| Glorfindel | where can I get the Wubi program? It isn't on the download page anymore | 00:32 |
| SchrodingersScat | !wubi | Glorfindel | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Glorfindel: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information.

| jazzkutya | hi, i'd like to read opinions and advices on what filesystem to use for general storage that would be shared between ubuntu and win7. ext3 or ntfs? | 00:35 |
| function9 | jazzkutya: ntfs | 00:36 |
| bblindy | function9: you restart samba by running (as root) "service samba restart" | 00:36 |
| function9 | bblindy: ty | 00:36 |
| SchrodingersScat | jazzkutya: I don't think you can run executables off ntfs, not sure if windows can read ext3 at all | 00:36 |
| [1]hypergrove | Hi how do I stop a service (php-fpm) that is NOT listed in service --status-all | 00:37 |
| jazzkutya | SchrodingersScat: general storage, no need to have elfs in there | 00:37 |
| [1]hypergrove | if i attempt to restart it, then it reports it's already running | 00:37 |
| function9 | [1]hypergrove: you gotta find out how it is being executed. | 00:39 |
| Samtodd | Is there a way to control my fan speeds in Ubuntu? | 00:40 |

| TheTrash | holstein: I was following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades , actually | 01:12 |
| holstein | TheTrash: you'll need the one for end of life upgrades | 01:12 |
| newebie87 | i installed screenlets but it seems it's no longer supported is there a "widget" replacement? | 01:13 |
| holstein | TheTrash: you should have backups regardless.. and at somepoint, a fresh install will just be much easier, and i always prefer them.. otherwise you need to follow proceedure for EOL versions | 01:13 |
| TheTrash | Well, the system is in a weird state, but it's still booting, so at least I've got that going for me. | 01:14 |
| holstein | a fresh install will boot, and funciton properly, and take about 8 minuts to install | 01:15 |

| holstein | a fresh install* | 01:15 |

| TheTrash | Yeah I guess... I'll fiddle a bit and if I get no results, I guess I'll just back up the important configs and give up. | 01:16 |
| holstein | TheTrash: you shoud have important configs backedup regardless | 01:16 |

| TheTrash | Just seems so silly, it's choking on a readme file. | 01:20 |
| TheTrash | I'd like it to ignore that and just get on with it. | 01:20 |
| m0hamed | hello | 01:21 |
| TheTrash | holstein: what would happen if I force remove it (it has deps and they're a bit essential) then freshly install that package? | 01:23 |
| TheTrash | I'm a bit surprised dpkg -i --force-all sysv-rc_2.88dsf-41ubuntu6_all.deb won't do it | 01:25 |
| rypervenche | TheTrash: You could always touch that file so it finds it. | 01:26 |
| TheTrash | rypervenche: that's the thing, it exists. | 01:26 |
| rypervenche | TheTrash: run "stat /etc/rc5.d/README.dpkg-tmp" for me please | 01:27 |
| TheTrash | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7753698/ | 01:28 |
| jazzkutya | TheTrash: my guess is corrupt filesystem, but wait for rypervenche's answer | 01:32 |
| jazzkutya | anyway if i'm right then it's fsck time :) | 01:33 |
| TheTrash | Hmpf I rebooted, figured it'd fsck, but it's headless. | 01:33 |
| TheTrash | Need to hook up a screen, I guess. | 01:33 |
| === peter is now known as Guest81843 | ||

| Ben64 | i don't think the filesystem is the problem | 01:36 |
| rypervenche | TheTrash: let's move to a PM so we don't spam everyone. | 01:37 |

| znake11 | hello | 01:45 |
| boogle | hello | 01:46 |
| znake11 | i have a computer question | 01:46 |
| boogle | what is it | 01:46 |
| reisio | znake11: prove it! | 01:46 |
| TheTrash | Doh, corrupt filesystem indeed, rebooted with a forced fsck, it found some errors, fixed them, now it's continuing. | 01:46 |
| TheTrash | Probably turned that file into a Heisenfile. | 01:46 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: see? :) | 01:47 |
| reisio | heh | 01:47 |
| TheTrash | Thanks for the pointers, guys. | 01:47 |
| TheTrash | Fun detail: the install is on a SD-card in a SATA-to-SD adapter. | 01:48 |
| TheTrash | I do get the occasional fs corruption, but usually they get picked up on boot. | 01:48 |
| TheTrash | Maybe I should fork out the $30 to get a proper SSD in this machine. | 01:49 |
| jazzkutya | TheTrash: you may want to do a very intensive memtest then but i'm not sure | 01:49 |
| TheTrash | In my experience, these removable storage devices are simply a lot less reliable, I have similar experiences running stuff off USB keys | 01:50 |
| TheTrash | Probably missing a few of the integrity preservation mechanisms that are present on normal drives. | 01:51 |
| jazzkutya | i see your point | 01:51 |
| TheTrash | Usually nothing a fsck can't fix though... and this time too, it just caught me off guard by the peculiar manifestation :) | 01:53 |
| newebie87 | i installed screenlets on ubuntu but it seems it's no longer supported is there a "widget" replacement? | 01:54 |
| reisio | newebie87: what's it do? | 01:57 |

| meganerd | modernbob: does /var/log/samba exist? | 03:12 |
| meganerd | modernbob: do you have enough disk space? | 03:12 |
| modernbob | the install drive is on a 4tb drive.. I think so | 03:12 |
| modernbob | the samba dir exists but no log file in it | 03:13 |
| modernbob | that was the first file I tried to look for when I noticed this | 03:13 |
| meganerd | modernbob: I don't care how big the drive is, how full are the partitions. | 03:13 |
| modernbob | no its not full | 03:14 |
| function9 | niranjan: try synaptic | 03:14 |
| niranjan | function9: Tried that, it recommends to use command line | 03:15 |

| function9 | niranjan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:19 |
| niranjan | function9: already tried that - this is brand new install and after installation I am just trying to install emacs as first thing | 03:20 |
| function9 | niranjan: stable packages? | 03:20 |
| niranjan | apt-get clean seems to be helping - its downloading again | 03:21 |
| pavlos | modernbob, I suggest you remove samba and samba-common, clean up with autoremove then do it again 1) install samba samba-common 2) start services the default smb.conf is good. Later, you can add shares. | 03:21 |
| niranjan | function9 : Yes, everything stable | 03:21 |
| function9 | niranjan: good | 03:21 |
| modernbob | pavlos: already done that twice and even purged those packages to get rid of the files in the dir's... There is something else wrong.. | 03:22 |
| niranjan | function9 : Thank for the help, annoyed that this is 2nd time this is happening on 14.04 - actually similar problems forced to me reformat and then install. Very mysterious crashes | 03:22 |
| modernbob | oh well | 03:22 |
| vychune | hi i cant upload with ftp at all, not even to my home folder. Any ideas on whats wrong | 03:22 |
| pavlos | modernbob, something else is wrong ... I did those steps on my laptop 5 min ago | 03:22 |
| === digifiv5e is now known as Guest22956 | ||
| function9 | niranjan: np :) | 03:22 |
| modernbob | pavlos: its not killing me.. I can ftp through the network internally and I share the printers through cups but it would be nice to have smb working. | 03:23 |
| modernbob | I can live with it | 03:24 |
| modernbob | pavlos: thanks for the help | 03:24 |
| pavlos | modernbob, np | 03:24 |
| vychune | anybody? | 03:24 |
| modernbob | vychune: perhaps permissions | 03:25 |
| holstein | vychune: permission.. | 03:25 |
| vychune | checked files can be written locally | 03:25 |
| holstein | vychune: how about via FTP? | 03:25 |
| modernbob | vychune: did you check the dir they are in | 03:25 |
| holstein | vychune: if not, troubleshoot your permissions.. | 03:25 |
| vychune | yes | 03:26 |
| vychune | modernbob, yes they were in /home/(my user) | 03:26 |
| vychune | holstein, permission are correct | 03:27 |
| holstein | vychune: how are you confimirming? | 03:27 |
| vychune | phone conversation | 03:28 |
| holstein | vychune: ah.. id see for yourself, then. first-hand.. its likely permissions.. | 03:28 |
| vychune | hes using GNOME locally, the permission were changed | 03:29 |
| vychune | if its of any use, i cant even login to Webmin Remotely | 03:30 |
| vychune | if its of any use, i cant even login to Webmin remotely holstein (correction) | 03:30 |
| daftykins | !webmin | 03:31 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 03:31 |
| ssj5goku | i am new to ubuntu...where should i update my ubuntu? | 03:31 |
| holstein | vychune: sounds like permissions issues to me | 03:31 |
| vychune | daftykins, thanks | 03:31 |
| ssj5goku | i have heard that upgrading using the update tool is a bit harmful.. | 03:32 |
| holstein | ssj5goku: there is an update manager,... also many ways, more manual.. such as "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal | 03:32 |
| holstein | ssj5goku: the update tool is harmful? not likely.. its all managed packages from managed sources.. unless you have edit the sources | 03:32 |
| cfhowlett | ssj5goku the update tool = the command line. it just has a pretty interface. | 03:33 |
| modernbob | pavlos: just did a kernel upgrade and now its working? | 03:33 |
| pavlos | modernbob, holy molly ... | 03:33 |
| ssj5goku | @holstein i want to upgrade my ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 | 03:33 |
| ssj5goku | is it ok?? | 03:33 |
| vychune | okay, maybe i'm missing what you mean by permissions. | 03:33 |
| daftykins | !eol | ssj5goku | 03:34 |
| ubottu | ssj5goku: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | ssj5goku 13.10 will reach end of life quite shortly. consider upgrading to 14.04 for long term support | 03:34 |
| holstein | ssj5goku: i suggest backup and fresh install of 14.04.. but, that is an "upgrade".. not a simple "update".. | 03:34 |
| modernbob | im out.. thanks pavlos again | 03:35 |
| ssj5goku | holstein: ok.. ho to ugrade to 14.04? | 03:36 |
| ssj5goku | will i have to backup all my data | 03:37 |
| robinhood2014 | I'm having trouble getting Java or OpenJDK working on Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04. | 03:37 |
| cfhowlett | ssj5goku download the iso. make a usb. boot the usb and clean install | 03:37 |
| ssj5goku | ok.. | 03:37 |
| holstein | ssj5goku: you *should* have your data backedup regardless.. *all* hard drives fail | 03:37 |
| ssj5goku | ok.. | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | holstein ! valaur morgalis! all HDD's must die ... | 03:38 |
| holstein | after doing that, i personally find it easier to just get the 14.04 live CD, see how it runs on my hardware, and fresh install.. you can see the EOL upgrade link above about how to upgrade your EOL 13.04 to 13.10 and/or to 14.04.. | 03:38 |
| vychune | holstein, Ok how do I give permission to FTP? The default permissions on this machine are screwy | 03:38 |
| vychune | cfhowlett, lol | 03:38 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| holstein | vychune: i would set up a user and give it permission.. and test | 03:39 |
| holstein | vychune: i would also get simple with the setup and just ping the machine.. | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | "Omnes HDD est nisi mortuum fuerit" | 03:40 |
| vychune | i can hit the machine and login with ftp, just can't change anything | 03:40 |
| holstein | vychune: then, migrate to a directory that that user can change.. and elaborate about "screwy".. if the machine is broken... | 03:41 |
| vychune | software not hardware | 03:42 |
| holstein | vychune: sure.. i didnt mean to imply anything different | 03:42 |
| vychune | oh well duhhh lol holstein | 03:42 |
| holstein | vychune: if the *software* on the machine is broken.. though, you'd do a good step to test the hardware as well | 03:42 |
| vychune | gnome system tools wasnt even installed now that i think abut it | 03:43 |
| vychune | holstein, new user cant ftp either | 03:45 |
| vychune | sounds like the umask now doesnt it? holstein | 03:45 |
| holstein | vychune: no.. sounds like misconfiguration, and permissions to me.. i would just start in somewhere and confirm.. or, just ssh in and do what needs to be done | 03:46 |
| holstein | vychune: ftp really shouldnt be used, depending on what you are doing.. | 03:46 |
| vychune | holstein, i would like to use sftp | 03:47 |
| vychune | but we cant even write anything | 03:47 |
| vychune | holstein, web development and hosting | 03:48 |
| holstein | vychune: so, you want to use ssh, anyways.. | 03:49 |
| Ben64 | vychune: yeah you should be using sftp, pastebin any errors resulting from that | 03:49 |
| holstein | or, what Ben64 ^ is suggesting.. | 03:49 |
| hdtune2k | hi | 03:52 |
| vychune | holstein, trying ssh | 03:53 |
| dotDeb | hdtune2k hi | 03:54 |
| === damccull_ is now known as damccull | ||
| vychune | connection refused holstein Ben64 | 03:55 |
| === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin | ||
| holstein | vychune: so, check the firewall.. make sure you can ping.. check locally that you can connect to "ssh localhost" if thats an option.. | 03:56 |
| holstein | again, if the software is "screwy", you'll need to elaborate.. if something is broken, you'll need to address it | 03:57 |
| vychune | holstein, TCP and UDP on the firewall right? | 03:57 |
| holstein | vychune: can you test locally? | 03:57 |
| holstein | vychune: if you can, then do that, first.. so you are not troubleshooting local and lan firewalls, and connectivity *and* the ssh server and all of that at once | 03:58 |
| vychune | local login works holstein | 03:59 |
| holstein | vychune: local ssh login? | 04:00 |
| vychune | holstein, yes sir | 04:00 |
| holstein | vychune: then, try on the lan.. ssh ipaddress.. ssh user@192.168.5.5 or whatever | 04:00 |
| vychune | holstein, just a sec, he has to download putty | 04:05 |
| vychune | holstein, connection refused | 04:07 |
| holstein | vychune: can you ping the machine? or not? | 04:09 |
| holstein | vychune: are you still on the lan? | 04:09 |
| vychune | he's on the lan yes | 04:11 |
| holstein | vychune: he? are *you* on the lan? or no? | 04:11 |
| vychune | im on the otherside of town | 04:11 |
| holstein | vychune: if "he" is third person troubleshooting, tell *him* to come here.. | 04:12 |
| vychune | im third person troubleshooting | 04:12 |
| vychune | i cant get there | 04:12 |
| Priya-- | hi | 04:12 |
| vychune | hes in another city | 04:12 |
| holstein | vychune: ok.. *you* can ask the user about his setup.. local connection, and then lan.. firewalls, etc.. *he* can join this public channel | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | Priya-- ask your #ubuntu question | 04:13 |
| vychune | holstein, we would have to teach him linux in the process | 04:14 |
| Priya-- | cfhowlett: my computer is getting corrupted very often | 04:14 |
| Annihilator009 | please help my ubuntu ternimal doesn't respond to any commands? | 04:14 |
| holstein | vychune: ? to connect to the support channel? not likely | 04:14 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Priya-- | 04:15 |
| ubottu | Priya--: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 04:15 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: what commands are you trying? you cant type in it? what errors? if any.. | 04:15 |
| Priya-- | nm | 04:15 |
| holstein | Priya--: i would test my hard drive, and consider replacing it.. if its becoming corrupted regularly | 04:15 |
| daftykins | and RAM | 04:15 |
| holstein | ^ yup.. +1 on ram test.. | 04:16 |
| Annihilator009 | like fdisk-l etc... and also when it asks for password,when i type it doesn't show | 04:16 |
| Annihilator009 | holstein^^ | 04:16 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: passwords *dont* show.. they wont | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | Annihilator009 ^^^ this | 04:16 |
| vychune | Annihilator009, they dont show for sercutiy | 04:16 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: and fdisk requires sudo.. so, try "sudo fdisk -l" and dont expect to see your password. just type as if its going in | 04:16 |
| Annihilator009 | but also when i press enter it says try again | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | Annihilator009 means you put in a bad psswd | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | but i m sure it's correct | 04:17 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: sure.. but, thats not that he command isnt working.. or the terminal.. | 04:17 |
| vychune | *security | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | as for the sudo i use it | 04:17 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: you use what? | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | sudo fdisk -l | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | it just doesn't display | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | anything | 04:17 |
| Annihilator009 | i just recently installed it | 04:18 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: installed what? | 04:18 |
| helpmeplox | Hi! | 04:18 |
| Annihilator009 | ubuntu 14.04 | 04:18 |
| cfhowlett | helpmeplox ask your ubuntu question | 04:19 |
| helpmeplox | I have a really simple question that a lot of people are probably going to know the answer to | 04:19 |
| Annihilator009 | please help? holestein | 04:19 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: nothing you are saying seems to indicate any error.. please open the terminal and run "uname -a".. do you get output? | 04:19 |
| helpmeplox | Okay, so I used xmodmap to remap my backspace key to my capslock key, since my backspace is broken | 04:19 |
| helpmeplox | That went well | 04:19 |
| Annihilator009 | wait | 04:19 |
| helpmeplox | Buuut, now I can't get rid of the caps lock function of the key | 04:19 |
| vychune | tonyedwards, holstein he's in | 04:19 |
| helpmeplox | how do I make it backspace and nothing else? | 04:20 |
| Annihilator009 | i did get an output | 04:20 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: congrats.. the terminal is working.. | 04:20 |
| Annihilator009 | so then what do you think is the problem? | 04:20 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: as i said, nothing | 04:21 |
| Annihilator009 | ok | 04:21 |
| Annihilator009 | but what about the password thingy | 04:21 |
| helpmeplox | Is anyone able to figure out how to completely switch the keys? | 04:22 |
| Annihilator009 | holestien but what about the password thingy | 04:22 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: you can try "sudo -i" to make sure you are inputting the password properly.. i say, since you have been looking for the text of the password to show, you are just not familiar with the way sudo works.. and thats ok. you'll figure it out | 04:22 |
| Annihilator009 | ok | 04:22 |
| Annihilator009 | it still doesn't work | 04:23 |
| holstein | !tab | 04:23 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:23 |
| Annihilator009 | though i m sure password is correct | 04:23 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: ok.. ask a question... "it doesnt work" is a statement | 04:24 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: either the password is working, or its not.. is it? | 04:25 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: whats the error message? | 04:25 |
| Annihilator009 | ok so when i type in my password(doesn't appear) and press enter it says "sorry,Try again",though i m sure the password is correct | 04:25 |
| tonyedwards | Any idea why no users can write to any directories? | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | tonyedwards permissions ... | 04:26 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: then, you must "try again".. make sure you are typing it properly, and the user has sudo access.. and you are using the one for that user | 04:26 |
| Annihilator009 | yes.i m sure it's correct | 04:27 |
| tonyedwards | Users can write locally, but not over FTP cfhowlett | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | tonyedwards FTP? no experience. dont' want to give bad advice. perhaps ##linux or #ubuntu-server can advise | 04:28 |
| holstein | Annihilator009: im not, though.. and neither is the computer. which is the key element here | 04:28 |
| holstein | tonyedwards: you shouldnt be using ftp like that, anyways. you should be using an ssh server for that | 04:28 |
| vychune | holstein, this is this guy I was talking about | 04:29 |
| vychune | holstein, we cant get ssh up | 04:29 |
| helpmeplox | sO DOES ANyone know how to swap keys completely without them retaining their original FUNCTIOn in addition to their new one? | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | !keymap | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | !keymapping | 04:30 |
| vychune | helpmeplox, why not just use delete? | 04:30 |
| helpmeplox | because that's not nearly as fast as backsapce | 04:30 |
| helpmeplox | and my backspace actuator is dead | 04:30 |
| holstein | tonyedwards: i would disable and remove ftp, install an ssh server, and connect locally, with "ssh localhost" to make sure the machine's ssh is working.. then, test with another machine on the lan with "ssh user@ipaddress". *then* move on to the port forwarding | 04:30 |
| holstein | !ssh | 04:30 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 04:30 |
| Annihilator009 | i think my password is wrong now how do i change it holstein? | 04:31 |
| helpmeplox | So is there a way to completely switch the keys or am I SOL? | 04:31 |
| Annihilator009 | please help | 04:31 |

