to create a folder
[20:48] <gdoteof> opent he folder to get to nautilus, and then use nautilus to make a dekstop shortcut for a terminal
[20:49] <gdoteof> i tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and unity
[20:49] <wabi> unfortunatly..i am banned on the #erlang channel here.. anyone around besides of that channel..that is capable of programming some erlang ?
[20:49] <DrGrov> ssmy, Mind if I PM you about this matter? I think I know what to do but not 100% sure on how to achieve it.
[20:49] <PatrickDickey> gdoteof Was it ever working properly?
[20:49] <Weishen> why does ubuntu look like OS X? the settings and menus look alike.
[20:49] <gdoteof> PatrickDickey: yeah it was totally fine until i changed the resolution through the unity-control-center the first time
[20:50] <gdoteof> i just changed from the default 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 then eveyrthing broke
[20:50] <PatrickDickey> Weishen probably because OSX copied the look.
[20:50] <jakestaats> asdofindia it says unable to fetch some archives
[20:51] <asdofindia> jakestaats, ah, i'm so stupid. before you enter password to login, there's a small wrench icon, do you see? click on that and choose some other desktop environment than unity default
[20:51] <Weishen> PatrickDickey: ha funny, no but really ubuntu has gnome, kde and xfce, the latest ubuntu has os x look and feel, except the opened apps bar is on the left.
[20:52] <PatrickDickey> gdoteof you might try this rm ~/.config/monitors.xml from a command line, or go into monitors.xml and change the resolution back to what it was before. I'll admit I'm only guessing here though.
[20:52] <gdoteof> PatrickDickey: the resolution is back now
[20:53] <gdoteof> i was able to get it back to the original resolution, but the menu bar, ctrl-alt-t all window chrome (bars for oving, buttons for minimizing/closing) are all gone
[20:53] <jakestaats> asdofindia i dont see that on the log in screen
[20:53] <PatrickDickey> Well Weishen everyone copies each other. And I did read somewhere that Apple is copying the look of Unity (in their latest OS version).
[20:54] <asdofindia> before you login? which version of ubuntu? it must be on the top right of the small square where you enter the password
[20:54] <PatrickDickey> gdoteof Does CTRL+Alt+F2 work? You might be able to reboot, and see if that fixes everything.
[20:54] <gdoteof> PatrickDickey: yes it does; i ahve rebooted abotu a dozen times before i came in here
[20:55] <gdoteof> ctrl-alt-f2 and running startx was the only way i could get to where i am now
[20:55] <gdoteof> and like i said, i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and unity
[20:56] <gdoteof> i followed these instructions which i have seen all over: http://www.itworld.com/software/416001/reset-unity-desktop-ubuntu-1404
[20:58] <diego_> hola algun usuario de crunshbang ?
[20:58] <Weishen> I'm sure apple doesn't even take a look at ubuntu linux, being a non-profit free os available for anyone. They do their own thing
[20:58] <fingermybutthole> non-profit?
[20:59] <Weishen> yeah, wait except they started to sell ubuntu os phones now i guess they're making some money now.
[20:59] <jakestaats> i need to know how to uninstall ubuntu from terminal!!!
[21:00] <gdoteof> it's odd because everything at the login-screen works fine
[21:00] <gdoteof> but, just no "unity" environment it seems
[21:01] <gdoteof> i can alt-click windows to drag them
[21:01] <subman> My Dash no longer displays applications in its searches.  Just references and news and others.  If I choose to search in applications, nothing is ever found....like searching for 'system monitor' brings up no applications at all.  ideas?
[21:02] <PatrickDickey> jakestats I'm assuming you want to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop, right?
[21:02] <PatrickDickey> gdoteof what graphics card are you using?
[21:02] <gdoteof> r290x
[21:03] <jakestaats> yes patrick but i cant get past the log in screen
[21:03] <Weishen> anyone know why ubuntu unity have mac os x elements on the gui? close, minimize and maximize buttons being on the top left, centralized settings one window, etc.
[21:04] <Beldar> Weishen, only mac os in your mind.
