| herbally | hello all, my system is very freshly installed. today it happened 3 times that when I selected it in grub (I have another OS on device) it went into recovery menu, where I selected normal boot, which then ended up with an altered desktop (what I noticed were bigger launcher icons). at the last time recovery menu appeared I selected 'repair broken'..though during desktop sessions everything ran without any error messages. | 00:15 |
| herbally | so now I first had a screen that says 'Continuing will remount your / filesystem..' and under it a command line with fsck..and for a minute now the screen went blank with backlight | 00:17 |
| herbally | should I presume all is ok? | 00:18 |
| jellow | herbally, you quit fsck from recovery menu through ctrl-alt backspace | 00:19 |
| herbally | jellow, it didnt work | 00:19 |
| herbally | jellow, but ctrl+alt+del now did.. it is rebooting | 00:20 |
| herbally | it went into recovery menu again | 00:20 |
| jellow | herbally, try fsck again it should report everything is fine. | 00:21 |
| herbally | jellow, you mean this one, right: fsck : check all file systems ? | 00:22 |
| jellow | herbally, yes | 00:23 |
| kenj | anybody alive? | 00:23 |
| Snickerz | nope | 00:23 |
| herbally | jellow, same screen as a minute ago, so I should wait while it is checking file systems, and then it detects any broken? | 00:24 |
| kenj | Installed lubuntu on an old Gateway laptop and after a couple days of tinkering, everything is working except for suspend. | 00:24 |
| kenj | The drive sda disappears and ext4fs freaks out. | 00:24 |
| jellow | herbally, yes give it a little while, You do not have network shares in fstab do you? | 00:25 |
| jellow | fsck in recovery mode tries to mount everything in fstab if it is unreachable then it will get stuck. | 00:26 |
| fizy[laptop] | is it possible and/or advisable to connect a harddrive via SATA while the system is running? | 00:26 |
| herbally | jellow, no | 00:27 |
| kenj | fizy yes. SATA is hot pluggable. | 00:27 |
| herbally | jellow, I mean, I dont know what you mean, but did nothing with fstab | 00:27 |
| kenj | fizy just not your boot drive | 00:27 |
| kenj | fizy make sure you sync and unmount before unplugging too | 00:28 |
| fizy[laptop] | kenj really? i heard that would cause a kernel panic. im asking because my system wont boot with my primary drive connected (the power surged and now it clicks). i want to boot via cd and hot plug it and see if i can get ANYTHING from like gparted or something | 00:29 |
| histo | Anyone mind testing a bug with dc3dd? | 00:31 |
| kenj | fizy you shouldn't need to hotplug in that case. on bootup, hit the F[something key] to select boot options. Select CD/DVD and boot. | 00:31 |
| fizy[laptop] | kenj i know, but it cant get past POST. it hangs on "auto detecting SATA #1" | 00:31 |
| amzolt | Anyone know how to fix KDE's Kontact when it crashes when trying to configure it? | 00:32 |
| kenj | fizy: Sounds like you're kind of screwed then. You can try hot plug but if doesn't enumerate via BIOS, it is not likely to be detected during hotplu. | 00:33 |
| fizy[laptop] | kenj i know im kind of screwed. i was just hoping that gparted or dd could give me something. i know its a long shot | 00:35 |
| Joe_knock | Hello | 00:39 |
| Joe_knock | I ran this command while I am SSH from 1 linux PC to another: sudo mv *.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ , how do I then upgrade my packages after this? | 00:40 |
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: do you mean ubuntu-version upgrade? regular upgrade would be, "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrace" | 00:42 |
| zykotick9 | s/upgrace/upgrade/ | 00:42 |
| Joe_knock | is it: sudo apt-get install update or just sudo apt-get update? I am on 12.04 LTS | 00:43 |
| === jsrs_ is now known as knk | ||
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" as i said before... | 00:43 |
| === knk is now known as knkop | ||
| histo | Joe_knock: update just receives a list of packages from the server | 00:43 |
| histo | Joe_knock: ugprade actually upgrades the packages. | 00:44 |
| knkop | l | 00:44 |
| Joe_knock | From the last time I was here, it was explained that the above command (sudo mv *.deb) would move cached updated copies from the updated machine to the machine requiring updates. | 00:44 |
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: fyi, dist-upgrade means "full-upgrade" BTW. | 00:44 |
| Joe_knock | histo: based on the fact that I've moved upgraded .deb files to the older machine, do I need to run update first before upgrade? | 00:44 |
| histo | Joe_knock: Why are you trying to upgrade in this manner? | 00:45 |
| Joe_knock | histo: upgrades take long, so I am attempting to simply push cached copies from the updated machine to the older machine and letting these updates happen in 2/3 minutes | 00:46 |
| kenj | he's probably trying to avoid the double download | 00:46 |
| Joe_knock | kenj: Correct! | 00:46 |
| zykotick9 | apt-cacher-ng FTW ;) | 00:46 |
| kenj | you can set up a machine to cache the files and problem solved. | 00:47 |
| histo | Joe_knock: then upgrade or dist-upgrade is what you want | 00:47 |
| Corvette | When I Log into Unity, the screen configuration is correct. But when I log into Gnome, it isn't. Can someone tell me how to fix this | 00:47 |
| histo | Corvette: what do you mean by screen configuration? | 00:48 |
| Corvette | the arrangement | 00:48 |
| Corvette | of monitors | 00:48 |
| Joe_knock | histo, kenj: I've gotten as far as successfully sudo mv *.deb , but when I run sudo apt-get install upgrade from a new terminal, I get: E: Unable to locate package upgrade | 00:48 |
| histo | Joe_knock: sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:49 |
| Joe_knock | aah apart from the google plugin, success!!! :D | 00:49 |
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: that's because it's NOT, "apt-get install upgrade", it's just "sudo apt-get upgrade", but again, i'd use dist-upgrade if you want to upgrade everything (kernel included) | 00:50 |
| knkop | jellow, sorry, I was disconnected..we just talked about fsck running in recovery mode..it is still continuing..should I better leave it running and go to bed? :) | 00:50 |
| Joe_knock | zykotick9: Both machines run 12.04 LTS, so a full upgrade won't help. | 00:50 |
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: well, good luck with whatever-it-is you're doing... i obviously don't understand | 00:51 |
| kenj | zyk: he's not upgrading his distro from X to Y | 00:52 |
| jellow | knkop, how long has it been running and how large is your partition/s ? | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | kenj | 00:52 |
| ubottu | kenj: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 00:52 |
| kenj | zyk: he wants to upgrade his distro from X.0 to X.1 | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | !tab | kenj | 00:52 |
| ubottu | kenj: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:52 |
| knkop | jellow, if it's not checking the whole disk, but only the partition, then 100GB, and it's been over 15 min. | 00:53 |
| knkop | I think | 00:53 |
| Joe_knock | I don't understand why it is downloading the stuff :-/ | 00:53 |
| jellow | knkop, should not take too long to complete if you can leave it an hour or so , all night is probably excessive hah | 00:54 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: i use the exact method you describe to update two VMs, i first scp the .deb's from the source (first downloader) to the target's home, then SSH into there and move them into /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 00:55 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: I am following your instructions from previously :D | 00:55 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: on a run of my favourite "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" i see a download size of 0B/$total | 00:55 |
| daftykins | oh no! not past daftykins D: | 00:56 |
| knkop | jellow, thank you, I have an idea now :) | 00:56 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: I am attempting the sudo mv *.deb command, what type of output should I expect? | 00:57 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: so the destination system that has had the .deb's transferred to /home/username/ would run "sudo mv ~/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/" which would complete without output, then running the above update and dist-upgrade would function perfectly | 00:59 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: So I needed to run update as well!! | 00:59 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: yes indeed, because without updated package lists, your destination system doesn't know that the new versions placed in .../archives/ are relevant :) | 01:01 |
| dv310p3r | I'm running Ubuntu in Virtualbox and I'm trying to make it my primary OS. I've got my Mac home directory shared to the ubuntu guest. I'd like to turn that folder into my ubuntu home directory. How can I do that. The shared folder is in /media/sf_myusername/ | 01:01 |
| Joe_knock | sudo mv ~/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ is different to your previous command, which was: sudo mv *.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 01:02 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r primary OS? you should investigate dual booting | 01:02 |
| cfhowlett | !dualboot | 01:02 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 01:02 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: all it does is use an absolutely instead of relative path | 01:02 |
| daftykins | dv310p3r: macs can run ubuntu. why not install it natively instead of virtualising? | 01:02 |
| dv310p3r | cfhowlett, I've been on that mission for a few days now, dual booting isn't the way to go for me just yet. | 01:02 |
| Joe_knock | so if I say: sudo mv ~/install_files/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/, will this work too? | 01:03 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: ^^ | 01:03 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r noted | 01:03 |
| tomengland | is there any benefit to updating the kernel to 3.15 | 01:03 |
| tomengland | on 14.04 | 01:03 |
| dv310p3r | cfhowlett, daftykins so any ideas? | 01:04 |
| tomengland | only benefit i could see is to get access to the iwlwifi 7260.9 | 01:04 |
| zykotick9 | tomengland: do you have some brand new hardware that's currently unsupported by the default kerenel? if so, then possibly - if not, probably not. | 01:04 |
| Joe_knock | dv310p3r: Wubi is your next best option if you dont want a dualboot. | 01:04 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: if they're in that folder, yes | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | Joe_knock: wubi isn't a good suggestion... | 01:05 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r you're going to find it near impossible to make your VBox OS your PRIMARY os, as vbox always relies on the host OS to boot. In your case, no OSX = no Vbox. thus my suggestion to vbox. and wubi doesn't like OSX, nor is it supported any more | 01:05 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: yeah we don't talk of WUBI these days, it's akin to computer suicide | 01:05 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r "suggestion to dualboot" | 01:05 |
| tomengland | zykotick9: true, no not really. | 01:05 |
| dv310p3r | cfhowlett, I appreciate the advise, I really would just like to know if what I asked is possible / how can I do it? | 01:06 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r the way you've described it? VBox ubuntu = primary OS? nope | 01:06 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: wait, I am unclear about the actual command now. The first part of: *.deb is the host part, right? Then /var/cache/apt/archives/ is my destination folder? | 01:06 |
| dv310p3r | Really just need to know how I can make the shared folder in /media/sf_username/ my ubuntu home directory | 01:07 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r reasonably sure that's possible, but I've not yet played on a Mac. | 01:08 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: I know wubi isn't a great option, but it is convenient for the OP. then again, cfhowlett has indicated that macs dont play nice with wubi | 01:08 |
| zykotick9 | !movehome | dv310p3r | 01:08 |
| ubottu | dv310p3r: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 01:08 |
| dv310p3r | Doesn't need to be done on the mac, I'd need to do it in Ubuntu. | 01:08 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: indeed they do not, but we frown upon WUBI 100% as it's just such a nightmare to assist with when things go wrong... and boy do they go wrong :) | 01:09 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: it's a two step process. have you used scp on the command line much before? | 01:09 |
| jo-erlend | dv310p3r, usermod dv310p3r -d /media/sf_username, I think. | 01:09 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r see the !home factoid above | 01:09 |
| jo-erlend | dv310p3r, where dv310p3r obviously is your username. | 01:09 |
| Joe_knock | daftykins: This is my original SCP command on the updated machine: sudo scp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb client@hostname:. (something tells me that "." after the ":" is where I went wrong) | 01:10 |
| jo-erlend | dv310p3r, test on a new user to make sure. | 01:10 |
| kenj | dv3 edit your fstab and mount it there. | 01:10 |
| dv310p3r | jo-erlend, thanks. | 01:11 |
| daftykins | Joe_knock: hang on PM me, it's tough to talk about this one with channel movement | 01:11 |
| kenj | dv310p3r: I usually just mount it in a sub under my user home. | 01:11 |
| cfhowlett | dv310p3r personally, I wouldn't let my vbox files touch my host OS, but that's just me :) | 01:11 |
| dv310p3r | kenj, actually, that's a good idea. | 01:11 |
| Joe_knock | dv310p3r: Another option is "boot from USB", but for that too, it isn't meant for a perpetual linux install | 01:12 |
| jo-erlend | dv310p3r, it is also possible to use a physical disk as backing for a VM if you want something between dualboot and VM. But you have to be really careful if you do that so that you're not using the disk from both the host and guest at the same time. | 01:14 |
| jo-erlend | dv310p3r, for instance, I have a dualboot setup with Windows and Ubuntu and while running Windows, I can boot my Ubuntu install as a VM and then later reboot to the Ubuntu install in order to get the native experience. | 01:15 |
| jo-erlend | ... but as I said, you have to be really careful when you do that. | 01:15 |
| JimJones | could someone help to compile a custom header on gcc? | 01:16 |
| JimJones | i have the header.h in the same folder | 01:17 |

| rettop | hi | 01:18 |
| mojtaba | Is there anyone here who could tell me why should I use screen command when I could create new terminals in different tabs in ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| rettop | I'm on 12.04 LTS. Just opened my computer and my mouse is clicking things automatically just by hovering over them | 01:18 |
| Joe_knock | dv310p3r: As explained previously by some of the folks here. You can make 2 OSes live on 2 different hard-disks, but you need "grub" to be on the main OS, or something complicated like that. | 01:18 |
| rettop | and whatever gets selected , the system will open that up repeatedly. (hundreds, it seems) | 01:19 |
| rettop | I unplugged my mouse, keyboard, and put in a new wired mouse, and it does the same thing | 01:19 |
| rettop | i cant' click anything properly | 01:19 |
| dwxreaper | mojtaba: you could use screen so someone remotely could see what you type on the terminal | 01:20 |
| dwxreaper | or tmux | 01:20 |
| wheatthin | mojtaba, screen is used in situations where you need to switch to a different workstation and need to easily bring a background process to the foreground | 01:20 |
| zykotick9 | mojtaba: sidenote, personally i'd use tmux over screen, but YMMV | 01:20 |
| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, Thanks, to all those who really want me to dual boot. I spent two days trying. Between, refit, refind, EFI booting, GPT vs MBR, etc... I wanted to blow my head off. After finally getting 14.04 installed (after failing to get 12.04 installed) it was way to buggy on my Mac 9,1. There is little to no specifics about this model. | 01:21 |
| mojtaba | wheatthin: You mean I have initiated a terminal in one computer and then I can have it in another computer? | 01:21 |
| mojtaba | zykotick9: what is the difference? | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | mojtaba: don't worry about it, screen is fine :) | 01:22 |
| somsip | mojtaba: connect to server, start tmux, start long running process, disconnect. Connect later, reconnect to tmux, make sure process has completed. Rinse and repeat | 01:22 |
| dv310p3r | So, I finally gave up. Decided my next best solution would be to give 8 gbs and 4 processes of my laptop to the VM and see how that works till I can get rid of my SHITTY mac. | 01:22 |
| Joe_knock | dv310p3r: I feel your pain. Feel free to keep asking, as we'll all chip in to help you. | 01:22 |
| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, thanks. | 01:22 |
| kenj | dv310p3r: What's wrong with your OS X out of curiousity? | 01:22 |
| somsip | !ot | kenj | 01:23 |
| ubottu | kenj: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:23 |
| Joe_knock | dv310p3r: How much RAM are you using? :O | 01:23 |
| rettop | i think it might be hoverclick that turned on, but how can i turn it off without the ability to click anything??? | 01:23 |
| rettop | and it doesn't happen at login, only afterwards | 01:24 |
| rettop | so it's something ubuntu-related | 01:24 |
| daftykins | dv310p3r: silly question, but you were using the ISO with "mac" in the name, yeah? | 01:25 |

| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, got 16 total, giving 8 to the VM. | 01:28 |

| histo | rettop: the disability menu at the login screen maybe? | 01:28 |
| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, LOL. I guess it's all relative. | 01:29 |
| rettop | histo, what about it? | 01:29 |
| Joe_knock | with 8GB of RAM, the vbox VM could run smoothly | 01:29 |
| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, I just love the flexibility and ease of a PC. I can run Linux without any issues. | 01:29 |
| dv310p3r | Joe_knock, it is. | 01:29 |
| kenj | weird how Firefox is faster than chromium on Lubuntu. | 01:30 |

