| daftykins | ki7mt: how come it doesn't mention that out of the box /var/www/html/ is alive and working? | 00:07 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, sri, dont understand what your asking? | 00:08 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: the ubuntu guide page, it delves straight into specifying sites but doesn't mention the default is working out of the box? | 00:08 |
| ki7mt | if you point a browser at http://ip-addy/ it shoudl present a default page that says It's Alive :-) | 00:09 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: right, but the guide doesn't seem to state that that's already available and being served, the new user visiting that doc might think they need to create a new site first | 00:10 |
| ki7mt | For instance, my UBuntu mirror, I didn't enable any sites, simply built the server, and liked a folder /var/www/ubuntu .. if I point to http://ip-addy/ I get the alive message | 00:10 |
| ki7mt | s/linked/liked/ | 00:10 |
| daftykins | yep because it's serving from /var/www/html as default in 14.04 server | 00:11 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, Ahh, ok I see what your saying, I can pass that along to the main writers. | 00:11 |
| daftykins | :) | 00:11 |
| Flam | I just did an update on my server and php5-fpm is returning many errors. For example, I ran "sudo apt-get remove --purge php5-fpm" then "sudo apt-get install php5-fpm" and it is outputting the following line: "update-rc.d: warning: php5-fpm stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none)" | 00:12 |
| Flam | Is anyone else experiencing this / knows how I can fix it? | 00:12 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, Actually, that's exactly the ype of QA those docs needs, as the writers are so entrenched in the contest, it's easy to forget the target audience. | 00:13 |
| ki7mt | .. content .. | 00:13 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: hehe, friends have told me i should do technical writing, before | 00:13 |
| ki7mt | They need help, lots of it for sure. | 00:13 |
| ki7mt | Especially on the three main docs, Server, Desktop and the Yelp-Help apps. | 00:14 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: does it actually break at that point? | 00:14 |
| ki7mt | daftykins, does what break ? | 00:15 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: ugh sorry, my brain is fail tonight, i highlighted you instead of Flam | 00:15 |
| ki7mt | :-) | 00:15 |
| daftykins | Flam: ^ :D | 00:15 |
| Flam | daftykins: I think so: http://puu.sh/9INPq/b541308d91.png | 00:16 |
| Flam | the last line in the image is the last line I get | 00:16 |
| daftykins | Flam: oh, well it looks like it returned to the prompt so it hasn't really failed | 00:16 |
| Flam | but my wordpress blog is erroring out | 00:17 |
| daftykins | Flam: in what way? | 00:17 |
| ki7mt | may be a bug in the init script run level settings | 00:17 |
| ki7mt | That's twice today that we've seen the same error mentioned. | 00:17 |
| daftykins | ki7mt: oh? this runlevel one? | 00:18 |
| ki7mt | yeah, saw it with the guy trying to install openerp also | 00:19 |
| ki7mt | different packages, same result message | 00:20 |
| ki7mt | I guess it's a warning, not so much an error, but still. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | it almost seems like a package for a distro that does use runlevels is being installed on one that doesn't | 00:22 |
| daftykins | but i'm not very experienced with all that side of things | 00:22 |
| Flam | nginx error logs displaying http://puu.sh/9IOfD/c6fb9abea6.png | 00:22 |
| Flam | never encountered this issue in 1yr of uptime lol | 00:23 |
| Flam | I also don't see why there would be a permission issue | 00:23 |
| daftykins | hmm i've not used nginx | 00:23 |
| ki7mt | Flam, yup, someitng definately not right with fpm. was it working before the upgrade? | 00:23 |
| Flam | ki7mt: yes | 00:23 |
| ki7mt | Flam, I'd regress until that's resolved, whatever it is causing it. | 00:24 |
| Flam | I don't know how to do that :/ And I've already made many changes | 00:24 |
| daftykins | but you've got your backup, right? :) | 00:25 |
| ki7mt | Flam, well, lesson one, test things in a dev env first, before adding to a produciton server ;-) | 00:25 |
| Flam | I wish I had that luxury lol | 00:25 |
| daftykins | thanks to virtualisation, we all do </TV advert> | 00:27 |
| ki7mt | Flam, in my old life, that was dev, staging then release :-) .. non of that helps you at the moment I know. | 00:27 |
| Flam | i never expected something as old and stable as php5-fpm to shit itself like this though | 00:27 |
| daftykins | easy on the language please my good man O_. | 00:28 |
| Flam | Sorry | 00:28 |
| ki7mt | Flam, Honestly thoug, only think I can suggest is looking at your dpkg.logs and remove the updates, but your still gonna be left dead in the water until you install the all the older packages. | 00:28 |

| ki7mt | I use / write a bit of php, but not web-based apps, UI based. | 00:31 |
| daftykins | Flam: i did a clean wordpress install the other day on 14.04 and didn't have to touch php5-fpm | 00:31 |
| daftykins | albeit with apache2 | 00:31 |
| Flam | yeah when you use nginx you need php5-fpm | 00:32 |
| kdeder | hey, can anyone recommend a wifi card for a desktop? I guess it should be Intel-based? pci-e, right? | 00:32 |
| zh1 | pci? | 00:32 |
| daftykins | Flam: you could purge reinstall it? | 00:32 |
| Flam | I did | 00:32 |
| Flam | 'Didn't help\ | 00:32 |
| daftykins | oh, you said you removed and installed, didn't see mention of purge | 00:33 |
| daftykins | kdeder: does speed matter? | 00:33 |
| kdeder | daftykins: dunno... well, I want more than 'g' ;) | 00:33 |
| daftykins | i bought a very cheap 'n' the other day, which worked out of the box with ubuntu 14.04 | 00:34 |
| kdeder | at least, N? I have an old router but I hope to replace either when it dies or when I need more speed | 00:34 |
| zh1 | kdeder, just one tip before buying card check for its compatibility and specs | 00:34 |
| kdeder | daftykins: which one? I should find an intel chipset, right? | 00:34 |
| ocoxo | hello MonkeyDust! | 00:35 |
| kdeder | zh1: right... I have the intel linux support list in front of me | 00:35 |
| daftykins | kdeder: you won't get intel wireless in a desktop PCI-Express card | 00:35 |
| daftykins | kdeder: i got this super simple cheap thing to keep the parents happy - TP-Link TL-WN781ND | 00:35 |
| === goeo_ is now known as goeo | ||
| kdeder | daftykins: I think I can... there's a bunch on ebay, for e.g. | 00:35 |
| kdeder | daftykins: isn't that usb? | 00:36 |
| daftykins | kdeder: nope low profile PCI-E 1x | 00:36 |
| daftykins | it's pretty basic but is a well supported Atheros chipset | 00:36 |
| kdeder | daftykins: okay... | 00:36 |
| daftykins | but yeah, pretty basic on the speed front | 00:36 |
| daftykins | you won't be breaking any records | 00:36 |
| kdeder | daftykins: ah :) | 00:37 |
| kdeder | well, do you get full bars? | 00:37 |
| Flam | Ok I solved it. First I purged then reinstalled. Then I updated the config file to use my socket like so: "listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock", then I uncommented the following lines: listen.owner, listen.group, listen.mode, then I reinstalled php5-mysql, then restarted php5-fpm and nginx. | 00:37 |
| Flam | I also made listen.mode 0666 instead of 0660 | 00:37 |
| ki7mt | Dont need too, most nic cards are faster than the saverage service speed anyway | 00:37 |
| ki7mt | .. average .. | 00:37 |
| kdeder | hmmm | 00:37 |
| zh1 | kdeder, give more details on max price and type card need | 00:37 |
| kdeder | so, I don't need intel? I thought it was just a safer bet | 00:37 |
| kdeder | zh1: I can go pci, pci-e... or usb, obviously | 00:38 |
| kdeder | pci-e - I thought it will be stronger signal and speed? | 00:38 |
| daftykins | kdeder: not a good comparison really, my parents system has line-of-sight | 00:38 |
| daftykins | a PCI-E card could have better antennas that you could position further away from the metallic computer case, yeah | 00:39 |
| kdeder | max price - cheaper is better... my desktop is old and I want to buy a mini-itx machine eventually or laptop :) | 00:39 |
| daftykins | and avoiding USB + networking is always a good thing | 00:39 |
| ki7mt | Indeed | 00:39 |
| kdeder | daftykins: yes, that's what I was thinking ;) | 00:39 |
| zh1 | kdeder, is it for desktop or lap? | 00:40 |
| kdeder | intel has some pci-e cards... including a desktop 7260 ac version but it's really expensive | 00:40 |
| ki7mt | kdeder, here's a good place to look: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 00:40 |
| kdeder | zh1: desktop | 00:40 |
| ki7mt | 3Com, belkin, Dlink, all have 3 or more devices supported | 00:41 |
| ki7mt | or device types I should say | 00:41 |
| kdeder | there's no listing for pci-e though? | 00:41 |
| ki7mt | That's a waste of a slot, there's no need for it, thus not many around. | 00:42 |
| ki7mt | Standard PCI is more than enough for a Nic card. | 00:42 |
| kdeder | the listing is outdated, I think :) | 00:43 |
| zh1 | kdeder, what motherboard u have | 00:43 |
| kdeder | zh1: asus p5q | 00:43 |
| ki7mt | It may be a bit dated, last update was AUG-2013 | 00:44 |
| daftykins | kdeder: odd, i'd expect intel to only do the mini-PCI-E wireless cards for laptops | 00:44 |
| kastan | does anyone know how to get netflix to work I keep getting the i need to install silverlight wich i have installed and unistalled several times i also have tried using the firefox override and nada | 00:44 |
| holstein | !netflix | 00:44 |
| ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 00:44 |
| holstein | kastan: they dont officially support linux | 00:45 |
| kdeder | here's the intel list: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034398.htm | 00:45 |
| kastan | ubottu: i tried all of that and kept getting the same error | 00:45 |
| ubottu | kastan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:45 |
| holstein | kastan: thats from me, friend. thats what we have.. if its not working, you could be doing it incorrectly, but, they (netflix) dont support linux, so you can expect breakage | 00:46 |
| ki7mt | Use Piplight .. it works: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html | 00:46 |
| kdeder | is there any way of knowing what order that hardware is? I mean, 7260 is more recent? | 00:47 |
| daftykins | kdeder: intel's website has detailed info on all their devices | 00:48 |
| daftykins | time doesn't directly relate to support though | 00:48 |
| kastan | ill try it again should i remove and reinstall it all again | 00:48 |
| kdeder | I thought more recent cards might be better? | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | kastan: How exactly did you install and uninstall silverlight many times? | 00:49 |
| ki7mt | kdeder, I think you'll find, that on Linux, newest, is not usualy the bestest :-) a year or two old of often better for kenerl support, especially with Nic Drivers | 00:49 |
| holstein | kastan: they dont support if, friend.. so, you can literally try whatever you think is going to work. i know, i would just purge all and start over.. | 00:49 |
| Jordan_U | kastan: How exactly did you install and uninstall silverlight many times? Possible solutions for using Silverlight in Ubuntu include Netflix-Desktop: https://launchpad.net/netflix-desktop and PipeLight: https://launchpad.net/pipelight . | 00:52 |
| kastan | Jordan_U i did sudo apt-get remove --purge pipelight | 00:53 |
| Foxhoundz | Does tasksel install the latest LAMP binaries? | 00:54 |
| ki7mt | Yes, whatever is in the repo it installs, may not be bleeding edge, but not too far from it. | 00:54 |
| kastan | now it says i need to upgrade silverlight | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | kastan: How did you initially install pipelight? | 00:56 |
| holstein | kastan: it may "say" lots of things.. try and use netflix, and if it works, and you can get around messages, do so.. | 00:56 |
| ki7mt | Foxhoundz, use apt-cache search and apt-cache show for the packages, you'll see the version it would install. | 00:56 |
| kastan | it wont let me get around this one | 00:56 |
| kastan | udo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi | 00:56 |
| kastan | sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi | 00:57 |
| holstein | kastan: its muy understanding the netflix desktop tries to do all of this for you.. have you tried it? | 00:57 |
| holstein | my* | 00:57 |
| Foxhoundz | ki7mt: gotcha. So Tasksel is just a wrapper for apt-get right? | 00:58 |
| === markthomas is now known as markthomas_away | ||
| Foxhoundz | it doesn't actually download the binaries from its own source from somewhere, yes? | 00:59 |

| ki7mt | Foxhoundz, Yes, sort of, it's like a meta-package installer for servers. | 00:59 |

| holstein | jay_: you may have an issue where, you had a problematic piece of hardware failing, and are experiencing issues with that | 01:46 |
| holstein | jay_: windows came on the machine though, preinstalled. so, it can be a challenge to expect to just install the os when you havent before.. have you installed windows before? | 01:47 |
| jay_ | I am running from Lubuntu right now. It's a little to slow and picky for my liking though. | 01:47 |
| holstein | !wifi | 01:47 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:47 |
| jay_ | I've installed windows 95, 98, xp and 7 | 01:47 |
| lexus00z | wow. thats quite alot | 01:48 |
| jay_ | i mean in the past lol | 01:48 |
| holstein | jay_: you can try that for your wireless, but, i would just try and wire up to internet.. and open either the update manager, and upgrade, or "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in the terminal.. and reboot.. then, if you have no wifi, we can go from there | 01:48 |
| adamfish | To install wine, these items must be removed: | 01:48 |
| rajareddy | remember these three while installing linux <root , home, swap> that's all ! @ jay | 01:48 |
| holstein | adamfish: if you have a lot of 3rd party sources added, you can run into issues.. | 01:48 |
| adamfish | vidia opencl diver and icd loader library? How to do that? | 01:49 |
| jay_ | i've done with update manager hostien. i have a driver installed (b43) and can connect to my wifi but the browser doesn't work | 01:49 |
| adamfish | Why did it get rid of alot? | 01:49 |
| holstein | adamfish: are you using ubuntu 14.04? | 01:49 |
| adamfish | Yes | 01:49 |
| holstein | jay_: what browser doesnt do what? | 01:49 |
| jay_ | what does swap do rajareddy? | 01:49 |
| adamfish | I just got it. | 01:49 |
| holstein | jay_: i know it can be frustrating,but try and ask questions.. | 01:50 |
| adamfish | No 3rd part or anything | 01:50 |
| holstein | jay_: swap is like the page file in windows, basically | 01:50 |
| jay_ | firefox says i'm not connected to the internet. | 01:50 |
| holstein | jay_: are you? | 01:50 |
| jay_ | i dunno what a page file is sorry | 01:50 |
| omi_ | rajareddy: I can't find the advance setting you mention to me before., I the guest1206 and now log in to another machine | 01:50 |
| holstein | jay_: in windows, the page file is the basic equivalent of the swap partition in linux | 01:50 |
| lexus00z | jay:maybe its your wifi doesnt connected to the internet | 01:50 |
| holstein | jay_: pretty much, if you didnt care to find out what the page file was, then you likely dont need to know what swap is.. | 01:51 |
| rajareddy | swap : double to your RAM size | 01:51 |
| jay_ | yes i'm connected to the internet cause i'm using ethernet. if i were to disconnect ethernet, i could get connected to my wifi but firefox says i have no internet | 01:51 |
| adamfish | I have 32 gigs of ram | 01:51 |
| cabrito | . | 01:51 |
| jay_ | that could be lexus | 01:51 |
| lexus00z | rajareddy.thats quite a good explanation | 01:51 |
| rajareddy | then try ping from terminal !, sometimes slow internet problem! | 01:51 |
| omi_ | so, double size the ram for swap? is it still necessary? | 01:52 |
| holstein | jay_: open a terminal and run "ping google.com" | 01:52 |
| jay_ | do routers often not play well with the ex3 ex4 file systems? | 01:52 |
| adamfish | Where are ehternet drivers located? I need to get rid of my Nvidia | 01:52 |
| rajareddy | router don't differentiate file systems | 01:52 |
| holstein | jay_: no.. your router could care less about your filesystem, and is more likely running linux that anything else | 01:52 |
| adamfish | Well wine is telling me to get rid of my Ethernet ports | 01:53 |
| holstein | adamfish: not likely.. | 01:53 |
| ki7mt | omi_, no, not unless your have some serious comutations apps running. I very rarely ever see swap being used, even with swapeness set to 60 (Ubuntu default) | 01:53 |
| lexus00z | adamfish: you mean nvidia drive? | 01:53 |
| adamfish | Yes | 01:53 |
| adamfish | Wine doesnt like it. | 01:53 |
| omi_ | how to install any software on ubuntu gnome 14.04? | 01:53 |
| holstein | adamfish: maybe something you are running with wine.. but i literaly run "sudo apt-ge install wine" and "wine /path/to/*.exe" and see if it works | 01:53 |
| adamfish | So I cant download it | 01:53 |
| holstein | omi_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware | 01:54 |
| wolfy1339 | how do i run xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server 14.04? i need it for x11vnc | 01:54 |
| adamfish | apt-ge not found? | 01:54 |
| jay_ | ok before i waste y'alls time fixing my wifi, what distrobution would you guys recommend i use on an older pc? i want to be able to watch youtube wiithout it being choppy at 720p. i try on Lubuntu but it is choppy. puppy wasn't choppy but i couldn't get it to install | 01:55 |
| lexus00z | adamfish. its apt-get | 01:55 |
| adamfish | Do I need su? | 01:55 |
| holstein | adamfish: apt-get, friend | 01:55 |
| lexus00z | yes | 01:55 |
| lexus00z | sudo apt-get | 01:55 |
| holstein | adamfish: i have a typo up there, but i had already given you that command before.. | 01:55 |
| holstein | adamfish: sudo apt-get install wine | 01:55 |
| holstein | adamfish: actually, do this. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine" | 01:56 |
| adamfish | Alright | 01:56 |
| lexus00z | why shoulf update every time before install? | 01:56 |
| holstein | wolfy1339: you may just want xfce4.. sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 01:56 |
| wolfy1339 | ok | 01:56 |
| holstein | lexus00z: i didnt say that, but, its a good idea to be accessing current data.. | 01:56 |
| adamfish | Fetching and reading | 01:57 |
| omi_ | holstein: i got error message : E : unable to correct problems, you have held broken package, and I know how to install software on ubuntu with terminal, Ubuntu software center and synaptic, but this is my first time using the ubuntu gnome 14.04, i can't install anything :( | 01:57 |
| lexus00z | holstein:ok then | 01:57 |
| jay_ | ok before i waste y'alls time fixing my wifi, what distrobution would you guys recommend i use on an older pc? i want to be able to watch youtube wiithout it being choppy at 720p. i try on Lubuntu but it is choppy. puppy wasn't choppy but i couldn't get it to install | 01:57 |
| adamfish | Jay try ubuntu studio requires some fixing buts its darn good. | 01:58 |
| holstein | omi_: thats got nothing to do with gnome, though.. if you have broken your system, you can hopefully repair it by running "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal and dealing with errors | 01:58 |
| jay_ | I have a lot of questions and don't want to drive you guys nuts. sorry in advance | 01:58 |
| adamfish | I dual boot 3 OS's | 01:58 |
| Beldar | omi_, we need a pastebin showing that error and the packages | 01:58 |
| jay_ | some fixing? what do yo mean by that? | 01:58 |
| holstein | jay_: i recommend trying the live versions of the ubuntu derivitives.. "flavours" | 01:58 |
| adamfish | Well I have to fix APT's | 01:58 |
| holstein | !flavors | 01:58 |
| ubottu | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 01:58 |
| lexus00z | jay: its ok | 01:58 |
| adamfish | IT wont find the file correctly | 01:58 |
| holstein | jay_: they are *all* ubuntu, though.. all have the same sources.. just different default configurations | 01:59 |
| adamfish | But its a 2 minute fix | 01:59 |
| adamfish | Sound works | 01:59 |
| jay_ | so what is recommended for my old pc? | 01:59 |
| holstein | jay_: i say, choose one, and try and stick it out.. remember how you worked with windows "as-is" for a long time, and had no other options but just to learn to use it | 01:59 |
| adamfish | Ubuntu Studio | 01:59 |
| Beldar | omi_,Run the apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade and pastebin all of the stuff in the terminal. | 01:59 |
| holstein | jay_: lubuntu is fine.. or xubuntu | 01:59 |
| omi_ | holstein: I did it actually, after I change to local repositories, I try to install some software, but it wont work.., Beldarok | 02:00 |
| holstein | i actually disagree on ubuntustudio. though i use it | 02:00 |
| omi_ | Beldar: ok., try it now | 02:00 |
| mygood | wait | 02:00 |
| holstein | omi_: if you have broken your sources, you'll have to fix that | 02:00 |

| holstein | jay_: just remember how long you have been using windows. and how long you use it before adding wifi into the mix.. or customizing anything about the UI. | 02:03 |
| lexus00z | what about using on cellphome | 02:03 |

| holstein | jay_: try and give yourself time and be patient.. and plan for failure.. use live CD's to experiment... | 02:03 |

| MouseTheLuckyDog | Is there a GUI runlevel editor? | 02:03 |
| triplc | how to uninstall Firefox? I run apt-get... to remove it, but apt-get requires me to INSTALL epiphany, which I don't need. I just download Firefox ESR and want to use it instead of Firefox | 02:03 |
| * triplc using 12.04 | 02:04 | |
| holstein | triplc: you may prefer a GUI package manager like synaptic.. you can try "sudo apt-get autoremove firefox" | 02:04 |
| Beldar | lexus00z, Help directly or ask for support on a issue, don't just randomly comment and use nick when you do. | 02:05 |
| omi_ | now running the dist-upgrade.., it seems like it downloading some thing Beldar | 02:05 |
| triplc | holstein: I use apt-get... the problem is that there is some package that require firefox | 02:05 |
| jay_ | holstein, I've been two days patient. Windows just does everything for you. Drivers? don't worry about it. ut Clocks? I can set them. lol Windows is easy for anyone. Even people who've never used PC's I'd wager. I do want to learn to use linux though b | 02:05 |

