| arlequin | a friend of mine is having problems rurnning skype in ubuntu | 00:03 |
| Akiba_ | what part of unity was influenced by marketing | 00:04 |
| daftykins | arlequin: we can't really support it as it's a third party program, unless it's something major and obvious | 00:04 |
| daftykins | !skype | 00:04 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 00:04 |
| arlequin | skype in the terminal generates: Violación de segmento (`core' generado) | 00:04 |
| arlequin | I googled that problem | 00:05 |
| arlequin | and seems to be common | 00:05 |
| daftykins | segment fault, seems pretty major | 00:05 |
| Akiba_ | guys | 00:05 |
| edition | how do i get a soundfont from multiple zips? | 00:05 |
| Akiba_ | what part of ubuntu unity was influenced by marketing | 00:05 |
| arlequin | I beliave that is a problem with glib2 package | 00:05 |
| Akiba_ | anyone? | 00:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Akiba_: Influenced by marketing? Do you mean the "smart scopes" feature? | 00:07 |
| === bee is now known as Guest80806 | ||
| holstein | Akiba_: influenced by marketing? i mean, any development could have been.. and likely was | 00:08 |
| === stephanbecker is now known as mrfraggs | ||
| Akiba_ | im just wondering what parts were put in due to high user demand | 00:08 |
| holstein | Akiba_: *all* of it is based on a percieved or actual demand.. and trying to meet a goal and demand | 00:08 |
| Akiba_ | .... doesnt help much :( | 00:09 |
| holstein | Akiba_: its still a community here, if you want to have some input.. | 00:09 |
| holstein | Akiba_: i literally dont understand you question | 00:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Akiba_: The thing you must understand is that Ubuntu is a commercial, yet open-source, distro. | 00:09 |
| Akiba_ | im just trying to map out parts people like about each distro | 00:10 |
| Akiba_ | and mac/windows | 00:10 |
| Akiba_ | so i can create my own | 00:10 |
| edition | eh? | 00:11 |
| holstein | Akiba_: "likes" are just that.. opinions.. you are welcome to take ubuntu and make it your own.. | 00:11 |
| edition | Akiba: how extensive will your review be? | 00:11 |
| holstein | Akiba_: if you want to take a basic "poll" on what folks like about ubuntu, take advantage of the #ubuntu-offtopic channel.. | 00:11 |
| edition | thats not a fair test! | 00:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lol | 00:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Maybe y'all should try the Debian popularity contest | 00:12 |

| zend_ | 0exit | 00:14 |
| arlequin | I'm interested in libglib2.0-dev | 00:14 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info libglib2.0-dev | arlequin: apt-cache show libglib2.0-dev | 00:15 |

| arlequin | thanks SchrodingersScat | 00:19 |
| arlequin | I had seen that web page before | 00:19 |
| subz3r0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX29xcrHPtY&list=PLxE9uaKEBsfoK3W5QEzBOl35tjFeRFzEf | 00:19 |
| arlequin | but I have a doubt | 00:19 |
| arlequin | it says: sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number> | 00:19 |
| SchrodingersScat | I've not done that, can't speak from experience :/ | 00:20 |
| trism | arlequin: that is how you do it but only if previous versions are available in the repos, which is not the case here | 00:20 |
| subz3r0 | tha cat is d34d | 00:20 |
| arlequin | in my case, package-name is libglib2.0-dev | 00:21 |
| holstein | arlequin: you can always chase down older versions and force them.. its a matter of what is in the repos, and if an older version is not there, you cant fall back to it | 00:21 |
| arlequin | thanks trism and holstein ! | 00:21 |
| === Administrator is now known as Guest72401 | ||
| mark06 | can anyone help me test something? when I pushed my package to the ppa and installed it, the dependencies chosen by apt were that of ubuntu not the ppa. I needed to perform an applications update for "finishing" the installation, so the dependencies were upgraded to the correct version... | 00:22 |
| arlequin | how can I brind an older version to my repo ? | 00:22 |
| mark06 | Would you test it please whether this is reproducible? Please add the ppa "ppa:renatosilva/ppa" and install pidgin, then check in about dialog if both pidgin and libpurple version are suffixed with RS137. Thanks in advance! | 00:22 |
| holstein | arlequin: you cant | 00:22 |
| basementcomputer | does anyone know how to install broadcom bcm4306 driver | 00:22 |
| holstein | arlequin: you would locate, and force an older version *outside* the suggested and supported repo | 00:22 |

| arlequin | downloading a previos version from the internet ? | 00:23 |
| SchrodingersScat | !dpkg | arlequin | 00:23 |

| tomreyn | zgrep works with gzip, not (info)zip | 00:44 |
| DanaG | I'm trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't boot in ESXi. I'm getting "unable to mount root fs".... but the real problem is that "break=top", which should drop me into busybox, is not doing so. | 00:45 |
| edition | in windows, im used to typing in dir "general*.sf2".. i need grep equivalent... | 00:45 |
| voot | i've got a hurricane electric tunnel set up... ipv6 forwarding is enabled, radvd is configured, ip6tables are flushed and policies are accept. The server can ping6 google. Network clients get good IPv6 addresses. Using tcpdump, i can see that ping6 on a client generates a packet that makes it to the server and over the tunnel. Tons of return packets are sent back to the server, but none of... | 00:46 |
| voot | ...them arrive on the client. Does anyone know why this might happen? | 00:46 |
| holstein | edition: i think you are getting stuck on the command, friend.. try using something different to get what you seek.. use a GUI file search tool | 00:46 |
| DanaG | edition: try "find" -- find "whatever" -- but note that the quotes around the term are actually required. | 00:46 |
| holstein | locate.. fine.. whatever | 00:46 |
| edition | thanks. sorry for the persistence. | 00:47 |
| tomreyn | edition: to just list matching files in the current directory, use 'ls "general*.sf2"' | 00:47 |
| edition | ah. so should i extract all the zips? | 00:47 |
| edition | to make life easier? | 00:47 |
| holstein | edition: i missed where that was suggested.. but, that may be easier for you | 00:48 |

| tomreyn | not sure what you have there. a single directoy with multiple zip files and one or more of them is supposed to contain a matching file? | 00:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sharcho: Elementary is similar to Greybird, yes | 00:48 |

