| tay_ | I did get a pastebin. | 00:04 |

| Beldar | vani, Ah you did not say that before, we do not read your mind. | 00:37 |
| vani | I want sure what information to give you | 00:38 |
| Beldar | vani, all you have to do is read what you have written, but I can't help with encryption is all. | 00:39 |
| vani | I can give you that: I executed sudo usermod -p '!' root prior the last reboot that everything was working | 00:40 |
| Beldar | vani, hope you get it resolved, but just for this exact scenario, do you really need encryption? | 00:40 |
| vani | now I cant decrypt it even with a live usb drive booted | 00:41 |
| vani | considering that I know from experience what happens when important files get into the wrong hands, I need it | 00:41 |
| vani | and is not the first time I used encryption | 00:42 |
| vani | or linux | 00:42 |
| vani | do you want to see a luksDump ? | 00:42 |
| Beldar | vani, Than you should know how difficult getting back in will be if you have experience, and don't assume I'm projecting any level of linux use or if you have used encryption before. | 00:43 |
| asdofindia | vani, how do you usually enter your password? | 00:43 |
| Beldar | vani, I never encrypt anything but passwords so I have no experience here, best of luck again. ;) | 00:44 |
| vani | asdofindia what do you mean ? I usually input the password in the boot screen | 00:45 |
| vani | the system is a netbook | 00:45 |
| asdofindia | I mean, the encryption passphrase and the user's login password are the same? | 00:45 |

| tay_ | asdofindia, if modprobe efivars doesn't give any output in terminal, what then? | 00:46 |
| vani | OerHeks I did not just encrypt only my home directory I encrypted the whole partition, using the partition manager in the ubuntu set up stem | 00:47 |

| tay_ | Pretty much the same result. | 00:48 |

| ActionParsnip | Texla: what is the program? | 00:54 |
| Beldar | cuddylier, What release are you trying to install? | 00:54 |

| asdofindia | tay_, "The boot of your PC is in Legacy mode. You may want to retry after changing it to EFI mode." caught my eye | 00:55 |
| cuddylier | Beldar: 12.0.4 | 00:55 |
| tay_ | I saw that too | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Texla: i suggest you contact the developer | 00:55 |
| tay_ | I asked about it earlier, but in my BIOS I have searched many times without success to find a EFI mode | 00:55 |
| asdofindia | I don't know enough about the difference between legacy and efi to say if that actually makes a difference | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Texla: if it doesnt run in a standard way you may find it spawns another icon on the Unity Launcher | 00:56 |
| texla | ActionParsnip, I have all the needed info to make a launcher only need to know how to make in unity | 00:56 |
| Beldar | cuddylier, Ah, I'm assuming any kernel of releases above that are adding their kernel stack, I would choose the generic, but get this confirmed before acting, I would install 14.04 if it were me not 12.04 | 00:57 |
| tay_ | Yeah I'm not sure | 00:57 |
| tay_ | I'm really at an impasse | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | texla: put the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications | 00:57 |
| cuddylier | Beldar: Yeah, I just noticed 14.04 however I used 13.10 or whatever before and my MySQL just didn't work at all remotely no matter what I did including commenting out the IP in the config so I gave up. | 00:57 |
| texla | ActionParsnip, It spawns another but I cannot lock it | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | texla: if you drag the icon from Dash to the launcher, is it ok? | 00:58 |
| Beldar | cuddylier, Cool, 12.04 still has some years of support. | 00:58 |
| cuddylier | Good, I'll keep using it for now as it seems really stable and rock solid. | 00:58 |

| Beldar | lastinfidel, Have you resized windows inside it leaving an unallocated space yet? | 01:17 |
| lastinfidel | That would make sense. 3 gigs would be enough? | 01:18 |
| Beldar | lastinfidel, Not really. I would go larger, what is your intended use? | 01:19 |
| lastinfidel | Not to dual boot, but just to be running ubuntu. | 01:20 |
| Beldar | lastinfidel, use a virtual than | 01:20 |
| lastinfidel | virtual? | 01:21 |
| Beldar | lastinfidel, virtual machine windows has it's own and there are others | 01:21 |

| monkwitdafunk | Yes. That would be perfect. Xen is an example | 01:28 |

| IbnSaeed | I would like to learn to secure the server | 02:16 |
| IbnSaeed | Are there any guides that i can follow along | 02:16 |
| IbnSaeed | yes, 14.04 | 02:16 |
| holstein | IbnSaeed: there are security channels.. and lots of documentation online about "hardening" | 02:16 |
| holstein | !firewall | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 02:16 |
| IbnSaeed | Thank you | 02:17 |
| IbnSaeed | holstein, is that a channel name ? | 02:17 |
| Beldar | #=channel | 02:17 |
| IbnSaeed | tried joining #-firewall, its invite only | 02:19 |
| IbnSaeed | Any othr channel for asking help on hardning a vps server | 02:19 |
| apb1963 | what I'm not understanding is that the software seems to be at this link https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/xnconvert/ ... but I'm getting the error. My server is set to "United States" for Muon. | 02:19 |
| Beldar | !alis | IbnSaeed | 02:19 |

| Beldar | IbnSaeed, Be aware of #ubuntu-server as well | 02:20 |
| IbnSaeed | Beldar, thanks. holstein, ill go through the iptables link | 02:24 |
| holstein | IbnSaeed: why not ufw? | 02:24 |

| PatrickDickey | Are all of the ubuntu sites down for maintenance? I tried launchpad earlier, and it's down. Now I can't access packages.ubuntu.com either. | 03:16 |
| Beldar | needhelp, Address the issue your having for help. | 03:16 |
| Bashing-om | PatrickDickey: All I know presently is " datacenter issues" .. unknown how far spread the issue is. | 03:18 |
| avryn | PatrickDickey same here on some of the repos not being accessible | 03:18 |
| avryn | I'd have to assume its related... | 03:18 |
| needhelp | Beldar; My root path is mounted as /dev/sda1. And my hardware raid partition is also mounted as /dev/sda1, How do i change the name of sda to sdb or sdc without haxing the kernel? | 03:19 |
| genii | PatrickDickey: The single-sign-on is also affected | 03:19 |
| Beldar | needhelp, no idea I know nothing about raid, not sure that post represents a raid set up anyway. | 03:21 |
| needhelp | Beldar, its a fresh install, i dont have much provide other than the name of the hw raid card, 3ware 9550sx | 03:22 |
| Beldar | needhelp, Cool, I know nothing about raid, and details are your best key was really my point. NOt that I could even help. | 03:23 |
| needhelp | cool | 03:23 |
| tay_ | Hey guys, general question. Is the Boot Repair PPA down? | 03:26 |
| tay_ | Can't seem to access it from term. | 03:26 |
| Beldar | tay_, yes all are | 03:26 |
| tay_ | Oh, ok. Scheduled downtime? | 03:26 |
| Beldar | nope | 03:26 |
| avryn | all we have is "datacenter issues" | 03:26 |
| tay_ | Crap, ok. Thanks! | 03:26 |
| Artemis3 | yup hold your horses | 03:27 |
| PatrickDickey | tay_ according to the launchpad channel, they're having DC issues (Domain Controller?) | 03:27 |
| tay_ | yeah thanks | 03:28 |

| Cybertron_ | I'm in need of a bit of help if someone could point me in the right direction. I've setup an ubuntu server with an iSCSI connection to my Synology NAS box, but somehow the server is running out of space. the iscsi folder seems to be fine, but I'm at a huge loss as to how to manage the hard drives and partitions on this thing. | 03:31 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 03:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | i need to setup file sharing between 4 pcs, whats the best way to do that ? 2 are ubuntu 2 are mint | 03:33 |
| Cybertron_ | Example: root@hoist:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/hoist-root 29G 28G 0 100% / | 03:33 |
| lotuspsychje | silv3r_m00n: ssh or ftp maybe | 03:33 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, apt-get install ssh | 03:33 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, ok sudo apt-get install ssh :) | 03:34 |
| * PatrickDickey is really starting to hate Nvidia cards. | 03:34 | |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: you wanna free space on the 29gig? | 03:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | for ssh wont the users need to use the commandline, i need some simple gui method | 03:34 |
| Bashing-om | silv3r_m00n: All machines on the same router ? | 03:34 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, no, the file browser can go to ssh urls | 03:34 |
| Cybertron_ | lotuspsychje: well, I'd like to understand what the heck is taking up the space. its a 30GB drive, its a VM... i dont get what is using the space but I cant find it. | 03:35 |
| silv3r_m00n | yup, lan, but what i need is something like click a folder and share it, click a file share it, remove the share when done etc | 03:35 |
| Artemis3 | try du Cybertron_ | 03:36 |
| PatrickDickey | Cybertron_ You could install boabab and use that to find out. It's the graphical version of du. | 03:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: you running a iscsi server with a vm on the 29gig /dev/mapper? | 03:36 |
| Cybertron_ | well, what on earth is my boot drive called /dev/mapper/hoist-root ? | 03:36 |
| Artemis3 | Cybertron_, ie. du -h --max-depth=1 /folderyoulike | 03:36 |
| genii | silv3r_m00n: Probably NFS then | 03:36 |
| Cybertron_ | no, the iscsi part is /crashplan and has 25GB in it, with 107GB total avail | 03:37 |
| Khrome | Having trouble with grub gpt vs mbr disks. I have 1 drive (out of 6 on my system) that seems to have a valid GPT format. Tried booting an MBR disk with Windows from that GPT (ubuntu) grub install, and was told that's a big fail. sO I tried formatting another disk to gpt and installing windows there. Seemed to work, but not gdisk seems to think it does NOT have a valid protective MBR entry. have to use MBR and I get the partition in | 03:37 |
| Khrome | fo. if I use GPT, it gives me nothing. Smells like this is all sorts of wrong. Can anyone help? | 03:37 |
| sveta | Cybertron_: ncdu http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ncdu-4.jpg | 03:37 |
| sveta | Cybertron_: (it counts everywhere, you can browse) | 03:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | genii: can it be easily used from within file managers like nautilus ? and can it share across with other os like windows ? | 03:37 |
| sveta | Cybertron_: gui is kdirstat too | 03:37 |
| Cybertron_ | Ahh, i tried to install NCDU.... but... no free space lol | 03:37 |
| Cybertron_ | no gui, just CLI at the moment | 03:38 |
| sveta | it is just ~20mb binary | 03:38 |
| sveta | yuo can download it from the website | 03:38 |
| sveta | 67k binary | 03:38 |
| genii | silv3r_m00n: It works well on linux-linux networks but not so much on Windows. You did say 2 ubuntu 2 mint machines and no mention of Windows :) .. anyhow, if in the fstab then file manager will see it on *nix | 03:38 |
| Artemis3 | Cybertron_, just use du lol | 03:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !fixmbr | Khrome | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Khrome: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 03:39 |
| Artemis3 | genii, you can use filezilla or simillar in windows. | 03:39 |
| Cybertron_ | here is what I get.... I have this mount.... /dev/sdb1 on /crashplan type ext4 (rw,_netdev) | 03:39 |
| genii | silv3r_m00n: If you mave mixed platform network then the safe call for sharing files across all is Samba | 03:40 |
| pwieczkowski | Having trouble reaching the launchpad.net | 03:40 |
| Cybertron_ | root@hoist:/# du -h --max-depth=1 858M ./usr 25G ./crashplan 203M ./lib | 03:40 |
| Khrome | lotuspsychje: That doesn't help me much. I'd prefer to stay with gpt if I can, but don't know how/why the gpt format isn't valid/correct | 03:40 |
| PatrickDickey | silv3r_m00n if you have any Windows machines, I'd recommend SAMBA. Actually I'd recommend it anyhow, but that's my personal preference. | 03:40 |
| Cybertron_ | but for some reason ./crashplan is counting for the / root drive? | 03:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Artemis3: can you explain how those ssh links work exactly, does one need to setup a link to be able to download on browser on the other site? | 03:40 |
| genii | Artemis3: To access an NFS share someplace? | 03:40 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, with nautilus, open url sftp://127.0.0.1 <- the address you like, any machine with the ssh server installed | 03:40 |
| Cybertron_ | well /crashplan, not ./ thats just du output | 03:41 |
| * genii makes a note to look at filezilla again sometime | 03:41 | |
| lotuspsychje | Artemis3: nice trick | 03:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | okay samba looks good | 03:41 |
| Artemis3 | not really, the gvfs file browsers have it (such as thunar) | 03:41 |
| Artemis3 | samba needs configuration, not so simple, with ssh you do nothing | 03:42 |
| lotuspsychje | silv3r_m00n: but you only have 4 ubuntu machines without windows? | 03:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | lotuspsychje: actually one of them has xp dualboot, because the hp printer connected to it does not work on ubuntu, so at times it boots into xp | 03:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | so i want to use something that is portable | 03:43 |
| PatrickDickey | Then samba is your option silv3r_m00n. | 03:44 |
| silv3r_m00n | yeah | 03:44 |
| PatrickDickey | What kind of HP printer do you have? | 03:44 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, rare to find an hp printer not working with linux, perhaps you need the hpijs package or friends | 03:44 |
| colinshen_ | hi | 03:44 |
| lotuspsychje | silv3r_m00n: did you install hplip tools on ubuntu? | 03:44 |
| Cybertron_ | Here is what I dont understand..... http://pastebin.com/FbFWb57P | 03:45 |
| Cybertron_ | why is / 100% full | 03:45 |
| PatrickDickey | Cybertron_ check your crashplan config, and make sure it's actually going to your ./crashplan drive. | 03:45 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, and filezilla (windows) can connect just fine to sftp, im sure there are many others | 03:45 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, sftp=ssh | 03:45 |
| silv3r_m00n | its hp deskjet 1050 and latest hplip is installed, but in the printout the fonts are very starved (granular) and very ugly, the scans are equally ugly | 03:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | i filed a bug on launchpad, let me see what happened to it | 03:46 |
| Ludlow | Hola. Anyone know why extras.ubuntu.com is not resolving? | 03:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: try this: sudo du -a /home | sort -n -r | head -n 10 | 03:46 |
| Artemis3 | silv3r_m00n, not now lol, launchpad is down | 03:46 |
| saiarcot895 | silv3r_m00n: I have the 1050, but I don't have the problem you describe | 03:47 |
| Cybertron_ | 73240 /home | 03:47 |
| colinshen_ | im tring to open a php project,which is under opt/lampp, in sublimetext.it say i dont have compentence to open it. what can i do? | 03:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | looks like it is down half the times | 03:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/296172/dev-mapper-full | 03:47 |
| Cybertron_ | I just deleted everything in Crashplan... | 03:47 |
| PatrickDickey | silv3r_m00n I'd go to HP's support site, and get the hplip from there. Just in case it has something for your printer that the ubuntu repository version doesn't. | 03:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | saiarcot895: really ? are your printouts clean and crisp ? | 03:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: must be some folders you looked over | 03:47 |
| Ludlow | Artemis3, is extras.ubuntu.com down? | 03:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | PatrickDickey: yes, i downloaded hplip from site, the latest version | 03:48 |
| Artemis3 | Ludlow, yes, it appears other ubuntu related sites are down as well | 03:48 |
| Bashing-om | Cybertron_: Maybe -> dpkg -l | grep linux-image <- lots of old kernels and /boot is full ?? | 03:48 |
| saiarcot895 | silv3r_m00n: pretty clean. No granuality or anything. I have hplip 3.14.3 from the repos | 03:48 |
| Ludlow | Artemis3, ok thank you for the insight ") | 03:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | saiarcot895: hmmmm, that looks suspiscious | 03:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !info hplip | silv3r_m00n | 03:48 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m00n: hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.14.3-0ubuntu3 (trusty), package size 62 kB, installed size 384 kB | 03:48 |
| Artemis3 | just wait until they reach the datacenter to push the big red reset button or something | 03:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | actually i used it on Linux Mint 16, with latest hplip drivers, do you think, that something local to linux mint can cause printing troubles ? | 03:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | that hardware is all right since xp printouts are very beautiful | 03:49 |
| avryn | Artemis3 hah, if only it were always that easy! | 03:49 |
| Artemis3 | just joking :3 | 03:49 |
| lotuspsychje | silv3r_m00n: we cant support mint here mate | 03:49 |
| saiarcot895 | silv3r_m00n: my guess is no; since they use Ubuntu/Debian packages | 03:49 |
| Ludlow | Artemis3, Looks like 91.189.92.152 is down right for extras.ubuntu.com | 03:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | exactly | 03:50 |
| Artemis3 | !mint | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 03:50 |
| Artemis3 | but i'd say, check package names and versions, they often match | 03:50 |
| PatrickDickey | Ludlow all of the ubuntu sites are down. They had an issue in the DataCenter. | 03:50 |
| Artemis3 | ie. cups version, and the hp related packages | 03:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | saiarcot895: but as you said, now i need to try it again | 03:50 |
| Ludlow | PatrickDickey, oh wow didnt know it was that big of an issue | 03:51 |
| avryn | it seems to be somewhat sporadic with the repos tho | 03:51 |
| ClosedCaption | Does anyone use CairoDock and have run into the problem with Impulse plugin not working? How did you fix it? | 03:51 |
| Cybertron_ | ok, ncdu installed after i deleted the crashplan contents..... http://i.gyazo.com/1425f4442b69d6073d8a91651c394f10.png | 03:51 |
| Cybertron_ | i freed up that space, but df -h still reports old info | 03:52 |
| Cybertron_ | I'm a windows guy, so I'll just reboot. lol | 03:52 |
| Artemis3 | avryn, i'd guess the sites with .ubuntu.com in their url are not working (including repos) | 03:52 |
| lotuspsychje | ClosedCaption: did you try docky? | 03:52 |
| dengtk | hello! | 03:52 |
| avryn | Artemis3 - that's whats odd... doesnt always seem to be the case | 03:53 |
| dengtk | bye... | 03:53 |
| Artemis3 | datacenter issue, i don't know how deep and how many sites it affects | 03:53 |
| avryn | most of the time i'd agree.. but i've gotten a few packages to pull by just trying repeatedly - their repos seem to be at least semi-load balanced... so maybe one of the ips is in a different location or something? | 03:53 |
| Cybertron_ | Artemis3: the site is only hosted in one DC? | 03:53 |
| avryn | it's starting to seem that way cybertron_ - you'd think they'd be a bit smarter than that tho... right? | 03:54 |
| Artemis3 | maybe they'll give details later | 03:54 |
| Cybertron_ | avryn: yeah, if they have the cash... i work for a managed hosting provider and I can say it gets REAL costly Real quick | 03:55 |
| Artemis3 | what is sure is that right now many ubuntu related sites are down due to "datacentre issues" | 03:56 |
| pipeep | Any idea on when the ubuntu sites are going to come back up? | 03:56 |
| genii | pipeep: No ETA currently | 03:57 |
| pipeep | k | 03:57 |
| Artemis3 | LAUNCHPAD IS DOWN due to an upstream network failure -- no ETA | 03:57 |
| genii | !lpstatus | 03:57 |
| ubottu | If PPAs or other Launchpad services seem unavailable, please check https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus to see if there is a current issue which is already known | 03:57 |
| pipeep | Yeah, that sucks, but that's networking for you. | 03:57 |
| lotuspsychje | ClosedCaption: try uninstall cairo-dock and reinstall maybe? what version are you using? | 03:57 |
| genii | The twitter feed in the bot's link will have their latest status. Just keep checking back to see if it's up again | 03:57 |
| DarkOrb | Guess that also explains the lack of access to security. as well then | 03:58 |
| Cybertron_ | Alright this is crazy.... I just deleted /crashplan contents..... I've rebooted, and now the iSCSI target which should be /crashplan is no longer mounted... BUT, there is still 25GB in the /crashplan folder. So is it possible there are 2 folders in the same place? | 03:58 |
| Artemis3 | Cybertron_, if you unmount and make a folder with the same name, yes, its stored in / and when you mount something to it the mounted device takes over | 03:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: you need a specific cleanout mate, try those old kernels clean like Bashing-om suggested | 03:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: then investigate all folders with logs, or big files | 04:00 |
| Cybertron_ | http://pastebin.com/Rxz8TSpR thats all i have | 04:01 |
| Cybertron_ | lotuspsychje: The space issue is resolved, however, i think i've created a folder where a mount is like Artemis3 is suggesting. | 04:01 |
| Cybertron_ | For some reason, the mount did not take this reboot, and now I'm left with the actual folder. | 04:02 |
| Artemis3 | Cybertinus, just umount, browse the folder and delete, then mount again | 04:02 |
| Cybertron_ | Delete the folder or delete the contents | 04:02 |
| Artemis3 | the contents | 04:02 |
| Cybertron_ | ok | 04:02 |
| Artemis3 | you do need the folder for a mount point | 04:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Cybertron_: just out of curiosity, wich ubuntu version you installed on your iscsi | 04:02 |
| Cybertron_ | lotuspsychje: I dont know a lot about iSCSI, but the ubuntu server is connecting to a commercial NAS. So, ubuntu is only connecting, not serving. | 04:03 |
| itsnotlupus | Hi.. indicator-sound is trying to start pulseaudio every 4 seconds, and failing because it's already running.. what do? | 04:04 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound | itsnotlupus | 04:04 |
| ubottu | itsnotlupus: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 04:04 |
| itsnotlupus | ooh. a quest. I like those! | 04:04 |
| itsnotlupus | I accept. | 04:05 |
| lotuspsychje | xangua: tnx again for multisystem, ive managed to install 6 ubuntu iso's on my stick now :p | 04:05 |
| avryn | itsnotupus - but dont forget... the help.ubuntu.com link wont work... so... its not a ton of help at the moment. hah. | 04:06 |
| itsnotlupus | avryn, let me guess.. same datacenter as launchpad? | 04:06 |
| avryn | seems so | 04:06 |
| itsnotlupus | darn. guess I can't go kill my 6 rats yet. | 04:07 |
| itsnotlupus | oh, it loaded. | 04:07 |
| avryn | hah nice | 04:07 |
| avryn | its been super sporadic for me | 04:07 |
| Cybertron_ | If NCDU shows http://i.gyazo.com/e9b69690ea73f67ca5dfc932e9ee421e.png .... why on earth is / still full according to http://i.gyazo.com/ef152452b072258c7189108a7465baf3.png | 04:07 |
| avryn | so use it while you've got it lol | 04:07 |
| itsnotlupus | yeah, it took a little while | 04:07 |
| avryn | launchpad just updated that they're down due to "upstream network issues" so... that sounds fun | 04:07 |
| Beldar | lotuspsychje, I use that multiloader it is the bomb. ;) | 04:08 |
| Artemis3 | i use it too, quite convenient | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Beldar: did you find any easy .deb somewhere, i had to mess with that script to install? | 04:09 |
| Artemis3 | multisystem that is | 04:09 |
| itsnotlupus | I'm getting a vibe that I'm making my life harder by upgrading ubuntu rather than just reinstalling it on a blank drive. | 04:09 |
| jadergabriel | hello | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | itsnotlupus: i recommend clean install :p | 04:09 |
| Beldar | lotuspsychje, Nope just from the site, the script I think at pendrive I drug to the terminal. | 04:09 |
| jadergabriel | i'm find the translate teams | 04:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Beldar: yes same here, but would be handy for other users to find an easier way | 04:10 |
| jadergabriel | somebody, know an team | 04:10 |

