[00:00] <mikeg3> hi I can't seem to get grub installed on my Windows Vista box when installing Ubuntu.  What should I do?
[00:04] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: Single hard drive ?
[00:05] <mikeg3> I actually have two hard drives, but Ubuntu doesn't see the second one.
[00:06] <brasileiro> I'm trying to watch a video file but it keeps stucking at some parts, and then continues... it's like hiccups hehehe... when I open the System Monitor it shows this waves that occurs at the same time: http://postimg.org/image/hygsywq5j/ any ideas what this might be? I've tried to use smplayer and VLC
[00:06] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: OK, ya got Vista on the 1st hard drive and ubuntu installed onto the second hard drive ? then boot ubuntu and run terminal command _. sudo update-grub <- .
[00:07] <mikeg3> trying to install it alongside Windows Vista SP2, 2GB RAM AMD Athlon X2 processor
[00:09] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: Different story somewhat .. do you presently have ubuntu installed and functioning ? and now you want to boot Vista from ubuntu's boot menu. Same command will work to pick up and chainload Vista to ubuntu's boot manager grub.
[00:09] <mikeg3> no ubuntu installs on the first HD, but grub fails to install.  I can't clean up the failed grub install.  No bootloader
[00:10] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: ok, we need then to properly install grub.. pastebinit the outputs of terminal commands -> sudo fdisk -lu , sudo parted -l <- from the liveDVD so we know what we are working with.
[00:12] <mikeg3> I have nothing installed right now.  deleted Ubuntu partition to start fresh, fixed the MBR.  But everytime I try to install ubuntu, it will install 99% and quit installing grub on a fatal error
[00:13] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: Humm .. still, need to see what we are working with -> sudo fdisk -lu , sudo parted -l <- will show how the hard disk(s) are partitioned.
[00:14] <joseluis64> .
[00:15] <anton02> what is the difference between radeon.o in kernel and the driver in extra repo " xf86-video-ati"?
[00:15] <mikeg3> I never see the grub menu at all where you can choose your OS
[00:17] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: We are to do this from the liveDVD/USB that you are using to install ubuntu with. Boot the liveDVD -> try ubuntu -> desk top -> key combo ctl+alt+t to get a terminal.
[00:17] <anton02> what is the difference between radeon.o in kernel and the driver in extra repo " xf86-video-ati"?
[00:19] <jcrawford> guys I went in and edited the /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and I set the DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=3 so why am I still getting a UI window when I reboot?
[00:20] <mikeg3> ok give me a second
[00:20] <jcrawford> trying to boot to shell mode so that i can install the Nvidia driver
[00:20] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: k, at your pace and comprehension.
[00:25] <brasileiro> CPU1 goes up to 40% from time to time
[00:25] <pgar23> what is the easiest way to rdp into ubuntu laptop from windows system?
[00:30] <pgar23> I read something about rdping into a ubuntu lapto from windows with cygwin and sshd but i don't understand...anyone familiar with the methods of remotely accessing linux machine frm windows machine?
[00:32] <Loshki> Dunno if its the easiest, but I used to use vnc to do that. Or nomachine's NX. There's also xrdp, which I've never used.
[00:32] <brasileiro> pgar23, I'm really rusted, but if you already enabled the sshd at the linux machine, all you have to do is install PuTTY to access it remotely
[00:33] <pgar23> yea but that is all cli right, brasileiro?
[00:33] <pgar23> I am looking for a GUI
[00:33] <Dave77> if I use apt-get how do I find out what version of the software it will install?
[00:33] <pgar23> the software center will generally pull down wahtever is the latest version of the app that is available in the repositories
[00:34] <Loshki> Dave77: try  apt-cache showpkg <pkg>
[00:34] <pgar23> Dave77: u can always use the tab key to check the file and other available versions
[00:35] <Loshki> pgar23: worry about making it work without ssh first. It will be much easier...
[00:37] <pgar23> Loshki: i don't necessarily need to ssh to the ubuntu laptop, I actually prefer a GUI
[00:38] <brasileiro> pgar23, I don't understand your question... you're looking for a GUI? what does that mean?
[00:38] <pgar23> I am using win 7 laptop from my work office in Herndon, VA and trying to access a ubuntu laptop on a completely separate circuit in Reston, VA
[00:38] <Loshki> pgar23: I personally find vnc easy to setup & use
[00:38] <pgar23> ok cool will try that
[00:38] <pgar23> thx Loshki
[00:38] <brasileiro> pgar23, you want to access the X protocol from the remote working station?
[00:38] <pgar23> ya
[00:38] <pgar23> exactly
[00:39] <brasileiro> pgar23, well, that's not exacly a GUI heheh
[00:39] <brasileiro> pgar23, but I think this will help you http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/remote-display-of-the-x-protocol/
[00:39] <pgar23> well idk man lol I am still getting used to this OS
[00:40] <Loshki> pgar23: what OSes are you planning to run vnc between?
[00:40] <pgar23> ok so win 7 and ubuntu
[00:40] <brasileiro> pgar23, and this http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html
[00:41] <Loshki> pgar23: can't help you with win7, but I can with the Ubuntu side
[00:42] <pgar23> haha it's all good
[00:42] <pgar23> I will eventually figure it out after playin around with the system
[00:42] <pgar23> I am a voip tech and my IT world has been dominated by windows systems
[00:42] <pgar23> I am interested in linux administration for some reason
[00:42] <pgar23> lol
[00:43] <CPR_Dummy> you want to have the username "God"
[00:44] <brasileiro> pgar23, I think this is exacly what you're looking for: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMicrosoftWindowsNetworkIntegration.html#GDMXDMCP especially the #GDMXDMCP part
[00:44] <Loshki> pgar23: man cannot live by windows administration alone...
[00:45] <grubles> pgar23, http://www.opsschool.org/en/latest/index.html
[00:45] <pgar23> nice thx for the links guys!
[00:49] <cynicist> jcrawford: you can just use ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to a virtual terminal and then 'sudo service lightdm stop"
[00:49] <CPR_Dummy> ctrl+alt+F5 to get back
[00:50] <cynicist> jcrawford: rather than messing around with runlevels
[00:51] <cynicist> CPR_Dummy: it's ctrl+alt+F7, but he's trying to install drivers so he would want to reboot after
[00:52] <causative> I just performed a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 from a live usb stick on my netbook.  But it was way too slow so I did apt-get install lubuntu-desktop.  Then I rebooted.  Now it's much, much faster, and also I saw "lubuntu" at the boot screen so I think I'm running lubuntu now.  However I am still seeing the unity launcher and dash, and what's more, I somehow have two launchers on the same screen (though this might not be related)
[00:52] <causative> should I uninstall unity and reboot? or what?
[00:53] <cynicist> causative: if you have multiple sessions installed you should be able to change between them at the login greeter
[00:53] <gooberfoob> I seems to always have usb formatting issues
[00:54] <causative> how do I tell which session I'm running?  and if I'm still running unity why would it be so much faster after reboot?
[00:54] <gooberfoob> I am putting crunchbang on a usb, but when i got to install it, I get bad invalid kernal
[00:54] <gooberfoob> something like that
[00:55] <cynicist> causative: the login screen looks the same right?
[00:55] <molossus> is it ok to remove unity completely if i use mate and plan not using unity anymore, (when i try to uninstall unity i get a warning about future updates of ubuntu )
[00:55] <causative> no, the login screen changed after I installed lubuntu
[00:56] <causative> the desktop looks the same (except for that quirk with two launchers on the same side of the screen, which might be unrelated)
[00:58] <brasileiro> guys, I'm having jumps of usage at the CPU1 and CPU4 while watching a video at VLC ou SMPlayer... this is causing the system to shortly slow down, and also echoing the audio... any ideas?? I really don't know what to do...
[00:58] <brasileiro> oddly the fan seems to increase its activity at the same time
[00:59] <cynicist> causative: do you mind sharing a screenshot of your desktop?
[01:00] <cynicist> causative: hard to know what is going on from your description. It sounds like you are booted into lxde just fine (wouldn't be faster otherwise) but I'm not sure what the two launcher thing is about
[01:02] <cynicist> gooberfoob: easiest thing is to format the usb stick as fat32 and then use the 'sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/usb' (where usb path is something like /dev/sdd, NOT /dev/sdd1)
[01:03] <causative> cynicist, I don't mind sharing a screenshot, but before I do so, why would I still have the unity launcher and dash if I'm using lubuntu now?
[01:03] <cynicist> gooberfoob: while the disk is unmounted btw
[01:03] <causative> is that normal?
[01:03] <cynicist> causative: no it's not normal, that's what I don't get
[01:04] <cynicist> causative: and why I asked about the session thing, I'd tell you how to change that but I haven't used lubuntu so I'm not familiar with their greeter
[01:05] <cynicist> causative: I'm going to download it in a sec to find out
[01:05] <causative> oh I figured out the two launchers thing, that was because I had two displays and I disabled one of them but told it to show a launcher on both
[01:05] <causative> after I told it to only show a launcher on the active display it fixed
[01:07] <cynicist> causative: oh ok good
[01:08] <causative> imgur.com/3mTy192.png is my desktop, which appears to be unity except that it got faster...
[01:10] <causative> I mean I guess I don't really have a complaint now, I don't mind that it looks like unity as long as it's fast, unless there's some underlying issue that's going to cause me problems later
[01:10] <cynicist> causative: wow that looks very strange
[01:11] <causative> strange? doesn't it just look like unity?  I turned the high contrast theme on in unity-tweak-tool before I installed lubuntu btw
[01:11] <cynicist> causative: yeah the high contrast theme is probably what changed the performance
[01:11] <cynicist> causative: because you aren't in lxde at all (in other words you aren't using lubuntu really)
[01:12] <causative> the high contrast theme didn't have any immediate effect
[01:12] <causative> not until I rebooted
[01:13] <causative> I mean besides the appearance, the theme changed the appearance but not the speed
[01:13] <cynicist> causative: well if you are fine with it then you're good but if you want I can tell how you to switch to lxde in a moment
[01:13] <causative> yes please
[01:14] <cynicist> causative: ok then just a sec, I'm installing lubuntu in a vm right now to find out
[01:16] <zaxius> what's the preferred way to start processes on boot? i know about the rc.d system, but is that deprecated?
[01:16] <Bashing-om> causative: :: cynicist //Reboot and at the login box, upper right corner is the ubuntu logo, click on it and you should have the option of which desk top to start.
[01:16] <cynicist> Bashing-om: ah ty, that's certainly quicker :)
[01:16] <causative> do i have to reboot or just logout?
[01:16] <cynicist> you can just logout
[01:16] <causative> ok
[01:17] <x-kap3> Hi somebody help me with this issue in VBox ?
[01:17] <x-kap3> http://pastebin.com/NZp23jHp
[01:20] <gr33n7007h> x-kap3, Try install kernel headers: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:20] <cynicist> zaxius: you can do it graphically by searching for startup applications in the dash, it basically copies things to /etc/xdg/autostart/
[01:21] <cynicist> zaxius: if you mean something fancier like creating an upstart job I can't help you :\
[01:21] <causative> thanks Bashing-om
[01:22] <causative> but I wonder what was causing my system to be so crawlingly slow before reboot
[01:22] <zaxius> cynicist, i need to start this with sudo, will your method work without asking me for my password?
[01:22] <x-kap3> gr33n7007h, I have tried with this  apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but it shows the next : Reading package lists... Done
[01:22] <x-kap3> Building dependency tree
[01:22] <x-kap3> Reading state information... Done
[01:22] <x-kap3> linux-headers-3.2.6 is already the newest version.
[01:22] <x-kap3> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[01:22] <zaxius> cynicist, i.e. it needs to be run as another user with start-stop-daemon
[01:22] <Bashing-om> causative: all good now ? setting pretty .
[01:22] <causative> yeah just with a mystery
[01:23] <gr33n7007h> x-kap3, looks like you got them already
[01:23] <zaxius> cynicist, i guess i could give myself no-password sudo, but that sounds kludgy and dangerous
[01:24] <Bashing-om> causative: Yeah ? // The kernel in and of it's self is a mystery to those of us of the uninititiated !
[01:24] <x-kap3> gr33n7007h, yes but does not working  VBox
[01:24] <cynicist> zaxius: ok nm that's different. If you want to control it using start/stop, you might want to look at upstart info. http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
[01:25] <gr33n7007h> x-kap3, just thought it might be your kernel headers needed to be install, sorry can't help
[01:25] <Bashing-om> x-kap3: What results -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- to deal with those "held packages" .
[01:28] <x-kap3> gr33n7007h, thanks a lot
[01:28] <gr33n7007h> x-kap3, you're welcome
[01:31] <zelbinian> Hey, so... my sound randomly stopped working. I've tried running alsamixer but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the settings in there. Halp?
[01:33] <blocky> is there a way to get wicd to show some sort of indicator in 14.04?
[01:34] <jcrawford> hey guys how can i change my runlevel on ubuntu 14.04?  I have tried modifying the DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL env found in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and also tried using sudo init 3.  I even went as far as changing the grub entry and adding a 3 to the end of the entry line.  When I boot the system it brings up the UI.  I need to boot to terminal mode so that I can install my NVIDIA driver.
[01:34] <jcrawford> sorry to whomever mentioned my name previously I had to step away and my buffer doesn't go back far enough to see what was said
[01:35] <zaxius> you know how in windows in your web browser you can click the mouse wheel and the little thing pops up, and if you move the pointer above that it scrolls up and if you move it below it scrolls down? is there a way to get that in ubuntu?
[01:36] <jcrawford> actually the run level changed to 3 but somehow I am still running X server after rebooting hrm
[01:36] <jcrawford> who -r reports that it is run-level 3 anyway
[01:36] <wheatthin> N 2
[01:36] <wheatthin> :)
[01:37] <blocky> you should be able to stop the lightdm service, if all you need is to kill x
[01:37] <wheatthin> did you try stopping the service with the upstart thingy    sudo service <servicename> stop
[01:37] <wheatthin> or if you want to disable it..  disable
[01:37] <wheatthin> instead of stop
[01:38] <jcrawford> need to kill any OpenGL applications, i will give runlevel 2 a shot
[01:38] <blocky> you don't need to change runlevel for that
[01:39] <zaxius> how am i in runlevel 2? i thought 5 was for X11?
[01:41] <blocky> sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[01:41] <blocky> then ctrl + alt + f1 to get you to terminal
[01:41] <jcrawford> i'm just going by what NVIDIA's readme said lol
[01:41] <blocky> then sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start
[01:41] <blocky> and you should be back in X, if not, ctrl + alt + f7
[01:41] <blocky> assuming the driver installed correctly :)
[01:42] <blocky> if not, you might want to consider installing a terminal-mode irc client like irssi and maybe screen or tmux so you don't have to reconnect when switching between gui and terminal
[01:43] <presonic> anyone know a quick way to remove grub and boot directly to windows without reinstalling windows?
[01:43] <zaxius> presonic, fdisk /mbr from windows used to do the trick
[01:44] <jcrawford> thanks blocky that got me wher i needed to be, not sure why X starts up when I set the runlevel to 2 or 3 though that's odd no?
[01:45] <presonic> thanks zaxius
[01:46] <blocky> jcrawford: could not answer that
[01:48] <x-kap3> hi
[01:49] <wheatthin> jcrawford, it's cause upstart is different from the runlevels
[01:49] <jcrawford> ah ok
[01:49] <jcrawford> i have much to learn about linux :)
[01:49] <wheatthin> ehh, ubuntu changed alot since 10.04 :)
[01:51] <wheatthin> upstart is more of a service level starting thing.. and runlevel is made more of a system boot thing
[01:51] <zaxius> everytime i press alt+d in firefox to get focus on the address bar, the ubuntu "Type your command" thing comes up. is there a way to disable that or change the key binding?
[01:51] <wheatthin> zaxius, are you using unity? if so, try out unity tweak
[01:52] <zaxius> wheatthin, yeah. i remember seeing those settings somewhere when i first installed...
[01:53] <wheatthin> I had to do something similar for blender 3d, and the render F11 F12 buttons
[01:53] <wheatthin> and, alt select buttons
[01:54] <zaxius> wheatthin, is unity tweak something i have to install?
[01:56] <cuddylier> Anyone know why grub fails to install on clean drives during the ubuntu install? It says it can't install grub to the drive sda.
[01:56] <cuddylier> Here is a screenshot of my partitions: * Now talking on #md_5
[01:56] <cuddylier> I mean this: http://puu.sh/9LNsj/f649cdd3f9.png
[01:57] <zaxius> wheatthin, never mind, installing
[01:57] <zaxius> wheatthin, although i'm pretty sure i saw this setting somewhere else...
[01:59] <zaxius> wheatthin, found it in unity tweak, thanks
[01:59] <zaxius> wheatthin, it's called the HUD, apparently
[02:00] <zaxius> i can see that it's bound to <Alt>, but i can't figure out how to change it...
[02:00] <zaxius> wheatthin, i can see that it's bound to <Alt>, but i can't figure out how to change it...
[02:01] <zaxius> wheatthin, never mind, got it, thanks
[02:01] <A_Pickle> So... I have some questions about Ubuntu Server...
[02:02] <A_Pickle> Would this be the place to inquire, or do I need to go to a different room?
[02:09] <rww`> A_Pickle: here or #ubuntu-server are fine
[02:12] <causative> hmm, firefox was at 90% cpu usage for a minute even after closing all tabs and windows
[02:22] <hyprvx> how can I resize a partition without mucking up data?
[02:25] <Chaser> hyprvx: resize2fs ?
[02:26] <hyprvx> Chaser: does that need to be installed? I'm trying to nail down a Wi-Fi problem right now, and if that needs apt-get then yeah
[02:26] <zaxius> hyprvx, mine is in /sbin/
[02:28] <A_Pickle> So, okay
[02:28] <A_Pickle> I'm trying to fiddle around with Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS on this little ol' netbook.
[02:28] <A_Pickle> Trying to break a habit called Windows
[02:28] <A_Pickle> It's a rough thing
[02:29] <A_Pickle> Anyways, I've got it hooked to my network
[02:29] <brasileiro> hi, I cannot mount an external HD... I can see it using lsusb but it doesn't appears at /dev/sdX
[02:29] <A_Pickle> But I don't see it in my router's "attached devices" list
[02:29] <A_Pickle> Even though it's wired in.
[02:29] <A_Pickle> How on Earth do I get it to accept DHCP?
[02:29] <Chaser> hyprvx: it should be installed by default. If you prefer GUI - then there is partitionmanager program
[02:29] <A_Pickle> Or even detect that it's plugged in?
[02:30] <A_Pickle> I've run an "ifconfig -a" command, and it shows me the loopback adapter and eth0 -- which I can only assume is my ethernet port.  I SUPPOSE it COULD be the wireless card...
[02:30] <Chaser> A_Pickle: eth0 is most defenitely ethernet port.
[02:30] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, wireless is usually wlan0
[02:30] <A_Pickle> Okay.  Well, it's all sorts of lighting up on my switch, but it doesn't show me an IP address when I run an ifconfig -a
[02:31] <A_Pickle> And, as I said, it doesn't show up in my router's attached devices list -- so I'm not sure if... if I'm supposed to do something to get it to take DHCP or... what...
[02:31] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, "sudo dhclient -v eth0"
[02:31] <A_Pickle> Oh boy.
[02:31] <A_Pickle> A new command for me to learn.  :3
[02:32] <Crackz0r> Hello
[02:32] <A_Pickle> Also, while we're at it, when I'm on a Windows CLI, I type "dir" and get a list of files and folders.
[02:33] <A_Pickle> How do I do something similar in Linux, with the ls or dir command?
[02:33] <Crackz0r> Im new on server managemenet, and i would like to install some kind of mail server just to send mails with php, like forgot password and those things
[02:33] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, "ls"
[02:33] <A_Pickle> I'd like to see folder structures at the very least.
[02:33] <Crackz0r> Is there any simple way to do so?
[02:33] <A_Pickle> Okay.
[02:33] <ic3man5> oh
[02:33] <ic3man5> hold on
[02:33] <A_Pickle> Rad.  Thanks.  I shall read some man pages on that command.
[02:34] <A_Pickle> I'm sorry if I'm being persistent with my questions -- I'm just VERY familiar with a Windows environment.  I know what I'm doing there, and Linux is... different.  Like, a lot.
[02:35] <gr33n7007h> A_Pickle, apt-get install tree
[02:35] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, "ls -F"
[02:36] <ic3man5> or "ls -Fal"
[02:36] <ic3man5> second one might be closer to windows
[02:41] <ki7mt> A_Pickle, also ls -CF is nicely formated
[02:43] <LuiX> greetings to everyone! i was hoping if someone can help me troubleshoot some connectivity issues on a Ubuntu 10.04 running on an old pentium 2 computer. Here's some data i've collected. http://pastebin.com/GrBXi5Y9
[02:47] <jcrawford> hey guys in 14.04 i cannot find the Keyboard -> Keyboard Layout Settings to make the command key act as a control key.  Where can i find this ability?
[02:48] <vook> LuiX: you aren't getting any dhcp offers - this would result in no connectivity.
[02:50] <LuiX> vook, I'm really lost about it, because if I plug the same cable on other machine, the network works. I don't know where to start. I've tried for hours different solutions on forums, but it doesn't seem to work. DHCP is set to auto right now. Every other pc on the network (2 more plus androids) are working fine
[02:52] <zeissoctopus> jcrawford: you may install gnome-tweak-tool to modify keyboard mapping under unity
[02:53] <jcrawford> it appears 14.04 you just add the language English (Macintosh) I am checking that now :)
[02:55] <jcrawford> that didn't work gah
[02:56] <jaymak642> So I got a new computer for work, I typically dual boot linux and windows, but this computer has windows 8.  I figured I'd try mint 17, totally borked the pc because i didnt read first and uefi/secureboot were enabled, finally got windows reinstalled, and now here i am.  i think ubuntu (which is what I normally have) us fine, but I dont really want to give up secureboot and uefi.  is this
[02:56] <jaymak642> possible?
[02:58] <ic3man5> LuiX, ifconfig shows eth0 already has an IP so dhcp must be working unless you set a static IP.
[03:00] <ic3man5> jaymak642, I'm not really sure on secureboot but I could have sworn I've had windows 8 and mint working together
[03:00] <LuiX> ic3man5, i've done everything, static, dynamic, ignore ipv6, but still no web browsing. in some of the different approaches i get to have a good ping on webpages, but now browsing (correct proxies and such) but right now it doesn't even show an active connection on the notifier
[03:00] <mrdeath> I have a gigabyte mouse, but it won't work with linux. Can someone help?
[03:00] <ic3man5> LuiX, can you ping the dns server? (google's DNS is 8.8.8.8)
[03:01] <opensuzie> ic3man5: I found out uefi works. Best install grub on a Linux partition during install
[03:01] <holstein> mrdeath: plug it in, and run some commands in the terminal. lspci, and lsub, and paste the results.. but, if it "wont work" in linux, that a definitive statement..
[03:01] <LuiX> ic3man5, right now i don't even have a link with the router, despite the cable is connected
[03:01] <holstein> !paste | mrdeath
[03:02] <holstein> LuiX: to get good ping on website? how are you determining this is related to your operating system?
[03:02] <vook> LuiX: yes, no data is transferring, as can be seen from the RX bytes for eth0 (0.0 B). Do you have any kind of access control on your router?
[03:02] <ic3man5> LuiX, I think "dmesg" will show output when the link is up/down
[03:03] <holstein> sounds like a bad or compromised router to me
[03:03] <ic3man5> and or cable is bad
[03:03] <vook> ethtool will also show link status
[03:04] <opensuzie> ic3man5: http://superuser.com/questions/662823/how-do-i-mount-the-efi-partition-on-windows-8-1-so-that-it-is-readable-and-write easy remove ubuntu. Mount uefi partition. Delete. Ubuntu folder in uefi partition. That's it.
[03:04] <vook> try "ethtool eth0"
[03:04] <LuiX> ic3man5, i've found a command that shows that the cable connects effective, but no "you are now connected to eth0" notification. with dmesg it shows link up
[03:04] <holstein> LuiX: this is the  server edition?
[03:04] <mrdeath> holstein and ubottu here http://pastebin.com/HR8TwGGA
[03:05] <LuiX> holstein, no the "regular" one
[03:05] <holstein> LuiX: its not supported any longer..
[03:05] <holstein> !10.04
[03:06] <LuiX> but as i said, it's an old pc, and i couldn't get any newer versions
[03:06] <holstein> LuiX: you can, and should try.. 10.04 is not supported
[03:06] <vook> well, supported or not, it should still connect to a network. This probably is not related to the version.
[03:06] <mrdeath> So I dumped it, http://pastebin.com/HR8TwGGA  can you guys tell me the problem now so I can get the mouse working?
[03:07] <holstein> i dont think its related to the operating system at all..
[03:07] <LuiX> i've tried with 11.04 i think, no connection still
[03:07] <eridu> is there a specific channel for Unity development and support?
[03:07] <holstein> mrdeath: i dont see lsusb
[03:07] <ic3man5> LuiX, did you try power cycling your router?
[03:07] <ic3man5> LuiX, seems strange you aren't getting an RX traffic
[03:07] <LuiX> power cycling... let me google that
[03:08] <vook> unplug, plug back in
[03:08] <mrdeath> Here holstein, http://pastebin.com/6J09e3bN
[03:08] <opensuzie> I had that problem with router traffic.
[03:08] <ic3man5> LuiX, some routers have bugs in them that non-windows OSes like to expose every once in a while.
[03:09] <opensuzie> I had to manually connect one time
[03:09] <vook> LuiX: have you had any connectivity on this system in recent memory (during an install or otherwise)? You know, it could be a number of things, bent pins in the network port could cause a link to show up, but xfer nothing.
[03:09] <LuiX> the thing is that this most likely occured after an update i ran a few days ago, tried uninstalling the latest kernel, and no success
[03:09] <LuiX> before the update, it worked
[03:10] <holstein> LuiX: try the older kernel, then
[03:10] <vook> Ah, is the old kernel... yes ^
[03:10] <holstein> LuiX: but, you are not getting updates that are catering to your version.. the desktop verison is EOL< and you shouldnt be using it
[03:10] <opensuzie> LuiX: ubuntu don't use iup anymore
[03:10] <ic3man5> LuiX, btw I've never had good luck with VIA in any operating system. I tend to stay away from them.
[03:11] <A_Pickle> Haha, that's the fuckin' truth :D
[03:11] <holstein> !language
[03:11] <A_Pickle> My bad.  I apologize, I shall refrain
[03:11] <A_Pickle> But yes, I agree with the VIA comment.  They're not so bad in Windows, but then, they're... not so great either.
[03:11] <ic3man5> agreed
[03:12] <ic3man5> especially with USB chipsets
[03:12] <A_Pickle> I was inquiring earlier about listing directories, so I punched in that "ls -CF" command you suggested.
[03:12] <holstein> via is fine.. works as advertised. they just dont promise linux support..
[03:12] <Boohbah> holstein: where is the ubuntu channel for speaking in rude, agitated English?
[03:12] <holstein> !ot | Boohbah
[03:12] <A_Pickle> I get the following:  .ecryptfs  .  ..  .Private  .bashrc  .bash_logout  .profile
[03:12] <LuiX> so holstein, everyone . what is the suggestion?
[03:12] <A_Pickle> What... on earth is that?
[03:13] <A_Pickle> I expected to see /usr /bin /lib /etc and stuff of that nature.
[03:13] <holstein> LuiX: run a supported operating system, and try booting the older kernel.. the last one that worked
[03:13] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, file names with a . in front of them are "Hidden"
[03:13] <A_Pickle> I guess I just don't get where "apickle@testserv:~$" is starting me from
[03:13] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, if you want to see the root directory do "ls -CF /"
[03:14] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, / is the root directory, similar to C:\ on windows
[03:14] <LuiX> holstein, do older computers "tolerate" modern installations and methods?
[03:14] <A_Pickle> Okay, I see that now.  Very interesting.
[03:14] <ic3man5> dir C:\ == ls /
[03:14] <holstein> mrdeath: i dont see it listed.. have you tested the device in a supported operating system to make sure its functional?
[03:14] <mrdeath> No, how can I do that holstein?
[03:14] <holstein> LuiX: is the older kernel working for you?
[03:14] <ic3man5> A_Pickle, "cwd" will show you your current directory also
[03:14] <jaymak642> A_Pickle: i think if you give you console the command "
[03:15] <jaymak642> "cwd" it will display your current directory with full path
[03:15] <holstein> mrdeath: see what the creator supports, and try it there.. otherwise, you could have broken or bad hardware
[03:15] <jaymak642> yeah, what he said
[03:15] <jaymak642> okay, i'm gonna bork my computer again, everyone hold their breath
[03:16] <LuiX> let me give it a try holstein. is a better way than uninstalling them? just tell me what to google
[03:16] <A_Pickle> Brilliant.  Okay, that helps me get my bearings, sort of -- so, am I just a user (apickle) on a system (testserv) in Linux?  For example, when I open my CMD in Windows, it either "starts me" in my user directory (C:\Users\A_Pickle) or in C:\Windows\System32 (if I run CMD as an administrator).
[03:16] <ic3man5> correct
[03:16] <A_Pickle> I'm not sure what my current working directory is, and... I guess I'm not sure if I NEED to know that.
[03:16] <holstein> LuiX: yes.. just literally boot it, from the grub menu.. no need to do any package management at all. the kernel is there in the list, select, and boot and test
[03:17] <Bashing-om> A_Pickle: :: ic3man5 *cwd .. should that not be "pwd" ??
[03:17] <ic3man5> current working directory is where you current are at, C:\Users\A_Pickle would be your current working directory when you open up CMD in windows
[03:17] <ic3man5> Bashing-om, yes sorry pwd, I think cwd is windows
[03:17] <A_Pickle> Awesome!
[03:17] <A_Pickle> Okay, that should set me going for a bit now.
[03:18] <LuiX> holstein, i don't have grub installed in this one. any alternatives?
[03:18] <ic3man5> nope, I'm going crazy. I think cwd is from python coding...
[03:18] <A_Pickle> I appreciate it.  You guys rock.  I'll probably be back at some point.   Thanks for the help!
[03:18] <holstein> LuiX: what *is* installed?
[03:18] <holstein> LuiX: stock desktop 10.04 shipped with grub.. what do you have?
[03:19] <ic3man5> np, A_Pickle good luck!
[03:19] <mrdeath> http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3821#ov     holstein
[03:19] <Bashing-om> A_Pickle: As you see, when you fire up your ubuntu system, you start in your /home directory. By the way, in navigation .. the command 'cd' will return you to /home as your Present Working Directory .
[03:19] <holstein> mrdeath: whast the question, friend?
[03:19] <mrdeath> thats the mouse holstein
[03:19] <holstein> mrdeath: im telling you how to determine if its funcitonal..
[03:19] <LuiX> holstein, that's weird, i know grub but never saw the grub menu. it's lubuntu 10.4.4 linux kernel 2.6.32-61-generic
[03:20] <mrdeath> continue holstein
[03:20] <holstein> LuiX: ok.. however you want to do it, try the older kernel..
[03:21] <holstein> mrdeath: you ask the creators of the hardware what is supported, which is likely not linux, and you try it there, in a vendor supported scnario.. if it doesnt work there, then, the device is bad, and will *never* work in linux.... typically mice just work, with no config
[03:21] <LuiX> holstein, i'll let you know. thanks
[03:21] <holstein> mrdeath: are you sure you have batteries? and its on? and you have tried all ports? and bypassed all hubs?
[03:21] <holstein> LuiX: you dont have to.. you can PM me if you want, or use the offtopic channel.. 10.04 is not supported
[03:26] <Sunstream> For some reason in lubuntu I cannot get dvds to play I installed the restricted extras
[03:26] <holstein> Sunstream: its not in there
[03:26] <holstein> !restricted | Sunstream
[03:27] <holstein> Sunstream: specifically, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[03:27] <mrdeath> thanks holstein  but it doesn't seem to work with windows either, guess it's broken. sorry, bye.
[03:27] <Sunstream> I already installed the extras
[03:27] <holstein> Sunstream: i understand, and its *not* in the extras package
[03:28] <holstein> Sunstream: if you refer to what i reference above, specifically, you'll note, for dvd playback, you need ..
[03:28] <holstein> sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
[03:28] <holstein> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[03:28] <Sunstream> VLC can play them
[03:28] <holstein> Sunstream: do you understand? the restricted extras that you reference installing doesnt provide DVD playback
[03:29] <Sunstream> but the problem I am running into is it seems to not finish the end of a dvd for some reason
[03:29] <holstein> Sunstream: have you tried the information above?
[03:30] <Sunstream> reading as we speak
[03:32] <jaymak642> okay, if i dont manage to accomplish bork 2.0, i'll be back
[03:33] <Sunstream> Its not a huge deal I will have another device that can play dvds
[03:34] <Sunstream> according to PlayingDVDS page it said *ubuntu-restrcited-extras already done the install
[03:35] <holstein> Sunstream: did you install the packages to enable DVD support? ubuntu-restricted-extras *does* *not8
[03:35] <holstein> Sunstream: there are 2 commands above, from the link above that that enable DVD playback.. have you used them?
[03:37] <Sunstream> I can play DVDs that is not the issue. The issue is VLC is either bugged or something is wrong at the end of one of the dvd episodes I am watching it stops playing I can play dvds just fine except VLC doing that
[03:37] <Sunstream> and if I recall I did see that package go on my systen when I was watching the screen when i did the ubuntu restricted install
[03:38] <holstein> Sunstream: you stated, "for some reason i cannot get dvd's to play in lubuntu".. you can get them to play? what is your question, friend?
[03:38] <holstein> Sunstream: if you dont recall doing *exactly* what is referenced at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs , thats the *only* way to do it.. vlc may try something, but you should follow the guide here..
[03:39] <Sunstream> Sorry I should of phrased that I cannot get the dvds to finish playing the end of some episodes on my series dvds
[03:39] <holstein> Sunstream: do you understand that "ubuntu-restricted-extras" doesnt include DVD playback?
[03:39] <Sunstream> okay
[03:39] <holstein> Sunstream: okay? so you understand that? or not?
[03:39] <Sunstream> yes
[03:39] <Sunstream> I understand
[03:40] <Sunstream> there is a confliction of information
[03:40] <Sunstream> take a look at the page and look at what it said about the restirected extras
[03:40] <holstein> Sunstream: not here.. not from me.. have you tried, specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs ?
[03:40] <Sunstream> I did
[03:40] <Sunstream> Yes I read it
[03:42] <Kion> is there a way to unlock sftp for password without allowing password sign into ssh?
[03:42] <Sunstream> if you read 1. Install the libdvdread4.... it goes against what you said
[03:43] <holstein> Sunstream: ok
[03:44] <holstein> Sunstream: just ask if you have a question
[03:44] <Sunstream> that whole section goes against you saying the restricted extras did not install that when it did
[03:44] <Sunstream> on taht page
[03:45] <holstein> Sunstream: ok.. in my firts-hand experience, and from what i have read, and experienced, its not included
[03:45] <Sunstream> Or do I need to actually do the sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh ?
[03:46] <holstein> Sunstream: thats what i read there, and suggested above, and found that first hand, i needed to do, and did, and it provided dvd playback
[03:47] <Sunstream> this is confusing
[03:47] <Sunstream> do I need to dowload it or do i need to just do the sudo command to install it
[03:47] <holstein> Sunstream: it is.. and its a legal issue
[03:48] <SurelyExploding> Hi anyone alive?
[03:48] <holstein> Sunstream: i gave you the 2 commands from the link that i gave..
[03:49] <Sunstream> so I have to do the command
[03:49] <holstein> Sunstream: the link.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs . the commands.. "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4" and "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[03:49] <Sunstream> okay did the command now lets see if it changes anything
[03:49] <holstein> the link references maybe needing to reboot, though, i dont recall needing to. i suggest trying VLC, and a few other players..
[03:50] <Sunstream> well it did not change the issue with VLC I will attempt a reboot and if that do not work then I am going to say forget it I will just get a seperate dvd player
[03:50] <Sunstream> (external)
[03:52] <SurelyExploding> Sorry to interrupt anything, but I'm a new linux user in need of help with what I think is a simple solution. I recently installed Ubuntu on an old macbook with next to no issues, except for the fact that the backlight does not respond to the brightness buttons, but they do cause a response in the gui.

