[00:04] my computer won't wake from suspend. I've tried a number of different things researching online, but still no luck. it seems like it starts to wake up, but stops. In /var/log/syslog is: PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded. [00:06] but I've checked /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and it has the right device in it...my swap device [00:08] someone mind helping a newbie with some ubuntu desktop issues? [00:09] does anyone know a good way of setting enviroment variables that are available to both root and standard users?

[00:18] bekks, what should be used instead of startx?? [00:19] conall: Use a display manager like lightdm, gdm, kdm, etc., for starting an X session. [00:19] ah right. I see Thanks [00:19] whats the settings program called in ubuntu? [00:20] in unity [00:20] kingbeowolf: unity-control-center ? [00:20] i can't find it after i installed KDE and it seems my default programs aren't being set by the KDE default applications manager [00:21] bekks, maybe that isn't it... how can i set Kate as the default program to open files instead of gedit? [00:23] what is unity, probably stupid question by mind you i'm diving head first into linux [00:23] shake_: It is a desktop environment. [00:24] kingbeowolf, easiest is right click a text-properties-open with [00:27] bekks, i thought it be best to dive into linux with ubuntu then read about ubuntu tv and ran the proper package under ubuntu server in virtual box and this is where i am at. Just wondering how do i launch into gui from vbox which had me install unity-2d [00:28] I have a MacBook Pro running Ubuntu 14.04, and I'm trying to swap my Ctrl and Super keys so they match how OS X uses them.

It has a exclemation point next to it and no drop down list. [00:51] darken: Latest release is 14.04 (trusty tahr) and in devlopment is 14.10 . [00:52] convict: extract the themes in your ~home/.themes directory [00:53] xangua, i did that but I can't select them in gnome-tweak-tool unless I'm missing something. [00:53] convict, you probably need to install the gnome shell themes extension to install themes [00:53] iBelieve, how do I do that [00:53] convict, I'm not sure of the package name, I will try to find it === hxm is now known as Guest36663 === jjkinas is now known as domovoi [00:54] convict, try this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ [00:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7713868/ [00:56] I have a MacBook Pro running Ubuntu 14.04, and I'm trying to swap my Ctrl and Super keys so they match how OS X uses them.

[00:57] yep [00:58] convict, have you tried restarting Tweak Tool? [00:58] dave_mwi, Never had a problem with suspend since 6.04 and at least 3 different computers. So telling us you may switch to another distro means what here and to us? [00:58] iBelieve, yep [00:58] started at 6.04 by the way dave_mwi [00:59] Beldar: I never said a majority of Ubuntu users are experiencing it, but a simple Google search yields many results as a common issue. Consider yourself lucky that it's not affecting your system. Nothing seems to fix it. === s0meone is now known as someone [01:00] dave_mwi, And simple statistics says you will primarily see errors on a web search. [01:00] http://s7.postimg.org/lwsdpsn4b/desktop.png can anyone tell me how to remove the user menu in the main menu its ubuntu 14.04 with fallback mode [01:00] convict, how about trying sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions [01:00] dave_mwi, That is a some bad assumptions [01:01] Beldar: and what do the stats say about getting meaningful answers in the #ubuntu IRC room? [01:01] dave_mwi, No idea, been here about 5 years helped thousands, how about you? [01:01] convict, once you install the extension, you may need to activate it in Tweak Took [01:02] Beldar: been here a few times, and no one has ever helped. That's why I have two other systems with Mint and Fedora on them with no issues and help from many in those communities. Once again Ubuntu is proving to be dissapointing. And it's not so much the system or the setup - that can be resolved with meaningful support - it's always been the community with Ubuntu. [01:03] desktop, try alt+right click => move from panel ? [01:03] iBelieve, i dont see it in tweaktools [01:03] <__equinox> why is it with one of my user that I've set rbash [01:03] <__equinox> I always get -rbash: cd: restricted [01:03] <__equinox> why can't I cd to any folder inside this user's home directory [01:04] dave_mwi, If you are disappointed and have an opinion why are you using it and here? [01:04] convict, hmm, I'm not sure what else to try. Maybe someone else here in the channel will be able to help you. You could also try searching askubuntu.com and see if any answers there will help you. Sorry I can't be of more help [01:05] thanks for your reply gr33n but that wont work [01:05] Ive gone through dconf etc and unticked show user name etc but for some reason the user menu wont go away on the main menu [01:06] desktop, I meant on the menu icon itself [01:06] yea i tried that [01:06] Beldar: Benefit of the doubt, probably. But once again, you are proof and validation of why every time I've installed Ubuntu, I've left it. You seem sincere, but it's too bad that your sincerity isn't directed at offering possible solutions to what I'm having a problem with - but at seemingly trying to tell me that I don't a problem - I guess because most of the pages on google from my result are in error. [01:06] dave_mwi, Honestly linux is a self sufficiency system, figure it out than help others. [01:06] alt and rick click on the item doesnt bring up a menu [01:07] like move or delete etc [01:07] desktop, when you just right click on the menu does the Edit Menus not show? [01:07] dave_mwi, If I new the answer I might have helped except for the confirmation bias diatribe. ;) [01:07] yes .. but the user mneu is not listed in that [01:07] just all the main menu items [01:08] hmmm... [01:08] dave_mwi, Your comments at the beginning which I questioned would have had you in my ignore anyway, no facts just fud. [01:09] Beldar: the pastebin of my syslog, or the content of my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume are not facts? Interesting. [01:10] thanks for your help ... its very frustrasting.. if i untick it in dconf it removes the usermenu from the indicator panel on the right but not in the main menu.... if i add the main menu bar and not just the menu icon its not there but i want to use the icon main menu and not the bar menu [01:11] i reckon its a bug or something thta wasnt allow to be achieved in the fallback mode [01:11] Ill try to search the menu config and hack it someway [01:11] can you create acl for sshd [01:11] Beldar: maybe it was my made up offer of having /var/log/pm-suspend.log content? [01:12] desktop, good luck I can't even try myself as not on ubuntu at the min [01:12] no problem .. but thanks for trying to help me === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [01:13] *shaking head* amazing...going over to the Mint room.

I'm there and I help newcomers with their problems, at least as good as i can... [02:06] oii [02:06] Gar5: keep in mind ubuntu 14.04 takes a snapshot of debian early on and then builds on that. So if fixes made it to debian after that snapshot, then they may have not been made in time to get pulled into ubuntu [02:07] those changes could be backported, which is something that one could contribute to [02:08] since this isn't directly related to a support issue, I say we take it to -offtopic. :) [02:08] Thanks jrib. But, just as examples, take the mouse and contrast switch memory... have to change them after each reboot... [02:08] Gar5: have you found the bug # for it?

[02:18] Omega9: you should try stock ubuntu, if just live... they (netrunner, or whatever) can change a lot of the system from ubuntu, and we wont be able to support [02:19] oh ok [02:19] zaxius: i would logout and see if the login screen shows it.. [02:19] holstein, ok hang on [02:19] holstein, thanks [02:20] i guess he didn't want to try #ubuntu-es...

