[00:00] i'd suggest reinstalling xubuntu, from an actual cd or dvd [00:00] jay_: I understand that, but that doesn't make #ubuntu an appropriate place to vent. This channel is for support, and having it cluttered with other discussion hinders that (and prevents people from specifically wanting to look back at all of your many messages to see what has and hasn't already been tried, because there's so much extraneous reading needed). [00:00] i don't have a live CD sorry Ben [00:00] I understand Jordan_U [00:00] Ok. So I am using wireless now on my PC via my Android phone which connects to the house wifi. [00:01] I plugged the phone in and engaged the "tethering" function [00:01] I can reinstall Xubuntu. I know my md5 matched and is good [00:01] And it worked without any other configuration [00:01] does it matter that I didn't have it plugged into ethernet while installing? [00:01] jay_: i'd really recommend getting a blank cd/dvd and installing that way. you seem to have a lot of problems with usb install [00:01] That shouldn't matter [00:01] jay_: follow what Jordan_U suggested... the integrity check [00:02] eeee: do you mean the md5? i already checked that [00:02] I don't know how to check a USB stick for stability though [00:02] jay_: You haven't checked your flash drive though. [00:02] no, it's a check on the usb/cd itself with the iso installed in it [00:02] ohhhh [00:03] how is this done? [00:03] jay_: You do that by selecting the integrity check option that is (hopefully) in the LiveUSB's boot menu. [00:03] I cannot see any wifi network connectivity options. I am only able to connect by wired ones. the wireless option is grayed up. What can be the reason? [00:03] ohhh that thing. i've done that before but will load it on and do it again [00:04] hello, I am looking for experience feedback on installing ubuntu on Western Digital hard drives with the advanced format. Problem or not? [00:04] jay_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck [00:04] jay_: i think you have to press a key while it boots to access the menu [00:05] ok. you know i have Xubuntu right? [00:05] i think ubuntu boots straight into the "try ubuntu" or "install ubuntu" window if you dont press anything [00:05] that's for regular ubuntu. is that going to be different? [00:05] yeah i know, it should be the same though [00:05] okies cool [00:06] ok i'm loading on the USB again with Unetbootin [00:07] then, i'll go and check it on the other pc. the integrity check [00:07] then, i'll likely come back and complain somemore (but only if there's a problem and i need help :) [00:08] i wish i could be like, Linux rocks! everything just worked for me! [00:08] maybe soon eh? [00:08] jay_: Be sure that you're running the check on the machine you plan to install to. [00:08] i will Jordan_U [00:09] I cannot see any wifi network connectivity options. I am only able to connect by wired ones. the wireless option is grayed up. What can be the reason? $ lspci -nn | grep 0280 08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] (rev 01) [00:11] Unetbootin said it might not have finished correctly. i'm going to try LiLi USB Creator instead [00:12] jay_: What was the exact error message? This may be related to the problems you've been having. [00:13] i dunno now cause i closed it. i'm trying it with LiLi USB Creator. it says this version isn't in it's library but will try to install with similar parameters [00:13] user1_: i'd try install a driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2103062 [00:13] hm [00:14] isnt there a package that has all the drivers? [00:15] Jordan_U: it says "This Linux is not on the compatibility list. However, LinuxLive USB Creator will try to use same install parameters as for Xubuntu 14.04 "Trustu Tahr" (Xfce)" [00:16] jay_ you having problems with secure boot? [00:16] is there a different program for creating a bootable usb that is really good for linux? [00:16] not that i know of PurpleHaze [00:16] PurpleHaze: not what is going on here, he can't install any packages after a fresh install. [00:16] wow [00:16] I've already tried Pendrive, Unetbootin and LiLi USB Creator [00:17] use rufus if you are on windows jay_ [00:17] yumi [00:17] I've never had a problem [00:17] I could not close Firefox i had to do ctrl+alt+prtsc and the code to reboot [00:17] they all are kinda stupid programs in the way that, they don't use the parameters from the ISO, they use the ones in their internal list [00:18] oh i tried Yumi too zero [00:18] I just forgot about it [00:18] yumi worked for some older distro's but not for newer ones [00:18] I’m trying to mount a VirtualBox Guest Additions dir [00:18] Sunstream: the desktop crashed or just firefox? [00:18] But [00:18] jay_: What is the md5sum of your iso? [00:18] When I mount it, it’s root-owned [00:18] already checked it Jordan [00:18] What do I do so my user can use it? [00:19] jay_: I want to know what it is to be sure what image you're using. [00:19] jay_ sou you cant install anything? Have you tried clearing the apt cache? [00:19] ajf: run the installer with sudo [00:19] it needs sudo anyway to install i think [00:20] ae446659057ee49e57773bf446398856 [00:20] that’s not what I need help with [00:20] that's fro winmd5free [00:20] from* [00:20] hello [00:20] PurpleHaze: I'm a newb. i don't know anything about the terminal commands [00:20] eeee: I’m mounting something. It’s mounted as root:root, I want it mounted as my user [00:21] jay_: What is the file named? (I'm trying to figure out why these tools don't recognise it as being Xubuntu 14.04). [00:21] jay_ sorry Ive come in mid support , whats the problem you have? [00:21] I have an understanding of how booting works, how computers work, and about the general concepts of linux (like the package management that gets verified before going into the repositories), but terminal commands are gibberish to me [00:22] file name is xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64 [00:22] ajf: run chown to change the permissions [00:22] problem is my wifi doesn't work and the cause is apparently, that I can't install anything at all [00:23] like synaptic for example [00:23] jay_: That's the correct name too, so I don't know why the tools aren't recognising it. [00:23] jay_ during the install? [00:23] I dunno Jordan_U lol i seem to have problems here than no one else has ever had before [00:23] ajf: nevermind [00:24] try it yourself maybe Jordan_U? [00:24] i don't think it's just my pc? i've downloaded Unetbootin and LiLI USB Creator in different ocassions [00:24] I’m mounting something. It gets mounted as root. How do I mount it as my user? [00:25] Mounting with “mount”, that is [00:25] i'm pretty sure the software isn't up to date with current version even though it says it is [00:26] jay_ so your trying to get isolinux to boot from a usb ? [00:26] If there is another way to make a USB bootable i'd be happy to explore it. [00:26] ajf: you can edit the fstab [00:26] eeee: That the only way? Anyway, it doesn’t matter now [00:26] jay_ isolinus/syslinux [00:27] When one guy helped me, he told me the problem is that the syslinux and isolinux the installer use aren't from the ISO image. he said they're from a database that the software has. it could be outdated and that could be why it doesn't recognize the newer versions of distro's [00:27] I'm trying to get a ISO to boot from a USB [00:27] jay_ what you using (unetbootin?) what iso you using? [00:27] jay_: Are you still waiting for one of these tools to finish? [00:28] file name is xubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64 (ISO) [00:28] nope i'm not waiting on anything [00:28] just advice hehe [00:28] jay_: Did one of the tools finish? [00:28] Just wondering if ubuntu amd-64 bit packages are compiled to take full advantage of the registers on a 64bit cpu. I'm using AMD E-300 APU (64 bit) with Lubuntu 13.06 amd-64 and to be honest it's really slow and freezes up when firefox, inkscape, pinta and pcmanfm running together. [00:28] Unetbootin or LiLi. i have both downloaded PurpleHaze [00:29] jay_ are you using the first or second option for iso? [00:29] Should I try the 32 bit version? even tho that might slow things down at times? [00:29] jay_: Did one of the tools finish? [00:29] wooter, and that is a compaq driver. not dell [00:29] I'm using the ISO option. not pulling a new download each time cause that'd be a waste of data Pumpkin-_ RaMcHiP [00:29] PurpleHaze: [00:30] Jordan_U: no. I canceled it. which one do you want me to use? [00:30] jay_ if you use the first option it tries to download, if you select the second option you can use a local iso [00:30] Hmm [00:30] Can you cd into a symlink without having bash follow it? [00:30] I want .. to act as if it’s in the place the symlink’s in [00:30] I usually use the second option cause i get the ISO from the website of the distro [00:31] user1_: same atheros chipset [00:31] jay_: Follow these instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [00:31] jay_ and its freezing or erroring? [00:31] isnt there a package that has all the drivers? [00:31] wooter, ^ [00:31] jay_ or just the boot dont work? [00:31] not sure mate [00:32] LiLi USB Creator is fine. it just uses similar parameters for the installation. Unetbootin sometimes* gives errors but not always [00:33] jay_ so you can create the usb iso without error? [00:34] jay_ usually unetbootin struggles with isos that havwe been created to boot using syslinux [00:34] most times PurpleHaze there are no errors. I'm doing the pendrive thing Jordan_U [00:35] how are you suppose to know is an ISO uses syslinux to boot? remember, i am very NEW lol [00:35] jay_ Ive created a custom livecd based on Gentoo once I made it boot using syslinux iso style unetbootin created the isos ok but they wouldnt boot [00:35] jay_: Once you've done the integrity check we'll know we have a solid starting point, until then there are too many possible problems, so please keep your focus on accomplishing that for now. [00:36] ok cool [00:36] it's 50% done jordan [00:36] jay_ you would need to mount the iso and list the files before could advise more [00:37] jay_ its usually /syslinux and its syslinux.cfg you want [00:37] i would love to keep working on this sometime soon guys. i'll check the file for integrity on the other pc that it's going to be installed onto. I have to leave soon though. i'm going to watch the fireworks for Canada Day downtown [00:38] pendrive completed without errors [00:38] so far so good [00:38] have a good night guys. i'll probably be back tomorrow [00:39] jay_: If the integrity check passes, try installing while connected to the internet via ethernet (if you can). [00:39] Hmm [00:39] Say I make a hard link to a directory [00:39] ok thanks Jordan_U [00:39] How do I remove that hard link without destroying the dir’s contents? [00:40] so he could boot? [00:40] Hi all. [00:40] hi dave [00:40] hi PurpleHaze, hows it going. === Eric^^ is now known as eeee [00:41] DaveG: its going Linux [00:42] That i would guess would be something your interested in! [00:42] ive just found sshfs [00:42] ajf: hard link not allowed for directory [00:43] damnit [00:43] Mazing! [00:43] :P === scotty is now known as Guest3856 [00:44] Linux keeps setting milestones with file systems or FS over network [00:45] Anyone setup ?this "short-stroke" on there hdd [00:46] hmm is that php short code? [00:46] Linux always sets challenges for us lovers to keep us interested. [00:47] Well thats how it treats me anyway. [00:47] me PurpleHaze? php? [00:48] Its the perfect OS it lets the hacker do what they want , its also easy to use for noobs (unstable releases may be different) [00:49] I remember first using Linux it was .configure; make; make install and good luck removing it, no yum install or aptitude install never mind software center [00:49] It was my interest in hacking that got me into linux in the begining. [00:50] DaveyG yeah so many blue screens and registry hacking gets kindas boring [00:50] Building from source for me is always a mine field. miss one dependant and everything falls apart. [00:51] Wifi sec was what got my interest in the first place PurpleHaze [00:51] package managers do it all now very well, RHEL/Fedora suck badly for desktop packages [00:51] my printer is no longer installable in ubuntu 14.04. [00:52] Im sure with enough effort you can get it working again quem [00:53] quem if your printer doesent work wil be because its not compiled in the kernel, is it a new or old printer? [00:54] Or get a pi and run a print server. [00:54] I remeber the days when drivers werent handled byh the kernel that was dependency hell [00:54] it's a Samsung ML-1610W. Ubuntu finds it alright, but stalls during the installation of its driver (splix) [00:55] used it with many previous versions of Ubuntu without any trouble. [00:55] is it a propreitary driver? [00:55] no, it's free software. [00:58] hello, I am looking for experience feedback on installing ubuntu on Western Digital hard drives with the advanced format. Problem or not? [00:58] does the printer have wifi or cat5 connections quem [00:58] i've always used it through wifi. [00:58] quem you say you install drivers Ive not done that in any distro for years, you sure its not the propritary driver menu? [00:58] it has cat5 too. [00:58] Have a look at this, http://www.bartbania.com/linux-2/cups-raspberry-printer/ [00:58] if you have a pi laying around it might help [00:58] PurpleHaze: yeah, quite sure. it clearly states that the driver is free software when it asks. [00:59] Have a question about drm video in 14.04 firefox what channel do I need thank you [00:59] irssi: Does it present a 512 logical sector size or 4KiB? (Note, I am *not* asking about the physical sector size) [00:59] whats your issue jcstarken [00:59] Greets. I am trying to use subversion on my Ubuntu Server but when I am unable to commit. I am how ever able to check out. I have added my user to the subversion group and the subversion group does have read/write in the folder permissions. Could anyone point me to where I might be going wrong? [01:00] DaveyG: I have installed pepper flash and hal and deleted the Nativecache dir and I still can not get amazon prime video to work [01:01] PurpleHaze: ubuntu downloads the driver from the splix website, and i get the impression they don't support 14.04 yet.. [01:01] Ive never tried getting prime to work. [01:01] DaveyG: I had it working in 12.04 but then went to mint 17 for awhile got board and prefer ubuntu so install 14.04 and can not get it for the life of me [01:01] quem if its downloading from the source thats a good chance [01:03] DaveyG: Hulu youtube all work just not amazon [01:03] DaveyG: and I know it will because most of the repos for mint 17 are the trusty ones [01:04] Gentoo FTW [01:04] You in the US jcstarken [01:04] DaveyG: yes [01:04] oh. [01:05] i wonder if amazon prime is trying to use silverlight rather than flash or html5 [01:06] DaveyG: I have no idea I had it working in mint 17 with out that so I do not think so [01:06] ahoy. I just downloaded the 64-bit ubuntu 14.04 off ubuntu.com and the file says ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso why does it say AMD? [01:07] I did not select the mac version [01:07] As a short term fix you could consider running virtualbox in linux [01:07] DaveyG: ok thank you [01:08] apeoid: amd64 is the same as x64 or x86_64. [01:08] apeoid: AMD doesn't mean mac [01:09] when I click the drop down menu "choose your flavor" it says 64-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit Mac (AMD64) so you understand my concern [01:09] apeoid: intel's first 64 bit processors were not backwards compatible with x86 and weren't very successful. amd's 64 bit standard was, so intel adopted it too [01:09] ah ok... thank you I wanted to check that before I burned iso [01:10] unless you have a mac or decade old pc, the amd64 iso is what you want. [01:11] ok [01:11] the 32-bit one will run too though, but presumably slower. [01:12] I have a 25yr old pc [01:12] I have a 10 year old one that sounds like a vacuum cleaner [01:12] and I have to put it on its side for it to boot [01:12] or, if it's already on its side, I have to stand it back up [01:12] um a vaccume cleaner sound usually means you have a powerloop [01:13] just cooling fans [01:13] yeah [01:13] a power loop on the fan [01:14] it's not all the time full blast [01:15] my suggest = check your P4 connectors [01:16] any idea why I can't boot to a usb hard drive? [01:17] apeoid does it show up in bios or uefi [01:17] I installed a xubuntu distribution off live DVD with the other hard drives disconnected [01:17] yeah [01:17] shows up in uefi [01:17] says insert media or hangs on the splash [01:17] oh uefi did you create a /boot partition [01:18] yes I selected the drive to make a boot [01:18] I did that with the other drives connected, then I disconnected the drives and tried again [01:19] that's why I'm trying a different fork now [01:22] DaveyG: I GOT IT!!! === scarface is now known as Guest20279 [01:26] hello, I am looking for experience feedback on installing ubuntu on Western Digital hard drives with the advanced format. Problem or not? [01:27] Hey everytime I press my mousepad the pp switcher for unity pops up. [01:27] The alt-tab one how do I remove that option [01:28] How do I diable alt-tab switch for the touchpad. I think it comes upwhen I trple tap [01:31] irssi: I'm still waiting for you to answer my question. [01:33] trying to play on pogo, says I need to update Adobe Flash, system is up to date. What could be the problem please! [01:34] oh I am using Chomium too === jibran|afk is now known as jibran [01:48] hy [01:52] Jordan_U: sorry, I did not see your answer. Yes, it is the transition from 512 to 4092b [01:53] 512B [01:54] Zerodeamon: why ? [01:56] when I try to boot ubuntu on a hard drive connected on USB 3.0, it just hangs at the UEFI splash screen [01:56] no fun === cschneid_ is now known as cschneid [01:57] apeoid: watch your settings bios / UEFI [01:58] and perhaps the secure boot [01:58] I futzed with all of it and tried and tried [01:58] this crap ... [01:59] I'm going to see if the asus mobo has some issues [01:59] irssi: Ubuntu should handle 4KiB logical sectors, but it's likely that your boot firmware will not support booting from it. That said, it's also unlikely that your drive actually exposes a logical sector size of 4K. [02:00] So I have to change my motherboard? [02:01] irssi: What makes you think that your drive exposes 4KiB logical sectors? [02:03] irssi: Just knowing that it's "Advanced format" doesn't tell you if it presents 4KiB sectors logically to the host, and most "Advanced Format" drives don't. [02:05] Jordan_U: it is marked on the hard disk documentation for sale [02:05] irssi: What is? [02:06] I want to change the hard drive and I hesitate if I can use a disk that uses the advanced format because I understand that there were problems with Linux. [02:07] irssi: i've never had a problem with such drives in ubuntu. i have an encrypted raid with mdadm and luks made out of four of them, plus a fifth for the boot drive [02:07] http://www.materiel.net/disque-dur-interne-2-5-pouces/western-digital-wd-blue-2-5-sata-iii-6-gb-s-500-go-7mm-92910.html [02:07] how it works is the drive has 4KiB sectors inside of it, but it still says 512B to the host [02:07] tpw_rules: good news, what ubuntu version ? [02:08] like 9.04 through 14.04 it hasn't broken [02:09] irssi: Nowhere on that page do I see it stated that the drive presents 4KiB sectors to the host, only that it uses "Advanced Format". [02:12] irssi: The WD Blue does *not* present 4KiB sectors to the host, it presents 512 byte logical sectos even though it has 4KiB physical sectors. [02:12] the installation seems to be a problem [02:12] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Format [02:13] ah okay, for the system does not change. This is simply for internal HDD [02:13] okay now that i've upgraded to 14.04, i can't vpn anymore [02:13] vnc rather [02:14] irssi: Correct. For best performance you still want to have partitions aligned to MiB boundaries, but Ubuntu has been doing that by default for many years (longer than Windows has IIRC). [02:14] oooooooh I see. the dvd drive booted in legacy bios mode [02:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [02:15] Thank you for this information and for your patience! Jordan_U and tpw_rules [02:16] how should I format a drive for ubuntu 64 bit linux [02:16] or should I present a simple volume ntfs [02:16] apeoid: I would recommend just letting Ubuntu's installer handle partitioning for you. [02:16] apeoid: you will need to go into your bios to switch legacy emulation off if that's your concern [02:16] dual boot apeoid or just linux? [02:17] well I have a new 3 gig barracuda and external enclosure with usb 3.0 [02:17] so I would hopefully like to install ubuntu on that drive and leave windows alone completely [02:17] Jordan_U has a good point there. [02:17] so I want to have a bootable usb external hard drive [02:18] As far as i know you will have too change the windows mbr on the main hard drive what ever you do [02:18] Oh i see. [02:20] Hi Ubuntuers. I'm getting the following error when loading emacs [02:20] Error while loading 50dictionaries-common: Symbol's value as variable is void: debian-aspell-only-dictionary-alist [02:20] Ive always had issues doing that. You can use a usb boot key to load linux and mount the portable drive as a storage drive. if you look into linux uid i think you should be able to tell the boot key to always load that hard drive under the same mount path. [02:21] Im using ubuntu 14.04. Any ubuntu emacs user worked about this? [02:21] What you trying to install rambo123456 [02:22] rambo123456: try loading as a different user.. [02:22] I had simular issues with 14 does 12 work? [02:29] I can't seem to uninstall wine [02:30] apt-cache policy says Installed: (none) [02:30] but wine is still in /usr/bin/wine [02:30] I have aproblem with KDE dolphin, I can't figure out how to run executables... when I click on executable files it pops out "open with" dialog [02:31] !appdb | joseluis64 [02:31] joseluis64: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:32] vladfi1: you can type "wine" in a terminal, and you'll see something run..