| holstein | vychune: you stated you could connect with "ssh localhost" if so, then ssh is up | 04:32 |

| jazzkutya | i have a habit of installing 32bit ubuntu on machines with 4g ram. I am just about to change my habit but on the kubuntu download page the 32bit version is given as recommended. can anyone tell me why? Already tried #kubuntu | 05:14 |
| rww | jazzkutya: because 32-bit works on 32-bit and 64-bit computers, whereas 64-bit only works on 64-bit computers | 05:14 |
| cfhowlett | jazzkutya but if you computer is 64 bit capable, go for it. | 05:15 |
| vychune | ok i have one now. phpmyadmin is installed but the page is not showing locally or remotety | 05:15 |
| vychune | *remotely | 05:15 |
| rww | (Ubuntu's download page used to be the same way.) | 05:15 |
| jazzkutya | rww: with that logic ubuntu.com should also recommend 32bit, but over there 64bit is the default choice | 05:15 |
| === amir_ is now known as Guest39480 | ||
| rww | jazzkutya: Yep. ubuntu.com apparently decided that they don't agree. Given that the two sites are run by different groups, this isn't surprising. | 05:16 |
| rww | But yeah, there is no support or quality difference between the two architectures. | 05:16 |
| jazzkutya | rww: so is it sure that there are no other reasons for kubuntu recommending 32bit? | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | jazzkutya: its the users choice | 05:17 |
| meganerd | jazzkutya: You will be hard pressed to find a machine made in the last 8 years that is not x86_64 compatible. | 05:17 |

| silicone | Any ideas on why, in simple scan, xubuntu detected the scanner automatically, but wheezy didn't? | 05:39 |
| linuxuz3r | maybe because its upstart | 05:40 |
| meganerd | silicone: compare the output of "dpkg-get-selections > pkgs.txt" on both machines. Chances are you are missing something in Debian, probably a nonfree package. | 05:46 |
| silicone | meganerd: good idea | 05:47 |
| dotdotdot | I am trying to watch a stream on one monitor full screen. When I click anywhere on my other monitor, the stream goes back to small size. Is there anyway to avoid this? | 05:47 |
| meganerd | silicone: that should be "dpkg --get-selections" | 05:47 |
| meganerd | dotdotdot: for youtube videos I just download them via youtube-dl, and then use a proper media player | 05:48 |
| dotdotdot | ah. alrigh. thank you meganerd. | 05:48 |

| meganerd | dotdotdot: I am on a single monitor machine at the moment, I tried messing with the "more actions -> special window settings" in KDE, but I honestly can't remember if that worked. | 05:50 |
| dotdotdot | thank you meganerd | 05:50 |
| meganerd | dotdotdot: np | 05:50 |
| silicone | meganerd: in wheezy dpkg --get-selections is huge! Is there anything in particular I'd be looking for? | 05:50 |
| sbaitso | hello, anyone familiar with making a custom .XCompose file for custom key combination definitions? how do you know what to call all keys? | 05:51 |
| meganerd | silicone: "dpkg --get-selections |grep ^i" will limit it to installed packages, probably more useful to compare the output of that on both machines. | 05:51 |
| meganerd | silicone: erm sorry, that is for apt-get/aptitude, "dpkg --get-selections |grep install" | 05:52 |
| meganerd | silicone: if you want to be sure "dpkg --get-selections |grep -w install$" | 05:54 |
| meganerd | silicone: IIRC, debian shows you the state of all packages (deinstall, install, purge etc.) while by default the Ubuntu version only shows installed packages. | 05:55 |
| silicone | meganerd: Okay - I see. | 05:56 |
| meganerd | silicone: there is probably a cleaner way to do it (I imagine a parameter or something), but I have been using that command since the 90s | 05:56 |
| silicone | :meganerd: Is there a particuler word that is associated with printers or scanners? | 05:58 |
| meganerd | silicone: I would start with sane/xsane, but the problem is that a lot of devices need nonfree firmware in order to function, and there is really no consistency in those names. The firmware might not even ship with Debian. | 06:00 |
| sbaitso | how do i make a custom key combination in ubuntu 14.04 | 06:02 |
| meganerd | silicone: if it is a usb device checking dmesg would at least tell you if the device is registered when plugged in. lsusb might help. Honestly this is pretty much the main reason I don't use Debian on the desktop anymore (and why I am here in Ubuntu). You might want to talk to the Debian specific chans. | 06:03 |
| rade | Hi | 06:04 |
| meganerd | silicone: in ubuntu, the kernel related firmware blobs are in /lib/firmware, and if you see something related to your device there, you might be able to copy those files over. | 06:04 |

| vychune | does anyone know if you need a static IP address for a site on a server behind a ISP router | 06:16 |
| vychune | ? | 06:16 |
| Ben64 | vychune: static ips are great for websites. dns isn't always very quick to update. you should also check with your isp if hosting is allowed on your connection | 06:17 |
| vychune | Ben64 thanks | 06:17 |
| meganerd | vychune: dynamic dns is pretty handy | 06:17 |
| vychune | meganerd, how would i set that up with BIND? | 06:18 |
| meganerd | vychune: you want a dynamic IP to be a DNS server? | 06:19 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, you mean a static ip for the machine? (i.e. is your router implementing NAT?) | 06:19 |
| vychune | meganerd, yes chrstphrchvz, router is using NAT yes | 06:19 |
| meganerd | vychune: I keep my DNS servers on static IPs on VPSs that I rent. What you could do is get a service like dyndns, and the when you register the domain use the dyndns hostname for your dns server. | 06:20 |
| meganerd | vychune: some ISPs block inbound DNS queries, so this might not actually work. | 06:21 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, meganerd, it would also depend on the router being used and what capabilities are enabled--e.g. NAT firewall port forwarding | 06:21 |

