[00:00] Ntemis: so what's the actual problem ? [00:00] i just thought if there is a way all that warnings to go away [00:00] just ignore it [00:00] it's not a problem [00:01] shit [00:01] no need for bad langauge [00:01] it seems to be [00:01] a problem [00:01] i just rebooted the server [00:02] why are warnings a problem? [00:02] i now have no ssh access to it [00:02] How can I save passwords while using secpanel? [00:02] I have some issues for remote desktop connection on ubuntu 14.04? [00:02] Ntemis: ssh is nothing to do with grub [00:02] Ntemis, i see, give more detail please then [00:02] details to what [00:02] os is not loading anymore [00:02] Ntemis: you didn't say that [00:02] Ntemis: you said there was no ssh access [00:02] Ntemis, about ssh. ssh with -vvv flag and pastebin please [00:02] Ntemis: you've said "there is no problem it works fine" [00:02] then you said "ssh is not working" [00:02] just rebooted after i confirm there is no issue with grub [00:02] now you're saying "OS is not loading" [00:03] yeap due to grub [00:03] can you you please try to get a factual summary [00:03] Ntemis, and details about what you see when you try to boot it please [00:03] server has no display output [00:03] lets make this simple [00:03] Ntemis: does the server boot into ubuntu yes/no [00:03] sure [00:03] nope [00:03] Ntemis, what kind of server is that? a vps? [00:03] Ntemis: what point does it fail [00:03] not after i upgraded grub [00:04] ikonia, he said it gives no output whatsoever [00:04] gry: he also said it booted, it doesn't boot, and many others things [00:04] Ntemis: what point does it actually fail [00:04] i gues is stuck at grub menu or something [00:04] "or something" :) [00:04] Ntemis: do you have physical access to this machine or is it remote [00:05] yes i have a physical [00:05] Ntemis: so if you plug a monitor in, is it stuck at the grub menu ? [00:06] i suppose but i have to do it to tell you ->not easy right now :p [00:06] what ? [00:06] you suppose ??? [00:06] this is a really simple question "is it stuck at the grub menu as you suggested it was" [00:06] Ntemis, why not easy right now? [00:06] actually - I don't care [00:06] you do [00:06] someone else can walk you through this [00:06] lol [00:06] lol [00:06] i"ll connect it tomorrow and use the keyboard to select kernel [00:07] Ntemis, it would be a nice idea to come to this chat at a time when you have access to that machine [00:07] looks like is stuck at that part [00:07] so that you can pastebin things and give details, look things up in log files [00:07] some things are just hard work... [00:07] yeah [00:07] thanks [00:07] gry can now be wyatt [00:07] Dammit my Ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop i386 cd is broken [00:08] It won't install [00:08] Ntemis: and please don't do it again — coming with questions you can't resolve right now is a poor idea like you may have noticed by ikonia's reaction [00:08] aha [00:08] Test test [00:08] stevdale, eol and not supported here. [00:08] gry: wasnt started like that [00:08] this sentence lacks the subject [00:09] Beldar: I know ;3 [00:09] gry: it started by a grub update and this http://pastebin.com/J5yQbDtK [00:09] and i was told is "ok" [00:09] I still have my Knoppix 3.6 cd [00:09] Lol [00:09] then i rebooted the server [00:09] stevdale, Than why are you even posting? [00:09] now am without a server [00:09] :p [00:10] Ntemis, it's a vps? [00:10] no [00:10] keyboard and monitor are very useful in fixing problems with servers... oddly enough... [00:10] Ntemis, then you have to come here when you're near some sort of access to it [00:10] yeap [00:10] stevdale, There is a offtopic channel if you need to espouse. [00:11] I just decided to get my work laptop (windows 8.1) working on my local network.. However, running exe files from my samba (4) share runing on 14.04, the 8.1 machine seems to honor the executable bit of the files (no x bit set, windows 8.1 complains it doesn't have permission... set the x bit, and it's fine running the file). My windows7 machine has no such issue. Is there an easy way to fix this, other than chmod +x? [00:11] but as am running to many machines right now connecting a new display and keyboard i way too much right now for me 3:11am :p [00:11] stevdale, I hope you're planning to install something fresh anyway :) [00:11] anw thanks for the help and support [00:11] Ntemis can now be wyatt [00:11] thanks [00:11] bazhang can now be wyatt [00:11] monitor: can you please stop telling people to be wyatt please [00:12] Ntemis: please don't do it again — come asking for support when you are not ready to troubleshooting — and sleep well [00:12] what is wyatt? fitting for Ntemis - When You Are At The Terminal :p [00:13] :) [00:13] .. or something [00:13] I'm getting “boot error” when trying to boot from USB [00:14] Ryan_, When and where and your path to this error and more details [00:14] I'm getting “boot error” when trying to boot from USB [00:15] !md5sum | Ryan_ [00:15] Ryan_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:16] Ryan_, Many possibilities, you have to give exact info. [00:16] hey guys [00:16] problem solved [00:16] :p [00:16] Beldar: nO md5 thanks I used startupdisk creator to burn the .iso. [00:17] Ryan_, Check the sum and try one of the other handfuls of usb loaders. [00:17] Ntemis: You found the power button? [00:17] lol [00:17] Beldar: no md5 check OKKK!!! :@ [00:17] Ryan_, Than do one. [00:18] keyboard and blindly pressing enter key [00:18] Beldar: I don't want your help THANKS! [00:18] lol [00:18] Ryan_, "Excellent" Mr. BUrns [00:18] So, what can this problem be Ubuntu [00:19] Sounds like the old 'user error' to me [00:19] bye and thanks [00:20] Is there a setting in samba (v4 running on 14.04) to force clients to ignore the status of the x permission on files when trying to execute them? [00:20] Hello. I try to unlock a root crypt device from initrd. I created a hook script to include cryptsetup but when I enter the passphrase I get this error: http://pastebin.com/S4FWgeww -- Any idea what could be missing here? [00:21] where in ubuntu is the screen cleared before the login prompt is shown on bootup? it erases the boot messages, which is annoying [00:21] Kevin`: Don't know. Have you looked at /var/log/boot.log? [00:22] useful, but not really a solution IMO [00:23] there's so many other sources of messages on the console [00:23] !nox | Kevin` [00:23] Kevin`: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [00:23] Hey! I need some help with setting up a firewall. Basically I want to block all connections to all ports except for 1 ip. [00:23] sorry, 2 ips [00:24] bazhang: trying [00:24] nahtnam: port != IP [00:25] daftykins: I know. I only want to allow pg port and redis port to two ips and block any other connections' [00:25] nahtnam: iptables -A OUTPUT -d -j ACCEPT; iptables -A OUTPUT -j DROP; [00:25] vlt: Will that allow the but deny all others? [00:25] nahtnam: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21870386/iptables-block-access-to-all-ports-except-from-a-partial-ip-address has an example and an explanation [00:26] thanks svetlana [00:27] vlt's order looks reasonable as he/she suggested that you do the exemption first, and then drop [00:27] bazhang: that didn't change the behavior as far as I can tell, it still clears the screen [00:28] Kevin`, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Toggling_to_Traditional_Text-based_Boot [00:29] WTF [00:29] svetlana: I ran the first command, and then the connection reset [00:29] kostkon: [00:29] # cat /proc/cmdline [00:29] placeholder root=/dev/mapper/otto-root ro console=tty0 console=hvc0 tmem earlyprintk=xen text [00:29] and now I cant connect [00:30] nahtnam: if you get it reboot, the iptables rules will get reset [00:30] svetlana: NVM. Thanks to digitalocean, I was able to access via ssh [00:30] nice [00:31] Salut ! [00:31] kostkon: as far as I can see that page is about the splash screen, which wasn't showing from the beginning === bblindy__ is now known as blindy [00:32] Kevin`, not sure then === JanC is now known as Guest24309 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [00:33] I think it's done by getty somehow, since if the login prompt is missing it won't happen [00:33] what are all of the scripts run by that? [00:34] svetlana: I have a quick question. I want to be able to ssh into the server. I know my public ip, but its dynamic. Is there a way to know the range from which my IPS can be chosen? [00:35] nahtnam: not really - I use a service called dyndns [00:35] nahtnam: If I understand your question: no. [00:35] nathanbbb you could just reboot the modem a few times, maybe you're lucky and all fall in the same C block [00:36] then just allow the a.b.c. ip [00:37] dyndns solves those problems [00:38] Blue1: Ok. Ill check it out [00:38] nahtnam: dyndns.org [00:39] i think I pay about $20/year for the service -- it's well worth it -- if the ip changes, the router automagically contacts dyndns and the record is updated [00:39] nahtnam: your netmask is usually correct for that, but for most isps it's a VERY large range, you wouldn't want to scan it [00:40] that service used to be free. you should only have to pay if you are using a second-level domain (the cost being for the domain) [00:41] Kevin`: yes I am using a 2nd level domain, and it's not free anymore [00:42] if dyndns isn't free for 3+rd level domains, there are plenty of other services that accomplish the same goal, that are free [00:42] dyndns stinks. hope they broke [00:43] Kevin`> nahtnam: your netmask is usually correct for that, but for most isps it's a VERY large range, you wouldn't want to scan it [00:43] subz3r0: it works and dd-wrt is support fo it. [00:43] barely not true [00:43] ??? [00:43] since you can scan the whole intet within hours [00:44] subz3r0: at 1000 hosts/sec that would take 49 days [00:45] Blue1: it was about the statement scanning large networks [00:45] kevin-brown: you scan the complete ipv4 in like 45 minutes [00:45] ... [00:46] citation required [00:46] citation? [00:46] its a fact. [00:46] says who? [00:46] i do [00:46] based on what? [00:47] this escalated quickly... [00:47] knowledge [00:47] wisdom [00:47] lol [00:47] call it what ever u want [00:47] Kevin`: your asking the wrong questions [00:48] this isn't a puzzle [00:48] https://zmap.io [00:49] Hi. Is usb mobile internet a problem? [00:49] "With a single machine and a well provisioned network uplink, ZMap is capable of performing a complete scan of the IPv4 address space in under 45 minutes, approaching the theoretical limit of gigabit Ethernet." [00:49] Kevin`: so? [00:49] ... [00:49] On ubuntu. Are rhese often windows only? [00:49] Im having issues installing drivers for my geforce gtx 660. Installing nvidia current leaves me with a black screen with a flashing cursor. [00:50] subz3r0: unmolested gig-e internet is NOT easy to get [00:50] means with a nice oc256 line its even faster [00:50] so? [00:50] anyways... [00:51] you think a user who doesn't have an ip address has access to a full bandwidth connection in a datacenter that ignores abuse reports? [00:51] Kevin`: u said its not possible. and thats nonsense [00:51] also a dedicated gbit line isnt that expensive anymore [00:51] if he does, he should be running his own dyndns service [00:52] it's pretty easy with rndc (+spelling) or various scripts [00:52] Kevin`: I need a 2nd level domain so I have to pay for that. [00:53] let me see if the chinese and the russians are trying to hack my system again [00:53] :-! [00:53] Kevin`: once again... thats outta the topic... you said its not possible, i said yes it is. fact is it is possible... any ways ... end of discussion [00:54] Blue1: you will be scanned all day and night long... nothing special [00:54] also, that's usually done from hacked systems. the person doing the scanning may not live in russia [00:55] subz3r0: I have guys trying to ssh into the box, and access my ftp server. [00:55] Blue1: normal [00:55] Blue1: thats normal [00:55] subz3r0: yup [00:55] Blue1: dont use standard ports for your ssh servers [00:55] also you may want to use port knocking [00:56] or fail2ban(which is pretty easy to implement) [00:56] either do not use passwords, use a public key method instead [00:56] subz3r0: yup I think I may go with security through obscurity [00:57] Blue1: obviously you should have a secure password, but obscurity helps too, if you can do it without impacting your own use [00:57] Blue1: well.. do you knwo what that menas? [00:57] subz3r0: yes -- http://www.pkill-9.com is me. [00:58] Blue1: impressive ;) [00:58] subz3r0: thanks [00:59] Blue1: for some fun: /j #honeypots [00:59] subz3r0: what is that? [00:59] have a look. it might be interesting for you [01:00] subz3r0: thanks but I will pass [01:00] Blue1: you may want to block this range: 116.10.191.0/24 [01:00] :D [01:00] bad bots out there [01:00] Hi, I am running ubuntu 14.04 LTS on Dell Studio 1555. The problem is that when I suspend the machine the next time the wireless is totally disabled. When I suspend the machine and run it again the wireless is working fine. (I have this problem after upgrading ubuntu) This occurs every other time at system boot up. Does anybody know what should I do? [01:00] subz3r0: sounds like a chinese fire drill [01:01] subz3r0: I have a vpn -- hosts.deny is set to all except local -- so no worries [01:01] hosts.deny is kinda outdated... but well.. if you like it :) === gb_ is now known as Guest86133 [01:02] subz3r0: yes it is outdated [01:03] i beleive the word is deprecated [01:04] yes indeed. like giving for the thousands time a openvpn install howto :D [01:04] subz3r0: it is given for completeness :-) [01:05] lets try and stay on message people [01:05] working on an article on linux containers [01:05] yes [01:07] mojtaba1, Check if this happens in the guest account to start with. [01:08] Beldar: So what should I do after that? [01:09] come here with the answer [01:09] mojtaba1, Just checking variables. Does upgrade mean from another release? [01:09] Beldar: I have checked the system with rfkill to see if device is blocked or not at that time and it was not blocked. [01:09] Beldar: Yes, I had 13.10 [01:09] mojtaba1, Good for you however not what I suggested. [01:10] Beldar: Some other guy suggest this method before. I thought may be you would like to know that. [01:11] Hi [01:11] mojtaba1, What I really want to know is there a infinity of universes and dimensions can you help me there? ;) [01:12] Beldar: :O [01:12] Beldar: What should I do if it was blocked with the guest account and what will I find if it was not? [01:13] mojtaba1, Dude I cannot help you, you are not even doing what was asked. [01:13] Beldar, there currently isn't enough evidence to make a conclusion either way :) [01:13] knightshade: just ask your question [01:14] I don't have a question. [01:14] Beldar: I just thought may be you have a plan? ;) [01:15] Anybody know how to install geforce gtx 660 drivers on ubuntu. Install nvidia-current doesnt work. [01:16] nerdonator, Just info but "doesnt work" means nothing here. [01:18] nerdonator, Have you checked software sources-additional drivers? [01:20] nerdonator: well, what happens when you try to install nvidia-current? [01:24] Beldar i cant get to there because i have no usable gui. [01:25] Km0201 when i reboot,it boots to a black screen with a blinking white cursor [01:25] nerdonator: how are you trying to install the driver? [01:25] Sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [01:26] * KM0201 sighs [01:26] why don't you look in th edashboard for "Aditional drivers" [01:26] Does anybody else know what should I do? [01:26] http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/soccer/brazil2014/video/match/1272839 [01:26] and then open that, and install the driver from there.