[02:32] I'm not talking about wine [02:33] Is it possible to download and install ubuntu using terminal I know you can do it with xubuntu but can you? [02:33] hi... I am trying to restore my sound.... using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting I've determined it's only this user profile that's affected.... how do I restore the default setting, thanks [02:33] not everybody talks about wine, please consider that. [02:33] the problem is that apt seems to think that wine is not installed [02:33] sudo apt-get ubuntu-? [02:34] yet there is a wine in my /usr/bin [02:34] I suppose I could just remove it [02:34] DogBallFish: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dektop [02:34] Thank you. [02:34] or try purge command to remove wine and start fresh? [02:34] I have tried purge [02:34] apt-get purge wine [02:35] how may run an exceutable from KDE dolphin?

[02:36] 14.04 [02:37] Hmm [02:37] vladfi1: if you manually installed wine, the package manager wont "see" it.. [02:37] I am on Ubuntu Studio 14.04 so I might not be able to help sorry [02:37] hm [02:37] I just did an apt-get autoremove [02:38] and apparently wine1.7 got removed [02:38] vladfi1: ? whats the question? that *is* what that command is intended to do.. [02:38] well [02:38] apt-get remove wine wasn't working [02:38] but apt-get autoremove apparently did [02:38] ok now wine is gone === def_anoch is now known as [AFK]def_anoch [02:39] How do I set SeLinux to Disabled? [02:40] would it be [02:40] Sudo apt-get remove SeLinux? [02:41] !SeLinux [02:41] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [02:42] [02:42] Hey [02:43] hey DogBallFish [02:43] Hello? [02:43] Oh hi [02:43] DogBallFish: ubuntustuduio ships the lowlatency kernel, but you can run the generic if you want/need [02:43] I have a question [02:43] would you like me to ask you for your question? [02:43] press 1 for yes 2 for no. lol [02:43] DogBallFish: you can also make your own kernel with or without se linux or whatever you please [02:44] Nvm I was getting an error but there was a bypass [02:44] DogBallFish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [02:45] Ah its seems there is more chance that you could help me than me helping you! [02:45] holstein: I ran the sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop does that only change the desktop or can I change it into full ubuntu? [02:45] DogBallFish: you mean, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ? [02:45] Yes [02:46] hi... I am trying to restore my sound.... using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting I've determined it's only this user profile that's affected.... how do I restore the default setting, thanks [02:46] DogBallFish: as i stated before, you have a different kernel, and many other tweaks.. [02:46] Hang on I gotta reboot for the new desktop [02:47] newbie question, what command do people use mostly to search for a file from cli? [02:48] DaveyG: http://www.howtoforge.com/finding-files-on-the-command-line [02:48] if i plug my samsung galaxy S3 i can see my phone on nautilus and browse it but if i try to copy something to it it says touch: cannot touch ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C008%5D/Phone/Sounds/asa’: Operation not supported [02:48] i would expect such an old phone to work without a problem [02:48] am i missing something? [02:48] thanks holstein [02:49] does the find command need refreshing or does it search everything new? [02:50] sometimes i dont get the results i thought i would get. [02:50] Hilikus: is the device functional in any supported operatating systems? can you read data without issue? [02:50] let me try in windows [02:51] find . |grep 'foo' [02:52] Whats better, ubuntu, xubuntu or lubuntu? [02:52] Does find use the dbupdate something or will it find any file even if its new. === DogBallFish is now known as Holstein_ [02:52] Holstein: :3 [02:53] Linuxmint :P [02:53] Does linuxmint support multiple desktops? [02:53] !mint | Holstein_ [02:53] Holstein_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:53] linuxmint is ubuntu based [02:53] ive tried ubuntu and xubuntu before. unbuntu seems to be the most supported out there is that helps at all Holstein_ [02:53] hi... sorry to keep asking, but I am trying to restore my sound.... using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting I've determined it's only this user profile that's affected.... how do I restore the default setting, thanks [02:54] krustyklimber: You may have to reflash your ubuntu distro. [02:54] Mint is not an easy to get started distro. Although i do love it. [02:55] the whole thing, from the CD? [02:55] Holstein_: Please change your nick to avoid confusion and extra highlights of Holstein. [02:55] Jordan_u: :3 === Holstein_ is now known as jordan_o [02:55] hah [02:55] DaveyG: I like Mint because we can use Gnome 2 (Mate) but all my server is Ubuntu === jordan_o is now known as Jordan_UU [02:55] jordan_o: This is a support channel, please stop the games. [02:56] Jordan_u: Ok [02:56] Know if Gimp 2.8.4 in ubuntu 13.04 has GPU rendering enabled? I notice GEGL operations in the tools menu. Can tell if hardware acceleration is enabled though. === Jordan_UU is now known as Shmerby [02:56] g146m026 [02:57] !ubuntu [02:57] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com === Shmerby is now known as ubotttu [02:57] holstein: yes, it windows i can write to the phone without problem. i confirmed in a win7 VM [02:57] ubotttu: Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your ban. [02:57] g146m026 i like mint because its so quick and simple. But my linux knowledge is just not there yet to be able to use it as my main linux distro. [02:58] can you explain the process of a reflash, I'm more of a GUI type user.... not computer savvy [02:58] Hilikus: good.. that means the device is likely completely functioning properly [02:58] yes [02:58] Hilikus: i would try mounting from the command line, and mv or cp there as well.. see if you can get an error message that is helpful [02:59] what dev though [02:59] it is not an UMS [02:59] but mtp === Guest60537 is now known as ezhik`_ [02:59] krustyklimber, did your sound work at somestage using that distro that your using now? [03:00] Hilikus: id just poke around til i see it [03:00] Hilikus: if all you want to do is move files, consider something like airdroid or an ssh/ftp server option.. you dont need wires for the transfer [03:00] yes it worked, up until today, when I tried to get my mic working... I did something, I cant figure out [03:01] Does anybody know what happens to slock when you ssh into a machine with it running? [03:01] Is it pretty safe to say that the screen won't magically turn on? [03:03] akurilin: the machines i ssh into, running ssh servers, are headless.. so, they have no screens to turn on, and they are not logged in like that locally [03:04] akurilin: i would set up a test with whatever screen locker you are using, and see what happens.. ssh shouldnt do anything to the x session like that.. [03:04] using Pulse Audio I somehow changed settings, I have since removed Pulse, hoping to restore default settings, unsucessfully [03:04] akurilin: if you have a desktop running x on DISPLAY=0, then from ssh you could type 'DISPLAY=:0 slock' to lock the screen [03:05] akurilin: however if you simply run slock from an ssh that is not in a display environment (you can check with 'echo $DISPLAY') then it will probably give you an error about missing X [03:05] i feel your pain krustyklimber, ive had that before and never resolved the issue without wiping and starting again [03:05] akurilin: addittionally, there is 'vlock' which will lock your shell, if you need something like that [03:06] additionally, I can't spell :P [03:06] ok thanks Davey.... now I gotta figeure out where that dang Ubuntu CD is :P [03:06] krustyklimber: ubuntu no longer fits in a CD [03:07] xangua: What? [03:07] I here that to krustyklimber, you got a android phone? [03:07] xangua: it hasn't for awhile ... [03:07] krustyklimber: i like using pavucontrol ..try installing pulse and pavucontrol, get a file playing, and look at the routing in pavucontrol.. see that you have everything "up" in alsamixer (carefully) and that you have a device in "aplay -l" [03:07] the network install disk for ubuntu does if you cant find a dvd around. [03:07] Whats the most stable version a ubuntu? [03:07] xangua: if you simply must install from a CD and not a usb, get the ubuntu server edition - you can skip out of the server options during install and opt to download and install the graphical desktop stuff from apt-get [03:07] holstein, kriskropd great info, thanks guys. [03:08] way over my head holstein, sorry [03:08] Shmerby: they are *all* ubuntu.. [03:08] xangua: however, I haven't used ubuntu with intended grpahics in years, so i'm nto the person to ask about that - it used to be 'sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop' i think, but like i said ... years ago [03:08] Shmerby: latest stable release is 14.04 [03:08] !14.04 [03:08] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [03:08] Shmerby, i would go for 12 my self. [03:08] hi [03:08] DaveyG: Why is that? [03:09] hi rickmacomber [03:09] anyone tested the x-swat ppa with an r9 290? [03:09] sup [03:09] lol pavu... pulse audio... man I am dumb :) [03:09] DaveyG: when you say "go for 12?", you mean, 12.04? [03:09] i have found there are small problems that i cant solve in 14 that 12 doesnt have Shmerby [03:10] yes 12.04 [03:10] Hi [03:10] DaveyG: I will try that on e. [03:10] hi andrew2 [03:10] kingbeowolf: ppa's are not officialy supported, also that ppa tells you don't expect any stability on daily use [03:10] DaveyG: likely due to specific hardware support.. [03:10] ok I will try re=installing pulse audio.... it used to fix my mic, which stops working everytime I restart [03:10] How do you do the red name thing, or is that only for admins? [03:10] brb [03:10] although im not anything more than a old newvie to linux. [03:11] !stable [03:11] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [03:11] Owned, Holstein. [03:11] yes holstein, def hardware spec choice. I use older hardware with linux and have had issues with 14. [03:11] xangua, "This PPA is for stable upstream releases of X.org components." [03:11] Even Ubottu says no. [03:11] Shmerby: Any message containing your nick will be highlighted by your IRC client. [03:12] Oh... [03:12] Ubuntu* [03:12] i use 12.04 where its appropriate, and 14.04 where its appropriate.. im stating, that the differences are likely specific to hardware [03:12] Wish app grid worked on 12.04 [03:12] app grid is closed source [03:13] im sure, listen to holstein, he has a much better understanding of linux than i do. [03:13] use Muon Discover [03:13] If I have Ok Low end working hardware with 4gb of ram and 500GB Hard drive, which Ubuntu will be better? [03:13] i would go for 14 from what holstein is saying. [03:13] Shmerby: any of them - what kind of CPU and GPU? [03:13] App grid is closed ? It uses open libs. [03:14] if you have hardware issues then go back to 12.04 [03:14] I had someone build this PC for me while back never used so I don't know. [03:14] Shmerby: xubuntu and lubuntu use XFCE and LXDE which are some of the lightest weight desktop environments you can get [03:14] I would think you could use the live boot cd to test if the hardware works with your setup. [03:14] pulse audio shows music playing in my rythm box, but I can't hear it [03:15] I want to run it. [03:15] DaveyG: im not trying to imply that.. and im sure you'r opinion is *quite* valid.. im just saying, be cautious of blanketly stating 14.04 has some issues that cant be solved.. when, for a new user, 14.04 may be a "better" choice... we really dont know, and i think it would be best for the user to try both and use what is best for them [03:15] Gonna make CD's for both Ubuntu 14 and 12 [03:15] !Ubuntu [03:15] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:15] App grid is closed and they even have a warning whne you install it [03:15] use Muon Discover [03:15] Oh no [03:15] it is awesome [03:15] it is quit and built with QML [03:15] i agree with that holstein, that makes perfect sense. [03:16] OK ty [03:16] I had that install in pure Ubuntu. [03:16] Why would app grid be closed source ? [03:17] andrew2, i dont know [03:17] All I know us that its better then Ubuntu app store. [03:17] andrew2, bro look at Muon Discover [03:17] andrew2: "better" is a matter of opinion.. though, you should use what works "Best" for you [03:17] yes apt-get works best for some people [03:17] Is there an app grid channel ? [03:17] Which version should I get for Ubuntu 14? 64 bit or 32 or amd64 I have 4g in RAM [03:17] Omg really. [03:18] Better means the best [03:18] Shmerby: in that case, i would use 64 [03:18] Andrew2: #appgird [03:18] andrew2, http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/muon-suite-1-4-alpha-released/ [03:18] #appgrid [03:18] that is open source andrew2 [03:18] Shmerby: you need to know if your CPU is 32 bit or 64 bit - if you have 4GB of ram, it likely means it is 64 bit [03:18] is there a way to restore to the setting I had running yesterday? [03:18] Ok [03:19] krustyklimber: if you saved them.. [03:19] yeah... not smart enough to have figure out how back=up worked.... not much of a proactive user [03:20] How do I tell if gimp has gpu hardware rendering enabled? [03:20] Why Ubuntu is awesome, *ONLY FOR MAC OSX OR WINDOWS* Opens terminal 1 minute later running that app. [03:20] krustyklimber: you may consider a fresh install the "easy way".. since that may take about 10 minutes or less.. [03:20] Yup [03:20] hpuser4466L Try look at your BIOS setting it might say. [03:20] There's others distro besides ubuntu [03:20] I use a respin [03:21] andrew2: this is the specific ubuntu support channel, though, friend.. [03:21] holstein.... lol nothing takes me ten minutes on a computer.... I couldn't even figure out how to burn this version onto a cd, and had to buy it [03:21] krustyklimber: its too big for a CD.. [03:21] !mini [03:22] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:22] holstein: Not mine. Mine holds 4 gb this download is close to 1gb. [03:22] and you can add what you want/need ^ over the network.. or a lubuntu iso should fit on a CD [03:22] I know it is now too big for a cd.... that's why, if I can't plug in a cd and have it magically put Ubuntu on my computer I am probably screwed [03:22] Shmerby: i was stating, for 4gb's of memory, i would use 64bit, if 64bit is supported by the CPU [03:22] Compress [03:23] Its not magic [03:23] andrew, to me it might as well be magic [03:23] andrew2: you cant "compress" the iso onto a CD like that.. they are as tight as possiblel [03:23] possible* === xragnar_ is now known as xragnar [03:23] andrew2: The Ubuntu DVD images are already compressed. [03:24] Oh [03:24] that is why it takes more space on install then it does on dvd [03:24] I know that much. [03:24] What is "Dummy write" I am about to burn ubuntu 14 on to a CD [03:24] am I using incorrect terminology.... cd, when I should say DVD? [03:24] i definitely have accelerated GPU (ATI HD Radeon) and glxinfo says "direct rendering: Yes" but can;t tell if gimp is GPU enabled. [03:24] Shmerby: 14.04... that would be a "test write"... AFAIK [03:25] Maybe zip it down , then unzip on computer a VM it. [03:25] Shmerby: ubuntu doesn't fit on a CD, use a DVD or a usb stick [03:25] *DVD [03:25] Think of doing that. [03:25] andrew2: it wont fit on a CD.. please use the #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [03:26] Load it in a VM I said no CD needed. [03:26] I can get it onto a USB stick.... just never figured out how to get it back off.... I guess I'm not smart enough to be helped, thanks for trying, one and all [03:27] Actually no zip needed. I said that wrong. [03:27] krustyklimber: you can dd copy the iso's to dvd, or use something like unetbootin [03:27] Live boot. [03:27] andrew2: there is no way to make the iso work on a cd for a normal installation.. thanks though [03:27] Unetbootin [03:27] greek to me holstein [03:27] Omg [03:27] What a weirdo [03:27] !install | krustyklimber [03:27] krustyklimber: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [03:27] Iggy bin for him [03:27] I don't even know what dd means [03:27] krustyklimber: you should be able to read about a few of those options there ^^ [03:28] krustyklimber: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ is about unet.. though, i think there may be easier suggestions as the wiki page above [03:28] lol reading and comprehending are likely to have a gap in there.... but I'll try, thanks again everyone [03:29] Any one use xfce ? [03:30] Found a channel for it. [03:31] any body there ? [03:31] andrew2, did you check out muon discover? [03:31] andrew2, it looks almost exactly like App grid except it is open source. [03:32] guys guys , ihave aproblem please any body help ? [03:32] mido just ask [03:32] ican't make boot from win7 cd on ubuntu [03:33] iwas on win8.1 i just can't handle with linux and ican't go back to windows === NaStYdoG is now known as Guest1102 [03:34] mido you don't have the original windows disk that came with your pc? [03:34] no this cd not original but it was working when iwas on windows [03:35] Omg this hopless [03:35] Bios settings [03:36] Bios settings have no problem i checked it 5 times before now [03:36] Make CD ROM boot before hard disk [03:36] In boot meno [03:37] Menu_ [03:37] i did it before [03:37] So yes bios [03:37] i also tried from usb and nothing [03:37] it keeps telling me boot from cd/dvd ... [03:37] You set CD Rom before HDD ? [03:37] then it go into ubuntu [03:38] yes [03:38] Ok [03:38] Do ever get in Ubuntu logo ? [03:39] it show ubuntu logo after this word (boot from cd/dvd) === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:40] Then let it do that. [03:40] after logo it's going to ubuntu system that ihave installed before [03:41] my problem here iwant to install windows system and ican't [03:41] maybe ubuntu changed files on bios or boot info iam not sure [03:42] You need to state the issue better [03:42] Windows will just write over Ubuntu install. [03:42] No it doesn't change biod [03:43] I have a bit of lag on whenever i move a windows and I dont know what it is please help.. [03:43] Unity ? === lukemorrison is now known as Guest28804 [03:43] bryan: what is your systems's load? [03:43] when i was in windows system icould make boot from cd [03:43] now iam on ubuntu and ican't [03:43] Unity is bit heavy for some computers [03:44] From bios. [03:44] what do you mean? sorry just started using linux. [03:44] I have xubuntu [03:44] That's spreate from the Ubuntu install bios is micro chip [03:45] yes iam begginer on ubuntu [03:45] bryan: open up a terminal and type uptime. [03:45] what does the load adverage say [03:45] The contains very basic code [03:45] For test the hard ware at start up [03:45] 0.49, 1.05, 1.11 [03:46] utfans05: that might not be very telling, since uptime is going to treat each core as 1.00 and we don't know how many cores he has ... [03:46] andrew2 : so what can ido now ?? [03:46] You need to put CD ROM at the top of boot list. [03:46] I've told you [03:46] krisd: but It's a start... bryan now in that terminal run top and see what's eating up your processor and ram. that's gonna tell you what's causing your lag. [03:46] s/krisd/kriskropd [03:47] Its unity [03:47] idid it before , believe me it didn't work with me [03:47] what am i looking at? [03:47] He's runnign xfce. xbuntu. [03:47] well there is nproc [03:47] I'm done mido [03:47] i want to remove Unity [03:48] how should i do that? [03:48] top shows you all of your running processes. you need to see what's usign up all of your resources. [03:48] sudo apt-get remove unity or sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? [03:48] Install another desktop environment first [03:48] andrew2 : ok np iwill try again [03:48] andrew2, i have KDE already [03:48] !nounity | kingbeowolf [03:48] kingbeowolf: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:48] kingbeowolf:you need to have another DE installed first. [03:48] He still needs another desktop [03:49] sydney, i have KDE [03:49] they keep moving lol [03:49] Oh KDE that awful for me. [03:49] kingbeowolf: Why do you want to remove unity? [03:49] kingbeowolf: it should not get in the way... [03:50] sydney, i just prefer KDE [03:50] bryan: what's the top 3-4 those are going to be your highest usage processes. [03:50] kingbeowolf:Is unity getting in the