[21:05] <PatrickDickey> jakestats Press CTRL+ALT+F2 keys together, and that should bring up a command line login prompt. Log in there, and type sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop. You'll have to install some desktop though.
[21:05] <Beldar> ask the unity desktop developers
[21:05] <ix_> Weishen, it's because the benevolent dictator admires os x
[21:05] <Beldar> they use in in the closet
[21:06] <jakestaats> patrick that will removw ubuntu from my hdd right?
[21:07] <Weishen> k
[21:07] <gdoteof> if i run unity --reset-icons &disown  the menu pops up for just a brief moment
[21:07] <gdoteof> and i get this error (among a bunch of loading plugins)
[21:07] <gdoteof> compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: opengl
[21:07] <gdoteof> libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32)
[21:09] <Beldar> Weishen, You seem uninformed, there are possible orders for touch phones in the future, no profit is made in theses departments, if their paid support is a different corp they may be making a small amount.
[21:09] <Beldar> do the research please
[21:09] <jo-erlend> PatrickDickey, uninstalling ubuntu-desktop won't remove any software. It's just a meta-package that is used to _install_ software.
[21:10] <PatrickDickey> jakestats exactly what are you trying to do? If you want to get rid of the entire operating system, that's one thing. If you're trying to switch to a different desktop, that's another.
[21:10] <jakestaats> patrick im trying to switch to windows
[21:10] <jo-erlend> jakestaats, no, removing the ubuntu-desktop package won't remove any software from your computer at all.
[21:11] <jo-erlend> jakestaats, you don't have to do anything in Ubuntu in order to do that. Just format the disk using Windows installer.
[21:11] <PatrickDickey> jakestaats then you need to put your Windows disc in, and run the installation. Reformat the entire drive, and install it.
[21:12] <Beldar> jakestaats, What windows release, and where did you get the install media?
[21:13] <DrGrov> Haha!
[21:13] <jakestaats> beldar i got windows 8.1
[21:13] <DrGrov> I got the resolution fixed with this help!
[21:13] <Beldar> jakestaats, Cool from where?
[21:13] <jakestaats> a store
[21:14] <Beldar> jakestaats, Good, you will need the activation key to install, just boot it as suggested use the key and hit install
[21:15] <DrGrov> But now I have lost my audio since it is travelling through the HDMI port LOL
[21:15] <jakestaats> beldar how do i mke a partition for windows
[21:15] <Beldar> jakestaats, If this is a uefi computer go to the bios and choose th sata cd boot
[21:15] <DrGrov> Is it possible to get a 100Hz TV to actually use a higher refresh rate than 60Hz?
[21:15] <Beldar> jakestaats, You want just windows right?
[21:15] <jakestaats> yes
[21:15] <asdofindia> i was following http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/kernfs.html and forgot to set the LFS variable. so, `mkdir -pv $LFS/$(readlink $LFS/dev/shm)` was run as `mkdir -pv /$(readlink /dev/shm)`
[21:16] <asdofindia> how can i revert this?
[21:16] <asdofindia> Or, does it need to be reverted?
[21:16] <ziofrenk> ciao
[21:16] <ziofrenk> !list
[21:16] <Beldar> jakestaats, If you want more than one partition there is a manual install, if not the auto install does all that for you.
[21:17] <DrGrov> Or do I need to limit myself to 60Hz even though the LED TV can handle 100Hz?
[21:17] <Beldar> jakestaats, REally this is a ##windows channel issue I'm on there and can help you there, ubuntu is not in the way of this.
[21:18] <DrGrov> This is the guide I used, I will save this and hope that anyone else who has issues uses this since it truly does help.
[21:18] <ix_> DrGrov, you probably could get it to 100hz, but playing with that can be dangerous
[21:18] <DrGrov> I used nvidia-settings and acquired the EDID, used his tool and thus making a custom EDID and then got the xorg.conf from nvidia-settings setup to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:19] <DrGrov> ix_, Ah but now I can remove the metamode and let it automatically work its magic to set it up as it wants automatically
[21:19] <subman> My Dash no longer displays applications in its searches.  Just references and news and others.  If I choose to search in applications, nothing is ever found....like searching for 'system monitor' brings up no applications at all.  ideas?
