[00:00] <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
[00:00] <daftykins> VinceN: got IP forwarding enabled?
[00:01] <VinceN> daftykins: I -Think- so but not sure.  Would an IPTABLES output be helpful?
[00:01] <kastan> when i click an application it takes a lil longer than it should nothing to complain about tho just wondering if i dual boot if it would get worse
[00:01] <daftykins> "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" i think was the path
[00:01] <josspyker> yep
[00:01] <daftykins> kastan: in... what OS?
[00:02] <VinceN> daftykins, That returns a "1"
[00:02] <kastan> im running ubuntu 14.04 i will be dual booting windows 7
[00:02] <VinceN> Which I belive means it is enabled
[00:03] <daftykins> kastan: you really should've started with Windows first, but ho-hum
[00:03] <daftykins> VinceN: yeah that's fine, so after that you'd need to be configuring the leases you give your VPN clients with a new gateway and perhaps DNS IPs in order for the internet connection to function from them
[00:04] <kastan> the computer didnt come with window so i installed linux cause free stuff that works great is awesome
[00:04] <VinceN> kastan: The windows boot loader will overwrite the Ubuntu one.  No big deal usually it just means you have to add a step
[00:04] <VinceN> daftykins: Ok, I know this sounds stupid but this is the first time i've ever dealt with something that didn't do this automagically.  How do I do that?  I've seen some guides on defining static routes but I don't really understand what it is they are telling me to do
[00:04] <causative> I'm confused:  service --status-all tells me ssh is stopped ("[ - ]") but sshd is a running process.  What's the explanation?
[00:05] <kastan> VinceN what extra step?
[00:06] <daftykins> VinceN: we could do with the output of some commands from a test client connecting to your VPN to see what they're configured like to start with really
[00:07] <VinceN> kastan: Windows's bootloader won't detect the ubuntu install, so you will either need to alter it to see it, or preferably install GRUB.  This is why daftykins said its better to install Windows First because when you install Ubuntu second it WILL detect windows and automatically configure the boot loader for you
[00:08] <VinceN> daftykinds, Well the client does work but its on Windows.  Tell me what you need and i'm happy to do the leg work.  I want to learn this I just need some help getting started I think
[00:09] <daftykins> VinceN: work as in connects? but can't use the internet connection of the VPN server?
[00:09] <VinceN> Correct, I can connect to the VPN Server (which also has a webserver) and I can access the webserver on the VPN LAN address.  I cannot access the internet
[00:12] <daftykins> VinceN: ok bit of a different deal as it's Windows'y, you need to be configuring the VPN to tell the client connecting to have a different gateway address. let's say the client connects in with a 192.168.100.2 address and the VPN server is 192.168.100.1, however is also attached to 192.168.0.x (as a client). That network would have a router of 192.168.0.1... that's the IP we'd be wanting to tell the VPN client to have as its' default g
[00:13] <VinceN> Ok I think I follow you.  So when I connect to the VPN the settings my Client receives are a local IP address of 10.0.0.8.  No default gateway, DNS or anything are defined but I can access the VPN webserver on 10.0.0.1
[00:13] <VinceN> Your saying I need to bridge the 10.0.0.1 address to the clients external public IP?
[00:14] <daftykins> VinceN: what's the server's physical network address?
[00:14] <daftykins> (as in the real network it's attached to in the 'office' or whatever)
[00:14] <rosco_y> How do I disable the guest account?
[00:14] <VinceN> We talking the eth0 interface address?
[00:15] <daftykins> VinceN: yeah
[00:15] <VinceN> 198.74.57.103
[00:16] <daftykins> is that really a network behind a router or is that interface directly into a 'modem' o0
[00:16] <VinceN> Far as I know its straight into a public network.  It's a Linode VPS
[00:17] <samii-in> hello
[00:17] <VinceN> hi
[00:18] <daftykins> VinceN: ok so you might need to take the default gateway IP from the VPS using "route -n" or "ip route"
[00:19] <daftykins> VinceN: so then you'll want to edit the VPN server config to issue that IP as the default gateway to any clients
[00:20] <VinceN> According to route -n 0.0.0.0 198.74.57.1 as the gateway
[00:21] <VinceN> so I should configure the VPN to issue 198.74.57.1 as the gateway?
[00:21] <daftykins> VinceN: that works! hopefully your windows client can also ping that
[00:21] <VinceN> Wellllllllllllllll lets see
[00:21] <daftykins> VinceN: (if it responds to ping, anyway - check with the server first i guess) yep gateway as that
[00:23] <pavlos> causative, try service ssh status what's the result?
[00:24] <causative> well it's running now pavlos because I restarted it
[00:24] <pavlos> causative, ok, seems something was out of sync
[00:27] <VinceN> daftykins: All I see in the server.conf file is an option to set push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" and push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" the note on the option says it tells the client to route all traffic through the VPN but that the VPN will need to NAT the traffic for it to work properly.
[00:29] <VinceN> Now the connections are NOT bridged, So I would assume that means that my local IP 10.0.0.8 can't set 198.74.57.1 as a gateway because they are dissimilar networks
[00:30] <VinceN> Don't I need to set the Linode 10.0.0.1 address as the gateway and then route the inbound traffic from the tun0 interface to the eth0 interface which then passes the traffic to it's own gateway?
[00:31] <daftykins> VinceN: ah yes NATing could well be required, as even if the client can ping the VPS' gateway, the gateway won't know that your client exists behind that host. yep far more involved than i thought! D:
[00:32] <VinceN> Right and inbound traffic to the external IP will still need to be translated to the internal VPN address
[00:32] <VinceN> So... Yea............................
[00:33] <VinceN> I have a feeling I know what to do, In theory, but I've never done this before so Im not sure what the routing table is telling me nor what IP tables is really telling me
[00:34] <daftykins> that ones beyond my experience level sadly
[00:34] <VinceN> Well drat LOL
[00:35] <daftykins> you may end up being better off in #networking or #ubuntu-server, i know it'll be one of those iptables postrouting NAT trickery commands
[00:35] <VinceN> Oh yes, Thats what i've been trying
[00:35] <daftykins> you'll probably want that windows box set to google DNS or something else public so that that continues to function
[00:35] <VinceN> Ok, Well thanks for the attempt anyway. You've at least kinda confirmed my theory.  Dissapointed though, your the first person who's answer didn't amount to "ask google"
[00:36] <VinceN> Like I haven't been doing that for the past week anyway LOL
[00:36] <daftykins> hehe, doh! yeah it's mostly that it's 1:30am my time too so my brain wouldn't be able to go too much further
[00:37] <VinceN> Thats cool.  I appreciate it sir. :-)  If I see you on when I figure this out i'll let you know
[00:38] <daftykins> VinceN: sounds good ^_^ good luck
[00:40] <VinceN> Thanks!
[00:54] <Glorfindel> Can I suggest things on this channel?
[00:54] <Glorfindel> or just online?
[00:55] <lis__> what?

[00:56] <Glorfindel> what what?
[00:56] <lis__> what what what ?
[00:58] <Dave77> how do I get the latest mplayer to work on ubuntu 13.10?
[00:59] <Dave77> how do I reinstall system mplayer?
[00:59] <daftykins> Dave77: your distro is dead next month, i wouldn't try fixing much :)
[01:00] <Dave77> why are there no binaries for download for mplayer?
[01:00] <lis__> www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
[01:00] <lis__> mplayer
[01:01] <Dave77> ARM is not listed
[01:01] <Glorfindel> Can I suggest things I'd like to see added to ubuntu on this channel?
[01:02] <Beldar> Glorfindel, Not a support issue no.
[01:02] <Glorfindel> ok
[01:02] <daftykins> Glorfindel: no, nobody here is necessarily official
[01:02] <Dave77> why does mplayer give no audio after I compiled it from src?
[01:02] <Glorfindel> oh
[01:02] <daftykins> Dave77: compilation is not the ubuntu way
[01:02] <Glorfindel> where would I request features?
[01:02] <daftykins> Dave77: also, this is not mplayer support
[01:02] <daftykins> Glorfindel: nowhere i know of
[01:03] <Glorfindel> mmm ok, thanks :)
[01:14] <testingtheworld> Whats the latest in ubuntu news?
[01:16] <dino82> This is the year of the Linux desktop, of course
[01:16] <testingtheworld> What do you mean?
[01:16] <dino82> It's a running joke, every year is the 'year of the Linux desktop' but it never happens XD
[01:17] <testingtheworld> haha thanks for letting me in on it
[01:18] <NothingToProveYe> Anyone have any good ubuntu game suggestions?
[01:19] <Glorfindel> worm
[01:19] <Glorfindel> or what ever
[01:19] <NothingToProveYe> can i apt-get install worm?
[01:19] <Glorfindel> I don't think thats what it is called
[01:20] <Glorfindel> but you can try :)
[01:20] <testingtheworld> apt-get install worm just makes me think of something malicious
[01:20] <Glorfindel> lol
[01:20] <Glorfindel> me too
[01:20] <NothingToProveYe> yeah like an idiot trying to get malware
[01:20] <testingtheworld> lmgtfy haha
[01:20] <Glorfindel> how about apt-get install virus?
[01:21] <testingtheworld> thisisnotavirus.com
[01:21] <testingtheworld> ^dont click that
[01:21] <testingtheworld> ihavenoideawhatisit.jpg
[01:21] <NothingToProveYe> HA
[01:21] <daftykins> off topic, shush please guys - move to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to time waste
[01:21] <NothingToProveYe> 10-4 roger that
[01:24] <avis> how do i find out how my ubuntu box last locked up so that i can see if it can be fixed
[01:27] <Beldar> avis, This the only time?
[01:28] <avis> no its happened twice on a new computer and perfect install
[01:28] <avis> very light use
[01:31] <Beldar> avis, I would have to google to really help, others may have more direct advice.
[01:31] <avis> does anyone know what logs i would look out to fix my problem ?
[01:31] <Boohbah> dino82: what do you mean it never happens? it happened for me a long time ago
[01:31] <Boohbah> avis: check your logs
[01:31] <sydney> Is there a app that will alw me to track any activity on my computer?
[01:36] <zuurack> hi
[01:37] <ProfessorKaos64> how can I put an icon on the desktop?
[01:38] <sydney> ProfessorKaos64: Drag and drop?
[01:38] <robynata> :-D
[01:38] <ProfessorKaos64> I heard its "chmod +x ~/Desktop/*.desktop"
[01:38] <ProfessorKaos64> to make it show up
[01:38] <Locke2002> I think I accidentally directed my Ubuntu installation to a ppa that updates the mesa drivers daily, meaning every day if I do apt-get upgrade it will install new mesa drivers. How can I check what's going on with my ppa's and possibly remove the link that's getting the frequent updates, if that's what's happening?
[01:42] <zuurack> Hey just got some info for users with optimus using ubuntu 14.04 lts. If you are having kernel crash becuase of nouveau driver crashing then install bumblebee as fast as u can. And don't open any internett browsers as that will cause the system to crash due to the nvidia card trying to load. If you don't know how to install bumblebee on 14.04 ubuntu then do a quick google search and you'll find it, it's pretty simple. That atleast solved al
[01:42] <zuurack> l my problems with ubuntu 14.04 crashing with a fresh install. And now my system is so stable that i'm using it as my primary os :-) Happy days! Cheers! Hope this info was helpfull!
[01:43] <daftykins> zuurack: nobody's ever gonna see a one time message, also nvidia-prime is the new one to watch, not bumblebee so much
[01:44] <sarr> joseph victor
[01:44] <marshall> hey ubuntu
[01:44] <sydney> Locke2002: Here is ppa info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs
[01:44] <sarr> pooorrrrrrrrrrr
[01:44] <Locke2002> Thanks, I'll take a look
[01:44] <marshall> how do i set an environment variable that contains an "!" from the command line?
[01:45] <sydney> Im out of here,goodningt...
[01:45] <zuurack> daftykins: Haven't tried nvidia-prime yet so can't confirm that it will work the same way, but will try someday. I was just sharing info that helped me and might help other in the same situation
[01:45] <zuurack> others*
[01:45] <daftykins> zuurack: right but say someone comes in tomorrow, they can't see that message...
[01:46] <zuurack> Haha no i know..Im gonna post it on ubuntu forums aswell :)
[01:46] <sarr> freeeeeeeeeee
[01:46] <Ben64> zuurack: but nvidia-prime is the preferred one now
[01:46] <sarr> 1/2 dieu is her name
[01:48] <zuurack> I know aloooot of people including myself has had alot of troubles getting any distros really to work propely with optimus. And as i said i will try nvidia-primus someday. But since i rarely use my nvidia card i'll think i'll stick with bumblebee for now :)
[01:48] <ProfessorKaos64> Ok I got a desktop shortcut, is there a command line way I can batch a shortcut to the unity bar?
[01:48] <zuurack> i meant nvida-prime lol
[01:54] <trism> marshall: you can use: env STRWITH\!=SomeValue command; to launch command with that in the env (such as bash or whatever)...but you won't be able to easily access it in shell scripts because shell env variables are only supposed to be letters, numbers and underscores
[01:55] <bluezone> how do i find the name of my fglrx driver and uninstall it
[01:55] <bluezone> for my radeon ati card
[01:55] <daftykins> how did you install? download from the website?
[01:55] <bluezone> no it was from the software sources i believe
[01:56] <bluezone> provided by ubuntu
[01:56] <daftykins> dpkg -l | grep fglrx
[01:57] <trism> marshall: unless you mean the ! is the value of the env var, then just single quote it: export BLAH='hahaha!';
[01:57] <bluezone> daftykins, it's listing fglrx ad fglrx-updates but when i apt-get remove them it seems like this are already removed
[01:58] <kebino> Hello
[01:58] <daftykins> bluezone: hmm, perhaps your approach is wrong. i gotta sleep now though sorry.
[01:58] <bluezone> k np
[01:58] <kebino> Anyone know why my computer keeps getting slow after opening up about 4 tabs in mozilla?
[01:58] <holstein> heap_: i am around now
[01:58] <kebino> I need to cold restart my pc
[01:59] <holstein> kebino: graphics driver, broken hardware, slow hardware, misconfiguration.. i would try live CD's and the guest account
[01:59] <kebino> I recently updated my graphics driver and I used a live USB to install xubuntu
[02:00] <holstein> kebino: ok..
[02:00] <kebino> I have a windows vista if that helps
[02:00] <holstein> kebino: so, the upgraded graphics card is different?.. windows support is irrelevant, though, you can see if the hardware works in a supported operating system
[02:00] <kebino> I have dual boot and it works fine on my other OS
[02:01] <holstein> kebino: if you run the live USB right now, and test performance, you are removing your installed operating system and the hard drive from the equation
[02:01] <holstein> kebino: sure.. so, what do that tell you? if you boot and it works fine in windows?
[02:01] <Foxhoundz> how do I enable mod_rewrite for apache on Ubuntu 14.04
[02:01] <kebino> Yes
[02:02] <kebino> I have tried ubuntu and it completely freezes after log in
[02:02] <kebino> I thought maybe I just needed a lighter version or something so I tried xubuntu
[02:02] <holstein> Foxhoundz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48362/how-to-enable-mod-rewrite-in-apache
[02:02] <holstein> kebino: ok.
[02:02] <Foxhoundz> holstein: thanks
[02:02] <Foxhoundz> unrelated
[02:03] <holstein> kebino: so, what does it tell you  if you boot into windows and everything seems fine
[02:03] <Foxhoundz> Is it possible to make my linux box part of a Windows homeroup?
[02:03] <kebino> I need a different version of linxus?
[02:03] <holstein> !samba | Foxhoundz
[02:04] <holstein> kebino: it actually tells you *nothing* about the linux install.. what does it tell you?
[02:04] <kebino> nothing?
[02:05] <holstein> kebino: it tells you, as i stated above, that the hardware is functional.. which is important. so, when you boot into windows is that the case? it seems normal and functional?
[02:06] <kebino> Yes it is normal and functional
[02:06] <shmerby> Hello I need some help.
[02:06] <shmerby> And dev's?
[02:06] <shmerby> ANy*
[02:07] <holstein> kebino: ok.. so you are promised windows support, and that is working.. what happens when you load a live CD?
[02:07] <holstein> shmerby: just ask.. this is not the dev channel
[02:07] <shmerby> So I am trying to get WINE but it says I need to get rid of some kind of driver
[02:07] <kebino> live CD as in the one that came with the computer when I first got it? Sorry I am slow
[02:08] <shmerby> Nvidia opencl driver and ICD library
[02:08] <shmerby> But how do I do that?
[02:08] <jay__> Hey y'all. I keep having issues trying to install OS's. right now, I'm getting this error "ERROR, cannot find Puppy on 'idecd' boot media." any ideas why installs would not be able to find what they need?
[02:08] <holstein> shmerby: ok.. let us know if we can be of help.. i suggest.. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then, after that is complete, run "sudo apt-get wine"
[02:08] <ShadowKnight> kebine: no its a different thing
[02:09] <holstein> kebino: the installer usb you referenced is a live image
[02:09] <holstein> kebino: what happens when you run the installer usb (live CD) live? do you get to a desktop? in "try it live" mode?
[02:09] <shmerby> holstein: Trying it
[02:09] <shmerby> holstein: Upgrade available
[02:10] <holstein> kebino: *nothing* that came with your computer will help you run linux.. you are not promised linux support from the creators
[02:10] <kebino> I get the try or install page
[02:10] <jay__> holstein: can you help me?
[02:10] <holstein> kebino: please "try" and see if you get to a desktop, or not
[02:11] <holstein> jay__: you are not using ubuntu.. i suggest trying ubuntu. you can test the iso download of puppy and the stick
[02:11] <shmerby> holstein: It says E: Invalid Operation Wine
[02:11] <holstein> shmerby: sudo apt-get install wine
[02:11] <jay__> this happens will almost every distro i try holstein.
[02:11] <jay__> they can't all be bad downloads.
[02:11] <yoLo_> hello , i need help installing sqlite latest version for ubuntu can anybody help ?
[02:11] <yoLo_> through command line
[02:11] <jay__> It was suggested to me that it could be a HDD issue?
[02:11] <holstein> jay__: ok.. try ubuntu, and let us know how it goes.. you can confirm the iso's
[02:12] <holstein> !md5 | jay__
[02:12] <shmerby> holstein: Its typing a bunch of things I think its working
[02:12] <jay__> does that make any sense?
[02:12] <mrlesmithjr> anyone seen on ubuntu 14.04 where syslog is not being updated anymore? zero bytes? very strange. occured on more than one server as well
[02:12] <holstein> jay__: also, the machine has to be able to boot USB or cd. and you can test the stick on another machine.. just trial and error, really.. whats broken? and test for what it could be and rule it out
[02:12] <shmerby> holstein: Thank you for the help.
[02:12] <holstein> shmerby: sure.. enjoy!
[02:13] <jay__> well i know the USB stick is working cause i've installed linux distro's to RAM and they work
[02:13] <holstein> jay__: testing the hardware, such as the hard drive, would be something i would do.. if you think you have a bad hard drive test for it
[02:13] <kebino_> Uhh.. Sorry
[02:13] <jay__> it's when I try to install to the hard drive that i get error like it can't mount the kernal and such
[02:13] <kebino_> My computer just froze again
[02:13] <holstein> jay__: the statement you made above doenst indicate to me the usb stick is ok
[02:14] <holstein> jay__: test the hard drive
[02:14] <jay__> ok
[02:14] <holstein> kebino: are you running the live environment?
[02:14] <shmerby> I got 4gb of RAM on my custom built Linux Computer, should I get 8gb? Or is 4gb good on linux?
[02:14] <kebino_> Yes
[02:14] <kebino_> I already installed it
[02:14] <holstein> shmerby: "good" is a matter of opinion.. if you need 8, get 8.. otherwise, if 4 is working for you, use it
[02:15] <shmerby> Well I will be playing games and 4gb seems fast.
[02:15] <Foxhoundz> sudo su
[02:15] <holstein> kebino_: i realize you have it installeed, and im not asking that you install it, or install it again.. im asking that you specifically run the installaer again and *not* install, but run it live, and report to me if you are getting to the desktop or not.. can you do that for me?
[02:15] <shmerby> holstein: it brought this pop up with software product agreements and such but I cant click ok?
[02:15] <kebino_> Yes
[02:16] <holstein> shmerby: ram wont make the machine any "faster".. it only adds ram..
[02:16] <jay__> i have parted magic. i'll load it up.
[02:16] <jay__> i think there is something to test hardware in there
[02:16] <holstein> shmerby: you can tab and hit enter to select.. you have to accept licensing agreements
[02:16] <DmanElite> yup
[02:16] <jay__> holstein, are you paid to help out in here?
[02:17] <holstein> jay__: no
[02:17] <shmerby> holstein: Oh thanks for your help I am first timer.
[02:17] <holstein> shmerby: no worries..
[02:17] <jay__> You should be
[02:17] <jay__> lol
[02:17] <holstein> jay__: thanks, i think ;)
[02:17] <shmerby> How do you do that red chat thing?
[02:17] <DmanElite> They need a new linux distro called Linux Cigarette, I bet it would be a big hit.
[02:17] <jay__> it was a compliment hehe
[02:18] <jay__> haha
[02:18] <holstein> !ot
[02:18] <shmerby> obottu: Thats total copy and paste.
[02:18] <holstein> shmerby: are you talking about a hilight?
[02:18] <shmerby> holstein: yes.
[02:18] <DmanElite> Ubuntu Cigarette?
[02:19] <shmerby> People might think its a E-Cig
[02:19] <DmanElite> lol
[02:19] <shmerby> I got it!
[02:19] <shmerby> A Smart E-Cig that can call and text
[02:19] <DmanElite> ya soon enough, give it 2 years
[02:19] <shmerby> People will buy it if you say its "Trendy"
[02:19] <DmanElite> itll make calls too
[02:20] <shmerby> Yes.
[02:20] <shmerby> Holstein: It brought up the command bar again does that mean it is done?
[02:20] <kebino> I am back
[02:20] <kebino> It worked fine
[02:21] <holstein> shmerby: you are back at the prompt, you mean? if so, yes.. you can try "wine /path/to/.exe".. or just wine should bring up the config..
[02:21] <holstein> !wine
[02:22] <jay__> holstein: , how many people do you think you've help with linux issues?
[02:22] <holstein> jay__: do /join me in #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss :)
[02:22] <shmerby> Holstein: wine: created the configuration directory '/home/shmerby/.wine'
[02:22] <shmerby> wine: cannot find '/path/to/.exe'
[02:22] <DmanElite> Heck I bet if you named a new distro called linux dick, it might get more women interested in linux
[02:22] <holstein> shmerby: right.. you'll fill that in with the path to your .exe
[02:23] <shmerby> Oh
[02:23] <Artemis3> holstein, you are supposed to be in the channel first :P
[02:23] <kebino_> I am back again
[02:23] <kebino_> My screen froze up
[02:23] <shmerby> So for example wine /path/to/example.exe
[02:23] <jay__> oh ok sorry
[02:23] <kebino_> ?
[02:23] <jay__>  /join me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:24] <shmerby> !Shmerby
[02:24] <jay__>  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:24] <jay__> dammit
[02:24] <kebino_> me?
[02:24] <Artemis3> without the space
[02:24] <holstein> kebino_: your screen froze up? in the live CD?
[02:24] <jay__>  /join#ubuntu-offtopic
[02:24] <shmerby> !Hacker
[02:24] <Artemis3> er, not that space
[02:24] <shmerby> !Gay
[02:24] <kebino_> Not in the live CD
[02:25] <kebino_> It froze just now so I had to restart
[02:25] <DmanElite> !Slut
[02:25] <jay__>  /join mein #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:25] <jay__>  /join me in#ubuntu-offtopic
[02:25] <jay__>  /joinme in#ubuntu-offtopic
[02:25] <jay__> omg! why doesn't it work
[02:25] <IdleOne> jay__: stop putting spaces in front of / on irc
[02:26] <kebino_> So...
[02:26] <holstein> jay__: the command is "/join #ubuntu-offtopic"
[02:26] <holstein> kebino_: will you please boot the live CD, and run the live desktop? and let me konw that you get alive desktop, and see if you can make it lock up?
[02:27] <Foxhoundz> holstein: I followed the directions on the article. I edited 000-default.conf to add AllowOverride All but the apache server fails to restart with the error: "AllowOverride not allowed here"
[02:27] <Foxhoundz> the rewrite module is enabled, however
[02:27] <kebino_> What do you mean
[02:28] <kebino_> I put in the USB and clicked on try without install
[02:28] <holstein> Foxhoundz: looks like its not allowing it.. thats what i take from that message
[02:28] <holstein> kebino_: ok... and thats the desktop that just froze?
[02:28] <jay__> how do i test my hdd from parted magic?
[02:28] <kebino_> No
[02:29] <Beldar> jay__, What are you testing for, bad areas?
[02:29] <kebino_> After I unplugged it and restarted my computer to open the installed version it froze
[02:30] <jay__> just a hdd drive in general. to see it's overall health Beldar
[02:30] <holstein> jay__: this looks right http://www.technibble.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44181
[02:30] <holstein> kebino_: will you run the live version? and see if you make it freeze?
[02:31] <kebino_> ok and I mean two different freezing. One is where I can see what I was previously doing. The second is when the screen turns into a zig zag and the screens is mushed together
[02:32] <holstein> kebino_: sounds like graphics driver support issues.. what hardware?
[02:32] <kebino_> nvidia?
[02:32] <holstein> kebino_: do you have nvidia?
[02:32] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/72766/how-do-i-find-out-the-model-of-my-graphics-card
[02:32] <kebino_> yes
[02:33] <holstein> kebino_: ok. there are a few driver options.. what are you using? the open one that came with ubuntu?
[02:33] <Beldar> jay__, This link shows the GSmart Control app, looks like a variation of a smart check wg=hich can be run in a cli as well. http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Fixing-Disks-with-Parted-Magic A live ubuntu has these options and this is ubuntu support so you might consider the context of this channel.
[02:33] <jay__> holstein: that page won't load for me for some reason right now. I ran a test using GSmartControl and it completed without error
[02:33] <kebino_> Well I am not sure about the one that came with ubuntu. I just know that before I even tried installing linux I had nvidia. I have a nvidia card
[02:34] <jay__> it says lifetime hours 5888. is that a lot?
[02:34] <jay__> i have no idea how long drives usually last
[02:34] <holstein> kebino_: sure.. the hardware is nvidia.. now, lets talke about the driver.. are you using the driver that came with ubuntu?
[02:35] <holstein> kebino_: do you remember installig a proprietary driver?
[02:35] <kebino_> Well, whenever I opened up my vista OS I noticed that I installed a driver
[02:35] <kebino_> This is after everytime I install linux
[02:36] <holstein> kebino_: vista is irrelevant
[02:36] <kebino_> Oh ok
[02:36] <holstein> kebino_: vista is not installing drivers into ubuntu.. and ubuntu is not installing driver into vista.. they are seperate
[02:37] <kebino_> Then I assume nothing is installed
[02:37] <holstein> kebino_: now.. you have nvidia graphics hardware.. on the machine, so, thats for both os's
[02:37] <kebino_> yes
[02:37] <holstein> kebino_: what i would like to discuss with you, is what i think is causing your graphics issues.. and i think that is the *driver*  for nvidia in linux.. just in linux. not vista
[02:37] <kebino_> ok
[02:38] <holstein> kebino_: if you have not, please install the proprietary graphics driver for nvidia on your system.. just linux. not vista
[02:38] <adi__> hello. can anyone help me blacklist wimax module that I never user and it slows down my bootup time?
[02:38] <holstein> !blacklist
[02:38] <jay__> can someone else help me is holstein is too busy?
[02:38] <kebino_> How would I know which ones to install?
[02:38] <ShadowKnight> jay_:you might want to try another channel for help, http://searchirc.com/dir/Computers/Operating-Systems
[02:39] <holstein> jay__: its in the menu.. smart tests are in the "disk tool" or whatever its called
[02:40] <holstein> kebino_: are you online with the machine?
[02:40] <kebino_> Yes
[02:41] <holstein> kebino_: please do this first.. open a terminal and input "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" .. let that finish and reboot.. see if your grahpics are "better".. if not, we install the driver
[02:41] <jay__> ok holstein but i have a ton of questions. for example, the test passed 100% never failed. but, it says some things (Spin-Up Time and others) are in "pre-failure"
[02:41] <jay__> other catagories say old age
[02:43] <holstein> jay__: sure.. the drive can be failing..
[02:43] <jay__> do these things mean the drive is useless? is this why my installs can't find the files they need?
[02:43] <jay__> generally, the installs have been telling me it can't find one type of file or another. depending on the install
[02:43] <holstein> jay__: its plausible the installs are failing if the drive is bad..
[02:44] <jay__> so is the drive bad? or just old? nothing failed in the test. so what does pre-failure mean? it will fail soon but is just slow ?
[02:44] <holstein> jay__: i would have to test everything.. and i have lots of hardware, so i would have tested a different machine with a different hardware and installed there to make sure the installation media is ok
[02:44] <kebino> Back
[02:45] <Locke2002> sydney: Thanks for the tip, I was able to remove the repository. However, I adventurously went on to try to manually remove the mesa drivers thinking I would go get the mainline ones and I dunno what I did, but I totally borked my Lubuntu installation, lol. I'm reinstalling it now -_-
[02:46] <jay__> well aren't you fancy holstein  lol i have two pc's but one if my girlfriends and i'm not allowed to make changes to it
[02:46] <jay__> that's the one i'm on now
[02:47] <jay__> so without other sources to test on, i'm kinda pooched eh?
[02:47] <kebino> Well it didn't help much. I opened up the chat and Mozilla straight after and the screen mushed up again
[02:47] <holstein> jay__: im just proposing tests that would help me define the issue you are having
[02:48] <holstein> kebino: please open a terminal and run "lspci" and paste the results..
[02:48] <holstein> !paste | kebino
[02:49] <holstein> kebino: and i will tell you want i think you should install, driver
[02:49] <jay__> i understand that holstein . i'm basically screwed though. i can't  truely tell if it's the hdd or the distro's or the usb stick
[02:49] <holstein> jay__: you can boot the stick on another machine.. you can check the integrity. and md5..
[02:49] <jay__> it's unlikely the distro's since i've tried so many.  two did work out of about 8 though
[02:50] <jay__> arg md5 is annoying lol
[02:50] <holstein> jay__: its the same internet downloading the isos. and the same usb stick.. the same lots of other things.. and the hard drive as well
[02:50] <jay__> it's not going to be wrong that often don't you agree?
[02:50] <holstein> jay__: the md5 sum? if your network is bad, it can be wrong every time
[02:50] <jay__> how can i test the USB stick holstein ?
[02:51] <holstein> jay__: there is an integrity check built into the iso's for ubuntu
[02:51] <holstein> but i will literaly carry the stick to another machine, and try it there..
[02:51] <jay__> what?! that's hogwash! lol i didn't know that
[02:52] <kebino> Back
[02:52] <jay__> try what ? installing the OS on a new pc? i can't do that .
[02:52] <kebino> Computer has been pretty sluggish
[02:52] <holstein> kebino: yes, i read you were back. will you run "lspci" in the terminal and paste the results..
[02:53] <holstein> !paste | kebino
[02:53] <kebino> 00:00.0 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a1)
[02:53] <kebino> 00:01.0 ISA bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 LPC Bridge (rev a2)