| tomengland | does anyone know why my cursor is stuck in the character insert, I can't click anything at all | 03:26 |
| tomengland | is there a way to "reset" unity, like resetting explorer on windows or finder on mac | 03:27 |
| tomengland | via terminal | 03:27 |
| redGod | is there a way to make customized install disk on windows the only stuff I find when I search on google is for doing it on ubuntu itself4 | 03:30 |
| Bashing-om | tomengland: -> setsid unity <- to reset unity. | 03:33 |
| Paulus68 | Goodmorning when I logged on to my system this morning I just get my desktop without any icons and stuff, when I logged on the guest session I got the message that my root is running low on diskspace how do I resolve this? | 03:36 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: Go hunting up what is consuming the disk space -> df -h , df -i , cd / , sudo du -sx * | sort -n , dpkg -l | grep linux-image . | 03:39 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: how do I get into terminal from logon screen? | 03:40 |
| The0x539 | Any way I could switch my lubuntu install from 32 to 64 with a couple conmands? | 03:40 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: try @ login screen the key combo ctl+alt+F! . | 03:40 |
| zykotick9 | The0x539: reinstall | 03:41 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: ctrl alt F1 I presume | 03:41 |
| Bashing-om | The0x539: Nope, to go to 64 bit, ya got to install as 64 bit. | 03:41 |
| The0x539 | zykotick9: I ran out of install media | 03:41 |
| zykotick9 | The0x539: then stick to 32bit... | 03:41 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: Yeah, hold all three to effect. | 03:42 |
| The0x539 | So you can switch distros with some repo tweaking, but not versions? | 03:42 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: can it be that dropbox is causing the problem? I uploaded 3 files not more then 100 mb last night before going to bed and this morning I couldn't logon? | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | The0x539: switching distros? that would be crazyness... | 03:43 |
| mud_bat | I have a computer running Ubuntu I think it's version 13.10. The wifi was disconnecting every minute or so and to get it to reconnect, I would have to uncheck "enable wifi" and recheck it. I'm trying to gather information but don't know what log files to read. | 03:43 |
| The0x539 | zykotick9: perfectly achievable craziness | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | The0x539: from what to what? | 03:43 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: Do not guess .. look ! - with the terminal commands provided. | 03:44 |
| The0x539 | zykotick9: arbitrary I'd think | 03:44 |
| zykotick9 | The0x539: you can't switch distros, you can't switch architectures... | 03:44 |
| * zykotick9 suspects you could debootstrap a different distro... but that's hardly "normal" install | 03:46 | |
| jschall | on 14.04: indicator-sound spontaneously crashed. rebooting doesn't help. I get these errors: http://pastebin.com/q7G9Fb27 | 03:46 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: If ya need help reading those outputs !pastebinit . | 03:46 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: ok second thing is that I can't even reach that machine over the network is that normal? I'm at work now and can't get a hold of my machine | 03:46 |
| * PrivateMethod waves | 03:46 | |
| The0x539 | zykotick9: When you finish, what's abnormal? | 03:48 |
| PrivateMethod | Does anyone have experience with Chrome in kiosk mode? | 03:48 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: No that is not normal. guess ya will have to be there phyically - see if the system has crashed (??). | 03:48 |
| * The0x539 revulses | 03:48 | |
| remuxa | hello everyone! (just checking since it seemed no one was on last time) | 03:48 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: even rebooting system doesn't solve that problem tried that before going to work | 03:49 |
| remuxa | i'm installing ubuntu using the minimal cd (space constraints on my pc) | 03:49 |
| remuxa | when i hit 'select and install components', a box is supposed to pop up with options | 03:49 |
| remuxa | such as "Lubuntu desktop", "DNS server", "FTP server", etc. | 03:50 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: In that case, we may have to boot to terminal via the grub boot menu, and see about getting an idea of what is not taking place and why. | 03:50 |
| remuxa | this doesn't appear at all when I use it: it just sets up the barebones | 03:50 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: or booting through a live cd I presume? | 03:50 |
| remuxa | is this a problem with the cd itself? or do i have to select any particular options? | 03:51 |
| remuxa | someone who has worked with the ubuntu installer, please help! | 03:51 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: One can, but Should not be that extreme at this point. | 03:52 |
| Paulus68 | Bashing-om: I know I have some large files on my disk so I could delete those through terminal just find it weird that I haven't been notified that I was running out of diskspace | 03:53 |
| mud_bat | which log file would contain information on wifi failures? | 03:56 |

| tom__v | I just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04.. not as smooth as I hoped, and eventually, I just had to do a clean 14.04 install. But nwo dejabackup is not working to restore my files.. | 03:57 |
| tom__v | I get a permission denied errory, but no details. | 03:57 |
| fernando__ | hola | 03:57 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall <-. | 03:58 |
| tom__v | by dejabackup is encrypted... but I don't get any prompt to decrypt. | 03:58 |
| Bashing-om | Paulus68: What I see most often in this case is /boot directory full with old kernels, we need to look with those commands and see what is. | 03:59 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: I have read this page, and it doesn't seem to help me. | 03:59 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: I Have slept a few times since I did the mini install .. best I recall the optiopn is "none" . | 04:00 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: So the dialog I had read about didn't exist? | 04:02 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: Gimme a bit to refresh my memory, will read the reference. be back soonest. | 04:03 |
| tom___v | I just failed to update from 12.04 to 14.04, so I did a clean install, and now I can't figure out how to restore my home dir using my dejabackup files. | 04:04 |
| tom___v | I'm getting an error message, "permission denied" | 04:04 |
| tom___v | Any suggestions? Anyone restored dejabackup to a new system before? | 04:04 |
| miguel | hi | 04:05 |
| tomengland | is there a notes text editor that will read google.com notes? | 04:06 |
| aaeon | can someone one help me with this error: checking for directory with kernel source... Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution | 04:06 |
| aaeon | or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel | 04:06 |
| aaeon | I need to figure out how to get linux-headers for 3.15 in that dir | 04:07 |
| miguel | hello there | 04:08 |
| aaeon | hey | 04:08 |
| miguel | do you have knowledge about clustering? | 04:10 |
| snardbafulators | I just need to know if my new business card's logo would be infringing on cannonical's trademark: http://i.imgur.com/eizzhMx.jpg | 04:10 |
| Moonlightning | My laptop isn't booting, something about a nonexistent initrd.img. The last shutdown was a normal one, with /sbin/shutdown, but before that I remember a notice in the MotD that /boot was nearly full. | 04:11 |
| Moonlightning | Also, I have unattended-upgrades enabled. I think it might be a failed kernel update. | 04:11 |
| Moonlightning | It's a PowerBook, though, so finding any alternate boot media is going to be tricky at best…I'm sitting at an Open Firmware prompt right now, anything I can do from here? | 04:12 |
| holstein | Moonlightning: try booting the older kernel | 04:12 |
| Moonlightning | …duh. *facepalm* | 04:12 |
| Moonlightning | Shoulda thought of that. :P | 04:13 |
| miguel | <Moonlightning> what distro are you using? | 04:13 |
| tom___v | I'm researching how to troubleshoot my dejabackup restore, and seeing downright scary reviews about this being a problem (https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/deja-dup/) | 04:13 |
| tom___v | I thought dejabackup was just a pretty wrapper around rsync.. | 04:13 |
| tom___v | but now I'm worried my inability to restore my files might be a deeper problem. | 04:13 |
| holstein | tom___v: try it and see if it works for you | 04:14 |
| Moonlightning | …oops, that doesn't work either. No such file as initrd.img.old | 04:14 |
| tom___v | holstein, i did it's not recognizing my backed up files.. I get "permission dened" | 04:14 |
| tom___v | and no details. | 04:14 |
| holstein | tom___v: whats not? | 04:14 |
| Moonlightning | miguel: Ubuntu. XD | 04:14 |
| holstein | tom___v: you can use sudo for permission errors | 04:14 |
| Moonlightning | Else I'd be asking in a different channel, dontcha think? :) | 04:14 |
| tom___v | the ubuntu backup utility "dejabackup" | 04:14 |
| tom___v | preinstalled with ubuntu 14.04 | 04:15 |
| miguel | your processor is amd? | 04:15 |
| Moonlightning | PowerPC. | 04:15 |
| holstein | tom___v: for the record, i have used it successfullly.. i also have had issues with it in the past. and had to configure it properly | 04:15 |
| holstein | !ppc | Moonlightning | 04:15 |
| ubottu | Moonlightning: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 04:15 |
| miguel | you've made an update? | 04:15 |
| tom___v | holstein, excellent to hear. | 04:15 |
| Moonlightning | holstein: yes, I know that. | 04:15 |
| tom___v | holstein, I don't see a lot of configuration options.. | 04:16 |
| holstein | Moonlightning: ok.. so you know its not officially supported then? | 04:16 |
| miguel | yes i already know. | 04:16 |
| Moonlightning | Does that mean I can't get help /at all/ here? >.< | 04:16 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: I am back, my memory is no btter,,, I do know that I did not choose any of the "packages" to install in that pop up. I still feel the option I chose was "none" but it likely is some other identification. | 04:16 |
| miguel | wait | 04:16 |
| holstein | Moonlightning: you can try.. but there is only so much that can be done... have you tried a live CD on the hardware? have you tried testing the hard drive? | 04:17 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: The problem is that the pop-up never popped up for me, so I couldn't select anything if I wanted or not. | 04:17 |
| tom___v | holstein, I select, "restore", and point to my external drive, and I get "Restore Failed" => Error creating directory: Permission denied | 04:17 |
| miguel | you can't boot right? | 04:17 |
| tom___v | maybe I need to launch with sudo? | 04:17 |
| holstein | tom___v: you can tru sudo to address permission errorys | 04:17 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: And I'm wondering what could be the problem, the CD or my installation options | 04:18 |
| holstein | errors* | 04:18 |
| holstein | !sudo | 04:18 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 04:18 |
| nightdemon666 | Hello everyone... Anyone with experience installing 14.04 on intel mac mini? | 04:18 |
| miguel | or are you getting a kernel panic? | 04:19 |
| tom___v | holstein, gotcha. I think we are on the same page. | 04:19 |
| tom___v | holstein, I'll try that now. | 04:19 |
| holstein | !mac | nightdemon666 | 04:19 |
| ubottu | nightdemon666: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 04:19 |
| holstein | nightdemon666: i used reFIT, though, i understand that has a newer fork.. | 04:19 |
| nightdemon666 | I wanst intending on keeping os x. Just single boot ubuntu 14.04 on mac mini with intel chips | 04:20 |
| holstein | nightdemon666: i used reFIT when i booted *only* ubuntu | 04:21 |
| nightdemon666 | You didnt delete The EFI partition? | 04:21 |
| holstein | nightdemon666: you can try what you like.. its all intel hardware, and nothing about ubuntu is preventing the installation of ubuntu on the hardware.. but i found i had issues on the few machine i had access to | 04:21 |
| tom___v | holstein, is "backups" gui the same as deja-dup on the command line? | 04:22 |
| tom___v | I'm wondering if I can use command line to restore | 04:22 |
| holstein | !gksudo | 04:22 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 04:22 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: Did you md5sum the .iso ? and what did you choose for an option in that first GUI installation screen ? (CLI installation [best of my poor memory]). | 04:23 |
| tom___v | holstein, thanks, I was not at all aware of that. Installing gksu now. | 04:23 |
| nightdemon666 | I have gotten all kinds of errors when loading the desktop. I deleted all partitions and set up the partition table as msdos. I tried the 64 bit version but it errors prompting me to select option 1 or 2 and then i cant type anything. I had to burn ubuntu 64 amd +mac into a dvd to get it to boot ubuntu :-( | 04:24 |
| newvirus | http://piratebox.cc/faq | 04:24 |
| nightdemon666 | I have it installed, but like i said, many errors... Ive wondered if its because i installed the amd+mac version on an intel based mac mini... Does that matter? | 04:25 |
| Cerratux | Excuse me <nightdemon666> what are you trying to do? | 04:26 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: For extra installation options, I chose the mouse support and lowmem. My locale/keyboard was en-US, I'm using a wireless connection, and I set up sda to have all but 500mb as a single partition. | 04:26 |
| tom___v | holstein, gksudo prompts me for the name of the app, but when I try "which Backups" I don't find anything. | 04:27 |
| tom___v | What is the app I'm launching when I click the Backups icon in ubuntu 14.04? | 04:27 |
| nightdemon666 | I installed ubuntu 14.04 amd+mac on an intel mac mini. I get all kinds of system error pop ups upon boot up to login screen, and then more errors when the desktop loads. I remember seeing an error that the installer crashed when i attempted the installation from live dvd. | 04:28 |
| nightdemon666 | Cerratux, that reply was directed to you... | 04:29 |
| tom___v | holstein, or more generally, how can I tell what the full path is to any app I am launching from unity's interface? | 04:29 |
| Cerratux | ok | 04:29 |
| Cerratux | look several errors can occur | 04:29 |
| nightdemon666 | What i want to know is, does it matter that i installed the amd64+mac version on intel hardware? | 04:30 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: Also I can't find the hash of the iso online for comparison with what I got. | 04:30 |
| Cerratux | forgive my spell, how much ram do you have on your mac? | 04:30 |
| nightdemon666 | I tried just the 64 bit (non-mac version) but i get prompted to selecting option 1. Or 2. From CD-ROM drive :-/ | 04:31 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: Never mind, I found it on a wiki page, and they're the same. | 04:31 |
| nightdemon666 | 2 GB Cerratux | 04:31 |
| tom___v | holstein, I think I"m on the right track with this info http://askubuntu.com/questions/130674/how-do-i-open-deja-dup-as-root I'll let you know how it goes. | 04:31 |
| Cerratux | well 64-bit is too much for it | 04:31 |
| newvirus | http://piratebox.cc/videos | 04:31 |
| Cerratux | you should try a 32-bit | 04:32 |
| Cerratux | ubuntu distribution. | 04:32 |
| Moonlightning | holstein: no and no, but I doubt it's a hardware issue. Are there even any Ubuntu livecds for ppc anymore? | 04:32 |
| nightdemon666 | Understood, but it gives me the option to upgrade ram further if i choose to go over 4GB in the future with 64 bit OS | 04:32 |
| nightdemon666 | I can, and i dont mind doing that... Do you have experience installing ubuntu on mac mini? | 04:33 |
| Cerratux | how is your sata configuration? | 04:34 |
| Cerratux | of course it must be ahci | 04:34 |
| grilo | br? | 04:35 |
| Cerratux | if your processor is intel, you must be able to run ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Cerratux | no matter what | 04:35 |
| nightdemon666 | Cerratux, i hadnt bothered to look into the sata config. Im very much used to running linux distros with out much problem. I ran an old crunchband distro from cd just fine, but i couldnt seem to boot 64 bit (non-mac) version of 14.04 | 04:36 |
| nightdemon666 | Its running, but like i said, with errors wanting me to send bug reports on. | 04:37 |
| Cerratux | so you already run "system testing"? | 04:39 |
| Cerratux | that aplication can bring you detailed information | 04:39 |
| aaeon | can anyone help me with the following error running the command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 04:39 |
| aaeon | Package linux-headers-3.15.0-031500-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 04:39 |
| Cerratux | it comes with ubuntu 14.04 by default | 04:39 |
| Cerratux | don't worry by the architecture of your cpu | 04:40 |
| Cerratux | don't worry about the architecture of your cpu | 04:40 |
| Cerratux | if you have 2gb ram should be enougth | 04:41 |
| newvirus | http://piratebox.cc/laptop | 04:41 |
| Bashing-om | remuxa: OK, also what pops to mind, are you sure you have the minimal version rather then the "alternate" ?? | 04:41 |
| tom___v | holstein, looks like my restore is now underway. Thanks for the help!! Karma point to you. | 04:41 |
| remuxa | Bashing-om: Yes, I am using the minimal version. | 04:42 |
| Cerratux | i have tried amd-64 bits on intel and run great | 04:42 |
| Cerratux | ubuntu amd-64 bit | 04:42 |
| Cerratux | sometimes happens that the graphic driver is not compatible with the video server | 04:46 |

| PrivateMethod | nikolam: I used http://www.google.com/chrome | 06:44 |
| vahid | hhhhaaalllooo | 06:45 |
| PrivateMethod | you know, let me give this a try... I'm going to try Chromium browser instead. | 06:45 |
| PrivateMethod | If this fixes it, I'm going to throw this thing through the wall. | 06:46 |
| nikolam | slingamn, I suggest you do fresh LTS install. I had problems with update, but yes, I usually set that in Synaptic in settings, what he should be checking to update to. | 06:46 |
| nikolam | PrivateMethod, then that is google's problem I suppose or try looking it inside ubuntu repositories instead | 06:46 |
| slingamn | nikolam: that's fair. nothing is broken with this system so i might just leave it as it is until 16.04 | 06:47 |
| PrivateMethod | nikolam: Yeah, I'm going to try the chromium-browser instead of straight up Ghrome | 06:47 |
| PrivateMethod | Chrome* | 06:47 |
| nikolam | chromium it more privacy-minded then google's chrome, it does not have some components, but they are made from same sources | 06:47 |
| PrivateMethod | nikolam: I read in a few sources that Google Chrome has issues with how it utilizes the GPU... | 06:49 |
| nikolam | At least on Linux, you Can get working Chromium in repositories of distributions. On other platforms, it is not such luck. | 06:49 |
| PrivateMethod | But I am not 100% sure that it'd be realted to my issue. | 06:49 |
| nikolam | PrivateMethod, I wouldn't know that, I use mostly Firefox and Seamonkey. | 06:49 |
| nikolam | But checking graphics drivers, won't hurt, too. | 06:49 |