| js_doode | jay_: distrowatch | 02:06 |
| adamfish | I am stuck at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7698152/ | 02:06 |
| holstein | jay_: if you want linux to "do everything for you" then, do the same as you do with windows.. buy a machine with ubuntu on it | 02:06 |
| Beldar | sorry bad grammar, lol omi_ | 02:07 |
| adamfish | Help I cant fix the error | 02:07 |
| jay_ | omi_, i haven't tried that one | 02:07 |
| jay_ | do any older distro's just 'work' out of the box? | 02:07 |
| omi_ | Beldar: I can' reconnect to the irc channel using the "broken machine" :) | 02:07 |
| adamfish | Jay: Linux Mint | 02:07 |
| holstein | jay_: its not fail to purchas a machine that comes with windows, and expect ubuntu to "just work".. its quite nice when things do, and actually, i find linux does have more "out of the box" support for hardware than windows.. | 02:07 |
| js_doode | jay_: debian based lubuntu, xubuntu | 02:07 |
| jay_ | I can't afford a new machine cause my town is bad for jobs right now :( | 02:08 |
| omi_ | how old your machine anyway jay_ | 02:08 |
| holstein | jay_: its not about the distro working.. its about it being compatible with your hardware | 02:08 |
| adamfish | Going back to windows 7.. | 02:08 |
| jay_ | i tried linux mint adamfish. it was sloooow | 02:08 |
| Beldar | adamfish, try windows 8. ;) | 02:08 |
| miggym | holstein: very true! linux autoinstalled my drivers, whereas windows left me without internet access was stuck at a crappy resolution til i installed drivers | 02:08 |

| allenrm | hey all, i'm looking for something like MS OneNote, that will allow me to keep notes, and clips from websites etc. for linux, any suggestions of something that might work well? | 02:11 |
| jay_ | that sounds good. maybe crunchbag is worth a shot guys | 02:11 |
| miggym | jay_: you might not like openbox though | 02:11 |
| Beldar | adamfish, Err, it is the user has problems, you are not even familiar with linux. | 02:11 |
| holstein | jay_: crunchband.. and its not supported here.. thats the other appeal for lubuntu or an offical ubuntu flavor.. arguably the largest desktop based community user-ship | 02:12 |
| holstein | crunchbang* | 02:12 |
| js_doode | adamfish: good luck to you and don't give up. Windows is great but if you want to get your hands dirty then linux is the place. Peace. | 02:12 |
| adamfish | Beldar: I need some help as you said, this is my first time. | 02:12 |
| Beldar | adamfish, than don't externalize the blame and get to learning using critical thinking. | 02:13 |
| jay_ | what do you suggest then holstein? Lubuntu won't play 720 youtube :( will crunchband? | 02:13 |
| holstein | jay_: you will have issues with youtube on any linux distroo | 02:13 |
| jay_ | i basically, download torrents, go on youtube, and reddit | 02:13 |
| holstein | jay_: i say, choose one, based on look and feel and hardware support.. then, deal with things like youtube | 02:14 |
| jay_ | that's all i need the distro to do. simple stuff | 02:14 |
| holstein | jay_: they will *all* do that | 02:14 |
| miggym | jay_: use chromium and get the pepper plugin for flash | 02:14 |
| jay_ | then i should pick the bare minimum like dsl? | 02:14 |
| jay_ | since it will do that? | 02:14 |
| jay_ | flash on Lubuntu makes my processor run at 100 percent with 480p video lol | 02:15 |
| jay_ | ok, well 70's to 100% in that range | 02:15 |
| holstein | jay_: sure.. and adobe is welcome to address that, but they dont | 02:15 |
| miggym | jay_: i think that's more of a problem with flash than it is a problem with lubuntu. have you tried setting youtube to use html5? | 02:15 |
| jay_ | I dunno how miggym I'd like to learn tho! | 02:16 |
| holstein | jay_: you can go here https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and see factually the older version of flash you have.. i use either the html5 option, or the chrome flash in chrome browser or chromium | 02:16 |
| holstein | or, i avoid flash.. | 02:16 |

| jay_ | I'm testing out the html5 right now | 02:17 |
| jay_ | brb | 02:17 |
| holstein | jay_: you would have the same issue on an older version of windows, or osx, where adobe has dropped suuport | 02:18 |
| jay_ | holstein, html5 didn't work well. i appreciate the suggestions but it was choppy even at 360p! and no videos i went to had the option of 720? weird.. | 02:20 |
| holstein | jay_: sure. so, you can try the *actual* current flash version provided by adobe for linux in chrome or chromium | 02:20 |
| jay_ | when you say chrome flash, do you mean the flash from the Lubuntu software manager? | 02:21 |
| holstein | jay_: be sure you lte adobe know you would like more "native" access to the product they create | 02:21 |
| holstein | jay_: i mean, factually, you can visit https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and see what you are running | 02:21 |
| jay_ | how can you blame adobe? it runs perfectly on puppy linux | 02:21 |
| holstein | jay_: im not trying to "blame" anyone.. its their product.. and up to them to provide support, and they have stopped | 02:22 |
| ShadowKnight | sorry to bother but hmm...can anyone actually see me? i seem to be having some issues | 02:22 |
| jay_ | but like i said, it runs well on another linux distro | 02:22 |
| holstein | jay_: adobe provides security updates for 11.2 only.. i use 14 with chrome and you can as well if you find that helpful | 02:22 |
| holstein | jay_: sure.. it runs well here in lubuntu | 02:22 |
| holstein | jay_: we can configure it to work well.. are you interested? | 02:23 |
| holstein | ShadowKnight: i see you | 02:23 |
| jay_ | holstein, do you get flash from the Software Center or from the Adobe website? | 02:23 |
| holstein | jay_: neither | 02:23 |
| holstein | jay_: i use the only factual current version for linux | 02:23 |
| jay_ | i don't understand | 02:23 |
| jay_ | factual current version? | 02:24 |
| holstein | jay_: i get it from the sources i keep linking.. they are for chrome only and chromium | 02:24 |
| holstein | jay_: correct.. adobe doesnt provide flash for linux anymore.. but, chrome gets their own from google | 02:24 |
| jay_ | what's a factual current version? | 02:24 |
| jay_ | so google made a flash player for chrome? | 02:24 |
| holstein | jay_: im saying, its a fact.. its not my opinion.. | 02:24 |
| ShadowKnight | holstein: thanks | 02:25 |
| jay_ | in linux i mean | 02:25 |
| holstein | jay_: its factually the only current version there is.. | 02:25 |
| holstein | jay_: if you open a terminal, and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser && sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree" you should, if i didnt typo, have working flash in the chromium browser. which you can see what version you are using here.. https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 02:26 |
| jay_ | how did you get the flash player? did it just come with chrome in the package? | 02:26 |
| holstein | jay_: it is included in the chrome browser. and you can use it with the package i refercence a few times above.. "pepperflashplugin-nonfree"... you can use it that way with the chromium browser | 02:27 |
| jay_ | jesus, how do you know what all that means holstein? where do you even do to learn all those command terminal things? | 02:27 |
| Quoexl | practice my young padawan | 02:27 |
| holstein | jay_: you dont have to learn the commands.. there are other ways.. but, this is from necessity.. adobe is welcome to provide you an easier way.. a package like they make for windows, for example | 02:28 |

| kdeder | I haven't looked at Lubuntu for a while but Xubuntu looked good | 02:32 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: follow this: http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr | 02:32 |
| ShadowKnight | its really helpful | 02:32 |
| Quoexl | jay_: open terminal and type lsb_release -a | 02:32 |
| jay_ | I'm not trying to be negetive, just real here. I'm just saying. All ten of those things you wouldn't have to waste your time doing in windows. It's automatic. Why isn't Linux there? | 02:34 |
| jay_ | It's just mind blowing how technical you have to be to use linux on an older pc | 02:34 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: your very right, but many Linux users want to have as light as possible an OS then customize it | 02:35 |
| jay_ | I want a light OS and to leave it there | 02:35 |
| jay_ | I just download movie and tv shows, surf the web and that's about it really | 02:35 |
| jay_ | I don't need fancy crap | 02:35 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: but i agree with you, there should be a version that comes with everything you need out of the box and so you dont have to fiddle and get all technical | 02:35 |
| jay_ | this should be simple | 02:35 |
| Quoexl | you want a light windowed os, install fluxbox and xdm | 02:36 |
| jay_ | will i still be able to talk to the nice people in here from fluxbox? | 02:36 |
| Quoexl | you'll need to install an irc client | 02:37 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: sure just use CIRC on chrome | 02:37 |
| jay_ | oh cool | 02:37 |
| ShadowKnight | {cough} puppy linux {cough} | 02:37 |
| Quoexl | fluxbox is about as basic as it gets | 02:37 |
| jay_ | i tried puppy linux and liked it | 02:37 |
| jay_ | it wouldn't install to my hdd though | 02:37 |
| jimbohertz | test | 02:37 |
| somsip | jay_: basically, install the minimal ubuntu, then put whatever desktop you want on top. openbox/fluxbox are very popular for light usage | 02:37 |
| Quoexl | you could install DSL but thats fairly useless | 02:37 |
| holstein | use puppy then.. you dont install it. thats the catch.. its not like that. its not a full distro | 02:37 |
| ShadowKnight | its pretty good on older mechines, on new ones its...ewww | 02:37 |
| jay_ | it kept saying it couldn't find my kernal? | 02:37 |
| Quoexl | its kernel and what was the actual error statement? | 02:38 |
| holstein | i say, puppy is nice, bit not a good beginners setup.. and its a bit "frozen" in the past with updates.. some important ones.. | 02:38 |
| jay_ | fluxbox is a ubuntu install somsip? | 02:38 |
| somsip | !info fluxbox | jay_ | 02:38 |
| ubottu | jay_: fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.5-2 (trusty), package size 706 kB, installed size 3481 kB | 02:38 |
| Quoexl | sudo apt-get install fluxbox xdm | 02:38 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: Try Linux Mint, its similar to windows and less finicky than ubuntu | 02:38 |
| holstein | i dont suggest fluxbox for a new user either.. i think lxde is as light as i get.. | 02:38 |
| somsip | !minimal | jay_ | 02:39 |
| ubottu | jay_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:39 |
| Quoexl | I usually send new users to kde | 02:39 |
| jay_ | what was that? !info thing? | 02:39 |
| holstein | i do not agree that mint is "less finiky". and not that because its not supported here.. | 02:39 |
| holstein | ^kde has a nice windows-y feel.. but, it might be too heavy on your hardware | 02:39 |
| somsip | jay_: so when you install minimal, you only get the bare minimum packages and no bloat. Then you install fluxbox (or lxdm, or whatever) on top and you have a minimal, working, graphical front-end on a bloat-free install | 02:40 |
| ShadowKnight | holstein: is was for me, i only use ubuntu cause i was fed up with windows and wanted a second OS, than windows killed itself so im stuck | 02:40 |
| somsip | !brain | jay_ (regarding the !info thing) | 02:40 |
| ubottu | jay_ (regarding the !info thing): Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me: /msg ubottu botclone | 02:40 |
| ShadowKnight | you gotta be carefull bout installing front-ends like KDE though cuz getting rid of them if you dont like em seems to require ripping apart your entire OS and its still never the same | 02:41 |
| jay_ | ohhh neat. a program and gives out info to people so you don't have to retype things a million type | 02:41 |
| omi_ | Beldar: holstein thanks for the help.., the dist-upgrade command solved the problem, now I can install things here.., | 02:42 |
| holstein | ^ thats why i suggest trying the live CD's.. try kubuntu live... experiement live, and dont change your system | 02:42 |
| jay_ | holstein, you seem to be a big ubuntu fan. do you think i should go to fluxbox? why are you so big on ubuntu for an old pc | 02:42 |
| ShadowKnight | maybe im wrong but isnt fluxbox a front-end for ubuntu? or an ubuntu varient? | 02:43 |
| jay_ | holstein, what program do you use for "live cd's" on a USB stick? | 02:43 |
| holstein | jay_: as i said, for a new user, i personally think fluxbox is not ideal.. i think lxde is as light as i would suggest.. but, it really depends, and you should check them out and decide for yourself | 02:43 |
| somsip | ShadowKnight: fluxbox is a windown manager | 02:43 |
| ShadowKnight | somsip: ooops, my mistake | 02:43 |
| jay_ | oh. i thought fluxbox was a distrobution | 02:44 |
| ShadowKnight | nope | 02:44 |
| holstein | lxde can be using openbox, which is similarly light | 02:44 |
| Quoexl | no fluxbox is a front end for the xserver | 02:44 |
| jay_ | and openbox is a distro of ubuntu? | 02:44 |
| holstein | if you are on a machine, and not happy with lxde, you are likely not going to find anything that really runs much "faster".. | 02:44 |
| somsip | jay_: no, which is why I suggest the minimal install for using WMs that are not an official flavour (like kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu) | 02:44 |
| Foxhoundz | I installed php5-mcrypt | 02:44 |
| Foxhoundz | but for some reason it's not being loaded | 02:44 |
| somsip | Foxhoundz: you need to add the symlink manually | 02:44 |
| Foxhoundz | somsip: where is the mcrypt library located in Ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| ShadowKnight | y'all need to remember jay_ probably doesnt know what xserver, window managers, front-ends, etc. are | 02:45 |
| Quoexl | Foxhoundz: check php.ini to see if its turned on | 02:45 |
| holstein | jay_: and, im not disagreeing with somsip .. that *is* a great way to get exactly what you want, and only what you want.. its just that you dont know what that is yet... | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | Quoexl: I checked and it's not. It's commented out | 02:45 |
| somsip | Foxhoundz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450825/ubuntu-14-04-phpmyadmin-cant-find-mcrypt-extension | 02:45 |
| jay_ | your right ShadowKnight | 02:45 |
| jay_ | i don't know what those things are | 02:45 |
| Quoexl | Foxhoundz: well if its not turned on, even if its installed, will it work? | 02:45 |
| holstein | jay_: but, you can see many of them in live CD's.. and get away with instaling and trying them in live CD's | 02:46 |
| somsip | Foxhoundz: if this is 14.04, see the above. You don't add them in php.ini anymore. You use /etc/php5/conf.d | 02:46 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: same thing happened when i first went to linux, i asked for help and got swamped with tech-talk | 02:46 |
| ShadowKnight | holstein: did you explain what a live CD is? | 02:46 |
| Quoexl | well crud,. yeah listen to him, I | 02:46 |
| Quoexl | m stuck in the stone age | 02:46 |
| holstein | ShadowKnight: feel free... | 02:46 |
| Foxhoundz | somsip: there is no directory called conf.d under /etc/php5 | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | i'm on 14.04 | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | aha | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | I found it | 02:48 |
| Foxhoundz | it was under /usr/lib | 02:51 |
| somsip | jay_: ubuntu is the OS and the packaging system. By default, the desktop version uses Unity as the window manager. You can also install other flavours of ubuntu that come with different window managers. Like lubuntu uses lxde, kubuntu uses kde. | 02:51 |
| holstein | !flavors > jay_ | 02:51 |
| somsip | Foxhoundz: you shouldn't need the path if you follow that link I gave you | 02:51 |
| ubottu | jay_, please see my private message | 02:51 |
| jay_ | lxde kde and gnome are all just window managers? | 02:51 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: window managers are the background programs that detemine how the desktop, windows, etc, work | 02:51 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: yes | 02:51 |
| somsip | jay_: essentially, though because they do a bit more they are also referred to as Desktop Environments (DEs) | 02:51 |
| villandra | I'm installing Kubuntu, and I missed one detail when I took notes on how to set up the partitions. I'm planning to install more Linux OS's on the disk. Does the boot loader go in the boot partition or in /dev/sda? | 02:51 |
| somsip | jay_: so Gnome is very much a DE, wheres fluxbox just manages windows so it's just a WM | 02:51 |
| jay_ | What's the difference between and Windows Manager and a Desktop Environment? | 02:51 |
| Quoexl | windows managers load desktop environments | 02:51 |
| jay_ | How do I check a private message? | 02:51 |
| somsip | jay_: http://is.gd/CGnro6 | 02:51 |
| Quoexl | left side red letters | 02:51 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: there is litle difference you will notice, beyond the fact that DEs make more changes | 02:52 |
| villandra | I need to know where to install the boot loader - in /dev/sda or in the boot partition. | 02:53 |
| Quoexl | boot | 02:53 |
| ShadowKnight | villandra: i believe its boot | 02:53 |
| villandra | Even if I'm going to install more Linux OSs? | 02:53 |
| Quoexl | they will feed off the original grub install | 02:53 |
| villandra | Will each Linux OS get its own boot partition or do I only make one boot partition for all the OS's? | 02:53 |
| ShadowKnight | one for all | 02:54 |
| villandra | So only one boot partition for all the OS's? | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: Install the boot loader - grub - to 'sda' IF you only have the 1 HD installed in the box. | 02:54 |
| villandra | So don't put the boot loader in /boot. | 02:54 |
| Beldar | omi_, Good, fixed, enjoy. | 02:54 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: got a handle on it now? | 02:56 |
| jay_ | not really ShadowKnight lol | 02:56 |
| ShadowKnight | jay_: lol, PM me with any more questions, ill help as best i can | 02:57 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: While one may have a seperate /boot partition, that practice is discouraged. Generally a very needless complication and a source of trouble for those unaware. | 02:57 |
| jay_ | can someone explain exacly what I und what's needed for a linux OS install? I mean be brief. Here's my understanding. Turn on PC. After the BOIS checks hardware, you need a bootable CD or USB stick with an OS on it. then what? | 02:58 |
| ShadowKnight | hay_: ill PM you with the answer | 02:58 |
| jay_ | ok thanks | 02:58 |
| Quoexl | jay_: if not him I'll help | 02:58 |
| villandra | So I remove the /boot partition and just put the boot loader in /dev/sda? Because that seems to be what the Ubuntu install manual is saying to do. | 02:58 |
| Quoexl | do NOT remove the /boot | 02:59 |
| Quoexl | go through the install and at the end it will ask you if you want to install to the master boot record, say YES | 02:59 |
| villandra | Leave the /boot, even though its only function is to caluse trouble, but put the boot loader in /dev/sda? I am planning to install more Linux OS's. Ubuntu install manual says if installing multiple Linux OS's they will boot off the boot laoder. | 03:00 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: ^^, if you have already committed with a /boot partition .. Go ahead. Learning to deal with it is a learning curve. | 03:00 |
| Quoexl | it will detect grub and add the new linux partition to it | 03:00 |
| villandra | I'm doing manual preparing partitions, since I'm going to install more OS's on this hard drive. It wants to know on what device I want to put the boot loader installation. | 03:00 |
| villandra | Nothing else is installed on this hard drive so far. | 03:01 |
| Quoexl | master boot record | 03:01 |
| Quoexl | or /dev/sda1 | 03:01 |
| villandra | It isn't committed yet. I can still undo the boot partition. | 03:01 |
| Quoexl | I set 1 partition for / 1 partition for /home and one for swap | 03:02 |
| villandra | Is the mbr on /dev/sda or on /dev/sda1? | 03:02 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: Are you installing using the standard install wizard to do the partitioning ? OR have you previosly set up partitions to install onto ? | 03:02 |
| Quoexl | ,,, /dev/sda/ | 03:02 |
| villandra | I'm starting fresh with a new hard drive. I'm installing kubuntu, and setting up partitions manually since I'm going to install more Linux OS's and don't want it to use the whole hard drive. | 03:02 |
| villandra | I'm in the middle of preparing partitions. So if the /boot partition doesn't belong I can undo it. | 03:03 |
| Quoexl | use manual partition and make your sizes smaller than the whole drive | 03:03 |
| Quoexl | you dont need a /boot partition | 03:03 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: MBR is the 1st sector on the hard drive NOT related to any partition - it is the 1st 512 bytes on the disk. | 03:03 |
| villandra | OOOKay. Oh, OK. I don't need any /boot partitions, undo it, start over, boot loader will go in /dev/sda. | 03:04 |
| villandra | OK. I know that's true in Windows. I thought Linux doesn't use MBR, uses GRUB. | 03:04 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: Correct ! no /boot, install grub to 'sda' .. and all will go fine. | 03:04 |
| villandra | And I'm not actually sure if the boot loader is in the boot sector or in the operating system. | 03:05 |
| Quoexl | if you load grub in the mbr its same same | 03:05 |
| villandra | Alright. Think I've got it. Tahnks! | 03:05 |
| villandra | quit | 03:05 |
| Quoexl | we'll be here | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | villandra: MBR = Master Boot Record. Which is the location of the 1st stage of the booting code, the location where bios hands of to. | 03:06 |
| Quoexl | he's gone | 03:06 |
| Bashing-om | too late .. hasty huh ? | 03:06 |
| Quoexl | swing....and a miss | 03:06 |
| Bashing-om | Quoexl: I bet we see that worthy self again, soon !. | 03:07 |