[02:53] <unopaste> kebino you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[02:53] <holstein> kebino: not here.. in a pastebin..
[02:54] <holstein> kebino: please you a pastebin and share
[02:55] <jay__> where do i get the damn check sum application hol/
[02:55] <jay__> holstein:
[02:55] <holstein> !md5
[02:55] <aravind_geek> kebino: u may try jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current
[02:55] <jay__> !md5
[02:55] <aravind_geek> from terminal using sudo or root prompt
[02:56] <jay__> thanks
[02:56] <sydney> Locke2002: Hopefully you had everything backed up. ;)
[02:56] <holstein> aravind_geek: i was going to be sure the *-current supported the specific hardware, but, thats probably the best idea.. to just install it like that
[02:56] <Locke2002> sydney: lol. There's nothing important on here, and it was only the desktop that got borked. It seems to be working ok now.
[02:57] <sydney> Locke2002: ok :D
[02:57] <kebino> Can you tell me what to type again?
[02:57] <holstein> kebino: i agree with aravind_geek ..
[02:57] <kebino> and I feel like mozilla has something to do with the screen freezing
[02:57] <kebino> Sorry I wasn't here. I had to reboot again
[02:57] <sydney> afk
[02:57] <jay__> hey holstein , how can i check sum for non ubuntu versions?
[02:58] <holstein> jay__: ask non-ubuntu for the sums.
[02:58] <holstein> jay__: dont overthink it.. its not a fix.. its just a troubleshooting step.. dont waste too much time with it..
[02:58] <kebino> What should I type into the terminal again?
[02:58] <holstein> kebino: 22:55 < aravind_geek> kebino: u may try jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current
[02:59] <jay__> so i can use the same program tho?
[02:59] <jay__> i just need to md5sum right?
[03:00] <kebino> that didn't seem to work in the terminal
[03:00] <holstein> kebino: ok.. do give detail..
[03:00] <holstein> kebino: anything you can share that can help a volunteer.. "that didnt work" is a statment, not a question
[03:01] <kebino> I typed in jockey-text -e xorg: nvidia_current and without jockey. What did I do wrong?
[03:01] <holstein> kebino: you are not telling us what is happening
[03:02] <weirddan455> kebino: are you using flash in firefox?
[03:02] <jay__> holstein: i dunno what to do now. if the check sum is ok, what's next?
[03:02] <kebino> I never installed it but it seems to be working
[03:02] <holstein> jay__: test the next thing.. you are already have errors in the drive
[03:03] <aravind_geek> kebino: type sudo jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current
[03:03] <kebino> I am using flash. I just checked
[03:03] <weirddan455> kebino: because adobe stopped devlopment on the version of flash that firefox uses
[03:03] <jay__> well not failures on the drive holstein
[03:04] <jay__> but pre-failure. i dunno if that's enough to cause things to not work properly or what
[03:04] <aravind_geek> kebino: copy and paste instead of typing that avoids typos.
[03:04] <weirddan455> kebino: it's stuck on version 11 and is often the source of crashes and weird video things
[03:04] <jay__> i would figure the drive would just place the data somewhere else on the drive if a sector is bad
[03:05] <kebino> What should I do then to fix the crashing and it crashes the whole computer.
[03:05] <kebino> Also it says command could not be found
[03:05] <weirddan455> kebino: if you must use flash it's better to use Chrome/Chromium with the "pepper" version of flash that's still being actively developed... on version 14 right now vs the Firefox version's 11
[03:05] <kebino> after i typed in jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current
[03:06] <kebino> Thanks. I will try chrome
[03:06] <aravind_geek> kebino:what happens?
[03:07] <kebino> "jockey-text: command not found" that appears
[03:07] <weirddan455> kebino: you need to make sure you get the "pepper" flash though... otherwise it'll use the same old version 11 as Firefox uses
[03:07] <kebino> I even tried it with sudo
[03:07] <exp-life> iptable has output chain,so why i can not set the rule " iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -j DROP"?
[03:07] <weirddan455> kebino: or you could always try disabling Flash in Firefox and see if the problem doesn't go away :P
[03:07] <holstein> kebino: i suggest you do one at a time. either install nvidia common or try chrome flash
[03:08] <kebino> I am trying chrome flash
[03:08] <weirddan455> what driver is he currently on?
[03:08] <holstein> kebino: you are being bombarded now with 2 different options.. and its really plausible either could help
[03:08] <holstein> weirddan455: the stock open nvidia included one
[03:08] <jay__> i wish my biggest problem was what flash player to install
[03:08] <sadpuppy> good old pepper
[03:08] <weirddan455> holstein: proprietary or nouveau?
[03:09] <holstein> weirddan455: the one that comes. nouveau
[03:09] <weirddan455> ah
[03:09] <holstein> weirddan455: i should say, im assuming that.. you can check the scroll back and see how its beeing going ;)
[03:09] <aravind_geek> kebino: this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/441415/what-has-jockey-been-replaced-with-in-14-04
[03:10] <jay__> is there a linux channel for general linux install issues?
[03:10] <holstein> jay__: yes..
[03:10] <jay__> also, how do you find channels ?
[03:10] <sadpuppy> list
[03:10] <sethj> jay__ #linux perhaps?
[03:10] <sadpuppy>   slash list
[03:10] <holstein> jay__: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode
[03:11] <jay__> it seems like you just have to "know" they exist. or i'm missing something
[03:11] <weirddan455> i mean... nouveau will sometimes give bad performance vs proprietary (depending on what GPU you have) but it shouldn't be crashing you
[03:11] <kebino> Should I do both options?
[03:11] <weirddan455> i blame flash... flash has always been a pain in the ass even on windows
[03:11] <sadpuppy> hundreds of rooms
[03:11] <kebino> I just installed pepper flash and chrome
[03:11] <holstein> kebino: no.. i suggest doing one now.. do chrome
[03:11] <kebino> I did that
[03:11] <holstein> kebino: no reason to do both.. just install chrome and test..
[03:11] <jay__> how do you know about these magical things! irc channel search!?
[03:12] <holstein> kebino: in chrome, visit https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and tell me what you have?
[03:12] <weirddan455> kebino: type "about:plugins" into chrome
[03:12] <weirddan455> kebino: make sure you only have 1 version of flash in there... it should be version 14... if you see an older version disable it
[03:12] <kebino> I have adobe flash player version 14
[03:13] <holstein> kebino: thats the current flash. please test your system with it, and dont use firefox during this test..
[03:13] <kebino> ok
[03:13] <holstein> kebino: note: this is not a problem with firefox.. but, flash
[03:14] <kebino> Would it be ok to get back to you guys tomorrow if there is a problem? It seems fine now and its really late
[03:14] <weirddan455> yea... IIRC the "pepper" plugin format is not open source so Firefox doesn't implement it
[03:14] <holstein> kebino: this is the public ubuntu support channel. you are welcome to ask what you like about ubuntu support anytime
[03:15] <kebino> Alright. Good night then
[03:15] <weirddan455> it's adobe's fault they chose to stop development on the linux version of the standard plugin-based flash (yet still continue it for windows)
[03:16] <sadpuppy> vlc
[03:21] <karstensrage> is it normal to have an empty /var/log/authlog
[03:22] <karstensrage> is it normal to have an empty /var/log/auth.log

[03:26] <jay__> you know, if i was actually working right now i wouldn't have time for all this dillying around
[03:26] <jay__> they should really make things easier in irc and linux in general
[03:30] <briganty> holaaa
[03:30] <cfhowlett> briganty ask your ubuntu questions
[03:30] <jay__> it says now that jay__is already registered and that i'm not logged in
[03:30] <jay__> _Trullo:  what do i do now
[03:31] <_Trullo> log in
[03:32] <jay__> how?