| Random1 | i choose tonight at this hour to do linux stuff | 04:25 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt, You know haow to chroot? | 04:25 |
| Random1 | and repo suddenly goes down | 04:25 |
| Beldar | how* | 04:25 |
| * Random1 crys | 04:25 | |
| MarkProffitt | Beldar, I understand what you are saying but I don't know how to do it myself (haven't used *nix in a decade) | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkProffitt: what Os did came by default on your machine? | 04:26 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt, Did you use a usb to install? | 04:26 |
| Bashing-om | Random1: Most likely fixable from the liveDVD . | 04:26 |
| MarkProffitt | Beldar Windows 7, LiLi | 04:26 |
| Beldar | <Beldar> MarkProffitt, Did you use a usb to install? | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkProffitt: wich ubuntu version? | 04:27 |
| MarkProffitt | 14.04-desktop-amd64, hmm, my computer is Intel | 04:28 |
| Random1 | Beldar: live dvd can get me the bumblebee package stuff? | 04:28 |
| Random1 | needa get it working for my laptop so can use its real gpu lol | 04:28 |
| MarkProffitt | Beldar, yes, USB stick | 04:28 |
| PatrickDickey | !grub | MarkProffitt | 04:28 |
| ubottu | MarkProffitt: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:28 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt, I ask about the usb as the HD and the usb can get switched putting grub in it's mbr | 04:28 |
| MarkProffitt | Beldar, LiLi to create the bootable | 04:28 |
| Random1 | er Bashing-om rather * | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkProffitt: doublecheck your bios for secureboot is on/off | 04:29 |
| Beldar | MarkProffitt, Try booting with the usb in. | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | someone should invent an easy wubi alternative for windows users to switch easy | 04:32 |
| Bashing-om | Random1: Nope on liveDVD for BumbleBee ; : https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee <- might have the better answers. | 04:32 |
| MarkProffitt | lotuspsychje, I tried with SecureBoot off | 04:32 |
| MarkProffitt | it was on before. No love either way | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkProffitt: can you tell us what you did exactly on the hd switch? | 04:33 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkProffitt: did you change bios IDE to AHCI? | 04:34 |
| PatrickDickey | MarkProffitt if you installed with secure boot on, you might have to reinstall with it off. Also, if you're not going to dual-boot, you might want to set it in CSM (Compatibility Mode or BIOS mode). | 04:34 |
| MarkProffitt | lotuspsychje, brand new laptop, brand new harddrive. Pulled the out the drivethelaptop came with,replaced it with the newharddriveright out of the box. | 04:35 |
| MarkProffitt | PatrickDickey, how do I do that? | 04:35 |
| PatrickDickey | You'll have to look around in BIOS. There should be an option for CSM or BIOS mode. | 04:36 |
| MarkProffitt | UEFI | 04:36 |
| Beldar | it was a msdos HD probably as well, if not formatted with a gpt table | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | PatrickDickey: this uefi thing is really weird, i had one w8 machine with secureboot on one day, and 14.04 installed on it out of the box | 04:36 |
| MarkProffitt | I'm going to try installing again with Secure Boot off, and CMS | 04:37 |
| PatrickDickey | Yeah, I know what you mean lotuspsychje. I couldn't get Ubuntu to install unless I used the server iso. It would install in CSM, but not EFI. | 04:37 |
| PatrickDickey | MarkProffitt you said you had Windows 7 installed right? | 04:38 |
| MarkProffitt | PatrickDickey, no, the drive is brandnew, nothingonit | 04:38 |
| MarkProffitt | I'm using a Windows 7 box to talk to you now, that is how I made the USB install | 04:38 |
| PatrickDickey | MarkProffitt you could always google "Disabling UEFI Toshiba ES5 or whichever model you have. | 04:40 |
| MarkProffitt | PatrickDickey, I figured out how to switch to CMS, I'm trying that now | 04:40 |
| Random1 | okay so i called the emergency operations at the data center for the launchpad repo | 04:41 |
| Random1 | apparently they are the 1st to hear about it! | 04:41 |
| Random1 | and no eta yet | 04:41 |
| MarkProffitt | Thanks EVERYONE | 04:43 |
| Random1 | can u believe that? no eta and didn't even know! asleep on the job i say! | 04:43 |
| MarkProffitt | Oh crap, now I'm getting Errno 5 | 04:43 |
| PatrickDickey | Random1 the repo sites might not have issues. That would explain why they haven't heard anything. | 04:47 |
| Artemis3 | Random1, have you tried turning it off and on again? :3 | 04:49 |
| Artemis3 | Random1, oh wait, lets open this ticket here, yup, its open, relax :3 | 04:50 |

| CountryfiedLinux | good morning | 05:00 |
| ehsral | Hi. I have just installed ubuntu 14.04, and are getting errors when updating apt. It is extras.ubuntu.com that is failing, and it seems to be down. Is there some server maintenance I'm not aware of? | 05:01 |
| ImpatientJerk | ehsral: seems to be down. I'm here for the same reason. | 05:02 |
| ImpatientJerk | ubuntu.com and many of its subdomains are timing out for me. | 05:02 |
| ImpatientJerk | downforeveryoneorjustme.com seems to agree. | 05:02 |
| avryn | launchpad is down | 05:02 |
| genii | !lpstatus | 05:03 |
| ubottu | If PPAs or other Launchpad services seem unavailable, please check https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus to see if there is a current issue which is already known | 05:03 |
| avryn | due to a datacenter issue... and it appears most of the ubuntu sites are dead along with it | 05:03 |
| ImpatientJerk | What a night to decide to reimage. | 05:03 |
| Bashing-om | From #launchpad: "LAUNCHPAD IS DOWN due to an upstream network failure -- no ETA" . | 05:03 |
| avryn | hahaha | 05:03 |
| avryn | i feel you impatientjerk - just did a fresh install of mint 17 tonight myself... got about half my updates / installs done and then bam | 05:04 |
| genii | At this time, best to just keep occasionally checking the twitter feed the bot has in the above factoid, to see if the Launchpad issue is resolved. | 05:04 |
| ehsral | ImpatientJerk: Ok, so it's not just me then. It's just the world of ubuntu that has gone to hell. Oh well, I guess I'll go cut the grass or something... | 05:04 |
| ImpatientJerk | avryn: I dared to connect an external monitor to a Fedora install and it stopped working with the laptop's screen itself. Straw. Camel's back. | 05:04 |
| avryn | ImpatientJerk: hahaha. ouch | 05:05 |
| ImpatientJerk | Back to Ubuntu (Gnome) we go. | 05:05 |
| avryn | ImpatientJerk: how long has it been since you had ubuntu? | 05:05 |
| wheatthin | :) <-- loves ubuntu gnome | 05:05 |
| ImpatientJerk | avryn: since Shuttleworth did...things. | 05:05 |
| wheatthin | besides the sound some times seeming like my speakers are under water | 05:06 |
| ImpatientJerk | And then defended those things. | 05:06 |
| avryn | ImpatientJerk: I absolutely cannot stand unity... i either add mate to ubuntu or run linux mint these days | 05:06 |
| wheatthin | avryn, gnome 3 shell for the win :P | 05:06 |
| aalp4 | SAME iMPATIENTjERK | 05:06 |
| aalp4 | whoops caps lock | 05:06 |
| ImpatientJerk | Maybe I'll give Manjaro a try. Hah. | 05:06 |
| avryn | wheatthin for me its umm... ubuntu+mate+compiz+emerald... im stuck in my old gnome2 ways | 05:06 |
| wheatthin | eww.. compiz lags this old video card ati 5450 | 05:07 |
| aalp4 | i use gnome-fallback when using ubuntu, glitchy but works better for me | 05:07 |
| avryn | haha | 05:07 |
| avryn | im running on an ATI HD7970... so i can handle it :) | 05:07 |
| wheatthin | but gnome shell.. w0rks like a charm | 05:08 |
| avryn | err | 05:08 |
| avryn | AMD.. | 05:08 |
| avryn | i still want to call them ATI | 05:08 |
| wheatthin | they are ati :) | 05:08 |
| avryn | haha | 05:08 |
| ImpatientJerk | I enjoy Gnome 3 as a product. Not a big fan of the developers' one-true-way attitude. Shades of Apple. | 05:08 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Didn't AMD become ATI? | 05:08 |
| avryn | Gnome3 is just... meh | 05:08 |
| avryn | yes CountryfiedLinux | 05:08 |
| wheatthin | it's fast fast without having to fall back to xfce4 | 05:09 |
| avryn | err wait | 05:09 |
| avryn | amd bought ati | 05:09 |
| avryn | i think? | 05:09 |
| avryn | so other way around? | 05:09 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Gnome 3 is nice IMO because it's a simplified UI that stays out of the way and leaves a lot of room for customized extensions. | 05:09 |
| genii | avryn: Yes, AMD bought ATI | 05:09 |
| ImpatientJerk | avryn: if you're willing to learn Metacity's XML format, Gnome Shell's CSS, a whole shitton of JavaScript, and so on, and so forth...it becomes something pretty unique. | 05:09 |
| wheatthin | yup | 05:09 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I prefer Unity atm thought. And it's pretty fast now too. | 05:09 |
| ImpatientJerk | But, for the average dude? Nah. Such a pain in the ass. | 05:09 |
| wheatthin | ahh ImpatientJerk plz watch the language :).. family oriented stuff here | 05:09 |
| ImpatientJerk | Oh! | 05:09 |
| ImpatientJerk | Sorry, every channel on freenode is different. | 05:10 |
| wheatthin | it's all good | 05:10 |
| avryn | I was so happy to see MATE show up after ubuntu ditched gnome2... i just couldnt manage to beat gnome3/unity into submission | 05:10 |
| ryaxnb9 | why is the ubuntu site down | 05:10 |
| avryn | datacenter issues ryaxnb9 | 05:11 |
| avryn | no eta yet | 05:11 |
| ryaxnb9 | mmm tasty | 05:11 |
| avryn | launchpad as a whole is down | 05:11 |
| wheatthin | hmm ouch | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !lpstatus | 05:11 |
| ubottu | If PPAs or other Launchpad services seem unavailable, please check https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus to see if there is a current issue which is already known | 05:11 |
| PatrickDickey | Does ubuntu in general have a twitter account for status? | 05:12 |
| avryn | see... you need that bot to ACTUALLY grab and post the latest twitter post.. that would be nice. lol | 05:12 |
| wheatthin | bah, I don'thave twitter | 05:12 |
| wheatthin | lol | 05:12 |
| genii | wheatthin: The link is a regular webpage | 05:12 |
| ryaxnb9 | currently trying to install dolphin's memory manager | 05:12 |
| wheatthin | avryn, it wouldn't be to hard to parse an outtage update via message in irc | 05:12 |
| ryaxnb9 | hopefully wine will work well enough to load that portion of Dolphin | 05:13 |
| wheatthin | ehh, I clicked it and required that I was logged into twitter | 05:13 |
| ImpatientJerk | Weird. Well, yeah, it's non-information anyway. | 05:13 |
| avryn | hahah | 05:13 |
| ImpatientJerk | Akin to "stuff's broked". | 05:13 |
| avryn | i like that guys quit message "My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep." | 05:14 |
| wheatthin | lol | 05:14 |
| wheatthin | in the ubuntu channel.. well I guess that's not too strange.. I used to chill here all the time in snow leopard | 05:14 |
| * PatrickDickey is chilling in Windows 8.. | 05:15 | |
| avryn | see... whever i get my hands on a mac... it suddenly ends up triple booting windows-linux-osx | 05:15 |
| avryn | and then the mac lover who ordered it gets all grumpy | 05:15 |
| genii | ImpatientJerk: It should at least be updated when the problem is over, so that may be helpful to some. | 05:16 |