| sydney | IdleOne: Thank you. :D | 03:10 |
| xpistos | can someone help me figure out what might be wrong and if I can save it? | 03:10 |
| Gallomimia | whats so bad about the drive | 03:10 |
| xpistos | Gallomimia: when I boot the computer it said the drive had serious issues | 03:11 |
| Quoexl | I found myself needing to be a sysadmin in april 2006, I hadnt seen linux in feb of 2006, I passed and got the job | 03:11 |
| xpistos | and it did not show the drive as mounted. | 03:11 |
| Gallomimia | can you read the files? | 03:11 |
| xpistos | no | 03:11 |
| Quoexl | epic fail | 03:11 |
| Gallomimia | sounds worthy of investigating further | 03:11 |
| entreri | hello, where can I find the wallpapers included in Ubuntu ? | 03:11 |
| Quoexl | fsck sounds like its on the menu | 03:11 |
| sydney | !details| xpistos | 03:12 |
| ubottu | xpistos: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 03:12 |
| Gallomimia | you're running an operating system right | 03:12 |
| xpistos | yes | 03:12 |
| Gallomimia | perhaps that operating system has tools to repair disks. you could run a smart test or fsck on it | 03:12 |
| Quoexl | what is the operating system, the system that you are operating? | 03:12 |
| xpistos | I am running badblocks -v now to see what it tells me | 03:12 |
| sydney | entreri: Look it up online? I dont know if there is an official spot to find them. :-/ | 03:12 |
| xpistos | so far nothing | 03:12 |
| Quoexl | chuck the HD in the bin and get another | 03:13 |
| Gallomimia | he wants data from it obviously | 03:13 |
| xpistos | Mainly family movies and pictures | 03:13 |
| Gallomimia | but yes, expect to need a replacement hard drive | 03:13 |
| entreri | sydney: they should be somewhere under / | 03:13 |
| Gallomimia | preferably before you manage to recover the drive to readable state. you know... some place to put the data once recovered? | 03:13 |
| xpistos | I have one I can transfer to | 03:13 |
| Gallomimia | excellent | 03:13 |
| sydney | entreri: Ahh,you mean that way. :D | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | in future, refer to this as your "back up drive" | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | important files shall be "backed up" to it. | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | instead of leaving it empty | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | :D | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | now, read about fsck that's a good way to fix a drive that's messed up | 03:14 |
| xpistos | should I stop the badblocks from running? | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | then run SMART tests on it and see if anything is messed up | 03:15 |
| Quoexl | I would suggest putting a new drive in, do a fresh install, install and run photorec and hope for the best | 03:15 |
| xpistos | the drive that is the problem does not have the os on it | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | i guess. i don't know what that is, but i think it merely searches for bad blocks, and marks them as unusable | 03:15 |
| xpistos | it is a storage drive. | 03:15 |
| xpistos | the box is up and running fine | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | does nothing for recovering files | 03:16 |
| Quoexl | ok install photorec and run it on the data drive | 03:16 |
| Gallomimia | anyone else know what "badblocks" does? | 03:16 |
| xpistos | I was told that it looks for errors | 03:16 |
| Quoexl | !info badblocks | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Package badblocks does not exist in trusty | 03:16 |
| xpistos | this is a ways back though | 03:16 |
| sydney | entreri: /usr/share/backgrounds | 03:16 |
| Gallomimia | before we recommend running all this io intensive stuff on it, i think discovering whats wrong with the drive is better | 03:16 |
| Quoexl | !badblocks | 03:16 |
| Gallomimia | i think smart tests is best | 03:17 |
| Gallomimia | to start | 03:17 |
| Gallomimia | why is the drive hooped? | 03:17 |
| Gallomimia | did you turn it off while writing to it? | 03:17 |
| eduorloff | hi | 03:17 |
| Quoexl | honestly I would remove the drive, put it in a ziploc bag and toss it in the freezer for an hour, then take 1 swing at retrieval | 03:17 |
| entreri | sydney: thank you! I tried with 'find' and there are too many results : P | 03:17 |
| xpistos | no. it showed the folders were read only and so I rebooted the system to see what was wrong | 03:17 |
| Quoexl | then add |more to the end of your find | 03:17 |
| xpistos | and if it would correct it. | 03:17 |
| Gallomimia | we don't even know that's why it failed quoexl | 03:18 |
| sydney | entreri: No problem :D | 03:18 |
| Quoexl | no prob | 03:18 |
| Quoexl | ls | 03:18 |
| Gallomimia | do smart tests in the disks program | 03:18 |
| xpistos | run smart tests. What can I look for on how to do that | 03:18 |
| Gallomimia | you're running ubuntu right? | 03:19 |
| xpistos | yes | 03:19 |
| Gallomimia | run the program called disks | 03:19 |
| Gallomimia | its graphical | 03:19 |

| xpistos_tower | Gallomimia: do I run a selftest | 03:24 |
| Gaming4JC | So I have a complex and stupid error I made. (dd'ing to the wrong drive by the infamous disk destroyer) - instead of making a live usb I blasted away my Windows 7 NTS partition! TestDisk can't recover it. However it only overwrote 436MB of the 150GB partition. Is there anyway to recover the data? I can see most of it is still there even though nothing can "see" the partition table | 03:24 |
| holstein | xpistos_tower: you should be able to do a test there.. smart test | 03:24 |
| Quoexl | sudo lsb_release -a | 03:24 |
| holstein | xpistos_tower: i run the longest test there.. this is not a "fix" .. its a way for you to test the drive | 03:24 |

| luckybunny | hmmm. Unity/Compiz issue... Every time I open a new window, it appears with its title bar obscured by the unity panel, i.e pops up underneath the panel. Is there a way to prevent that so all new windows will open clear of the panel? | 03:25 |

| Quoexl | it means its still under warranty I bet | 03:25 |
| Gaming4JC | or perhaps two people are having HDD problems tonight :s | 03:26 |
| ShadowKnight | Gaming4JC: nope its still up: https://www.piriform.com/recuva | 03:26 |
| luckybunny | just rather difficult to minimise/maximise/close when you have a panel covering the buttons to do so | 03:26 |
| xpistos_tower | 50% done | 03:27 |
| ShadowKnight | luckybunny: you could always assign keyboard shortcuts (its not the best fix but it might work) | 03:27 |
| xpistos_tower | 80% | 03:27 |

| holstein | luckybunny: you can try resetting your unity to default.. is this behavior present in the guest session? | 03:28 |
| Gaming4JC | My problem is primarily that dd installed a CD into my Windows 7 partition :P | fdisk says: Partition 1: overlaps partition 2. | 03:28 |
| Gaming4JC | surely fixable though | 03:28 |
| luckybunny | I have no clue | 03:28 |

| xpistos_tower | Gallomimia: I think it is finishing up the short self test | 03:29 |
| xpistos_tower | 10% remaining | 03:29 |
| holstein | xpistos_tower: no need for that.. | 03:29 |
| luckybunny | it's ok.. I'm in a bit of a hurry to get to sleep, as it's half 4 in the morning. Was hoping for a quick settings change. Don't feel like logging out and back | 03:29 |
| luckybunny | also alt+f4 will cover me for closing | 03:30 |

| xpistos_tower | I ran dmesg | tail about 10 minutes ago and got the following: http://pastebin.com/Ai6G970T | 03:32 |
| holstein | luckybunny: if you find the desktop works as expected in the guest session, you can use http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html to reset your users config | 03:32 |
| ShadowKnight | Quoexl: not sure how, but i aint gonna mess, it works...for now | 03:32 |
| Gaming4JC | Better stated for my question: Is anyone familiar with using sfdisk without a partition table backup? :) | 03:32 |
| xpistos_tower | holstein: should I run the extended when the short test is done? I would have thought it would finish by now. It has been on 10% remaining for a while. | 03:33 |
| ShadowKnight | xpistos_tower: that is a sign of drive error/fault | 03:34 |
| holstein | xpistos_tower: depends.. this is not a fix.. its a way you can learn about your hardware and what state it is in | 03:34 |
| holstein | i agree, i would expect it to hang if it were failing.. | 03:34 |
| xpistos_tower | At this point, if I could get it to read-only I would be happy | 03:35 |
| ShadowKnight | is it an SDD" | 03:35 |
| ShadowKnight | ? | 03:35 |
| xpistos_tower | no it is a hdd | 03:35 |
| xpistos_tower | western digital 2tb green drive I think | 03:35 |
| xpistos_tower | wd20ears | 03:35 |
| holstein | xpistos_tower: you can have a limited amount of time with it.. you might consider planning your steps wisely | 03:35 |

| Gaming4JC | Ben64: cool. My problem was, I dd'ed away 460MB of my Windows 7 partition. TestDisk can't see my NTFS partition anymore. I know the files are still there since I can find them with grep and cat | 03:49 |
| Gaming4JC | Ben64: I'd like to try fixing the partition. ntfsfix couldn't handle it due too "Mounting volume... NTFS signature is missing." | 03:49 |
| Gaming4JC | :/ | 03:49 |
| Ben64 | Gaming4JC: probably a better question for ##windows actually | 03:49 |
| Gaming4JC | ok | 03:49 |
| ShadowKnight | andrew-ubuntu: try system settings/displays | 03:50 |
| andrew-ubuntu | ShadowKnight: The changes in system settings only take affect after login. I would like the monitor to be turned off sooner than that. I tried turning it off via rc.local, but it didn't seem to work. | 03:51 |
| ShadowKnight | andrew-ubuntu: sorry, thats a question to direct to someone wiser than I | 03:52 |
| xpistos | is it good or bad that the partition is an ext4 | 03:52 |

| xpistos | Ben64: I have 1.7 GB available on a seperate usb hdd | 03:58 |
| oliver__ | I used the sudo command, and then it was working after I quit the terminal, but not after a reboot. | 03:58 |
| xpistos | Do we think this will do? | 03:58 |
| Ben64 | oliver__: why sudo? | 03:59 |
| oliver__ | I used the sudo command, and then the settings where saved after I quit the terminal, but not after a reboot. | 03:59 |
| xpistos | If I do the ddrescue does that actually copy my data? | 04:00 |
| oliver__ | If i didn't use the sudo command, the settings went back to default right after I quit the terminal. | 04:00 |
| Ben64 | oliver__: what is the actual command you're using | 04:01 |
| zelbinian | K... so... I updated from 13.10 to 14.04... and that did not go so well. Went to restart, and it hung and shutdown so I did a hard reset. Now it hangs on startup. | 04:01 |
| oliver__ | "xset m 1/2 4" | 04:01 |
| Ben64 | oliver__: yeah you should be setting that through the mouse settings applet in the system settings | 04:02 |
| oliver__ | Yeah, I know, but its not there. Thats why I went looking for a workaround. | 04:02 |
| oliver__ | so after I set the command, how do I save it so it becomes default from now on? | 04:04 |
| xpistos | Ben64: when i tried to do a mount -a earlier it would not mount the drive in question | 04:04 |
| xpistos | Ben64: will that matter with the ddrescue? | 04:04 |
| xpistos | Ben64: and is ddrescue a cd or a program on the system? | 04:05 |
| xpistos | Ben64: I was able to find a gddrescue which I am assuming is the same program | 04:05 |

| xpistos | holstein: Should I be okay with 1.7 tb to try the ddrescue | 04:08 |
| holstein | xpistos: i would make sure, the next time you power that drive up, you can image it | 04:09 |
| xpistos | holstein: What do you mean image it? | 04:09 |
| holstein | xpistos: make the copy you are talking about, that you want to work from | 04:10 |
| xpistos | if I image it is it like makeing an iso? | 04:10 |
| xpistos | or is it actually the file system | 04:10 |
| xpistos | so I can access the data | 04:10 |
| xpistos | from the new drive | 04:10 |
| holstein | xpistos: you can try and recover the data from the copy* | 04:11 |
| xpistos | so ddrescue is like a back up utility more or less | 04:11 |
| holstein | xpistos: its what has been suggested for you to make the copy | 04:12 |
| xpistos | holstein: ok so I will power up the tower and put the usb drive in mount it and then I can start the ddrescue | 04:12 |
| xpistos | holstein: now I just have to find the info on using ddrescue. or gddrescue I guess it is | 04:13 |
| holstein | xpistos: i say again, i would consider it time sensitive.. | 04:13 |
| xpistos | I speak greek natively so I am not understanding what you mean. Are you saying that I should do the ddrescue as soon as possible | 04:15 |
| holstein | xpistos: no.. im saying, specificallly.. when you power that drive up, be ready to image.. | 04:15 |
| xpistos | ok | 04:16 |

| rsw | stuff that typically runs in the background / notification area | 04:37 |
| loa | oliver__, add your command there | 04:38 |
| rsw | well oliver__ i'd guess you click "add" and put your command in, name it and comment it in the way you like best | 04:39 |

| oliver__ | ty, i put "xset m 1/2 4" | 04:39 |

| rsw | if you clicked the "add" button on the dialog you entered the command in, and see it in the list of the main gnome-session-properties screen | 04:41 |
| oliver__ | where is the "add" button? | 04:42 |
| rsw | mine's got the dropbox tray icon and a network connection tool in it | 04:42 |
| rsw | it should have a green plus sign on it, right? | 04:42 |

| tortib | Hello everyone. I'm trying to set iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.x.x/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE in my /etc/iptables.rules config however when I use iptables-restore it says it cannot use the -t nat rule. Why is that? | 04:45 |
| tortib | I could use /etc/rc.local I suppose but I would rather use /etc/iptables.rules | 04:46 |
| oliver__ | you mean in the system settings or in the terminal? | 04:46 |
| fallore | I've got a question. I installed 14.04 earlier today, and when I boot it shows me the splash logo (or at least I think, the Ubuntu logo with the dots underneath) and then goes to a black screen. When I go into advanced options and boot to recovery mode, selecting resume in the menu, everything seems to work fine. Does anyone what I can do to make it boot properly outside of recovery mode? | 04:46 |
| rsw | im running an older version of ubuntu (12.04) and it looks different from that to me, and depending on the version you're running it might appear slightly different | 04:47 |
| rsw | its sufficient to say, if you exit gnome-session-properties and reopen it, and your entry is still in there, it prolly works | 04:48 |
| oliver__ | yeah, but I might have the same conky start up, right? | 04:48 |
| oliver__ | Thanks rsw | 04:48 |
| tortib | oh I see what I did wrong. | 04:49 |
| tortib | nm :) | 04:49 |

| oliver__ | I see what you mean by "add" now, thanks | 04:50 |
| rsw | youre welcome | 04:51 |
| oliver__ | ok, I will try and reboot and see if it runs the command at boot, see you | 04:53 |

| fallore | Bashing-om, i have to hold shift to get to the grub boot menu | 05:05 |
| fallore | sry i had to afk for a minute | 05:06 |
| bazhang | ad try ##pfsense | 05:06 |
| Ad | :bazhang , i try it but no one answer !!!! | 05:07 |
| bazhang | ad so be patient | 05:07 |
| Ad | :) | 05:07 |
| Bashing-om | fallore: True to hold shift with a single OS installed. At that grub menu with the top enty highlighted, 'e' key for edit mode -> boot options screen; arrow down and across to the terms "quiet splash" and add the term "nomodeset" - without the quotes - and key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process. Do you now boot to the GUI login -> desktop . Degraded graphics at this point is OK. | 05:10 |
| xpistos | holstein: are you still around? | 05:18 |
| fallore | Bashing-om, i don't see quiet splash anywhere i press e. earlier another user here had me edit a file and remove "quiet splash" from somewhere, but i'm no longer sure where exactly. could this change what i'd be looking for? | 05:20 |
| fallore | if i press * | 05:20 |

| xpistos | histo: I have the problem drive removed from the computer and am testing the ddresuce to learn how to use it | 05:22 |
| xpistos | histo: I was able to create an image from one disk to another and now I am trying to recover the image so I understand how it is supposed to wor | 05:22 |
| Bashing-om | fallore: This change will not persist through a reboot. If when you have the enty for ubuntu highlighted in the boot menu and press the 'e' key you do not change screens and in that alternate scrren is the linux boot line that in a default desktop install will have the terms quiet splash. you do not see thios line ? | 05:23 |
| Bashing-om | entry/enty* | 05:23 |
| histo | xpistos: did it finish creating the image? | 05:23 |
| xpistos | histo: yes. It was just a 3.5 gb flashdrive with some data on it | 05:24 |
| fallore | yes, i pressed e with ubuntu selected at the grub menu, and it took me to a text editor, but i don't see the lines quiet splash anywhere | 05:24 |
| xpistos | histo: the command I used was ddrescue -r 3 -S /dev/sdc1 image log | 05:24 |
| fallore | Bashing-om* | 05:24 |
| xpistos | now i just need to figure out how to restore the 'image' to a new location, drive etc | 05:25 |
| histo | xpistos: ddrescue image /dev/of/new/location | 05:26 |
| histo | xpistos: or you can just mount the image and copy the data out | 05:26 |
| xpistos | not sure how to mount the image? | 05:26 |
| xpistos | do i just do it like any other drive ? | 05:26 |
| histo | xpistos: fdisk -l image to get the offset of the partitions | 05:27 |
| Bashing-om | fallore: Maybe you edited the file "/etc/default/grub ?? .. looking for a line similar to this presently "linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=dbd69ed2-530c-4409-8f5a-a3f1ea41fc67 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff" . | 05:27 |
| histo | xpistos: then mount -o loop,ro,offset=xxxx image /some/mountpoint | 05:28 |
| fallore | yes, that's the file i edited. i removed where it had quiet splash and it was left blank. i got disconnected from my internet before i could follow through on his instructions, i think we were just eliminating a possibility at that point | 05:28 |
| histo | xpistos: or you can just dd out the image to a device and get the files | 05:28 |
| fallore | i have a line similar to that, Bashing-om, but without quiet splash of course | 05:28 |
| xpistos | what is the offset? | 05:28 |
| histo | xpistos: the start of the partition on the device. | 05:29 |
| xpistos | histo: http://pastebin.com/48wtQ8B9 | 05:30 |
| Bashing-om | fallore: OK, looking good then. After 'ro' add the term nomodeset. key combo ctl+x . | 05:30 |

| e^0 | which is the way to update ubuntu server ? apt-get update and than apt-get upgrade ? | 05:38 |
| xpistos | so now I know I can hopefully image the drive, then mount the image and copy files out of it | 05:38 |
| bazhang | e^0, same as any version, yes, but with sudo | 05:39 |
| Ben64 | xpistos: if it is mountable, sure | 05:39 |
| xangua | e^0 that's the way to update and install security updates yes | 05:39 |
| xpistos | Ben64: Here's hoping when i get to that point. | 05:39 |
| e^0 | OK :) | 05:39 |
| histo | xpistos: yeap. if you have issues with the drive you are working on like say the filesystem gets trashed you can try carving the image for files etc... either way the first step is creating a good image. | 05:39 |
| celroc | e^0: You may need to run "sudo apt-get get dist-upgrade" too to get new kernel updates and things | 05:39 |
| xpistos | Now I am going to format the test drive and then try and create the image | 05:39 |
| histo | xpistos: do you suspect mechanical issues? | 05:40 |
| e^0 | do i need to log into root and do the updates too ? | 05:40 |
| histo | e^0: use sudo | 05:40 |
| bazhang | e^0, just sudo | 05:40 |
| histo | !root | e^0 | 05:40 |
| ubottu | e^0: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:40 |
| xpistos | histo: the drive is a little more than three years old and the rest of the box seems to be running okay | 05:40 |
| LuiX | hello there, i'm trying to get some help regarding some boot issues. here's my pastebin on my last boot repair run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7698617/. The problem is that i cannot properly boot windows because I cycle between "bootmgr" is missing (after running a win7 USB) and "0000xe" error (after a boot repair run) | 05:40 |
| celroc | e^0: Sorry, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" I meant. Had one too many "get"s in there before | 05:40 |
| histo | xpistos: just curious as to why you are using ddrescue instead of dd? typically you see ddrescue used if there are bad sectors etc... | 05:41 |
| xpistos | histo: oh the drive will not mount | 05:41 |
| Ben64 | histo: because the drive is failing and dd doesn't resume and stuff | 05:41 |
| e^0 | thank you guys for the info :) | 05:41 |
| histo | xpistos: k just making sure. | 05:41 |
| xpistos | histo: that is about right | 05:41 |
| histo | xpistos: you may want to consider imaging the drive and not the partition | 05:41 |
| jak2000 | is possible know where a domain was registered? unifrut.com.mx (nic mexico or where?) thanks | 05:42 |
| xpistos | when I run the ddrescue, I will use the /dev/sdd that will get the entire drive if I am correct | 05:42 |
| bazhang | try ##networking jak2000 | 05:42 |
| histo | xpistos: yes you are correct. Here is a page that explains mounting after you do that. http://www.andremiller.net/content/mounting-hard-disk-image-including-partitions-using-linux | 05:42 |
| xpistos | histo: It will be my new bible! | 05:43 |
| celroc | LuiX: Will it still boot into Linux? | 05:43 |
| xpistos | histo: Thanks alot! | 05:43 |
| xpistos | Ben64: thanks to you as well ... again. | 05:43 |
| histo | xpistos: basically if you image the whole drive you get all the bits. The partitions do not start at the begining of the disk so you have to use an offset to mount the partitions. | 05:43 |
| histo | xpistos: np anytime. the reason your command didn't work above is that you had a space between loop and ro i believe. | 05:44 |
| LuiX | celroc, just after the boot repair from a liveCD, i can normally boot the linux partitions | 05:44 |
| xpistos | I fat fingered that | 05:44 |
| xpistos | if the drive dies in the middle of the image, will I get anything? | 05:45 |
| LuiX | celroc, but when selecting the windows from the grub menu, it gets another error, the "0000xce" | 05:45 |
| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| xpistos | here is a really dumb question. how do i unmount the image now when I am done? | 05:46 |
| celroc | LuiX: If you can get back into Ubuntu, you may want to try running "sudo grub install /dev/sda" (assuming you only have one disk) and then "sudo update grub" in a terminal. This will sort of refresh the bootloader | 05:46 |
| xpistos | umount /mount location | 05:47 |
| LuiX | celroc, it seems like there's a problem betweem bcd and the system reserved boot partition (sda1 in the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/7698617/) | 05:47 |
| === dfgas is now known as dfgas_off | ||
| celroc | LuiX: I apologize, "sudo update-grub" with a hyphen. I can't seem to type tonight | 05:47 |
| Bashing-om | fallore: How are you doing ? are you stuck ? | 05:48 |
| LuiX | celroc, what if i'm running from a livecd right now? | 05:49 |
| celroc | LuiX: I'm sorry, I'm actually confused, I think. Do you know if you're using grub as your bootloader? | 05:49 |
| celroc | LuiX: It's definitely doable from the liveCD. The guide here shows the basic procedure: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd but we might need to deviate from the examples a little because your partition numbers might be different from the examples | 05:51 |
| LuiX | celroc, i only now that after i run boot-repair from the livecd I reset and i have all the OSes, but the windows option gets to a windows failure screen that says "the boot selection failed because device is inaccessible". | 05:53 |
| celroc | LuiX: Huh. Strange... Is that after running update-grub ? | 05:54 |
| LuiX | celroc, because of that, i ran a windows USB and followed the instructions from a webpage that mannually repairs the issue | 05:55 |
| histo | xpistos: umount /mount/directory | 05:56 |
| LuiX | celroc, after running the windows usb i get the "BOOTMGR missing", which gets me to the starting point (having to run boot-repair) | 05:56 |
| xpistos | histo: thanks! | 05:56 |
| xpistos | now on to test two | 05:56 |
| LuiX | celroc, another detail. the origin of the windows error was that i tried to repair the boot with another livecd | 05:57 |
| celroc | LuiX: Hmm, alright... well, the first thing that's usually recommended for these kinds of things is reloading GRUB. If you can boot into Ubuntu still, please try "sudo grub install /dev/sda" and "sudo update-grub" | 05:57 |
| e^0 | what does this mean, when i boot into my ubuntu server it says " there is 1 zombie process " | 05:58 |
| LuiX | celroc, i think the boot repair does exactly that | 05:58 |
| === LRgraham_ is now known as LRgraham | ||
| LuiX | celroc, but i'll follow the instructions on the webpage that you sent anyways | 05:59 |
| LuiX | celroc, but my suspicions are that this is not a grub problem but the windows boot manager | 06:00 |
| ki7mt | e^0, a process that cannot be killed, you can't kill the dead, aka zombie process. | 06:00 |
| e^0 | ki7mt: ok :) | 06:00 |
| celroc | LuiX: Oh... I see. If that's the case, then I'm afraid that I don't have any experience fixing broken Windows boot managers. I'm not sure I can help | 06:00 |
| visiteur_1 | https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/focus-fusion-empowertheworld--3 | 06:01 |
| LuiX | celroc, from reading the http://paste.ubuntu.com/7698617/, would you say that the problem is that grub is not installed in the correct partition? | 06:02 |
| === dk_ is now known as Guest95695 | ||
| celroc | LuiX: Grub by default doesn't install itself to a partition as far as I'm aware. It should attempt to install itself to the MBR of the hard disk unless otherwise specified | 06:03 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| ki7mt | LuiX, Check out an app called EasyBCD, works pretty well, but you need to get into WinDoze first to install it, or have an EasyBSD recovery CD. | 06:04 |
| ki7mt | .. EasyBCD .. sri | 06:04 |
| Johnn514 | rop | 06:06 |
| Johnn514 | oops | 06:06 |
| Johnn514 | hello | 06:06 |
| LuiX | ki7mt, and with that recovery cd, what is the general strategy? | 06:08 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, ya fix the Windows MBR, and use EasyBCD to dual / muli boot whatever ya need. | 06:09 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, So when the box boots, rather than seeing the Grub menu initially, it's the EEasyBCD menu. Selecting Linus or whatever you call it sends you to Grub wehre you can control multiple Linux installs. | 06:11 |
| ki7mt | Vista is particularly painful to deal with if Grub2 is the boot loader. Win7/8 not as bad, but on some machines, still painful. | 06:12 |
| LuiX | ki7mt, so from that step onward, i'll have those two steps every time I boot? | 06:13 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, 1 for Windows, 1 for all your Linux. Instead of auto-booting into a particular image, you get the selection menu. | 06:14 |
| LuiX | ki7mt, but first the easybcd and then grub? | 06:15 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, So for example,. I ahve one box with Windows, and like 6 distro's can't recall exactly, if I select Linux, Grub pops up and says , ok, which Linux you want. | 06:15 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, Yes, when the box boots, your presented with the EasyBCD Menu, If I select Windows, it boots straight in, if Linux, presents you with the Linux Boot Options, Memtest, recovery, all that stuff. | 06:16 |
| LuiX | ki7mt, i see. I'm primarily a linux user, and i'm not sure if it's an elegant solution. there must be a way to reconcile grub and windows. | 06:17 |
| LuiX | ki7mt, what i mean is that i've always worked just with grub and it worked ok | 06:17 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, I am too, but on that box, when I tried to dual box it, Windows crashed, and that was the only way out. | 06:18 |
| ki7mt | .. dual boot it .. .. | 06:18 |
| Ben64 | LuiX: then continue to use grub? | 06:18 |
| Beldar | LuiX, I missed your issue, but using easybcd is just more muddling of the boot, would you be willing to state the issue again and run a boot diagnostic script? | 06:18 |
| LuiX | thanks ki7mt. Beldar, heres a pastebin of a boot repair run http://paste.ubuntu.com/7698617/ | 06:19 |
| ki7mt | Grub doesn't wok on all Windows installs that a fact, so it's not muddling. | 06:19 |
| Ben64 | LuiX: so you're not even on ubuntu... | 06:20 |
| ki7mt | LuiX, That's all I ahd to offer, was an option. | 06:20 |
| LuiX | Ben64, what do you mean? | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | LuiX: this is #ubuntu, for ubuntu support. you're not running ubuntu | 06:21 |
| Beldar | LuiX, Not a supported OS as noticed, but the bootrepair should fix this unless windows is corrupted, I would run a chkdsk /r on windows from a recovery terminal if needed. | 06:22 |
| LuiX | Ben64, i thought that running elementaryOS was still part of the family. anyways this could apply to any distro | 06:22 |
| Ben64 | LuiX: only canonical ubuntu releases are supported here | 06:23 |
| Beldar | LuiX, OR a rebuild of the bcd in windows easily done. | 06:23 |
| Beldar | and or* | 06:23 |
| LuiX | Beldar, would it suffice to know that the problem started when i tried to move one partition to another to install ubuntu (sda7 on the pastebin)? you'll have to trust me with that one. | 06:25 |
| Beldar | LuiX, Are you registered with freenode we could do this in ##linux | 06:26 |
| LuiX | i am! | 06:26 |