[21:20] <Beldar> subman, What have you modified on the desktop, E.g. themes, compiz....etc?
[21:20] <subman> Beldar: nope, stock
[21:20] <Guest62065> ciao
[21:20] <Guest62065> !list
[21:20] <Beldar> subman, Might need a reset look up the one for that release to reset unity and compiz.
[21:21] <ix_> DrGrov, I don't really know, but I see that xrandr can do it with xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 100, just insert the correct resolution
[21:21] <subman> Beldar: I don't understand 'look up the one for that release'.  Look up what?
[21:21] <Beldar> subman, There are buttons in the dash for specific groups I believe do any show there.
[21:22] <Beldar> subman, for example 14,04 unity compiz reset at google
[21:22] <subman> Beldar: yup.  Applications is selected, amongst others.  I can even choose applications icon from the bottom and do a search there but nothing shows up
[21:22] <Beldar> subman, what ubuntu release
[21:22] <ssmy> Beldar, got it working. combination of disabling non-UUID root in grub and apparently Crucial M4 mSATA ssds occasionally just don't work correctly on bootup. I'll have to get a better one.
[21:22] <histo> Beldar: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/reset-unity-and-compiz-settings-in-ubuntu-14-04/
[21:23] <Beldar> histo, I know just trying to conform releas if not posted already
[21:23] <subman> Beldar: 14.04
[21:24] <Beldar> subman, see histo post above
[21:25] <asdofindia> hi, can anyone tell me if "devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)" is in there `mount` output? (debugging purpose)
[21:25] <asdofindia> or, if it is not there.
[21:26] <ssmy> asdofindia, yes exactly as shown
[21:27] <asdofindia> beautiful. and tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) ?
[21:27] <Beldar> ssmy, I have a Crucial M4 myself, not sure about what  mSATA means, mine boots perfectly.
[21:28] <histo> asdofindia: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:28] <asdofindia> 14.04
[21:29] <ssmy> Beldar, mSATA is a different form factor. apparently the said versions occasionally boot incorrectly. as far as I can tell, the 2.5" versions are not affected.
[21:29] <histo> asdofindia: why are you concerned with those mounts?
[21:29] <subman> Beldar: nope, still no applications at all show up.  I have to start everything by the command line (if I remember the program name that is!)
[21:30] <asdofindia> histo, thanks for the concern. I ran http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/kernfs.html commands without setting LFS variable
[21:30] <Beldar> ssmy, Ah I was just looking at wikipedia I wondered, I love mine 256 gigs runs like lightening.
[21:30] <histo> asdofindia: are you tyring to build a LFS system inside of ubuntu?
[21:30] <rafaellaguna> :'(
[21:30] <Beldar> subman, Did you rebooot to finalize?
[21:30] <asdofindia> histo, well, I'm just following the book.
[21:31] <histo> asdofindia: What's your target though? another partition?
[21:31] <asdofindia> histo, yes. of course
[21:31] <ssmy> Beldar, it's plenty fast, just maybe not as reliable as hoped. mine is also an itty bitty 32g, but it's just a server boot disk. that's what backups are for I guess.
[21:31] <histo> asdofindia: K, just making sure you weren't doing something silly or maybe thought you had an XY problem
[21:32] <Beldar> ssmy, This is a ssd slot?
[21:32] <asdofindia> histo, I did do something silly :P by not setting LFS variable and running the commands in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 I have now derped my dns
[21:32] <Beldar> in a*
[21:33] <histo> asdofindia: yeah.. It happens, it's probably best to use their iso for environment etc...
[21:33] <histo> asdofindia: also there is #lfs-support
[21:33] <asdofindia> lfs-support is as usual, silent
[21:34] <asdofindia> histo, btw, could you tell me if "tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)" is in mount?
[21:34] <mendes> oi
[21:34] <Beldar> ssmy, Yeah that has to be problematic.