| meganerd | vychune: it would help to know what it is that you want to do. | 06:26 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, Not necessarily--that's a feature of the dynamic dns right, (meganerd)? … | 06:26 |
| vychune | meganerd, We want to host two sites on one server | 06:27 |
| vychune | as well as phpmyadmin stuff like that | 06:27 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, meganerd, clarification: the purpose of having a static ip *on the machine* is to let the router know what host to forward ports to (typically)… | 06:28 |
| meganerd | chrstphrchvz: no, vhosts is what it sounds like he wants | 06:28 |
| vychune | meganerd, right | 06:29 |
| meganerd | chrstphrchvz: vychune, IPv4 is painful, OK to be clear, the static IP on the NAT'd "server" is a good idea, the dynamicDNS just helps with the publically routable IP being dynamically assigned | 06:29 |
| blahdeblah1 | Hi all. I'm running into a really annoying limitation in the 14.04 installer: it seems you can only set up drive encryption if you use the "wipe drive and install Ubuntu option". This means I end up with a 256 MB /boot, which is way too small nowadays. Anyone know a workaround? | 06:29 |
| meganerd | vychune: do you have the domain names already? | 06:29 |
| vychune | meganerd, yes yes | 06:30 |
| === asdofindia_ is now known as asdofindia | ||
| meganerd | vychune: and do you have a DNS server for these domains? | 06:31 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: 256M really isn't a lot, but considering a kernel is just a couple megs big, I don't think it's that big of a deal | 06:31 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: for whatever reason, I was able to use the xubuntu installer and then manually set my /boot to 500MB | 06:32 |
| vychune | I want to setup the NAT'd "server" with DNS | 06:32 |
| meganerd | vychune: for the record I hate NAT with the intensity of a thousand suns | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | vychune: you would be much better off getting a small vps to start out on | 06:33 |
| meganerd | vychune: +1 to Ben64's suggestion | 06:33 |
| vychune | not an option | 06:33 |
| vychune | for a client | 06:33 |
| vychune | must use this server | 06:34 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: A kernel + initrd is over 20 MB, and I frequently want to have 10 or more kernels installed. I've got servers that were installed with 256 MB /boot on 10.04 and over the upgrades to 12.04 and beyond have filled it very quickly. | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | vychune: i'm not following what you mean by that | 06:34 |
| blahdeblah1 | meganerd: Setting it to 500 MB is easy; setting it to 500 MB and getting full disk encryption to work is my issue. | 06:34 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: I had to use the xubuntu installer to do exactly that | 06:34 |
| vychune | Ben64: installing WP for a client, must use the server in question | 06:35 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: yesterday in fact | 06:35 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: and... why exactly do you need that many kernels? Is your hardware configuration really so unstable that you need to boot into a different kernel to get something to work? | 06:35 |
| meganerd | vychune: self hosting of WP is probably not the best. What is the main driver for this? | 06:35 |
| blahdeblah1 | meganerd: So xubuntu's installer has complete support for encryption? Can you then install normal Ubuntu (or Lubuntu, which might be more my thing) afterwards? | 06:35 |
| === feiScript_ is now known as feiScript | ||
| Ben64 | vychune: Then you should let them know hosting a website on a residential connection is likely a violation of the TOS from the ISP, and even if not, still not a great idea. Especially combined with dynamic ip address. | 06:36 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: Yes, you can, it's a metapackage, I think it's named ubuntu_desktop or something like that | 06:36 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: Because I expect this to be a long-lived machine. | 06:36 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: I just installed the other DEs (I installed the default and KDE) once xubuntu was installed. | 06:36 |
| blahdeblah1 | It's nothing to do with unstable hardware configurations. | 06:36 |
| DusXMT | But why do you need them? Do you even boot into them, when you have them? | 06:36 |
| vychune | Ben64 it's a business account | 06:37 |
| meganerd | vychune: and they plan on keeping WP up to date? | 06:37 |
| vychune | meganerd, server is managed by their tech support (not me) | 06:38 |
| vychune | meganerd, thats my job | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: Do you really think keeping a 256 MB /boot is that big a deal that I shouldn't be allowed a reason to want something larger? | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: If you upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 and then add linux-image-current-generic, you end up with a 3.2 train, a 3.8 train, and a 3.10+ train. | 06:38 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: apt-get autoremove | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah1 | The updater doesn't always do the right thing with removing the old ones either | 06:38 |
| blahdeblah1 | meganerd: I know what apt-get autoremove does; I just don't want to have to do it very often | 06:38 |
| vychune | blahdeblah1, why not use crom to do it for you? | 06:39 |
| meganerd | vychune: so you have a server that is behind a NAT, and you are trying to install WP on this server? | 06:39 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: well, then just remove them in aptitude or synaptic, that big of a deal? I do agree that an installer should allow you to customize your partition sizes, but I just don't see a need for the old kernels | 06:39 |
| meganerd | vychune: and you also need a DNS server? | 06:39 |
| blahdeblah1 | vychune: In my experience apt-get autoremove doesn't always do the right thing, and sometimes removes things that I want kept. | 06:40 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: and the package with the default desktop is ubuntu-desktop, that should install unity and everything else that comes by default on ubuntu onto xubuntu | 06:40 |
| vychune | WP is installed but yes i need a DNS to host both the client site and the tech's site | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah1 | I might have a shot at the xubuntu installer then | 06:40 |
| blahdeblah1 | thanks meganerd | 06:40 |
| meganerd | vychune: I do something similar for some of personal stuff that I serve out of the basement, but I keep DNS somewhere else | 06:40 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: if autoremove removes things you don't want, you need to configure it otherwise. Go into aptitude or synaptics and mark the packages it would autoremove that you want to keep as manually installed | 06:41 |
| meganerd | blahdeblah1: I spent 3 days trying to reinstall my laptop, ended up just trying the other installers (Kubuntu seems to fail on full disk encryption) | 06:41 |
| sbaitso | keyboard configuration is not persistent between boots, what to do? | 06:41 |
| vychune | meganerd such as? | 06:41 |
| meganerd | vychune: Since this sounds like a company, I would get a static IP | 06:41 |
| vychune | meganerd, Owner is El Cheapo | 06:42 |
| sbaitso | why is dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration not persistent? | 06:42 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, meganerd: I had done a similar setup, but I did not need dns setup internally--the NAT loopback worked in my case that I could even use the dynamic dns address to access via LAN. | 06:43 |
| meganerd | I have VPSs from here: http://buyvm.net/ and I also rent a physical server from http://www.ovh.com/ca/en/ | 06:43 |
| meganerd | vychune: on top of the KVM server in the basement | 06:43 |
| vychune | meganerd, nice lol | 06:43 |
| vychune | i have a VPS with BandwagonHost myself | 06:44 |
| Riobe | Is there a hotkey that disables/toggles your mouse? Mine just turned off and I'm wondering what I did to make that happen. Maybe a hotkey? | 06:44 |
| meganerd | vychune: it makes for a great learning platform, and my total outlay is still less than my ISP connection ($35/month for the server, <$10/month per VPS) | 06:44 |
| vychune | i got mine for like a year 12.99 i think | 06:45 |
| chrstphrchvz | Riobe: are you using a laptop? | 06:45 |
| meganerd | vychune: I have a VPS that is like $20/year | 06:45 |
| meganerd | vychune: good enough for a dns server | 06:45 |
| meganerd | vychune: I also make use of dyndns for my router (a vanilla Ubuntu server), and I lean heavily on IPv6 these for sane connectivity | 06:46 |
| meganerd | vychune: and saltstack to wrangle them all | 06:47 |
| vychune | meganerd, ok then | 06:47 |
| vychune | btw mine is 9.99 a year :) (bragging lol) | 06:47 |
| vychune | saltstack? | 06:47 |
| meganerd | vychune: totally overkill, but if you need to use that server behind a NAT, your life will be a lot easier with a static IP. | 06:47 |
| meganerd | vychune: remote command execution with configuration management on top. | 06:48 |
| vychune | i think hostgator will be the best choice | 06:48 |
| meganerd | vychune: I reset my password on 20 machines (physical and virtual) today with two commands. saltstack.org. This is a very deep rabbit hole for sysadmins. | 06:49 |
| vychune | holy s*** meganerd | 06:49 |
| meganerd | vychune: I meant to say saltstack is overkill for your project | 06:51 |
| meganerd | vychune: a static IP makes a lot of sense and simplifies things considerably (mainly by removing the most annoying problem). | 06:51 |
| Riobe | chrstphrchz: No, and sorry for the delayed reponse. My mouse goes through my keyboard normally, so I unplugged the keyboard USB's and put them back in and lost my keyboard too. Mouse doesn't work when plugged in directly to USB either. Found a PS2 keyboard for the moment though. | 06:52 |
| Riobe | Looks like my USB just kicked it. | 06:52 |
| chrstphrchvz | blahdeblah1, meganerd: in the 14.10 installer, in the manual partition list there is "configure encrypted volumes" which can be done after creating sufficiently large /boot | 06:52 |
| silicone | meganerd: In case you wondered, installed hplip solved it as it is was an hp printer. Thanks for you advice. | 06:53 |
| Riobe | Is there a way to see if USB is no longer available, or to recover it? My USB keyboard and mouse stopped working and I'm not sure what I did to screw them up. Sorry I don't know how to ask that question better. | 06:54 |
| chrstphrchvz | Riobe: for me, it's usually the other way around when the ps/2 stops working. You have tried rebooting, right? | 06:54 |
| blahdeblah1 | chrstphrchvz: That's good to know | 06:54 |
| meganerd | silicone: glad I could help. | 06:54 |
| Riobe | chrstphrchz: No, I was hoping there might be a way to troubleshoot it while running. I'll go ahead and save things and give it a try. | 06:55 |
| meganerd | chrstphrchvz: good to know. That sounds like the installer that xubuntu uses | 06:55 |
| chrstphrchvz | blahdeblah1, it's the "partition disks" screen that you usually get if you select manual partitioning or go back after using "Guided…". | 06:55 |
| blahdeblah1 | yep - pity it's not there on 14.10 | 06:55 |
| vychune | meganerd, 100 dollars for static IP, got a straight H**L NO | 06:56 |
| vychune | $100/month | 06:56 |
| chrstphrchvz | meganerd, this is the "alternate" installer I think. blahdeblah1 -- I'm almost certain it's not a new feature. | 06:56 |
| * blahdeblah1 wonders if he missed the alternate installer when downloading. That's what I did on 10.04, but I thought they removed that. | 06:57 | |
| meganerd | vychune: so you basically have a couple of problems to solve. First is that your external IP will change, so your DNS servers will be functionally unreachable unless you register for dynamic dns (this is just for an automatically updating hostname that you can use with the domain registrar) | 06:57 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, "off the top of my head" dyndns is $5/mo, but i'm sure there's cheaper options | 06:57 |
| DusXMT | Is the alternative installer d-i configured for ubuntu? (I'm not sure if it's that, or something else) | 06:57 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: It certainly used to be | 06:58 |
| blahdeblah1 | chrstphrchvz: I just checked again, and there's definitely no alternate ISO image any more | 06:58 |
| blahdeblah1 | Is it a kernel option on boot? | 06:58 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, meganerd, Sorry, I'm not understanding the need for private dns… | 06:58 |
| meganerd | vychune: then you get to deal with port forwarding and NAT. Fortunately UDP and TCP usually work, so that your webserver and bind should work. | 06:58 |
| vychune | he has dnsalias | 06:58 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: THen how about using the mini.iso? If you go into expert mode, you can select what distribution you want to install, and it downloads everything from the internet | 06:58 |
| DusXMT | And it has the alternative installer | 06:59 |
| chrstphrchvz | (I am using mini.iso in fact) | 06:59 |
| blahdeblah1 | Where is that? It doesn't show up in the releases download. | 06:59 |
| blahdeblah1 | e.g. My local mirror is http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/ | 06:59 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 07:00 |
| meganerd | vychune: the second problem to solve is that the IP address that your domains point to will change, and you will have to figure out a way to update that. While all of this is doable, a single cheap VPS will pretty much eliminate these headaches. | 07:00 |
| vychune | the only problem i'm having now is doing example.com/blah/blogblah, instead of example.com and thats all that's seen | 07:00 |
| vychune | meganerd, yea i know lol | 07:00 |
| DusXMT | blahdeblah1: And as it turns out, they even have a version for 14.04, so if you use that, you don't need to go into expert mode | 07:00 |
| riobe | chrstphrchvz, that fixed it | 07:00 |
| blahdeblah1 | DusXMT: I might give that a crack | 07:01 |
| meganerd | DusXMT: I have the mini.iso in my PXE environment at home, I was not going to do that over my cellular link. | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | vychune: then you should head over to the apache channel or something for help with that | 07:01 |
| vychune | Ben64, it's because of DNS masking | 07:01 |
| meganerd | vychune: that exact case is covered in the documentation. Apache actually has pretty thorough documentation :) | 07:02 |
| vychune | really? | 07:02 |
| * vychune gets a head smack | 07:03 | |
| vychune | Doh | 07:03 |
| meganerd | vychune: I would start by ignoring the dynamic problem. Set up a DNS server and apache, port forward through the router, and use the public IP of the router. | 07:03 |
| meganerd | vychune: once you get all of that working you can worry about solving the dynamic IP problem. | 07:03 |
| vychune | ok | 07:03 |
| meganerd | vychune: who did you use as a registrar? | 07:04 |
| vychune | they are using GoDaddy | 07:04 |
| meganerd | vychune: it might be worth checking to see if their godaddy account already has DNS serving, it probably does. | 07:05 |
| meganerd | vychune: while I am a huge fan of running my own DNS, you can tackle that later if need be. | 07:05 |
| vychune | ok then | 07:06 |
| vychune | can you pointme to a tutorial or something? | 07:07 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, something else to consider/be aware of: http://saschpe.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/godaddy-dyndns-for-the-poor/ | 07:07 |
| vychune | meganerd, i'm all turned around on what to do now lol | 07:07 |
| meganerd | chrstphrchvz: I use CNAMEs with my dyndns all the time, however this is probably not where he should start. | 07:09 |
| meganerd | vychune: do you have access to the godaddy control panel for this domain? | 07:09 |
| vychune | nope meganerd | 07:10 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:10 |
| meganerd | vychune: so I would ignore bind and dns for the moment. Use a hosts entry in your local machine to point the hostname to the IP of their router. Get apache working. | 07:11 |
| meganerd | vychune: that will keep you busy for a while. I have not used godaddy, but I seem to remember them bundling DNS by default. You will need to add (or have someone add) "A" or host records that point to their router, probably named www. | 07:12 |
| meganerd | vychune: once all of that is working, you can figure out dynamic dns, or just log in to godaddy an update the IP every time it changes. | 07:13 |
| vychune | meganerd, ok let me make sure we are on the same page | 07:16 |
| vychune | the server is accessible outside, but not by domain outside port 80. You want me to point the domain to the router IP Addr of the router, right? | 07:18 |
| meganerd | vychune: exactly. so www.whatver.tld should resolve to their router's external IP | 07:19 |
| jkbbwr | Okay I have a brand new fresh install of stock ubuntu | 07:19 |
| jkbbwr | I want to achieve 2 things | 07:19 |
| jkbbwr | 1 nvidia drivers, 2 gnome3 | 07:19 |
| Ben64 | !nvidia | jkbbwr | 07:19 |
| ubottu | jkbbwr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 07:19 |
| meganerd | vychune: for testing, you can create an entry in your /etc/hosts file that does the same thing. Don't forget to remove it! | 07:19 |
| jkbbwr | Last time I tried the nvidia drivers, everything screwed up | 07:20 |
| vychune | but what about the second domain? | 07:20 |
| meganerd | vychune: same thing | 07:20 |
| Beldar | jkbbwr, gnome 3 is already there, do you want the shell? | 07:20 |
| meganerd | vychune: then configure apache for vhosts | 07:20 |
| vychune | Okay | 07:20 |
| jkbbwr | Beldar: I dont want unity, ever | 07:21 |
| jkbbwr | Beldar: but Im more interested in nvidia getting sorted | 07:22 |
| Ben64 | jkbbwr: then give more information, like what video card, system setup, etc. what happened last time you tried installing nvidia | 07:22 |
| jkbbwr | okay so I tried through the gui addictional drivers, and I tried installing nvidia-current | 07:23 |
| jkbbwr | both of them caused booting to black screen | 07:23 |
| vychune | meganerd, Ben64 , chrstphrchvz THANKS!!!!!!! | 07:24 |
| meganerd | vychune: your welcome | 07:24 |
| meganerd | vychune: half the fight is just breaking everything down into bite sizes. | 07:24 |
| vychune | meganerd, yeplol | 07:25 |
| chrstphrchvz | vychune, you're welcome. Keep digging, you're not the first person to come across this. I imagine this is the first time you've had to do something like this? | 07:25 |
| vychune | chrstphrchvz, yep | 07:26 |
| chrstphrchvz | (it's not a task I am prepared to have someone pay me to do myself (yet)) | 07:26 |
| vychune | without the dyndns i would be done lol. | 07:27 |
| jkbbwr | Beldar: not sure what to try next | 07:29 |
| chrstphrchvz | jkbbwr, I missed the beginning of the discussion, could also tell us the card model? | 07:31 |
| jkbbwr | GTX 670M | 07:31 |
| Beldar | jkbbwr, graphics are not my area however you need to identify the hardware, run lspci and find it ans include it with more details you have not to the channel. | 07:32 |
| jkbbwr | IDk anything about it | 07:32 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: that sounds like an Optimus device | 07:33 |
| jkbbwr | VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M] | 07:33 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: in your laptop's bios/uefi interface, you might want to try setting the video card to discreet only first. | 07:33 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: there are no video card options in my bios / uefi | 07:34 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: what laptop is this? | 07:35 |
| chrstphrchvz | jkbbwr, what is your laptop model? | 07:35 |
| jkbbwr | Its an alienware M14xR2 | 07:35 |
| Tajger | Hello. It's sad that in regular Ubuntu there is no prepared application for IRC channel (like it is in Ubuntu Studio. | 07:37 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: the 650M is an Nvidia Optimus chipset. | 07:37 |
| jkbbwr | What does that mean ^^ | 07:37 |
| bekks | That you cant simply use nvidia drivers. | 07:38 |
| jkbbwr | hmm | 07:38 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics | 07:38 |
| jkbbwr | See now I think I tried installing -331 | 07:39 |
| jkbbwr | but I still got dem black screen | 07:39 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: Thats what I just told you. You cant simply use nvidia drivers. | 07:39 |
| jkbbwr | then these instructions are useless? | 07:40 |
| chrstphrchvz | jkbbwr, have you come across Bumblebee? | 07:40 |
| jkbbwr | I heard someone talking about it | 07:40 |
| jkbbwr | Ill try instlaling that | 07:42 |
| jkbbwr | see what happens | 07:42 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: primus is what you want | 07:42 |
| jkbbwr | arch so many confusing instructions | 07:43 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: bumblebee is old | 07:43 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: yup, I have an optimus device in my laptop, major PITA. Been wrestling with it for a year and a half. | 07:43 |
| jkbbwr | okay so *not bumblebee* | 07:44 |
| function9 | jkbbwr: for optimum performance, you'd need to have a custom kernel | 07:44 |
| jkbbwr | oh god... | 07:44 |
| Tajger | I'm known between my homies as a "computer guy", so when someone wants an OS to be reinstalled, I say about Linux specified for that person (Lubuntu for cheap netbooks etc.). That works. | 07:44 |
| function9 | yeah tell me about | 07:45 |
| jkbbwr | oh hell... | 07:45 |
| function9 | jkbbwr: that's what it says in the nvidia site | 07:45 |
| meganerd | function9: I believe the nvidia site just says "go f*&^% yourself Linux losers"... I may be paraphrasing :) | 07:45 |
| function9 | meganerd: yep :( | 07:46 |
| riobe | I have now twice in one night had my USB mouse just stop working. It is still lighting up, but all input from it is ignored and I bet it'll stop lighting up if I unplug it and plug it back in. It is a Razer Mamba and I'm on Ubuntu (14.04) with kubuntu-destop installed and KDE desktop active. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this, any ideas? | 07:46 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: so what do I install | 07:46 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: fortunately I have gone through most of this hell, the package you need is called simply primus | 07:46 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: Did you read the link I gave you? | 07:46 |
| jkbbwr | bekks: yes but you said they didnt work | 07:47 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: though in my case I just turned off the nvidia chip in the BIOS/UEFI interface | 07:47 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: Wrong. | 07:47 |
| function9 | jkbbwr: I'm going to practice first on virtualbox, and get my kernel hacking skills up to speed, once I am very confident, I will proceed with the real deal | 07:47 |
| riobe | I'd rather not have to restart multiple times a night to get my USB devices back. | 07:47 |
| chrstphrchvz | function9, jkbbwr : the only kernel-related issue i've come across is incompatibility with newer kernels | 07:47 |
| jkbbwr | bekks: you said, "you can't use nvidida drivers" | 07:47 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: I told you you cant simply install the nvidia drivers. And the link given told you what to do. | 07:47 |
| function9 | chrstphrchvz: hence the virtualbox test | 07:47 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: So you havent read it. | 07:48 |
| svetlana | ? | 07:49 |
| svetlana | bekks: hi. | 07:50 |
| svetlana | bekks: you said "I have already told you this" at least a couple times. please also suggest the folk what to do in a couple words; I'm sure it'll be helpful. | 07:51 |
| riobe | Running "modprobe -c | grep mouse" shows a line that says "blacklist usbmouse" Could that be what is causing my mouse to randomly stop working? | 07:51 |
| riobe | Not sure what modprobe is yet, but I found this relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/453689/mouse-not-working-after-installing-14-04-lts-64bit | 07:51 |
| v1ros | lol | 07:51 |
| svetlana | riobe: hi. please add "-C 4" to see context of the grep results. | 07:51 |
| svetlana | riobe: modprobe -c | grep -C 4 mouse | 07:52 |
| bekks | svetlana: I'll do next time. | 07:52 |
| svetlana | bekks: did he already quit? jkbbwr is still here, you can go ahead and do it :) | 07:52 |
| svetlana | (thankfully :) | 07:52 |
| riobe | svetlana: I did not know I could do that. That's awesome, thanks! Context in this case is a bunch of other blacklists commands. There is an "alias usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic03isc01ip02in* usbmouse" line later in the file. | 07:53 |
| svetlana | riobe: modprobe shows you information about kernel modules. kernel is the non-gui thing that chats to yuor hardware. | 07:53 |
| riobe | svetlana, Oh, well that makes sense. Thanks! | 07:53 |
| svetlana | I see. you can put some more context to a pastebin if you like (I don't know what these aliases are a part /of/ and I suspect more context could be useful.) | 07:54 |
| bekks | jkbbwr: Did you install nvidia-prime already? | 07:54 |
| riobe | svetlana, Is there a way to pipe output to a clipboard? Otherwise I'll need to restart again as it's the only way I know to get my mouse back. | 07:54 |
| svetlana | riobe: you could use the pastebinit tool if you like. it's a package; you run your command and add a "|pastebinit" to the end. | 07:55 |
| riobe | That's awesome. I'll get a pastbin in a moment then. | 07:55 |
| riobe | svetlana, It's things like that which make me glad I switched to Linux, but man I can tell I'm still green. :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/7754641 | 07:57 |
| svetlana | I would probably just `modprobe -c | pastebinit`; the last portion is still greek to me. | 07:58 |
| v1ros | read the man pages | 07:59 |