| innocent95 | Morning! | 06:59 |
| innocent95 | i lost my /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod | 07:00 |

| CodeFormer | running kvm shows problem.. manually shows these: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7699029/ | 07:01 |
| celroc | innocent95: Can you run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal? It might help fix it | 07:01 |
| innocent95 | celroc, can i do that for a live usb | 07:01 |
| innocent95 | because i am not able to boot | 07:02 |
| celroc | innocent95: Yes, but it takes a few more steps. One moment, please, let me get a handy article that shows what the steps are | 07:02 |

| Mattias | I have a dual head setup and am trying to set color profiles for both screens with xcalib. Running i3 as wm. However, Xorg seems to make them look like one screen, so I can't target xcalib to only one screen. basically I only have display :0 and screen :0 at 3840x1200. How do I tell xorg to use them as 2 screens instead of 1? | 07:07 |
| celroc | innocent95: One moment, please. I'll take a closer look at the article | 07:08 |
| celroc | innocent95: You'll want to start at the part that reads "Terminal Commands" and work your way down from there | 07:09 |
| commander_ | how do i switch off my AMD graphics as I am having quick battery drainage issue | 07:09 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Is this a dualboot? | 07:09 |

| innocent95 | These are foremost files | 07:17 |

| celroc | innocent95: By the way, do you know if you have multiple hard drives in your computer? | 07:18 |

| umar343 | i was not able to find any email id to send mail on the main website. | 07:36 |
| innocent95 | i wrote on the hdd several times | 07:37 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Something has gone wrong, I would pull out what you want and do a new install, but that is me. You could try a chroot and run a grub install and update but I can't guarantee that to work. | 07:38 |
| ki7mt | nicolas__, for what it's worth, I use peperflash on Chromium, more info here: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/install-pepper-flash-player-for.html | 07:38 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, what do you recommend | 07:39 |
| ki7mt | nicolas__, and for 14.04 see: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/pepper-flash-player-installer-for.html | 07:39 |
| nicolas__ | ok ki7mt I check that Thank yu ;-)) | 07:39 |
| ki7mt | nicolas__, Your Welcome | 07:40 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Because I have my setups as a dpkg list to load all installs, extra repos and keys I just fresh install myself. I think in your case a fresh install is probably best, than clone that sucker when all updated and setup/ | 07:40 |
| Beldar | innocent95, If you had a clone to begin with al;l you would be doing is reloading it. | 07:41 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, reloading it | 07:42 |
| innocent95 | what do you mean | 07:42 |
| Beldar | innocent95, a clone can be put back in, I just used that term. | 07:43 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, Reinstalling it ? | 07:44 |
| Beldar | innocent95, A clone is a mirror image an exact copy to just reload to a partition. | 07:44 |
| celroc | Oh... Okay, I see what Beldar is saying now | 07:44 |
| innocent95 | I am not loosing anything, i think i have to reinstalling it again | 07:45 |
| innocent95 | reinstall | 07:45 |
| rimad | hey guys, I have three monitors setup (2 monitors and laptop display). It works ok when extending desktop, however when I go from primary monitor to the other my primary monitor starts scrolling and mirroring other two displays. How do i get rid of this? | 07:45 |
| Tobias92 | Dear Ubuntu gurus, my cronjob for updating spamassassin keeps failing, saying "could not find working mirror". Google is of no help, does anybody have a suggestion? | 07:46 |
| Beldar | innocent95, I like clones it takes me less than an hour to do a full reinstall and have the same OS, but about 10 min to pop the clone in instead. | 07:46 |
| celroc | innocent95: He means that right after you get your system re-installed and set up how you want it, you can make an exact copy ("image") of it and just revert back to that copy later | 07:46 |
| innocent95 | oh | 07:47 |
| celroc | Beldar: Good suggestion | 07:47 |
| innocent95 | after re-installing it | 07:47 |
| acetakwas | How do u do a cloan please? | 07:47 |
| Beldar | celroc, My ego does not allow me to ask for help, just insurance supporting that. ;) | 07:47 |
| jnhghy | in what file is the network settings -> proxy settings saved? I need to check it by command line if there is a way... | 07:47 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, Multiple ways but I use clonezilla ofyen. | 07:48 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, Lol | 07:48 |
| Beldar | often* | 07:48 |
| * celroc blinks, not appearing to know what Beldar means | 07:48 | |
| djr013 | jnhghy: I'm not sure, but note that usually there are both system and user settings | 07:49 |
| djr013 | so probably multiple places | 07:49 |
| Beldar | celroc, I'm to proud to ask for help would be the description of my dysfunctional self. ;) | 07:49 |
| celroc | innocent95: Yes, it would be after re-installing it. Basically, once you have your system in a state that you want it in, you can sort of make a copy of it in that state and then revert to it quickly any time that you need | 07:49 |
| celroc | Beldar: Ah. Um, okay | 07:50 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, celroc When i started the install wizard it told me that this computer has no detected os, what the heck is going on (P) | 07:50 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Not sure here, you did the damage, and it is impossible to tell here what you did. | 07:51 |
| === [Derek] is now known as MCCHICKEN | ||
| Beldar | innocent95, Just let the installer write the whole HD. | 07:52 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, The whole HD | 07:52 |
| innocent95 | why | 07:52 |
| celroc | innocent95: It will reformat your drive for you. Of course, you will want to backup anything that might be important on the drive first | 07:53 |
| === MCCHICKEN is now known as [Derek] | ||
| Beldar | innocent95, That is what you had, I assume that is what you want. | 07:53 |
| celroc | innocent95: Basically, what it'll do for you is clean off the Ubuntu install that broke, and then install it completely fresh | 07:54 |
| innocent95 | Yes i know, I mean i want re-partition the hdd | 07:56 |
| innocent95 | I want to break up this 40 gig into 13 and 27 | 07:57 |
| === robotdevil is now known as Guest26204 | ||
| Beldar | innocent95, Use the manual install than | 07:57 |
| Beldar | leave space for a swap | 07:58 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, Yes i did, both are ext4 does this works | 07:58 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, a swap, oh how much does it takes | 07:58 |
| Beldar | innocent95, equal or a few MB more that ram is the norm. | 07:59 |
| Beldar | than* | 07:59 |
| innocent95 | 1GB | 07:59 |
| Beldar | innocent95, That your ram amount? | 07:59 |
| innocent95 | Yess | 08:00 |
| innocent95 | dont tell people | 08:00 |
| innocent95 | (P) | 08:00 |
| ki7mt | May want to consider Lubuntu then :-) | 08:00 |
| innocent95 | ki7mt, Xubuntu | 08:00 |
| Beldar | innocent95, I would do a swap about 1.25 gig to just be safe | 08:00 |
| ki7mt | Either or, just not Ubuntu :-) | 08:01 |
| innocent95 | Yes | 08:01 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, 1024.25 | 08:01 |
| innocent95 | what is the file system | 08:01 |
| celroc | innocent95: Linux uses mainly the ext4 filesystem (recommended nowadays). You can use ext2/ext3 but I'm not sure what exactly would be the pros/cons | 08:03 |
| Beldar | innocent95, swap is the partiton type | 08:04 |
| Beldar | good amount | 08:04 |
| celroc | innocent95: Sorry. I misunderstood your question. Beldar got it right | 08:04 |
| innocent95 | Yes i know, I mean other partitions | 08:04 |
| Beldar | innocent95, actually that would be 1280 | 08:05 |
| Mercer | What software do I use to create a Ubuntu Live USB? Currently pn 13.10. | 08:05 |
| Mercer | *on | 08:05 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, Exactly i was calculating that | 08:05 |
| Mercer | I used UNetBootIn, didn't work... | 08:05 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, I believe you have a calculator (P) | 08:05 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Yes I do, lol. | 08:05 |
| Beldar | Mercer, What is the OS you are trying to load? | 08:06 |
| acetakwas | Mercer: you can use YUMI to create it on a thumb drive | 08:06 |
| Mercer | Beldar: Ubuntu 14.04 | 08:06 |
| Beldar | Mercer, use the onboard startup disk craetor | 08:07 |
| Beldar | creator* | 08:07 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, No root file system is defined | 08:08 |
| Beldar | innocent95, set the mount on the install partiton as / | 08:08 |
| innocent95 | oh i got it | 08:08 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, Before you say it, P | 08:08 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Good, job we like self sufficiency here. ;) | 08:09 |
| innocent95 | Yeah i see | 08:09 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, what about the other partition what mount point does it takes | 08:09 |
| Beldar | innocent95, I would not bother with it in the install you can make it with another install or with gparted. | 08:10 |
| McErroneous | lool.. | 08:10 |
| innocent95 | Alright | 08:10 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Are you separating out home? | 08:11 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, You mean Linux home, or My home | 08:12 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Your home. | 08:12 |
| innocent95 | Yes i am at home | 08:12 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Heh, the home of the OS, lol. | 08:12 |
| innocent95 | lol | 08:12 |
| acetakwas | Lol...he means /home | 08:12 |
| innocent95 | Yeah i see | 08:13 |
| lexus00z | lol | 08:13 |
| innocent95 | but how separating out home | 08:13 |
| JovialHarp | hello! | 08:13 |
| Beldar | innocent95, I never have a seperate /home myself but it seems popular, but not really needed. | 08:13 |
| lexus00z | joviaharp:hello | 08:13 |
| acetakwas | JovialHarp: Hi! | 08:13 |
| innocent95 | OOh | 08:13 |
| innocent95 | It looks useful i was trying to do that | 08:14 |
| celroc | Beldar: I've personally found it very handy, but do agree that it's not necessary | 08:14 |
| innocent95 | but ... | 08:14 |
| innocent95 | can i do that later one | 08:14 |
| innocent95 | on | 08:14 |
| JovialHarp | i was wondering, does anyone have a toshiba sattelite laptop running ubuntu? | 08:14 |
| Beldar | celroc, works in the right context, I just never upgrade the OS. | 08:14 |
| Beldar | JovialHarp, How about the actual issue? | 08:15 |
| acetakwas | I'm more interested in seperating out 'installed packages'. But how? | 08:15 |
| celroc | Beldar: Ah. I use it mostly just in case I want to switch OSes or upgrade. It makes it a bit easier ;-) | 08:15 |
| Beldar | true | 08:15 |
| JovialHarp | i can't seem to make my laptop change brightness, also i don't remember how to send a message to a specific person in irc anymore beldar | 08:16 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, You can make a dpkg list of apps installed if you like, and save configs | 08:16 |
| innocent95 | Ubuntu + xfce = XUbuntu, what the heck is this | 08:16 |
| Beldar | JovialHarp tab complete for nicks, brightness I'm not sure. | 08:16 |
| celroc | innocent95: It would probably be easiest to do it now if you want a /home partition. You can add it later, but it can be a little more complicated to do later | 08:16 |
| lexus00z | JovialHarp: doubleclick the nickname you want to send | 08:17 |
| acetakwas | JovialHarp: have you tried 'Settings' > 'Screen'? | 08:17 |
| innocent95 | I mean if am using ubuntu and xfce in the same time why then, they are saying that xubuntu is faster than ubuntu | 08:17 |
| JovialHarp | Beldar: its interesting because the brightness settings work on my 12.04 livecd, but not on the operating system once it installed | 08:17 |
| Beldar | innocent95, xfce is the base of xubuntu together you have a somewhat xubuntu setup | 08:17 |
| innocent95 | celroc, ok | 08:17 |
| celroc | innocent95: xubuntu is actually just the ubuntu core with the XFCE desktop environment | 08:17 |
| Beldar | JovialHarp, The brightness gui does not work or key prompts? | 08:18 |
| innocent95 | celroc, That's it | 08:18 |
| JovialHarp | Beldar: neither, i've gone into the gui settings, and no matter what i do to the brightness bar, it doesn't change, and the keys dont do anything different either | 08:18 |
| innocent95 | why didn't they say Ubuntu Core + xfce = XUbuntu it would be better | 08:18 |
| Beldar | JovialHarp, I would go to askubuntu and search with that computer model and brightness, probably info there. | 08:19 |
| acetakwas | Beldarl: how? | 08:19 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, how what? | 08:19 |
| JovialHarp | Beldar: I'll look, its been a pain in my side for awhile now, i feel like my corneas are being burnt lol | 08:19 |
| Beldar | innocent95, Ubuntu Core + xfce = XUbuntu is not precisely xubuntu is all. | 08:20 |
| acetakwas | Beldar: how to make the dpkg list. | 08:20 |
| innocent95 | neither ubuntu + xfce = xubuntu | 08:20 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, Code: | 08:21 |
| Beldar | dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 08:21 |
| Beldar | And if you wanted to use the list to reinstall this software on a fresh ubuntu setup, Code: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages ; sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 08:21 |
| innocent95 | Beldar, huh, copying code, why didn't you just mentioned the page for him | 08:21 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, sorry make the list with this the first was the relaod. dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 08:21 |
| acetakwas | Beldar: okay, thanks | 08:22 |
| Beldar | innocent95, NOt from a page but my notes | 08:22 |
| innocent95 | Oh | 08:22 |
| innocent95 | okay | 08:22 |
| innocent95 | Cloud-up your notes | 08:23 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, so in correct order save with dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages reload with sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages ; sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 08:23 |
| acetakwas | eNotes or paper Notes? | 08:23 |
| Beldar | sorry about that | 08:23 |
| acetakwas | Okay | 08:24 |
| Beldar | acetakwas, about 5 pages of libreooffice all kinds of stuff | 08:24 |

| n1n0 | Hi. Would appreciate any help. Had this issue on 13.10 with the display manager where the system always went into the login loop (even after 14.04 installation). Now, the display goes black with the tiny stripes on the sides where only reboot helps. Thought it was the display hardware issue (as i recently changed it), but when i plug the external monitor via vga, it's the same. Any reccomendations | 08:36 |
| n1n0 | ? | 08:36 |
| Mercer | I created a Live USB with Startup Disk Creator, but still my Laptop won't detect the USB | 08:36 |
| acetakwas | Do you want to clenan ur entire HDD? | 08:36 |
| aszen | acetakwas: yes | 08:36 |
| aszen | (I hate win8 :P) | 08:36 |
| n1n0 | ...it's the same on that other monitor (the black with stripes) | 08:36 |
| Mercer | I even tried with UNETBOOTIN and LiLi | 08:36 |
| acetakwas | Lol okay | 08:37 |
| n1n0 | ...and am wondering could it be the hardware issue or another display manager bug? | 08:37 |
| Beldar | Mercer, "still my Laptop won't detect the USB" does this mean no boot or not seen in the bios? | 08:37 |
| aszen | acetakwas: now the installer ask me for the boot password (aka "Security key"). So I'm typing it in there... sec | 08:37 |
| acetakwas | There is a last option .. I think something something like 'specify manually | 08:37 |
| aszen | acetakwas: yes | 08:38 |
| Mercer | Beldar: Not seen in the BIOS | 08:38 |
| aszen | sec | 08:38 |
| Beldar | Mercer, You are sure the computer boots from a usb? | 08:38 |
| aszen | acetakwas: in the disk setup ("Installation type") I can choose "Something else" which will serve me a screen where I can devine the disk layout by myself | 08:38 |
| aszen | should I choose that one? | 08:38 |
| aszen | s/devine/define | 08:39 |
| acetakwas | Yes exactly | 08:39 |
| joystick | Hi need some help with snmp mib search path. | 08:39 |
| aszen | acetakwas: okey, I'll first choose "New partition Table" (in order to erease the current partition table / data) | 08:39 |
| joystick | googling not helping :) | 08:40 |
| acetakwas | Yes | 08:40 |
| acetakwas | Are there any partitions there currently? | 08:40 |
| aszen | yes the previous ubuntu installation that failed | 08:40 |
| aszen | sec | 08:41 |
| Mercer | Beldar: So there are 2 boot options... Boot Option #1 and #2. If I hit enter on one of them, it lists the available "media/drives" available. So I see my HDD and DVD Drive but I can't see the USB Drive there... | 08:41 |
| acetakwas | When you select that partition, is there an option to delete at the bottom of the window? | 08:41 |
| Beldar | Mercer, That does not answer the question. | 08:41 |
| aszen | acetakwas: /dev/mapper/blabla_ASUSOS1 -> efi (500 MB), /dev/mapper/blabla_ASUSOS2 ext2 (230MB), /dev/mapper/blabla_ASUSOS3 (500GB) | 08:42 |
| aszen | acetakwas: I can delete all these three yes | 08:42 |
| aszen | should I do that? | 08:42 |
| Mercer | Beldar: I suppose every Laptop can, its been only 4 months since I got it... | 08:42 |
| JovialHarp | Hah! well sort of Hah! the function keys now show that they're doing something, but the brightness still remains unchanged | 08:42 |
| acetakwas | Yes please | 08:43 |
| Beldar | Mercer, I will take that as a yes, and no many older computers do not boot from a usb. This a uefi bios | 08:43 |
| acetakwas | Then you can create the new partition table | 08:43 |
| === jibran is now known as jibran|afk | ||