[03:34] <cfhowlett> jay__ it's all explained in the freenode login dialog
[03:34] <Beldar> jay__, Go to #freenode and ask for their help, they will get you set up. ;)
[03:35] <ciel_> hello>
[03:35] <ciel_> can anyone help me out?
[03:35] <somsip> !ask | ciel_
[03:37] <ciel_> I need help fixing my programs some of them are dragged to the side also teamviewer a remote desktop program people can only see wallaper and anything that was dragged off the far left like skype ....
[03:37] <jay__> thanks guys
[03:42] <Beldar> jay__, Once registered after a couple of weeks you can ask #freenode for a cloak to hide your IP info.
[03:45] <AnimeGod> >_>
[03:48] <AnimeGod> Urg...
[03:50] <AnimeGod> Can anyone help me out my skype is far on the left of my screen like the far far left I know because when My friend was teamviewering he could only see the far left of my screen...
[03:50] <AnimeGod> and only my desktop
[03:51] <Beldar> AnimeGod, put your cursor over it hold down alt then left click and move it.
[03:51] <Foxhoundz> I set up a samba server on my machine
[03:51] <Foxhoundz> when I try to log in on the Windows machine, it prompts me for a username and password
[03:52] <Foxhoundz> natrually. I supply the linux box's credentials
[03:52] <Foxhoundz> but it doesn't accept it
[03:52] <AnimeGod> i can barely see it beldar its like a small line of blue
[03:52] <AnimeGod> this happens when I run skype all the time I wish I can screenshot to show u
[03:53] <Beldar> AnimeGod, Check the resolutions in display
[03:54] <Beldar> AnimeGod, Just a guess but if you have two wide a resolution this would be a symptom.
[03:54] <AnimeGod> its at 1366 x 768 (16:9) what about it?
[03:55] <AnimeGod> the desktop says Bulit-in-Display and another next to is saying BBY 19"
[03:55] <AnimeGod> My laptop screen is broken I am using a montior
[03:56] <Beldar> AnimeGod, Does the drop down give you different resolution options?
[03:56] <AnimeGod> holy ._. i just turned off bulti in display something happened
[03:57] <AnimeGod> and yes I do have different options
[03:57] <Beldar> AnimeGod, try several to see if maybe this changes and you may find one more appropriate.
[03:59] <Beldar> AnimeGod, here is a wiki, note the xrandr options. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[04:00] <AnimeGod> Hey beldar
[04:00] <AnimeGod> I dont think its the resolution I think its something else
[04:00] <AnimeGod> you know the launcher where u launch the things
[04:00] <AnimeGod> Well I can see skype launching behind that line
[04:01] <AnimeGod> like on the farrr left
[04:01] <AnimeGod> behind the launcher
[04:01] <AnimeGod> and when my friend teamviewer me
[04:01] <AnimeGod> all they see is just my wallpaper
[04:01] <AnimeGod> nothing else
[04:01] <Beldar> AnimeGod, Not being there this is a trouble shooting attempt to cover possibilities, the resolution is a good start.
[04:02] <AnimeGod> I tried all the resolutions already it kept looking weirder and weirder thats not the issue err I wish I can  show u myself
[04:02] <AnimeGod> I wish u can remote desktop or something>_>
[04:04] <Beldar> AnimeGod, honestly trying to help and having you immediately discount after just a few tries, without looking at the wiki is a waste of my time. We often cannot give an exact fix answer, you have to do some of the work.
[04:05] <AnimeGod> Give me the wiki then I didn't get it....
[04:05] <Beldar> Beldar> AnimeGod, here is a wiki, note the xrandr options. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution I did already
[04:06] <AnimeGod> ....
[04:06] <Beldar> at this point we are trouble shooting, keep that in mind.
[04:06] <AnimeGod> my firefox is behind the launcher now.......
[04:06] <ghs> Ubuntu 12.04 webcam upside-down in Skype. Someone ?
[04:06] <AnimeGod> wow..........
[04:06] <AnimeGod> im gonna use my ipad.....
[04:20] <owen1> i don't have wireless or wired connection on HP EliteBook
[04:20] <owen1> WTF. it's 2014
[04:21] <ki7mt> and ?
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you installed ubuntu with internet enabled?
[04:21] <ciel_> hey
[04:21] <owen1> lotuspsychje: yes. sometimes i have internet. not today.
[04:21] <AnimeGod> I fixed the issue I think :D
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you enabled cable internet during your ubuntu setup?
[04:22] <owen1> my cable internet is working most of the time.
[04:22] <owen1> so i assume that yes, i enable it during my setup
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> owen1: can you pastebin us lshw -C network
[04:22] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am using ie instead of the default DM
[04:22] <owen1> lotuspsychje: sure
[04:22] <owen1> 1 sec
[04:23] <owen1> i'll have to use a usb stick
[04:26] <owen1> i cant mount the usb...
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> owen1: what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> !details | owen1
[04:27] <owen1> lotuspsychje: since i don't have wired or wireless and i want to pastebin the lshw command, i am trying to use a usb and move the output file to another laptop.
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> owen1: just type wifi brand + driver= loaded
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> owen1: you also just said you had cable internet on the box..
[04:30] <owen1> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7704049/
[04:31] <owen1> lotuspsychje: true, i got cable internet, but ping www.google.com doesn't work so i assume i have no internet even with cable.
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> owen1: ubuntu version?
[04:32] <owen1> lotuspsychje: 14.04
[04:32] <owen1> 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you check your additional drivers list, if any other drivers show up?
[04:33] <owen1> lotuspsychje: no
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> owen1: software sources icon/ last tab additional drivers
[04:33] <ki7mt> Thats very strange, as Intel wirelesa almost always works right bout of the box for me.
[04:33] <ki7mt> .. wireless ..
[04:33] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am in i3. i guess it's 'unity-control-center'
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> owen1: i3?
[04:34] <owen1> lotuspsychje: in unity, what key combo will log me out?
[04:34] <aravind_geek> owen1:check network manager daemon running or not?
[04:34] <owen1> also, what key combo open the app launcher?
[04:35] <owen1> i3 is a tiled window manager. i usualy use it instead of the default one, i belive it's a Desktop Environment called unity.
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> !info i3
[04:36] <owen1> i would like to switch back to i3 since i don't see the left bar of unity.
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> owen1: maybe i3 didnt load network manager like aravind_geek sugested?
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you try same on unity?
[04:37] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i load it manually, by running nm-applet
[04:38] <owen1> lotuspsychje: and i see the little icon with arrows that tells me i am connected with a cable.
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> owen1: ok wait a minute, you dont have internet on the box, but you installed i3 on it?
[04:38] <owen1> lotuspsychje: sometimes i have internet. not today.
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> owen1: login to unity plz, so at least we know your drivers are good to go
[04:39] <owen1> lotuspsychje: sure, but i don't see the unity left icon bar.
[04:39] <owen1> so i am not sure how to open apps without it.
[04:39] <aravind_geek> owen1:alt-f2
[04:39] <owen1> aravind_geek: thanks. i'll try that
[04:40] <owen1> aravind_geek: nope. nothing happened.
[04:40] <owen1> i do see the desktop icons though
[04:40] <owen1> and i see the contex menu when i do 'right click'
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you internet work on unity, the first time installed, before you messed with i3?
[04:41] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i don't remember. i install i3 right away.
[04:42] <owen1> also, at work my wired connection works. and the wireless works ok if before loggining into i3 i first login to unity.
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did your ubuntu setup recognize your wifi?
[04:42] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i remember it gave me a warning about the wifi.
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> owen1: wich warning?
[04:42] <owen1> lotuspsychje: something about a missing driver i think
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> owen1: i would reinstall, just to make sure internet works on unity by default
[04:45] <AdmiralMoose> Hi, I have a pressing issue. I am running a minecraft server on ubuntu server 14.04 and my minecraft server is having trouble saving data to disk. I think this is because I said during installation that I wanted the disk to be encrypted
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> owen1: and updated fully, setup internet enabled with cable and download 3rd party software during setup
[04:45] <AdmiralMoose> Please tell me what is wrong because this is starting to grind my gears.
[04:45] <owen1> lotuspsychje: ok. i'll do it in a few minutes. thanks
[04:46] <cfhowlett> AdmiralMoose could be.  so unencrypt the disk and try it.
[04:46] <AdmiralMoose> How do I do this?
[04:46] <cfhowlett> !encryption
[04:46] <AdmiralMoose> cfhowlett:  How can I unencrypted the disk?
[04:46] <cfhowlett> AdmiralMoose start with this wiki - pretty sure the encryption removal steps are there
[04:47] <AdmiralMoose> cfhowlett: Link?
[04:47] <cfhowlett> AdmiralMoose do you even read ?  :)  see above from ubottu
[04:47] <ki7mt> Yeah, like up 3 lines Hello :-)
[04:47] <cfhowlett> AdmiralMoose https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#How_to_Remove_an_Encrypted_Private_Directory_Setup
[04:48] <AdmiralMoose> cfhowlett: Its not a directory, its the disk
[04:48] <cfhowlett> AdmiralMoose hm... I've heard that full disk encryption is a bit more delicate.  best i don't comment on what I don't know.  ask someone else.  sorry
[04:49] <AdmiralMoose> cfhowlett: Ok thanks

[05:15] <Ben64> !find gssapi.h | abhie2e
[05:16] <abhie2e> Ben64, still not found
[05:17] <Ben64> abhie2e: explain what you mean by "not found"
[05:17] <leon-hard> You can easily look that up at: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[05:17] <leon-hard> just search in content of packages for "gssapi.h"
[05:17] <abhie2e> Ben64, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7704169/
[05:18] <Ben64> abhie2e: and what are you trying to do
[05:18] <abhie2e> Ben64, compile bind
[05:19] <Ben64> why? bind is in the repositories?
[05:19] <abhie2e> Ben64, ./configure of bind
[05:19] <abhie2e> Ben64, yes. but to enable geoip we need to compile with --with-geoip
[05:19] <eddy_cuba> is someone here that knows a lot about ubuntu???
[05:19] <abhie2e> the repo one do not have geoip enabled Ben64
[05:19] <abhie2e> eddy_cuba, mark shuttelworth?
[05:20] <esph> If my SSD has a 1536 erase block size, but the partition offsets were automatically set to 2048 during install, is that a problem?
[05:20] <Ben64> eddy_cuba: ask your real question, give as much detail as possible, use pastebins if we should see multiple lines, screenshots if we need to see something, and be patient
[05:21] <Ben64> abhie2e: then download the dev packages of whatever it needs to compile, but this channel is for help with official packages and stuff, what you want is a bit beyond what the channel is for
[05:22] <abhie2e> Ben64, how to install gssapi in ubuntu is out of scope of ubuntu?
[05:22] <Anonymous> whats the anonymous chanel

 its installed men but it doesnt work... when i click it it only show the icon anything else
[05:40] <weirddan455> eddy_cuba: well reinstall it because it looks like you're missing files
[05:40] <weirddan455> eddy_cuba: see if this file actually exists because if you read the output of chromium it's failing because it can't find this file /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh
[05:40] <eddy_cuba> men ive tryed everythingon the internet and  google chrome and chromium only show the icon
[05:41] <weirddan455> eddy_cuba: reinstall your chromium and flash packages
[05:48] <weirddan455> eddy_cuba: and run it from the terminal so you get output as to why it's not loading... clicking the icon won't give you any feedback
[05:48] <eddy_cuba> look at this what happend when i input sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7704244/
[05:48] <causative> why isn't x11vnc managed by service?

[05:48] <eddy_cuba> how do i open chromium with commands?
[05:48] <eddy_cuba> oo now i remember how :D but it say the same thing
[05:48] <Loshki> causative: dunno, start it from rc.local instead?

[05:58] <khaitanya> how can i restore the kernel used by the livecd ? have the modules in place(which went borken after kernel update in 14.04)
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | khaitanya

[06:01] <khaitanya> lotuspsychje: the problem is with wifi after the update on 14.04 (all kernels). so i only need to restore the kernel used by the livecd..
[06:02]  * Fall cheers, specifying package target release worked :D

[06:10] <pavak> hello everyone! is this official Ubuntu server room?
[06:11] <Ben64> pavak: that would be #ubuntu-server
[06:11] <pavak> OK what it is then? I am actually checking out some IRC channels :)
[06:11] <pavak> **cliant
[06:12] <pavak> **client
[06:12] <Ben64> pavak: check the topic in most channels to find their purpose. /topic
[06:13] <causative> is there a way to switch between windows of a given application using numbers?  e.g. ctrl-1 goes to the first terminal window, ctrl-2 to the second, etc, and it should work like the screen command
[06:13] <pavak> got it. actually by the title Ubuntu Servers i though it is about Ubuntu Server
[06:14] <Ben64> pavak: the topic says... "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[06:14] <causative> so ideally each window has persistent numbers so if you close window 2, window 3 is still numbered 3
[06:15] <pavak> ya ya ya, got it, sorry for my stupid questions :p
[06:16] <sex> anybody know why chrome is capturing my CTRL-W and how i can prevent this ?

[07:07] <iMadper> Hi. I want to make a shell-script auto-start AFTER unity start. I tried ~/.config/autostart. But my scripts executed too early. Is there any other point can make my script startup?
[07:07] <Abhijit> iMadper, .Xauthority?
[07:08] <iMadper> Abhijit: thanks, I'll try.
[07:08] <bcvery> iMadper, add sleep 20 at the beginning of your script?
[07:08] <Abhijit> iMadper, detail info here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/autostarting
[07:09] <Abhijit> iMadper, sorry its .xinitrc
[07:09] <iMadper> Abhijit: Okay, I'll try. :-)
[07:10] <iMadper> bcvery: no. I want to calculate how many times from kernel is loaded to unity draw up.
[07:10] <iMadper> bcvery: sleep 20 makes it meaningless. :-(
[07:11] <bcvery> iMadper, in that scenario indeed it would
[07:11] <cristian_c> Hi
[07:11] <Abhijit> iMadper, start a script at rc0 start counting, check for unity presence, stop counting when you found unity?
[07:11] <cristian_c> I've tried to do a smart test with 'Disks'
[07:12] <cristian_c> but I see that percent it stops to 10%
[07:12] <cristian_c> from several minutes
[07:12] <cristian_c> it doesn't go on
[07:13] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[07:14] <iMadper> Abhijit: I calc the time with console. My console-server will save every line with a timestamp. For now my script simply output some words to ttyS0 so that I can now when the script ran.
[07:14] <nbros652> does anyone know if it's possible to use avconv to crop video with reencoding?
[07:15] <iMadper> Abhijit: stop counter manually is un-acceptable due to we need a precise time. It makes me crazy.
[07:16] <Abhijit> iMadper, okey.

[07:37] <lasagn4> hi
[07:37] <lasagn4> what directory has the source code or deb files stored?
[07:38] <bekks> lasagn4: Whats the actual issue behind that?
[07:38] <lasagn4> i have truecrypt 7.1a instaled my linux box, and i want to see if i can still keep the one installed
[07:38] <lasagn4> rather than getting a new source and verifying it
[07:39] <bekks> lasagn4: Then you neither need the source code nor the installation package.
[07:39] <bekks> lasagn4: Just dont install any other version of truecrypt.
[07:40] <lasagn4> no, i am installing a new debian box and i need to migrate it
[07:40] <bekks> Ah - that was the important part of information missing :)
[07:40] <bekks> lasagn4: did you install truecrypt from a PPA or did you install it manually?
[07:41] <lasagn4> i wonder if i installed it with apt-get , does it install it via source file, no huh, it is already complied
[07:41] <lasagn4> i think i used ppa
[07:41] <lasagn4> or ratehr it was already built in apt-get so i ddin't have to ppa it
[07:41] <bekks> apt-cache policy truecrypt will tell you
[07:41] <bekks> truecrypt is not contained in any official repository
[07:42] <lasagn4> well, i guess that settles that
[07:42] <lasagn4> haha
[07:42] <hateball> lasagn4: you can have a look in /var/cache/apt
[07:43] <admin-pc> i need to know about ubuntu

[07:44] <admin-pc> i installed a ipmessenger but,that app didn't work good

[07:46] <admin-pc> i had the error on line:157
[07:46] <bekks> admin-pc: Nothing from the ubuntu repos.
[07:46] <admin-pc> ubottu: Than which on is good for LAN messenger
[07:47] <bekks> admin-pc: Define "LAN messenger" - what are you actually trying to do?
[07:48] <admin-pc> ubottu: i tried something, but don't remember
[07:49] <bekks> admin-pc: So you dont remember what you are actually trying to achieve?
[07:49] <admin-pc> ubottu: But i worked with windows that the same application work good...
[07:49] <bekks> admin-pc: ubottu is a bot, not a real person.
[07:50] <admin-pc> ubottu: Am new for ubuntu...so only
[07:50] <bekks> !bot | admin-pc
[07:50] <admin-pc> ubottu: I am working system administrator in agaraminfotech,india
[07:51] <bekks> Whatever.
[07:52] <admin-pc> ubottu: no problem,thank you..
[07:52] <hateball> bekks: I'm wondering if they are using http://lanmsngr.sourceforge.net/downloads.php perhaps. Still, not in repos...
[07:52] <hateball> admin-pc: Is that what you are using? ^
[07:52] <admin-pc> if any one know about the ipmessenger for ubuntu
[07:52] <Ben64> admin-pc: stop talking to the bot. its a bot. it is not a person. are you a person? if so, stop talking to the bot, because the bot is a bot and not a person.
[07:53] <bekks> admin-pc: What is "ipmessenger" at all. What are you trying to do?
[07:53] <admin-pc> Ben64: ok,i need know about ipmsg apps

[08:15] <Dave77> is there anysoftware in ubuntu that can cut .ts files? [not projectx]
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> Dave77: .ts movie file format?
[08:19] <Night-hacks> what's the best tiling window manager on Ubuntu ? at least synched with Unity configs
[08:19] <Dave77> .ts is container used for TV broadcasts
[08:20] <bekks> Night-hacks: There is no tiling window manager using Unity configs.
[08:21] <neupuceni> hi!
[08:21] <Night-hacks> bekks: i tried i3, no fn keys like screen light worked, after suspending laptop it didn't turn back
[08:21] <neupuceni> can someone explane me waht is kernel bisection?
[08:21] <bekks> Night-hacks: Those are issues which are unrelated to the window manager.
[08:22] <LucaB> Night-hacks: did you look i3 manual for keybindings?
[08:23] <heap_> holstein: did u take a look on that dropbox file?
[08:28] <Night-hacks> any tiling window manager recommendation on Ubuntu ?
[08:29] <somsip> Night-hacks: awesome, dwm, xmonad (for starters)

[08:33] <g0ldr4k3> hello everyone, is there some one can answer a question about MaaS? the question is this: I've realized an infrastructure using KVM as Hypervisor and 3 VM: 1 VM for Region Controller (RC) - 2 VM for Cluster Controller(CC), each one with 2 or more nodes installed and manage via virtio. Each VM use different Virtual Network 2.2.2.0/24 (RC),3.3.3.0/24(CC) 'n 4.4.4.0/24(CC) configured on virsh-manager, I've also added and accepted 2 CC o
[08:33] <g0ldr4k3> n RC. but in the RC's web UI I see only 2 CC without the nodes associated on them. a question: but which is the Region's goal? sees just the CC and not manage the nodes? thanks a lot for your support
[08:33] <lotuspsychje> !maas | g0ldr4k3
[08:36] <g0ldr4k3> ubottu: I've read that and this type of infrastructure is already configured on our DC but I don't understand the Region Controller's goal if it can see only the CC and I can't manage their node via RC....
[08:37] <ki7mt> g0ldr4k3, you should probably be asking that in #ubuntu-server maybe.
[08:38] <daviator> hello. i have an error on booting ubuntu 12.04. Error: compare_pipe_intel bla bla mismatch smth intel_config
[08:38] <g0ldr4k3> ki7mt: ok thanks!
[08:40] <daviator> i`m out
[08:41] <Matml> Hi all.