[03:57] <cuddylier> What is that
[03:57] <Beldar> !uefi | cuddylier
[03:57] <Beldar> cuddylier, This a server install or using a mini?
[03:57] <cuddylier> I have installed Ubuntu normally on the exact same spec
[03:58] <cuddylier> Server install
[03:58] <cuddylier> it's a brand new supermicro server
[03:58] <cuddylier> brand new drives and all
[03:58] <Beldar> cuddylier, What is the computer?
[03:58] <cuddylier> It's a supermicro that was put together
[03:58] <cuddylier> Do you want the motherboard model?
[03:59] <Beldar> cuddylier, Yeah that would probably help, I can google that.
[03:59] <Bashing-om> cuddylier: Raid ?
[03:59] <cuddylier> Yes
[03:59] <cuddylier> Software 1
[03:59] <Beldar> cuddylier, Does same specs mean same hardware exactly?
[03:59] <Beldar> ah raid
[03:59] <cuddylier> Well, I've installed like 10 software raid supermicros before
[03:59] <cuddylier> First time one has failed
[04:00] <cuddylier> Supermicro Motherboard X10SLL-F-B
[04:00] <cuddylier> Is the motherboard
[04:00] <Sunstream> Okay, It did not solve the issue
[04:00] <Sunstream> however I fixed the issue but DISABLING DVD menus like it stated in the help page yhou sent me to
[04:01] <brasileiro> I still keep getting CPU spikes and the fans are switching ON and OFF every ten seconds when I play a movie on SMPlayer or VLC.... I'm getting a little concerned specially about the fans.... anyone could help me?
[04:01] <Sunstream> I have the fix thank you
[04:02] <cuddylier> Beldar: Anything you want to see in the BIOS?
[04:02] <Beldar> cuddylier, Hard to tell from here if a uefi bios, that would be my guess though, I'm not really uefi compliant but a refusal to load the mbr is a flag is all.
[04:03] <cuddylier> Beldar: If I need to use uefi, what do I do?
[04:03] <Beldar> never messed with raid either cuddylier
[04:03] <Sunstream> holstein, Thank you that help page did have a workaround that to seem to work. NO DVD MENUS I saw it play the ep I had issues with when I hit the next capter button so its ok
[04:03] <cuddylier> Beldar: Ah, UEFI is a boot device option
[04:03] <cuddylier> Ah, it is UEFI
[04:03] <cuddylier> I'm using virtual media
[04:04] <Beldar> cuddylier, Bingo try a legacy mode
[04:04] <cuddylier> And it says UEFI: ATEN Virtual CDROM
[04:04] <cuddylier> Where or what is legacy mode?
[04:04] <cuddylier> oh wait
[04:04] <cuddylier> There is a non EUFI version o_O
[04:04] <Beldar> cuddylier, Again never messed with uefi, but I think in the bios.

[04:07] <Sunstream> holstein, Yeah that fixed it playing the dvd without menus fixed it
[04:09] <Sunstream> Thank you Holstein
[04:14] <Sunstream> I am sorry about that I was confused with what you said and what it said on that page. I did try the no dvd menu before any other player and it fixed it apparently there is something wrong with the decoding or something that taking out the menus fixed holstein

[04:46] <Beldar> jaymak642, easybcd is third party here we be using grub man. 3rd party stuff is not supported here technically.

[04:59] <FredddyTom> yeah it's funny when people come to my office and see linux.. and they are like ohhhh that looks really good
[04:59] <FredddyTom> can i use it... and i'm like "no" :D
[04:59] <FredddyTom> not unless you don't mind fixing things
[04:59] <FredddyTom> although the thing they seem to be most impressed by is apt-get install
[05:00] <FredddyTom> i don't see why that's much different from an app store though :D
[05:00] <Beldar> FredddyTom, We have way to much hand holding here in my opinion, one hardly learns that way, some need it but many don't.
[05:00] <xangua> FredddyTom: you can also just hit the + plus button when control+f and select video files
[05:00] <FredddyTom> xangua: your required to specify a file name with that though
[05:00] <solofight> when i open disk utility i see all the logical and other partitions... but when i open gparted the entire disk says unallocated
[05:01] <solofight> am confused
[05:01] <solofight> need help
[05:01] <FredddyTom> xangua: i tried * but that didn't work
[05:01] <xangua> FredddyTom: I just did without specify a name
[05:01] <FredddyTom> ahh.. what version of ubuntu are you on?
[05:01] <FredddyTom> i'm on 12.04LTS
[05:02] <solofight> FredddyTom: @ me ?
[05:02] <FredddyTom> at xangua
[05:02] <FredddyTom> solofight: sorry solo.. i'm confused as well (about gparted)
[05:04] <xangua> FredddyTom: nevermind, a dot was in the search field
[05:14] <chrirc> hi..i installed windows in an ssd and now i want to install ubuntu on a separate ssd but i dont want the ubuntu bootloader menu to be installed...i want to just boot ubuntu by selectings its ssd from bios....how not to install bootloader during installation?
[05:17] <Beldar> chrirc, Do manual install the something other option and put grub in the ubuntu root partiton if it is separate or the install it selfs partition
[05:18] <Beldar> chrirc, Scrtach that, do the manual but make sure grub is in it;s mbr,
[05:19] <Beldar> chrirc, I assume you are in a msdos mbr setup, or legacy mode if you have a uefi bios
[05:20] <chrirc> how to do manual install? do i have to set partitions myself?  ...yes i set bios to legacy mode...
[05:20] <ben155> hello guys, I am trying to get openvpn installed but when I install it, ./easy-rsa is missing from the examples folder located in /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/
[05:21] <ben155> I tried doing sudo apt-get install easy-rsa also
[05:22] <Beldar> chrirc, Manual installs are chosen at a gui in the install you have options to use the whole HD, or alongside another or something else, in the next gui you have a dropdown for where grub goes, and you can build or remove partitions there, you want the mount to be /
[05:23] <Beldar> chrirc, Really since this is new to you and really always having any OS's imaged/cloned or backed up off the computer for any contingency is your best insirance
[05:24] <Beldar> insurance*
[05:24] <chrirc> i never built the required linux partitions myself before....
[05:25] <Beldar> chrirc, I have to take off so others can help, I have a short job to take care of is all. ;)
[05:26] <chrirc> thanks for your help
[05:28] <DJJeff> having some dependency issues
[05:28] <DJJeff> http://bpaste.net/show/412141/
[05:29] <DJJeff> running ubuntu 14.04 64bit
[05:30] <Ben64> DJJeff: teamviewer isn't an official package, you should seek support from them
[05:31] <DJJeff> ah found some help
[05:31] <DJJeff> http://askubuntu.com/questions/362951/install-teamviewer-using-a-64-bits-system-but-i-get-a-dependency-error
[05:33] <DJJeff> wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
[05:33] <DJJeff> this one uses wine
[05:33] <DJJeff> oh well :)
[05:33] <Ben64> they all use wine
[05:34] <Ben64> which is why you can use vnc or something else that is better supported
[05:34] <DJJeff> its not me that needs help
[05:34] <DJJeff> and they would have no clue how to install or use vnc
[05:34] <DJJeff> plus vnc requires port forwarding
[05:35] <DJJeff> teamviewer uses udp and just works
[05:37] <edition> is HP lying to me?
[05:38] <edition> I have a ~1ghz Quad core cpu, but it says 800MhZ. How can I fix this?
[05:42] <Ben64> edition: it is likely being scaled down to save power and heat
[05:42] <edition> what can I do?
[05:44] <edition> is there programs for checking the core temp?
[05:45] <edition> hang on... at the moment the total CPU usage is 4%
[05:48] <Ben64> edition: pastebin the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
[05:48] <edition> ok
[05:50] <edition> http://pastebin.com/L1j3sVkg
[05:52] <Ben64> edition: uh, looks like it's running at 1.5ghz
[05:54] <harjot> #git
[05:56] <somsip> harjot: well, that escalated quickly...
[05:57] <harjot> k
[05:58] <sakhisakh> lol. well that was an underwelming response
[05:58] <shuvojit> hii
[05:58] <shuvojit> anybody online ?