[01:27] boot recovery mode, and get to a command prompt, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [01:27] and reboot [01:27] nerdonator, Try the low graphic nomodeset, you can do all the graphic issues stuff from a TTY, but just be clear when you post you situation. [01:28] now that we're talking about nvidia maybe someone can help me with question I asked earlier [01:28] or a recovery cli as suggested [01:28] hello ubunters, I had a working comp with 14.04 and one nvidia 750 ti installed, I added a second card, and now when it loads up I get to the desktop, but there's no launch bar or status bar, just blank desktop with mouse cursor [01:28] I tried running nvidida-xconfig, and get same thing [01:28] Km0201, i had to reinsyall, so i amusing a fresh install, and i have a gui now. [01:29] seems like I shouldn't have to reinstall driver just because I added a video card, right? [01:29] .. [01:29] jwinterm, So two cards running or a replacement? [01:29] nerdonator: you ust told me you didn't have a GUI. [01:29] added an extra, it was working fine with one [01:29] if youhave a GUI, do what i said.. go to the dashboard, search for additional drivers, and install the nvidia driver from there === srd is now known as Guest42173 [01:30] and when I run nvidia-smi from tty2 it shows both cards [01:30] just not sure how to "fix" desktop [01:30] Okay, its working, i hope it will work. [01:30] I mean its installing [01:30] jwinterm, Sounds like the second card is be used rather than the one you had, there are specific drivers for cards in general. [01:30] they're the exact same card [01:30] msi 750 ti [01:31] jwinterm, Pull the original and see what happens, you could do a nomodeset boot and see if the desktops shows as well. [01:31] hey all.

Is this your home connection, does the Ethernet run slow? Have you checked the wifi hardwares general speed? [01:35] Beldar: This is on this computer alone.

Then also shouldnt it be updating puppet? [02:35] oops, im missing some of the output [02:35] lol [02:35] it's not removing anything [02:36] it says ruby-json isn't required but you have an old version [02:36] sorry, its suggesting removing something, though it actually needs to install it (ruby-json), but its actually already installed. http://pastie.org/pastes/9383042/text?key=g7ujunqtvb88cvybky7hmw [02:38] try removing it with sudo apt-get remove ruby-json [02:38] and to upgrade puppet, try running sudo apt-get install puppet puppet-common [02:38] has the ubuntu installer been known to write over a windows mbr even if the windows installation is on a completely separate drive? [02:39] haha. yep [02:39] happened to me [02:39] drive as in partition or hard drive? [02:39] separate ssd [02:39] oh. then no [02:39] illuminata, If you don't point to the correct mbr yes. [02:40] !bootinfo | illuminata [02:40] illuminata: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [02:40] well wasn't prompted. and thanks for ^ [02:41] illuminata, You can use it for yourself or to get help here, mbr stuff is pretty basic if you have the right tools and understand. [02:41] it's a possible compound issue thanks to uefi [02:41] so dunno if i wanna wall of text it, am trying to self diagnose [02:42] tux_: lol, http://pastie.org/pastes/9383053/text [02:42] illuminata, probably not an mbr issue if uefi, however that is what the best in this area use for diagnosing. [02:42] gotcha, thanks again [02:43] well that's no good... hmm [02:43] however, despite using uefi installer, i think it wrote as mbr - assuming my bios isn't lying to me [02:44] I've got an xbox controller that I would like to set up, but my computer won't recognise when I mess with it, and none of the lights are on. I've installed everything I should need, but still no responce. Any ideas? [02:44] so i was starting to think maybe ubuntu's installer was buggy/misbehaving [02:44] but right now my head's swimming thanks to hours of just trying to have it boot... which it can now [02:44] crazyhead42: using ubuntu? [02:44] Yes. [02:44] illuminata, Did you set it to legacy boot? [02:45] MACscr: what if you try sudo apt-get -f --purge ruby-json [02:45] given that windows was legacy, yes. and i manually used the legacy installer in bios [02:45] after that i couldn't load ubuntu, no matter what it went to windows [02:45] even when taking the windows drive out as a boot option [02:46] then i used the uefi installer and it works, but i think it installed to mbr instead [02:46] because my windows drive is first in boot order [02:46] illuminata, Ah, than a mbr, you might run the script for help here should be an easy fix if everything is in order, and you have a windows recovery or install disc. [02:47] the fear is if i fix the windows mbr and move the ubuntu drive up in the boot order, will it boot to ubuntu or misbehave like before? [02:47] i have a laptop that has uefi boot. it has come preinstalled windows 8. i want to try format it and i succeed. now i have windows 7. and i want to install ubuntu 10.04 [02:47] is it possible? [02:47] but regardless, it seems to have written to the windows mbr which i did not specify it to do [02:47] s/to/over [02:48] illuminata, Were you planning to use grub to boot both? Really without seeing what is there I can't help, that script takes out the 20 questions just getting there. [02:48] tux_: again it says it removes it, but dist-upgrade complains about the same issues again [02:49] planned on having the ubuntu drive use grub to boot both, yes. not currently in ubuntu at the moment but i'll run the script before i go much further in here [02:49] MACscr: try: apt-get -oDebug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade; [02:49] Guys so my psensor suddenly shows a lot of sensors :) but none of them are labeled how do I know what they are [02:49] mavidoritos, 10.04 desktop is eol [02:50] but i want old gnome desktop with ubuntu [02:50] can i install it to my laptop? [02:50] mavidoritos install MATE [02:50] It is a fork of Gnome 2 [02:50] which release can i use with uefi? [02:51] trism: http://pastie.org/pastes/9383075/text?key=umcl371ejps1zzkrgoiq [02:51] mavidoritos, 12.04 or 14.04 both longterm, I would go 14.04 myself. [02:51] mate is in 14.04 [02:51] macscr, if you really want to get rid of it you can remove all the files that were installed with it: dpkg -L ruby-json [02:52] mavidoritos: Be advised release 10.04 is End_Od_Life, and in the desktop no longer has support. Suggest dual boot windows 7 with ubuntu 14.04 . [02:52] Okay, update: my controler is not seen. Anyone know how to get around that? [02:52] ok i'll try. i hope i can uninstall unity [02:52] _Id/Of [02:52] i love old style desktop :) [02:53] thank you [02:53] mavidoritos, unity is tiny uninstalling it us not a god idea just add the DE you want [02:53] good* [02:53] MACscr: looks like the actual problem is with that hiera package, try installing that and see what it says [02:53] mavidoritos: If 'unity' is not to your taste, there are other desktops/releases that you may install. [02:55] i am downloading 14.04 [02:56] after installing i ll add mate repository [02:56] MACscr: you might need to remove that ruby-hiera package if you aren't using it [02:56] and ill install mate [02:57] mavidoritos: There is ubuntu gnome ! For those " i love old style desktop :)" . [02:58] i am personally not a fan either of unity [02:58] i honestly stopped using ubuntu for desktops whenever that became default [02:58] let's try to stay on topic guys, thanks [02:58] uh, all of these things are on topic =P [02:58] support, yes. why you stopped using ubuntu, no. [02:59] sure it is. Its called feedback [02:59] i still use ubuntu for servers [02:59] this isn't the place for feedback. [02:59] your name is very misleading [02:59] kde plasma desktop is very pretty if you have a powerful system: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:59] !flavors [02:59] !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [03:01] MACscr: here is an alternative: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15179077/2574322 [03:01] replace steam*deb with ruby-json_1.8.0-1build1_amd64.deb [03:01] or whatever it's called [03:01] tux_: is this simply an issue with the dependency system for it or what? [03:02] i don't know. dpkg has it in its head you don't need the package, but it still wants to install it. It sounds like that could be the issue [03:02] did you install puppet correctly? === jibran__ is now known as jibran [03:03] celeron b830 is enough for it? [03:03] tux_: apt-get install puppet? [03:03] i think so =P [03:03] right. [03:03] by the way i have a ubutntu 10.04 experience with my celeron 1000 desktop :) [03:04] what happens if you do dpkg --configure -a;apt-get -f install [03:04] 256mb sdram and celeron 1000A were great with ubuntu 10.04. so i asked 10.04 firstly. [03:04] MACscr: tux_ the problem is not ruby-json, it is trying to install it because ruby-hiera depends on mcollective-common which depends on ruby-json, but ruby-hiera conflicts with hiera from the puppet ppa, which puppet-common depends on [03:04] universal serial bus and i.s.o. standard. what do you use too install a live iso.? any chatter that know about useing usb install thanks for looking. [03:05] so it seems that you need ruby-json. to keep it, try sudo apt-get install ruby-json [03:05] then dpkg won't see it as a package you don't need [03:06] do you need puppet? [03:06] mavidoritos: Dual core processor, maxed out ram at 16 gigs; should run anything you care to throw at it. [03:06]

Merci. === abc_ is now known as iDevelop [03:57] Hi, I am running ubuntu 14.04 LTS on Dell Studio 1555. The problem is that when I suspend the machine the next time the wireless is totally disabled. When I suspend the machine and run it again the wireless is working fine. (I have this problem after upgrading ubuntu) This occurs every other time at system boot up. Does anybody know what should I do? [04:00] Okay, I have a rather complicated situation and a lovely problem along with it. [04:01] My hard drive failed, and I can't afford to get a new one for a week or so, until then my only choice is running Ubuntu off of a USB stick (Pretty much brand new, 8GB flash drive) [04:01] I followed the official guide on the ubuntu website to make a persistent livecd [04:01] My problem is, it's HORRIFICLY slow [04:02] Ispira of course. you're running the OS entirely from ram. [04:02] Ispira the fix: install lxde or xfce4, logout, choose lubuntu/xubuntu session, login. that will give *some* relief [04:02] Ispira: flash drives are horrifically slow, even usb3 ones [04:02] the livecd without persistance is faster than this....much faster [04:03] I understand usb drives are slow, but it shouldn't take 20 seconds to open terminal :/ [04:03] Ispira: you can just carve out a small partition, format it as ext2/3/4 or whatever, then copy your data there. [04:03] Ispira: on USB2 that sounds about right [04:04] It's a USB3 flash drive, running the ubuntu livecd without persistance it's just as snappy as windows 8 [04:04] I have the casper-rw partition separate, as per the guide, so it's 6GB [04:05] Ispira: right, the IO is going to be brutal. [04:05] So the solution is just remaking the livecd and storing data on a separate usb stick? [04:05] Ispira: without persistance it can all run from ram, or only reads from the usb drive [04:06] my only issue is that I have an R9-270 graphics card that requires a driver [04:06] Ispira AND use the lighter desktop environment [04:06] Ispira: or a seperate partition on the usb drive. This is in fact what I do on the rare occasions that I have need of such a thing [04:06] else ubuntu is reallllllyy visually glitchy [04:06] Ispira: a big +1 to lmde or xfce [04:06] alright [04:06] I'll try that [04:06] thanks for the help [04:07] but yeah, flash drives are slow unless you get a really good one [04:07] I guess my fix is just never turning it off/rebooting [04:07] Ispira unity is very hungry. don't use it [04:07] even if its usb3, it doesn't mean it's any faster than usb2 [04:09] my write speed on the USB stick is ~40MB/s and read is ~80MB/s not sure how that compares to other drive [04:10] tested it a few weeks ago when I bought it before my hard drive ate the dust [04:11] Hello, what could cause the error "attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'"? It appears to be a grub error. [04:12] Alright, I'm going to go make another livecd [04:13] Isolol: those are fantistic speeds assuming that you can actually get them real world [04:14] also, many USB 3 ports can switch between USB3 and USB2, so your live enviroment might be limited to 20 MB/sec (USB2), and you will also pay a heavy CPU price for that IO [04:14] is qt5 available through a PPA? [04:14] nah he's got something messed up there. Either driver related or bios issues, or faulty flash drive.