[21:34] <jakestaats> hey beldar im back i found out i partitioned my hard drive all to ubuntu so i need to fix ubuntu first
[21:35] <histo> asdofindia: yes, that's there from when they moved /var/run to /run to reduce the amount of tmpfs mounts
[21:35] <Beldar> jakestaats, To what install windows?
[21:35] <ssmy> Beldar, yes, it's essentially a combination of mini-pcie and SATA. very small form factor.
[21:35] <Beldar> over ubuntu jakestaats
[21:36] <asdofindia> histo and ssmy, thanks! that means my stupidity didn't cause my internet problem.
[21:36] <Beldar> jakestaats, Repair ubuntu to wipe it with a windows install?
[21:36] <Simon--> derp. does dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU return i486 on 32-bit ubuntu or something?
[21:36] <jakestaats> yes so i have to fix ubuntu, my problem is that i installed latest nvidia drivers and the computer reset and i cant get past the log in screen
[21:37] <Beldar> jakestaats, Whomever told you that is wrong, boot the windows media and install plain simple stuff.
[21:37] <histo> jakestaats: what happens after you login?
[21:38] <subman> Beldar: problem fixed after reboot.  Thanks!
[21:38] <jakestaats> its stuck on the oreange ubuntu 14.04 lts screen, like the one in the backround when you log in
[21:38] <asdofindia> jakestaats, hold down your power button for 5 seconds. You can restart
[21:38] <Beldar> jakestaats, As I understand your situation you do not want ubuntu and have a w8 install media is this correct?
[21:39] <jakestaats> yes but ubuntu has my whole hdd partitioned
[21:39] <Beldar> jakestaats, Not an issue I keep telling you and this is the wrong channel!!!!!
[21:40] <jakestaats> ok how do i goto windows one then?
[21:40] <Beldar> jakestaats, /j ##windows  I am there I can help you
[21:41] <Beldar> hopefully anyway
[21:41] <asdofindia> wow! never knew that channel existed
[21:43] <Beldar> asdofindia, not sure that is all you have missed. ;)
[21:59] <spence> is there a way to blacklist a faulty mirror when using mirror.txt?
[22:01] <yandexru> Hello, what is better, linux or linux ?
[22:01] <asdofindia> linux is better
[22:01] <yandexru> :D
[22:01] <yandexru> \
[22:01] <asdofindia> why does cd //run work? (and go to //run)
[22:03] <remuxa> so i'm setting up ubuntu using the minimal installer
[22:04] <remuxa> and every time i select "select and install components" (or something like that)
[22:04] <remuxa> it never gives me the option to choose said components
[22:04] <remuxa> (e.g. lubuntu-desktop, dns server, font pack, etc.)
[22:04] <asdofindia> http://askubuntu.com/questions/23808/what-is-the-double-slash-directory
[22:05] <remuxa> as a matter of fact, i've seen the box come up before
[22:05] <remuxa> but now, using the same settings, i can't get it to show up
[22:06] <remuxa> is this likely a problem with my cd?
[22:07] <remuxa> or am i choosing some option in the expert install that blocks the dialog box from appearing?
[22:07] <remuxa> (because of space constraints, the graphical installer is not an option for me)
[22:07] <stasiomod> http://webchat.freenode.net?nick=felixM&channels=%23ubuntu-offtopic&uio=d4
[22:12] <ssmy> asdofindia, any number of slashes is treated as one slash
[22:13] <blade57> hi all
[22:14] <blade57> im looking to see if any one of you know of a by passer for a company firewall filter
[22:16] <master_> hollo
[22:16] <gamax92> h
[22:16] <blade57> hi
[22:16] <DrGrov> Everything finally working as intended. Thank you everyone that helped and gave pointers!
[22:17] <DrGrov> Now I wonder. How can I get my old 13.10 /home from my 1TB drive assigned to my new user which /home on 14.10 is on the same drive (SSD) as the OS is?
