[00:02] <arlequin> Hi everybody
[00:03] <arlequin> a friend of mine is having problems rurnning skype in ubuntu
[00:04] <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] <arlequin> skype in the terminal generates: Violación de segmento (`core' generado)
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <Akiba_> anyone?
[00:07] <SonikkuAmerica> Akiba_: Influenced by marketing? Do you mean the "smart scopes" feature?
[00:08] <holstein> Akiba_: influenced by marketing? i mean, any development could have been.. and likely was
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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.
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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..
[00:12] <edition> thats not a fair test!
[00:12] <SonikkuAmerica> lol
[00:12] <SonikkuAmerica> Maybe y'all should try the Debian popularity contest
[00:12] <edition> btw, Windows came from OS/2 (from UNIX). cool fact.
[00:13] <edition> still trying to get soundfont out of 100s of zips!
[00:14] <arlequin> how can I see a all available versions of a package?
[00:14] <Akiba_> aight thanks holstein
[00:14] <zend_> 0exit
[00:14] <arlequin> I'm interested in libglib2.0-dev
[00:15] <SchrodingersScat> !info libglib2.0-dev | arlequin: apt-cache show libglib2.0-dev
[00:16] <arlequin> thanks
[00:16] <subz3r0> you're welcome
[00:16] <arlequin> but the only version is 2.40.0-2 ?
[00:17] <arlequin> can't I downgrade my package to a previous version ?
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> arlequin: idk, but these people put words on the internet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get
[00:18] <edition> how to use grep?
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> edition: man grep
[00:18] <C4Cypher> I could weep for joy, X-COM Enemy Unknown is finally availible for Linux.
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> C4Cypher: huzzah
[00:18] <edition> thanks
[00:19] <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>
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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 !
[00:22] <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] <basementcomputer> i looked it up and its listed on ubuntus wiki
[00:22] <holstein> !broadcom | basementcomputer
[00:22] <edition> which IDE do you use for C++?
[00:22] <arlequin> holstein: how can I do it ?
[00:23] <holstein> ^ thats what you referenced, basementcomputer ?
[00:23] <holstein> arlequin: locate an older version, and use it
[00:23] <basementcomputer> holstein, this is jhag2 im on another computer
[00:23] <C4Cypher> edition:  man is your best friend.  Anytime you ever, EVER have a question about a command line command, man it.  I've found it useful to know that the 'q' key will quit out of a man page, the 'f' key will flip forward a whole page, and 'b' will flip back a whole page.
[00:23] <basementcomputer> trying to get this wireless to work
[00:23] <holstein> arlequin: at your own rist, of course
[00:23] <arlequin> downloading a previos version from the internet ?
[00:23] <SchrodingersScat> !dpkg | arlequin
[00:23] <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?
[00:23] <edition> dog is my friend :)
[00:23] <holstein> basementcomputer: it'll be the same as before, assuming there is sofware available to provide support..
[00:24] <C4Cypher> cat is my friend. ^^
[00:25] <arlequin> where I locate previos versions of a specific package ?
[00:25] <arlequin> previous*
[00:25] <edition> C4Cypher has friends
[00:25] <holstein> arlequin: i would just search the internet.. looking in older repositories.. and expect breakage
[00:25]  * C4Cypher has a cat, and everything that comes with that.
[00:26] <edition> where is ffplay?
[00:26] <freezer> at your mums?
[00:27] <holstein> edition: are you tring to play a soundfont? i use qsynth
[00:27] <edition> yeah. its with my windows backup collection of zips
[00:27] <holstein> freezer: please dont do that.. use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for chat and play.. thanks

[00:28] <edition> i dont want to redownload it
[00:28] <holstein> edition: where is ffplay?
[00:28] <holstein> edition: are you asking where ffmpeg is? http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04
[00:28] <edition> I can get through ffmpeg.org, via static builds
[00:28] <freezer> at least someone is reaction now :p
[00:29] <freezer> my original question was:
[00:29] <tomreyn> mark06: 14.04 x86_64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7682675/
[00:29] <freezer> Looking for a good howto to install Ubuntu on a MacBookPro late 2013
[00:29] <holstein> !install | freezer

[00:30] <subz3r0> mac?
[00:30] <subz3r0> wtf?
[00:30] <subz3r0> winfall?!
[00:30] <subz3r0> crap?
[00:30] <edition> interesting... I think its good that the ubuntu team made the decision
[00:30] <edition> to fork libavcodec.
[00:30] <subz3r0> "winDfall"

[00:31] <freezer> hmm

[00:31] <freezer> fffffffuck

[00:31] <Sharcho> Does anyone know what theme for the window controls/borders in this screenshot?  http://ubuntuportal.com/wp-content/uploads/Emerald-Themer-0.9.5_003.png
[00:31] <tomreyn> !ops | subz3r0
[00:31] <subz3r0> got it?
[00:32] <subz3r0> looks like
[00:32] <edition> right. lets find subz3r0's IP address...
[00:32] <SonikkuAmerica> Sharcho: For the window those themes are in? That's XFCE's Greybird theme
[00:32] <subz3r0> muahaha
[00:33] <subz3r0> funny
[00:33] <arlequin> holstein: where I find old repos ?
[00:33] <holstein> arlequin: i just search for them..
[00:34] <arlequin> I don't know how to do it :S
[00:34] <holstein> arlequin: its not supported, so i wont be able to suggest one, or link you where you should go.. you will need to use the supported pacakges and adress your issue otherwise if you want support
[00:34] <edition> Can the admin please get rid of subz3r0?
[00:34] <holstein> arlequin: you shouldnt need to.. you should try asking about the issue you are having..
[00:35] <IdleOne> edition: ignore them and go on about your day :)
[00:36] <edition> IdleOne: ignore them and watch your server get trolled
[00:36] <mark06> tomreyn: thanks!
[00:37] <IdleOne> edition: I'm not ignoring anything. What I meant to say was don't engage them. We are watching.
[00:37] <mark06> tomreyn: so it looks like something is messy in my vm... amd64 and 14.04 as well
[00:38] <basementcomputer> yeah
[00:38] <tomreyn> mark06: you didnt forget to apt-get update, did you? ;)
[00:38] <basementcomputer> it is the basement computer
[00:38] <tomreyn> mark06: check apt-get policy pidgin\*
[00:39] <basementcomputer> im trying to get some more life out of this old computer
[00:39] <edition> try a baseball bat :D
[00:41] <subz3r0> lol
[00:41] <IdleOne> edition: Please be helpful with your comments. If you feel like joking around #ubuntu-offtopic can always use another funny person
[00:41] <edition> sorry
[00:41] <edition> i need help with grep
[00:42] <holstein> edition: in what way?
[00:42] <edition> i want this file "general*.sf2"...
[00:42] <subz3r0> lol
[00:42] <holstein> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16138/how-to-search-text-throughout-entire-file-system
[00:42] <holstein> edition: i thought you said they were zipped up?
[00:43] <edition> piped from unzip (ie: each zip content)
[00:43] <subz3r0> http://www.1m.stackexchange.t0.r3.tarted.to.grep.nz.co
[00:43] <edition> unzip -c "$file" | grep etc
[00:43] <holstein> edition: ok.. go for it..maybe you dont have generalMIDI.sf2
[00:43] <napsc> edition, there is a command zgrep
[00:43] <edition> i do
[00:44] <tomreyn> zgrep works with gzip, not (info)zip
[00:45] <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...
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <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?
[00:48] <holstein> edition: i missed where that was suggested.. but, that may be easier for you
[00:48] <Sharcho> SonikkuAmerica: I found out it was the Elementary theme or one of its variants, http://sonnhy96.deviantart.com/art/ElementaryLi-elementary-on-Ubuntu-12-04-Unity-302283439
[00:48] <edition> thanks. Any help is good help.
[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] <edition> single directory -> multiple zips -> "generaluser*.sf2"
[00:51] <tomreyn> edition: for file in *.zip; do echo ARCHIVE: $file; unzip -l $file | grep -i 'general.*\.sf2'; echo; done
[00:53] <thetrav> I have two NIC's attached to my ubuntu server.  The first one doesn't have internet, the second one does.  I can't ping www.google.com (unknown host).  Do I need to configure anything to tell it to use eth1 to look for dns?
[00:56] <tomreyn> thetrav: you may need to update your default route
[00:57] <tomreyn> ip route show
[00:57] <thetrav> thanks tomreyn, however I don't know what that means… explanation or link?
[00:58] <thetrav> unfortunately I don't have ssh access to that machine, so can't copy paste… 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.3.0/24 is the first column, then dev eth0 proto kernal scope link src 10.0.0.11
[00:58] <tomreyn> thetrav: http://askubuntu.com/questions/31646/default-gateway-changing/403429#403429
[00:59] <thetrav> second line eth0 becomse eth1 and 10.0.0.11 becomse 10.0.3.15
[00:59] <manjaro_ringo> yeah dude
[00:59] <tomreyn> make that eth1 instead of eth0 if your internet connected interface is eth1
[00:59] <thetrav> oh
[01:00] <thetrav> there's 3 lines
[01:00] <thetrav> ok
[01:00] <tomreyn> you also need to adjust the gateway address to match that of your gateway
[01:01] <tomreyn> which will be either 10.0.0.11 or 10.0.3.15 i guess
[01:01] <thetrav> ok, I think I get it
[01:01] <thetrav> thanks
[01:02] <tomreyn> dont shoot your foot - good luck
[01:06] <iFlames-iPhone> How do I install gksu?
[01:06] <iFlames-iPhone> I get the error "unable to locate package gksu"
[01:07] <daftykins> !find gksu
[01:07] <iFlames-iPhone> daftykins?
[01:07] <daftykins> hi
[01:07] <iFlames-iPhone> Hi
[01:08] <daftykins> 14.04?
[01:08] <iFlames-iPhone> Yep
[01:08] <daftykins> !find gksudo
[01:08] <daftykins> hrmmph
[01:09] <daftykins> iFlames-iPhone: did you "apt-get update" first?
[01:09] <iFlames-iPhone> Yes
[01:09] <tomreyn> iFlames-iPhone: this suggests the package should be available: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gksu&exact=1
[01:09] <iFlames-iPhone> I know
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> But I'm still getting that error
[01:10] <tomreyn> on amd64 + i386. which architecture are oyu on?
[01:10] <daftykins> yeah perhaps your sources aren't enabled
[01:10] <daftykins> !info gksu
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> D64
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> Amd64
[01:10] <daftykins> it exists
[01:10] <daftykins> but it's in universe
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> So how do I enable my sources?
[01:11] <tomreyn> (sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy) | pastebinit
[01:11] <daftykins> system settings -> software and sources
[01:12] <tomreyn> the comamnd i just posted should return a url, which should have some text which should indicate what the problem is
[01:13] <InFlames> i was trying to restore the default login to ubuntu, but now i can't make it start, can anyone point me to some log file that might have some answers?
[01:13] <InFlames> what can i do from the shell?
[01:13] <tomreyn> "universe" is a repository section, which is not necessarily enabled by default. daftykins explained how to access the graphical interface which should allow for enabling this section.
[01:13] <iFlames-iPhone> Updating now
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> Downloading gksu
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> Thanks guys
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> :)
[01:15] <tomreyn> InFlames: what has made you end up in the situation you are in now, what were you using / testing before you decided to go back? what does "default login" refer to (the unity desktop interface?)? how are you trying to restore the default login, and how does it fail so far?
[01:15] <tomreyn> iFlames-iPhone: welcome
[01:17] <InFlames> tomreyn, i had lubuntu on it at one point and was in the process of removing it and i just want to restore my original login and i think it should boot fine
[01:17] <InFlames> sudo apt-get purge lubuntu-desktop, i believe is what i used
[01:19] <tomreyn> InFlames: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop lightdm
[01:19] <tomreyn> this might help
[01:20] <tomreyn> thought it's not entirely clear what your situation is now since you didn'T really answer much of what i asked.
[01:21] <InFlames> tomreyn, i'll answer anything i can
[01:21] <InFlames> i simply don't know how to tell you commands after commands entered on a machine i cannot access right now
[01:21] <scj643> hi
[01:22] <InFlames> yes, i was restoring the unity desktop login screen
[01:22] <InFlames> basically i'm stuck with a machine that won't boot, and i have no idea how to figure out where it's hanging
[01:22] <Ben64> InFlames: you should consider installing fresh
[01:23] <InFlames> Ben64, not an option, i wouldn't be asking for help with that
[01:23] <InFlames> i'd be fine but somehow i lost the passphrase
[01:23] <InFlames> is there a means i can use to recover it?
[01:23] <InFlames> it looks like my old partition was lvm and that it's partition table is suddenly invalid
[01:24] <PipinoPipinak> Ciao a tutti :)
[01:24] <InFlames> i know about ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase, but how can i use that from the recovery mode shell prompt?
[01:25] <InFlames> any ideas how i could recover it via lived?
[01:25] <Ben64> InFlames: well you kind of broke a lot of stuff by purging lubuntu-desktop
[01:25] <InFlames> i am aware
[01:25] <InFlames> but how does that hamper me from being able to fix it?
[01:26] <Ben64> because it broke a lot of stuff?
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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...
[01:28] <InFlames> see the dilemma now?
[01:28] <InFlames> i can't recover without the key
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <InFlames> but that would run against the live cd's key, no?
[01:31] <InFlames> how do i tell it which partition?
[01:32] <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"
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <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.
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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.
[01:38] <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?
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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] <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
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <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?
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <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
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <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?
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <daftykins> that is most definitely not english
[01:55] <InFlames> holstein, was i not being cordial with you?
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <Ben64> Faryshta: that's not an answer to the question...
[01:59] <mark06> holstein: with -V http://vpaste.net/tXAZQ
[02:00] <holstein> mark06: whats the question?
 Do I need to open the lappie to remove (disconnect) the HDD?
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <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.
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <SonikkuAmerica> Err, you shouldn't need a PPA for pidgin, we usually ship the latest version at feature freeze
[02:06] <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?
[02:07] <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] <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
[02:08] <linuxthe1ish> ubottu: boot-repair does not work for me, anything else?
[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
[02:09] <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 ^^^
[02:10] <linuxthe1ish> grub-install: error: unknown filesystem.
[02:10] <linuxthe1ish> :S
[02:11] <linuxthe1ish> oh wait nvm i'm not in live cd
[02:11] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: if you have broken the filesystem, it wont work
[02:12] <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.
[02:13] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: not sure how you know.. i test and see. and then, i reinstall if necessary
[02:13] <loaden> Could someone help me.
[02:14] <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.
[02:15] <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
[02:16] <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.
[02:17] <loaden> I can sure the restore is the right partition.
[02:17] <cfhowlett> loaden seems likely
[02:17]  * sveta mutters “backups, backups, backups”
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <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.
[02:21] <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] <Ben64> loaden: then pastebin it
[02:22] <loaden> Ben64: cfhowlett For now I use IRC on Windows.
[02:22] <loaden> I can only enter Ubuntu in shell
[02:23] <cfhowlett> loaden perfect.