[05:37] how can I edit a file with root permissions from a user login, I edited the sudoers and gave all permissions but i still have to sudo ... [05:39] Is this page loading funny for anyone else? [05:39] https://design.ubuntu.com [05:40] varunendra, for some reason this laptop is unable to give the TX/RX, also on using several apps from kde, the network applet nm is unable to show the download and upload speed. Same with superkaramba. My PC has kubuntu 14.04, and my virtualbox guest OS kubuntu 14.04 all fresh install like this laptop works great. It's just this laptop is not fully functional like my pc. [05:41] varunendra, I'm trying to figure out if this is a driver related issue?? [05:42] function9, perhaps you mentioned that both wifi and ethernet interfaces are having this same problem? [05:42] varunendra, correct, they don't show the TX/RX, but they work fine using the internet [05:42] octalmage: yes [05:43] thats silly. [05:43] varunendra, I also tried Linux Mint on this laptop, and it's the same issue [05:43] function9, then it doesn't look like a driver problem to me. It could be, but both interfaces use entirely different drivers, so it is highly unlikely that it is a driver issue. [05:44] function9, have you also tried 'nload'? Though I believe if nm-tool fails to report the speed, nload and similar tools will fail too. [05:47] varunendra, correct nload show nothing [05:48] no activity rather [05:48] function is the command "nload -u K eth0" type?

[05:49] Its definitely wpa2 [05:50] varunendra, the issue is on the kernel level right? obviously it's not the application level, right??? [05:50] function9, have you also tried some distro using a different kernel version? Both ubuntu and mint having same problem are ruling out some possibilities, unless they are also using the same kernel and other related package versions. [05:50] function9, I was also thinking the same thing ^^ :) [05:51] varunendra, that's what I'm about to do next, I'm going to try out opensuse, see if this laptop works well with that. I just got to download suse [05:51] does WPA2 assume a certain encryption, by default? [05:51] edition, nm-tool shows the encryption type the listed APs are using. Then "sudo iwlist scan" shows detailed info. [05:52] tried it. doesn't display encryption type for wlan0 [05:52] function9, you could also use a previous release of Ubuntu or mint, maybe 12.04.2 or ....3 [05:52] or my router (in cell1) [05:52] edition, tried what? [05:52] sudo iwlist scan [05:53] varunendra, will do.

[06:23] Sometimes PG takes a few seconds to respond instead of a few milliseconds [06:24] what is PG, and how are you doing this? [06:24] gry: Postgres. I am using this tut. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/postgres-allow-remote-access-tcp-connection.html/ [06:26] ok [06:26] nahtnam, those do not look like things that would slow it down to me; would you perhaps check logs of postgresql (it has an option to log slow queries) and probably ask the #postgresql channel? [06:27] there is a question of what is being slow — iptables or postgresql. [06:27] is indian takeaway healthier than mexican [06:27] .

[06:29] I have a partition that does not appear to have been a gpt...yet if I try to make a partition the same size (976751937 blocks) both fdisk and cfdisk seem unable to do so. I'm thinking the drive came from the manufacturer with a partition and I just mkfs.ext3'd it. Any idea how to recreate that size of partition exactly? [06:29] hi [06:30] tmg1|fml, why would you like it to be of the same size? [06:30] hi gry [06:30] do you think cheese pizza is healthier than other kinds of pizzas [06:30] im trying to order one but i cant tell whats healthies [06:30] t [06:30] monsegur, I had attempted to forward you. Please follow. :) [06:31] couldn't give advice here, as it depends on the cheese heavily — I am allergic to cheese. [06:31] gry I accidentally dd'd the first 1gb of my disk. I made a backup image of the disk (post-dd) and if I remove the (nonsensical) partition table and create a new one starting on the correct sector, fsck -b correctly finds a superblock...but the partition I create is too small [06:32] tmg1|fml, I see. [06:32] what about flour [06:32] is there different kinds of flour [06:32] monsegur, you should have an invite. [06:32] oh here [06:33] tmg1|fml, it's a complicated question, I had never formatted things. Please stick around for a few minutes. [06:34] tbh even if it's not precisely the same size, as long as I get relatively (99%) close to the size of the disk that might be ok. Any help is appreciated, take your time [06:34] but it seems like fsck can only do 512gb and cfdisk can only do 1tb images [06:34] yet somehow this was possible with what...might have been? just a mbr [06:35] !foo [06:35] foo is [baz|bar|wibble] [06:35] wat [06:35] oh [06:35] I highlighted someone [06:35] wheezer, hi. [06:35] hey gry [06:35] Thanks gry [06:37] hello [06:37] please [06:37] hi. [06:37] when i installed adobe reader [06:37] it said that the package is bad quality [06:38] why? [06:38] Nickd55345353: what was the exact error message? [06:38] i installed it from the official site [06:38] Nickd55345353 Where did you get it from? [06:38] the official site of course [06:38] that could be; it is a third-party package not reviewed by anyone from the ubuntu community [06:38] if you really like to look at pdf files, there are okular and evince packages available which do the job pretty well [06:38] Nickd55345353, And the official site is? [06:38] Nickd55345353: pastebin if verbose [06:38] adobe.com [06:39] Nickd55345353, Not supported here. [06:39] if you're concerned, I would contact the Adobe support and ask them what they've done [06:39] xD [06:39] no i am fine [06:39] but i was wondering [06:39] ty though [06:39] in 99% of cases you're not interested in their specific product as ubuntu has plenty (built-in even) means to annotate, view, and edit pdf files [06:39] yes i know that [06:40] if you like I can show you few tools which detect issues with a given package and give you a verbose output; is that what you'd like to see? [06:40] but my windows pc only supports adobe reader and i want to transfer pdfs and stuff [06:40] that's fine, it's a pretty open format and the files should just work out of the box I believe [06:40] yes tell me if u can [06:40] give me a few minutes and I'll do that [06:41] Nickd55345353: would you please give me the exact error message text? it would make it easier for me to look it up for you [06:41] yes [06:41] it said the quality of the package is bad [06:42] ok [06:42] Nickd55345353, It is not supported here, take it somewhere else. [06:42] ok bloke [06:42] you should be able to download the .deb and run this command against it: ``lintian ~/Downloads/where/did/I/put/it/name_of_package.deb'' and see details of the issues, hopefully [06:43] it works fine though [06:43] I hope that some extra understanding of how packaging works wouldn't hurt in this case despite the package being provided from an external source [06:44] gry, Why as a freenode staffer are you off topic earlier and supporting not support apps here? [06:44] Nickd55345353: if possible you should try to avoid using adobe reader because its 1. not free and open source software, 2. it is known for security issues, 3. its non-free software from the us. there are better solutions [06:45] hey guys I am having trouble editing /etc/fstab [06:45] doctorpenguin, Give us details [06:45] doctorpenguin: how are you trying to edit it? [06:46] such us [06:46] such as* [06:46] Beldar, I sent you an /msg if you don't mind taking a look please [06:46] tell me a better solution [06:46] I edited fstab for my raspi pi raspian to auto mount something for samba and I gave it auto,rw,exec,user. It mounts in ro despite what I specify [06:46] Nickd55345353: evince for example [06:46] doctorpenguin, This is ubuntu support [06:46] sec I will paste it [06:46] Nickd55345353, I mentioned evince and okular as some reasonably sane pdf reading and annotating software, pdfedit also lets you edit them [06:47] Nickd55345353: i would say every pdf viewer which is free and open source software [06:47] and raspian is a distro built on ubuntu [06:47] doctorpenguin, Not supported try ##linux [06:47] doctorpenguin: raspian is based on debian [06:47] join #linux [06:48] can you tell me which is the best?ty [06:48] Nickd55345353: the one you like most [06:48] Nickd55345353: the one you like most which is free and open source software [06:53] doctorpenguin, they have a #raspbian channel here I believe, as mentioned at their wiki. [06:57] hello [06:57] can u tell me one thing [06:57] Howdy tex [06:57] because i am new to linux [06:57] what security should i use? [06:57] Nickd55345353: are you thinking "security" like "norton" or "macafee" in the windows world? [06:58] something like that [06:58] they aren't really necessary [06:58] i know that linux are well protected [06:58] but i heard that there are a few viruses out there [06:58] Nickd55345353: Ihave been running Linux for almost a decade and I have never used a/v software [06:58] malware* [06:59] there's an antivirus (clamav) available, and rootkit checkers(rkhunter and a few others) but for the most part, most of the threats are simply not applicable [06:59] with only firefox (addons included) and firewall am i well protected? [06:59] Nickd55345353: I'd say you are good to go [07:00] good [07:00] Nickd55345353: probably not supported here but if you use firefox, try noscript extension out. It's stopped xss attacks for me, but otherwise your biggest threat is probably going to be whatever extensions you use/firefox [07:00] exit [07:00] careful with noscript though: it's not for everyone and can disable a lot of useful functionality [07:00] because i heard there are 800 malware for linux [07:00] no script. denied. [07:00] Nickd55345353: and almost all of them require you install them [07:01] oh [07:01] really? [07:01] My biggest worry is an entity like NSA/GCHQ discovering a security hole and not telling anyone so they can exploit it for as long as possible. [07:01] no drive by downloads? [07:01] Nickd55345353: If you are just browsing the web then most of them don't apply [07:01] hello after installing ubuntu 14.04 there is an errer '/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found' and grub rescue shell [07:01] Nickd55345353: as long as you stay with things in the repository you should not have any issues [07:01] Nickd55345353: without java how would they run? [07:01] seems to be fairly common problem. whats the best way to solve the problem? [07:01] i have java disable [07:01] or if anyone has a decent grasp of the problem could i ask some questions [07:01] disabled* [07:02] jj213, THis a dual boot? [07:02] Nickd55345353: where did you get that number from? [07:02] Hello, I would like to brows through the explorer with the keyboard. How can i expend menues etc. with the keyboard? [07:02] beldar yes, i have a windows loader in bios and two ubuntu boots [07:02] i read several articles about linux malware [07:03] and in wikipedia though [07:03] jj213, All efi installs? [07:03] Nickd55345353: I doubt that any of those 800 are targeted at desktop use. If you don't run servers you are even better protected [07:03] no idea what is efi :z [07:03] they said that one trojan infected 25000 linux servers [07:03] but if you mean a boot device for os instead of mbr loader then yes(?) [07:03] and then i started being sad xD [07:04] jj213, You are not making any sense. [07:04] Nickd55345353: did you see that last word, servers [07:04] yeah probably not i have no clue [07:04] !bootinfo | jj213 [07:04] jj213: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [07:04] dont really want to study this thing but i guess ccant help it [07:04] Nickd55345353: if you're worried about trojans you can scan occasionally with clamav [07:05] i will do that [07:05] i found out that comodo has a version one linux [07:05] beldar what i meant back in the day there were no "os" loaders in bios boot devices but now i see there magically is a windows and ubuntu loaders instead of a hard drive [07:05] i used it on windows [07:05] ... [07:05] in bios [07:05] jj213, It is not in the bios [07:06] yes it is in the bios [07:06] Nickd55345353: everything can be exploited. Stick to the Ubuntu Software Center and don't download random crap, and don't run email attachments. Behavior not technology is how you will stay safe-ish [07:06] or i can see it in bios [07:06] !uefi | jj213 this is what you have [07:06] jj213 this is what you have: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

[08:03] yes i heard about it [08:03] it can do everything photoshop can do [08:03] it is available for linux too [08:03] or at least close enough to everything for most users [08:03] yes [08:03] its on linux [08:03] yeah it's available in ubuntu software centre iirc [08:03] but its no where near as powerful as photshop in my opinion [08:03] how will you rate it [08:03] nope but it works [08:04] out of ten [08:04] :P [08:04] 3 [08:04] :P [08:04] xD [08:04] I have never use phtoshoppe dunno [08:04] Catherine1: thatKitten: depends what you want to use it for, and how far up the learning curve you want to travel.

