| Geo | Can I slide a bootable HD from machine A into machine B, knowing its /dev/path is different, and expect it to boot on its own? | 00:00 |
| ObrienDave | if you replace drives, i would suppose it would work | 00:01 |
| daftykins | Geo: /etc/fstab is populated with UUID values, so it should be fine - unless you've modified this by hand | 00:01 |
| schultza | Be back. | 00:02 |
| xangua | schultza: there is also avant | 00:02 |
| Geo | so the /dev/path doesnt matter at all for boot then | 00:02 |
| daftykins | Geo: nope | 00:03 |

| cuddylier | Is there a way to stop the 'find' command being recurrsive? | 00:12 |
| Geo | daftykins: it didnt work | 00:12 |
| Geo | it could be because the HD was SCSI, and the computer has SATA ports, but I'm pretty sure this is your bad advice's fault. | 00:13 |
| daftykins | Geo: a little bit more detail may be useful here :) | 00:13 |

| daftykins | or actual many-pins SCSI vs. SATA | 00:13 |
| === k is now known as stonner | ||
| Geo | many pins. Never bothered to check when I brought this stupid thing home. sigh. heh | 00:14 |
| daftykins | hah | 00:14 |
| daftykins | so what was your original task? | 00:14 |
| daftykins | what were you really trying to achieve | 00:14 |
| stonner | is that possible to build ubuntu from scratch? | 00:15 |
| Geo | just upgrading to a new box is all. Never thought to check the connectors. And I don't have any SATAs laying aronud. oh well, task for someone else to order some drives | 00:15 |
| rww | cuddylier: add the -maxdepth 0 parameter | 00:16 |
| Bashing-om | stonner: Sure ! .. see: Linux From scratch (LFS) . | 00:16 |
| daftykins | stonner: you can do an install from the mini.iso and install only packages you want... | 00:16 |
| daftykins | LFS != ubuntu ? | 00:16 |

| Keba | hi there | 00:23 |
| Keba | Is there a command which tells me *when* I have upgraded a package? | 00:23 |
| ObrienDave | like a 'history'? | 00:24 |
| Keba | yes, but I don‘t need a complete history, a "The last time you upgraded $foo was two days ago" would be fine enough | 00:25 |
| stonner | if i block incoming at wan interface (on my rouuter), my computers are safe? | 00:25 |
| nng | stonner: like with a firewall? | 00:25 |
| stonner | nng, yes, i use openwrt as my router distro, an i blocked incoming traffic | 00:26 |
| stonner | nng, wan traffic | 00:26 |
| ObrienDave | Keba, not sure. i run update every day. i know all my installed packages are fresh | 00:26 |
| roadtrip | printer problem. | 00:26 |
| Keba | /var/log/dpgk.log shows the information of the last two weeks | 00:26 |
| stonner | nng, are my computers safe. no backdoor has effect? | 00:27 |
| roadtrip | "rendering completed" but it won't print. Any idea? it was working fine last time. | 00:27 |
| nng | stonner: yeah I am wondingering if you are doing it with a physical firewall. | 00:27 |
| nng | if so you should be all set | 00:27 |
| stonner | nng, my physical router has firewall funtion | 00:28 |
| stonner | nng, function | 00:28 |
| stonner | nng, are my computers protected against backdoor? | 00:28 |
| nng | stonner: that works. Unless you forward some ports no one should be to connect directly to your computers. | 00:29 |
| * Geo LOVES the backdoor. | 00:29 | |
| nng | stonner: a back door would be if someone intentially left a way in. | 00:29 |
| stonner | nng, but, if my computers run some backdoor, is it protected? | 00:30 |
| nng | guys correct me if I'm wrong. I am rapidly getting to a point where I don't want to give bad advice. | 00:30 |
| Geo | to say you're protected againt malware by preventing incoming connections would be incorrect | 00:30 |
| Geo | There are tons of attack vectors that can be used, not all of which depend on someone connecting to your computer | 00:31 |
| stonner | Geo, against backdoor | 00:31 |
| Geo | if you are worried, disconnect your computer from the internet. | 00:31 |
| Geo | 'backdoor' isnt a specific thing, thats a concept | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | stonner, a backdoor is never safe, why? | 00:31 |
| stonner | Geo, i am not worried, but i work with network security | 00:32 |
| stonner | OerHeks, i think if my firewall on router prevents incoming connections my computers are safe | 00:33 |
| cuddylier | find . -name -maxdepth 2 "launcher" | 00:34 |
| stonner | the firewall will block all incoming coneections | 00:34 |
| cuddylier | Anyone any idea what is incorrect about that syntax? | 00:34 |
| cuddylier | The . is meant to mean the current directory | 00:34 |
| rww | cuddylier: put -maxdepth 2 before -name | 00:35 |

| treehug88 | hi everyone, I'm running a laptop with ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, and I just got a message about my HEW going out of support. What are the pros/cons of updating the HWE vs upgrading to 14.04? | 00:54 |
| edgar_ | hello | 00:54 |
| treehug88 | note: this is a machine I don't want to mess around with; it's used for production uses | 00:54 |
| treehug88 | (which is why I chose LTS) | 00:55 |
| daftykins | treehug88: "HEW" ? "HWE" ? | 00:56 |
| rww | hardware enablement stack, i assume | 00:56 |
| treehug88 | daftykins, rww: yes, HWE, not HEW - that was a typo | 00:59 |
| treehug88 | rww: any input on this topic? | 01:00 |
| daftykins | which are you running? the quantal or raring HES? | 01:00 |
| treehug88 | how can I tell? lsb_release -a says "Ubuntu 12.04.4 LST, Codename: precise" | 01:01 |
| treehug88 | LTS | 01:01 |
| daftykins | good question. | 01:02 |
| treehug88 | any experienced ubuntu people here have input? I'm normally a redhat guy | 01:05 |
| daftykins | kinda the wrong time to ask i think | 01:05 |
| daftykins | treehug88: try grepping "dpkg -l" with each release name that has a HES | 01:06 |
| treehug88 | seems that way, daftykins :) | 01:06 |
| treehug88 | daftykins: HES? | 01:07 |
| daftykins | hardware enablement stack | 01:07 |
| treehug88 | I thought that acronym was HWE | 01:07 |
| daftykins | the one you said seemed to illogical to the words that i made one up | 01:08 |
| treehug88 | yeah, HWE is what my system calls it | 01:08 |

| treehug88 | yes... depending on what you want to make it do, Blue1 | 01:36 |
| treehug88 | axiom: backup software | 01:36 |
| treehug88 | or samba, to make your desktop do file sharing for your laptop to back up onto | 01:37 |
| treehug88 | (or, both) | 01:37 |
| axiom | treehug88, I was looking into bacula for the backup software | 01:37 |
| treehug88 | axiom I've never used that myself | 01:38 |

| stonner | richard stalman said ubuntu has spyware, is it true? | 01:38 |

| axiom | I'm going to be moving here soon in acouple of month's and looking to starting a rackmount setup eventually for vm's and what not. I just want to get my foot in the door with learning the server side of things. | 01:39 |
| stonner | treehug88, so, it's true!? | 01:40 |
| treehug88 | stonner: don't know, google "ubuntu spyware stallman" | 01:40 |
| pl1x | i can install ubuntu on a MBP, right? would you replace osx with ubuntu? | 01:40 |
| stonner | treehug88, ok | 01:40 |
| treehug88 | pl1x: i would not, osx is far more polished -- but that's my opinion | 01:40 |
| treehug88 | but I think you _can_ | 01:40 |

| jsherm | quick question for anyone: I'm trying to add a cron on Ubuntu 14.04 to run screen and execute a program inside that screen with the @reboot value, but it doesn't do anything upon reboot, even though the shell script I'm linking it to in cron works fine when I execute it | 01:41 |
| hualet_deepin | pl1x: definately not | 01:41 |
| Guest32849 | ? | 01:42 |
| pl1x | treehug88: well my main problem why i don't switch 100% to linux (had that on my windows machine too) that i need some dev tools that aren't available for it | 01:42 |
| treehug88 | jsherm: screen needs a terminal to be connected to, I think - I don't think it'll work under cron | 01:42 |
| pl1x | e.g. unity3d | 01:42 |
| treehug88 | plus, you want to cron a reboot? Just do that -- though it sounds weird | 01:42 |
| stonner | ubuntu should provide a installation way like osx, very easy | 01:43 |
| treehug88 | stonner: it does | 01:43 |
| hualet_deepin | pl1x: i thought unity3d is available under linux | 01:43 |
| stonner | treehug88, how? | 01:43 |
| Blue1 | treehug88: I am using xubuntu fwiw | 01:43 |
| treehug88 | download the ISO of the install CD, then boot the machine you want to install to from that CD | 01:43 |
| stonner | treehug88, osx, mount, drag and drop | 01:43 |
| jsherm | treehug88 what would be the alternative then? Long story short I want the shell script to run upon reboot so it can restart a server that needs to run in a terminal | 01:44 |
| stonner | treehug88, more easy, impossible | 01:44 |
| treehug88 | stonner: that's software install, not OK install | 01:44 |
| treehug88 | s/OK/OS | 01:44 |
| pl1x | hualet_deepin: not the actual editor as far as i know | 01:44 |
| treehug88 | jsherm: don't understand what you're saying | 01:44 |
| stonner | treehug88, i still preffer osx installation | 01:44 |
| treehug88 | I think you're talking about init scripts though | 01:44 |
| treehug88 | if you want to start a server software at boot time | 01:45 |
| pl1x | hualet_deepin: i tried it with playonlinux once but it's buggy | 01:45 |
| jsherm | I see | 01:45 |
| treehug88 | stonner: 'prefer" is different than "easy" | 01:45 |