| ena | Hello, I have a problem with relative links in LibreOffice on Xubuntu 14.04, they does not work. I've searched on the internet before but i didn't find anything that helps me. Could someone explain me how do they work ? | 08:02 |
| svetlana | riobe: this information doesn't look very descriptive to me. could you please describe the issue you've having in a bit more detail (when does the mouse disappear, is it randomly or not, did it work before, what mouse model) | 08:03 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: all that did was give me the synaptic package manager | 08:04 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | why is everyone still using uboatu when you could be using a more bleeding edge distribution with less bloat and more performance, like arch? ubuntu is confirmed for having many spying features in it. | 08:05 |
| Arch-Linux-User | Arch Linux is the best linux | 08:05 |
| Arch-Linux-User | SO MUCH BLOAT | 08:05 |
| Arch-Linux-User | OH MAN | 08:05 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: hi. what did? | 08:05 |
| jkbbwr | svetlana: asked me to install syntaptic | 08:05 |
| Arch-Linux-User | Dude like ubuntu is like so bad like so slow and bloated more like ubloatu | 08:05 |
| svetlana | Arch-Linux-User: your "spying" information is out of date. please do not get in the way of me helping people. thanks. | 08:06 |
| Ben64 | Arch-Linux-User, ArchLinux4Lyfe: this is not the correct area for this | 08:06 |
| v1ros | LOL nothing wron with Ububtu <Arch-Linux-User | 08:06 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | compiz is very slow and a major piece of bloatware, it crashes about 3 times a day | 08:06 |
| svetlana | Ben64: thank you. | 08:06 |
| svetlana | ArchLinux4Lyfe: last word, please go to #archlinux with this. | 08:06 |
| riobe | svetlana, Sorry, not sure what to provide since I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this one. In both cases it went dead I was trying to click a link in google-chrome. Not sure if that is a reason, but I have no other pattern yet. It's a Razer Mamba mouse that I have wired into a Corsair keyboard which forwards it to a USB port on my PC. Taking it out of that and putting it into the PC directly makes no difference. Once it goes, unplugging and | 08:06 |
| riobe | replugging does nothing. | 08:06 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: what did ask you to install synaptic? I thought someone here asked you to install a package. you can do so in the software centre. | 08:06 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | v1ros, you don't know a good linux distribution if you saw one. go use arch for 5 minutes and you'll see how good it feels to configure everything manually and have your pacman break every xorg updat | 08:07 |
| jkbbwr | svetlana: what package | 08:07 |
| svetlana | ArchLinux4Lyfe: in retrospect, I don't care of the defaults. I don't like any distro; I do like some software on them though. the distros are not that much different. | 08:07 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: one minute. | 08:07 |
| riobe | My mouse cursor still floats on the screen, but I can't get the mouse to activate again to move it. Unfortunately I have no other mouse to test on. | 08:07 |
| v1ros | <ArchLinux4Lyfe> It all depends on what distro you like I've tried just about all the distros and I keep comming back to either debian or debian based distros its just what i prefer | 08:08 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | actually, they are. different distro maintainers patch their binaries like the debian/ubuntu branch does | 08:08 |
| Arch-Linux-User | If you enjoy ubuntu its like you're a casual gamer, while im playing darksouls you're playing super mario kart | 08:08 |
| Ben64 | ArchLinux4Lyfe: nobody cares, get out of here with your offtopic nonsense | 08:08 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: <bekks> jkbbwr: Did you install nvidia-prime already? | 08:08 |
| svetlana | <bekks> jkbbwr: Did you install nvidia-prime already? | 08:08 |
| svetlana | sorry, mis-pasted twice. | 08:08 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | the topic in this channel is ubuntu, and I'm talking about just that | 08:08 |
| svetlana | meganerd: you don't need to ask people to install synaptic. | 08:08 |
| v1ros | lol | 08:08 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: sorry, that was a typo, I am going to have to dig up the laptop and figure out the package name | 08:08 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | how big of a steaming heap of monkey excrement it is. | 08:09 |
| Ben64 | ArchLinux4Lyfe: it's ubuntu support, and you're just ranting and being generally dumb | 08:09 |
| svetlana | ArchLinux4Lyfe: you're providing invalid information, please don't do that. | 08:09 |
| jkbbwr | synaptics | 08:09 |
| v1ros | <ArchLinux4Lyfe> you need to chill its just a linux distro | 08:09 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | ben64, I am supporting people by telling them how bad noobuntu is. | 08:09 |
| meganerd | svetlana: it was not the package I was thinking of. | 08:09 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: you don't need synaptic. you need nvidia-prime. go ahead and "sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime" and bekks would be with you then. | 08:09 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | svetlana, I'm not providing any invalid information | 08:10 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: there is no need to make this more complicated. | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | ArchLinux4Lyfe: well stop it. i'm telling you now it is offtopic | 08:10 |
| svetlana | ArchLinux4Lyfe: I'll be with you in a minute. | 08:10 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | compiz is infact the biggest piece of crap on this whole planet | 08:10 |
| jkbbwr | svetlana: I have done that. pay attention | 08:10 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: you have primus and nvidia-prime installed? Just waiting on the laptop to boot | 08:11 |
| Arch-Linux-User | With ubuntu you would never feel that feel when -pacman | 08:11 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: yea the whole graphics card issue seems 1000% resolved | 08:11 |
| Arch-Linux-User | Seriously noobuntu is for people who hate computing in general its so worthless. | 08:12 |
| v1ros | lol | 08:12 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | noobuntu us like windows, it just works. | 08:13 |
| v1ros | <ArchLinux4Lyfe> Why are you so upset? | 08:13 |
| Ben64 | everyone, just ignore the troll, they die without being fed | 08:13 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | v1ros why you heff to be med? | 08:13 |
| Arch-Linux-User | Why are you useing a distro that would be considered as a free windows clone just run windows. | 08:13 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: I don't have an InputDevices in my xorg.conf | 08:13 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: You shouldn't even need that file (except for the primus related stuff in the primus/bumblebee dir | 08:14 |
| ArchLinux4Lyfe | I feel windows is actually more stable than ubuntu due to the fact that unity and compiz resemble a steaming heap of monkey crap | 08:15 |
| riobe | Are there any common reasons that a usb mouse would seem to power down and not be turned back on when unplugging and replugging it in? I've had it happen twice now and I'm not sure how to figure out what could cause it? Are there any commands I could run that might lead me to what is wrong? | 08:16 |
| svetlana | ArchLinux4Lyfe: did you hear what i told you? please don't rage. there are oher nice things in the repos. you should chat to me in the other tab. | 08:16 |

| mndhck | 14.04 was working fine, till it restarted by itself today while I was using it for the first time. On boot, only a very low resolution was detected and networking disabled. This seemed like safe mode on windows, but none of the other kernels worked either. I'm flying today, so could someone help? Googling didn't turn up anything relevant. | 08:23 |
| svetlana | I would look in dmesg for more details. | 08:23 |
| jkbbwr | Rebooting fixed the mouse issue | 08:23 |
| jkbbwr | wtf | 08:23 |
| riobe | svetlana, Sorry to overload you. ^.^; I did that advice with both usbmouse and psmouse. The mouse doesn't turn on after running either. In both cases that I've had this it has worked for more than an hour of playing with vim, chrome, watching videos, xchat, and so on. I really wish I could see the pattern better. | 08:23 |
| svetlana | jkbbwr: I see. | 08:23 |
| riobe | jkbbwr, Was your mouse issue that it went dead? | 08:24 |
| jkbbwr | riobe: yea | 08:24 |
| riobe | jkbbwr, I have that too, and about an hour and a half after rebooting making it working it happened again. | 08:24 |
| jkbbwr | now to spend the next hour installing my dev environment | 08:24 |
| riobe | I don't want to reboot every couple hours. ;-; | 08:24 |
| jkbbwr | riobe: heh | 08:24 |
| jkbbwr | riobe: i think we have different issues | 08:24 |
| meganerd | jkbbwr: my laptop has kde, but checking unchecking the touchpad works (the IBM eraser head still works for me when the touchpad goes dark) | 08:24 |
| riobe | jkbbwr, I'm a newb here, so I'll take your word on it. :) | 08:25 |
| riobe | svetlana, I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I installed with Ubunto 14.04, then installed kbuntu-desktop and restarted into the KDE desktop. | 08:25 |
| jkbbwr | meganerd: hold on just installing gnome3 | 08:26 |
| mndhck | svetlana: OK, I had left the laptop alone as it was burning (which is probably what caused it to spontaneously restart). | 08:26 |
| v1ros | <mndhck> you look in your log files and see what is causing the error? | 08:26 |
| Arch-Linux-User | Like Ubuntu is that fat asian kid and Arch-Linux is the perfect aryan specimen | 08:26 |
| === Guest21266 is now known as morpheus | ||
| riobe | I'd like to not restart to fix the problem. My mouse is dead now, so if I can find a fix I'll have an immediate test by seeing if I can get my mouse going again. | 08:27 |
| === morpheus is now known as Guest22123 | ||
| svetlana | riobe: dinner time here; will look at it later (i would start with web search on mouse model and ubuntu version name, needs attention) | 08:28 |
| riobe | svetlana, Thanks again for helping. :) Enjoy your dinner. | 08:29 |
| mndhck | svetlana: Could you point me in the right direction? All that ses significant to me in dmesg is a lot of mesaages abput reservong or being unable to reserve memory. | 08:30 |
| meganerd | riobe: is your mouse listed with a lsusb? | 08:31 |
| riobe | meganerd, Is lsusb supposed to run quickly? It seems to be hanging the terminal. I'm thinking that's relevant. | 08:32 |
| meganerd | riobe: runs instantly for me | 08:32 |
| meganerd | riobe: what about "lsmod |grep usb | 08:33 |
| riobe | meganerd, I didn't know that was a command either. Very useful. I guess I can go search for why it would fail to run as another lead. | 08:33 |
| meganerd | riobe: at a guess I would say that something bad happened on your usb bus and has been disabled | 08:33 |
| riobe | meganerd, That gives output. I see a usbmouse entry on there. | 08:34 |
| riobe | The terminal I ran lsusb in won't even respond to a Ctrl+C. That tanked it. | 08:34 |
| meganerd | riobe: you can try to "sudo rmmod usbmouse" and "sudo rmmod usbhid" | 08:34 |
| meganerd | riobe: what other usb devices do you have plugged in? | 08:34 |
| meganerd | riobe: this might not be a mouse issue | 08:35 |
| mndhck | (mndhck) 14.04 was working fine, till it restarted by itself today while I was using it for the first time. On boot, only a very low resolution was detected and networking disabled. This seemed like safe mode on windows, but none of the other kernels worked either. I'm flying today, so could someone help? Googling didn't turn up anything relevant. | 08:35 |
| mndhck | Does someone know what's happening? | 08:36 |
| meganerd | riobe: not being able to reserve memory is also bad. | 08:36 |
| riobe | meganerd, Just had my USB keyboard die and had to plug in a PS2 one, which lends more credibility to it just being USB issue. | 08:36 |
| meganerd | riobe: you may need to reboot. | 08:36 |
| riobe | meganerd, The sudo rmmod usbhit hung too | 08:37 |
| meganerd | riobe: what other usb devices do you have? | 08:37 |
| meganerd | mndhck: problem description is too generic to say. What laptop is this (make and model) | 08:37 |
| riobe | meganerd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7754741/ | 08:37 |
| riobe | That's the output of lsmod | grep usb | 08:38 |
| meganerd | riobe: I figured. What sound card is that? | 08:38 |
| riobe | meganerd, Something integrated into the motherboard. | 08:38 |
| yodawgplz | is distrowatch.com down for anyone else? | 08:39 |
| meganerd | riobe: that would be the hda_intel, I am talking about the usb one | 08:39 |
| ytw | down for me | 08:39 |
| ytw | yodawgplz ^ | 08:39 |
| riobe | meganerd, I'm not sure. Is this showing hardware things? If so, then perhaps the speakers I have, but they're plugged in through the headphone-like jack (Pardon my ignorance as to what it's actually called). Perhaps it's my webcam, which has a microphone? Otherwise I have nothing else that should deal with audio plugged in via USB. | 08:40 |
| meganerd | riobe: I would unplug every usb device except your keyboard and mouse, then power down (shutdown -h now) before booting up. | 08:41 |
| mndhck | I was using a LiveUSB, and *that* shut down spontaneously too. Heat issues? | 08:42 |
| riobe | meganerd, Thanks for helping me figure this out. Very very appreciated. Figuring out it is a USB problem is already success. Ok, I'll give that a try. Be back afterwards. | 08:42 |
| mndhck | Even if it is the heat, cam the installed be saved? | 08:42 |
| v1ros | <mndhck> look at your error logs | 08:42 |
| mndhck | v1ros: dmesg? | 08:42 |
| byte | moin | 08:42 |
| mndhck | Aah, now the BiOS is stuck | 08:43 |
| * mndhck gives up for today | 08:43 | |
| v1ros | <mndhck> sounds like a cpu issue but iam not for shure what it could be if i was you i would start looking at my error logs | 08:44 |
| mndhck | v1ros: Not booting right now, and I'm flying in some hours; so I'll check tomorrow. Thanks, though! | 08:46 |
| Riobe | meganerd, Well USB seems to be working again. But I have no idea how long it will work. Thanks for helping me get further. | 08:48 |
| meganerd | Riobe: I gotta get some sleep, but if it happens again, have a peek immediately at dmesg | 08:49 |
| Riobe | meganerd, Thanks for the tip. Sleep well. :) | 08:49 |
| svetlana | i have xubuntu-desktop and i installed the gnome-shell package. how do i add it to the login screen menu now? | 08:54 |
| svetlana | it did not do that automatically. | 08:54 |
| svetlana | Riobe: i see. | 08:54 |
| Riobe | svetlana, Welcome back. I'm up again after a reboot (in which I found another issue where I have to hard reset to get it to shut down) for some indeterminate amount of time. I have a console with "tail -f /var/log/{messages,kernel,dmesg,syslog}" in it so I can hopefully see what happened when my USB dies again. | 08:56 |
| svetlana | i see, nice | 08:56 |
| lnoskhen | Hello :) | 08:57 |
| lnoskhen | I installed Nvidia Driver with manual installation. Do I need to rebuild the driver every time I update my kernel to the new version? or is there any way aside from rebuilding the driver? | 08:57 |
| lnoskhen | Thanks | 08:57 |
| Riobe | svetlana, So this doesn't happen for you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64241/how-do-i-switch-to-xubuntu | 08:58 |
| Riobe | ? | 08:58 |
| svetlana | i did install ubuntu about 3 years ago and switched to xubuntu ~2 years ago; now i am tryin to install gnome-shell again (since i uninstalled it during the time i was using xubuntu) | 08:59 |
| svetlana | so no, this scenario of using unity and then installing xubuntu didn't happen to me | 08:59 |
| Riobe | I want to be able to offer you some help back, but my google-fu for that issue is proving to be useless. Hopefully someone else knows. | 09:02 |