Any MaaS people here? I'm having trouble with booting once everything is set up. It boots and finds the pxe image, but then I start seeing the error 'hostname maas-enlist [repeated a few times] IP-Config: no response after 2 secs - giving up'. This keeps going until it boots into busybox because it has no root. [08:31] am new to ubuntu [08:31] everythinf that work with mint works with ubuntu [08:32] good^^ [08:32] My set-up is a little unorthodox because I have a DHCP server running on my router, and the MaaS is running on a separate machine on the network. I've configured dnsmasq on the router to find the MaaS machine for pxe-boot, but that's about it. I don't know how to get it to find the machine after pxe boot. [08:32] its because Mint is based on ubuntu [08:32] windowsxp, hi. [08:33] Hi [08:33] Chloe7, cristian_c, hi. [08:33] hi gry [08:33] I've installed lampp with tasksel [08:33] hello [08:33] gry [08:33] but I can't start it from command line [08:34] hello [08:34] there are no 'lampp' directories in /opt [08:34] Any ideas? [08:34] so anyone have the solution for a screen flickering problem at the bootup, am using ubuntu 14 [08:34] what is auto-call-prog.to? [08:34] isnt it just LAMP not LAMPP [08:35] am new to linux [08:35] sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start [08:35] windowsxp, how and when does it flicker? [08:35] windowsxp, well congrats on moving to ubunu [08:35] at the time of bootin' up [08:35] ubunu [08:36] thank you [08:36] ubuntu [08:36] ubuntu is a great choice :P esp since XP is not getting anymore updates [08:37] I don't know how to solve [08:37] yes i recently found that ubuntu is more powerful in doin' task [08:38] if anyone can help me assistin' in solvin' my bootscreen bootup [08:39] as in? [08:39] windowsxp: ? [08:39] yes xp here [08:39] what happens when u boot up [08:39] windowsxp: what do you mean 'bootscreen bootup' [08:40] am havin' a problem which bootin' up my ubuntu 14.04lts [08:40] wht problems [08:40] black screen with prompt pops up while bootin' [08:40] what they say === Chloe7 is now known as ghdgd [08:41] WHICH IS THE MOST SECURE LINUX DISTRO/ [08:41] ? [08:41] i see some command lines in the black screen and keeps on flickerin' [08:42] ghdgd, This is ubuntu support and that is a subjective matter. [08:42] !nomodeset | windowsxp [08:42] windowsxp: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [08:43] thank you ubottu, i shall try your link [08:48] windowsxp: dont thank ubottu , its a bot [08:48] thatkitten: am new to this site [08:49] ok [08:49] sorry [08:54] Is there Open Document editor for Android? [08:55] ? === whiskers75 is now known as Guest29043 [08:55] Hi all. Any MaaS people here? I'm having trouble with booting once everything is set up. It boots and finds the pxe image, but then I start seeing the error 'hostname maas-enlist [repeated a few times] IP-Config: no response after 2 secs - giving up'. This keeps going until it boots into busybox because it has no root. [08:55] My set-up is a little unorthodox because I have a DHCP server running on my router, and the MaaS is running on a separate machine on the network. I've configured dnsmasq on the router to find the MaaS machine for pxe-boot, but that's about it. I don't know how to get it to find the machine after pxe boot. [08:55] dont think so === Hakan is now known as Guest65349 [08:56] yeah. looks like if fsck tries to read past the edge of block 41422480 it gets a short read, so the filesystem has got to be as big as the original [08:59] Hello === Guest29043 is now known as whiskers75 [09:00] hi [09:00] bbl [09:00] hello [09:01] What is the stable kernel for ubuntu-server ? [09:01] I'm currently running 3.13.0 and i see that my pkg manager held back linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic. Any idea why it would do that? [09:01] Will Ubuntu Touch have Open Document editor? [09:01] hey ops how often should I perform a system update ? sudo.... [09:09] tortib: which pkg manager? [09:14] tmg1|fml: not yet, i'm digging stuff in the link you gave me, gotta try some stuff :) [09:17] after installing chromium i see gibrish in the url search line when switching between languages .... anyone ? [09:17] im getting login attempts from my ISP from their domain on my pop3d server... any ideas why? [09:18] kittykitty: that sounds strange. How do you know it's from your ISP? [09:19] the log file :P [09:19] kittykitty: And what did the log file say? [09:19] its all from stuff likt "admin@sky.com" and "dave@sky.com" lol [09:19] one sec, pastebining it [09:20] http://pastebin.com/A0zjK1xp [09:21] xauth, i emailed admin@sky.com from that server this morning with the log attached and hopefully they actually get it, i hope i didnt cause any problems x.x [09:22] kittykitty: chase 220.225.17.241, not the admin@sky.com. I suspect admin@sky.com is not reliable. [09:23] i got a 550 rejection from mailing them anyway [09:23] 220.225.17.241 is a level 15 sky server x.x [09:25] kittykitty: whois points to "Reliance Communication Ltd". Is that your ISP? [09:25] nah, its sky lol [09:26] but it also points to a login page for level 15 access which is weird, looks like their main server [09:27] kittykitty: what does it mean to "point to a login page?" [09:27] if you open the address in a browser its just like their router login pages [09:28] kittykitty: wait... you get strange connections from an IP address, and you put it into your browser? Doesn't strike me as a safe procedure. [09:29] xauth, yea, im stupid. Just wondering if i should contact them or whatever [09:32] kittykitty: Use the whois databases to find who owns 220.225.17.241, find their abuse contact, and report there. [09:32] kittykitty: It's probably some bot infected computer scanning for easy passwords. [09:32] lol ok [09:33] india, seems legit for the UK to be stationed there [09:34] Hello people. I just installed 'backbox' in my system.I set a password during the installation.After logging in when I want the super user mode,it is returning authentication failed. [09:34] Doesn't matter. They have no reason connecting to your pop server, so it's almost certainly a password scan. [09:34] Is there any default root password ? [09:35] no [09:35] use sudo ticktoe [09:35] kittykitty: which means 220.225.17.241 is probably infected, which means they should (ought to) be happy to hear about it. [09:36] xauth, they probably wont be, cant find a suitable address to contact them on lol [09:36] the uk doesnt like 'hackers' [09:36] theyd probably think listening on a port is 'hacking' T_T [09:36] bazhang, that's what I do. Say if I want to install a package,I am doing sudo apt-get install package. [09:37] Will Ubuntu Touch have Open Document editor? [09:37] kittykitty: your UK ISP is not involved in this at all. [09:37] bazhang, I also use mint. In that if I give su and after that,it won't ask for password.But here it asks for password everytime/ [09:38] who do i contact then? They say theyre sky when they send emails to it... [09:38] bazhang, is there any other way to do this? [09:38] kittykitty: whois is giving me a perfect abuse address. [09:38] what address would this be? [09:39] antiabuse.support@relianceada.com ? [09:39] Go here: https://www.apnic.net/apnic-info/whois_search [09:39] Macbook Pro Question - How do I install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, 15 inch with intel processor? [09:39] kittykitty: voila. [09:39] lol ok [09:40] Current operating system is OS X 10.9.2 with build version 12C64. [09:40] thanks xauth ! [09:40] Then again, don't get your hopes up. Usually you get an autoresponse and nothing more. Sometimes the hacking doesn't come back. [09:40] ok [09:40] ill keep an eye on it [09:41] it just looked like they were having problems from my log info [09:41] is it possible that their real target was my ISP? [09:41] ~ [09:41] kittykitty: Could be. You never know. [09:41] does that mean that i need to let them know too? [09:41] kittykitty: they'd be scanning your ISP's addresses for their pop servers. [09:42] ok [09:42] Hello? [09:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [09:42] Thanks, sh4tr. [09:42] kittykitty: Your ISP probably sees these scans in their logs as well, at their real POP servers. They should be on it themselves. [09:43] ok [09:43] kittykitty: Scans like this are really omnipresent background noise on the internet. [09:43] Yea, ive had a few, was just wondering because it looked like if fucked up their pop3 internal network or something [09:44] how do you think is it ok to install ubuntu 12.04 on server? [09:44] or it is old? [09:44] loa ive still got mine on 12.04 [09:44] i need fileserver with samba and gateway. [09:44] but if youre just installing now, go for latest LTS [09:44] i will use shorewall for it. === administrator is now known as Guest44314 [09:44] kittykitty, i found problem with raid in 14.04 [09:45] loa, then use 12.04 idk :P [09:45] there no bootdegraded option now [09:45] 12.04 do it very well. [09:45] well, youre screwed if you need to upgrade === khaitanya is now known as Guest4193 [09:47] ffs, sky is so bad that their complaints and support chat is always busy lol [09:48] As long as they pass your data and all your data... [09:50] xauth, hmm? [09:50] xauth what about data? [09:50] kittykitty: What your ISP should do: pass your data in and out. [09:50] xauth, yep, that happens, and my pop3 is getting through too so thats all good [09:54] t [10:00] Hello. Which mobile OS fully does (or will) support open documents? === ragle is now known as Guest20780 [10:01] which is not? [10:04] Cpluspluser: you mean open office documents? [10:04] WXZ: open document standard [10:07] yo [10:07] I guess txt files are the open document standard. Every os can view it. [10:08] how do i encrypt a file ? [10:08] The odf files are for desktops, not for mobile. [10:08] i need gadget for cpu usage anyone? [10:09] To encrypt a text file, you must generate a gpg key for yourself. [10:09] I did Fuzzywhirlpool [10:09] but when i encrypt a file it says Permission denied [10:09] Help? [10:09] gpg -r yourname@mail -a --encrypt filename [10:10] i use nautilis Fuzzywhirlpool === cry0g3n is now known as Guest60185 [10:11] how do i encrypt a file ? [10:11] If you want a secure encryption, you have to generate a gpg key. [10:11] i did dude [10:11] but when i encrypt a file it says Permission denied [10:11] issue `gpg --genkey` [10:11] i did === Guest60185 is now known as bl00dy5p1d0r [10:12] what is permission mode of your .gnupg directory?

[10:27] is it safe to remove all ethernet drivers if i want to disable all networking support ? [10:27] is there a better way to go about it? [10:28] MagicSpud: they would likely be in your WINE C: directory, you could delete them from there if that's where they are. [10:28] They are not listed on the wine uninstaller and no shortcuts on wine menu either [10:28] gener1c: what's the task? why do you want no networking? [10:28] i want it to be a kiosk [10:29] and i want networking off forever and ever [10:29] no dhcp no static no nothing [10:29] daftykins: simply deleting them? [10:29] MagicSpud: sure [10:30] gener1c, if by "removing drivers" you mean blacklisting them (not really moving/deleting/renaming them), then it is perfectly safe as far as I know. [10:30] gener1c: is it possible to remove the network card? Thats the easiest way to disable it I can think of [10:30] integrated im afraid [10:30] gener1c: or if it's onboard, disable in BIOS - assuming Linux takes notice of that? :D [10:30] gener1c, but a better way is to simply tell the Network Manager "NOT to connect automatically". [10:30] cant disable [10:30] tried to do it [10:30] this bios even after an update [10:31] has the option enabled as a label [10:31] so i cant change it [10:31] for some reason its grey [10:31] "greyed out" [10:31] daftykins: how will i do that? [10:32] i already trimmed down the /etc/newtwork/interfaces [10:32] holy fsckin hell [10:32] 4:30am still no mail server [10:32] :S [10:33] billybigrigger: none of that language and support questions only thanks [10:33] sudo update-rc.d remove network-manager ?

[10:47] how i can recover from it? [10:48] I can not get it. I installed ubuntu 12.04 and tried bootdegraded=true but looks like system can recover only when first disk working.

[11:49] you need to ask the actual question [11:50] I'm trying to get the Plex Media Server to run WITHOUT having a browser window open and not relient on the browser being open or closed [11:50] have you tried asking them? [11:50] On Windows it run in the Notifications Area and I have other Ubuntu applications that run in the Notification area.. is there a way to do this with Plex [11:51] Well I was just wondering around and noticed this channel so I thought I might ak. If no one knows no biggie [11:51] Plex is a third party program so there's no sense asking the OS support really [11:51] Couldn't hurt to try right? [11:51] they probably have a channel, have a look [11:52] not unless i sharpen the knives again, i suppose ;) [11:53] [11:53] [11:53] Thanks for the help!

[12:22] weric i guess you best ask that question on their own forum, on that same site [12:22] daftykins: just works ? Should I get a message or notificatio or something?? [12:22] weric: i have no idea [12:22] but i'd certainly check for printers... [12:28] anyone know how to add a debian patch to and debuild a package using bazaar to test the patch in ubuntu?

