| neldogz | Hi all, I am trying to recreate an issue by breaking grub on a working test system so that I can try to repair it on a production server. Is there an easy way to create a boot failure which will take me into >Grub recovery upon bootup? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| AlexPortable | is there a wine dchannel? | 00:02 |
| reisio | neldogz: can we just fix the production one instead? :p | 00:02 |
| reisio | AlexPortable: /msg alis list *wine* | 00:02 |
| holstein | AlexPortable: yes.. it is mentioned in the link i shared | 00:02 |
| holstein | !wine | AlexPortable | 00:02 |
| ubottu | AlexPortable: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 00:02 |
| holstein | as pre the text in the links, you can /join #winehq | 00:03 |
| neldogz | reisio, its a remote server that I don't have console access to.. so i am trying to put together a series of steps that will boot the server from the grub recovery menu | 00:03 |
| AlexPortable | ah thanks | 00:03 |
| AlexPortable | why not #wine | 00:03 |
| holstein | AlexPortable: but, as i said, there is a list already on the site you should consult | 00:03 |
| reisio | neldogz: what good would that do? | 00:03 |
| AlexPortable | yes the site says it works fine | 00:03 |
| holstein | AlexPortable: /join what channels you like. i gave the wine support link | 00:03 |
| reisio | AlexPortable: probably 'cause they couldn't get wine.org | 00:03 |
| reisio | ...'cause 'wine' is a stupid name for something | 00:04 |
| AlexPortable | ah | 00:04 |
| neldogz | reisio, i will then pass the instructions to a guy on site | 00:04 |
| AlexPortable | well this is freenode | 00:04 |
| AlexPortable | so wine is foss | 00:04 |
| reisio | neldogz: :/ | 00:04 |
| AlexPortable | so no need for hq behind it | 00:04 |
| reisio | neldogz: you just hold SHIFT and the grub menu appears | 00:04 |
| reisio | neldogz: should say there how to get to a console | 00:04 |
| holstein | AlexPortable: the channel for the wine team is listed above. you can ask them about it | 00:04 |
| reisio | AlexPortable: freenode... not the sanest place in the world | 00:04 |
| neldogz | reisio, whats a sure fire way to screw up grub? | 00:05 |
| reisio | but also, people name their channels what they want, not what freenode wants, for the most part | 00:05 |
| reisio | neldogz: hit the box with a sledgehammer | 00:05 |
| neldogz | :) | 00:05 |
| reisio | wait wait | 00:05 |
| reisio | neldogz: tell it that it's better than everyone else for its entire childhood :p | 00:06 |
| neldogz | can i just delete /etc/grub.d | 00:07 |
| holstein | neldogz: in what context? | 00:08 |
| neldogz | holstein, i am trying to intentionally screw up grub so that i can then fix it | 00:09 |
| neldogz | or at least try to fix it from >Grub | 00:09 |
| adamcunnington | How do i stop my windows partitions from showing (mounting) in ubuntu? | 00:09 |

| Leeuwenhok | I was upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 using the updater app but the laptop lost power mid-way. Then I was told to run "sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" by some fellow members. That completed successfully, but how do I complete the upgrade process? | 00:26 |
| get52 | u dunt | 00:26 |
| get52 | ur fukd lee | 00:26 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: i would fresh install 14.04 | 00:26 |
| holstein | get52: please dont | 00:26 |
| Leeuwenhok | Maybe I'd do that, but I need to get deeper into this. | 00:27 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: are you showing you are on 13.10 or 14.04? | 00:27 |
| Leeuwenhok | The laptop didn't restart, so yeah, it's still 13.10. | 00:27 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: not really.. its bad to disrupt upgrades.. its not something that will get your any real experience to fix that.. you can try the upgrade again.. | 00:27 |
| Leeuwenhok | Should I check the software updater to see what it says? | 00:27 |
| Leeuwenhok | I wonder why I was given those commands... | 00:27 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: thats the ones to run and troubleshoot errors | 00:28 |
| Leeuwenhok | Those commands downloaded/replaces/set up/install stuff. | 00:28 |
| Leeuwenhok | Software Updater says the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates. | 00:29 |

| Loshki | Does anyone have sound working on a REALTEK AC1200 under 14.04? This worked under 12.04... | 00:47 |
| joseluis64 | I added the KDE 5 frameworks repository, and Installed it, after that output, I still have all that packages in my hard drive. | 00:48 |
| holstein | joseluis64: i would do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and report errors | 00:48 |
| holstein | Loshki: should be a backport to support it, but i bet its more a muting issue.. | 00:49 |
| holstein | !audio | 00:49 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 00:49 |
| bazoz2zag | Bashing-om, seems like extended moved, but that could be acer/windows repair or chkdsk doing some weird stuff... idk.. | 00:49 |
| bazoz2zag | thanks anyways | 00:50 |
| joseluis64 | holstein it didn't remove any package... | 00:50 |
| Loshki | holstein: I don't think it's muting, the hardware doesn't seem to show up in Sound configuration tool, but I'll work through the docs anyway... | 00:51 |

| helbal | thx, Loshki, gonna try it | 00:55 |
| Bashing-om | bazoz2zag: As a thought for what you might be able to do: in GParted (liveDVD) create a logical partition within the extended partition, and copy back sdb5 (??). | 00:56 |

| joseluis64 | function9 I never installed any theme | 00:56 |
| bazoz2zag | Bashing-om, creating the partition wouldnt wipe it ? or at least mark it as empty ? so, ill do datarecovery anyway (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery) | 00:57 |
| Loshki | holstein: I do see it in aplay -l, as expected. But in the sound configuration tool, under output, there is no hardware listed... | 00:58 |

| Loshki | helbal: do you know where it failed? | 00:59 |
| Bashing-om | bazoz2zag: I would expect the current extended partition sda4 is empty. You should be able to create a logical partition within sda4. | 00:59 |
| holstein | Loshki: i would try 'pavucontrol'.. see if you have more options.. look in alsamixer as well | 00:59 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: almost certainly. Do you have reason to suspect it didn't? | 00:59 |
| Leeuwenhok | Yeah, I didn't get the faster boot time that I experienced from the LiveUSB. | 01:00 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: you should check your sources and check the kernel.. and the release | 01:00 |
| Leeuwenhok | Where do I check that? | 01:01 |
| Loshki | holstein: ok, before I start, can someone point me to an overview telling how alsa, pavu, and pulseaudio all play together. | 01:01 |
| helbal | NAPI driver too old and doesn't match the kernel key. Then I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2224262 also with no succes - key match ok, but still no connection | 01:01 |
| barnex | could someone maybe point me to some generally good defaults for desktop filesystems? I'm thinking more about my raid5+luks+lvm setup, and there seems to be too much information and variables. Chunk size of 64kb seems popular enough for raid5, but I still have no idea about which filesystem would perform best (programming, internet, games) and what block size should I use. | 01:01 |

| holstein | zartoosh: what are you trying to do? | 01:08 |
| zartoosh | holstein, for example in a directory I do, grep install * and it fails, I did man pages on grep and apparently this is because the "POSIXLY_CORRECT" option is set, I do not know how ? | 01:11 |
| Leeuwenhok | If I have 3 partitions and I delete the 3rd one, is it possible to add it's capacity to the first one? | 01:12 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: if you're prepared to do a clean install, you've nothing to lose by trying the upgrade first. But I always clean install & just keep the /etc directory around from the previous one... | 01:12 |
| Leeuwenhok | I already upgraded. | 01:12 |
| Leeuwenhok | By capacity, I didn't mean the data. I meant the holding capacity. I want to increase the size of the 1st part. | 01:13 |
| holstein | zartoosh: what are you trying to do? | 01:13 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: you can try in gparted.. i would have my data backedup | 01:14 |
| Leeuwenhok | I've got nothing to lose. | 01:14 |
| Bashing-om | Leeuwenhok: Not directly, you would 1st have to mess about with the 2nd partition, moving 2 into what was 3 and then 1 into 2 .. there is a good chance of data loss. | 01:14 |
| zartoosh | holstein, as I said I just try to use a simple "grep" command and it fails as above, nothing special. | 01:15 |
| Leeuwenhok | #Bashing-om The chance of data loss is less for the 1st part as compared to the others, right? | 01:15 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: how large is the data? | 01:15 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: you should have your data backedup . partition management like that is tricky.. for the entire drive.. | 01:16 |
| Leeuwenhok | I might delete the 2nd and 3rd parts, 60 GB each. Then I need to resize the 1st part to add 60 GB to it. So I need a resultant 2 parts. | 01:17 |
| Bashing-om | Leeuwenhok: The greater risk is moving a partition to the left ( the header data in the left side of the partition ). moving the partition table data at the sector level is a risk. | 01:17 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: so, no backups? | 01:18 |
| Leeuwenhok | And then I have a fourth part, 300 GB, at the end of the HDD. Is there risk of data loss there? | 01:18 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: you need to have *all* data backed up.. | 01:19 |
| holstein | Leeuwenhok: that drive is going to fail, so its not a waste of time | 01:19 |
| Leeuwenhok | I have it backed up, already. I always back up. Just a few files remaining. | 01:20 |

| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: depends how you've separated them. There are various config files (e.g. for browsers etc) that usually end up in directories beginning with a dot. If you lose them, you have to do some reconfiguration, which may or may not be cumbersome. | 01:29 |

| zartoosh | pavlos, it seems something is wrong or an environment variable is set in correclty, I have another system with 14.04 and I see no issue either... | 01:31 |
| BenjiThaGuy | well the reason i needed to do that is because the vm only shows part of the desktop when i login | 01:31 |
| holstein | BenjiThaGuy: do what you like.. is it an ubuntu guest? | 01:32 |
| tylero | why yall leaving? | 01:32 |
| pavlos | zartoosh, ok, I got no more ideas | 01:32 |
| BenjiThaGuy | holstein: lemme check | 01:32 |
| Leeuwenhok | I'll be back after a clean install. Hope it goes well. | 01:32 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: I always back up /home and /etc. Actually, I never reformat /home, it has it's own partition. And just to reinforce holstein's point, all disks fail, some without warning. There is no convenient time for a disk failure... | 01:32 |
| holstein | BenjiThaGuy: what is the guest system? what is the host system? is it virtualbox? | 01:33 |
| BenjiThaGuy | holstein: it is virtualbox | 01:33 |
| Leeuwenhok | #loshki Alright. | 01:33 |
| holstein | BenjiThaGuy: ok.. thats one down.. | 01:33 |
| tylero | cock | 01:33 |
| Loshki | BenjiThaGuy: you've done the usual? Tried to open the iso as a virtual disk? What does it say? | 01:33 |
| Leeuwenhok | What's /etc? | 01:33 |
| zartoosh | pavlos the man pages of grep refer to POSIXLY_CORRECT option has this error message out ... | 01:33 |
| pavlos | zartoosh, do you have a file in the dir you're listing that is named '--verbose' | 01:33 |
| BenjiThaGuy | Loshki lemme cp what it says | 01:34 |
| zartoosh | pavlos, yes you are genius ... | 01:34 |
| Bashing-om | Leeuwenhok: /etc/holds system config files. | 01:34 |