| avryn | yep | 05:24 |
| * PatrickDickey wonders what time it is now in UTC | 05:24 | |
| Guest88810 | why might my friend be getting errors liek this ""(E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)"" | 05:24 |
| === Guest88810 is now known as odium | ||
| CountryfiedLinux | You can't install packages form the AUR so Ubuntu is very dependent on PPAs. | 05:24 |
| CountryfiedLinux | odium, READ. THE. TOPIC... | 05:24 |
| ImpatientJerk | Eh heh. | 05:25 |
| PatrickDickey | odium have them try sudo dpkg --configure -a or sudo apt-get -f install | 05:25 |
| odium | ok, I trust that judgement. | 05:25 |
| tomengland | i thouht my network card was messing up, I was installing it today on my laptop and the online components were really slow | 05:25 |
| tomengland | i'm guessing it went totally down | 05:25 |
| PatrickDickey | CountryfiedLinux according to the launchpad site, the ppa repositories are ok. | 05:26 |
| PatrickDickey | launchpad channel, I mean, | 05:26 |
| odium | also thank you. | 05:27 |
| PatrickDickey | is there any way of changing the display settings for the nouveau driver? I know the card is capable of running at higher resolutions, but it only shows 640x420 in Display Settings (xubuntu/mythbuntu 14.04). The card is a GT 610. | 05:28 |
| PatrickDickey | And when I use the proprietary drivers, the entire computer locks up randomly (I have to hard reset it to reboot). | 05:29 |
| ImpatientJerk | PatrickDickey: I know it involves some Xorg conf files, but I lack the knowledge needed to help you. | 05:32 |
| avryn | ahhhh the joys of nvidia in ubuntu | 05:32 |
| ImpatientJerk | Whenever I run into something like that, I sort out the problem, fail to take notes, and summarily forget everything. | 05:32 |
| avryn | before i hopped to amd i was always in the habbit of nuking nouveau and installing the nvidia drivers | 05:32 |
| avryn | and same impatientjerk | 05:32 |
| avryn | dont you hate that? | 05:32 |
| ImpatientJerk | Every time I reinstall on this Yoga 2, I have to manually add 3200 x 1800. : P | 05:33 |
| avryn | hah | 05:33 |
| avryn | thats a fun problem to have at least | 05:33 |
| avryn | so if im doing my time conversions right... the launchpad eta is still 3 hours away? ouch. | 05:34 |
| PatrickDickey | Well I'm going to try something. I had it hooked up with VGA, so I'm trying it with a DVI to HDMI cable. | 05:35 |
| avryn | yeah... always worth a shot | 05:35 |
| PatrickDickey | I've been trying to fix so many stupid little issues, that I forgot what all I've done. LOL | 05:36 |
| PatrickDickey | And that's much better. It looks like it's at the right resolution now. | 05:36 |
| avryn | i've started keeping my laptop handy and onenote open whenver i do reinstalls... to at least try and get some of the stupid little quirks documented | 05:37 |
| avryn | even then... i usually manage to miss the important stuff | 05:37 |
| PatrickDickey | Well I was suffering through a nasty hissing sound with this card. I solved that by putting a sound card in. If I use the nvidia drivers, the computer locks up completely. So, I have to use nouveau. Hopefully it'll work with Netflix (which is why I got a new card anyhow). | 05:39 |
| PatrickDickey | Now I just have to figure out why mythtv won't eject my DVD's. LOL They play without a problem, but I get No Devices to Eject when I try. | 05:40 |
| Beldar | Might I remind you all this is support | 05:40 |
| Beldar | there is a chat channel | 05:41 |
| PatrickDickey | Wouldn't this be considered support? Someone may know how to fix the eject issue. And the questions about the graphics card definitely fall under that category. | 05:41 |
| Beldar | if you want help with that fine, it's the other stuff here is just chat | 05:42 |
| Beldar | no biggie it is just this is support specific issues needing fixing | 05:43 |
| avryn | beldar mybad! new here... whats the chat channel? | 05:43 |

| rev | sveta, treble is high frequency...but my sound is all coming through the LFE or subwoofer it seems | 06:48 |
| rev | it should be split through surround channels and mixed to come out of the proper channels though | 06:48 |

| Random1 | rev OR I could hold onto it and i could go below $1 eventually lol | 06:55 |

| Random1 | rev i can fix it | 06:56 |
| Random1 | because i had similar issue b4 | 06:56 |
| Random1 | Beldar whats that? | 06:56 |
| rev | Random1, if its that easy, you would take the quick money rather than get none | 06:56 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi | 07:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | is ipv6 now a days enabled by default on ubuntu ? | 07:05 |
| aalp4 | it is for me on 14.04 | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | it sometimes happens that i try to install or upgrade something using apt-get and it just fails in the first step when trying to use an ipv6 address, and on the next attempt it works fine when using ipv4 address | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | so isnt it a good idea to disable ipv6 ? | 07:06 |
| sl33k_ | Why is my swap 0? -/+ buffers/cache: 1024 1970 | 07:06 |
| sl33k_ | Swap: 0 0 0 | 07:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | sl33k_: your system does not need swap space yet | 07:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | the ram is sufficient | 07:06 |
| sl33k_ | silv3r_m00n: I heard swap speeds up the system and reduces freezes. true? | 07:07 |
| aalp4 | only when you run out of ram | 07:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | sl33k_: swap is needed if your system has less ram | 07:08 |
| Beldar | silv3r_m00n, You can disable I use the /etc/default/grub method shown here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/346126/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-ubuntu | 07:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | Beldar: thanks, what i understand is that if the isp does not have ipv6 support, then having it enabled causes problems on the system | 07:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | like slow or failed dns lookups | 07:11 |
| Beldar | silv3r_m00n, never experienced any of what you describe but turn it off, not sure why to be honest. | 07:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm okay | 07:13 |
| Beldar | silv3r_m00n, It is easy to apply confirmation bias to issue. | 07:15 |

| aalp4 | sorry read your question wrong newbuntu, does xrandr show an option for 60? | 07:27 |

| Ben64 | newbuntu: why are you using those options on xrandr? try xrandr by itself | 07:40 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> i also dont know since I can't get it right , I tried every thing , cod and script and etc. End up still 50hz. I am using the restricted nvidia 331 driver right now | 07:40 |
| Ben64 | newbuntu: you didn't answer the question at all. | 07:41 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , oh , how do I tried ? | 07:41 |

| newbuntu | Ben64 , I follow this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2142781 | 07:42 |
| Ben64 | newbuntu: well try xrandr by itself, or just use nvidia-settings | 07:43 |
| newbuntu | Ben64 nvidia-settings doesn't work | 07:44 |
| Ben64 | define "doesn't work" | 07:44 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , at the x server display , changing it to 1600x900 and other resolution , all shows or looks 50hz. Only 1920x1080 works 60hz | 07:45 |
| newbuntu | Ben64 , I forgot to mention "23 inch monitor" with 12.04 ubuntu 64bit + gtx 550 | 07:48 |
| Ben64 | you should be using nvidia-settings to change settings on nvidia | 07:48 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , there is no option to set the refresh rate , only resolution setting | 07:49 |
| Ben64 | there is both | 07:49 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , there is no option to set the refresh rate and 1600x900 | 07:51 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , monitor doesn't support 1600x900 | 07:51 |
| Ben64 | if the monitor doesn't support it... then you can't do it | 07:52 |
| newbuntu | <Ben64> , I tried with 10.10 and did it on an amd old graphic card. | 07:53 |
| newbuntu | now it's nvidia | 07:53 |
| Ben64 | i'm not sure what the problem here it | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | here is* | 07:54 |
| newbuntu | Ben64 , in a same monitor , I can set a custom resolution with fix 60hz in a old pc cpu and gpu and even a old 10.10 ubuntu.It can confirm OS can force the monitor to display custom resolution. | 07:58 |
| newbuntu | Ben64 , but in a newer pc cpu+gpu except it's nvidia with a newer os 12.04 , I cannot set the it to get a refresh rate to 60hz but works with resolution 1600x900 | 07:59 |

| suokunlong | how can I report a bug on this? thanks | 10:05 |
| sveta | suokunlong, hi. What happens when you try to resume? | 10:05 |
| suokunlong | When I try to resume, it works ok, the laptop go to suspend. | 10:06 |
| suokunlong | the problem is, when I try to resume from suspend, the desktop did not showup | 10:06 |
| suokunlong | maoboo: my video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] (rev a1) | 10:08 |
| suokunlong | and I see someone else is also suffering the same issue with NV video card | 10:09 |
| Aiena | suokunlong which desktop environment are you using | 10:09 |
| suokunlong | I use Unity | 10:09 |
| suokunlong | the default ubuntu 14.04 desktop | 10:09 |
| Aiena | suokunlong also resume in most linux distributions is a grey area it may or may not resume if it does not resume then it is difficult to resove teh issue usually it is better not to suspend. | 10:09 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: How can I get the useful debug info and report a good bug on this? | 10:10 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: I don't know what log infomation should I check and include | 10:10 |
| Aiena | suokunlong I remember disabling suspend so that I don;t accidently suspend my system | 10:11 |
| Aiena | suokunlong normally suspend to ram works well but suspend to disk creates problems | 10:11 |
| Aiena | in most distros not only buntu | 10:11 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: My issue is suspend to RAM. | 10:12 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: This issue has been there since ubuntu 13.10 | 10:13 |
| Aiena | hmm strange | 10:13 |
| Aiena | now I don't use ubuntu as my core system anymore I use suse but I am using buntu on a VM | 10:13 |
| ikonia | the propitary video card drivers are a normal big problem in suspend to disk | 10:14 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: and in the past I tried the restricted NV driver, the suspend resuming works OK | 10:14 |
| Aiena | ikonia but this is suspend to RAM | 10:14 |
| Aiena | which should not be a problem anywhere ideally | 10:14 |
| ikonia | I suspect the same concept is true, | 10:14 |
| ikonia | as the state tracking of those modules is the issue on "wake up" | 10:15 |
| Aiena | Ok | 10:15 |
| hellyeah | hey | 10:15 |
| ikonia | (I don't know how different the issue is, but I suspect it's similar) | 10:15 |
| suokunlong | ikonia: in the past I tried the propitary nvidia304 driver, it works OK | 10:15 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: yes, but the drivers change with each release. | 10:15 |
| suokunlong | ikonia: the interesting thing is, in Fedore 20, it resumes from suspend with no problem. - the same laptop | 10:16 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: why is that interesting ? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: are they using the same components/versions of components in the OS ? | 10:17 |
| suokunlong | why it works in Fedora, but not in Ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: re-read what I said | 10:17 |
| Aiena | ikonia and yup I am using proprietary nvidia dirvers now on another distro and suspend to ram from nvidia proprietary is not an issue | 10:17 |
| Aiena | and it did work on xfce when I used buntu as core os in 12.x | 10:17 |
| Aiena | suokunlong hmm as for the fedora question | 10:18 |
| Aiena | each distro is different fedora is rpm based like suse not deb based | 10:18 |
| Aiena | and packages are maintained separately | 10:18 |
| suokunlong | ikonia: I do not know whether they use the same components/versions of components, but if it works in Fedora but do not work in ubuntu, ubuntu can check what goes wrong and fix this | 10:18 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: no, it's not that simple at all | 10:19 |
| Aiena | suokunlong currently I am setting up a buntu as a build VM | 10:19 |
| suokunlong | ikonia: OK. But what debug/log info is needed to report a good bug on this, so devs can fix this quickly? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: it's not going to be fixed quickly - may as well set that expecation now | 10:20 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: when you log a bug, it will ask for you information, if you fill in the information, it will log the bug, then poeple will come back and ask for specific information | 10:20 |
| chillibite | i'm using a usb modem that takes a normal cell phone sim card - when using it under windows i can use ssid codes to check my balance, send text messages, load data or message bundles onto the sim etc. is it possible to do that when using ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| suokunlong | should I file a bug in the bug tracker directly, of using the terminal in my PC? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | suokunlong: whatever you feel is the best way to get a clean bug report | 10:22 |
| suokunlong | ikonia: OK, thanks, I'll try | 10:22 |
| Aiena | suokunlong but bugs of this particular nature are normally very hard to fic | 10:23 |
| Aiena | fix | 10:23 |
| chillibite_ | ussd codes i mean, sorry | 10:23 |
| Aiena | another thing to note is fedora is not technically a stable distro it is the bleeding edge distro for packages moved to RHEL | 10:23 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: even it is hard,we should try to fix. it affects many people, and is a big problem, and is a regression. In ubuntu 12.04 it worked ok. | 10:24 |
| === chillibite_ is now known as chillibite | ||
| Aiena | suokunlong so fedora is likely to have a much newer kernel revision etc. | 10:25 |
| Aiena | where lots of things could be fixed | 10:25 |
| Aiena | or work totally differently | 10:25 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: i dont think it's a kernel issue. this issue begin to affect me a long time ago, if a newer kernel will fix this, it should already done that | 10:26 |
| chillibite | how can i send ussd codes to my mobile carrier to do things such as check my balance, purchase data bundles etc. using a mobile usb modem that takes a cell phone sim card? | 10:27 |

| A[D]minS | is it acceptable? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: what do you mean is it acceptable ? | 10:27 |
| A[D]minS | ikonia iowait | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: boot into windows, run chkdsk against it | 10:28 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: what about it ? | 10:28 |
| A[D]minS | is it normal | 10:28 |
| Aiena | suokunlong I guess so but its not only the kernel that is different configuration packages etc are managed differently | 10:28 |

| A[D]minS | sorry for long paste | 10:28 |
| hellyeah | i want to mount it from ubuntu is it possible? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: depends on many things, | 10:28 |
| Aiena | On suse whivh is an rpm based distro there are no problems with suspend to RAM | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: you need/should chkdsk it | 10:28 |
| hellyeah | but how | 10:28 |
| ikonia | rpm / deb package formats have nothing to do with anything | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: I'd talk to the guys in ##windows and find out how to get your windows system booting properly | 10:29 |
| A[D]minS | ikonia the CPU is idle however the load average is too high 23.7 | 10:29 |
| Aiena | suokunlong I really wish there was an easy solution to this | 10:29 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: do you think it's better to start report this bug by running "$ apport-bug pm-utils"? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: ok, so what's causing the load ? | 10:29 |
| A[D]minS | ikonia I've no idea , i'm trying to discover so | 10:29 |
| q0 | why isn't it possible to both use and transmit with one wireless interface ? | 10:29 |
| A[D]minS | ikonia: we have database oracle running on the server | 10:29 |
| suokunlong | Aiena: i am not sure which package it belongs to | 10:29 |
| A[D]minS | and these are the data disks | 10:29 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: so the easy answer is going to be over commited SGA | 10:30 |
| A[D]minS | sdb1 and sdb2 | 10:30 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: what version of ubuntu is it ? | 10:30 |
| Aiena | suokunlong I'm not sure either but I think so your right | 10:30 |

| robbo5899 | Hey can anyone help me with setting up vsftpd with apache2 so I can access the /var/www/html folder from a remote computer | 10:40 |
| varunendra | q0, as far as I know, it is a hardware limitation, software can't work around it. And as far as I know, not many people know beyond this :p | 10:41 |
| ikonia | vsftpd and apache have nothing to do with each other | 10:41 |
| egsome | robbo5899, Just login using a user who has access to /var/www/html and You will be able to do so. | 10:41 |
| robbo5899 | which users have access to it by default? | 10:41 |
| zergut | is there any troubles with dual install of win 8.1 and ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | non, it's a non-privlieged account that runs apache with a non-interactive shell | 10:42 |
| egsome | robbo5899, You need to create one. Sure not to be the root. | 10:42 |
| robbo5899 | okay I'll give it a go | 10:42 |
| ubuntu-studio_ | zergut: it depends. I'm running Studio and 8.1 on an ASUS. Just be prepared for alot of headaches getting it to work. | 10:43 |
| zergut | yeah, grub just cant see win 8.1 loader | 10:43 |