[02:32] <Foxhoundz> how do I install the kernel souce and headers for ubuntu'
[02:32] <cfhowlett> !source|Foxhoundz
[02:32] <cfhowlett> Foxhoundz errr, ignore.
[02:32] <cfhowlett> !kernel
[02:32] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g)
[02:32] <RLW980> !RLW980 | he
[02:33] <Ben64> RLW980: stop that
[02:33] <RLW980> Ben64: sTOP WHAT LOL
[02:33] <Foxhoundz> why the regex?
[02:34] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: picks your currently installed and running version
[02:34] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: solves some issues, but i see now it wouldn't work with lts enablement stack
[02:36] <Foxhoundz> apt-get install linux-headers$(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
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <daftykins> IotaSpencer: it's all fine, perhaps you added a PPA

[02:40] <cfhowlett> IotaSpencer yeah, that does happen sometimes..
[02:41] <Foxhoundz> and how do I download the kernel source?
[02:42] <tomreyn> apt-get download linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
[02:43] <Foxhoundz> thank you
[02:43] <sinonie> hello
[02:43] <sinonie> i'm nuwbie here :)
[02:43] <cfhowlett> sinonie greetings.  ask your ubuntu questions
[02:44] <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] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: actually for the source you want this: apt-get source linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
[02:45] <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 :)
[02:46] <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?
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <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"
[02:50] <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] <osier> USE_KDUMP:        1
[02:50] <osier> KDUMP_SYSCTL:     kernel.panic_on_oops=1
[02:50] <osier> KDUMP_COREDIR:    /var/crash
[02:50] <osier> crashkernel addr: 0x2d000000
[02:50] <unopaste> osier you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[02:52] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: it didn't work when I plugged it in
[02:52] <Foxhoundz> lsusb doesn't even list the chipset vendor name
[02:53] <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~"
[02:54] <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 ~/
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <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/
[02:58] <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.
[02:59] <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.
[03:00] <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?
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <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
[03:03] <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!
[03:04] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: when you're not 100% on a command's syntax, you can always look at man pages eh? "man scp"
[03:05] <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] <Foxhoundz> it's doing it's thing
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> Wow
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> good for you
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> I'm so excited! :D
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> Stop ruining my moment, Ninja!
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> i've never managed to do it successfully
[03:05] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: that's lovely but you're oversharing
[03:06] <Foxhoundz> ...and error
[03:06] <eXile> maybe its a cron job or something...
[03:06] <daftykins> well don't keep us in suspense, Foxhoundz ;)
[03:06] <NinjaSaves> Whiskey is great
[03:07] <MartynKeigher> daftykins ... DONE! thanks for the -P
[03:07] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: any time.
[03:07] <Foxhoundz> no , no it worked
[03:08] <MartynKeigher> scp -P 22055 ~/logstash-forwarder/logstash-forwarder_0.3.1_amd64.deb dashing@172.16.10.21:/tmp   << That did it!
[03:08] <daftykins> hmm, not wher ei'd have put it but ok :)
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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.
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <daftykins> aiming to convert?
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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.
[03:15] <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"
[03:16] <Foxhoundz> I see an eth0 and lo
[03:16] <Foxhoundz> but no wlan0
[03:16] <daftykins> did your guide page have the modprobe command?
[03:17] <Foxhoundz> What guide page?
[03:17] <daftykins> well whatever you were following, did it include running "sudo modprobe 8812au" ?
[03:18] <Foxhoundz> I followed this http://blog.danielscrivano.com/installing-rtl8812au-on-linux-for-wireless-dual-band-usb-adapters/
[03:19] <daftykins> so... "yes" ? :)
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> but the actual source info didn't have anything
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> but yes
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> I did
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
[03:19] <actumegafoot> http://actumegafoot.tk/
[03:19] <cfhowlett> actumegafoot no spam.  no thank you.
[03:20] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: you know that's not the github link in the page?
[03:20] <asarch> One question about LVM: can I boot if the /boot partitions is part of the main LVM group?
[03:20] <LanDi> lol
[03:20] <LanDi> www.lolnux.com
[03:20] <asarch> In the howto, they use a separate /boot partition
[03:20] <cfhowlett> !spam|LanDi
[03:21] <LanDi> haha, it's just a funny quote
[03:21] <JoeSaan> How do I set up my Ubuntu 14.04 server so I don't have to use the -CAPath option with SSL?
[03:21] <cfhowlett> LanDi and yet, this is a support channel so - please don't.
[03:21] <JoeSaan> For some reaon OpenSSL just won't recognise the ca-certs?
[03:22] <JoeSaan> Well, won't automatically recognise..
[03:22] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: I didn't realize that
[03:22] <LanDi> ubottu: sorry
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <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
[03:24] <Foxhoundz> I unplugged it
[03:24] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: "lsmod | grep 88" should list "8812au", then unplug and replug
[03:25] <Foxhoundz> nada :(
[03:25] <daftykins> "ifconfig -a" again?
[03:25] <Foxhoundz> still shows only eth0 and lo
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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> ... :(
[03:28] <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?
[03:29] <Foxhoundz> lsmod | grep 88 shows 8812au in the list
[03:29] <neil0mac> While I can get the Ubuntu boot option, it doesn't actaully load.
[03:29] <daftykins> neil0mac: do you get as far as seeing 'try' on the menu?
[03:29] <neil0mac> No.
[03:30] <daftykins> neil0mac: which menu are you seeing then? black screen white text?
[03:30] <Guest95452> ?
[03:30] <Guest95452> nick
[03:31] <Guest95452> loaden
[03:31] <neil0mac> Umm. Yes AFAIK!
[03:31] <Guest95452> cat /tmp/test.lo
[03:31] <Guest95452> cat /tmp/test.log
[03:32] <daftykins> Guest95452: stop typing random junk in here please
[03:32] <JoeSaan> Why does this fail on Ubuntu 14.04: openssl s_client -connect google.com:443
[03:32] <JoeSaan>  ????
[03:34] <cfhowlett> JoeSaan works for me ...
[03:35] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: You don't get 20: unable to get local issuer certificate ?
[03:36] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: I'm using a fresh 14.04 Digital Ocean droplet which should be completely default?
[03:36] <daftykins> Foxhoundz + neil0mac - sorry guys i'm calling it a night now, feel free to ask other channel volunteers
[03:37] <Foxhoundz> ok
[03:37] <Foxhoundz> thanks for the help
[03:37] <neil0mac> Thanks for your efforts!
[03:40] <cfhowlett> JoeSaan sorry, I have no experience/knowledge on this topic.  ask someone else
[03:42] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: thanks.
[03:43] <villandra> How do I learn if my motherboard/ chipset is compatible with a particular version of Ubuntu?
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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.
[03:48] <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.
[03:49] <villandra> LOL, but online someone said that only worked with live CD.
[03:51] <histo> villandra: you're instructor is wrong
[03:52] <histo> villandra: what version do you plan on installing?
[03:53] <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.
[03:54] <villandra> Intel's site?  I looked at a Linux site - where is Intel's?
[03:54] <masingerz> hi there
[03:55] <masingerz> !rules
[03:56] <talldave> I’m thinking about installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 onto a single disk as RAID 10.    Advisable?
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !swap | masing
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !swap | masingerz
[03:58] <masingerz> ty
[03:59] <villandra> The Intel support center doesn't include Ubuntu as an operating system.
[03:59] <cfhowlett> villandra too true.
[04:00] <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] <talldave> via CD
[04:00] <villandra> I don't see where the Intel site tells me which of its products work in Linux.
[04:01] <cfhowlett> villandra intel won't discuss it.  make a usb and test it yourself
[04:01] <histo> villandra: There isn't a list anywhere that will tell you.
[04:01] <talldave> thanks ubotto
[04:05] <rwivie> anyone have ubuntu 14.01 installed on a 27" iMac late 2013. I have sound from internal speakers until I try to play flash content in firefox. then it will only play through headphones.
[04:09] <histo> !mac | rwivie
[04:11] <rwivie> thanks histo but I didn't have a problem installing ubuntu on iMac. I am having a problem with flashplayer killing internal sound.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: sorry though it linked to the ubuntu mac channel
[04:13] <rwivie> histo: no problem. thanks.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: there is #ubuntu-mactel but no one there.
[04:13] <rwivie> ok I will check there maybe someone will show up.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: also you mean 14.04 right?
[04:14] <rwivie> yes my mistake :)
[04:14] <villandra> I went to download install iso, and it wants me to choose between 32 bit if my machine has 2 gigs of RAM or less, or 64 bit.  I have a 32 bit machine with 4 gigs of RAM, and 64 bit software won't run on a 32 bit machine.  What should I download?
[04:14] <tortib> Is anyone in the market for a mechanical keyboard?  I'm trying to sell one of mine.
[04:14] <tortib> It has green switches
[04:14] <tortib> sorry if this is considered spam :x
[04:14] <histo> rwivie: check your sound preferences for output device when flash is playing.  there is also probably a box for jacksense
[04:14] <cfhowlett> tortib it is.  ask #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux
[04:14] <tortib> okay sorry, thanks.
[04:14] <rwivie> same problem with archlinux so maybe it is just a general linux flashplayer problem
[04:14] <cfhowlett> villandra 32 bit
[04:14] <villandra> OK!
[04:15] <villandra> quit
[04:16] <rwivie> histo: output devices when flashplayer is playing shows internal and headphones. either one plays through headphones.
[04:16] <rwivie> will check out jacksense

[04:34] <cfhowlett> !md5sum
[04:34] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: let me see
[04:35] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: all is ok
[04:35] <ignacio_> oh no
[04:36] <ignacio_> efi.img is "FAILED"
[04:36] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ :)
[04:36] <ignacio_> this is why?
[04:36] <ignacio_> didnt work?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ efi.img failed = bad ISO.  use torrent to get a clean iso from ubuntu, md5sum the iso, make a USB, md5sum the USB
[04:37] <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] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ wait, so you did NOT verify the USB?
[04:38] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: just now i do "md5sum -c md5sum.txt" in the usb
[04:38] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ and you're installing to a MAC, yes?
[04:38] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: yeah
[04:39] <cfhowlett> !mac   I've no experience with MAC.  I am now backing away from the keyboard
[04:39] <ignacio_> the md5sum of my downloaded iso and the original are the same
[04:39] <ignacio_> ok
[04:39] <ignacio_> Thanksa nyway
[04:42] <joke_art> how to use chinesse drawing tablet ?
[04:43] <cfhowlett> joke_art depends on the tablet and whether or not it's supported
[04:43] <joke_art> i use xp-pen
[04:44] <cfhowlett> joke_art never heard of it but if "xp" = windows XP, expect unforeseen consequences
[04:45] <joke_art> cfhowlett, it's detected as UC-Logic Technology Corp. on "lsusb"
[04:45] <joke_art> cfhowlett, how to use it?
[04:46] <cfhowlett> joke_art http://www.xp-pen.com/index.html  is their website.  no linux support mentioned that I can see.
[04:47] <cfhowlett> joke_art you could try installing windows drivers in Wine.  Or install windows to virtualbox and run it from there.
[04:47] <ignacio_> okay
[04:47] <ignacio_> I think I need to create again the usb
[04:47] <ignacio_> thanks cfhowlett
[04:47] <joke_art> cfhowlett, okay, i'll try it
[04:47] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ happy2help

[05:53] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <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] <Guest17929> algum brasileiro aqui ?
[05:56] <Loshki> linuxuz3r: yes, if you remember to extract with -p, which is the default if you are superuser
[05:56] <rahhh> i am having trouble getting to root of my phone
[05:56] <nachokb> so, first question is: where is GTK2 being configured? (in GNOME Tweak I choose Adwaita, but GTK2 apps keep using Oxygen with Qt)
[05:56] <Loshki> !br | Guest17929
[05:56] <rahhh> not sure how to do it
[05:57] <nachokb> I thought perhaps KDE touched some ~/.gtkrc but there's no such file in my computer
[05:59] <dotDeb> How do I change the boxy gray look in KDE
[05:59] <dotDeb> ?
[05:59] <dotDeb> I already changed the window buttons to a different them and changed the panel to a different them
[05:59] <dotDeb> theme*
[06:00] <dotDeb> but inside of windows the menus and buttons are boxy and gray
[06:00] <rahhh> i am trying to install ubuntu on phone and i am having trouble going root
[06:00] <rahhh> anyone?
[06:00] <dotDeb> rahhh if you are having trouble rooting there is probably a better IRC channel or forum than here
[06:01] <rahhh> hmm
[06:02] <dotDeb> rahhh androidforums.com would probably be a good place to start
[06:02] <rahhh> thx
[06:03] <dotDeb> np
[06:06] <dotDeb> anyone use KDE?
[06:11] <Ailen> I use KDE.
[06:11] <Ailen> and they left, oh well.

[06:49] <m000gle> Ever since updating to the newest versions, both the Chromium (open-source) browser and the branded Google Chrome have been unable to display Unicode characters in the URL bar.  Regardless of whether it is a search term being entered, or a URL containing Unicode characters, they appear appear either blank or as gibberish/mojibake.
[06:49] <m000gle> Every other program, and even the Chromium/Chrome website rendering, display these characters fine.
[06:49] <m000gle> Does anyone know how to solve this?  [OS = Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit; Chromium = Version 34.0.1847.116 Ubuntu 14.04 aura (260972); Google Chrome = Version 35.0.1916.153]

[06:58] <wilee-nilee> e^0, with the cli?
[06:59] <histo> !ppapurge | e^0
[06:59] <airtonix> histo: the way it's always been launched and recommended by the pulseaudio developers.
[06:59] <histo> airtonix: What is the problem you're experiencing?
[07:00] <airtonix> histo: [pulseaudio] module-tunnel.c: Stream died.
[07:00] <e^0> histo: :)
[07:00] <e^0> wilee-nilee: yes using cli

[07:01] <Guido1> Hello, I have two questions about instaling (X)ubuntu. I have one primary partition available and of cause logical partitions. Which part of linux should i put on the primary partition? How big should each partition be resp. on what is it depending?
[07:02] <e^0> histo: ok :)
[07:03] <histo> !partition | Guido1
[07:03] <cfhowlett> Guido1 the automatic install can handle those details for you, but if you insist on a manual installation, the main xubuntu can live quite well in an 8 GB partition.
[07:03] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, none of linux has to be on a primary, and what makes you think you need to have a primary, when you seem to have an extended with logicals already.
[07:04] <m000gle> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7683804/ [Output of locale settings]
[07:05] <histo> m000gle: are you canadian?
[07:05] <histo> m000gle: well either way those look okay, not it. You could try downgrading the package.
[07:06] <m000gle> histo: Yes.  Canadian, but use Simplified Chinese input frequently.  The time is also manually set, to allow for ISO standard formats; so, the en_DK.UTF-8, there, is expected.
[07:06] <Guido1> wilee-nilee: There is also no need to put linux not on a primary. i also have a primary already. The MBR ca than be on a different partition as windows is, i guss
[07:07] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, the mbr is not in or on a partition it is the first 512MB of the hd.
[07:08] <e^0> histo: it is telling ppa-purge command not found
[07:09] <Guido1> wilee-nilee: together with the partition tabl etc, okee, but still which one would you prefeur on a primary partition if you have the possibility to put it there
[07:09] <joke_art> how to remove old kernel?
[07:09] <JohnQ> Ive never seen this before, but I just got home and me recently installed machine is saying "grub rescue>" ... should I just reboot and pray?  Or am I screwed?
[07:09] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, Sorry man your not making sense at least to me.
[07:10] <ramsub07> Hi guys, I have setup a dual monitor system on ubuntu 13.10. I am not able to open any application other than terminal from my monitor. Help pls ?
[07:10] <Guido1> cfhowlett: how is "main xubuntu" called during the instalation?
[07:11] <wilee-nilee> JohnQ, this a msdos or uefi computer?
[07:11] <cfhowlett> Guido1 "/"
[07:12] <AlbinoGeek> So, a user decided they wanted 12.04 on their VM; but the amd64 ISO freezes after confirming the password for the primary user.
[07:12] <JohnQ> wilee-nilee: Its definitely not msdos... mythbuntu... dunno what uefi is, so I'm going to go with a "no".
[07:12] <AlbinoGeek> What is the installer step after confirming the primary user's password?
[07:12] <wilee-nilee> !grub | JohnQ
[07:12] <JohnQ> The error message before the prompt is cut-off halfway so it is hard to read, but I think it says "/boot/grub/i386-pc/terminal.mod not found"
[07:13] <JohnQ> No windows on this machine.
[07:13] <JohnQ> mythbuntu only.  :-/
[07:13] <AlbinoGeek> The installer literally freezes up and sticks at this giant purple screen: http://i.imgur.com/sQk0qT1.png immediately after confirming the primary user password.  A box with a progress bar does pop up before the freeze, but it's gone in a very small time [ less than a second. ]  Is this the first drive scan perhaps?
[07:15] <ramsub07> Hi guys, I have setup a dual monitor system on ubuntu 13.10. I am not able to open any application other than terminal from my monitor. Help pls ?
[07:15] <Guido1> cfhowlett: and in gparted? I guess linux-swap
[07:15] <AlbinoGeek> There we go, I was finally able to take a screenshot on the progress : http://i.imgur.com/8eVke2a.png  It seems that Ubuntu 12.04 does not support being run inside KVM with VirtIO ?
[07:15] <cfhowlett> Guido1 the past practice suggested that /swap should be 2 times Ram ...
[07:16] <JohnQ> wilee-nilee: All those "restore grub" links seem to assume I can boot the machine.
[07:17] <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??
[07:19] <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] <wilee-nilee> JohnQ, use this tool, and just run the bootinfo summary and post the url to it, before any repairs. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[07:20] <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?
[07:21] <cfhowlett> Guido1 your choice ...
[07:22] <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?
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <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.
[07:27] <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] <cfhowlett> Guido1 go for it man!
[07:29] <Kamuela> Anyone know why I have an odd issue with my video? Basically the screen is in a kind of low-dpi high contrast mode, and I have to switch resolutions back and forth until it randomly finds itself back to normal
[07:30] <wilee-nilee> Kamuela, Are you using a proprietary graphic driver?
[07:37] <Kamuela> wilee-nilee: I am, but the issue persists with whatever default 14.04 had and the Intel drivers
[07:38] <floown> hello
[07:38] <floown> I can not more reboot my Ubuntu server
[07:39] <floown> I'm connected with ssh in rescue mode
[07:39] <floown> what can I do now to resolv the problem?
[07:41] <Paul_-> don't know were else to ask this.  Where do you get information on the targets that bfd is capable of please?
[07:42] <wilee-nilee> Kamuela, Ah, well proprietary graphic drivers are not technically supported here, someone might help though, the key for that help is the graphic hardware info to start with.