| LostNva | while making a video of compiz, I want a script to demo things it does, so I only talk | 02:00 |
| LostNva | its all keyboard commands | 02:00 |
| daftykins | you do realise you can just do this by video editing instead? | 02:01 |
| treehug88 | google "cntrl-alt compiz", or what daftykins said | 02:01 |
| daftykins | trying to do it the way you intend is just adding unnecessary complication | 02:01 |

| daftykins | that's fine, but have sane tasks to do so with | 02:01 |

| treehug88 | LostNva: I admire that | 02:04 |
| treehug88 | though, I suggest work a day or two, THEN ask around | 02:04 |
| LostNva | cool ok | 02:04 |
| treehug88 | doing exactly what you ask sounds nigh impossible | 02:04 |
| daftykins | or just do it the sane way, write a list of things, do the things in the video, then create an audio track timed to the video. | 02:05 |

| someNewbie | I have just deleted my windows partition and resized my ubuntu partition to take the extra space. I now have /dev/sda4 an extended partition containing /dev/sda5 swap and /dev/sda6 the ext4 root partition. I understand that I need to reinstall the MBR after this so I have chrooted into the install via a live CD and run 'grub-install --recheck /dev/sda'. I reboot annnnnnd "no operation system found" anyone | 02:27 |
| someNewbie | got any clues? The bios settings should be fine as everything worked before the resizing. | 02:27 |

| someNewbie | theres something called 'chroot' which you can use from the live cd to 'become' the ubuntu installed on the HDD. | 03:19 |
| Cog | okay, so boot from the disk, use chroot, and change the password? | 03:19 |

| catNode | I'm having an issue with my Thinkpad X220 running Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Something is constantly triggering the same command that would prompt a reboot or shutdown if you pressed the power button. It isn't due to a keyboard fault as I just replaced the keyboard with a new one. I remember there being something I could run i terminal that detects when that command is triggered, whether I have pressed the power button or not... would anybody know what that | 06:31 |
| catNode | terminal application is? | 06:31 |
| ikonia | catNode: you're getting a popup on screen asking if you want to shutdown/reboot | 06:32 |
| ikonia | catNode: is that what's happening / | 06:32 |
| catNode | yes, randomly. i try to quickly escape out of it, but after a while it will beat me and just shut down the computer itself. it's the same behaviour as if i were to press and hold down the power button on the laptop | 06:33 |
| catNode | i just remembered it was acpi_listen - i'm going to fire that up and see what's happening | 06:34 |
| ikonia | catNode: if you press and hold the powerbutton on a laptop it will just shutdown, no popup or anything | 06:34 |
| Abhijit | do we have channel for preseed? | 06:35 |
| catNode | ikonia - oh. maybe i'm wrong. i definitely do get random shutdown/reboot prompts though, every few minutes, usually the second or third one will turn off the computer suddenly even after I've escaped out of it. | 06:35 |
| catNode | I'm running acpi_listen now so I'm just waiting for it to trigger again | 06:36 |
| ikonia | catNode: that sounds most odd, you're sure there are no updates pending ? | 06:36 |
| === stonner is now known as kkkk | ||
| === kkkk is now known as stonner | ||
| catNode | ikonia - all up to date. | 06:36 |
| Abhijit | catNode, may be the powerbottom is mulfunctioning such that its automatically getting pressed? due to bad spring / bad button lock? | 06:36 |
| Abhijit | button | 06:37 |
| ikonia | Abhijit: then it wouldn't be random | 06:37 |
| ikonia | it would be consistant | 06:37 |
| catNode | Abhijit - that was my initial thought, but I've replaced the keyboard with a new one, which has the power button on it | 06:37 |
| Abhijit | it can be. happen with my old keyboard. ikonia | 06:37 |
| catNode | so it's not that | 06:37 |
| ikonia | Abhijit: oh, so your power button did this too ? | 06:37 |
| Abhijit | catNode, i thought the powerbutton is on computer and not on keyboard. | 06:37 |
| Abhijit | ikonia, never. | 06:37 |
| ikonia | Abhijit: right, so again, "it wouldn't happan that way" | 06:38 |
| catNode | Abhijit - on the X220, it's apart of the keyboard. which i have replaced. | 06:38 |
| Abhijit | :-) | 06:38 |
| TJ- | catNode: "I've just replaced the keyboard" - if that coincides with this issue beginning, I'd suspect the fitting, placement, or integrity of the new part... check for trapped or partially damaged ribbon cables (especially where they fold) | 06:41 |
| catNode | TJ- - it has been happening pre and post keyboard replacement | 06:41 |
| TJ- | catNode: Did you also replace the ribbon cable(s) ? | 06:41 |
| swws | hi dear | 06:41 |
| catNode | i *think* the ribbon cable is attached to the keyboard | 06:42 |
| TJ- | catNode: I've seen many, many, laptop/notebooks that had strange key issues because of breaks/shorts at the creases/folds of the ribbon cables, or where the cable isn't connected correctly at each end by the ribbon insert-and-clamp socket | 06:43 |
| TJ- | catNode: I'd be inspecting the folds with a magnifier now | 06:43 |

| eruditas | Does anyone know how to solve an issue with laptop going to sleep when watching flash on chromium? Caffeine is not an option and lightson script doesn't work. | 06:44 |
| TJ- | catNode: According to several posts on the Lenovo forums this is a common issue for the X220 (search "random shutdown / power up" ) | 06:45 |
| TJ- | catNode: Have you recently upgraded the BIOS ? | 06:45 |
| catNode | "button/power PWRF 00000080 00000001" | 06:45 |
| catNode | I'm pretty sure this is what's triggering the prompt | 06:45 |
| catNode | that pops up in acpi_listen when I get the prompt | 06:46 |
| TJ- | catNode: Correct, that's the ACPI message saying the key is pressed | 06:46 |
| catNode | TJ- i haven't updated the bios since I got this laptop | 06:48 |
| gshmu | waiting Ubuntu phone... | 06:49 |
| TJ- | catNode: The issue, from what I'm reading, sounds like a corrupted NVRAM for the BIOS, which can also be triggered by a BIOS update if the BIOS settings are reset to factory defaults. If possible, it is worth powering off completely (including removing the battery and holding the power button pressed for ~20 seconds to ensure all components are fully discharged), and then powering up into the BIOS setup and doing "Load factory defaults" or however it is described, | 06:51 |
| TJ- | reboot, and then re-apply customised settings if you have any | 06:51 |
| catNode | this won't break my Ubuntu install at all? | 06:51 |
| Abhijit | catNode, you can remove the harddisk while you setup bios? | 06:53 |
| TJ- | catNode: It won't touch the operating system. It may change the system hardware configuration depending on if you've applied custom settings. You can always go through all the BIOS setup options and record the settings before doing the Factory Reset. | 06:53 |
| TJ- | catNode: There is a known issue with static discharge and Thinkpads, one symptom of which can be corrupted NVRAM - and some settings saved in NVRAM cannot be changed via the BIOS Setup, so a Factory Reset is the only way to clear all settings back to known-good values | 06:54 |
| catNode | ok, trying to fireup the BIOS menu now. I pressed F1 on boot up, it gives me the Intel(R) Boot Agent GE | 06:55 |
| catNode | oh no. wait. got it now | 06:55 |
| catNode | "Load Setup Defaults" | 06:56 |
| TJ- | catNode: That'd be the one | 06:56 |
| catNode | alright. saving and exiting | 06:58 |
| catNode | Hmm. that's interesting. | 06:58 |
| TJ- | catNode: Unfortunately the web is littered with the same reports about the X220 in particular, with very few concrete solutions (aside from having the mainboard replaced) | 06:59 |
| catNode | now it won't boot into Ubuntu | 06:59 |
| TJ- | catNode: Check the (reset) boot order in the BIOS - if you've got, say, a USB thumb drive plugged in, the system may be trying to boot from USB instead of hard disk first | 07:00 |
| catNode | mm yeah I went to the boot menu to select the hard drive, but it just kept trying it, then failing, then asking me again | 07:01 |
| catNode | brb | 07:01 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, check the hard disk controller (maybe titled SATA mode) setting. It may have options such as "IDE" "AHCI" ... you probably need that flipping, SATA usually use "AHCI" mode, although that shouldn't stop the boot loader being found | 07:02 |
| catNode | TJ- i can see SATA Controller Mode Option | 07:04 |
| catNode | which is currently at AHCI, and can be switched to compatibility | 07:05 |
| === k is now known as Guest84509 | ||
| TJ- | catNode: OK, which would flip it to "IDE" mode ... worth a try, although I doubt that will affect the boot-loader. Am I correct in interpreting what you said, that you aren't even seeing the GRUB messages or boot menu, but the BIOS keeps looking for the boot device? | 07:06 |