| Mercer | Beldar ^ | 08:44 |
| Beldar | Mercer, You can't as far as I know disable the bios. | 08:44 |
| Mercer | Beldar: I mean I have disabled the UEFI boot | 08:44 |
| aszen | acetakwas: ok, so after deleting these partitions I have: /dev/mapper/lsw_blabla_ASUS_OS with 500GB free space | 08:45 |
| Beldar | Mercer, Have you read the uefi wiki? | 08:45 |
| aszen | I click on it and choose "New Partition Table" | 08:45 |
| acetakwas | Yes | 08:45 |
| aszen | acetakwas: done | 08:45 |
| Mercer | Beldar: Not within the last month | 08:45 |
| Beldar | Mercer, I'm not really up on uefi, and every manufacturer has voodoed their own version, so this if I could even help will go past my intent to crash in about 12 min, others will be better help. | 08:47 |

| aszen | acetakwas: done, what do I need? just /? boot? EFI? swap? | 08:48 |
| acetakwas | 08:48 | |
| Beldar | Mercer, I will leave you with these to use however. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 08:49 |
| acetakwas | You need '/'; '/boot' (optional) and 'swap' | 08:49 |
| aszen | acetakwas: ok, does the order of these partition matter? | 08:50 |
| opiwan | hello. in prior ubuntu-versions (before 14.04) kvm had a kind of "fallback-mode". if resource was busy (f.e. via virtualbox) the command "kvm" started "qemu" instead. now it only says "resource busy". how can I get back this "fallback-behavior"? | 08:50 |
| acetakwas | Not really...but you may make 'boot' the first | 08:51 |
| Beldar | Mercer, I would confirm the usb shows or is bootable as well on another computer maybe. | 08:51 |
| aszen | acetakwas: OK, UEFI boot or just boot? i Guess I need UEFI boot | 08:51 |
| Beldar | opiwan, fallback as in another desktop? | 08:51 |
| Beldar | opiwan, I misinterpreted that, my bad | 08:52 |
| acetakwas | I would sya just 'boot' is fine and at 256MB | 08:52 |

| aszen | soudns good? | 08:56 |
| acetakwas | Aszen: you may also want to leave some free 'unallocated' space for future use if you have a lot of space to play with | 08:57 |
| aszen | acetakwas: usually I just use one big partition for all my stuff | 08:57 |
| acetakwas | Okay. Fine | 08:57 |
| Leong44 | I suggest jfs rather than ext4, it has better all-round performance | 08:57 |
| acetakwas | Next step | 08:58 |
| aszen | acetakwas: Device for boot loader installation | 08:58 |
| aszen | is that /dev/mapper/lsw_blabla_ASUS_OS (the disk) or a partition? | 08:58 |
| acetakwas | The disk not the partition please | 08:59 |
| acetakwas | Leong44: I don't know much about JFS I'm sorry | 08:59 |
| aszen | acetakwas: ok, now it gets interesting. I can choose between: /dev/sda, /dev/mapper/lsw_blabla_ASUS_OS ("Linux device-mappter (stripped)", or a partition ( /dev/mapper/lsw_blabla_ASUS_OS[1|2|3] | 09:00 |
| aszen | do I have to choose sda or the device mapper? | 09:00 |
| acetakwas | I want to believe it's sda | 09:01 |
| aszen | hint: I have some sort of weird software / hardware raid (2x256GB SSDs) that I can't influence | 09:01 |
| aszen | so are you sure I should choose sda and not the mapper thing? :P | 09:01 |
| acetakwas | 09:01 | |
| acetakwas | Okay let,s go back to the partitions you created earlier | 09:02 |
| acetakwas | On which disk were they created? | 09:02 |
| aszen | on the mapper (/dev/mapper/lsw_blabla_ASUS_OS). the funny thing is that I can't see / choose sda there | 09:03 |
| underpressure | Hello! Im trying to get OpenGL 1.3 working in Win 8.1 in VirtualBox. It seems only OpenGL 1.1 is supported. Any ideas? | 09:03 |
| aszen | I only see the mapper, not the sda. but the sda appears in the "device for boot loader installation" | 09:03 |
| aszen | acetakwas: you want a screenshot? | 09:03 |
| acetakwas | I wish, but I'm on a j2me IRC client not so sophisticated | 09:04 |
| Leong44 | underpressure: Use VMWare, VirtualBox is a pile of junk | 09:05 |
| acetakwas | Okay let's go with the MAPPER | 09:05 |
| Ben64 | Leong44: that isn't true at all | 09:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Leong44 i happen to like virtualbox, thank you | 09:05 |
| aszen | acetakwas: ok, I'll install the boot loader there | 09:05 |
| Leong44 | VirtualBox is barely maintained... it was almost kicked out of the kernel at one point | 09:05 |
| Leong44 | But suit yourself | 09:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Leong44 no FUD here, please | 09:06 |
| underpressure | Leong44: how? | 09:06 |
| aszen | acetakwas: now I'm getting a message "Go back to the menu and correct this problem?" It tells me that there is a EFI thing and I should create a UEFI boot partition for /boot | 09:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Leong44 and you shouldnt say things that are not true, leave that to politicians | 09:06 |
| aszen | "The partition table foramt in use on your disk normally requeires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code. This partition should be marked for use as an "EFI boot partition" and should be at least blabla. Note that this is not the same as a partition mounted on /boot" | 09:07 |
| underpressure | unforgiven512: | 09:07 |
| aszen | "If you do not got back to the partition menu and correct this error, boot loader installation may fail later" | 09:07 |

| AdmiralMoose | histo: The only disk available, /dev/sda | 09:24 |
| herpderphurr | histo: I'm guessing you mean the update-manager package. yes, I have that installed. I've also run the GUI Software Updater, but it does not provide me any indication that a new release is available. | 09:24 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: click install now | 09:24 |
| aszen | acetakwas: nope, but I can get one | 09:24 |
| aszen | sec | 09:24 |
| AdmiralMoose | Its actually frozen, because I clicked on the + and now its stuck | 09:25 |
| acetakwas | Also do u know how to use YUMI | 09:25 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: or whatever that bottom right botton says | 09:25 |
| aszen | YUMI? never heard :P | 09:25 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: what does the bottom right button say? | 09:25 |
| aszen | I have ubuntu 13.10 handy | 09:25 |
| histo | aszen: YUMI is broken | 09:25 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: install now | 09:25 |

| histo | AdmiralMoose: click it | 09:25 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: But it is stuck on the + button | 09:25 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: I can't click anything else | 09:25 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: can you click back? | 09:25 |
| Ben64 | underpressure: yes it will | 09:25 |
| acetakwas | Yumi is small and can be downloaded within seconds | 09:26 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Nope | 09:26 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Completely frozen, apart from the mouse | 09:26 |
| histo | acetakwas: YUMI linux version is broken atm | 09:26 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: What version of ubuntu are you installing? | 09:26 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: 14.04 | 09:26 |
| aszen | acetakwas: I'll give it a try with 13.10 | 09:26 |
| aszen | give me 5 mins | 09:26 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: restart the installer that is odd. | 09:26 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: You mean reboot? | 09:27 |
| acetakwas | Install it on windows; use it to add the iso to ur thumb drive | 09:27 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: I am using forcepae | 09:27 |
| underpressure | Ben64: ok. no prob to put ubuntu on a partition. if my current experiment doesnt work out i will try that. havent tried ubuntu for a year or two now. | 09:27 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: why? | 09:28 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Its an older machine with a pentium M | 09:28 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: are you trying to install a full desktop of unity? | 09:29 |
| cfhowlett | AdmiralMoose try lubuntu = optimized for older hardware | 09:29 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Lubuntu? | 09:29 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: I will try that | 09:29 |
| cfhowlett | !lubuntu| AdmiralMoose | 09:29 |
| ubottu | AdmiralMoose: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 09:29 |
| underpressure | you have to install a different distro to choose a different window manager? | 09:30 |
| cfhowlett | underpressure no you do not. | 09:30 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: is that a non pae processor? | 09:30 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Yes | 09:30 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: So I used forcepae | 09:30 |
| aszen | acetakwas: ok, ready with ubuntu 13.10 | 09:30 |
| aszen | should I choose the same setup, or give it a try with "erease all and install ubuntu"? | 09:31 |
| aszen | maybe that works | 09:31 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: Warning: use of this parameter will taint the kernel and may cause unknown problems. right from the kernel docs | 09:31 |
| underpressure | im confused... so if i switch my display manager in ubuntu to lxde, i can ask questions in #ubuntu but if i install lubunt which is ubuntu with lxde as default, i have to ask in #lubuntu? | 09:31 |
| AdmiralMoose | histo: Yes I know | 09:31 |
| acetakwas | Same. But I don't think u need EFI boot | 09:32 |
| Hounddog_ | Just saw there is a ppa for sublime text 3 and trying to install from there... all is good as seems but not able to open sublime... if anyone else might be having it running | 09:32 |
| cfhowlett | underpressure ask here. for more in depth support, ask lubuntu | 09:32 |
| acetakwas | Did u get Yumi? | 09:32 |
| histo | AdmiralMoose: doesn't the mini iso have non pae kernels still? | 09:32 |
| underpressure | cfhowlett: ok. | 09:32 |
| AdmiralMoose | I dont know | 09:32 |
| ki7mt | AdmiralMoose, You should be ok using forcepae on Lubuntu, they did allof of work on that in the last cycle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE | 09:32 |
| aszen | acetakwas: no, why do I need it? | 09:32 |

| acetakwas | 09:54 | |
| aszen | to me it looks like that I had to run the installation wizard twice while he sucessfully creates the disk layout but dies afterwards, and with the second try it will use the existing disk layout | 09:55 |

| somedude123 | histo: yes i did, IMHO i have correct /etc/exports config with anonuid and anongid set | 10:55 |

| histo | crazyhorse: sharing it via what protocol? | 10:57 |
| somedude123 | histo: both servers have identical uid and gid for nobody/nogroup | 10:57 |

| crazyhorse | yes | 10:59 |

| histo | crazyhorse: open a terminal on the mac and run smbtree | 10:59 |
| crazyhorse | hmm don't have it installed | 11:00 |
| crazyhorse | also to get it it looks like you have to go macports > install samba 3 -> then run it | 11:01 |
| histo | crazyhorse: So the mac can see the share but not connect | 11:01 |
| crazyhorse | yes | 11:01 |
| histo | crazyhorse: ont he ubuntu machine try sudo restart samba | 11:02 |
| crazyhorse | yeah sudo restart smdb | 11:03 |
| crazyhorse | still no luck.. i've also removed and created the share a few times | 11:03 |
| sveta | histo: iirc framebuffer involves converting things to "frames" (like X) and then to cli, but I might find that step redundant - need to look at it closer | 11:03 |
| histo | sveta: there isn't a browser out there that will do that. | 11:04 |

The thing is, using -d and -s only -d :0 seems to be available, and no matter what I do xcalib only apply changes to the first monitor. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried -d :0 up to :6 and :0.0 variants. xrandr --query reports | 11:27 |

| hipitihop | abhie2e, are you trying to update to a specific or later version ? on my system 12.04 it seems to already be there. Does yours list when you do 'apt-cache show bind' | 12:25 |
| nep1x | Hi. Does anybody remember which is the command to notify a terminal with the new info of a file you just have modified? | 12:25 |
| abhie2e | hipitihop, its 14.04 and the one in repo is not 9.10.0 | 12:26 |
| abhie2e | hipitihop, its 9.5 in repo | 12:26 |
| hipitihop | abhie2e, right, sorry can't help. | 12:27 |
| abhie2e | :-( | 12:27 |
| abhie2e | hipitihop, i get error geoip path not found while compiling from source --with-geoip | 12:28 |
| apb1963 | nep1x: why would you have to notify a terminal about modifying a file? | 12:30 |
| hipitihop | abhie2e, again, sorry, not much experience with compile from source and certainly not bind. Sounds a little scary as bind is pretty low level afaik | 12:30 |
| abhie2e | hipitihop, ok. np. | 12:30 |
| nep1x | eg, when you change the global var PATH in .bashrc file so you want to have your updated var without having to restart your terminal | 12:31 |
| abhie2e | nep1x, source /path/fise | 12:31 |

| underpressure | Leong44: why do you have to install build-essentials first? | 14:23 |
| biledemon | bcvery: my current cheap mouse is crap at photo editing, so I thought maybe a more expensive "gaming" mouse would be more precise? | 14:24 |
| bcvery | biledemon, yes, it most probably would - may I suggest #hardware would be a better place for this discussion | 14:25 |

| ecdhe | I want to delete all files in a directory that are not marked 0444... any ideas? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ecdhe: prompts them for what? | 14:33 |
| ecdhe | rm -r without the -f asks, "are you sure you want to delete file marked read only?" | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ecdhe: could use sudo..... | 14:34 |
| ecdhe | ActionParsnip, I don't want to force their deletion, I want to preserve the readonly files while deleting the writable ones. | 14:34 |
| LittleBoyUbuntu | cfhowlett: hey, I got into Ubuntu using the trymethod, it worked after termination somehow. How can I proceed with the installation through here_ | 14:35 |
| ecdhe | I tried nohup rm -r, but that has the same effect of rm -rf | 14:35 |
| LittleBoyUbuntu | ? | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ecdhe: then you will need some bash-fu, unless 'man rm' gives an option | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy hit the dash and search for "install" | 14:35 |
| ecdhe | ActionParsnip, I tried the manpage for find, but it doesn't seem to be able to filter file mode permissions. | 14:36 |

| === Guest87782 is now known as jack | ||
| cfhowlett | amitprakash ah! Thanks. learn something everday! | 14:38 |
| eltriviato | hello ecdhe, you could readup on find, do a "man find", you will be able to match names with given modes, then pass the name onto a command which would be "rm" in this case. | 14:38 |
| ocoxo | hello back, how do I install dependencies of a package individually, in order to compile it thereafter? when I simply type 'sudo apt-get install dependencyname' it says 'unable to locate' | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ecdhe: is rm aliased to 'rm -i' in ~/.bashrc ? | 14:39 |
| eltriviato | angain to ecdhe: do an ls -al and capture the output, get it into a text editor which has regular expressions, delete the rows you want to keep, transform the others into "rm" commands, run it | 14:40 |
| === UKn0Meh is now known as UKn0Me | ||
| n1n0 | LittleBoy you can only install it beside windows | 14:40 |
| MonkeyDust | ocoxo my guess: first: 'apt-cache depends' to get a list, then: apt-get download [foo] | 14:41 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: didnt work, whole ubuntu crashed. I will have to do the md5 check now | 14:41 |
| Guido1 | I have a question about setting up my new laptop. i heard that it is better not to charge the laptop for 100 %, but 90 or 95. how can i set it up in xubuntu that it only charges until than and gives a notification? | 14:41 |
| LittleBoy | n1n0: yeah the option "install ubuntu inside windows" makes a dual boot | 14:41 |
| ocoxo | MonkeyDust, hello, it's still about liferea, though on a different problem..I wrote to you that I solved the problem from yesterday, if you read my post | 14:42 |
| LittleBoy | the other option would be replacing | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | ocoxo i'm not at my desk the whole time, must have missed something | 14:42 |
| n1n0 | LittleBoy, yes, so you can replace it | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ecdhe: you'd need to 'grep' the 'ls -l' output for each file, as eltriviato says for each file, if there is a 'w' for the owner access, then delete that file | 14:43 |
| lubuntuuser | hello | 14:43 |
| n1n0 | or make a partition for it to dual boot | 14:43 |
| lubuntuuser | i got a problem with a usb modem on lubuntu | 14:43 |
| lubuntuuser | cant get lubuntu to make it work | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntuuser: 3G by any chance? | 14:44 |
| ocoxo | MonkeyDust, the problem with liferea saying 'proxy connection refused' can be due to the network setting in system settings..if 'manual' is selected but no details are entered, the connection is refused. changing the proxy setting to 'none' solved the problem in my casew | 14:44 |
| ocoxo | case* | 14:44 |
| lubuntuuser | it says on the usb 4g | 14:44 |
| lubuntuuser | does that matter? | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntuuser: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex id to find guides | 14:44 |
| lubuntuuser | 1076:7f00 | 14:44 |
| lubuntuuser | theres the 8 char hex | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntuuser: ok, now use the web to see how to set it up, use that ID | 14:45 |
| lubuntuuser | i just type that? | 14:45 |
| ecdhe | eltriviato, I got it. | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntuuser: yes and addthe word 'ubuntu' | 14:45 |
| Pici | ecdhe: er... you should just be able to do find /path/ -maxdepth 1 -not -perm 0444 -delete | 14:45 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| ActionParsnip | lubuntuuser: never searched the web before? | 14:45 |
| lubuntuuser | nope | 14:45 |
| ecdhe | for the IRC logs, the command I wanted is find -perm -u=w | xargs rm | 14:45 |
| lubuntuuser | just kidding | 14:45 |
| ecdhe | Thanks Pici! | 14:45 |
| lubuntuuser | ok got it | 14:46 |
| Pici | ecdhe: feel free to remove/change the maxdepth paramter if you want to fully recurse through the directories. you may also want to add -type f to only delete files (not directories) | 14:46 |
| ocoxo | MonkeyDust, is the command to be typed just 'apt-cache depends' ? | 14:47 |
| Pici | ocoxo: Are you looking to install the build dependencies, or the actual package dependencies? | 14:47 |
| MonkeyDust | ocoxo try: apt-cache depends liferea | 14:48 |
| ocoxo | Pici, it looks like build dependencies | 14:49 |
| ecdhe | Pici, I appreciate it. I love find, I guess sometimes I gloss over after 10 minutes of reading man pages. | 14:49 |
| Pici | ocoxo: then just sudo apt-get build-dep packagename will install all of the build dependencies for packagename | 14:50 |
| ocoxo | Pici, in which folder do I need to type the command, or does it matter? | 14:50 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: the sums work, but maybe this "universal usb installer" is not working properly with 14.04 LTS ? It is weird because I do get into Ubuntu as "try", but when I try to install it crashes. | 14:50 |
| Pici | ocoxo: it doesn't matter. | 14:50 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: I also had an ubuntu 12.04 a year ago which I removed, could it be interfering somehow the installation? I dont have any boot option or similar left for it either | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy try unetbootin to create the USB and/or a different USB stick | 14:51 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: okay | 14:51 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: should I give it some amount of space to perserve files accross reboots? | 14:53 |
| LittleBoy | across | 14:53 |
| ocoxo | Pici, but the tar package is from git. do dependencies from ubuntu repos match? | 14:53 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy I wouldn't - format the USB to wipe it clean and reinstall ubuntu with unetbootin | 14:53 |
| LittleBoy | ok | 14:53 |
| Pici | ocoxo: they should be close. | 14:53 |
| ocoxo | Pici, ok, I got it started | 14:54 |
| ocoxo | just noticed that it says 'maintenance release' for the latest version..does it mean it is ok to install and use it? | 14:56 |
| ja` | hello everyone. Did Ubuntu policy regarding new versions of Firefox has changed recently? I remember than in the past one would need to use ubuntuzilla or download a new Firefox by hand to have newest Firefox as packages were not available in official apt channels. But today I noticed that there is Firefox 30, the newest Firefox in `precise-updates/main Packages' channel. So can I ditch ubuntuzilla? | 14:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Dave77: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt get install mplayer | 15:01 |
| ocoxo | MonkeyDust, my recent problem is with newsbin, it deletes previously saved items at every restart. have you maybe seen or heard of this problem? | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Dave77 sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | pieeeerrre: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:01 |
| cfhowlett | Dave77 sudo apt-get install mplayer | 15:02 |
| ocoxo | it was working fine in other installs. | 15:02 |
| MonkeyDust | ocoxo sorry, i haven't | 15:02 |
| ocoxo | MonkeyDust, ok, thank you! :) | 15:02 |
| pieeeerrre | ActionParsnip: just "Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l" | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | pieeeerrre: that is EOL in a few weeks, you may want to upgrade soon. May cure the issue | 15:03 |
| Beldar | suokunlong, Could be any number of problems on your end, why are you telling us you have a bug, go to the #firefox channel and tell them | 15:04 |
| ocoxo | Pici, thank you for your help, it seems to be complicated with still unmet dependencies. | 15:04 |
| pieeeerrre | ActionParsnip: yeah i will... but the phone is pretty old (2 years old) so that's quite surprising... | 15:04 |
| ja` | Beldar: hmmm, maybe you're right. Now I think that the whole point of Ubuntuzilla is to have a new version of Firefox available faster than through official channels. There is some delay between a new Firefox release and when it can be installed with apt-get. Also, "Check For Updates" menu entry is disabled in Firefox coming from official channels so, not being Unity user, I would have to check if there is a new Firefox available by | 15:06 |
| ja` | hand | 15:06 |
| Pici | ocoxo: are you sure that even compiling from source will fix your issue? | 15:06 |
| Lorcatar | How can I close the GUI in ubuntu? | 15:06 |
| ocoxo | Pici..it's a more recent version, thought the problem might not exist | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Lorcatar: why would you want to? | 15:07 |
| Pici | ocoxo: You should check for bug reports and see if it is actually fixed. | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | you can log off, and log in to TTY1, then stop the lightdm service | 15:07 |
| pieeeerrre | anyone has a clue please? I don't really know how to get more info after dmesg... | 15:07 |
| Lorcatar | ActionParsnip: I don't like the space it takes up. | 15:07 |
| Lorcatar | I don't use anything except the terminal on this box anyway | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Lorcatar: oh, then add the boot option 'text' and you can uninstall Xorg and so forth. You will then have a CLI only OS | 15:08 |
| ocoxo | Pici, there are no recent bug reports about this. there is one from 2008, where the same problem was reported to be fixed..but then, I have it again in 2014. | 15:08 |

| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: didnt work. gets same termination after continue button. It says " Could not get system bus". Make sure the message bus daemon is running | 15:10 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy and you verified both the ISO and the USB? | 15:10 |
| abc_harold | underpressure: If you're in a VM, you need to install the additions | 15:11 |
| underpressure | abc_harold: i did in vbox. doing it now in vmware. but vmware already said the host does not support 3d. | 15:11 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: i verified the iso and formatted USB. | 15:11 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy by any chance is the a UEFI enabled computer? i.e. runs windows 8.#? | 15:12 |