[08:24] <e^0> histo: no
[08:24] <histo> e^0: what is the package name?
[08:24] <e^0> package name is npm
[08:24] <histo> e^0: what distro are you running?
[08:25] <e^0> ubuntu 14.04
[08:26] <histo> !info npm
[08:26] <histo> e^0: version there is 1.3.10
[08:27] <gufoe> Hi guys, which is the best irc client? I tried hexchat and xchat
[08:27] <histo> gufoe: weechat ...
[08:27] <cfhowlett> gufoe no such thing as "best" .. use the one that suitsyou
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !bestg
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !best
[08:27] <e^0> histo: that's the old version
[08:28] <histo> e^0: what does cat /etc/issue say??
[08:28] <histo> e^0: are you using a ppa or something?
[08:28] <bekks> gufoe: irssi :)
[08:28] <e^0> histo: ppa fails to instasll npm so have to go with ubuntu sources
[08:29] <gufoe> Ok, I'll try them tomorrow (now I have to study for exams :( )
[08:29] <e^0> histo: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[08:30] <e^0> right now i have npm 1.4.9 installed
[08:30] <e^0> but this says the latest package is 1.3.10 same as yours
[08:30] <e^0> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=npm&searchon=names&suite=trusty&section=all
[08:30] <histo> e^0: well that's not from ubuntu
[08:30] <e^0> histo: i am using ubuntu from digital ocean
[08:30] <histo> e^0: the latest ubuntu versioni is 1.3.10 so you are pulling 1.4.9 somewhere else
[08:31] <bekks> apt-cache policy pkgname
[08:31] <histo> e^0: ^^^
[08:31] <histo> bekks: ty not on ubuntu at teh moment to check
[08:31] <e^0> ok
[08:33] <e^0> histo: bekks it says installed version is 1.3.10 but doing npm -v shows 1.4.9
[08:33] <histo> e^0: now that's interesting.
[08:33] <bekks> e^0: so run: which npm
[08:35] <e^0> ok doing it
[08:36] <bekks> e^0: and whats the output?
[08:38] <e^0> it says 1.4.9
[08:38] <histo> huh?
[08:38] <bekks> e^0: "which npm" will not tell you "1.4.9".
[08:38] <bekks> Run the command: which npm
[08:38] <histo> e^0: which should tell you the path to npm
[08:39] <histo> e^0: also dpkg -l | grep npm
[08:39] <histo> e^0: also find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -iname '*npm*'
[08:41] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm
[08:41] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[08:42] <histo> e^0: okay you are running npm from your home
[08:42] <histo> e^0: did you install that there?
[08:42] <e^0> yes running from home
[08:42] <e^0> did sudo apt-get install nmp
[08:42] <histo> e^0: echo $PATH
[08:44] <e^0> histo: it is showinig in my home path
[08:44] <e^0> the above one
[08:44] <bekks> e^0: Whats the ouput of "echo $PATH"?
[08:46] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm and all the other entry is empty
[08:46] <bekks> e^0: Whats the ouput of "echo $PATH"?
[08:47] <e^0> ok complete output ? ok wait
[08:47] <histo> e^0: yeah shouldn't be too long
[08:47] <e^0> the prob is i have to type it by hand instead of copy paste
[08:47] <e^0> just a sec
[08:48] <histo> e^0: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && echo $PATH | pastebinit
[08:48] <e^0> histo: thanks for saving the time :)
[08:48] <histo> e^0: why can't you copy and paste?
[08:49] <e^0> histo: right now i am using directly from digital ocean's console
[08:51] <histo> e^0: you can't copy out of a browser and paste here?
[08:51] <histo> e^0: either way what's in your $PATH
[08:54] <e^0> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7684201/
[08:55] <bekks> e^0: So that locally installed version in your home is preferred.
[08:56] <e^0> ok so what should i do now ?
[08:56] <histo> e^0: did you set that up?
[08:56] <oschiri72> ciao
[08:56] <e^0> no i did  nothing
[08:56] <bekks> e^0: Either remove that local installation in your home or change your path.
[08:56] <oschiri72> !list
[08:57] <e^0> bekks: ok removing under home also doing apt-get remove npm and then installing again
[08:57] <histo> e^0: where you running some weird scripts from the internet?  I have trouble believe your provider would do that.
[08:57] <bekks> e^0: No.
[08:58] <kristenbb> hi, i have installed two ubuntu on one drive, but i think only one is showing in grub. how to fix that ?
[08:58] <bekks> e^0: NO need to run apt-get remove. This isnt Windows.
[08:58] <histo> e^0: ls -la /etc/skel/  is there a .npm   directory in there?
[08:58] <histo> kristenbb: sudo update-grub
[08:58] <e^0> histo: no it is not there
[08:58] <e^0> bekks: ^
[08:59] <histo> e^0: change your path and you will be using the ubuntu version
[09:00] <e^0> histo:  how to do that ?
[09:03] <e^0> is it possible that i had installed ppa earlier that might have installed the different version ? but i have removed the ppa.
[09:04] <bekks> e^0: It is possible, but it has nothing to do with this issue.
[09:05] <e^0> bekks: so how can i change the text ?
[09:05] <bekks> e^0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[09:11] <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
[09:13] <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] <airtonix> tl;dr: start-pulseaudio-x11 seems to prevent propler zeroconf advertisement of sinks/sources
[09:13] <airtonix> JO0st: qt5
[09:13] <airtonix> JO0st: via pyqt
[09:14] <histo> JO0st: ubuntu doesn't recommend anything
[09:14] <JO0st> airtonix: thanks, i'll start investigating it
[09:14] <airtonix> JO0st: this is for qt4, but you'll get the idea: http://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt4/
[09:14] <histo> meh qt
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <JO0st> 5373Schaap
[09:16] <airtonix> it's actually a shame that gnome-shell is gtk, because i refuse to use kde
[09:16] <airtonix> JO0st: also pyside isn
[09:16] <prepangolin> Hi
[09:16] <prepangolin> I've somthing to ask.
[09:16] <airtonix> JO0st: also pyside isnt valid anymore.
[09:17] <histo> prepangolin: ask away
[09:17] <airtonix> histo: so when you were responding to me earlier about pulseaudio, did you actually have anything useful to contribute? or were you just replying for the sake of replying?
[09:17] <prepangolin> I tried to compile compiz on Ubuntu12.04.
[09:17] <histo> !ot | JO0st
[09:18] <e^0> histo: bekks even after removing npm and then doing npm -v states 1.4.9
[09:18] <prepangolin> After resarting then system freeze
[09:18] <prepangolin> hists: how to build successfully it?
[09:18] <histo> airtonix: was trying to get you to describe the problem you have. Sounded like you were unable to kill it and didn't knwo the proper way.
[09:18] <bekks> e^0: so run "which npm" again.
[09:19] <histo> e^0: did you log out and back in after correcting path?
[09:19] <airtonix> histo: interesting. so if you were to kill it, how would you do it?
[09:20] <e^0> yes
[09:20] <bekks> e^0: so run "which npm" again.
[09:21] <histo> airtonix: by stopping the service
[09:21] <airtonix> histo: just a heads up, that used to work before 14.XX, but it won't now
[09:21] <e^0> bekks: ok
[09:21] <airtonix> histo: it respawns itself.
[09:22] <prepangolin> histo: #archlinux channel refused me to join.
[09:22] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm
[09:22] <bekks> prepangolin: So register your nickname.
[09:22] <e^0> bekks: ^
[09:22] <prepangolin> How can I join this channel.
[09:22] <histo> airtonix: edit your /etc/pulse/client.conf change autospawn
[09:22] <bekks> e^0: So you did not remove the local installation in your home as I told you.
[09:22] <histo> airtonix: or make a client.conf in your ~/.pulse
[09:23] <prepangolin> histo: #archlinux channel refused to join for me.
[09:23] <airtonix> histo: shouldn't have to do that now should I ? the situation with pulseaudio right now is utterly stupid.
[09:23] <e^0> bekks: i did sudo rm -rf .npm
[09:23] <histo> airtonix: also try pactl exit
[09:23] <prepangolin> How can I join there successfully?
[09:23] <prepangolin> Have you any clue for that?
[09:23] <bekks> e^0: Which did not remove the local installation but the users config.
[09:23] <histo> prepangolin: you're in the channel
[09:23] <trijntje> !nickserv | prepangolin
[09:24] <bekks> e^0: Sorry, misread. Since "which" still shows that path, you did not remove that directory, for various possible reasons.
[09:24] <e^0> bekks: ok , but i also did sudo apt-get remove npm
[09:25] <bekks> e^0: Which I told you not to do.
[09:25] <bekks> e^0: So why did you do that?
[09:26] <e^0> as that directory was showing the npm version still after removing that directory
[09:26] <e^0> :/
[09:26] <e^0> sorry
[09:26] <bekks> e^0: It was showing the version because you did not remove "~/.npm".
[09:27] <bekks> e^0: ls -lha .npm will still show it.
[09:27] <bekks> e^0: Pastebin the output of "ls -lha .npm" please.
[09:28] <e^0> bekks: ok
[09:28] <bekks> e^0: corrected version: "ls -lha ~/.npm/"
[09:29] <sveta> e^0, any good?
[09:30] <e^0> damn i am hating digital ocean now :/
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: DigitialOcean cant do anything about you not removing a directory correctly.
[09:31] <t0k> howdy
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: So pastebin the information requested.
[09:31] <histo> e^0: I seriously doubt digital ocean did this
[09:31] <e^0> bekks: the interface becomme unresponsive
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: So log in using ssh.
[09:31] <e^0> no other issues with digital ocean
[09:31] <_Crash_Laptop> Hi, just installed ffmpeg via "sudo apt-get installed ffmpeg" in Ubuntu 12.04 and when i try and run "ffmpeg" through terminal it cannot locate it "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'". I had removed the binary ffmpeg when i compiled it but i've ran the install three times and even removed it fully before re-installing with
[09:31] <_Crash_Laptop>   "remove --purge" - any ideas?
[09:32] <t0k> how yall doing today ?
[09:32] <bekks> e^0: Login using ssh and provide the information requested.
[09:32] <sveta> e^0, I recall some people here don't like asking multiple times unfortunately - it may be a good idea to just do what you're asked, or tell them to wait
[09:32] <e^0> let me login using ssh
[09:32] <sveta> thank you! :)
[09:32] <_Crash_Laptop> seems like it cant locate the binary..
[09:33] <_Crash_Laptop> ^^
[09:33] <bekks> e^0: thats what I told you two times already. :P
[09:33] <Nothing_Much> How do I report a bug for XMir?
[09:33] <Nothing_Much> Or XMir and radeon to be exact?
[09:34] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: how did you remove the binary?
[09:34] <e^0> sorry bekks will take care from now on
[09:34] <Nothing_Much> How do I report a bug for XMir and radeon?
[09:34] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: did you compile ffmpeg from source or are you using apt-get?
[09:34] <histo> !bug | Nothing_Much
[09:34] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, via "rm dir" - cant remember the location at which it was
[09:35] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, i recently compiled it but i removed it via "sudo make distclean" and now i installed it via apt-get
[09:35] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: what happens when you try to apt-get install ffmpeg  ?
[09:36] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "ffmpeg is already the newest version."
[09:36] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: so it is installed.  apt-get install libav-tools
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, ii did that already and still no avail
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "libav-tools is already the newest version.
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> "
[09:37] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: so what is the error when you run ffmpeg?
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'"
[09:38] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: which ffmpeg
[09:38] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: in a terminal 'which ffmpeg'
[09:38] <brontosaurusrex> histo, ubuntu doesn't have ffmpeg any more
[09:38] <sveta> aw
[09:38] <brontosaurusrex> histo, http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04
[09:39] <histo> !info ffmpeg
[09:39] <sushixdesu> he's on like 12.04 i think
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, yeah that command doesnt report anything
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> yep
[09:39] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[09:39] <histo> !info ffmpeg precise
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, 12.04
[09:39] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[09:40] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, done, still the same error
[09:40] <_Crash_Laptop> reports that it isnt installed when it is
[09:41] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg
[09:41] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "ii  ffmpeg                                4:0.8.12-0ubuntu0.12.04.1           Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package)"
[09:41] <_Crash_Laptop> its reporting its there
[09:42] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: dpkg -L ffmpeg
[09:42] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: does that show all the files from ffmpeg?
[09:42] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, nope, just the docs and "/usr/share" and "/usr" and "/."