[08:42] <sveta> добрый день

[08:46] <kanwar> Hi developer,I want to get into GSOC2015 and want to work
[08:46] <kanwar> I am familiar with Java and Android
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> kanwar: we have #ubuntu-touch for helping on ubuntu for phones/tablets
[08:48] <hateball> kanwar: there is also #ubuntu-devel
[08:49]  * _waver_ back
[08:49] <hateball> kanwar: there is also #ubuntu-gsoc as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[08:50] <Dave77> why is there no decent TV viewer app on linux?
[08:50] <Dave77> how do I view DVB on linux?
[08:50] <abhie2e> Dave77, you mean mythtv?
[08:50] <zipc> where can i find the ubuntu code for the touch pad?
[08:50] <Dave77> I don't want media centre UI.. just a standard application
[08:50] <hateball> Dave77: VLC should handle it iirc
[08:51] <Dave77> VLC can't tune to signal using unicable LNB
[08:51] <Dave77> VLC interface terrible for daily TV use
[08:52] <ki7mt> Dave77, Didn't we go through this last night, same questions?
[08:52] <kanwar> How i can contact any java/android developer
[08:52] <Dave77> maybe.. I really want to switch to linux..
[08:52] <lotuspsychje> kanwar: your in #ubuntu support here
[08:52] <lotuspsychje> !alis | kanwar
[08:52] <zipc> kanwar: go to #android-dev
[08:53] <Dave77> i'll come back in a year see if anything has changed.. re TV apps
[08:53] <ki7mt> Dave77, Then switch, only thing stopping your, is you :-)
[08:53] <Dave77> even android tablet would be less stress to use than linux
[08:53] <kanwar> @zipc i want to work for an organization in order to get selected for GSOC2015
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> Dave77: that makes really no sense
[08:54] <heap_> jesus, on my machine when i open so much tabs the ff got black and mahine is swapping as hel. anybody occured same thing?
[08:54] <ki7mt> Dave77, I suppose everyone has their one reason for using X,Y,Z, OS, but Im not sure I would base the switch on a TV application.
[08:54] <yann2> Hello! I think there is a problem with multiarch on Ubuntu 12.04,  the version of linux-libc-dev:i386 isn't the same as linux-libc-dev:amd64, it breaks apt-get upgrade  linux-libc-dev:i386 3.2.0-64.97 cannot be configured because linux-libc-dev:amd64 is in a different version (3.2.0-65.98)
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> !details | heap_
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> !mythtv | Dave77
[08:56] <Dave77> yes user interface is very poor on mythtv.. not suitable for daily use
[08:56] <Ben64> ...no, mythtv is awesome
[08:57] <ki7mt> I think so too
[08:58] <Dave77> If i want mythtv use I might as well buy a linux TV settopbox
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> Dave77: its up to you to decide, what you wanna do on ubuntu
[08:59] <hateball> There's also XBMC, if one is so inclined
[08:59] <Dave77> mythtv useless for viewing TV on desktop.. if it looked like a standard app.. i might use it
[08:59] <Ben64> how is it useless?
[09:00] <Dave77> user interface is bad
[09:00] <Ben64> if you just want to rant about stuff, you're in the wrong channel
[09:00] <Dave77> i want to use linux as desktop.. but can't understand why many apps are missing
[09:00] <Ben64> do you have an actual support question?
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> Dave77: you can only say, you didnt find the right app yourself yet..
[09:01] <heap_> On my machine  4G ram, i3 core when i open so much tabs (175) the firefox got black for a while and mahine is swapping (using swap device) so crazy. anybody occured same thing?
[09:01] <ki7mt> Dave77, Is there an acutal problem we can help you fix, or is this all cometary, if so, #ubuntu-offtopic is the right place for that.
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> heap_: ubuntu version?
[09:01] <heap_> 14.04 but it did on all my previous ubntus
[09:02] <lotuspsychje> heap_: tested other browsers yet?
[09:02] <heap_> yeah, same chrome
[09:02] <Ben64> heap_: sounds like you're running out of memory
[09:02] <lotuspsychje> heap_: can you try run firefox from terminal and see what errors you get
[09:02] <heap_> if i open so many tabs, then for example page of gmail.com eating 500MB
[09:02] <heap_> Ben64: yah
[09:03] <Dave77> like there are all these programmers that work on linux but no app for this, or that etc, you would have thought by now these problems would be sorted
[09:03] <Ben64> heap_: so... don't open 175 tabs
[09:03] <lotuspsychje> heap_: set your firefox buffer to 0 so it uses ram
[09:03] <cristian_c> Hi
[09:03] <heap_> so maybe there is some plugin to control memory better or so on.
[09:03] <Ben64> Dave77: looks like you want our complaints department. join #ubuntu-complaints
[09:03] <heap_> lotuspsychje: where i can set it?
[09:04] <cristian_c> I've some doubts regarding this wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[09:04] <lotuspsychje> heap_: firefox options/advanced/network tab
[09:04] <cristian_c> Using vga_switcheroo
[09:04] <Ben64> cristian_c: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics
[09:04] <lotuspsychje> heap_: there are many tricks you can use swap or memory better
[09:05] <DJones> Dave77: Have you looked through this list of TV apps http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/watch-live-tv-on-ubuntu/
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> heap_: swappiness tweak, installing preload,..
[09:05] <cristian_c> Ben64, vga_switcheroo
[09:05] <heap_> lotuspsychje: cant see that option in that tab
[09:05] <Ben64> cristian_c: i don't know what you mean
[09:05] <heap_> lotuspsychje: is there any nice paper /web page related to that issue?
[09:05] <cristian_c> Ben64, it's a method
[09:06] <cristian_c> to switch gpus
[09:06] <Ben64> cristian_c: ok? still not seeing your point
[09:06] <ki7mt> DJones, went though all of that last night, and we're back for round two of the same things tonight it seems.
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> !info preload | heap_
[09:06] <Dave77> DJones: yes some of those are the kind of things i'm looking for but mostly seem quite old apps
[09:07] <cristian_c> What command a user has to type to disable the discrete gpu?
[09:07] <cristian_c> the page is not clear
[09:07] <cristian_c> :(
[09:07] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[09:07] <Ben64> cristian_c: thats why i gave you a link to a much more recent page
[09:07] <cristian_c> Ben64, I don't see vga_switcheroo in that page
[09:07] <cristian_c> you have linketo to
[09:07] <cristian_c> *linked
[09:07] <Ben64> because it is 2014 now, not 2010
[09:07] <Dave77> but don't think I heard of FreetuxTV before
[09:08] <janihhh> Dave77: Kaffeine is quite ok as tv app
[09:08] <janihhh> I've used it to view dvb channels
[09:08] <cristian_c> Ben64, 2010?
[09:11] <Ben64> cristian_c: the page you linked to is from 2010
[09:12] <cristian_c> Ben64, but it was tired after
[09:12] <cristian_c> *tried
[09:12] <cristian_c> developed (the software)
[09:12] <Ben64> what?
[09:13] <cristian_c> sorry, vga_switcheroo flag is active
[09:13] <Ben64> well good luck with that
[09:14] <cristian_c> Ben64, I don't have alternatives
[09:14] <cristian_c> Ben64, the page you have linked is referred to fglrx drivers
[09:14] <cristian_c> closed
[09:15] <cristian_c> Ben64, my question is different
[09:15] <cristian_c> what command using for disabling the discrete gpu
[09:16] <innocent95> Morning!
[09:16] <linocisco> how to install ezcap USB DVB-T FM DAB adapter on ubuntu?
[09:17] <hateball> cristian_c: Did you check if you can do it in BIOS?
[09:20] <cristian_c> hateball, it seems in the bios nothing can be done
[09:20] <cristian_c> :(
[09:21] <cristian_c> hateball, it's a hp laptop with two gpus
[09:21] <cristian_c> but the wiki page it's not clear for me
[09:23] <no_gravity> Hello! What is this new start menu on the left called in ubuntu? and how do i put my own stuff there?
[09:24] <hateball> cristian_c: I'm not familiar with AMD/ATi gpus either, sorry
[09:24] <crazyhorse> the built in image-viewer in ubuntu is slow and unresponsive.. whats a good replacement?
[09:24] <hateball> no_gravity: Dash
[09:25] <no_gravity> hateball: ok
[09:25] <somsip> crazyhorse: how simple do you want it to be?
[09:25] <cristian_c> hateball, ok
[09:25] <no_gravity> hateball: or dash?
[09:25] <crazyhorse> somsip: double click image
[09:25] <crazyhorse> left and right
[09:25] <somsip> crazyhorse: gpicview might be worth looking at from small and light
[09:25] <crazyhorse> thats about it really, options for toggling between full screen and windowed
[09:25] <ki7mt> no_gravity, it's the Unity Launcher actually, and once you open an app, you can pin it to the launcher, then move it to where you want.
[09:26] <somsip> s/from/for
[09:26] <crazyhorse> the default one is unbelivably slow
[09:26] <cristian_c> hateball, thanks anyway for your interest :)
[09:26] <crazyhorse> no excuse with 32gb of ram and an ssd.. should be instant
[09:27] <crazyhorse> somsip: woah
[09:27] <crazyhorse> somsip: now that's more like it!
[09:27] <crazyhorse> loads instantly
[09:27] <somsip> crazyhorse: I find that too
[09:29] <cristian_c> Any other ideas?
[09:31] <sveta> “https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netsurf-fb/ This is because insufficient permission to /dev/input/mouse* and /dev/input/mice. In theory you could use udev to solve this as described here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156780, in practice it does not work in Arch Linux, (but it really should work!). So you need to chown them yourself or by using a systemd service.” — I am not very good at understanding where this comes from. I'm
[09:31] <sveta> using Ubuntu 14.04 and I have the same problem: an "Unable to init SDL" error message.
[09:32] <somsip> !info netsurf-fb
[09:32] <somsip> sveta: so how have you installed netsurf-fb?
[09:34] <sveta> somsip, from the Ubuntu repos.
[09:35] <somsip> sveta: it should work as is then. Have you done anything else non-standard?
[09:35] <sveta> other than using this distro for a few years, no
[09:36] <sveta> I did install gpm a few months ago and netsurf-fb doesn't conflict so I assume it's not an issue
[09:37] <somsip> sveta: so you run it from command line and it gives you what message exactly?
[09:37] <sveta> somsip, unable to init SDL: unable to open mouse
[09:38] <somsip> sveta: is this on your local machine, or on a remote server?
[09:38] <sveta> local machine
[09:39] <somsip> sveta: check through this. I have to go out so can't help more https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711504
[09:40] <sveta> ok thanks
[09:42] <sveta> this just says that «links2 -g» worked for someone in the same console, but for me it does only if GPM is on
[09:42] <sveta> running netsurf-fb through sudo gives another error, "unable to set video: couldn't set console screen info"
[09:43] <moarrr> hey
[09:43] <moarrr> ive downloaded kde
[09:44] <moarrr> how do i switch from this piece of crap buggy ide that comes with ubuntu to something that actually works?
[09:45] <cfhowlett> moarrr install an alternate.  use and alternate.  done
[09:45] <sveta> moarrr, install whatever you like in the software center; then enjoy
[09:46] <daviator> guys i need help
[09:46] <cfhowlett> !ask|daviator
[09:46] <daviator> ok
[09:49] <moarrr> cfhowlett: done, but i donno how to make kde my default
[09:49] <moarrr> god ubuntu is so useless as a desktop os its like a walking advertisement for windows
[09:49] <heap_> anyway i dont know why system is using only 70% of physical mem (2.6g of 3.7g) and 31% of swap (1.2g of 3.8g) its because 30% is prebuffered?
[09:50] <cfhowlett> moarrr logut.  chose kde session.  login.  it'll stay with the Desktop Environment you last selected.
[09:50] <cfhowlett> moarrr rants aside, feel free to use any other distro
[09:51] <moarrr> i just wanna set kde as my default environment - how do i do this?
[09:52] <cfhowlett> moarrr dude.  do you even read?  logout.  choose KDE session.  login.          done.
[09:59] <jnhghy> I have a python script that I run on a server throw ssh, this script prints lots of lines in my terminal window, I'm thinking to redirect the output to a file, is there any changes that will this make the script run slower?
[10:01] <loa> hello
[10:02] <loa> i have question about notify-send and -t param. I need to make notification which i can close and will be visible forever
[10:02] <loa> how i can do this?
[10:02] <loa> maybe i need different mechanism for this?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> jnhghy ask #python channel
[10:13] <ronin> is this a robust solution in a script:  /usr/sbin/a2dissite $basename && rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/$basename && service apache2 reload;
[10:27] <james0r> there a utility i can install to view all the packages that i installed today?
[10:27] <marscher> james0r: grep
[10:27] <marscher> grep /var/log/apt.log
[10:28] <marscher> grep $date $logfile

[11:06] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> WHY
[11:07] <Ben64> GuyThatNeedsHelp: probably because /usr/bin/dwm is not a directory...
[11:07] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> I see it there
[11:07] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> ls in /usr/bin
[11:07] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> dwm@
[11:07] <Ben64> GuyThatNeedsHelp: not a *directory*
[11:08] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> :(
[11:08] <Ben64> GuyThatNeedsHelp: might help if you try explaining what you want
[11:08] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> I want to edit my dwm?
[11:08] <histo> GuyThatNeedsHelp: /usr/bin/dwm is the binary that runs. your configs are in your home directory
[11:08] <faugusztin> GuyThatNeedsHelp: maybe you want to edit dwm CONFIGURATION, but not the BINARY
[11:09] <GuyThatNeedsHelp> slap me
[11:09] <histo> GuyThatNeedsHelp: http://dwm.suckless.org/customisation/
[11:10] <histo> GuyThatNeedsHelp: I believe you ouwld have to edit the source with dwm. It's an all encompassing binary afaik

[11:11] <AdmiralMoose> And FileZilla didn't say it was deleting anything
[11:12] <histo> AdmiralMoose: where you moving them or copying them to the server?
[11:13] <AdmiralMoose> I was copying an updated plugin to the server
[11:13] <AdmiralMoose> And then they dissapeared
[11:13] <AdmiralMoose> I just searched one of the files and no banana

[11:27] <p0a> Hello I have downloaded ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso and I have burned it into a DVD. I have two laptops and none of them boots from the DVD (I have placed the DVD to be #1 on the boot order). What did I do wrong?
[11:27] <histo> innocent95: to mkdir where?
[11:27] <innocent95> histo, In my HDD
[11:27] <p0a> I think I burned it as an image. Is this not what I am supposed to do?
[11:27] <histo> !md5sum | p0a

[11:29] <histo> innocent95: ahh on a mount  what are the permisions of /media/antar/36.....
[11:29] <innocent95> histo, hmm, I have no idea ?
[11:29] <innocent95> command ?
[11:29] <p0a> histo: where can I compare the md5's?
[11:30] <histo> innocent95: ls -l /media/antar/36....

[11:31] <p0a> histo: not in the original post
[11:31] <p0a> and not in the first few subsequent posts either
[11:31] <p0a> anyway.
[11:31] <innocent95> histo, Please tell me if this a personal information
[11:31] <innocent95> Because i don't want to paste it here
[11:31] <p0a> this is the link, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes to check the checksums
[11:32] <p0a> histo: okay, the md5's match.
[11:32] <histo> p0a: now check the dvd you burned following those directions
[11:32] <innocent95> histo
[11:33] <histo> innocent95: what?
[11:33] <histo> innocent95: ls -l /media/antar/36*
[11:33] <innocent95> histo, what next ?

[11:34] <riptide> is there an ubuntu variant that runs on raspberry pi
[11:34] <histo> riptide: no
[11:35] <riptide> why not
[11:35] <histo> sveta: what are you going to use in it's place?
[11:35] <k1l> riptide: there are some projects but no official one since the rpi cpu is too old
[11:35] <histo> riptide: because it's arm6 and ubuntu is not compiled for that.
[11:35] <innocent95> histo, it has one directory drwx------
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> riptide: check XDA forums maybe it can run ubuntu touch somehow
[11:35] <riptide> ok
[11:35] <histo> innocent95: Who owns it?
[11:35] <innocent95> histo, root
[11:35] <riptide> is there any other way i can get amazon search into raspbian?
[11:35] <histo> riptide: raspbian is about as close as you are going to get.
[11:35] <riptide> im really keen on having that integrated into my system
[11:36] <histo> innocent95: how did you mount this device?
[11:36] <sveta> histo, i'd rather look at console output, no pictures
[11:36] <innocent95> histo, Double click
[11:36] <sveta> histo, i think i removed 'splash' and 'quiet' from /etc/default/grub tho, i think it's enough
[11:36] <histo> sveta: edit that and remove splash then sudo update-grub
[11:37] <sveta> histo, yes i did

[11:37] <peetaur2> Hi. Can someone help me build a kernel on Ubuntu 14.04? I'm following this broken outdated guide here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel   and after all my hacks to make it build at all, it still doesn't support CONFIG_LOCALVERSION. I don't care so much about the name, but I don't want to replace my old working kernel when I install this one. How can I do this?
[11:37] <sveta> (i wanted to remove package but it's being weird and i dont know why)
[11:37] <histo> innocent95: that's odd that it would mount it with root being the owner. is it a thumb drive or something?
[11:37] <cowbacon> Hi, I have an ubuntu server that I want to connect to a VPN server on another machine. can anyone link me to a guide on how to connect to a vpn server via CLI please?

[11:38] <innocent95> histo, It's an internal HD
[11:38] <histo> innocent95: ls -l /media/antar