| nikolam | slingamn, I have sort of good experience with LTSes. Just they also can have some bogus updates, but they last one day tops and most of the time it just works | 06:51 |
| slingamn | agreed. this is really low-spec hardware and i don't use it much, i picked ubuntu 12.04 to minimize problems and it's worked well so far | 06:51 |

| PrivateMethod | nikolam: It's all custom hardware. It all works out of the box (ubuntu install), but the manufacturer does not supply *nix drivers. | 06:54 |
| nikolam | PrivateMethod, they are sam sources, just google bundles more stuff in their. | 06:54 |
| PrivateMethod | nikolam: I appreciate the mention of chromium though... sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes/thoughts | 06:54 |
| nikolam | PrivateMethod, you need to force manufacturer to support Linux at least. This it 2014.. :P | 06:55 |
| PrivateMethod | If you saw this system, it might make a little more sense. ;) | 06:55 |
| nikolam | PrivateMethod, report it to google, anyway, it seems like they have problems with Ubuntu then. or something else :P | 06:56 |

| allstarsnorks2__ | Beldar. Yep, Ubuntu GNOME 14.04. Came here because no one at the gnome channel or the ubuntu gnome channel is responding. | 07:27 |
| nikolam | Sway, there it is saying "2D/3D Acceleration with Catalyst Only for * All RadeonHD 7000-series (aka Southern Islands) and RadeonHD 8000-series (aka Sea Islands) chips" | 07:27 |
| Sway | nikolam, Yeah i was reading that. | 07:27 |
| nikolam | So you won't get any acceleration without catalyst if thet is right | 07:28 |

| Sway | Totally okay with that. | 07:29 |
| nikolam | Sway, on the other hand, "Some RadeonHD 7000/8000 cards are actually rebadged" so maybe that is why open drivers are working ok | 07:30 |

| cfhowlett | dip it's not yet ready for prime time | 08:24 |

| Ben64 | gsagie: so you want it to not create a display but show the one you already had running? | 08:25 |
| gsagie | yes | 08:25 |
| Ben64 | gsagie: then you should use the built in tools for that, on 12.04 it's called "Desktop Sharing" | 08:26 |

| justanothernoob | Hello. I'm currently trying to install Ubuntu with the help of Knoppix. Followed all steps from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix. Got to the part where I have to copy files from /lib/grub to /boot/grub, but /lib/grub isn't available. Well, whatever. Edited grub.conf to include my HDD. Too bad, that my HDD is not to be found in /dev. Knoppix can see it, but Ubuntu can | 08:59 |
| justanothernoob | not. Why, and how do I fix it? | 08:59 |
| ikonia | justanothernoob: why don't you just do a normal install | 09:00 |
| ikonia | justanothernoob: why are you trying to install via knoppix ? | 09:01 |
| ikonia | that guide appears massibly dated and now very wrong | 09:02 |
| justanothernoob | because Ubuntu doesn't fit on a CD. and my DVD-Drive has problems reading DVDs. It always either crashes the installation or doesn't even start it at all. | 09:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Paulus68: press CTRL + ALT + F1 and you can run: sudo apt-get clean ,as a good start | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Paulus68: you could uninstall libreoffice so that you can login and get a GUI then clean up further | 10:06 |

| ActionParsnip | YamakasY: do you have files like /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 | 10:08 |

| Paulus68 | ActionParsnip: how do I remove these | 10:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Paulus68: and clean out more deeper dirs like firefox cache, or huge logs in /var | 10:11 |

| jdmf | gry: Thanks, that was my thought also, and saving local space is always nice. | 10:28 |
| KGM70 | LordNikon55, I beg to differ, and I know that your sweeping statement is made to cause controversy, but we all gave our likes and dislikes this isn't the forum for that kind pf statement | 10:29 |
| KGM70 | oops , anyway the gist is there | 10:30 |
| jdmf | gry: Another thing then - What about the requirement of some kernel-image header or sources. Would this require the source from mirror? | 10:31 |
| sveta | jdmf: I believe headers are installed, probably to let others do kernel system calls. | 10:33 |
| sveta | I mean, they're installed for everyone, not only developers. | 10:33 |
| jdmf | sveta: Sounds about right. And also having the kernel-headers in a seperate package as I can not remember the last time I used apt-get source PKG | 10:34 |
| jdmf | Thanks all. :) | 10:35 |
| sveta | jdmf: I think I didn't use apt-get source myself. I would start doing that, but I suspect that I am more into fixing bugs upstream anyway. | 10:36 |

| ikonia | hikenboot: that's just mounting the disks | 12:56 |
| ikonia | no problem there at all | 12:56 |
| hikenboot | No let me make it clear I am trying to repair the system | 12:57 |
| ikonia | yes, and it's not a problem to mount the disks and chroot into it | 12:57 |
| groszek | Hi. does anyone know how to set default filters for unity launcher? eg. i want to disable music, but enable calculator | 12:58 |
| hikenboot | but I would have to manually mount each disk as a directory then chroot into it right? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | hikenboot: correct | 12:58 |
| hikenboot | the simple chroot directions wont work am I correct...its more than that when its across multiple disks??? yes no? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | hikenboot: it makes no difference how many disks it's under | 12:59 |
| hikenboot_ | sorry ikonia got disconnected will happen again bad connection..can you attempt to answer my last question before it happens again? | 13:00 |
| hikenboot_ | sorry to be a bother | 13:00 |
| === max__ is now known as Guest33994 | ||
| ikonia | hikenboot: it doesn't matter how many directories/disks your root is made up of, it has no impact or chroot | 13:01 |
| awestroke | How do I get icedtea in chromium-browser? I've tried both icedtea-6-plugin and icedtea-7-plugin, by symlinking into chrome's "plugins" folders, nothing works | 13:01 |
| hikenboot_ | right but can I prebuild a /etc/fstab to do it? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | hikenboot: you can mount anything in /etc/fstab | 13:01 |
| ikonia | although why you want to do that, I have no idea | 13:02 |
| hikenboot_ | ikonia, simply because I am going to have to do this over and over again. | 13:02 |
| gebbione | hi all | 13:05 |
| gebbione | is there a good way to log all download request from a machine? for instance something like tcpdump to listen for requests to external resources? | 13:06 |
| awestroke | gebbione: for what purpose? | 13:07 |
| gebbione | i had a machine for which my hosting provider complaints that lots of data is being downloaded | 13:07 |
| gebbione | so i would like to get an insight in what might do that | 13:08 |
| gebbione | the machine is shared in the team | 13:08 |
| gebbione | awestroke, | 13:08 |
| awestroke | gebbione: check crontabs, you might have some infection | 13:09 |
| gebbione | no likely | 13:09 |
| gebbione | we have jenkins | 13:09 |

| Chaos_Zero | I was trying to install the sun gridengine package and some errors occurred. I think I fixed what was causing the errors, but even if I purge and install again, it will not give me the options screens that It did the first time I tried to install | 13:20 |
| Chaos_Zero | how can I reconfigure a package? | 13:20 |
| Grefor | dpkg-reconfigure? | 13:21 |
| Chaos_Zero | it gives one of the screens but not the rest... what I really want is to just delete all the options and start from scratch | 13:22 |
| six86 | hello. For a few systems we want to have a keylogger recording every keystroke made (research systems where a lot of people are working on, to have a log/diary) but for remote access with teamviewer the keystrokes are not recorded, is there another solution than logkeys that is capable of logging everything? | 13:22 |
| Chaos_Zero | anything stronger then purge? =D | 13:22 |
| Grefor | that i wouldnt know | 13:22 |
| Grefor | sorry | 13:22 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | six86: That's an infrigment of privacy, I recommend you desist | 13:23 |
| Grefor | i was about to say the same | 13:24 |
| six86 | ThePhantomPhreak: all people are informed and the keylogger will not be hidden at all. I feared that this would be the first answer I'm getting.... | 13:24 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | six86: People will feel obliged to agree since it's at their workplace. Still a massive privacy violation | 13:25 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | six86: Please do not use Ubuntu for such a purpose, it's contrary to the philosophy of free software | 13:25 |
| six86 | No it's not their workplace. These are isolated research machines. | 13:25 |
| six86 | I'm just looking for a solution for the described proplem we have, it's not about a ethic discussion. | 13:26 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | six86: Please read https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html | 13:26 |
| cfhowlett | six86 can't help you. sorry. | 13:27 |
| Grefor | uhm to be frank wasnt there a thing in ubuntu that would send all searches to amazon or something? | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | !unity|Grefor | 13:27 |
| ubottu | Grefor: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 13:27 |
| six86 | ThePhantomPhreak: I don' get your point... logkeys is GNU software, if not using for this purpose for what else?! | 13:28 |
| cfhowlett | Grefor still a FAR cry froma key logger | 13:28 |
| jellow | six86, There is xmacro ( apt-cache show xmacro ) , not sure if that would fit your needs. | 13:29 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | six86: It's intended for personal use, not for surveillance | 13:29 |
| Grefor | well atleast your keyboards work | 13:30 |
| Grefor | i cant get my layout right | 13:30 |
| six86 | It is personal use, it is simply very helpful to have a diary of the embedded research machine. It's not like theres browsing or mails or something. Just configuration and setting up... | 13:30 |
| six86 | but that's not what I want to discuss here. | 13:30 |
| m1dnight_ | cant you just use the hist then for each user? | 13:31 |

| Impossible | nethlek: strange, my bluetooth headset works and I just finished installing ubuntu... Only problem is the quality is terrible | 13:57 |
| nethlek | it took me a long time to even get that thing connected and even longer to have any sound come out of it at all, but static isnt what i was going for | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nethlek: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: try it, its free to try | 13:58 |
| nethlek | hang on, ill enter that into the terminal and copy&paste what happens | 13:59 |
| jellow | six86, I was playing around with it, works very well. (xmacrorec2 > record) then play back using (xmacroplay -d 60 "$DISPLAY" < record) | 13:59 |

| nethlek | gave me this link | 13:59 |
| six86 | jellow: It goes in the right direction. I just would have to find a way to have it running in background and the thing with the Stop Key is a problem because it can only be a single key. In my scenario i don't want to get the recording stopped if someone pressed the key | 14:01 |

| m1dnight_ | Let me google a bit | 15:10 |
| Beldar | grodt, Can you get to the actual issue? | 15:10 |
| m1dnight_ | archonel: so it is Python that gives you an error "too many open files" ? | 15:10 |
| grodt | I wanted to know what would be the best way for a user to load files onto an ubuntu media server | 15:11 |
| grodt | the easiest way | 15:11 |
| holstein | grodt: depends.. | 15:11 |
| m1dnight_ | something like ftp grodt ? | 15:11 |
| archonel | m1dnight_, exactly | 15:11 |
| holstein | grodt: locally with a filemanager, if possible would be fast.. ssh on a network.. depends on many factors | 15:11 |
| === asdofindia_ is now known as asdofindia | ||

| m1dnight_ | archonel: I'm not sure, but perhaps it's due to the user? | 15:12 |
| m1dnight_ | Have you tried running it as root? | 15:12 |
| m1dnight_ | (Im just guessing here..) | 15:12 |
| archonel | no | 15:12 |
| archonel | the user has the limit set to "65535" | 15:12 |
| grodt | holstein: m1dnight_ hmm the user would be typically a 50-60 year old who would not be familiar with ssh | 15:13 |
| m1dnight_ | hahahaha | 15:13 |

| grodt | its for owners of business jet aircraft | 15:13 |
| holstein | 17:00 < archonel> hello, need some help i have a software in python which is supposed to open sockets but it seems its being limited to 1024 .. this is your question? | 15:13 |
| m1dnight_ | that's the one | 15:13 |
| archonel | holstein, yes | 15:13 |
| red45923 | hi guys - looking for howto use mp3 files i have on my ubuntu box to make an audio cd that would play in a car etc something for a dumbo would be perfect :) | 15:14 |
| holstein | grodt: the user will have to be "familiar" with whatever method you intend them to communicate with the server | 15:14 |
| archonel | holstein, have any ideas ? | 15:14 |
| Beldar | !brasero | red45923 an app | 15:14 |
| holstein | archonel: sure. ask the creator/maintainer of the software | 15:14 |
| Beldar | !info braseo | red45923 | 15:14 |
| ubottu | red45923: Package braseo does not exist in trusty | 15:14 |
| red45923 | ah cool I have brasero already - so that does the trick? | 15:15 |
| holstein | grodt: why not just let them keep the files locally on the machine? whats the goal of the media server? i argue, introducing a server for that user may be overkill | 15:15 |
| archonel | holstein, its a custom software developed in python, which gives an error "too many open files" | 15:15 |
| Beldar | !info brasero | 15:15 |
| ubottu | brasero (source: brasero): CD/DVD burning application for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 3.10.0-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 148 kB, installed size 1063 kB | 15:15 |
| Beldar | red45923, ^^^^^ | 15:15 |
| holstein | archonel: sure.. ask the creators/maintainers for support for the applications | 15:15 |
| archonel | holstein, they say its an OS limit, that is why i am asking here | 15:15 |
| Beldar | red45923, heh, yeah you can burn cd's there | 15:16 |
| m1dnight_ | archonel: have you tried this: https://coderwall.com/p/ptq7rw | 15:16 |
| archonel | holstein, like somehow ubuntu is limiting the user to 1024 files | 15:16 |
| grodt | holstein: they have movies on laptop for exmaple, but want to load files on to media server so it can stream to wifi devices like phones and tablets | 15:16 |
| red45923 | thanks Beldar that is cool | 15:16 |
| holstein | archonel: ubuntu is not preventing or limiting anything in python | 15:16 |
| m1dnight_ | (mind that the script is run as root, so that's what I meant earlier) | 15:16 |
| holstein | archonel: are you meeting the requirements the creator has? | 15:16 |
| holstein | grodt: they can stream them from the laptop as a server.. but, you will need to show them *some* method to put the files on a server, or stream them | 15:17 |
| Beldar | red45923, I hit edit and turn off the md5sum check though, it saves time, at least on images. | 15:17 |
| archonel | holstein, yes i am meeting the requirements, but i se dint he pid folder for this app | 15:17 |
| holstein | grodt: ssh is a viable option.. ftp.. or samba | 15:17 |
| holstein | !samba | 15:17 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 15:17 |
| archonel | holstein, no more than 1024 files | 15:17 |
| holstein | grodt: all of which have a learning curve | 15:17 |
| grodt | cool beans thanks | 15:18 |
| archonel | holstein, its like somehow ubuntu is limiting the nr of concurrent files to 1024 | 15:18 |
| holstein | 17:17 < archonel> holstein, yes i am meeting the requirements, but i se dint he pid folder for this app - please try again with this sentence | 15:18 |
| archonel | holstein, sorry, i went into the PID folder "/proc/4695/fd" and using ls -l | wc -l many times, i could not see a number bigger than 1024 | 15:19 |
| holstein | archonel: you can ask in a python community as well.. or a general linux or programming community | 15:19 |
| archonel | holstein, i did and they blamed it on the operating system :) that is limiting the application form opening more than 1024 sockets | 15:21 |
| Blaster | Is there any way to sync music from Ubuntu to iPhone? | 15:21 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | archonel: They're correct, you need to set the limit higher | 15:21 |
| Grefor | is there a tool that can visualise keymaps? | 15:21 |
| Blaster | Why does it have to be so complicated to do so? I don't want to jailbreak my phone to do that. | 15:21 |
| holstein | archonel: test and confirm that it *is* limiting or not | 15:21 |
| red45923 | Beldar, thx for the tip | 15:21 |
| Beldar | Blaster, Like a auto sync? | 15:21 |

| ThePhantomPhreak | Blaster: iPhone compatibility is best with OS X, I suggest purchasing a Mac. Apple products tend to play nicely together | 15:25 |
| holstein | Blaster: i have used an ftp server on an ipad before to access data from whatever os i choose.. there are other applicaions, such as dropbox, that can do this for you, if you are comfortable using them | 15:25 |
| archonel | holstein, we are using twisted already | 15:25 |
| Blaster | I can access the data on the iPhone, it mounts like a drive, but when I drag music on there, it's not recognized. You have to use iTunes or something to sync it properly. | 15:26 |
| holstein | archonel: sure, friend.. just know that nothing in ubuntu is preventing you from running that application, and configuring your machine to use it, as you please | 15:26 |
| holstein | Blaster: correct. thats the agreement you have entered with apple. that you will use itunes | 15:26 |
| holstein | Blaster: they (apple) are free to release itunes for linux or whatever they choose.. but, they (apple) didnt promise you could use the iphone with linux/ubuntu.. you can find workarounds | 15:27 |