[12:33] i wonder the same [12:34] btw is there really no way to backup and restore gnome3 panel settings? [12:34] there used t be [12:34] this is freenode isnt it? [12:34] it is [12:34] keep it on topic thanks [12:34] daftykins, it's on topic [12:34] on topic? We're talking about ubuntu, what topic would you like?! Jeez... [12:35] it's on 14.04 [12:35] or you mean now ubuntu offers support only for unity? [12:35] arguing it will only make it worse for you [12:36] no, there are the other desktop derivatives too - LXDE, XFCE, KDE... [12:36] I'd have thought there's little support for shell tbh but iirc there are the gnome3 packages etc [12:36] whatever is in the official repos is supported [12:36] daftykins, what are you talking about? arguing what? we are talking about ubuntu [12:36] drop it, pa. [12:37] gnome-flashback, in the specific [12:37] jesus, even bullies here [12:37] drop what? you're being an a-hole for no reason, we're in the ubuntu channel talking about ubuntu [12:37] so go back to your cave [12:37] no you were ranting about what network it is :P [12:37] Pici: Can you do something about daftykins please? [12:37] now grow up and move on. [12:38] Can we keep it on topic please [12:38] thanks daftykins [12:38] so yeah pa, gnome3 [12:39] there should be indirect support for it, I mean canonical might not support it but you can bet the community will [12:39] as i just said, anything in official repos is supported - PPAs are not [12:39] so are you telling us that gnome3 is NOT in the official repos or what? [12:40] ping [12:40] i have no idea if it is or not :) [12:40] daftykins, then your argument is moot and you have given no helpful information whatsoever [12:40] i tried to grep in my home, it seems that the only data might be in the dconf database [12:40] pa, we're not all like this [12:41] pa, what is it exactly you're trying to do? [12:41] hey [12:41] what i said is not an argument, it is factual policy [12:41] i just configured the desktop in gnome-flashback [12:41] HI [12:41] successfully installed i3 window mangager on ubuntu. but how do I uninstall unity and keep the global menu bar [12:41] what i want now is to back it up [12:41] so that i can restore it quickly [12:42] everything you need to backup should be dconf and ~.local/share/gnome-shell iirc [12:42] i want to install ubunt 12.04 on my desktop. I tried it before but i need to install wifi drives to have any chance of success.. the instructions for the adoptor tell me to download build essentials. How can i download package, with all dependencies, to a USB stick from windows? [12:42] googling i find only solutions for gnome2 [12:42] xteejx, no such dir in 14.0 [12:42] just checked [12:43] harm: can't you just temporarily cable yourself in, if the system has wired networking? [12:43] How can I remove old application links from the KDE menu? I did sudo apt-get purge amule but the link in the start menu remains. [12:43] damn why do things keep moving :( [12:43] yeah :( [12:43] daftykins: no wires.. [12:43] things keep moving and tools keep changing [12:43] pa, stay on topic haha [12:43] :) [12:44] anyway, i think what i want might be inside .config/dconf/user [12:44] harm: make sure you install with the very latest media and that should give you better support - 12.04.4 is latest, although why not pick 14.04 now? [12:44] Something really weird is happening. When I boot my computer, mid way through the bottom process, the screen switches from high resolution on the console to low resolution. It run xwindows on the background without me even starting it and it then tells me that I have low resolution. How do I fix that? [12:44] but i don't know how to pull out only what i need [12:44] bottom = boot [12:45] Does anyone have a partman recipe for LVM + RAID 6 that they can share? I'm not getting much of anything working... [12:45] pa, hmm... [12:45] daftykins: 12.04 is officially supported by my wifi dongle... and 12.04 is LTS and i dont see advantages of 14.04? First i want a working system [12:45] hi guys... newly built PC , new install of 14.04 - sound is coming out with lots of interference - any ideas ? TIA [12:45] pa, I mean the simple solution would be to back it all up but specifics now its all changed, pass sorry dude [12:45] etronik, not too loud is it? [12:45] harm: yes they're both LTS. [12:46] i can at least verify it by renaming it and see if i lose the settings [12:46] moment [12:46] xteejx, don't think so... output volume is at 50% === dannixon_ is now known as Guest67431 [12:46] daftykins: alright, so back to the question, how can you download build essentials + all dependencies? [12:46] etronik, try lowering it and turning the speakers up, failing that it could be a buffer or driver issue [12:46] xteejx, I have Analog Output - is that right ? [12:46] harm, apt-get install build-essentials? [12:47] etronik, unless you're connected vi a digital output, yes :) [12:47] xteejx: sorry i meant to a USb stuck from windows.. so i can install the packages on my ubuntu [12:47] BRB [12:47] yes [12:47] xteejx, lower volume & turn up speakers - is the same - now I notice that sound is coming out in spurts... [12:47] i was right [12:47] well [12:48] i guess i'll back up the whole db then [12:48] harm, there was a thing called apttocd if it's still around? [12:48] pa, ahh :) [12:48] and wish gnome guys to go dig in some cave [12:48] etronik, see if theres any kind of buffer options or the like, sounds like it's getting 'stuck' [12:48] pa, lol [12:49] xteejx, buffer options ? where do I check those? [12:49] etronik, It was a suggestion, I have no idea lol [12:49] ok, checking https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [12:50] etronik, I was just looking for that page as it happens :) [12:50] hi. wanting to rip my dvd collection, but many of the discs are only ripping tiny fines? [12:50] n1md4_, got libdvdcss etc installed? [12:50] yeap [12:51] using libdvdread4/install-css.sh [12:51] n1md4_, what is happening instead, i.e. any particular filetype being ripped and others not, what software you using, etc? [12:51] using handbrake [12:51] it doesn't give errors, but the filesizes are really too small [12:52] how small? [12:52] eg general movie ~1G. a failed rip is as small as 103K [12:53] whoa ok.... [12:53] another 5.4M and other 1.7M [12:53] sounds like Sony's ARCCoS protection [12:53] do you have the required encoders for the preset you want to use, also copyright maybe? [12:53] snap [12:54] not sure what encoders i might need [12:55] I'm assuming dependencies for that stuff are resolved and they get installed but not always....as daftykins says it could be a copyright protection on the disc. What films you trying to rip outta interest? [12:55] Hi guys :) Hope you're having a good morning so far! [12:55] tawr, *afternoon :p [12:55] i think we might be in a bit of a grey area as to whether we can really assist with such tasks anyway [12:56] well, deadly top 10 (deadly 60 series) [12:56] xteejx: does apttocd work on windows? [12:56] we as in Canonical because I represent myself...if the guy own the discs he has a legal right everywhere to make a backup [12:56] harm, pass [12:56] nah nobody here is official, this is volunteer run - but it's 'we' as in channel policy [12:57] and network policy [12:57] I'm about to install ubuntu onto my laptop, just finished cleaning up partitions and making space. What is a good amount of space for a full install of ubuntu, and the current recommended partitioning scheme? [12:57] well, we could debate legality 'til we're blue in the face but i don't really fancy touching that one [12:57] daftykins: should be okay :) http://torrentfreak.com/uk-backpedals-plan-legalize-mp3-dvd-copying-140710/ [12:57] I haven't touched linux in almost a decade - [12:57] n1md4_: 'UK' doesn't really affect the world [12:57] ;) damn - that was my best shot [12:57] no worries. [12:58] I'll keep searching [12:58] daftykins, I'm well within my rights to advise a fellow FOSS user on how to use software. What he chooses to do with it is up to him. We cannot and should not penalise everyone because *some* make illegal backups (i.e. to distribute), to classify all Ubuntu users in such manner is both wrong and slanderous [12:58] i think you're getting a bit too serious about this one. [12:58] nahhhh net neutrality is the killer :p [12:59] tawr: totally depends on what data you might keep, in the form of media - but a base install would be happy with 3GB of space, so anything above that will be free for you to install more software [12:59] also depends how you partition, best to go with the default though [13:00] tawr: i personally still prefer to create a separate /home partition in addition to the root ( / ) partition to make backups / reinstalls easier, all of which would be EXT4 [13:00] nah default does a single, bit nasty to deal with in future [13:00] depends on use case ;) [13:00] that goes without saying. [13:00] daftykins - thanks for your input. I'm old school (think 2.0.36) is where I left off [13:00] xteejx: hope he stays away ¬_¬ [13:01] oops, nick highlight [13:01] I'm used to /, /home, /usr, and swap installs [13:01] ah i've never done /usr separate [13:01] tawr: you can partition it however you feel best meets your needs [13:02] i think ill go ahead and give it say 100gB with /, /home, swap systems [13:02] and i can always make them larger in the future [13:03] Sorry, I meant to say 200gb [13:03] hello, i'm installing the software for my passport reader [13:03] Should I do / as 100gb and /home at 100gb? or what would you do with 200gb? [13:03] but it requires libfontconfig1 >= 2.9.0 [13:04] tawr: I wouldn't waste 100gb on / [13:04] ikonia - 50/150? any input is greatly appreciated. i usually install a bunch of stuff so i was giving myself some headroom [13:05] and is the rule still 1:1 ram to swap? [13:05] my headphone pin got stuck inside audio jack is there a way to play sound through laptop inbuilt speakers with still stuck pin inside? [13:05] tawr: I'd be surprised if / needed to be bigger than 10GB for pretty much anyone [13:05] tawr: no [13:05] HaaPut - should be an option to. the switching of outputs is done in software [13:05] tawr, I currently have 46GiB for / and ~167GB for /home and I only have 8GB occupied in /. And I have a lot there. [13:05] Can Wayland be used in place of xorg? [13:06] skilz: it's not prouction ready yet [13:06] skilz: hence why it's not in the distro [13:06] Daekdroom - thanks. I guess I'll do 25gb for / to be on the safe side and the rest for /home. What is the rule for swap currently? [13:06] ok [13:07] tawr: apply common sense to your needs is the rule [13:07] i have small virtual console attached with USB. what i want is to use it (only) as main console. also i have a HD display which i want to use for gui. is there a way to set up the console and the display such that my device boots gui (and the keyboard inputs go there) and switch to console with alt+f1 such that keyboard inputs go to the main console? [13:07] (do you understand what i want? :P) [13:07] tawr, if you need hibernation, you actually need a little more than your RAM amount, but I don't know what the formula is for that. [13:07] tawr: 25B is a very large /, if you feel you need that do it, however again, I'd be very surprised if it ever got near to 10GB [13:08] I have no problem allocating - I'm very interested in getting back into the 'groove'. I'll do 1.5-2.0 for swap to be on the safe side [13:08] 1.5 what ? [13:08] (I actually have 275gb free on that drive, plus another 200gb free on another partition for windows) [13:08] ikonia, sorry ratio of ram to swap. i.e. 16gb ram x 1.5 = 24gb swap [13:08] why ? [13:08] my headphone pin got stuck inside audio jack is there a way to play sound through laptop inbuilt speakers with still stuck pin inside? [13:08] why would you do 1.5 or 2x ram ? [13:09] tawr: if your machine is using 2x ram in swap, your machine is already dead [13:09] so why make that situation ? [13:09] you appear to be just picking random numbers rather than applying thought [13:09] tawr, if you don't need hibernation, I wouldn't even do that much swap, specially considering how much RAM you have in the first place. [13:09] tawr: can't find where to do it [13:10] I do need hibernation (laptop) [13:11] HaaPut - i answered bud [13:12] i cant access the windows network from nautilus, what can i do ?

[13:33] Artemis3, what do you thing about this link? https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd [13:33] quick question again guys [13:33] how do I 'break' a windows partition from booting? my laptop came with a hdd with win8, I installed an SSD and used the recovery software to install windows on the ssd [13:34] but my computer freaks out now and again and boots the wrong windows drive (hdd instead of ssd) and they are both listed exactly the same in the bios so it takes 30 minutes of playing around to get back to the right hdd [13:34] and i'm sure that's going to cause problems with the ubuntu install [13:34] in fdisk, disable the bootable flag for that partition. [13:35] what is xchat [13:35] peyam, looks good, deadline is for performance. Some people don't care, but reducing writes is good imo.

[14:52] bekks, https://gist.github.com/lewisdiamond/66d0bbabd75338a83938 [14:53] ice9;~ you could try the intel linux driver [14:53] philinux: I'm using it already [14:54] ldiamond: 13G are used as cache and about 600M are "used" by applications. No need to worry. [14:54] Is it possible to start a preseed install with a specific preseed file which loads up the network console, then in the console manually choose another preseed file and carry on with the install using the new preseed file? I'd like to do this so I can choose which preseed to use for a given machine, after it comes up on the network with the console. [14:54] ice9;~ have you tried without intel driver? [14:54] bekks, where do you see that 600M? [14:54] I see 4987m [14:55] philinux: no I can't mess with uninstalling it but it break things, I happened before, but in 13.10 it was working with intel driver too [14:55] ldiamond: And above that, you can see: 13630. 13630 - 13076 is round about 600M. [14:55] ice9;~ how about using an older kernel from the grub menu [14:56] philinux: will try that [14:56] ice9;~ so nothing in .xsession-errors [14:57] ldiamond: This website explains it, too: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [14:58] philinux: init: at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast, stopped [14:59] ice9;~ thats assistive tech [14:59] philinux: this one too init: indicator-bluetooth respawning too fast, stopped [14:59] bekks I'll check it out [15:01] bekks, that's the number I was looking at though. [15:06] bekks, can you explain why you subtracted the used memory including buffers and caches and the free memory excluding buffers and caches? [15:07] That just gives me the difference between what's actually used by applications and what's completely free... no? [15:09] ldiamond: Correct. And thats the interesting value. The more RAM you have, the more will be available, for buffers and cache - and may be used by applications as well. So we just need to know whats actually being used by applications, disregarding buffers and cache. [15:10] My understanding is that those values are exactly that: -/+ buffers/cache: 4987 13076 === Jesse__ is now known as filadome [15:10] 4987m being used, excluding buffers and cache. 13076 free. [15:10] ice9;~ not sure where to go now. try an older kernel maybe. also when it crashes open terminal and use dmesg command see if anything there [15:11] ldiamond: And thats wrong. [15:11] Hey , I need to mirror a full website [15:12] philinux: ok thanks a lot I will try another kernel [15:13] ldiamond;~ post link from this. free -m |pastebinit [15:13] philinux, https://gist.github.com/lewisdiamond/66d0bbabd75338a83938 [15:13] ldiamond: 18064 total available. 13630 "in use by whatever". 4987 of 13630 in use for buffers. 13076 of 13630 in use for buffers and cache. So: 13630 - 13076 actually in use for applications. [15:14] bekks, that's not what this site says: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [15:14] ldiamond: Actually thats ehat that site says. [15:15] 4987 is 13630 - 3002 - 5639 [15:15] approximately. [15:16] ldiamond: you are still using the wrong column. [15:16] ldiamond;~ used is shown as 4987 and free is shown as 13076 [15:16] ldiamond: The site says: To see how much ram is free to use for your applications, run free -m and look at the row that says "-/+ buffers/cache" in the column that says "free". [15:16] ^^ [15:16] philinux, that's what I'm saying. [15:17] philinux: buffers can be used by applications too. [15:17] ldiamond: ^^ [15:17] bekks, yes, 13076. [15:17] ldiamond: 13076 is totally free. 4900 are in use for buffers - and will be freed up when an application needs it. [15:17] 4433 is totally free [15:18] So _basically_ you have 13630-13076 in use. [15:18] ldiamond;~ nice explanation http://serverfault.com/questions/85470/meaning-of-the-buffers-cache-line-in-the-output-of-free [15:20] the site says: The second line gives first line values adjusted. It gives the original value for used minus the sum buffers+cached and the original value for free plus the sum buffers+cached, hence its title. These new values are often more meaningful than those of first line.