[09:43] <histo> ahh
[09:43] <sushixdesu> The real problem is probably with libav-tools
[09:43] <Ben64> nope, the problem is a self installed version
[09:44] <histo> yeap
[09:44] <_Crash_Laptop> what would i have to do?
[09:44] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: remove that symlink
[09:45] <Ben64> _Crash_Laptop: doesn't look like you removed the compiled version cleanly
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> hmm, i've not done symlinks in a while
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> not sure how to remove / which arrangement to put the syntax
[09:45] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo rm /usr/bin/ffmpeg
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> ah
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> ok ty lol
[09:46] <bekks> e^0: Did you connect using ssh finally?
[09:46] <_Crash_Laptop> done
[09:46] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo rm -r /usr/local/ffmpeg
[09:46] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, done
[09:46] <airtonix> histo: i'm at a loss as to how i should debug this situation. starting pulseaudio as my user with -vvvv allows me to see my sinks in the sound control panel. but in default system mode they do not.
[09:46] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg* && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[09:46] <e^0> bekks: yes done :D :D
[09:46] <switchtehbeat> can anyone tell me when there's going to be a new release of ubuntu?
[09:46] <e^0> now it's fast
[09:47] <airtonix> histo: nothing obvious shows up in /var/log/syslog
[09:47] <satty> hey guys
[09:47] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, hmm still "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'"
[09:47] <cfhowlett> !utonic|switchtehbeat
[09:47] <Ben64> _Crash_Laptop: purge and reinstall again
[09:47] <cfhowlett> !utopic|switchtehbeat
[09:47] <histo> airtonix: maybe peeps in ##pulseaudio can provide more insight
[09:48] <e^0> bekks: ls: cannot access .npm: No such file or directory
[09:48] <_Crash_Laptop> Ben64, still the same error
[09:48] <switchtehbeat> wait, what? what happened to 14.04.04?
[09:48] <histo> switchtehbeat: there is a release every april and october

[09:50] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, honestly i cant remember
[09:51] <e^0> bekks: which path i am currently on ?
[09:51] <e^0> i am in my home directory
[09:51] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: pastebin apt-cache policy ffmpeg    and your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:51] <e^0> the executed teh command you told
[09:51] <bekks> e^0: So what happens when you run "which npm" again?
[09:51] <aeon-ltd> partially offtopic, why is it a 6 month cycle? why not one year then the naming scheme can be reduced to one number? Or do users like new stuff every 6 months or something?
[09:52] <e^0> bekks: returns nothing
[09:52] <bekks> aeon-ltd: you can either use every release every 6 months, or use the LTS releases only.
[09:52] <brontosaurusrex> aeon-ltd, why not 10 years and a rolling release thingy?
[09:53] <kostkon> switchtehbeat, 14.04.04?
[09:53] <switchtehbeat> yeah was suppose to be june or july
[09:53] <aeon-ltd> brontosaurusrex: i'd actually like a rolling release ubuntu
[09:54] <kostkon> switchtehbeat, that would be 14.04.1
[09:54] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, ffmpeg cache policy- http://pastebin.com/BJp5etPK | sources - http://pastebin.com/RVBPJJEz
[09:54] <histo> aeon-ltd: then run debian testing
[09:54] <switchtehbeat> oh lmao!
[09:54] <aeon-ltd> histo: have you tried it? is the support close to level of ubuntu's?
[09:55] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd testing = bleeding edge.
[09:56] <aeon-ltd> cfhowlett: bleeding edge like arch or absolutely bleeding edge like betas + nightlies?
[09:56] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd latter
[09:56] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: now what does which ffmpeg   say?
[09:56] <sushixdesu> arch is "bleeding edge" in a sense  but the default repos are stable
[09:57] <aeon-ltd> cfhowlett, histo, + others: thank you for answering
[09:57] <histo> aeon-ltd: no not like ubuntu.
[09:58] <_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] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: no in a terminal type 'which ffmpeg'    without "
[09:58] <e^0> also npm -v shows 1.3.10
[09:58] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, just "shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory"
[09:59] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: close your terminal you have open and re-open one
[09:59] <sushixdesu> hmm? I haven't noticed any significant bugs with latest arch kernel but i'm sure theres something there haha
[10:00] <histo> sushixdesu: I've been getting kernel panics with a i915 graphics
[10:00] <histo> sushixdesu: some sort of power mgmt. issue
[10:01] <bekks> e^0: So everything is alright now. :)
[10:01] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, the which ffmpeg doesnt report anything
[10:02] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: pastebin the output of dpkg -L ffmpeg
[10:02] <sushixdesu> dunno, always used radeon :/
[10:05] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, http://pastebin.com/eyhYHecX
[10:05] <e^0> bekks: thanks for your help :)
[10:05] <histo> wth Ben64 ^^^ _Crash_Laptop
[10:06] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: did you run my one really long command with the rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg*   ?
[10:06] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, nope, should i run it?
[10:07] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg* && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

[10:10] <Ben64> weird stuff in that sources.list too
[10:10] <Omnipotent> _Crash_Laptop, awesome name
[10:10] <_Crash_Laptop> Omnipotent, lol ty
[10:10] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, alright
[10:11] <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] <cfhowlett> !lucid
[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
[10:12] <_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*
[10:13] <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] <Ben64> so the package is the same as mine

[10:13] <Ben64> this is why i always advise against compiling software : /

[10:17] <_Crash_Laptop> oh dear :/
[10:18] <Guest32061> change saucy security a t the bottom to  trusty tahir
[10:18] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: perhaps Ben64 will have something else to add. But basically that deb sum is the proper one however, it doesn't contain the executable for ffmpeg
[10:18] <Ben64> Guest32061: don't do that

[10:26] <ravindu> Hello
[10:27] <ravindu> I setup a web server on ubuntu server 14.04 64bit
[10:27] <ravindu> How do I get a domain name for it?
[10:27] <histo> ravindu: godaddy.com
[10:27] <Ben64> namecheap.com ... godaddy isn't nice
[10:27] <ravindu> so once I buy a domain name, how do I 'assign' it to my home web server?
[10:27] <milad191> how can i delete all of these files ? http://i59.tinypic.com/1z58cuv.png
[10:28] <Ben64> milad191: deleting files isn't usually a good idea unless you know exactly what they're there for
[10:28] <ravindu> milad191 is that a package?
[10:29] <milad191> i unistalled it
[10:29] <ravindu> milad191, If so, remove it with sudo apt-get remove /*packagenamegoeshere*/
[10:29] <milad191> these files remains after i removed the package
[10:29] <ravindu> histo, Ben64 , once I buy a domain name, how do I 'assign' it to my home web server?
[10:30] <Guest32061> ok I have pate it in the bin
[10:30] <Guest32061> here it is  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7684550/
[10:30] <Ben64> ravindu: that is a more appropriate question for ##networking ... you need to set up the dns
[10:30] <ravindu> Ben64, kthx
[10:30] <histo> ravindu: does your ip change at home?
[10:30] <histo> milad191: use purge

[10:38] <Guest32061> E: The value 'Trusty Tahr' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

[10:52] <osier> dayangkun, ping
[10:54] <B0073D> Is there any way to display a raid health icon on the iconbar along with all the other icons?
[10:55] <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
[10:58] <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?
[10:59] <B0073D> The lubuntu images might be smaller if you're not after unity specifically.
[11:02] <bnutzer> B0073D: i'd only like to see what it would do with optimus and/or nvidia drivers. the nvidia driver is quite evil
[11:03] <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] <B0073D> as bnutzer said, ls -a to see them then just cd .hiddenfolder
[11:04] <milad191> how can i open hidden folders with terminal ?
[11:04] <B0073D> Open?
[11:04] <B0073D> What kind of file is this?
[11:05] <milad191> .cache i want to go to this and delete something
[11:05] <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
[11:06] <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.
[11:08] <LrdArc> does anyone know where is the ubuntu launcher icon ( http://imgur.com/7ZzTf6Z ) located? and how can I edit this?
[11:09] <LrdArc> I just need to change the background because my weird monitor can't read white background.
[11:09] <bnutzer> LrdArc: have you looked under /usr/share/icons ?
[11:09] <LrdArc> i did
[11:11] <bnutzer> does the nvidia graphic driver override common system files on ubuntu? on some distros, it breaks for example, the intel driver
[11:13] <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.
[11:14] <B0073D> Unless you have two cards and something that does pcie passthrough.
[11:15] <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)
[11:16] <B0073D> I havent had any issues with nvidia on recent releases but I'm not using optimis
[11:16] <B0073D> optimus even
[11:19] <bnutzer> B0073D: thanks anyway. i'll get back into this later
[11:19] <Camellia21>  You can find funny videos here. http://bitly.com/1qrFuVB
[11:20] <B0073D> Urgh
[11:21] <LrdArc> does anyone know where is the ubuntu launcher icon ( http://imgur.com/7ZzTf6Z ) located? and how can I edit this?
[11:21] <B0073D> LrdArc: What is the issue? You could try changing iconsets?
[11:22] <B0073D> LrdArc: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/changing-the-ubuntu-start-menu-panel-icon/
[11:22] <LrdArc> B0073D: i couldn't find ubuntu start icon on these folder
[11:23] <B0073D> do a locate start-here
[11:23] <e^0> how to secure my ssh connection ?
[11:23] <B0073D> on your system
[11:23] <B0073D> That will tell you where the files are.
[11:33] <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
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <Jeffrey_f> IdleOne: What do you see as instruction #1??
[11:37] <IdleOne> Jeffrey_f: that is some silliness. The download link works
[11:38] <Jeffrey_f> IdleOne: I'll look further.  It is early, maybe my coffee didn't kick in yet  :)
[11:40] <Ben64> there, i fixed it :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/U1/Downloader/Linux/How_to_Use
[11:40] <IdleOne> Good job Ben64
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Going to be glad when that U1 is dead and gone. Its all Ive been hearing about recently
[11:41] <k1l_> Jeffrey_f: some one edited the wiki page. this was not intended to be edited that way
[11:42] <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 ?
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <Tin_man> ok
[11:45] <k1l_> Tin_man: it might be created when you run a fsck
[11:46] <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...
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: is it mounted?
[11:47] <k1l_> Tin_man: see "mount" and look if this is mounted as /home or something
[11:50] <Tin_man>  i ran the update lost have about 5 screen full of lost stuff
[11:51] <Jeffrey_f> k1l_: Thanks
[11:53] <RMYC> good morning #ubuntu
[11:53] <RMYC> thank you for your contributions to software development worldwide, you are loved! =)
[11:54] <Cuber> Hey, my laptop's screen doesn't turn back on if I put it to standby by closing the lid. I have an AMD GPU.
[11:54] <guyan> interested
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: what make / model?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[11:57] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, It's a HP Pavilion dv7,
[11:57] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, one moment
[11:58] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, /etc/issue outputs this: "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[11:58] <Cuber> "
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: let me search the web.....
[11:59] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, much appreciated
[12:00] <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
[12:01] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, where can I check that?
[12:03] <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?
[12:04] <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
[12:05] <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] <Cuber> BRB
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> PoolShark_: not seen that. You could check the motd setings to see what it runs.
[12:07] <PoolShark_> ahh I found it
[12:07] <PoolShark_>  /etc/update-motd.d
[12:08] <GLaDER> Hi! I'm trying to get three monitors on 2 GPU's to work, anyone got any recommendation? I get an error saying: "Could not set the configuration for CRTC 64". Two of the monitors are working but the last one is completely black.
[12:08] <t0k> man why the hell does chocolate doom crash on me after about 20 sec into the game
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> T0k: launch it from terminal. The output may be useful
[12:16] <t0k> i figured it out :) thnx tho
[12:20] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Unfortunately that didn't do the trick
[12:28] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, I'll try video.use_native_backlight=1
[12:28] <Eeinn> Here's a funny question, why is GRUB only working every other shutdown/startup? :) When I shutdown ubuntu, it reboots to windows. When I shutdown windows, it reboots to grub. lol
[12:29] <Cuber> Tried holding Shift when it's booting?
[12:30] <Eeinn> no, what does that do?
[12:33] <Aussie_matt> Hi all. I have 12.04, with xfce, trying to install a hp printer (wireless prefereably) I've installed print manager, cups, and hplip & hp toolbox, but when I open print manager it says printer service not available..any ideas?
[12:34] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Seems like those boot options don't work
[12:34] <Cuber> Well, what I mean they don't help my case
[12:39] <GLaDER> So, I've got my three monitors working (using nvidia-settings) but now I'm experiencing blurry text - suggestions?
[12:43] <GLaDER> And after a couple of reboots it works... I'm starting to hate this dist...
[12:43] <Gaurav_> hey i want ubuntu 64 bit
[12:43] <GLaDER> (Never mind, it's back, as it should be.)
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Gaurav_: go get it....
[12:44] <csj> you only need patience
[12:53] <GLaDER> No one got any input? All text in any window becomes pixelated and green/pink/etc. This happened after changing the rotation of one of my screens.
[12:55] <sydney> !patience
[12:55] <TJ-> GLaDER: cables/connections were disturbed, often-times.
[12:57] <kittykitty> anyone know how to stop the keyboard reverting to american english layout on boot? Im using the uk english one and it keeps swapping when i reboot :/
[13:00] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  which desktop environment are you using?
[13:00] <kittykitty> unity
[13:00] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  does it not have keyboard options where you can sort the order of layouts?
[13:01] <kittykitty> but the american one isnt even enabled....
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> hey gaiz
[13:02] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  i'm not familiar with unity, but what if you just add the line "setxkbmap gb" to ~/.xinitrc ?
[13:02] <kittykitty> got uk english, russian and german enabled. English is the first one
[13:02] <kittykitty> hm ok, ill try that
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> have you gaiz seen Tron: Legacy?
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> http://i.imgur.com/llSyHpj.jpg
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> didja know Encom OS 12 is Ubuntu?
[13:03] <Peyam> Hi
[13:03] <kittykitty> SpaghettiCat, xinitrc isnt a file, should it not be ~/.bashrc ?
[13:03] <Peyam> When I log in to xubuntu 14.04 I see just the background and the mousepointer
[13:03] <Peyam> how do I fix this? I have very important stuff in it
[13:03] <OerHeks> RaptorJesus, we don't support forks/derivates
[13:03] <SpaghettiCat> RaptorJesus:  They for one tried to give an accurate representation of computers in movies :)
[13:03] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  You create it ".xinitrc" it gets run when the X server starts
[13:04] <kittykitty> oh ok :3
[13:05] <Savannah21>  Hi! I give you some videos. I hope you like! http://bitly.com/1j0qWqz