| archonel | holstein, well technically that is not true, ulimit or /proc/sys/fs/file-max can limit the number of open files, my question was more like are there any other places where a no pen file limit could be enforce in Ubuntu ? | 15:27 |
| Blaster | Half the time I plug my iPhone in, Ubuntu completely freezes :D | 15:27 |
| === Ludi is now known as Guest87956 | ||

| archonel | holstein, you are right :) | 15:28 |
| Blaster | holstein, thanks for the link | 15:28 |
| daftykins | Blaster: i would too if someone put an iPhone near me | 15:29 |
| archonel | holstein, so there are just those 2 places where the OS could restrict me from opening more files ? | 15:29 |
| blizzow | Does anyone else here have an intel 7260 wireless card and run 14.04? | 15:29 |
| holstein | archonel: what would i do? ask the creator what os i am intended to use, and grab a live CD for that OS, and try and get to the bottom of what *exactly* the issue is.. from that situation, i feel i would learn to use the app with ubuntu | 15:29 |
| holstein | archonel: ubuntu is *not* resctricting anything, friend | 15:29 |
| daftykins | blizzow: tends to be better to just ask the actual question | 15:29 |
| Blaster | daftykins, I guess you're allergic to superior hardware, and extremely intuitive software? | 15:29 |

| Beldar | blizzow, No comment on what you have tried, peruse here while waiting, http://askubuntu.com/search?q=14.04+intel+7260+ | 15:30 |
| archonel | holstein, if i have the "ulimit -n set to 1000" for user xxx running the app , that app will not opene more than 1000 sockets | 15:30 |
| ThePhantomPhreak | Blaster: If you like Apple devices so much, why do you not just use OS X with your phone? Asking genuinely, as I mostly use it rather than Linux | 15:30 |
| blizzow | daftykins: I've been pretty thorough with those threads. | 15:31 |
| holstein | archonel: i understand that you are reading that from the developer, but you and i do not know that that is the only issue, friend | 15:31 |
| archonel | holstein, the problem is that i have set it to 65k and still i can not get more than 1024 open files ( the app opens sockets to remote servers) and it seems i can not open more than 1024 | 15:31 |
| daftykins | blizzow: that wasn't me. | 15:31 |
| Blaster | ThePhantomPhreak, because I'm not really fond of OSX, I like iOS though. | 15:31 |

| holstein | blizzow: the ubuntu certified setup doesnt mean the manufacturer has promised linux support.. its just that a few volunteers have tried to make sure we konw about the level of support | 15:35 |
| archonel | holstein, in conclusion we want to open more than 1000 connections, and python gives us an error "too many open files" >> the developer said we should increase the Openfile limit in our OS, nothing specific | 15:35 |
| holstein | archonel: ask themm for something specific | 15:36 |
| holstein | archonel: nothing in ubuntu is preventing, nor, specifically able to arbitrarily facilitate support for that application | 15:36 |
| holstein | archonel: ask *specifically* what you are intende to do to run the application they support.. unless they do not provide support for the application | 15:37 |
| m1dnight_ | archonel: Have you tried the script I linked you? | 15:37 |

| Pici | !root | Soapy | 15:45 |
| ubottu | Soapy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:45 |

| blizzow | holstein: I did tack onto another bug report already. | 15:49 |
| holstein | blizzow: thats really the "Best" course of action.. if you can find a bug tracker at intel, i would use that as well.. as far upstream as possible.. even with debian if possible | 15:50 |
| Beldar | Soapy, You want to be aware tat ubuntu is not designed to be run in root, it's not debian and others that do easily, you can mess up permissions....etc | 15:50 |

| holstein | blizzow: sure. but, think of it like this.. the entire lts is *not* busted in any way.. its just that specific hardware (and other hardware, of course).. it could be that its just a revision of that hardware.. hardware suupport is challenging, and you were not promised linux support from intel | 15:58 |

| daftykins | Nixilus: the whole point of a package manged OS is to get packages where possible, sometimes you may find PPAs instead for packages you want though, yes | 16:02 |
| Nixilus | sorry for the detailed questions... i just dont want to be one of those ppl who just "use" ubuntu, I want to understand it better, especially because im trying to learn C... the hard way | 16:02 |
| Beldar | Nixilus, Ubuntu has multiple repos, not one, some may be on or off in your sources.list | 16:02 |
| cipher__ | i purged and reinstalled | 16:02 |
| daftykins | cipher__: if "apt-cache showpkg <package>" reports a specific version after "apt-get update", that's the version that'll go on. perhaps the priority order of your repos is wrong, or maybe the repo you added isn't right for your system. | 16:03 |
| daftykins | cipher__: you're aware that edits to sources.list are considered in the order they appear in the file? | 16:03 |
| Beldar | cipher__, ppa's and 3rd party repos and there apps are not supported here technically | 16:03 |
| Nixilus | to your knowledge Is Valgrind and glibc (valgrind dependancy) in a repository? I want to make sure not just missing something >_< | 16:05 |

| Nixilus | sorry | 16:05 |
| cipher__ | it doesn't even list 2.4.8 | 16:05 |
| blizzow | holstein: and daftykins, I'm not blaming the lack of HW support. I am also not saying the LTS distro is broken. I am saying there is something busted in the ubuntu methodology of releasing an "LTS" that has such a major regression in it. | 16:05 |
| Nixilus | im doing something wrong then | 16:05 |

| cipher__ | Beldar: well, i prefer mid engines myself | 16:06 |
| Beldar | cipher__, bicycle here | 16:07 |
| daftykins | blizzow: right, which is a claim you can't support because you don't know where the issue lies? | 16:07 |
| holstein | blizzow: but, the lts, and all other aspects of linux/ubuntu are open, and its open for the creators and vendors of the hardware to get involved and provide support.. which is what we are seeing more often.. at the end of the day, the creators didnt promise you linux support, so you must be comfortable providing it yourself | 16:07 |
| cipher__ | Actually, when i just installed (again), it showed 2.6.2 and 2.6.1 as installing | 16:07 |
| cipher__ | yet the shell is displaying 2.4.8 | 16:07 |
| daftykins | cipher__: likely it has installed under a slightly different name then | 16:08 |
| === SvenOostenbrink is now known as phoenixz | ||
| blizzow | daftykins: I'm pretty sure I know the issue lies in the kernel/firmware choice the ubuntu devs made. | 16:08 |
| daftykins | blizzow: firmware provided by intel you mean? | 16:08 |
| blizzow | holstein: the certification process is not something that I as the end user hardware purchaser can take part in. | 16:09 |
| Nixilus | so apt-cache showpkg valgrind will allow me to search the repos for the right package then | 16:10 |
| holstein | blizzow: when you bought that hardware, a company paid a group of professionals to test and provide support for a certain operating system.. when you decide to use a different, and unsupported operating system, you are taking that responsibility on | 16:10 |
| invincea_ | using crontab i want to just "visit" a url, would i do that? i have a script that needs to be run every few minutes | 16:10 |
| Nixilus | got it | 16:10 |
| Nixilus | cool | 16:10 |
| invincea_ | wget? | 16:11 |
| Nixilus | must have mis-spelled it the first time | 16:11 |
| Nixilus | >_< | 16:11 |
| daftykins | invincea_: or curl | 16:11 |
| iptable | invincea_, "just visit url"? | 16:11 |
| Pici | Nixilus: just using apt-get install valgrind will install it, or use apt-cache search valgrind to look for packages that match that. | 16:11 |
| Beldar | Nixilus, Open software sources and make sure you have the appropriate repos open. | 16:11 |
| iptable | invincea_, use wget. wget http://www.google.co.uk/ | 16:11 |
| daftykins | Nixilus: you can always use graphical package managers too | 16:11 |
| blizzow | daftykins: you mean the multiple working versions that exist at wireless.kernel.org? Yes, the ubuntu dev and release team had the opportunity to test with and choose a functioning version before releasing an "LTS". | 16:11 |
| holstein | blizzow: it can be a different revision as well.. which could have a different chipset.. the manufacturer would only need to release a different windows driver to support all the different revisions, and be compliant with the agreement they have | 16:12 |
| daftykins | blizzow: that topic aside, since it seems we can't sway you from your inaccurate opinion on who to blame... it's interesting that that card should give trouble as i believe system76 sell laptops with 14.04 64-bit installed with that card | 16:13 |
| Beldar | externalizing blame is a core value, it will not be changed here, stop helping them | 16:14 |
| Blaster | Anyone know of a video card that supports 3 video outputs and is well supported by Ubuntu? | 16:14 |

| philinux | SWAP - is there anything more up to date than this anywhere > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 16:17 |
| Beldar | philinux, what is your end goal? | 16:18 |
| daftykins | philinux: things in that regard don't change much | 16:18 |
| holstein | blizzow: i like the system76 idea above.. i would think, assuming that *is* the exact hardware revision, they (system76) would respond to an email about the device | 16:18 |
| iptable | blizzow, the card works, what is your exact problem? most people who complain about their wireless cards find at the end that the cards did not work well with their AP, changing the access point to another make/model resolves most people's issues (after hours of arguing that "it can't be that, works with my phone") | 16:19 |
| philinux | Beldar;~ daftykins Most machines have much more ram and larger disks than in the faq. It's well out of date now | 16:19 |
| blizzow | daftykins: you say I should blame intel, or the linux kernel devs for the LTS kernel and firmware choice when there are versions of the firmware and kernel that work fine? | 16:19 |
| Beldar | <Beldar> philinux, what is your end goal? | 16:19 |
| daftykins | blizzow: i really don't care who you blame, just as long as we don't have to hear about it in here. | 16:19 |
| philinux | Beldar;~ to find up to date info | 16:20 |

| iptable | is ndiswrapper still under development? | 16:21 |
| Beldar | philinux, Sounds like OCD swap is swap not much to really know to be honest. | 16:21 |
| holstein | iptable: AFAIK | 16:21 |
| iptable | intel 7260 with ndiswrapper then if problems otherwise | 16:22 |
| philinux | Beldar;~ peeps ask me about swap. I refer them to the faq's and they say but I have 8 gig ram etc etc | 16:23 |
| Beldar | philinux, 8 0r 1000 no difference in use | 16:23 |
| philinux | Beldar;~ there is if its a small ssd and they want to hibernate etc etc | 16:24 |
| Beldar | philinux, swappiness is probably the key here. | 16:24 |
| iptable | philinux, do you want to support hibernation on your machine? Then your whole RAM needs to fit in swap + some space for stuff that gets swapped out normally if not used for a while. Rule of thumb would be 1.5xRAM. So for 8GB RAM 12GB SWAP should be fine. | 16:24 |
| Beldar | philinux, well known equal to ram or slightly larger | 16:25 |
| iptable | philinux, alternatively, if you want to use SWAP for hibernation only, turn swappiness down to 0 and have swap the size of RAM (+ a few bytes just in case) | 16:25 |
| Beldar | iptable, 0 is not exactly correct | 16:25 |
| blizzow | iptable: I'm using multiple cisco aironet 2600 series APs connected to a cisco wireless lan controller. None of my connection issues happened until I upgraded to the latest version of ubuntu. After the upgrade, I can't even connect to an airport express access point. | 16:25 |
| tyrel_ | hello | 16:26 |
| iptable | Beldar, vm.swappiness = 0 The kernel will swap only to avoid an out of memory condition | 16:26 |
| lotuspsychje | tyrel_: welcome | 16:26 |
| Beldar | i'ts not that exacting at that numerical value it will swap still | 16:26 |
| tyrel_ | mucking around in ubuntu, not sure what i'm doing | 16:26 |
| iptable | blizzow, try ndiswrapper and report back. | 16:27 |
| Beldar | iptable, If you read up on this 0 is never suggested is all. | 16:27 |
| lotuspsychje | tyrel_: this is the right place for an ubuntu question :p | 16:27 |
| iptable | Beldar, well, 0 works on my laptop perfect. 16GB of RAM, I don't care about swap. having said that hibernation takes so long, I don't do that either | 16:27 |
| Beldar | iptable, Ah, works for you, cool, but do the research if you help here is all. ;) | 16:28 |
| lotuspsychje | iptable: ive set swappiness on 10 (for my ssd) | 16:28 |
| iptable | Beldar, researching and any OOM issues with swappiness are onloy quotes for 2.x kernels. none for 3.x where behaviour changed | 16:29 |
| iptable | lotuspsychje, I don't have ssd. It's a laptop with 1 2TB HDD | 16:29 |
| Beldar | mindless ego jousting geez | 16:29 |

| lmat | vnc goes very slowly between an host and guest. How can I speed it up ? | 16:47 |
| Beldar | I usually clean the screen and keyboard together and just spray lightly so I shut down | 16:47 |
| skinux | How come Archiver GUI always extracts to a directory, but extracting via shell can put a bunch of files mixed up with unrelated files? | 16:47 |
| lmat | In fact, it goes *much* faster between a remote computer (over internet) than it does between my host and my guest (vbox). | 16:47 |
| blizzow | lmat: use a wired connection on the same LAN? | 16:48 |
| lmat | blizzow: My two computers are in the same ... computer!! | 16:48 |
| blizzow | lmat: oh, well then... | 16:48 |
| lmat | blizzow: I have a vbox guest running Microsoft Windows, and he's the VNC client. | 16:48 |
| lmat | blizzow: I can't imagine getting much faster than that ^_^ | 16:48 |
| ana_ | iptable_, strange I went through session and startup already before to add chrome, which added the command "/home/ana/Desktop/chrome.desktop" but I restarted a few time and it won't auto start | 16:49 |

| ana_ | what's bin on? | 16:50 |
| Beldar | ana_ in computer /user/bin use the browse in start up to navigate there | 16:51 |
| lmat | ana_: he probably means "the bin one" ^_ | 16:51 |
| lmat | ana_: And he means /usr/bin ^_^ | 16:51 |
| blizzow | lmat: Are you using NAT or bridged networking for your VM? | 16:52 |
| lmat | blizzow: NAT probably. | 16:52 |
| lmat | let's seee | 16:52 |
| lmat | yup, nat, blizzow | 16:52 |
| Beldar | lmat, I meant bin on, it is a brower on so to speak | 16:52 |
| linuxuz3r | os es are so awesome | 16:52 |
| blizzow | lmat: you may want to switch to bridged and let your VM directly on your network. | 16:53 |
| blizzow | (if that's an option) | 16:53 |
| lmat | Beldar: I stand corrected! | 16:53 |
| lmat | blizzow: sure... there's no network though, the only communication is between host and guest (same computer) ^_^ | 16:53 |
| Beldar | lmat, Heh, not really an accurate description on my part, just figured it made sense. ;) | 16:54 |
| holstein | lmat: try setting up the other scenario that you prefer.. emulate it more closely.. | 16:54 |
| lmat | holstein: I'm sorry, what do you mean ? | 16:55 |
| Beldar | linuxuz3r, Do you have a support issue, that is what w do here? | 16:55 |
| Beldar | we* | 16:55 |
| holstein | lmat: i mean, if you are using vbox vnc server and some other client and its slow, but when you are on your network with other machines using "realvnc" and whatever else, and its faster.. setup the same servers and client that you seem to prefer and test the speed | 16:56 |
| blizzow | lmat: I thought you just said that communication was faster between your host and a remote computer over the internet? Which machine doesn't have a network? | 16:56 |
| lmat | I see. | 16:56 |
| blizzow | The VM or the Host? | 16:56 |
| lmat | I was trying to simplify things, but it just made them more confusing. Here's the *whole* story ^_^ | 16:56 |
| lmat | My colleagues work using Windows (over Lync, etc.) | 16:56 |
| lmat | I need to be able to share my screen (using Lync). | 16:57 |
| === felipealmeida_AW is now known as felipealmeida | ||
| lmat | I use ubuntu right now (14.04), and I have a Vbox Microsoft Windows 7 (running Lync) | 16:57 |
| lmat | When they ask me to share my screen, I start up x11vnc on Ubuntu, and realvnc viewer on Microsoft Windows. | 16:57 |
| lmat | I then share the realvnc viewer over Windows. | 16:58 |
| lmat | There is a huge lag getting the graphical data from Ubuntu to Microsoft Windows even though they're on the same machine. | 16:58 |
| lmat | However, once the data shows up properly on the Virtual machine, they see the data almost instantly. | 16:58 |
| blizzow | lmat: like I said before, try bridged networking instead of NAT. | 16:58 |
| holstein | lmat: i use something like nomachine | 16:58 |
| lmat | blizzow: Why ? You're thinking that latency will reduce with bridged networking ? | 16:59 |
| holstein | lmat: putting the unit on your network, using the bridged setup that blizzow is suggesting, will facilitate you doing the xame setup though | 16:59 |
| daftykins | lmat: NAT = CPU overhead, bridged = simpler. | 16:59 |
| daftykins | lmat: the problem is, this conversation is a lot more virtualbox support than it is ubuntu support | 16:59 |
| blizzow | lmat: I think the TCP routing might also be getting a little munged. | 16:59 |
| lmat | holstein: I'll take a look at nomachine. | 17:00 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: virtualbox is an official ubuntu package, why not talk here? | 17:00 |
| lmat | holstein: that doesn't look helpful ^_^ | 17:00 |
| daftykins | lotuspsychje: since the product has its' own channel that makes more sense, no 0o | 17:01 |
| lmat | blizzow: You know what, Just for you, I'll use bridged. | 17:01 |
| holstein | lmat: that? | 17:01 |
| lmat | blizzow: I can't fathom more latency using Nat over virtualbox, than the number of NATs that happen between me and Minnesota, etc.! | 17:01 |
| holstein | lmat: its actually quite a bit "faster" than vnc connections.. | 17:01 |
| reisio | virtualization is not a tool you should choose if you're concerned with performance :p | 17:01 |
| lmat | reisio: aye :( | 17:02 |
| reisio | holstein: what, spice? | 17:02 |
| holstein | virtualization, nor vnc | 17:02 |
| blizzow | reisio: tell that to Amazon AWS and any cloud provider. | 17:02 |
| reisio | virtualization: convenient, but inferior | 17:02 |
| holstein | reisio: i was suggesting nomachine, since its typically faster and more native feeling than VNC | 17:02 |
| lmat | There are basically two VNC sessions going on at the same time. One moving data from host to VBOX, and one moving data from VBOX to internet. | 17:02 |
| skinux | Does anyone use a small VM of Windows to run few apps that can't be reliably run under WINE? | 17:03 |
| reisio | blizzow: mmm, well they're more focused on abstracted hardware | 17:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nomachine | 17:03 |
| ubottu | Package nomachine does not exist in trusty | 17:03 |
| reisio | blizzow: than virtualized hardware | 17:03 |
| reisio | holstein: ah :) | 17:03 |
| lmat | holstein: I don't want anything native feeling :) I simply want to play a video of what I'm doing on my machine. No interaction. | 17:03 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: freenx would be in the official repos | 17:03 |
| reisio | lmat: I missed the beginning, whatcha want? | 17:03 |
| lmat | skinux: yes. | 17:03 |
| holstein | lmat: it will be up to you to determine if the suggestion meets your needs | 17:03 |