| === lvv_ is now known as lvv | ||
| catNode | Turn On. Diagnostics Menu. Intializing Boot Agent. Initializing and establishing link. Media test failure, check cable. | 07:08 |
| catNode | Then it takes me to a boot menu and asks me to choose between ATA HDD0: ST320LT007-9ZV142 or PC LAN: IBA GE Slot etc. | 07:08 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK "Intel Boot Agent" is the network boot device agent | 07:08 |
| catNode | I choose the HDD, assuming that's the correct one, nothing happens, then it asks me again. | 07:08 |
| === arjun is now known as Guest22311 | ||
| TJ- | catNode: OK, right... is the X220 a UEFI system? | 07:09 |
| Guest22311 | hi | 07:09 |
| catNode | i believe so. I saw UEFI in the bios menu | 07:09 |
| TJ- | catNode: If so, I'm guessing that the 'BIOS' - actually UEFI - setup has an option to enable "CSM" or Compatibility Support module", or "Legacy BIOS" | 07:09 |
| catNode | UEFI/Legacy Boot | 07:10 |
| TJ- | catNode: I'm guessing that Ubuntu was installed in Lagacy BIOS mode which won't be found by a pure EFI boot sequence. Enable the CSM support in the UEFI firmware and it should boot. | 07:10 |
| catNode | I can choose, both (which it's currently set to), UEFI only or Legacy Only | 07:11 |
| TJ- | catNode: Try it with "Legacy Only" if only to prove/disprove this theory | 07:11 |
| catNode | i think it's booting in legacy anyway, because UEGI/Legacy Boot is set to both, and Legacy has first priority | 07:11 |
| catNode | alright. giving it a go | 07:11 |
| TJ- | catNode: usually EFI boot sequence looks for an EFI ESP first, and only if that is absent does it try a legacy MBR boot | 07:12 |
| catNode | so this Boot Agent shouldn't even be happening? | 07:13 |
| catNode | (still not working) | 07:13 |
| TJ- | catNode: "Boot Agent" is fine ... that message is just letting you know it is initialising itself | 07:13 |
| catNode | Network Boot is irrelevant I assume | 07:14 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, the next thing I'd do is to switch back to UEFI/Legacy "Both", then at boot-time I'd want to open the UEFI Shell (which most UEFI should provide) which provides a command-line environment where you can explore the system, including listing directories in the EFI System Partition on the hard-disk, if it has one | 07:15 |
| === Morgawr is now known as Guest56494 | ||
| catNode | do you know how I'd reach that? | 07:15 |
| TJ- | catNode: Correct - that option is for doing PXE boots from a BOOTP/PXE server | 07:15 |
| TJ- | catNode: Usually it is an option on the boot-menu where the boot devices are listed, but sometimes you can only enter it from the UEFI Setup's 'boot options' menus | 07:16 |
| TJ- | catNode: Check in the UEFI Setup, that "Secure Boot" isn't enabled - that could be the culprit... should have thought about that earlier | 07:18 |
| catNode | TJ- - i've put it into UEFI only... booted up, on the screen where it asks to choose what to boot from, only gives me ATA HDD0 as option, which of course doesn't work, and that's about it | 07:18 |
| catNode | i don't see any options re: secure boot | 07:19 |
| TJ- | catNode: does that X220 have a sub-model number, I'm trying to find a manual for the UEFI so I can see what it has | 07:20 |
| catNode | TJ- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHVFOfweYVs - this is hte only thing I can find that vaguely shows everything in the BIOS | 07:21 |
| catNode | there's no sub model as far as I'm aware. it's x220 | 07:21 |
| TJ- | catNode: Thanks | 07:22 |
| TJ- | catNode: This may be it: page 181 (PDF 199) of http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/x220_x220i_x220tablet_x220itablet_ug_en.pdf | 07:24 |
| catNode | yep that looks it to me | 07:25 |

| TJ- | catNode: This seems to be caused by the factory default reset, which suggests it was previously configured with some non-standard option that allowed booting when default options don't - and that's the weird part | 07:36 |
| catNode | TJ- yeah, its very odd | 07:36 |
| TJ- | catNode: yeah... it hasn't spontaneously powered down yet, then? | 07:36 |
| catNode | nope | 07:36 |
| TJ- | catNode: Because I saw many comments saying the power-down can happen at any time, even in the firmware setup | 07:37 |
| catNode | its a ubuntu problem for sure. it didnt do it when it orig had windows | 07:37 |
| catNode | never had it happen during bios menu either | 07:37 |
| catNode | there's another menu available to me here | 07:38 |
| catNode | Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension | 07:38 |
| TJ- | catNode: The power-down problem will develop if the NVRAM settings get corrupted by a bit-flip of some sensitive setting, from what I've read. Apparently it *can* be related to certain battery (types) and their current charge-holding state (they get tired and send erroneous I-am-about-to-run-out-of-power messages which the system then uses as a trigger to power down immediately) | 07:39 |
| catNode | TJ-, basically, I should throw this laptop out the window | 07:39 |
| TJ- | catNode: nah, it's teaching you things you never knew you needed to know :) | 07:39 |
| catNode | i can't get into this Management Engine BIOS Extention menu cause it requires a password that I don't know | 07:40 |
| TJ- | catNode: Do you have a bootable live ISO on USB or CD/DVD to hand? A live-boot from external media would at least let us explore the hard disk, figure out how the boot loader is configured | 07:40 |
| catNode | one moment | 07:40 |
| catNode | ok I got the install USB | 07:43 |
| catNode | Try ubuntu without installing? | 07:43 |
| TJ- | catNode: Yes, that will help immensely | 07:43 |