| BenjiThaGuy | Loshki: you need what it says when i try to insert guest additions? | 01:35 |
| holstein | BenjiThaGuy: im still waiting on, what is the host and guest os.. | 01:35 |
| zartoosh | pavlos, now how could i remove it ... | 01:35 |
| Loshki | BenjiThaGuy: yes, the *exact* text, if it's not very large. Put it in a 'pastebin' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 01:36 |
| BenjiThaGuy | holstein what do you mean? | 01:36 |
| BenjiThaGuy | Loshki ok i'm just going to take a screenshot since that is easier | 01:36 |
| pavlos | zartoosh, you can use rm -i * it will ask you to remove a file or not, say no to all except the --verbose | 01:36 |

| adamcunnington | Loshki: i've got so far; UUID=<blah> /media/Windows8 ntfs-3g defaults, dir_mode=0755, file_mode=0644 0 0 | 01:47 |
| holstein | BenjiThaGuy: or, from the boot screen, in the guest.. you can access recovery.. | 01:47 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: i want to only mount a part of the UUID though, not the entire thing | 01:47 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: I don't think you can mount an individual file. The closest you can get is to the "Documents and Settings" directory and look inside it... | 01:47 |
| Loshki | "is to the" -> "is to mount the" | 01:47 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: i want to mount a directory, never said a file | 01:48 |
| BenjiThaGuy | ty holstein | 01:48 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: but how would i specify which folder within my above UUID | 01:48 |
| obelix_ | thank you bill gates for windows | 01:48 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: ah, so you did. Instead of /media/windows8 you want /media/windows8/.../Documents and Settings where you fill in the "..." with the path to the directory. | 01:49 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: huh? but that is just the mount location, my point is i only want to mount a certain part of the UUID | 01:50 |
| Leeuwenhok | Nevermind, restarting worked. | 01:50 |
| BenjiThaGuy | holstein: It worked! ty | 01:50 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: oh, wait. I think I got that wrong. Let me check my fstab. | 01:50 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: Hmm. I don't think it can be done the way you want. How about mounting the volume as normal, and then planting links to the directory you want to access? | 01:52 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: over nfs, you can mount any part of the directory tree. That's what confused me. | 01:53 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: i think you can mount just a dir, someone was saying the other day | 01:54 |

| adamcunnington | automatically via fstab | 01:54 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: what do you plan to install, overall? | 01:54 |
| zartoosh | hi I want to install another instance of ubuntu on the same ssd. I have done that by paritioning my disk, to sda1 (efi loader), sda2 (first ubuntu), sda3 (second ubuntu), sda4 (swap). The second instance of ubuntu was install with debootstrap, now how can I configure the grub to boot the second instance of ubuntu in uefi mode? thx | 01:57 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: I don't think so. I'd love to be proved wrong, though. See also, "mount --bind" which lets you set up aliases. | 01:57 |
| histo | adamcunnington: no you are looking for a bind mount, allows you to mount a directory that's visible elsewhere | 01:58 |
| Leeuwenhok | I have Windows on the first part, stuff on the second part (downloads mainly). and 120 GB free space in between. I'd like Ubuntu at the "end" of this 120 GB so that it uses only about 60 GB. I'd later add the rest of the free space to the 1st part. | 01:59 |
| adamcunnington | histo: so i'd have to mount it somewhere random and then just bind 1 folder and have that at a more obvious mounting point? | 01:59 |
| adamcunnington | histo: actually i can hide the main mount, would a bind still work? | 01:59 |
| adamcunnington | although i'm finding that the 99-hide-disks.rules isn't working | 01:59 |
| histo | adamcunnington: yeah I don't know about the whole random part but sure. | 02:00 |
| Loshki | adamcunnington: yep, same solution as I proposed, except using bind instead of planting a link... | 02:00 |
| adamcunnington | Loshki: ok fair enough, my bad | 02:00 |
| adamcunnington | thanks guys, will look more into this tomorrow | 02:00 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: so create a partion in the free space 60GB in length then install ubuntu to the remaining freespace | 02:00 |

| Leeuwenhok | @histo Great idea. Can Ubuntu automatically set up the parts required on the free space? | 02:01 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: Not automagically. But it will walk you through it. Don't you already have ubuntu installed? | 02:02 |
| Leeuwenhok | Yes, but I just deleted all those "Ubuntu" parts. Should I revert? | 02:03 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: Why did you delete the ubuntu parts? | 02:04 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: you can resize and move partitions in gparted | 02:05 |
| Loshki | Leeuwenhok: I like to create 3 partitions, / and /home and swap. That way, only / needs to be touched during an upgrade. | 02:05 |
| Leeuwenhok | Because I want to move them to the right of the HDD. | 02:05 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: move them within gparted | 02:06 |
| Leeuwenhok | Does LiveUSB have gparted? | 02:06 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: if not you can apt-get install gparted | 02:06 |
| Leeuwenhok | I'd have to exit setup for that? | 02:06 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: No but I would revert your changes in setup if you want to try | 02:07 |
| Leeuwenhok | Great. | 02:07 |
| histo | Leeuwenhok: if you already starting writing to the drive, then it's going to be a no go. | 02:07 |
| Leeuwenhok | I'm out of the installation. Pressing "Try Ubuntu" now. | 02:08 |
| Leeuwenhok | Ubuntu already has gparted. So no need for apt-get, right? | 02:09 |

| Leeuwenhok | The installation window is stuck since I pressed Back. | 03:00 |
| meganerd | Riobe: 3d acceleration in VB can be tricky to get working | 03:00 |
| Leeuwenhok | Is there a kill command for the installation window? | 03:00 |
| Riobe | meganerd, Hypothetically I can output a game build from Unreal Engine 4 (new to it) that is supposed to run on Linux. I just can't run the UE4 dev tools in Linux. So I should be able to make a Linux build, put it on one of my secondary hard drives, then minimize the VM and run it on Ubuntu. I think. | 03:01 |
| meganerd | Riobe: if the choice is a VM or hardware for this, then I would put Windows directly on hardware. At work we did some Windows VMs in Xen for 3d accelerated drafting, we just went back to directly installing on hardware. | 03:01 |
| Riobe | The other members of the group are on Windows, so the Windows testing will happen there. | 03:01 |
| Riobe | meganerd, Would a dual boot count for this? | 03:02 |
| meganerd | Riobe: I am not sure about the tools. That may or may not work. I know that Maya was unhappy living in a VM. And yes dual booting is running Windows on the hardware :) | 03:02 |
| meganerd | Riobe: it might be doable, in my case looking back it has not been worth it. I would encourage you to actually try it. | 03:03 |
| bjv | Q: I am on 13.10 and have successfully "share internet connection" with a headless PC... how can I determine what IP has been assigned to the PC so that I can SSH into it? | 03:04 |
| brianch | e... buenas noches | 03:04 |
| cfhowlett | !es|brianch | 03:04 |
| ubottu | brianch: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 03:04 |
| Riobe | meganerd, To try what? VM? If you've had that experience with the 3D stuff then I'm unlikely to get different. And though I want to spend a lot of my time in code, to pull up the editor and game and check that it actually works...that'll all have 3D all over it. | 03:04 |
| function9 | bjv: ifconfig | 03:05 |
| Riobe | That definitely makes dual boot sound like a good option. | 03:05 |
| bjv | function9: but 10.42.0.1 is the IP of my Ubuntu machine | 03:05 |
| bjv | function9: how do I connect to the PC I am sharing with? | 03:05 |
| Riobe | meganerd, I'll just dev in one and live in the other when I'm not. Epic Games is supposed to be adding native Linux support to the editor when then can (on the roadmap and they've already started supporting it) so hopefully I won't have to go back to Windows much longer. | 03:06 |
| function9 | you need to login to the pc you are sharing with and use ifconfig | 03:06 |
| bjv | function9: when i try to connect to ifconfig address I get "ssh: connect to host 10.42.0.1 port 16022: Connection refused" | 03:06 |
| Riobe | Thanks for the advice. | 03:06 |
| bjv | function9: it is headless | 03:06 |
| alexi5 | hello | 03:06 |
| alexi5 | do you guys know of any opensource wiki software that can search the content of pdf files ? | 03:06 |
| function9 | bjv: firewall active on the remote box? Is the sshd running? | 03:07 |
| bjv | function9: sshd is running and i have the firewall off on both interfaces | 03:10 |
| bjv | function9: i can connect to the interface on the PC that is running it's own DHCP server | 03:10 |
| bjv | function9: is 10.42.0.1 supposed to be both my address and the address of the remote client i'm sharing with? | 03:11 |
| bjv | seems.. odd | 03:11 |
| bjv | function9: yeah, that cant be right. because when i ssh 10.42.0.1 -p 22 | 03:12 |
| bjv | function9: I connect to myself, the Ubuntu 13.10 box.. not the headless PC | 03:12 |
| bjv | i cant seem to be able to find the dnsmasq log file, i assume that is what NM is using to hand out DHCP leases to the box i'm sharing internet with | 03:13 |
| Leeuwenhok | I selected "Install alongside Windows 8". I wonder what it's doing right now. Where does it install with that selection? | 03:17 |
| Leeuwenhok | I'm off to sleep. This wasn't very helpful, you know. It's usually much easier when I do it by myself. It's truly said, " Too many cooks spoil the broth". | 03:19 |
| function9 | bjv: sorry i was out. Use static IP. DHCP is only good if you have a lot of pc's | 03:20 |
| andrej | apb1963 : I did that (and aditionally netstat -tnp), but didn't manage to capture the culprit in 24h | 03:22 |