| lmat | reisio: My coworkers use Microsoft Windows (Lync, office, etc.). I need to be able to share my desktop with them over Microsoft Lync. | 17:04 |
| reisio | lync? :/ | 17:04 |
| reisio | either way, don't reinvent the wheel, just use a network share | 17:04 |
| reisio | be it via ssh(fs), or cifs, or whatever | 17:04 |
| blizzow | reisio: lmat is running a windows VM to connect to a vnc server session on his VM host. He's having latency issues connecting from his VM to the host. | 17:04 |
| reisio | blizzow: can't imagine why :p | 17:04 |
| lmat | reisio: So, I created a virtual machine running Microsoft Windows 7 running Lync. When they ask me to share my desktop (like video, they want to see me interact with my machine, etc.), | 17:04 |

| reisio | bwa: ohai :) | 17:05 |
| lotuspsychje | bwa: welcome | 17:05 |
| reisio | lmat: ah... | 17:05 |
| lmat | reisio: I start x11vnc on my Ubuntu host and vncviewer on Microsoft Windows. I then share the vnc viewer using Microsoft Lync. | 17:05 |
| reisio | ah | 17:05 |
| reisio | you may as well use rdp | 17:05 |
| reisio | since it's Windows | 17:05 |
| lmat | holstein: '"faster" if you need no interaction' Yeah, that might be good ^_^ | 17:05 |

| reisio | the host's screen | 17:07 |
| lmat | reisio: Can I create an RDP (mstsc, right ?) server on ubuntu? | 17:07 |
| holstein | lmat: the suggestions reisio are making are what i would be testing | 17:07 |
| blizzow | reisio: how would you suggest his VM connect back to his x11 session on the host? | 17:07 |
| lmat | reisio: no, no interaction from others. | 17:07 |
| holstein | !rdp | 17:07 |
| reisio | lmat: you can, but I'd need a good reason to, myself :p | 17:07 |
| lmat | reisio: They just want to watch me use my (ubuntu) computer over lync. | 17:07 |
| lmat | reisio: You're suggesting it, right ? | 17:07 |
| reisio | blizzow: I wouldn't ordinarily suggest that be done at all :p | 17:07 |
| reisio | lmat: ooooh | 17:08 |
| reisio | lmat: if you want one-click viewing, then use citrix or teamviewer | 17:08 |
| reisio | lmat: forget this VM guest nonsense | 17:08 |
| reisio | don't need lync for that | 17:08 |
| lmat | reisio: I can't insist they stop using Microsoft Lync. | 17:08 |
| reisio | you don't need to | 17:08 |
| reisio | citrix works with a simple website link | 17:08 |
| lotuspsychje | reisio: i also would go for 1 time teamviewer, then uninstall again if you dont need anymore :p | 17:08 |
| lmat | reisio: I can't insist they use anything else, either ^_^ | 17:08 |
| reisio | they don't need to "install" anything in the traditional sense, which is probably all they're concerned with | 17:08 |
| reisio | lmat: they're already using browsers | 17:09 |
| reisio | teamviewer doesn't even need to be installed in the traditional sense, either | 17:09 |
| reisio | nor citrix | 17:09 |
| lmat | reisio: I really think they won't think it's acceptable if they have to use something else... | 17:09 |
| reisio | lmat: why on earth? :p | 17:09 |
| lmat | reisio: team viewer is only gratis for non-business purposes. | 17:09 |
| lmat | reisio: yes. why on earth is right. | 17:09 |
| holstein | lmat: you can test with it.. | 17:09 |
| reisio | lmat: some things are simply not worth doing :) | 17:09 |
| lmat | reisio: These people can't imagine why on earth anyone would not use Microsoft Windows. | 17:09 |
| lmat | reisio: So I should quit? ^_^ | 17:09 |
| blizzow | reisio: lmat needs to share his desktop to coworkers via lync. teamviewer has some stupid time limits on sharing in the gratis version last time I checked. | 17:10 |
| reisio | well I think citrix is gratis on a general fremium approach | 17:10 |
| reisio | so try that | 17:10 |
| reisio | blizzow: nah | 17:10 |
| lmat | reisio: I'm quite sure they won't use citrix. | 17:10 |
| reisio | lmat: it's the same as going to a website and clicking 'yes' | 17:10 |
| lmat | reisio: They don't want to have to do anything. They want to just sit there, and bam, my screen shows up. | 17:10 |
| blizzow | plus asking all his teammates to switch tools to share desktops with him is kind of a reach. | 17:10 |
| reisio | yes, well, that is not a quality you should cater to :p | 17:10 |
| reisio | anyways | 17:10 |
| lmat | reisio: If I were running things, they would be different. It makes me want to cry. | 17:10 |
| reisio | you want to share ubuntu host from windows guest, via ms lync | 17:10 |
| lmat | reisio: yup :'( | 17:11 |

| lmat | reisio: I wouldn't have thought so! It takes like 5 seconds (or more!) to update the screen! | 17:11 |
| reisio | lmat: I haven't tested nx, but it'd probably be between that and xrdp | 17:12 |

| blizzow | lmat, what network card are you using in virtualbox? | 17:12 |
| lmat | blizzow: NAT. Does that answer the question ? | 17:12 |
| reisio | actually, I think the best way would be, again without any VM | 17:13 |
| blizzow | lmat, no, that does not. That's the type of networking. and as I suggested, you should probably try bridged. | 17:13 |
| reisio | just screencast and stream your desktop | 17:13 |

| lmat | I would have thought this would be blazing fast since it's not even leaving my machine!! | 17:14 |
| holstein | lmat: teamviewer has nice "in browser" options | 17:14 |
| blizzow | lmat: There are also options for network card type, EG: intel/amd pcnet/... | 17:14 |
| reisio | lmat: http://www.google.com/search?q=how%20to%20screencast%20live | 17:14 |
| lmat | blizzow: It says "intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop" | 17:15 |
| reisio | they won't care if you link them to a website with no clicks required | 17:15 |
| blizzow | lmat, try the virtio-net driver. | 17:15 |
| reisio | they might even be impressed | 17:15 |
| mirko | is it intended that i don't see any wired connection options within the nm-menu anymore? | 17:15 |
| blizzow | lmat: and like I said, try Bridged and get the VM on the same network segment as your HOST and clients! | 17:16 |
| mirko | wired connections are listed in the connection-manager and plugging a cable in triggers an dhcp-client | 17:16 |
| reisio | mirko: you have a wire connected? | 17:16 |
| reisio | ah | 17:16 |
| mirko | however how do i now manage profiles with static settings? | 17:16 |
| mirko | i'm in environments where there's no dhcp | 17:16 |
| mirko | even my wired connection profiles from the previous ubuntu version are listed in the connection 5~manager | 17:17 |

| mirko | reisio: thanks.. will try my best there | 17:18 |
| lmat | blizzow: I bet I *was* going over the internet with the stupid VNC data! | 17:19 |
| blizzow | lmat, what are the IP addresses of both the VM and the host? | 17:19 |
| reisio | mirko: not that you need to leave here, just FYI :) | 17:19 |
| mirko | reisio: won't :) | 17:19 |
| lmat | blizzow: I should have two adapters: one NAT, and one host-only for VNC. | 17:19 |
| reisio | lmat: doesn't matter, it's not worth doing :D | 17:19 |
| lmat | okay, gotta go get the phone charger! I'll be back in less than an hour :( | 17:19 |
| reisio | and VNC _will_ be slower than other solutions | 17:19 |
| reisio | it's all images | 17:19 |
| reisio | only way to make it similarly fast is to reduce quality | 17:19 |
| reisio | or make a huge buffer, defeating the purpose | 17:20 |

| Amy_Lu_Who | is there an application in the software center that allows one to sync and use google play store apps from their desktop? | 17:35 |
| genii | lucas_2014: It means Ubuntu can use Upstart, OR it can use SysVInit, but not both at the same time. You should choose to use Upstart as the default. | 17:35 |
| guideX | I see it wants a 64bit cpu, but then, this is a virtual box vm,and the cpu is 64bit | 17:35 |
| reisio | Amy_Lu_Who: not exactly | 17:35 |
| reisio | Amy_Lu_Who: you want to use google play apps on your desktop computer? | 17:35 |
| Amy_Lu_Who | I know there used to be one for Apple Iphonesd | 17:35 |
| reisio | guideX: I think it's saying you can have sysvinit or upstart, but not both | 17:35 |
| Dave77 | reiso: there are region blocks on some TV channels. just tried now.. says streaming not possible | 17:35 |
| reisio | guideX: which makes sense | 17:35 |
| reisio | Amy_Lu_Who: yes, there are emulators for both Android and iOS | 17:36 |
| guideX | oh hmm | 17:36 |
| reisio | Amy_Lu_Who: but it's not worth it unless you're going to develop something and make cash or glory, IMO :p | 17:36 |

| Megabyte | reisio, No ligature support, and it feels a bit akward | 18:20 |
| Joshun | reisiso: both, the changes made in chromium seem to have become merged into the current chrome version | 18:20 |
| Megabyte | *awkward | 18:20 |
| Joshun | ^I mean reisio | 18:20 |
| Megabyte | reision, to be more precise, it does have ligature support, but you have to hack it into the project file | 18:20 |
| Megabyte | reision, you cannot fine-tune the open-type features you want, though | 18:21 |
| Megabyte | reision, LibreOffice has graphite, but it stopped working after 4.0 | 18:21 |
| reisio | Joshun: sounds like your GTK+ or Qt is broken | 18:22 |
| reisio | Megabyte: which features do you want to tune? | 18:22 |
| Megabyte | reision, ligatures and choosing between monospaced and old-style numbering would be one example | 18:22 |
| Megabyte | reision, another is kerning | 18:22 |
| bprompt | Megabyte: so.... you want to use edit the Latex document which has a "creative commons" license.... and you want to modify but not redistribute or rebrand it... I don't see the liability issue.... sounds more like is for personal use? | 18:22 |

| fxn | I have a package that I did not install explicitly, is there a way to know which package was a dependency of? | 18:23 |
| Joshun | reisio: unlikely, occurs on two different installs | 18:23 |
| bprompt | Megabyte: I don't think there's a #ubuntu-legalese channel =) | 18:24 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, It's basically Ubuntu's quick-start guide. I'm translating it to Portuguese and updating it to include relevant information pertaining to 14.04 LTS | 18:24 |
| reisio | fxn: https://www.google.com/search?q=debian%20query%20reverse%20deps | 18:24 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, Going to #ubuntu-br, I also learned that the lead chanel admin and translator passed away last year | 18:25 |
| reisio | Joshun: if you say so | 18:25 |
| guideX | is there a way to speed up the ubuntu ui/unity? | 18:25 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, Cystic fibrosis | 18:25 |
| guideX | maybe by turning off the animations? | 18:25 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, Which is why the Brazilian Portuguese translation is stuck at 12.04 | 18:25 |
| guideX | i'm experiencing 30 second delays | 18:26 |
| Joshun | the weird thing is it seems to act independently of the window manager | 18:26 |
| fxn | reisio: thanks | 18:26 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, Since this project takes a bit of time (like updating "Mac OS X" to "OS X," due to naming scheme,) I think it's fair I distribute a paid version of it | 18:26 |
| reisio | Joshun: well, they are horribly authored applications :) | 18:26 |
| Megabyte | bprompt, I was thinking of R$ 20 ($10) for a 150 page guide, black and white | 18:26 |
| reisio | Megabyte: it's fair if you require money to survive :p | 18:27 |
| Megabyte | reisio, thanks for supporting me, reisio :) | 18:27 |
| Megabyte | reisio, Amazon has a self-publishing program, I suppose, so it would be cheap for me to go self-publishing | 18:28 |
| Megabyte | reisio, I'd have to calculate the price more precisely, but I want to set it as fair as possible | 18:28 |
| Megabyte | reision, it pains me to see the #ubuntu-br (Brazilian) channel is a bit neglected too | 18:30 |
| reisio | neglect is painful | 18:30 |
| reisio | Megabyte: r-e-i-TABkey | 18:31 |
| Megabyte | reision, I've disabled it on purpose :) | 18:31 |
| Megabyte | reisio, (Sorry) | 18:31 |
| Megabyte | reisio, I disabled it because I was miscompleting other people's names | 18:31 |
| reisio | why? :/ | 18:31 |
| reisio | Megabyte: go into prefs and set it to last-spoke order | 18:32 |