[13:07] <RaptorJesus> how can I hack?
[13:07] <kittykitty> That didnt work
[13:08] <kittykitty> SpaghettiCat, any other ideas?
[13:09] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  switch to US. Then in a terminal type `setxkbmap gb` does it switch layout?
[13:10] <kittykitty> no
[13:10] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  does it say anything?
[13:10] <kittykitty> no
[13:10] <SpaghettiCat> are you sure it doesn't? Does it not have the GBP sign?
[13:14] <kittykitty> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1297234 its a bug
[13:19] <arun_> hi guys
[13:19] <arun_> how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:19] <Colin969> Not sure if it's possible, but is there a way to have a Ubuntu Live USB on the same stick as a Windows Install?
[13:20] <Pappaaai> Hi, I see only the mouse pointer and the background when I log in to my distro. Anyone can help me with this?
[13:22] <tragicsans> I'm trying to install python (sudo apt-get install -y python python-dev python-pip) via a script and the mime-support package is asking a question (regarding /etc/mime.types already existing) which isn't being answered automatically
[13:22] <tragicsans> I also set the following in the top of the script: ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
[13:22] <arun_> how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:23] <tragicsans> I would have thought this question from mime-support would have been answered with a yes due to the "-y" parameter.
[13:25] <arun_> hello guys how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:26] <TJ-> arun_: "zenity --entry --text "Who are\n you?" "
[13:28] <arun_> TJ-: I needed that for notification not the entry
[13:31] <vr2mx> hello
[13:33] <TJ-> arun_: I would think then, the limitation is in the notification 'server'
[13:34] <vr2mx> hello/clea
[13:34] <TJ-> arun_: in which case, use HTML
[13:34] <TJ-> arun_: zenity --notification --text 'Who are<br> you?'
[13:43] <smokie> hey guys, im trying to run radvd from my ubuntu server, i enabled "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1" but radvd still doesnt want to start
[13:43] <smokie> can anyone help me out with this by any chance?
[13:49] <Balorth> hello
[13:51] <Balorth> can someone help me with wep secured wifi?
[13:54] <Balorth> anyone?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Anyone what?
[13:55] <Balorth> i cant connect to  wep secured wifi
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: what wifi chip are you using?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: sudo lshw -C network ,will tell you
[13:58] <bleb> Question: I'm trying to upgrade from 13.04 to something supported. do-release-upgrade says 'No new release found'. The graphical Software Updater says 'Failed to download repository information.' What's the next step?
[13:58] <DJJeff> can hexdump skip passed I/O error?
[13:58] <DJJeff> http://i.imgur.com/DYFOGG6.jpg
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: press CTRL+ALT+T and run the command there
[14:00] <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
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: doesnt sound healthy. You could use ddrescue to make an image and continuing after the issue, then hexdump that
[14:02] <DJJeff> I do not have access to ddrescue on this device
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: its in the repos
[14:03] <DJJeff> I am using OpenWRT based router to access this USB Thumb Drive
[14:03] <DJJeff> my Ubuntu Desktop refuse to read any data from it
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: then how is this ubuntu related?
[14:04] <bleb> ActionParsnip: clean install is less of an option as this is a work computer -- if possible I would elect to upgrade incrementally. Unfortunately the tools to do that aren't currently working. Any tips?
[14:04] <DJJeff> its hexdump related?
[14:04] <DJJeff> would I /j #hexdump ?
[14:04] <DJJeff> I doubt that channel would exist
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: its not under ubuntu, so not supported here
[14:05] <aledzadza> omg ive been sleeping for 17hrs :/
[14:05] <DJJeff> I think hexdump on here would be the same as hexdump on Ubuntu
[14:05] <DJJeff> they both support the -s (skip) option
[14:05] <wheresmypaaants> Hey guys
[14:05] <taoism> hello
[14:05] <wheresmypaaants> I
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> !eolupgrade | bleb
[14:06] <wheresmypaaants> I've been getting this issue for a long time, but I thought it would blow over, but that is never the case with computers. So, on my ubuntu, it takes several tries to boot successfully. Sometimes it boots and it freezes at the boot screen with all 5 circles a solid purple
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: thats not how it works
[14:06] <bluesabre> hey guys
[14:07] <DJJeff> ActionParsnip you are just mr funny man
[14:07] <RLW980> Hello guys I've got a 64-bitPC and could i burn a usb iso to the usb, via using Ubuntu
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: have you tested ram using memtest86+ from grub
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> RLW980: Using terminal, yes
[14:07] <DJJeff> want a cookie ActionParsnip?
[14:07] <bluesabre> is there a known bug with the unity lock screen not coming back after suspend?
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> ActionParsnip: Was unaware I had that option. Is it in recovery mode?
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> Or do i have to install it
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: yes, unetbootin can do that. You dont actually burn when you put data on usb ;)
[14:08] <zacktu> Where is the setting for suspend time located in the Trusty gconf-editor?
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> I have grub, but i dont know about the memtest part
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: hold SHIFT at boot, select it there
[14:08] <RLW980> wheresmypaaants: how
[14:08] <RLW980> ActionParsnip: how
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> RLW980: Theres something called google. ;)
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: maintaining channel policy, thats all
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> I'll be back with the results
[14:09] <RLW980> wheresmypaaants: so im not going to get support from here then
[14:09] <RLW980> Whats the time?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: unetbootin can download the iso for you.
[14:09] <RLW980> Ubottu | wheresmypaants
[14:10] <RLW980> ActionParsnip: what w7 64-bit Os
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: if you set a persistance (up to 4Gb) you can store changes
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: doesnt matter what windows version you have......
[14:10] <Balorth> ActionParsnip: what part do you need?
[14:10] <bluesabre> xubuntu864: I did a quick search and didn't see anything that quite matched what you're experiencing.  You might want to file a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+filebug and indicate that the issue only applies when using the the nouveau driver, it does not happen with nvidia
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: the product line please, the one for the wifi
[14:11] <xubuntu864> bluesabre. ok, I'll do that.
[14:11] <bluesabre> thanks, I appreciate your patience :)
[14:11] <xubuntu864> I appreciate your help :) Is that it for now?
[14:12] <Balorth> ActionParsnip: BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
[14:12] <bluesabre> that should be it. And be sure to leave a comment on the other bug that the issue is actually the unity lockscreen
[14:12] <bleb> ubottu: that page is for older versions of ubuntu - should I still expect it to work?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: yeah, thought it would be a cheap broadcom
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | Balorth
[14:13] <xubuntu864> "the issue is actually the unity lockscreen" , but wait, I did the lock->unlock test even when I was still using the nouveau driver, and that worked fine.
[14:13] <wheresmypaaants> Okay, so i rebooted and attempted memtest, it wasnt an option, not in advanced or main, and not in recovery
[14:13] <theclockknowsall> Hi there!
[14:13] <theclockknowsall> I got a question!
[14:13] <aledzadza> is there anyway i can rotate my photos on my webpage? ><
[14:14] <wheresmypaaants> theclockknowsall: I can help, but only if I get to be the clock.
[14:14] <cfhowlett> !ask|theclockknowsall
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[14:14] <theclockknowsall> ok :D
[14:14] <xubuntu864> ok, well at any rate, I'll leave a comment as descriptive as possible.
[14:14] <wheresmypaaants> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[14:14] <cfhowlett> aledzadza ??? not an ubuntu query and totally depends on how your website is set up
[14:14] <wheresmypaaants> thats all
[14:14] <bluesabre> xubuntu864: oh right, it might be an issue with just unity.
[14:14] <bluesabre> xubuntu864: thanks
[14:14] <theclockknowsall> This is my problem while I am doing something on Ubuntu-Customizing-Kit http://hastebin.com/ogafajulal.vhdl
[14:15] <Balorth> ActionParsnip: just thought id say,it work with unsecured networks
[14:15] <wheresmypaaants> theclockknowsall: I don't think we help with third party programs for ubuntu, do we?
[14:15] <aledzadza> cfhowlett: basic apache server with some "php gallery" script
[14:15] <theclockknowsall> wheresmypaaants: oh.. sorry.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: if you run: dpkg -l | awk {'print $2'} | grep mem
[14:15] <cfhowlett> aledzadza best you ask over in php or apache, I suggest
[14:15] <basementcomputer> I need help installing my wireless driver
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: do you see memtest installed?
[14:16] <TJ-> wheresmypaaants: Can you pastebin the output from "grep memtest /boot/grub/grub.cfg && dpkg -l memtest86+"
[14:16] <xubuntu864> bluesabre, anyway. I guess that's it for now. ciao!
[14:16] <wheresmypaaants> ActionParsnip: Yes
[14:16] <wheresmypaaants> TJ-: Yes
[14:16] <wheresmypaaants> TJ-: No output
[14:16] <basementcomputer> I have a broadcom bcm4306
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | basementcomputer
[14:16] <basementcomputer> and it is listed under the opensource drivers on the ubuntu wiki for wireless
[14:17] <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...
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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'
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <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.
[14:28] <cfhowlett> SonikkuAmerica not 100% accurate.  xubuntu only gets 3 years
[14:28] <wheresmypaaants> all done
[14:29] <wheresmypaaants> TJ-: So, boot from CD and run memtest?
[14:29] <wheresmypaaants> Alrighty
[14:30] <TJ-> wheresmypaaants: Yes
[14:31] <TJ-> wheresmypaaants: My concern is, whilst the RAM is suspect, that writing the DVD from the possibly faulty system may result in the DVD being corrupted itself. Be aware of that if the DVD fails in strange ways.
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: there is a memtest cd, bit smaller than a full ubuntu cd but having a cd is super useful
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: you are on Ubuntu 14.04, not Ubuntu 14
[14:34] <sendex> Hi
[14:34] <popey> bleb: i would upgrade directly to 14.04
[14:43] <roadtrip> " Port 22: Connection refused!" I am trying to log myself in using terminal but i am this error message. ssh
[14:44] <SchrodingersScat> roadtrip: can you ping the machine?
[14:44] <roadtrip> does 1404 come with firewall or antivirus program?
[14:45] <TJ-> roadtrip: Does the target system have openssh-server installed? Is it on the same LAN as the client?
[14:45] <roadtrip>  SchrodingersScat: how would you do that? ping?
[14:46] <SchrodingersScat> roadtrip: sure, ping addressofmachine
[14:47] <roadtrip> SchrodingersScat: let me try that. thanks
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: comes with iptables as firewall. You dont need AV
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: can you telnet to the socket?
[14:48] <wheresmypaaants> Okay, I'm back with no luck
[14:48] <wheresmypaaants> No memtest option from USB grub
[14:50] <roadtrip> SchrodingersScat: yes. I can ping to my desktop
[14:51] <wheresmypaaants> TJ-: You there?
[14:52] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip: Do i need to disable firewall to ssh and log in from terminal?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: the default is allow all traffic, so it wont be blocking you unless you have been messing with the config of iptables
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: can you telnet to the socket ok?
[14:53] <roadtrip> I don't know how I can telnet to the socket.
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: telnet ip.of.server.pc 22
[14:53] <TJ-> wheresmypaaants: That is weird - memtest86 should be on the live ISO boot menu
[14:54] <wheresmypaaants> TJ-: My point exactly - It should be on the disc... Something is really going on with my tower
[14:54] <wheresmypaaants> Its nearing 2 years
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: there is a memtest iso you can use
[14:55] <wheresmypaaants> ActionParsnip: Where
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: well, i searched the web, just like you could. I found this
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.iso.gz
[14:56] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: do you get a connection with telnet?
[14:57] <trisita> Can I ask for a registration code for Linux mint 17 in this forum here?
[14:57] <trisita> Forgive me if I am wrong
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> trisita: mint is offtopic here
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> !away > CyberJacob|Away
[14:58] <cfhowlett> !mint | trisita
[14:58] <trisita> ok
[14:58] <trisita> thanks ubottu
[14:59] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip:telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: is the ssh server running on the server?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: or stop it, then start it again
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: you could put a watch on the auth.log to see what happens when you try to connect
[15:01] <daschel> in gnome 3 when I modify the js files for an installed extension, im not seeing any changes applied.  IS there something else I need to do to have the source reloaded?
[15:01] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip:mine is not a server. just old desktop running on lubantu. I am trying to log in from terminal.
[15:02] <TJ-> roadtrip: As I asked earlier, "Does the target system have openssh-server installed?"
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: yes but its running an ssh server....
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: as TJ- says, is openssh-server installed?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: is the ssh server service running?
[15:03] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip:how can i check to see if ssh server service is running?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Tj-: i think we found the issue
[15:04] <jmss> hi, do you know which "graphical" mode is used in runlevel 3 after some console messages appear?
[15:04] <jmss> my screen goes blank (because it is a cedarview graphical card, not supported, but text mode should not trigger this, I hoped)
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: on the system you want to connect to, run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-server
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Jmss: which release?
[15:04] <jmss> ubuntu server
[15:05] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip: ok. let me try that.
[15:05] <TJ-> ActionParsnip: yes, I suspected that from the first :)
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Tj-: aye, my command covers all eventualities too :-)
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Jmss: add the boot option: vga=789
[15:07] <jmss> ok, I will try that, I changed /etc/default/grub to GRUB_TERMINAL=console but while the text got "text", it still went blank, I will try the vga option. In which template of grub?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Jmss: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash vga=789"
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Jmss: for example
[15:09] <jmss> ok, will try
[15:10] <roadtrip> ActionParsnip: got it working. thank you.
[15:14] <magesing> Hi everyone, sometimes I like the convienance of installing things via the ubuntu software center, and sometimes I'm in a terminal and I just want to sudo apt-get whatever I want. Will I cause any problems with updates flipping back and fourth?
[15:14] <jmss> it didn't work, but I think the option is in effect, because I see in the logs: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic root=UUID=deb0a0d9-8e1e-4a1a-a4a1-bc198ac41b32 ro splash vga=789 vt.handoff=7
[15:16] <jmss> maybe vga=771? will try
[15:17] <mrpcguy> jmss: i might try vga=791
[15:18] <foofoobar> Hi. My sound stopped working, there is nothing to here. My card is shown under /proc/asound/cards and the aplay command also works - but there is no sound.
[15:18] <foofoobar> What else can I do ?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> roadtrip: was it even installed in the first place?
[15:19] <jmss> 771 did not work, will try 791, can't it be text mode like in the first console messages? why is there an intermmediate graphics level between initial grub and runlevel 5? runlevel 3 could be equal to rub's initial text
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[15:20] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, I'm using 13.10
[15:21] <foofoobar> I figured out that "sudo aplay soundfile" works, but "aplay soundfile"
[15:21] <foofoobar> But my current logged in user is member of the "audio" group.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.config/pulse* ~/.pulse*
[15:21] <jmss> 791 does not work, also
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: Saucy is EOL during next month, you may want to upgrade soon
[15:21] <bluezone> Seems most different terminal programs in x-terminal-emulator ( https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/x-terminal-emulator ) either use -x or -e to execute a program. Some flavours don't even have the option at all! Is there some sort of cross-program solution to executing a program? E.g. i can just call: x-terminal-emulator -e or -x 'progname'
[15:22] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, yes I will, currently have a rate limited internet connection, I will upgrade next week when I'm at work.
[15:22] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, I will execute that, give me a second
[15:22] <mrpcguy> jmss: i think i informed you wrong, i looked at a reference table of linux video mode numbers and 770 might work
[15:23] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, do I have to restart now?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> bluezone: try: env (i think its that) there may be a variable for the terminal.
[15:23] <TJ-> jmss: lose the "splash" and replace it with "text"
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: no, pulse will autostart, try some sounds
[15:23] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, still not working. Doing the sudo aplay file thing works, without the sudo not
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: what is the output of: groups
[15:25] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, strange. "groups robin" gives me: robin : robin adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare libvirtd
[15:25] <foofoobar> Just "groups" gives me a different output: robin adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare libvirtd
[15:25] <foofoobar> (whoami = robin)
[15:25] <subb1> hi all
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: seems you arent in the audio group
[15:25] <subb1> google's not helping me. I have this error coming up in my syslog and kern.log on ubuntu 14.04.. It's piling up the size of my log files to 100s  of MBs. :
[15:25] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, but "groups robin" tells me I am
[15:26] <subb1> [ 1069.091006] [drm:intel_cancel_fbc_work], cancelling pending FBC enable
[15:26] <foofoobar> I did a groupadd just some minutes ago.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> subb1: ok, have you looked online what that means?
[15:26] <foofoobar> Also why am I removed from this group? I did not do this..
[15:26] <subb1> ActionParsnip, I did..
[15:26] <subb1> google's not helping me.  :(
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: sudo usermod -a -G audio robin
[15:27] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, "groups" still telling me I'm not in the audio group
[15:27] <Psil0Cybin> Hey guys I am using Xubuntu 12.04 and when I try to add a theme from XfceLook or the Default theme all the applications show a dark background with dark text or a gray GUI with white text
[15:27] <Psil0Cybin> i am confused, how can i fix my themes so i am able tosee buttons properly
[15:27] <Jonii_> Hey, how come Ubuntu reliably crashes whenever I have less than 90min remaining on battery?
[15:27] <Psil0Cybin> and enter text
[15:28] <jmss> 770 does not work, text without splash and vga= does not work also
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> subb1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1290611
[15:28] <Jonii_> It really sucks that I can't really get Ubuntu to use battery power below 25%. It's like I had 25% smaller battery than I actually do
[15:28] <CooLBALL1> Hi
[15:29] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, maybe I have to reboot after the usermod?
[15:29] <bluezone> ActionParsnip, hmm this is nice, it can tell me what the user's preffered terminal is, but what about launching the program without knowing whether to use the -e or -x option :P
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: you need to log off and on again.
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> foofoobar: same as in windows
[15:29] <foofoobar> all right, give me a second
[15:29] <Jonii_> Does anyone know any cool google search terms for this?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> bluezone: you could grep the env to then select the right option.
[15:30] <Jonii_> I've been trying to come up with search terms like "ubuntu battery", but the results seem mostly unrelated
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> bluezone: xterm is standard in all GNU distributions.....
[15:30] <bluezone> ActionParsnip, o really?
[15:30] <bluezone> so all GNU distros have xterm
[15:30] <foofoobar> ActionParsnip, all right, "groups" now tell me that I am in the audio group, but aplay still only works with sudo.
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: well, its too vague for a search
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> bluezone: yes, its mandatory. Even mac os has it
[15:31] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: Yes, I just said that
[15:31] <TJ-> foofoobar: Is the file to be played only readable by 'root' ?
[15:31] <bluezone> beautiful
[15:31] <foofoobar> TJ-, no, -rw-r--r--
[15:31] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: that's why I want help with coming up with better search terms. Or even direct help with my issue
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: try searching for: ubuntu set warning battery levels
[15:32] <terminator1> test.....
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> !test | terminator1
[15:33] <TJ-> foofoobar: How about the aplay executable "stat $(which aplay)" ?
[15:33] <Sander^home> How come the burning process for ubuntu 14.04 on a dvdr+ dosnt stop. I've followed this guide. And the dvd is just empty after burning it:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu
[15:33] <jmss> mrpcguy: 770 does not work, how to you call the graphics mode between the initial text messages and the graphical one (runlevel 5)?
[15:34] <foofoobar> TJ-, its 0755
[15:34] <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] <foofoobar> the only sound I get is when I use sudo aplay..
[15:35] <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] <subb1> I had ignored it since I didn't have any problem with audio.
[15:35] <biledemon> woops I mean Ubuntu
[15:36] <foofoobar> TJ-, 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH\n HDA Intel PCH at 0xd0510000 irq 44
[15:36] <TJ-> jmss: I *suspect* that you're suffering an issue with the CedarView driver and kernel mode setting. It was the cedarview device on that system, wasn't it?
[15:37] <jmss> TJ-: yes, I've had problems with cedarview in the past, so I decided to used this board just for a server
[15:37] <foofoobar> TJ-, its the onboard soundcard of my dell xps 13
[15:38] <jmss> TJ-: can I disable kernel mode setting and keep with the text console mode?
[15:38] <TJ-> foofoobar: Can you pastebin the output from "ls -al /dev/snd/"
[15:38] <jmss> will try nomodeset
[15:39] <maxiepax> encfs doesn't work that well over NFS (permissions basically), does anyone know a good simple encryption method that works over nfs? optimally one that contains everything in a single file.