| InFlames | so why can't i login to the recover console, rip out the entire de and fix it all via command line? | 01:26 |
| InFlames | i can't get the recovery console to see networking as well | 01:26 |
| Ben64 | right, which is why i'm suggesting a reinstall | 01:27 |
| InFlames | which will cause me to lose unsaved encrypted data | 01:27 |
| InFlames | so no, not an option | 01:27 |
| Ben64 | then hook that up to a working computer, recover it first | 01:27 |
| InFlames | i can't get the passphrase... | 01:27 |
| InFlames | see the dilemma now? | 01:28 |
| InFlames | i can't recover without the key | 01:28 |
| Ben64 | yeah, you should be a lot more careful | 01:29 |
| daftykins | another user ruined by encryption :/ | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | happens a lot | 01:29 |
| InFlames | hind sight is 20/20 | 01:29 |
| daftykins | indeed! | 01:29 |
| InFlames | this is still fixable | 01:29 |
| InFlames | i just need to stop having everyone tell me to reformat | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | without the key you're never going to get in | 01:29 |
| InFlames | i have the password | 01:29 |
| InFlames | simply not the key for recovery | 01:29 |
| InFlames | so if i can get in, i can do ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase | 01:29 |
| InFlames | and we're all good | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | why can't you do that from another computer or a livecd? | 01:30 |
| InFlames | explain how and i will do it right now | 01:30 |
| InFlames | that's what i'm trying to ask | 01:30 |
| InFlames | HOW | 01:30 |
| Ben64 | well you can run encryptfs-unwrap-passphrase from a livecd | 01:30 |
| InFlames | as i also said, fdisk -l claims the partition has an invalid table | 01:30 |
| Ben64 | just have to install the package | 01:30 |
| InFlames | but that would run against the live cd's key, no? | 01:31 |
| InFlames | how do i tell it which partition? | 01:31 |
| Ben64 | i don't use encryption | 01:32 |
| InFlames | ... | 01:32 |
| InFlames | that's unrelated, unless your full statement is "i don't know, i don't use encryption" | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | you're the one who uses it, you should know the syntax of that command | 01:33 |
| InFlames | and now we get to the point | 01:33 |
| InFlames | "i don't know" | 01:33 |
| InFlames | that's a simple answer, isn't it? | 01:33 |
| InFlames | not blaming me for asking for help in a tech channel | 01:33 |
| daftykins | InFlames: i'd ask you to take a moment and calm down please | 01:33 |
| InFlames | i'm completely calm | 01:34 |
| InFlames | i just don't find "reformat" and "i don't use that" helpful | 01:34 |
| Ben64 | you wanted to find a way to run that, and i gave you a method | 01:34 |
| InFlames | you gave me nothing ben, be honest | 01:34 |
| InFlames | i even said i can use that before | 01:34 |
| InFlames | from live cd | 01:34 |
| InFlames | then said "figure it out yourself" | 01:34 |
| InFlames | which again isn't helpful | 01:34 |
| edition | ouch | 01:34 |
| InFlames | i am fine with doing that however | 01:34 |
| Ben64 | then please do | 01:34 |
| InFlames | so i will figure it out myself | 01:35 |
| Ben64 | come back here if your attitude improves | 01:35 |
| edition | domestic | 01:35 |
| InFlames | improves... | 01:35 |
| daftykins | if only there were some kind of globally accessible repository of knowledge wherein, armed with the beginnings of information, answers could be found | 01:35 |
| InFlames | try actually being useful | 01:35 |
| edition | try wikipedia. its a start :D | 01:35 |
| InFlames | daftykins, you honestly think i'm here before spending a day searching the internet? | 01:35 |
| daftykins | InFlames: i don't like your attitude, buck up or you are going to be ignored. | 01:35 |
| InFlames | i don't like people pretending to be useful but generally just being condescending | 01:36 |
| edition | i agree | 01:36 |
| InFlames | my attitude is a reflection of the attitude towards me | 01:36 |
| daftykins | that's lovely, but having a great big rant about that is beyond the scope of this volunteer-run channel | 01:36 |
| edition | but isn't this off topic? | 01:36 |
| Ben64 | indeed it is, edition | 01:36 |
| daftykins | InFlames: you are very welcome to request a refund | 01:36 |
| InFlames | lol | 01:36 |
| InFlames | whatever | 01:37 |
| edition | $0.000 to the sum of Zero Dollars and Zero Cents | 01:37 |
| InFlames | i wanted someone with half an idea to chime in | 01:37 |
| InFlames | not someone telling me to reformat | 01:37 |
| daftykins | and the best way to do that was to be rude to someone assisting, nice move | 01:37 |
| InFlames | who was rude first | 01:37 |
| daftykins | right, let's get back on topic. | 01:37 |
| edition | ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha | 01:37 |
| daftykins | forget all that has come before. | 01:37 |
| daftykins | edition: do you have a question? | 01:38 |
| edition | i solved it by using unzip '*.zip'. it worked! | 01:38 |
| edition | then ls *.sf2 | 01:38 |
| edition | yes. Which IDE is best? | 01:38 |
| holstein | InFlames: i think you are, and rightfully so, quite frustrated to begin with. but the system encryption like that is made to not be able to be gotten around | 01:39 |
| daftykins | edition: there is no best. IDE's are typically suited to given languages | 01:39 |
| InFlames | holstein, i know it's not, all i need to do is get ubuntu to boot and i can recover the passphrase and be done with it, reformat and have my data | 01:40 |
| daftykins | programming advice is beyond the scope of this channel. | 01:40 |
| neil0mac | I am looking for info on how to setup Ububtu on a HDD on an external USB. (Win 8.1 on a lappie.) | 01:40 |
| edition | alright. ive heard people use IDE's in Ubuntu for their day job... | 01:40 |
| InFlames | but i need to get ubuntu to boot, and right now, due to whatever i did with the login, it doesn't, is there a log i could check, several logs? dozens? i will check | 01:40 |
| holstein | InFlames: if you dont have the passphrase, you should be locked out | 01:40 |
| edition | time to put the Black Hat on your head | 01:41 |
| InFlames | holstein, let's clarify passphrase from password, password is to login, passphrase is to decrypt to save the data, i have the password | 01:41 |
| holstein | InFlames: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword still works, but not without a passphrase | 01:41 |
| daftykins | edition: stop the off topic comments and chat please | 01:41 |
| holstein | InFlames: sure.. its just that what you want *requires* both | 01:41 |
| mark06_away | tomreyn: the policy command says it's invalid, tried many forms | 01:41 |
| InFlames | it didn't require it every time i logged in? | 01:42 |
| holstein | InFlames: and the password is the one you can easily reset/recover | 01:42 |
| === mark06_away is now known as mark06 | ||
| InFlames | and i can get the passphrase if i login | 01:42 |
| holstein | InFlames: then login.. but i dont think thats correct | 01:42 |
| smokie | hey guys, quick question, how can i upgrade an ubuntu server 10.10 to 12.04 LTS ? | 01:42 |
| neil0mac | Was this reply to me? ( programming advice is beyond the scope of this channel.) | 01:42 |
| daftykins | neil0mac: no | 01:42 |
| holstein | smokie: i say, it would be easier to fresh install and the upgrade really has no advantages | 01:43 |
| daftykins | neil0mac: do you have a blank DVD you can write ubuntu to to install, or perhaps a USB flash drive in addition to the USB external HDD? | 01:43 |
| neil0mac | Thanks. I'll wait then. | 01:43 |
| holstein | smokie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades if you want/must | 01:44 |
| InFlames | holstein, i got to the recovery menu, which option am i choosing? (i think i'm going to need networking), does root have networking? | 01:44 |
| smokie | holstein, i kind of have no choice.. the VM im trying to upgrade is a customized ubuntu server from my ISP and i wont be able to configure the scripts again on a fresh install | 01:44 |
| neil0mac | I already have a Trusty CD from a vius user. Also a USB but I don't think i should need to use one? | 01:45 |
| holstein | smokie: then, it snot ubuntu, and they will have to provide support.. though, you can try the links i gave | 01:45 |
| edition | hey, why does the video quality in ffplay look different to VLC? | 01:45 |
| edition | its way too dark in VLC | 01:45 |
| daftykins | neil0mac: you want to install ubuntu to a USB HDD then is it? | 01:45 |
| smokie | holstein, uh they didnt really "customize" the OS, wrong choice of words.. they just run some scripts for 6rd | 01:45 |
| holstein | InFlames: what are you trying to recover? | 01:45 |
| neil0mac | Yes.Yes. | 01:46 |
| holstein | smokie: you will askthem about the support and upgrade, though.. otherwise, fresh install 14.04 | 01:46 |
| InFlames | i am trying to recover my passphrase after logging in to ubuntu via recovery shell | 01:46 |
| holstein | InFlames: you cant | 01:46 |
| edition | i dont understand. I though VLC used libavcodec... why is the video contrast wrong? | 01:46 |
| InFlames | why not? i am so confused on this | 01:46 |
| smokie | holstein, 14.04 is a TLS version? | 01:46 |
| smokie | LTS* i mean | 01:46 |
| neil0mac | No? The USB has an externalHDD connected to it! | 01:47 |
| InFlames | how is it any different from logging in regularly and then doing ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase? | 01:47 |
| holstein | InFlames: http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ | 01:47 |
| InFlames | i just want to do it from the console | 01:47 |
| daftykins | neil0mac: if it were me i would probably disconnect the internal drive with windows 8 on it and install to the external HDD from the DVD, then plug the windows drive back in | 01:47 |
| sveta | ouch, why do people encrypt things -- it is their computer, it's not a library computer | 01:47 |
| neil0mac | I'll try again! I want to use an external HDD connected to a USB3 port. | 01:47 |
| sveta | such a waste of computational time | 01:47 |
| InFlames | holstein, that's exactly what i am trying to do | 01:48 |
| InFlames | simply by console | 01:48 |
| holstein | InFlames: ok... go for it | 01:48 |
| sveta | smokie, yes, 14.04 is lts (/topic) | 01:48 |
| InFlames | but i can't get it to login | 01:48 |
| holstein | http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ is what i would try. | 01:48 |
| InFlames | i imagine there has to be a log of an error somewhere, likely related to the login screen, but i don't know where to look | 01:48 |
| smokie | sveta, cool.. are there any known issues from upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 of the server edition? | 01:49 |
| InFlames | holstein, that method requires access to the mount, i am trying to get access right now | 01:49 |
| InFlames | that;s my problem, it hangs without logging in, i have the credentials | 01:49 |
| holstein | InFlames: that process refernces using a live CD, which is how i would try | 01:49 |
| InFlames | holstein, i think you're missing the problem | 01:50 |
| holstein | InFlames: ok | 01:50 |
| InFlames | i can get to the live cd, i can run ecryptfs-recover-private, i don't have the passphrase | 01:50 |
| edition | has anyone encountered display issues with VLC? | 01:50 |
| holstein | InFlames: you *cant* recover the passphrase like that | 01:50 |
| holstein | InFlames: you'll need it, AFAIK | 01:51 |
| holstein | InFlames: what *do* you have? a live CD? the user password? what else? | 01:51 |
| InFlames | if you can just help me get some details on why it hangs, i can handle the rest | 01:51 |
| InFlames | live, password, and a broken ubuntu 14.04 | 01:51 |
| mark06 | holstein: mine still same http://vpaste.net/EVy5n | 01:51 |
| Faryshta | how do i use chmod +a? | 01:52 |
| holstein | InFlames: it hangs likely becase you dont have access to it.. you dont seem to have what you need to access the data | 01:52 |
| InFlames | i do have access | 01:52 |
| InFlames | it hangs before asking me anything | 01:52 |
| Ben64 | Faryshta: what are you trying to do | 01:52 |
| InFlames | holstein, does recovery shell have networking? | 01:52 |
| holstein | InFlames: you say you dont have the passphrase.. | 01:53 |
| InFlames | damn, no it doesn't | 01:53 |
| daftykins | InFlames: does if you configure it | 01:53 |
| InFlames | i got the passphrase | 01:54 |
| InFlames | holy crap | 01:54 |
| InFlames | one sec | 01:54 |
| InFlames | lolol | 01:54 |
| InFlames | thanks guys | 01:54 |
| InFlames | sorry if i am being an ass, i just am so frustrated trying to explain this | 01:54 |
| holstein | InFlames: i understand you are frustrated, but we cant just go through each volunteer here like this.. | 01:54 |
| InFlames | i can't make the picture clean to anyone | 01:54 |
| mark06 | why isn't it saying libpurple0 will be installed? http://vpaste.net/EVy5n | 01:54 |
| daftykins | that is most definitely not english | 01:55 |
| InFlames | holstein, was i not being cordial with you? | 01:55 |
| InFlames | text does not convey emotion, but i was trying to be polite and efficient with my statements | 01:56 |
| InFlames | as for ben64, that's another story | 01:56 |
| daftykins | mark06: have you tried running Pidgin after just saying yes? | 01:56 |
| InFlames | i should have more patience, everyone is here to help everyone | 01:56 |
| sveta | smokie, about server ask #ubuntu-server, i only upgraded laptop (and i have all sort of issue with hibernating and light-locker but server edition doesnt need those) | 01:57 |
| trism | mark06: would be more interesting to see: apt-cache policy libpurple0 | 01:57 |
| edition | alright thanks for the help. Good luck to those questions that haven't been answered yet. Bye. | 01:57 |
| Faryshta | Ben64, symfony | 01:57 |
| Ben64 | Faryshta: that's not an answer to the question... | 01:58 |
| mark06 | holstein: with -V http://vpaste.net/tXAZQ | 01:59 |
| holstein | mark06: whats the question? | 02:00 |
| neil0mac | <daftykins> Do I need to open the lappie to remove (disconnect) the HDD? | 02:01 |
| Ben64 | mark06: that version of pidgin is from a ppa, seek support with the maintainer of that ppa, or revert back to the official package | 02:02 |
| mark06 | trism: thanks! found the problem with that and aptitude why libpurple0! | 02:02 |
| daftykins | neil0mac: usually, depends on the model for how easy that is. i'm beginning to think my suggestion was a terrible one though, there's definitely ways to install leaving it in :D have you booted ubuntu from the DVD yet? | 02:02 |
| mark06 | Ben64: I wrote that pidgin version | 02:02 |
| Ben64 | mark06: then.... you should know? | 02:03 |
| neil0mac | I tried some weeks ago (True!) but I couldn't access the G: drive - only the C; drive that I don't want to use. | 02:03 |
| mark06 | Ben64: please add me to your ignore list, I mean it | 02:04 |
| holstein | mark06: ? whats your question, friend? | 02:04 |
| Ben64 | mark06: ppas are not supported here, end of the story. | 02:04 |
| cfhowlett | !ppa | 02:04 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 02:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Err, you shouldn't need a PPA for pidgin, we usually ship the latest version at feature freeze | 02:05 |
| mark06 | trism: what likely happened was that libpurple0 was already installed and for some reason apt didn't update it to the newer version from ppa | 02:06 |
| trism | mark06: I suspected that was the case, glad you worked it out | 02:06 |
| mark06 | trism: that was because telepathy-haze requires it... | 02:06 |
| mark06 | trism: thanks again | 02:06 |
| linuxthe1ish | hi, how can i reinstall grub? | 02:06 |
| Bashing-om | InFlames: Look, I am aware that encryption adds a level of complexity that is sometimes not possible to overcome, I have no experiemce with encryption, but have you tried to boot to terminal from the brub boot menu ? See then what you can access ? | 02:07 |
| cfhowlett | !grub|linuxthe1ish | 02:07 |
| ubottu | linuxthe1ish: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:07 |
| Bashing-om | brub/grub* | 02:07 |
| InFlames | Bashing-om, i got the passphrase, took a picture, rebooted into the livecd and am trying to recover | 02:07 |
| InFlames | oddly now it's taking a very long time to find the partition | 02:07 |
| linuxthe1ish | ubottu: boot-repair does not work for me, anything else? | 02:08 |
| ubottu | linuxthe1ish: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:08 |
| linuxthe1ish | waaa | 02:08 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: actually, there are *many* options listed at that link.. and boot repair is just one of them | 02:08 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: i would boot a live CD and try the suggestions listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub ..and i would keep in mind a reinstallation may be the quickest resolve here | 02:09 |
| cfhowlett | linuxthe1ish this ^^^ | 02:09 |
| linuxthe1ish | grub-install: error: unknown filesystem. | 02:10 |
| linuxthe1ish | :S | 02:10 |
| linuxthe1ish | oh wait nvm i'm not in live cd | 02:11 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: if you have broken the filesystem, it wont work | 02:11 |
| linuxthe1ish | nooo it's fine :( | 02:12 |
| linuxthe1ish | i can boot manually | 02:12 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: so | 02:12 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: thats irrelevant.. | 02:12 |
| linuxthe1ish | how do i know what is broken filesystem? | 02:12 |
| loaden | hi, all! after restore Win7 use ghost 11.5.1, I lost my /home and /opt partition table. | 02:12 |
| holstein | linuxthe1ish: not sure how you know.. i test and see. and then, i reinstall if necessary | 02:13 |
| loaden | Could someone help me. | 02:13 |
| loaden | I can't enter my Ubuntu 14.04 now. | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | loaden but your win7 works? reinstall ubuntu | 02:14 |
| loaden | yes, win7 works. | 02:14 |
| Ben64 | loaden: yeah sounds like you restored right over your ubuntu partition(s) and the data is likely lost forever | 02:14 |
| holstein | loaden: check and see if you restored over top of them.. | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | loaden although restoring win7 shouldn't have impacted ubuntu. maybe ghost did some weiird magic | 02:14 |
| loaden | I can't reinstall ubuntu, because in my /home and /opt partition, there exist many useful date. | 02:14 |
| loaden | When I install Ubuntu again, I have to create all partition again. | 02:15 |
| holstein | loaden: check and see. it really doesnt matter how useful it was if you have blown over it accidentally :/ | 02:15 |
| cfhowlett | loaden boot your ubuntu USB and look for your data. if it's gone, it's gone. | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | loaden: ok, load up a ubuntu livecd and pastebin things... like "sudo blkid" and "sudo parted -l" | 02:15 |
| loaden | Ben64: no, the restore is right. | 02:15 |
| loaden | the /root data just fine. | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | what do you mean | 02:15 |
| loaden | It's seems I lost my partition table. | 02:16 |
| holstein | loaden: you are assuming the restore went "right".. if you are missing things,and you just did a restore, its likely you restored over them | 02:16 |
| loaden | only /home and /opt | 02:16 |
| Ben64 | but you definitely overwritten /home and /opt? | 02:16 |
| cfhowlett | sudo blkid | 02:16 |
| loaden | Maybe it's ghost bugs. | 02:16 |
| loaden | I can sure the restore is the right partition. | 02:17 |
| cfhowlett | loaden seems likely | 02:17 |
| * sveta mutters “backups, backups, backups” | 02:17 | |
| loaden | and /dev/sda8 -> /root & /dev/sda9 -> /opt /dev/sda10 ->home | 02:18 |
| loaden | I just want restore the partition tables. | 02:18 |
| holstein | why? i would want to try and recover the data.. | 02:18 |
| loaden | does I have any chance to save my data? | 02:18 |
| Ben64 | then pastebin the information i asked for | 02:18 |
| cfhowlett | loaden might not be possible. as suggested BOOT your usb and see if the data is there | 02:18 |
| loaden | cfhowlett: I just do it. I can't visit the partition anymore. | 02:19 |
| loaden | fdisk -l just fine. | 02:19 |
| loaden | I can see the partition use fdisk -l | 02:19 |
| cfhowlett | loaden sudo blkid sudo parted -l report the output | 02:19 |
| loaden | blkid can't visit the lost partition too. | 02:20 |
| cfhowlett | loaden ben64? | 02:20 |
| Ben64 | cfhowlett: huh? | 02:20 |
| cfhowlett | ben64 under blkid can't read his partition = it's dead, jim? | 02:20 |
| loaden | blkid can show the all Windows NTFS partitions. | 02:20 |
| loaden | and can show /root partition. | 02:21 |
| loaden | but can't see the lost /dev/sda9 & /dev/sda10 | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | cfhowlett: yeah sounds dead. would be nice to see the actual output though | 02:21 |
| loaden | BUT, fdisk -l can see it. | 02:21 |
| cfhowlett | !paste| loaden use the paste tools to show us the output | 02:21 |
| ubottu | loaden use the paste tools to show us the output: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | loaden: then pastebin it | 02:21 |
| loaden | Ben64: cfhowlett For now I use IRC on Windows. | 02:22 |
| loaden | I can only enter Ubuntu in shell | 02:22 |
| cfhowlett | loaden perfect. | 02:23 |
| unclescratchie | need help.....using ubuntu 12.4, new issue, trying to play on Pogo, says I need to update flash, am using chrome as browser, everything is updated, any suggestions? have tried everything I know | 02:23 |