| LittleBoy | MonkeyDust: did u installing with cd too? | 15:15 |
| Beldar | underpressure, Not really what is it you actually need | 15:15 |
| abc_harold | underpressure: I mean the System Settings app. If you search for Additional Drivers in the dash, you'll find it | 15:15 |
| underpressure | abc_harold: im in system settings. what now? | 15:15 |
| underpressure | Beldar: get opengl 1.3 in windows in a vm. both vbox and vmware only give me 1.1 so far. | 15:16 |
| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: I guess theres not much to do anymore | 15:16 |
| Beldar | underpressure, There is a setting in the bios for 3d if you have it, not sure the name of of it however | 15:16 |
| underpressure | Beldar: oh, so i have to reboot? | 15:16 |
| abc_harold | underpressure: If you search for Additional Drivers in the Dash, you'll find the right place straight away | 15:17 |
| underpressure | abc_harold: ok, searching... | 15:17 |

| LittleBoy | cfhowlett: yea I said that it was odd that it works as a live version, but the installation doesnt work since "couldnt get system bus" | 15:20 |
| Beldar | Psil0Cybin, Have you checked if it's swapping? I would set the swappiness to 10 | 15:20 |
| cfhowlett | LittleBoy last suggestion; as it is optimized for older/lower spec hardware, try lubuntu | 15:22 |
| Beldar | Psil0Cybin, How are you cold resetting? | 15:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | holding the power key | 15:23 |

| Glorfindel | :) | 16:12 |

| Beldar | jellf, This a in the release upgrade or to another release? | 16:12 |
| liukexing | clear the apt-get list | 16:12 |
| jellf | Beldar : from 12.01 to 12.04 | 16:12 |
| Glorfindel | Beldar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7701194/ | 16:12 |

| Beldar | jellf> Beldar : from 12.01 to 12.04 Can you make that more complete looks like you mean just a standard apt-get upgrade am I right? | 16:13 |
| hdt2k | hi | 16:14 |
| Guest54623 | do you all find that 14.04 is a slower then 12.04 | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest54623: not here | 16:14 |
| jellf | Beldar : yes, i just do apt-get update & upgrade | 16:14 |
| Beldar | Glorfindel, Try this sudo apt-get -f install | 16:14 |
| jellf | holstein : from 12.04.1 to 12.04.4 | 16:14 |
| holstein | Guest54623: no.. but, i have found that certain hardware support can cause it to seem that way from one version to the next.. its likely 3d driver support.. | 16:14 |
| Beldar | jellf, So after this you have a black screen? Are you using proprietary graphic drivers? | 16:15 |
| nicolas__ | hi guys just need help to install compiz 3d on ubuntu 14 | 16:15 |
| jellf | Beldar : i'm using nvdia with 64 memory | 16:15 |
| jellf | old pc | 16:15 |

| daftykins | nicolas__: unity uses it already ? :) | 16:15 |
| Glorfindel | Beldar: pastebin it? | 16:15 |
| Beldar | jellf, nvidia form their website or additional drivers | 16:16 |

| nicolas__ | @holstein + daftykins ---) not sure of it... | 16:17 |
| Beldar | jellf, Cool, so I would get to a tty and run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see if this clears stuff up. | 16:17 |
| DaneoShiga | helping a friend that installed nvidia proprietary driver and now his ubuntu gets stuck on "low graphics mode" message | 16:17 |
| daftykins | nicolas__: such little frilly effects can be turned on by installing 'ccsm' or a similar compiz configuration program i think | 16:18 |
| nicolas__ | @daftykins Yes I check that. It bug when I try to install it with : sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 16:18 |
| jellf | Beldar : you mean, the next step just do apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:18 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | If Glorfindel is on Ubuntu 14.04LTS shouldn't her sources be trusty, not saucy? | 16:19 |

| Glorfindel | ok | 16:19 |
| daftykins | nicolas__: i have no experience with that | 16:19 |
| nicolas__ | lol conpiz config manager is ok but no 3d effect allowed.. | 16:20 |
| Beldar | jellf, I would yes, you would have a kernel waiting with a jump like you have described, you need a dist-upgrade to get it. | 16:20 |
| jellf | Beldar : it's will upgrade to anoter version? | 16:20 |
| Beldar | jellf, nope that is a in release upgrade. | 16:20 |
| jellf | Beldar : i will not use 12.04 again | 16:20 |
| jellf | Beldar : ok | 16:20 |
| jellf | Beldar : let me try | 16:20 |
| Beldar | cool | 16:20 |

| bcvery | nicolas__, there is a #compiz channel, they may be able to provide more support | 16:21 |
| bcvery | hakan_, please don't poll | 16:21 |

| hakan_ | ok np | 16:22 |
| holstein | hakan_: not here.. though, i find if i dont have the proper driver support, it can seem slow.. try soemthing that doesnt require 3d support | 16:22 |
| nicolas__ | ok bcvery thk yu | 16:22 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | Glorfindel is on Ubuntu 14.04LTS shouldn't her software sources be trusty, not saucy? | 16:22 |

| Beldar | Glorfindel, can you pastebin all the output of this command grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} this will show all the source.list and source.list.d info just more pertinent info | 16:23 |

| Beldar | Glorfindel, Thanks, as another user mentioned and I had noticed in all these pastes some saucy relevance. Were you running saucy at one point and upgraded if so how, or had a ppa's or ppa's ? | 16:27 |
| Glorfindel | I upgraded from 12.04 | 16:28 |
| Glorfindel | what are ppa's? | 16:28 |
| Beldar | Glorfindel, How did you do the upgrade? | 16:28 |
| jpds | !ppa | Glorfindel | 16:28 |
| ubottu | Glorfindel: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 16:28 |
| Glorfindel | I used the gui upgrader | 16:29 |
| Glorfindel | and the only 3rd party software is tor enabled ff | 16:29 |
| Dave77 | if my ubuntu won't do into desktop:- is there any CLI app that can fix it? | 16:29 |
| wheatthin | Glorfindel, I use torsocks and privoxy :).. no need for ppa | 16:30 |
| DaneoShiga | someone's know how to fix when installing proprietary nvidia driver makes ubuntu get stuck on "low graphics mode"? deleting xorg.conf didn't help | 16:30 |
| Beldar | Glorfindel, every release after 12.04 up to 13.04 is eol so be aware of updating through eol's. Again lets see what others say. | 16:30 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | Glorfindel: this is just my opinion and there are others who would disagree, but I do fresh installs when the distro is LTS. | 16:30 |
| Glorfindel | Well I think it was ppa, I launch it from a shell | 16:30 |
| wheatthin | DanteS1nfern0, negative, just go through the ppa purge process (removing the ppa's) and then trying to do things right :) | 16:31 |
| robairt | Anyone have any idea why I can't copy paste between my desktop and a remote desktop until I paste it into my note, at which point my clipboard is available on both desktops | 16:31 |
| hacmit | @DaneoShiga what is your graphics card configuration? | 16:32 |
| wheatthin | Glorfindel, are you trying t update to 14.04? | 16:32 |
| robairt | if the copying from notes didn't reactivate it, I wouldnt' be nearly as confused | 16:32 |
| Glorfindel | I am running 14.04 | 16:33 |
| wheatthin | k, so what's the problem? | 16:33 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | wheatthin: PPA's are just 3rd party packages. Those can and are regularly upgraded. I'm talking about upgrading the kernel and the entire distro | 16:33 |
| thelastbossman | hey, i recently installed ubuntu 14.04 on dell inspiron 15-3521, but changing brightness does not do anything | 16:33 |
| DaneoShiga | hacmit: it's not my notebook, all my friend told me is that he installed the proprietary tested driver that ubuntu showed him, the most strange part is that the first time he rebooted everything worked... | 16:34 |
| wheatthin | DanteS1nfern0, updating kernel and entire distro is much easier than doing a full reinstall. lol | 16:34 |
| Glorfindel | one moment | 16:34 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | Goinf from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS should be a fresh install. Just my opinion and my experience. It's not like you're doing this every 6 months. | 16:34 |
| wheatthin | I'm upgraded from 12.04, and have absolutely no problems. | 16:34 |
| wheatthin | DanteS1nfern0, we don't run away from problems, we solve them :) | 16:35 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | What's running away? | 16:35 |
| Beldar | DanteS1nfern0, I agree in context, but "should" is not a word showing an opinion, in spite you saying it is. | 16:35 |
| compdoc | I upgraded a system from 13.10 to 14.04, and that went fine but I had the Mate desktop on it, and had to remove then reinstall Mate. but even that went well | 16:36 |
| jellf | Beldar : dist-upgrade doen | 16:36 |
| jellf | Beldar : i will restart the pc | 16:37 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | Ok, bad word, "should". Point agreed. | 16:37 |
| wheatthin | or sudo update-manager -d | 16:37 |
| andatche | anyone know what the magic incantation is to make the grub menu show up in trusty? Holding shift no longer seems to work | 16:37 |
| andatche | hiding by default = fail | 16:37 |
| DaneoShiga | NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M | 16:38 |
| Beldar | andatche, Have you modified the grub timeout or grub in any way? | 16:38 |
| andatche | no | 16:38 |
| andatche | I'm trying to boot a rogered box into single user mode | 16:39 |
| DaneoShiga | andatche: just had to deal with that, commented the grub_timeout on conf to see it everytime | 16:39 |
| Beldar | andatche, rogered box? | 16:39 |
| Glorfindel | wheatthin: Any time I update anything the update shows an error. Here is the log or whatever: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7700948/ | 16:39 |
| andatche | DaneoShiga: that's no use to me right now, I can't boot the box | 16:39 |
| andatche | need single user mode | 16:39 |
| DaneoShiga | andatche: some places say to hold shift, others to hold space, during boot-up | 16:39 |
| DaneoShiga | andatche: for me none worked | 16:39 |
| andatche | yeah, neither are working in this case | 16:40 |

| code1o6 | how to update from gcc-4.8 to 4.9 | 16:41 |
| Beldar | !details | code1o6 | 16:41 |
| ubottu | code1o6: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 16:41 |
| holstein | code1o6: you can upgrade packages with the package manager.. or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:42 |
| wheatthin | Glorfindel, did you try customizing xorg some time before upgrading? | 16:42 |
| code1o6 | has anybody attempted to install gcc-4.9-base package, i cant find the executable in the /usr/bin/ folder | 16:42 |
| holstein | code1o6: there may be ways to force a different version of gcc, but it wouldnt be supported officially | 16:42 |
| Glorfindel | Yes I think I tried to install a Mac OSX thing | 16:42 |
| wheatthin | Yeah, remove that package and start again | 16:43 |
| Glorfindel | though it couldhave been Win7 | 16:43 |
| wheatthin | I doubt it, windows 7 can't even see ubuntu most of the time, let alone write to it | 16:43 |
| Glorfindel | No, it was a 'make ubuntu look like windows 7' thing | 16:45 |
| wheatthin | ahh, and by doing so, you installed random ppa before upgrading? | 16:45 |
| wheatthin | now after upgrade, you're having issues cause that failed during update | 16:46 |
| wheatthin | upgrade* | 16:46 |
| Glorfindel | I think so | 16:46 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: i would simply backup my data, which you should do regarless, since all drives are going to fail.. then, fresh install | 16:46 |
| wheatthin | Glorfindel, for future reference, please remove all PPA's before upgrading. Not all PPA's are maintained to keep up with ubuntu's releases | 16:46 |
| holstein | !info ppa-purge | 16:47 |

| Glorfindel | do a apt-get ppa-purge? | 16:47 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: you are on emergency repair. you'll have to just do whatever it takes to fix what is broken.. i would fresh install | 16:48 |
| Istalantar | how can i create a shortcut or script on my desktop to start a program with double click on it? | 16:48 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: you can try removing your user config from the equation.. | 16:48 |

| wheatthin | It's a basic description of where the executable and it's icon is located | 16:49 |
| Beldar | Glorfindel, the ppa-purge was just info, you have no ppa's as of now, the advice to back and fresh install is good though. Basically you have done enough damage by acting with knowing or understanding the consequences to really fix this. | 16:49 |
| Beldar | without* | 16:49 |
| jellf | Beldar : after reboot, get grub menu, select the ubuntu, black screen | 16:49 |

| holstein | Glorfindel: what works fine? | 16:50 |
| Glorfindel | the os | 16:50 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: then, what is the question? | 16:50 |
| Beldar | jellf, I'm not sure why, I have no experience with nvidia if that is the issue you might try a safe x boot from the recovery. | 16:50 |
| Glorfindel | How to get it to stop showing the error | 16:50 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: what to stop showing what? | 16:50 |
| jellf | Beldar : i'm not use X | 16:51 |

| trijntje | Istalantar: you can use alacarte for that | 16:51 |
| Beldar | jellf, Ah so no console on the grub boot is the issue? | 16:51 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: i oppologize if you have already done so.. please open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the results | 16:51 |

| jellf | Beldar : do you know where the ubuntu crash log? | 16:52 |
| salec | hey guys, I'm having a problem with my ubuntu server in which the following morning after nobody has interacted with it via ssh or web, it becomes non-responsive. the system is still powered on, but I cannot connect to it at all, not via terminal or web. Is there any way to determine whether or not the system went into suspend, had a kernel hang, or what? | 16:52 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: no.. make me a new one, please.. run the command again. | 16:53 |
| wheatthin | salec, try pinging your modem/router, and if that doesn't respond reboot router | 16:53 |
| Glorfindel | I'm on it | 16:53 |
| salec | wheatthin: it has network connectivity. I can verify that by connecting to the ipmi module of the system. Ipmi says everything is fine, the system is powered and no event logs. But it's not responsive when I try to remote in | 16:54 |
| Beldar | jellf, Yes I understand now, why would you have mentioned nvidia it is not relevant except I did ask about graphic drivers. The fact you are nrunning just a console should have been in that first black screen issue, without it we think you have X | 16:54 |
| salec | It seems like it's a stall, but I did find that if I send it a ctrl-alt-delete, the system reboots | 16:54 |
| Glorfindel | holstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7701408/ | 16:58 |
| Beldar | jellf, In the end you have used a strange method of install an old release of 12.04 rather than the 12.04 release, and we have not even got to how you installed. | 16:58 |

| Beldar | pavan, With a 3rd party usb Ethernet device it would be unusual for ubuntu to have any drivers, it will work or not work in general. Have you checked it to be linux compliant? | 17:15 |

| pavan | Beldar, Is there any alternative or Do I need to drop in trying this? | 17:21 |
| Beldar | pavan, If this device does not work It probably wont is what I think, but this is an opinion. I have one myself that does, I got it on amazon and it was listed as working in linux it just plugs and works, and was cheap. That is all the help I can really give. | 17:21 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | pavan, another alternative is to just Google your make/model of usb ethernet device and linux drivers | 17:21 |

| DanteS1nfern0 | If there is one already .deb'd then your good to go, if not you may have to compile from src | 17:22 |
| Overand | belal: How did you prepare your USB key for isntallation? | 17:22 |
| Beldar | pavan, Is the Ethernet plug broken on the computer? I have an acerone that I needed the usb ethernet for, but i turned out to be a corrupt bios so I reloaded it and it works now. | 17:22 |
| DanteS1nfern0 | pavan, then again, for your device there may not be a 'nix driver for it | 17:23 |
| Glorfindel | you should put 14.04 on your usb stick, delal | 17:23 |
| belal | Overand ues as ubuntu website said | 17:23 |

| pavan | DanteS1nfern0, May I know how to install nix driver? | 17:26 |
| Overand | belal: Do you want to keep your data and your Windows 7 installation? | 17:26 |

| holstein | !steam | kekek i do and have.. | 17:28 |
| ubottu | kekek i do and have..: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 17:28 |

| holstein | steeph: explain "anymore".. | 17:32 |
| Overand | mentoc: OSS has fallen out of favor for a lot of reasons - right now, you're probably using Pulse Audio (daemon) attached to ALSA. | 17:33 |
| Overand | padsp will more or less 'fake' a /dev/dsp for the program you call with it. | 17:34 |

| Qweiop | holstein: Okay then.....One more ploblem My mouse pointer also keeps blinking whenever the CPU is working, you know, like something is loading or immediately after I click something. | 17:34 |
| mentoc | Overand: I think a peep-type app could be made with libpcap and some sort of even/sound producer | 17:34 |
| mentoc | event* | 17:35 |
| Overand | mentoc: It can get even wackier. One of my systems (not an ubuntu one) runs Jack Audio, through Alsa, and also pulse. It gets complicated. | 17:35 |

| jhutchins | pavan: Does dmesg correctly identify it when you connect it? | 17:55 |
| Beldar | steeph, Drive? do hyou mean a partition? | 17:56 |
| Beldar | steeph, Is it a ntfs format? | 17:56 |
| steeph | Beldar: No, the SSD is not showing in gparted or fdisk -l. And it's missing from BIOS after I have booted Ubuntu. (It comes back when I turn the PC off and on again.) | 17:57 |
| Beldar | steeph, Is it formatted as a ntfs and what is actually on it and how big is it, three questions here. | 17:58 |

| just4info | hey folks, one question: is there any open source pdf reader out there? | 17:58 |
| jhutchins | pavan: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man4/if_axe.4freebsd.html | 17:58 |
| holstein | 17:58 | |
| ubottu | The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) | 17:58 |
| Beldar | pavan, I see this manpage concerning the device. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man4/axe.4freebsd.html | 17:58 |
| holstein | just4info: if you want open, you should use an open format.. pdf can only be so "open source".. | 17:59 |
| just4info | holstein, well my problem is that i'm sitting infront of a 200 pages long pdf document where all important parts are marked red - and i'm colour blind | 18:00 |

| just4info | holstein, i'm looking for an option who to "replace" certain colour codes | 18:00 |
| jhutchins | pavan: axe should be in the kernel though. | 18:00 |
| holstein | just4info: you may prefer the actual adobe pdf reader.. | 18:00 |
| steeph | Beldar: It did contain one swap partition before the problem came up. I removed the partition in Windows created an NTFS partition. The problem stays the same. It contains no files. It's 32GB. | 18:01 |
| just4info | holstein, how that? does it offer some kind of option for that? | 18:01 |
| pavan | <jhutchins> Thank you. Now I'm trying the same. Let you know the results in few minutes. | 18:01 |

| holstein | just4info: i would just copy past the text, and do what i like with it.. or ask for a copy in a format that i can read.. or try one of many options for viewing and editing pdf's.. what have you tried? what is not meeting your needs? and how? | 18:02 |
| Beldar | steeph, can you in the terminal run sudo parted -l and pastebin the info. | 18:03 |
| steeph | Beldar: Yes, but since it only lists the drives that are working, I don't think it will be of any help. It's really the entire drive that is missing, not the partition. | 18:04 |
| just4info | holstein, i tried pretty much all i could think of, and everything came along with problems which couldn't be solved easily, that's why i thought about editing a pdf viewer on my own | 18:05 |
| Beldar | steeph, So let me get this straight, you come here for help not knowing what the issue is and refuse to follow some basic info search because you do not think it matters? | 18:06 |

| kdeder | if usb, realtek is the likely chipset on most? | 18:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | kdeder: not sure about 'most' but I have one with realtek, there /might/ be some atheros, etc., but those were older devices i was looking at.. | 18:26 |
| holstein | kdeder: i'll typically try and plug them into linux in person.. heres the issue.. i could say a certain model works in linux for me, but the chipsets can be changed.. and all the vendor has to do wi what they promised.. provide windows drivers.. | 18:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | yeah :/ i hate seeing in the chipset notes that it might be different in other models | 18:27 |

| Beldar | steeph, might just be a corrupted table, strange it shows in windows but not in ubuntu is all. | 19:16 |
| Beldar | mark06, Can you define this better I never use that app, " software center still displays there ghost repos" | 19:17 |
| Beldar | mark06, I think what your issue is that the software center may show stuff not available without a specific repo open, is this correct? | 19:18 |
| steeph | Beldar: But shouldn't it show in Ubuntu regardless of the table? I mean, I can't even create a new table in Ubuntu. That's what I find strange. Even the BIOS/UEFI doesn't show it after Ubuntu was booted. | 19:20 |
| Beldar | steeph, That would be my assumption, however you only have one gpt HD as of now that we can see, gpt comes with that UEFI setup in windows installs. I think what is going on is the voodoo that you have done to have a msdos on one HD and gpt on another and a msdos install has just muddied things up, I would have no way myself in knowing how to get to the bottom of this. | 19:22 |
| trijntje | I just installed steam on ubuntu but it hangs 'updating steam' at 0kb. Why is it trying to update itself when I just installed the latest version from the repository, and why is it hanging? | 19:24 |

| mark06 | Beldar: not even the repo manager gui (edit > source repos...) shows the repo, only software center does | 19:26 |
| Beldar | mark06, So you are set? | 19:26 |
| mark06 | Beldar: I'm sorry but have you ever used it? if you don't know it.... | 19:26 |
| mark06 | Beldar: software center is an app manager just like apt or aptitude or synaptic | 19:27 |
| mark06 | Beldar: and it's not working, it's listing repos that have been removed from apt db way long back | 19:28 |
| steeph | Beldar: The GPT one came with the PC with Windows on it. That's the only reason why it's GPT. Right now I only use the data partition of it. But the problem persists without that disk. I didn't know I shouldn't use both on different disks. I never had a GPT disk before. | 19:28 |

| Beldar | mark06, Sorry read that as is clear. No the syntax you use is really confusing and to generalized, and he software center is a basic app, I know enough to understand it, kit is just a apt-get gui. | 19:28 |