| catNode | alright i'm in | 07:44 |
| TJ- | catNode: If you can also connect it you your local network, we can easily send diagnostic reports to the pastebin | 07:44 |
| catNode | alright, got that too | 07:45 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, which Ubuntu release is it, Trusty? | 07:46 |
| catNode | 14.04 LTD | 07:46 |
| catNode | LTS | 07:46 |
| TJ- | catNode: Start a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T I think) | 07:46 |
| catNode | yep | 07:47 |
| TJ- | catNode: Then do "sudo lsblk | pastebinit" to begin with | 07:47 |
| TJ- | catNode: That is LSBLK (LiStBLocK devices) | 07:48 |
| catNode | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7797269 | 07:48 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK that looks like sda has an EFI ESP partition. Let's check with "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit" | 07:49 |
| catNode | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7797272 | 07:49 |
| TJ- | catNode: Also, lets find out if the live ISO booted in EFI or Legacy mode: "find /sys/class/firmware | pastebinit" | 07:50 |
| catNode | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7797278 | 07:51 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, so Ubuntu is installed in UEFI mode. So, when the firware loaded its defaults it wiped out all the saved boot menu entries, so looks like we need to replace them | 07:51 |
| TJ- | catNode: That's a shame, the ISO booted in legacy mode so we can't add the EFI boot menu entry easily | 07:52 |
| catNode | we can't load the live boot in UEFI? | 07:52 |
| TJ- | catNode: This is a pain, but can you try rebooting the USB, and at the boot menu checking carefully for an alternate boot entry for the USB device that would be the EFI option? If there isn't one, try going into UEFO setup and switching the UEFI boot options to "UEFI only" ... if you can still boot the USB after that do so and hopefully it'll start in UEFI mode. With that, we can fix the missing boot menu entry. | 07:53 |
| catNode | one moment | 07:54 |
| TJ- | catNode: Usually, UEFI boot menus will list a device twice (once for UEFI boot and once for Legacy boot) depending on if the device has an EFI System Partition on it. | 07:54 |
| catNode | there was definitely only one option to boot the USB, so I'll go into the BIOS and set boot to UEFI only | 07:55 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK. Last time I checked the ISO images are built to boot from UEFI or Legacy, so it is up to the motherboard firmware as to which it uses by default | 07:55 |
| catNode | ok I'm in the live boot again after setting the BIOS boot to UEFI only, can we check to see if it has booted into UEFI? | 07:56 |
| TJ- | catNode: "find /sys/class/firmware" - you should see some "efi" entries if it is | 07:57 |
| catNode | it has returned two entries - /sys/class/firmware and /sys/class/firmware/timeout | 07:58 |
| TJ- | catNode: Grrrr, it doesn't want to play nice does it?! | 07:58 |
| TJ- | catNode: I think the USb device is being treated as a hard disk rather than as a ATAPI (DVD) device so it is using legacy boot mode | 07:59 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, let's do the sneaky thing instead :) | 07:59 |
| TJ- | catNode: (sorry for all this hassle!) | 07:59 |
| catNode | no worries | 08:00 |
| TJ- | catNode: What I had *hoped* we could do is have the system start in EFI mode, and use Ubuntu's own tools to add its entry to the firmware boot menu | 08:00 |
| TJ- | catNode: To do that, it needs to write EFI variables, but the EFI interface is not available in legacy mode | 08:01 |
| TJ- | catNode: So, the sneaky method is for us to try directly installing the Intel Tianocore EFI shell executable into the EFI System Partition and *hopefully* get the firmware boot manager to load it from the disk | 08:02 |
| catNode | sounds tricky | 08:02 |
| Nuk3 | hey | 08:02 |
| TJ- | catNode: For it to work the firmware boot manager needs to scan the ESP (EFI System Partition) for a particular EFI boot-loader. On removable devices it is always at "/efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" ... if this trick works, we can have that file be the UEFI shell, which then gives command-line control in order to boot the system to Ubuntu correctly, from where you can simply redo the boot menu entry | 08:05 |
| TJ- | catNode: So, this will depend on the firmware scanning for "/efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" on the hard disk | 08:06 |
| catNode | alright. what should i run in terminal | 08:06 |
| kasiisomi | hi all | 08:06 |
| TJ- | catNode: first, let's mount the ESP to somewhere useful. Go into interactive root user shell with "sudo -i" | 08:06 |
| catNode | ypu | 08:06 |
| catNode | yup | 08:06 |
| kasiisomi | hello | 08:07 |
| TJ- | catNode: create a directory where we can mount the ESP: "mkdir -p /mnt/efi" | 08:07 |
| catNode | yup | 08:07 |
| TJ- | catNode: "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi" | 08:07 |
| catNode | yup | 08:07 |
| TJ- | catNode: "find /mnt/efi | pastebinit" should report several directories and files | 08:07 |
| kasiisomi | looking for recovery tool cuz testdisk fails to recover the drive | 08:08 |
| TJ- | kasiisomi: what kind of recovery tool? | 08:08 |
| kasiisomi | TJ-, from the command line TESTDISK | 08:09 |
| catNode | TJ- - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7797348 | 08:09 |
| kasiisomi | TJ-, first i root then apt-get install testdisk | 08:10 |
| TJ- | catNode: Great, that is what the original "grub-install" put in place, so the only missing piece is the firmware's boot-menu entry to point to that | 08:10 |
| kasiisomi | looking for recovery tool cuz testdisk fails to recover the drive | 08:11 |
| kasiisomi | looking for recovery tool cuz testdisk fails to recover the drive | 08:11 |
| TJ- | catNode: OK, let's create the standard path for 'simple' UEFI boot: "mkdir -p /mnt/efi/BOOT" | 08:11 |
| catNode | yup | 08:12 |
| kasiisomi | TJ-, do i have to still wait for that recovery AID from you | 08:13 |
| TJ- | catNode: and then download the Intel Tianocore shell v2 and install it "wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/X64/Shell.efi -O /mnt/efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" | 08:14 |
| TJ- | catNode: Sorry for the pauses, I'm testing commands here | 08:14 |
| catNode | TJ- done | 08:15 |
| TJ- | catNode: Now unmount that file-system "umount /mnt/efi" | 08:15 |
| TJ- | catNode: And now you can do a reboot. Remove the USB device, keep the firmware set to "UEFI only" and try the HDD0 boot device again | 08:15 |
| catNode | No command 'unmount' found | 08:16 |
| catNode | oh sorry | 08:16 |
| catNode | umount | 08:16 |
| catNode | alright, that's done | 08:16 |
| catNode | rebooting | 08:16 |

| schoenemann | Hi, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T440p with 2 graphic cards (NVidia and Intel) and I'm trying to get the Nvidia graphic card to run using the prime infrastructure (Ubuntu 12.04) | 11:22 |
| schoenemann | lspci lists both cards but "xrandr --listproviders" does not. what am I missing to get it work | 11:23 |
| Ben64 | schoenemann: check this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics | 11:23 |
| Galaxor | I am trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 using do-release-upgrade. It says "No new release found". What do I do? | 11:24 |
| schoenemann | Ben64: thanks but this page is only listing the closed source drivers | 11:25 |
| ObrienDave | you cant upgrade until 14.04.1 is released | 11:25 |
| DJones | Galaxor, THe upgrades from 12.04 to 14.04 only become available once 14.04.1 is released, which from memory still has another few days before its released | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett_ | Galaxor torrent the ISO, set it as a software source and uprade | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett_ | *upgrade* | 11:25 |
| Rory | Upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release, 14.04.1, scheduled for July. It is recommended that most LTS users wait until then before upgrading to 14.04. | 11:25 |
| Ben64 | schoenemann: yep, thats how prime is supported | 11:25 |
| Rory | If you choose to upgrade before then, you can pass the -d option to the upgrade tool, running do-release-upgrade -d or update-manager -d | 11:26 |
| mpourhadi | k1l, 11.4 my PC is a bit old | 11:26 |
| Galaxor | DJones, cfhowlett_ : Okay, thanks. | 11:27 |
| k1l | mpourhadi: oh my. 11.04 is way out of security updates. first make sure to update your system. you are a security issue | 11:27 |
| k1l | !eol | mpourhadi | 11:27 |
| ubottu | mpourhadi: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 11:27 |
| Galaxor | Rory: Akso thanks. I think I might do this one. | 11:27 |
| schoenemann | Ben64: that page (http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hybrid-Grafikkarten/Prime?redirect=no) explains the usage of the open source drivers (nouveau). but it does not list the nvidia card for me (sorry but I don't know if there is an english version of that page) | 11:27 |
| Galaxor | I'm upgrading a vm I just spawned, so it's pretty low-stakes. I'll take my chances with do-release-upgrade -d | 11:29 |
| ikonia | I strongly advise against it | 11:29 |
| ikonia | if you've just made a VM - install 14.04 | 11:29 |
| ikonia | if you've installed 12.04 - wait for 14.04.1 and use the official upgrade | 11:29 |
| Galaxor | ikonia: Okay. I shall start over. | 11:31 |
| Galaxor | ikonia: Hm, I want to use lxc rather than virtualbox. Does the iso have debootstrap on it or something? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | I don't think so | 11:33 |
| ikonia | lxc = bad | 11:33 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| Galaxor | ikonia: in what way is lxc = bad? | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett_ | this ^^^ | 11:34 |
| ikonia | they are basically just chroots | 11:34 |
| ikonia | shared kernals, | 11:35 |
| ikonia | no real physical device mappping | 11:35 |
| CatKiller | ikonia: They most certainly are not | 11:35 |
| ikonia | sorry, I disagree | 11:35 |
| CatKiller | they leverage netspaces, namespaces | 11:35 |
| ikonia | if you like them - use them | 11:35 |
| CatKiller | they have root remapping (so your LXC root maps to a dummy user) | 11:35 |
| ikonia | I know how they work, I'm being over simplistic saying "chroot" | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | so you can even share devices with them (virtual NICs etc) | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | well it's also wrong. If you tell somebody they're chroot you'd scare people away for the wrong reasons | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | LXC is the future in my humble opinion | 11:36 |
| ikonia | yes, thats was a bad phrase and over simplistic | 11:36 |
| ikonia | and I don't think it's the future | 11:37 |
| ikonia | but yes, chroot was over simplistic and an unfair description | 11:37 |
| ikonia | even the webpage describes it as "a chroot on steroids" | 11:37 |
| CatKiller | On the other hand, if someone wanted Ubuntu desktop that's definitely not what they should try | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | Works well for small contained jobs like webservers etc | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | and with Docker it's quite nice to use | 11:38 |
| ikonia | yes, farm deployments | 11:38 |
| ikonia | where full pve is not required | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | ikonia: Yep | 11:39 |
| Galaxor | Aha. I can specify what release to install when using lxc-create. lxc-create -n sandbox1 -t ubuntu -- -r trusty | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | Galaxor: Give it a shot but you'll notice it's not quite a "generic" Ubuntu install | 11:42 |
| MACscr | ok, i have two ubuntu systems with one being the dhcp server (isc-dhcp-server) and the other being the dhcp client. For some reason the clients /etc/resolv.conf is only being assigned a nameserver entry of 127.0.0.1 even though i have "option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;" in my dhcpd.conf file on my server. Any suggestions? | 11:42 |
| mpourhadi | k1l, when i use latest version of any linux my monitor goes all noisy and i cant do anything only one of the debian distro with MATE desktop worked for me thats y i cant update | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | Galaxor: More like a lightweight server | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | Galaxor: Many tools won't be there (because they're not required) | 11:43 |
| ikonia | MACscr thts how dnsmasq works | 11:43 |
| ikonia | MACscr: it's fine | 11:43 |
| MACscr | ikonia: it would be fine if my host could actually do dns lookups =P | 11:44 |
| ikonia | that's a different matter | 11:44 |
| MACscr | nor did i manually instally dnsmasq | 11:44 |
| ikonia | it's part of the distro | 11:44 |
| ikonia | it's ubuntu's default resolver setup | 11:44 |
| Galaxor | CatKiller: Yepp, then I just install the stuff I wanna mess with. It'll be great. | 11:45 |
| MACscr | ikonia: but then shouldnt /etc/dnsmasq.conf exist? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | isn't it /etc/resolv.conf.d or something like that | 11:46 |
| ikonia | I've not got an ubuntu box to verify that path though | 11:46 |
| Pici | !resolvconf | 11:46 |
| ubottu | resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution | 11:46 |
| ikonia | thank you Pici | 11:47 |
| === gownuawazlocrpta is now known as roccwmdvnfosjufy | ||
| MACscr | no, resolve confs would onyl point to the dnsmasq server | 11:47 |
| === roccwmdvnfosjufy is now known as sepero | ||
| MACscr | that wouldnt control the actual dnsmasq settings | 11:47 |