[15:31] bekks, everywhere I look online says that's not correct. [15:32] ldiamond: Every I look, it says it is correct, given the fact that buffers will be reduced in favor of application usage, whenever an application needs RAM occupied by buffers.

The state module is no longer used in iptables and was replaced with conntrack [16:42] rypervenche: 14.04 [16:44] nahtnam: Yeah, use -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED instead [16:44] nahtnam: Also make sure that ufw is turned off if you plan on using iptables [16:45] so `sudo ufw disable`? [16:47] nahtnam: I don't have enough experience with upstart to be able to answer that. Someone else here will have to help you with that. [16:49] rypervenche: Thanks a lot for your help!

[16:58] Guest79332: Hi (if you have a question,just ask) ;) [16:59] Hi, I am running ubuntu 14.04 LTS on Dell Studio 1555. The problem is that when I suspend the machine the next time the wireless is totally disabled. When I suspend the machine and run it again the wireless is working fine. (I have this problem after upgrading ubuntu) This occurs every other time at system boot up. Does anybody know what should I do? [17:00] mojtaba: Try to change WiFi settings... [17:00] milan: There is no wifi (ifconfig shows just lo) [17:01] does anyone know how to convert .install files to .rt files? [17:02] mojtaba: Hm, this is getting confusing. Did you try to restart your computer? [17:02] milan: Yes, and every other time it is working and not working. [17:02] ? [17:02] Hi, i have font/presentation issues with kvm-instances of ubuntu 14.04 on a 14.04 host. any idea how to solve this? the only hint, that i'm not the only one with this is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1968728 [17:02] mojtaba: maybe some strange error at /var/log/pm-*.log? [17:03] mojtaba: Is it possibly your wifi card? [17:03] I agree with that, maybe its hardware problem. [17:03] sydney: I did not have this problem before. (it is after upgrading to 14.04 LTS) [17:03] rt44: I have no clue... :P [17:03] Hello everyone, Lubuntu automatically locks the screen when my computer is idle, I think I marked the options to not do that, but it doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong? [17:04] mojtaba: It could still be your wifi card though. Do you have another on you could try? usb? [17:04] duckbug: which one? [17:05] sydney: no. :( [17:05] mojtaba: hmm... [17:05] It is working and not working with 100% probability [17:05] in each restart [17:05] mojtaba: if you hook it up using ethernet,do you have a prob? [17:06] sydney: I did not test that, because I do not have such one [17:06] mojtaba: ok ;) [17:08] Everytime when I open Skype and Chromium, Ubuntu gets laggy. I sent report about this bug. Is there any way to fix this? [17:08] BTW, I must shutdown computer because its too laggy [17:09] milan: arent' you just out of RAM? [17:09] milan: How much ram? What version of ubuntu? [17:10] 2gb of RAM, but its integrated on motherboard. The newest version of Ubuntu. [17:10] Is there a kernel update or anything that will make git checkouts stop crashing in 14.04?

[17:23] but yes, it was sitting at around 2GB used [17:23] sydney: i got the solution, issue resolved after creating a config file manually [17:24] apinsv: oh,good. You can use the fn+ brightness key on you keyboard also.

Then you can use the "sudo dpkg -i *" trick to install them once downloaded and copied to the target computer.

[18:55] trash-cli mystery solved: I did all of my experimentation on a shared volume and it created a directory ".Trash-1000" at the root [18:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790409/ [18:56] that is route-n [18:57] I have a rackmount server with ubuntu 14 on it. I have a mac. Im trying to run a game server, client and server reocgnize eachother, but server says ______ lost connection, and client says "timed out" any ideas what about my network maybe causing this? [18:57] varunendra, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790409/ is the result of route -n [18:57] Anyone know a repo for icecat/iceweasel that's kept up to date for ubuntu? All of the ones I've found are several months behind... not safe. Or perhaps another firefox/gekko based browser. [18:57] disabled firewall, checked that the needed port for the game is open [18:59] SupaYoshi, I think you also need to add a route to 10.15.1.0 via tun0 first [19:00] varunendra, how would i do that? [19:00] sudo route add default gw 10.15.1.0 tun0 [19:00] ?? [19:01] SupaYoshi, "route add net 10.15.1.0 tun0" ... then the "gw" command. Be aware that my knowledge about VPN tunnels is zero, just suggesting on the basis of my fundamental knowledge about routing table. [19:01] mhm. [19:01] Okay, then Im asking at openvpn first.

[19:08] Beldar, i got the nvidia driver (from nvidia) [19:09] xui, Not really an area I'm up on, you might address this more as the actual issue. Proprietary drivers are not supported here as well.

[19:22] SupaYoshi, you just quoted what I said to you. Am I supposed to take notice of it or comment anything? :) [19:22] eh, yah. I tried the command you said, and that didnt work either x_x [19:22] so i think its someting with openvpn. [19:22] I asked there, takes a while before they respond.

[19:28] Hello guys] [19:28] SupaYoshi, the routing table you posted doesn't show the changes that should exist after running the "route add" commands I suggested [19:29] I installed Linux on one hdd then put it in my laptop [19:29] it says, unknown host when i do that. [19:29] SupaYoshi, even with the "route add net..." command? [19:29] ryan_ and... [19:29] how do I connect to a WiFi network via command line [19:29] and have it autoconnect at startup [19:29] nightdemon666: I can't boot from USB [19:30] how old is the laptop ryan_ [19:30] nightdemon666: year ol [19:30] d [19:30] hi, what's the best way to setup a VPN on ubuntu? [19:30] verunendra, im jus gonna ask @#openvpn, cus I dun wanna dd anything stupid,a nd yes, even with that. [19:30] :/ idk whats going wrong. [19:30] have you looked in the BIOS settings ryan_ [19:30] nightdemon666: yes and nothing, just gives me "boot error" === gb_ is now known as Guest39699 [19:31] SupaYoshi, another correction : there should be a hyphen (-) before "net" (sudo route add -net 10.15.1.0 tun0) [19:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790544/ [19:31] ryan_ by 'nothing' what do you mean, you either have; option to boot from usb, or you must tell the bios to boot from that drive first in the list... in other workds, you may have to have the usb hdd prioity about inter hdd [19:32] nightdemon666: boot error pops up WHEN BOOTING INTO USB!! [19:32] nightdemon666: Jezzz [19:32] lol, just making sure i know exactly the error... can you boot it on any other computer? [19:33] nightdemon666: yes [19:34] SupaYoshi, hmm.. the "SIOCADDRT.." errors are returned by drivers depending upon network card's capabilities. But can't guess what it means in context of a VPN tunnel. So I'd like to bail out now.. :| [19:34] what linux os are you trying to boot?, and how did you load it? dd? unetbootin? [19:34] varunendra, np. [19:34] Ill jus ask them :P [19:34] nightdemon666: I plug my latptop hdd into my computer installed the O.S then put the laptop hdd back into the laptop, then try to boot from USb then all I get is "boot error" in other words [19:36] ryan_ the hdd of the laptop is pluggen via usb or internally installed? [19:36] *plugged in [19:36] nightdemon666: Internally [19:36] then why are you trying to boot usb, just wondering [19:37] nightdemon666: trying to install Ubuntu onto the HDD [19:38] could you not accomplish that when you installed (what ever linux os you installed) onto the hdd when you connected it to your computer? [19:39] nightdemon666: Meaning [19:39] ? [19:40] how do I get a script to run at boot [19:40] meaning, you said you installed linux os onto the internal hdd of the laptop on your computer, then installed the hdd back into the laptop... what linux os did you install onto the laptops hdd? [19:40] nightdemon666: yes that right [19:41] what so did you installl ryan_ [19:41] nightdemon666: I'll find out now for you [19:41] Eos [19:41] nightdemon666: Elementry OF [19:41] nightdemon666: Elementry OS [19:41] interesting.... couldnt you just do the same thing to install ubuntu or do you want to dual boot? [19:42] well anyway ryan_ you did say that the ubuntu loaded usb thumb drive boots just fine off of the computer just not off the laptop right? [19:43] nightdemon666: no [19:43] nightdemon666: it just says boot error from the usb when it's bootable [19:44] but im gonna ask this again, it boots correctly from computer? just not the laptop? [19:45] nightdemon666: what now the usb right? [19:45] * cemotyz09 laughs to himself [19:45] cemotyz09: why [19:46] yeah, i boot off usb all the time, but i trouble shoot... i try it on more than one computer, and if i get the same error code, then its the way i loaded the usb stick, if it boots from one and not the other, then i know its an issue with the one computer that wont boot it [19:47] some times, if you load the os onto the usb drive (live install) using unetbootin wont do it right, some times you have to load it via dd. some times you have to turn on the boot flag on the usb drive via gparted to get it to work. [19:47] §) [19:47] nightdemon666: I should know mate It's not the USB it's because I plugged the hdd to the pc and installed via the pc instead of the [19:47] nightdemon666: plugging it into the laptop it self [19:49] well, you should have been able to install via usb to the laptop without having to take the hdd out of the laptop... to me, it does seem the usb wasnt loaded correctly, or there is a boot priority misconfiguration on the laptop bios [19:49] nightdemon666: I don't know, could you help? [19:49] unless you have a mac. its a huge pain in the rear to install linux via usb on a mac [19:50] im trying to help you [19:50] nightdemon666: i hate mac [19:50] how did you load the linux os on the usb stick? [19:50] what program did you use? [19:50] nightdemon666: i install it on unetbootin [19:51] some times unetbootin wont do it. i suggest you use dd instead [19:51] nightdemon666: done that as-well [19:51] unebootin has not always been the reliable solution for me [19:52] you checked that there is a boot flag on the partition of the usb stick? [19:52] * rt44 has gone mad [19:52] nightdemon666: I dont know then I need this laptop working before tomorrow [19:53] if you need it expedited, then can you just burn a cd? [19:53] nightdemon666: cd drive dead [19:53] for some reason, running dchlient wlan0 makes it hang [19:54] it doesn't returnning anything [19:54] return* [19:54] then why dont you install ubuntu directly on to the hdd like you did with Eos? [19:55] nightdemon666: how will I do that [19:55] Can anyone help me connecting older computers running lubuntu to a single monitor? [19:55] i thought you said you installed Eos onto the laptop drive from a different computer... isnt that what you did to install Eos? [19:56] nightdemon666: yes but wouldn't the bootloader at like it's got my PC spec when it's not it's my laptops spec [19:57] nightdemon666: in other world wouldn't the spec be different [19:58] nightdemon666: in other words wouldn't the spec be different [19:58] its linux, you should be able to install linux os to that drive and swap it out onto the laptop. you can work out what works and what doesnt if you need to, but again its linux. if its a freash install, it wont make any differnt [19:58] nightdemon666: ok [19:59] nightdemon666: will it work [19:59] OerHeks: xubuntu 12.04.4 runs almost perfekt [20:00] thanks for the help! :) [20:01] it will work as long as you match the cpu archtecture, make sure the os your going to install is either 32 bit or 64 bit appropriately [20:02] both computers take the same kind of hdd right? [20:02] ryan_ i meant to type the messages about with your handle... [20:03] nightdemon666: Eh? :S [20:03] Hi all of you [20:03] I broke the repository window of Synaptic => http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/714761Capturedu20140713213059.png [20:04] HELP! Why cant my kernel find the root partition. It complains about not being able to find /dev/disk/by-uuid/something. Turns out /dev/disk dosent exist! What option do I need to compile my kernel with to enable it? [20:04] any idea to have it back ?, apt-get remove --purge and install already done [20:04] hwat i mean is, find out if your laptop is running 32 bit cpu or 64 bit. then load that os version onto the hdd using your computer. as long as both your computer and laptop support the same kind of hdd, which laptop hdd are smaller than most desktop hdd, then it will work [20:05] I think I missed something in menuconfig. [20:05] nightdemon666: okay what the os [20:05] Iv wasted most of today trying different bootloader options. [20:05] Im using 12.04LTS and latest kernel 3.4.98 [20:05] Guys help me chose the best O.S, I've got 2GB USB [20:06] @Ryan_ Puppy Linux is good for USB drives. === TheSojourner is now known as mjulian [20:07] TheNH813: Ok can I install PL OS onto my HDD and boot it from my HDD after installtion === gb_ is now known as Guest21443 [20:08] ryan_: Yes, but I though you meant to install to a flash drive. For a desktop I reccommend Xubuntu, Zorin 7 or Chakra. [20:09] Anyone know what I did to compile my kernel wrong? [20:09] TheNH813: I don't want Ubuntu products because of the "search spam" they do [20:09] ryan_: Ok, understood. Iv tried over a hundred, something will come to my mind.