| subb1 | hi all. | 03:50 |
| subb1 | dns resolution on my ubuntu 14.04 if failing frequently. I have dnsmasq-base installed. Discussions suggest to disable dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf. But when I rebooted the machine, dns resolution was not working at all ! How can I possible find a away around. Often, i had to use Google's NS and hardcode them into resolv.conf, which was a bad idea, but I had no other options in case of emergency work. | 03:53 |

| Riobe | histo, Make grep highlight results red, give it a file direcly instead of just cat something | grep, or find cpuinfo in /proc. Now I'm going to glance at what other files are in that directory. | 05:52 |

| zartoosh | hi Is there a site for ubuntu's grub related questions? thx | 06:25 |
| histo | zartoosh: what is the question? | 06:25 |
| meganerd | andrej: if you suspect something malicious, you are not going to find it by running commands inside of the compromised host (hiding is malware 101 these days, it does not matter what platform your pwned on). Inspect the traffic that it emits, then decide what to do with that host. | 06:26 |

| Riobe | I thought that Ubuntu had the root user disabled and so I couldn't open a console as it. When I opened the folder that virtualbox stores it's VM files in (from the open file dialog) and then ran terminal there to figure out where it was, a terminal as root came up. | 06:30 |
| Riobe | Does that mean virtualbox gave my root account a password and "enabled" it? | 06:30 |
| meganerd | Riobe: there is no password associated with root by default, you can always use sudo -i to get a root shell | 06:30 |
| Baribal_ | Hi. I just saw that dkms was removed. What's up with that? | 06:31 |
| Riobe | I was reading about that on the RootSudo page from the Ubuntu help. But I thought you couldn't actually get a root terminal without giving root itself a password. Am I wrong on that? | 06:31 |
| odsent | t | 06:31 |
| meganerd | Riobe: without a password you cannot login, but there are other mechanisms for getting a root session. Root is not actually disabled. | 06:31 |

| Riobe | meganerd, Oh, ok. I guess that's how I stumbled into it then. Thanks for clearing that up. | 06:31 |

| theadmin | odsent: Type "/query theadmin" and we can go from there | 06:33 |

| Riobe | meganerd, Sounds fair to me. Thanks again. | 06:36 |
| meganerd | Riobe: np | 06:36 |
| meganerd | Riobe: you also do not need to run VB as root (except to upgrade and install the extensions) | 06:36 |
| theadmin | meganerd: You don't need to run VB (Virtualbox, I suppose?) as root even for that | 06:38 |

| meganerd | Riobe: on the other hand, my audio production stack has been full Linux for close to a decade now. It is funny how some areas are better served by FLOSS than others. | 07:20 |
| meganerd | Riobe: so there is still hope :) | 07:21 |
| Gotolei | what exactly do i need to set audacity to to get it to record? it's set to alsa:pulse and it's still not getting anything | 07:21 |
| Riobe | meganerd, Here's hoping it happens before hell freezes then. :) Well, that's enough banging my head for one night. Toodles and thanks again. | 07:22 |
| meganerd | Riobe: np, I should get some sleep too | 07:22 |
| Symmetria | heh opensource has its advantages in some applications thats for sure, sadly, in certain other areas its lagged behind quite badly | 07:22 |
| Symmetria | video / graphic editing would be high on that list | 07:23 |
| === jibran is now known as jibran|afk | ||
| meganerd | Symmetria: inkscape is awesome. I don't do video so I can't say how those apps stack up. | 07:25 |
| Gotolei | there's a few decent ones for video, but sound? lolnope | 07:26 |
| Gotolei | another bonus of open-source is that it's near impossible to get help ._. | 07:27 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: I don't know what you mean by sound. There is a deep and sophisticated stack. | 07:28 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: there is also a ton of help, more than I have ever gotten from any vendor. The trick is knowing how to ask. | 07:28 |
| Gotolei | yup, and nothing can get into it so it seems | 07:28 |
| Gotolei | any tips, then? i've tried this irc about half a dozen times now and it's been useless every time ;) | 07:29 |
| Gotolei | over the course of a couple years | 07:29 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 07:29 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: it has been my bible for more than a decade | 07:29 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: the #ubuntustudio channel might be a better place if you like irc | 07:29 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: mailing lists are also pretty handy | 07:30 |
| Gotolei | does the studio channel shun people using vanilla ubuntu | 07:30 |
| Gotolei | eh, mailing lists. just as few replies, and takes a hundred times as long | 07:31 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: the biggest problem with audio is hardware. When it works it is awesome, but crappy hardware is such a pain. | 07:31 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: ubuntustudio is ubuntu. | 07:31 |
| Gotolei | ofc it is | 07:31 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: I have not been around much in the past couple of years, but I seem to remember them being a friendly bunch. | 07:32 |
| Gotolei | what hardware would be required for some form of audio recording | 07:33 |
| Gotolei | using a dell laptop atm | 07:34 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| meganerd | Gotolei: it depends on what you want to do. I have a vantec usb for quick and dirty stuff, an old tascam for higher quality, and in my desktop I have an RME 9652 paired with an RME ADI 8 DS | 07:36 |
| Gotolei | ideally it would be used for recording gameplay | 07:36 |
| Gotolei | the game in question is 15 years old, so cpu etc isn't an issue | 07:37 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | I think I'm good to go, thanks theadmin | 07:37 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: Oh, I was thinking more of the recording bands and such. | 07:37 |
| Gotolei | ah yeah this is internal sound | 07:38 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: the vantec (http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/439) will probably do the job (line out from existing soundcard for the game into this one) | 07:39 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: assuming that you can't just capture the audio directly | 07:39 |
| Gotolei | that's what i would like to do | 07:40 |
| Gotolei | maybe there's some wine settings that can be messed around with.. | 07:40 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: are you recording sound on the laptop but playing on a different computer? | 07:40 |
| Gotolei | no i'm playing on the laptop and recording on that same laptop | 07:40 |
| Gotolei | Simple Screen Recorder | 07:41 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: that is going beyond what I have done. What does the Source say for audio? A second sound card (via USB) would do what you want as a fallback. | 07:42 |
| Gotolei | Pulseaudio, Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog stereo | 07:44 |
| meganerd | Gotolei: and nothing else in the drop down? Did you unmute the input? | 07:46 |
| protoss1976 | /load .xchat2/budus.so | 07:46 |
| Gotolei | it has two drop-down options | 07:46 |
| Gotolei | top one has ALSA, Pulseaudio and JACK | 07:47 |
| Gotolei | currently Pulse | 07:47 |
| Gotolei | bottom only has two options, the aforementioned "monitor of [...]" and the same thing except without Monitor Of | 07:47 |
| hadifarnoud | I want to access an ubuntu machine on my network without having to remember the IP address. ie ubuntu.local | 07:48 |
| hadifarnoud | how can I do that? I have hostname and /etc/host setup already but other machines can't see that | 07:49 |
| meganerd | hadifarnoud: host file is only for that machine, you would need to create an entry in every computer's host file. That or setup DNS | 07:50 |

| Fuchs | gry: apt-cache policy gnome-session | 08:40 |
| gry | Fuchs, hi. | 08:40 |
| Fuchs | gry: if that isn't installed: install it. Apparently they did split up packages a bit. | 08:41 |
| Fuchs | Hai :) | 08:41 |
| gry | Fuchs, http://dpaste.com/1DQZGEA | 08:41 |
| gry | Fuchs, ok. | 08:41 |
| Fuchs | gry: yes, you want to install that | 08:41 |
| Fuchs | the silly little icon (god, I do hate lightdm) should be clickable then | 08:41 |

| gry | I apparently have a "debian-spamd" user in /etc/passwd, but I already uninstalled spamassassin. how come? | 08:44 |
| Fuchs | depending on how you uninstalled it (purge or not) the user might have been kept | 08:47 |
| Fuchs | depends a bit on the package uninstall hooks | 08:47 |
| ThKo | Good morning folks, just a short question…If I’ve running my website on server A (PHP website with MySQL DB) and have another server B with a configuration for Android SDK, Cordova etc. | 08:52 |
| ThKo | Is it possible to execute commands on server A, which has access to server B? For example „cordova build“? | 08:53 |
| ThKo | Or just another command „ls“. I mean if it’s in principle possible? | 08:53 |
| gry | Fuchs, hi. it works, but it is ugly. https://i.imgur.com/HH6b16U.png | 08:54 |
| gry | what did I miss? I don't even see a theme chooser in the settings. | 08:54 |
| k1l_ | gry: see if "gnome-tweak-tool" is the right one | 08:55 |
| gry | k1l_, will try; out of curiousity, is it builtin, i.e. is the distro shipped with it? | 08:55 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu made their own "unity-tweak-tool" out of the gnome one. maybe you need that if the changed the name | 08:55 |
| Fuchs | gry: yes, gnome is supposed to be a bit ugly ;) | 08:56 |
| gry | you'll notice that the window is not themed properly either | 08:56 |
| Fuchs | no, jokes aside, they want you to use the defaults (which is adwaita, basically, for now), but there is the tweak tool mentioned | 08:56 |
| gry | and how do I switch to adwaita? | 08:56 |
| Fuchs | gry: how did you install gnome? Given you also didn't have the session, you might be lacking some more packages | 08:56 |
| gry | I just installed gnome-shell and gnome-session, that's it. | 08:57 |

| avernos | hello, what is the channel for ubuntu server ? | 09:00 |
| cynicallemon | ubuntu-server | 09:00 |
| cynicallemon | or debian :) | 09:01 |
| bcvery | !server | avernos | 09:01 |
| ubottu | avernos: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 09:01 |
| Fuchs | gry: I think ubuntu-gnome-desktop would have been the meta package, maybe see what other packages that would have pulled | 09:04 |
| Fuchs | so you get $whateveryouneed | 09:04 |
| gry | the applications look ok now, but the top bar (panel) is still black | 09:04 |
| gry | ok | 09:04 |
| Fuchs | it is supposed to be black, I'm pretty sure | 09:05 |
| gry | oh | 09:05 |
| Fuchs | yeah, it is supposed to be black, say screenshots | 09:05 |
| gry | I'm 99% sure that's configurable | 09:05 |
| Fuchs | http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/attachments/03/04/Standard-Ubersicht-GNOME-Shell.png << | 09:05 |
| gry | as is a proper nice taskbar and things | 09:05 |
| Fuchs | gry: you might be disappointed there | 09:05 |
| Fuchs | gry: gnome3 is pretty much mostly unconfigurable (on purpose, this is a neutral statement). There is a classic mode which is closer to what you might know | 09:06 |
| Fuchs | with a grey panel, taskbar etc. pp. | 09:06 |
| Fuchs | maybe you want that. Or you get used to the new way you are supposed to use. | 09:06 |
| gry | it is /the/ gnu desktop, i'm sure it's in theory configurable, even if the distro made it hard; will do some reading i guess | 09:08 |
| cynicallemon | probably the best gnome3 trick is to install KDE or XFCE | 09:08 |