| TJ- | Trusty, x86_64, whilst creating a new guest VM libvirt is reporting "qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev pty,id=charserial0: Failed to create chardev" ... this is an apparmor issue (DENIED for execute of "/usr/lib/pt_chown") and I'm sure I've seen/dealt with this before, but I cannot find any bug reports dealing with this particular denial or a fix. Any ideas? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | TJ-: I've hit this too, isn't it when you change the default path of where the guests files are stored ? | 11:48 |

| Exx | Hi | 11:49 |
| Exx | My computer is acting up all crazy, it's all of a sudden super slow. I couldn't open any file and/or it was really slow. So I went to reinstall Ubuntu, but that turned out also to be slow, I had it running for several hours and it hardly progressed. So I checked "disk for defects" but that didn't show anything. What other tools can I use to see what's wrong? | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx open a terminal and run this command free | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx how much ram is available/used | 11:52 |
| TJ- | ikonia: Hmmm, that may be it, I configure a new storage pool... I'd have thought libvirt would add a dynamic rule for that... although... the apparmor DENIED message is specific to the chardev | 11:52 |
| fidel_ | Exx: the cmd 'top' or 'htop' might help as well showing you some general informations about what your computer is actually doing | 11:52 |
| TJ- | ikonia: I'll try that | 11:52 |
| MACscr | ikonia: they dont mention dnsmasq | 11:52 |
| MACscr | the resolvconf.d/original file actually has the correct dns entries | 11:53 |
| Exx | cfhowlett_: I run free. What should I look for? | 11:53 |
| MACscr | also, on my servers, i dont see that dnsmasq is installed | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx report the output | 11:53 |
| TJ- | ikonia: no, can't be the storage-pool location - I accidentally created the volumes in the default pool :) | 11:53 |
| MACscr | also, neither of those articles mention that dnsmasq is used by default | 11:54 |
| ikonia | TJ-: damn | 11:54 |
| ikonia | MACscr: they should explain the dns setup though | 11:54 |
| ikonia | MACscr: eerrr it says it clear title | 11:54 |
| ikonia | MACscr: did you actually read the articales | 11:54 |
| ikonia | massive heading section " Using dnsmasq as local resolver by default on desktop installations" | 11:55 |
| MACscr | and as i clearly mentioned, these are servers | 11:55 |
| ikonia | no you didn't | 11:55 |
| ikonia | you said " I have 2 ubuntu systems" | 11:55 |
| MACscr | MACscr | 11:56 |
| MACscr | also, on my servers, i dont see that dnsmasq is installed | 11:56 |
| ikonia | because it's not | 11:56 |
| MACscr | ok, so back to why its not working then =P | 11:56 |
| ikonia | read the document | 11:57 |
| ikonia | it explains the setup | 11:57 |
| ikonia | then you can see where yours is failing | 11:57 |
| MACscr | which one? Since i am using dhcp, there shouldnt be any configuration needed on the client | 11:57 |
| philinux | Exx;~ open a terminal > free -m |pastebinit | 11:57 |
| ikonia | MACscr: read them both | 11:58 |
| ikonia | they explain the dns setup | 11:58 |
| MACscr | i have. Thus why i am trying to find out where you think i am missing something | 11:58 |
| ikonia | then you can see how yours differs and then work through the problem of why | 11:58 |
| philinux | Exx;~ http://corlewsolutions.com/articles/article-6-understanding-the-free-command-in-ubuntu-and-linux | 11:58 |
| ikonia | MACscr: ok, so where is the resolver not getting set | 11:58 |
| Exx | cfhowlett_: Hey, sorry for the delay. Are you still here? | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx yes | 11:59 |
| MACscr | ikonia: my point is that my resolvconf.d/original (the only file in that directory that has nameserver settings) has the correct info assigned by the dhcpd server, but the generated /etc/resolv.conf does not match that info | 12:00 |
| Exx | How do I write | in the terminal? | 12:01 |
| ikonia | so the so either the resolvconf script is not working or the hook is not reading from there and looking for the optional data in the interfaces file | 12:01 |
| philinux | Exx;~ alt gr +button under escape or just use copy and paste from here | 12:01 |
| ObrienDave | Exx, it's a key on your keyboard | 12:01 |
| ObrienDave | shift \ | 12:02 |
| philinux | ^^ that too | 12:02 |
| ObrienDave | oh, DOH they typed it already LOL | 12:03 |
| ObrienDave | i'll go back to sleep now ;P | 12:03 |
| philinux | lol indeed | 12:03 |
| Exx | So I run free http://paste.ubuntu.com/7798186/ -- This is what it shows. | 12:05 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx so you've got about 12 gigs of ram - nice. your slowdown is not caused byram limitations | 12:06 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx someone else can advise about SWAP = 0 though | 12:07 |
| philinux | Exx;~ with 12 gig ram swap not needed unless you intend to use hibernate | 12:08 |
| Exx | cfhowlett_: It's an ASUS ROG G750JW laptop | 12:09 |
| Exx | philinux: I don't even know what that is, so you have any suggestion what I should do? | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett_ | Exx you've got enough ram = no /swap needed. shutdown firefox and test your speed | 12:10 |
| philinux | Exx;~ do you intend to use hibernate https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate | 12:10 |
| Amaze-balls | Can somebody please help me with a good solid explaination of umask | 12:11 |
| Amaze-balls | I simply dont get it | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett_ | !info umask | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Package umask does not exist in trusty | 12:11 |
| Exx | philinux: Nope, not really. | 12:11 |
| Amaze-balls | Ive been reading that (im learning for an LPI exam) but I dont get it | 12:12 |
| philinux | Exx;~ then your fine without swap | 12:12 |
| Amaze-balls | it sets permissions on file creation | 12:12 |
| Amaze-balls | but doesnt that always happen | 12:12 |
| Exx | philinux: Right. But that's not the issue tho I guess, thanks for the help. | 12:12 |
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: Yes, because your umask has already been set in your /etc/profile probably. | 12:12 |
| Exx | philinux: The thing is that the computer is running ultra super slow. Again I tried to reinstall Ubuntu, but that also turned out to take forever. So I run from the live cd now. | 12:12 |
| Exx | philinux: I was asked to check free. Now I don't know what to do.. | 12:13 |
| Amaze-balls | so if I touch a file name a certain set of permissions will be used | 12:13 |
| philinux | Exx;~ process of elimination, memory fine so thats that sorted | 12:13 |
| fidel_ | Exx: if its not the memory - checked if your cpu is busy? | 12:13 |
| pixelboy_ | hey guys i have a stupid question of anyway has any time for me :D | 12:13 |
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: If that file has not yet been created, then yes, touch will create it using the umask to determine the correct permissions. | 12:13 |
| fidel_ | Exx: iotop might be helful as well | 12:14 |
| mjayk | pixelboy_: just state the question :) | 12:14 |
| pixelboy_ | i have this annoying notification from ubuntu that i have to update something | 12:14 |
| Amaze-balls | Ok thanks I think I get it now. Its weird though when a user creates a file you can automatically change the permissions to the superadmin | 12:14 |
| pixelboy_ | but then i open it | 12:14 |
| pixelboy_ | nothing | 12:14 |
| Amaze-balls | rendering the file useless for writing for the user right ? | 12:14 |
| ObrienDave | pixelboy_, and what does it want to update? | 12:15 |
| pixelboy_ | no idea, if i just open terminal and sudo apt-get update/sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:15 |
| pixelboy_ | it sais all good | 12:16 |
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: How so? | 12:16 |
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: Whoever creates the file is the file's owner. | 12:16 |
| pixelboy_ | but that small atention mark in the upper corner is still there | 12:16 |
| === ruo91^ is now known as ruo91 | ||
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| ObrienDave | pixelboy_, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:16 |
| Amaze-balls | just trying to imagine it functionality... with a wrongly setup umask, if the user creates a file and the permissions in umask are set only to write for the admin then the user can create a file but not write in it is that correct ? | 12:16 |
| pixelboy_ | 0 / 0 / 0 to install or anything | 12:17 |
| nichlas | Amaze-balls: users can always chmod files they own | 12:17 |
| === chan_89_ is now known as chan89_ | ||
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: I think you need to understand ownership better. There are three permissions, owner, group, and other. You can't create a file that is then owned by someone else. However, you can, with umask, make it so that when someoen creates a file they don't even have permissions to it. | 12:18 |
| Exx | fidel_: I can't find a package called iotop, I tried to install it | 12:18 |
| rypervenche | Amaze-balls: I can't think of any use case for that though. | 12:18 |
| Exx | I'll see what's wrong.. | 12:18 |
| ObrienDave | pixelboy_, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:18 |