| ikonia | nullspeed: I'd look at what's eating your disk | 10:46 |
| zergut | system monitor? | 10:46 |
| ikonia | nothing should be eating your disk, so if something is eating your disk, it's probably using other resrouces too | 10:46 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 10:54 |
| cristian_c | How can I check if xorg.conf is used? | 10:54 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 10:54 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: define 'used' ? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | cristian_c: if the file is there, it's used | 10:54 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, loaded | 10:55 |
| robbo5899 | ikonia http://pastebin.com/SRcDfcsq | 10:55 |
| dngds | hi | 10:55 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: as ikonia said, plus read the X log /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:55 |
| dngds | how are u | 10:55 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: right, so the files are all owned by root user and group, with read/execute acces for the world, | 10:55 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: what are you trying to do with ftp | 10:56 |
| robbo5899 | Its a server Im trying to setup for testing purposes, I just need it to transfer web pages between my pc and the server | 10:56 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: ok, so you should be able to read, but not write | 10:56 |
| ikonia | according to those permissions | 10:56 |
| robbo5899 | when i log in using filezilla all i have access to is a folder called files | 10:57 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: so it sounds like your vstfpd config has a different ftproot directory, | 10:57 |
| robbo5899 | do you know where the config is saved? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: you need to set the ftproot directory to either be / or set it to /var/www/html in which case that will be the releative path of / for /var/www/html | 10:58 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, I've open this file | 10:58 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: if you've not even read the basic introduction to vsftpd, I suggest you do that now before trying to setup an ftp server | 10:58 |
| robbo5899 | I have read it, I can't find anything called ftproot in the config file | 10:59 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: how can you not find it in the config file, when you don't know where the config file is ? | 10:59 |
| robbo5899 | I found it | 10:59 |
| robbo5899 | /var/vsftpd.conf | 11:00 |
| ikonia | no | 11:00 |
| ikonia | it shouldn't be in /var | 11:00 |
| robbo5899 | i mean /etc | 11:00 |
| ikonia | so the vsftpd documentation shows the root directory parameter as "local_root" | 11:00 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: so again if you'd read it, you'd see or know this | 11:00 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, what piece have I to check in this log? | 11:01 |
| daftykins | cristian_c: well, you want to know if the xorg.conf is being used, so if you've set something in there, check if the log shows it's being done. or you could tell us what you're actually trying to do and perhaps then we'd understand better | 11:01 |
| robbo5899 | I'm only asking for a little bit of help dude, I read the documentation to set it up and im asking you help me fix whatever is wrong here | 11:01 |
| ikonia | robbo5899: you've not read the documentation as a.) you didn't know where the config file was b.) you didn't know the root option | 11:02 |
| robbo5899 | I do know where the config file is, I didn't off the top of my head | 11:02 |
| histo | cristian_c: why are you trying to see if it's used? | 11:02 |
| cristian_c | histo, because I've created it | 11:03 |
| cristian_c | to configure | 11:03 |
| cristian_c | daftykins, I'll try to see | 11:04 |

| cristian_c | histo, I think I've not set it up well | 11:07 |
| cristian_c | the xorg.conf | 11:07 |
| histo | cristian_c: There is probably a better way to do what you are doing. Can you please describe the problem that lead you to editing your xorg.conf | 11:08 |
| cristian_c | histo, the problem is that I've inserted only InputDevice section, but not Layout section too | 11:11 |
| histo | cristian_c: Why are you even doing this? | 11:12 |
| histo | ffs | 11:12 |
| cristian_c | histo, because I don't find other way to configure it with X | 11:12 |

| daftykins | quesion: packages available, nothing to do with installed state or not | 11:56 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: what does? my computer doesn't speak to me | 11:56 |

| Armag3dd0n24 | it says open with firefox | 11:57 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | :/ | 11:57 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | gedit shows firefox stuff | 11:57 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | is it because i have firefox open? | 11:57 |
| quesion | depending on if i am using a client or connection to a server i am guessing... | 11:57 |

| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: nevermind, delete the file | 12:00 |
| quesion | what exactly is he trying to do ? | 12:00 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | http://pastebin.com/JNnxka27 | 12:00 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: paste the content of the file into gedit from your original pastebin and save it as /etc/hosts to put it back. http://pastebin.com/KkZ9Y3af | 12:00 |
| daftykins | quesion: ugh. currently undo a silly mistake, but it started as having errors running sudo | 12:01 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | it doesn't let me save | 12:01 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | you see the pastebin ^ ? | 12:01 |
| quesion | so he wants to undo his mistake? | 12:01 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: probably because gedit is running as your user, so save it to /home/username then use the terminal to move it from there to /etc/hosts | 12:01 |
| daftykins | quesion: well that's what i'm advising as step #1, to restore the hosts file | 12:01 |
| daftykins | as it was deleted | 12:01 |
| weedmic | Can one linux server mount th ext4 disc of another linux server? | 12:01 |

| Armag3dd0n24 | idk how to move it :/ | 12:02 |
| histo | Armag3dd0n24: did you see daftykins command with the raw.php that's the one you need to do | 12:03 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: ok but step by step, save it as /home/yourusername/hosts | 12:03 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | done | 12:03 |
| daftykins | histo: i've given up on that one now as it's just too painful | 12:03 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: so, still got your terminal as root@ ? | 12:03 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | yeah | 12:03 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: "rm /etc/hosts" *then* "cp /home/username/hosts /etc/hosts" | 12:04 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | 1sec | 12:04 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: now pastebin "ls -al /etc/" | 12:05 |
| weedmic | I'm doing a mount command and it gives an error | 12:05 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | nope it doesn't work | 12:05 |
| daftykins | weedmic: use paste.ubuntu.com to share what you're running, or paste it here if it's one line | 12:05 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: a bit more detail please? | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | no such file or directory | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | i pasted cp /home/desktop3gb/hosts /etc/hosts | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | no such file | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | :;/ | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | :/ | 12:06 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: desktop3gb isn't your username, i thought it was 'desktop' | 12:06 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | device name desktop3gb | 12:07 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: that's the hostname, not your username | 12:07 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | oh lmfao | 12:07 |

| chillibite | how can i send ussd codes to my mobile carrier to do things such as check my balance, purchase data bundles etc. using a mobile usb modem that takes a cell phone sim card? | 12:08 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | thank you so much! done! :) :) :) :) | 12:08 |
| weedmic | I can vnc to the machine and browse with a filemanager to that location, but I cannot do the mount command | 12:09 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: no there's still permissions to be changed | 12:09 |
| daftykins | weedmic: you can't mount an ext4 file system over the network, you need it to be shared with samba | 12:09 |
| * zombu2 scratches his had...... | 12:09 | |
| zombu2 | head | 12:10 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | daftykins, it just shows a lot of root commands :/ | 12:10 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: now pastebin "ls -al /etc/" | 12:10 |
| weedmic | evenif all the machines are linux, I must use samba? | 12:10 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: please follow instructions accurately and promptly | 12:10 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | http://pastebin.com/xgseS9p4 | 12:11 |
| weedmic | so I changed the ext4 with cifs now I get "mount error(115): Operation now in progress" | 12:11 |
| Ben64 | weedmic: you need to share it somehow | 12:11 |
| Ben64 | weedmic: samba, nfs, sshfs, something else perhaps | 12:12 |
| weedmic | I have enabled vnc - o I can nfs | 12:12 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: "cat /etc/hosts" to confirm it's got the content as it was | 12:12 |
| weedmic | trying | 12:12 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | yeah it says 127.0.0.1 desktop3gb | 12:12 |
| daftykins | it needs a lot more than that | 12:12 |
| daftykins | did you only put that one line in? | 12:12 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | that's all it says and yeah | 12:13 |
| daftykins | uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh | 12:13 |
| zombu2 | lol | 12:13 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | ? | 12:13 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | my bad? :S | 12:13 |
| Ben64 | Armag3dd0n24: you need to have 127.0.0.1 as localhost, 127.0.1.1 as whatever your hostname is, and that should be it | 12:13 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | oh fml | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | chillibite ask your carrier | 12:13 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | me give up lol thanks for your help though. | 12:14 |
| chillibite | cfhowlett: i know the codes and how to send them via a phone or using my usb modem under windows, i'm looking for an interface for gsm modems for ubuntu | 12:14 |
| Ben64 | Armag3dd0n24: you just need two lines, why give up? | 12:14 |
| histo | !flash > denem | 12:15 |
| ubottu | denem, please see my private message | 12:15 |
| chillibite | cfhowlett: so far under ubuntu i can just get it to work as a modem but can't check my balance etc | 12:15 |
| zombu2 | and that is all you will get | 12:15 |
| zombu2 | as i remember those send codes get a txt message in return | 12:16 |
| zombu2 | you could try AT commands to send it | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | !who | 12:16 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:16 |
| * zombu2 hears crickets | 12:20 | |
| daftykins | cfhowlett: i wish you would stop using bot triggers when they're not relevant... don't you have anything better to do? | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | daftykins sadly, my participation in this channel is not dictated by your personal preferences, but I will certainly give your unsolicited opinion the full measure of attention it deserves. | 12:21 |
| zombu2 | ^^^^ chatnazi | 12:22 |
| daftykins | translation, you'll carry on bot spamming and not actually helping. roger that. | 12:22 |
| zombu2 | he just wants to show you he knows his bot commands | 12:23 |
| daftykins | ;) | 12:23 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | ben64: it's hard :/ | 12:23 |
| zombu2 | and he can use em while opening a hotpocket box | 12:23 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | daftykins, what do i do to add these 2 more lines? | 12:23 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: well, first off, what's in "/etc/hosts~" ? | 12:24 |
| daftykins | also i'm clearly a masochist for carrying on right now. | 12:24 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | 127.0.0.1 desktop3gb | 12:24 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | that;s it. | 12:25 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: hosts~ yes, not "hosts" | 12:25 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | what? | 12:25 |
| daftykins | it's a different file | 12:25 |
| daftykins | it has another character on the end of it, ~ or tilde | 12:25 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | not there :/ | 12:25 |
| zombu2 | what is he trying to acomplish daftkins? | 12:25 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | i don't have that file daftykins | 12:26 |
| daftykins | hang on | 12:26 |
| weedmic | ok, nfs server has been enabled and nfs client on the recipient. | 12:26 |
| daftykins | zombu2: my existence here is not to repeat everyone's problems | 12:26 |
| zombu2 | well have another hotpocket then | 12:27 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: are you looking graphically or with the terminal? | 12:27 |
| weedmic | work, tyvm - it now mounts fine | 12:27 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | 127.0.0.1 desktop3gb | 12:28 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 12:28 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | 127.0.0.1 local | 12:28 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | that's all i nbeed? | 12:28 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | need? | 12:28 |
| daftykins | Armag3dd0n24: where did that come from? | 12:28 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | is that all i neeD? | 12:28 |
| ssddkkaall | all you need is love | 12:28 |
| daftykins | i'm sorry i'm done, you're unable to follow the flow of conversation, follow simple tasks or answer questions | 12:29 |
| daftykins | laters | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | Armag3dd0n24: i'll make it easy for you, type this.... "wget www.ben64.com/Armag3dd0n24 -O /etc/hosts" | 12:29 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | daftykins, im redoing what you said up there $ | 12:29 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | ^ | 12:29 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | Ben64, what the? | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | type that, be done | 12:29 |
| zombu2 | tadaa | 12:29 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't be so sure :( | 12:29 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | Ben64, done. now what do i do? | 12:30 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | :p | 12:30 |
| zombu2 | that does not look right why is there one that says 127.0.1.1 | 12:30 |
| Ben64 | its for the hostname | 12:31 |
| daftykins | zombu2: you're not familiar with ubuntu if you aren't familiar with that | 12:31 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | brb | 12:31 |
| zombu2 | daftykins right that must be it | 12:31 |
| zombu2 | last i remember on most nixes the second line is omitted so 127.0.0.1 localhost myhostname should do the trick | 12:33 |
| Ben64 | the second line is never omitted | 12:33 |
| Armag3dd0n24 | thank you so much Ben64 and daftykins :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D | 12:34 |
| zombu2 | Ben64 learned something new today | 12:34 |
| hellyeah | hey | 12:41 |
| hellyeah | question | 12:41 |
| hellyeah | is there a usb installer software for making windows8 bootable? | 12:41 |
| Ben64 | hellyeah: ask in ##windows for that | 12:42 |
| varunendra | hellyeah, try YUMI | 12:42 |
| hellyeah | bean: in ubuntu? btw | 12:43 |
| hellyeah | i am searching software in ubuntu. | 12:44 |
| varunendra | hellyeah, YUMI has an experimental version for Linux/Ubuntu, but I'm not sure if it supports Windows 8 installation yet. | 12:44 |
| Ben64 | hellyeah: this is a windows support question, please take it to ##windows | 12:45 |
| hellyeah | i can understand but i need to know is there usb installer in ubuntu for windows 8 | 12:45 |
| zombu2 | actually not really since he is asking for a sw to do it in ubuntu | 12:45 |
| Ben64 | it really is a windows question though | 12:46 |
| zombu2 | the question is valid | 12:46 |
| zombu2 | he is asking not for windows support | 12:46 |
| zombu2 | he is asking for a sw in ubuntu to make it bootable | 12:46 |
| Ben64 | asking how to boot windows 8 from usb IS a windows support question. saying he uses ubuntu doesn't change that | 12:47 |
| zombu2 | that is not win related since i doubt that anyone in #windows would know if ubuntu has a sw | 12:47 |
| histo | hellyeah: ask you windows questions in ##windows | 12:48 |
| zombu2 | lol astounding | 12:48 |
| histo | hellyeah: you can mount the iso and copy the windows files to a fat32 thumbdrive | 12:48 |
| Ben64 | you need to understand that this is an ubuntu support channel, for ubuntu issues. it does not encompass anything you can possibly do while using ubuntu | 12:48 |
| pooltable | help getting flash player to work in opera thanks ? | 12:49 |
| zombu2 | wow | 12:49 |
| histo | !flash | pooltable | 12:49 |
| ubottu | pooltable: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:49 |
| hellyeah | oh man this is not a windows question | 12:49 |
| hellyeah | i just ask is there a usb installer in ubuntu that i can prepare windows 8 bootable | 12:50 |
| Ben64 | how about you ask in ##windows anyway? you know who knows a lot about windows 8? the people in ##windows. | 12:50 |
| histo | hellyeah: Mount the windows iso... format a thumbdrive to fat32... copy the files to the thumb drive and boot | 12:50 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah asked and answered repeatedly | 12:50 |
| zombu2 | get help here for ubuntu but don t ask us about sw in ubuntu since that is not a valid question | 12:50 |
| hellyeah | histo: ok | 12:50 |
| hellyeah | thanks | 12:50 |
| hellyeah | hmm zamba clear enough thanks for better explanation | 12:50 |
| histo | hellyeah: or you could just use ntfsfix like I suggested hours ago | 12:51 |
| hellyeah | i used ntfsfix | 12:51 |
| zombu2 | hellyeah that was not an explanation | 12:51 |
| * varunendra ducks and hides.. valid question, valid objection, wut to do wut to do... :/ | 12:52 | |
| zombu2 | haha | 12:53 |
| hellyeah | histo: i tried ntfsfix it fixed the error i got | 12:53 |
| zombu2 | hellyeah i was beeing sarkastic about the answers you recieved | 12:53 |
| hellyeah | what answer? | 12:54 |
| zombu2 | to go to #windows | 12:54 |
| Ben64 | because all his problems are windows problems, it'd make a lot more sense to ask there | 12:54 |
| zombu2 | how would they know if ubuntu has sw to acomplish that | 12:54 |
| zombu2 | makes no sense | 12:54 |
| Ben64 | they'd say how to fix it the right way | 12:55 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu is not good for ntfs | 12:55 |
| zombu2 | that was not the question heh | 12:55 |
| Ben64 | it was | 12:55 |
| hellyeah | ntfsfix fixed the error i got and now i can mount ntfs from ubuntu | 12:55 |
| zombu2 | he asked for sw in ubuntu to acomplish a bootable flash | 12:55 |
| hellyeah | zombu2: thats right | 12:56 |
| Ben64 | hellyeah: so then boot into windows and make a usb for windows 8? | 12:56 |
| hellyeah | Ben64: problem is no way to boot windows it is broken somehow | 12:56 |
| zombu2 | that ll work | 12:56 |
| evilpie_ | hey, I have a problem with Synaptic. When I right click on a package "Properties" is greyed out. | 12:56 |
| Ben64 | hellyeah: then guess what, ask in ##windows !! | 12:56 |
| zombu2 | ^^ | 12:56 |
| hellyeah | evilpie_: sometimes it happened | 12:56 |
| hellyeah | Ben64: i still dont understand why you didnt understand me | 12:57 |
| evilpie_ | hellyeah: please? | 12:57 |
| Ben64 | i understand perfectly. you have a lot of windows problems but refuse to use the proper channels for support | 12:57 |
| hellyeah | Ben64: my only question is there a usb installer for making bootable windows 8 from usb? | 12:57 |
| hellyeah | :D | 12:57 |
| Ben64 | no, go to ##windows and ask them | 12:57 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah let's say "no". | 12:57 |
| hellyeah | for ubuntu software :D | 12:57 |
| hellyeah | muaha | 12:57 |
| Ben64 | nope, there isn't. ask ##windows | 12:57 |
| hellyeah | okey i am sorry | 12:58 |
| ghostlines | hi, I'm running an ubuntu droplet at digitalocean and I just upgraded my kernel but when I reboot it didn't select the latest kernel(like how it should). Anyone run into this? | 12:58 |