| Riobe | sbaitso, http://keramida.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/controlling-the-keyboard-backlight-from-cli/ Is this helpful? | 09:13 |
| lnoskhen | I installed Nvidia Driver with manual installation. Do I need to rebuild the driver every time I update my kernel to the new version? or is there any way aside from rebuilding the driver? Thanks :) | 09:14 |
| oscar- | hi all, is anyone aware of reported problems introduced with linux-image-generic 3.13.0-30.55 (while .54 works)? | 09:14 |
| ytw | sbaitso, you can echo value to a file under /sys/class/backlight depends on your hardware | 09:15 |
| svetlana | lnoskhen: look for it in the repos. if it's not there, you have to rebuild i believe | 09:16 |
| Riobe | lnoskhen, I used dkms when I was playing with CentOS to ensure I wouldn't have to reinstall the Nvidia driver every kernel update. (and had directions to walk me through it. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/main/base/dkms | 09:16 |
| ytw | lnoskhen, Install akmod instead | 09:16 |

| Riobe | I'm not 100% it works the same in ubuntu though. | 09:16 |

| Leeuwenhok | Hello | 10:01 |
| Leeuwenhok | I was using Ubuntu 13.10 a month ago and then I had to reinstall Windows (dual-boot). Now the option to boot to Ubuntu is gone. How do I recover that partition? I've made a Ubuntu 14.04 LiveUSB. | 10:02 |
| Darkwell | I upgraded a laptop that is not really fast but still works ok, did tweak a bit before such as removing/disabling the auto update tool(s) after the uopgrade into 14.04 software updater is back and slugging down the experience etc, how can I get rid of this so the machine still can operate smootly ?= | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkwell: which release did you upgrade from? | 10:12 |
| japan | hello | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Hi japan | 10:13 |
| japan | I from ukraine, and your? | 10:15 |
| Darkwell | the lts version before 14.04 | 10:21 |
| Darkwell | changed the swappiness and reloaded the sysctl rules | 10:21 |
| Darkwell | tht helped a bit in increasing the response time | 10:22 |
| SoSueMe | Is there any good channel about OS X dev.? :) | 10:25 |
| fake | anyone can help me? | 10:25 |
| Darkwell | so software updater has always been a prob and i dont recall how i got rid of it before and now after the upgrade its back.... | 10:25 |
| fake | what best C++ ide in linux? eclipse or monodevelop | 10:26 |
| Darkwell | fake, it depends on who you are what you prefewr to do and stuff like that... | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | SoSueMe: try #apple or #macos | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: there is no single best | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: if there was an outright best, nobody would use the others | 10:27 |
| Darkwell | fake, same as asking which is best : blue or yellow ? =) | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fake: and they would die off as nobody would use them. | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: its like "what is the best browser?" its nonesense and everyone has a different opinion | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: its a ludicrous question | 10:28 |
| cfhowlett | fake the best is the one you like - choose | 10:29 |
| SoSueMe | fake: Qt Creator | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: you are using an OS that champions choice and freedom | 10:29 |

| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok you need to reinstall grub | 10:30 |
| fake | im using monodevelop now | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkwell: so the only issue is with software centre? Is the rest of the OS responsive? | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok and you should not need to "recover the partition" - only reset grub so it'll find all the OS on your system | 10:31 |
| fake | but i cant use the "ShellExecute" to open folder path (im newbie in C++) anyone can help me | 10:31 |
| Leeuwenhok | I'll try that. Thanks, guys. | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: is monodevelop working for you? Is it ok and suits your needs? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Leeuwenhok: you may want to take this as an opportunity to reinstall with the Trusty. Saucy has about 2 weeks left of support | 10:32 |
| n1md4 | hi. could anyone recommend a good daap server? | 10:33 |
| fake | earlier im using VS2013 and im using Shellexecute to open website or files but in monodevelop i cant use that | 10:33 |

| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok yes 14.04 is the one you want for Long Term Support | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Leeuwenhok: yes. Ubuntu 14.04 is codenamed 'Trusty'. It is supported til April 2019 | 10:35 |
| fake | ActionParsnip: can you help me? how to include objbase.h in monodevelop ide....or anyway to use ShellExecute? | 10:36 |
| Leeuwenhok | I have 13.10 installed and I have a liveUSB which contains 14.04. After fixing the GRUB, how do I update Ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok DON'T fix grub. boot the 14.04 usb and install it. grub will be fixed as part of this process. | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok that is to say, boot the usb and install 14.04 | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Fake: i dont code, try a developer chanmel. Threre is probably one here on Freenode | 10:37 |
| Leeuwenhok | But I want to keep my previous files/apps. | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Leeuwenhok: you will need to reinstall apps. You can restore user data from your backups | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok move your /home to a dedicated partition. when you install 14.04 DO NOT format that partition. | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | !home | 10:38 |
| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 10:38 |
| Leeuwenhok | Wouldn't it be easier to boot into 13.10 and let it update itself? | 10:38 |
| Leeuwenhok | There must be an automatic install option. I saw it when I last used 13.10. | 10:39 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok you mean download 14.04 again? well, you could do that ... | 10:39 |
| Leeuwenhok | It wouldn't cause me trouble as I'd put it to download/install when I go to sleep. :p | 10:40 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok unattended upgrade? you're braver than I am, but sure, that would work. I guess. | 10:40 |
| Leeuwenhok | Why? Are there risks? | 10:41 |
| daswort | hi, is there already a bug report for a crash of unity_support_test that stops/crashed the installation? My launchpad search foo is not very good. :( | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok there are always risks. unattended means you would not be there to respond to system messages | 10:41 |
| Leeuwenhok | That's true. | 10:42 |
| Leeuwenhok | Then I'll just attend to it. 800 MB file would take about 2 hours to download. | 10:43 |