| histo | cynicallemon: gnome3 has it's places but not on my archaic hardware | 09:14 |
| cynicallemon | histo, they've made a mess of gedit IMHO | 09:15 |
| cynicallemon | histo, even on good hardware it's still so so | 09:16 |
| gry | Fuchs, i'm now trying to talk to the gnome folks over at their network to ask whether it's by design or not; i'll look for screenshots to find inspiration too | 09:17 |
| cynicallemon | histo, i prefer a DE that doesn't break stuff each time its upgraded | 09:17 |
| Fuchs | gry: okay, good luck | 09:17 |
| Fuchs | again, this is a completely neutral statement: it is not configurable. On purpose. They make it one big package, including the GTK theme, and they say "take it or leave it". Whether this is good is debatable (not in here and not with me, I suggest), but it is sort of how things are. So if that isn't what you are looking for, you might be happier with one of the alternatives (and there are plenty of these, mate, cinnamon, xfce ... just to name | 09:18 |
| Fuchs | GTK ones) | 09:18 |

| Guest78979 | hi I am using 14.04 on a x86_64 HP laptop. I've fglrx installed. I'm running both unity and kde on same system. By switching between them at LOGIN :) | 11:29 |
| JenniferB2 | ntz, sudo ./idea.sh results in No JDK found. Please validate either IDEA_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation. | 11:29 |
| JenniferB2 | whereas just ./idea.sh does not | 11:30 |
| Guest78979 | However, in Unity the theme of 'DROP-DOWN' menu has turned *dark* which makes it unable to read. How do I reset unity. | 11:30 |
| Guest78979 | Using unity-tweak-tool --reset doesn't solve problem permanently. It relapses to previous unreadable them. | 11:30 |
| Guest78979 | *theme | 11:30 |
| ntz | JenniferB2: 1) why do you run it with sudo for a gods sake ? | 11:30 |
| JenniferB2 | becuase | 11:31 |
| gry | because what? | 11:31 |
| JenniferB2 | that is no the question here | 11:31 |
| ntz | yes, it is | 11:31 |
| JenniferB2 | no, some software need that some time .. i want a solution that is applicaple always | 11:31 |
| JenniferB2 | why shouldn't sudo be able to run a java program? | 11:32 |
| JenniferB2 | I am loggin out | 11:32 |
| ntz | JenniferB2: you're are little linux puppy not knowing howto set env vars so please pay more attention to what we say .. don't run it with sudo and it will work | 11:32 |
| function9 | Guest78979: it is only recommended to have only one DE installed in your system. Failure to comply would/can cause consequences. Use vbox if you like to have different DE | 11:32 |
| Guest78979 | function9, true. | 11:33 |
| gry | what is vbox? | 11:33 |

| daniel31 | hi all. i'm trying to transfer some files to a windows computer using a newly-formatted fat32 usb disk but the filesystem wont mount as rw. I am the owner of the mountpoint and I have tried to fsck.. no luck | 11:34 |
| daniel31 | anyone? this is driving me up the wall! | 11:36 |
| ntz | daniel31: mount -vv -o uid=$your_uid,rw /what /where | 11:37 |
| ntz | daniel31: for fat is not ownership over mountpoint enough | 11:38 |
| JenniferB2 | did I miss something? | 11:39 |
| daniel31 | apparently not! | 11:39 |
| compdoc | everything! you missed everything! | 11:39 |
| JenniferB2 | daniel31, why is that apparant? | 11:39 |
| daniel31 | jennifer: wont convo. :-) ntz: when disk is mounted (as ro) it complains that its mounted already. when its unmounted it complains that the special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist :-S | 11:41 |
| daniel31 | anyone? I really dont understand why writing files to an empty (reformatted, under ubuntu) USB disk is such a problem for linux. OSX and windows can write to the same disk partition just fine! | 11:46 |
| gry | you did not describe what happens when you try to write | 11:46 |
| daniel31 | it says the destination is read only | 11:47 |

| adamcunnington_ | Last night (currently at work on windows), I was trying to copy some app files (within etc/lib/) to a memory stick so i can transfer to a new ubuntu installation. However, I was getting "cannot create symbolic link errors". However, it works without error when transferring to an external HDD. Why is this? Is it down to the format? | 11:49 |
| soon | For the record: I had problems mounting an encrypted USB memory and writing data to it from the local webserver (user: www-data). In the end, using ecryptfs to mount a folder in my ~ and chown to www-data and setting 'others' to noting ... I got what I wanted | 11:49 |
| gr33n7007h | daniel31, try sudo mount -o rw,remount -force /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ | 11:49 |
| daniel31 | gr33: thanks. but it still says the destination is readonly. | 11:50 |
| chrishawker | hello all, i am back. | 11:50 |
| adamcunnington_ | I want to hide windows partitions on my ubuntu installation, I created the file 99-hide-disks.rules in etc/udev/d.rules/ but i can still see them | 11:51 |
| daniel31 | ah | 11:52 |
| gry | <function9:#ubuntu> Guest78979: it is only recommended to have only one DE installed in your system. Failure to comply would/can cause consequences. Use vbox if you like to have different DE | 11:52 |
| gry | is this documented anywhere? | 11:53 |
| gry | i mean i know only 2 flavors are supported, gnome and unity, but i didnt know that more than one DE breaks things | 11:53 |
| daniel31 | the problem is with nautilus. after gr33's command forced the fs to remount as rw, root was owning the mount point. a simple chown fixed this. but nautilus falsely still claims the destrination is read only. any idea why? | 11:53 |
| Ben64 | gry: only 2 flavors are supported? since when? | 11:53 |
| gry | its something i experimentally did prove, but seeing it documented would be adorable | 11:53 |
| gry | Ben64, officially i think, unity and gnome. xfce and other things are only community support only | 11:55 |
| daniel31 | what is the difference between commiunity supported and officially supported for a project like ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| DJones | gry: I think one of the consequences are is that you can have issues with menus (Probably more so with other flavours rather than Unit)y where you can end up with apps from say gnome in the KDE menu system, so you end up with cumbersome menus, thats all I can think of anyway | 11:56 |
| NthDegree | some community supported stuff breaks Ubuntu | 11:56 |
| NthDegree | friend tried ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop | 11:56 |
| Ben64 | and yeah, having multiple doesn't break things or have "consequences" just you might have 3 different text editors in your menu and that may bother you | 11:56 |
| gry | NthDegree, i installed xubuntu-desktop and gnome-shell. now compose key no longer works when i log in to xfce. | 11:57 |
| NthDegree | Ben64: he did have stuff break. His boot time was ridiculous slow because it prefetched all desktop assets | 11:57 |
| daniel31 | gr33: the command didnt work. the fs is still ro. | 11:57 |
| Ben64 | NthDegree: i find that unlikely | 11:57 |
| NthDegree | Ben64: he also had Mint stuff | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | well theres your problem | 11:58 |
| NthDegree | Ben64: it killed mdm | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | mint does all sorts of wacky stuff, thats why they have their own support channel | 11:58 |
| function9 | gry: i read it somewhere online, I've been a lot of researching from the kernel bug of systemd_udev to plymouth and nvidia/ati compatability issues. I read so much, my mind is cluttered now, and I have no idea how I stumbled on that. sorry :( | 11:59 |
| gry | function9, it's ok, you encouraged some insight about few things from other people. | 11:59 |
| gry | Ben64, you i think didn't tell what is actually supported. you disagreed but didn't tell me your view. unless i missed it | 12:00 |

| NthDegree | gry we have no Kubuntu support any more, lubuntu was never official | 12:01 |
| gry | NthDegree, and xubuntu support? | 12:01 |
| NthDegree | gry: not sure | 12:02 |
| Ben64 | where is this support you're getting | 12:02 |
| Ben64 | because they're all supported in here | 12:02 |
| gry | Ben64, i am referring to the paid support options (i know about irc channels of those distros which are helpful, too) | 12:02 |
| daniel31 | there are paid support options? | 12:02 |
| gry | also nice to know that they're supported here, i didn't know that | 12:02 |

| retrosenator | I just did apt-get install libcurl-nss-dev and it uninstalled wine | 12:03 |

| gry | retrosenator, the log path i gave would be a first thing i would read | 12:07 |