[15:39] <maxiepax> im guessing everything using FUSE will work really bad.
[15:40] <maxiepax> terminator1: 14.04 32-bit
[15:41] <amit_> how can i change themes in 14.04?
[15:42] <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
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <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?
[15:47] <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_
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <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
[15:50] <tillian> hello
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> ravindu: id have put in 8Gb, its the maximum for the board. Ram is cheap :-)
[15:52] <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?
[15:53] <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.
[15:54] <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] <ravindu> bnutzer: What NVidia GPUs do you recommend for Ubuntu 14.04?
[15:55] <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?
[15:56] <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 :)
[15:57] <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] <ravindu> bnutzer: ok
[16:00] <Sander^home> When I burn an iso image to a dvdr+, the progress bar when  writing checksums is only zero, even tho i've waited alot.
[16:00] <foofoobar_> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7685879/ and this is the paste with "sudo" (working): http://paste.ubuntu.com/7685888/
[16:01] <bnutzer> ok. thanks for the support
[16:02] <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
[16:06] <TJ-> foofoobar_: When it fails is any message printed?
[16:06] <foofoobar_> TJ-, no.
[16:07] <Sander^home> wilee-nilee, there is no option to not write checksums.
[16:09] <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.
[16:10] <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.
[16:11] <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.
[16:12] <wilee-nilee> more packages anyway
[16:13] <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.
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <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_> In this state no user is logged in, right?
[16:15] <panther_> hello
[16:16] <TJ-> foofoobar_: before you do, can you pastebin this output? "pacmd list | pastebinit"
[16:16] <panther_> is anyone there
[16:16] <panther_> I've got a question about my computer running linux mint
[16:16] <foofoobar_> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7685972/
[16:16] <foofoobar_> I'm doing the guest sound test now, be right back.
[16:17] <panther_> I tried the #linuxmint channel. No help
[16:17] <panther_> I thought I could ask you guys
[16:17] <bazhang_> !mintsupport | panther_
[16:18] <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?
[16:19] <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"
[16:20] <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!
[16:21] <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
[16:23] <foofoobar> TJ-, yeah I also thought its a permission issue.. So when using sudo the preferences from gnome-control-center are ignored?
[16:25] <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] <TJ-> ALSA == Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
[16:26] <bazhang_> linuxuz3r, no they are not the same
[16:27] <linuxuz3r> systemd is used in 14.04 right
[16:27] <linuxuz3r> or is it upstart
[16:27] <jimbohertz> upstaaaaaaaart
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <TJ-> gdeeble: That suggests that mountall is taking its time dealing with the assembly of the 2 arrays, causing a temporary stall
[16:33] <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?
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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.
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <TJ-> gdeeble: what does "cat /proc/mdstat" report?
[16:43] <jimbohertz> told yyuuhh
[16:43] <linuxuz3r> ok
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <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)
[16:46] <TJ-> gdeeble: now do "cat /proc/mdstat"
[16:46] <XposWinU> best alternative to "File Roller" archive manager?
[16:47] <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?
[16:48] <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] <gdeeble> TJ-: It shows root(125),swap(126), raid5(127 rather than 130). I really wish I could rename them to 0,1,2,3
[16:49] <bazhang_> !wine | CrRaul
[16:49] <bazhang_> check the appdb for how well it works CrRaul
[16:49] <TJ-> gdeeble: That is where mdadm.conf comes in; you can define the arrays and their members there
[16:49] <CrRaul> ok..thx
[16:50] <TJ-> gdeeble: "man mdadm.conf" for info
[16:50] <bazhang_> !appdb | CrRaul
[16:50] <bazhang_> CrRaul, or just use libreoffice
[16:50] <gdeeble> TJ-: Now the array is resyncing
[16:50] <brasileiro> hi, i'm having a little problem with my wired usb mouse... it freezes from time to time... i've already changed the laptop-mode configs to blacklist his ID from autosuspend, but the problem continues... any ideas?
[16:50] <TJ-> gdeeble: Good... let it complete that, and whilst it does research the mdadm.conf config you need
[16:51] <CrRaul> I use libreoffice but i need of Microsoft office because is complex...
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[16:51] <gdeeble> TJ-: so once that rebuilds properly, then it should stop griping about the "/boot" not ready or present?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> CrRaul: lots of guides for Wine. Check the wine appdb for details
[16:51] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[16:52] <bazhang_> CrRaul, then check the appdb and join #winehq for help
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <TJ-> gdeeble: see this article for how to change the preferred minor number: http://superuser.com/questions/346719/how-to-change-the-name-of-an-md-device-mdadm
[16:53] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, i'm using gnome, should I install xfce?
[16:53] <TJ-> gdeeble: I have to leave now, good luck
[16:53] <gdeeble> TJ-: Thanks so much for all the help. I'll cross my fingers it's just me being impatient
[16:53] <gdeeble> haha
[16:54] <CooLBALL1> I am using unity making me a kewl person
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: what window manager are you using?
[16:55] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, Gnome, but already installing xfce4
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: gnome is the desktop environment, what window manager are you using?
[16:56] <CrRaul> one more question: In linux there is the danger of infected by virus?
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: what is the output of: ps -ef | egrep -i 'compiz|mutter|xfwin|kwin|box' | grep -v grep
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> !av | CrRaul
[16:57] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, compiz
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: then that is your window manager. Try a session that doesnt use compoziting
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: if xfce is ok then we know that compiz is to blame (becuse imho its junk)
[16:59] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, ok, gonna try that right now =)
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, yeah, that was it...
[17:02] <brasileiro> ActionParsnip, incredible! thank you very much!!
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> brasileiro: no worries
[17:05] <OerHeks> Psil0Cybin, there still is no theme editor, but maybe this page is any help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Theming
[17:05] <Psil0Cybin> how about xfce same thing?
[17:06] <OerHeks> dunno
[17:06] <maxiepax> anyone able to recommend a folder encryption that isn't based on FUSE? Something that works nicely with NFS, preferably something that spits out a single file?
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:13] <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.
[17:14] <vmnovak> Would some kind soul be willing to help me out?
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> vmnovak: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119534/easiest-way-to-setup-ubuntu-as-a-vpn-server
[17:15] <Psil0Cybin> OerHeks, like all i want to do is change the text color
[17:15] <Psil0Cybin> on the panel?
[17:15] <Psil0Cybin> would i need to do a lot of digging and editing for that
[17:16] <[[thufir]]> very weird.  I can't ping google, but IRC works fine...
[17:16] <terminator2>  opera ssl error how to fix it
[17:17] <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?
[17:20] <[[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?
[17:22] <[[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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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*
[17:25] <[[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] <vmnovak> [[thufir]],Google DNS 8.8.8.8
[17:27] <bart> Hi
[17:27] <Guest43157> is it possible to switch into single user mode without rebooting the computer in Ubuntu?
[17:28] <[[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?
[17:29] <OerHeks> [[thufir]], i would use the adress of your landlords wifi ip
[17:33] <[[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.
[17:34] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys anyway to get a dark colored gtk theme without dark text when you type in text fields? anyway to edit these kind of themes
[17:35] <bnutzer> hello. two questions: what is the default terminal emulator and is it possible to get rid of these shopping searches etc on unity? (14.04)
[17:35] <asdofindia> bnutzer, gnome-terminal and yes.
[17:35] <wrongplace> hi i get this every time I boot the system: 0271 check date settings 0251 system cmos checksum bad <<< i have already written new and correct date settings thrice in the last week. Sometimes the system boots without problems and other times, 3 so far, I eitehr press f1 and continue or press f2 and write, again, the date settings. Why does the system keep forgetting the correct date and time settings?
[17:35] <cylonmath> I use gnome-session-fallback package which provides old gnome interface, and I am in love with it.
[17:36] <hackal> Hello, I have apache2 on 14.04. I am getting this error "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini." which php.ini file should I edit to change this setting and what other settings should I change?
[17:36] <OerHeks> bnutzer, no, shopping stuff is hard coded, i use synaptic to avoid that crap
[17:36] <bnutzer> asdofindia: ahh, looks like gnome-terminal is installes, but the search thingy didn't find it at first
[17:37] <bnutzer> asdofindia: any information about removing it? i like unity, but don't need the search thingy
[17:37] <OerHeks> asdofindia, how would you turn those shopping off?
[17:38] <fffff> I have  Lubuntu and my kodak camera will not mount.. I searched and search no results..
[17:38] <fffff> i installed gthumb fprot etec tec nothing
[17:38] <fffff> fspot
[17:39] <enrique_> hi, any knows if its possible sync lumia phones with ubuntu?
[17:39] <fffff> ????
[17:39] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: Dual booting Windows ? A difference in how the harware clock is read ?
[17:39] <wrongplace> no, only ubuntu
[17:39] <asdofindia> bnutzer, OerHeks: settings -> security and privacy -> search -> online sources
[17:39] <bnutzer> fffff: perhaps the camera doesn't expose the file system directly, but uses something like mtp for access
[17:40] <bnutzer> asdofindia: thank you very much :)
[17:40] <fffff> well i just installed lubuntu this is sucky i need to get photos off
[17:41] <asdofindia> fffff, on your camera there must be something called a mass storage mode.
[17:41] <fffff> there is a mode i selected it
[17:41] <OerHeks> asdofindia, no, that is for the amazon stuff
[17:42] <Beldar> fffff, in the terminal run lsusb and see if the camera shows.
[17:42] <fffff> no
[17:42] <loki27_> Anyone used MAAS ?
[17:42] <fffff> wait just did it again and its there
[17:42] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: /etc/default/rcS ; What is set in the line Set UTC=yes : ??
[17:42] <bnutzer> how would one change the default "runlevel" or what ever it is called?
[17:43] <Beldar> fffff, Ah well the computer does not see it. Does kodak promise linux access?
[17:43] <OerHeks> fffff, gphotofs should work, 1st answer > http://askubuntu.com/questions/465090/14-04-doesnt-mount-digital-camera
[17:43] <fffff> Bus 002 Device 014: ID 040a:060c Kodak Co.
[17:43] <loki27_> I have setup MAAS, now have 4 nodes in "Ready state" then what ?
[17:44] <fffff> gthumbs? and fspot does not see it
[17:44] <OerHeks> gthumbs ? did i type that?
[17:44] <wrongplace> Bashing-om, UTC=yes <<<< thats what the file says
[17:46] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: That entry is correct for linux .. I am out of ideas what else might change the hardware clock.
[17:46] <wrongplace> Bashing-om, my systems turns a bit unstable every time it runs on battery power only
[17:47] <wrongplace> like, the clock shows a false time, but the date is ok
[17:47] <fffff> i install gphotofs
[17:47] <Prasad> how to install ubuntu sdk on debian wheezy?help?
[17:48] <OerHeks> Prasad, not, as you will run into issues.
[17:48] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: Lap top machine ? is laptop-mode-tools installed ?
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> fffff: does the camera have a disk mode?
[17:49] <wrongplace> Bashing-om, is that the package name?
[17:49] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: Yepper, laptop-mode-tools .
[17:50] <ttynewbie> ubuntu bootable usb..using dd?
[17:50] <fffff> yea lsusb shows the camera
[17:50] <wrongplace> Bashing-om, should I install it?
[17:50] <Prasad> OerHeks: so what i need to do to get started to build ubuntu apps ,shift to ubuntu os(is the only solution)?
[17:50] <fffff> but does not pop up nor can gthum or shotwell show it
[17:51] <OerHeks> Prasad, yes, as ubuntu is tweaked ( root account disabled)
[17:51] <theadmin> OerHeks: ...that's far from the only difference between Ubuntu and Debian
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> fffff: thats not what i asked.....
[17:52] <OerHeks> theadmin, just one example why it will run into issues
[17:52] <fffff> there is a mode.. application mode or kodak mode
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: its worked up to now...
[17:52] <Bashing-om> wrongplace: That is but one option for managing power in a lap top.. as it is native it is the one I suggest. Takes some configuring from what I have gathered.
[17:52] <ttynewbie> How do i put ubuntu on a bootable usb? dd doesn't work
[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.
[17:53] <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)
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> fffff: does dmesg show any output if you unplug and replug in the device. You may need to use an SD card reader. Kodak hate Linux
[17:54] <fffff> fml
[17:54] <fffff> i have no reader
[17:54] <tony> are there any alternitives to Wine?
[17:54] <fffff> 2396.011253] usb 2-6: Product: KODAK EASYSHARE C195 Digital Camera
[17:54] <ttynewbie> How do i check my usb device..just to be sure!
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> tony: cedega or crossover office
[17:54] <tony> k
[17:55] <fffff> i really dont want to have to install windows for a camera
[17:55] <theadmin> tony: No, not really. Those mentioned are based on wine anyway
[17:55] <tony> k
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Tony: both have an appdb, just like wine
[17:55] <tony> k
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> fffff: you may be able to add a udev rule to tell the OS to read it as a storage device
[17:56] <fffff> how ?
[17:56] <theadmin> ttynewbie: Run a md5sum check, md5sum /dev/sdz
[17:56] <theadmin> ttynewbie: Of course, replace "sdz" with the actual device
[17:56] <theadmin> *might* need sudo there, not sure
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> fffff: im no good with udev rules. There are tonnes of guides online, maybe someone else can advise. If there is not a bug reported, please report the issue
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: user should have read access, not 100% sure as you say
[17:57] <fffff> fuck me
[17:58] <ttynewbie> theadmin: how do i find out my usb device label? I mean if its sdb or sdx
[17:58] <theadmin> ttynewbie: sudo blkid should help
[17:59] <ttynewbie> Do i need to umount it first?
[17:59] <zsmh> test... can you all see me?
[17:59] <theadmin> ttynewbie: Before dding, yes.
[17:59] <theadmin> zsmh: Yes.
[17:59] <fffff> ok guess i will remove this linux lubuntu shit to use a camera lol fail
[17:59] <zsmh> thank you
[17:59] <ttynewbie> Ok thx
[18:00] <mrpcguy> how do i stop unity from starting on boot?
[18:00] <theadmin> mrpcguy: What? It doesn't start at boot, it starts on login. Do you mean disabling automatic sign-in?
[18:02] <mrpcguy> theadmin: only on login? what about disabling the gui login screen so it starts up to a command prompt.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> mrpcguy: install a new session like xfce4 or lxde
[18:03] <theadmin> mrpcguy: Ah, that
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mrpcguy: its a plugin for compiz so is easily disabled there but you will need to manually launch another shell / panel
[18:03] <theadmin> mrpcguy: sudo service lightdm stop && sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled
[18:03] <Guest37628> howdy, how can I restart my ctrl+alt+F7 screen ? it's frozen after trying to remove some compiz options
[18:03] <Guest37628> ?
[18:03] <theadmin> mrpcguy: That will disable the GUI login
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mrpcguy: or add the boot option: text
[18:04] <terminator1>  opera ssl error solutions?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> mrpcguy: it will boot to cli only
[18:04] <mrpcguy> thank you
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> terminator1: when do you get the errors?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> terminator1: we need details, we cannot see your system.
[18:04] <terminator1>  when viisiting twitter.com
[18:05] <oddant> howdy, how can I restart my ctrl+alt+F7 screen ? it's frozen after trying to remove some compiz options
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> terminator1: does it only affect twitter's page?
[18:05] <terminator1>  any site with secured connecttion.
[18:05] <linuxuz3r> oddant, try sudo telinit 2
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> terminator1: and what do you see onscreen when you go to the page?
[18:06] <terminator1>  ssl error return to safety.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> terminator1: why was this sort of detail not on your initial question?