[22:17] <holstein> !14.10 | DrGrov
[22:17] <DrGrov> Oh sorry
[22:17] <mkdmz> I've been spinning my wheel for three days on this question, could someone help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/483396/how-do-i-set-up-a-custom-icons-for-my-pygi-app-documents
[22:17] <DrGrov> I mean 14.04, I blame my tiredness for that holstein
[22:18] <holstein> DrGrov: you want to use 14.04 if you are worried about stability.. nothing in 14.04 is preventing you from using that /home config
[22:18] <DrGrov> holstein, No but I really want to get my current user to that /home as I had on 13.10. I had the same thing going on when I switched from 12.04 to 13.10 and now.
[22:18] <asdofindia> blade57, tor. but it will be slow.
[22:18] <gamax92> Is there legacy fglrx for 14.04?
[22:18] <mkdmz> Can someone tell me where the secret manual is for creating mimetypes for a new type of document, because the so-called official documentation DOES NOT WORK.
[22:19] <mkdmz> Can someone tell me where the secret manual is for creating mimetypes for a new type of document, because the so-called official documentation DOES NOT WORK.
[22:19] <holstein> DrGrov: sure.. use what you like, friend. i have not read the scroll back, but if you are finding you are having issues, try and *not*just pull the entire /home over and expect "magic".. just pull over what you need/want
[22:19] <IMTheNachoMan> hey guys. is it possible to create a cron schedule, or some kind of schedule, to run a python script even when the user is not logged in. or even if nobody is logged in?
[22:20] <holstein> mkdmz: there is no "secret" other that details here for the volunteers to be able to help
[22:20] <gamax92> Can the screensaver replaced?
[22:20] <holstein> !ati | gamax92
[22:20] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: You can create an startup script
[22:20] <holstein> gamax92: you can replace the screensaver, if thats your question
[22:20] <cuddylier> Anyone know why this may happen? http://puu.sh/9tIpT/0d28806b68.jpg
[22:20] <Artpicre> Where can I find some Unity themes ?
[22:20] <mkdmz> holstein: it is indeed a secrect because it is not listed in the documentation.
[22:20] <gamax92> holstein: but thats only fglrx 9, not the legacy one.
[22:21] <holstein> Artpicre: its not really meant for that.. typically, you just change the wallpaper, and it "self-themes"..
[22:21] <holstein> mkdmz: the documentation is open to be contributed to
[22:21] <holstein> !contribute | mkdmz
[22:21] <holstein> mkdmz: other than that, if you think you have found a bug, please help by filing..
[22:21] <holstein> !bug
[22:21] <holstein> gamax92: i would just check the repos
[22:22] <gamax92> which repos?
[22:22] <SethT> how do i allow remote connects to mysql in ubuntu. i have to allow access from my ip to port 3306 ?
[22:23] <Nubuntu> hey guys, new Ubuntu install...just noticed audio is very muddy and low sounding. Details: using Alienware 18 laptop and alsamixer turned up to max and system volume at 100%. Muddy sound like no treble and very low compared to Windows.
[22:23] <holstein> gamax92: the default ones.. i would just apt-cache search.. or, use synaptic, or whatever package manager i want to use to search, or just go right to ati, assuming they still suppor the kernel you are using, which may the be the reason you dont find support for your hardware
[22:23] <Artpicre> holstein> There are pre-installed themes, so I wandered if there was a website where I can download more. Because I've tested that some themes change windox appearance
[22:23] <holstein> !audio | Nubuntu
[22:23] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz, but doesn't user have to be logged in for those?
[22:23] <gamax92> ati doesn't officially support ot.
[22:23] <gamax92> but there are patches for 8.97 to kernel 3.13
[22:23] <mkdmz> holstein: Obviously new mimetypes are creates, because we have the different icons and certain apps launch them.  The problem is not a bug, it's people making changes and not documenting it so other can use the things appropriately.  Would you consider lack of documentation a bug?
[22:23] <Artpicre> And also colors of launchbar, icons and others
[22:24] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: No, they are designed to be run on run levels.
[22:24] <holstein> Artpicre: nothing is preventing themes from being provided, but, i say, if theming is the goal, you'll want something other than unity. its not really in the work flow to customize too much of it
[22:24] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz, i wanted something that will run every hour
[22:24] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: They are like rc scripts
[22:24] <asdofindia> can't there be cron jobs as root?