[06:05] <Aki-Thinkpad> my ide (qtcreator) is just not doing it for me today. I forked a project, and need to adjust all the licensing prefix in about a hundred headers and source files. Is there a good desktop way I can accomplish this? qtcreator can't do search and replaces for anything with a linebreak in it.
[06:07] <koalabeer> loooooollllllllllllll
[06:07] <somsip> Aki-Thinkpad: sed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10445934/change-multiple-files
[06:08] <brainwave> So can I create a temporary file in RAM, and mount my /dev/sda2 partition (big one) on that?
[06:08] <somsip> brainwave: no. What are you trying to achieve, really?
[06:09] <brainwave> somsip, good point. I should have asked that instead.
[06:09] <brainwave> So I have my music in /dev/sda2. I just want to read it from Linux so I am going to mount it read only.
[06:09] <brainwave> So I wish to access that music from my Linux. Just read.
[06:09] <somsip> brainwave: mount it in any suitable place. Like ~/music, or /mnt/music
[06:10] <brainwave> somsip, yeah that sounds a better idea.
[06:10] <brainwave> Also, should I symlink that location to my ~/Music or should I use mount with a --bind
[06:12] <somsip> brainwave: mount --bind seems a bit overkill from what I read
[06:12] <brainwave> somsip, why?
[06:13] <somsip> brainwave: if you search you may see the same articles I'm looking at
[06:14] <brainwave> somsip, I am searching but that seems a hard shot.
[06:15] <brainwave> If you use google then certainly our results are likely different.
[06:15] <somsip> brainwave: google "mount bind symlinks". I looked it up to try to help you, but I'm not copying and pasting info that is new to me
[06:17] <brainwave> somsip, just link is enough.
[06:17] <brainwave> I will assume your disclaimer :)
[06:17] <brainwave> somsip, but I found info. Thanks.
[06:17]  * brainwave got his boot time to 5.2 seconds yay!
[06:18] <edition> thanks for that
[06:19] <edition> from that cpuinfo, was there any points of interest?
[06:20] <brainwave> edition, are you talking to me?
[06:20] <edition> yes
[06:20] <brainwave> edition, cpuinfo ?
[06:20] <edition> sorry. I meant http://pastebin.com/L1j3sVkg
[06:20] <edition> by cpuinfo
[06:21] <brainwave> edition, I don't know what you are asking/telling.
[06:21] <brainwave> I am seeing the cpuinfo but unable to get what you are trying to convey
[06:22] <edition> I want to go beyond the 800mhz limit
[06:22] <edition> can ubuntu do that? :)
[06:23] <Ben64> edition: as i told you 30 mins ago, you're running at 1.5ghz
[06:23] <Ben64> 1.5ghz is indeed over 800mhz
[06:24] <edition> strange. It wasn't 1.5ghz 20mins ago... I must've installed something.
[06:24] <edition> ah. I installed CPU scaling. Theres the fix :)
[06:24] <edition> many thanks
[06:24] <Ben64> edition: more likely is what i told you, it scales to what is needed
[06:25] <edition> i've spent too long on MS windows :)
[06:25] <Ben64> edition: although i do notice you are running under the "performance" governor, and that is not recommended on laptops, could cause overheating
[06:26] <brainwave> what is your hard disk ? SSD or rotational?
[06:27] <edition> oh. should I disable it?
[06:27] <Ben64> edition: you should set it back to ondemand
[06:28] <edition> how?
[06:28] <brainwave> edition, are you on SSD?
[06:28] <edition> no
[06:29] <edition> should I be worried about performance governor?
[06:29] <edition> doesn't seem to be overheating
[06:29] <Ben64> edition: it could
[06:29] <brainwave> edition, do you have powertop?
[06:29] <brainwave> edition, check your power usage
[06:29] <Ben64> edition: not sure what you installed to make it performance, but i suggest you undo that
[06:31] <edition> yeah, battery lasts just over 1hr
[06:32] <Abhijit> whats the command to login mysql with root and give its password?
[06:32] <somsip> Abhijit: mysql -u root -p
[06:32]  * brainwave 's battery lasts 11 hours
[06:32] <edition> omg
[06:33] <Abhijit> somsip, ok
[06:33] <brainwave> :)
[06:33] <Abhijit> brainwave, and how much when in use?
[06:33] <brainwave> Abhijit, 10 with vim coding, and some irc
[06:33] <brainwave> without wifi and using only ethernet, of course.
[06:34] <bekks> brainwave: and at lowest cpu freq, in text mode only? :)
[06:34] <brainwave> bekks, 800MHz
[06:34] <brainwave> I do not know
[06:34] <brainwave> never did that test!
[06:35] <bekks> brainwave: 800MHz is the lowest setting most likely. I could work with that :)
[06:35] <brainwave> bekks, the main thing is using fourth gen processors.
[06:35] <brainwave> That is the reason I get these battery lifes
[06:36] <bekks> brainwave: Yeah, but battery life isnt everything :)
[06:36] <brainwave> bekks, agreed.
[06:36] <brainwave> But for me, weight and battery were main considerations. :)
[06:36] <brainwave> Power i have my desktop for sshing!
[06:36] <edition> why doesn't Blender see my AMD GPU?
[06:37] <bekks> brainwave: a powerful CPU is worth ore, for me, along with a lot of RAM. :)
[06:37] <brainwave> :)
[06:37] <brainwave> bekks, to each his own!
[06:37] <bekks> brainwave: Requirements do differ :)
[06:37] <edition> I thought AMD GPUs were fairly mainstream
[06:37] <brainwave> very much.
[06:37] <bekks> edition: So which GPU are you using currently?
[06:38] <edition> AMD Vision
[06:38] <bekks> edition: And which Ubuntu release?
[06:38] <edition> XUbuntu
[06:39] <edition> whoops,
[06:39] <edition> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[06:39] <bekks> edition: Can you please pastebin the output of "lspci -k"?
[06:39] <bekks> !pastebin | edition
[06:39] <edition> thanks
[06:40] <brainwave> bekks, what cli tool would you recommend for playing songs?
[06:41] <edition> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7709697/
[06:41] <bekks> brainwave: ncmpc
[06:41] <brainwave> bekks, any reason?
[06:42] <bekks> edition: you are using the free radeon driver - maybe you can use the proprietary fglrx driver.
[06:42] <bekks> brainwave: It's just a cli autio player. :)
[06:42] <edition> where abouts is that?
[06:42] <edition> is it available through apt?
[06:42] <bekks> !fglrx
[06:43] <edition> is there catches with the proprietary drivers?
[06:44] <brainwave> edition, on some hardware, open source drivers may not work well.
[06:44] <edition> ok. Ill give it a try
[06:44] <brainwave> You got to stick with what they give then.
[06:44] <brainwave> But
[06:44] <brainwave> on some hardware open source is 'actually' better
[06:45] <brainwave> My old broadcom wireless card, ran better under reverse engineered open source driver than broadcom's wl
[06:45] <brainwave> So try both.
[06:45] <brainwave> In case the driver works but with bugs, open source one should get fixed firs.
[06:46] <edition> will blender detect the graphics card, after the install?
[06:46] <bitnumus> hi, is iptables installed as default on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[06:48] <hellinterim> bitnumus, I happen to be on a fresh install right now and I have iptables.
[06:48] <bitnumus> hmm ok, my VPS provider isn't online, can you think why it would be removed from a template ?
[06:48] <edition> oh damn. Blender wont open!
[06:49] <bitnumus> also, i can't use ping without sudo, seems odd
[06:49] <brainwave> I have installed mpd as a music daemon
[06:49] <Abhijit> whats the keyboard shortcut to execute query in mysql workbench?
[06:49] <brainwave> What client should I use?
[06:49] <edition> running from the terminal... "X Error of failed request:  GLXBadRenderRequest"
[06:50] <Abhijit> brainwave, are sure this is standard ubuntu or customised?
[06:50] <brainwave> Abhijit, I am not sure it is even there on ubuntu.
[06:50] <brainwave> But it should be. Lemme check.
[06:50] <brainwave> There Abhijit
[06:56] <Beldar> edition, Look for the blender config in /home/.config if there delete and try to open it again
[06:56] <edition> ill try that
[06:57] <edition> blender config doesn't exist :/
[06:58] <hellinterim> bitnumus, maybe ping is not setuid
[06:58] <bitnumus> What would be the reason for that ?
[06:59] <Abhijit> mysql can not read a file stored in /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ folder. shall i chmod -R 777 to /var? this is not a production machine. doens matter what happends with security. the only thinng is everything should work after that?
[06:59] <Abhijit> help!
[06:59] <somsip> Abhijit: sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/*
[07:00] <Abhijit> somsip, same error.
[07:00] <Abhijit> somsip, 777?
[07:01] <somsip> Abhijit: are all files 640 (or 660) and dirs 700 (or 770)?
[07:01] <somsip> Abhijit: never 777
[07:01] <Abhijit> somsip, itns not a production machine. i can reinstall os.
[07:01] <somsip> Abhijit: well, it's a very bad smell to 777
[07:02] <somsip> Abhijit: your machine - do what you want. Bad thing to do though
[07:02] <Abhijit> somsip, all are these -rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql
[07:02] <somsip> Abhijit: in all databases too as well as in mysql root?
[07:03] <Abhijit> somsip, in /var/lib/mysql
[07:03] <somsip> Abhijit: and in the databases?
[07:03] <Abhijit> somsip, where does in database means?
[07:03] <somsip> Abhijit: /var/lib/mysql/my_database_directory
[07:03] <Abhijit> somsip, yes same
[07:04] <somsip> Abhijit: paste the output of the mysql error log using pastebin
[07:04] <Abhijit> somsip, but those two files i am talking about are -rwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql
[07:04] <somsip> Abhijit: 777 is bad. I can't give you advice if you are going to do things like that
[07:05] <Abhijit> somsip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7709785/
[07:06] <somsip> Abhijit: why is GeoLiteCity-Blocks.csv in /var/lib/mysql/mysql?
[07:07] <Abhijit> somsip, i just thought to copy it in db folder?
[07:07] <somsip> Abhijit: It looks like it'
[07:07] <Abhijit> somsip, where shall i move it?
[07:07] <somsip> 's a CSV you're trying to import into a DB, yes?
[07:07] <Abhijit> yes.
[07:07] <helmut_> hi
[07:07] <somsip> Abhijit: put it somewhere else then. /tmp even.
[07:08] <Abhijit> somsip, does mysql automatically fetch from /tpm then? or i need to tell it where to  look for?
[07:08] <somsip> Abhijit: you need to import the file using an absolute path
[07:08] <Abhijit> ok. let me try.
[07:09] <Abhijit> somsip, the files are in /tmp now with this -rwxr-xr-x  1 mysql   mysql and i did load data infile '/tmp/GeoLiteCity-Blocks.csv' into table `blocks`  still same error
[07:10] <brainwave> How do i play a file using mpd+mpc?
[07:11] <|inux> greetings.. when I installed updates today and rebooted I was able to login but then nothing happens... It just shows my screen.. I tried uninstalling my video drivers and reinstalling... I tried uninstalling compiz.... I tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop... all nada
[07:11] <|inux> any advice?
[07:11] <somsip> Abhijit: files? Which other files have you moved?
[07:12] <Abhijit> somsip, there are two database files. one is blocks.csv and other location.csv. i did not moved any other mysql files.
[07:12] <somsip> Abhijit: it seems like you don't know what you are doing here, and this is way offtopic now. You'll need to go to ##mysql if you want more help with this.
[07:13] <user258467> Hi, I have trouble to download php5-gd it failed with a 404 at ttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/php5-gd_5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb does anyone else has this problem?
[07:13] <Abhijit> somsip, i thought i was importing files in db? anyway thanks for the help so far.
[07:15] <Ben64> user258467: how are you trying to download that
[07:15] <presonic> anyone know to overwrite grub and boot straight to windows on a duel boot scenario?
[07:16] <Ben64> grub will let you boot to windows
[07:16] <user258467> Ben64, with "apt-get install -y php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-xdebug php5-json
[07:16] <presonic> ben: i want to rewrite the mbr to just straight to windows, no grub dialog
[07:16] <Ben64> presonic: then ask in ##windows ... you won't be able to access linux anymore
[07:19] <user258467> Ben64, I think i have just forget to run apt-get update before
[07:24] <Abhijit> somsip, it was the formatting of the file name. it just made plain simple one word name.csv and it worked.
[07:27] <e^0> which is httpd configuration file in ubuntu ?
[07:27] <negev> hi, is there yet a way to apt-get dist-upgrade and only install updates that can be installed without user intervention?  or failing that, some way to determine whether any of the pending updates require user interaction?  every other day i apply patches that could be automated, but occassionally there's one that requires me to ok something with an ncurses gui which would fail if i just auto-updated everything :/
[07:27] <somsip> e^0: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

[08:00] <colonolGron> here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ i found a iso containing "mac" in its name. does this mean this version runs properly under macbooks?
[08:00] <colonolGron> (i have the macbook pro retina)
[08:05] <Beldar> colonolGron, The link explains the use with apple computers of two iso types depending on the hardware.
[08:06] <Beldar> colonolGron, If you find that info you will know which to use.
[08:06] <colonolGron> Beldar: i read " This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems."
[08:06] <Layke> Why can I not install this package? http://pastie.org/private/zk7d14elgcwzt3lvlgrxzq
[08:06] <colonolGron> but i wasnt sure if this mean everything works properly or its just optimized for processor architecture
[08:07] <Layke> It's always worked for me previously
[08:07] <Beldar> colonolGron, apple macs are mentioned in the PC (Intel x86) desktop image as well
[08:08] <colonolGron> also: if i use this iso, do i have the possibility to install another window manager _instead_ of unity, not besides it?
[08:08] <bazhang> colonolGron, yes, of course, such as gnome-shell, or whatever
[08:09] <Beldar> !raring | Layke
[08:09] <colonolGron> bazhang: okay :)
[08:09] <Layke> I'm on 12.04?
[08:09] <Layke> I though they were LTS
[08:10] <Beldar> Layke, than why the raring link. http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main libxslt1.1 i386 1.1.27-1ubuntu2  403  Forbidden
[08:10] <Layke> Ah okay
[08:10] <Layke> So my instance had bad sources
[08:10] <Layke> On AWS..
[08:11] <Beldar> Layke, And you have 146 not upgraded is this associated, any info on this?
[08:11] <Layke> What do you recommend? Just run an upgrade?
[08:11] <Layke> I'll just use 14.04
[08:12] <Beldar> Layke, 14.04 is  nice, but any upgrade needs the OS now to be fully updated with no errors.
[08:13] <Beldar> The official lts upgrade is towards the end of july Layke
[08:13] <Layke> Okay thanks Beldar
[08:16] <nfactorial> yo
[08:17] <bcvery> nfactorial, Hi, please ask your support question
[08:34] <nfactorial> yo
[08:34] <Beldar> yo mah
[08:34] <nfactorial> I want to sync windows phone with linux.. But how?
[08:35] <nfactorial> is it even possible?
[08:35] <Beldar> nfactorial, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=sync+windows+phone+with+linux&gbv=1&sei=vyytU-b-KI_FoASqoYHoDw
[08:36] <Beldar> take a look
[08:36] <edition> cant afford a windows phone
[08:37] <cfhowlett> android is a whole lot cheaper and more linux friendly
[08:37] <nfactorial> well, I did that already.. apparently the file system support is different.. And they don't have an app to do that yet. I was a windows(both phone and desktop). I discovered linux a year ago.. now I have moved to be a sole linux user..
[08:38] <Beldar> nfactorial, This is ubuntu support not linux, are you using ubuntu?
[08:39] <nfactorial> yeah..
[08:39] <inki> hi
[08:39] <nfactorial> is ubuntu not linux???
[08:39] <inki> i have downloaded the 14.04 desktop iso and mounted it in a virtual cdrom drive. now how can I install on an external hard drive without booting from the iso?
[08:40] <Ben64> nfactorial: ubuntu is linux, linux is not necessarily ubuntu. this channel is for ubuntu support only
[08:40] <Beldar> nfactorial, In  about 5 years of being here daily you are the first I have seen with a windows phone issue, kinda unusual. Yes ubuntu is linux, but many channels have specific OS support, just confirming you use ubuntu.
[08:41] <cfhowlett> nfactorial open your linux terminal.  report output from this command:    cat /etc/issue
[08:42] <inki> I'm currently on Win7
[08:42] <Beldar> inki, An external will have some speed issues even if usb 3 are you aware of this, and why an external?
[08:42] <inki> oh, sorry, it's not external, it's actually internal. my bad.
[08:43] <inki> after install, i will put it into a headless server
[08:43] <nfactorial> ubuntu 14.04 lts
[08:43] <Beldar> inki, I'm not sure what a virtual cdrom drive is.
[08:43] <inki> well, mount an iso
[08:44] <cfhowlett> nfactorial and what exactly do you want to sync?
[08:44] <Beldar> inki, Not really usable as an install as far as I know.
[08:44] <inki> i might try WUBI
[08:45] <Beldar> inki, wubi is not supprted and a bad idea
[08:45] <cfhowlett> inki bad idea.  BAD idea.  possibly the WORST idea ...
[08:45] <nfactorial> so anyone got any ideas?
[08:45] <inki> why is wubi.exe in the root of the official iso then?
[08:45] <Beldar> inki, Use a virtual machine.
[08:45] <cfhowlett> nfactorial asking again: WHAT do you want to synch.
[08:46] <cfhowlett> inki for the masochists in the community.  note that it is NOT supported.
[08:46] <inki> ok, so i should burn the iso.
[08:46] <Beldar> or a usb inki
[08:47] <cfhowlett> inki with a virtual machine, no usb required ...
[08:47] <kostkon> !wubi
[08:47] <cfhowlett> inki install virtualbox to win7.  create a virtual machine.  install ubuntu to said machine
[08:48] <inki> but I want to install to a physical hard disk that i want to put into a headless physical server afterwards
[08:49] <cfhowlett> inki I missed the part where you explained why you can't install to a physical HDD?
[08:49] <inki> cfhowlett: I'm just checking how I can attach a physical disk to virtualbox
[08:50] <inki> guess I can do it with vboxmanage
[08:52] <BlackHat> Sup fuckers
[08:53] <BlackHat> -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs chat.freenode.net 6697
[08:53] <cfhowlett> !ops | blackhat    profanity
[08:53] <Jac0bz1> I have NO IDEA of this is the right place. But if anyone know what i should google for, it would be great :P :P Is there an app that lets me stream things from my phone to ubuntu? Like if ubuntu was a "chromecast"
[08:54] <inki> cfhowlett: come on, profanity
[08:54] <inki> this is lame
[08:54] <Beldar> inki, Family channel worldwide get used to it.
[08:54] <cfhowlett> inki read the community expectations - profanity is out..  this is a family friendly channel
[08:55] <inki> it's cloistered to try to protect children from profanity. they will encounter it one day anyway, so we better prepare them for it.
[08:55] <inki> my opinion.
[08:56] <k1l> inki: please stop the discussion in here. read the guidelines, they are very insults and family frindly language. lets focus on technical support again
[08:57] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | inki
[08:57] <inki> ok
[08:58] <inki> One very last remark: An insult is only an insult if someone wants to humiliate someone. By plainly saying "That's f*cking cool", I don't insult anyone. But now I will stop the discussion.
[08:58] <inki> Sorry
[08:58] <kdeder> hi, does anyone use radeon cards?
[08:58] <kdeder> I am curious how the R7 250 does in ubuntu
[08:59] <Beldar> kdeder, many the actual would be your best chance at help.
[08:59] <Beldar> issue*
[08:59] <kdeder> sorry, what?
[08:59] <inki> Which architecture do I have to use for an Atom based machine?
[08:59] <Beldar> kdeder, State the actual issue.
[08:59] <kdeder> Beldar:  I don't understand - ?
[08:59] <kdeder> oh, I don't own the card yet :)
[09:00] <kdeder> I'm wondering how open source drivers are with that card in ubuntu 14.04
[09:00] <Beldar> kdeder, Than research, that is not really a support issue.
[09:00] <kdeder> oh right, sorry
[09:01] <kdeder> maybe off-topic might know?
[09:02] <cfhowlett> kdeder start there, yes
[09:03] <kanwar> How can i contact in any organizatio in which i am interested
[09:03] <cfhowlett> !topic | kanwar ????
[09:05] <inki> Can some advise me if I should install i386 or amd64 on an Atom based machine?
[09:06] <k1l> inki: see if the hardwware can handle 64bit. if so go with 64bit
[09:06] <inki> ok thx
[09:07] <kostkon> inki, some atom cpus support 64bit, check yours against this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors

[09:34] <bipul> Hello anyone know the current document for installing Subversion server on ubuntu 12.04
[09:35] <bcvery> !subversion | bipul
[09:37] <matiit> Hello, I've got problem/question
[09:37] <matiit> Is it possible on 14.04 to get touchpad gestures running?
[09:37] <matiit> My touchpad (on Dell 5537) supports up to 5 finger gestures
[09:37] <matiit> but on 14.04 only 2-finger scrolling works.
[09:38] <matiit> I would appreciate any help
[09:42] <bt_> Hey guys
[09:42] <sveta> hello
[09:43] <Capprentice> Hello !
[09:43] <bt_> i have sound problem in ubuntu
[09:43] <snerk_> Can someone help me configure my clickpad (left / right mouse buttons are beneath the surface of the trackpad). Click and drag (using two fingers) is behaving crazy.
[09:43] <Capprentice> What problem?
[09:43] <bt_> my sound properly working but i there is no sound at all.
[09:44] <Capprentice> Run this command: gstreamer-properties in terminal. In audio ALSA or PulseAudio must be chosen.
[09:45] <snerk_> So far I have tried tweaking some parameters using synclient, but I'm not achieving what I want.
[09:45] <sveta> Hi, “Plymouth is the application which provides the graphical "splash" screen when booting and shutting down an Ubuntu system. -- Note that on Ubuntu, Plymouth is considered to be the "owner" of the console device (/dev/console) so no application should attempt to modify terminal attributes for this device at boot or shutdown.” ← why the latter? why does a gui app concern itself with a console device? thanks.
[09:47] <bt_> Capprentice: still no sound.
[09:48] <bt_> i have checked sound device and there is no problem at all, my audio playing but i hear no sound, tried with headphone and speaker.
[09:48] <Capprentice> Install Alsa Mixer GUI and Pulse Audio Volume Control. Trun all the values to max. Do you have Jack or QjackCTL?
[09:49] <bt_> i tried that with alsamixer and all of 'em in high level.
[09:50] <bcvery> bt_, how have you checked the sound device?
[09:50] <bt_> bcvery: aplay -l
[09:50] <brainwave> bt_, what are the audio devices? (alsamixer -> f6 )
[09:51] <bt_> bcvery: aplay -l
[09:51] <bt_> **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