[02:26] i had a similar issue with manjaro https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=14442.0 but the fix there, which was adding ¨rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1¨ to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to /etc/default/grub , didnt work [02:27] or wait forgot to do this sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg , will do and reboot and be right back [02:27] holstein, it didn't happen in the guest account. it did happen again when i came back to my account [02:27] zaxius: that wasnt suggested as a fix.. which is why its still like that in your user [02:28] holstein, what wasn't suggested as a fix? [02:28] guys there's not much info on netrunner, I was wondering how do you guys check what services starts up on ubuntu on boot? [02:29] zaxius: i say, if the behavior is not in your guest account, the issue is likely in your users config for ff.. you can move it temporarily, and test.. removing your ff config will set ff back to default [02:29] holstein, ah ok [02:29] argggh that didnt work either [02:30] also how do I tell apt to show me all the packages installed? [02:30] holstein, or i could try disabling add-ons one by one, heh [02:30] why is this such an issue for me with bumblee with every distro except fedora [02:31] zaxius: do what you like.. you know where i think the issue is, and no one is disagreeing.. you can remove the entire config temporarily, test ff, and see for certain that the issue is there.. [02:31] Panther96: its not supported.. they didnt promise linux support on the hardware [02:31] holstein, is it one file i need to move? where is it located? [02:31] zaxius: the config for ff for your user is in your users /home [02:32] zaxius, I would save your bookmarks and move the firefox folder from /home/.config to see what happens that is a full reset. [02:32] ^ no need to delete anything... just move it and test [02:33] Beldar, i don't have a firefox dir in ~/.config/ [02:33] how do I install latest mplayer from testing in ubuntu? [02:33] zaxius, Hmm I do and so does holstein [02:33] Dave: apt-get mplayer [02:34] yes optimus doesnt have an official fix, nevertheless bumblebee shoudl work [02:34] if it works in one distro it has to work on others [02:34] i just dont want to be stuck with Fedora if i can avoid it [02:34] zaxius: its likely mozilla that you seek [02:34] holstein, i looked for that too in .config; nothing. i do have ~/.mozilla/ [02:34] Panther96_: there is no "should" for it.. it would work if they supported it, thats for suer [02:34] sure* [02:35] But it *could* work [02:35] zaxius: thats why i said, its likely mozilla.. and there is no need to delete it.. you can just rename it.. and test.. [02:35] and hence why im on this irc channel asking for help [02:35] Panther96_: no.. it *would* work.. if the provided support [02:35] doing apt-get mplayer doesn't fix a broken mplayer.. [02:35] how do I fix error = mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory [02:35] Panther96_: i personally decided to stop banging my head on that wall.. i had more luck in 12.04 [02:36] holstein, ok, hang on [02:36] holstein, it does work..its a ubuntu issue [02:36] Panther96_: ok [02:36] !vbug [02:36] !bug [02:36] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [02:36] zaxius, You are right, not in .config, I had forgrooten I save the .mozilla folder to load to new install, my mistake. [02:36] Beldar, no worries [02:36] there is some configuration file thats not on by default thats preventing it. I'm on here to ask if anyone of the 1000 people online if they know the trick [02:37] Panther96_: i can say, it doesnt work for me.. [02:37] holstein, yep, starts up fine if i rename .mozilla/ [02:37] Panther96_: have you tried an nvidia support avenue? [02:37] dave: install libgl [02:37] no ill just try this later [02:37] zaxius: so, the issue is in your /home config for ff [02:38] its jsut infurating i cant find a single distro that works for me [02:38] Fedora works lovely except for the fact that its difficult to get software like spotify on it [02:38] Panther96_: you mean, that supports that hardware? [02:38] yep [02:38] haha, i got worried when i did mv .mozilla.bak .mozilla and firefox still started with the default config...i forgot it would have created a new .mozilla directory [02:38] Manjaro i can get that little fix for bumblebee but then i have to deal with incredible screen tearing [02:39] Panther96_, And the support channel is so friendly, lol [02:39] Panther96_: consider a reseller that provides definite support.. system76 for example [02:39] which channel? [02:39] fedora [02:40] at least they help you [02:40] I would disagree but that is an opinion [02:40] lol if you want to see unfriendly try #arch :D [02:41] #archlinux [02:41] Panther96_: you have tried the ppa's for the graphics drivers? the xorg edgers? whatever steam suggests is what i try when troubleshooting [02:41] never had a problem there, I guess it is just our personal experiences [02:41] oh i never did either but while i was on it i witnessed a very nasty fight to say the least === Cypher is now known as Guest1517 [02:42] Panther96_, The ego's go up incrementally per distros that seems to be anorm. ;) [02:43] very true bedlar [02:43] holstein i've tried the ppa repos [02:43] i get so many weird errors idk why ubuntu is using legacy nvidia 304 drivers [02:43] Panther96_: its not a rolling release [02:43] I should know mine is so inflated I have have tie downs so I don't float away Panther96_ ;) [02:44] this whole thing is a mess which is why i dont even know where to begun. It claims virtualgl or whatever doesnt exist primus is out of date but it updates idk [02:44] holstein, well, i re-enabled all my add-ons one by one and the culprit was FireGestures. which i didn't think i had because I also have All-in-One Gestures. so i just removed FireGestures. thanks! [02:44] Panther96_: i just dont use that hardware anymore with those expectations, personally.. [02:44] holstein my friend [02:44] omega9: no install libgl doesn't do anything [02:44] then it tells me something about the bus id [02:45] I fixed my major issue! [02:45] zaxius: enjoy [02:45] what did you mean by steam's instrucitons [02:45] Panther96_: i mean, graphics development is being really pushed by steam, these days.. so, if they say to try something, i do [02:45] !steam [02:45] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [02:45] i managed to somehow take apart my laptop, clean the fan (which was causing my auto shutdowns due to over heating) and now I can run Lubuntu. Which i'm on now! [02:46] Panther96_: otherwise, i dont get to bent out of shape these days on hardware that was just never promised to work with linux.. that dual GPU thing is quite complex for drivers to "fake" [02:46] well if we could buy linux games in the shop that would be great.. don't like the idea of downloading 35GB games [02:46] its not like its completely out of support [02:47] in fact nvidia even supplements bumblebee with the primus system [02:47] I do need help with one thing holstein [02:47] Panther96_: have you tried an nvidia avenue for support? [02:47] in any case gotta go i guess ill be back to figure this out and ya try the nvidia avenue i guess [02:47] im pretty close to just saying f* it and go fedora and just put spotify in wine [02:47] i can't get my wireless do work. i have my proper driver installed. but for some reason it's not working [02:47] Panther96_: im not trying to be comative, here. i literally didnt try working with nvidia in any way with mine [02:47] but we'll say thanks anyways tho [02:48] oh no not you i just gotta go lol and just irritated its the same shit all over again lol [02:48] !langauge | Panther96_ [02:48] Panther96_: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [02:48] Panther96_: try a re-seller where all is supported.. [02:48] would of thought using the #1 distro with thousands of developers would make this trivial thing swork [02:48] holstein you hearing me man? [02:49] Panther96_: its not up to the distro,or operating system.. nothing about ubuntu is preventing it from working [02:49] jay__: just ask.. welcome to the channel [02:50] i can't get my wireless do work. i have my proper driver installed. but for some reason it's not working [02:50] jay__: what "proper driver"? [02:51] i thought you'd be more excited for me holstein. i took apart my pc and cleaned my fan that was causing the overheating and auto shut downs. my hdd and ram were fine all along === Guest12444 is now known as ageis [02:51] my driver b43 [02:51] jay__: we should discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] about me driver? [02:51] my* [02:52] are there any fix it utils for ubuntu if the system breaks? [02:52] jay__: no.. support is fine here.. anyways.. congratulations.. are you seeing wifi access points? [02:52] Dave77: yes [02:52] no. i'm not seeing any wifi access points [02:52] jay__: are you certain the device works? [02:53] not since i put the pc back together [02:53] i know when i typed lshw it was listed [02:53] jay__: thats what i would be testing.. if it were apart, and you unplugged soemting accidentally, it will not be a fix in software that makes it work again [02:54] well i put it in right i'm positive [02:54] otherwise, the OS wouldn't see it right? [02:54] where do i start ? [02:55] how do I fix mplayer if it is broken? won't play audio.. [02:55] jay__: depends.. there are usually wires for antennae.. and who knows what else.. its just that, if it were working, and you disassembled, and reassembled, and its not working, thats where i would be looking.. [02:55] well there isn't much to look at physically [02:55] i already tried changing the posts (for lack of a better term) that the antennae go on [02:55] Dave77: depends.. this is what i would do.. get a known good simple .ogg file that i know plays.. i would test in other players. and see if its *just* mplayer, or if its a certain type of file.. or what exactly is going on [02:56] i switched them around but no luck [02:56] jay__: thats where i would be looking.. is that the case? it was working? and hasnt been since you put it back together? [02:56] right [02:57] it was working before. isn't now. but i double checked the connections already [02:57] and the OS knows it's there [02:57] jay__: there are other things that could have happened during disassembly that software cant address [02:58] oh? like what? [02:58] jay__: ? literally anything, friend.. im talking about a hardware breakage.. anything.. [02:58] hmmm [02:58] jay__: its a tiny motherboard there.. a "daughter board" or whatever.. if you touched it, you could have damaged it [02:58] is there anything i can do software wise to test if things are working properly? [02:59] they are literally a few bucks these days.. and [02:59] are they cheap for laptops? [02:59] jay__: i would fire the thing up in a supported operating system, and see if it works. or, replace it, and see.. or, take it to another machine and test [02:59] jay__: i have a little stack of broadcom ones.. if you were closer, you could have one [03:00] it used to work with this OS. that's nice of you to offer :) [03:00] i don't have another pc i can test it on sorry [03:00] what can i do software testing wise? [03:00] jay__: but, you cant say "it used to work with this OS, something must have changed in the OS" when you had the thing apart.. [03:01] jay__: you *are*.. and its not working. and you think its driver related, and it could be.. but, it also could be off. could be *anything* [03:02] ok let me be more specific. it worked with this OS yesterday. since then, i installed regular ubuntu. then, i took apart the pc today. i reinstalled this OS (Lubuntu) afterwards cause the mouse pad wasn't working. now it does. [03:03] jay__: so, you have done too much at one time to be helpful.. [03:03] jay__: *any* or *all* of that can break the wifi.. [03:03] i was hoping you'd had a specific test for me to do. i just don't have another pc to test it on. it's not recognized in the network software at all. only when i type lshw [03:04] jay__: yes.. test in a supported operating system.. take it to another machine.. install other chip and test. try other live CD's.. [03:04] jay__: if you mark all of those down as "wont/cant do" then, do whatever you like to test [03:04] other live cd's you say. so i can load up something on my USB stick and run it live to test? [03:05] jay__: thats what the step above that i referred to as "thy other live CD's" was specifically referring to [03:05] ok i was just clarifying [03:06] why is there no fancy terminal command to test the wireless card? [03:07] jay__: you said you have already done that, friend.. and the device is not officially supported in linux, so i dont know if you have the driver install, or the proper driver installed.. or whatever [03:08] all i did was type lshw cause someone taught me it [03:08] jay__: have you typed ifconfig? [03:08] i just know from that person how to do that and to tell that the os can see it. it also says the driver is installed. i had to manually search for the b43 package myself so i know it got installed [03:09] no i haven't tried that. i've never heard of it lol [03:10] what does this show me? [03:10] i see my rests but don't know what i'm looking for [03:10] results* [03:10] jay__: networking interfaces... [03:10] !ifconfig [03:10] http://www.tecmint.com/ifconfig-command-examples/ [03:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7714293/ [03:15] here's my results holstein [03:16] jay__: so, thats it [03:17] well what does it mean? [03:17] it's giberish to me [03:17] jay__: makes me think, its not seeing the access points.. like, its not on, or the antannae you have messed with are not working.. or something about the chip.. or driver support.. etc.. i would have to have it in front of me [03:17] jay__: wlan0 should be your wifi.. and you should have lo and eth0? [03:18] i have both yes [03:18] i just showed you that one [03:18] sorry [03:18] i dont need to see more.. im just saying.. [03:18] anyone every configure a ubuntu box for xbmc [03:18] shake_: i just install xbmc [03:19] holstein, it tells me i can't run ifcongif wanl0 up [03:19] jay__: you dont need to do that [03:19] jay__: i mean, you can mess about in there if you like,but, if you havent broken anything, the wifi will just show access points, and you click on them and join [03:20] why can't i be a superuser? it says authentication failed. i know my passwords right. i always use the same one [03:20] jay__: why is that not happening? its not becuase of some command that you havent put in.. [03:20] jay__: you can try "su" and see... [03:20] i guess i need to install it and see what it is [03:20] jay__: but, again... you dont need to run that.. and thats not a fix.. though, you may get helpful feedback.. [03:21] so you think it's not showing the access points (networks right? ) because of a hardware issue? [03:21] shake_: its a mutimedia front-end.. [03:21] i am assuming you still have to have it lookout for providers like netflix hulu and such [03:21] multimedia* === xragnar is now known as Guest27639 === xragnar_ is now known as xragnar [03:21] shake_: "lookout for netflix" ? [03:22] anyways.. xbmc, and ubuntu, and all of linux are open, if hulu or netflix or whoever want to provide support for them === NaStYdoG is now known as Guest81885 [03:22] Earlier today, I had a server running 12.04 go down. Found out that a package got updated that removed firmware for a aic94xx controller. Seems like it got removed from a package for legal reasons, but there was no warning before it removed the firmware. [03:22] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted what does this mean? [03:22] jay__: not sure friend. you are runing commands that, as i said, are not needed for wifi to work, and i wouldnt be using them.. [03:23] so is there nothing i can do then? [03:23] i'm just screwed unless i have another pc to test it on? [03:23] jay__: i made a list above, friend.. you have already done all that? [03:23] the only thing i CAN actually do is boot a live cd and see if that works [03:24] i guess i got the wrong idea about it [03:24] jay__: you tried the live CD you installed from? you tried checking the bios? the keys for on and off? reseated the chip? [03:24] reseated the chips yes. BIOS? you didn't mention. what would i do there? i'll try the live cd [03:24] jay__: you look at *everything*.. [03:24] anyway I can get my RT3290 wifi to work? [03:25] Hypersonic1: i would try http://askubuntu.com/questions/253632/how-do-i-get-a-ralink-rt3290-wireless-card-working if it supported the newer kernels [03:26] is there a software package that could be installed that replicates much of what a smart tv performs but with this the smart side being your linux box withh the software plugged into a non-smart tv [03:26] it seems like I have done this already. [03:26] make sense? [03:26] shake_: try xbmc.. otherwise, i wouldnt expect to replicate what a specific appliance that is quite expensive does with a piece of software like that.. [03:27] Hypersonic1: seems like? [03:27] the wifi is slow, and it disconnects. Then I have to restart. I don't know why this is still not fixed [03:27] I have installed the drivers, and it does not seem to fix anything [03:28] holstein, what would i be looking for in the BIOS related to a wireless card? [03:29] http://pastebin.com/xwjSTdb7 [03:29] jay__: i would be, as i said, looking in the bios for literally anything, friend.. ideally, wifi related [03:29] Hypersonic1: its not fixed because the support is not provided for the device it seems [03:29] ok but i didn't think the wifi had any mention of the wireless card. i'll look though [03:29] Hypersonic1: have you tried 14.04? just a live CD? to see if it "just works" ? [03:29] I don't know how some people are able to get it working though. [03:30] yes, I am using 14.04 [03:30] Hypersonic1: if you are not certain you are using the vendors module, i would make certain [03:30] I tried this in 13.04 a year ago, and it still didn't work [03:30] holstein, I got a bit confused by that page, but thank you I saw a suggestion on there that worked (removing the DVD menus allowed me to watch the full eps) [03:31] what module? [03:31] holstein, thank you for the help yesteday [03:31] Sunstream: sure.. enjoy! [03:31] i figured there would be a way to turn a computer into the smart system for a standard tv allowing you to customize it to search for media via ftp servers on LAN, Netflix, Hulu, and etc with a graphical interface started up on boot [03:31] Hypersonic1: the vendor supplied module that you stated "it seems i did this". but, you should make sure you are using that module [03:32] shake_: its the type of smart system you are looking for, though.. we are not given suppor for the things you are wanting.. [03:32] lsmod |grep rt3290 [03:32] rt3290sta 1170520 0 [03:32] ? [03:33] shake_: plex, xbmc, really, just any pc connected to a machine can give you streaming abilities.. but, what are you wanting to watch? is it something proprietary that doesnt support linux? if so, you have to use what they support [03:33] 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? [03:33] Hypersonic1: i would read the link, see what the module is from the manufacturer, install it, and make sure im using it [03:34] I did read that. it's the rt3290sta [03:34] I went through that same process already [03:34] Hypersonic1: for your chip? from the manufacturer? [03:35] I got it from a dropbox link [03:35] it should be the right one [03:35] Hypersonic1: i mean, if they make a driver for you, id try it.. and i'll try the windows one too.. but these days, when hardware like that is like $8US, i dont usually deal with things that arent plug and play.. its just too easy to get things that actually support linux [03:35] is ubuntu tv much like xbmc [03:35] I want to use the built in one [03:36] Hypersonic1: i'll change the built in ones.. thats what i was referencing.. i mean, you were never promised linux support.. so all is working as intended here [03:36] no because the wifi isn't working :( [03:36] Hypersonic1: it can be frustrating. but, i wouldnt expect support to get better for it.. i would try the windows driver in ndis.. === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [03:37] Hypersonic1: you were not promised the wifi would work in linux [03:37] what a shame, it works in Windows out of the box [03:38] Any ideas on what might be setting vm.dirty_ratio at startup? [03:40] I don't have access to a USB wifi device, and I don't want to wait for one to be delivered. It looks like I may have to return to Windows [03:40] Hypersonic1: but, you were promised it would work in windows.. the company provided a driver for windows.. and they are welcome to provide one for linux [03:41] but the manufacturer I thought provides one [03:41] Hypersonic1: ask them for it [03:41] Hypersonic1: email them, and see if you can get something *not* from a random dropbox link, but, from the company.. [03:42] that's going to be difficult probably [03:43] After experimenting I now know how to start the dvd now [03:43] Hypersonic1: it would be ideal coming from them, but, thats not the manufacturer of the hardware.. they make the chip.. AFAIK [03:44] quit [03:44] they have the RT3290 PCIe on their download page [03:45] but I doubt it will work anyway [03:45] it may be the same one I tried [03:45] Hypersonic1: if its not for your hardware, or chip, then, it wont work [03:45] then how would I know if it is for my hardware or chip? [03:45] Hypersonic1: they can rev the chip, and all they have to do is what they promised.. provide a windows driver [03:45] Hypersonic1: i would ask them [03:46] and that would be difficult probably [03:46] Hypersonic1: probably? i mean.. its the folks you can definitively help you [03:46] Hypersonic1: all of linux is open for them to access and support.. all of ubuntu .. [03:47] and yet there is such terrible support [03:47] * Sunstream boggles at the sheer amount of the oddest nicks that visit here. [03:47] my ethernet works flawlessly, but not wifi [03:48] Hypersonic1: consider doing what you have done, accept for ubuntu next time. a reseller that sells the operating system you are wanting to use, instead of windows.. something lke system76 or another linux reseller [03:50] maybe I should get a USB stick, I just have to wait for it to be delivered [03:51] what would be the most compatible one? [03:51] Hypersonic1: one thats states and it supports linux if you can find one [03:52] Hypersonic1: i could say, or we could read about one that works, but if the chipset changes, even same model numbers can work in linux in one case, and not in another [03:52] what do i do? i'll take my machine and test in the store..or make sure i can return them [03:55] how do I bring the bookmarks button back in Firefox? That's another bug that has been with Ubuntu for several versions. [03:56] Hypersonic1: i dont think thats a bug, friend.. i think thats been hidden til you want to show it [03:56] Hypersonic1: that is not a bug, but a feature [03:56] but you can't show it. I know because I have tried [03:56] Hypersonic1: there are firefox addons for that, try ##firefox [03:56] unless you disable the unity menu I think [03:56] Hypersonic1: i see it listed as an addon.. have you tried adding it on? [03:57] Hypersonic1: you think? [03:57] So, what password manager do y'all use in the Linux world? [03:57] yes, I tried that before. I wonder why it still has not been fixed [03:57] Hypersonic1: regardless, i wouldnt look at that as a bug, but something you can address and add funcionality for if you like [03:57] Hypersonic1: its nothing to fix.. its not broken [03:57] A_Pickle: passwords stored on browsers? [03:58] A_Pickle: i just use lastpass.. though its a bit offtopic here. try a security channel [03:58] if you open the customize toolbar window, you cannot add the bookmarks tool [03:58] it will not show up, but other tools will [03:59] Hypersonic1: have you tried https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994277 ? === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:00] yes, that is what I was talking about. I am wondering why we would still have to do that. They need to write to customize Firefox for Ubuntu [04:00] they?

Does anyone know what my problem might be? [04:02] foxygrandpa: you installed grub on the stick? what mulitboot menu? the bios? [04:04] holstein: sorry I don't understand what you mean by grub. It's not the try ubuntu version that's on my usb. I installed the OS, it takes about 7gb. Yeah the bios. [04:06] !grub [04:06] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:07] foxygrandpa: i would just make sure you are trying to boot the device that you have a bootloader on [04:08] foxygrandpa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for example would let you install grub on the stick, which is what i would do.. but, you should be cautious, and have data backed up, and understand how to restort all boot loaders, for windows or whatever else [04:09] holstein: Okay I'll try that, thank you [04:09] ubottu: Thanks, I'll read that too [04:09] foxygrandpa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:10] hey i just installed the basic ubuntu iso off of the site on my machine.. left it a few days.. and now i cant figure out what the default package manager gui app is .. or how to open it [04:10] im trying to figure out how to uninstall something i dont need anymore [04:10] !info apt-get | michaelgamble [04:10] michaelgamble: Package apt-get does not exist in trusty [04:10] michaelgamble: its not really like windows though, where, removing an app would potentiallly gain speed..