| Megabyte | reisio, ah, thanks :) | 18:32 |
| mickep | Hi, I just installed 14.04 on a new machine, and I got "skippings and crackings" when playing sound (music/video). I have tried the tsched=0 option in /etc/pulse/default.pa and also changing speex-float-0 to speex-float-1 (or 10) in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Any other ideas? The soundcard seems to be of intel type. | 18:32 |
| reisio | it's set to alphabetical or something | 18:32 |
| reisio | last-spoke is better | 18:32 |
| reisio | closer to irssi's, which is probably the best | 18:32 |
| reisio | mickep: you try lowering PCM? | 18:32 |
| mickep | reisio: yes | 18:32 |
| Megabyte | reisio, there's not an order there | 18:33 |
| guideX | any idea how to speed up the unity ui? it takes 20-30 seconds to do most things | 18:33 |
| Megabyte | reisio, I'm using hexchat, too | 18:33 |
| reisio | mickep: does it manifest when using 'aplay' directly? | 18:33 |
| Megabyte | reisio, Which is a nice fork backed up by Google | 18:33 |
| muoni | nice community (= | 18:33 |
| Doxin | is there some way to have a script run if a certain service stopped working? | 18:33 |
| mickep | reisio: never tried, hold on. | 18:33 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: what are your hardware specs? | 18:33 |
| bprompt | guideX: get an SSD, that should | 18:33 |
| Megabyte | reisio, Is there a text way to set this up? | 18:33 |
| reisio | Megabyte: I know, it should still have last-spoke as an option; the hexchat devs are goobers, but hopefully not that much | 18:33 |
| reisio | Megabyte: yeah.... min | 18:33 |
| guideX | AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.20 ghz, nvidia gforce gt610 2gb ram, virtualbox | 18:34 |
| mickep | reisio: aplay sounds even worse (it also continues for some seconds after I close it with ctrl-c) | 18:34 |
| guideX | 8 gb ram | 18:34 |
| kingbeowolf | anyone know a good conky script that displays system temps? | 18:35 |
| mickep | reisio: In, for example, spotify I can hear the songs. In aplay I heard only noise. | 18:35 |
| guideX | I also had this problem with 12.10 | 18:35 |
| reisio | Megabyte: /set completion_sort | 18:35 |
| reisio | Megabyte: /set completion_sort on | 18:35 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Has it been fine with previous versions then? | 18:35 |
| reisio | something like that | 18:35 |
| guideX | nope | 18:36 |
| reisio | Megabyte: #hexchat would know for sure | 18:36 |
| guideX | I usually use xfce, but it's slow | 18:36 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: May be virtual box. | 18:36 |
| reisio | mickep: sounds like parts of your system are configured to use pulse and parts aren't | 18:36 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Do you run other OSes in VB? | 18:36 |
| guideX | yeah | 18:37 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: And they work fine right? | 18:37 |
| guideX | they have worked good, it's only with ubuntu 9 and up | 18:37 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Interesting... | 18:37 |
| guideX | the ui has too many animations | 18:37 |
| mickep | reisio: Hm, it is a clean install, but with the home dir from previous installation. Are there any files in my home directory that I can remove? | 18:37 |
| guideX | is there a way to turn them off | 18:37 |
| Megabyte | reisio, strange... completion_sort is always set to 0 | 18:37 |
| guideX | also how do I scroll? the scrollbars are missing | 18:38 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Now that is strange.. | 18:39 |
| matrix3000 | hey guys | 18:39 |
| guideX | I see a scrollbar appear if I move the mouse near the right side, but when I click it disappears | 18:39 |
| guideX | I obviously don't know how to use heh | 18:39 |
| guideX | is there a way to go back to regular scrollbars? | 18:39 |
| matrix3000 | need some help here, trying to lock down only a specific user to be able to login from a specific host, but don't care about other users | 18:39 |
| reisio | Megabyte: 1 then | 18:40 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Do you have compiz eneabled? | 18:40 |
| matrix3000 | I know I need to edit the sshd_config, but not sure what to use | 18:40 |
| matrix3000 | cause I don't want to limit all the other users on the system | 18:40 |
| guideX | GuppyMan: I went with default install, I haven't changed anything | 18:40 |
| guideX | not sure about compwiz | 18:40 |
| reisio | matrix3000: #openssh | 18:40 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Go to system settings | 18:41 |
| guideX | ok 1 second.. or 30 | 18:41 |
| GuppyMan | Drat can't remember where compiz is... | 18:41 |
| GuppyMan | one sec | 18:41 |
| guideX | ok system settings is open | 18:42 |
| mickep | reisio: I'll add another user and try if sounds work for that one. | 18:43 |
| GuppyMan | actually, scratch that go to system monitor | 18:43 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: lets see what's eating your resources | 18:43 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: In system monitor | 18:43 |
| guideX | GuppyMan: another problem is, I can't find anything.. there used to be a menu in gnome with all my stuff, now I can't even find the terminal I'm bhaveing a hard time finding most things | 18:44 |
| DrGrov | Hi everyone. Is anyone using modelines in xorg.conf on 14.04 with a nVidia graphics card? | 18:44 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: So do you have the unity bar? | 18:45 |
| guideX | well yeah but it's useless, I have to wait 30 seconds per letrter | 18:45 |
| guideX | the animations are killing me | 18:45 |
| mickep | reisio: OK, noise is still there with a new user. | 18:45 |
| guideX | is there some alternate way to get to the terminal | 18:46 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Ok, do Ctrl + Alt + T | 18:46 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: This will open a terminal | 18:46 |
| guideX | ah ok | 18:46 |
| reisio | DrGrov: probably someone is :p | 18:47 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: type gnome-system-monitor | 18:47 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: And click on Processes | 18:47 |
| reisio | mickep: what's making the skips in ordinary usage, again? (not aplay) | 18:47 |
| fbdystang | Hi, my verizon wireless dongle stopped working a few months ago from some update to network manager. Is there a way to revert back to a previous version of ubuntu that did work? I am on 14.04, Thanks! | 18:48 |
| mickep | reisio: spotify, youtube (flash/html5?). That is what I've tried. | 18:48 |
| guideX | hmm most things aren't using the cpu, xorg is using 73 mb of ram | 18:48 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Sort by cpu, and if nothing is using a lot of CPU, sort by memory. | 18:48 |
| reisio | mickep: didn't you say spotify worked? | 18:48 |
| guideX | max cpu use is <10% | 18:48 |
| reisio | yes you did | 18:48 |
| reisio | mickep: what's making __**the skips**__ in ordinary usage, again? (not aplay) | 18:49 |
| mickep | That must have been a typo, sorry. | 18:49 |
| reisio | (not spotify) | 18:49 |
| reisio | okay... | 18:49 |
| reisio | so everything is making skips? | 18:49 |
| mickep | no application is working | 18:49 |
| reisio | okay | 18:49 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Try sort by memory. | 18:49 |
| guideX | max memory use is xorg, 73mb | 18:49 |

| The0x539 | KDE is amazing | 18:53 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Yes, unity didn't play nice with my GTX 560 either. | 18:53 |
| holstein | guideX: its more likey a lack of 3d support for your device | 18:53 |
| reisio | cheater: ohio | 18:54 |
| cheater | i've been doing do-release-upgrade and it was on the "setting up packages" step and it asked me what to do about a config file. i chose to start an interactive shell, during which i pressed ctrl-c. apparently that killed the whole process and it stopped setting up packages. how do i resume this? i'm afraid if i do anything at all my pc will not even boot up anymore. | 18:54 |
| guideX | holstein: just a gt610, nothing out of the ordinary | 18:54 |
| holstein | guideX: there are DE's that dont use 3d.. xfce, lxde.. | 18:54 |
| Istalantar | reisio: so you are saying, when i open the pdf once with a unix util the password will also be gone when i upen the file on windows? | 18:54 |
| holstein | guideX: "ordinary" doesnt matter.. either you have support in linux, or not | 18:54 |
| guideX | *shrug, ok | 18:54 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: I agree a lightweight interface is a good idea. | 18:54 |
| reisio | Istalantar: no, but if you regenerate it with a Unix util, the password will likely be obliterated | 18:54 |
| GuppyMan | guideX: Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc. | 18:55 |
| Beldar | cheater, get to a tty and run sudo apt-get -f install | 18:55 |
| fbdystang | Beldar: Thanks | 18:55 |
| holstein | guideX: its just misguided to say unity is the cause. .many use unity and it works as advertised, but, if your hardware cant to 3d in linux, you will run into performance issues with things that require 3d.. unity and gnome both use 3d | 18:55 |

| Beldar | Mailme45, 32 b it works means, in the live right? | 18:56 |
| Istalantar | reisio: ok, i'll try | 18:56 |
| guideX | holstein: I suppose, but it sure seems like it.. I've had this exact same issue on several pc's, in all cases, unity is just slow and barely moving.. i've to date never seen unity function properly | 18:56 |
| reisio | Mailme45: likely unrelated to the arch, just a little bug in QA | 18:56 |
| guideX | I don't know why ubuntu continues to use such an unreliable ui | 18:57 |
| Mailme45 | Oh sorry, type-o. 32 bit works if installed. | 18:57 |
| holstein | guideX: on everal pc's that dont support 3d in linux?its quite common to need to install a proprietary graphics driver for 3d support in linux | 18:57 |
| reisio | guideX: I do :) | 18:57 |
| Mailme45 | just 64 bit doesn't work when installed. | 18:57 |
| reisio | holstein: also on any other OS | 18:57 |
| holstein | guideX: the UI is not the issue.. you could choose to use more well supported hardware | 18:57 |

| Beldar | Mailme45, On either install did hit the install updates in install, or 3rd party tick? | 18:58 |
| guideX | lol ok, but i'm seeing this on various hardware, what would you guys recommend as hardware that would work with unity? | 18:58 |
| holstein | guideX: a machine from a seller such as system76 would be setup with ubuntu from the factory | 18:58 |
| bprompt | guideX: you're sorta generalizing your issue | 18:58 |
| * genii makes more coffee | 18:58 | |
| holstein | guideX: i recommend either using hardware that supports 3d with 3d required DE's, or something that doesnt require 3d if you dont have 3d support | 18:58 |
| reisio | genii: good idea | 18:58 |
| Mailme45 | Yes, I select install updates and 3rd party always. | 18:58 |
| guideX | I have 3d support, I"m able to play 3d games without issue | 18:58 |
| reisio | 3d is cute, but 99% of the time not actually useful | 18:58 |
| guideX | I've tried with gt610, gt640, gforce gtx 9800+ | 18:59 |
| Beldar | Mailme45, Okay just checking for differentials, not sure of a why in this. | 18:59 |
| guideX | all of these fail with unity | 18:59 |
| guideX | these are very common cards | 18:59 |
| holstein | guideX: maybe you are just having unrealistic expectations of the environment.. its not a goal of unity to support legacy hardware or provide a "light" environment.. it is the goal of lubuntu lxde .. and others | 18:59 |
| Beldar | Mailme45, Note I preface your nick when addressing you. | 19:00 |
| cheater | Beldar: thanks i'll do that | 19:00 |
| Beldar | cool .) | 19:00 |
| holstein | guideX: again, the "common"-ality is not the issue.. only linux support is the factor | 19:00 |
| guideX | two of those cards are far from legacy, and unity is also VERY far from light | 19:00 |
| Mailme45 | Elementary OS, 64bit works on same laptop | 19:00 |
| guideX | hoplstein ah ok | 19:00 |
| holstein | guideX: unity is not meant to be light. and not advertised as such | 19:00 |
| guideX | well ok, I guess I will try switching to something more functional, like xfce | 19:00 |
| Beldar | Mailme45, Very small support with them, and not relevant is all. | 19:01 |
| holstein | guideX: unity works as advertised here.. i choose to use other DE"s becuase i want other funcitonality | 19:01 |
| guideX | ah ok, well at least it works for you guys... | 19:01 |
| reisio | I think with enough effort you can still use unity-2d, but | 19:01 |
| reisio | unity is basically just the same as any DE with a panel on the left... | 19:01 |
| holstein | guideX: xfce is not "more funcional".. its different.. and you may prefer it.. and are welcome to try it | 19:01 |
| Istalantar | reisio: tried your command, but an error tells me i need a password, do i need to add that to your command? | 19:01 |
| guideX | I can't even get to a terminal in unity, i'd say xfce is way more functional | 19:02 |
| guideX | or probably gnome 2/3 also | 19:02 |
| holstein | !tty | guideX | 19:02 |
| ubottu | guideX: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 19:02 |
| guideX | unity is just totally crippled by its own animations | 19:02 |
| holstein | guideX: both gnome and unity require 3d | 19:02 |
| guideX | ah okl | 19:02 |
| reisio | Istalantar: maybe it actually is encrypted then :) | 19:02 |
| holstein | guideX: its working as advertised here on hardware that supports linux | 19:03 |
| guideX | I've unfortunetly never been able to see that holstein | 19:03 |
| guideX | for me, it's always basically non functional | 19:03 |
| reisio | Istalantar: try bursting it with pdftk, then cat'ing it back together | 19:03 |
| guideX | but good you can use it:) | 19:03 |
| holstein | guideX: then, try another alternative.. there are many. you can try a xubuntu or lubuntu or kubuntu live CD easily. or install those into your installation | 19:03 |
| guideX | yeah that's what i'll have to do | 19:04 |
| holstein | guideX: i dont use it.. i dont prefer it.. i just use what i prefer.. but its not a problem with unity | 19:04 |
| reisio | Xfce is very easily configured to resemble Unity | 19:04 |
| reisio | if you actually want Unity merely non-accelerated | 19:04 |
| guideX | I'm sure it's not, but unity is also not ready for prime time imo | 19:04 |
| Istalantar | reisio: well, 'qpdf --password=PASSWORD --decrypt infile outfile' would do the trick, i already tried that ... i just want to know how to use it for several commands at once | 19:04 |
| bprompt | heheh | 19:04 |
| guideX | with problems like this, they should yank unity and go with something that works on more hardware | 19:04 |
| reisio | compiz isn't perfect, but it's more likely that your graphics driver is buggy | 19:04 |
| holstein | guideX: why not? it works as adviertised here. and you are not forced to use it for your "prime-time" use | 19:04 |
| reisio | or your hardware is simply underpowered | 19:05 |
| reisio | in which case you wouldn't want to use accelerated graphics, indeed | 19:05 |
| guideX | hmm I didn't install any gfx driver, this is right out of installation | 19:05 |
| bprompt | guideX: A pessimist see the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist see the opportunity in every difficulty. ~~ Winston Churchill ~~ | 19:05 |
| mickep | Istalantar: you can use a for loop. | 19:05 |
| guideX | I'm not really sure about drivers | 19:05 |
| GuppyMan | bit of a git noob here, how do I go about installing a driver from here? http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_tree.git/about/ | 19:05 |
| reisio | Istalantar: ah :) | 19:05 |
| guideX | I would assume it would finsd the correct driver no? | 19:05 |
| holstein | guideX: thats why i suggest looking into that, since driver support *can* cause the issues you are reporting.. unity and gnome require 3d | 19:05 |
| guideX | ah hmm | 19:06 |
| holstein | guideX: "it" cant ship the appropriate drivers.. its not allowed | 19:06 |
| Istalantar | mickep: i just dont know how to make a loop, i'm kinda new to linux | 19:06 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have installed byobu, but the problem is that when I press F9, my desktop just become dimmer, and it does not show the menu of the byobu. Do you know what should I do? | 19:06 |
| reisio | Istalantar: what commands did you have in mind? | 19:06 |
| guideX | it should probably work in a reduced fasion without the animations until a suitable driver is found, I still see it as a bug | 19:07 |
| The0x539 | mojtaba: Does your f9 key on your physical keyboard hint at being a "brightness down" key | 19:07 |
| The0x539 | well, first, is it a laptop | 19:07 |
| guideX | no os should take 30 seconds to show a menu | 19:07 |
| reisio | guideX: yup | 19:07 |
| guideX | anything like that is broken imo | 19:07 |
| holstein | guideX: file it, then, friend.. but, it *does* pass thorugh to 2d as stated | 19:07 |

| holstein | guideX: its working as advertised here.. | 19:07 |
| mojtaba | The0x539: It does not matter where I am. In any software, F9 just dim my screen. | 19:07 |
| The0x539 | mojtaba: Exactly | 19:08 |
| mickep | Istalantar: I never used it, but maybe something like: for i in *.pdf; do qpdf --password=PASSWORD --decrypt $i $i-new.pdf; done BUT I'm not sure of syntax... | 19:08 |
| The0x539 | mojtaba: Are you using a laptop | 19:08 |
| guideX | holstein: ah ok | 19:08 |
| Istalantar | reisio: i thought of something with: find -name 'NAME' -exec , but that didn't work | 19:08 |
| mojtaba | The0x539: Yes | 19:08 |
| GuppyMan | Nvm, think I know what to do. | 19:08 |
| The0x539 | mojtaba: Does your F9 key have a small sun on it or anything? | 19:08 |
| reisio | mickep: Istalantar: might want "$i" instead of just $i, but otherwise should work fine | 19:08 |
| reisio | find would be even better | 19:08 |
| mojtaba | The0x539: No, it is for changing the sound. if I use Fn key. | 19:09 |
| The0x539 | how odd | 19:09 |
| The0x539 | Well, I'm out | 19:09 |
| mickep | reisio: I found a tip about adding a grub option, that might fix the sound. Will try when Mathematica and Dropbox file indexing are done :) | 19:09 |
| mojtaba | The0x539: When I press F9 the screen becomes dimmer and when I repress it again, it come back to the normal mode. | 19:09 |

| mojtaba | Hi, I have installed byobu, but the problem is that when I press F9, my desktop just become dimmer, and it does not show the menu of the byobu. Do you know what should I do? | 19:10 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know how can I change this functionality of F9 key? (it was by default with ubuntu) | 19:10 |
| reisio | mojtaba: fn+f9? | 19:11 |
| mojtaba | reisio: fn+f9 = increase sound | 19:11 |
| holstein | mojtaba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu | 19:11 |
| reisio | mojtaba: what makes you think f9 should do this thing you want it to do? | 19:11 |
| mojtaba | reisio: just f9: dim the screen. I guess the problem is with f9. It is like that in every application | 19:12 |

| mojtaba | holstein: I have this behavior in all applications. Do you know how can I fix that? | 19:14 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: I do not want my f9 make my desktop dimmer. | 19:14 |
| reisio | zergut: yes? | 19:14 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: that's usually bios-mapping, no app or OS-specific btw | 19:14 |
| zergut | reisio: it's just black | 19:14 |
| reisio | mojtaba: what makes you think f9 should do this thing you want it to do? | 19:14 |