| silv3r_m00n | I always create a 2GB swap partition | 13:12 |
| _Trullo | if you have a ssd disk, don't do swap | 13:12 |
| pooltable | how to use a flash player in opera like gnash or lightspark? | 13:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | _Trullo: thats what i was about to ask, i am planning to buy a 128gb ssd and make it primary, and put the 500gb hdd as secondary for backup, so why shouldnt swap be used with ssd ? | 13:13 |
| silv3r_m00n | _Trullo: if ram falls short, what would the system do ? | 13:13 |
| compdoc | silv3r_m00n, if the ppl producing ubuntu and linux think its a good idea to have swap, then just go with it. use swap | 13:14 |
| compdoc | its not a good idea to listen to someone who thinks they know better than the system engineers | 13:15 |

| hellyeah | let me ask a question | 13:23 |
| hellyeah | why did you constantly say "go to windows channel" are you op or something Ben64 | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah your original question was asked and answered. no need to rehash. answer is the same. | 13:25 |
| hellyeah | but this was not windows question i have to defend myself | 13:26 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah "defend" yourself? seriously? | 13:26 |
| hellyeah | nevermind | 13:27 |
| hellyeah | life sucks | 13:27 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: are you still asking about this disk that needs chkdsk running on it ? | 13:27 |
| erle- | what text-to-speech-solution is easiest in ubuntu 14.04? | 13:28 |
| erle- | like for reading newspaper articles | 13:28 |
| hellyeah | ikonia: no | 13:28 |
| ikonia | ooh, good, so you got that fixed and the disk mounted then | 13:28 |
| cfhowlett | erle- there are accessibility options for that built in. | 13:28 |
| ikonia | I thought you where still asking about trying to mount that disk | 13:28 |
| erle- | cfhowlett, how do i configure them? | 13:28 |
| cfhowlett | erle- 14.04? | 13:29 |
| hellyeah | ntfsfix fixed my partition i didnt get unsafe mode error | 13:29 |
| erle- | cfhowlett, orca seems to be unconfigurable and just shout around unimporant stuff | 13:29 |
| erle- | cfhowlett, yes | 13:29 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: I warned you against using that, but as long as you are happy the data is "ok", that's great | 13:29 |
| hellyeah | now i wonder is there a software for detect hardware failure? | 13:29 |
| hellyeah | ikonia: yes | 13:29 |
| cfhowlett | erle- I was about to suggest orca, but as that doesn't seem to be your happy place, I can't say. ask again in the channel. someone else will know. | 13:30 |
| erle- | cfhowlett, on the web i see that there i a configuration menu for orca | 13:30 |
| erle- | cfhowlett, but i cannot find it | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | erle- I'm still on 12.04 and on xubuntu. Best that someone else with actual experience help you. | 13:31 |
| Orazio | heeey | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | Orazio ask your ubuntu questions | 13:32 |
| hellyeah | Ben64: this was what i asked here http://askubuntu.com/questions/289559/how-can-i-create-a-windows-bootable-usb-stick-with-ubuntu | 13:36 |
| hellyeah | but doesnt work :/ | 13:37 |
| DrGrov | Ben64, Hello. And thanks for the help earlier with the resolution issues. | 13:38 |
| OerHeks | hellyeah, ofcourse it does not work, else we said so. maybe the dd method works, no guarantees | 13:38 |
| hellyeah | i guess ubuntu has a problem with nvidia graphic card | 13:39 |
| ikonia | nope | 13:39 |
| ikonia | should work at some level at least with eveyr nvidia card | 13:40 |
| DrGrov | hellyeah: ikonia Yes it should. I had to get 1920x1080 with a custom EDID. I can recommend a place to get a static tool than strips the wrong EDID if interested and if it is for any use? | 13:41 |
| DrGrov | Unfortunately I lost audio through HDMI but the TV has a headphone jack so I get it through there | 13:41 |
| ikonia | EDID is only used for detection, you can override it just fine with xorg.conf, which you normally use for nvidia anyway | 13:41 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Yes. Unfortunately I had to strip the EDID since it was corrupt and I did not even though by having modelines and metamodes get it right. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | that's a very rare sitution | 13:42 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: It is but this is the second time I had to do it. Did it with my old tv, a LG 42LH3000 and now this Grundig 46" LED. | 13:42 |
| karab44 | I have a question related to repositories because I don't know how politics works inside ubuntu. I want to install kdenlive for nonlinear video editing and in Software Center it's like 0.9.6 and on official project site is like 0.9.8. If I download it from SC is there a chance that some day it will upgrade to 0.9.8. What does it depend? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | karab44: it would be unlikley | 13:43 |
| ikonia | karab44: the repos normally pick a version and stick with that "base" version for the duration of the release. | 13:43 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: But now I did so that I backed up the xorg.conf which is working and also backed up the tool so I can strip EDID if needed for next time I change TV or something that someone else needs help with. | 13:43 |
| karab44 | ok so updating software is on my own? | 13:43 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: It was a terribly easy thing to do once I figured it out. If the TV has a 100Hz refresh rate, can I push that through xorg.conf as well with a modeline or is there any danger in that? | 13:44 |
| hellyeah | ikonia: i dunno wth is that http://i.imgur.com/lVHi6Jj.png | 13:44 |
| ikonia | karab44: depends, if there is a serious bug that can't be back ported, or security issue, it can sometimes get a version bump | 13:44 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: why are you telling me this ? I can manage my monitor just fine | 13:44 |
| karab44 | OK thank you. That's what I wanted to know :) | 13:44 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Sorry, just thought when you took up on the initial writing I did. | 13:45 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: looks like it's just the transparancy layer having a bug | 13:45 |
| dine909 | is there a setting for xconfig that i can set to disable monitor sleep? | 13:46 |
| dine909 | ever since creating an xconfig (via nvidia tools) its started sleeping if the mouse or kb is left for 10 min, ignoring the settings panel settings | 13:46 |
| DrGrov | Could someone assist me in migrating my old /home which is located on a 1TB drive with my new /home which is on a 120GB SSD with the OS itself? I am lost in the process somehow and not able to pick up from where I should start. | 13:48 |
| DrGrov | Running Xubuntu 14.04 | 13:48 |
| dine909 | DrGrov rsync should help | 13:48 |
| dine909 | not to be confused with arseink | 13:49 |
| DrGrov | But the problem is that I am completely lost in the process where it is located and have not used fstab at all before except with some help from here the last time when I did 12.04 to 13.10. | 13:50 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: areyou just trying to migrate the data, or use the old partition ? | 13:50 |
| skinux | How can I decrypt home directory of an old installation while using new installation? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | skinux: do you still have the key ? | 13:52 |
| skinux | I'm not sure... | 13:52 |
| skinux | Probably | 13:52 |
| ikonia | skinux: you need to be sure | 13:52 |
| skinux | Assuming that I do, how would I do it? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | skinux: find out if you do | 13:54 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: It is pointing to /home/media/username/Home/username now and I would want to migrate my current /home/username to that since I have all the stuff there. | 13:54 |
| skinux | It should be the same key I used for new installation. | 13:54 |
| hellyeah | ikonia: did you check the url i shared earlier | 13:54 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: mkdir /mnt/oldhome | 13:54 |
| skinux | So, how would I do it? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: then mount the old one on /mnt/oldhome | 13:55 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I should do this right now yes? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: then just cp -Rp /mnt/oldhome/username /home/users | 13:55 |
| ikonia | skinux: it's not the same as the new key | 13:55 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: or rsync it | 13:55 |
| ikonia | skinux: it has to be the old key you initially encypted it with | 13:55 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: just looks like a transparency bug | 13:55 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Which is the better way to do it? Can I easily do it with those terminal commands and do I have to do anything in fstab? | 13:55 |
| hellyeah | ikonia: this is one of screenshot i got some weirds thing | 13:56 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: once the sync is completed, unmount the home directories, update /etc/fstab to point /home at the new device, reboot and you're done | 13:56 |
| ikonia | hellyeah: you've just posted the screen shot, and I've said it looks like a transparacncy bug | 13:56 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: rsync is probably more useful | 13:57 |
| zamerick | Morning everyone. I am having an issue adding ppas to my repos. I've tried reinstalling the ca certs already, and AFAIK there is no proxy setup on the network. At this point i'm a bit stumped. I'm running 14.04. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | zamerick: PPA's seem fine on my test machines | 13:57 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: How would I safely get it right with a backup if I need of the old home with rsync? | 13:58 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: just rsync /old/home /new/hoe | 13:58 |
| ikonia | home | 13:58 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: you can include options like rsync avp to get more details | 13:58 |
| hellyeah | winusb seems work here | 13:58 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: But not sure how to precisely do this, thus the questions :( | 13:58 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: I've just told you "rsync avp /old/home /new/home" | 13:59 |
| zamerick | I'm pretty sure its something on my end. But I'm fairly new to linux and my googlefu is not really returning any alternate methods to try. | 13:59 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: And that is enough when I point the old/home from /media/username/Home/oldusername | 14:00 |
| skinux | Okay, how about this...if I boot+login to old installation, how do I tell Ubuntu NOT to encrypt home directory anymore? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: "point the old home" ? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | skinux: you can't | 14:00 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I mean it is like this "rsync avp /media/username/Home/username /home/username"? | 14:01 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: mount the old home directory on /mnt/oldhome, then rsync it to the new location, then update fstab to point at the new /home partition, then reboot | 14:01 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Can not compute your instructions | 14:01 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: what's not clear ? | 14:02 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Everything at this point is not clear at all unfortunately. I am completely lost | 14:02 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: mount your old home partition somewhere - do you know how to do that ? | 14:02 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I have it at /media/myusername/ already | 14:03 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: ok, then rsync i from your old location, to your new one | 14:03 |
| skinux | Okay. Well, I'll just have to boot+login to old installation and move $HOME files outside of $HOME. Then it won't matter anyway. | 14:03 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: With rsync avp /media/myusername/Home/username /home/currentusername? | 14:04 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: looks ok | 14:04 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I add the old username as well in the /media/myusername/Home/oldusername? | 14:05 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: I don't know your file system - apply some though to it, sync the old data to the new location | 14:05 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Ok. Do I have to verify the file system if they both are ext4 first? | 14:05 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: file system doesn't matter | 14:06 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Ok, good. | 14:06 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Can I PM in this question so I can type out the usernames I use at the moment so it makes more sense? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | just ask in the channel | 14:06 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: So I can type my usernames here without problem? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | sure | 14:06 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: So here is my whole stuff located that I want to migrate. /media/deathstar/Home/cj/ | 14:07 |
| DrGrov | Oh, this is a problem apparently. | 14:07 |
| DrGrov | I want this 1TB where /media/deathstar/Home/cj to have my current /home/username. The SSD can not handle that amount of data. | 14:08 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: so what's the problem ? | 14:08 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: But it will make my current username /home to go to the 1TB and switch the username so I get back that /home? | 14:08 |
| ikonia | it will not change anything | 14:09 |
| ikonia | it's just syncing data | 14:09 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: So I can get this /home/username I have now to that 1TB drive with all that stuff from /media/deathstar/Home/cj? | 14:09 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I really must be dumb when not understanding this | 14:10 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp | 14:10 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: "rync will take a copy of the source directory to the target directory" | 14:10 |
| ikonia | nothing more, nothing less | 14:10 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest97231 | ||

| ikonia | it will copy all data from the source to the taget | 14:11 |
| ikonia | target | 14:12 |
| ikonia | it's a pretty basic concept, do you understand it now ? | 14:12 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Ok, good. I can do it now. | 14:12 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Yes I do understand it in theory but since it is cluttered to have both /home around it feels messy ;-) | 14:12 |
| ikonia | there is no both /home | 14:12 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Ok. let us start then if I do not need to worry. Commands please :) | 14:12 |

| DrGrov | I am just lost in this thing because I get confused from having seeing both at the same time | 14:14 |
| DrGrov | Can not explain it any better but can do it now when I know it will not do anything except sync content | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | So it is rsync avp /media/deathstar/Home/cj /home/deathstar? | 14:15 |

| mixer_ | ;) | 14:41 |
| DrGrov | And why did I not take a Velociraptor 10,000 rpm instead of this WD 7200 rpm? Argh! :( | 14:41 |
| DrGrov | But I know until next time! ;-) | 14:41 |
| hansol | hey guys | 14:42 |
| DrGrov | The problem is though... Will I even remember what I just wrote? :( | 14:42 |
| hansol | i install ACD see with wine on ubuntu but program cannot start | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett | !wine|hansol | 14:42 |
| ubottu | hansol: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 14:42 |
| bekks | DrGrov: Well, , if your source disk is a non-SSD you will not notice any improvement in reading data from that disk. | 14:42 |
| DrGrov | bekks: Yes I feel that from time to time compared to the yesterday test copy as an example. | 14:43 |
| Arkeus6 | What is the built in cli program for monitoring resource usage? | 14:43 |
| momobaxter | Arkeus6, top? | 14:43 |
| OerHeks | Arkeus6, top, or better install htop | 14:43 |
| DrGrov | bekks: But a big SSD is so pricey still so perhaps the best was that I went with a regular WD 1TB. | 14:43 |
| bekks | Arkeus6: ps | 14:43 |
| Arkeus6 | thanks | 14:43 |

| mrkake | does anyone know if ubuntu scaling/etc. is well-supporting QHD+ displays yet? I just got the samsung laptop with QHD+ and its running windows, but while I was searching online i was finding a lot of old stuff about how the scaling isn't good in ubuntu.. but those were old from 2013, didn't find anything new | 15:00 |
| DrGrov | histo: ikonia Is it safe to redo the rsync -avp after I go and delete some files? Did not have enough free space. | 15:01 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: What do you mean by QHD scaling? I have a 2560x1440 monitor connected by VGA and it doesnt scale at all - just runs at native resolution | 15:01 |
| mrkake | 3200x1800 | 15:02 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: Wow! That is high resolution. | 15:02 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: And that's on a laptop? how big is the screen? If you already have it, just burn a live CD and see how it runs | 15:03 |
| mrkake | i could do that yeah.. hmm just wanted to see if anyone knew first | 15:03 |
| mrkake | 13.5" lol | 15:03 |
| mrkake | need good eyes | 15:04 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: That really is tiny. My 2560 x 1440 is 19" and that took some getting used to as the pixels are pretty tiny | 15:05 |
| mrkake | yeah its weird because i have a 27" -x1400 on my desktop | 15:05 |
| mrkake | the laptop is like... really small haha | 15:06 |
| mrkake | but its nice | 15:06 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: Really wish I had gone for a bigger monitor. Sorry it's 27 inch and even that you need good eyes for. But the 30 inch was about double the price | 15:06 |
| mrkake | i love my desktop monitor | 15:07 |
| mrkake | dam ok i might try the live boot thing | 15:07 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: I have my big monitor connected to my laptop by VGA and it's fine. Connect by HDMI though and you are limited to 1920 x 1080 when it scales. | 15:07 |
| mrkake | kind of want to try xubuntu too | 15:07 |
| EleanorEllis | mrkake: So burn a disc for that too. It only takes a few minutes to boot into a live cd | 15:08 |

| tagliatelli | ciao ubuntu community, I'd like to decrease the size of an OS partition..can I do it with gparted? | 15:08 |
| hansol | grafic editor for ubuntu ? | 15:09 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Yes you can. You just need to boot from a live CD so none of the partitions on your hard disk are mounted | 15:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tagliatelli: Yeah, but I'd do it from a Live image to avoid screwing stuff up | 15:09 |
| mrkake | graphics editor -- gimp ? | 15:09 |
| somsip | !info gimp | hansol | 15:10 |
| ubottu | hansol: gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.10-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 3209 kB, installed size 15024 kB | 15:10 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, SonikkuAmerica, I have a 12.04. installer usb, does it suffice for it? | 15:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | If its a Live USB, yes, tagliatelli | 15:11 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: I would use a more up to date live image than 12.04 | 15:11 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Especially if what you are trying to resize is more recent. If the file system you are trying to resize is more recent than your live image you will run into problems. Probably best to download a 14.04 image and burn to disc or put on a USB stick | 15:12 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, the OS that I'd like to resize is created by the usb installer that I refer to | 15:13 |
| wiky | histo, there are some mobile APP installed by default in ubuntu14.04. How can I remove them | 15:13 |
| OerHeks | hansol, check out the ubuntustudio-photography metapackage, http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/ubuntustudio-photography | 15:13 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, does it remove the risk of having problems? | 15:14 |
| wiky | there are some mobile APP installed by default in ubuntu14.04. How can I remove them | 15:14 |
| bekks | wiky: ubuntu doesnt use "apps", it isnt a smartphone. Which applications do you talk about, in detail? | 15:14 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: If the partition you want to resize is 12.04 then using a 12.04 image to resize it is fine. You would only have problems if you were resizing something more recent | 15:15 |
| EleanorEllis | more recent than your image I mean | 15:15 |
| DrGrov | Do I have to have enough free space while I do the rsync before I move /home to the 1TB drive? ikonia histo | 15:16 |
| wiky | bekks, a browser which call ubuntu web browser, its UI really looks like a mobile app | 15:16 |
| bekks | wiky: And which browser is it? | 15:17 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, oh no, they're the same.. :) .. | 15:17 |
| tagliatelli | SonikkuAmerica, | 15:17 |
| tagliatelli | SonikkuAmerica, sorry, I mean, the installer usb is a full OS, too, I guess..so it should be fine to use it | 15:17 |
| tagliatelli | ? | 15:17 |
| wiky | bekks, ubuntu web browser | 15:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tagliatelli: yeah | 15:18 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, I haven't used gparted for this purpose before..just to make sure, I need to probably select the resize option, and enter the values..is there anything I should heed to, to avoid anything unexpected? | 15:19 |
| bekks | wiky: And what do you suspect will be the benefit of removing it? | 15:19 |
| muoni | heyyy loooo xD | 15:20 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: It's fine. I use gparted to resize partitions all the time. Nothing to it. | 15:20 |
| muoni | hey ubuntians xD | 15:20 |
| wiky | bekks, I just not want to see it, because I never use it | 15:21 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, now I know :) thank you very much for your help! | 15:21 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: But you would probably be safer backing it up first as ever when you do anything disc related. Mind you I rarely bother and I have never had a problem | 15:21 |
| tagliatelli | SonikkuAmerica, thank you very much for your help, too! | 15:21 |
| bekks | wiky: So do not start it then. | 15:21 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, thank you, I'll be careful :) | 15:21 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Copy the partition to another disc or your USB stick first if you like - that is an easy way to back it up | 15:22 |