[11:52] <histo> cowbacon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN#Getting_Clients_Connected
[11:52] <shortcuts> i have a dual booted laptop that has the wubi installer. i get the err "bootmgr is missing press ctrl alt del to restart"
[11:53] <ronin> I did addgroup test && adduser ronin test, then I added to sudoers ronin  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/rm
[11:53] <ronin> it still asks for a password
[11:53] <shortcuts> i would like to do fresgh install of ubuntu on it
[11:53] <histo> ronin: how did you edit sudoers?
[11:53] <shortcuts> can anyone guide to the proper diy
[11:54] <shortcuts> *guide me
[11:54] <histo> shortcuts: a regular ubuntu install, dualboot, or wubi?
[11:54] <ronin> histo: sudo visudo
[11:54] <shortcuts> i have no clue to be honest
[11:55] <shortcuts> i want to remove windows
[11:55] <ronin> do I need to restart something after ediging sudoers
[11:55] <shortcuts> and do it proper no more wubi
[11:55] <histo> ronin: shoudln't it be ronin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/rm  ?
[11:55] <histo> shrini: then just download and either burn the ubuntu iso to a dvd or thumbdrive.
[11:55] <egelor> Hi!
[11:55] <blinkyb> whats the difference between Lucid 10.04 and Meerkat 10.10 beside server support?
[11:56] <melodie> hi
[11:56] <histo> shortcuts: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/
[11:56] <histo> blinkyb: meerkat is end of life
[11:56] <shortcuts> histo: do i burn a cd with this?
[11:57] <ronin> histo, it's how I had on another computer
[11:57] <histo> shortcuts: from windows?
[11:57] <histo> shortcuts: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows
[11:57] <shortcuts> yes i have no access to a ubuntu machine
[11:57] <shortcuts> ah thx
[11:57] <melodie> does someone here know if installing the gnome desktop to a Unity official Trusty version works fine? does lightdm give the choice then, and if I add Openbox will it add the choice to start to gnome-openbox as it used to before?
[11:57] <histo> shortcuts: it was on that page just below the download
[11:58] <histo> melodie: yes, yes, and I believe so.
[11:59] <histo> ronin: you want them to be able to run rm as root?
[12:00] <histo> ronin: then your line was correct
[12:00] <ronin> histo, I would like to get to user "ronin" rights to write sudo rm file without asking a password :)
[12:01] <histo> ronin: well then (ALL)  should work.
[12:03] <shortcuts> histo thank you for your help,it was very helpfull
[12:03] <histo> shortcuts: np anytime
[12:04] <sydney> Ok,I'm having a issue with my torrents. Every few minutes all my torrents stall. Why do they stall,and how do i fix?
[12:04] <histo> ronin: the way you had it they would have to sudo -u root rm
[12:04] <melodie> hi histo thanks
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> sydney: on transmission?
[12:04] <sydney> lotuspsychje: yes
[12:05] <ronin> is it somehow possible to limit what files can be deleted with rm
[12:05] <histo> ronin: yeah with chattr but you are making a huge issue with this sudoers stuff youw ant.
[12:07] <histo> ronin: ronin ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/rm   should work aswell.
[12:08] <histo> ronin: you can check with sudo -l
[12:11] <sydney> Do I need to look for a different torrent manager?
[12:12] <makara> sydney: too many connections? check that info. pastebin the config file
[12:13] <ronin> one thing didn't work, the group thing. If I add ronin to group test, and then put %test to sudoers file replacing ronin
[12:13] <sydney> Wheres the config file? I am running 5 torrents,and they are baely doing any seeding.
[12:13] <sydney> barely*
[12:14] <sydney> let me try removing a few torrents,then see what happens.
[12:15] <sabbu> hi jello
[12:26] <shortcuts> histo: it's working
[12:26] <shortcuts> thanks again
[12:30] <fra_dolcino> i have problems with boot loader, message: no bootable device, using xubuntu 14.04 on a new acer laptop, i'm trying to use boot-repair
[12:31] <fra_dolcino> if i try recommended option for repair the message is : GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition ecc.
[12:32] <fra_dolcino> here is the boot-repair log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/7705609/
[12:32] <Lorcatar> How much bandwidth should a server have for a game with typically 300 ~ 400 players at once on one server?
[12:32] <fra_dolcino> with details about partitions
[12:34] <bekks> Lorcatar: Depends on the bandwidth needed by a single user session.
[12:34] <kdz> Lorcatar dont get async
[12:34] <dave_s> Anyone familiar with Zentyal who might know why NAT rules completely bypass the firewall?
[12:35] <bekks> dave_s: NAT rules are rules in the firewall. So they dont bypass it. :)
[12:35] <Lorcatar> Okay interesting, I am just curious if it was practical to host a server from your house. And if you need more bandwidth for a server where do you go? Do ISPS have plans for more bandwidth if you want a server in your house?
[12:36] <bekks> Lorcatar: Ask your ISP how expensive that will be. Nowadays server use 100MBit/s synchronous.
[12:36] <dave_s> bekks: I've forwarded all traffic from one of my public IPs in my /29 to one of the private IPs in my /27 and have a SNAT rule doing the reverse, however I have no Packet Filter rule to actually allow HTTP traffic, and when I create one to explicity deny HTTP, it is ignored.
[12:36] <no_gravity> Hello! I have Ubuntu on a partition on my system. If I install win8.1 on another partition - will it destroy grub? Do I have to take any precautions?
[12:36] <Lorcatar> Thanks bekks
[12:38] <Sudopack> Lorcatar: Some ISPs may forbid the use of servers on residential connections, so watch out for that as well.
[12:39] <mustafa_> no_gravity: yes it will destroy grub.. Because windose always write MBR (Master Boot Record) of your HDD
[12:40] <mustafa_> no_gravity: you may take backup of your MBR
[12:41] <jojoa1997> im following this so i can connect my ubuntu server to my WPA2 router and the wpa startup script is giving an error and i am clueless to what is wrond. here is the script witht he error at the bottom http://pastebin.com/j6kcezWT
[12:41] <no_gravity> mustafa_: or boot from an ubuntu stick later on and restore it?
[12:42] <mazertm> How do u put a variable inside a sed command. i tried with '$var' "$var" '"$var"'  none of these works. give out error: ed: -e expression #1, char 29: unknown option to `s'
[12:42] <mustafa_> no_gravity: sudo dd if=/dev/sdx of=/home/your_name/file.boot bs=512 count=1  where sdx is your HDD probably sda, the first disk on your system
[12:43] <bmxscott1993> need help with my new hard drive i got but want to use it as a back up what linux partition table can windows read without any problem because i need the hard drive to be compatible with all os
[12:43] <mustafa_> no_gravity: i have never used that.. So i cant say anything about that
[12:43] <mazertm> my command looks like: sed -i 's/'"$amount"''/TEST/g' $tempfile
[12:43] <no_gravity> mustafa_: oh, thats nice. will i be able to play it back from windows?
[12:44] <mustafa_> no.. you must have a bootable linux media... flashdisk or CD, DVD... all linux distros will have dd command
[12:45] <no_gravity> mustafa_: when im in linux i can probably simply run a command to create a new boot sector
[12:45] <no_gravity> mustafa_: update-grub or something
[12:46] <mustafa_> no_gravity: that may also work.. but still you must have a bootable linux of course :)
[12:46] <no_gravity> mustafa_: or grub-install /dev/sda
[12:46] <no_gravity> mustafa_: yes. i will create a new ubuntu stick when i do it.
[12:47] <mustafa_> no_gravity: grub install may cause weird things.. i dont offer that
[12:47] <no_gravity> mustafa_: we will see. im somehow confident it will work.
[12:48] <hacmit>  I am working on bijiben application to fix some bugs! But I am unable to build latest source on ubuntu 14.04 because some libraries are not available ...Can anyone please guide me?
[12:48] <bmxscott1993> need help with my new hard drive i got but want to use it as a back up what linux partition table can windows read without any problem because i need the hard drive to be compatible with all os
[12:48] <mustafa_> no_gravity: for now i think it will be advantageous to take a back up of your MBR
[12:49] <bekks> bmxscott1993: Thats impossible.
[12:49] <bekks> bmxscott1993: you can use NTFS, e.g. but you will not be able to boot linux from that.
[12:50] <bmxscott1993> no do not need it to boot just need it as storage backup
[12:51] <bmxscott1993> but need to read ok on linux and windows
[12:51] <bekks> bmxscott1993: Then you can use NTFS.
[12:52] <jojoa1997> can anyone help?
[12:52] <bekks> jojoa1997: you have to ask a support question before :)
[12:52] <jojoa1997> i did
[12:53] <jojoa1997> im following this so i can connect my ubuntu server to my WPA2 router and the wpa startup script is giving an error and i am clueless to what is wrond. here is the script witht he error at the bottom http://pastebin.com/j6kcezWT

[12:54] <jojoa1997> i am using ubuntu 14.04 i386 and yesterday i tried network manager but i couldt work it

[13:01] <no_gravity> Hmm.. i copied the win iso with "dd if=the.iso of=/dev/sdb" but the stick is not bootable... why? i always make linux usb sticks like that.
[13:02] <bekks> no_gravity: You cant create a windows usb like that.
[13:02] <no_gravity> bekks: its different then a linux usb?
[13:02] <bekks> no_gravity: Yes.
[13:03] <no_gravity> all this windows stuff is a nightmare
[13:03] <no_gravity> bekks: how does it differ?
[13:03] <bekks> no_gravity: For creating a windows usb, you'd better ask ##windows :)
[13:04] <no_gravity> bekks: i mean .. if i have a bootable iso.. why wouldnt it boot when i DDed it to an usb stick...
[13:04] <bekks> no_gravity: No, that will not work for non-linux.
[13:05] <no_gravity> bekks: the #windows guys dont know much unfortunately :)
[13:05] <bekks> no_gravity: We know even less about windows.
[13:05] <tushar> hello?

[14:17] <anishthebest> what is uri scheme?
[14:19] <mman> cfhowlett: you have to compile it from source.. and that is the problem.. the normal ./configure make make install does not work :S
[14:23] <cfhowlett> mman sorry.  I've only ever configured once and it was as smooth as a baby's behind
[14:24] <mman> cfhowlett: you can install it with apt-get install mono-complete but you get version 2.1 or something like that.. very old... did you installed it from source?
[14:25] <cfhowlett> mman years ago --- honestly don't remember.  sorry

[14:26] <mman> cfhowlett: thanks.. i've been fighting with it for 3 days now... and it seems there is no much info... or i'm the only one having this problem :P
[14:26] <bekks> arkygeek: does the display support 1366x768?
[14:26] <cfhowlett> mman sucks when that happens.
[14:27] <mman> cfhowlett: definitely :S
[14:27] <arkygeek> bekks: from what I can tell, that is the screen’s native resolution
[14:27] <bekks> arkygeek: So did you look at the manual of the device?
[14:27] <arkygeek> I’ve had the samsung tv for years.  manual?  lol :P
[14:28] <bekks> So "from what I can tell,  that is the screen⤙s native resolution" is just an assumption.
[14:29] <arkygeek> bekks: ok, let me rephrase:  from everything I’ve been able to find online, the native resultion is 1366x768
[14:31] <arkygeek> bekks: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200803/20080322130202390_BN68-01424D-00Eng-0304.pdf  <— manual
[14:32] <bekks> arkygeek: Page 60. The native resolution is 1360x768
[14:33] <pyoor> Hi all.  Has anyone here had any success using a touchscreen device with ubuntu 14.04 and google-chrome
[14:33] <pyoor> it appears that the touch screen will only move and select the cursor, but not actually click
[14:34] <f00dMonsta> my system keeps uploading massive amounts of data when I power on
[14:34] <bekks> f00dMonsta: Define "massive amounts".
[14:34] <f00dMonsta> it floods my office's dns server with requests to apidata.googleusercontent.com
[14:35] <f00dMonsta> 1Gb in 10min
[14:35] <bekks> f00dMonsta: Disable Google Drive sync :)
[14:35] <f00dMonsta> i don't have it installed
[14:36] <brainwave> my acpid service doesn't get acpi events, until I restart it after boot.
[14:36] <f00dMonsta> it's weird because if I restart my network interfaces, it stops and is fine
[14:38] <Pici> f00dMonsta: I'd suggesting using   sudo netstat -tanp   or install nethogs and use sudo nethogs to determine what process is making those connectings.
[14:39] <adi__> hello. where can i attach a pic so I can show you guys what output I am getting when I start ubuntu. thanks
[14:40] <cfhowlett> !paste|adi__
[14:40] <adi__> before the ubuntu logo dark purple with dots I get this tty type output saying something about my wimax card or module being loadad
[14:40] <arkygeek> bekks: thx .  <oops>
[14:40]  * arkygeek slinks out the door, slightly red faced…
 i am sending you a pic of some problems I have with booting ubuntu 14.04
[14:42] <arkygeek> f00dMonsta: this happens to me when i connect my phone - it downloads all of my pics and vids to the hdd, then seems to check if they need to be uploaded to google drive.  maybe related?
[14:43] <cfhowlett> adi__ so does it then NOT boot?
[14:43]  * arkygeek waves goodbye
  it boots ok but it slows down my booting time, and I never ever used this wimax not even in windows 7.
 how cna i get rid of this module.
[14:44] <cfhowlett> adi__ seems like it would be in your autostart settings, but I don't know how to kill it.  Ask again in this channel.
 I added a line on blacklist.conf it is still there every startup
 did you mean startup aplication?
[14:47] <cfhowlett> adi__ ask someone else = someone who knows more than me.  sorry, but I don't want to GUESS with your live system.
[14:47] <adi__> ok thanks man.
[14:48] <adi__> anyone here is familiar with blacklisting wimax module so it does not hang my boot time every time I restart my laptop?
[14:48] <adi__> thank you. much appreciated .

[15:00] <antoniojesus> is stable and usable?
[15:05] <aledzadza> ki7mt: i tried installing it sober today with a good result =D
[15:11] <Trfsrfr> I'm trying to burn 14.04 onto a dvd. It is asking me "do you want to create a disc from the contents of the image or with the image file inside?" Do I Burn as File, or Burn Contents?
[15:12] <[conrad]> The contents. Burning the image would just put a single file on the disk.
[15:12] <Trfsrfr> Thanks conrad!
[15:12] <clevas> Anyone have success installing ubuntu on an android tablet?
[15:13] <DJones> clevas: If you join #ubuntu-touch the people there should be able to speak about that and which tablets work
[15:13] <mman> Trfsrfr: try this http://www.rocko.me/how-to-make-a-cd-bootable/
[15:13] <bt> hey guys
[15:13] <bt> how all doin?
[15:14] <luminous> hi! what is the best way to debug upstart when the service looks happy, but fails with nothing in the upstart log?
[15:15] <[conrad]> Hello everyone. Does anyone know of a guide or similar available for using pam_usb in combination with pam_ldap on Ubuntu 12.04? I'd honestly take one of an older version if that was the only one, but I can't even find that.
[15:18] <lfrlucas> Hi guys I updated ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 and package manager is failing updates
[15:18] <lfrlucas> like this: dpkg: error processing package linux-generic (--configure):
[15:18] <bt> hi all
[15:18] <bt> i have a security issue in ubuntu
[15:19] <Mlar> lfrlucas: Have you gone through all the usual housekeeping stuff?
[15:21] <lfrlucas> Mlar: yes
[15:22] <Mlar> lfrlucas: what was the output of apt-get upgrade ?
[15:22] <lfrlucas> Actually I have about 10 packages to update and they are failing
[15:23] <lfrlucas> Mlar: http://pastebin.com/DkFiejcb
[15:23] <lfrlucas> e.g. udev is failing
[15:23] <lfrlucas> resolvconf
[15:24] <lfrlucas> and I cannot boot with kernel 3.13
[15:24] <lfrlucas> i get kernel panic
[15:24] <lfrlucas> i'm running with 3.11
[15:24] <lfrlucas> but i think this is because kernel installaation is incomplete
[15:24] <lfrlucas> due to these errors
[15:25] <lfrlucas> I don't know how to resolve this
[15:25] <Mlar> hmm
[15:25] <lfrlucas> I just want to get apt-get upgrade working
[15:25] <lfrlucas> I tried apt-get install -f
[15:26] <Colombiana> hola hombres
[15:26] <Mlar> same output?
[15:26] <lfrlucas> yes
[15:26] <Mlar> dist-upgrade?
[15:26] <lfrlucas> apt-get -f install
[15:26] <lfrlucas>  and dpkg --configure -a
[15:26] <lfrlucas> all give the same
[15:26] <meek_geek> is smplayer not updated yet in ubuntu repo ?
[15:27] <lfrlucas> dist-upgrade or upgrade, both fail
[15:27] <SchrodingersScat> !info smplayer | meek_geek
[15:27] <f00dMonsta> Pici: sorry for mega late reply, net hogs doesn't show anything, because it's making DNS requests to my office's DNS server, which I guess is not using the tcp protocol, which is what net-hogs listens to
[15:28] <meek_geek> SchrodingersScat, the new version is 14.3
[15:31] <ddssc> why don't my pinned shortcuts work if they point to a .sh file? when I start .sh from nautilus it works fine, but when I try tu run it from a strip link, it doesnt?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: do you mean a bash script?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: does it need the terminal to run, then show it's output?
[15:33] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  no.
[15:33] <e^0> now accidently don't know why i can't access phpmyadmin i am doing localhost/mysite/phpmyadmin it says url not found
[15:34] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  I got "Allow execting file as program" checked
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> !away > Thubo|away
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: what is the output of:   ls -al /path/to/your/script
[15:34] <e^0> on my remote server i can easily access mysite/phpmyadmin
[15:35] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  you want my directory contents?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: obviously change the file path :)
[15:35] <ddssc> hm
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: no, the ACLs on the script
[15:35] <f00dMonsta> e^0: apache? nginx? lighttpd?
[15:35] <e^0> f00dMonsta: apache
[15:35] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  how can I even locate that path? I mean i know the path obviously but how do I set it in the link on the stripe( or what's it called) ?
[15:35] <f00dMonsta> e^0: can you access localhost/mysite?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: ok lets do this the simple way
[15:35] <e^0> f00dMonsta: yes i can access
[15:36] <Istalantar> hey there, i have a little problem i think .. i just started my computer and on the login screen instead of my username it now read 'BLA BLA'.. i don't know what i did, can someone help?
[15:36] <Dave77> how do I tune dvb-s in kaffeine?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: what is the file name of the script (case sensitive)
[15:36] <e^0> f00dMonsta: only unable to open phpmyadmin
[15:36] <f00dMonsta> e^0: do you have phpmyadmin folder in mysite?
[15:36] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  foo.sh
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: and what folder is it in please?
[15:37] <e^0> f00dMonsta: no i don't
[15:37] <f00dMonsta> e^0: did you install phpmyadmin using apt-get?
[15:37] <e^0> f00dMonsta: yes apt-get
[15:37] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  /home/me/foo/
[15:37] <e^0> f00dMonsta: on my remote server there is also no phpmyadmin folder, but still i can acess it using mysite/phpmyadmin
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: ok. what is the output of:   ls -la /home/me/foo/foo.sh
[15:38] <f00dMonsta> e^0: do you see a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf?
[15:38] <f00dMonsta> or something like that lol I don't have apache installed on ubuntu
[15:39] <ddssc> -rwxrwxr-x 1 me me 1337 Lip 17 01:06 /home/me/foo/foo.sh
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: when I wrote "[16:33] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: what is the output of:   ls -al /path/to/your/script"    that is what I wanted....
[15:40] <Dave77> can anybody else suggest a GOOD DVB TV app for linux that actually works and is maintained?
[15:40] <e^0> f00dMonsta: yeah it is there
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: ok what is the output of:   head -n 1 /home/me/foo/foo.sh
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: does it say:    #!/bin/bash
[15:41] <f00dMonsta> e^0: can you check in the file that it contains a line called "Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin"?
[15:41] <jbarket> Question. I have NFS v4 setup on a server and a couple of clients. One of the clients has identical UID/GIDs to the server, so everything works as expected. On the second client, UID 1001 is a different user, so files belonging to UID 1001 on the server show up as belonging to this different user. Is using static translation the normal way to handle this if I don't intend on using ldap?
[15:42] <ddssc> ActionParsnip,  #!/bin/sh
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: good enough
[15:43] <janihhh> Dave77: have you tried Kaffeine? I think its a good dvb tv app
[15:43] <e^0> f00dMonsta: it's there :(
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: add a few lines in your script to run:     echo "step 1" | tee -a /home/me/Desktop/trace.txt       and so forth at steps in the script, you can then check the text file (if it gets made) and see what is happening
[15:44] <f00dMonsta> e^0: now.... try http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:44] <Dave77> yes kaffeine might work but I don't believe it can tune satellite LNB of unicable type
[15:44] <Dave77> so that I wonder how I get somebody to add support to kaffeine so it can tune
[15:45] <ddssc> ActionParsnip, thanks
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: little bit of tracing, goes a long way :)
[15:45] <e^0> f00dMonsta: it works now :) thank you so much :)
[15:48] <f00dMonsta> e^0: I didn't do anything :P I just went about it the long winded way, I hope you now understand that "Alias" works on the root of the domain (in this case domain is localhost)
[15:48] <Mlar> Can anyone help me with a problem which is, I think, to do with python? Thanks.
[15:49] <f00dMonsta> Mlar: #python
[15:49] <Pici> Mlar: A programming problem? Or an Ubuntu application that is giving you a python traceback?
[15:49] <Mlar> Pici: The later (at least I believe it is from googling)
[15:50] <Mlar> *latter
[15:50] <Pici> Mlar: Best to ask here then.  #python is more for helping with your own code, and they don't really care for helping with application issues.
[15:51] <Mlar> Pici: Basically been having problems for a few days - quite a few programs now are failing to start, with the common error "Failed to import the site module." This also happens on logon in tty2 etc...
[15:52] <Mlar> Pici: after going through all the normal apt-get upgrades, install -f and so on... down to a broken package (python3-uno), though I feel like that's a symptom, not a cause, as it developed later.
[15:52] <Pici> Mlar: what release of Ubuntu are you on>
[15:52] <Mlar> Pici: 14.04
[15:53] <Dave77> does kaffeine work with unicable LNB?
[15:55] <Dave77> no wonder user share of linux is so low...
[15:55] <Pici> Mlar: Can you tell me if either of the following commands give you an error?  python3 -c "import site"   and   python2 -c "import site"
[15:56] <Dave77> the programs just don't exist... they say use VLC..  it won't do that... they say use mythTV... bad UI.. etc
[15:56] <Mlar> Pici: First one does (python3) - the error that appears everywhere- Failed to import site module
[15:56] <Dave77> solution is to use windows... no decent DVB TV apps for linux
[15:56] <Mlar> Pici: Thanks for helping :)
[15:57] <e^0> f00dMonsta: :)
[15:57] <f00dMonsta> Dave77: or use a windows VM just for DVB....
[15:57] <Pici> Mlar: run sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpython3.4-minimal
[15:58] <apb1963> I'm trying to use BackInTime (an rsync GUI) using ssh.  It  requires passwordless ssh.  I've read some stuff on setting that up (bending my mind in the process), but they say I shouldn't do that for root.  So, I'm puzzled - I want to backup root's files.... how can I do this?
[15:58] <apb1963> ubuntu 12.04
[15:59] <f00dMonsta> apb1963: make a user, give it sudo access, and make backups using that user. As a sidenote, you shouldn't be using root at all, so you shouldn't have files under "/root" to backup
[16:00] <jcrawford> can anyone in here assist me with getting my wifi card in my mac pro to work with Ubuntu?
[16:00] <Mlar> Pici: output here http://hastebin.com/poyonawapu.vbs including the output of apt-get -f install
[16:00] <jcrawford> I have tried to install the broadcom drivers but it is telling me that no wireless extension is enabled in the kernel
[16:01] <f00dMonsta> jcrawford: did you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970227
[16:03] <f00dMonsta> jcrawford: and out of interest... are you just playing around with an old mac? or you figured that the "looks" justified the price tag?
[16:04] <jcrawford> thanks i have not, looking at that now :)
[16:04] <jcrawford> f00dMonsta: it's my work station that I bought in 2006 lol I would love to work under Ubuntu full time :)
[16:04] <jcrawford> right now it's dual booting
[16:05] <f00dMonsta> jcrawford: 2006 o.o I would buy a new pc :P
[16:05] <jcrawford> f00dMonsta: I know I need to upgrade :)  I just don't have the cash right now but this dual xeon with 16gb ram should run fine with Ubuntu :)
[16:06] <jcrawford> it cannot run any OSX greater than 10.7 without some hacking as well lol
[16:07] <Pici> Mlar: Have you run an apt-get update lately?
[16:07] <Catz`> Can anyone please tell me how to copy paste a password in a keyboard authentication method on ssh? i can't manage to access the server via ssh putty
[16:07] <Mlar> Pici: Yep, and dist-upgrade
[16:07] <janihhh> Dave77: not sure about unicable LNB(does it work with any dvb software under linux?), but I use Kaffeine with DVB-c
[16:07] <Catz`> Can anyone please tell me how to copy paste a password in a keyboard authentication method on ssh? i can't manage to access the server via ssh putty
[16:08] <jhutchins> janihhh: Dave77 isn't serious, he's just a troll complaining about Linux.
[16:08] <bekks> jhutchins: ack.
[16:08] <apb1963> f00dMonsta: Yeah this is kinda where I'm getting confused.  I'm logged in as myself, with sudo access... BackInTime lets me run as root  or myself...  To backup system files I have to select the root option.  I'm guessing it's doing a sudo or similar.... so it's running as root. It required me to add root to the fuse group for ssh.  So, I'm assuming I have to setup ssh for root?????
[16:08] <Dave77> just sad that linux just isn't there yet.. :(
[16:09] <SchrodingersScat> Catz`: right clicking in my windows PuTTY acts as a paste
[16:09] <bekks> Dave77: It actually is. I am using DVB on linux for about a decade now.
[16:10] <Dave77> bekks: seems to be lots of DVB programs missing that are on windows
[16:10] <bekks> Dave77: I never missed that crap. I am using kaffeine.
[16:11] <Dave77> I need linux app to cut .ts files.. not sure there is any on linux
[16:12] <bekks> Dave77: Which has entirely nothing to do with DVB. You are having a video editing issue then.
[16:12] <f00dMonsta> apb1963: never used BackInTime, so not sure what it's trying to do. sudo and root access is different :P sudo can be restricted, root is the god of your OS
[16:12] <bekks> Dave77: And thats what can be done using ffmpeg, avconv, kino, etc.
[16:12] <Dave77> not heard of kino..
[16:13] <bekks> !info kino
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Dave77: what is a .ts file?
[16:14] <bekks> ActionParsnip: A file with a ".ts" extension :)
[16:14] <bekks> Dave77: .ts is a container actually.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> bekks: pretty much, means absolutely nothing
[16:15] <jcrawford> thanks f00dMonsta that got my wireless working :)
[16:15] <bekks> ActionParsnip: ack.
[16:15] <Pici> Mlar: does /usr/lib/python3.4/site.py exist?
[16:16] <Mlar> Pici: No
[16:17] <jhutchins> ActionParsnip: have you tried the "file" command?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> jhutchins: I dont have the file, Dave77 does
[16:18] <Pici> Mlar: can you pastebin the output of ls /usr/lib/python3.4/  ?
[16:19] <Dave77> well UI for kino looks reasonsble..  just need something to view mpeg2/ts and do basic edit on it under linux
[16:19] <Mlar> Pici: http://hastebin.com/omemolavew.avrasm
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Dave77: avidemux is ok 2
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Dave77: lightworks has been used in Oscar award winning films
[16:24] <Dave77> yes great.. looks like avidemux will do the trick..
[16:25] <bekks> avidemux was already proposed a pretty long time ago.
[16:26] <netrunner_> how can i change my language of my distribution?  from english to spanish?