| === joelwhitehouse is now known as ecdhe | ||
| reisio | mojtaba: why not? | 19:15 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: checked in your BIOS/uefi/setup screen? it'd have an entry can't recall exactly the spot, they're called "Action Menu Keys" I think, and you can disable/enable them | 19:15 |

| bprompt | mojtaba: they usually go by the name of "action menu keys" I think | 19:18 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: I don't have uefi. Where is the bios directory? | 19:18 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: setup, when you boot, where you set "boot sequence" and other configurations, BEFORE any OS | 19:18 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: You mean I should restart now? | 19:19 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: And what after that? | 19:19 |
| reisio | lot of computers don't show bios splashes anymore unless you press the magic key :p | 19:19 |
| mojtaba | holstein: How can override that? | 19:19 |
| holstein | mojtaba: the suggestion is, to remap in the bios.. you can also remap byobu to something that is not in use | 19:19 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: on a Dell I think it' be F2 to get in setup..... .look for the "action menu key" to disable them | 19:19 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: I know that, when I disable them, the fn key is not working anymore, right? | 19:20 |
| bprompt | or enable them, either way, they seem to be not what you want right now | 19:20 |

| holstein | mojtaba: i would refer to the byobu documentation.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu#Key_Bindings is where i would start | 19:21 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: hmmm well... when disabled, you NEED the [fn] extra key to say, set the brightness.... so instead of being F9, it'd require fn-f9 combination | 19:21 |
| holstein | mojtaba: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/49933/f9-key-with-byobu for example | 19:21 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: The problem is different. | 19:21 |
| bprompt | mojtaba: how so? | 19:21 |
| holstein | mojtaba: states, you can use byobu-config in place of f9 | 19:22 |
| mojtaba | bprompt: I am aware of fn functionality. With fn my F9 decreases sound. without fn F9 dims the screen (everywhere.) Although I can change the brightness with fn+F4&F5. | 19:22 |

| cipher__ | it still appears to be running according to ps | 20:01 |
| holstein | cipher__: i know what i would do.. that can be quite dangerous.. i would kill whatever or reboot and deal with package errors that can be there.. then, i would use screen in the future via ssh, so that disconnection doesnt break things | 20:03 |

| MaynardWaters | 15:03 < MaynardWaters> and I've added a few of the studio extras | 20:06 |
| MaynardWaters | 15:03 < MaynardWaters> I have this weird thing happen when I try to play movies | 20:06 |
| MaynardWaters | 15:03 < MaynardWaters> it gives me sound, but not the full sound of the movie | 20:06 |
| MaynardWaters | 15:04 < MaynardWaters> its as if maybe I'm only getting 2 of 5.1 channels or something similar | 20:06 |
| MaynardWaters | 15:04 < MaynardWaters> when i stream the exact same movie file across my | 20:06 |

| Beldar | Xasin, What I want to know is uefi and gpt partition info basically? | 20:07 |
| holstein | Nothing_Much: the process is the same, friend | 20:07 |
| Beldar | and if W8 is still there Xasin | 20:07 |
| holstein | Nothing_Much: you are welcome to update the wiki as you please | 20:07 |
| Nothing_Much | holstein: I'm confused about it | 20:07 |
| Nothing_Much | The fakeroot debian/rules thing doesn't do anything | 20:07 |
| MaynardWaters | reisio: sry | 20:07 |
| Beldar | Xasin, Is ell actually efi? | 20:07 |
| reisio | MaynardWaters: when you stream...? | 20:08 |
| Beldar | elf* | 20:08 |
| Xasin | Right, uhm ... I am not too experienced with Ubuntu right now, so for some things you might need to explain a little more, Beldar, sorry. | 20:09 |
| MaynardWaters | I'll connect to the main server hosting the files nad play them via vlc over the network | 20:09 |
| Beldar | Xasin, Sure, so this has or had a manufactures install of W8, conform if still and in these parameters. Also is Elf Efi? | 20:10 |
| lolek | hi guys, after one of the latest system updates (probably from saturday or maybe yesterday)... my system (12.04 ) has become unusable and it's slow like a snail. There is something wrong with the graphics I can see that right now when I type something .. piding is doing like 80% of cpu, compiz is doing 10% and /usr/bin/X is doing like 30% :/ | 20:10 |
| Xasin | Also, if that is ok, I would like to use a private chat for fixing this problem. That way it is a little easier for me to follow. | 20:10 |
| lolek | my machine is elitebook 2540p (intel graphic card) | 20:10 |
| Nothing_Much | The fakeroot debian/rules thing doesn't do anything | 20:11 |
| lolek | any idea what's wrong? | 20:11 |
| Beldar | Xasin, I don;t do private, and you want the channel to see this, we all watch and help each other here, this is a complex issue. | 20:11 |
| lolek | oh, btw I've got external screen connected to this laptop | 20:11 |
| Xasin | Alright. Well, if W8 means Windows 8, then yes. This PC came preinstalled with windows 8, and I let it update to the windows 8.1 version I think. I already have disabled safe boot, if that is important, and this Laptop has UEFI from my knowledge. How to check if ELF is EFI I do not know. ELF where the exact words on the error report. | 20:13 |
| RayS | doing a xfs_ repair, tried a couple of times and it seems stuck on Phase 5 - rebuilding AG headers and trees | 20:15 |
| RayS | strace doesn't show anything, but cpu on the proc is high. | 20:16 |
| Beldar | Xasin, You best option is to use this app on the live ubuntu and run the bootinfo summary no repairs and post it at the thread provided in this post. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917 | 20:16 |
| RayS | not sure whats going on and how to move forward | 20:16 |
| Xasin | Alright then. | 20:16 |

| Xasin | Right. One question: Should I just try the reinstallation of grub? After I installed the OS it did start fine. Only problem was that I could not use my Realtek WIFI, and a rather experienced friend told me to update the kernel, and how. After that I wanted to use grub customizer to change the names on the menue, and at that point it gave me an erro | 20:19 |

| cheater | that's the first command related to this that i ran right after pressint ctrl-c on do-release-upgrade. | 20:25 |
| cheater | *pressing | 20:25 |
| Beldar | cheater, You have tried to reboot right from your post you said it would not boot | 20:25 |

| cheater | no, i said i don't want to reboot, because i guess it wouldn't boot | 20:25 |
| cheater | i didn't reboot. | 20:26 |
| cheater | i ran do-release-upgrade, pressed ctrl-c, and didn't do anything else. then i did apt-get -f install and it's complaining about the lock. | 20:26 |
| Beldar | cheater, Ah my missread, how far into the setup was it? | 20:27 |
| cheater | i don't know anymore | 20:27 |

| cheater | what about ones not on freenode? | 20:33 |
| Beldar | cheater, nicks man, I think you only real option is the reboot to a tty and pray. | 20:35 |
| Xasin | Beldar, it also told me that EFI was detected, by the way. Would a reinstall with the standart EFI File do the job? Or would that now work out? | 20:36 |
| cheater | Beldar: i think your advice is not sound. | 20:36 |
| lolek | guys, any idea what's wrong with unity on dual screen? /usr/bin/X is doing over 50% cpu when moving only mouse :( | 20:37 |
| Beldar | cheater, Being fully backed up and or a cloned OS was your best insurance, always be prepared for any contingency. If you think it is not sound don't do it, honestly it means nothing to me. ;) | 20:37 |

| crc32 | ? | 20:38 |
| cheater | Beldar: if you have nothing constructive to say, spare me. | 20:38 |
| Xasin | Right, so should I try the repair tool with standart EFI File option checked? Or is that something not recommended? | 20:38 |
| Beldar | cheater, NO I am a regular helper here have been for years, and have around 12000 post on the ubuntu forums under the nick wilee-nilee, I am being honest with you, and if I was messing with you the others here would say something. | 20:39 |
| lolek | even unity 2d doesn't help.. only disconnecting secondary screen is working but it's not an option :/ | 20:39 |
| Beldar | cheater, I did, but you are clueless so best of luck. | 20:39 |
| Beldar | cheater, and welcome to ignore. | 20:40 |

| cheater | i have made some progress actually | 20:42 |
| coemah | hello all, for two days I have the problem that my recently installed system boots without a splash screen, that is, the commands flow across a black background. when it's done, the recovery menu appears, where I select 'resume to normal boot', and when the system boots this time normally, there come graphical oddities, like bigger launcher size with some icons missing, and a short grey screen just before the desktop loads at start. I am writing from this la | 20:42 |
| coemah | tter system now. how can I fix this? | 20:42 |
| subz3r0 | Xasin: no idea where the issue is. since i did not read it completely... but i suggest to save the boodloader and the partition table with "dd" | 20:43 |
| cheater | apparently this dpkg that's in my ps is the one launched by do-release-upgrade, and using strace i can see it's waiting for the interactive bash session to terminate. I seem to remember that the whole thing was inside screen of some sort. the parent process of that dpkg process is called "saucy". So now there is the question of how can I receive a terminal which gets output from that dpkg again? | 20:43 |
| Xasin | My issue is following error at startup: invalid arch independent ELF magic, to inform you, subz3r0. | 20:44 |
| xavierio07 | Hi, has anyone had any luck with unattended-updates... It runs fine but pulls down both security updates and package updates. I only want the security updates and I've configured /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to only pull down security upgrade. | 20:45 |
| cobracommand | how do I make a shortcut on the desktop to a .sh file in a folder that has permissions (owner create and delete, group access files, others access files) in ubuntu unity 12.04? | 20:46 |
| subz3r0 | Xasin: before you do anything, make backups all the time. just clone the MBR and the partition table | 20:46 |
| Xasin | Ok, luckily the boot repair can do that too. | 20:46 |
| subz3r0 | like: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=mbr_save bs=512 count=1 | 20:46 |
| subz3r0 | kk :) | 20:46 |
| Xasin | Alright, there we go. Backup if I need to. | 20:47 |
| infinmed | hi | 20:48 |
| Xasin | The option for the separate /boot/efi option is poiting to sda2, which, to my knowledge, comes from Windows ... Is that an option to change? | 20:48 |
| infinmed | http://tptp.cc/images/me_first_sanctuary.jpg fan photos! lol this was yesterday | 20:48 |
| Xasin | At subz3r0. | 20:48 |
| infinmed | erps what's the off topic channel | 20:49 |
| infinmed | i forget | 20:49 |
| subz3r0 | ahhhh EFI... | 20:49 |
| subz3r0 | Nevermind then! | 20:49 |
| subz3r0 | i did not work with it for now. and nope i dont even want to ;) | 20:49 |
| infinmed | I found it | 20:49 |
| Xasin | Right, that can help me a lot, can it ... So, anybody here with knowledge for these things? Or should I just try the repair? | 20:50 |

| leeyaa | hello | 20:54 |
| MagicSpud | histo just in case it wasnt working how would I enable this in ubuntu¿ | 20:54 |
| histo | coemah: what errors | 20:54 |
| leeyaa | if i add bash /path/script.sh to rc.local would it run on system boot ? | 20:54 |
| ozbrkx | histo: thats the problem I don't know the package name all I know is I installed it from | 20:54 |
| histo | MagicSpud: with power management settings | 20:55 |
| ozbrkx | histo: Addinitonal drivers | 20:55 |
| MagicSpud | configuration? | 20:55 |
| histo | leeyaa: yes if it's executable and it exits 0 | 20:55 |
| histo | ozbrkx: driver for what? | 20:55 |
| leeyaa | histo: only if it exits with 0 ? | 20:55 |
| histo | leeyaa: no errors | 20:55 |
| histo | leeyaa: and doesn't just hang open | 20:55 |
| coemah | histo: big launcher icons, a short grey screen before desktop first appears..but aside from that, as I wrote, it enters into recovery | 20:55 |
| ozbrkx | histo: Graphichs card (a.k.a. Atı Radeon HD 5830) | 20:55 |
| coemah | also some icons missing from launcher | 20:55 |
| leeyaa | histo: yeah it does exit 0 | 20:56 |
| histo | coemah: what video driver are you using | 20:56 |
| leeyaa | so i only need to make it executable | 20:56 |
| histo | ozbrkx: dpkg -l | grep fglrx | 20:56 |
| leeyaa | thanks | 20:56 |
| ozbrkx | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7654995/ | 20:57 |
| leeyaa | histo: so something like bash /mnt/hostopia_migration/software/xvfb_daemon.sh start should work yes ? | 20:57 |
| histo | ozbrkx: you can remove the fglrx-amdcccle-update and fglrx-updates packages | 20:57 |

| leeyaa | histo: doesnt matter, will it work? :) | 20:58 |
| histo | leeyaa: yes it does matter if that mountpoint is up or not when the script runs | 20:58 |
| Hornet | which as I understand it should be impossible | 20:58 |
| leeyaa | histo: it is local partition | 20:58 |
| leeyaa | it isnt nfs | 20:58 |
| ozbrkx | histo: E: Unable to locate package fglrx-amdcccle-update | 20:58 |
| leeyaa | or some network storage | 20:58 |
| cheater | ok, apparently it worked to kill that dpkg process, then run apt-get -f install, which aborted and told me to do sudo dpkg --configure -a. | 20:58 |
| leeyaa | histo: does it run before or after local partitions get mounted ? | 20:59 |
| coemah | histo, it is possibly this: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller | 20:59 |
| histo | leeyaa: why don't you copy the script somewhere sane and use it | 20:59 |
| leeyaa | histo: long story | 20:59 |
| leeyaa | will it work or not if partition is local | 20:59 |

| histo | leeyaa: it should work but what you are doing makes no sense and I'm sure there is a better way | 21:01 |
| coemah | coemah, yes, it worked first. after a short time from the system's installation, it began to give this error. | 21:01 |
| histo | ozbrkx: What driver do you plan on using? | 21:01 |
| leeyaa | histo: yes, there is. ill add it to init.d scripts next week. for now i just needed to make sure it will autostart in case system gets rebooted for some reason | 21:01 |
| coemah | sorry..histo, yes, it worked first. after a short time from the system's installation, it began to give this error. | 21:02 |
| histo | leeyaa: depends on what your script does and it's exit status | 21:02 |

| Hornet | trying to move/rename files from a dump directory into the proper place, on the NAS server | 21:12 |
| Hornet | indeed | 21:12 |
| Hornet | and mv works perfectly | 21:12 |
| Hornet | weirdly, the right-click nautilus/nemo command to move, also works | 21:12 |
| Hornet | but not cut & paste | 21:12 |
| histo | Hornet: if you are just moving files aroudn ont he nas why are you using sshfs | 21:12 |
| Hornet | because the network share doesn't share the entire computer | 21:13 |
| Hornet | and the drive I'm moving from isn't part of the share | 21:13 |
| Hornet | also if I had them mounted as two shares, it would move files unintelligently | 21:13 |
| Hornet | if they're via ssh, a move is just a rename | 21:13 |
| Hornet | not a download/upload | 21:14 |
| === kyle is now known as Guest60209 | ||
| Hornet | slightly different situation as the move is across drives | 21:14 |
| Hornet | but principle applies | 21:14 |
| histo | Hornet: probably has something to do with it being a tcp connection vs. udp but some network genius may provide more light on the situation. If you mounted both places via some other means, not using ssh it would probably work. | 21:14 |
| histo | I have to go though | 21:15 |

| PCPinjecti0n | Hey guys! is there a safe way to decrypt your home folder, during installation i decided to encrypt it and now i have an account-daemon error every startup...? | 21:17 |
| WilsonMathew | I am trying to install awesomewm in ubuntu 14.04. I did "sudo apt-get install awesome" but when I log out of ubuntu it doesn't let me choose the awesome desktop manager. | 21:18 |
| fbdystang | Hi, I ran into an issue a while back. Network Manager automatically disables mobile broadband, and clicking to enable it just goes away after connection attempt. Please advise. | 21:18 |
| WilsonMathew | is there something I should be doing to set this up? | 21:18 |

| PCPinjecti0n | Hey guys! is there a safe way to decrypt your home folder, during installation i decided to encrypt it and now i have an account-daemon error every startup...? | 21:22 |
| nnnmmm | PCPinjecti0n, Is there anything on there worth saving? | 21:30 |
| PCPinjecti0n | nnnmmm: just a few customization | 21:31 |
| PCPinjecti0n | nnnmmm: would it make more sense to start from scratch? | 21:32 |
| nnnmmm | PCPinjecti0n, of the OS? I just wonder if a fresh install since you have the error would be faster and more solid. | 21:32 |
| zykotick9 | PCPinjecti0n: fyi for next time, home folder encryption is "weak" IMO, consider FDE (LUKS) if you want security next time. | 21:32 |
| PCPinjecti0n | nnnmmm: you make a valid point. So i have a chrombook that i wiped and put an ssd onto it. Which os would run the best you think? atm i'm workin with xubuntu. | 21:33 |
| PCPinjecti0n | zykotick9: seeing as the previous gave me an error, i will do that next time. Thanks :) | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | PCPinjecti0n: pretty sure, ubuntu should offer encrypted-LVM as an option at install time | 21:34 |
| gru_ | I am trying (to no avail) to find drivers for an drivers HP U160 usb monitor | 21:35 |
| nnnmmm | PCPinjecti0n, Never had a chromebook, not sure. | 21:35 |
| PCPinjecti0n | Thank you guys for all the advice. Time to put it all into practice. | 21:36 |