| Beldar | mark06, All I can say is prove that point somehow. | 19:28 |
| mark06 | Beldar: would you kindly add me to your /ignore list? please, *I mean it* | 19:29 |
| OerHeks | mark06, make a screenshot please | 19:29 |
| mark06 | OerHeks: ok a sec, I'm trying to purge it.... | 19:29 |
| Beldar | mark06, done at my pleasure, dealing with inexperienced users is a hassle anyway. ;) | 19:29 |
| Beldar | and people who externalize blame | 19:30 |
| mark06 | OerHeks: first time it said it would remove ubuntu-desktop as well so I canceled it in the middle, but not now... reinstalled and will just try | 19:30 |
| * mark06 cross fingers | 19:30 | |
| Munster | mark06, a quick fix is to open the /etc/apt/sources.list with user permissions and place a # in front of said repos, then save the file and do an sudo apt-get update. | 19:31 |
| OerHeks | Munster, but that fix won't work, as PPA's are stored as a txt file in /etc/apr/sources.list.d folder | 19:32 |
| OerHeks | ppa-purge looks there | 19:32 |
| mark06 | Munster: I grep'ed for a repo's substring on /etc, everything was gone.... found matches only on sources.d or the like (an include dir, can't recall exact name) | 19:32 |
| Munster | OerHeks, oh should have scrolled up..din't realize it it's a ppa | 19:33 |
| OerHeks | unless he did add it the old way, then ppa purge cannot do anything | 19:33 |
| mark06 | OMG! not even purging software-center fixed it!!!! | 19:33 |
| Dwarf | Why doesn't ubuntu have irssi 0.8.16? | 19:33 |
| Munster | mark06, open the /etc/apt/sources.list.d and remove the ppa , perhaps | 19:34 |
| Pici | Dwarf: because it was released in May. | 19:35 |
| Dwarf | Your point being? | 19:35 |
| Beldar | steeph, I have not had the pleasure/pain of a UEFI bios as of yet. The manufacturers have their own versions of it and the safe boot so it is a bit of a conundrum for some. I did do a W8.1 reinstall on a friends computer (UEFI) easily done but no linux on it. | 19:35 |
| Pici | Dwarf: Ubuntu packages are rarely updated after release unless they are major security updates. | 19:35 |
| Pici | !latest | Dwarf | 19:35 |
| ubottu | Dwarf: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 19:35 |

| djQuery_ | jhutchins: I am on 14.04 | 19:55 |
| jhutchins | minos__1: It's been patched, see the release notes. | 19:56 |
| jhutchins | minos__1: There's a change in a minor part of the version number, that's how almost every distribution handled it. | 19:56 |
| minos__1 | jhutchins: It says built on Feb 4 2014 | 19:56 |
| Pici | minos__1: What makes you think it is vulnerable to heartbleed? | 19:57 |

| jhutchins | djQuery_: I've had the fonts mess up, stayed that way for a while then routine updates fixed it. | 20:03 |
| jhutchins | djQuery_: Yeah, same thing you describe, all the menus and titlebars were messed up. | 20:04 |
| Pici | minos__1: Heartbleed was because of an openssl vulnerability, not one actually in openvpn. The version of openssl that that post is the version available before the fix. | 20:04 |
| djQuery_ | jhutchins: this was working fine then closed xchat and reopened it and all of a sudden cant read it anymore | 20:04 |
| minos__1 | oh i see, I didnt know if it was linked or not, thanks | 20:04 |
| mark06 | minos__1: I don't remember the exact versions affected but I think it's from 1.0.1 on... it's very unlikely that it's not patched already.... but there were more flaws discovered after that.... also probably patched as well... just check the dependency on openssl and what version is it.... | 20:04 |
| jhutchins | djQuery_: reboot, check for updates. Cross your fingers. | 20:05 |

| lamer | hello, first time here and i've had ubuntu server running on a little fit-pc for a bunch of years | 20:20 |
| gpaXding | I got an external harddisk on usb (sdb) , i did an ntfsresize of the disk ( was initially formatted by a win xp machine ) to shrink its partition size... to give space for another partition and file system. I did a checlk to see how much data it had and shrunk it to a size to fit all data , then used fdisk to delet and set new partition size to slightly igger than the ntfs resize size ( as someone sugested on the web, set it to partition typ | 20:20 |
| gpaXding | e 7... and wrotew to the partition table... still the system seems not able to mount the partitions sayiong missing ntfs signature ... im pretty sure ntfsresiize did its jkob so im intressted in figurei ng how to manage to fix the last step so the partition can be mounted again | 20:20 |
| lamer | i'm on 10.04.4 LTS but that's as far as my cpu will let me upgrade | 20:20 |

| slimalighieri | hello | 20:37 |
| ki7mt | lamer, if I recall, those CPU's are Natonal/AMD or Cyrix, all of which were under x86 (32bit). I'd have to diggin on the kernel, but | 20:38 |
| ki7mt | it's should not present too big of an issue. | 20:38 |
| lamer | Geode LX 800 is the cpu it says | 20:38 |
| jhutchins | Dave77: Never heard of mythtv? | 20:38 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Sure, there is help . pastebin the outputs of -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- so we get the errors in context. | 20:39 |
| jhutchins | !mythtv | 20:39 |
| ubottu | mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv | 20:39 |
| lamer | and when I tried to upgrade to the latest it says i am unable | 20:39 |
| lamer | so i think im stuck with 10.04 until its put to rest | 20:39 |
| lamer | but i dont mind as its great for just a web server and irc | 20:40 |
| lamer | basic stuff | 20:40 |
| lamer | but my original question was should I keep updating | 20:41 |
| lamer | when it wants to update inux-generic linux-image-generic | 20:41 |
| lamer | it holds them back | 20:41 |
| lamer | but should I dist-upgrade | 20:41 |
| lamer | or would i risk the stability | 20:42 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Thanks - update is fine, here is upgrade http://hastebin.com/umeweboqep.vbs and then the install -f option http://hastebin.com/soyisepivi.vbs | 20:42 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | lamer | 20:42 |
| ubottu | lamer: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 20:42 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Look'n . | 20:42 |
| ki7mt | lamer, Yes, if you want to upgrade the kernel updates, dist-upgrade. | 20:42 |
| lamer | ok | 20:42 |
| lamer | sometimes it has made some programs run flaky | 20:42 |
| lamer | like bitlbee | 20:43 |
| lamer | but anyway, thanks you guys are great and i'm looking to add more devices to my ubuntu collection | 20:44 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: And I also get that same 'No module named 'site'' error coming up when I do a few other things in terminal (such as trying to look at cpufreq with powersave) | 20:44 |
| Dave77 | jhutchins: used mythtv years ago on windows.. didn't think much to it | 20:44 |
| lamer | so i'll be back | 20:44 |
| ki7mt | lamer, I see the LX 800 is being run on Arch, Debian and many others. config.guess may be coming back with i586, but the current instruction set supposedly was patched for i686, it should run on later kernels. | 20:44 |
| lamer | hmm | 20:45 |
| Dave77 | .. not interested in media centre look. are there no other TV apps on linux? | 20:45 |
| lamer | so should I try to upgrade the kernel on this thing? | 20:45 |
| lamer | it might give me the "unable to upgrade" message | 20:45 |
| Dave77 | I want to ditch windoze and use desktop linux but the apps are not there | 20:45 |
| lamer | but i'll let you know what happens | 20:45 |
| djQuery | jhutchins, well was able to apply any updates via terminal (don't know if anything actually installed couldn't read it) reboot and its working again | 20:46 |
| djQuery | jhutchins, thanks | 20:46 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: System not to happy with python3 huh ? .. Let's poke at it and see about --purge/(re-)install. what returns from -> apt-cache policy python3-uno , dpkg -l python3-uno <- ?? | 20:49 |

| jhutchins | Dave77: The point is that most of that software was developed on Linux, including mythtv. Doesn't sound like you have an actual software problem. | 20:51 |

| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers.

| ToAruShiroiNeko | On ubuntu I am trying to move all files and folders under /var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 to /var/www/ how can I do this? | 20:52 |
| genii | ToAruShiroiNeko: Probably something like: cd /var/www ..then sudo mv magento-whatever/* . | 20:54 |
| smokie | to enable ftp on my ubuntu server, do i have to install vsftp or is there something i can do localy? | 20:56 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, you can use a link (ln -s), you edit your virtual host file to point to magneto-.. .. .. or use .htaccess to redirect, or manually move the files, lots of options, #ubuntu-server is probably best for server config questions. | 20:56 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: "iFR python3-uno " says we need to work on it to help the package manager. What results -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure python3-uno <- ?? | 20:56 |
| bekks | smokie: for havin an ftp server, you need to install one. | 20:56 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: python3-uno is broken or not fully installed. | 20:57 |
| smokie | bekks, so like vsftp? or is there something else? | 20:57 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | ki7mt its easier to just move | 20:57 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | its far too long to type or bother | 20:57 |
| bekks | smokie: vsftpd does a pretty good job. | 20:57 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, easy is not always the right choice, but that's up to you as the admin. | 20:57 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | it would require dividing magento content into two | 20:57 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I dont think that would even work | 20:58 |
| smokie | bekks, thanks dude | 20:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | sudo mv magento-whatever/* . doesnt work as it complains about full folders | 20:58 |
| es | hi, /i've got an intel 7260HMWDTX1 wifi chip and it has issues holding a connection in 14.04 | 20:58 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: OK, Let's bump it up a notch -> sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-uno <- . | 20:59 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, for example. on my ubuntu-mirror, the data is in /home/<mirror-username>, like 200GB of data, I simply link it to /var/www/ubuntu and all my boxes access the packages from the server that way. Just a thought. | 21:00 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Had tried that earlier, just redid and here's the output http://hastebin.com/beqisusigo.vbs | 21:00 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: look'n . | 21:00 |
| aledzadza | is there an easy way to get a graph over your network trafic ? | 21:01 |
| k1l | aledzadza: system load indicator for unity | 21:02 |
| ki7mt | aledzadza, bmon, iftop, tcptrack, just to name a few. | 21:03 |
| ki7mt | aledzadza, iptraf is another really nice tool also. | 21:04 |
| svip | One of my partition devices disappeared! I can no longer find /dev/sdc1 | 21:05 |
| holstein | svip: partition devices? you mean, a hard drive? | 21:05 |
| svip | holstein: Basically, yes. | 21:06 |
| ki7mt | aledzadza, I've not used this one, but it looks cool: Monitorix | 21:06 |
| zubuntu | hi there | 21:06 |
| svip | holstein: But I had /dev/sdc1 mounted, suddenly I got an input/output error reading/writing to the disk. | 21:06 |
| zubuntu | can somebody help me to install openoffice 4.1 pls ? | 21:06 |
| svip | I then noticed it was gone from /dev | 21:06 |
| holstein | svip: you can look in "sudo fdisk -l" | 21:06 |
| zubuntu | i downloaded by the command : wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.0/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz | 21:07 |
| holstein | zubuntu: sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 21:07 |
| zubuntu | after that when i do this command : tar -xvfz Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz | 21:07 |
| zubuntu | it gives error no such direction | 21:07 |
| zubuntu | holstein: no libreoffice | 21:07 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you want libreoffice, not open office.. its the modern fork, basically, of openoffice | 21:07 |
| zubuntu | i want openoffice | 21:07 |
| svip | holstein: Nope, that doesn't list it either. | 21:07 |
| zubuntu | i know what i want holstein | 21:07 |
| holstein | zubuntu: libreoffice is actually the one i think you are seeking.. | 21:07 |
| Hammerhead | ARRRGGGG Displaylink drivers in 14.04?? I am staring at 2 monitors both have green screens but for the last day I have been trying to get the config right and still am having trouble. anyone have multiple monitors with displaylink adapters? | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | can somebody help me to install openoffice pls ? | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | error is this | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | when i try to extract the tar.gz | 21:08 |
| aledzadza | ki7mt: but can i show it on my homepage? | 21:08 |
| svip | holstein: I can see my /dev/sda*, /dev/sdb* and /dev/sdd* (which I am not sure what is). | 21:08 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you will ask the creators and maintainers of the file how to use what they create. otherwise,i suggest a PPA | 21:08 |
| zubuntu | http://askubuntu.com/questions/471437/unable-to-install-apache-openoffice-4-1-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 21:09 |
| zubuntu | i am trying to do these commands | 21:09 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Humm, Let's clean out the archives, remove the control files, and rebuid the data bases -> sudo apt-get clean , sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists , sudo mkdir -pv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial , sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- . | 21:09 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you really should be using libreoffice.. there is no reason to use openoffice instead, and libreoffice is included in the repos | 21:09 |
| Bashing-om | rebuild* | 21:10 |
| holstein | zubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/471437/unable-to-install-apache-openoffice-4-1-on-ubuntu-14-04 does seem to outline how to do it.. thats what i would use | 21:10 |
| ki7mt | aledzadza, You'd ahve to look at each app, maybe export the data and re-render it, or find web-based tools to pull and render the data your after. | 21:10 |
| s2013 | how do you copy and paste a file? | 21:10 |
| s2013 | am i doing something wrong? i righ tclick and copied a file | 21:10 |
| s2013 | but paste is inactive | 21:10 |
| svip | holstein: All my other partitions are working fine. | 21:10 |
| zubuntu | holstein: so which commands are suitable ? | 21:11 |
| holstein | zubuntu: just download the tarball for your architecture, and you can right click to extract to the .deb.. then, you can click the deb to install | 21:11 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Ok, doing! | 21:11 |
| holstein | zubuntu: they all look "suitable".. though, i prefer, and suggest "sudo apt-get install libreoffice".. | 21:11 |
| zubuntu | holstein: :p | 21:12 |
| zubuntu | i think u dont understand me | 21:12 |
| zubuntu | i am old fashioned a bit | 21:12 |
| zubuntu | and i want the feel of 10.10 | 21:12 |
| zubuntu | with gnome classic and openoffice | 21:12 |
| zubuntu | not unity bullshit | 21:13 |
| zubuntu | or libreoffice | 21:13 |
| holstein | zubuntu: then, ask for support with the creators of the appication.. which is now, libreoffice | 21:13 |
| holstein | !language | zubuntu | 21:13 |
| ubottu | zubuntu: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 21:13 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Ok, done! Same output from sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:13 |
| ki7mt | zubuntu, as holstein said, you should consider using Libreoffice, more info here: http://www.howtogeek.com/187663/openoffice-vs.-libreoffice-whats-the-difference-and-which-should-you-use/ | 21:13 |
| zubuntu | grrrrr | 21:13 |
| holstein | zubuntu: here at the openoffice ones.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.0/binaries/en-US/ | 21:14 |
| zubuntu | guys why dont u just help me to install openoffice pls ? | 21:14 |
| holstein | zubuntu: i *am* | 21:14 |
| holstein | zubuntu: but, you misunderstand what libreoffice is. its *is* the openoffice that you seek | 21:14 |
| holstein | zubuntu: but, if you still want openoffice, which, there is no reason for you to prefer it, you can get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.0/binaries/en-US/ | 21:14 |
| holstein | zubuntu: if you have issues with the package that they provide, let them konw.. they are not ubuntu packages.. otherwise, download, extract, click on *.deb and install | 21:15 |
| Darkwell | hello there | 21:15 |
| zubuntu | hm | 21:15 |
| zubuntu | m@THINK:~/Downloads/en-US/DEBS$ dpkg -i *.deb | 21:16 |
| zubuntu | dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 21:16 |
| zubuntu | huh ? | 21:16 |
| holstein | zubuntu: yes.. installing applications needs that | 21:17 |
| domsson | Trying to mounta CIFS share, I get "mount error(95): Operation not supported" which doesn't help me too much. How can I go from here? | 21:17 |
| domsson | *mount a | 21:17 |
| holstein | zubuntu: but, you can do *exactly* this.. download the compressed fil you want from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.0/binaries/en-US/ ..right click and extract it. then, just click on the .deb file | 21:17 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Think'n as to the why ... 3rd party software ?? ... lemme check what is supposed to be installed .. I be back. | 21:17 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Nothing outside of the software centre. | 21:17 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you need sudo dpkg above.. | 21:18 |
| zubuntu | holstein: i already downloaded | 21:18 |
| zubuntu | why cant i do it by command ? | 21:18 |
| ki7mt | sudo | 21:18 |
| Darkwell | I got a prob mounting an external usb disk partition (sdb1) , i used ntfsresize and shrunk it to make space for other partitions, ntfsresize shrunk without any errors and i used fdisk to delete old partition table and add new partition alsightly bigger than the ntfsresize size. still Im not able to mount this partitions its reporting missing ntfs signature ... what have I missed to do to finish the resize completely ? | 21:18 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you need root to install.. or, just open the terminal and install supported and functional libreoffice that is supported and funcitonal and works well | 21:19 |
| Darkwell | made sure to se the partition to type 7 , also btw | 21:19 |
| zubuntu | done :p | 21:19 |
| holstein | zubuntu: there is no reason for you to use openoffice.. you have no legitimate reason to prefer it.. it is only complicating your situation, and not supported here | 21:19 |
| domsson | holstein, he is old fashioned, so I guess his reason is that he wants to stick with exactly what he's used to. | 21:20 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: "1:4.2.4-0ubuntu2 [security]: amd64 i386" is what is supposed to be installed. lemme do a bit more checking. | 21:20 |
| holstein | sure. and thats libreoffice.. its actually *more* like the old openoffice than apache openoffice.. | 21:20 |
| ki7mt | +1 | 21:20 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Thanks! | 21:20 |
| domsson | Yeah, I'm all for LibreOffice, am using it myself. | 21:21 |
| ki7mt | If it did not have the App name in the title bar, you couldnt' tell the difference for the most part | 21:21 |
| holstein | if the team could have taken the name, they would have.. | 21:21 |
| zubuntu | thx thx thx | 21:21 |
| zubuntu | done | 21:21 |
| zubuntu | but OO icons are bigger than libreoffice icons | 21:22 |
| holstein | zubuntu: enjoy.. if you are interested in old openoffice, try libreoffice sometime | 21:22 |
| zubuntu | weird | 21:22 |
| zubuntu | holstein: i am fine with this :p | 21:22 |
| holstein | zubuntu: icon sizes can change from release to release.. | 21:22 |
| ethan | hello | 21:22 |
| === ethan is now known as Guest97491 | ||
| zubuntu | is it old ? | 21:23 |
| zubuntu | i mean doesnt they upgrade it ? | 21:23 |
| holstein | zubuntu: whats your question, friend? | 21:23 |
| holstein | zubuntu: is what old? | 21:23 |
| zubuntu | openoffice | 21:23 |
| zubuntu | dont they upgrade it sometime ? | 21:24 |
| ki7mt | omg | 21:24 |
| holstein | zubuntu: libreoffice is current supported. and in the repos. so if you are worried about recievin updates, thats the one you want | 21:24 |
| holstein | zubuntu: the facts are here.. http://www.howtogeek.com/187663/openoffice-vs.-libreoffice-whats-the-difference-and-which-should-you-use/ as ki7mt shared | 21:24 |
| zubuntu | hm | 21:25 |
| holstein | i mean, if you literally are just going by the name, im only suggesting that you actually try the products. libreoffice is the most like older openoffice.. | 21:26 |
| Guest97491 | I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I am having. After I make a live usb using dd I can not use it. It says it is a read only and gparted does not detect it, but the disks application does. I was wondering if anyone has a fix for this. I have tried changing the partition table and deleting the partition then making a new one. | 21:26 |
| domsson | I did a research on the topic just a month ago. Result, short version: go with LibreOffice. | 21:26 |
| === blindsight is now known as Guest68690 | ||
| MonkeyDust | zubuntu drop openoffice, use libreoffice | 21:27 |
| holstein | zubuntu: i literally am only suggesting that you try them both, and make the decision your self.. or do the research.. there is more to it than just the name, which was not owned by the team | 21:27 |
| zubuntu | i will try openoffice | 21:28 |
| holstein | zubuntu: you are using openoffice... | 21:28 |
| MonkeyDust | zubuntu why don't you try libreoffice? | 21:29 |
| zubuntu | MonkeyDust: i alreadt tried it :p | 21:29 |
| zubuntu | already* | 21:29 |
| MonkeyDust | zubuntu great, what goes wrong? | 21:29 |
| zubuntu | lol | 21:29 |
| zubuntu | i miss the past sometimes | 21:29 |
| MonkeyDust | the paste? | 21:30 |
| Dave77 | are there any utils like cpu-z on ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| holstein | zubuntu: libreoffice is more like the past openoffice | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, the past, the old days | 21:30 |
| zubuntu | holstein: i have noticed that | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | zubuntu time to move on, head for the future | 21:31 |
| zubuntu | well | 21:31 |
| zubuntu | this is not future | 21:31 |
| zubuntu | future is using microsoft office in ubuntu :p | 21:31 |
| zubuntu | and compatible with pc | 21:31 |
| ki7mt | This one will surely win the daily Pandoras box award | 21:32 |
| MonkeyDust | zubuntu i guess ypou just lost everybody's sympathy and will to assist you | 21:32 |
| mikeg3 | Hi I am having difficulty installing Ubuntu…I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F with 2GB RAM with Windows Vista already installed. Two basic issues: (1) the GRUB install failed, and (2) having trouble with older nVidia GForce 6150SE graphics card and getting video to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance… | 21:32 |
| zubuntu | lol MonkeyDust | 21:32 |
| holstein | microsoft is welcome to release what they like for linux.. but, lets please continue this is #ubuntu-offtopic.. thanks, zubuntu | 21:32 |
| holstein | mikeg3: can you get "video to work" with the live CD? in nomodeset? or any other way? | 21:33 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Try -> dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python3-uno , sudo apt-get install python3-uno , sudo apt-get check <- . | 21:34 |
| ki7mt | mikeg3, IIn the past I suggested using EasyBCD for dual booting Vista and Ubuntu, but was told it's muddling the boot, but its works for me, you may want to looking into using it. | 21:34 |
| holstein | mikeg3: i would just force grub to install after the os installation.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair you can share errors if any, then move on to graphics support | 21:35 |

| ntiy | I am building some stuff from source and I get the following error: "/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `../lib/.libs/libcurl.so'" Does anybody know what it means? | 21:36 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: look'n . | 21:36 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, try using -lcurl v.s. passing libcurl.so | 21:38 |
| domsson | Even the basic `mount.cifs -o guest //ip-addr/share /mnt/share` gives me `mount error(95): Operation not supported` - what could possibly be wrong with it? | 21:38 |
| rypervenche | If my netmask is coming up incorrectly on my Ubuntu server and my interfaces file is set up correctly, where would I look to fix this? | 21:39 |
| domsson | (of course, 'ip-addr' is being replaced with an actual ip-address) | 21:39 |
| _2_daniboo | hello | 21:39 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, and, make sure you have libcurl3 / curl installed. | 21:40 |
| ntiy | ki7mt: let me try... | 21:41 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Don't know yet ! .. I am hampered as on my system "sysop@1310mini:~$ dpkg -l python3-uno ->>dpkg-query: no packages found matching python3-uno" Think'n some more. | 21:41 |
| ntiy | ki7mt: problem is that it is libcurl itself what I am building | 21:41 |
| ntiy | so I am a little confused -- why is is trying to link against libcurl while building libcurl... | 21:42 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, to answer the question, the build looks to be --static, and your linking against a shared object ".so". Using -lcurl should pick up the .a file or the static library. | 21:42 |
| _2_daniboo | Hi am new | 21:42 |
| ntiy | ki7mt: I configured it with "--enable-static=no" | 21:43 |