[09:53] <Capprentice> bt_, check your BIOS settings.
[09:54] <bt_> i'll check, but i didn't change bios recently.
[09:56] <bt_> my sound card worked properly until yesterday, but today suddenly it dosen't work.
[09:57] <matiit> anybody with multitouch gestures? :>
[09:59] <somsip> !touch | matiit
[10:01] <kostkon> bt_, have you tried to setup your sound again in Sound Settings
[10:02] <bt_> kostkon: no
[10:02] <matiit> Anyone with working touchpad gestures?
[10:02] <kostkon> bt_, open your sound settings and try every possible configuration
[10:05] <brainwave> matiit, touchegg
[10:05] <brainwave> I have
[10:09] <matiit> brainwave: touchegg isn't working on 14.04 for me
[10:28] <uve> does anybody know a site to upload files?
[10:28] <matiit> uve: mega.com?
[10:29] <uve> mega.com isn't working..
[10:29] <uve> u mean megafileupload.com?
[10:30] <bcvery> !topic | uve
[10:30] <ikonia> uve: how does this fit into ubuntu support ?
[10:31] <uve> ikonia: i need to download a file from another pc and it keeps getting corrupted i get an error when i do tar -xzvf
[10:31] <anvar> help me. i need technical support
[10:31] <anvar> how to install a .sh file
[10:31] <uve> sorry i mean unzip blabla
[10:31] <ikonia> anvar: you don't,
[10:31] <jrib> anvar: what exactly do you want to install?
[10:31] <ikonia> anvar: what are you trying to actually install
[10:32] <jrib> uve: what OS on both machines?
[10:32] <uve> both ubuntu
[10:32] <jrib> uve: what error are you getting?
[10:32] <uve> End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
[10:32] <uve>   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive
[10:33] <uve> etc etc.
[10:33] <uve> i tried 3-4 upload sites from google searching
[10:33] <uve> anything else transfers fine, only .zip files aren't working
[10:33] <jrib> uve: why did you say you were using tar if it is a zip file?
[10:34] <uve> sorry i meant unzip not tar
[10:34] <jrib> uve: can you unzip on the machine you copied from?
[10:34] <anvar> i want to install jdk with netbeans
[10:34] <uve> yes it works
[10:35] <jrib> uve: you can use scp to copy between machines if you want and avoid any file uploading service
[10:35] <anvar> i downloaded a package from oracle website. iam new to this os.
[10:35] <uve> i need to upload it
[10:35] <uve> thanks for the info though
[10:36] <kostkon> anvar, http://askubuntu.com/questions/75549/how-do-i-install-netbeans
[10:36] <bipul> Ok  I need a help,I am configuring SVN ,and  I am not getting this statement "SVNParentPath /svn" in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf. I need to know whether this statement is it mandatory ? or should i just add it or leave it.
[10:36] <jrib> uve: scp lets you copy between machines.  Is that not what you want to do ?
[10:36] <bluefrog> uve, scp file-to-upload user@host.com:.
[10:36] <ikonia> bluefrog: "not geting this statement" ?
[10:36] <ikonia> oos
[10:36] <ikonia> bipul:  "not geting this statement" ?
[10:37] <ikonia> bipul: that statement if for a web service, not svn
[10:37] <brainwave> matiit, you got to close touch gestures from ubuntu to do this
[10:37] <bipul> ikonia, I am following this tutorial https://sites.google.com/site/opensourceconstriubtions/ettl-martin-1/tutorials/how-to-install-subversion-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts
[10:38] <jrib> bipul: out of curiosity, do you really want svn?  A lot of people seem to prefer distributed vcs nowadays like git
[10:38] <brainwave> matiit, X cannot send events to touchegg, if it is also sending it to other processes.
[10:39] <ikonia> bipul: the line you pasted is not mentioned anywhere in that document
[10:39] <uve> jrib: bluefrog: thanks! very cool...
[10:39] <bipul> jrib, just for curiosity man
[10:40] <bipul> I need to see how SVN works
[10:40] <zM> o/
[10:40] <mezgani> hello
[10:40] <mezgani> is their a tool like lsof
[10:40] <jrib> mezgani: lsof
[10:40] <mezgani> and that what did lsof but in kernel side
[10:40] <zM> I've a little problem since this morning, I cannot access to some random websites (ovh.com, koreus.com, launchpad.net, ubuntu.com etc ...)
[10:41] <mezgani> I need to browse all openfiles buy vmlinuz
[10:41] <zM> I tried to disable dnsmasq, but nothing better happened
[10:41] <mezgani> lsof -ni
[10:41] <ikonia> why would you disble dnsmasq - that's your resolver ?
[10:41] <brainwave> Messenger_bird,
[10:41] <brainwave> mezgani, what you 'really' want to do
[10:41] <zM> Because I saw some error logs in my /var/log/syslog
[10:42] <zM> about dnsmasq. But I have to say that I don't know many things about DNS ...
[10:42] <zM> And even less about dnsmasq
[10:42] <mezgani> my machine has two ethernet interface
[10:42] <zM> I had a look on my iptable, apparently nothing.
[10:42] <ikonia> zM: so why are you disabling it ?
[10:43] <mezgani> I need to know files opened by kernel to talk to eth0
[10:43] <ikonia> zM: if you know nothing about it, why are you randomly disabling it ?
[10:43] <ikonia> mezgani: files don't talk to eth0
[10:43] <ikonia> mezgani: eth0 is a network interface identifier
[10:43] <mezgani> OK
[10:43] <zM> Because, as I said it, I saw some error messages in my log files about this application. I tried to disable it a second to see if something changes
[10:44] <ageis> how to force gnome-fallback (classic with no effects) in Ubuntu  12.04, with gdm3 for ALL users? it seems the gsettings only  affects one user at a time
[10:44] <ikonia> zM: you said nothing about seeing a dnsmasq error in your log
[10:44] <ikonia> zM: you simpley said some website where broken
[10:44] <zM> I said, read ...
[10:44] <ikonia> zM: no, you didn't, you've not shown any log
[10:44] <brainwave> mezgani,
[10:45] <brainwave> So you just want eth0 to work on both computers?
[10:45] <brainwave> Is that what you want?
[10:45] <zM> I didn't show my logs, but I said that I did read them. Anyway, you want my logs ? (I did some search about this program and those errors, apparently it's not the problem).
[10:45] <ikonia> zM: why don't you just explain the actual problem
[10:45] <mezgani> ikonia: I know that kernel talk to /sys devices
[10:46] <zM> If you want to help me, can we go in private or an other chan ?
[10:46] <ikonia> mezgani: not always, for example network devices don't have a device file
[10:46] <mezgani> but I need a tool like lsof that return list of files opened by kernel
[10:46] <ikonia> zM: no need, here is fine
[10:46] <zM> I want to access to several websites.
[10:46] <ikonia> mezgani: whats the problem you are trying to solve
[10:46] <zM> Thoses I can't access now
[10:46] <brainwave> mezgani, you still aren't telling what you 'want' to do
[10:46] <ikonia> zM: ok, what's an example of one that is failing
[10:46] <zM> I could, this morning !
[10:46] <mezgani> I need to know
[10:46] <zM> launchpad.com
[10:46] <mezgani> that s all
[10:46] <zM> .net*
[10:47] <brainwave> you are stuck on one approach that you 'think' is solving a problem.
[10:47] <ikonia> mezgani: why - explain what the issue is
[10:47] <ikonia> zM: launchpad.net right ? that's not working ?
[10:47] <zM> ikonia: yep
[10:48] <ikonia> zM: what happens when you try to visit the site
[10:48]  * brainwave appreciates ikonia's patience
[10:48] <histo> mezgani: are you talking about lsmod?
[10:49] <zM> ikonia: The page just doesn't load. It says "host resolution" (I try to translate that from french, excuse me if it's not the exact phrase ; ) and ... nothing.
[10:49] <ikonia> zM: do you know how to open a terminal ?
[10:49] <zM> My browser says that it cannot find the page
[10:49] <zM> Yeah, of course
[10:49] <zM> ("of course" or "off course" ?)
[10:49] <ikonia> zM: ok, can you please type in a terminal "nslookup www.launchpad.net" and put the output in a pastebin please.
[10:50] <zM> Server:		192.168.1.1 Address:	192.168.1.1#53  ** server can't find www.launchpad.net: SERVFAIL
[10:50] <brainwave> I can open it fine
[10:50] <ikonia> zM: ok, so the host 192.168.1.1 (is that your router) cannot find the IP address for the name launchpad.net
[10:50] <ikonia> zM: so what is 192.168.1.1
[10:50] <zM> ikonia: yep it's my router
[10:51] <matiit> brainwave: is there any how to's?
[10:51] <ikonia> zM: ok, so a.) reboot your router - confirm the problem is still there b.) then contact your ISP and explain your ISP's dns is not working
[10:51] <brainwave> matiit, how to not directily.
[10:52] <zM> ikonia: okay ! Only know that it's not my computer is f*ckin' good !
[10:52] <ikonia> zM: there is no need to swear
[10:52] <zM> ikonia: Thank you very much. See you : )
[10:52] <ikonia> I've just helped you and you start talking to me with bad language, there is zero need
[10:52] <zM> ikonia: sorry ...
[10:52] <zM> bye everyone

[10:56] <Fuchs> the bots here are not really for toying around, they have factoids, though

[11:04] <brainwave> So I am trying to run i3
[11:07] <brainwave> how can i configure multimedia keys?
[11:07] <anDixx> some have news about
[11:07] <anDixx> ubuntu touch ? for my windows tab
[11:07] <Fuchs> brainwave: see with `xev` what keycode they generate
[11:07] <Fuchs> brainwave: then have a look at http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#keybindings
[11:07] <Fuchs> brainwave: if they don't produce a decent keycode: see if they produce something with acpi_listen
[11:07] <cfhowlett> !touch|andixx
[11:09] <anDixx> i cant find nothing for how to install this
[11:09] <brainwave> Fuchs, they produce acpi events.
[11:10] <brainwave> I can do that part all right (configured my brightness)
[11:10] <brainwave> I do not know what to do after the acpi is detected
[11:11] <Fuchs> brainwave: that should be WM independant, really
[11:12] <brainwave> Fuchs, I see
[11:14] <brainwave> I want to change the ubuntu startup color from purple to something else
[11:15] <brainwave> (just after grub choice till the ubuntu dots uptil login manager shows up)
[11:15] <brainwave> How can i modify that behaviour?

[11:20] <gb1> I'm getting the "V9 similar prices" popup when in Chrome...
[11:20] <xyzt> hi
[11:20] <gb1> All Google search results talk about Windows... none on Linux.  No funny looking Chrome extensions are present.
[11:21] <k1l> gb1: remove the addons
[11:21] <xyzt> unix forevar
[11:21] <bcvery> xyzt, Hi, do you have a support question?
[11:21] <gb1> Yeah, only AdBlock Plus, Google Remote Desktop and Video Download Helper are present...
[11:21] <robotdevil> how do I my mouseback button to control other web browser like firefox does
[11:22] <k1l> gb1: then reset the startup page, too
[11:22] <gb1> No startup page or search engine takeovers... just the V9 popup on shopping sites. :(
[11:23] <gb1> Holy crap... it's Video Download Helper doing it.
[11:23] <robotdevil> all theinfo seems so dated, Ive used xev to see what button it is
[11:23] <gb1> Not exactly malware, but not exactly transparent behavior on its part.
[11:24] <gb1> Geez, it's listed as a "feature".  Scared the crap out of me.  OK, carry on.  :)

[11:28] <Guest72621> Is this a chat, or support forum?
[11:28] <ikonia> bipul: the web site - is not svn
[11:28] <ikonia> they are two seperate things
[11:28] <ikonia> svn is the version control system, the http component is different
[11:28] <Guest72621> Can you redrict me to the support forum.
[11:28] <Munster> Guest72621, support
[11:28] <DJones> Guest72621: This is support
[11:28] <bcvery> Guest72621, this is support, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <bipul> Yes, But I am accessing SVN via browser
[11:28] <Guest72621> Oh. Thank you.
[11:29] <ikonia> bipul: right, so that's not svn
[11:29] <ikonia> bipul: thats the http plugin
[11:29] <ikonia> (module)
[11:29] <bipul> and I hope it's not wrong way to access svn via browser
[11:29] <Guest72621> I have an HP laptop with windows vista. I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 ``Saucy Salamander" from the CD that I bought from a magazine.
[11:29] <bipul> ikonia, But my question was when i have created files in svntest directory which i am not able to see via browser
[11:31] <hateball> Guest72621: While you can install 13.10, it's not an LTS release so you should upgrade it to 14.04 asap after install, or even better burn a new 14.04 install disc at once
[11:31] <Guest72621> I changed the BIOS settings. I changed it so that the DVD drive had priority, and put the ``notebook hard drive" to last. I assumed this was Windows Vista.
[11:31] <robotdevil> or if someone could just tell me how firefox does it
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> Guest72621  apart from whatg hateball says, what's your question or issue?
[11:31] <Guest72621> So you think that I should upgrade to 14.04?
[11:32] <Munster> Guest72621, what magazine ?
[11:32] <hateball> Guest72621: Well it won't help you with BIOS boot order, but for a new install you should use 14.04 over 13.10
[11:32] <Guest72621> it keeps booting up windows vista anyway
[11:32] <ikonia> bipul: I don't understand your question
[11:32] <Guest72621> Ok thanks. I am getting the iso from ftp.
[11:32] <hateball> Guest72621: Most HP machines let you press F9 to choose a boot device
[11:33] <gb1> Guest72621:Could be that the CD is faulty and not bootable.
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> Guest72621  usually F12 is the key you have to press to change the boot device
[11:33] <sydney> Mines f8 :P
[11:33] <hateball> MonkeyDust, Guest72621: F12 is PXE boot by default on HP
[11:33] <Munster> Guest72621, hope you just paid for shipping
[11:33] <hateball> (I am surrounded by a few hundred HP machines as we speak)
[11:33] <Guest72621> I pressed esc to change the boot device.
[11:33] <Guest72621> Really?
[11:33] <hateball> That should also work
[11:33] <Guest72621> a few hundre
[11:33] <Guest72621> d?
[11:34] <hateball> Guest72621: Did you see if it tried to read from the CD at all?
[11:34] <Guest72621> Thanks for asking that. When I logged in to windows vista, it was being very deflective when I put in the CD.
[11:35] <Munster> since when did ubuntu make offers in mags ?
[11:35] <robotdevil> nobody knows
[11:36] <Guest72621> When I tried to click on the CD (which usually lets me explore the contents) it just did nothing and pretended that there was no ubuntu.
[11:36] <Munster> doubt the cd is legit , I'd be careful
[11:36] <robotdevil> and if there is no xorg.conf how is my mouse buttons supported now
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> Munster  ubuntu does have its own printed magazine, simply called "ubuntu-user"
[11:36] <robotdevil> rc file?
[11:37] <Munster> MonkeyDust, yes, but i asked which magazine, there was no reply
[11:37] <yeats> Munster: several Linux/FOSS mags include such CDs - nothing suspicious there IMHO
[11:38] <hateball> Guest72621: Well then, sounds like the CD is busted. Assuming other CD's work in the same drive
[11:38] <Guest72621> Is anybody there anymore?
[11:38] <DJones> Munster: http://www.tuxradar.com/files/lxf_covers/179-big.jpg As a typical example
[11:38] <Munster> yeats, well, it isn't working , so I'd be wary
[11:39] <Guest72621> The Windows Explorer told me that there were two drives. On the actual computer, there was actually only 1 drive.
[11:40] <robotdevil> should have gotten better at these things when irc was better, stupid job
[11:40] <vale22> hi everyone, i've installed ubuntu studio 14.04 on a macbook pro 4.1 but the audio doesn't seem to work. any help?
[11:40] <Guest72621> Drive (E:) is the one that I put it in. How do I know this? I tried ejecting both drives. Nothing happened when I ejected (F:), but my CD came out when I ejected (E:).
[11:41] <Guest72621> I will try your suggestion though. My real intention was to try Fedora: that's ok though. I like Ubuntu just as much.
[11:41] <hateball> Guest72621: Windows probably sees a SD card reader or something, that's not really important. What is important it cant read the CD
[11:42] <hateball> Guest72621: So I'd grab a new 14.04 iso, burn that, and try booting anew
[11:42] <hateball> Guest72621: And... if you have another CD on hand, put that in and see if your cd-rom/windows can read anything at all
[11:42] <Guest72621> Ok thanks so much for you help, hateball. I will probably hang around on the channel while this is burning but just not chat.
[11:42] <Guest72621> Ok, thanks!/
[11:45] <lightair> hi! Weird question, but is it possible somehow to see some sort of a preview of an image file in console (command line)?..
[11:46] <lightair> is it possible to view images through console? =)
[11:46] <somedudeonthenet> hi guys and ladies
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> lightair  there's a ascii viewer, i forget the name, tho
[11:47] <lightair> like Lynx for web-sites..
[11:48] <somedudeonthenet> i'm trying the create a customù ubuntu server install, which can be pxe booted, where upon some packages and configuration is done, based on input of the user
[11:48] <DJones> !links2 | lightair
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> somedudeonthenet  #ubuntu-server may be more what you need
[11:49] <somedudeonthenet> k switching channels
[11:50] <vfw> lightair: Why do you need to view images from console mode?
[11:50] <xXPGADMINXx> hi
[11:51] <vfw> lightair: (I don't think that's what cosnloe mode is for.)  GUI=Graphic User Interface
[11:51] <gb1> xterm or plain old console?
[11:51] <vfw> lightair: Why do you need to view images from console mode?  You just want to see if you can?
[11:51] <xXPGADMINXx> Does UBUNTU Support the ATI HD 7400 ?
[11:52] <gb1> lightair: mplayer has an ascii driver (bizarre if you've never watched a video that way).  I'm trying to see if I can view a single image file with it...
[11:53] <yeats> IAmLegend: I think the real question is "Does AMD still provide up-to-date Linux drivers for the ATI HD 7400?" - if not, you're stuck with the radeon driver
[11:53] <hateball> gb1, lightair: there is fbi
[11:54] <somedudeonthenet> seems that ubuntu-server is silent these days
[11:55] <vfw> lightair: I think you can with fim  (not sure, haven't done it yet so...).
[11:55] <vfw> lightair: .... or, I guess, fbi
[11:56] <gb1> lightair: is X running or not?
[11:56] <hateball> lightair: fbi requires a framebuffer tho, don't think it works inside an xterm
[11:56] <gb1> http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/tiv/
[11:57] <gb1> ooo ooo!  jp2a.
[11:58] <gb1> that's just ridiculous.  p.s. I love unix.
[11:58] <hateball> gb1: Suggests it only handles jpg tho
[11:58] <gb1> imagemagick first
[12:04] <lightair> vfw: I don't have X installed, working with a virtual machine that doesn't need GUI... I have a lot of images on the machine and to preview the images I need to download them first on my local computer and then look at them... I want to preview image faster, even just basic shapes...
[12:05] <gb1> the framebuffer's alive without X, right?  That's the point of it, and how we get a penguin logo on bootup...
[12:05] <hateball> Yes, so fbi should work just fine
[12:06] <paulo_> hello
[12:07] <paulo_> can anyone recommend an ubuntu version that uses this kernel: http://www.scip.ch/en/?vuldb.13463
[12:07] <paulo_> i want to try messing with the vuln.
[12:07] <gb1> confirmed - fbi works great.
[12:08] <bekks> paulo_: Then you have to manually install that kernel. When a fix will beb released, it will be published and backported to ubuntu kernels.
[12:10] <paulo_> bekks: ok, thanks
[12:11] <koell> Hey guys, i need to update my zsh to the latest version because of some ugly bug. How do I do an update of zsh to the latest (v5.0.5) on my ubuntu machine?
[12:14] <Guest72621> Hi guys. It's Panther again.
[12:15] <Guest72621> is hateball here?
[12:15] <Guest72621> he seems to be
[12:15] <hateball> Guest72621: He is, but he is also at work
[12:15] <Guest72621> hah ha
[12:16] <Guest72621> It didn't work. Kept booting up windows vista anyway. Damn DVD drive!
[12:16] <lightair> the fbi gives this error: ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument (not a linux console?)
[12:16] <lightair> I'm using PuTTY to connect to ubuntu machine
[12:17] <hateball> lightair: Well that wont work then, an ssh session is not a framebuffer tty
[12:17] <Munster> Guest72621, so making the dvd drive first in the BIOS boot sequence didn't work ?
[12:18] <Guest72621> No.
[12:18] <hateball> Guest72621: And this new CD, can it be read in Windows? Can any other CD?
[12:18] <Guest72621> Nope. I will try something like an audio CD.
[12:19] <lightair> Thanks to all in any case ^_^
[12:24] <Guest72621> I put in an audio CD of classical music. Vista didn't even find the CD.
[12:25] <Guest72621> How do you boot ubuntu up from a USB stick?
[12:25] <Guest72621> (@hateball)\
[12:25] <bekks> Insert the stick, boot it? :)
[12:25] <abhi2> @guest72621 make the pendrive bootable
[12:25] <bcvery> !usb | Guest72621
[12:26] <abhi2> u can use startup disk creater
[12:28] <Guest72621> ok thanks for the link
[12:29] <Guest72621> who keeps changing peoples names!!??!!!
[12:30] <Guest72621> i was supposed to be panther but now i'm guest72621
[12:32] <bekks> Guest72621: you were not registered to that nick, and the real owner registered. so your nick was changed.
[12:32] <Guest72621> oh i get it
[12:33] <guest-uwdQHf> Hi
[12:33] <guest-uwdQHf> Can you speake German?
[12:33] <bcvery> !de | guest-uwdQHf
[12:34] <guest-uwdQHf> Hi
[12:41] <scarface> I was logged in over ssh and was going a big "apt-get install" of a bunch of stuff.  The computer crashed and automatically rebooted itself during the install and I don't know why.  I want to check 1) that the install worked and nothing is corrupted (how can I confirm this?) and 2) review any logs to see what caused the crash (what logs should I check)?
[12:43] <ikonia> scarface: run apt-get -f and see if it complains about anything faiing, apt-get update also, look in the dpkg.log to confirm what got installed, then look at the syslog for a overview of the system
[12:43] <yeats> scarface: try 'sudo apt-get -f install' and check /var/log/syslog or kern.log (if available) for messages
[12:43] <yeats> scarface: what ikonia said ;-)
[12:45] <pc-compta> hi
[12:48] <Guest56959> hello everyone
[12:48]  * Guest56959 jack
[12:48] <scarface> ikonia, yeats: thanks.  Followed your steps.  apt-get doesn't report anything failing and I don't see anything obvious in any of the logs about why the reboot.  All seems well, but I'm uneasy without finding an explanation.
[12:50] <Guest56959> I am new to this channel and to irc as well, can someone guide me on how to do things in irc
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> Guest56959  type words, press enter