[16:28] <Pici> Mlar: I suggest copying https://gist.github.com/bnrubin/b9e0ceb350ddb9c979c2 into /usr/lib/python3.4/site.py
[16:29] <Hasimir> heya ... anyone got contact details for the ubuntu hexchat package maintainer?
[16:31] <Rylee> Hasimir, http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/hexchat
[16:31] <Hasimir> Rylee, thanks (this distro isn't my poison of choice ... hence not having that url)
[16:32] <Rylee> I'm a debian gal, I just googled for it ;p
[16:32] <Mlar> Pici: Is it the same as site.py in python2.7?
[16:34] <nandersson> hi, what is the channel for the Ubuntu Phone?
[16:34] <Pici> Mlar: no.
[16:34] <Hasimir> Rylee, I've been caught in an infinite loop of canonical's entertainment + mint stuff following the channel invasions ...
[16:34] <Hasimir> google was not being my friend *sigh*
[16:34] <kostkon> !touch | nandersson
[16:35] <nandersson> thanks a lot! ubottu kostkon
[16:35] <Hasimir> Rylee, and I'm a slackware lad, we run the configure, make, make install dance daily  ;)
[16:43] <Mlar> Pici: Ok done:)
[16:44] <mbhatnag> Hello. I am trying to set up bridged networking for KVM on the latest Ubuntu Server. This is where I am stuck: http://pastebin.com/XnT2a4yy I am not able to stop networking. What is the cause?
[16:44] <Pici> Mlar: Okay.. that *should* resolve the site errors.
[16:45] <Mlar> Pici: Yep! Now it's blaming a module named 'stat' ;)
[16:45] <Pici> Mlar: you really messed up your python install.
[16:46] <rabin> .
[16:46] <Mlar> Pici: Any ideas how? I haven't touched it.
[16:47] <NGC3982> I'm trying to write a script that creates a bash friendly variable for the torrent name in rtorrent.rc. I want to use the variable in a new bash script. I have no idea on where to start reading. Is this a bash or rtorrent function?
[16:49] <meek_geek> omg Android is more like rolling release now
[16:49] <meek_geek> every other day we have updates
[16:49] <meek_geek> Ubuntu* I mean
[16:51] <Pici> Mlar: I'm not sure, there really shouldn't be any reason one, or even more than one of those files are missing.
[16:52] <Mlar> Pici: This is the first time I've been invovled with python in anyway, at least I feel like we've made some progress!
[16:55] <Mlar> Pici: Ok, after putting in stat.py it goes onto another file...
[16:56] <Mlar> Pici:ImportError: No module named '_collections_abc'
[16:59] <irwanatam> ubuntu-indonesia
[16:59] <Mlar> Pici: And so on... next one being sysconfig... any suggestions other than go through one by one?
[17:02] <Pici> Mlar: I think you should reinstall libpython3.4-minimal.  If apt won't let you do it, then download the deb and do it yourself.
[17:02] <Pici> Mlar: it is kind of sketchy to do that, but I'm not sure what else to suggest here.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libpython3.4-minimal has links for the download
[17:03] <Mlar> Pici: Sketchy in what sense?
[17:04] <Pici> Mlar: Well, maybe not sketchy.  Hacky maybe.  There really should be an on-system way of fixing this, but it seems to have broken apt's ability to install python files.
[17:04] <Mlar> Pici: Ok, I'll give that link a try, thanks!
[17:04] <Xtreme> guys, i am trying to do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[17:04] <Xtreme> but my bond interface doesnt add slave
[17:04] <Xtreme> what to do?
[17:04] <Pici> Mlar: Do you know how to install .deb files?  Just download the one for your correct architecture and then do dpkg -i  thatfile.deb
[17:05] <Mlar> Pici: Thanks, saves me googling how to do it :)
[17:06] <robynata> :-/
[17:06] <andrepl> Hello guys.
[17:06] <Xtreme> anyone/
[17:06] <andrepl> I have a problem with my ubuntu
[17:07] <robynata> what is your problem
[17:07] <andrepl> I cant acess facebook and outlook.
[17:07] <andrepl> I treid with firefox and crhome.
[17:08] <andrepl> The page dont load.
[17:08] <sjohnson> there could be a million reasons why.
[17:08] <robynata> try to update your browser
[17:08] <andrepl> Done.
[17:09] <Mlar> Pici: Done.
[17:10] <lovelinux> how do I play windows net games on linux
[17:11] <robynata> use steam
[17:11] <rantic> what are windows net games?
[17:11] <Pici> Mlar: okay... now try doing something that would give you those errors
[17:12] <Mlar> Pici: Errors appear gone, updated and upgrade commands run, autocleaning now... will try launching a few programmes!

[17:14] <mbhatnag> (I made a post on ubuntu forums)
[17:14] <Mlar> Pici: All appears to be working! Thank you so much for your help. Even the annoying red stop sign has gone. Any ideas how it might have broken?
[17:14] <trism> rsw: it is disabled by default in 11.04+, use /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log
[17:14] <Pici> Mlar: No idea.  It is a very weird problem.

[17:50] <Alina-malina> why this is happening?
[17:50] <jhutchins> Alina-malina: What did you try to do?  How did you try to do it?  What did you expect to happen?  What happened instead?
[17:51] <Alina-malina> jhutchins, i followed this tutorial
[17:51] <Alina-malina> http://linuxconfig.org/configuring-gmail-as-sendmail-email-relay
[17:51] <Alina-malina> after i did this: mkdir -m 700 /etc/mail/authinfo/   i cant access that folder
[17:51] <heap> hi, why using picasa 3.9, im doing nothing with the programme and its using around 80% cpu
[17:51] <Alina-malina> jhutchins, after i change permission to 754 it is same shit
[17:53] <Pici> Alina-malina: which user are you trying to access that path with? also, please mind your language here.
[17:53] <Alina-malina> Pici, python
[17:53] <jhutchins> Alina-malina: What does ls -ld /etc/mail/authinfo say?
[17:53] <Pici> Alina-malina: python?
[17:53] <thorie_> how come when i try to add a Depends: php5 (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.2) to my package control file, and i have that version of php5, it says 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.2
[17:53] <Alina-malina> jhutchins, drwxr-sr-- 2 root smmsp 4096 Jun 26 18:39 /etc/mail/authinfo
[17:54] <jhutchins> Alina-malina: so you have to be root to access it.
[17:55] <Alina-malina> shit
[17:55] <jhutchins> Alina-malina: special rule for directories.  Please keep thelanguage civil.
[17:56] <Alina-malina> jhutchins, are you sure i am not root?
[17:56] <Alina-malina> jhutchins, how to make myself root?

[18:05] <montreseur> Hey guys, Im having trouble compiling a python script from my terminal
[18:06] <montreseur> I have GCC, and when i do python3 I am able to use the python shell
[18:07] <Pici> montreseur: python scripts aren't compiled. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[18:07] <montreseur> however when I go through my file structure to compile using- python3 ~/bin/Scripts/Python/ <filename>.py
[18:07] <montreseur> Pici, I get an error saying that the module __main__ is not there
[18:07] <ki7mt> Pici, they can be, if you want pyc files
[18:07] <zibi_> !list
[18:07] <montreseur> interpret* not compile
[18:08] <Pici> montreseur: These are scripts that you've written yourself then?
[18:08] <montreseur> Pici, yes they are
[18:08] <Pici> montreseur: Then #python is really the best place to ask.
[18:09] <zibi_> !alis
[18:09] <ki7mt> not pyc, pyo file lol no ide why I put pyc :-)
[18:09] <montreseur> I am getting "can't find '__main__' module in <my file structure>
[18:10] <Fritzendugan> Hi, basically I'm trying to use a text editor to edit encrypted txt files (i.e., I just open the file, enter the credentials or whatever, and the editor handles all the encrypting/decrypting). I have seahorse installed and a GnuPG key setup. It's my understanding that seahorse has a "Text Encryption" plugin for gedit, but it's not showing up in my plugins list under edit->preferences->plugins. Anyone know how I can get the seahorse
[18:10] <Fritzendugan>  plugin to work?
[18:10] <Pici> montreseur: yes. That isn't an Ubuntu issue. It is a #python issue. Which is why I asked you to ask there.
[18:10] <Sunstream> nevermind
[18:10] <Sunstream> I will google it since no one knows
[18:10] <Pici> montreseur: You'll need to register/identify to join that channel though.

[18:20] <thorie> is there a ubuntu package maintainers chat room ?
[18:25] <ki7mt> thorie, #debian-mentors on OFTC is probably what you want, but it's not Ubuntu specific.
[18:26] <jhutchins> thorie: It is Debian specific and NOT for questions about packaging ubuntu.
[18:26] <thorie> ok
[18:26] <thorie> where can i get help for ubuntu packaging?
[18:26] <Pici> thorie: Theres #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu
[18:26] <thorie> thanks
[18:27] <ki7mt> jhutchins, I've not found a equal for Ubuntu, is like -motu or -devel the right one for packaging Ubuntu only?
[18:28] <ki7mt> Pici, Just posted it, whoops, I'm already in -motu, but not packaging, will join that and see what goes on there.
[18:29] <jhutchins> ki7mt: I don't know.
[18:29] <ki7mt> jhutchins, I think Pici  is on it, description says : Packaging apps and software for Ubuntu, including new packages, PPA packages, etc
[18:29] <jhutchins> ki7mt: It's rude to try to use the debian channels for ubuntu support though.  People can waste a lot of time trying to fix something that's not the same as debian.
[18:30] <jhutchins> ki7mt: Sounds good to me.
[18:30] <ki7mt> jhutchins, I dont both packages, so I spend allot of time in there, that's why I mentioned it.
[18:31] <ki7mt> whoops I do both packages .. ..
[18:44] <thorie> anyone know how to install gmake for ubuntu?
[18:44] <bekks> sudo apt-get install gmake ? :)
[18:45] <thorie> bekks: no such package

[18:58] <module000> Sunstream: an ircop sent a notice saying they were moving nodes for patching, and it would be noisy
[18:58] <Sunstream> yep
[18:58] <Streusel> I remember it a few months ago..
[18:59] <Sunstream> oh heh
[18:59] <Sunstream> i did not get that heh
[18:59] <module000> paste:  13:45 -tomaw(tom@freenode/staff/tomaw)- [Global Notice] Hi all. I'm going to reroute a hub and then restart a client server for a few updates. It'll be noisy but should be brief!
[18:59] <bprompt> ditto ^
[19:00]  * bprompt hands Sunstream  some lozenges for his "hacking"
[19:00] <Sunstream> lol
[19:00] <Streusel> Is there any attribute only a superuser can change? I can't think of any, I mean the owner of a file can change the suid/sgid and sticky bit, so the only thing I can think of would be the inode number, but can a su change that? is that even an attribute?
[19:01] <Sunstream> Anyone here an tell me what ctrl+alt+Del does on a ubuntu system I thought it would bring up a taskmanager but it caused my screen to black out and system to lok
[19:01] <Sunstream> lock
[19:04] <brainwave> Guys guess my boot time
[19:04] <brainwave> 5.7 seconds!
[19:04] <jami> I upgraded my ubuntu 14.04 and now my computer boot up is very slow. Is that a common problem?
[19:05] <jami> yeah mine is 1 minute
[19:05] <jami> or 1:30
[19:05] <brainwave> :D
[19:05]  * brainwave is feeling proud
[19:05] <brainwave> jami: you can do a systemd-analyze
[19:05] <brainwave> and systemd-analyze blame
[19:05] <jami> ssd i7 and 16gb ram
[19:05] <jami> oh ok
[19:05]  * cemotyz09 haha
[19:05] <brainwave> 1 minute on ssd is 'horrifying'
[19:06] <brainwave> I am on ssd, so to save my ssd writes, my browser profiles are on ram. This takes 0.8 seconds.
[19:06] <brainwave> After that my comp has 5.7 seconds bootup.
[19:06] <brainwave> If I didn't start this profile loading, I could boot in 4.9 seconds
[19:06] <kdz> brainwave nice
[19:06] <brainwave> :D
[19:06] <brainwave> kdz: thanks
[19:06] <jami> how do i do a systemd-analyze
[19:06] <Pici> brainwave: er... is that really going to help on Ubuntu, which doesn't use systemd?
[19:06] <kdz> i also have a ssd as os hdd
[19:06] <brainwave> jami: terminal?
[19:06] <kdz> its brilliant
[19:06] <brainwave> Pici: oh!!??
[19:06] <kdz> run 2 vm's on it :D
[19:06] <brainwave> It doesn't
[19:06] <jami> i dont have such a program
[19:06] <rww> not in 14.04, no
[19:07] <brainwave> Sorry have been using arch since some time :-(
[19:07] <jami> and aptitude says meh
[19:07] <brainwave> sorry jami I cannot help you
[19:07] <jami> k
[19:07] <jami> np
[19:07] <kdz> does ubuntu have a swop file like with windows?
[19:07] <brainwave> kdz: obviously.
[19:07] <jami> swap
[19:07] <brainwave> swap
[19:07] <kdz> how do i increase the size?
[19:07] <thorie> anyone know how to install make?
[19:07] <brainwave> kdz: it isn't there. you go to choose one I guess.
[19:07] <Pici> kdz: We use a swap partition by default. And why do you think you need to increase its size?
[19:08] <brainwave> Although I do not about ubuntu.
[19:08] <jami> i have too much ram for swap
[19:08] <brainwave> thorie: make is part of build-essentials i suppose
[19:08] <jami> :D
[19:08] <kdz> Pici i have 2 vm's and only have 4gb ram
[19:08] <brainwave> jami: do you know how to calculate swap space?
[19:08] <jami> gparted
[19:09] <brainwave> that old twice of ram or same size as your ram is bullshit
[19:09] <Pici> kdz: okay? and?
[19:09] <jami> resize partition and it will take it i guss
[19:09] <kdz> pici its slow
[19:09] <avis> which log do i check for how my computer last locked up ?
[19:09] <brainwave> jami: I am asking how do you find out how much partition to allot
[19:09] <Pici> kdz: Using swap isn't going to make things any faster.
[19:09] <brainwave> !give avis anyone
[19:09]  * CookieM gives avis the Win2k Buglist
[19:09] <kdz> Pici awww done break my bubble
[19:09] <Pici> CookieM: Please disabel that in this channel.
[19:09] <brainwave> !give avis anyone
[19:09]  * CookieM gives avis a 10mbit network card
[19:10] <ki7mt> thorie, it should be installed by default, as is gcc, on command line: make --versoin should tell you the story. Build-essential if more for packaging than general compiling.
[19:10] <brainwave> kdz: what is slow?
[19:10] <Pici> brainwave: stop that
[19:10] <joelmo> Im trying to enable hibernate in ubuntu, no idea why this is disabled, I did what this guide said: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html but I stil get an error why I try to senda a hibernate signal:
[19:10] <joelmo> joelmo) dbus-send --system --print-reply \