[04:11] to uninstall.. [04:11] no worries i figured it out [04:11] i got confused by the ui [04:12] the ubuntu software centre is what i was looking for [04:12] but it was a different ui for software updates [04:12] michaelgamble: Ok there you go. [04:12] with a different icon [04:12] i think its just my friday brain [04:12] was trying to uninstall teamviewer [04:12] michaelgamble: Yep [04:13] such a shitty app [04:13] michaelgamble: Ok, well let us know if we can help with anything else. [04:13] Hey while im here, is thier a way to have a pc schedule both shutdown and startups? [04:14] michaelgamble: Yes [04:14] michaelgamble cron jobs ... [04:14] how / what is the best way [04:14] is thier anything with a gui? [04:14] michaelgamble: startup if you have wake-on lan interface [04:14] i want to modify an existing debian package and add some patches to it: in the debian/ directory there is that rules file: when i add an patch/ directory to the debian/ directory which command in the rules file applies those patches? [04:14] hmm.. how do you determine that [04:15] michaelgamble: https://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan [04:16] michaelgamble: Not sure what you really want to do, only you know that, so... [04:16] hi. in system monitor firefox is taking up 5.7gb ram and 50% cpu. is there a way of finding out why? [04:16] basicly i want my machine to have a boot schedule so its not always on sucking hyudro [04:16] Adriannom: Run it from terminal [04:17] its a media / download / other automated tasks machine [04:17] vfw, if i close it down and run it again it won't be hogging stuff i suspect, but i should run it from terminal and wait for it to clog up again? [04:21] Adriannom: like most browsers, it's poorly authored :) [04:21] although disabling rogue 3rd party plugin support might help [04:21] also, unused memory is wasted memory [04:21] http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [04:22] 6/8gb usage is a bit much for a web browser. most people complaining about this on google are saying it's taking up 500mb ;) [04:23] but it's got to be a memory leak right? [04:23] now that ff is restarted it's only (lol) taking up 400mb [04:24] mines only taking up 282mb [04:24] ahh.. sorry , that was webserver.. [04:25] Depends on the threads for the browser.. firefox uses way more ram than it should, but it confines the threads into one process [04:26] does nobody do scheduled machine on and offs to save power? [04:26] it seems like an obscure topic online [04:27] !info preload | Adriannom [04:27] Adriannom: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (trusty), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB [04:27] Adriannom: did you cleanout firefox buffer cache yet? [04:28] Adriannom: also doublecheck cache folder on firefox if its full, and disabled unwanted addons [04:31] lotuspsychje, tried disabling all addons to little effect. cache is using 350mb of disk space, i just cleared that. [04:31] Adriannom: does other browsers lag on you like this? [04:31] michaelgamble: you can automatically sleep/suspend/hibernate your box after intervals of idle time [04:32] michaelgamble: and wake-on-lan it on-demand :) [04:32] yeah but thats me initating a wake from another machine right? [04:32] lotuspsychje, on certain machine chrome can freeze up and such, but nothing like ff [04:32] michaelgamble: there's always another machine, but that's correct [04:32] i want to create scheduled on and off [04:32] *machines [04:32] michaelgamble: many BIOSes can schedule wakeup, too [04:33] but you can get a low power always-on single-board computer like a raspberry pi for $25 [04:33] is this an unusual thing to do? [04:33] or just wake from your mobile phone [04:33] michaelgamble: it is and it isn't [04:33] michaelgamble: why do you want to turn it on? [04:33] michaelgamble: depends on the equipment you have.. [04:33] im trying to do it for automated timed events [04:33] michaelgamble: like what? [04:33] Adriannom: how much ram you have? [04:33] lotuspsychje, 8gb [04:33] basicly i have some automation scripts using the MIT sikuli script that i want to run maybe a few times a day [04:34] michaelgamble: check your BIOS [04:34] otherwise i dont want the machine sucking hydro [04:34] michaelgamble: but wake-on-lan is probably the sanest approach [04:34] Adriannom: try set buffer cache to 0 on firefox settings, so it uses your ram [04:34] hydro? :) [04:34] power consumption [04:34] $$$ [04:34] doesn't hydro mean water? :) [04:34] tryin to be a bit greener and leaner [04:34] Adriannom: also try the swappiness tweak to 10 instead of default 60 [04:34] network.buffer.cache.size ? [04:34] michaelgamble: but, machines that do what you want may cost more [04:35] Adriannom: yes [04:35] michaelgamble: there are *very* low powerer machines now, as well.. [04:35] most machines for the past many years do wake on lan [04:36] so i just found this stuff about RTC [04:37] looks like it might be good enough for what i want [04:37] michaelgamble: if i wanted to do scheduled on of like that, it would likely be pre-os [04:37] i think this does hibernate / wakeup events with RTC.. might be good enough [04:38] <|inux> I installed fallback and I only intend on using the metacity version... Can I uninstall compiz? [04:38] but, i would just get a low-powered machine, and leave it on.. and intel nuc, for example. a machine that would use a lot less power [04:38] |inux: you can, but its really not saving resources to remove it.. if you are not using it [04:39] Wazzzzzzzzzzzuuuuuup? [04:39] joshumax: :) [04:39] lotuspsychje, done [04:39] <|inux> holstein, thank you.... I had my ubuntu 14.04 lock on me due to compiz... and if possible I do not want to have to go through command line apt-get h*ll again [04:40] joshumax ubuntu support. ask your question. [04:40] Anyone have any major problems with their Ubuntu install today? [04:40] :P [04:40] intel nuc is a reallllly expensive low power machine :p [04:40] Usually I try to answer questions, not ask them [04:40] raspberry pi is like 6 times cheaper [04:40] !details|joshumax [04:40] joshumax: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [04:40] |inux: are you using compiz? if not, its not running, and wont do anything.. remove it if you like [04:40] reisio, isn't it more powerful than rpi? [04:41] you should be able to wake-on-lan with just a router, though [04:41] Adriannom: yup, but power isn't really something you need to send a packet [04:41] <|inux> holstein, I decided to load metacity so I am not running it right now... Since I can remove it, I probably will. Thank you for the info! [04:41] especially if you need to send the packet to... wake up a powerful machine [04:41] reisio, ah, i missed the context [04:42] lotuspsychje, what now? [04:42] IMO the only use case for the current intel single board computer offerings is to avoid non-x86 issues (mostly, to make using netflix crap easier) [04:42] Adriannom: well that should lighter up your firefox use..are you updated fully also? [04:43] even then I think you can get a cheaper amd64 from say pcengines.com/et al. [04:44] lotuspsychje, fairly up to date, i'll make sure though. google tells me dynamic swappiness is safer... does this tweak come with any potential problems? [04:44] I listen to internet radio using VLC player. But when screen gets locked due to inactivity, sound stops playing... ? (untill re-logged in). It is 14.04LTS 64bit, upgraded from 13.10 [04:44] Adriannom: if you have 8gig ram, you will handle swappiness tweak fine [04:45] lotuspsychje, ok thanks :) [04:45] ff running at 1gb ram already :/ [04:45] Adriannom: install that preload app also i pasted you [04:46] can anyone help resolve this error: http://imgur.com/lQ7739g [04:47] npm start error. I’ve install all node.js === sasasasa is now known as bluezone_ [04:49] is thier a good gui based cron majiger [04:50] lotuspsychje, ok thanks. presumably i will not see results immediately? do you think this will address ff hogging 6gb? or is there some other goal here? [04:51] Adriannom: what ubuntu version your on? [04:52] lotuspsychje, saucy [04:52] michaelgamble: maybe, but the plain crontab is pretty simple... [04:53] Adriannom: if firefox would eat 6gig ram on me, i would reinstall ubuntu immediatly...try 14.04 clean [04:53] absurd [04:53] you don't reinstall an OS over a single app [04:53] reisio agreed. purge firefox and reinstall [04:54] that sounds like a much better idea [04:54] lotuspsychje, that's so windows solution of a problem :P Maybe he just have many FF windows open after restarting FF. Maybe managing FF itself would be better [04:54] but I wouldn't necessarily expect uninstalling something and reinstalling it the same way to yield a different result, either [04:55] installing ubuntu clean is always beter to take away leftovers [04:55] we dont know what happened to his system [04:56] being informed is always better [04:56] reinstalling blindly like you're stuck on Windows is a good way to waste time [04:56] One can actually manage it's firefox, clean cache, close all window tabs and windows on restart, clean cookies, check what addons are installed , etc. check what is using RAM with top (and M to sort) [04:56] nikolam: ive been all tru this with him, but at the end??if firefox eats 6gig ram... [04:56] also use pstree to see what activates what [04:57] lotuspsychje, so you are sure it is him? used top with M to sort processes and so? [04:57] i wouldnt trust my browser when it uses so much ram [04:58] lotuspsychje: trust it?... [04:58] lotuspsychje, note that 6gb was after a few days of it being open. when i restarted ff it was 600mb with 1 tab and 1gb with all the previous tabs open [04:58] Adriannom: are you up to date with upgrades? [04:58] Adriannom: whats your firefox version? [04:58] 30.0 [04:58] info firefox saucy [04:58] !info firefox saucy [04:59] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 30.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.10.3 (saucy), package size 35728 kB, installed size 75743 kB [04:59] Adriannom, maybe that is normal with occasional memory leaking in some on-page javascript or something. Or App itself was leaking memory [04:59] holstein, i just updated a few packages now [04:59] Adriannom: what other tweaks have you done? swappiness? anything else in ff? [04:59] lend me 3gb of your ram and I'll have 6gb to compare with your situation :p [04:59] nikolam, ok, seems excessive to me but i guess things have got bloated over time huh :| [05:00] heheh [05:00] Adriannom: i might fire up a live CD, and hammer on ff like that.. see if its your config, or at lease try and isolate [05:00] holstein, cache buffer size = 0 [05:00] Adriannom, post a bug report using ubuntu-bug in time you encounter large ram usage, explaining what web pages stayed open during that time of ram inflation. [05:01] Adriannom purge all your .mozilla files from /home and test FF ??? [05:01] holstein: i suggested him: swappiness 10,network buffer 0,preload,cleaning cache folder FF [05:01] you just need launchpad account to post bugs [05:01] you can just rename .mozilla.bak or whatever.. for a tes [05:01] test* [05:02] nikolam, ok [05:02] yup, maybe some addon or profile thing [05:02] cfhowlett, will do [05:02] oh right, yeah, i'll rename [05:03] Also Adriannom apps use RAM if it is otherwise not used, to speed things up. Also referrign RAM does not mean that app is using all of it, there are 2 colums in top. [05:03] im probably going to kicked for asking this.. but a bash script is simply a file with a .sh extension?? (its been ages since ive done it) [05:04] By default, also Linux do memory overcommit, that could be changed if affecting some apps being killed because some other app is ram crazy and eats ram plus swap [05:04] cfhowlett, holstein, i renamed .mozilla and ran ff, looks like a fresh install, sitting at the google homepage, taking 1gb ram [05:04] nikolam, ok... that makes it... deceptive [05:05] nikolam, however when ff was using 6gb it was moving like a snail [05:05] Adriannom what the heck kind of plugins did you have?? [05:05] really long graphics refreshes etc. [05:06] cfhowlett, it was 1gb on first start before the rename [05:06] Adriannom, sounds like something was leaking memory and used SWAP [05:06] nikolam, so you're thinking probably a site? [05:07] !lvm [05:07] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:07] Can someone help resolve “could not connect to RPC API!” error [05:07] just so i'm clear here, is 1gb ram on a fresh ff boot standard? [05:07] Adriannom: how many tabs? [05:07] 1 [05:08] it's fresh [05:08] literally [05:08] Adriannom, apps use RAM if it is unused. to speed things up. but many tabs open plus long time FF open, could be sites scripts/flash doing something (Use Noscript, flashblock) of FF itself leaking etc. [05:08] only current addon is ubuntu mods [05:08] nikolam, so that's a yes? [05:09] Adriannom, I could only suppose FF uses RAM relative to RAM available to system, ask Mozilla guys. [05:09] ah, good thought [05:10] I would like him to use it, to speed things up.. [05:10] make your life easy and reinstall ubuntu 14.04 clean [05:11] well i have a wealth of information to work from now, thanks lotuspsychje, nikolam, cfhowlett, holstein, reisio :) [05:11] Adriannom happy2help [05:11] or better xubuntu, since it will use less RAM and comes without default spyware in Ubuntu leaking to Amazon, etc. [05:12] i'm using flashback [05:12] couldn't dig xfce [05:12] i did try it for a while [05:12] default spyware?! [05:13] is this chat room about ASg firewall ? [05:13] what's wrong with xfce Adriannom . It is only one that you can manage how you like [05:13] nikolam, i can't remember the particulars, i guess i was too used to gnome 2 [05:13] ubuntu-studio this is ubuntu support [05:13] Sunstream, yeah, yeah, some people say that leaking user personal data in Ubuntu to external sites & IP address consists of what spyware usually do... [05:14] Which is more user friendly, Clonzilla or FSArchiver? [05:14] Adriannom, I am on xfce from 2006 onward. It is only sane solution right now to get normal desktop if one wants to avoid Unity problems [05:14] list [05:14] I know what spyware is, What I do not get is default install of Ubuntu has spyware? [05:14] nikolam, i avoid unity with gnome-flashback [05:14] amzolt depends on the user, right? try both [05:15] Sunstream, search google for articles on that. [05:15] !nolens|Sunstream this is a religious debate related to the ubuntu lenses. [05:15] Sunstream, sad state of affairs right? [05:15] gotcha, cf [05:15] Sunstream, Ubuntu does it by default. One can change it in Unity, but.. it is still default. [05:16] Sunstream you can disable lens or you can use a non-unity desktop environment - or use one of the other flavors [05:16] I installed lubuntu because Unity was too demanding [05:16] cfhowlett, I wouldn't call leaking personal searches and one's IP to 3rd party by default any more religious then wanting to make more money by Canonical. [05:17] nikolam agree to disagree - happily alternatives abound. [05:17] Sunstream, yeah and i like xubuntu even better , lubuntu IS lowest demanding desktop, that is right. [05:17] yeah it's pretty straightforward. follow the money. it need not be religious if you do that [05:18] It works best for me. [05:18] cfhowlett, well, I don't recommend to anyone to use Unity because of default leaking settings. Simply, I can sleep well if i don't. Hopefully, ubuntu respins are OK and use same software. [05:18] 512 MiB ram with a celery chip [05:19] !flavors | nikolam I've been deliriously happy with ubuntustudio for years [05:19] nikolam I've been deliriously happy with ubuntustudio for years: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [05:19] my opinion is that 512MB is to low even for one FF session with few tabs (used to use it on EEEPC 701 and it is not pleasant) [05:20] Sunstream lubuntu is optimized for low/older specification hardware. [05:20] cfhowlett, is studio still alive? I heard it stopped releasing?? [05:20] Nods. like mine [05:21] and Xubuntu is just one step ahead of it, with xfce also using GTK like GNOME, but with less RAM [05:21] nikolam *BLASPHEMY* :) It's been a regular release since 2007. current version is 14.04 [05:21] !studio | nikolam [05:21] nikolam: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [05:21] cfhowlett, ok, sorry :P what was with those news, then about it? [05:21] yeah i also heard ubuntu studio stopped [05:21] Adriannom nikolam well, there was the change from gnome to XFCE [05:22] and that there were methods for installing the packages instead [05:22] i use it on my dj machine, can't see how it would be good unless you're doing audio/video work though [05:22] ah cfhowlett nice, didn't know that. Is that then another crew managing it. Dunno why then they would put up info on Net of stopping it. === elrornxsykfqrgfc is now known as ybbxcpamjkupexhj === ybbxcpamjkupexhj is now known as sepero [05:23] I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 its older heh celery chip Xubuntu will likely work [05:23] So I found out that fglrx legacy drivers only work with Ubuntu 12.04.1 and prior. Is there any way to get 12.04.1? [05:23] nikolam people come and go just like all FOSS projects [05:23] cfhowlett, then someone malicious putter that news of stopping ubuntu studio or something else happed. [05:24] nikolam could be FUD ... [05:24] probably just people changed their mind or something [05:24] This system runs better than the default OS (XP) that was on i [05:24] t [05:24] Where should I add "xset m 20/12 0" so that it applies automatically at boot? [05:24] Sunstream, plus ubuntu is actually currently supported ;) [05:25] That too [05:25] Er does anyone know where on earth I could find it? [05:25] Geekybound, it depend on linux kernel supported by closed fglrx driver. Linux does n ot offer binary compatibility between kernels (that is why some things are recompiled during closed driver install) and you need to check AMD wiki for hardware support [05:25] less viruses on Linux as well despite it being open source [05:25] anyone know how to make my current server raid 1? I recently bought a new harddrive and my current setup has lvm [05:25] Yeah I understand, but I'm trying to get the proprietary fglrx legacy and it only works on 12.04.1 and I can't find it anywhere [05:26] !raid | morenoh152 [05:26] morenoh152: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:26] Geekybound, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page , http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware or use open driver. [05:26] morenoh152 might want to see the #ubuntu-server channel [05:27] cfhowlett: thnx [05:27] Geekybound, if you use older AMD graphics, you are at a mercy of a AMD that produces fglrc closed drivers. Nvidia have much longer proprietary driver support for their graphics. On the other hand, Open drivers for Radeons are much better for Linux. [05:27] Well AMD really sucks then. [05:28] Strange how Linux has very little viruses afaik. I think Mac has more [05:28] Geekybound, not if you use LTS anyway and want to use it for some years and you change machine after that period, anyway. And Open drivers catch up. [05:29] * nikolam would like to see reports of actuall ways of spreading Linunx viruses [05:29] I would use the open drivers but they make Minecraft run abhorrently. [05:29] I really just am looking for 12.04.1 LTS [05:29] the iso or torrent for it. [05:30] Maybe because programs repositories used are mostly open source, and checked and build from source and users are generally with a bit more brains then average users on other platforms (not running every .exe one finds) [05:31] The closed amd legacy drivers stopped being supported after 12.04.1 [05:31] Geekybound, repoert it as a bug if running 14.04. (for Open drivers), check that hardware support page. Why using old LTS, when there is new one? [05:31] well that is for your graphics hardware then. [05:31] what it is, btw? [05:32] ati mobillity radeon hd 2600 [05:32] Geekybound http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [05:33] Geekybound, sqweek at AMD or Open drivers or older Linux. Or change hardware/graphics. [05:34] The hardware...can't be switched...its in a laptop [05:34] You could change a GPU in a laptop but it would have to be the exact same hardware [05:36] I'm having a bit of an issue with boot time after upgrading to 14.04. It takes about 1:30 - 1:45 to boot to login screen, and then another 2:00 after logging in to be able to open a program. I've looked at my dmesg log, and the biggest jump (other than right after mounting hdd) involves plymouth. [05:37] Geekybound, they say open driver improove.. so after 12.04 is not usable for you anymore.. change laptop or use open drivers. [05:37] short time fglrx support window is why I am not buying AMD integrated graphics anymore. Unless they work fine with Open drivers. [05:38] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning [05:38] So the consences is that "no one uses linux so no reason to write viruses" hmm it seems to be slowly changing (the no one using part) [05:38] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (2053) terminated with status 1 [05:38] 12.04 is supposedly supported on Desktop untill 26 April 2017, so you are lucky if you can say so. [05:40] Sunstream, no, one can not put viruses easy in default Linux distribution building process. Because source code is visible. Distribution maker needs to be malicious and put 'features' against users for that. (Like Unity default spying settings). Or user needs to be very ignorant and use external binaries from various sites. [05:41] hellopat, I have a bluetooth headset, bose A2ew, I can connect to ubuntu but no sound [05:41] new to lxle === qwerty is now known as Guest85370 [05:42] no matter I choose what output, do you know how to make this headset work? [05:43] ouyes, you ask producer for Linux support? Or use another headset that works out of the box. Then search on google for model and problems of other users. [05:44] I found 12.04.1 [05:44] ouyes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/203272/no-a2dp-streaming-audio-from-12-04-to-bluetooth-headset [05:44] perhaps, but I see more and more people migrating to linux (thanks partly to Ubuntu's user friendly enviroment) but it is possible to get it to happen. But the main reason that these black hat coders whos ill intent is to infect computers aim at Windows more because CORPORATIONS use it and that seems to be a huge incentive to these writers. [05:46] I'm confused how to set up zrle encoding by default with ssvncviewer. I always have to hit f8 and enable zrle (which is much faster than Tight). I tried passing the option -encodings zrle but it didn't work [05:46] Sunstream, there are no reasons not to have viruses on Linux actually. All is there. Only production process of distributions (free open software) and users habits make it different. [05:46] nikolam Sunstream interesting discussion but more suited to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. [05:47] I agree [05:47] cfhowlett, I agree I will take it to off topic [05:48] Sunstream such cooperation is a rare breath of fresh air! TYVM! [05:48] join me in there nikolam [05:48] np [05:49] yeah Sunstream this channel is for Ubuntu support. [05:50] That is, I wonder why sounds stops playing if my screen gets locked. [05:51] I would think that it would be because of the feature most people who lock their screens do not want their box squawking. [05:52] causative: try using the option "-scale auto" According to the man page, zrle should automatically be selected when scaling is detected. [05:52] well if you listen to the radio.. [05:52] where can I ask about x11vnc? [05:53] dejavou42, nah I figured it out, I was trying to put it into the "extra command line options" box in the ssvnc configuration but actually I just needed to type it into the "encodings" box right above it [05:54] thanks though [05:54] np [05:54] what about it DJJeff? [05:55] dejavou42, is there an option to black out the display on the server side [05:55] for power saving purpose [05:58] DJJeff: it doesn't look like it can be easily done http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/x11vnc-black-out-host's-screen-604167/ [05:58] Hey anyone here framiliar with rtcwake commands? [05:58] i cant figure out whats wrong with my bash script http://pastebin.com/1txA6PnN [05:58] anyone feel like taking a peak to see what i may be doing wrong [05:59] dejavou42, thanks for checking [05:59] Hi all [05:59] DJJeff: you could ssh into the box, that would keep the display black [05:59] but even if there was a black out option, it wouldn't save power as the monitor would still be active [06:00] damn [06:01] i disable "Cursor Blinking" in All Settings -> Keyboard [06:01] only temp solution I will use (as its just my laptop) is just turn the laptop brightness way down [06:01] but the cursor in unity dash is still blinking [06:01] what are you trying to do remotely? [06:02] you should be able to turn off the display with xset or the like [06:02] how do you make a partition extended with gparted? [06:02] or your DE's power manager frontend [06:02] morenoh152: it's a "type" [06:02] morenoh152: not much point in making a partition that type, however :) [06:03] well my main drive has /dev/sda2 - extended /dev/sda5 - lvm [06:03] I need to reproduce that on a clean drive [06:03] in order to raid them [06:03] you can dump a partition layout with sfdisk [06:04] sfdisk -d /dev/sdFOO [06:05] man page has usage [06:06] but :) [06:06] it's unlikely you're using raid properly [06:06] most people think of it as a way to make your data redundant [06:06] but it's really more about making access to that data redundant [06:06] which is the best virus scanner for Linux AVG? [06:06] that is: raid is good for access, and awful for backup [06:06] !virus | Sunstream [06:06] Sunstream: clamav is fine [06:06] Sunstream: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:06] reisio: yeah. I'm trying to move my current setup to raid but most tuts have you setup raid from the outset [06:07] you also have to distinguish between Android, which uses Linux, and is made by infants [06:07] and GNU/Linux, which uses Linux and GNU, and is mature and stable and secure [06:07] morenoh152: I doubt you want raid :) [06:08] reisio: lol yes I do. I bought two 1tb hdds and I've wanted to raid them for a while [06:08] raid is great for people who make money on redundant -access-, enough money to buy hundreds of disks for a single set of data [06:08] and awful for most everyone else [06:08] morenoh152: I think you want to mirror them [06:08] raid is something else [06:08] it has a mirror by coincidence, that's not really its purpose [06:08] reisio: raid 1 is mirroring [06:08] it's bad mirroring :) [06:08] is there a better mirroring solution? [06:08] it's mirroring for the sake of access speed, and not for the sake of keeping your data safe [06:09] yeah, look into lsyncd [06:09] or just a daily cron job with rsync [06:09] or even rdiff-backup (also uses rsync) to save space, potentially [06:09] So in other words I do not really need a scanner. Okay [06:09] Sunstream: not strictly, at the moment, nope [06:09] clamav takes up very little space and is useful, though [06:10] Sunstrestream YMMV ... you might wish to enable firewall though [06:10] !ufw [06:10] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [06:10] nice to run files you mean to pass to Windows users through it [06:10] it is a good idea to scan your system if you share files between windows systems sunstream [06:10] I have a firewall built-in my router.