[20:11] okee, iḿ a bit confused. one xubuntu 14 is set up to share folders with samba. the othe is set up the same after a fresh install, but i can only acces the first with win 95. so where else are settings which i should compare? [20:11] TheNH813, how should I go about doing that? [20:12] blz: You would need to edit X's config file, but if your not too used to the terminal/text interfaces it might be hard. [20:12] C'mon guys what is the best O.S for a 2GB USB [20:13] TheNH813, terminal is fine... I'm just not used to xorg [20:13] +ryan_: Im thinking, I have my review notes and im going throiugh. [20:13] TheNH813: ok [20:13] ubuntu [20:13] ruan_ i would go with lubuntu [20:13] ryan_ [20:13] rt44: he dosent want to use a Ubuntu variant. [20:14] suse? [20:14] lubuntu doesnt o the search spam does it? [20:14] you could just go with good ol debian ryan_ [20:14] ryan_ check out crunchbang [20:14] Yes, more specifically crunch..... haha you said waht I was gonna. [20:15] rt44: I can't have Ubuntu because of this - https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.html [20:15] Or another variant, they are prety good. [20:15] ok [20:15] suse [20:15] ?

[20:36] Ah, well then nautilus [20:36] anybody know if it's possible to boot ubuntu from a thumb drive, set the kernel option to load everything in the ram, and then install ubuntu as a full installation on the same thumb drive? [20:36] Ok, didnt know the name changed. [20:37] thumbdrive: You could multipartition it if its big enough. Only OS I know that does that is Puppy Linux and Slax. === mvatflipgiptinkm is now known as haooqnecrodextmj === haooqnecrodextmj is now known as sepero [20:37] TheNH813: ah, okay. thanks [20:38] terminal_: I think its in edit>preferences, Unless its not supported. or maybe View>thumbnails.

[20:55] blz: IT will automatically set it as default and configure X for you. [20:55] TheNH813, wonderful =) [20:56] I have /etc/init.d script that won't stop. now my computer won't. start. how do I fix it? [20:56] My grub "killed himself" last reboot: It was working great before, I didn't tweaked it or something. One of my dual screen was black ,so I rebooted with "sudo reboot" and now the only thing I get is a "_" blinking [20:56] blz: Your welcome. You do have to run it from text mode though. [20:56] TheNH813, right of course. Fear not, I'm quite comfortable withthe command line ;) [20:56] blz: check which kernels are installed "dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii" [20:56] blz: Ok, just making sure. [20:56] Perdouille: check if you have any external drives connected, like a usb drive, or maybe a dvd in your dvd-drive. It might be trying to boot one of those instead [20:57] TheNH813, oh you're absolutely right to double-check! [20:57] I tried geirha, I connected nothing more than the last time, when it was working [20:57] When I press shift at boot, sometime I got a "GRUB" before the blinking "_" [20:57] TJ-, I'm getting exactly one line of output: ii linux-image-3.8.0-41-generic 3.8.0-41.60~precise1 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP [20:58] I'm on a livecd right now, how can I know where grub is installed ? [20:58] Perdouille: sounds like grub is installed, but that it fails to boot the linux kernel for some reason [20:59] maybe an update or something [20:59] blz: It looks as if, since "linux-lts-raring" kernel package was installed in Precise, the kernel packages haven't been updated to Trusty's defaults. I'm not sure if that is intentional or a bug [20:59] TheNH813, I'm getting an error about an x server already running. How does one halt the x server? [20:59] TJ-, hmm. what should I do? [20:59] blz: Reboot witht he option text after quiet splash. [21:00] alguien habla español [21:00] Perdouille: when you do manage to get the grub menu up, are you able to choose older kernel versions?

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:00] TheNH813, is there a way to do that from an ssh session? I don't have physical access to this machine [21:00] There isn't any menu [21:00] it's blinking before the menu [21:00] blz: Like this ...quiet splash text [21:00] Perdouille: Ok, then I don [21:00] blz: ssh? Thats not good, if you reboot you will lose ssh. [21:00] blz: Try killall xorg. [21:01] right. up until now I was just starting a new ssh session every time I had to reboot [21:01] that shouldn't be a problem [21:01] Perdouille: Ok, then I don't understand what you mean by "sometime I got a GRUB before the blinking" [21:01] TheNH813, or no? [21:01] blz: Edit grub.cfg to have text after the rest. [21:01] Sorry for my bad english ^^ [21:01] Perdouille: what are you looking for again? [21:01] There is written "GRUB" [21:01] and the _ blinking next to it [21:01] blz: Well, the error(s) you're seeing point to an update that didn't fully complete, so if it were me I'd want to get to the bottom of that and fix it, before trying to manually workaround the immediate errors [21:02] blz: Open /boot/grub/grub.cfg, find the kernel options and add text. This will disable X for next boot. [21:02] Perdouille: hm, odd. Well, you could try reinstalling grub. You can do that from the live session [21:02] bprompt: My grub "killed himself" last reboot: It was working great before, I didn't tweaked it or something. One of my dual screen was black ,so I rebooted with "sudo reboot" and now the only thing I get is a "_" blinking [21:02] blz: or /etc/default/grub and change CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFALUT and append text. Run update grub and reboot. You will have to reverse this to reenable X. [21:03] TJ-, ok fair enough. any ideas on how to get to the bottom of it?

[21:03] blz: first thing would be to review the release-upgrade log-files. I seen to recall they are usually at "/var/log/release-upgrade" or "/var/log/dist-upgrade" [21:03] Perdouille: ok... tried getting in Safe Mode yet? holding shift-key while booting up [21:04] Perdouille: Hm, I'm starting to suspect hardware issues. Is this a stationary computer? maybe a cable has come slightly loose [21:04] Yes, it prompt 'GRUB' then the blinking "_" bprompt [21:04] hmmm [21:04] geirha: It's my own computer, I'm on it with a liveCD right now, and windows (8.1) is working great [21:05] Perdouille: you're on livecd right now, right? do you know where the linux partition is at? sudo fdisk -l <-- should list it [21:05] TJ-, hmm not much of interest in there... [21:06] I found with GParted, the Linux partition is at /dev/sdc2 [21:06] TJ-, although apt.log is complaining about a bunch of broken packages. coudl that be relevant? [21:06] blz: a long time since I did one and needed to check, but I do recall there was copious logging. [21:06] blz: Anything related to incorrect packages, versions, missing libraries, would be relevant [21:06] and I have a "Bios_Grub" partition at /dev/sda1, but it's maybe a "fake" one (when I tried to reinstall it) [21:06] TJ-, ok let me pastebin that, then =) [21:06] blz: DEFINITELY.

[21:19] Perdouille: hmmm I think you may also have to mound /sys yes... -> sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys [21:20] why do i need a pasword if i want to acces a folder wooth windows which is shared bu xubuntu? [21:20] Guido1, how are you sharing the folder? [21:21] blz: with samba [21:21] Windows is installed in /dev/sdb iirc, and /dev/sda is my SSD full of games, grub seems to be installed in it [21:21] blz: and as shared source [21:22] bprompt: http://pastie.org/9386665 [21:22] Guido1, maybe you need to enable anonymous access? It's been a while since I toyed with samba but permissions are a bit tricky, as I recall [21:22] Perdouille: right, for your case it'll be /dev/sdc but I can see what Bashing-om means... gtp scheme uses a whole partition area for storing bootable code and tables... while MBR doesn't.... [21:22] blz: the strange thing is that i have two laptops with the same samba configuration, but only one needs a pasword [21:23] is one unix? [21:23] blz: so i expect that the setting is somwhere behind the gui [21:23] blz: i have shared folders on unix [21:23] Perdouille: well... my ealier paste used /dev/sda yes, for your case it'd be grub-install /dev/sdc but.... hold one sec. I think Bashing-om is right, it may not work for a gpt partition [21:23] Guido1, yeah, /etc/samba/sbm.conf I believe [21:23] *smb.conf [21:24] blz: It should, but installing the proprietary driver requires a kernel module to be compiled and linked against the running/installed kernels (using the DKMS), so be aware you may face issues if the system's packages aren't correct. I suspect you can probably sort out the kernel issue by doing "sudo apt-get install linux-image" to pull in the default Trusty kernel [21:24] bprompt: Tried with /dev/sdc, same problem. [21:24] And I'm not sure Linux is on a GPT partition, only windows [21:24] I don't understand what's the problem :D [21:24] blz: can i just coppy it from one linux to another? [21:24] TJ-, ok let's give that a shot =) [21:24] Perdouille: If I may suggest, pastbinit the outputs of -> sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda , sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb . sudo parted -l <- so we know what we are working with. [21:24] Guido1, depends [21:24] I'm really not sure [21:25] I do the gdisk for every discs ? [21:25] or only a and b ? [21:25] blz: i will compare them [21:25] Perdouille: Gdisk for each known disk ( parted -l will list all of them ) . [21:29] I must type parted -l in the chroot ? [21:29] On the "real" livecd terminal it does nothing Bashing-om :/ [21:29] blz: Sorry, had to leave for a few minutes. I looked at the logs you posted. Seems like a few broken packages and dead graphics drivers. Installing the ones I linked will fix part fo the problem, apt-get install -f will fix the others. [21:30] TheNH813, ok cool, thanks so much! I'll get all that going as soon as I'm done pulling in the default Trusty kernel [21:30] TJ-, seems you're onto something. I just did [21:30] Ah it was sudo parted -l, i'm stupid :D [21:31] Hi, I have added the command alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' to .bashrc; but when typing update nothing happens. Should I do something else? [21:31] TJ-, I just did `sudo apt-fast install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic` and it seems like there are a few updates now [21:31] Perdouille: I bet you will have to install "gdisk" . Terminal command -> sudo apt-get install gdisk <- . [21:31] TJ-, scratch that. I'm an idiot. Actually `uname -r` still reports 3.8.0-41 generic [21:32] blz: runupdate-grun to set the new kernel as default [21:32] *update-grub [21:32] TheNH813, thanks! [21:32] blz: MAke sure to reboot.