way? [03:51] I just don't want multiple things running at the same time [03:51] I only have isntalled google chrome and docky at the moment [03:51] sydney, for some reason when you install the KDE desktop it doesn't just run KDE it runs some other desktop application as well [03:52] bryan: google chrome is a known memory hog - do windows lag only when you have applications running or does it occur from boot up? [03:52] kingbeowolf: Ok,what is the programs name? [03:52] sydney, i don't know but if you install kubuntu-desktop and then restart your system it will revert to what ever your Unity desktop was and then it will reboot [03:53] its choppiness and I just installed google chrome and i have 4 gb ram [03:53] sydney, it basically flashes the Unity desktop before rebooting [03:53] kingbeowolf: so,are you in kde,or in unity? [03:54] sydney, im in KDE [03:54] Test [03:54] bryan: it could be anything from: gpu driver issues, Xorg issues, compositing issues, cpu load - if you close google chrome, do the windows still render choppy? [03:54] yes [03:55] kingbeowolf: So,I am having trouble understanding.What is your problem exactly? What version of ubuntu you running? [03:56] sydney, i have told you my problem [03:56] bryan: can you install htop for me? it's a fancier version of 'top' with color highlights and individual load bars for each cpu core in your machine - to install htop. go back to that terminal you ran before, close 'top' with ctrl+c then type 'sudo apt-get install htop' - it will ask for admin password and ask you if you are sure you want to install - when it is done,, simply load htop [03:56] bryan: i would look at my GPU driver, if i have nvidia or AMD, and there is a proprietary one i could try.. [03:56] sydney, when i restart it flashes the Unity desktop before closing down [03:57] sydney, but i am in KDE [03:57] sydney, this is 14.04 [03:57] kingbeowolf: And might i ask what version of ubuntu you are running? [03:57] kingbeowolf: oops!! [03:57] :D [03:57] kingbeowolf: weird... [03:57] kingbeowolf: you mean, the greeter? [03:58] ok ill do that [03:58] done [03:59] bryan: if this turns out to not be a cpu load issue, I would say it is a bug in Xorg - if this does turn out to be a cpu load issue, then either you need to find a way to make your CPU work less by getting the GPU driver setup right or, if no gpu in machine, getting a dedicated gpu for the machine [03:59] holstein, no not what is it called lightdm? [03:59] holstein, it doesn't flash lightdm [03:59] it flashes the actual Unity desktop [03:59] salut [03:59] my Unity wallpaper is different then my KDE wallpaper [04:00] I see all my desktop icons and then the Unity wallpaper [04:00] bryan: when you run htop, at the top you will see CPU and MEM and such, do you see only one bar for CPU? or are there multiple? [04:00] it has a gpu [04:00] U have an idea in that lag issue [04:00] kingbeowolf: whats the problem, though? i mean, you used to have that, correct? are you thinking its running in the background? [04:00] Try seeing about installing the 2D version if unity . [04:00] holstein, yeah i think it is running in the background [04:01] kingbeowolf: confirm if it is or not.. [04:01] bryan: if there is only one CPU bar, it might be safe to assume (from your previous load average paste) that it is in fact a cpu load issue [04:01] holstein, i already uninstalled it now [04:01] it shows 1 2 3 4 and then mem and swp no cpu [04:01] holstein, but it still shouldn't do that right? [04:01] bryan: okay, then that weeds out cpu load, it doesn't weed out gpu driver failure or xorg though [04:02] bryan: bryan 1, 2, 3 and 4 means you have a quad core cpu [04:02] kingbeowolf: i dont think its showing that becuase its running in the background.. i used to see some really odd things at shutdown with a via chip.. none of which were running on the hardware at that time [04:02] bryan: that load average you saw before with uptime can go as high as 4.00 [04:02] yeah [04:02] ok [04:02] can I raise it [04:03] holstein, well to me it seems like a bug but i guess i will reboot and see if it still happens [04:03] thanks [04:03] bryan: it will rise base don how hard the computer is working (lower is better) 1.00 of your maximum 4.00 means you are only using approximatley one quarter of your cpu's processing ability on average [04:03] based* [04:04] then its not that right? [04:04] Hi all, I have a weird networking issues on one of my Ubuntu machines, my machine can connect to my network either by me giving it a manual IP or receiving one from my router and it can resolve domains, however when i try to ping an address or visit a web page, it cannot connect. I receive "Destination Host Unreachable" [04:04] bryan: it means your cpu is not struggling to try to do something it shouldn't be doing :) it's part of the troubleshooting process to rule out potential issues [04:05] bryan: unfortunately, it gets harder to trouble shoot from here, let's start with GPU drivers - do you know which gpu you have installed and do you know which driver you have installed? [04:06] I dont [04:07] anyone have any ideas? [04:07] i have the box of the laptop [04:08] it says intel hd graphics 3000 [04:08] bryan: intel is usually well supported.. are you up to date with upgrades? [04:08] bryan: we can find out which card you have from terminal, type 'sudo lshw -class display' it should indicate which gpu you ahve [04:09] bryan: holstein is right, install usually works out of the box without driver issues [04:09] s/install/intel [04:10] * kriskropd is groggy and prone to typing mistakes [04:10] holstein: what upgrades are you refering to? [04:10] Krisropt just put the command line. now what do i do? [04:11] bryan: ubuntu upgrades... open a terminal and use the command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and reboot if you get a kernel update, and test [04:11] Adzz: you said you can get an IP from your router via DHCP, does this mean you can ping your router (lets say 'ping 192.168.1.1') but can't ping google? ('ping 8.8.8.8') [04:11] Adzz: if so, that sounds like connection failure on your router [04:12] kriskropd: That is correct, but from my other computers/phones i can access the internet fine, im connected to the same router now, talking to you... [04:12] or DNS... i manuallly added DNS routes to my server for that in one case.. [04:12] bryan: well, lshw should tell you which card you have, I expect on a line indicating 'product:' it will say intell graphics 3000 or something [04:12] i assumed it was related to my router, as kriskropd is suggesting, Adzz .. try manuallly using openDNS or google DNS [04:12] holstein: the only issue witht hat solution is DNS isn't needed to ping 8.8.8.8 [04:13] kriskropd: true.. [04:13] Adzz: you cant ping 8.8.8.8. ? [04:13] Adzz: that is absolutely strange, were you messing with the firewall by chance? Iptables or anything like that? [04:14] holstein: and also, if it was a DNS fault, why can i still resolve google.com to 74.125.237.105 [04:14] Adzz: can it? [04:14] kriskropd: nope nothing... the only thing that has change is more computer connected to the router, but they are disconnected now... I've removed my manual address settings and rebooted, I'll see if that changes anything... [04:14] holstein: it can :/ [04:15] that awkward moment when you start typing git commands into irc [04:15] bryan: if you can confirm that lshw indicates intel graphics, then there isn't much more assistance I can give you - you might need to ask in #xorg or #xfce maybe [04:15] i have a question [04:16] i have a tar.gz and when uncompressed it's size is smaller than the tar.gz file [04:16] is this possible? [04:16] bryan: #xubuntu might be a good palce too - they would be more familiar of the combination of software you are using for your desktop environment [04:16] bryan: you can try using a vesa driver as well, to isolate the driver in the GPU http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 [04:16] markolo25_: What is it? [04:16] markolo25_: Yes, though rare. [04:16] holstein: you can, in fact, ping 8.8.8.8? [04:17] to know the size i use du -h for the extracted and ls-l for the tar.gz [04:17] markolo25_: i would ask the creator for a sum, but, it depends on what the goal is... [04:17] kriskropd: It seems that its now fixed, after i put it back on to a DHCP address... Odd, since it was always on a manual address up to now [04:17] markolo25_: Uusally, a tar file is an archive, (multiple files). [04:17] holstein: because, if so, then this sounds liek an issue with your browser (assumign you are using one to indicate if network is available or not) [04:17] yea [04:17] it doesnt show anything saying intel graphics [04:17] what i did was i have the tar.gz inside of an ext3 [04:17] kriskropd: not me, though.. [04:17] and extracted it to ntfs partition [04:18] holstein: sorry >_< my bad [04:18] is there a way to make ls -l human readable [04:18] kriskropd: no worries.. [04:18] Adzz: because, if so, then this sounds liek an issue with your browser (assumign you are using one to indicate if network is available or not) [04:18] markolo25_: The reported file size may differ on other file systems. [04:18] !cookie | kriskropd [04:18] kriskropd: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:18] so the size is in the same format as du -h [04:18] oh ok thank you usr13_ [04:18] it's probably just the difference in file systems [04:18] kriskropd: I wasn't able to ping 8.8.8.8 prior to now, all i was able to do was resolve domains and ping my router (192.168.0.1) [04:19] how do ask on another # [04:19] markolo25_: But some files don't really compress. Graphics are sometimes not compressable. [04:19] ok [04:19] bryan: you can join another channel by simply typing '/join xubuntu' [04:20] Noob [04:20] however, could you also paste what you see as output from 'sudo lshw -class display' ? [04:20] just found it [04:20] thank you [04:20] kriskropd: /join #xubuntu [04:20] andrew2: please dont use names and terms like that.. and only use this channel for support Q&A.. thanks [04:20] is it possible to make du -h only display the folders size and not every sub directory [04:21] Hey, I am having some issues with dpkg and need some assitance. I try to run sudo apt-get clean, autoremove and purge but it is telling me it can't becase E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. [04:21] markolo25_: yes [04:21] If it matters it also tells me that there is no disk space, but there is plenty [04:22] ok [04:22] it turns out they are the same size [04:22] df xpistos df -i [04:22] xpistos: what happens if you run 'sudo apt-get -f' [04:22] the tar.gz is 524G and the extracted is 527G [04:22] should be good :D [04:22] i guess i should've just tared it without compression [04:23] kriskropd: sudo apt-get what? [04:23] markolo25_: If it is only one file, there would be no reason to tar it. [04:23] xpistos: sorry 'sudo apt-get install -f' [04:23] it's not just one file [04:23] it's one of my storage drives for family photos [04:23] i guess you're right pictures don't compress >_> [04:23] xpistos: don't include any specific packages, just let apt-get try to clean up and get waht it needs [04:23] kriskropd: tells me there is a disk full error, but I am sure it isn't [04:24] apt-get clean comes back fine [04:24] markolo25_: So they are .jpg images, right? [04:24] xpistos: Have you run a fsck recently? [04:24] yea [04:24] apt-get autoremove gives me the same -f issue [04:24] xpistos: and if you type 'df -h' how much space do you see available [04:24] genii: no [04:24] hi there. I am trying to run an upstart script, however the log says that it can not access the jar file, what am I doing incorrectly here is the script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7734754/ [04:25] scratch that wrong post [04:25] kriskropd: root has 2.6 gb avail [04:25] markolo25_: Image files that are in .jpg format are already compressed, (that is the advantage of the .jpg format). [04:25] bjrohan: In the upstart script, you are not giving the correct location to the jar file, where is it located? [04:26] bodhilinux kicks ass [04:26] so fast [04:26] yea i figured, compressed files cannot be compressed again so next time i'll just tar them if the drive they're on now starts dying [04:26] genii: not really sure how to run fsck [04:26] !ot|bulldog666 [04:26] best ubuntu desktop enviro [04:26] bulldog666: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:26] xpistos: you might have a dependency bug somewhere, I had this with php 5.2 a while back [04:26] Adzz: Yep, :-( [04:26] is ubottu a bot [04:26] yes [04:26] bulldog666: bodhi is actually not ubuntu.. should have its own support channel... [04:26] bjrohan: Where is the jar file located? [04:26] markolo25_: JPEG is " is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography." See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jpeg [04:27] xpistos: can you paste the entire output ot apt-get? it should indicate somewhere what packages specifically are causing the problem [04:27] kriskropd: it does keep saying there are unmet deps [04:27] isn't it just a desktop enviro for ubuntu [04:27] it seems just like ubuntu [04:27] bulldog666: no [04:27] kriskropd: sure one sec let me get pastebin [04:27] can you please explain? [04:27] bulldog666 it's not supported here. sorry. see the bodhilinux folk for support. [04:28] im not looking for desktop support buddy [04:28] this is the first time i've heard of bodhilinux [04:28] bulldog666: sure.. ubuntu is ubuntu.. anyone can take ubuntu and make something different, such as bodhi.. thus, not being ubuntu anymore [04:28] bulldog666: bodhilinux is just another distro [04:28] bulldog666: it's all linux with a bunch of open source software piled on top [04:28] ithought that was whats debian was for [04:28] thanks [04:28] xpistos: Usually, boot to the recovery by selecting it from grub menu. Select drop to root prompt.Then run it on the suspected partitions. Like if /usr is mounted to /dev/sdb2 then run like: fsck /dev/sdb2 ...when done checking partitions you can issue exit and get back to recovery menu to reboot or continue normally, etc [04:28] bulldog666: what software you include = your distro [04:28] !flavors | bulldog666 [04:28] bulldog666: !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. [04:29] bulldog666: but, bodhi is not an official flavor.. bodhi is its own thing.. just like ubuntu is "based" on debian, but is not debian anymore [04:29] that desktop manager looks awful bulldog666 [04:29] is there a irc client for ubuntu terminal? [04:29] Adzz: I realized that is the problem. I am having problems with the script, I last played with it early in the am, and lost track of a later revision [04:30] sorry guys. son came in with a speeding ticket. [04:30] bulldog666: there is no ubuntu terminal - by default I think it uses gnome-terminal or something [04:30] xpistos: how much :( [04:30] bjrohan: That's fine, its easy to fix, you just gotta let me know the path to the jar file you want to run, and I'll edit the upstart script for you to fix it [04:30] bulldog666: irssi... weechat.. [04:30] bulldog666: sorry, i misunderstood [04:30] bulldog666: yes, there are irc clients for terminal, such as irssi or weechat [04:30] Xchat [04:30] thanks [04:30] Adzz: I have it edited and rebooting, will let you know how it goes in a few :-) [04:30] i meant to say ubuntu server [04:30] thanks thou [04:31] Not great though [04:31] Hey, I'm trying to do a find and replace on a bunch of html files' links to make them https but it doesnt seem to be working, whats wrong with my command? http://pastie.org/9345540 [04:31] andrew2: for the terminal.. xchat is GUI [04:32] bulldog666: if you are using terminal frequently, you ought to look into either 'screen' or 'tmux' (I prefer the latteR) [04:32] ill check those out [04:33] Hey [04:33] Adzz: Well, I am trying to start a bukkit server (minecraft) it starts, but now the server throws error messages 10x / second for some reason, the last line keeps repeating: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7734787/ [04:33] bulldog666: if you don't know what either are, I would start with 'tmux; [04:33] s/;/' [04:33] On the livecd, is there any sort of gui tool we can use to resize crypto partitions? I've tried using a guide I found on ubuntu's site, but I couldn't get pvresize to work, because it was complaining that the blocks were already allocated. [04:34] I was hoping that whatever I did wrong, maybe a gui tool would do correctly. [04:34] i have used gparted [04:34] bulldog666: [gnu] screen is a bit aged and ony can compete with tmux with a lot of familiarity adn configuration [04:34] Xchat is great [04:34] gparted isn't for crypt partitions though [04:34] Adzz: here is the updated script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7734792/ [04:34] only* and* - maybe I should go soon [04:34] Hey, I'm trying to do a find and replace on a bunch of html files' links to make them https but it doesnt seem to be working, whats wrong with my command? http://pastie.org/9345540 (using sed) [04:35] bjrohan: and what error are you getting? [04:35] Gorroth, i dont know. i just used it to resize an encrypted partition on 14.04 32bit yesterday. it asked for the encryption key then it let me work with the disk [04:35] andrew2: xchat is *not* commandline, friend.. thats the current question [04:35] ubuntu-studio: Oh really? [04:35] yes [04:35] ubuntu-studio: Maybe I should try that then. I didn't think it worked at all with crypto services. [04:35] Yeah it can be [04:36] rtnb: really you should ask in #sed, however all you need to do is sed 's/http:/https:/g' [04:36] didnt know there were channels for every command :-P [04:36] but thank you ill try that [04:36] rtnb: there aren't, but #bash #awk and #sed are very educational channels to hang around in :) [04:36] That last line keeps repeating over and over and over: [21:31:25] [Server thread/INFO]: Unknown command. Type "help" for help. [04:37] I am not sure what is sending it that command [04:37] http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=3299 [04:37] 14 miles an hour [04:37] Link is for xchat [04:38] ...cmds via terminal [04:38] so i could use some partitioning advise: i have a P4 w/ 1.2 GB DDR1, 160GB IDE, 120 GB IDE and 120 GB IDE. this system will be used as as audio production workstation. i was thinking use 1 of the 120's for "/", the 160 for /home but i dont know what's best to do with the third 120 GB [04:38] ubuntu-studio: I think you should check your LUKS partition. I don't think gparted did what you think it did. http://gparted.org/features.php --search for luks [04:38] andrew2: sure.. the question is for a command line irc client.. and xchat is not one === bulldog666 is now known as batchfile [04:38] It can be [04:38] Check the link [04:38] your lvm and luks are probably in an inconsistent state [04:39] kriskropd: actually I can't use that because that would modify all my external links too which I dont necessarily want to do [04:39] http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=3299 [04:39] Gorroth, it's possible. after resizing the drive i ended up just deleting all the partitions and starting over [04:39] rtnb: I didn't understand that from original question (plus I'm a bit tired, sorry if It was my mistake) [04:39] Peep game [04:39] andrew2: i did.. and its not.. that is, as stated, and read, inputting text from shell/terminal to xchat.. not a CLI chat client [04:39] That's... completely the opposite of what I want. [04:39] Don't put [04:40] Don't player hate [04:40] but it asked for the encryption key and took 45 minutes doing something [04:40] kriskropd: yea im just trying to change this specific link to https. from what i understood if I used pipes i don't need to escape the slashes, but idk first time doin it [04:40] rtnb: you can still do it tho , just include more unique address data and escape the forward slasshes so '/' becomes '\\/' [04:40] Let's you chat from a terminal [04:40] But then you ended up wiping out partitions [04:40] And send the cmds to xchat [04:40] andrew2: sure. but that is not the question.. the question was for a CLI chat client.. [04:40] b4 i did that, gparted rescaned the drive and at least had the appearance that it worked [04:40] kriskropd: why 2 backslashes? I thought just one escapes it? [04:41] Damn right hater [04:41] Doing back flips on ya moms grave son. [04:41] rtnb: sorry, you are right, you only need one [04:41] andrew2: feel free and chat in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel..