[18:29] <foofoobar> theadmin, there is only a checkbox to mute it.
[18:29] <terminator1> it is correct.
[18:29] <foofoobar> I want to disable it (cause my monitor does not have a speaker=
[18:29] <freezer> hello my friends
[18:30] <theadmin> foofoobar: In output devices, there's a green checkmark thing near every device, check it for your internal device
[18:30] <freezer> would you care for some tea?
[18:30] <terminator1> system time is correct.
[18:30] <theadmin> terminator1: "Also, check for updates, and make sure you are running a supported Ubuntu version"
[18:30] <alexi5> hello
[18:30] <alexi5> is it possible to watch netflix on ubuntu
[18:30] <foofoobar> theadmin, I did. So now it will always take the interal one?
[18:31] <terminator1> i am running ubuntu 10.1.
[18:32] <OerHeks> terminator1, maybe that is why you did not get hte SSL update, 10.10 is EOL and 10.04 desktop too
[18:32] <theadmin> foofoobar: It should, yup
[18:32] <foofoobar> theadmin, thanks
[18:32] <hanna> alexi5: yes it is. check out this link: http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/
[18:33] <Jonii_> Hello. All my Ubuntu installations seem to be very prone to crashing if battery goes below 2h remaining
[18:33] <alexi5> thanks hanna
[18:34] <alexi5> This is my firts install of ubuntu on a SSD and this install runs smooth compare to when I  ran it on HDD
[18:35] <hanna> alexi5: yes, it's definitely a delight to switch from hdd to ssd
[18:39] <Jonii_> It takes like 45min to install programs required to use Netflix on Ubuntu.
[18:40] <Jonii_> I'm still struggling to use these various proxy things to change my location for netflix as well. They for whatever reason don't seem to work on Netflix Desktop as well as they did on Windows
[18:41] <linuxuz3r> i miss redhat
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> tu
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> lol
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> hey guys. im following this guide: https://leonard.io/blog/2011/12/installing-ruby-1-9-2-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneric-ocelot-without-using-rvm/
[18:42] <alexi5> jonii_: you can get one of those dns proxies
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> when it says --slave ...... how do i execute that command? im not sure what its taling about
[18:45] <Jonii_> AcidRain2012: it's not a command but a parameter? Like, \ is to indicate that the line continues?
[18:45] <oddant> how one would run compiz settings manager from the command line ?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: netflix doesnt support linux outside of Android. The netflix-desktop package uses a seriously hacked Wine version.
[18:45] <AcidRain2012> oh snap
[18:46] <AcidRain2012> are u sure?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> oddant: compiz --replace
[18:46] <Jonii_> AcidRain2012: nope
[18:46] <AcidRain2012> oh...
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: so the fact that it works at all isnt due to Netflix supporting Linux well.
[18:47] <oddant> ActionParsnip: thanks but i still can't reach
[18:48] <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] <ActionParsnip> oddant: reach what?
[18:50] <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] <Pixel> hello
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> oddant: if you have an older pc, you may want to use lxde or xfce4
[18:52] <oddant> i wish i used those but i can't even reach my browser anymore
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> oddant: you dont need to change the command i gave, just run it as given
[18:57] <oddant> sure
[18:57] <oddant> in progress
[18:58] <sydney> XD
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <sydney> oddant: What do you mean?
[18:59] <oddant> it was a question for ActionParsnip
[19:02] <oddant> ok it works well now
[19:02] <oddant> great
[19:02] <dj_beirut> is it possible to create a sub interface on the same nic?
[19:03] <Guest97839> im trying xubuntu in asus laptop with nvidia but fans dont stop working even when load is only 2%. what I do_
[19:03] <sydney> oddant: If you want to talk to a certian person,type thier name before your sentence.
[19:04] <sydney> oddant: And if its a long name,type the first few letters,then hit tab. :D
[19:04] <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/
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: you can change dns servers with no ill effects. Or do you mean your hostname of your computer?
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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.
[19:08] <linuxuz3r> my router uses dhcp do i need special router for it
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: no, not at all
[19:08] <linuxuz3r> ok
[19:09] <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?
[19:11] <rigo88> hi. i get 600 fps with glxgears. any suggestions why?
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <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....
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <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.
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <Beldar> NthDegree, But I can tell you are always right no matter what so our conversation is over. ;)
[19:18]  * NthDegree just cannot be bothered to give a step by step howto on something that's already well-documented O_o
[19:18] <nzerob> Hello. Is there a >> GUI << program to control fan speeds and see temperatures?
[19:18] <Spec> gnome-multi-terminal
[19:19] <Dylan> I'm trying to upload a video to youtube with subtitles using either an .ssa file or an .ass file. I created the subtitles with Aegisub, "muxed" them with mkvmerge, the subtitles worked excellently from my harddisk when I played the video, but simply did not show up at all when uploaded to youtube. Anyone have an idea what's going on?
[19:19] <Beldar> !details > Spec
[19:20] <Spec> Beldar: what.
[19:20] <NthDegree> nzerob, gnome-applet-sensors will let you see temperatures
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <Beldar> Spec, Ah with a prefaced nick it is not clear is all, the channel asks you do this.

[19:40] <Demon> How to install .dev
[19:40] <Demon> Deb
[19:41] <bekks> Demon: Which dev exactly?
[19:41] <bekks> Demon: deb :)
[19:41] <cemotyz09> you should just double click and it should open software center
[19:41] <Demon> Sory .. I mean ..I want to install
[19:41] <Demon> Ncurses
[19:41] <bekks> !info ncurses
[19:42] <g0twig> Hello
[19:42] <hanna> demon: you can also use the dpkg command. see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-do-i-install-deb-packages/ for more info
[19:42] <bekks> Demon: Which ncurses package exactly?
[19:42] <g0twig> How can I install ia32libs on Ubuntu 14.04?
[19:42] <Demon> Aaah .. Okey
[19:42] <bekks> Demon: ncurses is in the repos - you dont need to install it from 3rd party deb file.
[19:43] <linxcat> Is the difference between lubuntu and ubuntu just the desktop interface?
[19:43] <bekks> linxcat: Yes.
[19:44] <Demon> Aah..okey thanx frnd
[19:44] <linxcat> then how come when i installed lubuntu it couldnt find my wireless card and when i installed ubuntu it found it?
[19:44] <linxcat> i did updates on both
[19:44] <g0twig> how can I install ia32lib in ubuntu 14.04
[19:45] <bekks> linxcat: How about asking your actual question? :) Which chipset do you have, and whats "not working" throwing which error actually?
[19:45] <dannixon> linxcat: There are some differences in packages aswell but this shouldn't cause that issue
[19:45] <kilab33z> sounds driver related
[19:45] <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.
[19:46] <Jonii_> nzerob: because Ubuntu is Debian but changed, and Mint is Ubuntu but changed back towards Debian
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <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?
[19:50] <Jonii_> My laptop is ASUS UX31E
[19:54] <san13> Jonii_: can u install powertop and tell me your power consumption in watts...it would be mentioned on the top once u open powertop...and do it without charger plugged in..
[19:59] <k-stz`> how can I install packages offline? Is there a way to somehow assemble a package of a working installation and put it on usb, so i can install it on another ubuntu?
[20:00] <OerHeks> k-stz`, sure, apt-on-cd can do that
[20:00] <OerHeks> !offline
[20:01] <k-stz`> great, hope its as simple as that
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> trism: thanks. Was worried for a while
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> k-stz`: if you copy the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives you can install them on another system
[20:07] <cylonmath> Guys after installing nvidia-driver package for my GTX560, i get blank screen, however, if i start the system with "recovery mode" and then "resume normal boot" i can get login screen. Whats going on?
[20:07] <blubaustin> hello
[20:08] <blubaustin> I have a amd 750k cpu on a asus a88x pro and I need lm-sensors 3.3.5 with r6216, r6237 patches or the latest trunk
[20:09] <blubaustin> how can I do that?
[20:09] <blubaustin> I am running the latest kernel on ubuntu 14.04
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> cylonmath: does the system have a make and model?
[20:10] <cylonmath> Linux cylonbasestar 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> cylonmath: or do you know the CPU?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> cylonmath: is the system a laptop?
[20:11] <cylonmath> ActionParsnip:  a desktop with i7 processor
[20:11] <mac_nibblet> I just purchased a gigabyte brix iris pro and installed 14.04 LTS and for some reason the latest kernel causes a kernel panic at boot
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> cylonmath: which i7 please?
[20:11] <mac_nibblet> but the older kernel installed works fine
[20:11] <k-stz`> cylonmath: i installed my driver (gtx650) using nvidia's linux driver, maybe give it a try?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> mac_nibblet: id love one of those.
[20:12] <cylonmath> ActionParsnip: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
[20:12] <mac_nibblet> ActionParsnip: they are pretty dam amazing
[20:12] <mac_nibblet> ActionParsnip: i bought one on my company to use for prototyping stuff
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> mac_nibblet: cheap too
[20:12] <mac_nibblet> ActionParsnip: i like the fact it fits in my palm
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <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 ?
[20:18] <meek_geek> anyone using amd c-60 apu here?
[20:19] <bekks> meek_geek: Why?
[20:19] <meek_geek> I need to knw how to fix the prop. drivers so that they work fine just like in Windows
[20:20] <meek_geek> opensource one sucks
[20:22] <meek_geek> bekks, the driver says it requires Xorg/Xserver 7.4 and above upto 1.14
[20:22] <meek_geek> but latest has 1.15.1
[20:22] <meek_geek> hw to go back ?
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <daftykins> Pritchard: you can't scan for wireless networks with a VM
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <Pritchard> Thanks.
[20:31] <daftykins> Pritchard: you probably want to use a pen testing liveUSB distro instead
[20:31] <Pritchard> daftykins:  Sounds like it.  Now to try and dig around for an old thumb drive :)

[20:55] <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?
[20:56] <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?
[20:57] <Squ4lli> Can i copy the line without be kicked?
[20:57] <Squ4lli> I don't know how to proceed
[20:57] <webnet> when in doubt pastebin
[20:57] <ianorlin> !paste
[20:57] <Squ4lli> http://pastebin.com/aHDJh868
[20:58] <Squ4lli> ok
[20:59] <Squ4lli> I had never found the firmware or something
[21:03] <Dr_Dan> Q:  why does xsane take so long to come up?  It seems to be 'scanning for devices' forever and ever.  Log shows sane runs the 'hpaio' driver but my network scanner is not found.  Devics is an HP Envy 'all-in-one' connected via WiFi.  I can print. I can ping it.  Just wont scan
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Squ4lli: then look for guides for a philips SAA7134 under Linux

[21:06] <mkdmz> How do permanently add a directory to my path, I'm looking at this top solution, http://askubuntu.com/questions/60218/how-to-add-a-directory-to-my-path, but I don't know how I would use that solution to add my own directory, where do I put my directory in that solution?
[21:07] <Squ4lli> I'll try that, thanks
[21:07] <mkdmz> I'm not sure if it means that I shold be editing .profile or what?
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> mkdmz: if you add it in /etc/environment it will apply systemwide
[21:10] <mkdmz> ActionParsnip: This is an installation script and I don't want it ran as root
[21:10] <mkdmz> or sudo

[21:31] <daninoz_> ActionParsnip, thanks, I changed it with dconf-editor
[21:32] <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.
[21:33] <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] <VinceN> Can someone point me in the direction to troubleshoot this?
[21:35] <Sunstream> Hello
[21:35] <VinceN> Hi
[21:36] <Sunstream> I am surprised with Ubuntu, unlike Windows XP I can actually use my Kindle the way I wanted to I can back up my device
[21:37] <Sunstream> I can put files on it take files off it XP I couldnt do that
[21:37] <OerHeks> :-)
[21:38] <Sunstream> I noticed one thing Kindles are Androids which have the same setup as linux lol
[21:39] <Sunstream> Rather they are modified Androids
[21:39] <Sunstream> I think I will never go back to windows
[21:40] <Sunstream> I think I am a Linux man now
[21:42] <bprompt__> hhmmm
[21:42] <bprompt__> Sunstream:    I can mount android as storage on either OS
[21:43] <bprompt__> or run the android debug machine on either at the terminal
[21:43] <Sunstream> i couldn't get it to work on xp home
[21:43] <bprompt__> Sunstream:     hmm... hmm   can't say.... I've mounted mine on xp pro
[21:44] <mkdmz> Is there an official place to store icons in the users home dir?
[21:44] <Sunstream> XP Pro is a much better OS than XP Home
[21:45] <Sunstream> but both are at EOL
[21:45] <espher> hey
[21:45] <Sunstream> Vista is right out for me to use
[21:45] <bprompt__> mkdmz:     gtk themes files are usually stored at ~/.icons
[21:45] <Sunstream> I loath Vista as much as windows ME
[21:46] <Sunstream> Windows 7 is good but requires 2x memory

[21:47] <Jethroew> !ops | did justin bieber see selena gomez naked?
[21:47] <Sunstream> not really XP Home wouldnt mount android or kindle but Ubuntu did
[21:47] <Sunstream> does

[21:47] <bprompt__> Jethroew:     wel.. what if there's water in mars?
[21:48] <mkdmz> bprompt__: I need to do two things:  (1) give Destkop Shortcut a clue where to look for it's app icon.  (2) I need to add mimetype icons to the users dir where they will be found.
[21:48] <Jethroew> no
[21:48] <Sunstream> I heard that when they saw each other naked that he had a wierd shaped joystick. at least that is what the rumors are
[21:49] <Jethroew> probably a small dick
[21:49] <Jethroew> actually
[21:49] <Sunstream> no it was "bent wierd" she said

[21:49] <bprompt__> mkdmz:     I think you can just right-click on the icon on the desktop and choose "edit" or "properties"  and it shows an icon, and you can just click the icon and it'll give you a box to find the one you want for it
[21:50] <mkdmz> bprompt__: I'm writing an installation script.