[06:54] Does anyone here know what is responsible for creating directories under /media for mounting removable media as a user? [06:55] it is formatted it's an LVM volume. In my file manager I see 908 GB available. I have to be running /dev/sda2,/dev/sda5 as / [06:56] Because it doesn't fix the permissions on the directory if they are wrong, like after changing the UID of a user that has already mounted a usb thumb drive.

[06:57] autofs, like the autmounter? [06:57] no I was being a smart@ss with the ubuntu answer [06:57] like the same thing that mounts nfs volumes on demand? [06:58] well, really any volume type [06:58] for those following my questions fstab has: [06:58] rat_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [06:58] morenoh152: please don't paste fstab in this channel [06:58] morenoh152: please use a pastebin [07:00] morenoh152: to use rsync you have to mount the partition. [07:02] you can't mount the partition if it has not been formated. [07:02] I am prety sure autofs has nothing to do with /media [07:03] udisks looks like a candidate [07:07] rat_ what are you trying to do? [07:15] Hi, I've try to control my processess, just discovered cron, but don't understand what I've read enough. How to remove the cron-program save ? [07:16] Hi [07:16] anyone know how to mount an LVM volume? pvs is listing the partition but it has not volumeGroup listed [07:16] dejavou42, I changed the UID of a user, and they were unable to read an inserted thumbdrive. [07:17] hi [07:17] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1335384 [07:17] Ubuntu bug 1335384 in udisks2 (Ubuntu) "udisks does not update permissions on /media/ directory after uid change" [Undecided,New] [07:18] dejavou42, I just filed that bug [07:18] rat_ : is the thumb drive mounting? [07:18] yep [07:19] How to get in channel #ubuntu-beginners ? [07:19] it's mounting into /media/rat, like expected. [07:19] can you access the thumbdrive from "sudo nautilus"? [07:19] e3d3, Merged with this one a while back. [07:19] But rat had no permissions, because the ACLs on /media/rat were wrong. [07:19] Beldar, thanks [07:20] np [07:20] You can see the exact ACLs in the bug. [07:20] sudo chown -R rat /media/rat ? [07:21] dejavou42, I could have done that, but that doesn't appear to be what udisks would have created. [07:21] udisks2 creates a directory /media/ owned by root:root with and extra ACL of user::rwx [07:21] Just like is shown in the bug. [07:22] excuse me, I mean user::r-x [07:23] okay. the answer was I was using LVM. So /dev/sda5 is mounted using some mapper. More to the point - in order to mount a new lvm volume you need `vgextend` http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/addpvstovg.html [07:24] now I don't know if I also need to add this to fstab or what happens on reboot [07:26] rat_ from what I am seeing, after reboot, the user should change automatically when the thumbdrive was reconnected [07:26] Didn't happen. [07:26] hmm that is odd [07:26] The directory was the same as before the reboot. [07:27] I looked at the ACL before a reboot and rebooted to see if that would fix it. [07:27] It did not. [07:27] It seems that udisks2 just doesn't modify the directory if it already exists. [07:27] I don't know that for sure, as I haven't looked at the code. [07:28] However, that was the behavior I saw in this case. [07:31] dejavou42, thanks for helping me find the info [07:32] I didn't really help, I kind of led you down the wrong path... [07:32] dejavou42, sometime a wrong path is better than no path [07:33] I found the right place due to seeing the wrong path in this case. :) [07:34] gotta run, later [07:35] * tao999 hello [07:52] yep still gotta add it to fstab [07:52] read the whole docs on lvm. Now I grok it [08:00] anyone there to help ? [08:01] hello? someone there? [08:02] Nope. [08:02] But you can still just ask. Someone might walk in!

[08:13] ikonia: taskwarrior & zsh bug [08:13] koell: then log a bug against your current package [08:13] koell: do you know if 5.0.5 fixes the bug ?

I can't answer you, sorry. [09:50] ok [09:50] but would there be drivers maybe? [09:50] make sure your touchpad is clean first [09:50] real clean [10:03] ubuntu needs "last known working configuration " built in [10:04] XWindows lets you save sessions [10:04] im sure you could add "last known working config" to the boot menu, somehow... [10:05] heh [10:05] ill try editing the boot menu, and see what happens... [10:05] kam270: That's why the bootloader retains previous kernel versions when the kernel is updated, so you boot the previous kernel version in the event of some problem [10:06] but if there's anything Android has taught us, there's more to the system than the kernel [10:06] i got the scope of the problem wrong, then? [10:06] doesn't matter :) [10:06] But, it depends on what, precisely, is no longer working. The kernel may be fine but some userspace issue, or hardware configuration change, could be causing the issue [10:07] Can't you use a restore disk? [10:07] im using timeshift to make a copy of my home and / . I can revert back if something goes wrong . but nothing in the boot menu [10:07] This is why we have 'recovery' mode in the boot menu, and can manually edit kernel command-line options to aid in recovering a broken system [10:07] Does the Dash use the "Keywords" i define in a .desktop file when i search for an application? [10:09] kam270: Well, that's an issue for the timeshift developers. [10:09] Hi siltaar_ [10:11] yeah but we need the last known working config in the boot menu . reverting back kernels doesnt seem enough [10:12] and this would make us more brave to make changes without fear that you cant get back [10:12] theres no "config" like windows has, so that will never be an option [10:12] everybody is scared to update a server of tinker with their system [10:13] if you run a server, you should know what you can modify safely [10:13] kam270: I use file-system snapshots (via lvm) [10:13] On most systems I have /etc/ as a git repo [10:14] ive just put our servers in a VM and back that up once a week [10:14] course Windows' doesn't work :p [10:14] but man it would be nice to have the last known working config option [10:15] version control is pretty straightforward [10:15] kam270: 's'called backups :) [10:15] kam270: again, there is no "config" so thats never going to happen. learn your system better [10:15] if you have a backup of everything, you have all the configS [10:16] if you manage to stop linux from booting, then you've done something terrible [10:16] i have the vm backed up. but i want last knwon.... everybody wants the last known [10:16] lol [10:16] nobody wants it [10:17] just you, and its not going to happen. [10:17] kam270: Have you heard of change control? [10:17] TJ-, yes [10:17] kam270: If you have a backup, you have the "last known". [10:17] hey folks, any idea why my 14.04's python 3.4.0 hasn't updated to 3.4.1? [10:17] thats what last known is about [10:18] if it's a vm you can just make a snapshot [10:18] it's even simpler [10:18] kam270: If you want a more finegrained backup, you have to use a full blown backup solution capable of saving "the last working" config of windows, like NetBackup. [10:18] reisio, thats what i do [10:18] thelodger: what makes you think it should be [10:18] kam270: ok... [10:18] IRC is not your blog or twitter feed :p [10:18] it's not for just complaining to no end :p [10:19] its a feature request man [10:19] thelodger: 3.4.0 is the latest on trusty [10:19] kam270: for like the 5th time, not going to happen. drop it already [10:19] reisio: bugfixes =D [10:21] Ben64: ah okay! So 3.4.1 hasn't been packaged for it yet or do you think it will at all due to LTS-ness? =) [10:21] thelodger: usually package versions don't change in a release unless theres a big bug or something [10:22] thelodger: or it might get put into -backports or something, will have to wait and see [10:23] Ben64: Cool, cheers =) Mainly looking for the ensurepip fix anyway =P https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1290847 [10:23] Ubuntu bug 1290847 in python3.4 (Ubuntu) "pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module" [Undecided,Fix released] [10:29] join #mac [10:30] hi [10:30] evaty: hi [10:30] i have mac pro [10:30] someone inhere knows how to "install" a tar.gz file?

[11:12] gravity === newbie is now known as Guest56832 [11:14] Is someone here having an external hardisk enclousore with HotSwap function?\ [11:15] ok, im trying to use UNetbootin to turn an older pc I'm no longer using into a media center for family use and trying to load it with Ubuntu 14.04 on a 64 GB USB flash drive... [11:16] anyone got experience doing something like that? [11:16] elengil, what sort of issue are you having? [11:16] Elengil: you wish to replace the Hardisk with USB or you just wish to install from usb? === Guest56832 is now known as unkn-error === Thor^^ is now known as Thor [11:18] well, im trying to run the entire os from a flash drive, since i tend to use USB external drives for the actual media (less mess inside a rather cramped old pc, and easier transfer of new stuff) [11:19] Elengil: what you are saying makes no sense [11:19] Elengil: if you are running on older hardware you want as much of a local install as possile [11:19] list [11:19] rather than livemedia [11:19] mauro: no wares here [11:20] instead of unetbootin you might want to try >> dd if=image.iso of=\\.\x: bs=4M [11:20] where of=/dev/sbx [11:21] whatever sb your usb is [11:21] how do I fix mplayer libGL.so.1 file not found error? [11:21] install mesa/gl library packages [11:21] or look at what it's looking for and make sure it's in the right place [11:22] Elengil: the usb have a limited number of writes, so your usb stick will brick over the time [11:22] unkn-error, if you calculate that out its like 10 years [11:22] ive been using one of my older ones for over 5 years and not a single issue... === hakan is now known as Guest58317 [11:22] Elengil: use a standard hard disk on older hardware [11:23] help it along [11:23] ironically, im having more issues with ide hard drives than the usb... [11:23] nothing ironic about tht [11:24] Elengil: if you really wish to use that usb stick, then, Boot from a Live CD/DVD/Other uUsb Stick, and install it on the one with 64 gb [11:25] Here, on my PC, If I install ubuntu into an USB which is 2.0 but oit is a fast usb, the system is runnong slower, [11:25] compared with the "live" usb version [11:26] any php or python programmer here?

I have try netbean but it has too much bugs [11:26] you can also play with LILI (linux live key) here => http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [11:26] Baako: try ##php or #python [11:26] running a live OS from USB on older hardware is a bad idea === Keanu73 is now known as Guest72841 === Keanu73_ is now known as Keanu73 [11:33] are there any command line executables for linux that can browse youtube?