| adamcunnington__ | Hi, I want to connect to my home pc (which runs remina) from work which is windows and uses remote desktop connection program. What do I need to make this work? | 13:26 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: open the correct firewall ports and connect to it - that simple | 13:27 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | I have this question about /etc/hosts when i go to my "domain" i get this error "502 Bad Gateway Host Not Found or connection failed" 127.0.0.1 waffles.. everytime i type in waffles it doesnt work only when i type 127.0.0.1 | 13:27 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: is the correct port for remmina 5900? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: what does the doucmentation say ? | 13:28 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: can't find it, this was from a forum that i got 5900 | 13:28 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: if i'm connecting to it FROM work, do i only need to open the port on my home pc or will the port need to be open at work too? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | GuyThatNeedsHelp sounds like it's not listening on that ip address | 13:28 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: both home and work | 13:28 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | ikonia: what? | 13:29 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: oh, no way i'm going to be able to open a port at work | 13:29 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | i want waffles not 127.0.0.1 | 13:29 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: it's very doubtful any corperation will allow that | 13:30 |
| ikonia | GuyThatNeedsHelp "I want waffles" ? what does this mean ? | 13:30 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: sucks :| | 13:30 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: yet teamviewer works just fine | 13:30 |
| jess44 | hi, im having trouble getting hashcat to do bruteforcing | 13:30 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: then you maybe able to open the right port if your work allows that | 13:30 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: do you mean change the port that remina listens on to what is opened at work? | 13:31 |
| jess44 | ? | 13:31 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: and then just open that port at home? | 13:31 |
| Pici | jess44: I'm sorry, thats not something that we provide support for in this channel. | 13:31 |
| jess44 | where ? | 13:31 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: that's up to you how to approach it | 13:31 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: i'm asking if that would work in theory. | 13:31 |
| jess44 | where can i find support ? | 13:31 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: I don't know your work network so can't say | 13:31 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: nothing to do with work - i'm asking if in theory, a port is open at work, can i change the port remmina listens to and then open that port at home | 13:32 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | instead of typing just localhost or 127.0.0.1 in my browser for the apache thingy i went into /etc/hosts and changed the word localhost then i was able to type waffles in my browsers url and see my work | 13:32 |
| Pici | jess44: If they have a support channel, or if there is a security channel around. | 13:32 |
| jess44 | ???? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__ it is to do with work | 13:32 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | and now i get an error | 13:32 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: I don't know your works network, I don't know if it does packet inspection, or anything like that | 13:32 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: that's not what my question asked, you can read "if in theory, a port is open at work" to mean "the port is open at work" | 13:33 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: can you read "in theory doesn't matter" | 13:33 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: what matters is reality | 13:33 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: course it matters - i was the one who asked the question! | 13:33 |
| ikonia | and your works network is the key | 13:33 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: i was asking about a theoretical situation, as explicated by the inclusion of "in theory". If i was asking about reality, that would have been explicitly omitted as previously. I was creating a theoretical situation to bring understanding which could then be applied to solving the real problem systematically | 13:34 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__ in theory matters not to your situation | 13:34 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: your works network is factual and has rules/restrictions, thats what matters | 13:34 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: i'll decide what does and doesn't matter to my own systems of learning and understanding | 13:34 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: then you should be able to know the answer to your own question if you are skilled enough to judge what matters/doesn't matter | 13:35 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: i'm not at solving the problem stage, i'm at understanding the problem stage | 13:35 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: sorry. done. thanks though. | 13:35 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: the problem is your ports are blocked | 13:35 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: the entire point is some other ports are *probably* open | 13:35 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: as we use remote desktop software at work over WAN | 13:35 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: right, and then it goes to reality does your network do things like packet inspection, | 13:36 |
| ikonia | which is what I said at the start | 13:36 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: i know exactly what you meant. My point was "if those things didn't apply, would it work". If you had responses yes, then i gain understanding, i can then find out if those restrictions do/don't apply by asking IT at work | 13:36 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: but you imposed your method of disecting and understanding on my process and now we're having this verbose discussion | 13:36 |
| ikonia | adamcunnington__: you can connect to any ports that are open | 13:37 |
| ikonia | that is basic IP networking | 13:37 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: that was the answer to the "in theory" question | 13:37 |
| ikonia | if a port is open can I connect to a daemon listening on it "sure" | 13:37 |
| adamcunnington__ | ikonia: basic is a relative term to one's understanding - it was that which i was trying to clarify. On earth, ground is required before you can jump | 13:37 |

| nith1210 | chrs_: are you sshing into the vnc server or is it a second hop? | 14:04 |
| nith1210 | chrs_: in your ssh command, the "REMOTEHOST" is what resolves on the other side of the ssh tunnel; you may want -L localhost:5901:localhost:5901 | 14:05 |
| * migue | 14:05 | |
| TBotNik | nith1210: Not sure where that came from. When installing Gedit, got a message to run "apt-get upgrade", did so and then all these errors. Evidently the "LiveDVD" I ran original install from had issues, since this is new install. | 14:05 |

| nith1210 | TBotNik: well your output kind of hints that you have a custom version of libjpeg8 (8d-1); Because of this, you're dependencies are all thrown out of wack. | 14:06 |
| chrs_ | nith1210: i am sshing into the vnc server | 14:07 |
| chrs_ | nith1210: tried what you said, it worked. thanks | 14:07 |
| nith1210 | TBotNik: that's compounded by the fact that you're getting the "packages cannot be authenticated". | 14:07 |

| leni | From the output, it seems a self-compile | 14:08 |
| nith1210 | leni: ubuntu's version of libjpeg8 will always contain the word "ubuntu" due to their versioning standards. TBotNik's version of libjpeg8:i386 is 8d-1 | 14:08 |

| DJones | arnuld: Thats right, its a live dvd image | 14:12 |

| jessid | hello guys, I have being having lots of troubles trying to share muy internet connection.... this is what i want: I am connected via eternet to the internet and I have a wifi card; this is the one I want to use to share. I have followed https://tumutanzi.com/archives/3293 but the "client" never gets connected. I guess this has something to do dhcp... some help, please????? thanks in advance... | 14:12 |
| DJones | YOu can put it on a USB stick if you'd prefer, the image is too big to fit on a cd now, you can use the minimal install iso, but that will download most packages from the internet during the install | 14:13 |
| DJones | !minimal | arnuld | 14:13 |
| ubottu | arnuld: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:13 |
| DJones | arnuld: THere used to be an alternate install iso, but that was discontinued quite a few releases back | 14:13 |

| Morgawr | hello, I have a fairly specific question.. I need to replace my compiz instance within a script and I can do that with compiz --replace &, however I noticed that after replacing it, all the newly spawned applications from unity retain the same (modified) environment variables as the script that replaced compiz | 14:15 |
| Pici | bugtraq: you need to ask a question first. | 14:15 |
| arnuld | DJones: well, I wanted most packages on DVD, not through net because I have a is very small bandwidth connection | 14:15 |
| bugtraq | how install vrtualbox on bugtraq?? | 14:15 |
| Morgawr | and this has modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH and some other variables that I don't want to be system-wide, is there a way to make compiz spawn a completely new (like after login) environment? | 14:15 |
| Pici | bugtraq: what is "bugtraq"? | 14:15 |
| bugtraq | http://www.bugtraq-team.com/ | 14:16 |
| Morgawr | mostly, I'm looking for a way to start a bash session with the same environment variables as the default compiz would have when the system boots up | 14:17 |
| Morgawr | is it possible? | 14:17 |
| DJones | arnuld: There's only really three iso's now, the minimal, live desktop or server iso's, there used to be a seperate alternate install with a text based installer and a full dvd iso with a lot of language packs (that was about 4Gb in size) | 14:17 |
| Pici | bugtraq: That is not a supported variant of Ubuntu, you will need to use their support resources for help. | 14:17 |
| Morgawr | I tried using bash --login or env -i and then bash --login but it does not work (for example $HOME and $DISPLAY are unset) | 14:17 |
| bugtraq | http://www.bugtraq-team.com/downloads support | 14:17 |

| arnuld | is GNOME DVD recommended to install ? I mean without any install issues or special configurations ? | 14:18 |
| bugtraq | karnel same | 14:18 |
| Pici | bugtraq: Thats fine, but seeing as it isn't Ubuntu, we can't support it. There is no telling what changes they have made to it. You can ask in ##linux | 14:18 |
| bugtraq | example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G7_t9OilDg | 14:19 |

| Pici | !derivatives | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 14:19 |
| nith1210 | TBotNik: First, you should do a sudo apt-get update | 14:19 |
| DJones | bugtraq: This channel only supports the offical derivatives of Ubuntu, bugtraq isn't supported here, you'll need to ask their own support network | 14:19 |

| arnuld | "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" -- is this the GNOME package name ? | 14:22 |
| Morgawr | can anybody help me? I'm having a hard time figuring out the environment to spawn a clean compiz, because if I replace it normally all the exported env variables of that session override the rest of the session | 14:22 |
| Morgawr | I just want to spawn a bash shell with only the default env variables (as it is straight out of boot) | 14:22 |
| Morgawr | (and no, --login does not do that) | 14:22 |
| nith1210 | Morgawr: env -i bash will do something similar, is that what you're looking for? | 14:23 |
| Morgawr | nith1210: no, env -i will clear all the environment variables | 14:23 |
| Morgawr | if I do env -i bash -l then I get a mostly "clean" bash shell, but it will have $HOME and $DISPLAY unset and who knows what else | 14:23 |
| Morgawr | and this breaks compiz | 14:24 |
| Morgawr | and the rest of the stack | 14:24 |
| philinux | Is it safe to Add the following line in /etc/pam.d/polkit-1: session optional pam_xauth.so to get pkexec to work with gui apps | 14:24 |
| Morgawr | so.. I gues nobody knows :( | 14:28 |
| bcvery | Morgawr, have you tried asking in #compiz too? | 14:28 |
| Morgawr | bcvery: this is mostly a bash question, I also asked in ##linux, I'll try asking in #compiz though, thanks | 14:28 |
| nith1210 | Morgawr: What's this for? | 14:29 |
| Morgawr | I have a script that needs to kill compiz for a while and then restart it, but this script is running with modified env variables and restarting compiz with these new variables propagates them to the whole unity environment | 14:29 |
| Morgawr | this means that if I open a new terminal after restarting compiz it will inherit the other env variables that I definitely not want | 14:29 |
| Morgawr | (so, if I break the $PATH and then restart compiz, $PATH will be broken in my whole system) | 14:30 |
| bezi | elementaryos | 14:31 |
| nith1210 | Morgawr: So you're saying that after restarting compiz the ENV that compiz is run with propogates to new terminals/processes? | 14:31 |
| Morgawr | nith1210: yes | 14:32 |

| leni | @apeoid, Hmmm...what have you noticed that makes you say that?? | 15:31 |
| apeoid | leni, I started searching pieces of the error and found a pgAdmin 1.18.1 bug page... I don't even know what I was looking at. it said unstable on it. however, when I looked it up it showed pgadmin 1.18.1 was stable | 15:33 |
| apeoid | I think. I don't even know. | 15:33 |
| apeoid | when I go to the ubuntu software center it shows postgresql and pgadmin | 15:34 |
| === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga | ||
| apeoid | oh software center shows all your repositories I guess... nevermind | 15:35 |
| leni | @apeoid, Hmmm...you can use the mailing list for problems. It is a pity they do not have a fully fledged forum. But your problem may be legit | 15:35 |
| apeoid | ubuntu GIS repositories are really old | 15:35 |
| apeoid | I was hoping to use current software | 15:35 |
| leni | @apeoid, the pgAdmin mailing list | 15:35 |
| leni | how are you installing the pgAdmin | 15:36 |
| apeoid | it comes with postgresql | 15:36 |
| leni | if what's in the repositories is old, then you have to build it yourself from source | 15:36 |
| TBotNik | nith1210: Most are using repos, but I write BASH scripts for most of my installs, so I have them all documented and to be consistant accross computers, put the scripts on my dropbox, but dropbox is not installing on this computer due to the dependency issues. | 15:36 |
| apeoid | leni is that unusual? | 15:37 |
| apeoid | leni, or rather, something I should get used to? | 15:37 |
| leni | for me, nope ;-) | 15:37 |
| leni | And yes, the sooner you get used to it the better | 15:37 |
| leni | When you Google pgAdmin, it seems to be separate from postresql | 15:38 |
| nith1210 | TBotNik: On line 60 you explicity include the debian contrib repository; that'll confuse lots of things. | 15:38 |
| leni | So I think pgAdmin is a separate package from postgresql | 15:38 |
| Pici | TBotNik: It is one thing to use a third party repository that provides both Ubuntu and Debian agnostic packages in the same path. It is quite another to specify debian's actual repositories. | 15:38 |
| apeoid | can I see which repsitory the software came from? | 15:39 |
| Pici | apeoid: apt-cache policy packagename | 15:39 |
| leni | @apeoid, You simply have to look for GUI another front end if pgAdmin is not being maintained in a way you can keep up with | 15:39 |
| TBotNik | nith1210: Can comment it out to get past these installs but will have to pull it back in for final round of installs which includes the developers tool set. | 15:39 |
| killer | Hey , where can I vie top downloaded apps in ubuntu software center , both free or paid | 15:39 |