| Mithrildar | cfhlowlett, I googled for those virusnames | 10:53 |

| cfhowlett | Mithrildar clamav, like all virus scanners, has been known to report false positives http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/applications/200817-clamav-false-positives.html | 10:56 |
| Mithrildar | But it didn't find them yesterday and it found similar viruses in the firefox cache | 10:56 |
| Leeuwenhok | I don't get it. I think I made it clear I want to keep my files and apps. | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | Leeuwenhok fine. reinstall grub. do the online upgrade. | 10:57 |
| Ben64 | Mithrildar: upload the files to virustotal and see how many report it as a virus | 10:57 |
| Leeuwenhok | Good enough. :0 | 10:57 |
| Leeuwenhok | * :) | 10:57 |
| Mithrildar | Hmm all removed it, probably not the best idea | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | Mithrildar: yep probably not | 10:58 |
| Mithrildar | Still | 10:59 |
| Mithrildar | it wouldn't make sense that it suddenly found something in the /boot/efi folder right? | 10:59 |
| Ben64 | who knows, you deleted it before knowing what it does and if it was good or bad | 10:59 |
| Ben64 | see if you can boot | 10:59 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar similar query yesterday - adobe placed a file in the /boot that the virus scan falsely reported as malware. it was not. | 11:00 |
| histo | cfhowlett: why would adobe put something in /boot | 11:00 |
| Mithrildar | It was in Shim.efi and MokManager.efi though, not the place for legitimate stuff right? | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | histo it was connected to one of the online services - don't remember the details. the file itself proved persistent and recreated even after deletion. thus the "malware" definition | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | Mithrildar: you probably deleted stuff you need to boot, you should not have done that. do more research before taking a sledgehammer to things | 11:03 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah | 11:03 |
| Mithrildar | guilty Windows user here | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar that would do it. | 11:04 |
| histo | Mithrildar: Is this a cloud machine you are scanning? | 11:06 |
| histo | Mithrildar: and what is left in /boot/efi ? | 11:06 |
| Behi | what is 14.04's out of the box system process management daemon? | 11:07 |
| Mithrildar | Well this is pretty weird | 11:08 |
| trijntje | Behi: service | 11:08 |
| Mithrildar | on my computer ClamTK detects a file as a virus, but when scanning it with VirusTotal, ClamAV doesnt detect it | 11:08 |
| Behi | trijntje is supervisor an alternative to service, systemd, upstart, etc? | 11:08 |
| trijntje | Behi: I dont know about supervisor, but ubuntu should uses systemd by default as far as I know | 11:09 |
| trijntje | !systemd | 11:09 |
| ubottu | systemd has been chosen as the future init system for Ubuntu, please see http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 for the announcement. | 11:09 |
| histo | Behi: upstart | 11:09 |
| trijntje | !upstart | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 11:10 |
| * trijntje is confused, you should probably ask someone who knows more about it Behi | 11:10 | |
| Mithrildar | So it seems like VirusTotal is okay with those files, so I have some questions: | 11:12 |
| Mithrildar | I deleted something in my /boot folder (shimx64.efi and MokManager.efi), I shouldn't have done that what should I do? Should I use Boot-Repair? | 11:12 |
| histo | Mithrildar: How many OS's where on this box? | 11:13 |
| Mithrildar | Windows 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 | 11:13 |
| histo | Mithrildar: what's left in /boot/efi | 11:14 |
| Mithrildar | in the Ubuntu folder grubx64.efi | 11:15 |
| Mithrildar | and in the /boot/efi/EFI/Boot there is bootx64.efi | 11:16 |
| Mithrildar | So what should I do in the future? Should I only use ClamTK to scan my home folder and use antimalwarebytes on my Windows installation to keep Windows clean? | 11:18 |
| histo | Mithrildar: You should be good. No idea what the other files where. | 11:18 |
| histo | Mithrildar: their hash values matched that of a virus. | 11:18 |
| histo | I highly doubt their were two hash collisions in the same location with two different files for two different viruses | 11:19 |
| Mithrildar | Is that a bad thing or just a false positive? | 11:19 |
| histo | I think they were probably viruses. Most likely from windows. Since your user doesn't even have access to /boot/efi | 11:20 |
| histo | !av | Mithrildar | 11:20 |
| ubottu | Mithrildar: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 11:20 |
| Mithrildar | I haven't logged into Windows since my last scan though | 11:20 |
| histo | Should be when files are passed from windows | 11:20 |
| Mithrildar | So I doubt it's Windows | 11:20 |
| histo | Mithrildar: have you tried to boot in windows and ubuntu yet? | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar all the above said, it should impact your ubuntu OS but files sent to windows users might be suspect | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | should NOT impact ... | 11:20 |
| trijntje | Mithrildar: in the future, just move a file instead of removing it. Then if something breaks you can simply copy it back | 11:21 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah I'll put stuff in the quarantine next time | 11:21 |
| Mithrildar | So am I safe to use my Windows or Ubuntu installation or should I look at reinstalling my PC? | 11:22 |
| histo | Mithrildar: There is no way they were from linux | 11:22 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar "reinstalling" is the default windows solution ... don't be that guy | 11:22 |
| Mithrildar | Well it would be weird if they were from Windows as I haven't booted Windows for a few days | 11:22 |
| * histo puts money on it. | 11:23 | |
| * cfhowlett doubles down | 11:23 | |
| histo | Mithrildar: try as your user ' touch /boot/efi/somefile.foo' what comes up? | 11:23 |
| Mithrildar | No access | 11:24 |
| Mithrildar | Or something like that in Dutch | 11:24 |
| histo | Mithrildar: K so how did the virus get put there? root is the only user that can write there. | 11:24 |
| Mithrildar | No clue, only installed stuff from official repos | 11:25 |
| * cfhowlett still suspects windows/adobe | 11:25 | |
| histo | Mithrildar: you found an md5 collision in two files in the same location for two different viruses. afaik md5 collisions were only found in a stupid chinese lab study that was way outside the realm of possibility | 11:27 |
| Ben64 | histo: incorrect, they were not viruses, and they were not matched based on hash | 11:27 |
| histo | s/possiblity/reality/ | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | !cookie|histo for the lulz! | 11:28 |
| ubottu | histo for the lulz!: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 11:28 |
| histo | Ben64: How did clamav identify them? | 11:28 |
| Mithrildar | So this is what found now in my Ubuntu partition: | 11:28 |
| Mithrildar | Crap | 11:28 |
| Mithrildar | wont let me paste | 11:28 |
| histo | !paste | Mithrildar | 11:28 |
| ubottu | Mithrildar: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | histo: the description said it all | 11:28 |
| Mithrildar | ./usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rdoc/generator/template/darkfish/js/thickbox-compressed.js PUA.Script.Packed-1, /usr/lib/shim/MokManager.efi.signed, PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7, /usr/lib/shim/shim.efi PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7, /usr/lib/shim/shim.efi.signed PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7 | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | "PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7" | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | and win32 is a WINDOWS attack | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | PUA = Potentially Unwanted Application, Win32 (obvious) Packer = executable packer | 11:29 |
| Guido1 | is there an option in xubuntu to set up the brightnes from the startup on? | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | it targets anything that is packed by a certain packer, or looks like it | 11:29 |
| histo | Ben64: How do you think clam is identifying those files? | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | it does not mean its a virus or anything at all | 11:29 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah I know it targets Windows | 11:29 |
| Mithrildar | but as I use Windows aswell | 11:30 |
| histo | Ben64: right. It still identifies them by hash | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | no... | 11:30 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar "POTENTIALLY" unwanted app. | 11:30 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| histo | It's finding based on the packer used | 11:31 |
| histo | silly warning message | 11:31 |
| Mithrildar | I'm reading that the PUA detection of ClamTK is pretty horrible | 11:31 |
| Mithrildar | should I turn that off? | 11:31 |
| Ben64 | which is why you should not just delete stuff without knowledge | 11:32 |
| histo | Mithrildar: I wouldn't even be running clam in linux, nor deleting warning files | 11:32 |
| histo | Mithrildar: did you have a windows recovery partition on this drive? | 11:32 |
| histo | https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq/blob/master/faq/faq-pua.md | 11:33 |
| Mithrildar | There is a partition with of 472MB with Windows recovery files yeah | 11:33 |
| Kartagis | can you recommend a fancy dock to replace cairo? | 11:33 |
| histo | Mithrildar: that's probably no longer bootable | 11:33 |
| cfhowlett | !dock|Kartagis | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Kartagis: Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 11:33 |
| Mithrildar | Okay no worries then, I got a Windows 8 disc | 11:33 |
| Mithrildar | Oh wow | 11:34 |
| Mithrildar | Thanks for that link histo | 11:35 |
| Mithrildar | So I should just ignore packers unless there is other fishy stuff going on? | 11:36 |
| histo | Mithrildar: but we won't know what you lost until you try booting both | 11:36 |
| histo | Mithrildar: how did you delete the files with clamav? | 11:38 |
| Mithrildar | I click the delete button :< | 11:38 |
| histo | Mithrildar: your /boot/efi is probably a fat partition right? remount it ro NOW and recover the files | 11:39 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah it's Fat32 according to GParted | 11:41 |
| Mithrildar | Lemme google how to do that | 11:41 |
| histo | Mithrildar: mount -o remount,ro /boot/efi | 11:41 |
| dumnut | hi, i want to install mythbuntu. i now run xubuntu. do i inastall mythbutun on top of xbuntu i have now? | 11:41 |
| dumnut | or do i erase xubuntu and install mythbuntu fresh? | 11:42 |
| cfhowlett | !mythbuntu | dumnut | 11:42 |
| ubottu | dumnut: Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information and #ubuntu-mythtv | 11:42 |
| Mithrildar | Should I do that in sudo? | 11:42 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yes | 11:42 |
| Mithrildar | so that's mount -o remount | 11:42 |
| Mithrildar | and | 11:42 |
| Mithrildar | ro /boot/efi right | 11:42 |
| Mithrildar | seperate commands? | 11:42 |
| histo | Mithrildar: no one command sudo mount -o remount,ro /boot/efi | 11:43 |
| Mithrildar | okay | 11:43 |
| histo | Mithrildar: sorry sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/of/your/boot/partition | 11:43 |
| dumnut | thank-you for info cfhowlett | 11:44 |
| cfhowlett | dumnut happy2help | 11:44 |
| histo | Mithrildar: lsblk will show you it's /dev/sdX# | 11:44 |
| Mithrildar | Is it /dev/sda1? That's what GParted says | 11:45 |
| dumnut | i still didn't read it clearly unless i am dense, if mythbuntu is a fresh install with zubuntu erased | 11:45 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yeah so sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda1 | 11:46 |
| cfhowlett | dumnut you will NOT erase *buntu as it is the basis of mythbuntu. for details go to the mythbuntu channel | 11:46 |
| Mithrildar | Did that | 11:46 |
| Mithrildar | should it produce output? Because it didnt | 11:46 |
| histo | Mithrildar: no output is no errors, type mount by itself should show you how it's moutned and what options currently | 11:47 |
| histo | Mithrildar: sudo apt-get install testdisk | 11:47 |
| dumnut | ahh, you've ansered my question: keep xubuntu and install mythbunutu on top of it. forgive my denseness cfhowlett | 11:47 |
| Mithrildar | Ok installed that histo | 11:48 |
| histo | sudo testdisk /dev/sda1 | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | Mithrildar: i'd make an image of the partition first, using "dd if=/dev/<whatever> of=/home/you/blah.img" | 11:48 |
| histo | Mithrildar: actually sudo testdisk and select /dev/sda1 | 11:48 |
| Mithrildar | Create a new log file? | 11:48 |
| histo | Mithrildar: sure | 11:48 |
| Mithrildar | Then the EFI GPT partition? | 11:49 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | Hi. I'm using gparted to resize an ext3 partition (make it smaller, end further to the left), but I'm surprised that it apparently copies *everything* and will take 15 hours | 11:49 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yeah in another terminal sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/home/username/backup.img bs=1M | 11:49 |
| Mithrildar | at the same time? | 11:49 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yeah that's fine | 11:49 |
| Mithrildar | Analyse it? | 11:49 |
| histo | Mithrildar: no you want advanced | 11:50 |
| billybigpotatoes | Hi there everyone | 11:50 |
| histo | Mithrildar: under advanced you can undelete files you highlight one and press c to copy it out. it will ask you where you want to save it. | 11:51 |
| billybigpotatoes | Can anyone give me some good advice on nvidia drivers in order to avoid xorg crash with sigbrt? | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett | dumnut happy2help | 11:51 |
| Mithrildar | Okay, so I go to advanced, then select EFI System | 11:52 |
| histo | k | 11:52 |
| Mithrildar | Then I'm asked where to store image.dd | 11:52 |
| Mithrildar | Documents is fine right? | 11:52 |
| Mithrildar | Or current folder | 11:52 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yeah Documents is fine. | 11:53 |
| Mithrildar | Image created succesfully | 11:53 |
| * histo fires up testdisk it's been awhile | 11:53 | |
| Mithrildar | Okay thanks man, I appreciate it | 11:53 |
| Mithrildar | So should I do that other command already? | 11:54 |
| Mithrildar | I guess it's not needed anymore as testdisk already made one | 11:54 |
| Mithrildar | There's nothing on this PC that I can lose anyhow | 11:54 |
| Mithrildar | its all on the cloud | 11:55 |
| histo | k | 11:55 |
| histo | If it created an image than no. | 11:55 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah there's an image.dd in my folder | 11:56 |
| repozitor | how can i use ssh as tunneling mode? | 11:57 |
| histo | Mithrildar: after you click advnaced use the arrow keys to go to the right to select Undelete on the bottom of the testdisk screne | 11:57 |
| repozitor | in putty i done it already, but don't know how to do it under the ubuntu | 11:57 |
| Mithrildar | There's only [Type] [Image Creation] and [Quit] in the Advanced window | 11:58 |
| histo | Mithrildar: quit | 11:58 |
| histo | Mithrildar: run testdisk on the image you created | 11:58 |
| Mithrildar | Okay | 11:59 |
| Mithrildar | so sudo testdisk image.dd? | 12:00 |
| histo | Mithrildar: if that's your image name use | 12:00 |
| histo | s/use/yes/ | 12:00 |
| SoSueMe | ahh, no people in #macos | 12:01 |
| Mithrildar | Okay | 12:01 |
| histo | Mithrildar: what are your options when it first opens? | 12:01 |
| Mithrildar | then I select the partition map to be EFI GPT? | 12:01 |
| histo | Mithrildar: select None for no partition map | 12:01 |
| Mithrildar | Okay | 12:01 |
| histo | Mithrildar: it's a filesystem it's not a partitioned drive | 12:01 |
| histo | Mithrildar: that was the problem | 12:02 |
| Mithrildar | Ah | 12:02 |
| Mithrildar | Should should I just run normal testdisk again | 12:02 |
| Mithrildar | and then select unpartitioned? | 12:02 |
| histo | Mithrildar: No we can get them from the image | 12:02 |
| Mithrildar | Okay | 12:03 |
| Mithrildar | So I go to advanced | 12:03 |
| Mithrildar | select undelete | 12:03 |
| Mithrildar | on P FAT32 | 12:03 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yes and select the red files by hitting : then press C like it says at the bottom to copy them out, it will ask you to confirm a destination and you press C again I believe to recover them. | 12:03 |
| Mithrildar | There are no red files | 12:04 |
| histo | Mithrildar: What files are there? | 12:04 |
| histo | Mithrildar: is there an efi directory? | 12:04 |
| Mithrildar | There's just drwxr-xr-x and -r-xr-xr-x | 12:04 |
| Mithrildar | EFI and BOOTSECT.BAK | 12:04 |
| histo | Mithrildar: press enter on EFI | 12:04 |
| histo | Mithrildar: use up and down arrows to select EFI then hit enter to go into that directory | 12:05 |
| histo | follow me? | 12:05 |
| Mithrildar | Yup | 12:06 |
| Mithrildar | Now I get the ubuntu, Microsoft and Boot folders | 12:06 |
| histo | Mithrildar: see your red/deleted files now? | 12:06 |
| noob | hello | 12:06 |
| noob | i am trying to generate an ssh tunnel for mysql using a keyfile but it uses a password instead | 12:07 |
| === noob is now known as Guest39634 | ||
| histo | Mithrildar: navigate those directories to find them. if you press enter on .. it will take you back a directory | 12:07 |
| Guest39634 | this is the guide i am following | 12:07 |
| Guest39634 | http://chxo.com/be2/20040511_5667.html | 12:07 |
| histo | Guest39634: does your key file have a password? | 12:07 |
| Guest39634 | no | 12:07 |
| Guest39634 | this is where it failes | 12:08 |
| Guest39634 | root@local# ssh -fNg -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 myuser@remotehost.com | 12:08 |
| Mithrildar | So I'm unable to find them, let me search in the ClamTK log file where they should have been | 12:08 |
| histo | Mithrildar: probably in the ubuntu directory or the microsoft one. | 12:08 |
| Guest39634 | it asks for a password instead of using the key file i just made for it | 12:08 |
| histo | Mithrildar: how big is the image.dd file? | 12:08 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah they should be there, but I'm only seeing grubx64.efi and grub.cfg | 12:09 |
| histo | Guest39634: you are logged in as root? did you create the key as a user or root? | 12:09 |
| Mithrildar | 536.9MB | 12:09 |
| Guest39634 | logged to client as root | 12:09 |
| Guest39634 | loged to server (containing db) as myuser | 12:10 |
| Guest39634 | (and also as root on another window) | 12:10 |
| histo | Mithrildar: if you deleted those files they are still there on fat assuming nothing else has been written to that filesystem. | 12:10 |
| histo | Guest39634: You aren't making anysense. How did you generate the key? | 12:10 |
| Mithrildar | I guess ClamAV fully deleted them then | 12:10 |
| histo | Mithrildar: doubtfull | 12:11 |
| histo | Mithrildar: did you find the files in your log? | 12:11 |
| Mithrildar | Yup /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi and /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/MokManager.efi | 12:11 |

| Mithrildar | Only seeing grubx64.efi | 12:13 |

| Mithrildar | image.dd is a bit bigger at 540MB | 12:15 |
| histo | Mithrildar: did you do anyting after you deleted the files with clam like install another system or try writing files to /boot/efi? | 12:15 |
| guest_______ | histo: i did it and it required a password | 12:15 |
| Mithrildar | no and not that I know off | 12:16 |

| Mithrildar | Yeah it found them now :) | 12:17 |
| Mithrildar | Two red files | 12:17 |
| histo | Mithrildar: Press : on each of them and then hit C to copy out multiple files select where you want to save them to temporarily | 12:18 |
| guest_______ | i am looking at the public key in the remote and it seems like that maybe the problem | 12:18 |
| histo | guest_______: are you using putty or linux > linux ? | 12:18 |
| guest_______ | it is all in one line | 12:19 |
| guest_______ | linux > linux | 12:19 |
| histo | guest_______: yeah it's supposed to be in one line | 12:19 |
| guest_______ | but the last two words of it are strange | 12:19 |

| Mithrildar | Ok | 12:20 |

| Mithrildar | Ah | 12:29 |
| histo | Mithrildar: it's fine all is good bill yourself now. | 12:29 |
| Mithrildar | Oh right :) | 12:29 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah now I see it | 12:30 |
| Mithrildar | doh | 12:30 |
| guest_______ | just nano to the file, seems okay | 12:30 |
| guest_______ | -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- | 12:30 |
| histo | guest_______: not sure why it's not trying rsa then. | 12:30 |
| Mithrildar | So I guess that I should try booting both Windows and Ubuntu now to see if everything works fine right? | 12:30 |
| histo | Mithrildar: sound's good to me. | 12:31 |
| Mithrildar | And then I can delete all that temporary stuff | 12:31 |
| histo | Mithrildar: you can delete the tgz file we created. I was trying to see if we could get it small enough for you to send it to me. So I had you compress the image you made. | 12:31 |
| Mithrildar | Ah | 12:31 |
| Mithrildar | Can I delete the image.dd and the .efi files too after I've confirmed that PC succesfully reboots | 12:32 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yeah | 12:32 |
| Mithrildar | Okay great | 12:32 |
| Mithrildar | So in the future I should just leave PUAs (and other possible infections) outside my home folder and investigate them first? It's fine to delete PUAs in my home folder (or Firefox cache) right? | 12:33 |
| histo | guest_______: What is output of cat /etc/issue | 12:34 |
| guest_______ | Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l | 12:34 |
| Mithrildar_ | Okay Lets reboot | 12:35 |
| histo | Mithrildar: PUAs are suspected malware just because of how the files is compressed. It's not a virus. It's more of a warning hey some malware uses this compression technique | 12:35 |
| histo | guest_______: and the other machine? | 12:35 |
| Mithrildar | But if it sees a PUA.Phising.Bank in my firefox cache it's pretty safe to delete it right? | 12:35 |
| Mithrildar_ | Okay rebooting | 12:36 |