[12:08] or none of them [12:08] Baako: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [12:13] sudo chmod 0777 utpjoect [12:13] it doesn't make all folders or file in the utjoject 777 [12:14] hey [12:14] Baako: of course it doesnt. 777 is wrong most always. [12:14] Baako: what are you trying to do actually? [12:15] bekks wha is it [12:15] bekks You don't have permission to access / on this server [12:15] Baako: An error message. What are you actually trying to do? [12:15] bekks just move the php folder from windows to ubuntu [12:16] Baako: changing everything to 777 will break the entire box. [12:16] bekks hmm what do you recommand [12:16] Baako: so transfer the file to a directory where your user has permissions. [12:16] help me ? [12:16] david`: ask a question first... [12:17] I need sip? [12:17] bekks the folder is in /var/www [12:17] david`: how do we know? [12:18] can help me? [12:18] Baako: your user has no permissions on that folder. Use another folder where your user has permissions. [12:18] david`: with what? [12:18] scanner sip - voip [12:18] bekks i can change the permission or add the user to www-data grouo [12:18] group [12:19] Baako: you should not do that. for the third time: use a folder where your user has permissions. [12:19] Baako, create a symlink to your user home, that is /home/username/xxx-folder to /var/www [12:20] Capprentice: thats a bad idea, too. [12:20] Can someone tell me the command to know the video board on my computer? [12:20] bekks, Why? It will allow me to keep files in /home but will appear as they are in /var/www ! [12:20] Capprentice i dont quite get what you mean. [12:21] Capprentice: And it will impose the security issue that a user can easily compromise the webserver. [12:21] bekks, How? [12:21] bekks its only my local pc [12:21] Capprentice: By compromising the user account. [12:22] Baako: Then why dont you follow advice given three times now? [12:23] bekks i have like 19 folders inside the main folder [12:23] Baako: And? [12:23] bekks, Okay, dont get irritated, im also a learner, thus again asking this- how exactly I can compromize the security of a user account if I put few files in a Directory under my home? [12:23] if i create a new folder and copy and paste the other folders wouldnt the other folders still have the same permission as the original main folder? [12:24] Baako: just test it out? [12:24] bekks okay gonna do it now [12:25] Capprentice: by putting compromised stuff into that directory which gets executed by the webserver. [12:26] bekks still same thing. i use cp -a to copy the folder to the var/www might that be the issue? [12:26] Baako: your user has no permissions, still. Use sudo cp -a to copy the files into that folder and fix the permissions afterwards. [12:27] bekks, Umm.. are not the servlets have insufficient permission to change files residing in its root ? [12:27] Capprentice: That sentence makes no sense :) [12:29] bekks i did what u said and still not working. the only way i can think is changing the permission via commandline [12:29] Baako: Thats what I told you to do. [12:30] which is access the folder and all it sub folder o the www-data group which this user happens to by in [12:30] bekks, let me rephrase the sentence then; does JAVA servelets or perl scripts, which im geussing being used commonly for server side stuffs, runs with less privilege so that they can not harm the system? [12:30] Baako: USe sudo cp -a and fix the permissions afterwards. Why do I have repeat myself that often? [12:30] Capprentice: That depends on the permissions set. [12:30] bekks i use cp -a like 15 times been doing it seen i first ask this question [12:30] never worked [12:31] Baako: "sudo cp -a" is NOT "cp -a". [12:31] cp doesn't change permissions [12:31] Baako: I told you to use "sudo cp -a". [12:32] bekks sudo cp -a /home/Baako/Desktop/tnproject/ /var/www/Working/ [12:32] Baako: And whats "not working" there? [12:33] I have over 91 project folder in Working all works great apart from this tnproject i just added into it [12:33] Baako: Thats not an answer to my question. [12:33] !cookie | bekks [12:33] ALL 91 are php projects and some python projects [12:33] bekks: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [12:33] Baako: try answering the questions you are asked [12:34] Baako: rather than unrelated information snippets [12:34] bekks i get a blank page which means it not running my index.php file and css js and library [12:35] Baako: Did you fix the permissions after sudo cp -a ? Yes or no? [12:35] i have clear my cache 3 times [12:36] before sudo cp -a i was getting the permission issue until i change the main folder to the www-data group === administrator is now known as Guest27154 [12:36] Baako: answer the question you are ASKED [12:36] aw [12:36] Baako: Answer my question, thank you. [12:36] hehe [12:36] !hero | bekks [12:37] ikonia havent see any question you asked me [12:37] Baako: I was the one you asked a question. Answer it. [12:37] *I was the one asking. [12:37] i did [12:37] You did not. [12:37] I asked a Yes/No question and got unrelated information. [12:37] 32 [12:37] 13:35 < bekks> Baako: Did you fix the permissions after sudo cp -a ? Yes or no? [12:37] u asked if it fix the permission issue [12:38] the answer is no [12:38] please be more human -- just talk like you'd talk to a friend; relax [12:38] he asked if YOU fixed the permissions [12:38] presumably not [12:38] not if it fixed the permissions problem [12:39] bekks if u mean the permission message from he browser "You don't have permission to access / on this server" i no longer see this message just a blank page [12:39] Baako: he gave you instructions to copy the file and then change the permissions [12:39] Baako: did you follow those instructions ? [12:39] eg: did YOU fix the permissions after the copy [12:40] sudo chmod 0777? or sudo chown Baako:www-data tnproject? [12:40] No. [12:40] errrr that would be neither [12:41] so which command does he recommand using to change the permission? [12:42] I'll back away from this one, as it appears too risky to not break your other 90+ projects you say you have when you don't follow instructions or feedback clearly on questions [12:42] Hi ! how can I clean the IcedTea WEB Java Policies? I mean the rules I have set while visiting various sites? I've never ran Java Applets on Linux Web Browsers before? Now I want to make sure that whomever I have set as trusted does not stay in the list anymore. How Do clean the list? If this is not the right channel, then kindly point me to the right channel please. [12:42] Baako: I did not told you a command, since I did not get clear information until now. [12:44] bekks you ask me to create a new folder and copy my other folders and file in the tnproject folder into this new folder and i did [12:44] I did not. [12:44] i then used sudo cp -a to copy the new folder to /var/www/Working [12:44] omg what did u mean by create a new folder then? [12:45] Good Evening All... [12:45] Hello pras! [12:45] hello [12:45] I did tell you to use _another_ folder where you have permission. I did tell you to use sudo cp -a. I did tell you to fix the permissions afterwards. I got no clear information about what you did, what happenend, etc. - based on this few information, I will not give you any command that possibly break your other 91 projects. [12:46] where are us from? === dragoneye is now known as Guest48676 [12:46] i have an issue with booting up my ubuntu 1404 after upgrade [12:46] i wanna buy a new NIC. Is there anything i should watch out for? [12:46] i have a dual boot windows 7 along with it [12:46] pras: sounds interesting [12:46] Daghdha: just buy an intel one and make life easy on yourself [12:46] my Working folder has the right permission which is why i put all projects in the Working folder [12:47] Daghdha: Just grab some one 5$ intel GBit card. [12:47] that why i said i have over 91 folders in the Working folder which works "great" [12:47] Baako: Which does not magically change permissions. [12:47] Baako: Thats why I told you to fix the permissions afterwards. [12:47] after sucessful upgrade i restarted the PC and it directly booted into windows 7 with out the grub choice menu.. kindly help [12:47] :(( No one uses Java Web Plugin? [12:47] 5$?? No such thing where i live. But i will go intell [12:47] pras you have instal grub once again [12:48] pras, You can fix this using EasyBcd from within Windows. [12:48] Was myplan anyway. thank [12:48] pras: what did you upgrade, [12:48] bekks fix it how? i give u the list of command i think might work all you say is "no" but you having me a solution to try [12:48] Capprentice: that will not fix grub [12:48] there is an pc,and my win8 with uefi installed with ubuntu,but how i edit boot to list system list first before system start?default system is ubuntu,but my family is not very familiry with computer, [12:48] upgrade ubuntu 1210 to 1404 [12:48] so , [12:48] pras: so that should have not broken grub, [12:48] pras: but it sounds like it's booting from somewhere without grub [12:49] how i can edit boot to start windows8 first === Abhijit is now known as Guest89278 [12:49] Baako: Setting permissions to 777 is most always wrong, as I told you earlier. In the first step, all you need to do is setting the correct owner/group from the point of view of your webserver. [12:49] pras, ikonia, Nope, EasyBcd will alow pras to use Windows Bootloader to boot both Windows and Ubuntu. [12:49] i have live cd of 1404 in that PC right now.. [12:49] Capprentice: the windows boot loader cannot boot ubuntu [12:50] pras: when you used 12.04 - did you use grub as your boot loader ? [12:50] yes [12:50] pras: how many hard disks are in the system ? [12:50] 1 [12:50] ikonia, EasyBCD comes with NEOGRUB. [12:50] pras: ok, so it certainly sounds like grub is no longer on the mbr of that disk, which should not be the case [12:51] ok put that live cd [12:51] Capprentice: wow - what a bad solution. [12:51] bekks you are funny. when i told you i will assign this folder to the www-data group which this user happens to be in you told me "no" bad idea [12:51] pras: I'd suggest re-applying grub [12:51] and reinnstall grub [12:51] !grub2 > pras [12:51] pras, please see my private message [12:51] pras: ubottu has just sent you a pm with a link in it, if you read it it, walks you through re-applying grub [12:51] Baako: you told us a command using 777 and baako:www-data. Thats where I said "no". === Abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [12:51] i said or? === abhijit is now known as Abhijit [12:52] sudo chmod 0777? or sudo chown Baako:www-data tnproject? [12:52] bekka OR [12:52] 0777 has a question mark [12:52] Baako: Both solutions are wrong from the point of view of your webserver. [12:52] how? [12:52] i will try that now and come back with the result [12:53] Baako: because "Baako" is not the default user the webserver is running as. [12:53] it's also not recurseive [12:53] so will just break the web root and not touch the project files [12:54] who can help [12:54] me / [12:54] bekks sudo chown www-data then? [12:54] please [12:54] i want to know how to edit boot manager [12:54] Baako: No, thats not recursive either, and you did not specify which folder to operate on. [12:54] zhaotongxue: which boot manager ? [12:55] bekks sudo chown www-data tnproject doesn't work [12:55] ikonia: there are 2 system in my computer [12:55] Baako: It seems that you did not read the article given closely enough, since you are just guessing commands. [12:55] one is win8 ,one is ubuntu [12:55] it doesn't seem to write my css, js and other files to genrate the hom epage [12:56] Baako: Because it isnt recursive. As has been told three times now. [12:56] but when i installed ubuntu,i must key F12 to choose the boot manager.it can't show auto, [12:57] Baako: Please return to that article again, before breaking your box. [12:57] my family is not very familiry with computer,but i want both linux and windows [12:57] zhaotongxue: what boot load is loading first ? [12:57] ubuntu [12:57] ok, so you need to change the order in /etc/default/grub and re-generate the grub config [12:57] zhaotongxue: first install windows [12:57] that way you can use grub to select windows or ubuntu [12:58] and install ubuntu or elementary [12:58] dragoneye_: he already has windows [12:58] dragoneye_: he didn't want elementary [12:58] lol [12:58] and if i don't choose anything,ubuntu will load [12:58] i did it [12:58] zhaotongxue: ok, so you need to update the grub bootloader as I said [12:58] well done, [12:58] ok [12:58] please teach me [12:58] pras, You can use Grub Customizer on Ubuntu to customize the time to wait, which os to boot, the theme etc, [12:59] bekks it doesnt make sense because i have just change the permission for he other project folders in the Working folder and the all have the same permission as the tnproject folder and sub subfolders [12:59] ?? [13:00] Baako: It perfectly makes sense, since "chmod" doesnt operate recursively without further options. No matter how hard you try to believe in that. [13:00] 08:58:43 PM - ikonia: zhaotongxue: ok, so you need to update the grub bootloader as I said [13:00] how???????????? [13:00] zhaotongxue: look at the text file in /etc/default/grub [13:00] let me get ubottu to send you a grub2 doc [13:00] !grub > zhaotongxue [13:00] zhaotongxue, please see my private message [13:00] zhaotongxue: that should give you an overview to grub and how to configure it [13:00] (the pm from ubottu) [13:01] thank you ...i will do that once i finish with boot repair [13:02] ther is no "grub" file in /etc/default/ [13:02] bekks i copy the folder and use the GUI to change the permission for "other" to "Access files" [13:02] and it works [13:03] ikonia: yes [13:03] Hello ;) === sebastien is now known as Guest29148 [13:03] Bonjour ;) [13:03] Is it possible to use a Ubuntu Live DVD (dd command) to Clone a 500 GB SATA HDD (512 sector size) to a Advanced Format (1024 sector size) 1 TB HDD? [13:04] I have tried with clonezilla and it failed totally ! [13:04] Capprentice: dd will not work as you expect [13:04] hm.. :(( Is there any other option? [13:04] Capprentice: dd is a block by block copy, including the partition table [13:04] just make a partition, copy the data [13:04] what more do you need ? [13:05] Capprentice, did you use beginner mode with clonezilla? [13:06] Not possible. I can not get the old softwares back. The new libs are not compatiable with the old softwares. There is not much update available for those either. I think I have to leave those behind and starts a fresh install :((( [13:06] Capprentice: why is that not possible [13:06] Capprentice: copying the data and dd'ing the data are the same end result, so why won't copying the data work [13:07] compdoc, No. I've used expert mode, but tried with the partition to partition copy ! [13:07] thats why [13:07] just make a partition and copy the data [13:07] it's really easy [13:08] ikonia, by data you did you meant everything? [13:08] Capprentice: ??? I mean "data" [13:08] whatever you want [13:12] ikonia, I would like to copy everything which included all files in /bin /usr /opt etc ! along with the GRUB in /boot ! Will dd be able to do that? [13:12] Capprentice: dd is not the tool you want to use due to the different disk size [13:12] Capprentice: just copy all the data to a partition and re-apply grub [13:12] it's very simple [13:15] o/ [13:17] iOkay !! What is the purpose of block size parameter in dd!? [13:18] Capprentice: why are you still trying to use dd [13:18] Im not. Im reading about this here - http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man1/dd.1.asp [13:19] the block size just sets the block size in the copy === gnu is now known as Guest54604 [13:19] The chunk size that will read in one go? 1024 bs means 1 MB in one go? [13:20] you can set the measurement [13:20] Capprentice: correct [13:21] Capprentice: Setting block size to 1M means that dd will copy in 1M chunks untill it's all done. [13:21] usr13, thanks :))) [13:22] Capprentice: dd will not work out well on what you are trying there. [13:22] Capprentice: Just follow the advice ikonia gave you, and explained why he adviced you to not use dd. [13:22] Capprentice: What is your project? (I'm new here.) === Guest81885 is now known as NaStYdoG [13:23] Capprentice: You need to use cp to copy files, dd is for images [13:23] Something like this right? cp -r --preserve /source_dir /destin_dir [13:23] Capprentice: dd is used to make an image of the data [13:24] Capprentice: cp -Rp [13:24] or cp -Rpx [13:24] if you don't want it to traverse mount points [13:25] I need help [13:25] usr13: he is trying to "duplicate" a 512-byte block size disk to a 1024-byte block size disk, which is a larger disk, as well.

[13:26] usr13: yes I'm an ubuntu user since hardy heron [13:26] ikonia, erm.. sorry, im very weak in english.. what do you meant by "traverse mount points"? :((( [13:26] Capprentice: not go off the root mount point, eg: don't copy /dev or /sys [13:27] Kartagis: I guess it's automatically switching output to HDMI port. Not sure what to do about it, but there may be an F-key combo for it... [13:28] Kartagis: If that's not the case, you might try xrandr [13:29] usr13: at first, it was a small portion on the TV screen, then I tried xrandr and it is now like this [13:29] usr13: wanna see my xrandr output?

[13:31] Burrito: the mint channel can help you [13:31] usr13, Pulseaudio 5 is not in the official repo [13:31] ikonia, like I said, Mint uses Ubuntu packages more than its own, I can get help here [13:31] Burrito: the mint guys are the right place, more so due to their desktop approach [13:31] Burrito: no, you can't get help here, we don't support mint [13:31] Okay, I'll just come with another name later [13:32] ok [13:32] is there a way to have Thunderbird use 24 hours time format even with LANG=en_US.UTF-8? LC_TIME seems to have no effect on it [13:32] ikonia: hi. apologies for being noisy a little, but could you reword the "desktop approach" phrase please? I don't understand your thought. thanks. [13:32] Burrito: Just use the mint channel [13:33] sveta: they have some different desktops from ubuntu and the way they hang together, intergrating the sound system into that can be different from distro to distro [13:33] usr13, There's way more people here, leave me alone [13:33] sveta: eg: mate on ubuntu is not packaged the same as mate on mint [13:33] hi all, I'm trying to compile a program from source (cacti spine) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I get the following error: "Cannot find NET-SNMP libraries(snmp)... checking UCD-SNMP". I have installed the snmp-dev package and tried to manually specify the path (--with-snmp=/usr/include/linux) without succes. Any ideea what to do next? [13:33] Ah, OK. Thanks. [13:33] sveta: hence why an ubuntu package may cause problems onto mint [13:33] Burrito: No. You do not understand. Linux Mint is different. [13:33] ikonia, usr13 , Should I run the command from a Live USB like this: sudo cp -Rp "/run/media/redbull/75 GBP UBU" "/run/media/redbull/199 GBP UBU" ? Or should I first mount them line : sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/sda9, and later use the cp -Rp /mnt/sda9 /mnt/sda1 ? The new 1TB disk has the following schema: http://i.imgur.com/pubdOqi.png [13:33] usr13, It is very much the same on the version I'm using (13 / 12.04) [13:34] *like [13:34] Burrito: Just install Ubuntu [13:34] usr13, ___never___ have I had an issue on Mint 13 where help aimed for Ubuntu 12.04 didn't help me. [13:34] (just using mint as a really easy example) [13:34] sorry - using mate as an easy example [13:34] Capprentice: it's up to you how you copy the data === dragoneye is now known as Guest69451 [13:35] sorry philinux and usr13, phone === lbaway is now known as luckybunny [13:36] ikonia, So both the commands I have stated will work alike? [13:36] no [13:37] Capprentice: what OS are you using [13:37] at this moment [13:37] ikonia, Told you at the other channel. [13:38] Capprentice: ok - so if you are using fedora - why are you asking in this channel [13:38] and #archlinux [13:39] Anyone wanna answer my question still? Just imagine I'm an Ubuntu 12.04 user and everything will be fine. [13:39] Burrito: But you are a Mint user in fact. [13:39] Burrito: Your logic is flawed. [13:39] Burrito: Mint isn't supported in this channel [13:39] I already asked in the LM channel, so... [13:39] Because Im trying to clone Ubuntu 12.04 back on my new 1TB HDD (replacing 14.04. I want my old softwares back. I was very much habituated using those. [13:39] Burrito: ask the specialists of mint. thanks [13:39] that imagination would be a LIE [13:40] You're all volunteers, I'm just asking nicely. [13:40] Burrito: And we are telling you nicely to ask the Linux Mint support, since this is the Ubuntu support only :) [13:40] Burrito: We may be volunteers, but volunteers in the Ubuntu support channel, not the Mint support channel, pleae use the Mint channel for support [13:40] Burrito: you've been told not to ask here - take it to mint because of the differences in the dekstop [13:40] I _am_ using that channel. [13:41] Burrito: See my PM [13:41] never mind, LC_TIME works in Thunderbird, I had an error in setting up the environment. [13:41] Capprentice: ok so fedora can tell you how to use fedora to clone your ubuntu system [13:41] ikonia, I have two HDDs, in one there is Manjaro, Ubutnu 12.04, Fedora 17 and Windows 7 and in this new one (1TB ) Fedora 20, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14. [13:41] Capprentice: great, but you're using fedora - so the fedora guys can tell you how to clone your hard disk using fedora [13:43] ikonia, I'm already asking in Linux Mint - I'm allowed to ask in multiple places. My system uses Ubuntu packages for this specific problem. [13:43] #linuxmint-help* [13:43] ikonia, No one is there to help me. and its Ubuntu what Im willing to clone. Im quite satisfied with Gnome 3.10 (Fedora 20)! and I have messed up Ubuntu 14 by trying to compile the Comodo Antivirus Kernel Modules. [13:43] Capprentice: they are there to help you [13:43] ... [13:43] fine [13:44] Capprentice: and it doesn't matter what you are trying to clone, you are using fedora and their tools to do the cloning, they can support that === luminous_ is now known as luminous [13:45] Umm...