[22:25] <Artpicre> holstein> Oh.. Okay. So what sould I use for theming ?
[22:25] <Artpicre> should*
[22:25] <holstein> asdofindia: you shouldnt run anything as root, unless neccessary
[22:25] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: So create and init script that calls a python script, where the python script has a timer in it.  Set the init script to relaunch if it fails.
[22:25] <holstein> Artpicre: a desktop environment that supports theming and customization on the level that you seek
[22:26] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: If you look in /etc/init/ you will see some examples.  I would look up startup as well to learn some things.
[22:26] <asdofindia> holstein, ironic. I'm just learning to build LFS and this chapter should be entirely run as root
[22:26] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz, k. ty!
[22:27] <Artpicre> holstein> Do you have some examples ? It doesn't matter for me, which level of customization.
[22:27] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/814/how-to-run-scripts-on-start-up
[22:28] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[22:31] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz:  awesome. ty
[22:33] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: The best way to learn is to make a real basic start up file, then copy it to /etc/init/
[22:33] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: Then use: sudo initctl start yourScriptName
[22:33] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan: if it runs you are good.  You can stop it with: sudo initctl stop scriptName
[22:34] <mkdmz> But you have to tell it to start on that signal inside the script.
[22:34] <mkdmz> Once you get that going, you can add what ever you want in it.
[22:35] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz:  humm. i am reading and wondering if cron might work too?
[22:35] <mkdmz> IMTheNachoMan:  Maybe.  I don't use cron.
[22:36] <arve> Hello all! How do you disconnect a remote sftp connection when logged on to the same server as sftp connection goes to? I do last and I can't see this connection listed
[22:36] <DrGrov> So, how can I move old /home to my new user on that 1TB drive?
[22:38] <IMTheNachoMan> mkdmz:  thanks sir/ma'am. i will read up
[22:38] <IMTheNachoMan> preciate it
[22:40] <arve> exit
[22:41] <Nubuntu> ok no luck with muddy sound in Ubuntu. Anyone ever experience this it sounds very low and no treble. Why would it be such bad quality compared to windows??
[22:42] <Vivekananda> how do I install emacs lips intro on ubuntu 12.04
[22:43] <blade57> im looking to see if any one of you know of a by passer for a company firewall filter
[22:43] <AirForce590> Hey I need help lz
[22:43] <AirForce590> plz
[22:43] <DrGrov> holstein, But the problem is that I want to use that drive since I was using it as a primary drive. It is my only drive except the SSD that has the OS.
[22:44] <AirForce590> I installed ubuntu server 14.04 and it shows the statrup dialog, but no prompt!
[22:44] <AirForce590> Can some1 help me
[22:48] <DrGrov> I mean there has to be a way, yes?
[22:49] <coniform> hi, I need help with ubuntu. started with windows 8.1, was able to install 14.04, but on bootup only goes back into windows; grub is missing
[22:51] <digerati_> with dynamic resolv, how can i determine my DNS being used?
[22:51] <DrGrov> Running Xubuntu 14.04 and having my old /home from 13.10 on a 1TB drive. How can I easily get my old /home from that 1TB drive to my current user since my /home now is on a 120GB SSD.
[22:53] <digerati_> DrGrov, have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[22:53] <mkdmz> How can I find the Team Leader who handles mimetype stuff for Ubuntu?
[22:56] <DrGrov> digerati_, Apparently I have a /media/username/oldname already
[22:58] <vombocorn> Hey all
[22:58] <vombocorn> ping
[23:00] <asdofindia> coniform, lookup boot-repair
[23:00] <DrGrov> digerati_, The problem I am having is that I do not understand exactly how to proceed.
[23:00] <DrGrov> digerati_, It feels like I am in the middle somewhere between the steps.
[23:01] <LinuxGuruz> Anyone used LightZone?
[23:01] <LinuxGuruz> Worth trying?
[23:01] <asdofindia> DrGrov, I think what you want is to mount "/home" to your /dev/sdxN for the hard disk
[23:03] <digerati_> DrGrov, i would just prepare the new home partition or drive
[23:03] <digerati_> then copy the data over
[23:03] <asdofindia> but 1TB > 250 GB
[23:03] <digerati_> thats just the size of the drive, not the amount of actual data right?