| Exx | TJ-: There are other logs in there, just not that one. | 12:42 |
| TJ- | Exx: are you using the live ISO right now, or the installed instance? | 12:42 |
| Exx | TJ-: I'm running from the CD. | 12:43 |
| philinux | arussel;~ someone else might know then | 12:43 |
| TJ- | Exx: well that'd explain it! The "/var/log/kern.log" of the *installed slow-as-treacle" instance is the one you need | 12:43 |
| Exx | TJ-: Alright! So I can't access that from the CD? | 12:44 |
| TJ- | Exx: You'd need to create a mount-point and the mount the *installed* file-system to that mountpoint, then you can read the files from it | 12:44 |
| TJ- | Exx: E.g. if the *installed* system is in /dev/sda3 you might do from the Live environment: "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/target && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/target" and then you can browse the *installed* root file-system starting from "/mnt/target/" | 12:45 |

| knob | Good morning everyone. Odd question: I have 14.04 installed. I have two monitors. Whenever the mouse crosses from one monitor to another, it gets "stuck" ... Not as in the processors/computer thinking about it. Stuck as in, if the mouse cursor was looking to interact with the edges of the screen. | 12:46 |
| TJ- | knob: does the pointer escape if you move the mouse violently? | 12:47 |
| backSlasher | Do SSD get tr | 12:47 |

| backSlasher | Anyone knows if SSDs get TRIM automatically on 14.04? | 12:47 |
| nichlas | arussel: "apt-cache showpkg <package-name>" to see which versions exist | 12:48 |
| backSlasher | According to mount manpage they don't | 12:48 |
| popey | knob: sorry, system-settings -> display | 12:48 |
| popey | knob: it's called "sticky edges" | 12:48 |
| bcvery | !trim | backSlasher | 12:48 |
| ubottu | backSlasher: Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 12:48 |
| nichlas | arussel: and "sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>" to install specific version | 12:48 |
| backSlasher | bcvery, how do I verify it? because the manpage says it doesn't. And doesn't it degrade performance? | 12:49 |
| Exx | TJ-: Thanks for the help. Now it says unknown filesystem type "crypto_LUKS". Perhaps because the disk is encrypted. | 12:49 |
| philinux | backSlasher;~ http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/trim-ssd-support-enabled-ubuntu-14-04 | 12:49 |
| backSlasher | philinux, I read it, but I still can't find any actual evidence | 12:50 |
| Exx | TJ-: Do you know how I mount an encrypted disk? I'll see if I find something online.. | 12:50 |
| TJ- | Exx: Yes, use cryptsetup, as in "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 crypt_root" which, once the slot is opened, will give you a device-mapper node "/dev/mapper/crypt_root", then you can do "sudo mount /dev/mapper/crypt-root /mnt/target" | 12:51 |
| === cry0g3n_ is now known as cry0g3n | ||
| vlt | Exx: I can tell you the non-GUI way: "cryptsetup luksOpen <your_crypted_device> <a_target_name>" | 12:52 |