Last time I have got quite a bit of help on fixing the file permissions and selinux from : _Red_, Grinnz_ and Bjacob..so Im not sure :) [13:49] Capprentice: then you wait in #fedora until someone helps you, or use a distro that has a better help channel [13:49] Capprentice: however fedora has excellent help [13:49] so you have no need to worry, [13:49] #fedora will help you just fine [13:52] usr13: are you still there?

[16:41] I can't see the entirety of the screen: I have to move my mouse to the edge for it to scroll horizontally [16:42] even when I go to the resolution settings, everything is ok [16:43] hola [16:43] !es|jorge [16:43] jorge: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [16:44] trism: want to help me install libSDL_ttf-2.0 ? :D [16:46] nuget102: the sdl ones are a bit confusing because they are numbered weird, should be: libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 [16:46] Thanks. <3 You're a huge help trism [16:47] That was the right one <3 [16:47] So I just need to put um... i386 at the end? [16:47] well :i386? [16:47] nuget102: pretty much [16:48] nuget102: once you find the correct package name [16:48] So libSDL_image-1.2 would be libsdl_image1.2:i386 [16:48] trism [16:49] nuget102: looks like it === xubuntu is now known as Guest94523 [16:49] trism: Well that didn't work. :p [16:49] nuget102: oh except no underscore, it is a dash [16:49] Ahhh [16:49] nuget102: libsdl-image1.2 [16:49] Okay. [16:49] !info libsdl-image1.2 [16:49] libsdl-image1.2 (source: sdl-image1.2): Image loading library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2, libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.12-5build2 (trusty), package size 26 kB, installed size 103 kB [16:49] So underscores are replaced with a dash [16:50] nuget102: not really, it just depends on how they name the package [16:50] And it works! [16:50] nuget102: packagenames can differ from the names from the programs or files [16:50] Yea okay. :3 Thanks guys, been a huge help! [16:50] nuget102: apt-cache search -n lib sdl image; would have confirmed [16:50] trism: yea I accidently read the - as a _ :P [16:51] Hello, I'm running xubuntu live pendrive on my terminal, but the automatic refresh rate is 30/70 hz, how to change it in terminal or in boot options? [16:51] anyway, thanks a ton. My game is now working! [16:51] nuget102: excellent [16:51] trism: thanks so much for the help. I promise I will be back whenever I need help again! :P [16:53] http://hastebin.com/ezodivebar [16:53] Nailed it. [16:54] vifino: feel free and hang and chat in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [16:54] hehe [16:54] hw:1,0 not working [16:54] wtf!!! [16:55] mmiller13: do you have a support question?

[16:55] mmiller13 no profanities here please [16:55] mmiller13 ask your ubuntu question. [16:56] ubottu : realy? [16:56] munta: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:56] ahahahahaha [16:56] !bot | munta [16:56] munta: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me: /msg ubottu botclone [16:56] I have a video capturing usb device; /dev/video1 shows video but hw:1,0 doesn't prodiuce audio. It should be PgNP. [16:57] least favorite :p [16:57] back on the subject of viruses: ClamTk complains that xyzzy.7z has "Heuristics.Encrypted.7Zip". I've taken a peek, and xyzzy.7z is unencrypted and contains exactly one file, xyzzy.doc, which is a MS Word document from a windows computer. xyzzy.doc is sitting in the same directory and passes as having no virus. Is this likely a false-positive virus detection? [16:57] es [16:57] mmiller13: those alsa labels can change between boots.. i suggest, if its possible, disable the device that you are not wanting to use.. or, just look each time.. typically, aplay -l and arecord -l can help identify [16:58] HelloWorld321 windows.doc files have been known to have encoded viri [16:58] HelloWorld321: it could only be indicating that it's a fancy encoded file [16:58] not all "viruses" are _viruses_ [16:58] or even malware [16:58] HelloWorld321: in many cases "virus" is a matter of opinion.. you can search and confirm what cfhowlett states.. [16:59] they tend to be suspicious, though [16:59] a lot of archives and installers will trigger alarms [16:59] I want to run memcached on a unix socket. I'd like to put it in /run/memcached/ How can I create that directory with appropriate permissions on bootup? I suppose I'd need to place a new script somwhere, as a modification of the existing initsript would not survive updates etc [16:59] you need to look up what 'heuristics.encrypted.blah' actually entails === max__ is now known as Guest26246 [16:59] it probably means nothing more than 'fancy archive' :p [16:59] anyone know if there is a way to make 'rm' forward to 'mv' source recyclebindestination [17:00] catalase: yes, with an alias; 'help alias' [17:00] HelloWorld321, Linux av require you to investigate the hit. [17:00] catalase: but it's good practice to make a wholly new command instead of aliasing 'rm' [17:00] so that you don't confuse yourself/others [17:00] like 'trash' maybe [17:00] i see [17:00] thank you [17:01] Assuming Zimbra is the same as ClamTk (both are front ends for clamav, right?) then according to http://www.vionblog.com/zimbra-block-encrypted-archives/; that message means that the scanner could not read the zip file, and so triggered an "I don't know" warning. [17:01] I think that's what Beldar said "require you to investigate" [17:01] echo 'alias trash="mv $* ~/.local/trash/whatever/"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc [17:01] catalase: or it might need to be a function, never made such a thing :) #bash is there if you need it [17:02] HelloWorld321: the software you are using has a list, and criteria.. if it fits, you get a message.. *then*, you look and determine for yourself.. if your machine is compromised, any or all the methods used to test can also be compromised and cant be trusted.. [17:03] HelloWorld321, Any kind of real world problem in linux is a rootkit which in general run in any OS, where as classic viruses and malware are OS specific in general and virtually none or close to depends on whose subjective opinion are in the wild. === D-Boy is now known as Guest98456 [17:04] HelloWorld321, in the wild going after linux that is. [17:04] Should I do something? I think it's okay. [17:04] HelloWorld321: you should address the word "think" above, and be certain [17:04] when i press alt+right click on my desktop it opens workspace options, always on top etc, this causes problems for me in wine - is there a way to disable alt+right click displaying a menu? [17:05] Okay. I'll take another look. Thanks. [17:05] cfhowlett, reisio, holstein, Beldar: thanks for answering questions in #ubunutu [17:05] HelloWorld321: there is no one here who is maintaining that *.doc that can tell you if its "safe".. even if it *is* a compromise for windows, whats it going to do in linux? likely not be able to run.. but, you must research and confirm.. [17:05] HelloWorld321 happy2help [17:07] catalase: alias trash="mv -t ~/.local/trash/wtevr/ $*" [17:09] reisio: https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli [17:10] found an interesting package that might work. properly addresses some issues that are described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623656 [17:10] looks cute, and convoluted :) [17:10] there must be some way to truncate trash-put to trash [17:10] true, reisio [17:11] if you're keeping proper backups, then accidentally rm'ing something is no big deal [17:11] catalase: yes [17:11] you could just alias trash to trash-put :p [17:11] when i press alt+right click on my desktop it opens workspace options, always on top etc, this causes problems for me in wine - is there a way to disable alt+right click displaying a menu? [17:11] or I'm sure you could do a find & replace :p === infinimediatory is now known as mesopotamian [17:11] but.... [17:11] if it's just 'trash-put' you want, the alias I just gave you a moment ago works fine [17:11] reisio, problem is i am ubuntu noob, and i like to tinker with system files that i am not supposed to. then i end up rm'ing them because i am insane [17:11] I just don't remember xdg's default Trash locale [17:11] it's ~/.local/Trash/files/ or something [17:11] catalase: :) [17:12] backups [17:12] reisio: do you have a routine, automatic backup setup [17:12] I've investigated. It's a letter that I myself wrote from an .odt template that includes a scanned document (very large jpg). The only possible way is if the original .odt template creates a virus, or if my scanner attached a virus to the jpg; not only do I think the chance of that is close to zero, but the doc file and the jpg were in the same directory and also scanned alongside by the clam av and passed okay. I think it' [17:13] HelloWorld321: no... its not that *anything* "created" a virus.. its only that the scanner is flagging it as a virus.. [17:13] catalase: I use rdiff-backup via a regular cron job [17:13] catalase: almost anything rsync-based (like rdiff-backup) would do the trick, though [17:13] as well as any hundreds of other approaches [17:14] Hi guys. I am auto-hiding the launcher on the left side. Any way i can get the active tasks shown in the top bar? [17:14] HelloWorld321: if you owned all of that chain, top to bottom, and can trust the file, then, you can trust it.. but, if you have opened it on a windows machine that you dont maintain, or any machine that you cant trust, it could be compromised.. or the scan could be just doing what its designed to do.. and not actually finding something "unsafe", but, what is considered a virus, by the criteria its given [17:15] trism: I'm back, did you miss me? ;D [17:15] it's that the scanner is flagging it as something in its db... [17:15] these days almost nothing is a _virus_ [17:15] Also, what is a good place to find a different theme for the window decorations? [17:15] HelloWorld321 install virtualbox. install lubuntu to your virtualbox. open your "infected" file in vbox and see what it does [17:15] that is, malware that self-replicates [17:15] Hi === WIlson is now known as Guest94208 [17:15] muhman: gnome.org [17:16] cristian_c: hi [17:16] muhman: i would just use a launcher or bar that meets my needs.. one that shows running tasks.. [17:16] trojans are worse anyways, and clamav would call a trojan a "trojan", not "heuristics.blah" [17:16] If I install lamp, can I disable the autostart of its components? [17:16] cristian_c: yup [17:16] I'll just edit the memcached init script to create /var/run/memcached, even though it's going to be reverted on updates I suppose [17:17] reisio, in what manner? [17:17] cristian_c: which version of Ubuntu? [17:17] Or does a more elegant way exist, I'm not very experienced at this [17:17] holstein: such as? === Guest94208 is now known as WIlsonMathew [17:17] reisio, once, I installed the components with taskel, but they gave me problems with processes [17:17] reisio, 14.04, at the momento [17:17] *moment [17:18] muhman: any that do what im looking for.. docky, awn.. whatever has running task list. or just another desktop with more of the features i seek.. unity is not intended for cusomization [17:18] customization* [17:18] I need to download the libsdl2_mixer-2.0 [17:18] i just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade; graphic mode stopped working; i have tried to update gdm but apt-get install gnome-shell announces that there are unmet dependencies [17:18] I can't seem to find it though [17:18] any tips on how to solve that [17:19] nuget102: ask apt-file [17:19] nuget102: could be named something different.. what are you actually trying to do? [17:19] howcome I can't make these: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/media/usb/usbtv [17:19] antagomir: i would run "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin errors..

[17:21] michaelgamble: reconfigure /etc/sudoers [17:21] michaelgamble: or just use root's cron [17:22] nuget102: that package is in the "Universe" pocket, so you may need to enable that for apt to find the package [17:22] I'm using 64 bit, I think it's the latest [17:22] i think the way im doing it, i cant use roots [17:22] michaelgamble: why? [17:22] im using the scheduled ui [17:22] TJ i'm new to Ubuntu. I got it yesterday. I have no idea how to enable it. xD [17:23] reisio, ok, and what I've to do to launch lamp components in a session to use them? [17:23] nuget102: what game?

[17:25] Is there a better #chennel for network, netstat topics? [17:26] michaelgamble: 1.1 [17:26] HelloWorld321: yes. go to #networking [17:26] HelloWorld321: /msg alis list *network* [17:26] reisio, reisio ok, and it I launch them, nothing is set in autostart on the next reboot? [17:26] *is nothing set [17:26] cristian_c: shouldn't be [17:26] that's just something done when you install them [17:27] HelloWorld321: or cisco specific go to: #cisco [17:27] reah, ok [17:27] reisio, ah, ok [17:28] Is it possible to dd a drive from an ext4 drive, to an ext3 drive? or does that carry through (i'm trying to get back to ext3) [17:28] Geo: you have an installation? and you want to change ext4 to ext3? [17:28] Geo: it's possible to rsync from ext4 to ext3 [17:28] not sure why you'd want to, though [17:29] Geo: no, not with dd. use rsync [17:29] Hello. How would I run a X program trough ssh, and make it run on my *remote* ubuntu machine? Please note the *remote*. I know I can forward X to my *local* machine, but that's not what I want, I want it to actually run on the *remote* X. [17:29] malinus: you must have proper magic cookie and set DISPLAY variable correctly [17:30] man xauth is a good start [17:30] malinus: DISPLAY=:0 usually [17:30] malinus: ps aux | grep X will tell you the exact #, if it's not 0 [17:31] DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal, etc. [17:31] thanks a bunch reisio [17:32] malinator: using plain ssh from terminal or putty? with putty its pretty easy as well :) [17:32] malinator: also you have to edit your sshd_config correctly [17:33] subz3r0, I've figured it out. Simply changing the DISPLAY variable was enough. Also I'm pretty sure there is nothing you can do in the sshd_config that could help. [17:33] holstein et al- yes, the older hardware im using seems to have issues with ext4 [17:33] question of exactly how complex you need to make it :) [17:33] so I [17:34] so I'd like to migrate the whole thing back over to ext3 [17:34] malinus: X11Forwarding yes | X11DisplayOffset 10 etc.. [17:35] http://www.openssh.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config [17:35] any special flags I would need for rsync when duplicating an entire disk? [17:35] or run it like normal [17:36] Geo: -ap [17:36] run it again with -apv after it's done to see it say it did it all right [17:36] subz3r0, did you even read the question? [17:36] ok, thank you [17:36] Geo: work a little better from a live OS instead of a running system [17:37] subz3r0, it's great that you want to help, but please read the questions :) [17:37] malinator: yup :) [17:37] oh, good call... i think i have a live cd around here [17:37] actually [17:37] maybe you'd have an idea as to the error cacusing all this... [17:37] subz3r0, okay I guess setting the ** around local and remote, still didn't make it clear enough. Try reading it again, and note the words in the **. [17:38] enh, cant find it now [17:38] darn thing freezes up every day or two [17:38] malinus: could be that youve set "X11UseLocalhost" no *remote* wont work. anyways. ;) [17:38] Geo: usb sticks ftw [17:38] also grub can boot a live os :) [17:39] Does anyone have experience with using Powerline with Fish on Ubuntu 14.04?

[18:29] no physical lights on the port * [18:30] technodict: Most MB NICs are supported but some plugin ones are too new to have driver sets, unless you touch the MFG to see what they have.

See about getting you to a terminal. === Iota-Spencer is now known as IotaSpencer [18:34] !chroot | TeraJL [18:34] TeraJL: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [18:34] TeraJL: Look up the chgroot procedure, which should give you the access you need. [18:35] TBotNik how do i get the MB model number ? [18:35] TeraJL: ^^ CHange Root will get ya access .. but recovery mode is quicker and easier.