| cfhowlett | guest_______ debian 7? not supported here ... | 12:36 |
| Mithrildar_ | Yeah ok | 12:36 |
| Mithrildar_ | Makes sense | 12:37 |
| histo | guest_______: you could try that and confirm that it isn't accepting the rsa key | 12:37 |
| histo | s/accepting/trying/ | 12:37 |
| Mithrildar_ | OK Windows boots fine | 12:37 |
| histo | Mithrildar_: I wouldn't even use clamav in linux but that's my opinion | 12:37 |
| Mithrildar_ | But am I fine if I just run makware | 12:38 |
| guest_______ | so this line " ssh-keygen -t rsa " should be: " ssh-keygen -t dsa " ? | 12:38 |
| Mithrildar_ | Malwarebytes | 12:38 |
| histo | guest_______: yeah if you want to test. | 12:39 |
| Mithrildar_ | In Windows | 12:39 |
| guest_______ | you mean i should not use it for production? | 12:39 |
| Mithrildar_ | Well as fine as I can be | 12:39 |
| histo | Mithrildar_: yeah run malware bytes and clamav in windows. In linux you don't really need antivirus unless you are sending files off to windows | 12:39 |
| histo | guest_______: No meaning to test to figure out the problem you are experiencing | 12:40 |
| Mithrildar_ | Yeah running malwarebytes and avast in Windows | 12:40 |
| histo | guest_______: I haven't the foggiest why you are using sql over ssh in the first place in production but whatever. | 12:40 |
| Mithrildar_ | Should I make sure that writing to a Windows partition requires root? | 12:40 |
| Mithrildar_ | If thats possible | 12:41 |
| histo | Mithrildar_: What? | 12:41 |
| histo | Mithrildar_: You don't need to scan your ubuntu partition for viruses is all I'm saying but if you want to go ahead. | 12:42 |
| eeeeee | he thinks a virus can run on linux, and install itself to windows | 12:42 |
| histo | ahh | 12:43 |
| Mithrildar_ | I mean making sure that linux cant write to Windows without root | 12:43 |
| guest_______ | have to connect to remote db and want to secure the connection. after googling and asking around i was told that the options are: a) using ssl from mysql configuration. or b) ssh tunnel to the remote host. | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar_ pretty sure that's the default | 12:43 |
| guest_______ | do you know of a better way? | 12:43 |
| eeeeee | Mithrildar_: i think histo meant that a virus wont run on linux, but if you install something for windows on linux and transfer it to windows for use, then you need an antivirus | 12:43 |
| Mithrildar_ | OK thought so, but just in case | 12:43 |
| histo | Mithrildar_: Not a concern, the concern comes that if you are working with untrusted files and sending them off to windows partition. Those untrusted files could have a virus and could cause hell to windows. Linux will not be infected. | 12:44 |
| Mithrildar_ | Yup | 12:44 |
| histo | hopefully one of us made that clear. | 12:44 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah I kinda know that I shouldn't get malware on Ubuntu | 12:45 |
| Mithrildar | but being a paranoid Windows user ;) | 12:45 |
| Mithrildar | So are chkrootkit and rkhunter any useful? | 12:45 |
| histo | Mithrildar: yes | 12:46 |
| histo | Mithrildar: well are you hosting anything on your ubuntu box? | 12:46 |
| Mithrildar | Not that I know :P | 12:46 |
| Mithrildar | Mostly using it for browsing the web and easier C++ development (got tired of Visual Studio) | 12:46 |
| histo | Mithrildar: well if you aren't listening on ssh or hosting, the chances of a rootkit beign installed somehow by remote exploitation are few and far between. Especially since you are probably sitting behind a firewall on your router/dsl/cablemodem | 12:47 |
| Mithrildar | And sometimes I use PuTTY to connect to an ubuntu server at my uni | 12:47 |
| Mithrildar | Yeah my router has a firewall and I enabled ufw | 12:48 |
| Mithrildar | Thanks for all the help histo, I really learned a lot too :) | 12:48 |
| Mithrildar | And sorry for being such a linux noob :P | 12:48 |
| Mithrildar | Using Windows for years does something with you :( | 12:49 |
| histo | Mithrildar: no problem we all had to start somewhere. | 12:49 |
| histo | Mithrildar: eventually you may uninstall windows. | 12:50 |
| Mithrildar | Hopefully | 12:50 |
| Mithrildar | But I'm not there yet sadly | 12:50 |
| histo | No more malware/virus/crap worries | 12:50 |
| histo | and lot less $$ | 12:50 |
| Mithrildar | Got Windows through Dreamspark so it didnt cost me a dime | 12:50 |
| Mithrildar | If I had to pay for it I would have switched to Linux way earlier :P | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | Mithrildar you've clearly got the patience to trouble shoot and systematically chase down problems. you'll do fine | 12:51 |
| Mithrildar | Yay :) | 12:51 |
| Mithrildar | I guess that I'll keep hanging around here, maybe I'll pick some things up :) | 12:53 |

While installation of ubuntu there is option to "format"/delete all data before installation. Is it enough to remove windows or do I have to do some other format before installation of ubuntu? | 14:16 |
| hanhuikin | hello | 14:17 |
| Mithrildar | Hi | 14:17 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: just to be sure: you want dual boot or just Ubuntu? | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | hackal formatting ant.will remove windows = it that's what you w | 14:17 |
| hackal | MasterOfDisaster: no I want to replace windows with ununtu | 14:17 |

| hanhuikin | hah | 14:18 |
| hanhuikin | haha | 14:18 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: ok, then the formatting will get rid of it. | 14:18 |
| SoSueMe | ha上海的朋友 | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | hackal and you have backed up all the important data already - right? | 14:18 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: you might want to adjust the partitioning scheme, though. | 14:19 |
| Mithrildar | Are you sure you want to remove it fully, hackal? Installing Windows next to Ubuntu is a bit of a pain | 14:19 |
| hackal | cfhowlett: everything backed up | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | hackal OK then, go for it! | 14:19 |
| hanhuikin | in fact I install ubuntu in this night | 14:19 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: windows creates a system partition that you might want to rid your system of, so adjust your partitions with the installer. | 14:19 |
| hackal | My situation is that I had pirate copy of windows 8, I need to put my notebook to service but not with pirated software | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | hanhuikin for chat, use ubuntu-offtopic. if you need help, ask your questions | 14:20 |
| hackal | So I would like to temporarily install ubuntu and then install win 7 | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | hackal ??? that makes no sense. if you need win7, install it | 14:20 |
| Mithrildar | No reason to install Ubuntu then | 14:21 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: if you want to just wipe your disk (thoroughly), boot from a livecd and run something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' | 14:21 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: that will zero out your harddisk. | 14:21 |
| Mithrildar | If you really need access to a non-pirated OS for a short while you could just boot the live CD | 14:21 |
| hanhuikin | wow , I want install the vim use this command apt -get install vim ,but it said can't find -g why? | 14:21 |
| hackal | There is big chance that win 7 will not be original too | 14:21 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hackal: Or just reset it with the recovery media/from the recovery partition on your laptop. | 14:22 |
| Mithrildar | hanhuikin: apt-get not apt -get | 14:22 |
| MasterOfDisaster | hanhuikin: extra space | 14:22 |

| bhavesh | Er, I installed Gnome Shell by the normal way with sudo apt-get install gnome-shell on Ubuntu 14.04. And then upgraded it to GNOME 3.12 using the post here : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/upgrade-gnome-3-12-ubuntu-14-04 | 17:49 |
| Guppp | Beldar, yeah i know its not the right version, and well out of date, but its the exact same symptoms and description of issue | 17:49 |
| bhavesh | and then uninstalled it completely by the method given there on the same page | 17:49 |
| Beldar | !ppa | bhavesh | 17:49 |
| ubottu | bhavesh: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| spaceSub | If so: what for? | 17:49 |
| Beldar | Guppp, Means nothing in your issue. | 17:49 |
| bhavesh | And then I completely removed GNOME with sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-shell. | 17:49 |
| bhavesh | Now I want GNOME 3.10 back, when I try to install it with sudo apt-get install gnome-shell, it says that some packages are not going to be installed because they have unmet dependencies | 17:50 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | bhavesh this is all we support | 17:50 |
| ubottu | bhavesh this is all we support: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:50 |
| Guppp | Beldar, it saves me pasting in the description from that page and saying "this is happening" | 17:50 |
| Beldar | Guppp, It does not help. | 17:50 |
| schone | what im trying is to get the latets s3cmd… and it seems to only be available in that repo | 17:51 |

| bhavesh | Beldar, I did sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging to uninstall the 3.12 version previously. | 17:51 |
| bhavesh | as stated on the omgubuntu.co.uk's page | 17:52 |

| bhavesh | but now when I want to install 3.10 again, it says : E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 17:52 |
| jay__ | hey guys. i'm wondering if there is a way to uninstall everything in one section. for example. i don't want any games installed. is there a way to uninstall all games with one command? | 17:52 |
| bhavesh | And doing dpkg --get-selections | grep hold gives no results. | 17:53 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, All you had to do was run the ppa-purge you should of had the ubuntu repos version than. | 17:53 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, I did, and then I also did apt-get remove --purge later. | 17:53 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, why? | 17:54 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, because I thought ppa-purge only converts 3.12 to 3.10, I wanted to completely remove GNOME at that time. | 17:54 |
| convict | Anyone have any luck getting touchegg to work with chromium? Works for me everywhere else just not firefox or chrome. | 17:54 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, gnome 3 underlies unity and other desktops, so your goal was not a good one. | 17:55 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, I mean, the GNOME Shell. | 17:55 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, the ppa-purge reverts you 3.10 | 17:55 |
| Guppp | Beldar, thats many reports of exactly the same symptoms all consistently reproducible on my installs, but i guess i cant expect everyone to read it all, i did summarize the issue though: | 17:55 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, yeah. And as I have messed things up, is there any way out? | 17:56 |
| OerHeks | jay__, no, unfortunately not | 17:57 |
| Beldar | Guppp, No biggie, you just have to understand the scientific method and reporting issues. In an example If I was writing one of my grad papers and parsed out a sentence to mean what I wanted it to rather than what it meant I would be called on that. | 17:57 |
| Guppp | I'm finding that in firefox all menus (main/autocomplete/context/bookmarks etc..) are not displaying after a system suspend, until the window is re-focused.

| Beldar | bhavesh, What desktops are installed and what do you want? | 17:58 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, I currently only have Unity. Now I want GNOME shell. | 17:58 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, with Unity as it is. | 17:58 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, how is unity running, I wonder with the purge if you removed gnome 3 packages is all. | 17:59 |
| OerHeks | Guppo now i understand what you want: it is NO bug, the menu's on top panel is called Global Menu | 17:59 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, It's running perfectly. | 17:59 |
| OerHeks | Guppo only focused windows are seen on top panel | 17:59 |
| Beldar | bhavesh, I would pastebin the gnome shell install from a apt-get run with all errors for the channel to see with the inquiries. | 18:00 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, http://pastebin.com/yPXVv3Aq | 18:01 |
| bhavesh | Beldar, And "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" returns nothing. | 18:02 |

| misternumberone | hi, I'm running 13.10 with uefi boot and I accidently broke my grub | 18:11 |
| bhavesh | misternumberone, you can reinstall grub with sudo grub-install /dev/sdx where x is the hard drive number on which you have installed Ubuntu. | 18:12 |
| MasterOfDisaster | misternumberone: start from the livecd, chroot into your installation and reinstall it. | 18:12 |
| misternumberone | I tried to do that from here http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd and when i type grub-install it says source_dir doesn't exist | 18:12 |
| Riobe | The instructions for how to install MongoDB on Ubuntu say that they are .deb packages (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/), but I thought I read here that Ubuntu doesn't support .deb.

| OerHeks | Riobe, ubuntu is debian based, so yes | 18:21 |
| Beldar | misternumberone, Not many here that know this area and uefi in general is all. | 18:21 |
| syntroPi | i mean every program could initiate a password prompt dialogue and get passwords which arent meant for them!!! | 18:22 |
| Riobe | OerHeks, Ah, I didn't realize that. Thank you. | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | Riobe, some examples http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-server.html | 18:23 |
| syntroPi | why on earth isnt ensured the proper program name gets displayed with such an dialogue? | 18:23 |
| SchrodingersScat | syntroPi: if you mean gksudo, it should tell you the program that's requesting it. | 18:23 |
| syntroPi | no its gnome-shell | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | syntroPi, most likely the program you are starting/using | 18:23 |
| syntroPi | well i did not start any program | 18:23 |
| syntroPi | and most likely is never good enough for passwords | 18:24 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, Context, context context | 18:24 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, Details and a context is what is needed here for help. | 18:25 |
| syntroPi | gnome shell, login, get password prompt right away (no program start) for my gmail account from gnome shell (whichever program is behind that): most likely its evolution checking for new emails, but maybe its not?? | 18:25 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, "gnome shell, login, get password prompt right away " are you wireless? | 18:26 |
| syntroPi | nope | 18:26 |
| OerHeks | keyring maybe | 18:26 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, Hard to say, we have to just guess, never happens here, it is attached to something you have done. | 18:27 |
| OerHeks | sounds logical, gmail password stored in keyring, but keyring not open on login | 18:27 |
| syntroPi | well yes probably, but how am i supposed to trust "gnome-shell" with my password for whatever action hides behind that prompt? | 18:27 |
| OerHeks | keyring password differ from login password? | 18:27 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, You made this issue, can you trust yourself I would ask. | 18:28 |
| syntroPi | well i think its really bad to ask for password without explaining what will be done with it... i mean yes its for gmail, but which program asks for this? | 18:29 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, If you continue to externalize the blame you will just be confused. | 18:30 |
| Beldar | look in the mirror. ;) | 18:30 |
| subz3r0 | lool | 18:30 |
| subz3r0 | thinking about security issues and using gmail | 18:30 |
| subz3r0 | you made my day! | 18:30 |
| syntroPi | this is kind of a problem in linux in general: ppl are used to enter their password way too often, so a suspicious program could just ask the user for it. imho this is done better in windows 7 uac where you just get a yes/no question presented (which leaks no secret in suspicious scenarios)... | 18:31 |
| syntroPi | though id never use w7 on my own box | 18:31 |
| Beldar | syntroPi, What a garbage statement. | 18:32 |
| Beldar | thank goodness for the ignore | 18:32 |
| subz3r0 | Beldar: ;) | 18:32 |
| subz3r0 | Beldar: :D | 18:32 |
| SchrodingersScat | syntroPi: the benefit in linux in general is that you can not enter your password and investigate further if it strikes your interest. | 18:32 |
| subz3r0 | well. since this isnt really ubuntu specific... use the Offtopic channel or go to #linux | 18:33 |

| Mithrildar | Is there some way I can install 4.8.3? | 18:40 |
| syntroPi | well substract gmail from it my point being: it should just tell you what program it will use the password for (or never ask for it otherwise). in case of superuser unlock it should just present you with yes/no prompt and escalate the perms internally. just my opinion. | 18:40 |

| tengopreguntas | i think i have done everything right, but still not working, i'd like to know whether it is me or a bug in cgroup-bin or ubuntu | 18:56 |
| holstein | eeee: so, it worked in the operating system the vendor promised it would work in? or no? | 18:58 |
| eeee | holstein: it always works in ubuntu, it just suddenly stopped working, so i tried to restart again and it worked (it's the laptop's touchpad) | 19:00 |
| holstein | eeee: sure, i understand that. .it worked, then suddenly stopped in the unsupported operating system.. does it seem like it works in the officially supported operating system? does it seem intermittent in the vendor supported scenario? | 19:01 |

Please consult their websites for more information.