| Foxhoundz | how do I install the kernel souce and headers for ubuntu' | 02:32 |
| cfhowlett | !source|Foxhoundz | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Foxhoundz: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 02:32 |
| cfhowlett | Foxhoundz errr, ignore. | 02:32 |
| cfhowlett | !kernel | 02:32 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 02:32 |
| Ben64 | Foxhoundz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g) | 02:32 |
| RLW980 | !RLW980 | he | 02:32 |
| Ben64 | RLW980: stop that | 02:33 |
| RLW980 | Ben64: sTOP WHAT LOL | 02:33 |
| Foxhoundz | why the regex? | 02:33 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: picks your currently installed and running version | 02:34 |
| Ben64 | Foxhoundz: solves some issues, but i see now it wouldn't work with lts enablement stack | 02:34 |
| Foxhoundz | apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r) doesn't work either | 02:36 |
| Foxhoundz | :< | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | Foxhoundz: what version of ubuntu | 02:36 |
| Foxhoundz | 14.04 3.13.0-24-generic | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | then my regex should work for you, should install linux-headers-generic | 02:37 |
| Ben64 | although you're a few kernel versions behind | 02:37 |
| Foxhoundz | it's a live environment and only temporary as I try to compile a usb wifi card driver | 02:37 |
| Foxhoundz | which is another issue I'm tackling | 02:37 |
| Foxhoundz | the joys of running Linux | 02:38 |
| IotaSpencer | Does 14.04 not have a key for some things yet? | 02:38 |
| holstein | IotaSpencer: a key? | 02:38 |
| Ben64 | Foxhoundz: then you'll want linux-headers-3.13.0.24 | 02:38 |
| cfhowlett | IotaSpencer "some things" ??? | 02:38 |
| IotaSpencer | The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32 | 02:38 |
| daftykins | IotaSpencer: it's all fine, perhaps you added a PPA | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | well not everything's fine unless he's able to verify them | 02:39 |
| holstein | IotaSpencer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys | 02:40 |
| IotaSpencer | its also based on ubuntus servers, not launchpads or anyone elses | 02:40 |
| cfhowlett | IotaSpencer yeah, that does happen sometimes.. | 02:40 |
| Foxhoundz | and how do I download the kernel source? | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | apt-get download linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic | 02:42 |
| Foxhoundz | thank you | 02:43 |
| sinonie | hello | 02:43 |
| sinonie | i'm nuwbie here :) | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | sinonie greetings. ask your ubuntu questions | 02:43 |
| sinonie | this room not for chit-chat? ^_^ | 02:44 |
| cfhowlett | !ot|sinonie it is not | 02:44 |
| holstein | sinonie: no.. but the #ubuntu-offtopic is | 02:44 |
| ubottu | sinonie it is not: #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! | 02:44 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: actually for the source you want this: apt-get source linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic | 02:44 |
| tomreyn | the previous command would download the binary. | 02:45 |
| sinonie | any room ubuntu user just for looking new friends? | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | -_- | 02:45 |
| tomreyn | note that i have not followed your previous conversation, i just told you how to download a kernel package of a given version | 02:45 |
| holstein | sinonie: no.. but maybe in the appropriate channel.. please /join #ubuntu-offtopic ..thanks :) | 02:45 |
| sinonie | ok thanks holstein :) | 02:46 |
| osier | hello, anyone has any idea about why I couldn't get the core dump of kernel when setting USE_KDUMP=1 in /etc/default/kdump-tools? I can get the linux-image-*.crash file under /var/crash though, when setting USE_KDUMP=0 | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | holstein I do believe you made a friend :) | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: if you're trying to build a kernel module you should probably be using m-a (module-assistant) | 02:46 |
| IotaSpencer | ok that fixed it, thanks guys | 02:46 |
| Foxhoundz | tomreyn: is that what you guys call drivers? | 02:46 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm trying to compile a driver for a WiFi adapter from source | 02:47 |
| Foxhoundz | all I know is I needed the linux headers and kernel source for it to compile | 02:47 |
| Foxhoundz | I've added build-essentials for good measure | 02:47 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: kernel modules are the equivalent of drivers on other operating systems, yes | 02:47 |
| holstein | Foxhoundz: why? typically, if drivers can be available,they are | 02:47 |
| Foxhoundz | my WiFi adapter is relatively new | 02:47 |
| Foxhoundz | NO linux distribution has support for it | 02:47 |
| holstein | Foxhoundz: if you are having to build from source, make sure that it supports the kernel | 02:47 |
| holstein | Foxhoundz: this *is* a linux distribution.. | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | This is the one https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T4U | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | I know. I'm saying no linux distribution has support of it out of the box | 02:48 |
| daftykins | RTL8812AU seems common 0o | 02:48 |
| daftykins | ah well | 02:48 |
| holstein | i know, personally, if i still had the reciept.. i would return it rather than build anything from source.. but, i would think that device should "just work" | 02:49 |
| osier | osier, my message is a bit lost in the screen, but still looking forward to some help, the "kdump-config show" output is: | 02:50 |
| osier | kdump-config show | 02:50 |

| Foxhoundz | daftykins: it didn't work when I plugged it in | 02:52 |
| Foxhoundz | lsusb doesn't even list the chipset vendor name | 02:52 |
| Foxhoundz | it just has its vendor id and product id | 02:53 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: so, build-essential is on, how about linux-headers-generic ? | 02:53 |
| MartynKeigher | hey all...stupid Q alert.... what location is this " cd~" | 02:53 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm installing that currently | 02:54 |
| MartynKeigher | what does the ~ denote?? | 02:54 |
| Foxhoundz | I'll be cloning and compiling it from this https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux | 02:54 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: /home/username | 02:54 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: it's like shorthand for the currently logged on user's home folder (confirm with "pwd" ) | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | cd ~/ | 02:54 |
| Foxhoundz | ~ = /home/<current_user_home> | 02:55 |
| Foxhoundz | loh | 02:55 |
| daftykins | wow, really need to get that echo fixed ;) | 02:55 |
| Foxhoundz | it's been said | 02:55 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: looks pretty straight forward then | 02:55 |
| MartynKeigher | well if thats true... then, im in /home/username and i cant see a folder that should be in here?? really odd. | 02:55 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: ls -a | 02:55 |
| Foxhoundz | daftykins: do I just run sudo make? | 02:55 |
| MartynKeigher | in putty, i see it all. but i cant see it in winscp | 02:55 |
| Foxhoundz | or do I have to do some configuration | 02:55 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: note that any folder beginning "." is hidden | 02:55 |
| Foxhoundz | or dependency installation | 02:56 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: hit ctrl+h i believe to enable hidden files view | 02:56 |
| MartynKeigher | yup... nothing hidden here. | 02:56 |
| wilee-nilee | MartynKeigher, cd ~/ is home | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: no sudo for make | 02:56 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: those guides would have additional steps if they needed more | 02:57 |
| MartynKeigher | http://i.imgur.com/eEE9dRI.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/sTnkEKa.jpg | 02:57 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: i found this one myself, which pulls from elsewhere - http://blog.danielscrivano.com/installing-rtl8812au-on-linux-for-wireless-dual-band-usb-adapters/ | 02:57 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: you're in a folder in PuTTY, perhaps you need to refresh the view in WinSCP | 02:58 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: oh, you're also root. | 02:58 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: well not for anything but "make install" anyways. | 02:58 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: so note where i said 'currently logged on user', type 'pwd' in your PuTTY session. | 02:58 |
| MartynKeigher | i can actually approach this another way..... so the cmd to transfer btw 2 machines is this..... scp /etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt user@server_private_IP:/tmp | 02:59 |
| pocketpc | Is there any way to make libnotify popups appear in fullscreen apps? If not, is there somewhere where I could make a feature request? | 02:59 |
| MartynKeigher | but what is 22 is NOT the default port. its setup at a diff port. | 02:59 |
| MartynKeigher | http://i.imgur.com/CqikJF2.jpg | 03:00 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: also consider to: sudo update-usbids | 03:00 |
| MartynKeigher | kinda stuck at the transfer | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | what does that do? | 03:00 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: you know for certain the other host has sshd running? | 03:01 |
| tomreyn | Foxhoundz: update the device descriptions for given usb device id's so that lsusb will provide better matching output for some devices (hopefully including yours) | 03:01 |
| MartynKeigher | yup | 03:01 |
| MartynKeigher | i'll double check again though | 03:02 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: confirmed with "netstat -tuln" to see :22 listening for IPv4? | 03:02 |
| daftykins | (on that host) | 03:02 |
| MartynKeigher | yup, but its on 22055 not 22 | 03:02 |
| MartynKeigher | http://i.imgur.com/jG5q7lp.jpg | 03:03 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: so you need to specify that with your scp command, add the parameter after user@IP of "-p #" | 03:03 |
| MartynKeigher | ah.... -p | 03:03 |
| MartynKeigher | got it! thats what i needed. one sec. let me try! | 03:03 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: when you're not 100% on a command's syntax, you can always look at man pages eh? "man scp" | 03:04 |
| eXile | I have something really strange happening, after boot, about 5 minutes or so later, theres a crazy loop of "lshw | grep version | head -1", so many times I actully run out of memory, load skyrocket. I cant seem to find where its running from any ideas? | 03:05 |
| Foxhoundz | ok | 03:05 |
| Foxhoundz | I ran make! | 03:05 |

| MartynKeigher | daftykins ... DONE! thanks for the -P | 03:07 |
| daftykins | MartynKeigher: any time. | 03:07 |
| Foxhoundz | no , no it worked | 03:07 |
| MartynKeigher | scp -P 22055 ~/logstash-forwarder/logstash-forwarder_0.3.1_amd64.deb dashing@172.16.10.21:/tmp << That did it! | 03:08 |

| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| Foxhoundz | ok it looks like it worked. I ran make, sudo make install, nd then update-usbids | 03:10 |
| Foxhoundz | everything seems to have completed successfully | 03:10 |
| neil0mac | OK. I have managed to install Ubuntu - but as an option to boot on C: Drive - not the the HDD connected via my USB3 port. | 03:10 |
| Foxhoundz | but iwconfig still doesn't show my wireless NIC | 03:10 |
| NinjaSaves | What are you coding Foxhoundz | 03:10 |
| NinjaSaves | man... linux and wireless NICs though | 03:11 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: restart | 03:11 |
| Foxhoundz | NinjaSaves: I'm compiling a driver for this: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T4U | 03:11 |
| Foxhoundz | daftykins: does it require it ? I'm currently in a live environment | 03:11 |
| holstein | might need to to get a kernel module to load.. | 03:11 |
| NinjaSaves | Oh, you know more than me about C* | 03:11 |
| NinjaSaves | or whatever. | 03:11 |
| NinjaSaves | Oh, compiling. Not programming. DOn't mind me. | 03:12 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: why are you doing this in a live session 0o | 03:12 |
| Foxhoundz | just to see if this would even work. I currently have Windows installed | 03:12 |
| Foxhoundz | I suppose I can dual boot them for now | 03:12 |
| daftykins | aiming to convert? | 03:13 |
| === ezhik`_ is now known as Guest4532 | ||
| Foxhoundz | This is an intel nuc. I always wanted it to run Linux as a headless machine | 03:13 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: you might be able to "sudo service network-manager restart" | 03:13 |
| Foxhoundz | but not having this WiFi card work forced me to use Windows 8.1 | 03:13 |
| daftykins | if it's headless can't it live where it can be cabled in 0o | 03:13 |
| Foxhoundz | daftykins: it's also used sometimes as an XBMC server :p | 03:14 |
| Foxhoundz | it's connected to my bedroom TV | 03:14 |
| daftykins | i see | 03:14 |
| daftykins | i'm sat in front of my XBMC HTPC right now. | 03:14 |
| Foxhoundz | daftykins: network-manager doesn't seem to exist | 03:15 |
| Foxhoundz | you mean networking? | 03:15 |
| daftykins | no i do not | 03:15 |
| daftykins | restarting networking doesn't work properly anymore i don't think | 03:15 |
| daftykins | has an interface been created? "ifconfig -a" | 03:15 |
| Foxhoundz | I see an eth0 and lo | 03:16 |
| Foxhoundz | but no wlan0 | 03:16 |
| daftykins | did your guide page have the modprobe command? | 03:16 |
| Foxhoundz | What guide page? | 03:17 |
| daftykins | well whatever you were following, did it include running "sudo modprobe 8812au" ? | 03:17 |
| Foxhoundz | I followed this http://blog.danielscrivano.com/installing-rtl8812au-on-linux-for-wireless-dual-band-usb-adapters/ | 03:18 |
| daftykins | so... "yes" ? :) | 03:19 |
| Foxhoundz | but the actual source info didn't have anything | 03:19 |

| daftykins | Foxhoundz: ones a fork of the other though, so it might not be relevant | 03:22 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm compiling the source from the blog post as we speak | 03:22 |
| Foxhoundz | if it helps | 03:22 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: tell you what, did you have the adapter in the whole time? | 03:23 |
| daftykins | (plugged in) | 03:23 |
| Foxhoundz | ... | 03:23 |
| Foxhoundz | yes | 03:23 |
| Foxhoundz | I unplugged it | 03:24 |
| daftykins | Foxhoundz: "lsmod | grep 88" should list "8812au", then unplug and replug | 03:24 |
| Foxhoundz | nada :( | 03:25 |
| daftykins | "ifconfig -a" again? | 03:25 |
| Foxhoundz | still shows only eth0 and lo | 03:25 |
| Foxhoundz | I guess perhaps the source was not updated for Ubuntu's version of the kernel? | 03:26 |
| daftykins | well those repos do speak of 3.10.x kernels | 03:26 |
| Foxhoundz | well, I'm plugging it into a USB 3.0 port | 03:27 |
| Foxhoundz | would that affect it ? | 03:27 |
| daftykins | i would try a 2.0 | 03:27 |
| Foxhoundz | ... :( | 03:27 |
| Foxhoundz | Intel NUC's ports are all 3.0 | 03:28 |
| Foxhoundz | I guess I'm dead in the water heh | 03:28 |
| daftykins | before when you said nada | 03:28 |
| daftykins | was that to the lsmod command too? | 03:28 |

| villandra | How do I learn if my motherboard/ chipset is compatible with a particular version of Ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| villandra | For instance, if my motherboard came out in 2011, it may be supported in the 2012 version of Ubuntu but not the current version? | 03:44 |
| histo | villandra: boot the live cd | 03:44 |
| villandra | If it works in live cd it will work if installed? | 03:44 |
| Guest95452 | reboot | 03:44 |
| histo | villandra: same thing gets installed that's running on the live cd | 03:45 |
| histo | villandra: what chipset do you have? | 03:45 |
| villandra | Reason why I ask is my motherboard has a number of drivers that must be installed when Windows is installed - or it cna't for instance connect with the internet. | 03:45 |
| histo | villandra: https://www.linux.com/directory/Components/motherboards | 03:45 |
| villandra | My chipset is Intel H61. Gigabyte H61M-D2P-B3 | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | villandra intel? probably few if any issues with ubuntu | 03:46 |
| histo | villandra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMotherboards | 03:46 |
| villandra | NIC is Realtek PCIe GBE family controller, RTL8111/8168/8411, on the RTL8111E chip. | 03:47 |
| histo | villandra: should be good to go | 03:47 |
| villandra | Onboard audio is also Realtek. | 03:47 |
| villandra | Online it variously says you have to jump through 50 hoops upside down to install these drivers, or they may not work. | 03:48 |
| histo | villandra: Don't think you'll have any issues | 03:48 |
| histo | villandra: boot the live cd and test that you have sound video etc... It runs live just like it does when installed | 03:48 |
| villandra | My instructor said one version, ont the most up to date, and no other version, may support my board because Linux doesn't keep old drivers. | 03:48 |
| villandra | LOL, but online someone said that only worked with live CD. | 03:49 |

| histo | villandra: you're instructor is wrong | 03:51 |
| histo | villandra: what version do you plan on installing? | 03:52 |
| histo | villandra: I'm sure if you look on kernel.org or intel's site you can see when support was added for your chipset. | 03:53 |
| histo | due to the speed of the development of the kernel, I'm sure that was some time ago. | 03:53 |
| villandra | I can't find my chipset or my mobo on any of the lists of supported or not supported hardware. | 03:53 |

| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 03:55 |
| talldave | I’m thinking about installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 onto a single disk as RAID 10. Advisable? | 03:56 |
| histo | villandra: Is there a reason you don't want to try the livecd and find out? | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | talldave #ubuntu-server channel might be a better source | 03:57 |
| masingerz | my installation doesnt seem to have a swap installed trusty 14.04 | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | masing | 03:58 |
| ubottu | masing: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 03:58 |

| villandra | The Intel support center doesn't include Ubuntu as an operating system. | 03:59 |
| cfhowlett | villandra too true. | 03:59 |
| villandra | Doesn't include drivers either. | 04:00 |
| histo | talldave: how are you going to install on a single disk as raid anything? | 04:00 |
| histo | !raid | talldave | 04:00 |

| cfhowlett | villandra intel won't discuss it. make a usb and test it yourself | 04:01 |

| ignacio_ | oh, I;ve downloaded it on mac os x | 04:37 |
| ignacio_ | cfhowlett: if the md5sum of the iso is correct maybe this is a copy problem? | 04:37 |

| nachokb | guys I have a question: I'm running Ubuntu GNOME Trusty on an optimus system; without realizing it, I unwillingly installed nvidia-prime (perhaps an update, or something) | 05:53 |
| nachokb | the system stopped booting | 05:53 |
| nachokb | nvidia-prime is not supported by either gdm nor gnome-shell | 05:53 |
| nachokb | before I realized what was happening, I needed a working environment, so I installed kubuntu-desktop (with lightdm) | 05:54 |
| nachokb | I dislike KDE, but I had work to do :P | 05:54 |
| nachokb | then I realized what happened, fixed it | 05:54 |
| nachokb | but now, when in GNOME, GTK2 apps looks like they use Qt for render (particularly the Oxygen theme) | 05:55 |
| nachokb | also some Qt apps have changed I think | 05:55 |

| cfhowlett | Guido1 the past practice suggested that /swap should be 2 times Ram ... | 07:15 |

| wilee-nilee | JohnQ, read more you would use a live dvd/or usb | 07:17 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: that would be 8 GB. can you also explain why it should be 2 times the ram? | 07:17 |
| JohnQ | ok | 07:17 |
| cfhowlett | !swap|Guido1 that would be from the days of limited ram i.e. if you had 4 GB you were doing good! these days?? | 07:17 |
| ubottu | Guido1 that would be from the days of limited ram i.e. if you had 4 GB you were doing good! these days??: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 07:17 |
| airtonix | histo: was actually a problem with avahi-daemon. config has ipv6 on by default and ipv4 off by default. pulseaudio doesn't work with ipv6 yet. | 07:19 |

| JohnQ | wilee-nilee: fantastic. Thanks. | 07:20 |
| Guido1 | ubottu, cfhowlett: the laptop will have 4 GB ram (expending if I have more money) Do you want to say that nowedays it's not any more two times the ram, but always 8 GB? | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Guido1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:20 |
| cfhowlett | Guido1 your choice ... | 07:21 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: i want to set it up well the first time | 07:22 |
| cfhowlett | Guido1 is there a good reason NOT to go with 16 gb? | 07:22 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: 16 GB ram? Yes, money - i'm a poor student | 07:24 |
| cfhowlett | Guido1 how big is your HDD? | 07:24 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: 500 | 07:24 |
| cfhowlett | Guido1 ... | 07:25 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: how big should swap be in the case of 16 GB? | 07:25 |
| cfhowlett | Guido1 same formula. pick a number and install. | 07:25 |
| Guido1 | cfhowlett: okee, still two times. thanks. so maybe i can make swap 32 gb so that i don't have to do somthing if i upgrade the ram later | 07:27 |

| airtonix | ugh... more frustration with the way pulseaudio has changed in 14.XX. i don't know how to properply address this bu, essentially when i disable the system owned daemonised instance of pulseaudio (and prevent it from respawning), then launch a user owned instance of it my remote sinks show up on my netowork machines control panel > sound > output. reverting back t 14.XX default pulseaudio setup results in none of my zeroconf sinks being published | 09:11 |
| airtonix | or displayed. | 09:11 |
| e^0 | bekks: thanks | 09:11 |
| JO0st | hey guys, i am trying to write a gui from python for the first time. Does ubuntu recommend a certain toolkit, and which ones will work? | 09:13 |

| histo | meh qt | 09:14 |
| airtonix | JO0st: reason you want to use qt over gtk is that a) gtk is horrible b) qt is better c) qt looks native on the platform it's being run on | 09:15 |
| JO0st | 5373Schaap | 09:16 |

| e^0 | sorry | 09:26 |

| cfhowlett | aeon-ltd latter | 09:56 |
| histo | _Crash_Laptop: now what does which ffmpeg say? | 09:56 |

| aeon-ltd | cfhowlett, histo, + others: thank you for answering | 09:57 |
| histo | aeon-ltd: no not like ubuntu. | 09:57 |
| _Crash_Laptop | histo, do you mean what it says once i run ffmpeg? | 09:58 |
| histo | sushixdesu: I'd disagree with that. I've seen some bugs recently with the latest kernel from arch. | 09:58 |
| e^0 | bekks: now which npm shows /usr/bin/npm | 09:58 |

| _Crash_Laptop | Omnipotent, lol ty | 10:10 |
| _Crash_Laptop | histo, alright | 10:10 |
| histo | Ben64: yeah but the package is coming from ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net so that mirror must be wrecked | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | sarge repos, lucid repo | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | not necessarily | 10:11 |