| === Mr_Gecko is now known as Mr_Gecko_MTL | ||
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, does gparted copy only personal folders, or installed programs as well? | 15:27 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: gparted is very good. It's an all purpose partition utility. The only thing I havent managed to do with it is defrag an ntfs partition but I've stopped using my sharded NTFS partition now | 15:27 |
| === Mr_Gecko_MTL is now known as MrGeckoMTL | ||
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: No. It copies the entire partition. It doesnt see inside the partition at all so it cannot access any files. | 15:27 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, and in the case of having to use that copy, is it enough to paste it to the new location, and the OS is there with all its formerly installed programs? | 15:29 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Should do. You just might need to change how grub and fstab refer to the partition if you are unlucky. But chances are you wont need to use it anyway. | 15:30 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, I hope, too..thank you so much, I didnt know these about gparted, it is really versatile. | 15:31 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Actually, I think it shouldnt be a problem because I think when you copy a partition in gparted, it copies the uuid as well. Don't quote me on that - google it | 15:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Is there a more secure way to auto mount a drive for a specific user at logon, instead of sticking it in /etc/fstab ? | 15:32 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, I will, yet I hope all runs smoothly :) | 15:33 |

| arthurfiggis | hello :) i've been using handbrake from the 14.04 repositories...it works great (and i don't have to compile it myself any more, which is nice :) ), but it will only produce files of .mkv format, whereas the official version will produce .mp4 format files that can play on most (recent) bluray players and such...since the format is right, but the container is wrong, is there any command line... | 16:05 |
| arthurfiggis | ...or other utility that could convert the file to the proper format? | 16:05 |
| developer | hola | 16:07 |

| tagliatelli | hello back EleanorEllis, I just chose 'copy' from the gparted menu, but it doesnt ask me where to copy the partition to. | 16:16 |
| psusi | tagliatelli, you have to paste it somewhere | 16:17 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Then you select another disc and select paste | 16:17 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, ah, thanks! :)) | 16:18 |
| === symptom is now known as Guest73556 | ||
| EleanorEllis | You click on some unallocated space on a USB disc or USB stick and then paste the partition into the empty space | 16:18 |
| philinux | psusi;~ software center says handbrake only converts to mkv | 16:19 |
| arthurfiggis | psusi: i assume it has to do with some kind of licensing issue, patents or the like...but if you build handbrake from source yourself, the drop down includes mkv and mp4 | 16:19 |

| psusi | hrm.. if it were a licensing issue I would think avconv would also not be able to do it | 16:20 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, it warns me that the failure to boot is "most likely to occur if the partition contains /boot"..it also gives the link to repair boot configuration...is it complicated to repair boot in such a case? | 16:21 |
| psusi | tagliatelli, what is it that you are trying to do? | 16:21 |
| tagliatelli | psusi, resize a partition | 16:21 |
| philinux | psusi;~ from synaptic 14.04. This version of handbrake has been modified for inclusion in Debian. It does neither support audio encoding to AAC via faac nor MP4 format muxing via libmp4v2, it falls back to the MKV format instead. | 16:22 |
| psusi | tagliatelli, I thought you were trying to copy a partition? | 16:22 |

| psusi | tagliatelli, where are you going to copy it to? | 16:22 |

| whoever | Beldar: held packages ? | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | Anon31415, what filesystem is that external hdd ? if ntfs, use windows to defrag to make sure it is all in one place. | 16:35 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, I couldnt find free disk space of the same size | 16:35 |

| whoever | Beldar: how am i snippy, i was asking what there is to explain, because I don't know what there is to explain on this other then the steps i took that got me to the error that i have | 16:36 |
| EleanorEllis | tagliatelli: Anyway, I never bother. Provided any data that is precious is backed up you should be OK. Or you can just resize the partition without backing up. It's up to you. It will probably be OK. But a backup keeps you extra safe | 16:36 |
| xangua | symptom1: you did not install wicd-gtk ? | 16:36 |
| whoever | Beldar: oh, that would be because i ran the line before it the pkgs where cached already so there is noting for it to download | 16:37 |
| ouyes | my lubuntu 14.04 can't boot, the situation is when the screen will flash when the boot process reached the login screen, my VGA card is VGA advanced micro devices ati 3d rage lt pro agp 2x | 16:37 |
| Beldar | whoever, If you don't know than state that, not there is nothing that makes no sense, tell us when you do not understand. Having that many 228 held packages is bad. | 16:37 |
| ouyes | any help? | 16:37 |
| symptom1 | xangua, yes i install it. and i see there is no applet. so i tried to install all other wicd patches. and still there is no applet. i installed wicd and remove network manager. | 16:38 |
| Beldar | whoever, Is this using aptitude? | 16:38 |
| tagliatelli | EleanorEllis, exactly, no precious data is there, I might have however spared me the time to reinstall the programs (the reason why I was just asking you whether Gparted restores them)..but if it is the most that can happen, it's ok | 16:38 |
| whoever | Beldar: ok, I assumed that because I was asking a question implied that I didn't undestand | 16:39 |
| symptom1 | now i just tried to apt-get install --reinstall wicd-gtk and still there is no applet | 16:39 |
| whoever | Beldar: no apt-get | 16:39 |
| Beldar | whoever, Ah, can't read your mind, implied does not work here, this is a low context communication situation, you have to be exact, not high context, where we interpret is all. | 16:40 |
| whoever | Beldar: ok | 16:40 |
| Beldar | whoever, Any PPA's involved in the broken packages? | 16:41 |

| Beldar | whoever, So this is all printer stuff right? | 16:42 |
| whoever | Beldar: correct | 16:42 |
| Beldar | whoever, This printer stuff from a download, and not the ubuntu repos? | 16:43 |
| Beldar | E.g. a tar from epson | 16:43 |
| Beldar | or deb | 16:44 |
| whoever | Beldar: its done though repos | 16:44 |
| Beldar | whoever, can you pastebin the output of this command grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 16:45 |
| whoever | I have let ubuntu handle it, i set it up from settings> printer > add > find network printer , and select forward on the differnt screens | 16:46 |
| symptom1 | whoever, hp has hp-setup and if ur printer has same thing you should try it. | 16:47 |
| whoever | Beldar: http://pastebin.com/EyjYB6ac | 16:48 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, If you use /dev/sdXX rather that a UUID in fstab no resizing | 16:48 |
| whoever | symptom1: thx, but epson ussally has nothing like that | 16:49 |
| Beldar | whoever, this is your problem, it is 3rd part and not supported technically. /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main | 16:50 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, I couldnt understand. I can see that resizing is in progress. | 16:50 |
| witz | got some file errors indicating corruption, how to fix? ext4 | 16:51 |
| witz | pretty early during boot | 16:51 |
| whoever | Beldar: ok, so ubuntu added that, so if i comment that line , won't ubuntu go back and add that | 16:51 |
| witz | http://is.gd/05bEoK <-- dump of errors, probably corrupted meta data in ext4 | 16:51 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, Do not change as of now, fstab is what is read for booting in has a UUID that names partitions it changes when resizing at times. You can change it to the /dev/sdXX for example lets say sda=HD and partition 1= sda1 The XX is a filler so ou can insert correct notations | 16:53 |

| kat_ | Hi, guys, I was playing minecraft on another older computer, and we got a mod. When we tried to play with it, the computer popped up a message saying that our graphic card was old and we needed "OpenGl 2.0". In the game, in the video settings, I turned on the "OpenGl" setting, and it works, but it still pops up that same message even though it works. What is "OpenGl"? | 17:00 |

| arturwegrzyk | hi people | 17:02 |
| whoever | Beldar: when did the brake start, because i had an install the night before around th same time that produced th same results | 17:02 |
| Beldar | whoever, not sure the exact time, and the install would only be effected if you ticked the upgrade on install. That is just a serious mess is all. | 17:03 |
| kat_ | Oops, got off the chat server and went to the site someone gave me about "OpenGl". Somehow I wrote it down wrong or something. I couldn't get it. Please tell me again. | 17:03 |
| Beldar | whoever, The break was yesterday, pacific time, around 6pm forward | 17:05 |
| Beldar | as a guess, not exact | 17:05 |

| Beldar | whoever, May be the case, not sure the answer there, but something has made your install look like a partial upgrade has been done and added that 3rd part source to an area that ubuntu does not add to, I have the feeling something here ahs not been addressed, not by me, but through hidden or just not understood processes. Any way that is all I can do good luck. | 17:14 |

| Beldar | finisherr, why is old-releases.ubuntu.com in your sources? | 17:52 |
| finisherr | I dunno, I just did a vanilla install of the os | 17:53 |

| Beldar | finisherr, can you pastebin your sources.list in the terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list will show it | 17:54 |
| finisherr | Sure | 17:54 |
| finisherr | I tried commenting out some of the sources, but it still failed unless i commented everything | 17:55 |
| bekks | finisherr: Why did you configure old-releases when you have installed 14.04? | 17:55 |

| finisherr | http://pastebin.com/dZYNUERN | 17:56 |
| bekks | finisherr: Thats not an answer to my question. | 17:56 |
| finisherr | I didn't configure anything | 17:56 |
| bekks | You did. old-releases does not get configured autimagically, but ONLY by manual action of the user. | 17:57 |
| finisherr | I selected all of the defaults during the OS installation | 17:57 |
| finisherr | so, that's what I mean by I didn't configure anything | 17:57 |
| bekks | The defaults do not contain that, so you DID configure it manually. | 17:58 |
| finisherr | At what point? During installatoin? | 17:58 |
| bekks | finisherr: After the installation. | 17:59 |
| trijntje | finisherr: of you downloaded a shady image from somewhere | 17:59 |
| trijntje | Did you check the hash of the Iso? | 17:59 |

I'm pretty sure it's new, but I have no idea if something could have changed in software or some part of my hardware is failing. anyone heard of similar issues? | 18:01 |
| finisherr | Okay. Yeah, I downloaded it right from the ubuntu site | 18:01 |
| finisherr | but I guess I'll try again and see what happens | 18:01 |
| Beldar | finisherr, Might be a problem with the download been during the server problems, I have see one other very strange source list addition here today, does not make sense but one does not always need an empirical answer. | 18:03 |

| Guest92462 | Beldar: you wher helping wit with a printer issue about 20 min ago right .. this is/ was whoever | 18:10 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, Yeah, how is that 3rd party added? | 18:10 |
| Beldar | Betal, Yeah | 18:10 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: iat is in 14.04 tha bottom of the file has a section for thirt parts | 18:10 |
| Guest92462 | and that is how it ends up there | 18:11 |
| Betal | Beldar: ok :) | 18:11 |
| Beldar | ssmy, Well, if you want help you have to isolate the possible problems as well as the problems checking variables is part of any fix. | 18:11 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: so for some reason it looks like their package is broken, or is brakinag everthing it comes in contackt with | 18:11 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, YOur saying you think the 3rd party additions on the install is the source addition? | 18:12 |
| ssmy | Beldar: I know that well. just limited options. I would love to try another computer entirely, but nothing else I own can drive it. | 18:12 |
| Beldar | ssmy, best of luck is all I can really say, hope you get it fixed. ;) | 18:13 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: the third party addion occure when you try to sharch and allow ubuntu to install it , it will also add that to sources.list | 18:13 |
| ssmy | Beldar: yeah, just not sure what's happened. maybe my DVI cable is having issues. or ancient graphics card. maybe I'll just upgrade to 14.04 and see if it sticks around. | 18:14 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, THe 3rd party tick on the install is for codecs and other stuff, should not be adding a printer source to sources.list, which is the wrong place for it to go anyway. Nice hypothesis however. | 18:15 |
| syntroPi | how would i install virtualbox drivers for ubuntu 14.04 x64 gnome? i tried installing the guest additions from the iso provided by my virtualbox and they load... just stupid Xorg, Gnome does NOT use them? | 18:15 |
| texla | In 12.04 there was an app called My Unity..Does 14.04 have such a program to change themes from radiance etc | 18:16 |
| syntroPi | Xorg.0.log "failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist, 0)" but it IS already loaded??? | 18:16 |
| syntroPi | im left with an unusable 640x480 Gnome 3.10 | 18:16 |
| bekks | syntroPi: How did you install vbox, and how did you install the guest additions? | 18:16 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: its not adding it durring the install, it is added after the install when I go to printers and search and allow ubuntu to install | 18:17 |
| Guest92462 | the printer , or atleast try to | 18:17 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, Yeah, we know that already, except, yes it has to be broken, it is being put in the wrong sources file to start with, that is why I said I would not touch it | 18:18 |

| Beldar | Guest92462, Third party repos added from the computers auto add or a ppa go to sources.list.d | 18:19 |
| syntroPi | bekks i installed from the official iso inside the vbox 4.2.24 r92790 on a virtual hdd, then did an upgrade, rebooted, mounted the Vboxadditions from that virtualbox, ran the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, rebooted and voila they are loadad (lsmod shows them) BUT Gnome does not use them | 18:19 |
| bekks | syntroPi: And did you uninstall the ubuntu shipped guest additions before? | 18:19 |
| syntroPi | bekks nope whats the package name? | 18:20 |
| milon | hello everyone , i'm a newbie :) | 18:20 |
| bekks | syntroPi: virtualbox-guest* | 18:20 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, I would run a search at askubuntu on that printer to see if others have an answer, and the web in general, you may have done this I do not know. | 18:20 |
| syntroPi | bekks those were not installed | 18:20 |
| bekks | syntroPi: how did you check? | 18:21 |
| milon | i got a problem here in ubuntu 14.04 | 18:21 |
| syntroPi | bekks synaptic | 18:21 |
| milon | would anyone help me please | 18:22 |
| bekks | syntroPi: How about just using "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox"? | 18:22 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: yes it is putting the entry in the wrong file, but either way i still have to run that package to install the printer, and wheater I run it by hand or allow ubuntu to run it that entry is alwabu placec it sources.list | 18:22 |
| DrGrov | I just did a rsync -avp on my old home, located on a 1TB drive, to my current home located on the OS which is a 120GB SSD. How can I pinpoint in fstab that I want my current /home on the SSD moved to the 1TB as /home? | 18:23 |
| syntroPi | bekks they really are not installed, and the correct version 4.2.24 is loaded, just stupid Gnome/Xorg wont use them for some obscure reasseon? | 18:23 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, and you wil be back to the same problem, one unfixable. | 18:23 |
| milon | am i invisible here ?? | 18:23 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: I sadly thave the same feeling | 18:24 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, Your only option is to find a working driver install, or admit the printer will not be running. | 18:24 |
| Guest92462 | blip-: and there only sems to be twoo choices fo6 the driver .. amd64 or i386 | 18:25 |
| Guest92462 | blip-: and I think N have tried booth | 18:25 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, If you have a windows license, you could have a vm and probably use it, or another linux that will. | 18:25 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: sadly i know a windows vm will work and am to stubern to do it | 18:26 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: i could go instal 13.10 install the printer then ypgrade to 14.04 | 18:27 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, Why, a OS is a OS all have there uses, I use W8.1 for word it is all that really works in my scenario of needing a word processor. | 18:27 |