[21:34] *your [21:34] *you're [21:35] Haha I guess you are right. Forgot the mark. [21:37] I have to go now, bye! [21:37] Bashing-om: bprompt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7790974/ [21:37] Have a nice day. [21:38] Perdouille: looking at your m/7790974/ . [21:39] I have installed Eclipse 3.8.1 from the Ubuntu repos, which should also install the Java dev tools, and eclipse-jdt and the JDK were also intalled as dependencies, but still I don't have a Java perspective, Java projects are not in the list of new projects etc. How can I add the Java functionality? === gb_ is now known as Guest9937 [21:50] Perdouille: This is above my skill level. Frive sdc is indeed with a linux install, but no EFI boot partition for GPT partitioning. And as well sde: -> Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format [21:50] in memory. [21:51] Do you know where grub is installed Bashing-om ? [21:52] Perdouille: I really do not know how to fix the booting situation. For sdc, I have to assume grub is installed as MBR ( Master Boot Record) to the head of the drive.// What results when you set in UEFI booting to boot from drive sdc ? [21:53] I can't :/ === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [21:53] In my bios (UEFI ? ), I can boot windows, it's like : "UEFI: Windows boot blablabla" [21:53] but for Linux, no "UEFI:***" [21:54] Maybe I could just reinstall grub on /dev/sdc? [21:55] Perdouille: I am confused, you have windows 8 installed ? .. Windows 8 is UEFI .. as to how the booting priority is set I can not advise, but there must be a way to set the booting priority order. [21:55] I have windows 8 on /dev/sdb, and Linux on /dev/sdc [21:56] To start Windows, I used to change the boot order every time (it's quickly done on my system) [21:56] so I don't use grub to start Windows [21:56] Perdouille: I've just looked at your 'parted' pastebin. My reading of it is that /dev/sdb2 is the EFI ESP which the firmware should be reading the EFI boot-managers from [21:56] Delete windows 8. Delete linux. Go outside. ???. Win. [21:57] Perdouille: True, as sdc has no efi boot partition, then in UEFI booting parameters is there a setting for something like "ccsm" to permit booting in a legacy mode ? [21:57] Perdouille: In order to have Linux added to the system's EFI boot manager menu, you'd need to ensure "grub-efi" is installed to the Linux system, tell grub to install to /dev/sdb2, and possibly manually use "efibootmgr" to add the Ubuntu entry to the firmware boot meny [21:58] I don't know, I just select the linux hard drive on bios, and it boot on it [21:58] Let's do like windows 8 doesn't exist on my system, how can I reinstall grub ? [21:59] Perdouille: the "bios_grub" flag on /dev/sda1 could be a "grub-pc" legacy boot partition [22:00] So I go on the chroot, I do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda1" ? [22:00] Perdouille: Do you want to continue with a mixed boot environment (EFI and Legacy) or do you want to make it all EFI? [22:00] I don't really care if it's mixed or not, it was working great before ^^ [22:01] I may reinstall everything during summer, so mixed will do the job until [22:01] (sorry for my bad english again ^^) [22:03] Perdouille: so you've mounted the rootfs and associated file-system into "/mnt/" so you can do a chroot into it? [22:04] I mounted the / of my linux installation, proc, dev and sys [22:04] (like bprompt told me to do ( http://pastie.org/9386615#4-6 ) ) [22:04] Perdouille: OK, I've got a 'tail' running on your comments since you joined this channel so I'm just double-checking what I'm reading there :) [22:05] Hi, I am using currently ubuntu 14.04 LTS on an old laptop; I have installed several apps on my system. I am going to buy a new laptop and I just wonder if there is a way to install all my apps automatically on a new laptop or transfer them?! [22:06] Perdouille: The first thing is to determine, for sure, which boot method the Linux install is using, legacy (-pc) or UEFI (EFI). If you do "dpkg -l grub* | grep ^ii" you should see a list of the installe grub packages. If you see only "grub-pc" it is a 'legacy BIOS' install, if you see "grub-efi" it is, obviously, UEFI" [22:06] TJ-: he lost his grub, at boot it lands at a grub> _ < -- prompt, but his linux partition /dev/sdc2 is GPT, thus I think my solution may not work [22:07] I got : grub-common. grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi-amd64-bin, grub-efi,amd64-signed and grub2-common [22:07] but it's maybe the "boot repair" thing that did the efi things === yabbounic_ is now known as yabba === gb_ is now known as Guest35064 [22:08] bprompt: It looks to me as if when Perdouille chooses to start Linux by selecting the "SAMSUNG SSD 830" 'sda', CSM does sda[MBR]->sda1->sdc2 [22:09] TJ-: that may work... but I think sda is not bootable, just data in it [22:09] Perdouille: OK, that would explain why grub fails to boot now, if it was previously using grub-pc - all those files that the sda[MBR]->sda2 code relies upon, has been uninstalled [22:09] I select to start linux with the /dev/sdc on my bios (WD20EZRX-00D) [22:10] the /dev/sda thing is maybe due to the boot-repair thing again :/ [22:10] Hi, I am using currently ubuntu 14.04 LTS on an old laptop; I have installed several apps on my system. I am going to buy a new laptop and I just wonder if there is a way to install all my apps automatically on a new laptop or transfer them?! [22:10] can someone tell me what your permissions are for /var/log? i have zabbix logs in there now, which are read by the zabbix server which is executed by the zabbix user, but somehow my /var/log changed from 755. I'm wondeirng if having 755 is bad practice [22:11] bprompt: sda has a GRUB bios_grub partition for the core image since it is a GPT disk, but from what Perdouille has just told us about the installed EFI packages that won't be used. [22:12] Perdouille: give me a moment to check the grub-install command line you need to ensure a correct EFI installation, that should be sufficient to get it to start [22:12] TJ-: hmm I see.. so a grub-install /dev/sda will actually suffice? === cls is now known as Guest4601 [22:14] Is there any way to transfer all the installed applications from one system to a new system? [22:14] bprompt: No, it won't, that is for a legacy BIOS installation used by "grub-pc", but Perdouille's system now has only the "grub-efi" libraries [22:15] can't i just reinstall grub-pc ? [22:16] Perdouille: can you check whether, in your chroot mount, you have /dev/sdb2 mounted to /boot/efi/ ? [22:16] mojtaba: How about : dpkg --get-selections will dump a list of all packages you have installed, so you can use dpkg --set-selections to reinstall them all later . [22:16] /boot/efi is empty [22:17] Bashing-om: Will I have all the configurations as well? [22:17] Perdouille: There is no "just" now ... Linux is currently configured to use EFI so the best thing is to simply ensure it is installed correctly so you can use it that way. Switching back to the Legacy BIOS install might further complicate the repair operation [22:17] Perdouille: As I thought it would be. OK. Enter the chroot first with "sudo chroot /mnt/" then you can do "mount /dev/sdb2 /boot/efi/" [22:18] I did that, still empty [22:18] Are you sure that linux is configured to use EFI, and it's not because of the boot-repair tool ? [22:18] Perdouille: Are you able to pastebin the output of "cat /proc/mounts" from within the chroot? [22:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791113/ [22:19] Perdouille: From what you've shown us so far, Linux is not configured to boot using either, but right now it has the EFI boot package installed so as it is an UEFI system it makes sense to simply ensure that works as intended [22:20] mojtaba: I do not think so .. just the packages, I think. [22:20] lsblk [22:20] Perdouille: OK, that pastebin looks good. Now, can you pastebin the output of "ls -altr /boot/efi/" from within the chroot? [22:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791118/ [22:22] Perdouille: Great :) ... and now, pastebin the result of "find /boot/efi" so we can see all the files and directories currently installed in the EFI System Partition [22:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791123/ [22:23] I just hope it wont break my windows 8 installation ^^ [22:25] i have a older moniter and i the highest res on it is 640x400 ik low but is there anyway i can force my laptop to display that so i can see it on the tv? [22:25] Perdouille: OK, that looks good. We can see all the Microsoft Windows boot manager files but no Ubuntu files (installed by grub) [22:27] mojtaba: Found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 <- along the same lines for pkg --get-selections -> etc ect. [22:27] Perdouille: OK, now let us check if the current live environment is using EFI or not. If not, the tools cannot directly add a menu entry to the motherboard's EFI boot menu [22:27] How do I do that ? [22:28] Perdouille: show me the result of "find /sys/class/firmware" [22:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791139/ [22:30] Bashing-om: thanks [22:31] hi === pascal is now known as Guest39477 [22:32] Perdouille: OK, the system is booted in legacy BIOS mode so it can't access the EFI variables of the firmware. That means you'll have to repair in several steps. 1) ensure grub-efi is correctly installed using "grub-install --efi-directory=..." (in a moment or two), 2) install an EFI shell, 3) reboot and use the new EFI shell to boot Linux once 4) From the EFI booted Linux, use "efibootmgr" to permanently add Ubuntu to the system's UEFI boot menu alongside Windows. [22:33] I got an efi shell iirc, I can boot it in my UEFI [22:34] hello I have a Problem to mount a 4TB big NTFS disk [22:34] Perdouille: You do? is a limited shell or fully operational? Many firmware-supplied shells have key commands missing from them, preventing things like altering the boot menu, booting other boot managers, etc. [22:35] I don't know if it's limited or fully operationnal [22:36] Perdouille: To save time I usually install the full unlimited shell by doing "wget -O /boot/efi/shellx64.efi https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/X64/Shell.efi" [22:36] I don't have internet in my chroot :/ [22:36] Ah [22:36] Perdouille: That command downloads from the Sourceforge Tianocore project [22:36] I can't ping google.fr, but I can ping 8.8.8.8 [22:37] I don't remember the command to fix this [22:38] Perdouille: OK, you didn't bind-mount "/etc/resolv.conf" ... so just do "echo "nameserver 127.0.1.1 > /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" and that *should* allow the chroot to use the system's dnsmasq resolver [22:38] Perdouille: typo! "echo "nameserver 127.0.1.1" > /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" [22:39] It's working [22:39] Perdouille: :) [22:39] I got the EFI shell [22:39] What do I do next ? [22:40] Perdouille: You wrote it directly to "/boot/efi/" as I showed in that command? [22:40] yes [22:40] I did the wget command [22:40] shellx64.efi is now in /boot/efi/ [22:41] Perdouille: That's good - it means if the firmware's shell is limited you can use the full shell from the limited shell simply by typing "/shellx64.efi" at the (limited) shell's command-line [22:41] Iḿ still strugling with samba. I found out that it can have to do something with lanman. Linux can open shared folders omn windows 95 and 98, but if i want to open a shared folder with 95 iḿ asked to enter a pasword which i didn set. [22:41] Perdouille: Call it insurance :) [22:41] Okay [22:41] Now, I must do the grub-install --efi-directory=... part, right ? [22:41] Perdouille: OK, next step is to correctly install grub as EFI... I need to double-check the command we need here, so give me a couple of minutes [22:42] Okay ! [22:42] (Thanks for the time you are dedicating to help me correct my mistakes :D ) [22:45] Perdouille: I *think* "grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi" might be sufficient for you, but I seem to recall discovering it needs a little extra to work correctly. The main issue here is that grub-install will try to use "efibootmgr" to add Ubuntu to the firmware boot menu but it can't right now, since the system isn't in EFI mode. That might lead to an error we need to workaround to ensure grub's libraries are fully installed. That's what I'm checking on now. [22:45] TJ-: It say that /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist [22:45] hello/ [22:46] Perdouille: Ouch! That suggests it is stuck in a half-way config between legacy BIOS and EFI. [22:47] Perdouille: I seen to recall I solved that simply by uninstalling/purging all the grub packages and then installing just the EFI packages. Let me check my notes [22:49] is there a way to mount a 4TB big NTFS disk under linux? [22:50] Perdouille: I think our easiest approach is to let the GRUB packages do the install automatically for us, by removing the existing packages and reinstalling [22:51] Perdouille: Can you do "dpkg -l grub* | grep ^ii | pastebinit" and tell me the URL [22:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791210/ [22:51] (pastebinit is awesome, thanks :D ) [22:52] does anybody know how to tell samba that the default group and file owner should be a a group? === ubuntu is now known as Guest70797 [22:55] Perdouille: I want to see the entire message you saw, to figure out where it is referencing that "i386-pc" file from ... can you do "grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --verbose 2>&1 | pastebinit" [22:55] grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --verbose 2>&1 | pastebinit" [22:55] fail, sorry :D [22:55] ;p [22:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791226/ [22:56] Perdouille: OK, I thought so - we need to specify the --target [22:58] hello world! [22:59] How do I do ? [23:00] Perdouille: Let's try this: "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Ubuntu --recheck --debug 2>&1 | tee /tmp/grub-install-efi.log" and then you can do "pastebinit /tmp/grub-install-efi.log" === root is now known as Guest32208 [23:00] i have a problem with ALSA and qjackctl [23:01] it says: ""/org/freedesktop/ReserveDevice1/Audio0": A handler is already registered for /org/freedesktop/ReserveDevice1/Audio0" [23:01] seems to work (It said the installation was finished, without any errors) [23:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7791240/ [23:01] Perdouille: Yay :D [23:01] I didn't "LC_ALL=C" before the command, so the last message is in french ^^ [23:02] Jack worked fine with Qsynth, until Mixxx was installed... === Guest32208 is now known as blox [23:02] Perdouille: You see the ending "Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables" ... that's because the system is in legacy mode, so everything is good except the firmware boot menu entry. [23:03] Ah [23:03] Perdouille: To be sure, you should now do an "update-grub" to ensure the grub.cfg is correct, too [23:03] done [23:03] any ideas? [23:03] Now ? === blox is now known as blux === blux is now known as cre8torx [23:04] ( edition: tried to reboot ?) [23:04] yes [23:04] three times [23:04] (That's the only thing I can say to you, sorry :D ) [23:04] went to default settings. haven't touched anything. [23:04] some application is stealing Audio0 [23:04] Perdouille: After this, you should reboot the system to the EFI shell, and then try manually starting the grub EFI shim by typing "/EFI/Ubuntu/grubx64.efi", or, it might be the slashes need reversing as in "\EFI\Ubuntu\grubx64.efi" [23:04] and preventing Jack from using it [23:05] Perdouille: If that works, it'll boot Ubuntu in EFI mode and we can finish off by adding the boot menu entry for Ubuntu correctly [23:06] ok. how to disable xubuntu session selector? [23:06] So: I reboot, I go to the EFI shell ( ./shellx86.efi in the motherboard shell), I type /EFI/Ubuntu/grubx64.efi (or \...), and I come back ? [23:06] shellx64, sorry [23:07] Perdouille: Yes... I think that is correct... It is such a long time since I worked that deep in UEFI boot shell I can't remember the precise commands - I do recall the full shell has great help though, if you type something like "?" and also " ?" [23:07] So let's try it, thanks :) [23:08] Perdouille: Good luck :) I'll go make a drink and await your return [23:08] Thanks ! === Guest44340 is now known as greatdex [23:11] TJ-: ! [23:11] It's working ! [23:11] But not the way you told me [23:12] It's weird, but it got fixed with the commands you told me to type on the liveUSB [23:12] hey all [23:12] I am heloping a friend with a Ubuntu 12.04.1 system running an fglrx-legacy and everything is fine, HDMI audio/video, yet on fast motion the video slightly jerks, anything we can do? [23:12] I had a new "Ubuntu" thing I was able to boot on [23:12] and it's working [23:12] Running Radeon 3000/RS780 === Guest10206 is now known as Elliott === Elliott is now known as Guest60246 [23:13] Perd0uille: Fantastic! [23:14] Thanks a lot ! [23:14] Perd0uille: probably the "Ubuntu" menu was installed by the boot-repair [23:15] Perd0uille: You're welcome. You can re-use that /dev/sda1 (bios_grub) partition now... and it might be a good idea to erase the grub MBR on /dev/sda to prevent the system even attempting a legacy boot that would get stuck [23:15] I'll do it, thanks a lot [23:16] I'll go to sleep now, I'm tired [23:17] Thanks again TJ- for the time you dedicated to help me [23:17] (And sorry for my bad english) [23:17] I was going to reinstall everything :D [23:18] Perd0uille: Don't apologise, your English was better than my French.. and better than many of my English friends! [23:19] bzr bd -S keeps telling me it can't sign using someone elses key...how do I tell it NOT to sign the source package and dsc? [23:19] I have to go, goodbye ! [23:20] And thanks everyone who helped me (I can't find your nicknames, too much people in this channel :D ) [23:21] seriously? does no-one use ubuntu anymore? 1-2 years ago you couldn't move for the scrolling of the window with people :( === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:25] still have issues with Jack :( [23:25] i give up [23:26] Oh looks like we got somewhere, looks like the Refresh Rate may have been set wrong by defaul [23:32] Jack is annoying [23:34] h [23:36] hello guys, is there any program show me the property software that i am installed into my ubuntu ?