| histo | _Crash_Laptop: yeah your sources.list is all kinds of mess | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | i bet the mirror is fine, but the other repositories and/or installing ffmpeg manually and not uninstalling properly borked it | 10:11 |
| _Crash_Laptop | yeah im unsure what to do | 10:12 |
| histo | He could try unpacking the deb and seeing what files are in it | 10:12 |
| milad191 | how can i take a picture of terminal ? | 10:12 |
| histo | or just md5sum comparing it to apt-cache showsrc ffmpeg | 10:12 |
| Omnipotent | if you are in gui mode, just screenshot? | 10:12 |
| histo | _Crash_Laptop: md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg* | 10:12 |
| Omnipotent | or well, paste everything on the terminal | 10:13 |
| Omnipotent | NOT HERE THOUGH | 10:13 |
| Ben64 | histo: man i was just about to suggest that | 10:13 |
| milad191 | how exactly ? | 10:13 |
| _Crash_Laptop | histo, a642b64c46aa237bb82c78bf39688d2b /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg_4%3a0.8.12-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_all.deb | 10:13 |

| B0073D | Is there any way to display a raid health icon on the iconbar along with all the other icons? | 10:54 |
| B0073D | I'd rather not have to manually check it. Yes I could write a script but I thought I'd see if anything existed before I reinvent the wheel | 10:55 |
| B0073D | 14.04 btw | 10:55 |
| bnutzer | hello. i'd like to try out an ubuntu live system to see whether it supports my hw. the default image is 964 MB, which won't fit into 1 "GB" stick. any alternatives? | 10:58 |
| B0073D | The lubuntu images might be smaller if you're not after unity specifically. | 10:59 |
| === baldwin is now known as Guest43654 | ||
| bnutzer | B0073D: i'd only like to see what it would do with optimus and/or nvidia drivers. the nvidia driver is quite evil | 11:02 |
| milad191 | how can i access hidden folders with termina ? | 11:03 |
| B0073D | milad191: Hidden folders have dots in front of them | 11:03 |
| bnutzer | milad191: you want to see them? ls -a | 11:03 |
| === mitz is now known as mitz_offline | ||
| B0073D | as bnutzer said, ls -a to see them then just cd .hiddenfolder | 11:03 |

| === mitz_offline is now known as mitz | ||
| B0073D | .cache is a directory | 11:05 |
| bnutzer | heh. i spent over 6 hours installing and tweaking windows 8, only to find out that win8 is even more awful than i thought and that the optimus support isn't good on windows either | 11:05 |
| B0073D | so you cd into it:> cd .cache | 11:06 |
| B0073D | then remove what you need from in there | 11:06 |
| B0073D | It seems to be a little less resource hungry than 7. But thats about it really. | 11:06 |
| LrdArc | does anyone know where is the ubuntu launcher icon ( http://imgur.com/7ZzTf6Z ) located? and how can I edit this? | 11:08 |

| LrdArc | i did | 11:09 |
| bnutzer | does the nvidia graphic driver override common system files on ubuntu? on some distros, it breaks for example, the intel driver | 11:11 |
| LrdArc | I found this http://imgur.com/um8OF2M by searching from nautilus, but it seems not the file for unity start launcher | 11:13 |
| B0073D | bnutzer: Do you have an existing windows PC? | 11:13 |
| B0073D | Never mind, I was thinking VM but that wont help your nvidia testing. | 11:13 |
| B0073D | Unless you have two cards and something that does pcie passthrough. | 11:14 |
| bnutzer | B0073D: yeah. wouldn't help with optimus. i also know that dri_prime works on other distros, but the nvidia driver breaks things (nvidia doesn't officially support much other distros than ubuntu) | 11:15 |
| B0073D | I havent had any issues with nvidia on recent releases but I'm not using optimis | 11:16 |
| B0073D | optimus even | 11:16 |

| Jeffrey_f | Question on the U1 Downloader for getting all the data from UbuntuOne. The instruction page looks like it may be missing an item; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/U1/Downloader/Linux/How_to_Use | 11:33 |
| IdleOne | Jeffrey_f: The right channel to ask would be #ubuntuone, but there is nothing missing from those instructions | 11:36 |
| Ben64 | Jeffrey_f: looks more like someone edited that page to be silly | 11:36 |
| Jeffrey_f | IdleOne: What do you see as instruction #1?? | 11:37 |
| IdleOne | Jeffrey_f: that is some silliness. The download link works | 11:37 |
| Jeffrey_f | IdleOne: I'll look further. It is early, maybe my coffee didn't kick in yet :) | 11:38 |
| Ben64 | there, i fixed it :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/U1/Downloader/Linux/How_to_Use | 11:40 |

| ActionParsnip | Going to be glad when that U1 is dead and gone. Its all Ive been hearing about recently | 11:40 |

| Tin_man | i was reading in a PDF file called "The Linux Command Line", and i read that all modern Linux system should have a folder called Lost&Found, but after looking at my system (Ubuntu 14.04) I don't see that file, all the other files it mentioned are there though.. I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 since April, and I don't know if when I first started out I might of accidentally deleted it or not. Should I create a folder and name it Lost&Found? | 11:42 |
| Tin_man | under /root? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Tin_man: do you have a seperate partition for /home ? | 11:42 |
| Ben64 | Tin_man: it gets created when you make an ext(2,3,4) system, and is in the root of the filesystem. it's called "lost+found" and you don't really need it | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Tin_man: you will have lost+found in / | 11:43 |
| Tin_man | i'm on ext4. don't know if i do have a small partition it might be there | 11:43 |
| Tin_man | ok | 11:43 |
| Tin_man | let me do some checking | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Tin_man: ls / | grep -i lost | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Tin_man: sudo updatedb; locate lost | 11:44 |
| Tin_man | ok | 11:45 |
| k1l_ | Tin_man: it might be created when you run a fsck | 11:45 |
| Tin_man | ok thanks, i do have 3 partitions (1 file system, 2 ext partition 2.1gig, 3 swap 2.1 gig) | 11:46 |
| Tin_man | i'm not sure what that 2nd partition is truthfully... | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Tin_man: is it mounted? | 11:47 |
| k1l_ | Tin_man: see "mount" and look if this is mounted as /home or something | 11:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Cuber: what make / model? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Cuber: and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 11:57 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, It's a HP Pavilion dv7, | 11:57 |

| ActionParsnip | Cuber: let me search the web..... | 11:58 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, much appreciated | 11:59 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, I'm not using the proprietary AMD drivers because they lag up the PC to unbearable levels in case you were wondering | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Cuber: do you have the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor | 12:00 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, where can I check that? | 12:01 |
| PoolShark_ | morning... what's the login script that is run on login that gives the info display (IP, uptime, etc...)? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Cuber: its not default. You can add it. Have you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7 after you open the lid? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | PoolShark_: ifconfig and uptime give that | 12:04 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, Yes I tried, didn't seem to work. It's not that my screen is just black, even the backlight is off | 12:04 |
| PoolShark_ | ActionParsnip: I know that, but I'm talking about the script that is run when you log into the CLI that parses all that handy info and gives the nice summary | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Cuber: try the boot option, may help | 12:05 |
| Cuber | ActionParsnip, Okay, I'll try | 12:05 |

| ActionParsnip | bleb: you will need to upgrade to 13.10 then to 14.04. You will get a cleaner OS and faster if you do a clean install of 14.04 and restore user data from backup | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | DJJeff: doesnt sound healthy. You could use ddrescue to make an image and continuing after the issue, then hexdump that | 14:02 |

| xubuntu864 | bluesabre, anyway. I guess that's it for now. ciao! | 14:16 |

| basementcomputer | I have a broadcom bcm4306 | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | basementcomputer | 14:16 |
| ubottu | basementcomputer: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:16 |
| basementcomputer | and it is listed under the opensource drivers on the ubuntu wiki for wireless | 14:16 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: If it shows up on the terminal, why cant i run it from grub? | 14:17 |
| basementcomputer | i went there and im not sure what to do | 14:17 |
| basementcomputer | i installed b43 firmware | 14:17 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: really!? nothing at all? ... ActionParsnip ... sounds like maybe a corrupted system either in-memory or on-disk, or both ? | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Balorth: have you tried the other driver (if your device supports multiple drivers) | 14:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: Crap | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: run: sudo update-grub | 14:17 |
| basementcomputer | so im just not surer what to do after install b43 firmware | 14:17 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: Please dont say that... | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: do you see memtest in the output? | 14:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: Done | 14:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | no, no memtest | 14:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | at all | 14:18 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: I'd have expected you to see something similar to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7685491/ | 14:18 |
| Balorth | ActionParsnip: it shouldnt have a second driver | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: do you have an Ubuntu install CD? It has memtest on that | 14:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: No, but I can make one quickly | 14:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | basementcomputer: So you installed the firmware-b43-installer package... onto the computer with the Broadcom driver? | 14:18 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: I used to have a live cd but I don't know what happened | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Balorth: some broadcom wifis are supported by 2 drivers. Try the other if yours does | 14:19 |
| basementcomputer | all i did was apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 14:19 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: wheresmypaaants Something strange there, if there was *absolutely no* output from my "dpkg -l " command, since there should have been at least the 'uninstall' status of the package, plus the command output headers of course | 14:20 |
| basementcomputer | and did a lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 and my results show what my wireless card is | 14:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | basementcomputer: But did you install it to the computer with the Broadcom *wireless card*? If you didn't, you need use an alternate method... | 14:20 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: Is it possible to "install" memtest to grub? | 14:20 |
| basementcomputer | im on the computer via ethernet | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: sure, reinstall the memtest package, it should add itself | 14:21 |
| basementcomputer | i would like to use the wireless card inside of this computer | 14:21 |
| Balorth | ActionParsnip: how would i do that? | 14:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | basementcomputer: Good. So all you need to do now is [ sudo modprobe -r b43 wl brcmsmac && sudo modprobe b43 ] | 14:21 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: How so? Would it be as simple as sudo apt-get install memtest? | 14:21 |
| basementcomputer | let me try it | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | basementcomputer: if you run: dmesg | grep -i firm ,do you see any errors etc? | 14:21 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: It is, yes, that is done automatically when the memtest86+ package is installed. The thing is, with the symptoms you're describing, I'm suspicious that the system isn't operating correctly, which may be another by-product of a memory corruption issue... | 14:21 |
| basementcomputer | im skill level isnt as advanced when it comes to this | 14:21 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: Oh god... would this be something I need to replace? | 14:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | basementcomputer: The command I put in [ ] goes in a terminal. | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: not sure of the exact package name but: sudo apt-get --reinstall install foo ,wil do it | 14:22 |
| wheresmypaaants | Replace foo with memtest... right? | 14:22 |
| basementcomputer | ActionParsnip: i do see errors | 14:22 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: ... the upshot being, you cannot trust it to write correct bits to the disks from memory. My recommendation would be to boot from a Live ISO image, and use its boot menu Memory Test option to run a thorough test, before continuing to allow writing to the disk drive by the installed system. | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wheresmypaaants: as i said, you will need the exact package name and i dont know it | 14:22 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: Burning a live CD now | 14:23 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: The package name is "memtest86+", as per my command-line example earlier for 'dpkg' | 14:23 |
| TJ- | wheresmypaaants: Are you burning from the affected PC, or another PC? | 14:24 |
| bleb | Question: I'm trying to upgrade from 13.04 to something supported. I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades, but no luck. do-release-upgrade says 'No new release found', and the graphical Software Updater says 'Failed to download repository information.' What are my options? | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade|bleb | 14:24 |

| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: ActionParsnip Thanks | 14:24 |
| wheresmypaaants | both the cd and memtest are reinstalling | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | bleb download the current ISO and do a clean installation | 14:25 |
| basementcomputer | SonikkuAmerica: The commands you gave me did not work, it says that wlbrcmsmac : not found | 14:25 |
| wheresmypaaants | has 12.04 reached EOL? | 14:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wheresmypaaants: No. | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | wheresmypaaants no - 5 year support | 14:25 |
| wheresmypaaants | i remember something about it getting a bunch of support | 14:25 |
| wheresmypaaants | Alrighty | 14:25 |
| wheresmypaaants | Im on 14 though, just wondering | 14:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | basementcomputer: Then just [ sudo modprobe b43 ] and reboot. | 14:26 |
| wheresmypaaants | so each OS gets 5 years of supportXD | 14:26 |
| bleb | cfhowlett: I share this system with a few other users so I'd avoid clean install if possible. Is there no other way? | 14:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wheresmypaaants: Each $(EVEN_NUMBER).04 release gets 5 years of support. | 14:26 |
| wheresmypaaants | SonikkuAmerica: Sweet | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | bleb if eolupgrade isn't working, your options are limited | 14:26 |
| wheresmypaaants | ActionParsnip: TJ-: I'll be back when the CD is done burning | 14:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bleb: If I were you I'd get a 14.04 Live image and upgrade your system that way. | 14:27 |
| cfhowlett | SonikkuAmerica not 100% accurate. xubuntu only gets 3 years | 14:28 |
| wheresmypaaants | all done | 14:28 |
| wheresmypaaants | TJ-: So, boot from CD and run memtest? | 14:29 |

| foofoobar | Not only the aplay command is not working, I have no sound here. | 15:34 |
| foofoobar | (No sounds for adjusting volume etc.) | 15:34 |
| Jonii_ | ActionParsnip: that seems to only help with setting warning for battery, not actually enable me to use the remaining 25%-60% of the battery | 15:34 |

| mrdeb_ | hi, when will ubuntu allow font changing in control panel like a normal distro, instead of having ot install gnome tweak tool hack | 15:35 |
| jmss | TJ-: text without splash and vga= does not work also, should I use vga= simultaneously? should it make all boot process in text mode? | 15:35 |
| subb1 | ActionParsnip, thanks budd | 15:35 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: That suggests the sound device node may not have "audio" group as its owner - what sound device is it? | 15:35 |
| biledemon | hey guys, I will build my own gaming computer which will be running Mint soon. Anything I should keep in mind regarding which components I buy other than choosing a Nvidia graphics card? | 15:35 |

| === mrdeb_ is now known as mrdeb | ||

| amit_ | how can i change themes in 14.04? | 15:41 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: That looks correct; if your user is part of the "audio" group and has done a complete log-out/log-in so the group membership is known, then it should be working | 15:42 |
| jmss | nomodeset is in effect but did not solve the blanking :\ can it be the monitor also? I've had some problems with it also but I was able to install in text mode? can I use the same text mode? I wil try if I can disable loading the cedarview driver | 15:42 |
| bnutzer | any help with the 14.04 server installer partitioner? i'd like to have the usual efi setup, but with smaller root and larger swap. the guided installer didn't let me choose the sizes | 15:44 |
| ravindu | Any one know any good graphics cards for ubuntu 14.04 desktop? | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Amit: unity tweak can do that | 15:45 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, sorry, I got a disconnect | 15:45 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: intel has the best ones, unless you need high performance | 15:45 |
| foofoobar_ | Where is this channel logged to ? | 15:46 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: Yep | 15:46 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: I need high performance | 15:46 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: I was thinking of an AMD Radeon HD 5450 | 15:46 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: Will that work without any errors? Cuz im a noob | 15:46 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: then nvidia, but make sure the computer doesn't have optimus then | 15:46 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: What is optimuz? | 15:46 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: hybrid graphics, with intel and nvidia | 15:47 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, I dont know if you got my last message, here is my paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7685801/ | 15:47 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: so how do I make sure that the computer doesnt have hybrid graphics? | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !log | foofoobar_ | 15:47 |
| ubottu | foofoobar_: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. | 15:47 |
| foofoobar_ | ActionParsnip, thanks I found it. But they are not live. | 15:48 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: you need to read the specs carefully. they will list two graphics adapters then. most laptops have optimus, sadly | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ah | 15:48 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: specs of what? | 15:48 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: of the computer, of course | 15:48 |
| jmss | phew, this workaround worked: blacklist gma500_gfx, do you remember a more correct way? | 15:49 |
| ravindu | bnutzer: I've got a Gigabyte G41mt s2p mobo, 4 gigs of ram, Intel Dual Core e5700 processor and right now, intel G41 graphics | 15:49 |
| tillian | hello | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ravindu: id have put in 8Gb, its the maximum for the board. Ram is cheap :-) | 15:51 |
| ravindu | ActionParsnip: Yeah But I wanna know if Radeon Hd 5450 will work without any problem for me | 15:52 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, I had a bad crash yesterday when I tried to wake up from standby. Maybe this corrupted something related to the audio? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ravindu: should be ok, yes. The proproetary driver supports the gpu | 15:53 |
| bnutzer | how big should the efi partition be? i think another distro had 160 MB, but... | 15:53 |
| ravindu | ActionParsnip: So I just take plug it in the pciex16 slot connect the monitor to it, enable external PEG in bios and will it work? | 15:53 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: That looks correct; if your user is part of the "audio" group and has done a complete log-out/log-in so the group membership is known, then it should be working. | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ravindu: as far as i know, yes | 15:54 |
| ravindu | ActionParsnip: Thanks so much.. | 15:54 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: if it's not a laptop, you should be just fine. it's just known that nvidia has slightly higher performance than amd | 15:54 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: A crash could certainly cause some issues. What points to ownership/permissions is that you can use it with 'sudo' | 15:54 |
| ravindu | ActionParsnip: This is the first time I'm doing this, so wish me luck | 15:54 |
| === brad_ is now known as sencha | ||
| ravindu | bnutzer: What NVidia GPUs do you recommend for Ubuntu 14.04? | 15:54 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, so how can I "reset" those audio related permissions? | 15:55 |
| TJ- | bnutzer: 128MB is more than enough unless you intend to install multiple direct-boot Linux kernels in the EFI SP | 15:55 |
| bnutzer | TJ-: thanks | 15:55 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: Well so far they all look OK, that is the strange part | 15:55 |
| zacktu | How can I change the time before suspend to be more than the default 2 hours? | 15:55 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, okay.. Is there anything else I can do ? | 15:56 |
| jmss | ok, thanks for the hints, bye | 15:56 |
| bnutzer | ravindu: i recommend trying it out with your current hw and buying something else if you're not happy :) | 15:56 |
| TJ- | foobrew: Yes. run strace and find out what is going on! "strace -o /tmp/aplay.strace.log -e trace=file aplay $YOURFILE" and then pastebin the "/tmp/aplay.strace.log" for us | 15:57 |

| wilee-nilee | Sander^home, If this is brasero I turn off the file checksum in edit myself. | 16:02 |
| wilee-nilee | the write takes as long as the burn | 16:02 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: When it fails is any message printed? | 16:06 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, no. | 16:06 |
| Sander^home | wilee-nilee, there is no option to not write checksums. | 16:07 |
| Sander^home | wilee-nilee, and yes. its brasero :) | 16:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Sander^home, Not sure really with brasero I only used it a couple of days ago not having messed with it for years. | 16:09 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: bear with me; I'm comparing the strace with one captured locally | 16:10 |
| Sander^home | wilee-nilee, do you know another burning program I can use? | 16:10 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, okay, thank you. | 16:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Sander^home, there is a kubuntu burner k3b that works nicely but will add a lot of packages to ubuntu to be used. | 16:11 |
| wilee-nilee | more packages anyway | 16:12 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: OK, the only thing I can figure it, since the captures are mostly the same, is that your user's local pulseaudio configuration has selected a default output device (sink) that is not connected to something audible. Is the user able to produce any sound from any sound-emitting applications, such as audio in videos ? | 16:13 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, no, the user is not able to play any sound. | 16:13 |
| foofoobar_ | Even when I'm adjusting the volume the "clicks" I get when going up/down are not played. Also the drums when logging in are not played. | 16:14 |
| Locke2002 | If when I boot into the desktop, it gives me an error that only says report or cancel, what log can I check to see what it was about? | 16:14 |
| TJ- | foofoobar_: Just as an exercise, have you tried playing sound using the Guest account, and/or by creating a new user and using that account? It looks like a user-specific configuration issue right now | 16:14 |
| foofoobar_ | TJ-, no, I did not. I will do this and come back. But when the gnome login window appears, there is also no sound. | 16:15 |
| Meerkat | how do I get that sweet looking penguin image when I boot? | 16:15 |

| foofoobar_ | I'm doing the guest sound test now, be right back. | 16:16 |
| panther_ | I tried the #linuxmint channel. No help | 16:17 |
| panther_ | I thought I could ask you guys | 16:17 |
| bazhang_ | !mintsupport | panther_ | 16:17 |
| ubottu | panther_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 16:17 |
| panther_ | ugh. | 16:18 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, I can here the drums on the login screen! (This was not working before) | 16:18 |
| foofoobar | However, also no sound under the guest account. | 16:18 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: Aha! OK, and in that pacmd list output it says the default output device (sink) is HDMI - is that correct? | 16:18 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, no, thats not correct. I have a display attached over dvi->hdmi | 16:19 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, oh god, I got it.. | 16:19 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: Then that is probably the issue - sound is being directed to the HDMI by default "Default sink name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo" | 16:19 |
| foofoobar | In the gnome-control-center app under "audio" I can select an outptu device. | 16:20 |
| foofoobar | There is a second entry - HDMI which is selected. | 16:20 |
| foofoobar | Why is my display recoginzed as an output device? | 16:20 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, thanks a lot for your help, my fault I have not looked there! | 16:20 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: Because the graphics card has an HDMI audio output | 16:21 |
| gadevoi | hello | 16:21 |
| gadevoi | i have an issue that i can't seem to fix | 16:21 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: This is a common issue, but your focus on the "aplay" and sudo mislead me into thinking you were trying to solve a permissions issue | 16:21 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, yeah I also thought its a permission issue.. So when using sudo the preferences from gnome-control-center are ignored? | 16:23 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: aplay is ALSA 'play' - I assume when run with 'sudo' it directly accesses the hardware devices but when run as an (unprivileged) user it uses the pulseaudio sound server | 16:25 |
| linuxuz3r | is systemd and upstart the same | 16:25 |
| foofoobar | TJ-, okay. Thanks again for your help! | 16:25 |

| bazhang_ | linuxuz3r, no they are not the same | 16:26 |

| gdeeble | Hi, I've kind of reached a stumbling block. I had a perfectly working system, with a Raid1 for my OS and a single drive for storage, and now I went to a Raid1 and Raid5 set up. When I boot, I get the "Drive disk not ready..." it's for the boot partition, though I can boot in. It also seems that when creating the array, I set it for md130(oddly it set my Boot as 127, swap 126 and root 125 when I created the raid 1). Anyone have sugg | 16:28 |
| jimbohertz | i dont even know | 16:28 |
| === gianni is now known as Guest55218 | ||
| TJ- | linuxuz3r: the logind and udevd parts are used, but not the init system. That is due later as/when Debian adopts it and Ubuntu syncs from that | 16:29 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: The "/boot/" lives on the RAID1 OS mirror? | 16:30 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: Yes. | 16:30 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: Is the error from GRUB boot-loader, or during the linux start-up | 16:30 |
| linuxuz3r | TJ-, reading it now | 16:31 |
| gdeeble | I followed the tutorial and have had no issues up till now and it still boots without issue, just have to sit till it gets to "the disk drive for /boot is not ready yet or present" and hit s to bypass | 16:31 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: That suggests that mountall is taking its time dealing with the assembly of the 2 arrays, causing a temporary stall | 16:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | Hey guys I need help! I have Xubuntu 12.04, installed and when using android SDK and other tools, like firefox all text is white on a gray background (for tabs for example) I Cannot really see anything, all warning text is white on a white background! i have to constantly highlight all text to read it, is there a way to fix it... i am reading it is a GTK issue? | 16:33 |