| Guest92462 | Beldar: and you most likly can use libre office there is eption to save as .docx , and macros if you hage spacing issues | 18:30 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, May the force be with you, you have a goal hope you reach it, seems like a hard way to go, just for whatever your reasoning you are using. ;) | 18:31 |
| DrGrov | I have the old /home already as /media/username/Home/username so I have that covered. Would gladly appreciate any kind of help for this. I have no idea how to set the fstab to point correctly so I get my /home from the 120GB SSD to the 1TB hard drive that is mounted already. | 18:32 |
| Beldar | Guest92462, No libreofice will not work in my scenario, can I remind you you are the one in need here, not me and I am far from being a noob. | 18:32 |
| DrGrov | Or am I apparently asking the question so that no one understands what I am trying to do? :( | 18:32 |
| ssmy | DrGrov: kind of understand, just trying to figure out where you are in understanding. what is the partition layout on your 1TB? is the home its own partition? | 18:33 |
| Guest92462 | Beldar: yes I am the one in need here , and just didn't know how far you looked into it | 18:33 |

| mflor | hello | 18:34 |
| DrGrov | ssmy: It is so that when I reinstalled Xubuntu I installed everything, including /home, on the 120GB SSD and want to migrrate my current /home located on the 120GB SSD to the 1TB drive. The 1TB drive is mounted now as /media/deathstar/Home/cj and I rsynced that content just in case to my /home located on the 120GB SSD. | 18:35 |
| DrGrov | ssmy: The partition layout on the 1TB drive I can paste an output of just to make sure. But I should only have my old /home, no OS related things since / is and has always been on the 120GB SSD. | 18:36 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, here is what my main no seperate home fstab looks like, sudo blkid wil give you your UUID, UUID=271c9081-90b8-498e-a6ca-e630f2c73c6b / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 Having two identical partitions however confuses grub. | 18:36 |
| === scott is now known as Guest55536 | ||
| DrGrov | Beldar: Can I paste my output so you can look at it? | 18:37 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, Having two "bootable' identical partitions however confuses grub. | 18:37 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, go ahead. | 18:37 |
| asdofindia | it is much easier to look at paste data. | 18:37 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, Not really read what I have said. | 18:37 |
| syntroPi | bekks, do you have any idea why its not loading? dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649291/ Xorg.o.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649283/ and modules loaded http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649303/ | 18:38 |
| DrGrov | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649311/ | 18:38 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, For me analyzing your work is hand holding, I do not have the patience is all, I expect others to learn this stuff like I did, the hard way by doing it. ;) | 18:38 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, /dev/sda is your 120GB and /dev/sdb is your 1TB? | 18:39 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Ah, so you are saying I am wasting my time with the resolution issue I had yesterday and now this /home migrating things? ;-) | 18:39 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, where have I said that? | 18:39 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Yes, /sda1 and /sda5 is /. I will verify just in case. | 18:39 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: No, did not mean it like that. Just thinking that you perhaps were thinking that I am wasting my time? | 18:40 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, also paste your `mount` output. And /etc/fstab. | 18:40 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, I say what I mean, if I thought you were I would say so, I am a direct communicator. | 18:40 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649320/ | 18:40 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Ok, I understand. How have you analyzed my work then if I may ask? And patience is something I hope I would not have in most cases :( | 18:41 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, /etc/fstab too. | 18:42 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Ok. How do I do the whole current /home/deathstar/. situation then? Can I get those as well now since those are probably also configurations that I set up while using? | 18:42 |

| DrGrov | asdofindia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649336/ | 18:43 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, No idea not knowing what you have done. However I gave you the correct fstab needed info, and let you know that two identical bootable partitions will confuse grub. E.g. home on the 1 TB HD and the ssd | 18:43 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Ah of course, now I understand. That is why it is as "LABEL" in blkid? | 18:44 |
| Beldar | and the blikid commands to set the UUID for thr fstab home on the SSD | 18:44 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, labels are a waste of time in my opinion, especialy for something like home | 18:45 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, You have already moved your files, have you? | 18:45 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: I just have managed to do a rsync -avp /media/deathstar/Home/cj /home/deathstar thus far. Nothing else. | 18:45 |
| asdofindia | okkay | 18:45 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Yes, I have moved my files to the current /home on /home/deathstar. But there is the . files left on there. Should I need to do something about them as well because those are configurations probably going at the moment from my using? | 18:46 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, if you need them. | 18:46 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Yes, I need them but they are only on the current /home which is on the 120GB SSD. How can I migrate these at the same time? | 18:47 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, for now, let's talk about your devices as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Your /dev/sda1/home folder need to be moved to /dev/sdb1/ | 18:48 |
| asdofindia | that's what happens when you do `sudo rsync -aXS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /media/home/.` if you really followed that manual you linked. | 18:48 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Okay, yes let us talk about that. | 18:48 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: I followed what ikonia said and that is "rsync -avp /media/deathstar/Home/cj /home/deathstar" | 18:49 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Should I do it again properly with "sudo rsync -aXS --exclude ... " again just to be sure? | 18:49 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, I'd do that if I were you. | 18:50 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: So exactly which way goes the output when I have the old /home at /home/media/Home/cj and the new at /home/deathstar? | 18:51 |
| mydoghasworms | I am trying to run a 32 bit program on 14.04 (rebol) that is looking for libXaw.so.7. I see libXaw.so.7 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXaw7.so.7, but it does not find it. | 18:52 |
| bekks | mydoghasworms: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXaw7.so.7 is a 64bit library. | 18:52 |
| mydoghasworms | bekks: Oh yes, I guess I should have seen that from the path! Silly me. | 18:53 |
| asdofindia | DrGrov, I have no idea. there are too many '/home's in that line. | 18:53 |
| mydoghasworms | bekks: Thanks! | 18:53 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Yes, it seems so. | 18:53 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: So, I have verified that the contents at /home/deathstar now is the same as the old contents on the 1TB drive located at /media/deathstar/Home/cj , except the . files which I want as well. | 18:54 |
| asdofindia | if you follow the manual to the letter (like what I'd do if I were you), you'll finally set `UUID=b3ca7c01-806e-4c37-805b-4aaa70e32f97 /home ext4 defaults 0 2` in /etc/fstab. | 18:54 |
| asdofindia | All your other problems are because of not sticking to the manual. | 18:55 |
| asdofindia | And, good night. | 18:55 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Good night | 18:56 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: And the reason I did not follow the manual precisely and got confused is because I already have the old home as /media/home | 18:57 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: And thanks for the help. | 18:57 |

| abhiSri | Hi , I am facing some issue with my ubuntu installation, Its getting hanged on logo screen and nothing is happening after that. I tried solution available online but I guess its not mounting my drive as its getting hanged at loading initial ramdisk | 19:07 |
| Beldar | abhiSri, what solution on line? | 19:07 |
| syntroPi | bekks, Beldar it loads the kernel modules but Xorg refuses to use them | 19:07 |
| bekks | syntroPi: Then did not install them correctly. | 19:08 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, does not answer my question. | 19:08 |
| bekks | syntroPi: Did you check the install log of the guest additions after installing them? | 19:08 |
| abhiSri | Beldar: running fsck to check filesystem and all | 19:08 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | abhiSri | 19:08 |
| ubottu | abhiSri: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:08 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Now I found out what I have been thinking wrong. | 19:08 |
| abhiSri | Beldar: but fsck output is giving me nothing its says everything is clean | 19:09 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: It was not supposed to even go into /media/deathstar/Home/cj, just /media/home | 19:09 |
| abhiSri | Beldar: ubottu let me check it | 19:09 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Thanks for helping :) | 19:09 |
| Beldar | abhiSri, why a fsck I'm not sure. | 19:09 |
| ubuntu-studio | test | 19:10 |
| Beldar | abhiSri, If you boot then hit the esc you will see text, that can be quite revealing. | 19:10 |
| abhiSri | Beldar: I was checking a solution online and it says if its getting stuck at loading initial ramdisk and nothing happening it could be that filesystem is getting mounted as readonly | 19:10 |
| abhiSri | Checking that. | 19:11 |

| Beldar | DrGrov, Not sure you have a voodoo fstab thing going on not needed is all. | 19:20 |
| dmavroid | <ActionParsnip> I am trying to play some online games and they ask me for the flash player plug in. so I am trying to install it but is not working | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: i use it for the ease of flash. Zero issues here | 19:20 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Thanks for yesterday about the broken EDID. Got it figured out by overriding the EDID Grundig was pushing through and stripped it completely. | 19:20 |
| abhiSri | Beldar: Well it was working perfectly , only thing which I had done is edited xconf because my mouse wasnt working , after restart now nothing is working | 19:20 |
| OerHeks | dmavroid, my experience: if flash is running and the site is still asking to install flash, it is malware. | 19:21 |
| OerHeks | dmavroid, does not happen on youtube, right? | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 19:21 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: So I can ignore that or do I need to add a line? The fstab entry is here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649512/ | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: use a pastebin to host | 19:21 |
| Beldar | abhiSri, Not sure but I believe the xconf edit is probably the issue I have not had to mess with that area so do not know, just helps thew helpers to know more info is all, at least some of us anyway. ;) | 19:22 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Do you know if it is possible to run at 100Hz if my Grundig LED TV can support it? | 19:22 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, Honestly I can't help you, this is beyond my patience factor and pay scale. ;) | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:23 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Sure :) I just wondered if that was something strange since it complained like it did. | 19:23 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649518/ | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: with an xorg.conf yes, if its not being detected. | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: is the display you are seeing not okn | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ok | 19:23 |
| dmavroid | <OerHeks> No it does not happen but the application is on facebook :S | 19:23 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: But forget it, I will just carry on now when I am in the flow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29 | 19:23 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Yes, it is ok now at 50Hz but I really want to push it to 100Hz since it can handle it. Not sure though I should. | 19:24 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I got it to show up at 1920x1080 as intended without tearing and unvisible fonts. | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: if its ok, why mess with it? | 19:24 |
| syntroPi | I think Ubuntu 14.04 x64 is incompatible with VirtualBox 4.2.24 | 19:25 |
| Beldar | DrGrov, Dude I'm studying to be a clinical psychologist, that is a big lol and very faulty. | 19:25 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: True, you are absolutely right :) | 19:25 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Ah, ok. Your opinion, not mine necessarily :) | 19:25 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Perhaps I can bother you with a small fstab question I just wondered about? | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: uninstall flashplugin-installer and enable the partner repo. Then install adobeflash-plugin | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: wassup? | 19:26 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I am moving my /home from 120GB SSD to the 1TB and did this, this is the /etc/fstab entries and it complained about sudo mount -a | 19:27 |
| DrGrov | [mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab | 19:27 |
| DrGrov | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649512/ | 19:27 |
| psusi | DrGrov, so add a newline | 19:27 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : how to enable partner repos? | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | psusi: exactly | 19:27 |
| DrGrov | psusi: But why? It is in the middle of the process still according to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: its in software centre | 19:28 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: I am still following this guide so it perhaps is nothing with the newline in /etc/fstab? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: go to the end of the last line in fstab and press ENTER | 19:28 |
| psusi | DrGrov, what? because it wants a newline apparently | 19:28 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : any guidance? | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: i already said..... | 19:29 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Ah, you mean it is just to press Enter? | 19:29 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Ok, will do. | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: yes, what did you think a newline was? | 19:29 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Sorry, did not see. | 19:29 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: Nothing unusual there , no errors, but while booting in recovery mode and enabling networking , I am getting segmentation fault in loading network adaptors , that is unexpected | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: the system was telling you what was needed | 19:29 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Thank you, now it is working according to what it should :) | 19:30 |
| xangua | !partner | dmavroid | 19:30 |
| ubottu | dmavroid: Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: again, the system was telling you what was needed | 19:31 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: Yes, but I was not thinking it like that. My mistake. | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Np | 19:31 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: And apparently the issues I had earlier here was that I got confused by having the old /home at the 1TB drive at /media/deathstar/Home/cj. So I now got the stuff to /home/deathstar and now it seems to be working fine. | 19:32 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: The double homes confused me :) | 19:32 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: So, thank you for pointing out my mistakes. I know how to do this but the two homes confused me way too much to grasp the beginning of why it was doing what it was. | 19:33 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : I have tryied to install the adobeflash-plugin but it says Unable to lacate package | 19:34 |
| Beldar | dmavroid, Did you run an update after turning that repoe on? | 19:36 |
| asdofindia | No DrGrov, not sticking to the manual confused you. | 19:36 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: No, it did not. What confused me is the point of /media/deathstar/HOME/cj. | 19:36 |
| dmavroid | <Beldar> yes | 19:37 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Now I am following the manual without issues, and now I have documented all the steps with screenshots and commands and the whole thing on my own webserver so I can get it anytime anyplace for further reference :) | 19:37 |
| Beldar | dmavroid, make sure the canonical partners and the independent repos are on and show us you terminal work in a pastebin on the installl. | 19:38 |
| lachesis | hey guys, what should i use for video and voice conferencing across windows, linux, and android? | 19:38 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Just in case I forget it for next time. | 19:38 |
| Beldar | asdofindia, It was the faulty flow, lol. | 19:39 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: Thanks a lot for your kind help, it sorted me out :) | 19:39 |
| rww | lachesis: Skype if you don't care about the NSA or free software, Jitsi if you do. | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: adobe-flashplugin sorry | 19:39 |
| rww | Both kind of suck. | 19:39 |
| lachesis | i kinda hate the idea of using skype. audio conferencing is easy - mumble or any sip client | 19:39 |
| DrGrov | asdofindia: Thank you to you too for the kind help and assistance :) | 19:39 |
| lachesis | rww: thanks for the recommendation, i'll have a look at jitsi | 19:39 |
| daviator | hello | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lachesis: skype works on all 3 | 19:39 |
| OerHeks | lachesis, google hangout ? | 19:40 |
| daviator | i have a little question | 19:40 |
| rww | lachesis: I note Jitsi is pretty bad, but it's the least bad option I found. | 19:40 |
| lachesis | OerHeks: yeah, that's another option, although it suffers from the same centralization problem as skype | 19:40 |
| Beldar | daviator, Go ahead to the channel. ;) | 19:40 |
| DrGrov | Beldar: And just make fun out of me, please continue if you feel that it is necessary. | 19:40 |
| daviator | i have just installed xubuntu 12.04 lts | 19:40 |
| OerHeks | lachesis, true, keep it aside if nothing else works :-) | 19:40 |
| Beldar | daviator, All in one post though. | 19:40 |
| === msx is now known as Guest16401 | ||
| lachesis | OerHeks: yeah, i have skype and google hangouts installed for when someone demands them (job interviews, etc) | 19:41 |
| daviator | what do you mean? | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | lachesis: jabber or ekiga too | 19:41 |
| lachesis | just trying to figure out what to recommend for everyone | 19:41 |
| daviator | sorry i am bad in english :) | 19:41 |
| Beldar | daviator, Keep the post concise and in one unit. | 19:41 |
| daviator | i am from ukraine | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | daviator: please state your issue, use a single line | 19:42 |
| daviator | ok :) i`ll try | 19:42 |
| rww | I note that "jabber" presumably means the protocol named XMPP, not a client, and that that's what I used with Jitsi to do video conferencing. There is no other XMPP client I know of that supports OTR and video chat encryption. | 19:42 |
| rww | Pidgin supports OTR and supports video chat, but I don't think it's encrypted and it crashes more than Jitsi. | 19:42 |
| rww | Empathy is, as usual, completely lacking. | 19:42 |
| rww | oh, and pidgin video chat is Linux-only | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pidgin kicks ass | 19:43 |
| daviator | so, the question is: how can i look in all partions that i have on my disc? | 19:43 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: for most things IM-related, sure. It has bugs in its OTR implementation, and its video conferencing does not kick ass :( | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | daviator: mount them and you can read them | 19:43 |
| Beldar | daviator, two ways sudo fdisk -l or gparted is a good start | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Rww: i just use it as IM stuff | 19:44 |
| Beldar | daviator, Sorry I read at not in my apology. | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Rww: been using it a long time, from when it was gaim | 19:44 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: Beldar I checked the logs its actually mounting filesystem as readonly. I checked my fstab , it says errors=remount-ro is that is something which is forcing it to get mounted as readonly? | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: what file system are you trying to mount? | 19:45 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649630/ | 19:45 |
| daviator | where i can find gpart? | 19:45 |
| bekks | daviator: "sudo fdisk -l" will list all partitions found. | 19:46 |
| Beldar | abhiSri, Not sure, I would stick with ActionParsnip'a help to be honest. ;) | 19:46 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: i am not trying to mount , at time of boot its loading filesystem as readonly | 19:47 |
| daviator | terminal says that this command wasn t found | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: run: apt-cache search adobe | grep -i flash | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: ok. What filesystem is it? | 19:47 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: ext4 | 19:48 |
| psusi | abhiSri, no, errors are what is forcing it to be remounted ro... check dmesg to see what the errors are | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: it a combination of 'adobe' and 'flash' in sone form.... | 19:48 |
| OerHeks | flashplugin-installer = Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 19:48 |
| === tex is now known as Guest91781 | ||
| daviator | but i have just installed gparted :) | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: have you ran an fsck on it when it is unmounted? | 19:48 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649638/ | 19:49 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: yea, used live cd to do that | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: is it a non-system partition? Does it just hold casual user data? | 19:50 |
| syntroPi | Beldar, bekks unfortunately it seems that Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with Xorg 1.15 IS incompatible with Vbox 4.2.24.. with 4.3.12 it loads immediately | 19:50 |
| Beldar | daviator, give examples of commands not working and copy and paste from here when used and copy and paste back what you used. Use the nick of whom your answering to start your post. | 19:50 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: no its actually the system partition , root partition | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: i see, can you remount it read/write? | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: sudo mount -o remount,rw / | 19:51 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649654/ | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | abhiSri: will do it | 19:51 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, I'm not in this so no need to include me. ;) | 19:51 |
| abhiSri | Yea I can do that , while in recovery mode , I can remount it to read/write | 19:51 |
| === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold | ||
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,will clean up those packages | 19:52 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : and then install adobe? | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: its already in | 19:55 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : nothing seems to work | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: have you tried chrome? | 19:57 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : yeap, same story there | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dmavroid: do pages like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 work? | 19:58 |
| OerHeks | dmavroid, does that FB ask for flash or silverlight? | 19:58 |
| daviator | fdisc -f | 19:59 |
| daviator | that command wasnt worked | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | fdisk maybe? | 19:59 |
| dmavroid | ActionParsnip : nop | 20:00 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| dmavroid | <OerHeks> flash player | 20:00 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: I was checking my log and its says | 20:02 |
| abhiSri | ActionParsnip: "EXT4-fs sdb8 INFO recovery required on readonly filesystem" that is my system partion actually | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | dmavroid, if you restarted your browser after messing around with plashplugin installer, and the facebook page gives no running video, then that page is questionable. does the url from ActionParsnip work? | 20:04 |
| dmavroid | <OerHeks> I restarted the browser and even the computer and nothing worked. fb nor the page suggested above | 20:05 |
| zykotick9 | dmavroid: is this chromium/chrome browser? | 20:06 |
| dmavroid | <zykotick9> chromium | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | dmavroid: i'd think that's the problem then, new chromium versions does use the firefox plugin architecture anymore. look into pepperflash. | 20:07 |
| dmavroid | <zykotick9> it doesnot work for firefox either | 20:07 |
| zykotick9 | dmavroid: ummm, well that's possibly a different issue then? best of luck (flash needs to die in a fire IMO). | 20:08 |
| * psusi seconds the flash dieing in a fire | 20:08 | |
| bekks | It needs to be extincted, indeed. | 20:08 |
| dmavroid | <zykotick9> thumps up mate but am I really stuck? | 20:09 |