(blue pill) [04:56] Here [04:56] xpistos: the output of df -i shows 'inode' usage. each file created gets it's own inode - at 100% usage there are no inodes left to creat any additional files.

[04:57] Noob [04:57] bjrohan: try this for your upstart http://paste.ubuntu.com/7734868/ [04:57] Here's the reason: it uses readlink, which is different on OS X, Solaris, etc. I would rather that script be in python so you get platform abstraction.

And also, is this default user also a member of other groups?

[05:39] diverdude, righto [05:39] it still shows it as 100% [05:39] I was able to run apt-get update ok [05:39] iwant to change to kde desktop .. it looks familiar with me . how please ?

[06:29] i will install this and see if it fixes libegl1-mesa-drivers-dbg [06:30] Bashing-om: running dist-upgrade [06:30] I have a 12.04LTS with "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" set to LTS, why isn't it suggesting there's 14.04LTS out? [06:30] anton02: A googling suggests libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 but that should already be installed if you're using Intel iirc [06:30] anddam: It won't until 14.04.1 [06:30] hateball: how so? isn't 14.04 a version as well? [06:30] just asking [06:31] anddam: It's apparently how it is, I don't remember the logic behind it. There are ways of forcing an upgrade tho [06:31] hateball: I found this laptop not used for like a year and now I'm updating it, I checked the website and saw 14.04LTS [06:31] Bashing-om: that is done and no on to apt-get -f install [06:31] hateball: sure, I can remove the LTS only setting [06:33] Bashing-om: that looks good [06:33] xpistos: so far so good, what now does 'dpkg' see for problems ( if any) -> sudo dpkg -C <-. [06:33] oh it actually suggests me 12.10 [06:33] should I go through each release while upgrading? [06:33] anddam: Yes, that's how it goes. But you can "do-release-upgrade -d", it should put you on 14.04 and not 14.10 [06:34] Bashing-om: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7735229/ [06:34] anddam: ... or wait for the patched 14.04, aka 14.04.1 :) [06:34] hateball: the package i mentioned fixed mah problem, having said that im using mint 17. so maybe it's not auto installed like in ubunut [06:34] anddam: The upgrade to 14.04 will not be available 'til the 1st point release 14.04.1 July 27th.

After 12.04.1 release there are no proprietary drivers available. [07:10] hello === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [07:11] is there an easy way to make apt install packages and configuration files at a custom directory ? [07:11] without rebuilding from source package [07:12] leeyaa, why would you possibly need that [07:12] bazhang: i have a custom build software that i am going to upgrade its dependancies and packages to use default versions coming with ubuntu 14.04 LTS. currently everything is at /usr/local [07:13] my question is is it possible to change that [07:13] Hi. [07:13] what custom software is this leeyaa [07:13] So I'm trying to set up a LAMP stack on my Ubuntu Server, and I'm having trouble with MySQL. [07:13] maybe [07:14] bazhang: what do you mean ? it is custom build, like build and designed 10y ago [07:14] It wants the password for the root user, but... Ubuntu doesn't ask me to set a password for the root user. [07:14] I never set it. [07:14] it's sudo [07:14] atm we are using ubuntu 6 and we are upgrading to ubuntu 14.04 LTS [07:14] 6.06? [07:14] sudo is the default root password on ubuntu? [07:14] yeah [07:14] so is it possible to set custom paths ? [07:15] use sudo, dont set a root [07:15] Oh [07:15] Yeah, I get that, but MySQL is asking me for the root password nonetheless. [07:15] I'm supposed to be able to push enter if there is no root password (which there isn't, because I'm not using root) [07:15] A_Pickle: mysql has its own password and you can easily reset it if needed [07:15] Okay, maybe I should back up. [07:16] I'm trying to set up an OwnCloud server. [07:16] is it possible to mount an ext3 file system image as a user and writing files with uid 0 (root) (I want to avoid fakeroot usage) [07:16] I've installed apache, and I'd moved on to installing and configuring mysql [07:16] A_Pickle: mysql has its own users, the db root is different from your system root [07:17] Hmm... [07:17] A_Pickle: "ubuntu 6" is ubuntu 6.06? that is end-of-life since 2011 [07:17] I'm using Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS [07:17] k1l, its leeyaa [07:17] k1l: im the one using ubuntu 6.06, and im going to upgrade stacks to 14.04 LTS [07:18] well, rebuild them from scratch [07:18] A_Pickle: oh sorry, was mixing nicknames :/ [07:18] but i need to know how to set custom paths for packages [07:18] leeyaa: how did you set the paths in the packages you built the first time ? [07:18] ikonia: build them manually, no debs [07:18] leeyaa: so wht are you trying to do now ? [07:18] leeyaa: honestly: make a backup of stuff you still need and make a clean install of 14.04. that is way faster and easier [07:18] and thats what we want to avoid now [07:19] leeyaa: exactly what do you want to do ? make .deb's ? [07:19] ikonia: no, use default ubuntu packages instead of our custom build ones. i cant replace all but i need to replace stuff like apache, memcached etc [07:19] leeyaa: so what's stopping you ? [07:19] sorry this is quite hard to understand what you actually want ? [07:20] ikonia: all the software is located at /usr/local including some dependancies and libraries. i need to know if it is possible to change apt paths [07:20] leeyaa: no [07:20] hi [07:20] ikonia: no at all ? [07:20] leeyaa: the packages you install have the paths the files they use as part of the package [07:21] ikonia: what if i rebuild it from source deb package ? [07:21] leeyaa: then they will not be the ubuntu packages, they will be your custom packages [07:21] ikonia: i see [07:21] so not possible to customise paths, darn [07:22] I don't know why you need custom paths, sorry, I don't understand why you need custom paths [07:22] ikonia: because whatever software we are using is looking at /usr/local/whatever [07:22] leeyaa: change it then [07:22] not possible, too long to explain [07:23] leeyaa: there are certainly much bigger things to be aware of such as the differences between (for example) apache 1 in 6.06 or apache 2 in 14.04 [07:23] that can have a significant impact on your application [07:23] ikonia: its apache 2.1, some are upgraded some time ago [07:23] leeyaa: again so 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 - differences [07:24] yeah ik [07:24] i guess it will be fun [07:24] anyway [07:24] MySQL is trying to use root@localhost [07:24] A_Pickle: try #mysql [07:24] A_Pickle: mysql does not use root@localhost it's a database [07:25] A_Pickle: a client uses user@host, and the user/host part is what you provide [07:25] A_Pickle: use the database passwords you selected when starting the database [07:25] Okay [07:26] So I ran [07:26] sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation [07:26] It said [07:26] NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL [07:26] SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY! [07:26] In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current [07:26] password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and [07:26] you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank, [07:26] so you should just press enter here. [07:27] So you guys are positive that this is MySQL referring to the MySQL user called "root," and not the system user called root? [07:27] A_Pickle: it is the mysql root user [07:27] Okay. [07:27] A_Pickle: and there can be many root accounts on mysql [07:28] A_Pickle: you installed mysql with the ubuntu package from ubuntu? === dk_ is now known as Guest11200 [07:38] I'm... I'm not sure if I did. [07:38] I installed mysql [07:38] sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql [07:38] With that command. [07:39] I'm following a tutorial, for 12.04 LTS. I figured it would be applicable, and that I could learn by getting my hands dirty. [07:39] It never prompted me to set a password for the MySQL user "root" during install. [07:40] Man, I need more monitors. === jibran is now known as jibran|afk [07:44] So, "sudo" and "#mysql" do not work as mysql passwords. [07:44] When using the "mysql -u -p" bit [07:45] The user is most likely root, and the install *should* have prompted you to create one [07:45] a password, that is [07:45] !sudo [07:45] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [07:45] Again, totally separate from mysql root/users [07:46] A_Pickle: If no password has been set, try "mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD" [07:46] replacing newpassword with something better, obviously [07:46] I tried dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 [07:46] And that gave me an option to change the password. [07:47] HOLA [07:47] Is dpkg-reconfigure sort of the command line equivalent of doing a reinstall, or a "change" from the Windows Add/Remove Programs list? [07:48] YEAAAHHHH [07:48] Success, my friends. [07:48] I thank you for your assistance in moving an Ubuntu n00b a few steps forward. [07:48] IRC is the best. [07:50] So, onto the next step of my OwnCloud installation. [07:50] If you were installing PHP, what would you do? [07:50] What command would you use? [07:51] you need a web server that is capable of serving php [07:51] Yeah [07:51] Wait, what does that mean? [07:51] hi there, shame on me i know but i found someting like &> in my old bash script and know im wondering what was it for ? i guess it is something like "redirect both stdout and stderr to.." [07:51] *now im wondering [07:52] A_Pickle: you appear to be running before walking [07:52] Perhaps. [07:53] I set up an OwnCloud server on a Windows machine in the past. [07:53] right, you're not doing that now though [07:53] Haha, right you are. [07:53] I mean, I just... I know what I want to do on this thing, and I'm... excited to get it up and running. [07:54] s [07:54] Are there any good tutorials that you'd recommend I try before jumping into that? [07:54] http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/owncloud-ubuntu-nginx-setup-guide/ [07:54] there you go [07:54] I'm trying to reboot an EC2 instance from ssh, but it never completes. I have to use the web interface to forcefully reboot it. This last attempt, I still have an ssh connection open to the instance, but it's not accepting new connections, so apparently, it does start the shutdown process, it just never completes. Anyone have any idea on how to debug this? [07:55] Dang. [07:55] Well, thank you leeyaa. [07:55] I guess... part of me is content typing commands from tutorials on the web [07:55] thats the last thing you should do [07:55] ...but I kind of want to know, at least with some rudimentary understanding, what those commands are doing. [07:56] unless you fully understand the commands [07:56] I don't. [07:56] And I realize I probably won't understand, comprehensively, what they do without... [07:56] ...growing the beard, so to speak. [07:56] errr no [07:56] just read about what they do [07:56] or read a basic introduction to ubuntu [07:56] Nonetheless, I'm reasonably comfortable on the (admittedly, much simpler) Windows command line. [07:56] https://help.ubuntu.com [07:57] I've checked that out. [07:57] And, I do try to read before I come over here and present you kind people with my problems. [07:57] that doesn't appear to be the case [07:57] Oh. [07:58] ddd [07:59] I'm also not seeing rc.local being run, think there's a correlation here [08:00] A_Pickle: read the manpage for the commands before using them [08:00] f3lix1: check your acpi drivers, i had similar problem with vmware vms [08:00] they were not shutting down completely [08:01] hello :) i'm having this totally crazy issue... on my box time is standing still... to be exact it goes from 12.00 CET to 12.01 CET and then it jumps back to 12.00 CET... ntpdate seems to help for just a minute or so and it is back to 12.00 CET again... how do i nail down this crap? and why would it happen at all? [08:01] this is on ec2, though. And these instances used to do so previously. They've received some updates, and also I'm doing my own init.d scripts, so I think either thing is the culprit. Just not sure how to debug it… [08:01] *do so: reboot [08:01] monsune: failing hardware clock is a common cause [08:01] monsune: run ntp [08:02] ikonia failing hw clock you say... [08:02] possibly [08:02] or just a hardware clock that's out of sync [08:02] it started happening out of the blue [08:02] it was all fine last night when i left it [08:02] not sure how that changes anything I said [08:03] but why would it reset every minute? [08:03] because it's out of sync and fighting with your system time [08:03] literally 60 seconds [08:03] or because it's failing [08:03] or beacuase you have some sort of automated job setting the clock [08:03] i checked crontab and there is nothing in there [08:05] Okay, figured it out. It's my init.d scripts that're blocking. [08:07] ineed help there with kubuntu desktop [08:08] guys ican't change my desktop to kubuntu desktop [08:08] i setyp kde but logo only that changed [08:09] ops trigger [08:09] !ops trigger [08:10] so! no one will help me there [08:11] what are you trying to accomplish [08:11] monsune: ?

[09:06] jumanji, just fyi, reading other Flasks server installs, the one you posted is nothing like what I'm finding for Ubuntu, maybe I've not searched it properly or something. === abdul is now known as Guest5970 [09:07] ki7mt: the problem is caused by start-stop-daemon removing the # from the script its trying to execute [09:07] I don't know why it's doing this [09:07] but this is preventing it from being able to run the script [09:08] jumanji, Ok, well at least you know the issue then. [09:08] hi [09:08] ki7mt: yeah but this is even more puzzling and i can't find any answer [09:10] Okay guys, please help me. How can I set vim as default text editor? It should open when I double click text files. I've already created a vim desktop link so that I can choose vim from the context menu. Unfortunately there isn't a "Set as default" option. [09:10] start-stop-daemon removes the # from the shebang #!/usr/bin in the script it tries to run. how to prevent this?

[09:16] that entire line [09:16] Hi. I’ve setup my first 14.04 server (usually 12.04) LAMP stack. Very basic WP site hosted on Digital Ocean. My problem is that the machine seems to either lock up or possibly hibernate at random times. Everything stops. No SSH/web/MySQL or even PING. It's as if the machine is turned off. Occasionally it'll start working after 30/40 mins by itself, a couple of times I got it to respond by waking up a prompt on the virtual console (after 6 hours down [09:16] last night), a couple of other times I had to hard reset. Everytime I look through /var/logs and see nothing suspect. [09:16] It's monitored by New Relic and that shows resources are well inline with availability. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks. [09:16] yellabs-r2, man totem ahs rezise options like 50% 100% and 200% but I didn't see anything for specific X,Y dimensions. [09:16] it is freaking unreadable [09:16] bcvery: ^^ [09:16] yellabs-r2, You may have to run it, the resize it manually. [09:16] try #ffmpeg suore [09:17] i kind've figured this would be the place to ask this; can anyone tell me anything about a possible Windows Phone conversion to ubuntu or any other OS for that matter? i ask because i know about the ubuntu mobile OS but last I checked it was only in beta and only had support for 2 or 3 different phones.

[10:37] try #ubuntu-server perhaps RuNnNy [10:38] IceBot3000, I did not install apparmor myself, it was either shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 or installed as a dependency [10:38] Abhijit, thats not right. keep it on topic here [10:38] IceBot3000, I don't even know what apparmor does [10:38] !apparmor [10:38] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [10:38] join #ubuntu-server [10:38] try /join [10:39] it sais there it's installed by default since Ubuntu 8.04 ... [10:41] IceBot3000, is there any reference about switching to selinux? Are there any caveats I should know about before doing this? I mean, I guess it's there by default for a reason.. I wouldn't like to break something [10:41] loostro: It would be a significant undertaking, but worth it if security is a high-priority [10:42] apparmor is fairly primitive in the security protection it provides compared to selinux [10:45] Selinux is hardcore security, most folks dont need that level of security, in fact that average user probably would not know how to leverage the capability anyway. [10:47] I disagree, everyone needs a secure system [10:47] It's provided by default on Fedora Linux for example [10:47] Ok, do you think the average user can write just "one rule" that works ? [10:48] No, but the software developers should write the rules initially, not the user [10:50] IceBot3000, Exactly, and if a user pops in here asking what is Apparmor or Selinux, odds are, they are not not going to be able to to write the required rules to leverage Selinux kernel enhancements.

[11:08] a fix would be to not launch apps via CLI I guess [11:08] *sigh* [11:09] ki7mt: Fix the bugs, and then provide a patch once completed.

[11:17] Im trying to add my mative 1280x1024 setting to the Nvidia xserver, but I dont know how,anyone? [11:17] nick07: Are you using nouveau driver or nvidia binary? [11:18] how can i see? [11:18] Upon switching my computer on today I am greeted with a horrible theme (windows 2000 era) and jagged fonts. Menu bars are now back below the window title bar too [11:18] It's just, I'm learning linux, this is my second year useing it. I'm proud that after my last total-system-crash I was able to restore my system purely from console. [11:19] loostro, that is always a great sense of achievement :-) [11:19] nvidia 304, yes binairy driver [11:19] (it did not start becouse i had /var/log on root (/) partition and some php circular reference filled up my disc :P) [11:19] I just enabled the 304 driver and rebooted [11:20] nick07: Then you should have nvidia-settings installed, so launch that [11:20] and I'm even more proud after that I replaced 12.04 with 14.04 this time moveing /var to a seperate partition (as well as home and some others) :P [11:20] yes, but every weird resolution is in the list, except, ofcourse, my native 1280x1024 [11:21] it's just.. I've never before had problems of Apparmor, I wasnt even aware of it's existance, or the whole apparmor vs selinux discussion [11:22] so, to summarize, you can't expect every fresh user go reading and studiying deeply the system architecture and libraries before actually running the system [11:22] most of us "learn as we go" [11:22] loostro, most folks aren't aware of it (apparmor), as it normal works in the background doing it's thing. Only time it comes up and people are made aware, is when it fails for some reason. [11:22] so any idea how to get the 1280x1024 in the nvidia setting? [11:23] but thanks for pointing that out, I'll read about it, and consider switching to selinux :) [11:23] nick07: It should be possible to force manual settings in there... but I'm not near a machine with nvidia drivers right now so I can't check where [11:23] nick07: which drivers are you using? [11:23] nvidia 304 [11:24] nick07: does xrandr show 1280x1024 as an option? [11:24] before withou the nvidia driver I used xrandr to adjust my resolution to 1280x1024, with no problem [11:25] nick07: I don't think xrandr cares, just do "xrandr 1280x1024" [11:25] no, xrandr doesnt work anymore [11:25] RuNnNy: it cares if the modeline isn't defined [11:25] so many [11:25] nick07: What do you mean it doesn't work? [11:25] 16:38 a fix would be to not launch apps via CLI I guess [11:25] sorry. emacs noob error. [11:26] histo: lol, misunderstood [11:26] nick07, Im on the 331 driver, with 3x9800GT's (older cards), using 1280x1024 .. just checked it, no issues to speak o. I can't recall when I last used the 304 driver. [11:26] I just installed the nvidia driver, I needed the driver so some software needs it. Just 10 minutes ago xrandr method worked, after the nvidia driver, it doesnt [11:27] nick07: Does 'xrandr' show 1280xwhatever as a resolution availible? [11:27] no it is not showing up in the xrandr list now [11:28] qq: researchin kickstarting, postscripting is this pure commands or is this bash scripting [11:28] nick07: you'd probably have to add a new modeline [11:29] !modeline | nick07 [11:29] nick07: A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [11:29] histo, nick07: iirc you can do that from within nvidia-settings [11:29] I just don't have access to such a machine currently to confirm [11:30] ok, but I have a .sh file with the correct modelines, and that doesnt work [11:31] nick07: follow the instructions from ubottu for calculating the modeline, then you can xrandr --newmode "1280x1024" ........ === root is now known as Guest64133 [11:32] nick07: add it to xrandr and switch to it then. === Guest64133 is now known as jow [11:33] I did that already, before the driver, see my rules : xrandr --newmode "myMode" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA-1 myMode xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode myMode [11:33] with the nvidia driver, this doesnt work [11:34] nick07: pastebin the output of the script that is run [11:37] it is saying:Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) [11:37] A different name is solving the issue for 1 sec [11:38] What? [11:39] if I give it another name then "1280x1024_60.00" like "myResolution" it gives no error,but after reboot "myResolution"is refused with the same error [11:40] Does anybody know how to listen to voice messages on Skype for LInux? I can send them ok but cant listen to the ones sent to me [11:41] nick07: pastebin the output of xrandr [11:41] Hello, i have a question. I want to create a user that cannot change anything outside his home dir, but can still use shell and so on. How do i do that? (google was no help) [11:42] Quintic: Setup a jail [11:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7736362/ [11:42] how do i setup a jail? [11:42] Quintic: A regular user can by default only change things in his homedirectory tho [11:42] or hers, as it may be [11:43] it is all about the VGA-0 [11:43] Quintic, Ok, what have you tried that is *not* doing what you think it should? [11:43] Can anyone help me please? [11:43] So the user can still login with SSH but not touch anything in system or read files that are outside his folder? [11:44] Quintic: They can read, by default [11:44] So if you need more control, use a jail as suggested [11:44] Quintic, That's different, looking at folders, and editing files are two differetn things, to prevent that, you put them in a chroot, or jail-shell [11:45] ki7mt, so how do i setup such a jail? === db is now known as Guest97761 [11:47] Quintic, There's many ways, here's one from my bookmarks: http://www.googlehemsida.se/c/Ubuntu_-_Jail_user_to_folder [11:47] oh, gdammit i could have used google. Sorry [11:48] thanks though [11:48] Quintic, You should probably sped some time reading up on chroot and jail-shells befor implemeting any of the methods foudn online. [11:48] .. spend some time .. [11:48] nick07: checking now, sorry was distracted [11:48] np [11:48] alright, thanks for the help ki7mt :) [11:50] nick07: xrandr --addmode VGA-0 myMode && xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode myMode [11:50] Quintic, Here's another one, bit more clear: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_chroot_shell.html [11:50] yeah, just found that on google was already reading it. Seems good :) [11:51] X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [11:52] nick07: it looks like the modes are added under DVI-D-0 instead of VGA-0 [11:52] ah ok [11:53] but I don't think you add htem to a device [11:53] You typically define the mode then choose it. [11:53] I think i (we :D) need to solve it later, I need to go to work :( [11:53] k [11:53] thanks,bye [11:53] !xrandr | nick07 bookmark this [11:53] nick07 bookmark this: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[12:29] histo: it doesn't set the ttl [12:31] Lope, i think it sets the max ttl.. if the ping ttl is lower that would be displayed [12:31] Lope: yeah ^^^ [12:32] how can the ttl be lower, if I set it to 100, then surely it will be 100? [12:32] Time to Live is not "Response time" surely? [12:32] if it's lower than 100 that will be displayed [12:32] ttl = time to live... [12:33] e@e:~$ ping -t 1 google.com [12:33] PING google.com (173.194.35.5) 56(84) bytes of data.