| dfcnvt | I'm currently doing upgrade on my system and this is what I got during installation. http://imgur.com/znOQZrp | 16:36 |
| dfcnvt | I'm uncertain what this mean about "PermitRootLogin without-password". | 16:36 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: Anyway to stop the stall because it never stalled prior to me adding the raid5 in and updating Fstab to change mount point | 16:36 |
| dfcnvt | It sound obvious that it will login as root without password. | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dfcnvt: did you enable root to ssh to the server by editting /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dfcnvt: this is not default behaviour and blocking ssh connections as root is a great way to protect your system. | 16:38 |
| dfcnvt | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure if I had. | 16:38 |
| dfcnvt | ActionParsnip: So, I guess it will becomes secure if I check-marked it? | 16:39 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: I'd want to check that mdadm isn't taking its time assembling the RAID-5... it sounds as if that might be the issue | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dfcnvt: then it wont be but i suggest you make the OS more secure by leaving the box unchecked. | 16:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Psil0Cybin, Have you changed the theme? | 16:40 |
| linuxuz3r | which is the default in ubuntu upstart or systemd | 16:40 |
| dfcnvt | ActionParsnip: Thank you. This is what i was concerned about. Leaving it unchecked. Thanks. | 16:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | wilee-nilee, all the ones i like, do the same thing (dark themes) all light color themes are fine | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: in which release? | 16:41 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: also, you may be able to speed things up by ensuring there's a correctly configured mdadm.conf for the arrays, so the system doesn't have to to scan all devices | 16:41 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: I built it last night and it was fully operational before I pushed it, as I did an rysnc from single disk over to the raid5 so I could remove the single disk from the system. That's what's odd. Now the Raid 5 is stating that it's got to "resync" | 16:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Psil0Cybin, These are onboard themes it sounds like? | 16:41 |
| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip, 14.04 | 16:41 |
| wilee-nilee | no downloads | 16:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | correct wilnee-nilee | 16:41 |
| === gianni_ is now known as Guest36133 | ||
| gdeeble | TJ-: Can you point me in the direction of what I should be searching for? I understand a lot of the raid stuff from a windows standpoint, however, linux... not my best at haha. | 16:42 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: which means the array is still in an inconsistent state, so the disks will be sorting themselves out | 16:42 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: Thus meaning leave it sit till it boots on it's own? | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: seems to be upstart http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 | 16:42 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: give the system time to become consistent then it should be fine, assuming it is shut-down cleanly | 16:42 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: what does "cat /proc/mdstat" report? | 16:43 |
| jimbohertz | told yyuuhh | 16:43 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 16:43 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: It's missing the boot raid container from it and the new raid 5 is resync=PENDING | 16:44 |
| gdeeble | I have been restarting quit frequently to try to figure this out so may be that has something to do with it | 16:44 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: does it also say "auto-read-only" | 16:45 |
| gdeeble | Yes | 16:45 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: I removed it from FStab for the current time being | 16:45 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: "sudo mdadm --readwrite /dev/mdX" (replace X) | 16:45 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: now do "cat /proc/mdstat" | 16:46 |
| XposWinU | best alternative to "File Roller" archive manager? | 16:46 |
| gdeeble | TJ-: Working on it, the odd thing is though mdstat only shows 3 containers not 4 | 16:47 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: by containers, you mean separate MD devices? | 16:47 |
| gdeeble | correct | 16:48 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: the missing one being the RAID-1 with "/boot/" on? | 16:48 |
| CrRaul | Hy...I'm new in linux and I'd like to know if can install office? | 16:48 |

| TJ- | gdeeble: alternatively to mdadm.conf, you can change the 'preferred minor' number of an array. Use "mdadm --detail /dev/mdX" to discover the current preference | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | brasileiro: if you use a non compoziting session like xfce is it ok (you can install xfce4 package, log off then log in to the new xfce session) | 16:52 |
| TJ- | gdeeble: possibly. It's not clear as yet whether the delay on assembling the RAID-5 was preventing the RAID-1 from being ready in time for mountall | 16:52 |

| ActionParsnip | brasileiro: if xfce is ok then we know that compiz is to blame (becuse imho its junk) | 16:58 |
| brasileiro | ActionParsnip, ok, gonna try that right now =) | 16:59 |
| Psil0Cybin | is there an easy way to edit a gtk theme so that i can change the background color of text box's | 17:01 |
| Psil0Cybin | if i like the theme but for some reason the theme text is gray and the background color is the same | 17:01 |
| brasileiro | ActionParsnip, yeah, that was it... | 17:02 |
| brasileiro | ActionParsnip, incredible! thank you very much!! | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | brasileiro: no worries | 17:02 |
| OerHeks | Psil0Cybin, there still is no theme editor, but maybe this page is any help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Theming | 17:05 |

| Jonii_ | Hello. All my Ubuntu installations seem to be very prone to crashing if battery goes below 2h remaining | 17:10 |
| Jonii_ | Basically to the extent that almost 50% of my battery life is completely useless, since I never get to use anything below 50% as the computer simply crashes if I go below that point | 17:10 |
| Jonii_ | Any ideas why this happens and how to prevent it? It seems to coincide with random spikes of doing cpu intensive stuff, like opening programs. Having screen brightness setting anywhere above 0% is a guaranteed way to make it happen as well | 17:11 |
| eXile | I have something really strange happening, after boot, about 5 minutes or so later, theres a crazy loop of "lshw | grep version | head -1", so many times I actully run out of memory, load skyrocket. I cant seem to find where its running from any ideas? I just disabled cron and its not a cronjob, its still happening | 17:13 |
| vmnovak | Good Afternoon All, I was wondering if anyone here was framilar with setting up VPN servers in Ubuntu. I've tried a couple of solutions (OpenVPN, L2TPServer) and have had no luck making it work. I really think I'm failing to understand something. | 17:13 |

| [[thufir]] | very weird. I can't ping google, but IRC works fine... | 17:16 |
| terminator2 | opera ssl error how to fix it | 17:16 |
| brasileiro__ | ActionParsnip, just another question... to change completely to xfce4 all i need to do is remove ubuntu-desktop and install xubuntu-desktop using apt-get? | 17:17 |
| [[thufir]] | how can it be that most websites give "Server not found" in firefox, I can't ping google, but can chat on IRC? I'm on a home network. I connect to a router, which has a wireless adapter, which connects to the landlords wifi. (weird, I know, but works.) how do I know whether is a problem with the ISP, my network, my landlords network, or my computer? | 17:20 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| === brasileiro__ is now known as brasileiro | ||
| [[thufir]] | to top it all off, I can go on askubuntu.com and stackoverflow.com, but not google or, really, anything else. "server not found" makes no sense at all... | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | [[thufir]], dns issue, you connect to freenode by IP | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | oh, that makes no sense indeed | 17:22 |
| vmnovak | ActionParsnip, My understanding is that PPTP is insecure? | 17:23 |
| Jonii_ | [[thufir]]: try this connecting to this ip using firefox: 80.239.229.214 | 17:23 |
| [[thufir]] | Jonii_: yup, that works. google comes up fine. this is dns issue? | 17:23 |
| DJJeff | I did apt-get purge pulseaudio now youtube videos in firefox are playing just fine | 17:23 |
| DJJeff | is it just me or pulseaudio is garbage | 17:24 |
| Jonii_ | [[thufir]]: well, i'm far from an expert, but I certainly seems that way | 17:24 |
| Jonii_ | it* | 17:24 |
| [[thufir]] | I thought I was in the twilight zone. there's some sort of free dns I can use, instead of my ISP, right? I'll try that. | 17:25 |

| bart | Hi | 17:27 |
| === bart is now known as Guest43157 | ||
| Guest43157 | is it possible to switch into single user mode without rebooting the computer in Ubuntu? | 17:27 |
| [[thufir]] | I can't google it, no results when I google dns 8.8.8.8 so, I can just put 8.8.8.8 into my "wired connection 1" as an alternate DNS server? | 17:28 |
| OerHeks | [[thufir]], i would use the adress of your landlords wifi ip | 17:29 |
| [[thufir]] | as in 192.168.1.1 (IIRC) for DNS? keep in mind, that there are three routers involved: landlord -> GWU627 -> home router they are all routers. the GWU627 is an IOgear wifi adapter which does NAT and provides an IP address, I think 192.168.0.1, to my home router. if that makes any sense. Maybe I'll just powercycle everything first. | 17:33 |

| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: its worked up to now... | 17:52 |

| ActionParsnip | fffff: have you tried both? | 17:52 |
| fffff | yes | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ttynewbie: use unetbootin. Be sure to MD5 test the ISO if you downloaded it yourself. | 17:52 |
| theadmin | ttynewbie: dd does work with latest releases | 17:53 |
| theadmin | ttynewbie: Works with 12.04 and later, not sure about earlier | 17:53 |
| theadmin | ttynewbie: Are you sure you're doing it right? You have to write to a drive, not a partition, like this: sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdz | 17:53 |
| theadmin | ttynewbie: (note: sdz, not sdz1) | 17:53 |

| Jonii_ | ActionParsnip: that much I knew, but I don't see the relevance of this. I just mentioned this because alexi5 seemed to be about to install Netflix Desktop, and thought he should know what to expect | 18:48 |

| oddant | ActionParsnip: i changed some parameters in the manager because i am on a old computer and wanted the graphical interface to be lighter, but i think after i unselected opengl from the panel it went crazy and removed all the components from my GUI except folders (even i reboot there is nothing on the desktop anymore) | 18:50 |

| ActionParsnip | oddant: if you have an older pc, you may want to use lxde or xfce4 | 18:51 |
| oddant | i wish i used those but i can't even reach my browser anymore | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | oddant: press CTRL+ALT+T do you get a terminal? | 18:54 |
| oddant | yes i do, and that's why i wanted to open the graphical interface of compiz settings | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | oddant: run: sudo apt-get install lxde; killall -u $USER | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | oddant: on the login page, change the session to LXDE and login | 18:55 |
| oddant | ok i'll try | 18:55 |
| oddant | thanks | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Np | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | oddant: you dont need to change the command i gave, just run it as given | 18:56 |

| oddant | don't you know if there is a way to have the same shortcut than unity using lxde (i like to arrange my windows during programming and so) | 18:58 |
| sydney | That is rediculous to make a face out of xd | 18:58 |
| sydney | oddant: What do you mean? | 18:59 |
| oddant | it was a question for ActionParsnip | 18:59 |

| linuxuz3r | im behind a a wireless lan im just wondering if i change my nameserver name will other people connect to my machine using the name server i created | 19:04 |
| pavlos | dj_beirut, this may help ... http://ithelpblog.com/os/linux/debian/ubuntu-debian/create-sub-interface-secondary-ip-address-ubuntu-debian/ | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: you can change dns servers with no ill effects. Or do you mean your hostname of your computer? | 19:05 |
| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip, i want to set my ip to www.THISISCOOL.com | 19:06 |
| linuxuz3r | can i do that by changing something in ubuntu | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: then you will need to buy the name | 19:06 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 19:07 |
| linuxuz3r | then connect my dns to the name right | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: you can point the name to your routers WAN IP and port forward as you need. | 19:07 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: you wont change anything on your system. | 19:07 |
| linuxuz3r | my router uses dhcp do i need special router for it | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: no, not at all | 19:08 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 19:08 |
| mzaza | Is TLP better than Laptop-Mode? | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: if your wan ip changes then it may cause issues but most ISPs give the same IP. Depends on the provider. | 19:09 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 19:09 |
| mzaza | I am looking for a way to enhance battery life to the maximum on my laptop, PowerTop seems to forget the settings after a reboot. So I was thinking can TLP and laptop-mode be compared? | 19:09 |
| rigo88 | hi. i get 600 fps with glxgears. any suggestions why? | 19:11 |
| mzaza | I red everywhere that laptop-mode isn't need anymore as it's supported in newer version of Ubuntu. | 19:12 |
| rigo88 | any ideas i mean | 19:12 |
| Beldar | mzaza, you will in the end get at best a incremental improvement, the drivers for battery use are all reversed engineered basically. | 19:12 |
| pavlos | rigo88, I get between 60-70 fps which is the refresh rate of my monitor | 19:12 |
| OerHeks | rigo88, what is wrong with that? lcd needs 50 frames or so | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Rigo: because thats as fast as your gpu can render it..... | 19:13 |
| rigo88 | i should get around 3-4000. (as i did with my previous install) | 19:13 |
| mzaza | Beldar: So it's a Linux problem in general. Right? | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rigo88: you cant see more than 30.... | 19:13 |
| Beldar | mzaza, no it's a manufacturers not writing for linux problem. | 19:14 |
| NthDegree | O_o | 19:14 |
| NthDegree | You guys are not serious right? | 19:14 |
| rigo88 | of course with vblank_mode=0 | 19:14 |
| mzaza | Beldar: Ah, :( | 19:14 |
| NthDegree | Battery use in Linux is easy to minimise with powertop | 19:14 |
| NthDegree | and with Lubuntu you can easily get a full 8-10 hours battery | 19:14 |
| Beldar | NthDegree, but will barely make a difference is all. | 19:15 |
| NthDegree | hardly, the difference for me has been up to 50% | 19:15 |
| rigo88 | so im not at the right place to ask. :) | 19:15 |
| CrRaul | heloo..How can I set the laptop brightness...? | 19:15 |
| Beldar | NthDegree, then you are a miracle worker if you mean with powertop, be clear and exact. | 19:15 |
| NthDegree | Beldar, no, the truth is Linux is very well optimised, Xorg is a battery sucker | 19:16 |
| Beldar | NthDegree, I did not say it was not, you are projecting. | 19:16 |
| NthDegree | You use powertop, follow recommendations and then switch to a light DE like LXDE or XFCE | 19:16 |
| Beldar | NthDegree, But I can tell you are always right no matter what so our conversation is over. ;) | 19:17 |
| * NthDegree just cannot be bothered to give a step by step howto on something that's already well-documented O_o | 19:18 | |