[12:58] <MonkeyDust> jacks  keep it in the channel please
[12:59] <jacks> Okay MonkeyDust, just learning things around here
[13:00] <SergeCh> Pici: thanks for the info!
[13:00] <dfcnvt> Both of my background and foreground seem a bit too bright. Here's an example of how bright is it and how bold is it.  http://imgur.com/MlGT0oA
[13:00] <dfcnvt> How do I fix this?
[13:01] <f3lix> Hi! I'm trying to figure out why a tee'd stdout is blocking inside an init script. It seems that if a subprocess exits with something other than zero, tee won't ever return. Anyone know about this behavior?
[13:05] <Beldar> dfcnvt, looks like it should here, is that not what you think?
[13:05] <blinky_> Hi guys, wondering if someone could help a beginner with a suspend question.  I have a HP Mini 311 running xUbuntu 14.04 fresh install.  I have not run the updates or installed any other drivers for the WiFi or Nvidia ION.  Suspend at the moment works great, however, if I run the updates then suspend gets killed and goes into a suspend wake process.  Any ideas why?
[13:07] <anton02> it sucks that ubuntu doesn't have a magnifying glass like windows does
[13:07] <anton02> windows has had it aaaalll the way since XP
[13:07] <Beldar> blinky_, Can you transpose that to relative info and an understandable issue.
[13:09] <bugtraq__> welcome im here
[13:09] <blinky_> Beldar: suspend works now, run apt-get upgrade and suspend doesn't work
[13:09] <bugtraq__> anyone know any secure chat programs, or can xchat be made secure ?
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> bugtraq__  define secure
[13:11] <anton02> what is MonkeyDust made out of?
[13:11] <bugtraq__> just like encrypted ssl or summet so ppl cant see
[13:11] <Munster> what ppl?
[13:12] <bugtraq__> anyone using bugtraq 2 by the way ?
[13:12] <blinky_> bugtraq_: would running the chat program across a secure vpn not be enough?
[13:13] <bugtraq__> suppose, im just getting into these hacking distros at the moment so am wanting stuff to be running smooth lol
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> bugtraq__  what are you afraid of?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> bugtraq__ secure from what?
[13:13] <bugtraq__> well the nsa are watching everything
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> ah nsa
[13:13] <Beldar> blinky_, Read this, https://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc
[13:14] <blinky_> really your going with the NSA as a reason for security?
[13:14] <cfhowlett> bugtraq__ then dont discuss **** or ****
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> bugtraq__  nsa is old news, i'm sure there's a new reason for paranoia
[13:14] <bugtraq__> yeah that right lol
[13:14] <f3lix> bugtraq__: Skype uses encryption, but I'm pretty sure the NSA would still be listening ;)
[13:15] <Munster> to who?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> bugtraq__ and all IRC is publically logged
[13:15] <bugtraq__> yeah they have backdoors to everything
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> !logs > bugtraq__
[13:16] <anton02> what would you get if you put monkey jerky in a coffee grinder?
[13:16] <Munster> why do pll think they're so important that the spooks are listening and watching
[13:16] <cfhowlett> anton02 stop
[13:16] <Pici> bugtraq__: yes, you can make SSL connections to many IRC networks...
[13:17] <blinky_> eldar: That is all well and good, I know that the information I am supplying is vague but I am not able to supply better more detailed information without help.  If I update the OS then I will not be able to suspend anymore and that will lead me to have to re-install again.
[13:17] <blinky_> Beldar: ^ not eldar
[13:18] <bugtraq__> well im starting to learn ssh and all the keys at the moment , also im amazed at wireshark what a tool eh
[13:18] <Beldar> blinky_, All I have asked you to do is clean up your posts, no offer of help, no need to give me info but address the channel. ;)
[13:18] <cfhowlett> !OT|bugtraq__
[13:19] <philip741> I have a question about file descriptors. I have set * soft nofile 8000 in limits.conf. If I do a sudo lsof | wc -l it shows over 9000 should I be hitting the soft limit? Also should it be logging that someplace?
[13:19] <bugtraq__> yeah ok, ubuntu is the main platform for most pentest distros anyway , must admit i love messing around with linux, later lads
[13:20] <blinky_> Ok different question, I have read online of someone having the same issue and that person believes it is down to the updated kernel.  How do I update the system and keep the same kernel to test if this is the case?
[13:21] <Beldar> blinky_, kernels are not removed unless you do it, there in the grub menu.
[13:21] <cfhowlett> blinky_ boot an old kernel and tesr
[13:21] <cfhowlett> test
[13:21] <philip741> If I do something like sudo cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr I get around 5000 or so. I am curious if limits pulls from that or if it is from all open file handles.
[13:21] <blinky_> this is just an option in the boot menu yes?
[13:22] <Beldar> blinky_ Your better with the broken to work on rather than where you are now in this case, it is not a critical break, you still have everything but the suspend and a desktop to work on.
[13:22] <cfhowlett> blinky_ in grub
[13:23] <blinky_> I am running the upgrade now
[13:27] <fellayaboy> hey i have a usb flash thats totally write protected. i tried everything..i even used dariks nuke and boot.  i've used disk management, windows install disc, gparted, run all as administrator and booted into discs. but yet this thing is totally write protected.. this usb flash has NO hardware switch on it so how the hell do i rewrite this thing???
[13:27] <fellayaboy> i even used sudo dd but yet it stays write protected
[13:29] <ikonia> fellayaboy: it either has hardware protection, or has no more writes left on it
[13:29] <ikonia> assuming what you say is correct
[13:30] <fellayaboy> i see no hardware switch on the usb whatsoever.  it has no more writes as in what ikonia
[13:31] <f3lix> fellayaboy: can you dd directly to the block device?
[13:31] <fellayaboy> no it says its write protected f3lix
[13:32] <f3lix> sounds like it might be broken then?
[13:32] <fellayaboy> says its read only
[13:32] <fellayaboy> wow never seen a flash drive break on me before. didnt know that they did
[13:33] <fellayaboy> no other tests can be performed to see if its a physical problem?
[13:33] <f3lix> it may also be broken if you did some low-level wiping… I had one once that died after I dd'ed zeroes all over it.
[13:33] <fellayaboy> thats right f3lix thats what i did...i used shred and dd on it
[13:33] <f3lix> probably, but none that I know of, sorry :)
[13:33] <Beldar> fellayaboy, What partition type?
[13:34] <fellayaboy> ntfs i believe
[13:34] <f3lix> I once did something to a hitachi harddrive once, I had to use their low-level format tool in dos to get it back to normal
[13:34] <fellayaboy> wowzers
[13:34] <fellayaboy> ok let me see if kingston has something like that
[13:34] <f3lix> might be the same thing. If the vendor has a tool for it, perhaps?
[13:34] <f3lix> Good that it's Kingston, they're not a crap company :)
[13:34] <fellayaboy> perhaps let me go check
[13:35] <Beldar> fellayaboy, You said you ran dariks, that wipes it you would have had to make a partition table and partition what did you make.
[13:35] <fellayaboy> Beldar, the thing came up as ??? question marks. i wasnt able to get too far
[13:37] <Beldar> fellayaboy, auto mounts as ???? after running a wipe?
[13:37] <fellayaboy> before running a wipe
[13:37] <fellayaboy> couldnt choose it
[13:38] <Beldar> fellayaboy, Does it show in gparted, can you make a partition table and a partition, post the darik's?
[13:38] <fellayaboy> it will show in gparted. but when i click apply after i do all that. it says its write protected
[13:38] <fellayaboy> or says i cant because its read only
[13:39] <icesword> HELLO
[13:39] <Beldar> fellayaboy, Ah, thanks just confirming a ext type partition will be a read only unless made rw, just making sure you have done the right testing and know what ti do.
[13:40] <icesword> beldar, hello
[13:40] <OerHeks> fellayaboy, what is the usb brand ? is it an U3 device?
[13:40] <fellayaboy> its a kingston datatraveler usb 3.0
[13:41] <Beldar> icesword, Do you have a support issue for the channel?
[13:41] <icesword> bazhang, HELLO motherfucker , i m talking in #wrongplanet , would you like to suck dick in there to fuck me too?
[13:41] <icesword> bazhang, HELLO motherfucker , i m talking in #wrongplanet , would you like to suck dick in there to fuck me too?
[13:41] <icesword> bazhang, HELLO motherfucker , i m talking in #wrongplanet , would you like to suck dick in there to fuck me too?
[13:41] <icesword> bazhang, HELLO motherfucker , i m talking in #wrongplanet , would you like to suck dick in there to fuck me too?
[13:41] <Beldar> I would take that as a no, lol
[13:42] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys i have a problem i am using xubuntu 12.04 and my computer keeps freezing completely, as in i cannot get into tty, or the terminal or anything, the mouse does not work and using ALT+SysRq + REISUB does not work! Now the issue is also that the computer cold resets, so the logs are empty, is there something i can do to fix this issue, i was told to reformat
[13:42] <Psil0Cybin> but i really do not want to do this
[13:42] <Psil0Cybin> could it be because i have grub ocnfigs set to ascpi_os=Linux
[13:43] <Psil0Cybin> or what ever, it would be...could that effect something as much as resetting the computer? or freezing it
[13:43] <ikonia> Psil0Cybin: sounds like a hardware problem if it's resetting
[13:43] <Psil0Cybin> ikonia, i did a memory test and everything is a okay.
[13:43] <Psil0Cybin> what would be my next step?
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> Psil0Cybin  only xubuntu? have you tried lubuntu to know the difference?
[13:43] <Psil0Cybin> no i have not done that yet. I am only using xubuntu on my desktop at the moment as I really like xfce4.
[13:44] <ikonia> Psil0Cybin: there is more hardware than just memory
[13:44] <ikonia> why would you try lubuntu
[13:44] <ikonia> it's the same base components with a different desktop
[13:44] <philinux> Psil0Cybin;~ is this after a few minutes or siminlar time
[13:44] <ikonia> desktop enviornment is very unlikley to make a hardware device reset.
[13:45] <lord4163> Do I have to edit the unattended-upgrades config? Or are the defaults ok? "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security"; ?
[13:46] <f3lix> Psil0Cybin: Usually when that has happened to me it has been due to APCI. Try booting with kernel options "acpi=off, noapci, nolapic"
[13:46] <wheatthin> Psil0Cybin, I'd check your temps before you go into troubleshooting any further
[13:47] <Psil0Cybin> f3lix, really?! so something that simple could cause these issues? also ikonia i really do not want to switch desktops but do you think this could be the issue? or just perhaps something went wrong during install...I will try to check temps before i go troubleshooting futher and i will try changing acpi=off and changing those settings to see results..
[13:47] <Psil0Cybin> philinux, it happens randomly, sometimes when  iam doing coding on android studio
[13:47] <Psil0Cybin> sometimes when i am just on IRC and on a browser...
[13:47] <Psil0Cybin> randomly, i cannot pinpoint specific times.
[13:48] <f3lix> Psil0Cybin: It could — it depends on the hardware and the kernel version. It's worth a try, anyway ;)
[13:48] <ikonia> Psil0Cybin: I find it very hard to suggest a desktop environment would cause a hardware reset
[13:48] <Psil0Cybin> thus it mind boggles me but i will try to change acpi settings and check temps, what would be the best way to check temps?
[13:48] <wheatthin> Psil0Cybin, check your temps?
[13:48] <Psil0Cybin> f3lix, of course
[13:48] <Dave77> how do I get a patch made to kaffeine software?
[13:49] <wheatthin> Psil0Cybin, install lm-sensors
[13:49] <wheatthin> and then type "sensors" in the terminal
[13:49] <philinux> Psil0Cybin;~ after installing lm-sensors you need to run sensors-detect
[13:49] <wheatthin> if the temps are unveven on a multi-core system, I'd start there with reseating the heatsync and the lot
[13:50] <Psil0Cybin> perfect thank you so much guys!! aAlthough I think this computer handles heat much better then all my other laptops, it could still be hot without me realizing it correct?
[13:50] <philinux> Psil0Cybin;~ open case and clean fan
[13:50] <wheatthin> yuop
[13:50] <Psil0Cybin> thank you so much guys!
[13:50] <blinky_> Ok guys the I have updated the OS and suspend works well and recovers using the previous kernel 3.13.0-24.  How do I now set that kernel to be the default kernel used?  Also could someone please tell me how to get the wifi to auto start and connect on boot?
[13:50] <Psil0Cybin> i will try all of the above and get back to you soon
[13:50] <Psil0Cybin> thanks for the support!!
[13:51] <Dave77> can somebody recommend software for testing regex on ubuntu?
[13:52] <f3lix> Dave77:  There are some pretty good online ones, like regexr.com
[13:54] <qwebirc110269> hi guys and ladies how do i make a unattend install of linux server that can be pxe booted?
[13:54] <cfhowlett> !server| qwebirc110269
[13:54] <f3lix> Anyone know if you can forcefully "echo" an EOF in a bash shell?
[13:55] <qwebirc110269> long live irc bots
[13:55] <ikonia> qwebirc110269: you've already asked this and had it explained to you earlier when you used the nickname somedudeonthenet
[13:55] <r3volver> f3lix: echo -e "\0"
[13:57] <f3lix> r3volver:	thanks :) didn't solve my problem though :/ You don't happen to be an expert with tee, do you?
[13:58] <r3volver> f3lix: ure welcome =D  not an expert =(
[13:59] <f3lix> Too bad :) Have the most annoying problem with nested tees :)
[14:10] <Dave77> how do I get a DVB TV USB stick to work in linux if it is not detected?
[14:12] <forgottenarcher> hey guys, I'm installing an Oxford dictionary  from a CD , and although the installation went fine, when I try and run it, it outputs the following:  rror while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so
[14:12] <forgottenarcher> I'm gonna try and download the lib and mv it to /usr/lib, would that fix it ?
[14:12] <bekks> Dave77: First you need to know which chipset the DVBT USB stick is using.
[14:12] <blinky_> Could someone tell me how to get the wifi to be enable and connect as default on boot please.  At the moment the networking is enabled on boot but not the wifi.  xUbuntu 14.04
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> forgottenarcher: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[14:13] <Dave77> bekks: do I have to open the physical hardware to find out?
[14:13] <bekks> Dave77: No, you dont. Plug the stick in, and after about 10s, pastebin "sudo lsusb" please
[14:13] <Dave77> ah
[14:14] <Dave77> it says: 1b80 d3ac afatech
[14:15] <bekks> Dave77: Now, having the USB ID, you have to look up wether that device is support at all, and if it is, using which driver. Best bet at that point is linuxtv.org
[14:18] <blinky_> Any ideas?  I can connect if I go the the tray icon and enable wireless, it also works when coming out of suspend, just isnt enabled on boot.
[14:20] <Glorfindel-gone> What does this mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7711379/
[14:20] <CREEEPEREXPLOSIV> hello
[14:21] <Dave77> bekks: ID not listed.. close numbers but not the same, so I have to buy another USB stick....
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> blinky_: tried restarting the network-manager service?
[14:21] <CREEEPEREXPLOSIV> gabrielaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Glorfindel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1160569
[14:22] <blinky_> I have rebooted several times and re-installed twice if that is close, as for restarting, dont know how sorry
[14:23] <Glorfindel> ActionParsnip: this was with Thunderbird. Is it the same thing though?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Glorfindel: how long did that take me to find?
[14:24] <Glorfindel> two minutes
[14:25] <blinky_> how can i tell how long the wireless connection has been made for?