[12:35] because the actuall ttl was lower [12:36] for what it is an error [12:36] and you told ping to display if greater than 255 [12:37] ttl depends on the path tcp takes, not what you set... [12:37] that makes no sense. I've done ping -t 255 foo.com and it's showing all of them with ttl 58 [12:37] can u explain briefly i cant;t understand [12:38] cyford: it's displaying all the responses with ttl 58, and none greater than 255 as you've said. [12:39] Lope: man ping [12:39] there's a section on TTL [12:40] ping -t 255 foo.com - tells ping to max ttl at 255... in most cases unless your target is using satelite transmisstion that ttl will never be reached [12:40] but ping is set for max 255 which means all lower ttl is still relivent [12:40] try antarctica.com [12:40] >255 = lower not relevant [12:41] In an upstart script, how do I return permission back to root after an unprivileged user? [12:46] hi there. is it possible to globally change default file permission modes for new files? it seems to be 664 in general. [12:48] After posting my last question, I think I need to reword it. I start a job in upstart that runs a minecraft server, which, is constantly generating a log. The minecraft server itself will generate the same log (once the initial line is read to start it). What would be the best way to keep this/var/log/upstart log from getting HUGE and remaining there (as it appends at each startup) [12:48] keeping in mind that erasing it at a script start would still allow it to get HUGE if I don't shut the computer off for, weeks or months [12:49] Hi guys [12:49] how do I fix this error: Cause: [12:49] Supplied javaHome is not a valid folder.

[14:02] anyone know how to save your "connect to server" connections in Nautilus?

[14:07] samba is great and wonderful, but you have to manually edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [14:07] holstein, right.. specifying CSM mode in bios however renders the USB boot unbootable [14:08] yes. i set up. i opened Home folder in settings... but there is no effect [14:08] holstein, Basically, I can boot form the live usb in either UEFI mode or not at all [14:08] in CSM mode, all i get is a blinking cursor [14:08] hallo [14:08] Yakisoba-;~ you mean folder properties [14:08] amitprakash: ok.. test the stick.. you can easily just try it on other hardware, and make sure its functioning properly.. if it doesnt work, there is little ubuntu or linux can do on a software level to facilitate functioning [14:08] it seems to me, i'm do something wrong in smb.conf. Where i can download DEFAULT smb.conf? [14:09] amitprakash: you should be able to disable secure booting if the device supports.. ask the creators [14:09] holstein, tried it.. works fine on any non UEFI supported system, but for any UEFI supported bios, refuses to boot when bios is asked to boot to legacy/CSM [14:10] amitprakash: sure.. its just that, what is actually going on is, as designed, the hardware is not booting the USB stick.. its not that the stick is doing something, or linux or ubuntu is doing something to prevent booting [14:10] yes. i open home folder in properties, My Ubuntu PC not visible in other PC. it cannot be ping... [14:10] holstein, oh [14:10] holstein, so the h/w is designed to disallow booting form USB in legacy mode? my gentoo usb stick works fine fwiw [14:11] amitprakash: legacy mode should allow booting the usb.. but its not, and you say the stick is good.. [14:11] Yes [14:12] Yakisoba-;~ is this 2 ubuntu machines? [14:12] amitprakash: so, the stick is fully funcitonal.. you are asking the hardware to bypass its blocking "Features".. so, whats not working? [14:12] holstein, theres an additional option of treating usb drives like a) HDD b)FDD [14:12] maybe that would change things [14:12] amitprakash: i would try *all* options..

[14:15] mask is 255.255.255.0 [14:18] so, it is possible make my PC showb=n on the LAN? [14:19] Yakisoba-: that netmask only allows for the fourth position on ipv4 to be anywhere between 1-254 (0 and 255 are reserved and implied) if you change your netmask to 255.255.0.0 you will allow the same freedom to the third position on ipv3 [14:19] ipv4* === Guest82807 is now known as renato__ [14:20] wait. Can you explain me again: if i change netmask, my problems is gone? [14:20] Yakisoba-: however, your netmask much match the gateway/rouer for LAN in order to actually have two machines on such very different subnets like that [14:20] Yakisoba-: what is the ip and netmask on your router? === __NiC is now known as _NiC [14:21] Yakisoba-: i say, you may consider just leaving everything to automatic defaults.. let the router deal with distributing ip addresses [14:22] ip of router is 192.168.2.1 netmask... i dunno how to know it, [14:22] Yakisoba-: does your router include a DHCP service? if so (and preferably) follow holstein's advice and tell the client machines to acquire ip automatically/via dhcp [14:23] Yakisoba-: your ubuntu machine will not work unless you change the ip to 192.168.2.x (x can be any number not already used) and we can probably assume the netmask is 255.255.255.0 (it usually is) [14:24] Yakisoba-: to clarify, if your router has DHCP, use that, if not, change ubuntu machine to 192.168.2.x [14:25] my router is Huawei HG8245 sorry i'm newbie in Network theme.... [14:26] Yakisoba-: then, dont do customization, and static IP's like that.. nothing is "broken".. youa re configuring the machines *not* to be able to communicate with each other [14:28] Oh. i thought I just need somewhere in the Ubuntu to register the new address and it will work? [14:28] Yakisoba-: no.. you'll need the machine to be on the same subnet. right not, they are not, and are specifically configured *not* to be able to access each other.. did someone else configure them? is one a "work" machine? [14:30] Yakisoba-: there are easy ways, with most routers, to setup a "guest" wifi network.. if you are on that with the ubuntu machine, that can be the simplest explantation for what you are seeing [14:32] ok i understand this. So, you want to say that the router gave the wrong address my Ubuntu PC - that why nothing work? [14:32] Yakisoba-: the router didn't make that mistake [14:32] Yakisoba-: i didnt say that.. the router is doint what its designed to do. nothing is "broken" [14:33] Yakisoba-: do you indeed have a guest wifi? and is the ubuntu machine on it? [14:33] Yakisoba- your router can be re-set to "defaults" ... you might want to research that option. === karstensrage is now known as Guest64596 [14:34] sorry me for my "questions".

Point called "wirelessNet" [14:35] Yakisoba-: this is a support channel where your questions are welcome.. do you have a guest wifi connection? [14:35] how can i show the last 5 packages i installed [14:36] Yakisoba-: if you are connecting on a wifi setup that is designed to isolate, that can be isolating the machines, by design === K4k_ is now known as K4k [14:37] i understand. i try to connect Opened network then [14:38] rcw2: i only know of 'dpkg -l' which lists all packages installed, but I'm not sure there is any chronological order available [14:39] rcw2: if you haven't done an apt-get clean the packages may still be in the apt cache dir [14:39] JediMaster, where's that dir [14:39] /var/cache/apt/archives [14:40] ^ [14:42] It seems like `/etc/init.d/ipsec` is missing after installing the `strongswan` package on Ubuntu 14.04.

[14:48] ribasushi, thats what mine says [14:49] ribasushi: Yes, normal [14:49] since its not debian, it might not mean what you think [14:50] rcw2: you can also try looking at the logs in /var/log/apt/history* [14:50] ty [14:50] rcw2: they include: start-date, commandline given, packages installed, pacakges removed, and end-date [14:51] ribasushi: use 'lsb_release -a' to identify your system [14:56] Hi can i ask a question about comand here?

[16:10] cfhowlett: is there a better way to make a USB stick bootable? i've tried Unetbootin, pendrive, and LiLi USB Creator [16:10] jay__: It means that most likely either the original file you made the stick from is corrupt, or else the usb stick has some bad area where those two files are sitting. You should check the original file against it's md5sum and make sure it matches [16:10] jay__ did you verify the ISO you downloaded? [16:10] yes. i did a check sum. it matched [16:10] i.e. before logging in the clock reports UTC, but when logged in ntp updates to the correct time? and yes the BIOS is set to local time not UTC [16:11] jay__: If the md5sum matches, then it's most likely physically the usb stick you used. [16:11] jay this ^^^ [16:11] How could I find out if the USB stick has bad sectors? is there a program for that? [16:13] Or, just check it's overall health in general to make sure it is working properly [16:13] jay__: just try using other usb, If you dont have you could use a cd or dvd.... If you want to verify your .iso works correctly, mount it on a virtual machine [16:14] the iso is mountable on daemon. and the check sum matches properly [16:14] it must be the USB stick then? [16:15] jay__: perfect, just try to use another one!! [16:15] I don't have a CD or DVD atm.the other USB sticks I have are too small and have my girlfriends files on them [16:15] jay__: The problem with checking for bad sectors there is that this assumes a filesystem to be used ojnto which the bad sectors can be marked as not to use. But when iso file is made onto the usb, it is normally done in a way of copying an entire pre-existing filesystem over. [16:15] food, afk [16:16] Hello everyone ... I'm a beginner in Linux / Ubuntu.

[16:26] i've tested the iso, and many other iso's i've downloaded. they all match perfectly eeee [16:27] it's likely the USB stick like it's been suggested to me. i just need a way to test it [16:27] anyone know what command i could run in terminal to see what version of freetds-dev i have installed? [16:28] fwaokda apt-cache policy freetds-dev [16:28] I've got ubuntu installed with UEFI partition on a 3tb barracuda which is connected via an external enclosure, usb 3.0. after the install (this time) the computer actually booted on the hard drive. [16:28] sweet thanks very mucho! [16:28] i can't download virtualbox btw. I don't have ubuntu on there anymore eeee. [16:29] jay__: virtualbox works on every platfo [16:29] jay__: if you think the usb is bad, you need another one that works to confirm it [16:29] I am ready to do a fresh install. i just need to test the USB stick. if people just don't know how to do that. please tell me and i'll ask elsewhere [16:29] there is a test for everything in computers. is there not a USB test? [16:30] jay__: what capacity your usb is?? [16:30] jay__: http://www.pendriveapps.com/test-for-fake-usb-flash-drives-h2testw/ [16:30] it checks for faulty usb drives [16:30] Is it possible to prioritize traffic based on which port is used? [16:30] 16 gigs [16:30] sweeeet thanks eeee [16:30] I'm guessing something like: iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j QOS --set-level foobar [16:31] ah, I think I found it [16:32] HI! What better,ubuntu 13.10 or 14.04? Please tell me features of 14.04^) [16:33] I tried to install my EPson Printer (L300) [16:33] I go to System > Printer [16:33] Then I choose add [16:33] then I plug my printer [16:33] Epson L300 appear, so I choose this L300, click forward [16:33] then it search for driver [16:33] Then I was told by the system that there is downloadable driver [16:33] I click accept the term [16:33] I click forward [16:33] Then it say install the driver [16:33] I was asked for password [16:33] enter the password [16:33] it installs the driver [16:33] But then .... nothing progress [16:33] I tried restarting my laptop [16:33] and start all over again [16:33] but it will end the same way as before [16:33] jay__: when you use unetbootin I thik you could assing a free space at the begining of the usb... so try assinging 10gb, if the bad sector is there youll be able to use it in this way [16:33] Sorry .... the question is so simple ... but I really don't know. [16:33] For 20 years, I used Windows... so I am really a beginner in Ubuntu / Linux [16:33] !punctuation [16:34] jay__: it's just an idea, Ive never tried it before [16:34] kriskropd: hi again. now, My Ubuntu and 2nd PC in one subnet! Ubuntu is 192.168.100.3 and 2nd PC is 192.168.100.2 ) in Ubuntu, in Network places, now i see other PCbut i can't browse its folders [16:35] Yakisoba-: so your networking is fixed, now ou have a new issue? [16:35] you* [16:35] kriskropd yes! I see other PC in Ubuntu BUT i can't browse his folders. [16:35] if i'm running a cronjob that needs to hit a url, does the url need to be in quotes? [16:35] hmm how do you asses space in windows ? [16:36] i can only test 12 megabytes of data out of 14.9 gigs? that's weird [16:36] Yakisoba-: i think you need to share a folder [16:36] Yakisoba-: that is very vague - are the files in windows shared? i only know about accessing samba file server from windows, not vice-a-versa === cassio is now known as Guest90313 [16:36] kriskropd Thank you! You adviced me join 2 PC in one subnet ) cool! [16:36] wait. i write now... [16:37] i have a question. when i format my USB stick in windows. what does allocation unit size mean? [16:37] I can't get utf-8 to show correctly in nano over ssh. locale set, putty utf-8 set. any ideas? [16:37] it's defaulted to 8192 bytes. is this ok? [16:37] Is there anyone who has any idea what I should do to solve my problem? [16:38] ChemicalB: your ssh client, or the terminal it is running in rather, might not have proper encoding set up for utf-8 [16:38] jay__: with UNETBOTIN... below where you put the .iso [16:38] when i try to connect Windows share manually (Menu- connect to windows share), it asks me samba user password, But i cant remember this [16:38] jay__: below you where the .iso [16:39] ChemicalB: sorry, you said putty was set to utf-8? then maybe it's server side afterall - are you running inside tmux or screen? [16:39] nope [16:39] Hello, i need to recover my data. During the conection of the external driv,e with wiindows 8.1 computer i got an error message and now windows 8.1 doesn recognice it, windows xp can see it, but not open the files any more. how / with which program can i recover it, prefeurable with the folder structure? [16:40] for instance, a © (c) symbol comes out as a circle with question mark in it [16:40] to all: Can you give me default SMB conf file? it seems to me, i do something bad in my file [16:40] Guest34509: do you mean space before the partition for the iso? like the bootloader size? [16:41] ChemicalB: I'm not sure then, if your ssh client (putty) is set correctly and you aren't running through a filter (like tmux or screen) I don't know why utf-8 wouldn't work properly [16:41] Guido1: use a linux distribution to make a backup, then format your external drive with NTFS and put your files into again [16:41] eeee: Test for Fake USB Flash Drives is running [16:42] hmmm. maybe a reboot after the character set change is needed? [16:42] jay__: yes, i think the name in Unetbootin is persistence space or something like that!! [16:42] jay__: cool [16:43] ya i think they call it that but i didn't know what it meant. so persistence space is reserved for GRUB for example? [16:43] Guest34509: I get an errror (input / output error) if i try to open or coppy a file [16:43] I"m just trying to understand the whole process [16:43] it says it'll take 38 minutes eeee [16:43] it'll be a while lol [16:44] jay__: persistence allows you to save stuff between reboots in a live cd [16:44] I'm thinking about going out and buying another sata cable so I can just skip this USB external nonsense. HOWEVER. It did boot once to the ubuntu installation on the external hard drive, right after install. it has a UEFI partition. However, when I boot, it just hangs on the mobo splash if I have the hard drive turned on. [16:44] Guido1: in a linux distribution??? [16:44] oh. so is persistence a linux swap area on the hdd? [16:45] I have changed the bios settings according to ubuntu help docs and tried many times. I've disconnected the other drives in the computer so I just have dvd, usb hard drive. that's how I install. [16:45] anyone help? [16:46] Guest34509: yes,, i got the eerror with linux [16:46] should i format without persistence then (aka Allocation unit size in windows) since i'm not using a live cd? [16:46] Is it possible to have upstart NOT generate a log for a script? [16:46] I have to get on the MUNI and go clear downtown to get a sata cable because San Francisco is weird... please help me avoid going out doors [16:46] I have 2 PC in local network. One subnet. I see Windows-machine from Ubuntu but I can't access to PC from Ubuntu [16:47] jay__: persistence isnt the allocation unit size in windows, it's what you set in unetbootin or lili [16:47] ok. well what is allocation unit size in windows for? [16:48] Guido1: that's so weird, because usually that problem is with permissions [16:49] Guido1: I have an external drive as well and that problems happened to me too!! [16:49] I'll have to take a shower, get dressed, go out into meatspace with nothing but a gingerbread android phone... it'll take hours to get a sata cable. [16:49] GRUB timeout=0 even when explicitly et to non-zero value [16:49] any ideas anyone [16:50] eeee: if this ends up being a hardware issue with my USB stick i'll be Sooooo much happier. I've had nothing but problems with linux and if it's all because of my stupid USB stick, it'll give me a renewed outlook on linux. i'll give it a fair second chance :) [16:50] Guest34509: so maybe windows 8.1 did something strange with the rights. It takes about 5 or 10 minutes until i can see the first layer of the folder structure [16:52] it's not linux. it's computers in general. small bit procedural programmed elaborate calculators. [16:52] just wait until the singularity next year. we'll all leave our bodies and inhabit the physics of the universe itself.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:54] but until then, my issue = new computer, dvd drive and usb hard drive only, install works fine and hard drive shows uefi partition. reboot hangs at mobo splash. I've changed the bios settings. after installing ubuntu, it rebooted and the hard drive booted. any additional restarts, it hangs at mobo splash. [16:54] jesus cfhowlett you're like the police in here [16:54] it's early in the day jay [16:55] bjrohan: add: console none I belive [16:55] arun_ you edited your grub, but did you SAVE the changes to grub? [16:55] should the boot install be on sda or sda1? [16:56] apeoid: sda [16:56] i don't know what's happening with you're situation apeoid. but from what i understand, the bootload comes before any partitions [16:57] so sda is the drive, and you want it at the begining of the drive [16:57] so you want sda. sda1 will be a partition. that's where the OS is [16:57] ok good [16:57] bootloader* i meant [16:57] trism: thank you! [16:59] any tips how i can get the data back with the folder structure? [16:59] genii: I have on sd1 an EFI partition but on sda2 /boot/efi... I used boot repair and it put that itself.... is it correct?? IM still having problems with my boot process!! [17:01] i dunno much about that Guest34509. maybe someone else can help you. I did however download parted magic from kickasstorrents and ran it from RAM. it has a program that will reinstall or fixed GRUB if that's what your bootloader is [17:02] I installed parted magic to a USB stick via LiLi USB Creator. (just verifying) [17:02] jay__: thanks I'll try [17:03] !uefi | Guest34509 [17:03] Guest34509: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

[18:37] DammitJim: the new way is in /etc/network/interfaces because resolv.conf now gets overwritten by resolvconf package [18:37] the wifi usb key [18:37] gaspyr: sudo rfkill unblock all [18:38] gaspyr: what says it's disabled?