| Dylan | Anyone have any idea on my question or shall I quest elsewhere for an answer? | 19:21 |
| NthDegree | nzerob, for NVIDIA GPUs, you'll need to enable coolbits to control the fan speed | 19:21 |
| Beldar | Spec, that is what I wondered. | 19:21 |
| Spec | Beldar: it's a GUI program that'll let you do anything, including controlling fan speeds and monitoring temperatures. | 19:21 |

| nzerob | I have Linux Mint. Why do I see connections to Canonical then? | 19:45 |
| Beldar | g0twig, have some patience, that is not in 14.04 as you know and there is lots of info on the web while you wait. | 19:45 |
| bekks | nzerob: Because Mint uses Ubuntu repos, partially. | 19:45 |
| Jonii_ | nzerob: because Ubuntu is Debian but changed, and Mint is Ubuntu but changed back towards Debian | 19:46 |
| Jonii_ | Also, why does Ubuntu fail at battery usage? If I go below 2h remaining on my battery, Ubuntu pretty reliably just turns off with various graphical glitches manifesting moments before that happens | 19:47 |
| Jonii_ | I used to have windows on the same laptop, and it had longer battery life as measured what system indicated, and I could use it for whatever even when the clock indicated battery was going to die in 5min | 19:48 |
| g0twig | Beldar: thank you for nothing | 19:48 |
| Jonii_ | It's a pretty crippling disability for Ubuntu | 19:48 |
| Jonii_ | And I don't understand why is it even happening | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Jonii_: there can be lots of power managment problems, depending on many things | 19:49 |
| san13 | Jonii__ do you have gpu? | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Jonii_: it's rare it's an actual ubuntu problem, but more likely a limitation with Linux/your hardware | 19:49 |
| kilab33z | i would think the battery usage is a direct result in how each distro handles cpu cycles differently | 19:49 |
| kilab33z | but purely a guess | 19:49 |
| OerHeks | g0twig, install the package you want like apt-get install <package>:i386 | 19:49 |
| san13 | Jonii__:i mean any card like nvidia or amd? | 19:49 |

| mac_nibblet | but the older kernel installed works fine | 20:11 |

| ActionParsnip | mac_nibblet: cheap too | 20:12 |
| mac_nibblet | ActionParsnip: i like the fact it fits in my palm | 20:12 |
| cylonmath | I'll try a reboot... | 20:13 |
| mac_nibblet | really convienient when you need a bit more power then a laptop | 20:13 |
| san13 | cylonmath whats ur exact need? | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mac_nibblet: i have a tronsmart s89 which is equally small. | 20:13 |
| mac_nibblet | but any how, suggestions on how to debug the kernel panic ? | 20:13 |
| * mac_nibblet has not messed with kernels since my time with gentoo | 20:13 | |
| ActionParsnip | Cylonmath: seems to be a switching gpu setup as your cpu has an Intel GPU in it | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mac_nibblet: tried the kernel ppa, install the newest kernel may help | 20:14 |
| blubaustin | or compile a custom one | 20:14 |
| mac_nibblet | ActionParsnip: itäs the latest one that is causing the KP | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mac_nibblet: from the kernel ppa? | 20:15 |
| mac_nibblet | by latest i mean 3.13.0-29-generic | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mac_nibblet: there is newer | 20:15 |
| cylonmath | It works now. In the guide it didnt mention i should run "nvidia-xconfig" for generating xorg.conf... | 20:16 |
| mac_nibblet | hmm, shouldn't that be available via dist-upgrade then ? | 20:16 |

| Pritchard | Does anyone here use Ubuntu within a Parallels VM? I need to do some network scanning, but as far as I can tell, Ubuntu/Parallels are mapping my WiFi to a wired ethernet connection only. | 20:28 |
| daftykins | Pritchard: you can't scan for wireless networks with a VM | 20:29 |
| Pritchard | daftykins: Ah. | 20:30 |
| teward | Pritchard, a VM doesn't read your wifi card as a wifi adapter, it's always going to treat it as a direct connection. | 20:30 |
| daftykins | Pritchard: you would need virt tech that allows passing the wifi device through to the VM to use natively, which would then take it away from the host OS | 20:30 |

| entreri | pavlos, ok, so I did that on a file in a CD disk mount-point, and its copy on my local disk, to see if they were copied exactly the same. The file on disk prints '02119 138842 Track 1', its copy prints '00175 138842 Track 1' | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Squ4lli: thats because in Windows you set it up.... Doesnt mean anything | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Squ4lli: is it pci based (internal) or usb based? | 20:55 |
| entreri | pavlos, the first digit series is not the same, so does that mean they're not identical copies ? | 20:56 |
| Squ4lli | Pci | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Squ4lli: if you run: lspci ,one line will identify the card, what is it please? | 20:56 |

| VinceN | So I have what I think is a network routing issue. I have a server running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a OpenVPN server. I've configured the server and connected too it from a windows 7 machine. I try to route traffic out through the VPN but it isn't getting out to the network. | 21:32 |
| VinceN | I can ping and surf to local resources on the server however so I'm sure the VPN is fine. The issue is with my routing. | 21:33 |

| Sunstream | LTS 5 years? | 22:04 |
| k1l | yes | 22:04 |
| k1l | Sunstream: see the links the bot gave you | 22:04 |
| Sunstream | Okay I assumed "LTS= Long Term Support" | 22:04 |
| Sunstream | waiting for them to open | 22:05 |
| sydney | Sunstream: yes,you are correct. :D | 22:05 |
| k1l | it is Long Term Support. that is why it got 5 years support instead of 9 month. | 22:05 |
| Sunstream | I have a very slow system | 22:05 |

| Aaraigathor | Hello, I'm having a persistant issue with my mouse cursor going invisible but still able to move it and function, just can't see it.

| Sunstream | 12.04.1 12.04.2 12.04.3 all do not show a EOL under current | 22:10 |
| Sunstream | I assume they are 5 years | 22:10 |
| k1l | Sunstream: the "point releases" are like servicepacks from windows. | 22:10 |
| k1l | they dont have a EOL since the become the next point release with regular updates | 22:10 |
| Sunstream | Nods so they go on the original date of the main | 22:10 |
| Sunstream | so they all end on April 26, 2017 | 22:11 |
| k1l | yes | 22:11 |
| ki7mt | Yes, APR 2017 | 22:11 |
| Sunstream | Since the 12.04 LTS was relased then | 22:11 |
| Sunstream | Okay so how do I update or get to a beta test of the future release? | 22:12 |
| Sunstream | Or do I have to sign up for that like I did for Windows 8 | 22:12 |
| k1l | !beta | Sunstream but be aware the alpha/betas are for experineced users and will cause you some issues | 22:12 |
| ubottu | Sunstream but be aware the alpha/betas are for experineced users and will cause you some issues: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Utopic and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 22:12 |
| sydney | Sunstream: So,what do you want to do exactly? Upgrade a system,or do a fresh install? | 22:12 |
| sydney | Sunstream: Or try a beta? | 22:13 |
| bprompt | Sunstream: if it ain't broken, don't fix it :P~ | 22:13 |

| sydney | Sunstream: ahh | 22:14 |
| sydney | Sunstream: If you want speed,go with lubuntu 14.04 | 22:14 |
| k1l | Sunstream: if you got a low spec pc try lubuntu | 22:14 |
| ki7mt | Sunstream, you may want to ask in ubuntu+1 for 14.10 .. just a word of caution, it's very unstable at the moment. | 22:14 |

| whitepowder | Hello all! I need to intall 12.04.4 from a usb stick, preferably something similar to the hd-media stuff. I've got 2 partitions, one fat16 and one btrfs (i could just as easily use something else linux friendly). The goal is to be able to modify preseed and add packages easily, and yes i *have* to use 12.04.4 | 23:12 |
| sydney | Sunstream: Im going to be away from my keyboard for a while,bye!! | 23:12 |
| Sunstream | I tested my emulator and it too worked | 23:13 |
| rsw | how far are you in this process whitepowder | 23:13 |
| whitepowder | I currently use syslinux as my loader, since it works on more machines i've tried than grub2/grub legacy | 23:14 |
| whitepowder | rsw: Right now, i've pulled initrd and vmlinuz out of iso's /install/ dir, put the iso in my fat16 part and gotten syslinux to boot it, however even with iso-scan/filename=/iso/kubuntu-12.04.4-alternate-amd64.iso i'm told the cdrom isnt usable | 23:15 |
| whitepowder | From what i've found googling, there seem to be problems in hd-media occuring sometime after 11.x. I'm not dead set on hd-media, but i'd really like to keep preseed file on a fat16 partition so that it can be modified from a windows machine (or the copy of freedos i've gotten working on here) | 23:16 |

| whitepowder | Also another concern i've got-- 12.04.4 is an LTS release-- This means that the kernel version will stay the same, correct? Newer kernels wont work with a driver that i need (tw68-v2 for techwell tw6804 chips) | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | whitepowder: I think that iso-scan/filename= is for Live media only, not for alternate/server/anything using d-i. | 23:28 |
| k1l | whitepowder: if you dont use a newer lts-kernel from the enablement stack there will be no major kernel change | 23:29 |
| whitepowder | Jordan_U: Originally i had a desktop iso, had similar issue but different message | 23:29 |
| whitepowder | k1l: Great, thanks. That was my hope with going back to the last LTS that worked for this machine. 14.04 i couldnt get the driver to compile, after a bit of hacking on it, still no luck and just said heck with it i'll go back to 12.04 | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | whitepowder: What is the exact configuration you used with the live iso, and what was the exact error message? | 23:30 |
| whitepowder | Jordan_U: Give me a few, i'll copy that iso back onto the usb stick and try it again | 23:30 |
| whitepowder | Actually, give me a long while :( Deleted it since didnt work | 23:31 |
| whitepowder | Jordan_U: Will -desktop (live) work with preseeding? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | whitepowder: If you can, please follow http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F as that way I'll know that the configuration is sound (at least as a starting point). | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | whitepowder: I don't know. | 23:32 |
| whitepowder | Jordan_U: Pretty sure not, but it's downloading and while I wait, i suppose i can try to get a chainloaded grub2 on here | 23:35 |
| dfrey | How do I figure out why I'm getting "The system is running in low-graphics mode" message when X starts? | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | whitepowder: It's not critical that grub be used, it's just that if you're using the loopback.cfg shipped on the iso you know that if the kernel gets loaded at all, the right kernel parameters have also been passed. You can also just look at the loopback.cfg and make sure you're passing the same kernel parameters. | 23:37 |
| testing22 | so i’m using ubuntu 12.04 with curl 7.22 and i’m trying to download a gzipped tarball (tar.gz) and the resulting file is only a tarball. on my workstation (mac) using curl it’s a gzipped tarball (as expected)… i’ve tried —raw, headers, etc. anyone else run in to this issue? | 23:38 |

| whitepowder | Jordan_U: An even better option for me would be to ditch the iso file and have a local partial mirror on the usb stick, maybe on the second (btrfs or ext[234]) partition. Any thoughts on how that could work out? I'm thinking maybe net install image and my preseed file set to use file:/// mirror? Just some thoughts that would make my life massively easier | 23:41 |