[14:45] <dalkeehon> hi, can anyone tell me how to enable overlay-scrollbar?
[14:46]  * waverwaver nap
[14:48] <erry> so i have a weird problem... I have a lubuntu livecd, and while i have the correct timezone set, it thinks it's an hour later than it should be?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> erry: are you uk based?
[14:48] <shuvojit> @erry  there is a command maybe to fix it
[14:48] <Beldar> erry, Is the set time zone one that does not follow daylight savings...etc
[14:49] <erry> ActionParsnip, yes
[14:49] <erry> Beldar, no
[14:49] <erry> i set it to BST.. it think sit's 16:49 BST
[14:49] <erry> it's only 15:49 BST
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> erry: its BST now, not GMT
[14:49] <erry> if i set it to UTC, it thinks it's 15:49 utc..
[14:49] <shuvojit> try this : sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[14:49] <erry> shuvojit, socket already in use
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> erry: it is 15:49...
[14:50] <shuvojit> ok !
[14:50] <shuvojit> do you have ntp installed ?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> shuvojit: npt client is in a default install
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> *ntp
[14:51] <shuvojit> i know .. but sometimes the time does not gets synced and you have to manually install it .. happened to me
[14:51] <erry> ActionParsnip, ... i know it's 15:49
[14:52] <erry> i'm trying to get this laptop to know this
[14:52] <erry> :D
[14:52] <erry> it's on the right timezone, but somehow has the wrong time
[14:52] <erry> (hardware clock wrong?)
[14:52] <shuvojit> mine was also the same .. right time zone , wrong time
[14:52] <shuvojit> try installing ntp again
[14:52] <Glorfindel> did you check the bios time?
[14:53] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:53] <blinky_> guys how can I find out how long the current wifi connection has been established?
[14:53] <cristian_c> I've a doubt regarding this wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[14:54] <cristian_c> 'Using vga_switcheroo'
[14:54] <cristian_c> what command is needed to disable the discrete graphics?
[14:55] <cristian_c> The page is not clear
[14:55] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[14:55] <Beldar> cristian_c, Can you orientate to single posts and not use the enter so much?
[14:56] <cristian_c> Beldar, I've added the info going on
[14:56] <cristian_c> but the question now is done
[14:57] <cristian_c> Anyway, does someone know the answer?
[14:57] <Beldar> cristian_c, Yes that is obvious, but it makes your info convoluted and if the channel going faster as it does at times it would be more dispersed, we ask you to in general post all in one post.
[14:57] <Vyse007> Beldar is right, you need to structure your question a bit better.
[14:58] <Beldar> cristian_c, And just ignoring a simple request with an attitude just alienates you further.
[14:58] <cristian_c> Vyse007, in what manner can I structure this question better?
[14:58] <cristian_c> Beldar, ?
[14:59] <blinky_> guys how can I find out how long the current wifi connection has been established?
[15:00] <Vyse007> Well, you have to give us all the info you can at once in a coherent fashion, because the channel moves along fast, and if you disperse your problem across messages much of it will be lost
[15:00] <Glorfindel> blinky_: one moment
[15:01] <cristian_c> Vyse007, but he has said to restrict the text in a line, but channel is faster anyway without too
[15:02] <cristian_c> *without it
[15:03] <Vyse007> cristian_c: Nevermind that now. What exactly was your problem? I can't even seem to find it...
[15:04] <cristian_c> Vyse007, ok, you are right, this is a support channel :)
[15:05] <cristian_c> Vyse007, two amd gpus in a hp laptop, both active. It needs to disable the discrete to reduce the temperature
[15:05] <cristian_c> *discrete gpu
[15:06] <Vyse007> cristian_c: One of them is the discrete one, and you need to disable it to reduce the temperature of the CPU?
[15:06] <jbarket> Question. I have a 12.04 box that's using smbfs to connect a Windows share and authenticate via an ldap user. I migrated the exact same line from fstab, same smbcredientials et cetera to a fresh 14.04 box, installed cifs-utils since smbfs doesn't exist anymore, and it's telling me my password is wrong. Clearly it works because it's the same as the other machine. Do I need to specify something to cifs to tell it to login with the right kind of
[15:06] <jbarket>  security or something?
[15:06] <jbarket> Or is there another piece I could have forgotten to install to get this working?
[15:07] <cristian_c> Vyse007, this is the problem. In the wiki page there is a section , named Using vga_switcheroo, but it's not clear on what command to type for obtaining it
[15:07] <cristian_c> *about
[15:08] <Vyse007> cristian_c: This page helped me when I was dealing with the same thing. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[15:09] <Glorfindel> blinky_: I don't know if you can, is it really important to be able to?
[15:10] <blinky_> trying to find out if my connection is dropping from time to time
[15:11] <Glorfindel> use System Moniter
[15:11] <hakan_> HELLO
[15:12] <blinky_> I have task manager but cant find system monitor
[15:12] <Glorfindel> It shows your internet usage on a graph. Under resources there is Network Usage
[15:12] <bcvery> hakan_: Hi, no need for the caps, please ask your support question
[15:12] <hakan_> yes, defrag on ubuntu ?
[15:12] <Glorfindel> you have 14.04 right?
[15:12] <Beldar> hakan_, Nope.
[15:13] <bcvery> !defrag | hakan_, not needed
[15:13] <hakan_> ok ty
[15:13] <blinky_> yeah xubuntu
[15:13] <Glorfindel> oh
[15:13] <Glorfindel> you may want to ask on #xubuntu then
[15:14] <hakan_> also, does ubuntu get clogged up with system files and log whioch sl[ow it down ?
[15:14] <Vyse007> I love telling everybody how ext4 doesn't need defragmentation...
[15:14] <blinky_> ok cheers will have an ask
[15:15] <cristian_c> Vyse007, it's the wiki page I've linked before
[15:15] <cristian_c> lol
[15:15] <hakan_> does anyone find that doing updates continuosly slow the OS down eventually?
[15:15] <Beldar> hakan_, Not in the same way a MS system does, which seems to be your base reference.
[15:16]  * Glorfindel decides not to start an argument over it
[15:16] <bcvery> hakan_, are you experiencing slowness on your machine?  Are you using an SSD (you may need to set up TRIM)?
[15:17] <Beldar> hakan_, 94% of the fastest super computers run linux or unix, what does that tell you?
[15:17] <hakan_> says a lot i guess
[15:17] <Vyse007> cristian_c: If you are using the open-source driver, then I don't see how the wiki page is unhelpful. Which step are you stuck on?
[15:17] <hakan_> just a little slowness when i first installed it, especially starting up takes a few seconds longer
[15:18] <cristian_c> Vyse007, yes, open driver, radeon for integrate and discrete
[15:18] <hakan_> @ bcveryhow do i set up TRIM
[15:18] <bcvery> !trim
[15:18] <cristian_c> Vyse007, how I've explained, I don't know what command is needed for disabling the discrete gpu
[15:18] <cristian_c> :)
[15:19] <Beldar> hakan_, In a single day you have 86,400 seconds, you do the math on a few seconds if you rebooted everyday over a lifetime.
[15:20] <Vyse007> cristian_c: If your kernel was compiled with the vga_switcheroo option, then the commands in the "Using vga_switcheroo" option are the ones you need to use
[15:21] <Vooloo> I have some weird permission problems... I used sudo chown myuser:myuser -R dir/ but when I do "ls -al" I get a bunch of question marks everywhere?
[15:22] <cristian_c> Vyse007, yes, the switch is present, but it's not clear what of those command is occurred to type to obtain the result
[15:23] <Vyse007> cristian_c: echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[15:26] <AnonLucifer> yo!
[15:26] <AnonLucifer> what's cracking?
[15:27] <cristian_c> Vyse007, :O
[15:27] <cristian_c> Vyse007, but does ON disables something?
[15:27] <cristian_c> I thought OFF
[15:27] <cristian_c> *disable
[15:28] <cristian_c> Turns on the GPU that is disconnected (not currently driving outputs), but does not switch outputs.
[15:28] <cristian_c> Vyse007, there it says gpu is turned on, not turned off
[15:29] <scri66le> anyone know how to backup my 'connect to server' list in nautilus?
[15:29] <Vyse007> cristian_c: Well that depends on which one are you currently using. So either switch OFF the one which is disconnected (if you are using the correct one), or switch ON the one you want to use.
[15:29] <iamaway> "‘This is a demonstration of ubuntu , a show of humanity to other people,’ says Mdlulwa."
[15:29] <cristian_c> Vyse007, no no, both are active
[15:29] <cristian_c> Vyse007, this is the problem and the cause of overheating
[15:29] <Vyse007> cristian_c: They substitute ON with OFF in the same command
[15:29] <cristian_c> two gpu working in the same time
[15:30] <Vyse007> *then
[15:30] <cristian_c> Vyse007, ah, ok
[15:31] <cristian_c> Vyse007, but this is confusing, this command doesn't explain what gpu of the two
[15:31] <cristian_c> Vyse007, this wiki page is very complicated,, and it doesn't explain very well to the user what to do
[15:31] <cristian_c> :(
[15:32] <Vyse007> cristian_c: How is it confusing? You are using only one of the two GPUs right now. Even if they both are ON, only one of them is being used to drive the output. So this command will just switch OFF the one that is not driving any output.
[15:32] <cristian_c> Vyse007, no
[15:32] <cristian_c> Vyse007, at the moment, the system uses two gpus, not one
[15:32] <cristian_c> *not only one
[15:32] <Vyse007> cristian_c: They both are ON, and which one is driving your display?
[15:33] <cristian_c> Vyse007, I don't know which :) When it's typed: lspci -k, driver in use: radeon it's present in both the entries :)
[15:34] <cristian_c> Vyse007, how can I know which gpu drives the display? :)
[15:36] <f3lix1> Can someone explain to me how I can truly detach a subshell/process/script from the bash script I launch it in?
[15:37] <Vyse007> cristian_c: what does this command give you? lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
[15:37] <inki> re
[15:39] <cristian_c> Vyse007, the pc is not mine
[15:39] <inki> I have a headless server (Acer h340) I want to install 14.04 on, so I put its harddisk into another box and installed 14.04 on it. Then I put the harddisk back into the h340, but it wouldn't get network
[15:39] <Vyse007> cristian_c: you can still type commands and evaluate the output, right?
[15:39] <cristian_c> Vyse007, I helped a user in irc, and I've asked to the locoteam wiki group
[15:39] <inki> I remembered that you had to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-something if you move a harddisk, but this doesn't exist in 14.04 anymore
[15:40] <cristian_c> Vyse007, surely, I can ask him to type the command you have suggested, I thank you
[15:40] <ikonia> inki: thats never been the case
[15:40] <Vyse007> cristian_c: Anyway, this command will tell us what GPU is presently being used. So then the OFF command will simply turn OFF the one which isn't in use.
[15:40] <OerHeks> cristian_c, first switch to discrete GPU > echo DIS ~etc~ # then turn off integrated > echo OFF ~etc~  # then use cat~etc~ to check status
[15:41] <cristian_c> Vyse007, I asked them, regarding the localized wiki page (that is the translation of the english wiki page), but they don't know, so I've asked here
[15:41] <cristian_c> :)
[15:41] <inki> ikonia: I'm pretty sure it was
[15:41] <ikonia> I'm certain it's never been the case
[15:41] <OerHeks> where ~etc~ = /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[15:41] <cristian_c> OerHeks, ok, but cat ...
[15:41] <cristian_c> ah, ok
[15:42] <cristian_c> ok, this channel is logged, so I can retrieve the suggestions :)
[15:42] <scri66le> anyone know how to backup my 'connect to server' list in nautilus?
[15:43] <Glorfindel> scri66le: nope
[15:43] <cristian_c> Vyse007, the problem is both the gpus use the radeon driver at the same time (lspci -k, or lspci -nnk), the temperature with these active is 90°C
[15:43] <cristian_c> too hot
[15:44] <scri66le> Glorfindel, why not?
[15:45] <Vyse007> cristian_c: Well, all the commands you need are listed on the wiki page, hope that helps,
[15:45] <Glorfindel> why doesn't anyone know?
[15:46] <Glorfindel> IDK, I just don't know. Someone else might though
[15:46] <cristian_c> Vyse007, yes, I had only the need of to be explained
[15:46] <cristian_c> what to do :)
[15:47] <cristian_c> to obtain the result
[15:47] <Vyse007> cristian_c: Let us know if you need more help.
[15:47] <cristian_c> Vyse007, no, I thanks you. Is this channel logged?
[15:47] <Glorfindel> yup
[15:47] <cristian_c> ok, thanks

[16:17] <luist_> can i use ubuntu without unity??? i like the old interface better, plus it used to work better than this Mac OS wannabe
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> luist_  these DE's are also popular http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg
[16:18] <SchrodingersScat> luist_: there are several options, lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc. etc. etc.
[16:19] <Vyse007> luist_: You have several options, and if you want the old interface, I suggest you try XFCE or MATE.
[16:19] <luist_> Vyse007, i currently use XFCE on my VM.. but i wanna know if theres a way to use the old gnome interface... i like it better
[16:20] <Vyse007> luist_: Try MATE then. It's the same as GNOME 2.
[16:20] <Vyse007> I personally don't use a DE anymore, but I tried MATE a long time back and it seemed good.
[16:21] <luist_> Vyse007, is there something like Mubuntu with mate or i have to install it manually?
[16:21] <Vyse007> luist_: sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment
[16:22] <luist_> Vyse007, hmm okay... ill just install regular ubuntu and install that right after
[16:22] <luist_> Vyse007, thanks
[16:22] <Vyse007> luist_: No problem. You're welcome. Let us know if you need any help.

[16:45] <mikeg3> Hi I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 alongside Vista on this machine, but I cannot boot to Ubuntu.  The installer has a fatal error when installing GRUB.   What should I do to fix this?
[16:45] <zzuegg> having a apache2.conf file like: http://pastebin.com/M1A3jWDK and the directory WebDev contains mainfelt/Web, calling localhost/mainfelt/Web should work i guess?
[16:47] <behrooz> i want compile vdr on ubuntu 14.04 , vdr need install package freetype2 . i can't find this package on ubuntu 14.04 .why ?

[16:56] <mmiller13> Does anyone know a channel that deals with raid and raid recovery
[16:56] <jpds> mmiller13: If you're a business, that would be a professional disk forensics service.
[16:56] <Glorfindel> #raid ? I don't know
[16:56] <Glorfindel> nope not #raid
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> Glorfindel  some 40 people in #linux-raid
[16:58] <Glorfindel> ah
[16:58] <Glorfindel> go there then :P. there was nobody in #raid
[16:59] <mmiller13> So if I were a business, I'm in the wrong place?
[17:01] <mmiller13> wtf!!! who the fucktart is in #raid
[17:01] <Pici> mmiller13: Please mind the language and attitude here.
[17:03] <OerHeks> mmiller13, all i find is #linux-raid
[17:03] <zzuegg> if apache returns 403, does that mean i as user have not the neccesary permissions, or could that also mean apache itself does not have the permissions to access that folder?

[17:37] <Beldar> GEEMac, "chaging resolution by itself while not touching the system?" Can you define this?
[17:38] <DarthEaron> code12: now that is something i have  always wanted to get into. never had the time honestly.
[17:38] <GEEMac> I usually spend more then 24 hours looking online for an answer via Google and the forums.  If no answer then I hit the IRCs.  This way I don't wast people's time.

[17:40] <championofcyrodi> anybody have suggestions on maintaining updates for client PCs?  I have ~60 employees running 14.04 LTS.  I have access to all the PCs via SSH as the admin account, the employees are being authenticated via ldap/sssd....  ksplice looks like a good option, but I have never used it.
[17:40] <ki7mt> FreDings, You should write the logging into the script itself.
[17:40] <tore__> ma...sono connesso?
[17:41] <Beldar> tore__ English here please.
[17:41] <DarthEaron> ... i might be kinda dumb here...is ubottu a human?
[17:41] <ki7mt> No
[17:41] <DarthEaron> LMFAO! i messed up on that one. i was starting to argue with it earlier
[17:42] <tore__> y am very sorry y do not speack english
[17:42] <FreDings> @ki7mt I see thanks, in addition, for pathing, is it safe to say I can start with /var ? I don't believe theres anything before that
[17:42] <ki7mt> It's coded by humans, but would be a rather one sided debate for sure .. lol
[17:42] <Beldar> tore__, What is your closest common language, galacian is a bit unusual.
[17:43] <DarthEaron> ki7mt: hahaha, yeah i guess.
[17:43] <GEEMac> KI7MT..  Greg?  de N2BRG,  Gary
[17:43] <ki7mt> FreDings, Absolute paths are just that, absolute, so if that's the path, that's what you use.

[17:45] <shutyaev> hi guys. how can i add a keyboard layout indicator to the top panel in ubuntustudio 14.04 ?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> MeXTuX: you can add bash aliases in ~/.bashrc then run: source ~/.bashrc ,to apply
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> shutyaev  there's also #ubuntu-studio
[17:46] <reborn> anyone know AMD Drivers update? if so, please links
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> MeXTuX: you don't have to reboot to apply an alias
[17:46] <championofcyrodi> Anyone?  Looking for an easy way to maintain updated packages remotely on client machines....
[17:46] <championofcyrodi> maybe ksplice?  any other thoughts?
[17:46] <juniour> reborn got amd website you will find the driver
[17:47] <ki7mt> shutyaev, with a good bit of coding, probab best to ask that in #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-devel something along those lines.
[17:47] <Beldar> reborn, You would get any through the ubuntu repos, do you have a more actual issue question?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Reborn: if you install them via the packages in the repos they will update like every other package
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> championofcyrodi  start from the beginning, what have you tried so far
[17:47] <shutyaev> MonkeyDust, thanks i'll try there too
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> championofcyrodi: puppet
[17:47] <championofcyrodi> MonkeyDust: I have not tried anything so far.  The only thing I have considered is a bash script to use ssh and execute apt-get upgrade remotely on all PCs in the network.   Or install ksplice
[17:48] <GEEMac> Apparently no one has seen my issue with this fresh install of Trusty 14.01 64Bit.  Seems I get stuck with the od and unexplained issues.  lol
[17:48] <ecdhe> If I know the name of a package in the ubuntu repos, how can I find its post-install script?
[17:48] <Beldar> GEEMac, I addressed you.
[17:48] <championofcyrodi> I was hoping someone here has already solved this problem, and was looking for some lessons learned.
[17:48] <trism> ecdhe: /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postinst
[17:48] <GEEMac> Beldar  Sorry I missed that
[17:48] <Beldar> Beldar> GEEMac, "chaging resolution by itself while not touching the system?" Can you define this?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> championofcyrodi: if you have lots of Ubuntu systems it may help to run a LAN basef update server rather than every box going online for updates
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> championofcyrodi: a bit like WSUS
[17:48] <ecdhe> thanks trism!
[17:49] <championofcyrodi> ActionParsnip: Nice, I've used WSUS before...
[17:49] <reborn> okay, i got it, thanks.
[17:49] <ActionParsnip>  championofcyrodi you can even do it with ssh if you use SSH keys. Quick and dirty.
[17:49] <championofcyrodi> ActionParsnip: that sounds like what I'm looking for... our 1Gbps LAN will allow updates much faster than everyone hitting the default gateway going outbound...
[17:50] <ki7mt> I use deb-mirror, takes allot of space for the full distro, but, it's fast
[17:50] <reborn> so i need a command for flash plugin.

[17:51] <googlesky> some ppa not support 14.04. How I install software in that ppa? thanks :D
[17:51] <djones123> hi, any hints for 'server certificate verification failed' on apt-get update on a brand new 14.04 install?
[17:51] <GEEMac> After the usual boot up to the desktop Things are fine for a bit then all of a sudden the screen flashes to the log in screen which then I have to log in then the screen res changes from 1920x1080 to 1280 x720.  It sometimes does that when opening or closing a program.  xrandr --size 1920x1080 fixes it and all is good after that
[17:52] <Beldar> reborn, The restricted-extras provide flash and other codeces
[17:52] <reborn> thanks.
[17:52] <Beldar> codecs*
[17:52] <ActionParsnip2> championofcyrodi: using SSH you would need to configure sudo to not need password entry for apt-get but you can set it for one account only
[17:52] <Beldar> !ppa > googlesky
[17:52] <ActionParsnip2> GEEMac: test RAM using Memtest86 from Grub as a starting point
[17:52] <GEEMac> Did
[17:53] <ActionParsnip2> Djones123: have you tried a different server?
[17:53] <codephobic> hi
[17:53] <GEEMac> that already as a test for sysytem. This issue only started after I switch
[17:53] <Beldar> GEEMac, Are you setting that resolution permanent with xrandr
[17:53] <championofcyrodi> ActionParsnip2, that sounds reasonable.  I guess I'm going to look into setting up an apt repo on the LAN, then add the repo to the clients... and I guess set the LAN repo as the target for apt-get ??
[17:54] <googlesky> thanks Beldar
[17:54] <ActionParsnip2> GEEMac: if you make a fresh Ubuntu user and log in as that is it ok?
[17:54] <GEEMac> switched ( reinstalled) 14.10 64bit from 32 bit
[17:54] <Beldar> np googlesky
[17:54] <ActionParsnip2> GEEMac: have you tried a different session like XFCE etc?
[17:54] <championofcyrodi> then using ssh private keys, w/ sudoers NOPASSWD apt-get for the admin account, I should be able to kick off updates remotely.
[17:54] <Beldar> !14.10 > GEEMac
[17:54] <ki7mt> championofcyrodi, all ya need is the mirroring script, then simple apache server
[17:54] <GEEMac> This is a new install.
[17:54] <codephobic> having a strange audio problem with a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 on an intel z97 chipset machine. been googling for a solution, not found anything other than kernel muckery (which I'll probably screw-up)... Anyone help?
[17:55] <Beldar> GEEMac, my bad seems you are on 14.04.
[17:55] <codephobic> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421 << potential, kernel modification-based, solution
[17:55] <championofcyrodi> ki7mt, mirroring script?  I've set up apache a bunch of times, but not as a repo mirror
[17:55] <ActionParsnip2> championofcyrodi: yes then you won't labour your web connection. You can cron a job as root to get the update server to pull down new packages out of hours
[17:55] <championofcyrodi> ActionParsnip2: sounds good.
[17:56] <ki7mt> championofcyrodi, apache serves the data obviously, but you need something to performs the updates from the Ubuntu mirror. for example, I use Debmirror for that.
[17:57] <championofcyrodi> ki7mt: thanks, I'll do some reading on debmirror and see what I can do.
[17:57] <championofcyrodi> ki7mt, ActionParsnip2, thanks for your help.
[17:57] <ki7mt> championofcyrodi, then simple ln -s the mirror folder to /var/www/ubuntu and update my apt-lists to point to the IP address of the mirror server, done.
[17:57] <GEEMac> Beldar can you PM me
[17:57] <googlesky> some ppa not support 14.04. How I install software in ppa don't support 14.04?  thanks :D
[17:57] <codephobic> so, no solutions/workarounds yet?
[17:57] <championofcyrodi> ki7mt, sounds simple ;)
[17:57] <ActionParsnip2> codephobic: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[17:57] <googlesky> that ppa support 13.10 but don't support 14.04
[17:58] <ki7mt> championofcyrodi, It is, very simple, bare in mind, it's about 60GB for each arch on trusty.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip2> googlesky: you'll need a different ppa or contact the maintenaner to see if they will support your release
[17:58] <championofcyrodi> ki7mt: that seems reasonable.  I have ~1 TB available
[17:58] <ActionParsnip2> codephobic: a little patience goes a long way
[17:58] <ki7mt> championofcyrodi, You good to go then
[17:59] <codephobic> ActionParsnip2, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6b9d3d24526efc720ddd6c54f6e3f96130042a3e << just uploaded it

[18:15] <streamofthot> When the lid is closed -> Suspend, both in battery and AC mode
[18:16] <Beldar> streamofthot, The base of my question is to wake up hit a key, hit the power button...etc
[18:17] <ki7mt> Gabi-, there's so many ways to to that its mind boggling, here's a quick script to gen numbers, just Pre-Pend your "B" to it, and maybe add tr [[:lower:]] [[:upper:]] if you want all Upercase VARS's.