| neo1691 | I just installed a new ubuntu 14.04 lts this time and now, I want to know if I have a proxy, I have to set it in /etc/environment and /etc/apt/apt.conf right? Or is there anywhere do I need to set it? | 14:51 |
| compengi | LordXe-gnu: mount: permission denied | 14:51 |
| keviv | friendlyfascism: which of the three places is the right one? | 14:51 |
| compengi | LordXe-gnu: The server is booted in some kind of a virtual box by the provider | 14:51 |
| keviv | compengi: whoami maybe? Check you're really root | 14:52 |
| compengi | keviv: it says root | 14:52 |
| keviv | Hmm | 14:52 |
| compengi | keviv: This is a backup boot provided by the provider. My files lie in /repair/ | 14:53 |
| compengi | keviv: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Jul 15 15:40 etc/passwd | 14:55 |
| keviv | compengi: mount | grep "/ " | 14:55 |
| compengi | keviv: /dev/vzfs on / type reiserfs (rw,usrquota,grpquota) | 14:55 |
| keviv | Oh it's already r/w | 14:56 |
| keviv | And you obviously have write permissions for it | 14:56 |
| keviv | Sorry I'm not going to be any help to you | 14:56 |
| compengi | keviv: yeah, but when I edit it, I can't save it | 14:56 |
| keviv | What are you using to edit? | 14:57 |
| === Ilyes512 is now known as Ilyes512|Away | ||
| compengi | keviv: vim | 14:57 |
| keviv | K | 14:57 |
| keviv | Maybe try sudo vim? | 14:58 |
| keviv | Or if it's the graphic version, then gksu vim | 14:58 |
| joshua7 | hello | 14:59 |
| misheque | compengi: sorry, I joined late, what is the problem, a permission on a file or on an entire mount point? | 14:59 |
| joshua7 | can some one help me get a theme for ubuntu 14.04 lts | 15:00 |
| compengi | keviv: when I use edit: Warning: unknown mime-type for "etc/passwd" -- using "application/octet-stream" | 15:01 |
| jhutchins | !theme | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 15:01 |
| keviv | misheque: compengi's trying to edit /etc/passed. The fs is r/w, and root has rwx, and he is root | 15:01 |
| subcool | whats the command to see the value of a folders size | 15:02 |
| subcool | ds? dh? | 15:02 |
| subcool | cli ofcourse | 15:02 |
| jhutchins | compengi: What does vim say when you try to save? | 15:03 |
| compengi | keviv: can't I just change file permissions | 15:03 |
| ikonia | du | 15:03 |
| subcool | ahhh DISK USAGE | 15:03 |
| subcool | THANKS | 15:03 |
| compengi | jhutchins: "etc/passwd" E212: Can't open file for writing | 15:03 |
| keviv | compengi: if vim is being launched in root, then they should be right. But maybe try changing to mode 777 | 15:03 |
| jhutchins | compengi: That soulds like a filesystem error. | 15:03 |
| keviv | BIT MAKE SURE TO CHANGE IT BACK IF IT WORKS | 15:04 |
| misheque | keviv, compegi: maybe something like this: 1. backup (sudo cp /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak) 2. delete (sudo rm /etc/passwd) 3. restore (sudo mv /etc/passwd.bak /etc/passwd) 4. double-check file permissions | 15:04 |
| compengi | keviv: Ok, I will try, but what's the default | 15:04 |
| jhutchins | compengi: If you are root and can not edit /etc/passwd then there is a filesystem problem. | 15:04 |
| jhutchins | Note: most installations have vipw which will sanity check your changes. | 15:05 |
| keviv | Compengi: You have 744 right mow | 15:05 |
| misheque | keviv, compegi: be careful though, after deleting /etc/passwd and before restoring you cannot do sudo anymore | 15:05 |
| misheque | so preferably sudo su | 15:05 |
| misheque | then backup delete and restore | 15:05 |
| keviv | Misheque: just delete? Not format? | 15:05 |
| misheque | well, at least you will know if you have enough permissions to delete | 15:06 |
| keviv | Gotchu | 15:06 |
| misheque | perhaps even that u won't be ab;e to do | 15:06 |
| jhutchins | That's a very bad idea. | 15:06 |
| subcool | um... ikonia wait= thats listing all the files.. | 15:06 |
| philinux | keviv;~ me would start again with disk creator and set persistence | 15:06 |
| subcool | im looking for the value of the folders,. | 15:06 |
| jhutchins | subcool: -s | 15:06 |
| misheque | anyways, if everything else fails, just boot from live cd/usb (any version of ubuntu) and edit your /etc/passwd from there | 15:06 |
| jhutchins | subcool: See the man page for other options. | 15:06 |
| keviv | Philinux: okay that's probably a better idea. I honestly can't remember why I wanted to add it after the fact | 15:07 |
| subcool | k- thanks. | 15:07 |
| philinux | keviv;~ quicker too | 15:07 |
| keviv | Philinux: any way to make the persistent partition windows- and mac-usable? | 15:08 |
| philinux | keviv;~ iirc the disk creator created a fat32 file system | 15:09 |
| philinux | so it would boot on a windows machine | 15:09 |
| compengi | keir: nope no luck even with chmod 777 it says read-only. I'm currently reverty the server to the last backup state | 15:10 |
| keviv | Philinux: Oh so disk creator makes a persistence file, not a partition? | 15:10 |
| philinux | keviv;~ I think so. any spare disk space can be used to transport files around | 15:11 |
| misheque | keviv: wondering, why would you need to access persistence file from windows/mac? | 15:12 |
| keviv | Misheque: I was hoping to unzip a file into the persistent file | 15:13 |
| misheque | keviv: but do you need to do it in order to alter ubuntu's configuration, or is it just about adding some data? | 15:14 |
| Ascavasaion | I just tried to move a file from my laptop's hard disk to an external hard disk. I was using Nautilus. There was an error, and now the original file is gone, and on the external HDD the destination directory is inaccessible with Nautilus, but if I use Terminal I can access the directory, and do a directory listing with ls -l. However the file I copied is there but there is a ? for permissions, user, owner, filesize, and the da | 15:14 |
| Ascavasaion | te. Please can someone help me to retrieve the file. | 15:14 |
| misheque | keviv: i ask, because if u just want to be able to push data to/from ubuntu you do not need to access persistance file at all | 15:14 |
| kelvinella | Hi, I want to buy a laptop that can run ubuntu, I prefer ASUS. How do I know if the laptop can run ubuntu without problems like wifi driver, video card driver, etc? Is there a list on the internet which I can check the compatibility of linux for laptop? | 15:15 |
| keviv | Misheque: how then? | 15:15 |
| misheque | Ascavasaion: boot your laptop from live cd/usb, then chkdisk your partition | 15:15 |
| Walex | kelvinella: Ubuntu have a long hardware compatibility list, but it does not cover everythinfg | 15:16 |
| LucidGuy | Anyone familiar with ipmitool? | 15:16 |
| misheque | keviv: i'm guessing you have your persistence file or bootable usb? just create extra fat32 partition on that usb device | 15:16 |
| Walex | kelvinella: if you have access to such a laptop, you can use an Ubuntu Live 14.04 CD/DVD | 15:16 |
| friendlyfascism | LucidGuy, Fir help state the actual issue | 15:16 |
| kelvinella | I cant try the liveCD in store | 15:16 |
| misheque | when u boot from the usb, you wlill be able to access it, but then when you just plug usb in windows/mac - you will also be able to access it | 15:17 |
| kelvinella | Walex, can I have the list? | 15:17 |
| Walex | kelvinella: alternatively just buy a known-working laptop by reading reviews. | 15:17 |
| Walex | kelvinella: it is on their site... | 15:17 |
| LucidGuy | friendlyfascism, why bother with lengthy question if nobody is familiar with the subject? | 15:17 |
| lawrencerosenf-1 | im creating partitions for ubuntu but was wondering if i wanted to host a server wheter it would be better to partition 20 gb for root and then 80 gb for the user accounts that will host the actual server content. or wheter to just have a bit 100 gb root partition. cheers! | 15:17 |
| kelvinella | Walex, what site? | 15:17 |
| Walex | kelvinella: you could also consider the Dell XPS 13 Ubuntu/developer edition | 15:17 |
| friendlyfascism | !ask | LucidGuy because that is how it works | 15:17 |
| ubottu | LucidGuy because that is how it works: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:17 |
| Walex | kelvinella: the Ubuntu site... | 15:17 |
| kelvinella | Walex, dell sucks | 15:17 |
| Walex | kelvinella: the Dell Ubuntu laptop is pretty good | 15:18 |
| kelvinella | Walex, not as solid as ASUS | 15:18 |
| Walex | kelvinella: and absolutely everything works, they did quite a bit of work. | 15:18 |
| Walex | kelvinella: depends which ASUS too | 15:18 |
| kelvinella | Walex, I want ASUS X750JB | 15:19 |
| Walex | kelvinella: but the only way to be sure is to read a review from a GNU/Linux related magazine who have tried it; also almost all tests are with Ubuntu 12.04 so far, so 14.04 should be better | 15:19 |
| Walex | kelvinella: there are also, depending on country, some small companies that sell preconfigured/preinstaled Ubuntu laptops | 15:20 |
| Walex | kelvinella: that's an enormous laptop. Oh well. | 15:20 |
| keviv | Misheque: oh duh. That would work perfectly. And then I might as well make the boot partition ext4 then | 15:21 |
| keviv | On won't need that on win | 15:21 |
| keviv | *I | 15:21 |
| keviv | Misheque: so why is making a lice USB so different than legit installing? Like why is the footprint so much smaller? | 15:23 |
| keviv | Misheque: and it seems to boot faster | 15:24 |
| misheque | keviv:persistence file is usefull for "remembering" system's settings - it is not needed for just exchanging data | 15:24 |
| arussel | how do you set the time after changing the timezone in /etc/timezone ? | 15:24 |
| keviv | Or is that just 14.04 working it's magic? | 15:24 |
| mjuszczak | Quick question. I want to use nginx but compile in the upload module. Instead of building a package from scratch, which is what i was trying to do up until this morning, it seems to make more sense to modify the existing nginx package to just support my configure flags and rebundle -- is that a good direction? So essentially use bzr to fetch the package? | 15:24 |
| misheque | keviv: if you don't use persistence, you can store debs on an extra partition, but only with persistence you can install your debs and have your installation "remebered" | 15:25 |
| misheque | without it you'd have to install your debs over and over again after every reboot | 15:25 |
| keviv | Misheque: I used to run I think 12.04 off of a external hard drive (USB). It took up around 4 GB, but the boot partition for this live USB is a little less than a gig. Why the difference in size? | 15:27 |
| misheque | keviv: and for same reasons sometimes you do not want persistence at all, ie if you boot your usb live ubuntu on different machines, then you don't want to install some proprietary driver only to find, that your wifi won't work when you boot your usb from another computer with different hardware | 15:27 |
| keviv | Makes sense | 15:27 |
| misheque | keviv: not sure if I understood your question, can you rephrase? | 15:28 |
| misheque | keviv: you used 4G usb drive, and installed live ubuntu on it, then what is about the 1G space? | 15:28 |
| keviv | Actually installing Ubuntu takes up 4GB, but using a live USB uses 1GB | 15:28 |
| keviv | 2 different devices | 15:29 |
| misheque | sure, because when u actually install ubuntu, it installs lot of additional packages that the live image does not have | 15:29 |