[19:10] <joelmo>             org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate
[19:10] <joelmo> Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized
[19:10] <unopaste> joelmo you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[19:10] <kdz> brainwave after a while xp just goes numb
[19:10] <bprompt> brainwave:     well... it really depends on what you hardware specs and what you want running... .twice as much for swap back in the ol` days with sdram  or even ddr2    with low specs.... worked, these days    with a machine with 8gbs and maybe SSD to swap about... can't say.. I have 6gbs and only 1gb for swap on an SSD, the swap doesn't get used that often, thus
[19:11] <jami> brainwave: i dont know. In further times swap was neccessary and hibernation worked with it. The rule was swap = 2 * size of ram
[19:11] <jami> but i will not allocate 32 gb swap
[19:11] <kdz> i have 16gb ram at work
[19:12] <jami> me too
[19:12] <kdz> so that means i have to make a 32gb swap file?
[19:12] <kdz> :o
[19:12] <ki7mt> thorie, however if it's not installed, sudo apt-get install make gcc autoconf  should get you going in the right directions
[19:12] <josemiguelref> hi
[19:12] <bprompt> kdz:   how much physycal ram do you have?    ddr2?   ddr3?
[19:12] <Sengoku> Hey, what's the best way to do notifications? notify-send?
[19:12] <kdz> ddr3 4gb at home
[19:12] <jami> does that matter?
[19:12] <Pici> thorie: installing the build-essential package should bring in enough dependencies to compile basic programs.
[19:12] <brainwave> jami: kdz -> old swap rule is crap.
[19:12] <jami> yes it is
[19:12] <brainwave> jami: do a free -m right now
[19:13] <bprompt> kdz:     well...  what do you run?   something that uses more than 4gbs?
[19:13] <brainwave> I have alloted around 800mb for my 4gb ram.
[19:13] <brainwave> And it works proper for the last 2 months of using this computer.
[19:13] <jami> 15G       2,7G        12G        17M       163M       1,1G
[19:13] <jami> and 2 gb swap
[19:13] <brainwave> Browser running, etc.
[19:13] <kdz> bprompt ubuntu with 2 xp v,'s
[19:14] <bprompt> ol` swap size rule did work at the time for the specs at that time and software, is always a relative matter, for many folks who have 8gbs, they may not need a swap, but is all relative
[19:14] <joelmo> Do anyone know how to enable hibernate, I have tried this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7707441/ i followed the instructions in this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
[19:15] <brainwave> what does ubuntu use instead of systemd?
[19:15] <rsw> hey, i'm running 12.04 and installed dwm via apt-get.  if i wanna edit the source and recompile should i use apt-get and remove it and start fresh, or did the source download with the package?
[19:15] <ki7mt> Upstart / Init.d
[19:15] <jami> sysV
[19:15] <bprompt> kdz:        then... maybe    dunno how much vbox uses for ram.. but I'd say   the 2 * times rule may apply at this case
[19:16] <brainwave> rsw: you got to enable sources for repositories
[19:16] <ki7mt> but it's headed to systemd I believe
[19:16] <brainwave> bprompt: 2 times rule no longer applies for >2gig machines
[19:16] <jami> i dont like systemd
[19:16] <ki7mt> Ok
[19:16] <brainwave> systemd is awesome :p
[19:16] <joelmo> brainwave: upstart for daemons
[19:16] <jami> meeh :D
[19:16] <bprompt> brainwave:     because?
[19:17] <brainwave> bprompt: because it is a replacement for a bunch of tools.
[19:17] <joelmo> brainwave: I can't remember, I believe the documentation may explain this
[19:17] <jami> is it possible to run zfs instead of lvm on ubuntu?
[19:18] <bprompt> brainwave:     as I understand, swap area is just compensation for physical memory, and that hasn't changed
[19:18] <ki7mt> Yeah, here Marks comments on systemd: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316
[19:18] <joelmo> do anyone understand why hibernate is disabled by defauly
[19:19] <brainwave> joelmo: hibernate isn't disabled as such!
[19:19] <joelmo> hibernate is as harmless as shutting down the computer?
[19:19] <brainwave> How do I clear on this channel?
[19:19] <brainwave> joelmo: indeed.
[19:19] <joelmo> brainwave: but I have to be sudo to hibernate
[19:19] <brainwave> joelmo: ya.
[19:19] <brainwave> That is called disabled by default?
[19:20] <joelmo> brainwave: I should have said disabled for the user
[19:20] <kdz> wjhat! no naruto today
[19:20] <ki7mt> joelmo, Bascially, because it doesn't always work with all hardware, the help documentation explains this.
[19:21] <joelmo> ki7mt: ok thanks
[19:23] <brainwave> so ubuntu must be really difficult to support
[19:23] <brainwave> Lots of new users.
[19:24] <bekks> brainwave: The old users are used to that ;)
[19:24] <brainwave> kdz: assigning 3/5 of your ram or 1/2 of your ram for swapfile should be enough.
[19:25] <brainwave> bekks: ha ha. :) Nice one.
[19:25] <kdz> i only gave XP 1GB ram
[19:25] <DJones> brainwave: Not so much new users, just users rejoining after one of the freenode servers was rebooted
[19:25] <kdz> i have like 4gb in total
[19:25] <jami> that should be enough for every windows ^^
[19:25] <brainwave> DJones: ya I saw. 'enormous' netsplit no?
[19:25] <DJones> brainwave: yep that was it
[19:26] <bekks> jami: Which isnt true :) W7 recommends at least 2GB, and 4 or 8 are even better.
[19:26] <brainwave> DJones: nasty one. Never seen a netsplit this big.
[19:26] <brainwave> kdz: how can you give xp ram exclusively?
[19:26] <brainwave> your ram will be shared, xp or ubuntu no?
[19:26] <Sunstream> Next system I am going to build is going to have 16GB of ram.
[19:26]  * kdz by default installs 8gb at work for all pc's but my boss doesnt want me to isntall 8gb
[19:26] <ki7mt> Win7 on 2gb ram runs at a snails pace with any sort of apps running.
[19:27] <brainwave> ki7mt: win7 is a shit os :p
[19:27] <ki7mt> +1
[19:27] <jami> better than win8
[19:27] <kdz> just get win8.1
[19:27] <ki7mt> Lesser of two evils I'd say
[19:27] <brainwave> no offense to any microsoft guys here but, seriously. It's like they work hard to create an OS that doesn't perform well.
[19:27] <brainwave> No windows makes me feel happy.
[19:27] <brainwave> :-(
[19:27] <Sunstream> I hope 16GB of ram will be enough to run Windows 8.1, Ubuntu, Mint, and another version of Linux all at the same time :)
[19:28] <brainwave> Sunstream: you use VM?
[19:28] <jami> xp does ... 13 years ago
[19:28] <brainwave> why?
[19:28] <kdz> someone should really make a kick ass outlook like app

[19:29] <f00dMonsta> it just made like 1GB worth of requests.... for the same domain
[19:29] <kdz> white wine more than red
[19:30] <jami> f00dMonsta: whats the lease time
[19:31] <jami> thats another problem here. With 14.04 my wine performance or better sc2 performance is shit :/
[19:31] <IdleOne> Please keep the language clean in here

[19:31] <brainwave> that's other language word for what you want to say
[19:31] <jami> wtf is tatti
[19:32] <brainwave> jami: clean language
[19:32] <IdleOne> brainwave: consider his removal your only warning
[19:32] <IdleOne> !guidelines
[19:32] <brainwave> ah ok. apologies.
[19:32] <thorie> Pici, ki7mt thanks

[19:36] <sanakovich> guys . how can i install team viewer on ubuntu 14.04 !
[19:36] <sanakovich> Hello!
[19:37] <avis> which log do i check for how my computer last locked up ?
[19:37] <bekks> sanakovich: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/363-How-do-I-install-TeamViewer-on-my-Linux-distribution.aspx
[19:38] <jami> f00dMonsta: Well sir. Is there a /etc/dnsmasq.conf configuration available
[19:38] <f00dMonsta> jami: its the default
[19:38] <brainwave> avis: locked up as in?
[19:38] <Cerratux> hello everyone
[19:39] <avis> exactly that from a fresh install.  hardware all good.  i think something shorted out
[19:39] <sanakovich> i have error in app store when i run teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
[19:40] <brainwave> avis: that is a long shot.
[19:40] <avis> brainwave locked up as in computer rendered unfunctional
[19:40] <Cerratux> can someone tell me what kind of app can you build with ubuntu sdk?
[19:41] <jami> f00dMonstacat: And in /var/lib/dhcp3
[19:41] <brainwave> avis: but symtomps?
[19:41] <brainwave> Cerratux: any kind?
[19:41] <f00dMonsta> jami: dun worry too much about it, I don't *need* it, just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their heads of why that could happen.I have already uninstalled it (after my IT guy shit on me, and I discovered the problem :<)
[19:41] <brainwave> avis: is it giving a message.
[19:41] <avis> brainwave can't type can't maneuver or do anything
[19:41] <brainwave> avis:
[19:41] <brainwave> is the screen on and black. Is it off and black. Is there a message on screen.
[19:41] <Cerratux> well is based on python?
[19:42] <ki7mt> Cerratux, may want to spend some time reading Ubuntu developer first: http://developer.ubuntu.com/apps/sdk/
[19:42] <Cerratux> i will ...
[19:42] <avis> brainwave its a new computer never been opened.  all graphics on the screen is still there with a locked mouse and no scrolling or anything like that
[19:42] <sanakovich> how can i install team viewer on ubuntu 14.04 !!!
[19:43] <bekks> sanakovich: Did you read the link I gave you?
[19:43] <jami> sanakovich: over the teamviewer website
[19:43] <cemotyz09> Sankovich go to the website the other person gave you and it tells you pretty plainly what to do
[19:43] <sanakovich> yes ... i said i have error when i run teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
[19:43] <jami> download the deb and install it
[19:44] <brainwave> avis: is it running Linux?
[19:44] <bekks> sanakovich: So pastebin it please.
[19:44] <bekks> !pastebin | sanakovich
[19:44] <brainwave> avis: is it a laptop?
[19:44] <jami> sanakovich: which arch did u choose
[19:45] <avis> brainwave, its running ubuntu 12.04
[19:45] <avis> brainwave its a desktop
[19:45] <bekks> jami: He chose 64bit, but we dont know the error yet.
[19:45] <avis> which log do i check for how my computer last locked up ?
[19:45] <brainwave> avis: try booting with nomodeset
[19:46] <sanakovich> sorry i'm new here . + i use Voyager
[19:46] <bekks> sanakovich: Whats voyager?
[19:46] <jami> spaceship i guess
[19:46] <sanakovich> http://voyagerlive.org/
[19:46] <Cerratux> avis: does your computer have bluetooth?
[19:46] <brainwave> avis: it could be any log. Try checking Xorg logs since it boots at end
[19:46] <jami> or a satellite
[19:47] <brainwave> Also avis try booting to terminal (non graphical) and see if you get that working.
[19:47] <bekks> sanakovich: So please ask the voyager support, since you are using an OS which isnt supported in here.
[19:47] <avis> Cerratux, yes it does
[19:47] <rsw> ive never looked at the ubuntu sdk before, it's based on qtcreator?  isn't ubuntu gtk-centric?
[19:47] <Cerratux> well i had the same problem
[19:47] <Beldar> jami, Your random posts of no importance and lack of nick prefaces will have you in users ignore, this is support.
[19:47] <jami> avis are you using cable connected mouse?
[19:47] <sanakovich> i know voyager is like ubuntu .... is the same
[19:47] <Cerratux> try unplug the bluetooth device
[19:47] <avis> yes i am
[19:47] <avis> i dont have a bluetooth device
[19:48] <Cerratux> turn it of
[19:48] <bekks> sanakovich: It is not the same. It is an unsupported derivative. So please proceed to the voyager support.
[19:48] <Cerratux> off
[19:48] <jami> Beldar: thx
[19:48] <avis> it was off at the time
[19:48] <sanakovich> can i run team viewer.exe with wine ??
[19:48] <bekks> sanakovich: Ask the voyager support.
[19:48] <Cerratux> the problem you have is that ubuntu boot up but
[19:48] <sanakovich> ok ok i'll
[19:49] <Cerratux> the keyboard and mouse don't respond right?
[19:49] <rsw> sanakovich: i typically run the program with wine from a terminal and watch the output.  if it works then awesome, otherwise debugging is sometimes easy
[19:50] <rsw> there
[19:50] <sanakovich> sudo apt-get install wine
[19:50] <bekks> sanakovich: ...
[19:50] <sanakovich> what !
[19:50] <sanakovich> bekks .......
 there is a script with Teamviewverx64 for linux
[19:52] <rsw> teamviewer is listed in the winehq appdb
[19:52] <sanakovich> where can i find this script !
[19:52] <Cerratux> you must search at google teamviewver for ubuntu 64 bit
[19:52] <Cerratux> let me search it for you.
[19:52] <rsw> says teamviewer runs perfectly in wine
[19:53] <Cerratux> yeah it should run in wine but
[19:53] <sanakovich> ahh really .... ok
[19:53] <Cerratux> i think it works better natively
[19:53] <rsw> the "native" version is apparently actually just wine anyway
[19:54] <rsw> according to the entry in winehq
[19:54] <sanakovich> teamviewer 9 or 8 ????,
[19:54] <rsw> 9
[19:54] <sanakovich> ok . thanks
[19:55] <anonymous_> hello
[19:55] <anonymous_> hello everyone
[19:56] <rsw> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=595
 do you have experience with the terminal?
[19:56] <sanakovich> LOL ... lét's try ....
[19:56] <bt> hey guys
[19:57] <bt> i have question about ubuntu security
[19:57] <rsw> sanakovich: this is the teamviewer entry in winehq, whenever you want to know if an app will work in wine, the appdb should be your first stop http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=595
[19:57] <Sunstream> can anyone tell me how to bring up a the gui task killer
[19:57] <Cerratux> http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
[19:57] <esuave> question.. if I had to recompile openssl to a newer version.. do I have to recompile my apache install for it to see that new version of openssl as well?
[19:57] <Cerratux> there is
[19:58] <bekks> esuave: why do you think you need a newer ssl version?
[19:58] <Cerratux> double click it will work.
[19:58] <esuave> for vulnerabilities
[19:58] <esuave> have to upgrade openssl
[19:58] <TJ-> bt: see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/
[19:58] <kdz> my ssl cert died
[19:58] <kdz> or expired
[19:59] <Sunstream> Does it cost to get a SSL certif?
[19:59] <bekks> esuave: So just run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:59] <esuave> yeah we compiled openssl on old versions of ubuntu..
[19:59] <esuave> theres no way to apt-get update on 8.04 to the version we need
[19:59] <esuave> lol
[20:00] <TJ-> Sunstream: If you want one that is accepted my major web-browsers there are some low/no cost options, if you just need an X509 certificate you can issue your own
[20:00] <sanakovich> -rsw- THANK YOUUUU
[20:00] <bekks> !heron | esuave
[20:00] <bt> my security problem is above what explained in the ubuntu.com
[20:00] <sanakovich> i'll be back ;)
[20:00] <sanakovich> nice to be here :)
[20:00] <Sunstream> nods
[20:00] <Sunstream> k
[20:01] <bekks> bt: Can you give us the link to the explanation please?
[20:01] <esuave> I know.. I know.. :| unfortunately the company I work for does not understand this haha
[20:01] <bekks> esuave: Which doesnt make it supported.
[20:01] <esuave> :)
[20:01] <bt> http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/
[20:01] <bt> that one u guys gave me.
[20:01] <bekks> esuave: Just present this link then: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[20:02] <annikkawoods> Pidgin says it's available/connecting and won't connect. I'm trying to get my Yahoo Messenger up and running. It worked last night but isn't working now.
[20:02] <bekks> bt: And whats your specific question to which specific USN?
[20:02] <Cerratux> someone know about quickly?
[20:02] <esuave> I plan on it! Thanks bekks
[20:03] <bt> my ubuntu desktop hacked by some forgin hackers.
[20:03] <CyanBlob> Hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and am getting a crackling sound out of my external, 3.5mm speakers that is not present when the speakers are connected to other devices. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
[20:03] <bekks> bt: So reinstall it.
[20:03] <bt> i did that for almost 5 times.
[20:03] <bt> they just keep hacking me.
[20:03] <bekks> bt: How do you know that?
[20:03] <Sunstream> How did you get hacked?
[20:04] <ki7mt> That doesn't add up
[20:04] <meek_geek> how to remove VLC completely ?
[20:04] <bt> they find my ip address from isp and even when i change my provider they did hack ubuntu again.
[20:04] <Sunstream> can you change your IP
[20:05] <bprompt> meek_geek:     sudo apt-get remove vlc;   sudo apt-get autoremove;
[20:05] <Sunstream> bt got a good firewall
[20:05] <meek_geek> when i purge vlc_ only vlc goes all the plugins etc are there which were installed by default with vlc
[20:05] <bekks> bt: How do you know that?
[20:05] <Beldar> meek_geek, remove vlc from /home/.config
[20:05] <bt> sunstream it is dynamic ip address from isp.
[20:06] <bekks> bt: So how do they "hack" you?
[20:06] <TJ-> bt: You'll need to be more specific on how these external attackers compromise your PC - what, specifically, do they cause to happen?
[20:06] <SerialThrilla> Hey, I just installed lubuntu on my Asus Aspire V5-122P, but I hate the mouse-pad, instead of having two seperate buttons for the mouse buttons it's all one big sensitive pad, so when you press a mouse button the cursor moves slightly, which is very annoying. Is there any way that I could 'desensitize' a portion of my mouse pad, so this dosen't happen?
[20:06] <Sunstream> You have to be run a server or something that attacks them
[20:06] <bt> i think when im connecting to net, my computer sends my new ip address to them.
[20:06] <bekks> bt: Do you actually read what people answer to you? :)
[20:06] <meek_geek> Beldar, when i click volume button in the panel i still see the VLC below gmusicbrowser there
[20:06] <Beldar> meek_geek, If you trully purge and reinstall you will get the stock config
[20:06] <bt> yeah.
[20:07] <ki7mt> If he does, read it, he's not understanding it.
[20:07] <bekks> bt: So answer the question please :)
[20:07] <Beldar> meek_geek, What is your end goal?
[20:07] <TJ-> Remember, English isn't everyone's first language
[20:07] <Sunstream> Odd, I never heard of malware on linux
[20:08] <bt> they altered my ubuntu some how, i don't know exactly , maybe a rootkit, bootpc etc.
[20:08] <_2_choppi4453> hi
[20:08] <bekks> bt: Can you be more specific what "alters" means exactly? What did you see what they "altered"?
[20:09] <meek_geek> Beldar, I want to remove VLC completely .. i see that after purging vlc i see VLC option when i click Volume Button in the top right of the screen
[20:09] <TJ-> bt: 1. What media do you install Ubuntu from?  2. What other devices are connected to your *local* (home) network? 3. What router/gateway device connects your *local* network to the ISP?
[20:09] <ki7mt> even if they they have the IP addy, they still need access to the box, and that is not easy to do
[20:09] <bt> i installed ubuntu from a trusted dvd.
[20:10] <Sunstream> look in USERS and see if there is any "users" in there that do not belong
[20:10] <Beldar> meek_geek, Purge and remove the /home/.config/vlc folder it mat take a logout to remove it from where you see it.
[20:10] <bt> i don't have any other devices except my system.
[20:10] <Beldar> may*
[20:10] <bt> and i use adsl router/modem to connect to internet.
[20:10] <meek_geek> Beldar, I think it is vlc-jack-plugin or something which i see in a simple search of packages
[20:10] <TJ-> bt: So your PC makes a direct connection to the ISP - it has an internal modem?
[20:11] <Sunstream> In system tools User and Groups
[20:11] <TJ-> bt: OK, so your local router/gateway is an xDSL device? Can you tell us the make/model of that device?
[20:11] <Beldar> meek_geek, Or desktop restart, so remove all vlc in your computer, if you install synaptic you will see them in a gui.
[20:11] <linuxthefish> hi, is ubuntu with unity good for productivity?
[20:11] <bekks> linuxthefish: Sure.
[20:12] <Beldar> linuxthefish, All subjective find out yourself.
[20:12] <bt> external modem, connects to isp by itself and my computer gets to internet by dhcp server of modem.
[20:12] <Sunstream> and if you see any strange users change the password or kill it (remove it)
[20:12] <meek_geek> Beldar, how to remove vlc-plugins all of them /
[20:12] <Beldar> Beldar> meek_geek, Or desktop restart, so remove all vlc in your computer, if you install synaptic you will see them in a gui. This is not understandable?
[20:12] <Cerratux> sudo apt-get remove vlc*
[20:12] <bt> that's the point, there isn't any strang things like new users or something else.
[20:13] <TJ-> bt: Without specific further evidence, the ISP modem/router/gateway is just as likely to be giving away your current ISP IP address, if not more likely, than a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu from trusted install media
[20:13] <Beldar> meek_geek, I'm not sure your "plugin" hypothesis is accurate to be honest, never heard of any and I use vlc primarily, maybe I have just needed any not sure.
[20:13] <meek_geek> Cerratux, omg I was using the same but with aptitude and it said cannot find the package "vlc*"
[20:14] <meek_geek> is aptitude outdated ?
[20:14] <meek_geek> Should not i be using it ?
[20:14] <meek_geek> How can I search packages using apt-get ?
[20:14] <ki7mt> apt-cache search
[20:14] <Beldar> meek_geek, Not if you do not understand it's strengths or weaknesses.
[20:14] <meek_geek> ki7mt, thanks
[20:15] <meek_geek> Beldar, I see but the problem is i was using aptitude to remove"vlc*"
[20:15] <bt> TJ - how about my modems internal logs?
[20:16] <ki7mt> meek_geek, or dpkg -s <pacckage-name> for status, see man dpkg for more info
[20:16] <bt> there is intrusion alert in my modem logs.
[20:16] <kraftb> hello !
[20:16] <kraftb> There is a PPA which contains a package being compiled for maverick. I can't just plain install it in trusty because of unmet dependencies (binutils minor version mismatch)
[20:16] <kraftb> how could I update the package?
[20:17] <TJ-> bt: That's something you'd have to look at yourself, or via your ISP if they provide the device. You've still not told us what, specifically, this cracking is - an external entity has your public IP address... but unless the modem/gateway/router is compromised badly, there is nothing useful they can do with it unless they're causing a denial of service
[20:17] <Beldar> meek_geek, Okay, however it is only one method there are a handful of others, and we cannot read your mind or go through every possible question of contingencies is all. You have realized yourself though your own limitations in this , that is growth, good job. ;)
[20:17] <ki7mt> kraftb, contacnt the maintainer and tell them to update their package :-)
[20:18] <kraftb> ki7mt: I will do ...
[20:18] <kraftb> ki7mt: but how could I at least build the package
[20:18] <kraftb> when I do "apt-get --build source openhantek-extractfw" I get
[20:18] <ki7mt> kraftb, if your really ambitious, look at the source packaging debian/control file and re-work the package yourself.
[20:18] <bt> TJ - at first i monitored with etherape and i find out that connecting from another victms computers.
[20:19] <TJ-> kraftb: Depending (!) on the package's dependencies, you may end up needing to rebuild an entire chain of packages and sub-packages
[20:19] <kraftb> "Unmet build dependencies: autotools-dev"
[20:19] <ki7mt> kraftb, use pbuilder-dist, pbuilder or sbuild to build the .deb pakage
[20:19] <kraftb> But I guess I would just have to update the allowed version number of autotools somewhere
[20:19] <kraftb> I don't think it won't build with up-to-date versions of autotools and binutils!
[20:19] <bt> then, they i switched to modem/router dhcp, that direct connections stopped.
[20:20] <jcrawford> hey guys i have ubuntu installed on my mac pro and at times it freezes, how can i determine why it is freezing?
[20:20] <ki7mt> kraftb, Yes, that's config.guess, config.sub, just install it, sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
[20:20] <TJ-> bt: That would be expected. Every publicly routable IPv4 address in the world probably receives port-scans and connection attempts at the rate of several per minute, or more
[20:20] <meek_geek> Beldar, after puring i cannot see /home/.config/vlc
[20:20] <meek_geek> purging*
[20:21] <ki7mt> kraftb, If it was built for Maverick, then no, the debian/dontrol file version will be way out of date.
[20:21] <ki7mt> .. debian/control file .. . ..
[20:21] <kraftb> ki7mt: The package builds properly if I add the "-d" switch to dpkg-buildpackage
[20:21] <Beldar> meek_geek, A period before a file means hidden hit ctrl-h.
[20:21] <bt> i monitored the service those ip's tried to connect.
[20:21] <TJ-> bt: Connection attempts can't do anything at all - even without a firewall - if there is no service listening on the target port on your PC
[20:21] <meek_geek> Beldar, I did but nothing there
[20:22] <kraftb> Hmm ... Ok. I think I am right now just at the point to decide wheter it is sufficient for me to get the package working for myself or to push an updated version to PPA
[20:22] <bt> they can sniff from the isp side, can't they?
[20:22] <ki7mt> kraftb, it still need to be updated, for Trusty.
[20:22] <ki7mt> kraftb, and Precise as well.
[20:23] <TJ-> bt: They can try to connect to, for example, port 80 for HTTP. But if your PC has no service on port 80 then nothing will happen aside from their connection being refused
[20:24] <ki7mt> Exactly, how are they breaching the box should the the focus right now, the IP addy is secondary until the hole is plugged.
[20:24] <bnutyer> is dist-upgrade the correct way to keep a stable release up to date?
[20:24] <Pici> bnutyer: yes.
[20:24] <bt> TJ: how can i encrypt my internet connection?
[20:24] <bnutyer> Pici: thank you
[20:25] <TJ-> bt: That's usually a per-application-protocol issue - for web-browsing always use HTTPS (SSL/TLS to port 443) for the destination server.
[20:26] <Trfsrfr> My wireless internet quit working on my old desktop v12.04. When I click the signal button it doesnt see my router. How do I diagnose this? It's not a router problem.
[20:26] <Bashing-om> bnutyer: -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade ( youe see "held packages") , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade < -.
[20:26] <Beldar> meek_geek, Than a purge must have removed it. Your original contention was upon a purge you had the same config basically it took about 4 posts to restate as being seen in the volume dropdown, just hard to parse your message when spread across the channel rather that in a single concise description
[20:26] <TJ-> bt: You could also use a virtual private network to transport your Internet traffic to a remote server you control, which then makes the Internet connections, or your could use an anonymising network such as TOR, although you should never trust those 100%
[20:27] <TJ-> Trfsrfr: What Wifi band is the router operating on, 802.11b/g/n  (2.4GHz) ?
[20:27] <meek_geek> Beldar, Ok I did it all now I would try reset and see if the vlc option in the dropdown menu goes away
[20:28] <Trfsrfr> TJ- Im unsure. Its a Netgear Rangemax WPN824
[20:29] <Sunstream> sigh
[20:29] <Sunstream> What is the shortcut key(s) to Task Manager
[20:30] <Z3_> Hi, I use Audacious media player, and I wonder what's the best Bit depth. By default, it has 16 bits, but it can be increased to more bits until the best setting called "floating point". I notice a difference in sound quality, but I would like to know if the original sound is altered in any away changing this setting, or you really got the best audio quality.
[20:30] <Trfsrfr> TJ - box says b/g 2.4ghz
[20:31] <Trfsrfr> 802.11
[20:31] <TJ-> Trfsrfr: WiFi uses 'channels', and depending on where you are in the world, different 'regulatory domains' allow different combinations of channels. For example, there are 14 802.11b/g channels, but the USA can only use 1-11. Sometimes, a WiFi Access Point will decide to operate on one of the channels it ought not, and therefore PCs complying with the regulatory domain will fail to connect to it. So, first I'd suggest you discover which WiFi band (2.4GHz 802.11b/g
[20:31] <TJ-> /n or 5GHz 802.11a/n) the Access Point is operating on, and then ensure your PC can use the channel the AP is using
[20:32] <meek_geek> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer

[20:35] <Trfsrfr> TJ - the box reads 802.11 b/g 2.4ghz
[20:35] <Bashing-om> meek_geek: Ya want to use ppa-purge in that instance : http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies ; <also includes ppa-purge info.
[20:36] <FerrariGuy> How do i chroot local users in vsftp?
[20:36] <rsw> are there incoming net traffic logs i can view?
[20:36] <TJ-> Trfsrfr: OK, so identify which channel the AP is using, and then check in your PC's logs ("/var/log/syslog") that Network Manager is scanning for networks. Also, if the SSID of the WLAN is hidden it won't be auto-discovered, and you'll need to *manually* configure a WLAN connection with that SSID first, for the PC to scan for it
[20:37] <meek_geek> Bashing-om, ok thanks
[20:38] <FerrariGuy> Chroot..vsftp?
[20:38] <Sunstream> bt that is an iranian destination
[20:40] <TJ-> Sunstream: Yes, bt is in Iran, that's the point really
[20:40] <Sunstream> ok the other address is in the Ukraine
[20:41] <MichaelP> 14.04 have gnome 3.12 installed.... but only see totem 3.10 in repo... where is the new totem ?
[20:42] <xangua> MichaelP: 14.04 doesn't ship with gnome 3.12
[20:42] <MichaelP> xangua, i know.. i added ppa
[20:43] <xangua> then you should contact the PPA maintainer MichaelP
[20:55] <m1aw> can someone explain where the colors in an ssh connection to a remote server are processed? in the terminal?
[20:57] <hieronemus> How come this command is not working  ssh -o "ProxyCommand ssh -q -W %h:%p me@127.0.0.1:3128" me@remote_gateway?
[20:58] <hieronemus> I did socks proxy before this ssh -D 3128 me@hump_host
[21:02] <kraftb> what does a PPA package maintainer have to do to update a package to a newer ubuntu version?
[21:03] <kraftb> if everything still compiles properly
[21:03] <TJ-> kraftb: Update the package dependencies, changelog version update
[21:05] <ki7mt> dh-helper version, Standards version and Build it on Sid then UBuntu flavors
[21:08] <mii> can i install amd drivers without using them ?
[21:09] <daftykins>  mii what's the point?
[21:10] <mii> i need to use a gpu based application, but i didnt like it when i installed it in additional drivers
[21:11] <daftykins> mii: likely the driver needs to be used to make use of OpenCL or whatever one it is
[21:13] <mii> daftykins: ok thanks

[21:26] <BenNZ> josemiguelref: what was on the partition you removed?
[21:27] <josemiguelref> nothing, i think these partitions were created the first time i tried to install ubuntu
[21:27] <meek_geek_> !seen
[21:27] <meek_geek_> ok
[21:28] <josemiguelref> BenNZ: someone told me that perhaps this is because i tried to install ubuntu with windows 8 in UEFI mode but now the computer boot in BIOS mode
[21:29] <BenNZ> josemiguelref: as far as i know you can run ubuntu in uefi mode , but it could be , change that and see if you can boot into win 8

[21:36] <uv> josemiguelref: i think you can install without using legacy..
[21:36] <uv> josemiguelref: are you dual booting?
[21:56] <vertak> OK thanks, I do not have any questions now by I am about to embark on such a development adventure, and wanted to know before annoying people here.
[21:58] <Jonii> What's up with ubuntu 14.04 occasionally just freezing for like 5min?
[21:58] <Paddy_NI> Is it possible to install Ubuntu to an SD Card from within an existing ubuntu installation?
[21:58] <Jonii> Happens with almost every software included in the installation, you do something processor-intesive, and suddenly your computer becomes unresponsive for a couple of minutes. Occasionally it's just that particular program, more often it's the entire computer
[21:58] <Paddy_NI> I don't want to create the typical "live media"
[21:59] <Paddy_NI> Jonii, That sounds nasty have you tested your ram?
[21:59] <Jonii> Paddy_NI: happens on all my systems, not just one
[22:00] <Jonii> so I really don't think it's anything hardware-related. The only common thing is that it's always ubuntu
[22:00] <Paddy_NI> Jonii, I have several 14.04 (64 bit_ installations none of which has this issue
[22:00] <Paddy_NI> Jonii, Do you know what the other thing they have in common is?
[22:00] <Paddy_NI> YOU :-P
[22:01] <Jonii> Paddy_NI: have you ever tried transmission bittorrent client?
[22:01] <Paddy_NI> Jonii, Constantly yes
[22:01] <Paddy_NI> It's always running
[22:01] <Jonii> Downloading something with that is an easy way to demonstrate what happens to me at random intervals for other software as well
[22:02] <Paddy_NI> As I said
[22:02] <Jonii> Unless you're throttling download speed to below 2mBps
[22:02] <Paddy_NI> Sounds to me like you either have used a dodgy iso image or installation medium or your hardware has issues
[22:03] <DrakkenWarr> ^^
[22:03] <SchrodingersScat> Paddy_NI: should be a couple ways to install to sd card, one would be using a VM to load the live cd and give the vm access to the SD card, iirc
[22:03] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, I was thinking the very same thing
[22:03] <SchrodingersScat> !info debootstrap | Paddy_NI, another possible option,
[22:03] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, I has wondered if "Ubiquity" was available from the package manager from within an existing installation
[22:04] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, Thank you :-)
[22:05] <SchrodingersScat> Paddy_NI: not sure on ubiquity
[22:06] <SchrodingersScat> Paddy_NI: oh, well, it's in the repos, not sure if it can install an OS to your card, hav'net tried
[22:06] <Paddy_NI> :-)
[22:12] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, So far so good :-)
[22:13] <SchrodingersScat> Paddy_NI: which are you trying? just curious
[22:13] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, The "ubiquity" installer :-)
[22:14] <Paddy_NI> SchrodingersScat, And the installer crashed :-)
[22:15] <Paddy_NI> debootstrap is something I am unfamiliar with... I guess it's time to get familiar :-)
[22:19] <holstein> heap: no. i have not looked at your dropbox file..
[22:24] <brasileiro> hi, does anybody knows if the ecryptfs implementation on ubuntu is vulnerable to the evil maid attack (http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com.br/2009/10/evil-maid-goes-after-truecrypt.html)?
[22:29] <tigefa> spotify
[22:38] <Beldar> brasileiro, You know some maids or something?
[22:39] <Beldar> you leaving your stuff laying around for people to access?
[22:39] <brasileiro> Beldar, heheh actually I'm concerned about my brother...
[22:40] <brasileiro> Beldar, recently he thinks of himself as a "hacker" you know?
[22:40] <Beldar> brasileiro, Ah the evilbrother thang, heheh. ;)
[22:41] <brasileiro> Beldar, so is it vulnerable?
[22:41] <Beldar> brasileiro, Show him the shank where and will use on  him,
[22:41] <Beldar> you use*
[22:42] <Beldar> no idea on vulnerability
[22:42] <alumno_> for me is good night
[22:44] <brasileiro> Beldar, ok, thanks =)
[22:47] <Beldar> brasileiro,  Are you sure you really need encryption? I mean it is a big piece of candy for many. Why bother if you are not a security agent for the state.
[22:48] <Beldar> any real privacy is a not really available unless you in a cave caring on rocks nobody finds.
[22:48] <Beldar> carving*
[22:55] <raji> hi
[23:08] <exarkun> On 14.04 when I maximize a window on my second display it is resized to be as tall as the display but only about 1/4th as wide.
[23:08] <exarkun> When it is not maximized, I can't move it so that the left-hand side is any further left than the center of the display.
[23:09] <exarkun> Half of the time when I unsuspend the login dialog doesn't appear.
[23:09] <alazare619_2> on xubuntu 14.04 with light-locker how do i keep my monitor able to turn off when inactive for awhile but disable that when vlc is full screen
[23:14] <nectarys> how do I to talk on ## channels please ?
[23:15] <prawnsalad> hi, ive just installed 14.04 under virtualbox and there is no network interface being detected. ive tried NAT + bridged. is there anything special i need to do?
[23:16] <nectarys> how do I to talk on ## channels please ?
[23:17] <k1l> nectarys: the moderation of channels is the issue of the operators. if you cant speak there ask the ops and read the channel guidelines. or ask in #freenode for help
[23:19] <Church> prawnsalad: is there really enabled adapter for guest? double check settings/network for guest if everything is enabled as it should
[23:21] <prawnsalad> Church: good point, i hadnt actually checked >.< running ubuntu server, but one was not automatically created in /etc/network/interfaces
[23:21] <prawnsalad> is that normal for 14.04?
[23:22] <Church> no clue. I run mint as host os, and use virtualbox for winxp, also with nat-ed interface for guest.
[23:23] <Church> hadn't anything special to do above that except installing virtualbox guest tools
[23:28] <saxgeek> Is there any reason for Xorg to consume 50% CPU when I'm not doing anything?
[23:29] <joseluis64> hello! I have a problem with wine
[23:30] <dabxxl> o hello oficial
[23:30] <joseluis64> I recently installed MSOffice 2010, sucess but now all the plain text files (including source code) now have in the open-with context menu tons of MS office applications
[23:30] <dabxxl> i just looking arx-net
[23:30] <joseluis64> It is a mess
[23:30] <ikonia> joseluis64: the guys in #winehq could help you with wine issues
[23:30] <joseluis64> ikonia is that so wine related?
[23:31] <ikonia> joseluis64: yes, msoffice is nothing to do wiht linux
[23:31] <ikonia> joseluis64: so any impact of it's install is related to wine
[23:31] <joseluis64> ikonia but msoffice didn't made the launchers...
[23:31] <ikonia> joseluis64: no, but the wine application did
[23:32] <saxgeek> Anyone else having a problem with Xorg consuming too much CPU?
[23:33] <ikonia> saxgeek: why don't you just focus on your problem, rather than other peoples
[23:33] <joseluis64> but a least nobody can tell me where that information of the mymetypes are stored?
[23:33] <ikonia> joseluis64: isn't it part of XDG data ?
[23:33] <joseluis64> I don't know, that's why I came here...
[23:33] <saxgeek> Well, I'm trying to figure out why it's doing that. And it's causing everything to lag so much.
[23:34] <celesteh> hello, I used to have an application called something like ubuntu software center that let me search for apps and install them. I can seem to find it on trusty. Does it have a new name or is it gone?
[23:34] <ikonia> joseluis64: I'd work it through with the wine guys to find out how the ms office triggers other ipdates
[23:34] <ikonia> saxgeek: so work it through, reboot, see if it's persistant, swap your video driver to vesa to see if it's driver specific, etc
[23:35] <cynicist> joseluis64: default mimetypes for the whole system are stored at /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[23:36] <saxgeek> Where do I find drivers for i915? I've tried to use the Intel Graphics Installer for Linux, but it won't install.
[23:36] <cynicist> joseluis64: per user in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[23:36] <ikonia> "tried to use"
[23:36] <joseluis64> cynist in that file everything is normal...
[23:36] <ikonia> saxgeek: there is nothing to install for intel - what EXACTLY have you done
[23:36] <ikonia> joseluis64: I think it's XDG data for the wine application
[23:37] <joseluis64> cynicist I will check the file in /usr
[23:37] <cynicist> joseluis64: sorry I was just answering your question, not sure what problem you have in particular
[23:37] <saxgeek> ikonia: Nothing. It's a fresh installation on my laptop.
[23:37] <joseluis64> cynicist don't worry is a suggestion that I will take
[23:38] <ikonia> saxgeek: how can that be ??? you just said "intel won't install" so for intel to not install, you must be doing something
[23:38] <ikonia> you must be doing something that is failing for you to say "Intel won't install"
[23:48] <jcrawford> anyone have any idea why on my mac pro Ubuntu's graphics would be messing up?  I didn't install any specific drivers it's doing pretty good on it's own but the graphics are a bit slow doing things like opening the Ubuntu search screen.
[23:48] <jcrawford> by messing up I mean going slow and sometimes having a hard time rendering i get rainbow lines etc.
[23:50] <rganiger> looking for zfs on ubuntu
[23:54] <bb0> has anyone tried plasma next