Do you recommend any software to do this task? I read a bit about lili(a linuxLive usb creator). | 20:18 |
| bazhang | WilsonMathew, unetbootin.sourceforge.net is one | 20:19 |
| rww | WilsonMathew: out of curiosity, which computer do you have? | 20:19 |
| WilsonMathew | rww, a toshiba satellite nb15t-a1302 | 20:19 |
| Beldar | WilsonMathew, I doubt that is really the case, this thread might help you understand the differentials of the manufacturers uefi bios..etc setups. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 20:20 |

| Megabyte | Hey, everyone | 20:25 |
| Megabyte | How do I stop libreoffice from automatically hyphenizing a word? | 20:26 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Hyphenation | 20:27 |
| Megabyte | Beldar, the regular hyphenation tool does not work | 20:27 |
| Megabyte | Beldar, when you click on the "remove" button, it won't remove the hyphen | 20:27 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, try copying and pasting the libreoffice file in .config to a save then removing from .config as a test. | 20:29 |
| abhiSri | I am getting this error "EXT4-fs sdb8 INFO recovery required on readonly filesystem" that is my system partion actually and ubuntu is getting hanged on purple screen. I removed the option of errors=remount-ro and replaced it with defaults ; now its working but still not sure what was the issue. Any pointers? | 20:29 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, make sure libreoffice is closed to reset | 20:29 |
| Megabyte | Beldar, how would that solve the non-hyphenating problem? | 20:29 |
| bprompt | Megabyte: Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids.... bottom section | 20:30 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, We don't know how it is configured, or of you have configure anything, this will make it as if you just installed libreoffice, a simple test really, may fix yuour issue. | 20:30 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, I just want to remove the hyphen from a single word... not all instances of it | 20:31 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, My libreooffice does no auto correcting is why I wonder about the config | 20:32 |
| Megabyte | Beldar, Oh. Mine neither. But I did set the paragraph to add hyphens automatically | 20:33 |
| Megabyte | Beldar, But there's this particular word that's best *not* hyphenated | 20:33 |
| bprompt | hmm mine doens't either | 20:33 |
| Megabyte | And just on that instance | 20:33 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, you have to set it up manually to hyphenize automatically | 20:33 |
| bprompt | Megabyte: what's the specific word anyhow? usually you can "ignore" changes | 20:33 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, "continuar" | 20:34 |
| Megabyte | It's a verb in Portuguese | 20:34 |
| Megabyte | but it's a command in this context | 20:34 |
| Megabyte | So I wouldn't like it hyphenized | 20:34 |
| Beldar | Megabyte, Ah, quite the conundrum in that scenario is seems. ;) | 20:34 |
| cemotyz09 | couldn't you add it to dictionary with it as the "incorrect" spelling | 20:34 |
| Megabyte | cemotyz09, but then, it would add all instances of "continuar" | 20:35 |
| Megabyte | it's just *this* instance | 20:35 |
| cemotyz09 | Oh ok that does make it dificult | 20:35 |
| Megabyte | cemotyz09, LibreOffice's hyphenizing tool should set up the exception | 20:36 |
| Megabyte | but it simply doesn't | 20:36 |
| bprompt | hmm | 20:36 |
| bprompt | Megabyte: I'm not getting any hyphenation on it, even though I squeezed the column short enough | 20:37 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, you must use paragraph styles and check it there | 20:37 |
| bprompt | well..... I don't see it | 20:38 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, choose a paragraph style | 20:38 |
| Megabyte | Then right-click, "modify" | 20:39 |
| Megabyte | Then there's a "text flow" tab | 20:39 |
| Megabyte | you check automatic hyphenation there | 20:39 |
| Megabyte | AND apply it to the paragraph | 20:39 |
| msx | 1/j #btrfs | 20:40 |
| WilsonMathew | Beldar, Well I think I just want to use linux already I have been using windows for quite sometime now and I am going nuts. lol | 20:41 |

| WilsonMathew | beldar, Yeah. I think I went through a lot of trouble trying to install linux and even erased windows 8 completly and ended up without a operationg system and I couldn't get into ubunto or any linux distro. So I am just going to get linux and start working with it. But don't get me wrong I am not gining up on it. I am going to keep researching on it. | 20:45 |
| Beldar | WilsonMathew, Understandable, new HD right I ask as the original had a gpt partition table, the replacement most likely did not, this can just be one of the factors causing problems. | 20:47 |
| OerHeks | WilsonMathew, if that machine is 32 bit, with EFI, then there is no go for linux AFAIK | 20:50 |
| WilsonMathew | Bprompt, It actually lets you disable it. But I can't find a way to boot into ubuntu. It just boots straight into windows and when I erased windows it just asks me to intall a system. A friend actually helped me to intall arch and it worked for the first time it booted into arch and I was so happy but then the second time it booted into it the system it would just erase the grub or something | 20:50 |
| WilsonMathew | and It kept asking for a system. | 20:50 |
| bprompt | WilsonMathew: you can always just put a new grub version in the hard drive | 20:51 |
| bprompt | WilsonMathew: I think "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" assuming your hdd is /dev/sda does just that | 20:52 |
| pyther | could someone run this command on their system and tell me the resulting output? $ stat -c %a $(which Xorg) | 20:52 |
| bprompt | you'd just need to do a quick "sudo update-grub" to make sure the UUID's are updated | 20:52 |
| pyther | it simply print the file permissions of the Xorg binary | 20:52 |
| WilsonMathew | OerHeks, t is a 64bit. But this is the first time I have heard about not being able to intall linux into a 32 bit with EFI. Why? | 20:54 |
| OerHeks | WilsonMathew, there is a limit in efi, except for windows 32 bit. see the !uefi factoid | 20:57 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 20:57 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 20:57 |
| WilsonMathew | bprompt, I think I have done that before. But I am a newbie in all this installation stuff and to linux as well so I am going to try it again. | 20:59 |

| === felipealmeida is now known as felipealmeida_AW | ||
| varunendra | dkorras, ActionParsnip (I hope) means you *should* have a bit more swap space than RAM, so that the system can suspend properly. Although I think it matters only during hibernation. | 21:12 |

| libmn | Ah, if it happens to everyone except ActionParsnip, I guess that's alright then. | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: genuine question, why did i have to ask the make and model of the printer? Why did you not state the make and model of the printer? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | libmn: and the many systems ive installed it on..... | 21:23 |
| holstein | libmn: well, the kernel upgrading breaking doesnt mean the entire kernel is of "low quality".. it can actually just break for your hardware | 21:23 |
| libmn | Ever use full disk encryption? | 21:23 |
| holstein | libmn: have you filed? or found a bug pertainging to your hardware and the kernel? | 21:23 |

| m1dnight_ | hey guys, I'm gonan need some help :p | 21:26 |
| m1dnight_ | I tried installing nvidia drivers on 14.04 (to try and make suspend work) | 21:26 |
| m1dnight_ | but now I'm stuck on a tty0 | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Delizin: could remove the option then run: sudo passwd -l uwsgi ,to disable the account once its made | 21:27 |
| m1dnight_ | startx says "could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0' | 21:27 |
| m1dnight_ | and then errors | 21:27 |
| libmn | Running 14.04. Used the default disk setup with disk encryption. All 3 available kernel versions now have the same problem. | 21:27 |
| m1dnight_ | I might want to try and reinstall nouveau and live with the fact that suspend does not work :p but I'm beat on how to do it *properly* | 21:27 |
| Delizin | ActionParsnip: Thank you very much. | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | m1dnight_: how did you install the drivers? | 21:27 |
| m1dnight_ | via the software center (imr unning xubuntu btw) | 21:27 |
| m1dnight_ | and I just clicked the bottom one in the list (cant remember which one it was) | 21:28 |
| m1dnight_ | I tried an other one first though | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | m1dnight_: you can blacklist the nvidia driver using the boot option: nvidia.blacklist=1 | 21:29 |
| m1dnight_ | is that just the 'blacklist nvidia*' command? | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | m1dnight_: you may find running: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,help | 21:29 |
| causative | is smbd (samba) used for anything critical in ubuntu? | 21:29 |
| m1dnight_ | I tired that one, but to no avail | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | m1dnight_: you can add "blacklist nvidia" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 21:30 |
| m1dnight_ | okay i'm gonna try that one | 21:31 |
| m1dnight_ | thnx ActionParsnip | 21:31 |
| m1dnight_ | dmanit | 21:31 |
| m1dnight_ | nothing | 21:31 |

| tagliatelli | Beldar, it worked, thank you! I'd first pasted the files, then tried to preset and select folder.. | 22:50 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, Cool takes a few tries sometimes. ;) | 22:50 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, I tried around the menu items, but this one hadnt occured to me | 22:51 |
| Beldar | terraformer, Are you using ubuntu, adding ppa's are risky enough, one from another OS is bad, ppa's s are unsupported third-party packages | 22:52 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, It has happened to me, does not seem intuitive, as the click is in the middle of the app. | 22:53 |
| terraformer | Beldar, that's why I'm trying to find a way to install Noise without adding a ppa from another OS, it will mess up my system :) | 22:53 |
| Beldar | terraformer, Sure if not in the ubuntu repos it is technically not supported here, however a fair argument for need may get you some. You have to address the actual issue to start with leading to Noise as well. | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | terraformer, grab the source and build yourself? https://launchpad.net/noise/0.3.x/0.3.0/+download/noise-0.3.0.tgz | 22:55 |

| basketball | i shared a printer from my ubuntu pc but my windows one cant see it | 22:56 |
| terraformer | OerHeks, it seems that that is the safest way to get it | 22:56 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, yet it didnt convert the files, to my surprise..the terminal ran the command that it was deprecated, and that avconv should be used..it must be a recent change.. | 22:58 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, Hard to say, depends on what from to conversion you are running, there is always ffmpeg for converting, but that is a whole other kettle of great white sharks. ;) | 22:59 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, Handbrake as well | 22:59 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, I will try these then..thank you again! | 23:01 |
| Loshki | basketball: try ##windows. At least you know your server is working... | 23:03 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, take a looks here, those other options are not any easier at the least. https://code.google.com/p/winff/wiki/UsingAvconv | 23:05 |

| Vo1d | alguien sabe como desintalar el servicio ingreslock? | 23:09 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, the values in the table on link page were set by client as ffmpeg and ffplay when I selected linux, and when I change them as on the page, then the deprecation alert is replaced by this error: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame' | 23:10 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, In general linux is setup to be fixed when not working, this takes some skill and familiarity and good search skills. To get this far I used your error like this "winff avconv should be used" on google. You can try and search for other apps or command line options, but may get no farther along is all. | 23:13 |
| gr1sha | it seems that whatever I do I can't make "Unity 3D supported: no" enabled. I'm using latest Ubuntu Desktop (14.04) under VirtualBox | 23:15 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, winff is a gui for ffmpeg, ironically much of what needed is not installed stock, so that is part of the conundrum. | 23:16 |
| tagliatelli | Beldar, ok, I will try others and see, thank you for your help! | 23:16 |

| ubottu | Vo1d: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 23:17 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, Cool, hope you find what is needed. ;) | 23:17 |
| Vo1d | somebody know to uninstall service ingreslock ¿? please | 23:19 |
| tagliatelli | Thanks, Beldar | 23:20 |
| Beldar | tagliatelli, np | 23:20 |
| Beldar | Vo1d, Is this ubuntu and a desktop or server? On the web I see only windows relevance and rootkit. | 23:24 |
| Beldar | however with rootkits many can run in any OS environment | 23:26 |
| jwcalderon | hi, everybody | 23:27 |
| jwcalderon | i have a question about ubuntu 14.04 and Logitech C920 USB WEBCAM | 23:27 |
| jwcalderon | anybody has tried with that combination ? | 23:28 |
| DrGrov | I am experiencing some strange errors at startup which I barely see on Xubuntu 14.04. This is the output, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7650395/ Does anyone know what this is all about? | 23:28 |
| DrGrov | I got the output with dmesg, should I perhaps paste the whole dmesg output in order to see the bigger picture? | 23:28 |
| Beldar | jwcalderon, All you have to do here is address the actual issue for help from the channel, not me the channel. | 23:29 |
| Beldar | no hellos no question outlines | 23:29 |
| Loshki | jwcalderon: I have 12.04 and logitech quickcam 9000, so ask away. Maybe I can help | 23:30 |
| Loshki | DrGrov: you won't like it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167285 | 23:32 |
| Vo1d | Beldar, thanks, I will search about rootkit or NIDS | 23:33 |
| Beldar | Vo1d, If you are infected, do a fresh install, that you will never actually fix, or know you have. | 23:33 |
| Vo1d | thanks Beldar for the information ::( | 23:34 |
| Beldar | Vo1d, IF you are running on the web in root that is not good either. | 23:34 |
| Beldar | like kali...etc | 23:35 |
| DrGrov | Loshki: Haha! | 23:35 |
| DrGrov | Loshki: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167285 | 23:35 |
| Juju | Hello everybody, how can I got a list of channels with w_scan or with dvbv5-scan | 23:35 |
| DrGrov | Loshki: I was just there and found it is my Logitech keyboard doing the funky stuff. I wonder, if I change the keyboard layout to something else and get it working would that rectify the issue? | 23:36 |
| Beldar | Juju, What irc client are you using? | 23:36 |
| DrGrov | There seems to be a lot of Logitech keyboard alternatives there but could not find my specific one | 23:36 |
| Juju | Beldar its name is SMUXI | 23:36 |
| Juju | Beldar» why? | 23:36 |
| Juju | I was talking about TV CHannels... in SMPLAYER | 23:37 |
| Beldar | Juju, most will give you a full list or search specifically is all. | 23:37 |
| Juju | Beldar.. read me above | 23:37 |
| Beldar | ah tv | 23:37 |
| Loshki | DrGrov: I've actually no idea if it'll help, I just googled & skimmed the article for you. Makes me look much smarter than I really am... | 23:37 |
| DrGrov | Loshki: But luckily the keyboard works fine so I guess it is to try and find something that does not cause that error. | 23:37 |
| Beldar | Juju, Hard to read an type, that is info that should have been part of your inquiry. | 23:37 |
| DrGrov | Loshki: I did google that before but did not read the thread through, but a big thanks for helping out before I looked for a needle in a haystack :) | 23:38 |
| Beldar | "TV" channels | 23:38 |
| Loshki | DrGrov: A pleasure... | 23:39 |
| Juju | Beldar» it was implicit when i tell the name of 2 programs whose functions are to search tv channels.. | 23:39 |
| Beldar | intuition is one thing reading minds another | 23:40 |
| Loshki | Is there somewhere I can pastebin jpegs? I have circuit schematics I need to share... | 23:41 |
| Juju | Beldar» anyway.... can you help me? | 23:41 |
| Juju | Loshki a lot of them... tinypic.com | 23:51 |
| Loshki | Juju: Excellent, thanks | 23:52 |
| Loshki | Juju: I assume you've already seen http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dvbv5-scan | 23:57 |