| Beldar | Oxid, read the bot | 19:04 |
| holstein | eeee: if you find that its working now, and would like to just let this go, thats fine with me.. but, what im askig is, does the touchpad seem to do that same breakage in windows? if you can answer that question, you can better troubleshoot if this is a software or hardware breakage.. if the hardware is bad, you cant "fix" it in ubuntu | 19:04 |

| Jafura | Hello | 19:12 |
| rewsky | Hi, I recently had some software upgrades that messed up grub so it doesn't boot anymore, I have an encrypted boot partition what would be the easiest way to fix this? | 19:13 |
| Jafura | I need the list of all the characters supported by a specific font. Is there a tool to get that list as a plain text file? | 19:13 |
| rewsky | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7753407/ | 19:14 |
| reisio | Jafura: might check xlsfonts, or something from fontforge | 19:16 |

| Shadow}} | Hello; Anyone know if theres a Bitcomet for Xubuntu I can just use apt-get on? Not savvy on here. | 19:17 |
| daftykins | Shadow}}: "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search bitcomet" | 19:19 |
| Beldar | rewsky, That is a mess, sdb has gpt remnants at best, mixed with a non efi install, and lvm. You backed up? | 19:19 |
| Shadow}} | daftykins: That typically work on most things also? And thank you. | 19:19 |
| reisio | Shadow}}: try deluge instead | 19:19 |
| Jafura | reisio, I’m looking at the description of xlsfonts in the software center. | 19:19 |
| daftykins | Shadow}}: the second portion of that command simply searches for packages with the string supplied, e.g. "apt-cache search <thing to search for>" | 19:20 |
| Shadow}} | Well. Thing is. I can't seem to NOT download the files of torrents I don't want using Transmission. Bitcomet well.. I get higher speeds on. | 19:20 |
| Jafura | That’s in the x11-utils. | 19:20 |
| Shadow}} | daftykins: Ah, Thought so. Good to be told though. | 19:20 |
| rewsky | Beldar: haven't backed up, but its a damn near fresh install, changed my centos 6 hypervisor into an ubuntu desktop cause i needed a desktop | 19:20 |
| rewsky | some of those drives can be ignored I am only worried about fixing sda, particularly sda5 | 19:21 |
| reisio | Jafura: alternatively: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22linux%22%20list%20all%20chars%20of%20a%20font&gws_rd=ssl | 19:21 |
| rewsky | but to reinstall grub of course and the mbr pointing to my /boot which is encrypted I need to first encrypted and mount the file system | 19:21 |
| Shadow}} | daftykins: So the first part is updating the database for the cache? | 19:22 |
| rewsky | I was wondering if there was a more automate or quicker way of doing this | 19:22 |
| daftykins | Shadow}}: yes | 19:22 |

| MuffinMedic | holstein: i have a Windows machine running a few services i need to connect to remotely, but the network i am on i can't configure for port forwarding and they have a somewhat restrictive firewall | 19:26 |

| mbalmer | I suggest C and Motif. | 20:19 |
| reisio | heh | 20:19 |
| Cx405 | reisio: what I mean is - how to quickly write gui apps IF one knows python. Basically, if you'd write a gui app (non-opengl) in RAD way, what would you use. | 20:20 |
| Beldar | Lyte101, 12.04 has a problem in this area, I was never able to get it to work in controlling this area myself, but is just me. I tried configs and a other methods. | 20:20 |
| Cx405 | I did gui only in Java+swing on Solaris machines. | 20:21 |
| mbalmer | try wxPython | 20:21 |
| Cx405 | well, delphi too, but it was long ago and now there is lazarus | 20:21 |
| Cx405 | mbalmer: thanks, noted | 20:21 |
| Lyte101 | Beldar, alright maybe I'll just deal with for now thought it might be something easy | 20:22 |
| mbalmer | reisio, btw, I was halfway serious, though I would use Lua... | 20:22 |
| Lyte101 | Beldar, I'll just get the 14.04 upgrade since that is about to release | 20:22 |
| reisio | :p | 20:22 |
| Cx405 | mbalmer: why would you prefer lua over python? I know lua is just for quick scripting. | 20:23 |
| mbalmer | http://www.vnode.ch/lua_gui | 20:23 |
| reisio | shhh | 20:23 |
| mbalmer | Pythn, Lua, both are good languages. Depends a bit ont the use, imo. | 20:23 |
| reisio | yup | 20:24 |
| reisio | but motif :p | 20:24 |
| Cx405 | .. and there is Goo, Ruby etc. We have a wagon of good languages :) | 20:24 |
| reisio | Goo, or Go? :p | 20:24 |
| mbalmer | reisio, Motif or GTK+, not so much difference, actually. | 20:25 |
| Cx405 | go, sorry | 20:25 |
| mbalmer | I use Motif, GTK, Qt, all are nice, somehow. | 20:26 |
| Cx405 | mbalmer: is GTK dying?.. I hope they let lose of GNOME binding, this is insane. | 20:26 |

| reisio | no, the primary GUI toolkit of Unix is not dying | 20:26 |

| Cx405 | reisio: it is primary toolkit for GNOME, not for Linux | 20:26 |

| mbalmer | reisio, I do embedded stuff with touchscreens, so if I use Motif, noone will notice. It is not software that is used in a desktop environment. | 20:28 |
| reisio | I'm talking about GTK+ | 20:28 |
| Cx405 | reisio: yes | 20:28 |
| reisio | mbalmer: they will assume they're stuck with the awful GUI the device came with, yup | 20:28 |
| reisio | Cx405: so a blog post about GNOME doesn't interest me much :p | 20:28 |
| reisio | probably wouldn't even if I were talking about GNOME | 20:28 |
| Cx405 | reisio: they break theming, functions, icons, design, everything in GTK - main thing it works in GNOME | 20:29 |
| mbalmer | no, they like windows 8 tile style, actually.... | 20:29 |
| Cx405 | reisio: ofc it interests you, go make a peek. Its about GTK primary | 20:29 |
| reisio | nah | 20:29 |
| mbalmer | of course you need to set X resources.... | 20:29 |
| reisio | I don't worry about open source things | 20:29 |
| reisio | if there's a real need for change, projects are forked | 20:30 |
| Cx405 | After long research I made this points: Qt is following corresponding style on individual platform it runs. GTK follows GNOME style on ALL platforms it runs. | 20:30 |
| reisio | nobody forces a person to use gtk3 | 20:31 |
| Cx405 | there is also one huge video conference, how to migrate from gtk to qt and how its much less painfull. | 20:31 |
| Riobe | My mouse has died again, and if pattern holds true if I keep going long enough my keyboard (both usb) will too. I have the output of my dmesg for up to when it happened here http://paste.ubuntu.com/7757211/ and my lsusb results here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7757218/ Is there anything that might cause usb to start failing after hours of use? | 20:31 |
| Cx405 | reisio: to clear things up - I always prefered GTK over Qt. Its recent news that make me shake head :/ | 20:31 |
| mbalmer | I am pulling out... cu.... | 20:32 |
| reisio | a lot of awful things are less painful :p | 20:32 |
| Riobe | Thank goodness for <command> | pastebinit | xclip -selection clipboard so I don't need a mouse to do any of that pastebin'ing. | 20:32 |
| Cx405 | mbalmer:bb | 20:32 |
| reisio | meanwhile GTK+2 is still there | 20:32 |
| Cx405 | reisio: you bet. I am on MATE.... | 20:32 |
| reisio | I'm pretty happy with just Xlib really :p | 20:33 |
| mbalmer | add Xm and be really happy ;P | 20:33 |
| Cx405 | so... what do you use to code for Xlib? | 20:34 |
| Riobe | I have now had my USB devices, starting with my mouse (only have a usb mouse and keyboard plugged in) fail 3 times since moving to Ubuntu 14.04. I have the kubuntu-destop package installed if that matters.

I have no idea how to troublehsoot this. | 20:34 |

| eeee | Riobe: maybe check /var/log/syslog ? | 20:39 |
| Cx405 | question - how to save dash filters permanently. Mainly I want to disable ads and offers, because I am not interested in this really. | 20:40 |
| Riobe | Nothing I can see useful there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7757294/ | 20:40 |
| Riobe | eeee, Thanks for the suggestion | 20:41 |
| Riobe | I'm also really green when it comes to Linux overall though. | 20:41 |
| eeee | Cx405: settings > security and privacy | 20:41 |
| eeee | Riobe: try cat /var/log/syslog | grep usb | 20:42 |
| TJ- | Riobe: clues (if any) are more likely to be found in "/var/log/kern.log" | 20:44 |
| Riobe | eeee, Is there a way to "cat /something/ | tail -#" I can't scroll up to see how big this output would be if I were to try to pastebin it. I don't see anything with the word error anywhere near the end. I do see lines talking about my keyboard. | 20:45 |
| Riobe | TJ-, Thanks, I'll check that now. | 20:45 |
| mbalmer | mbalmer what the hack | 20:45 |
| eeee | Riobe: you can you less instead of tail | 20:45 |
| eeee | Riobe: you can scroll up and down with it, q to quit | 20:46 |
| eeee | Riobe: i noticed from the syslog that when i booted before, it didn't pick up the touchpad, it only displayed picking it up the second time i booted | 20:47 |
| Riobe | eeee, That's really useful, thanks. | 20:47 |
| eeee | why it didn't pick it up though i have no idea | 20:47 |
| Riobe | In my syslog I can see where it found my mouse and said "input: Razer Razer Mamba as /devices......." | 20:48 |
| Riobe | In kern.log... it looks about the same | 20:48 |
| Riobe | I'm not sure what the difference between those files are. | 20:48 |
| Riobe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7757317/ <- The result of "cat /var/log/kern.log | grep usb | pastebinit | xclip -selection clipboard" | 20:50 |
| TJ- | Riobe: kern.log only contains kernel messages; syslog contains messages from all manner of system daemons and processes | 20:50 |
| Riobe | TJ-, Ah, thanks for the clarification. You guys in this channel have been amazing in making the transition to Linux. | 20:50 |
| TJ- | Riobe: We need to see an extract, not just the grep, but those messages already show a device failure | 20:50 |
| Riobe | TJ-, An extract? | 20:51 |
| eeee | he means messages before and after the error's i think | 20:51 |
| Riobe | Wow, I can't find the part that shows the failure. Shows me that I have no idea how to read this. | 20:52 |
| TJ- | Riobe: Those extracts are part of a stacktrace when the kernel fails badly; we need to see the entire set of message around those occurences | 20:52 |
| Riobe | Oh | 20:52 |
| eeee | Riobe: i dont know if this is the proper way to go about this, but grep -A 10 usb, would display 10 lines after every usb occurance, i think | 20:54 |
| Riobe | TJ-, eeee, I learned -C 10 yesterday which does before and after, here is a pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7757330/ | 20:55 |
| Riobe | That is....a smidgen hard to read. | 20:56 |
| === db is now known as Guest92039 | ||
| Riobe | Huh...found a line that said "usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbmouse" | 20:56 |
| Riobe | That sounds pretty relevant. | 20:57 |
| kostkon | Riobe, does the mouse work if you unplug it and plug it back in | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Riobe: try a different usb port, preferably not usb3 | 20:58 |
| Riobe | kostkon, No, it'll just stop lighting up. I get no input response from it now, if I unplug it and replug it in it'll just stay dead. | 20:58 |
| TJ- | Riobe: Have you recently changed anything on the USB side, like adding/removing a hub, adding/removing external power, connecting USB devices to different ports on hubs on the PC itself? | 20:58 |
| Riobe | ActionParsnip, It was plugged into a usb port on my keyboard that was forwarded to my pc. I'll plug it into the PC directly then and see if that helps. | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Riobe: id bet it does | 21:00 |
| Riobe | TJ-, No, but I get this problem after some amount of hours (I haven't been able to pin a pattern yet) of use and I've only been using Ubuntu since yesterday and have been getting this. | 21:00 |
| Riobe | ActionParsnip, Well, it won't activate by putting it into another port, but maybe if I restart and run that way from boot I might avoid whatever crashed it in the first place? | 21:00 |

| tech | bot means what : ubottu | 23:36 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: eh, I would prefer to not use a ppa | 23:36 |
| Ben64 | tech: ubottu is the channel bot, not a person | 23:36 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: then you get to use the versions that come with ubuntu | 23:37 |
| ElysiumNet | but it's so outdated! :( | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | then use a ppa... | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | !latest | ElysiumNet | 23:37 |
| ubottu | ElysiumNet: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 23:37 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: outdated by several years :P | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: ok... what package | 23:38 |
| Shadow}} | 'Ello. Looking for MKV for Xubuntu through usage of apt-get? | 23:38 |
| Shadow}} | Or just a nice media player that supports .mkv | 23:38 |
| SchrodingersScat | Shadow}}: apt-cache search mkv | 23:38 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: I know there is a PPA for this, but I'm afraid of screwing up the production environment. php5 and php5-fpm | 23:38 |
| SchrodingersScat | Shadow}}: I'm thinking most of the media players should, mplayer, vlc, etc. etc. | 23:39 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: mkv is a container, get a player that supports the codecs that are in it. mplayer, vlc are two examples | 23:39 |
| Shadow}} | Soo. Ya'll's opinion? What player should I get? | 23:39 |
| robinhood2014 | My volume popup indicator is not working... I can change the volume and I can get audio confirmation, but no popup indicator. What's wrong? | 23:39 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info mpv | Shadow}} | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Shadow}}: mpv (source: mpv): video player based on MPlayer/mplayer2. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.4-1 (trusty), package size 615 kB, installed size 1503 kB | 23:39 |
| tech | hey please help me i am having trouble with my site "502 bad getway nginx error" how to fix | 23:39 |
| holstein | !Info vlc | 23:39 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: it's still on 5.3.19 which supports none of the new language features | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: then upgrade to 14.04, it is 5.5.9 | 23:40 |
| ElysiumNet | *5.3.10 | 23:40 |
| phunyguy | tech: we may need more details than that | 23:40 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: apt-get dist-upgrade only right? | 23:40 |
| Shadow}} | So. Will MPlayer/MP2 have or can have .mkv codecs? | 23:41 |
| holstein | !restricted | 23:41 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 23:41 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 23:41 |
| ElysiumNet | Ben64: chances of breaking everything? | 23:41 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: fairly small | 23:42 |
| holstein | ElysiumNet: no matter what the chances, or gurantee, you should have a backup | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | ElysiumNet: you should definitely have backups though | 23:42 |
| * ElysiumNet writes that as 99.99% certainty | 23:42 | |
| Shadow}} | Is there not a linux version I can get of ..Erm, The Korean Media Player? | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: no idea what that is, but mplayer and/or vlc should be able to play anything | 23:42 |
| Shadow}} | KMP? I believe it is... I'm not sure, bad memory. | 23:43 |
| holstein | Shadow}}: ask then for a version for linux.. nothing about ubuntu is preventing it from being on it | 23:43 |
| Shadow}} | Oh? Okay. Still learning...Slowly. | 23:43 |
| holstein | vlc is also my suggestion.. | 23:43 |
| SchrodingersScat | Shadow}}: vlc has a nice gui, and xine looks a little like it, maybe? | 23:43 |
| Shadow}} | VLC can play .mkv I know this. So.. its "sudo up... gah how to do it.. | 23:44 |
| holstein | Shadow}}: sudo apt-get install vlc | 23:44 |
| Shadow}} | Oh? So no need to search and update the database cache on VLC,eh? | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: again, mkv is a container, you need a player that supports the codecs inside. pretty much every player on ubuntu will do so | 23:44 |
| holstein | Shadow}}: do what you like.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc" | 23:45 |
| Shadow}} | Ben64: I just NOW understood that. | 23:45 |

| Shadow}} | Ben64: So, A container being something of a file extension much like a .zip? | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: not at all | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats | 23:47 |
| Shadow}} | Ben64: Mind summing what it is up for me? I'd love to learn but..I can't retain reading materials for certain reasons, Oddly enough this doesn't occur during human interaction albeit text. | 23:47 |
| Shadow}} | Cept Wiki, I can retain Wiki. | 23:48 |
| Shadow}} | Ben64: I think I understand a bit of it now, More like a web of codecs similiar to an OS? Per se.. | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: its more like a container. think of jars or bottles or something. | 23:51 |
| Shadow}} | So question being, When I see .mkv files downloading. Doesn't really mean I can't play the files theirselves? | 23:51 |
| Shadow}} | All depends on the Media Player's supported usage of codecs and codecs therein? | 23:52 |
| Ben64 | Shadow}}: yeah | 23:52 |
| Shadow}} | Ben64: Thank you, Helps alot for future reference when running into issues and trying to resolve them myself. | 23:53 |
| Shadow}} | holstein: Thank you also for the terminal line. | 23:54 |