[18:37] youtube setting cookies that it shouldn't [18:37] i have a cookie whitelist and youtube is not on that [18:37] yet every so often youtube will set cookies [18:37] but do the drivers crash this way generally ? it was really running perfect some time ago and for atleast 3years without any problems ! [18:37] bmvh: how do you know firefox is doing so? are you sure youtube isn't just use DOMStorage instead? [18:38] bmvh, I would ask in #firefox really I would not worry about what is there when using, havinf=g the cache and history cleared when closing is a better option in my opinion. [18:38] having* [18:38] bmvh: Oh now I see your other post. You have to turn off "3rd party cookies" which is where that comes from. If that does not work, open "Addons" and install 1.) Ad Block Plus, 2.) NoScript, 3.) Ghostery, then you will be in the "Secure Browsing Mode" and all that 3rd party crap goes away! [18:39] bpropmt: dom.storage.enabled is set to true [18:40] bmvh: there are many ways to do storage these days, not just cookies... just wondering how you knew they were, can you see the cookies being set? [18:40] TBotNik 3rd party cookies are disabled. ABE is installed and the other two [18:40] Beldar: already asked #firefox but got no answer, its pretty dead over there [18:41] bmvh: It is being set by a "Java" or "JavaScript" virus, which No Script and Ghostery kill, but allow you to manually allow things you want to see. Ad block plus kills all popups! [18:42] bpromt: in cookie exception menu, youtube get set to accept first party only. I delete it and it comes back a while later, maybe an hour or so === ezhik`_ is now known as Guest84124 [18:42] TBotNik: i have noscript set to allow youtube [18:43] bmvh: Is being overrun by the java* virus, which can backend force things on you. Ghostery kills key tracker viruses, average Windows computer has 200+ keytracker viruses. [18:43] TBotNik: youtube.com and ytime.com [18:44] bmvh: wondering if you have any "youtube" addons/extensions... those could be adding the cookies permissions to the site for functionality [18:45] TBotNik: Ghostery is installed and full updated, with everything selected [18:46] bpromt: no youtube extension or addons. my addons are, ad block edge, disconnect, ghostery, https everywhere, noscript, privacy badger [18:47] bmvh: Doesn't matter the site. If they are trying to get and follow what you do, what you see, where you go, what you buy, they have a keytracker hidden in their code. Each keytracker is sending every key you type, to BFE. You have no idea who is watching you or getting your info and with keytracker, everything you type: SSN, Bank Account, Personal info is going out somewhere as each keytracker is send every keystroke somewhere [18:47] bmvh: hmmm the "creeping up" in firefox, doens't seem to me like some malicious code..... more like something installed in it that has privileges or access to add it, which leads me to think is not an illegal function at all, you just happen to notice it now [18:48] hmm, just noticed i have cdn.sstatic.net and i.stack.imgur.com in my exceptions list but i never added them either [18:48] Are there any ubuntu live usb's that will fit on a 256mb usb drive? I checked out netinstall and it looks good. That my only option? [18:48] bpromt: I have only noticed it in the last maybe 3 days [18:48] gbear14275: come on now, even 2gbs usb sticks are ancient these days, we're in 2014 =P [18:50] gbear14275: if any... I can think of, will be something like hmmm dunno maybe Lubuntu 7.04 or so, and I doubt that btw, those I think were around 500mbs [18:52] bprompt, I agree but I'm dealing with grandparents who live in another state. They are using XP and it looks like they've been infected with something and their CD drives are out of commission, all they have is a 256MB thumb drive [18:52] TBotnik: sounds tinfoil hat but unfortunatly it is true. any and all information that you have is worth money to somebody [18:52] bprompt, wasn't sure if ubuntu had like a minimum install vs netinstall like debian... i recalled debian had net install smallest and then minimal which was still pretty small [18:53] uploding virus [18:53] gbear14275: and you just need to access the Documents/user account, to get files before any wiping? [18:53] bprompt, nope... just need something I can talk them through over the phone [18:53] blackshade uploaded [18:54] sadpuppy: thanks :P [18:54] so was thinking/hoping pendrive live usb instructions per main page install directions but using a netinstall .iso [18:54] bmvh: Did the Addons get you fixed? [18:54] but wasn't sure how minimal that was... don't want to intimidate them with the net install screens if something a little bigger had a more user friendly UI [18:55] TBotNik: no i already had them installed long before these cookies started to appear [18:55] gbear14275: hmmm and YOU don't have anything bigger than 256mbs? I mean, heck I recall those back in 1998 [18:55] I'm in Texas they are in Washington... few k miles away [18:56] gbear14275: so... THEY have the 256mbs? not you? [18:56] yeah [18:56] Do you have youtube whitelisted in NOSCRIPT or Ghostery, if so remove them. [18:56] going to try and talk them through live usb creation (luck be with me) [18:57] gbear14275: what about just having them burn a cheapo 700mbs CD? surely those are about 0.50 at the discount store, and you can fit ubuntu 12 on that [18:58] bprompt, cd drives out of commission due to virus [18:59] what would be the least resource intense version of Ubuntu? [18:59] TBotNik: should i disable DOMstorage? [18:59] TBotNik: what is that just another type of cookie? [19:00] gbear14275: ahemm how about android? have them use their cellphone and skype them through it :) [19:00] Sure and the HTML5 cache [19:00] good thought [19:00] havenstance, I install ubuntu server, and then a minimal desktop on that [19:00] hi. anyone knows how to solve vsync not working when gaming on fullscreen with nvidia proprietary on 14.04? [19:00] compdoc, that's what I was leaning toward, but is XFCE the Lightest one or Lubuntu? [19:00] !lubuntu | havenstance [19:00] havenstance: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [19:01] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-things-probably-didnt-know-internet/ [19:02] sadpuppy: Do you have a specific ubuntu support question? [19:02] havenstance, I use mate, because I need a 2d desktop for xrdp, and because you can install any gnome program that you can in desktop ubuntu. I dont know the ones you mention [19:03] bmvh: cookies are pretty harmless you know, regardless of all the "uninformed" media they get [19:04] compdoc, mate might be my answer here, I'd like the whole thing to use less than 1gb of RAM with Firefox open if possible cuz I need to run a VM with allocated 1gb and this system only has two gb of RAM. [19:04] bpromt: true but i don't like somthing setting cookies or anything when i didn't want it too [19:05] guys anyone here know about cisco 2960 switch?

[19:34] bprompt: bootchart its a tool for graphically showing boot processes over time [19:34] hmm ok [19:36] the bottleneck appears to be with unity starting.

I can't figure out what is causing those two delays [19:38] it is taking atleast 3:30 seconds to boot this box into a useable desktop (where I can actually run a program) [19:40] then ubuntu is very laggy despite low cpu usage and average memory usage === duckduckcat is now known as captilaziebuG [19:41] dejavou42: Just a thought .. how much ram do you have on board ? // unity likes 2 Gigs or more.

[20:11] beldar i want best compatibilty [20:11] (repeating question) any Idea why I can't find the built deb files at https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/development/+build/4574233 [20:11] ? [20:12] infinmed, but that doesn't mean that it is the system default which depends from the user indeed [20:12] right [20:12] what is your recomendation intel or nvidia? [20:12] nvidia [20:13] T-virus, This is off topic. [20:13] ooh ok sorry [20:16] can i reinstall ubuntu from liveCD when it was installed via dual boot with windows ? [20:16] hey everyone!!! [20:16] YuviPanda, why that old 1,5 package? current in their ppa is 1,7,1 https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/development?field.series_filter=precise [20:16] OerHeks: sure, but we're running 1.5.0 in production (Wikimedia Tool Labs (tools.wmflabs.org)) with some custom patches, and need debug symbols. [20:17] when i download mp3 with aria2c the mp3 icons don't show up most of the time [20:17] what causes a linux live USB to NOT boot on an Asus Transformerpad T100? [20:17] OerHeks: we're planning to move to trusty soon, and I think there'll be an nginx upgrade that comes with it, so don't want to upgrade twice. [20:17] OerHeks: plus the last time we tried to upgrade to 1.7.1 it caused massive problems with our setup (which is not exactly straightforward as well) [20:17] this most definitely is my issue, but how do I find why it's my issue? module-systemd-login.c: Failed to create session monitor: No space left on device [20:18] jeevesmoss, Any number of reasons. [20:18] my SSD/HDDs has pleny of space [20:18] Beldar, I know the USB works (tested it on another laptop), so I think we've got to the "Hammer Time" point of the repair! [20:18] GRMrGecko, Has anyone answered even once? [20:18] YuviPanda, all i find is the 1,5 for oneiric https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/development [20:18] OerHeks: :( [20:18] Beldar: Nope... [20:19] Someone said that something I was going to try won't break my system, that's about all. [20:19] GRMrGecko, THan stop cramming the channel with your thoughts, this is support if you want that have some patience and get some. [20:20] Beldar: I'm researching it... And thought it might be useful. [20:20] jeevesmoss, Give a some details on the situation, there are variables. [20:21] GRMrGecko, hardly, do you see anyone else doing this or if you look at the online logs there as well? [20:21] I'm googling with no luck thus far [20:22] GRMrGecko, Yes if you have been helped we like to see fix answers, but that is it. [20:22] guys can anybody explain me how to combine indicator plugin and notification area in ubuntu, i.e. if i remove indicator plugin then there will be no wi-fi, sound volume and messaging icon, when i remove notification area, then i will not be able to notify an application icons in tray. ho to fix it? [20:22] Beldar, After a "reinstall" from the "recovery partiton", the system blew windows away to do a fresh reinstall. in the process, it killed ALL of the partitions on the root drive (onboard SSD). So, in an attempt to try to "recover" something with the OS, I made a bootable windows USB. That loaded, then crashed (bad system files), so I got another disk, and same thing. So I tried the Ubuntu [20:22] LiveCD [20:22] Beldar, and that won't even boot. it just jumps straight to the BIOS [20:22] jeevesmoss, UEFI bios? [20:23] Beldar, lol, not anymore! that was on the system partition! [20:23] jeevesmoss, err the bios does not just disappear. [20:23] Beldar, we have the old school BIOS now. not the EFI one [20:23] GRMrGecko: " monitor: No space left on device" what results -> df -h , df -i <- ? [20:24] jeevesmoss, YOu mean you have a legacy boot? [20:24] Beldar, and thinking it could be a pooched BIOS, I upgraded to the latest one from the OEM [20:24] Bashing-om: https://p.gecko.im/qf [20:25] GRMrGecko: Look'n at /p.gecko.im/qf [20:25] jeevesmoss, Try the per-session boot menu, not just expecting the usb to boot with a bios setting. [20:26] Beldar, it's not even seeing the USB! Some times the BIOS sees it, but most of the time, it won't. I'm going to run back to the house in a bit, and grab my USB ROM and give that a try. [20:27] jeevesmoss: try a different usb drive [20:27] *usb port [20:27] uv, ony one USB port on the device. [20:27] anyone here pro at pxebooting? [20:27] I'm starting to think it won't like the USB stick. So, this is why I'm going to try a physical ROM. [20:27] GRMrGecko: Nothing to be concerned with there .. humm .. tell me again the nature of the problem that results in that " no space left on device " .. [20:27] jeevesmoss, Do you know the boot menu I mentioned and how to get there on that computer? [20:27] do you want to recover your windows back ? [20:28] @ jeevesmoss [20:28] Bashing-om: Basically, after upgrade audio stopped working. I'm assuming it's pulseaudio because of https://p.gecko.im/re [20:28] !tab | uv [20:28] uv: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:29] Beldar, yes, I know the boot select you are speaking of. I'll have to try it when I get home. I love that little tablet, so I'm not going to give up [20:29] say /msg T-virus: System76, ZaReason, ThinkPenguin [20:30] Beldar, are you good at getting the dmesg to display on Ubuntu when it boots? I'm trying to give my little beaglebone a techy look [20:30] GRMrGecko: Sorry, that one is above my pay grade, I do not have a clue. [20:32] abaday, For help address the issue you are having directly. ;) [20:35] I have X running on an 14.04 box and can run applications properly from a remote host via SSH. I cannot; however, launch the desktop environment. I can run nautilus but not the Unity panel (bar-- whatever it is called). My research is coming up inop after many hours into this. Does any one know the proper way to execute the desktop environment with X over SSH? [20:35] If I try gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d [20:35] gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256y [20:36] I now there is a simple fix that I am just flat missing. [20:37] L0uk3, Precise release? [20:37] Trusty Tahr 14.04 [20:37] L0uk3, I thought the 2d was gone what desktop? [20:38] this the fallback? [20:38] It may be but if I run just gnome-session it spits out 3d errors [20:38] loinnt === andrew-mint is now known as CyanBlob [20:39] Beldar: I am not sure if it is fallback or which session I should use. the only default session on host is "ubuntu" [20:40] /usr/share/xsessions only has ubuntu.desktop [20:40] xico [20:42] guys when I did purge smc* ( assuming it would remove that game secret mario ) it did remove a lot of apps including xfce-* [20:42] Beldar: Sorry you asked what desktop... gnome / unity if that is the default desktop on 14.04. I have not installed any other desktop/ window managers or DE environments. [20:42] i boot into recovery and install the desktop aND got back here [20:42] L0uk3, The ubuntu desktop is unity and has no 2d in 14.04 as far as I know. === Yofun is now known as YOFUN [20:43] hey after upgrading to 14.04 the software-updater shows up and slows down the computer... i tried apt-get remove software-center... but that wanted to remove the ubuntu desktop to... how can i delete those updater tools that just slows down the machine for me ( I use apt-get instead when i want to update and upgrade things [20:43] L0uk3: I don't use Unity (prefer plain Gnome 3), but I have never been able to get a smooth desktop session since way back, either through X redirection over SSH, VNC or whatever. The only thing that works for me is unfortunately a propriatery piece of software, even though you can have it for free.... [20:44] NoMachine/NX4 [20:44] Beldar: Okay that helps. If I run "unity" it says there is already a session. There is a session a the host obviously. [20:44] L0uk3, So what brought you to this voodoo that you be doing? [20:44] Stinky_Feet: I had been using NX (nomachines) for a while and decided I prefer X. Especially if I can get the DE to run in full. [20:46] L0uk3: OK, just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't know about it. My connection to the remote machines is too slow for modern desktop environments over X.... [20:46] Well, I do not like X or VNC (VINO) sharing. So I have been SSH'ing and running each app with X. I prefer that. All is well. Everything runs great. BUt now I have decided I would like the full desktop experience. [20:47] Stinky_Feet: I have GigE and it is not an issue on the LAN. [20:47] L0uk3, Ah no left panel, I would just install a simpler desktop in that environment. [20:48] Beldar: Exactly--no panel. So you think maybe install gnome or KDE and run that over X independently of Unity? [20:49] * Well, I do not like X or VNC (VINO) * --> meant NX or VNC [20:49] L0uk3, The only de that should be running is the run you start up, I would go lxde. [20:49] one* [20:49] Im trying to pxeboot ubuntu, is there other options for netboot=nfs ? === captilaziebuG is now known as Jei_ [20:51] Beldar: I thought about doing just that. But wanted to see if there was a way to get Unity to run on both the physical machine session and the remote machine X session. Sounds like the best bet is to install another DE and use that over X. === Jei_ is now known as Je === Je is now known as J_ [20:51] Ive installed older nvidia drivers and it took 15min to boot, ive installed elementaryos now and the pc freezes with the cursor... === J_ is now known as chef_hei [20:51] L0uk3: Yes, forget about gnome3 (never tried KDE). Lxde or Xfce... [20:52] L0uk3, Well, trying to 2d where it is not possible has me wondering what all you have done, and if even you know. ;) [20:52] Is there a shortcut to send a window to another screen that i'm connected to [20:52] It has been YEARS since I used X , but I know Solaris and others were able to do this seemlessly with a simple "startx" command. [20:52] it would be cool if ctrl+super+right x 2 moved it to the screen to the right [20:52] L0uk3, Have you used start x here? [20:53] Beldar: I did a clean install to a default system after the 2d commands were tried. Because... you are right... I dont know and it only took a short time to start over. [20:53] So now the system is default (the test system I am using to get this X 'project' working [20:53] L0uk3, Just be aware that startx is deprecated in ubuntu, so be sure to do some research. [20:54] L0uk3: That was before compositing window managers... [20:54] how to reinstall stuff ? [20:54] !details | meek_geek [20:54] meek_geek: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [20:55] I want to reinstall restricted-extra package [20:55] Thanks guys. Most of the research (hours of it) comes up under Precise. I'll try another DE and just try lanuching that to see how that goes. Thanks. [20:55] meek_geek, Why? [20:56] How do I make it so the person I am trying to help gets a notification if I address them? [20:56] Beldar, I did purge smc* ( hoping it would remove the secret mario game ) but it messed up my system and i recovered by going into root shell via recovery and installing ubuntu-desktop [20:56] but now flash and gstreamer stuff is missing [20:56] other things are fine [20:57] meek_geek, And if you run a standard install of the restricted what happens? [20:57] no idea what smc* is or means [20:58] meek_geek: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:58] Beldar, I did sudo apt-get purge smc* [20:58] smc = secret mario game [20:58] no idea what smc* is or means meek_geek [20:58] super mario something? [20:59] Beldar, SMC = Secret Maryo Game [20:59] see Software Center [20:59] Beldar, when i tried to remove it ; it removed a lot of stuff including xfce4-* [21:00] Is there a shortcut to send a window to another screen that i'm connected to? Apparently I can bind "put" in compiz settings but i'm in the application and put doesn't exist [21:01] Beldar: One final quick questions (and I do appreciate the help). If I install lxde, Unity will still be the default DE when booting etc. Correct? Then I could choose to launch lxde in another session. Sound about right? [21:01] L0uk3, Do you ever see the login? [21:02] or can you logout it? [21:02] to it* [21:02] On the actual 14.04 desktop phycial box, yes. On the X session over SSH there is not DE login. [21:03] Just ssh -X hostname [21:03] L0uk3, Not sure in that context is all. [21:03] Hi I have Ubuntu installed but the Unity desktop is essentially barren with no icons to click on. How do I troubleshoot this? [21:04] hi guys [21:05] <_Sigma_> i have a question regarding network configuration, is this the right channel? [21:05] mikeg3, Been this way always, any cause and effect here? [21:05] Beldar: The context I provided with how I am access the host? --that is all of it. Physically and remotely over SSH. [21:05] _Sigma_, In ubuntu yes. [21:05] <_Sigma_> ok cool. it is on ubuntu. [21:06] L0uk3, Never messed in that environment so no idea [21:06] Why ain't Hexchat the default IRC Client ? [21:06] meek_geek, 3rdparty [21:06] meek_geek: become a motu and do the packaging :) === nibbler is now known as sven_ [21:06] Beldar: Okay--thanks for the assist. I am going to go try lxde. Cheers. thanks again. [21:07] Beldar, its open ? [21:07] Beldar: I just got it installed finally. Fresh Ubuntu install. Mouse which is USB also likes to freeze its pointer. [21:07] np good luck. ;) [21:07] k1l, ok how to do it ? [21:07] !motu | meek_geek [21:07] meek_geek: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [21:07] !nomodeset | mikeg3 may get desktop [21:07] mikeg3 may get desktop: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:08] k1l, wow I would try that [21:08] mikeg3, If you get the de do an update/dist-upgrade in apt-get that may get you up, if not check additional drivers in software sources. [21:10] <_Sigma_> so my problem is that im trying to make a remote host from static to dhpc, install a package under the new settings, then change back to the static ip. to acceve this is im usiing a shell script to swap /etc/networking/interfaces with another copy that has dhcp set up, and restarting networking. but when networking comes back up, it sitll has all the settings from the old copy of the config file [21:11] _Sigma_: Why dont you just use "dhclient" then?