| NightHawk877 | join #ubuntu-touch | 21:43 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, Are you following a guide somwhere or something? | 21:43 |
| rypervenche | Is /etc/network/interfaces the only place that my network's netmask may be located? | 21:43 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, and just for background, why build it v.s. just installing the repo versions? | 21:44 |
| ntiy | not really. I mean it's supposed to be an easy install: CC=cc ./configure --enable-static=no --with-zlib=/home/trn/zlib/1.2.8/lib --prefix=/home/trn/curl/7.37.0" and then "make" | 21:44 |
| ntiy | ki7mt: it's an hpc cluster machine and we build everything from scratch here | 21:45 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, Is this a Ubuntu server? | 21:46 |
| ntiy | nope :-\ | 21:46 |
| holstein | ntiy: so, you are not using ubuntu? or ubuntu packages? | 21:46 |
| heap_ | hi i cant click on anything in unity, keyboard works, i can use tab for apps and typing.. but mouse cursor is moving but no reaction, idea? | 21:46 |
| zubuntu | how can i install adobe reader ? | 21:47 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, If not Ubuntu, are you sure your asking in the right place :-) | 21:47 |
| holstein | !pdf | zubuntu | 21:47 |
| ubottu | zubuntu: The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) | 21:47 |
| ntiy | ki7mt: yep. it's still linux and ubuntu channel has many knowledgeable people :) | 21:47 |
| ki7mt | zubuntu, see info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89127/how-do-i-install-adobe-acrobat-reader | 21:47 |
| holstein | zubuntu: i would try one from the repos, and if that doest work, you can get adobe reader from adobe.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/89127/how-do-i-install-adobe-acrobat-reader | 21:48 |
| ntiy | what difference does a particular distro makes in this context? | 21:48 |
| ki7mt | ntiy, But the channel is pretty strick on being Ubuntu related, you may find help in ##linux | 21:48 |
| holstein | ntiy: surely, you can see how this is not the proper avenue for support for what you are doing.. i would try and contacing the creators of the software you are having issues with | 21:48 |

| ki7mt | vimes1984, git is in the repos, why use the PPA ? | 21:50 |

| heap_ | holstein: i got dialog that something in spotyfi some helper crashed but mouse is still inactive. well i can move etc but no reaction on click | 21:51 |
| holstein | vimes1984: sure, and thats not the issue.. the issue is, its not an ubuntu source.. | 21:51 |
| vimes1984 | no the issue is that the ubuntu source is 4 version behind | 21:52 |
| holstein | heap_: what flash are you using? | 21:52 |
| holstein | vimes1984: thats "as advertised" though.. its not a rolling release.. the versions of most everything are frozen like that.. | 21:52 |
| heap_ | holstein: no idea, is there any connection with flash? | 21:52 |
| vimes1984 | git isn't | 21:52 |
| vimes1984 | git is behind | 21:52 |
| holstein | vimes1984: you can try building git yourself, and that may be the easiest | 21:52 |
| asturel | anyone knows why is this happen? http://eeew.tk/u/WQ9qEg.png the window becomes invisible until i click it and go back to 'desktop view' or whatever this | 21:53 |
| vimes1984 | bugger that is what i didn't want to do | 21:53 |
| heap_ | holstein: i meant spotify client application not over web | 21:53 |
| vimes1984 | ok so on to my other issue | 21:53 |
| vimes1984 | i can't remove git either | 21:53 |
| holstein | vimes1984: most everything in ubuntu is frozen. and not updated like that | 21:53 |
| zubuntu | bad package error | 21:53 |
| ki7mt | vimes1984, yes, all packages are, most are frozen at the Debian import freeze, this has been the methodology for a long time. | 21:53 |
| vimes1984 | so what do i do | 21:54 |
| holstein | heap_: you can try running the spotify client from the terminal and see if there are any error messages that help | 21:54 |
| vimes1984 | is building my own the only way? | 21:54 |
| holstein | vimes1984: you can build whatever version you like, friend.. | 21:54 |
| heap_ | holstein: but mouse doesnt react for whole unity | 21:54 |
| ki7mt | vimes1984, as stated several time, contact the PPA maintainer for assistance on install their package. | 21:54 |
| holstein | vimes1984: you can look for another ppa,or offer to help maintain the one you are using, after you determine the ppa version is "bad" | 21:54 |
| heap_ | holstein: i cant click in ff, terminal and so on | 21:54 |
| vimes1984 | ok | 21:55 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | is there a way to extract magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz to a specific folder rather than magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 subdir | 21:55 |
| vimes1984 | cool | 21:55 |
| vimes1984 | thanks | 21:55 |
| holstein | heap_: you said, thats after the spotify crash | 21:55 |
| trism | vimes1984: you could update to 14.04, it has 1.9.1 | 21:55 |
| heap_ | holstein: i exited spotify client and now it works. | 21:55 |
| heap_ | holstein: part of spotify, some spotify helper or so | 21:55 |
| holstein | heap_: so, is spotify causing the breakage, as you have implied, or no? | 21:56 |
| heap_ | holstein: yes, spotify ;) | 21:56 |
| heap_ | holstein: i did few random click inside spotify client and some spotify helper crashed, client was running but mouse stoped to react in the whole unity. after i killed spotify client it started work properly | 21:57 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, you could try: mkdir magneto-sample-data && tar xf magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz -C magneto-sample-data --strip-components 1 | 21:57 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | what would that do? | 21:58 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, makes a directory, and untars the file to it, or shoild do anyway. | 21:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | all i want to do is omve all files and folders in a subdir to some place else and I am reading manual after another | 21:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I cant believe this is this complicated in linux | 21:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | ki7mt I want to extract it to an existing dir | 21:59 |
| heap_ | holstein: i must block it somehow | 21:59 |
| baddin | haw | 21:59 |
| ki7mt | then change the name of the target directory to what you want. | 21:59 |
| ki7mt | Totar xf magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz -C <directory-name> --strip-components 1 | 22:00 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, sri: tar xf magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz -C <directory-name> --strip-components 1 | 22:00 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, or extract then mv the folder | 22:01 |
| heap_ | holstein: another thing when i did upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 today, it crashed in between then finished somehow. in logs are around 30 packages marked as Errors were encountered while processing: ... distro booted successfuly but no idea if any impact is there | 22:01 |
| holstein | heap_: i would fix *all* of those, and expect issues til that is resolved.. | 22:02 |
| holstein | heap_: i would run "sudo apt-get update" and look for errors, and address them. the same for "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 22:02 |
| macscam1 | when a command line program opens a browser, it is always firefox .... how do i change this to chrome? | 22:02 |
| holstein | macscam1: i set my systemwide browser choice.. you can try sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser | 22:03 |
| ki7mt | macscam1, Dash >> System Settings >> Details .. Use Web pull down | 22:03 |
| macscam1 | ki7mt actually it is already chromium there | 22:04 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: I'm having no luck googling for similar problems, they all just focus on python, talking about version conflicts. | 22:04 |
| heap_ | holstein: well after broken update i did reboot, then when i did apt-get update and so on no errors were displayed anymore | 22:04 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: Playing catch up from my last. Food for thought -> " PYTHONPATH is used by the Python interpreter to find out where to look for modules to import. ". | 22:05 |
| Matml | Bashing-om:echo of it is blank | 22:05 |
| ki7mt | macscam1, ok, try: xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium.desktop But the revious should work, mybe log out and log back int to take affect. | 22:05 |
| holstein | heap_: ok.. specifically run the 2 commands i gave.. run them again if you did already. you can pastebin.. | 22:05 |
| holstein | !paste | 22:05 |

| macscam1 | ki7mt i have logged out many times since changing it, doesnt work | 22:06 |
| holstein | macscam1: setting with sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser doesnt help? | 22:06 |
| ki7mt | macscam1, Sir, commabd was wrong, use: xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-browser.desktop | 22:06 |
| ki7mt | or what holstein just said, that was next on the list :-) | 22:07 |

| holstein | es: just try it | 22:09 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | ki7mt I cant mv the folder | 22:10 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I dont understand why not | 22:10 |
| === Guest65482 is now known as Player_ | ||
| holstein | ToAruShiroiNeko: ask a question.. "i cant mv the folder" is not a question | 22:10 |
| domsson | I get horrible flickering of GUI elements (mainly in the browser, but also gedit and basically everywhere...) when something "happens" on screen: scrolling (most notably), going through picture galleries on the web, moving a line of text up/down in gedit, ... - playing videos is without problems though. What could cause this? | 22:10 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I use sudo mv /var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/* /var/www/ | 22:10 |
| heap_ | holstein: but this is snippet of apt-term.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7702911 | 22:11 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | mv: cannot move ‘/var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/media’ to ‘/var/www/media’: Directory not empty | 22:11 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | mv: cannot move ‘/var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/skin’ to ‘/var/www/skin’: Directory not empty | 22:11 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | thats kind of the point. I want you to move the not empty folder -_- | 22:11 |
| macscam1 | ki7mt thank you i changed the settings for x-www-browser and gnome-www-browser and opened a new terminal and tried the command, stil firefox though | 22:11 |
| ki7mt | macscam1, You may need to log out, then back in, if that's not working, something else is going on. | 22:12 |
| macscam1 | ki7mt ok figured it out, turns out the program was hard-coded to run firefox | 22:12 |
| macscam1 | thanks for the help | 22:12 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | ki7mt why would I be encountering this problem? | 22:13 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, mv -f to force it to move | 22:13 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: probably means you already have a /var/www/media with stuff in it and it might get overwritten | 22:13 |
| ki7mt | ToAruShiroiNeko, no idea why your getting that | 22:13 |

| ToAruShiroiNeko | Ben64 that is correct | 22:13 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Ta! | 22:13 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | and that is the desired outcome | 22:13 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I want it to overwrite anything when relevant | 22:13 |
| holstein | ToAruShiroiNeko: then, just empty the destination | 22:13 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | it is a merge | 22:14 |
| holstein | ToAruShiroiNeko: you are not asking that with the command you give | 22:14 |
| holstein | ToAruShiroiNeko: mv is not merge.. | 22:14 |
| holstein | ToAruShiroiNeko: the mv force will overwrite, as well | 22:14 |
| ki7mt | +1 mv -f will do it, but nuke the existing folder | 22:14 |

| ToAruShiroiNeko | oh | 22:22 |
| bekks | Would have saved you hours, I guess. | 22:22 |

| ToAruShiroiNeko | other has sample data | 22:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I need to overwrite the default magento files with the sample data files | 22:58 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: can you do this without using 20 lines of text? just very simply tell me what you want | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | ToAruShiroiNeko /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 >> /var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | just a typo | 22:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | probably /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 >> /var/www/ | 22:59 |
| Ben64 | then "mv /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 /var/www/" | 22:59 |
| Ben64 | but i bet thats not what you really want | 22:59 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | mv: cannot move ‘/var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0’ to ‘/var/www/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0’: Directory not empty | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | let me know when you figure it out and i'll help you | 23:00 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I have figured out what I need to do exactly | 23:00 |
| Ben64 | then say it | 23:00 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I explained | 23:01 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | let me explain again | 23:01 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I want to move all files and folders in /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 to /var/www/ | 23:01 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | it should overwrite /var/www/ if relevant but shouldnt delete anything if it cant overwrite | 23:01 |
| ki7mt | sudo cp -Ru /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/* /var/www/ | 23:01 |
| Ben64 | so you want everything that is *inside* of /var/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0 to be in /var/www ? | 23:02 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | in windows this would be a cut and paste | 23:02 |
| Ben64 | you're making it so much more difficult than it needs to be | 23:02 |
| heap_ | Ben64: pls any idea? | 23:04 |
| Ben64 | heap_: why you keep pinging me : / | 23:04 |
| heap_ | just need to be sure if i have to really trash this installation or if i can run it. | 23:04 |
| heap_ | Ben64: :> cuz u were partly in this upgrade conversation. | 23:04 |
| Ben64 | try fixing your sources and updating and dist-upgrading | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | if that doesn't work, then it's broken forever | 23:05 |
| heap_ | Ben64: when i did everyhing looks fine. | 23:05 |
| heap_ | no errors anymore | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | pastebin "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then | 23:05 |
| phroa | this might be a text wall and I'm not even sure this is the best place to ask. If not, sorry. I'm going through the install process for OpenChange and after compiling and installing Samba it would appear everything is in order... except samba-tool isn't a program that exists. samba seems to be relatively installed where it should be according to the install steps. I'm pretty certain I did | 23:06 |
| phroa | everything to the letter in the install guide | 23:06 |
| === Player is now known as Player_ | ||
| phroa | what more information can I provide? | 23:07 |
| heap_ | Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7702908/ | 23:08 |
| Ben64 | heap_: you still have saucy there | 23:08 |
| OerHeks | !info samba-tools | phroa, sounds like a typo | 23:08 |
| ubottu | phroa, sounds like a typo: Package samba-tools does not exist in trusty | 23:08 |
| === rafael is now known as Guest39722 | ||
| OerHeks | oh | 23:08 |
| heap_ | Ben64: it was before i removed it... but when i removed and did apt-get output is the same. no errors. | 23:08 |
| phroa | I built it | 23:09 |
| causative | what kind of problems should I expect if I use iptables and networkmanager together? the iptables tutorial warns there might be conflicts | 23:09 |
| heap_ | Ben64: just tired to do another pastebin. | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | !infosamba-tools precise | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | !info samba-tools precise | 23:09 |
| ubottu | samba-tools (source: samba): Samba testing utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.10 (precise), package size 11246 kB, installed size 32879 kB | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | mot sure why they are removed in trusty | 23:10 |
| phroa | this is some special version or something. I'm not perfectly sure, all I know is that I compiled it | 23:10 |
| kastan | i am having problems finding the guest addition iso file to mount in virtual box any ideas on were it might be located i check opt | 23:10 |
| Bashing-om | Matml: No luck to this time. Domestic issue taking my attention at this time. still concerned that you have an old version of python3-uno installed and not able to update to what is current. I will be back later. | 23:10 |
| ^v | :/ | 23:10 |
| ^v | no help? | 23:11 |
| Matml | Bashing-om: Ok, thanks for your help, if I'm not around later I'll be back tomorrow! | 23:11 |
| Matml | silly python! | 23:11 |
| Ben64 | kastan: theres an option in vbox to install it | 23:11 |
| bell73 | i need help with my laptop | 23:12 |
| kastan | Ben64 yeah but it didnt do anything | 23:13 |
| ki7mt | kastan, I think, if I remember, it installs it to /media/<username> | 23:13 |
| ki7mt | by installs, I mean puts the scripts there. | 23:14 |
| kastan | Ben64 sorry it says insert not install | 23:14 |
| Matml | Anyone else have any ideas about an error in the terminal saying "failed to import the site module"? | 23:14 |
| Ben64 | kastan: you have to install it on the guest | 23:14 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | in windows this would be a cut and paste task | 23:15 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: yes you mentioned that. it's very simple in linux as well, but still requires you to know what you want | 23:15 |
| ki7mt | In Windows, you have to pay for the OS and buy Anti-Virus SW too :-) | 23:15 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | isnt it obvious? | 23:15 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | sure linux is great | 23:15 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am strugling with it | 23:15 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: i asked you 15 minutes ago to explain exactly what you wanted and you couldn't | 23:15 |
| kastan | Ben64 thats were im getting lost im confused by what you mean by guest | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I have explained it to you 3 times | 23:16 |
| Ben64 | kastan: guest = the virtual machine | 23:16 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: 0 times actually | 23:16 |
| aledzadza | im trying to install monitorix and i get this error http://pastebin.com/DNbthE67 | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | files and directories in directory a to directory b | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I cannot explain it simpler | 23:16 |
| Ben64 | ToAruShiroiNeko: "mv a b" | 23:16 |
| ki7mt | I pasted the cp command he needed to use. | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I think that one worked | 23:16 |
| kastan | Ben64 Oh thank you! | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am trying to verify | 23:16 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | for whatever the reason everything crashed | 23:17 |
| export | ToAruShiroiNeko: what crashed? O.o | 23:18 |
| crontab | Does Ubuntu have /etc/mail disabled by default? | 23:19 |
| ki7mt | aledzadza, did you do that the message said after: E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 23:19 |
| Matml | Maybe I'll just use my laptop as a paperweight :) | 23:19 |
| ki7mt | .. do what the message said .. .. | 23:20 |
| ki7mt | Matml, Python can be a pain, especially with package comparability & multi-python installs. | 23:21 |
| Matml | ki7mt: Odd thing is I haven't done anything like that... I'm not sure it is a problem with python, just what googling suggests. | 23:21 |
| kastan | hmmm do i make a new virtual machine with the guest addition or? | 23:22 |
| ki7mt | Matml, maybe I missunderstoon, but your installing python3-uno or something python3 yes? | 23:22 |
| kastan | figured it out! thank you all | 23:22 |
| Matml | ki7mt: Just normal updates... that one is coming back as failing. | 23:23 |
| Matml | ki7mt: But there are lots of things that aren't working at the moment, all with the same error message "Failed to import the site module" | 23:23 |
| ki7mt | Matml, if all else fails, file a Bug report and get the maintainers to look into it. | 23:24 |
| Matml | ki7mt: I think it's a broader problem than that package. | 23:24 |
| ki7mt | Matml, probably so, but that's what you have to start with, and help them work back from there. | 23:25 |
| Matml | ki7mt: I might have to, I'm a bit out of my depth in terms of ubuntu knowledge | 23:26 |
| ki7mt | Matml, other channels to try is -motu, -bugsquad, -devel, they deal with those issues allot. | 23:26 |
| Matml | ki7mt: Thanks. | 23:27 |
| ki7mt | Matml, I issues with Numpy and F2PY, so I feel your pain, but I've not see that particular error. | 23:27 |
| crontab | What shoud I do to get mail that is sent to root@localhost by one of my programs? | 23:29 |
| phroa | not send the mail to root? | 23:30 |
| Lunario | Is there anybody here who made experiences installing ubuntu (or fedora as an alternative) on a 64 bit machine that uses UEFI to boot? | 23:30 |
| crontab | phroa: how would I get the mail then? | 23:30 |
| phroa | send it to a normal user? | 23:30 |
| Ben64 | !uefi | Lunario | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Lunario: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:31 |
| Lunario | Because my new notebook has Windows 8.1 with UEFI preinstalled, but I want to use both Win and Ubuntu like before. However the UEFI boot mode causes problems from what I have read | 23:31 |
| crontab | phroa: but I have no /etc/mail directory | 23:31 |
| ki7mt | Lunario, there are lots folks that know the UEFI setup, just ask your question(s) | 23:31 |
| phroa | I think it's /var/mail/<username> | 23:31 |
| phroa | could be wrong | 23:31 |
| Dave77 | are there any GUI apps on ubuntu to explore contents of ISO? | 23:31 |
| crontab | phroa: thanks, what is the command to check the mail? | 23:31 |
| Lunario | Well, basically, I have already read many threads about UEFI on the forum and on other sites, but there were so many different explanations depending on hardware, OS etc... so my basic concern is: | 23:32 |
| phroa | either use something like `more` or, install something like pine, mutt, or mail. I don't think any are preinstalled afaik | 23:32 |
| Lunario | what if something goes wrong? Will I not be able to boot Windows anymore either? | 23:32 |
| crontab | phroa: should I install mailutils? | 23:32 |
| phroa | Lunario: backups :) | 23:32 |
| phroa | oh, maybe | 23:33 |
| Lunario | That's my main concern. Not because I am a Windows fan (haven't used it for years) but because I need it for my partner who uses Windows on this machine | 23:33 |
| phroa | I don't quite know much about those packages | 23:33 |
| Matml | Lunario: I had no problems with my laptop, dual booting windows 8 and Ubuntu | 23:35 |
| Lunario | well I do have backups, but it's not exactly a nice perspective not knowing whether the entire bios config is going to be messed up just because of a second OS installation, which always worked fine so far (under non-UEFI systems) | 23:35 |
| Lunario | May I ask what laptop you are using? | 23:35 |
| Lunario | Mine is a MSI GP60 2PE | 23:35 |
| VinceN | Good Afternoon all, I was wondering if someone could offer some help with an OpenVPN server running on Ubuntu 12.04, specifcally I can't seem to figure out how to configure Ubuntu to properly router traffic to the internet from the OpenVPN interface so connected clients can tunnel to the internet through the VPN | 23:35 |
| ki7mt | Lunario, honestly, had same thing with my kids, until the Windows cruch is removed (gone or not available), they kept going back, cold turkey switching is best I think unless you have a mission critical Windows apps that's need and not available in Linux. | 23:36 |
| crontab | ls | 23:36 |
| Matml | Lunario: An ASUS S200E | 23:36 |
| Lunario | ki7mt: it's mainly games he needs/wants to play on it, which simply dont run on Linux | 23:38 |
| ki7mt | Lunario, found that battle too, and lost of a few font, but yeah, gaming is not 100% yet, but it will be someday. | 23:39 |
| ki7mt | fought that battle | 23:39 |
| skinux | Has there ever been an idea to integrate calendar applet with an online calendar service (e.g. GMail, Hotmail, Zoho, etc.)? | 23:39 |
| Lunario | hopefully, ki7mt :) | 23:39 |
| Lunario | but anyway, as long as that is not the case, the problem of needing to dual boot still exists on my machine | 23:40 |
| skinux | part | 23:43 |
| kastan | would dual booting my computer make it run slower than it already does? | 23:58 |
| === Guest68690 is now known as blindsight | ||
| daftykins | no | 23:58 |
| phroa | shouldn't | 23:58 |
| kastan | ok cool | 23:58 |
| daftykins | kastan: what's it running now on what spec, and what's slow? | 23:58 |
| jareddlc | hey guys quick ntp question | 23:59 |