[18:24] <fAz4> would someone native with english language tell me what does "notice period" means, i have to answer it on my job offer.
[18:24] <mikeg3> Hi, I am having problems installing Ubuntu alongside Vista.  The install completes 99%, then  grub will quit.  What is the easiest way to troubleshoot this?  I tried (by a Vista install disk) to make the Ubuntu partition active and failed.
[18:24] <SchrodingersScat> YokoBR: then you probably need to set nginx so it uses that port
[18:24] <english_nick> how long you need to be able to quite a job fAz4
[18:24] <english_nick> fAz4, and WHY are you asking that here if i may ask? :)
[18:24] <OerHeks> lsof -i :20000
[18:24] <ki7mt> fAz4, When you leave a position, normally the time you give before doing so, like 2 weeks, 4 weeks etc.
[18:25] <fAz4> english_nick: because we are community :)
[18:25] <english_nick> fair enough :)
[18:25] <english_nick> fAz4, what kind of job are you getting?
[18:25] <Beldar> mikeg3, Grub will quit means?
[18:25] <fAz4> it means the date that i can join them ?
[18:25] <fAz4> english_nick: Java Developer
[18:25] <english_nick> pretty much fAz4
[18:25] <SchrodingersScat> !ot | english_nick, fAz4
[18:25] <english_nick> heh heh i knew it was coming mate. which was why i asked :)
[18:26] <fAz4> english_nick: thank you for your help
[18:26] <mikeg3> GRUB quitting means GRUB has a fatal error
[18:26] <ki7mt> Probably could have gotten away with one question, but 2 or 3 gonna get Dinged :-)
[18:26] <english_nick> yup
[18:26] <Beldar> !bootinfo | mikeg3
[18:26] <english_nick> and for good reason
[18:27] <Beldar> mikeg3, Preface with nicks in answering here, run that script.
[18:27] <Beldar> mikeg3, Assuming you have ubuntu installed but with this error.
[18:29] <ki7mt> Gabi-, post in the channel please
[18:29] <Gabi-> ok
[18:29] <Gabi-> i need for my car number plates suggestions
[18:30] <ki7mt> Gabi-, your probably want #ubuntu-offtopic for that then, this channel is for support.
[18:30] <mikeg3> Beldar, I am a Linux noob.  Run the bootinfo script via the live CD?
[18:30] <Gabi-> like B100OOD or B111ONE or B666SIX sort of suggestions B666XXX
[18:30] <OerHeks> Gabi-, wrong channel dude, read the topic
[18:30] <Beldar> mikeg3, Yes.
[18:31] <majod> is it any way how to disable <super>+number shortcut in unity?
[18:31] <codephobic> anyone got a solution to the sound issue with ALSA and the Intel Z97 chipset?
[18:31] <ki7mt> Gabi-, Or if your writing a Bash script, try in Bash, or Python script #python, but that's not Ubuntu support issues Im affraid.
[18:31] <codephobic> (other than using windows)
[18:31] <Beldar> mikeg3, The link tells you that be sure to read clearly so we are on task. ;)
[18:32] <mikeg3> beldar, ok, problem when running live CD is mouse and video tend to freeze, maybe we should start there.
[18:32] <Beldar> mikeg3, Can't really help on that with any clear answers, I would just be googling.
[18:33] <Daghdha> Hi, i set up one of the NICs in my ubuntu 13.01 LTS as a bridge. It craps out though. The windows machine using it will lose internet untill i reset the NIC in the ubuntu machine as follows: sudo ifdown --exclude=lo -a && sudo ifup --exclude=lo -a
[18:33] <Daghdha> Is there any known issues or pitfalls people need to watch out for?
[18:34] <Beldar> mikeg3, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ grab supergrub and see if it boots you to the ubuntu desktop we can go from their.
[18:34] <Daghdha> It craps out during my backup, so lotsa data is being pumped, but i don't know if that's exlcusive situation. When i pump lotsa data trough it's pretty fast to fail. under aminute
[18:34] <OerHeks> codephobic, found this tread with an fix > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421/comments/28
[18:34] <Beldar> Daghdha, That is eol not supported
[18:35] <Daghdha> bridge?
[18:35] <Beldar> Daghdha, 13.10?
[18:35] <Daghdha> LTS 13.x i dunno the x. 04?
[18:35] <Daghdha> lemme see
[18:35] <codephobic> OerHeks, thanks but I'm pretty much out of my depths when it comes to kernels and patches, any chance you could talk me through the process?
[18:36] <mikeg3> Beldar, on the video freeze, do have suspicions.  Old computer  with NVidia 6150SE video card, needs restricted drivers I would guess.  Is there any way to start Ubuntu in a simpler screen resolution, like 640x480.
[18:36] <OerHeks> codephobic, easy, step 1 > gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[18:37] <Beldar> mikeg3, we are far from where I am trying to help you, I said that is not an area I can help.
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> brb
[18:37] <OerHeks> codephobic, step 2 > paste this at the end of the file >  options snd-hda-intel vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0
[18:37] <codephobic> OerHeks, just installing gksu (wasn't on my system)
[18:37] <OerHeks> not gksu, gksudo
[18:38] <OerHeks> !sudo
[18:38] <Daghdha> Beldar: it says 12.04 LTS
[18:38] <OerHeks> oh is gksudo depreciated?
[18:38] <Beldar> mikeg3If we can get to the installs desktop than we have a more likely chance of fixing grub, and we will see if this other issue is apparent.
[18:38] <codephobic> OerHeks, done.
[18:39] <Beldar> Daghdha, Cool, just be sure you are correct in this area. ;/
[18:39] <codephobic> OerHeks, not sure whether it's deprecated or not but, just wasn't installed on my system. Could be something I did/didn't do, during my install.
[18:39] <Daghdha> Beldar: There never was a 13.x LTS?
[18:39] <ki7mt> No
[18:39] <OerHeks> codephobic, reboot and sound should workor killall pulseaudio, it should respawn
[18:39] <codephobic> OerHeks, thanks for the help, gonna reboot now ... hope it all works
[18:39] <jeevesmoss> how do I auto login a user on the desktop?
[18:39] <ki7mt> 10.04, 12.04 and 14.04 are the rescent LTS versions
[18:40] <Daghdha> Ok.. :) so support is stil on for 12.04?
[18:40] <ki7mt> Yes
[18:40] <ki7mt> Until Apr-2017
[18:40] <Beldar> Daghdha, Bro this info is on the web you should know this.
[18:40] <Daghdha> Well, i have an adapter bridging and when i have high data troughput it seems to fail.
[18:41] <Daghdha> I need to reset the NIC in the ubuntu machine as follows: sudo ifdown --exclude=lo -a && sudo ifup --exclude=lo -a
[18:41] <Daghdha> Then it is ok again.
[18:42] <Daghdha> Are there any settings i can do to make it mroe stable?
[18:43] <codephobic> OerHeks, just returned to Thank you for the help. It worked! :D
[18:43] <OerHeks> great, codephobic
[18:43] <codephobic> (listening to FatBoy Slim - Right Here, Right Now)
[18:43] <codephobic> cheers
[18:43] <OerHeks> codephobic, maybe you can confirm that fix works
[18:43] <codephobic> OerHeks, do I post on that thread?
[18:43] <OerHeks> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421/comments/28
[18:43] <OerHeks> jups
[18:44] <codephobic> OerHeks, cool will do.
[18:44] <codephobic> Any data I need to provide?
[18:44] <OerHeks> thanks in advance :-)
[18:44] <codephobic> Thank you for the trouble you went to, to help me :)
[18:44] <OerHeks> no just type that line and say it works for your 14.04
[18:44] <Daghdha> Waiting for  it to die again.. ofcourse when you want to it will not fail :(
[18:46] <jeevesmoss> how do I auto login a user on the desktop?
[18:47] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, See Info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin
[18:47] <Beldar> jeevesmoss, users has a switch
[18:48] <ki7mt> wow, that's links old, let me look for a newer one.
[18:49] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Dash  >> System Settings >> User accounts, click "Unlock" and enter your password, then click the button next to "Automatic login"
[18:50] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, is there a way to do it from the CLI?  I'm running a beaglebone black, and I don't have a mouse/keyboard here
[18:50] <Daghdha> This is my /etc/network.interfaces http://pastebin.com/3CGn0j6Q  basically 7 lines. Is there anything i can add or change to make it more stable?
[18:51] <jeevesmoss> Daghdha, what are you trying to make it "stable"?
[18:51] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, is this a desktop or server install?
[18:51] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, it's a desktop.
[18:51] <Daghdha> I just bridged them i do nothing to make it stable, i jus assumed it would work.
[18:52] <jeevesmoss> Daghdha, ahhhh, sorry, I'm not very good at bridging.
[18:52] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Ok, so you want to auto-login to a Desktop, with not KB or Mouse?
[18:52] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, correct.  there is a 7" LCD touch screen on the unit.  The end goal is to end up with the unit displaying a running "tail -f" full screen
[18:52] <Daghdha> i will begin removing that commented old stuff
[18:53] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Just SSH to the box with SSH-Keys then.
[18:54] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, that kinda kills the point of having the screen on the unit.
[18:54] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, is there a way to invoike the auto login without a keyboard?
[18:54] <Glorfindel> Yes
[18:54] <Glorfindel> hang on
[18:54] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, So does running in a full-screen terminal in a tail mode :-)
[18:55] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, <rolls eyeS>
[18:55] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, the unit will be running gl_tail as a "demo" to clients.   And if I can get it to work, I'll use the HDMI output to run a 42" LCD T.V. in the front office.
[18:56] <Glorfindel> oh wait, NM
[18:56] <english_nick> anyone use kde-plasma-desktop in 14.04? did it wreak any havoc on your lappy?
[18:56] <Glorfindel> you want to do it from the CLI
[18:56] <litropy> I'm using update-manager to upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04. It is currently downloading packages. I need to stop the download and use my connection for another purpose. When I start the upgrade again, will upddate-manager automatically pick up where it left off, or will the already downloaded packages be removed?
[18:56] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, I just don't feel like running a full blown desktop
[18:57] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, While Im sure there are many other ways, like I said, I would use SSH keys to do what yoru after.
[18:57] <YokoBR> guys, please, i have a huge problem after upgrading
[18:57] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, I belive this will do it, need to verify: sudo gpasswd -d USER nopasswdlogin
[18:58] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, that dosn't give me local (to the BBB) desktop auto login.  I can get the remote log stuff (gl_tail) working.  I'm just stuck on the auto login
[18:58] <YokoBR> errors found while running dpkg config snort  nova-common
[18:58] <r3volver> ki7mt: about disabling ~/.bash_history
[18:59] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Or you could manually edit: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[18:59] <r3volver> history -c just clears the current history right? should I add this in .bashrc?
[18:59] <r3volver> ki7mt: I wanted to point the .bash_history file to /dev/null or whatever
[19:00] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, I tried that.  Once this is done updating, I'll pull the config
[19:00] <ki7mt> r3volver, here's other ways of doing the same thing: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7041/dont-save-commands-in-bash-history-only-for-current-session
[19:00] <mzmz> having great difficulty getting the proprietary Nvidia drivers to work since a recent  apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:00] <ki7mt> r3volver, After that, it's up to you haw you want to spoof commands.
[19:01] <r3volver> ki7mt, thanks for the tip!
[19:01] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, I don't have a lightdm.conf file.  This is 13.04
[19:02] <mzmz> when I check /var/log/Xorg.0.log  one of the lines says:  [    24.135] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[19:02] <litropy> I'm using update-manager to upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04. It is currently downloading packages. I need to stop the download and use my connection for another purpose. When I start the upgrade again, will upddate-manager automatically pick up where it left off, or will the already downloaded packages be removed?
[19:02] <litropy> Stop the download, meaning, "Click Cancel"
[19:02] <Daghdha> oh wow, ubuntu just went down i think.. i lost connection and heard beeps inda reboot
[19:03] <litropy> I'm on a slow connection, and it would take hours to get back to where I was.
[19:03] <Daghdha> or rather boot.
[19:03] <mzmz> I've already use the "Additional Drivers" from the menu, and after purging done  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[19:03] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Ok, well your on your onw with that one, as 13.04 is EOL, asn 13.10 is EOL nect month, may want to consider 12.04 or 14.04.
[19:03] <mzmz> any insight would be helpful, maybe I'm doing something wrong
[19:03] <litropy> jeevesmoss, EOL = End Of Life
[19:05] <jeevesmoss> litropy, thanks, I know what EOL is.
[19:05] <bmurt> hey ya'll quick question regardin ubuntu 12.04 desktop x.64 and virtualization.. im trying to use virtualbox in conjunction with vagrant but the acceleration tab for virtualbox is not enabled
[19:05] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, I'll see if I can do a dist upgrade with less than 400Mb!
[19:05] <bmurt> vt-x, vt-d, etc. is enabled at the bios level
[19:05] <litropy> jeevesmoss, :)
[19:05] <bmurt> any ideas why that's not enabled in virtualbox?
[19:06] <Daghdha> If ubuntu has a kernel panic log?
[19:06] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, BB is a custom Re-Master for ARM v6 "I think", you may may run into issues there, but been a while since I did anything with that platform.
[19:07] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, lol.  everything I've done with this thing has been a mess
[19:07] <CodeGosu> if i move some process in console to background, how do i bring it back?
[19:07] <CodeGosu> ctrl+z
[19:07] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, and it would not be a dist-upgrade it would be a: do-release-upgrade, but in you case that will only get you to 13.10 then next month, your in the same boat rowing the same ores.
[19:08] <jeevesmoss> lol.  story of my life.
[19:08] <rww`> CodeGosu: the command fg
[19:09] <YokoBR> guys, pleaseeee
[19:09] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, Long story short, the BB, RaspPI, Cubie gurus need to keep pace with LTS of they expect proper support.
[19:09] <YokoBR> i'm screwd
[19:09] <YokoBR> i'm getting errors while configuring snort and nova-common
[19:09] <jeevesmoss> YokoBR, yep.  now please give us your beer
[19:09] <ki7mt> .. If they expect proper support"
[19:12] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, lets see what else I can break over here.
[19:12] <ki7mt> jeevesmoss, :-), that shouldnt' be to difficult :-)
[19:13] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, welcome to my world.  EVERYTHING I touch needs to be fixed.  I could grab a screwdriver, and it'll have a broken tip.  That's how unlucky I am.
[19:13] <Daghdha> jeevesmoss: You are.. reverse king Midas
[19:13] <Daghdha> Everything you touch turns to shit :)
[19:13] <sim590> why is ffmpeg not in 14.04 depots anymore ?
[19:14] <Sailor7009> hi guys
[19:14] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, it got to the point that this Systems admin (over 18 y-years) actually got pissed off enough, and taught himself tool and tie.  I have a good enough grasp of it that I built an engine.
[19:15] <Sailor7009> anyone can help me, still not able to instal ubuntu in my hp pavilion new model
[19:15] <OerHeks> sim590, ubuntu switched to libav https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FFmpeg
[19:15] <Sailor7009> 2014
[19:16] <Daghdha> are  things i have in /et/cnetowrking.interfaces not also supposed to bein networkmanager in the desktop?
[19:16] <OerHeks> Sailor7009, if that is an windows8 machine, you might need the uefi manual
[19:16] <OerHeks> !uefi
[19:16] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, can you explain this one to me please?  http://pastebin.com/RcQ64G0G
[19:16] <Sailor7009> i really tried manually with no success
[19:17] <Daghdha> BOOM>
[19:17] <jeevesmoss> ki7mt, I think that'll prove my point.  lol
[19:18] <Sailor7009> i am about to sell this one, I'll try for the very last time
[19:18] <jeevesmoss> Sailor7009, where theres a will there's also an hammer
[19:18] <Glorfindel> lol
[19:18] <jeevesmoss> Sailor7009, and if the hammer won't fix your issue, then you've got an electrical issue
[19:19] <askjl> Hi everyone. Can anyone please tell me where can I get realtek drivers? I am unable to get it from it's official website
[19:19] <askjl> I am having an issue with my ethernet card
[19:19] <sim590> OerHeks: do you mean that they moved ffmpeg in the package named libav ?
[19:19] <jeevesmoss> askjl, hammer time.
[19:20] <OerHeks> sim590, ffmpeg is now just a matapackage to libav
[19:20] <Kanerix> they deprecated ffmpeg, but ffmpeg is still actively developed and still works as a powerful tool
[19:20] <Kanerix> Especially on lower powered embedded systems
[19:21] <jaynext> yup tried to use ffmpeg ... they told me to use another program
[19:21] <Sailor7009_> jeevesmoss, i don't think its a hardware problem, the thing is that when i turn on the pc it's displayed on the screen the dualboot, but it won't accept to go into
[19:21] <Kanerix> I just recompiled it from source
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> jaynext  winff is a nice gui for ffmpeg
[19:21] <Kanerix> which told ubuntu to stfu about it
[19:22] <rsw> can someone tell me off-hand, what differentiates a "research operating system"?  Google only tosses up AROS
[19:22] <jeevesmoss> Sailor7009, that's a the EFUI thing popping up. My netbook does the same thing.  I'm in the process of dual booting that beast.
[19:22] <Kanerix> I'm using it for screen capture on embedded systems. Works really well for it, actually
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> rsw  this channel is ubuntu only
[19:22] <askjl> jeevesmoss: sorry?
[19:23] <sim590> OerHeks: what do you mean by "metapackage" ? I've just apt-file /usr/bin/ffmpeg and I didn't find anything that provides it.
[19:23] <ybit2> issues booting into ubuntu after install ( a grub screen isn't present) here's the paste from boot repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7712446/
[19:23] <rsw> well, i understand this, although unix is considered a research operating system and ubuntu being a descendant of that would certainly populate an irc channel with someone who could briefly describe the concept
[19:23] <ybit2> after running the recommended settings from boot repair, nothing happened, i.e. no boot screen (grub) present
[19:24] <jeevesmoss> askjl, ???
[19:24] <ybit2> anyone willing to help me out?
[19:24] <Sailor7009_> jeevesmoss, i don't think its a hardware problem, the thing is that when i turn on the pc it's displayed on the screen the dualboot, but it won't accept to go into
[19:24] <Sunstream> that UEFI is the reason Win 8 boots in seconds
[19:24] <jeevesmoss> Sailor7009, that's a the EFUI thing popping up. My netbook does the same thing.  I'm in the process of dual booting that beast.
[19:24] <ybit2> anyone ready to take on an adventure? ;D
[19:24] <askjl> jeevesmoss: hammer time?
[19:24] <Beldar> ybit2, Have you tapped shift at powering on?
[19:24] <Sailor7009_> win8 accept
[19:24] <OerHeks> metapackage is an file that points to package(s) with names that might not be the same, or hold a lot of dependencies like 'ubuntu-desktop'
[19:24] <jeevesmoss> askjl, it goes back to the comment of "where there is a will, there is a hammer"
[19:25] <Glorfindel> askjl: time to show your pc who's boss with a hammer
[19:25] <ybit2> Beldar: what do you mean?
[19:25] <askjl> oh I see
[19:25] <ybit2> Beldar: what would that do?
[19:25] <jeevesmoss> askjl, and if that won't work, you have an electrical issue
[19:25] <Beldar> ybit2, Turn on the computer and tap the shift as if shooting at aliens to see if the grub menu appears.
[19:26] <ybit2> Beldar: what happens is that the bios can't find a boot method and skips booting from the hard drive and tries out the last resort: network boot
[19:26] <askjl> jeevesmoss: i am unable to download the  driver off the website
[19:26] <linuxfan> hi everyone is this the irc channel where you can ask questions?
[19:26] <jeevesmoss> askjl, the NIC driver?
[19:26] <jeevesmoss> linuxfan, you just ansked a question.
[19:26] <askjl> jeevesmoss: yeah
[19:26] <ybit2> Beldar: it's not getting stuck on a blank screen or something
[19:27] <jeevesmoss> askjl, link?
[19:27] <ybit2> i wonder if that explains it "no boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda"
[19:27] <Beldar> ybit2,  Just a check with the info you have given a single install wil skip the grub menu, shift brings it up when all is working correctly.
[19:27] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, toss in a live CD and reinstall the GRUB
[19:28] <askjl> http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/firmware-nonfree/realtek/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
[19:28] <askjl> I think this is it
[19:28] <linuxfan> okay... I have a zte mf641 mobile broadband device, and i am wanting to know how to use it wired instead of wireless? i was able to once, but i am not able to anymore after downloading my wifi cards drivers.
[19:28] <YokoBR> :(
[19:28] <YokoBR> omg
[19:28] <jeevesmoss> askjl, how are oyu downloading it?  it works over here.
[19:28] <Beldar> ybit2, You have a uefi install, and boot partition, the mbr is not used.
[19:29] <jeevesmoss> when are they going to fix this bloody issue?
[19:29] <askjl> jeevesmoss: using wget
[19:29] <linuxfan> i was able to set up a connection using the lte option in the network settings, but once i downloaded the wifi drivers for my wifi card i was able to use it via wired anymore. it's really odd.
[19:30] <jeevesmoss> askjl, what's the error when you use wget?
[19:30] <Beldar> ybit2, Actaully hard to tell if a uefi install with lvm not letting the script read.
[19:31] <jeevesmoss> askjl, you're just getting some weird files?
[19:31] <ybit2> adjusting the settings in boot repair
[19:31] <ybit2> it should also reinstall a new version of grub
[19:31] <ybit2> i made the boot menu appear for at least 2 seconds
[19:31] <askjl> jeevesmoss: yeah
[19:31] <jeevesmoss> askjl, run this "mv rtl8192sfw.bin?revision=15684 rtl8192sfw.bin"
[19:32] <askjl> okay, got the bin file, jeevesmoss
[19:32] <Beldar> ybit2, a bit of a strange setup with a ext2 sda2 do you have a clue at all on a uefi bios?
[19:32] <ybit2> Beldar: i don't really know
[19:32] <ybit2> i think it is
[19:32] <ybit2> lenovo thinkpad b570
[19:33] <jeevesmoss> askjl, np.  sourceforge does that crap.  just look for the file name in the long string and MV it
[19:33] <Beldar> ybit2, I would practice with a install with the lvm and get acquainted with the uefi bios and your options, a legacy boot would have a mbr involved.
[19:33] <askjl> thanks
[19:34] <jeevesmoss> askjl, np.  I struggled with that one for a while.

[19:34] <orbisvicis> can I install a debian package?
[19:35] <Beldar> orbisvicis, In ubuntu at your own risk, not a good idea
[19:35] <Daghdha> Do i understand correct br0: is a firtual device that send/receives over eth1: and eth2: .. AND.. that when network stops working over eth1 and not eth2 the error is probably not in bridging but in the specific eth1:?
[19:35] <Beldar> not supported here
[19:35] <askjl> jeevesmoss: I am getting 2MB/s on my ethernet atm :P
[19:36] <ybit2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7712701/ <-- latest output from boot repair
[19:36] <Daghdha> are you talking to me beldar?
[19:37] <jeevesmoss> askjl, sounds like a duplex issue.  if it's a 100Mb card, you should be getting 10Mb effective
[19:38] <askjl> jeevesmoss: it's 1000Mb
[19:38] <askjl> jeevesmoss: also this r816....bin we have got has error
[19:38] <ybit2> jeevesmoss, Beldar: thanks for your responses, rebooting now
[19:38] <jeevesmoss> askjl, lol, kick it.
[19:39] <askjl> jeevesmoss: haha, that was the only place where I got the file from
[19:40] <askjl> okay, got more
[19:41] <jeevesmoss> askjl, why isn't it precompiled?  some odd ball card?
[19:42] <askjl> yeah
[19:42] <askjl> I think so
[19:44] <ybit2> welp pressing the shift key like a mad man didn't really help :)
[19:45] <Beldar> ybit2, I doubt that install is going to ever work, that has been my point.
[19:45] <convict> Anyone familiar with disabling the discrete gpu in a mid-2012 mbp? Tried using vgaswitcheroo but it gives me client 101 refused switch.
[19:45] <ybit2> Beldar: so your recommendation is to read the uefi documentation?
[19:45] <ybit2> Beldar: what do you think is the issue?
[19:46] <Beldar> ybit2, A good start yes. ;)
[19:46] <ybit2> maybe i should try legacy mode
[19:46] <ybit2> i did get this machine in ~2009
[19:47] <Daghdha> 2009 had no uefi yet did it?
[19:47] <ybit2> or ~2010
[19:47] <ybit2> can't recall
[19:47] <jeevesmoss> lol.  mine was made around that time I think
[19:47] <Beldar> Beldar, Looks like hard to say as you are using lvm like a regular install without the legacy option, uefi is a bit knew for many of us so I can't be exactly sure.
[19:48] <ybit2> no option for efi in the BIOS
[19:48] <ybit2> i'll try to make it a legacy boot
[19:48] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, are you running the latest?
[19:48] <ybit2> jeevesmoss: 14.04
[19:49] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, latest BIOS
[19:49] <Beldar> ybit2, it is already uefi, and a gpt partition table and gpt partitioning, you need to research, not guess.
[19:50] <Beldar> ybit2, This a former apple computer?
[19:50] <ybit2> no
[19:50] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, is it not seeing the disks?  you have to kick the BIOS over to the old SATA version for the inital install
[19:50] <Beldar> ybit2, Hard to tell what is going on there you have a efi partiton sda1.
[19:51] <Beldar> jeevesmoss, you are guessing
[19:51] <ybit2> jeevesmoss: the only options for sata are "compatible" and "ati" or something like that
[19:51] <ybit2> i can't recall the exact second option, it's defaulting to "compatible"
[19:52] <FourFire> Hello!
[19:53] <FourFire> hello hello
[19:53] <Beldar> FourFire, Support issue?
[19:53] <FourFire> is canonical going to sell ubuntu, and what does that actually mean?