[23:04] <RevMode> anyone know how to get 2.1 setup properly for Ubuntu?
[23:04] <asdofindia> Parkinson's law: Data expands to fill the space available
[23:05] <RevMode> problem appears to be playing mono but no place i can see to switch to stereo, and i think its playing through subwoofer only instead of splitting 2.1...anyone?
[23:06] <digerati_> RevMode, confirm with a phone or iphone to source the problem
[23:07] <digerati_> if its PC side, are there a number of audio sources on the back of the computer?
[23:07] <digerati_> you may want to try all ports, on mine i have a dedicated sub minijack port
[23:07] <RevMode> digerati, how do you mean source problem?
[23:07] <digerati_> figure out if its a computer side or audio equipment side
[23:07] <digerati_> cuts the troubleshooting in hald
[23:07] <digerati_> half*
[23:07] <RevMode> digerati, its a laptop with built in speakers
[23:08] <digerati_> with a subwoofer?
[23:08] <RevMode> digerati, well supposedly a 2.1 setup, its an alienware 18
[23:08] <digerati_> oh wow
[23:09] <digerati_> i was having similar audio issues, but it turns out i just didnt know anything about my audio card lol
[23:09] <RevMode> mostly i need to know how to configure it in ubuntu though it shows only mono on the sound config
[23:09] <RevMode> and this alsamixer stuff is confusing
[23:09] <digerati_> i would research alsa
[23:09] <digerati_> yeah
[23:10] <digerati_> im sure theres someone here that knows a lot about alsa
[23:10] <digerati_> hahha
[23:11] <dweezil> test
[23:11] <RevMode> actually i think its just the mono setting, how do you change to stereo?
[23:13] <digerati_> RevMode, https://superuser.com/questions/59481/how-to-swap-stereo-channels-in-ubuntu
[23:13] <DrGrov> I shall return tomorrow and fix that home stuff then
[23:14] <DrGrov> Thanks again for the kind help received today and have a good one!
[23:14] <digerati_> Take care :)
[23:14] <alberto_> oi
[23:14] <digerati_> dat alberto
[23:14] <alberto_> alguem fala portugês ?
[23:14] <alberto_> NiC
[23:19] <tay_> Howdy, question.
[23:19] <RevMode> im not sure i need to swap channels, is that what my problem is? i dont know what swapping channels is referring to but i think mono is definitely wrong
[23:19] <tay_> Can I dualboot Ubuntu when my computer boot is in Legacy mode?
[23:19] <coniform> asdofindia: I followed boot-repair and it just completed, it gives me an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/7646188/
[23:19] <psusi> tay_, of course
[23:19] <tay_> Because I've searched through all the options in my PC's limited BIOS, and I couldn't find a Legacy > EFI option.
[23:19] <asdofindia> coniform, of course
[23:19] <tay_> Ok
[23:20] <tay_> Thanks :)
[23:20] <coniform> should I reboot my computer?
[23:20] <coniform> I have not done that yet
[23:21] <asdofindia> coniform, the grub config seems to have been set. So I'd try restarting.
[23:27] <tay_> I've just run the Boot Repair utility, and after rebooting I'm at the grub console.
[23:27] <coniform> asdofindia: thank you so much for your help, it looks like it is working now!
[23:27] <tay_> Should I just exit the grub console to boot into Windows? The guide I'm following says I have to run bcdedit still.
[23:34] <tay_> Ok, when I exit grub it gives me "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"
[23:34] <tay_> So I can't even boot into Windows to run bcdedit.
[23:51] <monkwitdafunk> Hi #ubuntu. Does trusty rely on sata3. No more sata2. i volunteer in recycling services
[23:57] <asdofindia> tay_, you can still boot with grub console
[23:58] <tay_> Ok, so I ran Boot-Repair with slightly different parameters and now it just boots into Windows exclusively.
[23:58] <tay_> I've tried bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
[23:58] <tay_> But it doesn't seem to change anything, I still boot into Windows every time.