| ActionParsnip | Jeffrey_f: sudo apt-get -f install | 15:41 |
| nith1210 | TBotNik: do you use synaptic? | 15:41 |
| apeoid | ActionParsnip, no. pgAdmin III is crashing on a vital tool... when I click the plugin button it says: ../src/common/menucmn.cpp(715): assert "!IsAttached()" failed in SetInvokingWindow(): menus attached to menu bar can't have invoking window | 15:42 |

| ActionParsnip | apeoid: if you can name the package name https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=packagenamehere you may find a PPA with a newer version | 15:43 |
| apeoid | I let it send the error report | 15:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Jeffrey_f: sounds like a plan | 15:47 |
| leni | A bug report is a more detailed (and personal) statement of the problem, conditions under which it occurred and how it can be replicated | 15:47 |

| nith1210 | lol sl; I'm keeping it. | 15:53 |
| leni | @apeoid, no. Mixing up source and distro packages has caused quite a few headaches that last long after installation into everyday use of the program. I think its better you remove everything first, just to be on the safe side. | 15:55 |
| annihilator009 | what else can i do with ubuntu ternimal? | 15:55 |

| ActionParsnip | jessid: sounds like a bad guide | 17:18 |
| VulcanRidr | pici: as far back as 12.04. We're slowly staging to the new lts. | 17:18 |
| ResupineEarth | yes i have extra disk space in windows that i wanted to add. | 17:18 |
| Foxtrot88 | sorry for my english, but it's a kind of difficult to me try to explain all the problems i already have with the device i put on mi computer, and i don't wanna make you feel like i'm wasting your time. :( | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jessid: what does the Ethernet on the system you would like to act as a wifi hotsport, connect to? | 17:19 |
| ResupineEarth | thanks daftykins | 17:19 |
| LonelyDanbo | I'm using the "close" option from Ubuntu's toolbar and it's not even saying "this app won't close. want us to close it anyway?" | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Foxtrot88: if you cannot run the commands we give to get details, then apply the fixes as we give them it's not very useful | 17:19 |
| daftykins | ResupineEarth: that's not very easy, as any space you would make in your Windows install - could only be used by moving and resizing the ubuntu partitions too, so it's a big mess really. | 17:19 |
| VulcanRidr | Pici: Like to see a backport. The patch applies cleanly, we would just rather have it in the mainstream instead of having to recompile and roll and manage that package ourselves. | 17:20 |
| michaelaguiar | What’s the best way to setup SFTP on a server, and only allow the user to access their site directory? | 17:20 |
| daftykins | ResupineEarth: are you running out of space already? use http://paste.ubuntu.com to share the terminal output of "df -h" if you can. | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | michaelaguiar: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 17:20 |
| Foxtrot88 | ok, so i need to reconnect here when i get home right? | 17:20 |
| Foxtrot88 | then i can ask | 17:20 |
| michaelaguiar | openssh-server will allow me to lock users to a specific directory? | 17:20 |
| michaelaguiar | ActionParsnip: do you know of a good guide to use? | 17:20 |
| ResupineEarth | ok maybe i will someday do a full reinstall of Ubuntu thanks anyway daftykins. I still have 28gb left but was just worried i will try cheers. | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | michaelaguiar: they will have the same access they have as their user, you can add options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to jail them to $HOME | 17:20 |
| LonelyDanbo | what do they call it? force close program? | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | LonelyDanbo: xkill allows you to click an application and close it | 17:21 |
| michaelaguiar | ActionParsnip: Well I don’t want to jail them to their home directory, but rather /var/www/usersite.com/ | 17:21 |
| michaelaguiar | I have multiple sites in www, and I want to jail users to their own site | 17:21 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: i've been through this attempted setup but it all gets pretty messy, are you sure you really must provide people with their own access to webspace? | 17:22 |
| === mikesplain is now known as mikespla_ | ||
| michaelaguiar | daftykins: Yea, I don’t NEED sftp, but would prefer it do to security. Regular ftp would work I guess | 17:22 |
| michaelaguiar | I just have multiple users, and I dont want them getting into other people’s sites, want to know the best way to handle it | 17:22 |
| ResupineEarth | Thanks daftkins i pasted the info | 17:22 |
| michaelaguiar | The user doesn’t even need ssh access, just ftp | 17:22 |
| LonelyDanbo | ActionParsnip, thank you. | 17:23 |
| daftykins | ResupineEarth: you'd need to share the link the address bar has by pasting it into here now so we can see | 17:23 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: do you already have apache only running each site as the username that it belongs to? | 17:24 |
| ResupineEarth | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7766669/ sorry here it is | 17:24 |
| LonelyDanbo | would a USB headset's mic be in alsamixer? I only see front and rear mic which is on my case. | 17:25 |
| Pici | VulcanRidr: I suggest at least logging a bug for this in Ubuntu. I'm going to see if I can find someone to look at that CVE. | 17:25 |
| daftykins | ResupineEarth: that's a pretty tiny disk! :) yeah i think you'd want to be looking at buying another way before you run out of space there | 17:25 |
| michaelaguiar | daftykins: The permissions are set to use www-data as the owner / group for all of them. | 17:25 |
| VulcanRidr | Pici: Will do. It's a 12 year old cve...:) | 17:25 |
| VulcanRidr | Off to launchpad. | 17:26 |
| ResupineEarth | Yes I may have to seriously think about it thanks daftykins | 17:26 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: yeah so once you gave someone access, they could upload malicious PHP and gain a shell as www-data and take over all other sites. | 17:26 |
| michaelaguiar | daftykins: ah I gotcha. So what do you recommend? | 17:26 |
| Pici | VulcanRidr: that actual commit is from 2013 though. | 17:27 |
| VulcanRidr | True. | 17:27 |
| vins | /EXEC rm -vf /home/vins/.xchat2/buduscript/tmp/budus_XDCC_3422.query | 17:28 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: well first off, this entire topic falls under web admin so it's beyond the scope of this channel really. #ubuntu-server or an apache channel if they exist would be more relevant. it was a long time ago, but ultimately i think i got something running using some kind of apache module that allowed each site config file to specify a username for execution, which meant the apache processes ran as that user. then i set their h | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | vins: why force? | 17:29 |
| vins | hello everybodies | 17:29 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: i never cracked it 100% but a combination of executing as the user, who is chroot'd and maybe considering FTP or changing the user's default shell to scponly nearly got there :) | 17:30 |
| championofcyrodi | can someone help me with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server | 17:31 |
| daftykins | championofcyrodi: you need to be more specific | 17:31 |
| championofcyrodi | I am using method 2 for the client configuration (01proxy) and all of the fetches fail with apt-cacher offline 503 service not available: | 17:32 |
| championofcyrodi | however port 3142 is open and the apt-cacher daemon is listening on it | 17:32 |
| michaelaguiar | daftykins: Hmm, so if I change the permissions to a site directory to that user, how do I do it in a way that PHP can still do what it needs to, in order for the sites / apps to work properly? | 17:33 |
| michaelaguiar | daftykins: but not have access to do anything crazy | 17:33 |
| daftykins | michaelaguiar: the apache instance running as that username will be executing the PHP module as that user too, so it will work fine | 17:34 |
| championofcyrodi | Ooo.. I think I got it. I had mistakenly enabled 'offline mode' thinking that if the ISP connection was down in the future, it would use cached data. However, it doesnt seem to work at all if there is nothing cached. I guess you only enable offline mode when you intend for the apt-cacher to always be offline and are doing manual updates to the archives. | 17:38 |
| championofcyrodi | So does using apt-cacher as an apt proxy for the client still cache the packages on the apt-cacher host? | 17:39 |
| championofcyrodi | So that If i install updates on machine 1, then machine 2,3,4... would be fetching their packages from the apt-cacher on my LAN? Or is it just acting as a proxy and not caching at all? | 17:40 |
| championofcyrodi | (provided machines 1,2,3,4... all have the proxy enabled) | 17:40 |
| daftykins | never used it so i can't comment sadly | 17:40 |
| daftykins | i handle that scenario by scp'ing the debs between hosts | 17:41 |
| daftykins | but i only have two :D i can see how n+ would get very annoying | 17:41 |
| saxgeek | I know this isn't an Ubuntu question specifically, but I don't know where to ask this. Is there a boot manager that can boot USB drives on a computer whose BIOS doesn't support it. When I tried PLOP, my flash drive appeared read-only to the OS and I couldn't save any files to the disk. | 17:46 |
| daftykins | saxgeek: what's the main task you're trying to achieve? | 17:47 |
| saxgeek | Run Puppy Linux on that computer from a USB flash drive. | 17:48 |
| daftykins | saxgeek: so you got as far as using it but couldn't save... | 17:49 |
| daftykins | burn a DVD? :) | 17:49 |
| daftykins | i'm afraid you're right that that's beyond the scope of the channel | 17:49 |
| saxgeek | On all my other computers, I can save my documents and stuff to folders on the root of the drive, but when I use PLOP on that computer, I get error messages about the drive being read-only. | 17:50 |
| daftykins | yeah, not an ubuntu program so can't comment. | 17:50 |
| saxgeek | daftykins: Do you know where I could ask about that? | 17:51 |
| daftykins | #linux maybe | 17:52 |
| daftykins | but if you're pulling data, why not pull the disk? | 17:52 |