[18:55] gaspyr: you can't just plug it in and have it automagically join a network. it won't know which one to join. You have to configure it with network manager applet.

[19:07] agu1000: probably pastebin sudo blkid also [19:07] so it should install with no problems. i might just have to change the server so i can download programs eeee [19:07] histo how do i undo one of those changes [19:07] I'm getting a ton of 404s for i386 not being found [19:07] how would i go about changing the server? and why wouldn't it give me a good server by default? [19:07] agu1000: ok, so home is not in there, if you do "sudo mount -a" what do you get ? [19:07] catalase: what do you mean? [19:07] ikonia: histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7738251/ [19:08] it should have the server for your country by default i think, unless it was having temporary problems or something [19:08] histo, i need to UNappend [19:08] ikonia: no output [19:08] agu1000: is /home mounted now ? [19:08] ki7mt, thank you that was it. I didn't know how to do that yet. :x [19:08] histo, i need to remove one of my users from the group [19:08] (i mean maybe the server was having problems that day) [19:08] catalase: type groups as the user to get a list then; sudo usermod -G specify,all,the,groups,besides,the,one,to,remove username [19:09] oh ok. well i'm installing without the internet (ethernet) could that have something to do with it? maybe the distro is set by default to an old server when you install without the ethernet plugged in? [19:09] ikonia: home is always mounted but it's the wrong one. it's not the new partition [19:09] apeoid, ok, glad it worked, but just FYI, PIP is also in the UBuntu repos, both python-pip and python3-pip [19:09] agu1000: home is not mounted [19:09] ikonia: right. [19:09] agu1000: your output of "mount" shows it's not mounted [19:09] ikonia: it was showing /dev/sda1 as /home [19:09] yeah, sorry. the partition is not mounted as home [19:10] it's using a different directory for home instead [19:10] ahhh [19:10] ok, now I understand [19:10] sda1 has the same uuid [19:10] as what's in fstab [19:10] ikonia: plus his luks stuff also [19:10] so it's mounting the correct partition [19:10] ikonia: same UUID as what else? [19:11] ikonia: oh, yes. [19:11] because i want to mount sda1 as /home [19:11] [6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~so it has mounted the correct partition that you told it to [19:11] oops [19:11] sorry [19:11] agu1000: so it has mounted the correct device that you told it to in /etc/fstab [19:11] it's behaving correctly [19:12] jay__: i dont know, i dont think so it should use the main server, ill brb i have to park the car [19:12] ikonia: oh i see. then why are my files not in home, and why is the sda1 volume not showing up in "Devices" like sda2 is? [19:12] agu1000: I don't know what you mean by devices, so I can't answer that [19:12] I seem to be having a problem with this install, the top menu bar is missing... [19:13] wow [19:13] Zerodeamon, why are you telling me that on PVT? [19:13] agu1000: why the files aren't there - I don't know, I don't know what you did to your system [19:13] ikonia: in ubuntu, i open "Files" and then i can see "Devices", which is pretty much /media/ [19:14] agu1000: thats normally external devices [19:14] Why is ubottu so jacked up now? [19:14] /home is a system device [19:14] !ping [19:14] pong! [19:14] histo: looks ok ? [19:14] He still show's factoids on search that are non existent [19:14] histo: pm me an example please and I'll take a look [19:14] I've not noticed so don't know [19:14] ikonia: /msg ubottu search someterm you will get all kinds of factoids that are long gone. [19:15] ikonia: yes. i have 2 disks in this pc. sda and sdb. sdb4 has ubuntu i believe. sda1 should have /home. I can find sda2 under Devices, but not sda1. Before the update, i could see both. [19:15] now i can't see sda1 under Devices and my /home doesn't have the directories i used to have [19:15] agu1000: sda2 is ntfs so external to your system [19:15] ikonia: yes. sda1 is ext4 and I could still see it under Devices before the update [19:16] agu1000: I don't know about that, [19:16] I don't know what you've done to your system [19:16] anybody familiar with ssl handshake failures on 14.04? [19:16] I suspect you don't have a clear picture of what's there [19:16] under /media/lucas i can only see data, which is sda2. no sda1 [19:16] eg: "where is my data" [19:16] ikonia: my data was in /home in sda1. [19:16] agu1000: /media will not have sad2 [19:16] sorry sda1 [19:16] now sda1 is not there, so my home is probably using another directory i guess [19:16] as it's your home partition [19:16] oops [19:16] unless my data got removed [19:17] you don't see sda1 in /media - as it's mounted in /home [19:17] If you mount on top of a directory all files that were there are now inaccessible [19:18] i am trying to access my ubuntu vm from my mac host but it wont give me access. if i did ssh localhost i get connection denied. the vm ppl told me ot come here [19:18] ikonia: ok, i'll try unmounting sda1 as home, so i can see it under /media, and then i'll see if it has my files, right? [19:18] agu1000: it won't just appear under /media [19:18] agu1000: why do you want it under /media - it's your home directory ? [19:18] ikonia: why not. yes it's my home but i wanna see if my current /home is REALLY sda1 or not really [19:19] cause sda1 has other files in it [19:19] agu1000: just unmount /home - then look into /home [19:19] ok [19:19] forget /media - that is nothing to do with /home [19:19] ok. how do i unmount? [19:19] umount /hoome [19:19] home [19:19] umount: /home: device is busy. [19:20] I'm unable to make gpg --gen-key work. [19:20] ikonia: umount: /home: device is busy.

[19:31] histo: i can't because i'm only Guest. [19:31] I have two MP4 files that I can't watch How do Idiagnose the problem and how do I get it to work? [19:31] the program i'm using for irc? [19:31] agu1000: from the grub menu recovery mode or whatever hipsters are calling it these days [19:31] jay__: The program you are using [19:31] oh ok thanks [19:31] histo: you think that will give me root? [19:31] agu1000: yes [19:32] ok i'll try. grub doesn't show a menu though. how would i access it? [19:32] ohh are you saying i should go to a channel for CIRC and ask there tharkun ? [19:32] jay__: Yes :) [19:32] agu1000: hold shift or keep pressing it [19:32] ok [19:32] ok thanks lol [19:32] brb then [19:33] is there an IRC channel for everything?

[19:34] agu1000: hold down right shift [19:35] jay__: Probably. :) Everyone loves to talk about everything. An Ubuntu related note though..

I'm using 2048 size. Does it typically take many many minutes to generate the keys? [19:36] And yes it is asking for more text again now.

[19:39] < jay__> I will be using Linux as my main operating system. <-- Some stuff is only fixed through cli [19:39] jay__: As much as a GUI is nice, the Terminal is an extremely powerful and important part to Linux distrobutions. [19:40] even if i just watch video and surf reddit for example. i still need to know the terminal? [19:40] jay__: The most powerfull program you will ever meet is the Terminal. If everything else fails the terminal will still be there. [19:40] You don't have to know absolutely everything, I mean, Google is here and all: But it's nice to be familiar. [19:40] why would i run into problems if all i do is use the web browser and dl torrents? [19:41] jay__: No need to panic. But eventually you will learn it. Bits at a time [19:41] jay__: It can be a lot of fun to have the control the console gives you. [19:41] and the Terminal is fun! It's a lot more fun than it looks, I promise. Have you ever wanted to LISTEN to your hard-drive? [19:41] i will learn if i have to. it just seems overwhelming to learn the terminal. i don't know where to even start [19:41] jay__: Because the most powerfull bittorrent that exists runs on a terminal [19:41] jay__: for instance, you could download all your torrents in terminal, or create a script to pull your youtube videos with youtube-dl etc... [19:41] jay__: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html http://www.linuxcommand.org/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/05/20/terminal1.html http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/~kevin/unix-tutorial/toc.html [19:42] jay__: did it work? [19:42] jay__: http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php [19:42] jay__, We use this to teach beginners things about the terminal: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [19:42] jay__: There is an old book that guides you very gently across learning what the terminal can do. It was even on the debian repos ;P [19:42] jesus [19:42] this is what i mean. so many links. so much info [19:42] what is important that i need? [19:42] jay__: Just pick one. It's not complicated. Just take us on it. ;) [19:42] jay__: start small [19:43] jay__: Don't panic, you don't need all those links mostly you've got enough man pages in your system allready installed that can blow your mind away ;P [19:43] jay__: it's something you can do in your spare time and you will thank us in the long run. [19:43] apt-get -help [19:43] +sudo [19:43] TLDP is a great resource as is Mike Wiki and all, but they aren't really geared toward those new to the terminal or Linux in general. [19:44] <[conrad]> Hello everyone. We're looking to migrate away from LTSP to full desktops, and it seems I may not know the proper term to search for, but the initial issue I'm running into is looking for a way to keep the machines on the network "centrally and remotely managed". Meaning, I can choose when to do updates, and I won't need to run around to all the machines to do this. Also, the ability to install the same package to all the machines at once [19:44] <[conrad]> . Landscape looks what I may want, but for $100+/machine it's not cost effective. Plus there are a lot of features Landscape provides that we wouldn't need. I've seen results that indicate puppet, foreman, and spacewalk is the alternative, but it seems those are more for managing servers, not desktops. Does anyone have any other suggestions? [19:44] ok. do i don't need to read a book on linux? [19:44] The DOS-Win doc is pretty out dated, nobody on MS systems uses the command line any more. [19:44] (Just for reference) man (as tharkun said) is short for manual. If you ever have any problems knowing what a command does or anything like that: Simply put in your terminal - "man *command*" [19:44] so i don't* [19:45] jay__: no but it will help. I would try things out test the waters, and read up on the command line when you get the opportunity. [19:45] does terminal have a "start" point. like, can i see all commands possible and just type "man *command" one by one? [19:45] There's also apropos which will tell you if there is anything like the term you specify in the man pages. apropos dhcp f'rinstance. [19:45] jay__: the link I sent you http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php seems pretty new user to me. [19:45] jay__, Not true, I just finished a cross platform build on a project that used Batch scripts to build the entire project, Python, MinGW, and FFTW [19:45] Sure! Just type "help" [19:45] jay__: yeah man intro [19:45] Or ^ [19:46] jay__: you can use tab completion, like type the first letter and press tab a couple times [19:46] http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/06/millions-of-dymanic-dns-users-suffer-after-microsoft-seizes-no-ip-domains/ [19:46] jay__: i take it ubuntu is running ? :D [19:46] i'll check out learning the shell [19:46] ubuntu is updating downstairs [19:46] i gotta go check on it eeee [19:46] jay__: http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html [19:47] histo: can i just type intro in the terminal? [19:47] jay__: type man intro [19:48] jay__: although that link I gave you is more new user friendly than man pages [19:49] histo, that's a good resource, and it's well written. [19:49] Hi guys, Anyone here that know about x86f-input-wacom 0.25 and Ubuntu 12.04? [19:49] jhutchins: what was i supposed to learn from that? [19:49] i read it but... [19:49] jay__: http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php [19:50] jay__: Just for fun. [19:50] Just start from the beginning, and follow along in a terminal. [19:50] i have learning the shell book marked for later [19:50] oh ok jhesketh_ [19:51] oh well I want to conserve my xorg, because ati drivers, I don't know the xorg-xserver-input-wacom-trusty-lts will help or ruin everything [19:51] barz: what do you mean by conserve? [19:52] Xubuntu is oddly designed. my mouse went away because a screen saver came on while i was downloading updates. luckily the enter button worked [19:52] well, my old computer needs to run ati private drivers [19:52] it has such odd imperfections. === dfgas_off is now known as dfgas [19:53] did dumbassjim stop by? [19:54] * BobHoppi apolagizes, wrong channel [19:54] jay__: Actually, this is more relevant, an annotated version from 2004 that addresses some changes since 1999: http://garote.bdmonkeys.net/commandline/index.html [19:55] jay__: One of the great uses of the terminal is switching what desktop enviroment you use. So if you don't like the one that came with Xubuntu, you're free to change it. :) Along of course with your screensaver and how it behaves. [19:55] and there is a package called xorg-xserver-trustylts [19:56] I don't know if it modifies the xorg-xserver 1.11.3 [19:56] I think something has changed with 14.04 where when one installs apache2, it sets up the path for the site to be /var/www/html instead of /var/www [19:56] I have not tried [19:56] no DammitJim its still /var/www [19:57] weird how my config was different [19:57] from a fresh install [19:57] I want to make work my wacom intuos pro, and run my legacy ati drivers [19:57] my legacy ati drivers work fine now [19:58] I'd like to try other desktop environments for funzies [19:58] I"ll take a read through that in a bit jhutchins [19:58] I was trying to compile xf86-input-wacom-0.25 with this instructions http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=110304 [19:58] but apache questions are more of a #apache query am I wrong? [19:59] but patch is not runing, it freezes on terminal === Guest36512 is now known as Treffix [20:00] DammitJim: yes, it is now /var/www/html [20:00] ok im' going to mess around on my newly installed Xubuntu ttyl === eeee is now known as Eric^^ [20:02] in apt-get what does apt stand for [20:02] apeoid: Advanced Package Tool [20:02] right on [20:03] it's nice [20:04] Can anyone help we get screen to work on an upstart script?

[20:23] actually, I can no longer connect my HDMI port working on my laptop [20:23] MagicSpud: In what context? The ones currently running as root? [20:23] histo: sorry for the delay. My upstart script starts a minecraft server, that once running takes commands, would like it to run in screen so that I can access it. [20:24] I pulled it out while it was on......... prolly bad idea........... and it won't even recognize my external monitor [20:24] Pici its a client application and I dont remember the installation process...I am fearing now it was installed as root and therefore it has root privileges [20:24] Pici over the system [20:24] hexacode: what do you mean by "virtual usb solution"? [20:25] sounds like a vm thing [20:25] like esx [20:25] MagicSpud: ps -U root -u root u [20:25] bjrohan: off the top of my head, can you just start it via screen from rc.local instead of via upstart? [20:26] MagicSpud: Straight from the examples in `man ps`! [20:26] is it possible to automatically confirm ufw enable? something like the -y option? [20:26] MagicSpud: ps aux and look at the first column. [20:26] Loshki: would starting it on rc.local give me access to the running server? [20:26] mettjus: ufw status doesn't do it? [20:27] Loshki: ufw status shows the current status [20:27] Loshki: Duh, yes it would. why not use upstart? [20:27] i need to enable it without manual confirmation [20:27] hello everybody. does anybody own an intel 7260 wifi card and experience drops in connection?? [20:28] bjrohan: I'm thinking that if you start it inside screen e.g. screen minecraft then you can use screen re-attach later === Guest16980 is now known as David_LoKo [20:29] Loshki: yep, but why not in upstart vs rc.local? Wouldn't it be cleaner in upstart vs anything else I may need to put in rc.local in the future? [20:30] mettjus: odd, mine doesn't ask for confirmation. Are you running it under sudo? [20:31] bjrohan: you can put it where you like, but if you put it in the upstart script, you risk it being overwritten if you update/reinstall minecraft, and you have to edit the upstart script, which is gnarly [20:31] Loshki: yes sudo [20:31] Loshki: Gotcha [20:32] Loshki: mine says Command may disrupt existing ssh connections. Proceed with operation (y|n)? [20:32] mettjus: ah, so does mine. One moment please... [20:32] Loshki: i solved by ufw --force enable [20:32] mettjus: exactly what I was looking for! [20:33] but its not in man… [20:33] i mean couldnt find documentation about it [20:34] i've got gnome 3.12.2 - when i maximize/unmaximize window, the min/max/close buttons of window gets "blacked out" i have to move my mouse cursor on it to see those buttons again.

[20:36] PaulePanter: that command...does it show all root applications?

[20:37] PaulPanter okay thanks [20:38] MagicSpud: Quote: To see every process running as root (real & effective ID) in user format: [20:38] MagicSpud: but yes, afaik, it shows every process. See also ps axf which I find useful [20:39] Loshki: does rc.local allow for respawn? [20:40] mettjus: actually, my ufw man page mentions ufw --force enable explicitly for exactly this problem. [20:40] How to rice [20:40] bjrohan: I don't think so. Does minecraft need respawning? [20:41] Not typically [20:42] bjrohan: if it does, you can call a shell script from rc.local which loops, restarting minecraft if it dies. Not pretty though... [20:42] what kworkers are?