[21:58] <kitakami> arrgghh
[22:00] <OerHeks> kitakami, have you been messing around with unity-tweak ?
[22:00] <kitakami> OerHeks, to try and fix the problem, i searched around and installed unity-tweak, but it didn't fix the problem
[22:01] <kitakami> I didn't have it installed before the problem, though
[22:02] <kitakami> this is really frustrating
[22:02] <kitakami> I just want my basic menu back
[22:03] <Sunstream> I wonder what concidered a version upgrade for Ubuntu. there is 14 versions so far. I wonder if there is a history somewhere
[22:03] <Sunstream> !history
[22:03] <k1l> !releases | Sunstream
[22:04] <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"
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <Sunstream> I am kinda quick on the codes
[22:06] <mkdmz> Is there a mime database that I can update for just the user?
[22:06] <Sunstream> Why do you want to find a mime? They say nothing and are almost as scary as clowns lol
[22:06] <mkdmz> This command:  update-mime-database needs a path, and I just want to update the current users mimes
[22:07] <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. Happens often when using terminal or closing some games. Only solution seems to be rebooting or restarting lightdm. On Ubuntu 14.04, can someone help me out?
[22:08] <sydney> Sunstream: So you want to install ubuntu 14.04 on a slow system?
[22:08] <Sunstream> Some of the versions in the table do not have a EOL date
[22:09] <Sunstream> like 12.10 on one spot but I scroll down and it shows it
[22:09] <k1l> Sunstream: ??
[22:09] <k1l> Sunstream: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[22:10] <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. Happens often when using terminal or closing some games. Only solution seems to be rebooting or restarting lightdm. On Ubuntu 14.04, can someone help me out?
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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
[22:12] <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] <sydney> Sunstream: So,what do you want to do exactly? Upgrade a system,or do a fresh install?
[22:13] <sydney> Sunstream: Or try a beta?
[22:13] <bprompt> Sunstream:   if it ain't broken, don't fix it :P~
[22:13] <Sunstream> Yeah
[22:13] <Sunstream> Yep
[22:13] <sydney> Sunstream: yep to which one? ;)
[22:13] <Sunstream> I wonder if 12.04.4 will run faster than 14.04 on my 512 MB system
[22:14] <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] <Ethos> when is Ubuntu Phone being released?
[22:14] <Sunstream> No I rather remain stable.
[22:14] <k1l> !touch | Ethos

[22:15] <Sunstream> ki7mt? is that a Ham Call sign?
[22:15] <ki7mt> Sunstream, then 14.04 is probably your best bet, either Xub, Lub or Ub depending on sys resources.
[22:15] <pooriya> hi
[22:15] <Ethos> k1l: thanks
[22:15] <ki7mt> Sunstream, Yes, call sign

[22:18] <k1l> Aaraigathor: search for known bugs on launchpad.net

[22:19] <Sunstream> pooriya, got things hooked up via USB?
[22:19] <ki7mt> pooriya, does it say which device ?
[22:20] <Aaraigathor> ubottu: Sorry for coming off impatient, been looking for an answer for almost 2 weeks with no luck and been in here 4 times now with no help. Ethos: Tried a few different drivers and no apparent change. Tried changing mice as well.
[22:20] <pooriya> no its say nothing  , then it back too my login page
[22:20] <sydney> Sunstream: So,in terminal,run 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' As ki7mt  said :D

[22:22] <k1l> Sunstream: after install you can change the Desktop to lubunut on login screen
[22:22] <Sunstream> Oh ok
[22:22] <ki7mt> Sunstream, you can also try others, xubuntu-desktop, razorqt both are lightweight DE's
[22:22] <Aaraigathor> Ethos: I tried a few different driver versions with the same outcome. I went back to an even further version and it seemed to be fixed then 2 days later I'm back to the same problem. Any other suggestions how to fix? Thanks

[22:46] <Sunstream> Okay strange why is it looking for emulators
[22:46] <k1l> !paste | Sunstream
[22:46] <Guest3717> oh thank you very much sydney
[22:47] <Sunstream> its just a few things things i see in the install output in the terminal
[22:47] <Sunstream> byt why is it looking for mame and mess I do not have those installed
[22:47] <yigal> This isn't Ubuntu specific, but I'm trying to authenticate with my Time Warner Cable modem an Arris DG860 using cURL, so I can determine the WAN IP from querying it.  Has anyone here done this successfully before?
[22:48] <DaveD0101> Hi all. Anyone had an issue with getting gnome to remember a multi-monitor arrangement?
[22:48] <yigal> I happen to be using Ubuntu - atm.
[22:48] <sydney> Guest3717: you can type in "/join #ubuntu-it" without the parentheses.
[22:48] <sydney> Guest3717: And that will take you there.
[22:48] <pooriya> System won't suspend after upgrading to 14.04
[22:48] <yigal> DaveD0101: what version of GNOME?
[22:48] <pooriya> what shoud i do?
[22:49] <yigal> pooriya: when you attempt to suspend what happens?
[22:49] <rsw> ok, is there a support channel for older versions of ubuntu, specifically 12.04?
[22:49] <Guest3717> sydney you are very nice, thank you
[22:49] <Sunstream> setting up wvdial (1.61-4.1_ ...  (next line) Sorry, You can retry the autodetection at any time by running "wvdialconf" (Orupi cam create /etc/wvdial.conf yourself.) What in the world does that man?
[22:49] <Sunstream> mean*
[22:50] <pooriya> its say some devices fail to suspend and get back too  login page
[22:50] <wysiwit> hello :)
[22:50] <sydney> Sunstream: Just sit back and wait for it to finish.
[22:50] <Sunstream> !details wvdial
[22:50] <DaveD0101> yigal, 3.9.9
[22:50] <sydney> Guest3717: No problem. :D
[22:50] <Guest3717> ^_^
[22:50] <ki7mt> pooriya, Is this the issue your seeing?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1303736
[22:51] <Sunstream> Well I am not messing with the install. I just never seen thishappen on a Linux install
[22:51] <wysiwit> hi, how can i keep my system clean, new ssd installed, i don't wanna use bleachbit! thanks.
[22:51] <ki7mt> pooriya, is yes, then light-locker and light-locker-settings, and try installing : xscreensaver
[22:52] <pooriya> no no , my pc dont go on blank , it,s not suspending
[22:52] <ki7mt> then, remove light-locker and light-locker-settings and installing xscreensaver
[22:52] <sydney> Sunstream: :D
[22:52] <Sunstream> okay now it is is done
[22:52] <Vo1d> where is depth color configuration en trusty tahr?
[22:52] <sydney> Sunstream: I learn about new packages every day. :D
[22:53] <pooriya> tnx i try it
[22:53] <Sunstream> it is back at suntop@MACHINENAME:~$ so now I should log out and back in?
[22:53] <DaveD0101> I've tried the regular Displays settings. That works until reboot. I've tried editing the X offsets in monitors.xml. That doesn't seem to do anything at all. I've edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually and with the nvidia control panel. Those settings don't persist through reboot either.
[22:53] <Jordan_U> wysiwit: "clean" in what sense?
[22:53] <Aaraigathor> pooriya: Change the 'DRIVERS' line from: DRIVERS="ehci xhci" to: DRIVERS="uhci_hcd xhci_hcd" as was the case in the '/sys/bus/pci/drivers' directory.  Then edit the file '/etc/default/grub' (as root), changing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_sleep=nonvs".  Then running sudo update-grub. Might work
[22:53] <sydney> Sunstream: Yes,log out,select lubuntu,then log back in. :D
[22:53] <Sunstream> okay
[22:54] <bprompt> Sunstream:   maybe just reboot, and at the login screen, choose "lxwm" as the windows session manager
[22:54] <wysiwit> Jordan_U hi ty um anything i should do or run?  i'm just use 2 windows mess.
[22:55] <ki7mt> pooriya, If it's not the black screen, it could be an acpi driver issue, but probably best to exhaust all other possibilities first.
[22:55] <wysiwit> Jordan_U fresh install here any good advice or links?
[22:55] <kingplusplus> please what is your favourite alternative to truecrypt on Ubuntu?
[22:57] <ki7mt> kingplusplus, GnuPG
[22:57] <shaddowed> when will nautilus be fixed? especially the disappearing copy dialog?
[22:59] <OerHeks> shaddowed, do you want the dialog to stay open after copying is done?
[23:00] <shaddowed> no, i want to be able to restore it without opening another nautilus instance
[23:01] <Flopy> HOla!
[23:01] <shaddowed> this is bug im talking about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1170647
[23:01] <xexaxo> exit
[23:01] <xexaxo> ;\
[23:02] <OerHeks> shaddowed, what ubuntu version are you using? no problem here on 14.04
[23:03] <shaddowed> OerHeks, 14.04, you can trigger it easily when you copy something from a ntfs formated pendrive for example
[23:05] <OerHeks> well, confirm that bugreport if you think it is still valid. i can't reproduce it.
[23:05] <milad191> what does the command "don't" do in terminal ?
[23:05] <shaddowed> OerHeks, ok, will do
[23:06] <DaveD0101> anyone have any experience with multimonitor arrangements resetting after reboot?
[23:07] <ki7mt> milad191, nothing, it's expecting a closing " ' " mark thus the reason you get > prompt.
[23:07] <OerHeks> oerheks@oerheks:~$  "don't"
[23:07] <OerHeks> don't: command not found
[23:08] <Sunstream> Thank you ki7mt, Sydney
[23:08] <Sunstream> everything runs much fster
[23:08] <Sunstream> faster
[23:08] <sydney> Sunstream: Its working properly?
[23:09] <milad191> thanks ki7mt
[23:09] <sydney> Sunstream: It changes a few things around,such as when you resume from standby and power options. :D
[23:09] <ki7mt> milad191, for parameter expansion, double quote "$somevar" for literal expansion, use singles 'some literaltest'
[23:10] <Sunstream> I can watch DVDs now
[23:10] <milad191> ok ki7mt
[23:11] <sydney> Sunstream: you couldnt earlier?
[23:11] <Sunstream> I don't care about that I wanted to get mthe DVDs to play
[23:11] <Sunstream> no
[23:11] <Sunstream> Unity takes up too much resources

[23:12] <milad191> sorry
[23:12] <Aaraigathor> 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. Happens often when using terminal or closing some games. Only solution seems to be rebooting or restarting lightdm. Have tried different graphics drivers and mice. Using GeForce 7600gt SLI. On Ubuntu 14.04, can someone help me out?
[23:12] <sydney> Sunstream:  :D Have fun with lubuntu :D
[23:12] <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!!
[23:13] <Sunstream> I tested my emulator and it too worked
[23:13] <rsw> how far are you in this process whitepowder
[23:14] <whitepowder> I currently use syslinux as my loader, since it works on more machines i've tried than grub2/grub legacy
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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] <jak2001> hi all, i have been installed/configured, openssh, my question is how to access via FTP via SSH? thanks  or you recommend install vsftpd?
[23:17] <SchrodingersScat> jak2001: try sftp, should come with ssh, try sftp user@machine
[23:17] <ki7mt> jak2001, read man sftp
[23:18] <ki7mt> jak2001, from the man page ; Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to those of ftp
[23:20] <jak2001> Schnabeltierchen, ki7mt but how to connect via Windows, windows havent a sftp command
[23:21] <ki7mt> jak2001, Use a program suck as PuTTY for Windows to *Nix
[23:21] <ki7mt> whhops, such as :-)
[23:22] <ki7mt> jak2001, Link to PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[23:24] <jak2001> ok
[23:24] <Jordan_U> wysiwit: You still haven't said in what sense you want your system "clean", but I think the answer is that you don't really need to do anything special at all.
[23:24] <whitepowder> rsw: Definitely got some leads -- in Particular this makes me suspect that theres a problem in anna/d-i --- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/installation-guide/+bug/1221356
[23:25] <Sunstream> It is runninf way way faster
[23:25] <Sunstream> I never seen it run this dast
[23:25] <Sunstream> fast
[23:26] <Sunstream> Thank you for the suggestion ai7mt and syndey
[23:28] <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.
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <whitepowder> Actually, give me a long while :( Deleted it since didnt work
[23:31] <whitepowder> Jordan_U: Will -desktop (live) work with preseeding?
[23:32] <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.
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <dfrey> How do I figure out why I'm getting "The system is running in low-graphics mode" message when X starts?
[23:37] <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.
[23:38] <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?
[23:41] <daftykins> testing22: why not wget? :)
[23:41] <Jordan_U> testing22: Please pastebin the exact commands you're running.
[23:41] <testing22> i’ve tried wget as well, same exact result
[23:41] <testing22> only started happening recently too
[23:41] <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
[23:44] <testing22> daftykins Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/private/umgp4wijk8lojbsjoep9hq
[23:49] <testing22> happening on four different servers i’ve tried it on
[23:49] <testing22> i can tar xf it, not zxf
[23:50] <daftykins> testing22: i wonder if it's because you're specifying the file output
[23:50] <testing22> but on my mac, i run the same command and it works correctly, same libs and everything
[23:50] <testing22> zlib, etc
[23:50] <daftykins> mac != Linux
[23:50] <whitepowder> What does file filename say about it?
[23:51] <testing22> right i understand that
[23:51] <zaapiel> xchat or irssi?
[23:52] <k1l> zaapiel: gui or cli?
[23:52] <zaapiel> gui
[23:52] <zaapiel> runnning stock gnome on ubuntu
[23:52] <k1l> zaapiel: so you have the choice of a native gui client or a cli client in a terminal
[23:52] <zaapiel> k1l: yup
[23:52] <testing22> daftykins: the raw output of the curl command is the tarball, none of it is gzip
[23:53] <k1l> just dont run the "xchat-gnome" but the plain xchat
[23:53] <testing22> (without the output file option)
[23:53] <zaapiel> ill stick with irssi
[23:53] <ki7mt> I like irssi ,, very nice and lots of optional scripts
[23:55] <daftykins> testing22: what do you get if you just "wget <path>" and let it download to your ~ ?
[23:55] <zaapiel> ill try hexchat
[23:55] <whitepowder> irssi++
[23:57] <testing22> daftykins: download successful, but “tar zxvf resultingfile.tar.gz” says “gzip: stdin: not in gzip format”
[23:57] <testing22> i’ve NEVER had an issue using wget or curl to download a tar.gz file....
[23:57] <whitepowder> testing22: whats file say about it?
[23:57] <testing22> i do it daily
[23:57] <testing22> whitepowder: test5.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive
[23:57] <testing22> that’s the file i downloaded without any options
[23:58] <daftykins> sooo... it's not gzipped? :)
[23:58] <testing22> it is though, if i download it on my mac or a centos machine, it’s correct
[23:59] <daftykins> define 'correct'
[23:59] <sydney> Sunstream: So,are you enjoying it so far?
[23:59] <daftykins> sydney: general conversation isn't appropriate here