| taeric | I'm assuming it is not the best experience, but curious on exactly what makes it terrible. | 18:08 |
| holstein | taeric: not sure if they are even in the main repos.. | 18:08 |
| taeric | I couldn't find them last I looked. And... apologies, I didn't see the #ubuntu-touch channel | 18:09 |

| Grmlg | an/can | 18:52 |
| kaibutsu | skilz, take a look at a software called Docky... | 18:52 |
| kaibutsu | Grmlg, can you explain to me how to do so, please? | 18:53 |
| kaibutsu | btw, i'm on the live image since i can't use the installed version like i said. can't download xchat on the guest section either | 18:53 |
| Grmlg | kaibutsu: either you copy it manually to the website at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or you can install pastebinit and use it like "cat .xsession-errors | pastebinit | 18:54 |
| Grmlg | i see | 18:54 |
| Grmlg | you need to mount that partition then | 18:54 |
| Grmlg | not that you paste the file from your livecd :) | 18:54 |
| kaibutsu | ok. i have it mounted. the "/" partition. how can i paste it to you this information? | 18:55 |
| Grmlg | walk into your user home by using "cd" and "ls" | 18:56 |
| Grmlg | should be <mountpoint>/home/<user> | 18:56 |
| Grmlg | and see if the file .xsession-errors is there | 18:57 |
| kaibutsu | Grmlg, ooooh... i forgot to mention it... i come from Mint and i installed the system, / , in a separate partition while keeping my /home partition. so this might be it? | 18:57 |
| Grmlg | oh yes | 18:57 |
| Grmlg | at least if you used the same username | 18:58 |
| kaibutsu | i actualy did. "cx61" on both. the only folder on this partition is that one | 18:58 |
| kaibutsu | and ofc, inside there are the others like videos, downloads, etc | 18:58 |
| Grmlg | best would be to have 2 seperate user accounts for mint and ubuntu | 18:59 |
| Grmlg | or did you wipe out mint and just kept /home? | 18:59 |
| kaibutsu | exactly. i have a 25gb partition for the "/" which was wiped, i have no OS right now besides this poor instalation of ubuntu. and then a bigger partition which is /home | 19:00 |
| Grmlg | kaibutsu: then you could possibly fix the problem by deleting all those dot files, those that start with a "." because in these are configuration options stored | 19:01 |
| kaibutsu | Grmlg, and then reinstall the system? | 19:02 |
| Grmlg | reinstallation should not be necessary, in my opinion | 19:02 |
| kaibutsu | i see. how can i find these files? they are hidden right? | 19:02 |
| Grmlg | or hang on | 19:02 |
| Grmlg | another method would be to rename the existing user directory and create a new one for your user. and then copy the data from there | 19:03 |
| TBotNik | All: End of day for me, Dr Appointment! Bye y'all | 19:03 |
| kaibutsu | oh, yeah, ofc | 19:03 |
| kaibutsu | it makes sense hehe | 19:03 |
| Grmlg | kaibutsu: depends which you prefer | 19:03 |
| kaibutsu | i think that should be easier for a newbie like me | 19:04 |
| kaibutsu | i'll also reinstall with a different user. it takes like 5 min here | 19:04 |
| kaibutsu | thx a lot, mate... | 19:04 |

| Grmlg | skilz: are you maybe looking for something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock | 19:12 |
| skilz | Yes | 19:12 |
| skilz | Grmlg, Will that take over the unity dock? | 19:12 |
| Grmlg | i think so, yes | 19:13 |
| coventry | I just plugged in a GPU which I want to use for scientific computation. The graphics card on my MoBo is fine for display. However, when I booted it up, ubuntu said there's something wrong with my graphics config. I'm now in terminal mode. How can I reconfigure X so that it uses the built-in graphics card? | 19:15 |
| skilz | Grmlg, So how do I stop unity dock? | 19:15 |
| Grmlg | coventry: you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:16 |
| Grmlg | skilz: should be expained on that website i linked you | 19:16 |
| Grmlg | coventry: or create a new one if no such file exists | 19:17 |
| skilz | Whereis xorg.conf? | 19:17 |
| coventry | Grmlg: Wow, back to the naughties, huh? There is an xorg.conf.failsafe. I guess I could try copying that across... | 19:17 |
| Grmlg | yeah | 19:18 |
| chrirc | hi... i have 32 gigabytes of ram and i don't use hibernate. Do i really need a swap partition? | 19:18 |
| ObrienDave | chrirc, no not really | 19:18 |
| coventry | Grmlg: Thanks, that seems to be working... How can I determine which graphics card is being used? I would like to keep the GPU free of graphics work. | 19:18 |
| coventry | Grmlg: Actually, never mind. Must be the built-in. | 19:19 |
| chrirc | do you recommend a separate home partition or not? | 19:19 |
| Grmlg | coventry: i think when you give lspci verbosity like "lspci -vv" it should tell you the ID | 19:20 |
| ObrienDave | chrirc, I have a separate home partition. seems to work ok | 19:20 |
| ObrienDave | chrirc, i have found a few programs that install under the root partition, really ate up root space | 19:22 |

| ObrienDave | grsync is | 19:37 |
| chrirc | do you think it is just better to copy and paste the /home folder? | 19:38 |
| ObrienDave | chrirc, you can, but grsync compares files and only sends what changes. after the initial backup, it is fairly quick to backup | 19:40 |

| Mace268_ | Hello, I am installing a new SSD into my system and want to do a fresh install of 14.04. Is there a guide somewhere that will inform me on what files/dirs to backup in order to preserve my settings? | 21:32 |
| reisio | Mace268_: yeah... | 21:32 |
| mjayk | Mace268_: by settings are you refering to user specific settings | 21:32 |
| reisio | I can never remember the factoid name, 'cause they changed it I think | 21:32 |
| Mace268_ | yes. software sources, crontab, apache, stuff like that. | 21:33 |
| Mace268_ | so i guess that would be user and system settings. | 21:34 |
| reisio | Mace268_: I would just rsync the data over to the new drive, myself | 21:35 |
| reisio | Mace268_: then re-install GRUB | 21:35 |
| Mace268_ | I do have a full duplicity backup as well, i guess I could just selectively restore what I need as I need it? | 21:36 |
| reisio | why restore when you can just copy it over... | 21:36 |
| mjayk | Mace268_: if you are installing to a new ssd cant you just have two installs at once then swap the bits over as and when you need them | 21:37 |
| Mace268_ | reisio, for a LTS install I'd rather have a fresh install. I've been upgrading since 13.04 | 21:37 |
| reisio | Mace268_: why is that? | 21:37 |
| Mace268_ | Just from recommendations that I've seen in the past. | 21:38 |
| * reisio shrugs | 21:38 | |
| Mace268_ | Thanks reisio and mjayk, I'll take everything into consideration. Have a good one :) | 21:40 |
| Emperor_Earth | does "nano" and "cat" encode files differently? following this tut: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-automatic-deployment-with-git-with-a-vps and "sudo cat > post-receive" and "cat > post-receive" doesn't work, so i "sudo nano post-receive" instead | 21:41 |

| fridaynext | Anyone here switch from using OSX as their main OS to Ubuntu? (recently) | 21:48 |
| coventry | How can I boot an ubuntu 12.04 machine with FDE into recovery mode? Holding down shift before and after the passphrase challenge is just leading to a blank screen. | 21:50 |
| ikonia | coventry: FDE ? | 21:50 |
| ikonia | ahhh encryption | 21:50 |
| coventry | full-disk enycrption | 21:50 |
| ikonia | coventry: is it even possible ? | 21:51 |
| ikonia | isn't the decrypt after the initial boot | 21:51 |
| ikonia | coventry: can you get the grub menu up at all ? | 21:51 |
| coventry | No, the grub menu doesn't appear either, when I hold down shift. I believe that would suffice to get me in, though. | 21:52 |
| ikonia | not sure how it would work to be honest | 21:52 |
| ikonia | just trying to think it through in my head, never put any thought into it before | 21:52 |
| sketchhh | What type of text files are text files in Ubuntu? | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | is it .txt? | 21:53 |
| Jeffrey_f | kal: I have the info, but hold on | 21:53 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: the extension means nothing | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | To use with a wildcard in the command line? | 21:53 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: any file can be a text file | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | Ohh, okay, so how would I identify it in the command line? | 21:53 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: what are you trying to do ? | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | Like ~/Desktop/*jpg | 21:53 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: what are you actually trying to do | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | That's an image3. | 21:53 |
| sketchhh | Move all text files from my desktop to another folder in the command line. | 21:54 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: what extension did you create them with ? | 21:54 |
| sketchhh | not sure, it says type: plaintext document (text/plain) | 21:54 |
| sketchhh | used gedit | 21:54 |
| ikonia | ls -la ~/Desktop | 21:55 |
| ikonia | take a look | 21:55 |
| ikonia | or just use the gui | 21:55 |
| sketchhh | oh nice | 21:55 |
| sketchhh | for some reason still not seeing an indication as to what type of file extension it would be | 21:56 |
| sketchhh | even with the long-listing | 21:56 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: what is the name of the file | 21:56 |
| ikonia | exactly as you see it in ls -la | 21:56 |
| sketchhh | like one says | 21:56 |
| sketchhh | "Rent" | 21:56 |
| sketchhh | another says "fooly cooly" | 21:56 |
| eto | where can one read about state of systemd as default ubuntu init, or some kind of roadmap? | 21:56 |
| ikonia | su - | 21:57 |
| ikonia | r%f24C41 | 21:57 |
| ikonia | then thats what the file name is | 21:57 |
| ikonia | the file name is "Rent" | 21:57 |
| ikonia | no extension | 21:57 |
| sketchhh | lik ein windows | 22:00 |
| sketchhh | like in windows* | 22:00 |
| sketchhh | a text file is document.txt | 22:00 |
| dman777_alter | is cassandra db not available in apt-get? | 22:00 |
| sketchhh | What would it be in Ubuntu? | 22:00 |
| bekks | sketchhh: Even in Windows file extension mean nothing. | 22:00 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: it doesn't work like that | 22:01 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: there is no file extension | 22:01 |
| bekks | sketchhh: You can name whatever file you want "Document.txt". | 22:01 |
| sketchhh | ohh okay so how could i use a wildcard | 22:01 |
| sketchhh | for text files in the command line | 22:01 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: you can't | 22:01 |
| sketchhh | oh wow | 22:01 |
| sketchhh | that's interesting | 22:01 |
| ikonia | sketchhh: because you've not made an extension that is consistent when creating them | 22:01 |
| Bashing-om | dman777_alter: What returns from terminal command -> apt-cache search cassandra <- ? | 22:02 |
| dman777_alter | Bashing-om: nada | 22:02 |
| trism | eto: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/core-1403-systemd-transition | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | dman777_alter: Then, nope, not available in the repository. Google here we come ! | 22:02 |
| dman777_alter | yep | 22:03 |