[19:54] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, I went out to the car to get my netbook to have a look
[19:54] <DJones> FourFire: And what was the date on that
[19:54] <FourFire> Beldar, thank you, I have frequented this channel a number of times before, I'm just a little freaked, need to determine whether this is true or not
[19:54] <Beldar> FourFire, April 1, 2014
[19:54] <ybit2> jeevesmoss: you have a b570 as well?
[19:54] <FourFire> ...
[19:54] <Beldar> april fools fool. ;)
[19:54] <Daghdha> ls
[19:54] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, try compatable.
[19:55] <ybit2> jeevesmoss: it is compatible
[19:55] <ybit2> jeevesmoss: by default
[19:55] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, no, I have a transformer pad
[19:55] <Daghdha> Where does one go for support on bridging?
[19:55] <jeevesmoss> Daghdha, your local DOT office
[19:55] <DJones> FourFire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day
[19:55] <Beldar> bazinga
[19:55] <FourFire> thanks :D
[19:56] <Beldar> FourFire, maybe the onion site is more on your level you would know it's fake, ;)
[19:56] <ybit2> Beldar: is the lvm thing throwing you for a loop
[19:56] <ybit2> i can create a new install without lvm
[19:56] <Daghdha> Beldar: Oeople only don't realise it'
[19:56] <ybit2> i just want a working machine so i can work
[19:56] <Daghdha> s because it's not funny
[19:57] <jeevesmoss> ybit2, I'm going to try installing Ubuntu 14.03 on my netbook (since I killed Windows 8 on it last night)
[19:58] <Daghdha> This bridging is realy beginning to piss me off. I can triggerthe other nic failing by doing an ls on the console. Yes.. an ls.
[19:58] <ikonia> a network card is not impacted by "ls"
[19:58] <Daghdha> one would think so. The Ls is don on remote VNC session though trough the other nic. But even then.
[19:59] <Daghdha> i will switch them see what happens.
[20:00] <cicobarque> ciao
[20:05] <kitkat_> hi
[20:06] <kitkat_> i have a problem anyone out here can help ?
[20:07] <ikonia> kitkat_: people don't know if they can help until you tell them the problem
[20:09] <cicobarque> ciao
[20:09] <uve> how can i change my hotspot security key?
[20:10] <ikonia> uve: what controls your hotspot ?
[20:10] <kitkat_> i have some files when i open it  gives error permission denied , can't red from disk , changed permissions and nothing , and also there a file can't be deleted even with root priv
[20:10] <uve> ikonia:  nevermind, i found it in edit connectiond, thanks anyways
[20:11] <ikonia> kitkat_: are these on your ubuntu disk or a different disk
[20:11] <cicobarque> help
[20:11] <ikonia> cicobarque: nope,
[20:11] <ikonia> cicobarque: if you ask a question though, someone may help, but "help" just gets nothing
[20:11] <kitkat_> different disk
[20:11] <ikonia> kitkat_: a windows disk ?
[20:12] <kitkat_> i was using it on windows NTFS format i switched to Ubuntu and formated windows system disk ,
[20:13] <ikonia> kitkat_: ok, so what file system is on the disk you are trying to access ?
[20:14] <tjj> So I recently rebooted after a bunch of upgrades, and suddenly the special keys on my M$ ergo keyboard aren't being registered anymore. Any thoughts on how to investigate/fix this?
[20:15] <bmurt> stop using a microsoft keyboard?
[20:15] <tjj> Oddly, the numlock and caps lock LEDs aren't working anymore either, although the lock keys give the normal behavior
[20:15] <bmurt> :)
[20:15] <tjj> bmurt: I'd definitely welcome any suggestions on other ergo keyboards with extra keys (e.g., I use the 'favorite' button to launch terminal)
[20:16] <kitkat_> system files work fine , part ion 2 , any files contain Thumb.db all mp3 and jpg files give that error and Thumb files  undelete able :/
[20:16] <ikonia> kitkat_: ok, so what file system is on the disk you are trying to access ?
[20:18] <kitkat_> ikonia  didn't get your question ,
[20:18] <cicobarque> xdcc
[20:18] <cicobarque> xdccmule
[20:18] <ikonia> kitkat_: what file system (ntfs/fat/ext4/etc) is on the disk
[20:19] <kitkat_> ex4
[20:19] <Sunstream>  ?!
[20:19] <ikonia> kitkat_: then you can simpley chage the permissions on those files
[20:19] <kitkat_> ext4
[20:19] <Sunstream> ?!
[20:24] <kitkat_> sys disk ex4 , the problem on ntfs disk , when i change permission it says applying changes and disappear , throw terminal changed it and still can't open mp3 and jpg files on the ntfs disk , and when i open properties of jpg or mp3 it's quit automatically  , that what is confusing me ikonia , so any way to delete thumb.db ?
[20:25] <rootkit_infected> k
[20:25] <rootkit_infected>  i got infected with a tftpd, i have read documentation about it but i cant get rid of it, could anyone help?
[20:26] <bekks> rootkit_infected: you should reinstall your system.
[20:27] <rootkit_infected> bekks this is flashed in the memory
[20:27] <rootkit_infected> im running a lide system, no hard drive
[20:27] <ikonia> rootkit_infected tftpd is not an infection
[20:27] <falafel> Anybody knows how can I remove icons from QT apps in the global appmenu? Found this old question, with no answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/139611/how-can-i-remove-icons-from-menus-of-qt-apps. I notice that Libreoffice has no icons, how's that? I want to remove menu icons from ReText and Scribus QT apps
[20:27] <bekks> rootkit_infected: Which doesnt change that fact. An infected system needs to be reinstalled.
[20:28] <rootkit_infected> ikonia, of course not, but was installed not by me, wthout my knowledge

[20:28] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: what do you want from this channel to help you ?
[20:29] <rootkit_infected> nice attitude
[20:30] <bekks> rootkit_infected: How did you detect that tftp was installed?
[20:30] <rootkit_infected> i started to see that i was broadcasting in a 10.0.0.0 network
[20:30] <bekks> rootkit_infected: How did you see that?
[20:31] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: what do you want from this channel to help you ?
[20:31] <rootkit_infected> ikonia, how could i remove tftpd from memory
[20:31] <bekks> rootkit_infected: Stop the process.

[20:32] <mal__> hello! I was wondering if there is a place where I can see changes/fixes that are included in sudo apt-get upgraded packages , please? thank you
[20:32] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: what do you mean "from memory"
[20:32] <|inux> I was here yesterday and I asked a question about ubuntu 14.04 freezing up after login... and I did not get a response. However, I found a page that was great in helping me find a fix and I wanted to share in case anyone else had this issue ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/449845/problems-after-upgrading-to-14-04-only-background-and-pointer-after-login
[20:32] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: you need to stop the process and remove the binarys from disk
[20:32] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: however this is moot, as if you believe your system is comrpomised, re-install the whole system
[20:32] <rootkit_infected> i dont use a hard drive, im runing from a pen
[20:33] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: the pen is a hard disk
[20:33] <rootkit_infected> doesnt matter if is this pen or a cdrom or another pen,
[20:33] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: correct, it doesn't matter at all
[20:33] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: if it's not livemedia - re-install the whole os
[20:33] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: if this is a live media - then just reboot the system
[20:34] <rootkit_infected> grat help
[20:34] <ikonia> it is
[20:34] <rootkit_infected> tftpd was flashed
[20:34] <ikonia> "flashed"
[20:34] <ikonia> what are you talking about
[20:34] <rootkit_infected> that means its irrelevant to reboot
[20:34] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: no it doesn't
[20:34] <Pici> rootkit_infected: Are you running Ubuntu?
[20:34] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: what operating system is this ?
[20:34] <rootkit_infected> i give up
[20:34] <ikonia> it's an easy question
[20:34] <ikonia> rootkit_infected: what operating system is this ?
[20:40] <kitkat_> thanks ikonia

[20:53] <Darkwell> used ntfsresize to shrink a ntfs partition did work w no errors in that... then fdisk and set the partition slightly bigger than the resize... all seemed 8k until mount attemts.. which failed both in ubuntu and win xp ... what can i do to recover the files on that disk ?
[20:59] <jnoob22> I installed and had a look at kde-plasma-desktop but it screwed up my web fonts ... example: Chrome fonts are now too light. I haven't been able to find a solution by googling, anyone run into this problem before?
[20:59] <Glorfindel> you should be able to change that in chrome, IIRC
[21:01] <jnoob22> Glorfindel, where do you see where you can make it darker?
[21:01] <Glorfindel> I'm not using chrome
[21:02] <jnoob22> I installed the Advanced Font Config plugin but still don't see anything resembling that.
[21:02] <jnoob22> ok np
[21:02] <Glorfindel> so I don't know, but most browsers do
[21:03] <uve> suddenly apt-get install isn't asking me to confirm before downloading... ?
[21:03] <Glorfindel> are you sudo-ing it?
[21:04] <uve> yes, as usual
[21:04] <Glorfindel> well I don't know then
[21:04]  * Glorfindel shrugs
[21:05] <uve> no problem, it's weird though
[21:05] <Glorfindel> are you running the term as root?
[21:05] <uve> nope
[21:08] <Surkow|laptop> hi guys, is libtar 1.2.20-4 supposed to be already backported to 14.04?
[21:09] <tiiuhuun> lol! I'm so lost. I get dropped to busybox on almost every distro dvd or usb on this crazy Acer desktop
[21:09] <tiiuhuun> can't boot install
[21:10] <tiiuhuun> Can't find initramfs or can't find boot image type errors
[21:12] <tiiuhuun> What a bunch of Toastwaffle. This channel has so many partrons
[21:13] <uve> im so pissed, i punched my keyboard on another laptop cuz it kept making weird noises (it's pretty old) and suddenly ubuntu wont boot, windows is on another partition it seems to have survived but the laptop is really slow now, is this a coincidence or the punch had something to do with it? (on a bright note the weird noises went away)
[21:14] <Emer21>  Here some videos. I hope you like them! http://bitly.com/1mEdIVC
[21:14] <tiiuhuun> Yeah laptops suck. You punched thus laptop
[21:14] <uve> i cant even boot a livecd anymore to get into the ubuntu partition

[21:18] <Surkow|laptop> supposedly, an update is available for libtar and released to updates. But after 17 hours it still cannot be downloaded.
[21:18] <Surkow|laptop> any solution for this?
[21:20] <Surkow|laptop> hmm, after forcing updates and reinstalling a program that crashed previously due to libtar the problem seems to have been solved
[21:20] <trism> Surkow|laptop: not -4 it is 1.2.20-3ubuntu0.1
[21:21] <DrGrov> Is it possible to easily get a switch or WM/DE in Xubuntu 14.04 64-bit?
[21:21] <DrGrov> *of
[21:21] <Surkow|laptop> trism, it took me a while - but yeah I noticed it finally
[21:21] <Surkow|laptop> DrGrov, yes
[21:22] <Surkow|laptop> If you don't mind installing all included applications for a specific DE resulting in extra text editors, terminals and so on
[21:22] <DrGrov> Surkow|laptop: I am merely wondering if there is any breakage due to occur if I switch from XFCE to KDE.
[21:22] <Surkow|laptop> no
[21:22] <Beldar> DrGrov, New WM/DE in a switch or reboot, what exactly do you mean, or to just have others of these?
[21:22] <DrGrov> Surkow|laptop: No,  that is completely fine. I love my text editors, especially Leafpad which I always install together with Mousepad.
[21:23]  * Surkow|laptop removed mousepad
[21:23] <DrGrov> Beldar: I mean in XFCE there is the chance to enable KDE or GNOME services at startup. That perhaps is an annoyance if I switch to KDE and have mostly GTK apps and not QT?
[21:23] <Beldar> DrGrov, Ah I see, just both DE having there apps within the other, a overlap.
[21:23] <Beldar> is the result
[21:24] <Surkow|laptop> services like software updates
[21:24] <DrGrov> Beldar: Yes, a overlap is what I mean. You got what I meant :)
[21:24] <Surkow|laptop> you will see two icons in the task bar probably
[21:24] <DrGrov> That is not a big concern, I always completely customize my own task bar and menu after every fresh install.
[21:24] <Beldar> DrGrov, I'm not really up on gtk apps or qt exactly.
[21:24] <Surkow|laptop> I'd vote for a complete reinstall after yous ettled
[21:24] <DrGrov> So the overlapping is not that terribly.
[21:24] <Surkow|laptop> *are settled
[21:25] <DrGrov> Surkow|laptop: I am settled now with XFCE but love to get KDE or something new to fiddle around with.
[21:25] <DrGrov> XFCE is beautiful and lovely but I like the customizations better in KDE to be honest. But still like to have XFCE there on standby since I love it.
[21:25] <Surkow|laptop> I replaced most core applications with gnome3 variants in my setup
[21:25] <Beldar> DrGrov, If you install another DE save all the packages installed to a text doc and you can fully remove with that if needed.
[21:25] <Surkow|laptop> it was a pain, but I only care about the menu and taskbar in xfce
[21:26] <DrGrov> Beldar: Okay, that is one way to go :)
[21:26] <Surkow|laptop> xfce has bad dual head handling. Waking up isn't going well either. Didn't happen to me with the default ubuntu unity environment
[21:26] <DrGrov> But a simple WM is possible to get easily, like Fluxbox?
[21:26] <Beldar> DrGrov, true, the easiest I think the apt-get install lists them at the y/n option
[21:27] <Beldar> DrGrov, Yep all are fairly easy to get.
[21:27] <DrGrov> Beldar: Okay, so I will give Fluxbox a go then since I love the simplicity even though the specs are way overboard for Fluxbox.
[21:28] <DrGrov> Beldar: Any suggestions on what WM I should test out for a new experience?
[21:28] <NGC6205> is there an advantage to passwd -l over passwd -d to disable an account? I notice that all the system accounts are by default locked vs. having no password
[21:29] <Beldar> DrGrov, Not really, fluxbox and a bottom panel, there is one that is nice I forget the name at this point, really your looking for what you want. ;)
[21:29] <DrGrov> Beldar: Okay, I do not want any panels to be honest in Fluxbox :) I love just a custom menu and nothing else :)
[21:30] <Beldar> DrGrov, fkuxbox and tint as the bottom panel is nice
[21:30] <Beldar> tint2*
[21:30] <Beldar> Doh fluxbox tint2
[21:31] <Beldar> DrGrov, Sorry I'm practicing an instrument and sitting sideways to type
[21:32] <DrGrov> Beldar: No worries :) It is fluxbox tint2 you say :)
[21:32] <Beldar> DrGrov, Bingo. ;)
[21:32] <jnoob22> damn.... all the fonts look great except for web fonts :( any idea how to fix those? I've gone into Chrome settings and made changes to the font face and size, still the exact same
[21:32] <cipherson> Wow
[21:32] <jnoob22> any idea how to fix the web fonts so they are darker? it was working great until I installed kde-plasma-desktop .... i uninstalled ALL packages that came with it and it still looks like crap.
[21:34] <joelmo> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/gsNYU5ma
[21:38] <DrGrov> Beldar: Maybe I do not make sense when I say that I love the minimalistic approach like Fluxbox since it makes me a lot more productive as in using Fluxbox instead of XFCE

[22:26] <NGC3982> Oh wait.
[22:26] <NGC3982> Wrong channel. :D
[22:27] <xangua> OerHeks: no idea, don't use pepper
[22:27] <uve> WIlsonTheTallDwa: run sudo apt-get update
[22:27] <xangua> WIlsonTheTallDwa: what package?
[22:29] <WIlsonTheTallDwa> uve, yeah I forgot about that. thanks
[22:29] <WIlsonTheTallDwa> xangua, unable to locate the package for flashplugin-installer.
[22:29]  * helo wonders why the hell the the ubuntu server page says it is only available for 64-bit
[22:30] <YokoBR_> guys, please, how do i reset mysql password on ubuntu 13.04?
[22:30] <helo> i just did a 64-bit install because of that shit, planning to fumble around with stuff to do 32-bit builds
[22:30] <xangua> YokoBR_: upgrade to a supported Ubuntu release
[22:31] <OerHeks> WIlsonTheTallDwa, ehm, maybe it is in the multiverse repo?
[22:31] <YokoBR_> xangua, it's server edition
[22:32] <average> does Ubuntu come by default with UFW activated ?
[22:32] <average> not that it would be a problem, just asking..
[22:32] <helo> i.e. why does http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server say "64-bit only", but http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ link to ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.iso ?
[22:32] <xangua> YokoBR_: and it's not supported and neither receiving security updates
[22:32] <WIlsonTheTallDwa> I got this message after the update: http://codepad.org/Ot1VRffB
[22:32] <average> does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS come by default with UFW activated ?
[22:32] <OerHeks> YokoBR_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[22:32] <Beldar> average, none do
[22:33] <OerHeks> YokoBR_, but not upgrading is not secure
[22:33] <average> Beldar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall#UFW_in_Ubuntu
[22:33] <average>  "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS introduced ufw, and it is available by default in all Ubuntu installations after 8.04 LTS. "
[22:33] <average> does that mean it comes with Ubuntu activated by default?
[22:33] <average> or is it just installed by default and de-activated ?
[22:33] <Beldar> average, no, just installed
[22:33] <OerHeks> average, ufw is available, all you need is the gui, gufw and enable it in your systemsettings
[22:34] <average> OerHeks: so is it disabled by default?
[22:34] <Beldar> average, installed not activated, always has been this way.
[22:34] <OerHeks> average, no, enabled, but no rules
[22:34] <average> OerHeks , Beldar <== you two have contradictory points of view
[22:35] <Beldar> average, You get what you pay for. ;)
[22:35] <average> Beldar: I'm sorry? What?
[22:36] <average> Beldar: nobody forced you to talk if you don't know the answer
[22:36] <OerHeks> average, check yourself https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw
[22:36] <average> OerHeks: thank you, I'll have a look
[22:36] <Beldar> average, As far as I know it is installed but not activated.
 does that mean it comes with Ubuntu activated by default? <average> or is it just installed by default and de-activated ? Two contradictory questions back to back kinda hard to answer clearly, any if us may fail here bro.
[22:41] <average> Beldar: Those two questions complement each other. They are not contradictory. AFAIK statements can be contradictory, not questions.
[22:44] <lloowen> Hello all. Trying to free up some harddisk space on my Ubuntu. I see that I have a lot of deb packages in /var/cache/apt/archives Are they necessary? Is it safe to delete them? Thanks
[22:44] <bekks> lloowen: Just run sudo apt-get clean
[22:46] <dave_mwi> hello, had a rough install process...windows 8, gpt partitions, etc. Finally got booted. My computer doesn't 'wake' back up from suspend. I'm probably missing some kernel options, can anyone suggest?
[22:46] <lloowen> bekks: Thanks, that did the trick
[22:47] <YokoBR_> guys, please, i'm trying to use sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
[22:48] <bekks> YokoBR_: And?
[22:51] <Beldar> YokoBR_, Server or not you are eol. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[23:00] <Beldar> dave_mwi, The ubuntu suspend right?
[23:00] <A_Pickle> So, okay, it seems like I have to run "sudo dhclient eth0" every time I reboot.  Is there any way to get the server to do this automatically, or should I use a static address instead?
[23:04] <Daghdha> How can i see what driver version is used for my NIC?
[23:05] <Daghdha> i tried lsmod but i see no network things i think
[23:06] <abdulmalik> anyone know how to tunnel connections through dns servers like yourfreedom?
[23:08] <filiplap> hi, is there a currently blessed way of configuring the X server? I've tried creating HAL .fdi files, but these seem ignored nowadays
[23:08] <Bashing-om> Daghdha: -> sudo lshw -C network <.
[23:10] <neph> where are the logs for the panel indicators stored? (if they are at all)
[23:11] <filiplap> neph: I'd shoot for ~/.xsession-errors with all the other stuff
[23:13] <L0uk3> I have Xserver working on a 14.04 Trusty box. I can launch the applications I need and all is well. I much prefer it to VNC/NX etc... Problem is that I cannot figure out how to launch gnome-sesion to access the desktop environment. Rooted or Windowed does not make a diff. I keep tweaking to no avail. It looks like a bug but the research is not conclusive. Here is the error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7713602/.
[23:13] <L0uk3> Has anyone else seen and resolved this by chance?
[23:14] <neph> filiplap: no dice, it's empty
[23:14] <unkn-error> the new versions (editions) of ubuntu will have systemD?
[23:15] <Daghdha> I think i narrowed down my driver version to: 1.0.1.0-NAPI
[23:16] <filiplap> neph: that would be weird
[23:17] <filiplap> neph: maybe the location chas changed lately...
[23:18] <Bashing-om> unkn-error: So the developers are working to .. join debian .. systemD is already creeping in.
[23:19] <Daghdha> Anyone here upgraded 12.04 desktops to 14.04?
[23:20] <Daghdha> .. successfully :)
[23:20] <unkn-error> what are the differences between debian packages and ubuntu packages, in general, from a "performance" point of view? Are the ubuntu packages imbuned somehow for performance, or what patches dose ussually have (leaving away branding stuff)
[23:21] <unkn-error> or the same software, with the same version will perform the same?
[23:23] <OerHeks> unkn-error, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/ForDebianDevelopers#Why_does_Ubuntu_need_to_change_my_packages.3F__What_kind_of_changes_are_made.3F
[23:24] <OerHeks> performance should be the same i guess
[23:24] <unkn-error> Thank you, Bashing-om / OerHeks
[23:25] <mikeg3> Hi, if I want to install Ubuntu on a second HDD, can/should I install the GRUB bootloader on the first HDD that has Windows Vista already installed?
[23:25] <skinofstars> yep
[23:26] <skinofstars> mikeg3: stick the mbr and grub on whatever is the primary
[23:26] <L0uk3> mikeg3: If you install Ubuntu it will recognize the Win partition and ask you if you want to dual boot. If you answer yes it will install GRUB for you.
[23:26] <Bashing-om> unkn-error: :-) ....
[23:27] <unkn-error> mikeg3: you can install grub in the partition where ubuntu resides, if it is primary and active
[23:27] <unkn-error> there is no need to install it in the MBR
[23:27] <unkn-error> or to touch first hdd
[23:27] <unkn-error> when you wish to boot the secondary hdd, first
[23:27] <unkn-error> you will have to press F12 or what your bios need to be pressed
[23:28] <unkn-error> for opening the menu of what hdd you wish to boot
[23:28] <skinofstars> unkn-error: yeah, that's why i said stick it on the primary. i guess f12 is less intrusive though
[23:28] <Guest15039> is there an official ubuntu shop that accept bitcoin or paypal?
[23:28] <austin6598> i tried this and now the program is just stuck at loading. is there any way to revert it: http://venture4computing.blogspot.in/2013/12/how-to-root-bluestacks-custom-rooting.html#comment-form
[23:28] <austin6598> i was just trying to run a tablet game on an emulator but it was a galaxy emulator so i couldnt get it without rooting
[23:28] <austin6598> sadly something went wrong
[23:28] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: 'nother take, install ubuntu onto the 2nd hard drive, install grub to sdb, and never even touch Windows. Each can then boot independently.
[23:29] <unkn-error> mikeg3: you can also install / try / play with this: http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
[23:32] <dundel> whois