I updated ubuntu and now my /home (which i mounted to another volume) is now different (doesn't have the files I put there). what can I do? [20:46] Loshki: bios set to local time, ntp updates correctly, system goes down from power failure, upon boot the login screen and also if you drop to a virtual console date/time reports as UTC but local timezone. login in and ntp updates and all is well === newbie is now known as Guest92043 [20:46] @agu1000 all I can say is "uffffff" what did you do? [20:46] Loshki: i.e. that's whacked [20:47] squid22: i just clicked on "Yes" in the update prompt for ubuntu [20:47] and then rebooted, squid22 [20:47] that shouldn't had deleted or removed any files in your home dir [20:48] agu1000: Was the volume /home was mounted to a filesystem compatible with linux permissions? [20:48] @agu1000 You can try the following using root. (simply type sudo su - and enter your user password) [20:48] genii: ext4 [20:48] genii: yes, i think so. what do you mean? [20:48] hello [20:49] agu1000: Yes, ext4 is fine. [20:49] @agu1000 then try this "find / -type f -iname "" [20:49] Hey Holstein baby [20:49] Wanna have some fun? [20:49] !Sex [20:49] fuck off [20:49] I need to convert a video that I can't watch ... any counsels? It says it's in MP4 [20:50] Loshki: oh and for what it's worth after said power failure bios still has the correct date/time so for some unknown reason ubuntu decides to switch to UTC. [20:50] squid22: doesn't find anything [20:51] kmyst: ok, that's weird & I'm out of my depth. Keep asking, maybe someone else knows... [20:51] can you tell me the name of a file partially? [20:51] I want to make the command more specific.. [20:51] squid22: You talking to me? [20:51] squid22: catkin_ws is a directory i had at /home/catkin_ws [20:51] ok [20:51] oops, /home/lucas/catkin_ws [20:51] (my home) [20:52] Hi folks. I'm trying to install the updates that the Software Updater presented to me, but I'm getting the following error, could someone kindly help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7738692/ [20:52] so it was ~/catkin_ws [20:52] Loshki: hehehe it's a very strange issue but I can reproduce it repeatedly, just started happening like within the last few weeks....nobody seems to have an idea :) [20:52] try this: "find / -type d -iname "catkin*" [20:52] make sure catkin* is in quotes "" [20:52] squid22: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7738701/ [20:53] squid22: it only finds other files, not in home. [20:53] squid22: my /home is mounted to another partition. i think it might not be mounting correctly. how can i read the directories in sda1? [20:53] hmmmm I see... [20:53] kmyst: yeah, wish I knew more about these things. Can you change the bios battery (grasps at straw)... [20:53] @agu1000 no catkin stuff under home [20:53] hello === MrFishBallMuf is now known as HadS3xwithPICI [20:54] my /home is sda1. but i think it's not really working, squid22. How can I see sda1 as a directory? [20:54] Hey baby [20:54] Wanna have fun? [20:54] HadS3xwithPICI: hi baby === HadS3xwithPICI is now known as HadS3xwithAGU [20:54] agu1000: When you get off work boi? [20:54] dude don't fall for that shit...that's how you get your box pwned [20:55] squid22: LOL [20:55] try: sudo mount | column -t [20:55] it should tell you where is mounted [20:55] Loshki: thought of that but battery seems good since no settings are lost but since it's a laptop i'm not even going to attempt that..something in ubuntu (at least my install) is borked causing that problem [20:55] squid22: anyway. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7738712/ [20:56] squid22: it says it's on /home. but i doubt it cause it doesn't have the files it used to have [20:56] anybody can help me add postgresql to ubuntu startup services? [20:56] yea..I see /home mounted in sad1 [20:56] sda1 [20:57] squid22: i see /home/lost+found ... what is that? [20:57] kmyst: Dunno where to refer you, but I think this class of bug is best dealt with in forums rather than irc... [20:58] @agu1000: lost+found is the directory in which fsck (filesystem check) will put files it restores from orphaned blocks. This can happen when something corrupts filesystem meta-blocks (also called i-nodes) in which the references of the blocks are stored which contain the data of a file. [20:58] squid22: maybe my files went there? idk. why does a system update cause all this? [20:59] agu1000: system updates are difficult, everyone's system is slightly different, no way to test them all... [20:59] Loshki: aye probably so, just banking on somebody else having that problem [21:00] kmyst: it's kind of a specialist area, that close to boot time... [21:00] Loshki: it deletes my /home files? i even have them in a different partition to avoid loss :P [21:00] squid22, he also had /home on a separate partition to begin with, then remounted with when asking / discussing this earlier with ikonia [21:00] Loshki: yup [21:01] @agu1000 I have been using Linux distros (Debian Based) including Ubuntu for a very long time and i have never seen that problem [21:01] @agu1000 Did you read what @Ki7mt said? Is that true? [21:01] squid22: ok, i'll try booting a liveCD and reading sda1 to see if it has my files. [21:02] agu1000: of course it's not *supposed* to delete your /home files. But accidents happen. The smart money does full backups, especially just before an upgrade [21:02] yeah i see [21:02] if I write a command with space before the actual line, is it possible to track those commands (those are not put in the command history) [21:02] agu1000: yes, boot the live cd, then we can poke around and see what's where. Do you know about pastebin? [21:03] ronin2: I just tried, and they go in *my* history, space or not... [21:03] @ronin2 by doing that they won't show on the "history" command log but if you have a keylogger that's another story ;) [21:05] Er, I don't do anything special, they're just there: 524 ls [21:05] try double spaces [21:05] @Loshki I just tried it and it worked for me [21:06] squid22: nope. I'm running bash version 4.2.25(1). You? [21:07] 4.3.11(1) [21:07] Ah, it's configurable (of course). See HISTCONTROL/ignorespace in the man page... [21:08] so in my liveCD i can access sda1, but I cannot unencrypt my home folder inside of it. How can I do that? [21:09] true...there you go [21:09] Loshki: do you have HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace in .bashrc [21:09] squid22: what could i do to read my "lucas" encrypted directory in sda1 from a LiveCD? [21:10] There's an annoying thing since trusty. Whereas in previous releases a click on the scroll-bar resulted in one page scroll up or down nowadays it jumps to the relative position where you click (clicking in the top 10% will bring you to the top 10% of the document). How to go back to the old behaviour, please? [21:11] @agu1000: Try that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [21:11] ronin2: no, I don't, which presumably explains why I see them in my history file, and others don't. Mystery solved, I hope... [21:11] it shows you how to recover stuff from encrypted file syste, [21:11] **syste, [21:11] **system [21:12] 3rd time's a charm... [21:12] That was not brought up previously either, if it was I missed it (env /home that is ). [21:13] I wan to share one of my favorite sites with all of you: www.commandlinefu.com [21:13] s/env home/encrypted /home/g [21:13] I am sure some of you will thank me later. [21:15] I get hits on it now and again, always seems usefull. [21:15] what is "lucas" encryption, when I google it I get guys named lucas talking about their disks... [21:15] squid22: [21:15] sudo: encryptfs-recover-private: command not found [21:15] @agu1000 you have to apt-get install it [21:15] agu1000: install it, just like on a regular system... [21:16] @agu1000 sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils [21:17] Loshki: squid22: ecryptfs-utils is already the newest version. [21:17] Loshki, its LUCas actually, it's an encryption sequence for cryptology. [21:17] @agu1000 You have to start where it says: Recovering Your Data Manually [21:18] @agu1000 scroll down === agu1000 is now known as lucas-- [21:18] squid22: ok. [21:19] It's ecrypt, not eNcrypt, btw... [21:19] ki7mt: thanks [21:20] squid22: mount: unknown filesystem type 'encryptfs' [21:21] @Lucas did you do tried with the "-t" [21:21] yes [21:21] that specifies the type [21:21] I did. [21:22] Hmm. Missing some encrypted file libraries? [21:22] squid22: i got mount: unknown filesystem type 'encryptfs' [21:23] lucas--: because, for the 2nd time, there is no N. And why did you change your nick in the middle of being helped? [21:23] lol [21:24] Loshki: oh LOL [21:24] Apparently I'm the only one irritated by all this... [21:24] Loshki: hahah [21:25] lucas--: laugh while you can, boy. You don't have your filesystem back yet... [21:26] lmao! [21:26] squid22: hmm, i'm getting this: WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt], it looks like you have never mounted with this key before. This could mean that you have typed your passphrase wrong. [21:27] lucas--: you are *sure* about your passphrase, right? [21:27] I was going to ask that too [21:27] Loshki: no. I only set up a password for my user. no more than that. [21:27] i never "backed up" my passphrase [21:27] opps === brad__ is now known as sencha [21:28] This is why windows works better. Lack of "security" is the most important feature to have. [21:28] Hello, using a old Sony Vaio VGN-FJ270, installed Skype fine, but builtin webcam shows no video, how can I get it working? [21:28] @Lucas lol go ahead and re-install Windows 7/8 [21:29] I thought encryption was done in a reasonable way :P [21:29] @Lucas I'm sure you would love it :D [21:29] squid22: i have it in dual boot. i'll just disable home encryption cause it's useless [21:29] lucas--, it's only useless if you dont know how to use it. [21:29] hi, anybody tried using Compass (sass) to watch a folder shared over samba, on ubuntu 14.04? [21:29] I have dual boot also...with Windows 7 [21:30] ki7mt: i know how to use it, but it's still very annoying to use [21:30] I'm having a permissions problem with a ruby file (sass/util.rb), giving me a "operation not permitted" EPERM error, when I try "Compass watch htdocs" [21:31] lucas--, have read this thread for the past two hours+, you may want to get a refresher on CLI and Basic enc usage then. [21:31] codephobic: see also #ruby [21:31] squid22: does this mean the update removed my encryption keys? [21:32] Loshki, thanks will ask there too - just figured given the layers involved, this place might be my best shot [21:32] :) [21:32] perhaps d(0_o)b [21:32] lucas--, Previously, you did not mention that your orig /home was encrypted, nor was it on a seperate partition, then you remounted yet said nothing of encryption then either. [21:33] ki7mt: i did say it was on a separate partition. i didn't think encryption was important, nor did i remember i activated it. [21:33] But it seems encryption doesn't even let me see what files are inside? [21:34] @agu1000 That's encryption doing its job! [21:34] lucas--, yes you told ikonia it was open a separate partition but not squid22 who was trying to help you now. While they may seem minor to you, they are major components inf the recovery effort, if it's even possible at this point. [21:35] ki7mt: yes, i didn't notice of encryption. i thought squid22 read when i said it was another partition. [21:35] Ok, i'm going to reboot now and try from inside my ubuntu again. [21:36] agu1000 has better communication skills lucas-- ... [21:36] Loshki: LOL [21:36] At this point, it's unknown where the original /home partition even is. [21:37] ki7mt: it is in sda1 [21:37] Or I should say "was" [21:38] ki7mt: yes. it should be in sda1 unless the system update moved/deleted it [21:38] ki7mt: any idea where my passphrase might be saved? [21:39] LOL yeah, in your thoughts somewhere maybe, unless you wrote it down, which is not wise. === psjr is now known as Xa8Reiy1 [21:40] ki7mt: i didn't even see it. isn't it supposed to be the same as my user password? i never made one [21:41] hi @Lucas I am afraid that doesn't get saved anywhere. The reason why is because otherwise it would be a security threat. Hence what what would be the purpose of encryption? [21:41] lucas--, Even is there was a file that had your enc PW, it's encrypted too, and you can't access it as you dont know what the PW is, kinda of a Pandora's box wouldn't you say ? [21:41] squid22: can't i get encryption only using my ACTUAL user password instead??? [21:42] ki7mt: yeah, that's why i think that encryption system is annoying :) [21:42] @lucas Do you mean that your password is the same as the passphrase? === Xa8Reiy1 is now known as psjr [21:42] lucas--, really shouldn't blame the system for doing it's job properly. [21:42] squid22: i mean that it should be so i can actually access my data in the future [21:43] lucas--: I think you should keep your nose out of other people's encrypted data... [21:43] ki7mt: how else are you supposed to decrypt the data? [21:43] how does ubuntu know the passphrase if the file where it's saved is encrypted anyway?? [21:44] @lucas I think Linux, specially Ubuntu does a very good job with encryption. Are you trying to access somebody else's data here? [21:44] when I login, how does ubuntu decrypt my folder if I didn't input the passphrase? [21:44] no. it's my home folder [21:44] that i can't access even though i know my user's password [21:45] lucas--, With a pass-phrase or passkey, neither of which you seems to have or have access too. [21:45] If I've setup my "ip=" boot params for my network device, is there any reason why "fetch=" doesn't reach out to my webserver? [21:45] lucas--: A user's password and their passphrase are two different things, and should be kept different (and apart). [21:45] ki7mt: how does ubuntu access the data then? [21:45] @lucas the way is simple. I think Ubuntu uses symmetrical encryption basically uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt the data. If you happen to forget or lose that key, recovery of the data is extremely hard [21:45] ki7mt: if ubuntu has that passkey, then i should be able to find it, right? [21:45] <|PuNKCaT|> can someone help me find and uninstall a package which has utterly borked my machine please? [21:46] squid22: that means ubuntu is storing the key somewhere? [21:46] lucas--: no, it's hashed, which means that though you can recognise it when you see it, you can't retrieve it... [21:46] hello lads [21:46] lucas--, No, it's not the systems fault you can't remember it, it's doing it's job, keep you out without the proper credentials. [21:46] |PuNKCaT|, Umm was it a ppa? [21:46] Loshki: but ubuntu can, right? otherwise it wouldn't be able to read the data [21:46] lucas--: or we'd all be at it, decrypting other people's data [21:47] ki7mt: yes but I am the actual user that encrypted it, and i did not tell ubuntu to forget the passphrase [21:47] <|PuNKCaT|> I don't know the name fully, was a java 7 with iced tea, I'm hoping if someone can tell me how to search I can kill it - it's destroyed firefox, pakagemanager etc [21:47] lucas--, Sorry, but nobody here is going to help you hack an encrypted system, that's not what this channel is for. [21:47] Loshki: so how did ubuntu let me in before without me knowing the passphrase? [21:47] lucas, it's not ubuntu's fault you couldn't remember it lol [21:47] wheatthin: remember what? ubuntu never showed me any passphrase [21:48] i didn't even input any passphrase [21:48] I recommend a safe deposit box to put hard disk encyption key [21:48] lucas--: I have no idea. Maybe agu1000 did it... [21:48] it shouldn't show you any.. [21:48] Loshki: haha [21:48] you have to enter it [21:48] wheatthin: it never asked for a passphrase [21:48] when you go to encrypt it during install, it does. [21:48] unless i input my password (user password) [21:48] @lucas I have a question for you! If you lose your keys to your car, Should your car be able to remember it or get you an spare one if you don't? [21:48] oh then i input my user password [21:48] cause i never input a different one [21:49] squid22: how could i access my car if i never had the key? [21:49] lucas--, remote unlock/start :P [21:49] squid22: it's like a car letting you in without any key and suddently telling you: now you need a key. [21:49] how would whole disk encryption work without a key? [21:50] squid22: i don't get why ubuntu was letting me write/read data without asking for my passphrase every time then? [21:50] lucas--: so your password and you passphrase just happen to be identical. Not a great idea, but ok. Does it work? [21:50] Loshki: i guess they were identical then. i thought the passphrase was like a hash. it's not? [21:50] i thought passphrase = the hashed keys ubuntu told me to save and I didn't want to [21:51] lucas--: it's not clear to me you've done enough reading to use the terminology correctly. Doesn [21:51] yes. i haven't. i'm a user of ubuntu. [21:51] Doesn't matter. Either you know the passphrase or you don't. If you don't, it;s virtually impossible to break... [21:52] Loshki: then i guess my passphrase is my user's password (which i do know) [21:52] @lucas I have been doing reading and it looks like Ubuntu will give you three options: 1) log in automatically 2)require a password to log in 3)require a password to log in and decrypt your home directory [21:52] yup, and if that's so, then you might wanna re-think about installing, and writing down the passphrase [21:52] lucas--: there's one very easy way to find out... [21:52] squid22: i think i had 3 [21:52] halp. Docky crashes when I open quassel [21:52] Loshki: what's that. [21:53] or not do encryption, i see so many people come in here unable to access their data [21:53] @lucas I think he is going to say re-install [21:53] lucas--: see if the disk decrypts using the passphrase... [21:53] I just re-installed and it was GREAT [21:53] Ben64: that's because encryption by default sucks... they should do it differently [21:53] <|PuNKCaT|> I tried apt list installed and got nothing [21:53] lucas--: how does it suck? [21:53] lol...here we go again [21:53] Loshki: idk if i'm getting an error because of the passphrase or because of something else [21:54] "encryption by default" shouldn't happen at all, IMNSHO [21:54] Ben64: because it locks you out even if you're the legitimate owner [21:54] Can you say, Round -- 3 :-) [21:54] lucas--: if you don't know the passphrase, that make sense [21:54] Ben64: it'd be so easy to just let you in with the right user password. [21:54] lucas--: and the exact text of the error is... [21:54] I installed linux at least 12 times to get where I'm at today. [21:54] <|PuNKCaT|> will dpkg --get-selections work? [21:55] |PuNKCaT|: work for...? [21:55] @lucas you are dealing with a computer, it doesn't know if you are the legitimate owner unless you prove it to her with the encryption key [21:55] |PuNKCaT|: just test it? :) [21:55] <|PuNKCaT|> I installed a java thing with iced tea, it's crashed firefox, package manager etc, I don't know the full file name, i'm trying to find and uninstall via terminal [21:55] im trying to setup a dns forwarder with bind9, ive setup the forward in named.conf.options and restarted bind9, but im getting query refused when i attempt a lookup on my local pc [21:56] <|PuNKCaT|> and I don't want to destroy anything further by typing in something stupid [21:56] |PuNKCaT|: "dpkg -l | grep java" see if you find it, although theres no way it crashed firefox and other stuff [21:56] Из России с любовью [21:56] @lucas I think I might had found your solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/238047/how-do-i-mount-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-another-ubuntu-machine [21:57] @president kak dela moi drugg [21:57] <|PuNKCaT|> trust me, it's stuffed it somehow [21:57] squid22: А что на Русском не пишешь?