| cheater | hi | 21:41 |
| cheater | is dpkg the only thing that do-release-upgrade does? | 21:41 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Well, 'dpkg' is the package management tool, 'do-release-upgrade' is the terminal command to upgrade to the next available release . | 21:45 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: right. my issue is that do-release-upgrade crashed. | 21:45 |
| cheater | so i ran apt-get -f install which told me that i needed to run dpkg --configure -a. | 21:46 |
| cheater | i did that. are there any other steps left? | 21:46 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Not good ! ..did you "sudo apt-get update/upgrade"before trying the do-release thing ?? | 21:47 |
| cheater | yeah i did | 21:47 |
| cheater | but that's not relevant because do-release-upgrade does that anyways | 21:47 |
| davidsong | Hi guys, does anyone else here have a really bad time with SMB shares and Nautilus? | 21:48 |

| Bashing-om | cheater: does "apt-get install -f " return any errors ? | 21:48 |
| mirto | ciaoo | 21:48 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: look'n at 4pHhDdUT . | 21:49 |
| boy_wanders | hello, I am having mouse issues with 14.04 LTS | 21:49 |
| davidsong | boy_wanders: what type of issues? | 21:50 |
| cheater | apt-get -f install exits without errors or dong anything. | 21:50 |
| boy_wanders | When I first boot into Ubuntu my mouse can only click on the top bar and the side taskbar, but not on windows | 21:50 |

| davidsong | cheater: "udev : Depends: libudev1"... and the version appears to be old. Can you force-update that one package? | 21:52 |
| davidsong | cheater: my version here is 204-5ubuntu20.2 | 21:52 |
| cheater | davidsong: what i just did was apt-get update libudev1... waiting for it to finish | 21:52 |
| cheater | how do you "force update"? | 21:52 |
| davidsong | ah okay cool | 21:52 |
| davidsong | that ought to do it, but use -f if that doesnt work I guess | 21:53 |
| cheater | note that apt-get update libudev1 actually didn't mention libudev1 ! | 21:53 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: " apache2.2-bin : Breaks: gnome-user-share (< 3.8.0-2~) but 3.0.4-0ubuntu1 is installed." suacy version is 3.0.4 .. where did you install from ( apache !) // "udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 204-0ubuntu19.2) but 204-2~raring+1 is installed." what release are you running ???? | 21:53 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: i was doing release upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10. | 21:54 |
| cheater | technically now i'm running 13.10. | 21:54 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Not good ! 13.04 is End-of-life .. did you change your sources to point to "old-releases" ?? | 21:55 |
| cheater | no idea? | 21:55 |
| cheater | there might be no way to check right now | 21:55 |
| cheater | ok. apt-get finished. | 21:56 |
| cheater | running aptitude dist-upgrade still shows me a huge conflict. | 21:56 |
| cheater | apt-get upgrade shows me: The following packages have been kept back: apache2.2-bin libapache2-mod-dnssd php5-dev ubuntu-drivers-common udev winetricks | 21:57 |
| jakemp | Is there any way to get ubuntu to not shuffle all of my windows whenever I add a second monitor? It seems totally random, but mostly it moves everything to one desktop | 21:57 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Houston, we may have a problem. let's look -> cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit <- and we still have to deal with too new versions as well as too old sources (yuk). | 21:57 |
| cheater | here you go Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/7655253/ | 21:59 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: look'n | 21:59 |
| cheater | not sure what you mean by "too old sources", 13.10 is neither EOL nor old.. | 21:59 |
| surely | jakemp, Do you want the second monitor to mirror the first, adding while running can be problematic in this way? | 21:59 |
| jakemp | no, I don't want it to mirror it | 22:00 |
| jakemp | I just have 3x3 or 4x4 virtual desktop/workspaces or whatever they are called | 22:01 |
| jakemp | and adding and removing a monitor reshuffles where I have them | 22:01 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: sources.list looks good .. so where is 'raring' coming from pastebin -> tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* <-. | 22:02 |
| surely | jakemp, Can you just hook the monitor and set it up, or do you always have to be adding it, not sure why your adding more than once | 22:02 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: that's because i just upgraded from raring to saucy, and the old package is the raring version... | 22:02 |
| cheater | libudev is still the raring version.. | 22:02 |
| jakemp | surely, it's a laptop. I have to remove the monitor when I move the laptop. | 22:03 |
| jakemp | like when I go to work, or come home | 22:03 |
| phallix | anyone know about alsamixer channel mapping for speakers? | 22:03 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Be that as so, we still need to insure that there are no existing sources fetches for that no longer in existence repository. | 22:03 |
| cheater | what it says exactly is: | 22:04 |
| cheater | udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 204-0ubuntu19.2) but 204-2~raring+1 is to be installed | 22:04 |
| surely | jakemp, Not sure, but it would seem logical to plugin the monitor when the computer is off set it up and party. | 22:04 |
| cheater | how can i modify what "is to be installed"? | 22:04 |
| lolek | ok, I can confirm that the high cpu load with compiz and x.org occurs only when I connect external monitor, no matter when I connect it | 22:05 |
| jakemp | surely, but that would require me shutting down the computer every time I move it, no? | 22:05 |
| jakemp | also, I don't always have a second monitor when I am out. | 22:05 |
| phallix | please, anyone speaker mapping in Ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| surely | jakemp, Why yes it would, my guess is your contingencies just makes this harder to fix is all. | 22:05 |
| lolek | so the question is what's wrong with x.org/ubuntu and dual screen? | 22:05 |
| phallix | i only get sound through subwoofer and only shows one speaker in alsamixer | 22:06 |
| jakemp | well, it wouldn | 22:06 |
| jakemp | 't be a problem at all if I just shut everything down. | 22:06 |
| lolek | ugh x.org 100% :/ | 22:09 |
| lolek | hmm I don't think it's normall that I7 can't handle simple unity :/ | 22:09 |
| cheater | i edited /var/lib/dpkg/status to point to the right version of libudev1. doing apt-get install libudev1 downloaded and installed the question udev is asking for. | 22:09 |
| cheater | apt-get dist-upgrade -u installs the new udev. | 22:10 |
| Xasin | Hello! Can somebody tell me how to activate a menu for GRUB instead of having to input the start command (Which is inconveniently long)? | 22:11 |
| phallix | please let me know if you can help with Ubuntu sound directing to proper speakers | 22:12 |
| lolek | Xasin: take a look at: /etc/default/grub | 22:12 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Making progress .. nowto deal with "gnome-user-share" . What is going on with "apache2.2-bin" ? -> apt-cache policy apache2.2-bin <-. | 22:12 |
| skinux | Is there possibly an app for searching repository that could be searched using more than one keyword to narrow down search results? | 22:12 |
| cheater | after fixing apache as well, aptitude dist-upgrade doesn't show naything to update. | 22:13 |
| cheater | i removed gnome-user-share since i don't use it. | 22:13 |
| lolek | skinux: apt-cache search keyword1 | grep -i keyword2 ? | 22:13 |
| Xasin | Right, lolek, I will. I wanted to use GRUB Custimizer, but it throws an error and doesn't let me set up the menu correctly when I want to save. | 22:13 |
| cheater | ok so i guess i'm now in the green | 22:13 |
| cheater | thanks for the rubber ducking Bashing-om | 22:13 |
| Xasin | So, you worked your problem out, Cheater? ^-^ | 22:14 |
| lolek | Xasin: well you can change it manually, but don't forget to run: update-grub after you finish ;) | 22:14 |
| cheater | yes, it took a long time | 22:14 |
| cheater | and it was an annoying problem, created by people who made ubuntu. | 22:14 |
| cheater | :( | 22:14 |
| skinux | Not exactly what I'm looking for | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: OK, there were 53 updates pending .. what now results -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- then we see about 14.04 release. | 22:14 |
| skinux | Maybe something that would narrow it down based on only package name, not description | 22:15 |
| Xasin | Right, I will, thanks lolek. I can use the commands which I can read throu GRUB Editor thou, can't I? I successfully started my PC with the commands. (But that is too complicated. That UID? Too long.) | 22:15 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: no new packages to install | 22:15 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: i'm not going to continue upgrading to 14.04 now... | 22:16 |
| cheater | i'll stay with 13.10 | 22:16 |
| cheater | one thing i need to do now is to figure out if i can reboot | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: If all runs clean now ,, I see no reason not to do the -> sudo do-release-upgrade <-. See what results. | 22:17 |
| cheater | no way | 22:17 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: 13.10 is EOL next month. | 22:17 |
| cheater | that's fine | 22:17 |
| cheater | i'll do this next month, perhaps. | 22:17 |
| cheater | it's not like my pc will suddenly stop working.. | 22:17 |
| cheater | right now i need to check if this thing boots up, and if yes, i need to get some sleep! | 22:18 |
| cheater | waking up really early tomorrow | 22:18 |
| cheater | thanks for the help Bashing-om :) | 22:18 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: OK .. suits me as you are fine as of now .. enjoy . | 22:18 |
| cheater | really appreciated | 22:18 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: I did nada, you did all the work .. lol . | 22:19 |

| skinux | Is pdftohtml package now inside poppler utilities? | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | skinux: try "apt-cache search pdftohtml" to confirm | 22:31 |
| cheater | hi! | 22:32 |
| sly33 | hi | 22:32 |
| cheater | sadly, the thing doesn't boot up :( | 22:32 |
| cheater | so what happens is that when i start it, there's this purple (?) screen with white dots and the ubuntu logo. it hangs on that. | 22:33 |
| cheater | i cna switch to tty and get on irc that way, but there's no desktop. | 22:33 |
| cheater | it stops booting before it shows the login screen. | 22:33 |
| cheater | one issue might be that i have mate desktop installed (version 1.6 iirc) | 22:33 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: mate, could be .. what results with the grub boot parameter 'text" replacing "quiet splash" to boot to TTY1, then see if you can start the GUI ?? | 22:35 |
| ekido | hi | 22:36 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: how would i start the gui? | 22:36 |
| cheater | as in, with what command? | 22:36 |
| skinux | I did try that, poppler utilities came up, but I'm trying to make sure it's inside that package. | 22:37 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: try as "sudo service lightdm start" . | 22:37 |
| cheater | hmm | 22:38 |
| ian__ | I'm trying to install some software, but I want to install the program to another hdd, because I don't have the space on my current one. Is there an easy way to do this? | 22:39 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: did that. it showed me the login screen, after which it went back to the tty. searching the tty's (pressing alt-f1 through f8) does not show me a graphical display. | 22:40 |
| cheater | HOWEVER, that login screen was different to the one i'm used to seeing. | 22:40 |
| cheater | iirc i replaced lightdm with gdm because that's what MATE wanted. | 22:40 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Let's make sure you are authorized to start the GUI -> ls -la .Xauthority , ls -la .ICEauthority <- should be "you" as group and owner . | 22:42 |
| Extensa5630G | cheater: Go on, I'm curious to know the solution with you | 22:42 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Nothing syas we can not attempt to start GDM .. -> sudo service gdm start <- . | 22:42 |
| cheater | doing service gdm start does not help - it dumps me to a black tty with a cursor blinking (tty 7) | 22:44 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: where should those files be? | 22:45 |
| Extensa5630G | cheater: home directory? | 22:45 |
| cheater | Bashing-om: in my home dir, .ICEauthority is owned by me, .Xauthority doesn't exist. | 22:45 |
| amzolt | Anyone answer a ClamTk question for me? | 22:45 |

| cheater | the issue is gdm not starting properly. | 22:49 |

| cheater | you can find it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7655449/ | 22:56 |

| bananapotion | Hello. When using the intel card (nvidia-prime) transparency doesn't work, on the sidebar for instance | 23:16 |
| atrioom | ssh-add refuses to add one of my private keyfiles. What could be the reason for that? ssh-add asks for passphrase and then nothing. Key is not added. | 23:16 |
| bananapotion | What could be the problem? | 23:16 |
| balleyne | atrioom, how are you verifying that the key is not added? | 23:16 |
| atrioom | balleyne: ssh-add yields 'The agent has no identities' | 23:17 |
| Bashing-om | cheater: Well, that was an exercise in futility "-rw------- 1 sysop sysop 156 Jan 19 08:49 .Xauthority" as my file has existed from Jan 19 // Ok a bit of poking (quickly) says "auth" has to create that file. | 23:17 |
| atrioom | balleyne: Thank you for answering btw! | 23:18 |
| atrioom | I desperately installed putty on ubuntu (isn't that shameful?) and it works perfectly with said keyfile. | 23:18 |
| finlstrm | putty = ikky. we have a terminal for that | 23:19 |
| balleyne | atrioom, hmm, and it's just that one keypair that it's not working for? (btw, you can use your keypair with OpenSSH without using ssh-add -- though ssh-add adds some convenience) | 23:19 |
| atrioom | Jep. I burrow my head in shame. | 23:19 |
| balleyne | atrioom, oh, wait... was the keypair generated with PuTTy or OpenSSH? | 23:20 |
| atrioom | balleyne: When I generate a key on my machine, ssh-add takes it. The private keyfile was not generated on this machine. Could that be the reason? | 23:20 |
| balleyne | atrioom, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2224066/how-to-convert-ssh-keypairs-generated-using-puttygenwindows-into-key-pairs-use | 23:21 |
| atrioom | uuuhhhh, that looks promising! | 23:21 |
| balleyne | atrioom, that might be it. I don't use PuTTy, but IIRC, PuTTy keyfiles are not in the same format that OpenSSH uses, can't just share them back and forth, need to convert | 23:21 |
| atrioom | balleyne: Well thanks a bunch! I'll try converting and see how it goes! | 23:22 |
| compnski | hey, I'm on Trusty Tahr -- can I go back from procps-ng back to procps? [I'm having trouble with keybindings in top] | 23:22 |

| Joel | in rhel you can remove a package from the db but leave ALL files in place, can I do that on ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| sly33 | ? | 23:42 |
| sly33 | you mean uninstall a software and leaving conf files for example ? | 23:43 |
| Joel | no. | 23:45 |
| jrib | Joel: you could but that's not recommended and why would you want to? I don't know how offhand | 23:45 |
| Joel | jrib, thanks, I'll google more. | 23:46 |
| jrib | Joel: I'd urge you to try to explain the situation you are in that makes you want to do this as there may be a better solution you haven't come across | 23:46 |
| Joel | You're not in a spot to suggest a better solution if you've never had to do it imho. | 23:47 |
| jrib | Joel: you haven't explained the issue. | 23:47 |
| L0uk3 | I just watched the ubuntu phone and tablet videos --sweet. They talked about native apps but did not show them. I assume you can launch a terminal and run shell code etc...? | 23:48 |
| Joel | jrib, you didn't read the last thing I typed. | 23:48 |
| jrib | Joel: if you want help, my advice is that you explain your actual issue. I'll leave you with that. Best of luck. | 23:48 |
| Joel | jrib, you didn't read the last thing I typed. | 23:49 |
| jrib | Joel: I believe I've read everything you've typed since joining this channel. If you stated your actual issue, then I may have missed it. Can you repeat it? | 23:49 |
| kg-irc | Does anyone know a good ufw log parser? | 23:50 |
| Joel | jrib, you didn't read the last thing I typed. | 23:50 |
| jrib | Joel: I'll take that as a "no" | 23:50 |
| Joel | jrib, you didn't read the last thing I typed. | 23:51 |
| genii | Joel: Not sure why you'd want to do this. But the way to mark a package as not installed but still have it installed is to edit the stanza for it in the file /var/lib/dpkg/status and change the line reading "Status: install ok installed" to "Status: deinstall ok config-files" | 23:51 |
| Joel | genii, thanks! | 23:52 |
| fizyplankton | is there a good ubuntu raid software that can convert a single existing drive into a raid 1 (mirror) array without too many side effects? i usually do raid through cmos, but my cmos doesnt do it | 23:55 |
| jrib | !raid | fizyplankton | 23:56 |
| ubottu | fizyplankton: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 23:56 |
| intok | What do I need if I want to get the Radeon VCE hardware transcoder working in 10.04? | 23:56 |
| intok | 14.04* | 23:57 |
| genii | Joel: Please note: If this package is a dependency of other packages which are already installed, when you update/upgrade next time you will get the "you have held onto broken packages" messages and update/upgrade will fail | 23:58 |
| Joel | genii yeah, won't affect me for my use case. | 23:58 |