| studmuf | server | 22:18 |
| barnex | what kind of thing would you like to serve? | 22:18 |
| barnex | studmuf: ? | 22:18 |
| barnex | just files or some kind of application? | 22:19 |
| studmuf | barnex: a web page that hosts a web app and an ftp file server | 22:20 |
| barnex | well, what kind of web app? | 22:20 |
| === Guest48204 is now known as ericccc | ||
| barnex | what kind of tutorial do you need? Setting the app server, setting ftp server, or pointing domain name to your server? | 22:20 |
| studmuf | the web app takes a data in the form of a web form to query a database that plots the data using javscript | 22:21 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: yes to all of the above | 22:21 |
| brainproxy | ? | 22:22 |
| barnex | yeah, but in which technology? ruby on rails servers and php servers have different ways to install studmuf | 22:22 |
| === ericccc is now known as eric_ | ||
| studmuf | I know php but not ruby | 22:22 |
| studmuf | on rails | 22:22 |
| barnex | for the domain name pointing you'd need to look through godady documentation. | 22:22 |
| studmuf | would like to learn it though | 22:22 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: ok | 22:22 |
| studmuf | sorry barnex | 22:22 |
| barnex | and know your ip address, forward some points on your router if necessary | 22:23 |
| === eric_ is now known as ericc | ||
| barnex | if you want to host php application, look for apache + php tutorial, should be easy, since it's very common | 22:23 |
| studmuf | ok | 22:23 |
| barnex | probably installing some meta package for LAMP server (linux + apache + mysql) | 22:23 |
| barnex | will do the trick | 22:23 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: linode (the company) has a pretty nice collection of linux tutorial for setting up various kinds of servers, as does Digital Ocean | 22:23 |
| studmuf | I was thinking abot installing the LAMP server | 22:24 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: thanks | 22:24 |
| barnex | studmuf: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu here's some tutorial, I hope it works | 22:24 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: are you going to be running the server locally, or will you be using a hosting service? | 22:24 |
| studmuf | I looked at a the start of a few tuts on setting up a LAMP server and it seems very straight forward | 22:24 |
| studmuf | just want to make sure it fits all my needs | 22:25 |
| barnex | for pointing the domain name you basically need to create an A record with your computer's public ip | 22:25 |
| studmuf | locally at first | 22:25 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: you could probably use a prebuilt lamp stack in the form of a docker image | 22:25 |
| studmuf | barnex: done | 22:25 |
| studmuf | I already create the A record pointing at my public domain | 22:25 |
| barnex | well, if all you want is php app with some databese LAMP would be great | 22:25 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: what's a docker image? | 22:25 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: https://www.docker.com/ | 22:26 |
| barnex | it's a prebuilt operating system image with working confugirated server stack I assume | 22:26 |
| brainproxy | it's "containerized" linux | 22:26 |
| brainproxy | you can have a dumb linux box which isn't configured for anything in particular but has docker installed | 22:26 |
| studmuf | barnex: I'm assuming DigitalOcean charges to use their services. | 22:26 |
| brainproxy | and then you can run docker images on it | 22:26 |
| brainproxy | very nice, saves a lot of repeat effort | 22:27 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: hmmmm | 22:27 |
| barnex | uhhm, what's digitalOcean? | 22:27 |
| studmuf | so it's a custom vm | 22:27 |
| studmuf | hahah Digital Ocean | 22:27 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: boot2docker is a simple way to get started with it | 22:27 |
| * studmuf can't not type to save his life | 22:27 | |
| studmuf | haha | 22:27 |
| studmuf | did it again | 22:28 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: ok | 22:28 |
| studmuf | i'll check it out. | 22:28 |
| studmuf | brainproxy: barnex: thanks for the feedback now it's time to do a little more in depth research on the matter | 22:28 |
| brainproxy | anyway, don't mean to be a pundit, but if you're going to get into dev work on linux servers, will probably save you a lot of time in the long run | 22:28 |
| brainproxy | studmuf: sure thing; docker works nicely in comination w/ vagrant in my opinion, but not everyone likes vagrant or wants to go that route, but something to consider | 22:29 |
| barnex | uhm, I'm having trouble with the 'install the | 22:29 |
| barnex | GRUB boot loader on a hard disk' step in minimal installer | 22:29 |
| brainproxy | automation and repeatability is the key to devops linux happiness :) | 22:29 |
| barnex | where can I get something more out of it than 'failed to install'? | 22:29 |

| stuardo | OerHeks, but all my changes are lost after I reboot | 22:41 |
| Bashing-om | sandman13: As a general rule, no, a version is frozen at the release level to preclude introducing any new bugs or problems. That newer version of KDE would be available in the next release. | 22:42 |

| Fall | LucaS05: do you have Apache or some webserver installed, and it's running, and listening on port 80? | 23:32 |
| k1l | Luke-Jr: talk to the maintainer of that package | 23:32 |
| Luke-Jr | k1l: it's a Debian import, and the Debian maintainer doesn't appear to be involved in Ubuntu | 23:33 |
| LucaS05 | yes, i've apache2 | 23:33 |
| LucaS05 | i've a 403 so it's running | 23:33 |
| Fall | is this a fresh install, or have you made customisations | 23:34 |
| k1l | Luke-Jr: hmm, i would see if you can grab the maintainer and talk to them if they think they need the new releases or patches for that. maybe ask in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu | 23:35 |
| LucaS05 | i've made a customization, adding a folder as a root | 23:37 |

| raspberrypifan | it works on the host machine but not in the vm machine | 23:41 |

| raspberrypifan | k1l: how do i get the syslog/dmesg? | 23:42 |
| k1l | so its a vm. can you draw the whole picture? | 23:42 |

| histo | LucaS05: sudo service apache2 status | 23:52 |
| raspberrypifan | the vm freezes but not the host | 23:52 |
| barnex | when I boot my ubuntu in efi mode, all I get is uefi shell | 23:52 |
| histo | raspberrypifan: how are you telling the vm to use the usb? | 23:52 |
| LucaS05 | i got apach2 is running | 23:52 |
| k1l | raspberrypifan: if you need to hard restart see in /var/log/ and then the dmesg and syslog with the numbers afterwards. each reboot the logs get cycled and the number gets increased | 23:52 |
| histo | LucaS05: netstat -tan and make sure it's listening. | 23:52 |
| raspberrypifan | i am not, im just plugging it in. when i plug it into the os x host it works fine nad when i plug it in to my windows vm it also works | 23:52 |
| barnex | do I need to install some efi loader and if so how? I already tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:53 |

| histo | raspberrypifan: What virtualization software are you using? | 23:53 |
| barnex | And boot-repair can't detect my efi partition | 23:53 |
| barnex | although it's there | 23:53 |
| raspberrypifan | vmwarae fusion | 23:53 |
| histo | barnex: has this ever worked? | 23:53 |
| barnex | histo: no | 23:53 |
| barnex | not for me | 23:53 |
| histo | barnex: So you are trying to install? | 23:53 |
| LucaS05 | how can i see that it's listening? | 23:54 |
| barnex | I'm trying to install, yes | 23:54 |
| barnex | I did "Converting Ubuntu into EFI mode | 23:54 |
| histo | raspberrypifan: try booting ubuntu iso on bare metal and see if it blows up there. Most likely a problem with vmware | 23:54 |
| TJ- | raspberrypifan: in the Ubuntu guest, in a terminal, first do "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" then plug the device in... hopefully you'll catch some kernel messages telling us what is happening before it freezes | 23:54 |
| barnex | pert of the tutorial I linked | 23:54 |
| barnex | but it assumes that boot-repair would detect my efi partition | 23:54 |
| barnex | and it doesn't | 23:54 |
| barnex | for some reason | 23:54 |
| histo | barnex: why are you converting it? | 23:54 |
| LucaS05 | i see this: 0.0.0.0:80 | 23:54 |
| raspberrypifan | i dont have the device wiht me right now, and i dont have internet at home. Would just pusting the dmesg do any good. the /var/log has a bunch of files | 23:54 |
| barnex | well, uhm, no reason, it's a fresh system and I heard efi boots faster a while ago | 23:55 |
| HelloWorld3211 | Is the first point release (14.04.1) live? | 23:56 |
| raspberrypifan | TJ-: well it freezes amost automatically. | 23:56 |
| TJ- | raspberrypifan: We'd expect the kernel to reports something when it freezes, which you should be able to capture at least with a screenshot from the host, if not to clipboard. | 23:56 |
| raspberrypifan | hmm very well | 23:57 |
| raspberrypifan | hopefully | 23:57 |
| TJ- | raspberrypifan: which version of OS X is the host running? | 23:57 |
| raspberrypifan | mavericks | 23:57 |
| histo | barnex: Do you have a UEFI motherboard? | 23:58 |
| LucaS05 | maybe there's another apache2 conf file? | 23:58 |
| barnex | histo: yes. | 23:58 |
| TJ- | raspberrypifan: And, from what you said, other guest operating systems in fusion could see/use the same device correctly? | 23:58 |
| barnex | histo: I managed to boot some live distros in uefi mode | 23:58 |
| raspberrypifan | yup | 23:58 |
| histo | barnex: So what part of that are you stuck on? | 23:58 |
| Chaser | HelloWorld3211: Ubuntu 14.04.1 is due for release on 24th July (see !ltsupgrade) | 23:59 |
| TJ- | raspberrypifan: OK, so there's not much point in looking for OS-X/Fusion specific causes... that kern.log when the device is connected is going to be the most helpful. Can you tell us what the make/model of the device is? | 23:59 |
| barnex | histo: can't make boot-repair to recognize my efi partition as efi partition I guess. | 23:59 |
| raspberrypifan | yes huawei e160 | 23:59 |
| histo | barnex: did you create one? | 23:59 |
| barnex | yes | 23:59 |
| LucaS05 | what i have is that the apache2.conf file doesn't have the directory that gives me the 403. But i see the directory in the ErrorLog File, so maybe there's another configuration file! | 23:59 |
| barnex | but it's empty | 23:59 |
| histo | barnex: pastebin lsblk | 23:59 |