[22:07] |PuNKCaT|: Thats not an answer to my question actually :) [22:07] <|PuNKCaT|> I installed iced tea, and a java 7 package [22:07] @president sposiba [22:07] |PuNKCaT|: _Which_ package? [22:07] <|PuNKCaT|> I don't know the name of it [22:07] blarg, freking bind9 [22:08] |PuNKCaT|: What did you expect that package to do then? [22:08] president asked me to tell you guys that he send you guys a kiss from Russia [22:09] <|PuNKCaT|> I was told I needed to install Java so a friend could remote access my machine and fix my sound card problems - trusted friend who does this as a job, but after reboot, nothing works [22:09] |PuNKCaT|: Which doesnt answer my question, either :) [22:09] <|PuNKCaT|> the package was java7 and iced tea was the web side part of it [22:10] DON'T INSTALL JAVA DUDE! [22:10] <|PuNKCaT|> was a package which installed it rather than figuring out sun [22:10] squid22: stop that nonsense please [22:10] <|PuNKCaT|> too late squid :/ [22:10] JAVA SUCKS! [22:10] |PuNKCaT|, aftger install any java, see the java docs howto select the java you want [22:10] <|PuNKCaT|> indutably, I was intending to uninstall as soon as the issue was fixed [22:10] !java [22:10] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [22:11] <|PuNKCaT|> I can't view webpages, firefox is borked [22:11] |PuNKCaT|: Then start "firefox -P" and create a new profile [22:12] Is there an easy way to upgrade a system from x86 (i386) to x86_64 in-place? [22:12] Viking667: No. [22:12] Viking667: impossible [22:13] okay, why? [22:13] Viking667: Because it is far more complex than just reinstalling x86_64 [22:13] ... go ahead... [22:13] <|PuNKCaT|> that didn't work either === brucew is now known as taiji [22:14] |PuNKCaT|: Define "didnt work". [22:14] Viking667: Thats the main reason. [22:14] on one had, I like people that want to know why something works/doesn't work. On the other hand.... [22:14] <|PuNKCaT|> I don't know, because the terminal shrunk up so I couldn't get to the error output, but it came up with the same crash report can't run send a report dialouge [22:14] didn't see the reason, just a statement that "it's far more complex" [22:14] |PuNKCaT|: "...when doing what?" [22:15] <|PuNKCaT|> trying to firefox -P [22:15] Viking667, you canb try upgrading all packages by hand, as there is no tool to do this, it takes 48 hours or more :P [22:15] Viking667: Complexity can be considered a reason when asking "is there an easy way?" [22:15] <|PuNKCaT|> seriously, is there some way to just clean install? [22:15] bekks: my apologies. I forgot that. [22:15] <|PuNKCaT|> because this has been a total nightmare [22:15] Viking667: you've got to replace every arch-dependent package that exists on the system, then replace any symlinks or other references to the locations of the items. Or you could install a fresh 64-bit version and keep your home dir [22:16] tgm4883: mrm. I'm on 14.04 now. [22:16] |PuNKCaT|: Sure, you need an ISO and you need to burn it onto a dvd or create an usb stick with it. [22:16] And I'm most certainly having gnome-shell issues. [22:16] <|PuNKCaT|> :/ [22:16] Viking667: so? How does that exclude you from reinstalling to a 64-bit system [22:16] <|PuNKCaT|> I don't think my machine will boot from a usb [22:17] It doesn't. [22:17] Viking667: unless you are going to a 64-bit system because you think that is the reason gnome shell isn't working.... [22:17] I was looking for an in-place upgrade, but it seems that you're saying it's more trouble than its worth. [22:17] bah. I've got to go. [22:17] |PuNKCaT|: do you have a 32 or 64bit system? [22:17] <|PuNKCaT|> 32 [22:17] <|PuNKCaT|> it's a really old (like 5-6yrs) macghine [22:18] <|PuNKCaT|> and the onboard sound has been an issue from day one [22:19] <|PuNKCaT|> but when I got the machine it already had 12.4 installed, and this is an upgrade over a cloned copy of that, so i'm wondering if despite fixes being run etc, if it's just needing a clean slate [22:19] |PuNKCaT|: you can run "wget http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/utopic-desktop-i386.iso" to d/l the ISO and "sudo apt-get install brasero" to install brasero, a cd burning application. [22:19] <|PuNKCaT|> don't have any writable cds [22:20] <|PuNKCaT|> and don't think the dvd drive even works [22:20] |PuNKCaT|: Then you need to get one. [22:21] <|PuNKCaT|> that wget is the trusty tahr? [22:21] *twitch* [22:21] anyone know what this changed to /etc/bind/named.conf:14: unknown option 'allow-recursion' [22:21] <|PuNKCaT|> because I could try d/ling it to a usb and then seeing if I can get someone else to burn it for me [22:22] Which file does DASH source when run in non-login mode? [22:22] |PuNKCaT|: Sorry, it was the wrong ISO. USe this one: "wget http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/20140702/trusty-desktop-i386.iso" [22:23] I cannot get my Tomcat service to source the appropriate configuration [22:25] Evening [22:25] huh? It's morning here. [22:25] ... of the next day. [22:26] LOL well damn how's the future looking [22:26] <|PuNKCaT|> thank you [22:26] seems to be fine, though cold here. [22:26] that sucks [22:26] about 35 F or 2 C [22:26] <|PuNKCaT|> you in nz too viking? [22:27] you're all very welcome to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic but please keep it support only in here, as per topic! [22:28] There's an annoying thing since trusty. Whereas in previous releases a click on the scroll-bar resulted in one page scroll up or down nowadays it jumps to the relative position where you click (clicking in the top 10% will bring you to the top 10% of the document). How to go back to the old behaviour, please? [22:28] Hello. after updating ubuntu and rebooting, my files in my encrypted folder are no longer there. Any idea where to find them? === [AFK]def_anoch is now known as def_anoch [22:29] lucas--: ecryptfs-mount-private [22:30] Laibsch: i did that. the /tmp/ecryptfs.5K1S6l25 also does NOT have my data. [22:30] OK [22:30] what did you do to update? [22:30] are you sure the data is still there? df [22:30] I clicked on "OK" when the ubuntu update prompt asked me to update and reboot [22:30] it's the automatic updates thing [22:31] Laibsch: i have no idea. my desktop background is here, and the "template" home directories are here too. the ones i put there are not. [22:31] is this an encrypted home folder or another folder? [22:31] Laibsch: also, my chrome history was deleted too [22:31] Laibsch: my home, which was encrypted, yes [22:31] is it possible to give xchat a black back ground with white text? [22:32] lucas--, dont forget to tell them about the partitions, and re-mountiung /home this time around. [22:32] windwo 30 [22:33] So my /home is mounted from sda1. that's it. my home is also encrypted. when i run sudo ecryptfs-recover-private, and i go into the tmp directory that gives me, I ALSO DON'T SEE my files. [22:34] lucas--: pastebin the output of "df -h" [22:34] lucas--, You should clarify that, you do not see the original files that was in /home, but you can no longer find the original /home nor the files [22:35] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739131/ [22:35] ki7mt: what do you mean i can't find the /home? it's here. I just can't find the files i put in it. [22:36] lucas--: your home is only 1.2G [22:36] Laibsch: it seems like /home/lucas/.Private has the same data as sda1, which suggests sda1 is actually mounted into /home just fine. and my files must be in .Private. however, i don't see them [22:36] is that to be expected? [22:36] Well I think it'as kind of rude to not tell the whole story when some of the best folks in this channel have tried to help you. [22:36] Laibsch: yes, i think so. it's only those files [22:37] ki7mt: i think this was the whole story. i wanna keep it concise so it's easier to read and understand. [22:37] Where do I put a startup script for a local user? [22:39] lucas--, not from where Im sitting, been here all afternoon reading the same thing. [22:39] ki7mt: what am i missing in the story then? i might not realize [22:40] how do i try out a new desktop environment properly? [22:40] install it [22:40] ok. after installing it, how do you get to it? [22:40] lucas--, You shoudl went through this with squid22 and Loshi .. do you not remember that or maybe you dont remember the same series of quesiton with iknonia [22:40] jay__, through the login menu [22:40] .. should remember .. you went . .. .. [22:41] select the lil gear like thingy in the lightdm and select the desktop environment [22:41] ki7mt: yes i did. but now i realized it's about permissions, not about mount points, right? [22:42] lucas--: pastebin the output of "mount" [22:42] lucas--, permissions, mount points, remounted mount points, forgotten passphrases, [22:43] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739153/ [22:44] ki7mt: there are no forgotten passphrases. i was confused. and i did say that i mounted /home in sda1. should i also say that I did it AFTER installing ubuntu? (thus i had to remount) [22:45] lucas--, Im dont with this one. [22:45] whhops, done with. [22:45] wheatthin, i tried that once, and it told me it couldn't find the desktop environment [22:45] it was name cairo i believe [22:45] ki7mt: sure. good luck. thanks (: [22:46] jay__: there is no cairo desktop. do you mean the cairo dock? [22:47] Laibsch: it seems to me that my files are in .Private, but after ecryptfs-recover-private, the tmp folder doesn't show them. it seems like the tmp folder given to me by ecryptfs-recover-private, also has the .Private dir inside of it, with my encrypted files yet again encrypted. [22:47] yes dock sorry [22:47] well, start it [22:48] i thought it was a desktop environment [22:48] nope [22:48] hmmm it was in the list from the log in screen though k1l_ [22:49] was it the userlist you were seeing? [22:49] no. the userlist was me and a guest account === dfgas is now known as dfgas_off [22:49] this was the gear looking icon [22:49] are you sure it was cairo? [22:49] i'm on xubuntu. i don't know if that helps [22:50] yes i'm sure [22:50] jay__, can you login using the default session? [22:50] ok.. [22:50] pretty sure at least lol could always be wrong of course [22:51] ls says my home has 4.1 MB inside, but df -h says it has 1.2GB. where is my data??? [22:51] i think i am the default? i set it to auto login during the install [22:51] then open the terminal and type cairo-dock & [22:51] oh, i reinstalled Xubuntuwheatthin [22:51] it's not on here anymore [22:51] lucas--: "for dir in /home/lucas/home/lucas/.Private /tmp/ecryptfs.5K1S6l25 ;do echo $dir;ls -l $dir|head -n5;done" <- pastebin [22:51] jay__: ok, so what is your actual issue? [22:52] while trying to uninstall it, i messed things up so bad my screen was black cause i did it through the package manager and i don't know what i'm doing [22:52] so that's why i asked the PROPER way to use a desktop environment so i don't do that again === bluebitx is now known as Guest31194 [22:52] issues is, how do i use a DE properly [22:52] Laibsch: ls: cannot access /home/lucas/home/lucas/.Private: No such file or directory /tmp/ecryptfs.5K1S6l25 [22:52] cairo-dock (know known as glx dock) is not a desktop enviroment. [22:52] Laibsch: did you mean /home/lucas/.Private ? [22:53] *now [22:53] oh. do i can't use cario dock [22:53] so i can't use cario dock? [22:53] lucas--: "for dir in /home/lucas /home/lucas/.Private /tmp/ecryptfs.5K1S6l25 ;do echo $dir;ls -l $dir|head -n5;done" <- pastebin [22:53] jay__: desktop enviroments are gnome, xfce, lxde, unity, kde,... [22:53] missing space [22:53] i thought there were tones of DE's? [22:53] i have tried all of those yet though [22:54] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739202/ [22:54] haven't* jesus i can't type [22:54] jay__: cairo dock is just a launcher. its a 3rd party launcher for gnome for example [22:54] Laibsch: i had a directory called catkin_ws and others right in /home/lucas. now they're not there. [22:54] oh. so it probably didn't work cause i don't have gnome installed huh? [22:54] jay__, you might be thinking of themes such as how the desktop looks not a de [22:55] yes. i want to see the different fun ways you can display a desktop [22:55] lucas--: "for dir in /home/lucas /home/lucas/.Private/ /tmp/ecryptfs.5K1S6l25 ;do echo $dir;ls -l $dir|head -n5;done" <- pastebin [22:56] !desktops | jay__ [22:56] jay__: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), !LXDE (lubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [22:56] lucas--: missing / and please include the output for the dir in /tmp [22:56] ok k1l_ so what is it that i want? not a DE? [22:56] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739208/ [22:56] Laibsch: what do u mean missing / ? [22:57] that dock thing was neat. what is that considered? how do i get more neat stuff to try like that [22:57] jay__: i dont know what you want. you told you had cairo dock installed some time ago that broke a lot. and i dont know what you want now [22:57] Laibsch: ls /tmp/ -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739212/ [22:57] i want to try things like cario dock [22:57] but i don't know what they're called [22:57] jay__, not postive but xfce-look.org has themes for xubuntu [22:58] jay__: well, then go onto the internet and search for deksopt pics and find one you like and see what the are running there [22:59] http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Conky+Blue+Rain?content=165874&PHPSESSID=02024256280df57a8d8028c623f42dca I like this! [22:59] what are these called? de's? dock's? themes? [22:59] Laibsch: (there are two ecryptfs dirs in tmp because i decrypted twice) [23:00] its xubuntu as de. but its includes conky for the other stuff [23:00] !conky | jay__ read this [23:00] !conky [23:00] i don't see anything k1l_ [23:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky [23:01] lucas--: have a look through "shopt -s dotglob;du -sx ~|sort -n;shopt -u dotglob" and see if you can pastebin that [23:01] k1l_, is conky a theme? [23:01] no [23:02] what is it? [23:02] lucas--: do you know the name of a missing file? [23:02] jay__, be aware that a full conky setup can be rather difficult and time consuming [23:02] its a program to display stuff on your desktop [23:02] ok i like that idea [23:02] i want a program on my desktop to tell me stuff [23:02] you see the weather and the other infos in that screenshot? that is conky [23:02] jay__: then go and get to know conky [23:02] what about the dock at the bottom k1l_ [23:02] i want that thing too [23:03] i'll read the link you sent me after supper [23:03] jay__: yes, they removed the old xubuntu dock in 14.04 [23:04] jay__: then see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/8865/what-docks-are-available?rq=1 [23:04] oh ok. thanks guys! [23:04] :) [23:04] jay__, you can also add another panel (dock) to the bottom if you want to [23:04] Laibsch: one missing directory is "catkin_ws" which was in /home/lucas/catkin_ws [23:05] Laibsch: the .Private dir seems to be 1.2GB big. how come there are no big files when i decrypt that? [23:05] lucas--: I gave you the last command so that we can find that out [23:05] lucas--: "find ~ -name catkin\*" [23:05] oh ok [23:07] Laibsch: du: cannot read directory ‘/home/lucas/.cache/dconf’: Permission denied [23:07] Where do I put config files that I want to affect all users on a machine? [23:07] for vim, zsh, tmux etc... [23:07] Laibsch: find returned nothing. [23:07] Like somekind of global dotfiles === revagomes_ is now known as revagomes [23:08] lucas--: what users owns ~/.cache/dconf ? and what are the permissions? [23:09] Laibsch: drw------ root root === luckybunny is now known as shariabunny [23:10] "sudo chown -R ~/.cache/dconf" [23:10] lucas--: log in and out and see if that gets you anywhere [23:10] should be interesting to see the output of the command I gave you [23:10] Laibsch: chown: missing operand after ‘/home/lucas/.cache/dconf’ [23:10] lucas--: have a look through "shopt -s dotglob;sudo du -sx ~|sort -n;shopt -u dotglob" and see if you can pastebin that === def_anoch is now known as [AFK]def_anoch [23:11] "sudo chown lucas -R ~/.cache/dconf" [23:11] or even [23:11] "sudo chown lucas.luas -R ~/.cache/dconf" [23:11] "sudo chown lucas.lucas -R ~/.cache/dconf" [23:11] Laibsch: it just outputs: 158268 /home/lucas [23:11] oh, right [23:11] Laibsch: that last one worked. [23:11] lucas--: have a look through "shopt -s dotglob;sudo du -sx ~/*|sort -n;shopt -u dotglob" and see if you can pastebin that [23:12] shoudl i log out now? [23:12] that should be better ;-) [23:12] ok [23:12] details === shariabunny is now known as luckybunny [23:13] Laibsch: http://pastebin.com/CQR1k3WG [23:13] lucas--: "sudo find ~ -user root" [23:14] Laibsch: it seems like .Private has different size there than in df [23:14] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739267/ [23:14] hello. ubuntu 14.04 install on a dell precision 360 tower. dual boot w/ win 7. ubuntu install seemed to go okay. when trying to reboot after install, client hangs. [23:15] Laibsch: df keeps giving: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739268/ [23:15] when booting back into ubuntu, i get pass the login prompt, but the screen turns black. [23:15] help? [23:17] can anyone help me get a n upstart script to be able to run screen before I run the script? I am having issues getting this to happen [23:18] lucas--: the unencrypted data amounts to a little over 100 MB. From that it looks like you lost the data. [23:18] Laibsch: but .Private seems to be 1.2GB... [23:18] let's have a look at that now [23:19] lucas--: have a look through "shopt -s dotglob;sudo du -sx ~/.Private/*|sort -n;shopt -u dotglob" and see if you can pastebin that [23:20] Laibsch: http://pastebin.com/iX33g9Wi [23:20] that's also only about 100 MB [23:21] 150 maybe [23:21] Laibsch: then why does df say otherwise? [23:21] no idea [23:21] you might recover the data with undelete === skinkitten is now known as joblessNbroke [23:22] the 1.2G might also be the amount reserved for root [23:22] Laibsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7739297/ [23:22] filesystem level === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:22] Laibsch: /home/lucas/.Private 289G 1.2G [23:23] Laibsch: the data seems to be there according to df -h [23:23] not necessarily [23:24] Laibsch: would the 1.2G be garbage? [23:26] lucas--: just a wild guess, but read the manpage and look for the -m switch [23:26] that might explain it [23:26] Laibsch: the switch for what command? [23:26] "Specify the percentage of the filesystem blocks reserved for the super-user." [23:27] man mke2fs [23:27] sounds low in your case, less than 1% [23:27] in any case, the data does not seem to be there [23:27] anymore [23:28] e2undel might be able to undelete it if it was deleted [23:28] Laibsch: i'm using only 1% of the space i have, yes. it's a new system [23:28] but it might make things worse [23:28] just a few days [23:28] it looks pretty bad [23:28] what should I do? the data seems to be there... :/ [23:28] once again: no [23:28] it's NOT there [23:28] why are they saying it's there then? [23:28] from what I can see here [23:28] it's like "deleted files" data? [23:29] I gave you two possible explanations above [23:29] or wild guesses [23:29] so the update did rm ~ ? [23:29] no, you seem to have a number of issues with your system [23:30] including the permissions problems [23:30] remember that ki7mt reminded you about those? [23:31] There's an annoying thing since trusty. Whereas in previous releases a click on the scroll-bar resulted in one page scroll up or down nowadays it jumps to the relative position where you click (clicking in the top 10% will bring you to the top 10% of the document). How to go back to the old behaviour, please? [23:32] lucas--, I know that 1000 people lived in my house because someone told me so...everything else says that only 10 people live there...I know that what everyone else is telling me is wong because the one said that it is true [23:33] larrypg: the question is why would they lie? [23:33] their lie is consistent with the data i had there. [23:34] Laibsch: i didn't have any permissions issues. ki7mt didn't say that at all. it was something else [23:34] OK, you seem to have issues with reality [23:35] (07:42:27) ki7mt: lucas--, permissions, mount points, remounted mount points, forgotten passphrases, [23:35] for you to remember [23:35] Laibsch: yes that's something else. [23:35] and you pastebin'd a couple of files with incorrect permissions [23:35] yes, of course [23:35] Laibsch: maybe the update change the permissions. i have no idea. [23:35] and I need to do something else now, too [23:35] sorry [23:35] best of luck [23:36] Laibsch: anyway, when running testdisk, i can find the files in the disk! they might be "deleted" files. [23:36] Does ubunt netboot require any kernel params beyond "boot=live ip=:::::: and fetch=http:///...../fs.squashfs"? [23:36] like I said, e2undel might recover your files [23:36] no idea [23:36] ever heard any talk about it in here? [23:38] Laibsch: thanks :) [23:38] yw [23:38] if testdisk already displays your files then why not recover them? [23:38] * Laibsch hasn't used that program === no_mu is now known as Nothing_Much === dfgas_off is now known as dfgas === [AFK]def_anoch is now known as def_anoch === jibran|afk is now known as jibran [23:56] hey guys. is it normal that my pc was frozen when i came back after about an hour? it was just sitting there with the web browser open. is this a regular thing in linux? [23:56] how do I kill an app via terminal? gui is unresponsive [23:56] i would assume not but you know. thought i'd ask [23:56] warzone<< [23:57] by frozen i mean i couldn't do a single thing. not even move the mouse. i had to hard reset it