[21:26] i've talked before my pc not booting with lubuntu after nvidia drivers (it boots only after 25minutes or more, and elementary os didn't boot) [21:27] TeraJL: Nvidia drivers do not use VT-x, so there must be another reason, like a broken BIOS or a defective hardware part. [21:30] hi all. please can you help me, my ubuntu server has WLAN and LAN enabled and conencted to the same network, when i boot wihtout LAN connected and then connect it later, all traffic still flows over WLAN, how can i make the switch automatic to use LAN when available ?

Depending on the program, it might work, or might not. What are you trying to run? [21:50] try export DISPLAY=:0 [21:51] kyle__: system-config-services [21:52] OerHeks: how will the remote machine know how to find my local machine if I don't specify my IP address? [21:52] OerHeks: they're separated by 13 hops [21:52] apb1963: Why did I think those were mostly on RHEL variants? Oh well. apb1963 First, try this, without the export. DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm [21:53] apb1963: That should work. It's one of the programs that's prettymuch garunteed to work this way. From THAT xterm window that opened up, run system-config-services, or whatever you're doing. Watch that window to see if there are any errors/problems. [21:54] kyle__: -bash: xterm: command not found [21:55] O_o [21:55] kyle__: it is in fact one of those variants you mention [21:56] apb1963: Heh. OK. So can you yum install xterm from there? [21:56] * apb1963 hides his head in shame and then screams "They made me do it." [21:56] apb1963: don't do a -y, because if it wants to pull in half the world, it's probably not a great solution :) === Guest60958 is now known as Naily [21:57] guys [21:57] i want something [21:57] icloud bypass [21:57] kyle__: now installed. Rerunning. Still no joy. [21:57] kyle__: I'm wondering... could it be firewall related? [21:58] anyone knows how to install a 730m properly? [21:58] apb1963: It could indeed. Can you ssh -X to it? [21:58] if i install drivers i get blackscreen [21:58] kyle__: from where to where? local to remote? or vice versa? Guess I'll try both [21:58] no idea [21:59] kyle__: No package ssh-X available. [21:59] apb1963: From local to remote. ssh -X lets you run remote X applications locally, through an SSH tunnel. [21:59] apb1963: It's a flag to ssh. [22:00] apb1963: kyle@vortex:~$ ssh -X tardis xterm [22:01] kyle__: /usr/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/apb/.Xauthority [22:01] apb1963: Great. So you did "ssh -X somehost"? now type xterm [22:02] You could actually jump right to your system-config-services, but xterm to test. [22:02] hi, how can I re-enable the dialogue that comes up upon putting in a DVD into the drive asking me what program I want to use to open it? (on 14.04) I think I accidentially disabled that [22:02] kyle__: it sits... it waits... stlil no xterm [22:03] apb1963: Is this system on your local network, or on the greater internet with a slow link? [22:03] hi, any way to undo changes made with disks? [22:03] kyle__: Internet... 13 hops... but it's not impossibly slow... worst hop is about 50 ms or so [22:04] daninoz: You should be able to put things back manually, if you know what they were before. If this is because you lost files/data, shut that system down ASAP, boot off of a usb stick, and in the usb live image, install testdisk. Run photorec, recover what you can. [22:05] apb1963: You can choose a marginally less secure but also much faster encryption cipher for ssh then. It could help. [22:05] kyle__: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 [22:05] apb1963: Did you leave export DISPLAY= lines in the .bashrc or .login on there? [22:06] ah I found it [22:06] apb1963: Yes in the .bash_profile on the remote. [22:06] thanks anyway [22:07] kyle__: : Yes in the .bash_profile on the remote. [22:07] kyle I just changed the mount config [22:07] apb1963: Get rid of those lines, then try again. [22:08] daninoz: I've never changed the mount config from disks. You Should be able to fix that pretty easily using disks again, or just editing /etc/fstab. [22:08] kyle__: source it? relogin with ssh -X ? [22:08] apb1963: Once you edit the file so it doesn't have those lines, relogin with ssh -X again. [22:09] kyle__: omg that worked [22:10] apb1963: Awesome. [22:10] kyle__: Thank you! Now please explain why [22:10] apb1963: ssh has a metric-ton of extra features like that. Very useful to read up on sometime. [22:11] kyle__: what I don't understand is why having the display in the bash_profile prevented it from working. [22:11] apb1963: As to why it worked, the DISPLAY variable you were setting was conflicting with the X forwarding for ssh -X, so that's why we had to remove it. [22:11] anyone using github atom editor ? [22:11] kyle__: but it was simply :0.0 [22:12] Why it wasn't working before, is because unless you're actually sitting on the internet (not behind a firewall or NAT), without any firewall on, the server you were connecting to just couldn't push it's X data across to you. [22:13] apb1963: The DISPLAY= stuff is really only useful for local networks. It usually doesn't work even on local networks with different subnets. [22:15] kyle__: That doesnt make sense to me. First, both machines have firewalls - although the remote seems to accept anything... And, if in fact there were no firewall - how could that PREVENT X from pushing data? Logically, to me that makes no sense. [22:15] hi again, it is possible to habve multiple "pre-up" commands [22:15] in /etc/network/interfaces [22:15] kyle__: what's also interesting is that it changed the DISPLAY variable to localhost:10.0 [22:16] Hey. I'm having some trouble with Samba. On my both my desktop and laptop I've marked my 'public' folder for sharing, will full access to everyone, and set their permissions so that anyone can view content, change content and access content. However when I try to access my desktop's public folder from my laptop (or visa versa) I get a dialouge saying 'Failed to mount Windows share: Permission denied'. What have I done wrong? [22:16] apb1963: Are you saying both your machine, and the remote machine, both have public IP addresses? [22:16] kyle__: yes [22:17] kyle__: the remote is 108.xx.xx.xx the local is 174.xx.xx.xx [22:18] apb1963: If that's true (a bit surprising, but quite possible), it's not uncommon for firewall scripts to block everything, then explicitly allow common services. X is usually not among them. [22:18] kyle__: I do have iptables setup to block everything on the local. policy is drop. [22:18] apb1963: iptables -L (as root) should show you the rules. [22:18] kyle__: policy is drop [22:18] he. I had a faulty drive on my raid 5 array and marked the wrong one as failed. Is there any way to unmark it? (since I only have 3 drives in the array, I must at least get the mistakenly marked as failed drive working in order to get to reconstruct the whole array). Any suggestion? [22:19] Ahh. Yeah, if it's droping everything on local, that woudl stop the X forwarding from working. Your system would have to have those ports open, and listening on them (which ain't a great idea with a public IP). === x__root is now known as x_root [22:20] kyle__: so I'm still lost as to why this is working since the firewall remains the same. [22:20] I tried to install a program from autogen.sh with "sh autogen.sh" === rww` is now known as rw [22:20] Hello - is there any specific "trick" to installing Ubuntu properly? [22:20] apb1963: Because when you're using ssh's X forwarding, all the communication goes over that established ssh tunnel. Your system doesn't have to listen for anything. [22:21] Since 2010 I never had any successfully working Ubuntu desktops. [22:21] and came "some autoconf macros required to build the program [22:21] were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden [22:21] macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your [22:21] ACLOCAL_FLAGS? [22:21] " [22:21] kyle__: ohhhhh..... I see [22:21] Something was always broken. [22:21] After 11.04. [22:21] what should i do? === rw is now known as rww [22:21] bagnz0r: Ifyou've not done it before, it's clicking "next" again and again until it tells you it's time to reboot. [22:21] I mean, "properly" [22:21] where is the right place to put a bash script I've created? [22:21] kyle__: so without the -X option to ssh... I never would have gotten this running. [22:21] In such a way it doesn't break. [22:21] so I can call it from anywhere [22:21] Because all I see is glorious indigo color after installation and nothing else. [22:21] On another box it's black screen. [22:22] I never had Ubuntu run okay after 11.04 :/ [22:22] Also > AMD GPUs. [22:22] bagnz0r: its likely graphics driver related.. [22:22] apb1963: Yea. Sounds like it. Never a fun day when that's how you have to configure a server :) but awesome when you have that tool to fix it. [22:22] !nomodeset [22:22] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:22] holstein: Right after installation? I have no clue why the heck installer works properly then. [22:22] bagnz0r: ideally, all your hardware supports linux, and it "just works".. [22:22] bagnz0r: to answer your question: yes, its very easy. so next qeustion [22:23] kyle__: well, I can configure both servers any way I want... I just don't know the best way. [22:23] Okay, what about blank text propt? [22:23] That's all I see now. Could be GRUB related? [22:23] bagnz0r: nomodeset [22:23] k [22:23] !nomodeset | bagnz0r [22:23] bagnz0r: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:23] bagnz0r: that mode should allow you to install whatever graphics driver you need.. unless you have another hardware problem.. [22:24] Ok [22:24] apb1963: Finding, "the best way", can be tricky. It's more something you incrementally come upon, with occasional huge leaps. [22:24] Strange thing is, I told the installer to install bootloader to /dev/sdb (HDD) [22:24] bagnz0r: all i can say is, i literally download the iso, and install and on hardware that supports linux, ubuntu installs and everything just work.. also, resellers can provide that.. system76 for example [22:24] It installed it to my SSD instead (/dev/sda) [22:25] So it literally stopped booting after I shut it down after that indigo screen [22:25] bagnz0r: you are asking questions about black screens.. and blank boots.. that is not related to grub.. with grub, the system wont boot.. is that the question? [22:25] It does not seem to boot now. [22:25] bagnz0r: seem? test it.. does it boot? [22:25] I'm gonna take a look at it, brb. [22:25] kyle__: well, my assumption was that dropping everything and whitelisting what I need is best.... haven't gotten around to changing the remote server firewall just yet. [22:25] bagnz0r: i suggest.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:26] holstein: ...or I can deal with grub manually. [22:26] Anyway, let's see how it works out. Be right back. [22:26] kyle__: although needing to run a public web server is kind of twisting my brain a bit as to how to secure it. [22:26] Ah yeah, forgot to ask. Should I stick to opensource driver with AMD? [22:27] People have been telling me it'd be for the best. [22:27] apb1963: Drop everything is the right first step. And if the system you're on is a workstation, not a server, it's close to ALL you need for a firewall script. Although I like to ssh in occasionally, and monitor it via SNMP from the local network. [22:28] apb1963: Ehh, if it's static content, you just allow port 80 in. if it's php or jsp or whatever, it's more complicated, and starts to depend greatly on what webserver you're using. [22:29] where can i found "yelp.m4" [22:29] ? [22:29] x_root: yelp-tools [22:29] x_root: On your local system, "locate yelp.mp4" [22:29] kyle__: luckily the local machine is my own personal PC. So no ssh required locally. However there are other issues which I'll skip for the moment. The remote is at a webhosting company... and yes, the content is php etc. server is apache. [22:30] kyle__, trism, just tried "locate yelp.m4" and didn't return nothing.. =/ [22:30] x_root: Then it's possibly not on your system, locate isn't being updated.... but I'm pretty sure that's on by default. [22:31] kyle__, strange.. i have yelp but yelp-tools is not a valid command and can't find yelp.m4 to update gnome-calculator [22:31] x_root: sudo apt-get install yelp-tools; [22:31] (i have a trouble with the program and will see if the problem repeat in a most updated version..) [22:33] apb1963: If it's apache, you can put tags in, that can add more restrictions to certain paths apache is serving. For my own site, I block most access to the paths where the configuration pages are. [22:33] kyle__: I'll have to research that... thank you! [22:34] apb1963: No problem! Have fun. [22:35] kyle__: Here's a more immediate question... when I ssh -X into the remote, I login as a regular user.... then if I su to root... I no longer get the xterm [22:36] apb1963: Try sudo bash instead [22:37] apb1963: It's because it's your user, not root, that has the permission to push X back. It gets...complicated compared to local permissions. [22:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7718599/ << new error, what should i do? [22:37] or.. what to install? === sins-_q is now known as sins- [22:42] kyle__: Received disconnect from 108.x.x.x: 2: Packet corrupt [22:43] apb1963: Ugh. Were you able to finish the configuration? Usually that sort of thing only happens when it idles/times out. [22:43] apb1963: There ARE flags to deal with that, but I don't use them too often so I don't know them off the top of my head. [22:44] apb1963: I was able to add myself to the sudoers file and and start a sudo bash... running xterm at that point is what gave me the error [22:45] dammit... talking to myself again [22:45] where is trash files actually present? I can see the trash files if I type "Trash:/" in dolphin [22:45] kyle__: I was able to add myself to the sudoers file and and start a sudo bash... running xterm at that point is what gave me the error [22:45] any alternative to work with corel cdr files? [22:46] daninoz: gimp ?? Please don't ask any followup questions :) [22:48] So yeah. No juice. [22:48] I tried to run it in recovery mode, it got to the point of loading ramdisk [22:48] daninoz: inkscape lists it as a recognized format in the Import dialog, but I don't have a file to try [22:48] And a nice cute blinking text prompt appeared after which nothing else has happened. [22:49] I set the nomodeset param, nothing. [22:49] Zero.

[22:50] Eh... I'm gonna stick to using Ubuntu for my PHP development needs in VM via ssh as I did in the past. [22:51] I give up on the desktop.

( I know it's dangerous, I know I can overheat the processor ). [23:13] the thing was "kepting" (sorry lol) me away from gnome was the big waste of space..