| TJ- | keviv: For one thing, the Live image is stored in a highly compressed squash file-system | 15:29 |
| keviv | misheque: anything important that I'm missing? | 15:30 |
| misheque | also the other way around, if u run live usb you will for example have gparted, but if you fully install fresh ubuntu, gparted won't be installed, you'll have to apt-get it yourself | 15:30 |
| keviv | What why is it like that? | 15:30 |
| keviv | TJ- any downsides to that? Like io times, etc. | 15:30 |
| misheque | keviv: because live image and actual install have different objectives, are optimized for different goals | 15:31 |
| keviv | Oh like standard use vs recovery | 15:31 |
| misheque | live image to be "light", low footprint\ | 15:31 |
| TJ- | keviv: I/O times are more affected by the medium, such as DVD or USB2 vs an HDD or SSD | 15:32 |
| misheque | keviv: think of it as if live image was a preview, that you can extend according to your liking, but that our off the box comes slim | 15:32 |
| misheque | whereas the actual install assumes that this is what you will be using as a full blown user, plus you will probably not be constrained by a small size of a removable media, etc. and it by defaults will install some additional things | 15:33 |
| misheque | YJ: I/O times do play a role here, but let's not remember that initrd will actually go straight to RAM in case of live usb/cd | 15:34 |
| misheque | *not forget | 15:34 |
| keviv | Misheque: I get that the live version would be more stripped down, bit I was wondering why it might have tools that the standard install DOESN'T | 15:35 |
| TJ- | keviv: I think you were talking about a persistent multi-boot USB key earlier. I have that, I install a minimal ubuntu non-GUI to a USB as an external hard drive, that can boot on 32 bit and 64-bit architectures, with every possible driver and recovery tool installed. Requires about 1.5GB total | 15:35 |
| kendrick_ | How do I get gnome3 ad my desktop environment? | 15:35 |
| accent | hi | 15:35 |
| keviv | Misheque: I was thinking that people use it more for recovery | 15:35 |
| accent | how are you there | 15:36 |
| clown_ | - - | 15:36 |
| keviv | TJ- I figured I can use the 32 on any arch. Any issues with that? | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: what do you have now? | 15:36 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | I wonder if 3.13 kernel will be upgraded to 3.14 | 15:37 |
| misheque | keviv: that is one of the ways u can use it. But also, u can take ubuntu with u, and use it on any PC that the bios allows you to boot from it, without wondering what OS is onstalled on it | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: what is your present desktop environment? | 15:37 |
| TJ- | keviv No, I have a 32-bit userland with 32 and 64-bit kernels | 15:37 |
| misheque | keviv: I have suber tiny pendrive attached to my keys, so I almost always hv it with me, but I do not always carry my laptop along. If i get access to any computer anyway, I can boot ubuntu on it from my pendrive | 15:38 |
| misheque | if i hv persistence file, I don't hv to install my software and set my settings the way I like every time | 15:38 |
| TJ- | keviv: From that 32-bit userland I have a 64-bit chroot environment, too. | 15:38 |
| ajax0x217 | And I land on the planet of IRC | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:39 |
| kendrick_ | ActionParsnip, it is unity the default. | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: no, that is a shell | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: its a plugin for Compiz | 15:39 |
| keviv | So I thought I had "lost" my HDD for about 4 months. Guess where it was? | 15:39 |
| keviv | My desk. Where it's supposed to be. | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: if you are using Unity then you are using Gnome3 as the desktop environment | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: Unity does not replace gnome | 15:40 |
| kendrick_ | ActionParsnip, how do I switch it to gnome3? | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: you have it | 15:40 |
| ajax0x217 | Lol!! <keviv> | 15:40 |
| keviv | TJ- so you have 2 64-bot environments on it? | 15:40 |
| keviv | *bit | 15:40 |
| kendrick_ | ActionParsnip, why did i just sudo apt-get install gnome then lol? | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: if you install gnome-shell from the official repos, log off and log in then you will be using the default Gnome shell for Gnome | 15:40 |
| xubuntu | hi | 15:40 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest28323 | ||
| kendrick_ | oic | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: you already have gnome installed, like I told you. Unity is not a DE so does not replace Gnome. You can run Compiz in LXDE if you wish | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: and you will then be able to run Unity shell | 15:41 |
| Mcmn | Hi. If ubuntu updates are downloaded over plain text HTTP without HTTPS, how can I know a MITM won't send me some evil updates to take over my computer? | 15:42 |
| xubuntu__ | hi | 15:43 |
| xubuntu_ | hi im trying xubuntu in live but evrything is laggy | 15:43 |
| xubuntu_ | why | 15:43 |
| xubuntu_ | everything works but mous and all things lags a lot | 15:43 |
| ikonia | xubuntu_: is it visutally laggy, or slow to actually do things | 15:44 |
| xubuntu_ | ikonia, it lags when i scroll pages when i move mouse and for the menu etc etc | 15:44 |
| keviv | Yeah I was having the same problem actually | 15:45 |
| keviv | Just visual | 15:45 |
| ikonia | xubuntu_: right, think about what I@ve said | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kendrick_: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell log off and log into gnome shell session and you will have the official shell for Gnome | 15:45 |
| ikonia | xubuntu_: is it just visually slow, or is it slow at actually doing things/tasks too | 15:45 |
| xubuntu_ | ikonia, i think visually | 15:45 |
| xubuntu_ | ikonia, i can tell you my hw if you remember the command | 15:45 |
| ikonia | xubuntu_: so the first point to check would be your video card, it's support under linux, and it's current configuration | 15:45 |
| kendrick_ | ActionParsnip, thanks | 15:45 |
| Mcmn | xubuntu_: I think, your computer needs some graphics driver software that is not installed on live cd. | 15:46 |
| xubuntu_ | Mcmn, how can i get that.. i-m a newbie | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display | 15:46 |
| ajax0x217 | I agree with Xubuntu | 15:46 |
| Glycan | Hi. My computer has tiny (750MB) RAM. I normally manage quite well just in a TTY, but now I have to do quite a bit of work doing stuff online that doesn't render in links (the browser). Is there any way I can make chrome run faster, maybe by dedicating more resources to it | 15:47 |
| Glycan | ? | 15:47 |
| keviv | Mcmm live 10.04 and 12.04 work fine, but 14.04 is really laggy, but only work the mouse | 15:47 |
| Mcmn | Hi. If ubuntu updates are downloaded over plain text HTTP without HTTPS, how can I know a MITM won't send me some evil updates to take over my computer? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | Glycan realistically - no | 15:47 |
| xubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7799031/ | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: oh god those are always painful | 15:48 |
| keviv | Mcmn ^^ | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: you may need to formulate an xorg.conf file to make it load the relevant driver. | 15:48 |
| keviv | Sorry I spelled your nick wrong | 15:48 |
| xubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, im not able to do that | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: sure you can, you just need to learn and research | 15:49 |
| Glycan | ikonia: could you explain why, please? | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Glycan because your OS will give whatever it can to the applications running | 15:49 |
| Glycan | ikonia: I remember reading something I didn't really understand enough about nicity and so forth... | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Glycan: so if it's not giving it more when it asks for it | 15:49 |
| ikonia | there is nothing more to give | 15:50 |
| ikonia | Glycan: what desktop environment are you running ? | 15:50 |
| xubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, ok what do i gotta do | 15:50 |
| Glycan | ikonia: lubuntu | 15:50 |
| Glycan | er | 15:50 |
| Glycan | xfce I think | 15:50 |
| ikonia | Glycan may want to try lubuntu | 15:50 |
| Glycan | I am using lubuntu | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: search online for sample xorg.conf files for an S3 UniChrome Pro | 15:50 |
| ikonia | Glycan: you're not really going to get much better | 15:51 |
| ajax0x217 | I agree with Xubuntu? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Glycan: you can tune/tweak/nice but it's not going to make any realistic improvement if your machine is running out of resources | 15:51 |
| Glycan | surely there are a bunch of background processes that I could give less resources? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Glycan: kill anything you're not using | 15:51 |
| keviv | Glycan: why not just buy a RAM stick? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Glycan: any applications/jobs/processes that you don't need, stop/kill them | 15:51 |
| xubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, thank you. anyway that-s not slow. but seeing it its slow. you got what i mean_ | 15:51 |
| ajax0x217 | quit | 15:52 |
| Glycan | actually, how would I go about finding out why exactly it lags? | 15:52 |
| keviv | They're not expensive | 15:52 |
| Glycan | keviv: RAM stick? | 15:52 |
| keviv | Laptop or desktop? | 15:52 |
| keviv | Glycan ^^ | 15:52 |
| Glycan | laptop | 15:52 |
| Glycan | Dell D400. | 15:52 |
| ikonia | Glycan: the other option is that your video card is not setup right, and it's visually slow to render/draw but there are no other resource issues | 15:52 |
| keviv | http://www.newegg.com/Laptop-Memory/SubCategory/ID-381 | 15:53 |
| xubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, so the probelm is only gpu? | 15:53 |
| keviv | Glycan ^^ | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: there is no driver loaded for it, there is an opensource driver available but udev doesnt seem to have picked it up | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: either that or your display isnt reporting EDID correctly | 15:53 |
| Glycan | keviv: I'll check it out, thanks. | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | xubuntu_: you wont get 3D accelleration or 3D gaming with that GPU under Linux | 15:54 |
| Mcmn | Hi. If ubuntu updates are downloaded over plain text HTTP without HTTPS, how can I know a MITM won't send me some evil updates to take over my computer? So is it only if I download new releases and compare hashsum. Other times it's not safe for me if I use update manager because they download on plain http?? | 15:54 |
| Glycan | ikonia: that sounds very possible, how would I go about finding that out? | 15:54 |
| Glycan | ikonia: and generally tuning/tweaking general | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Glycan: tuning/tweaking won't get you anywhere if you are out of resources | 15:55 |
| Glycan | ikonia: at all? | 15:55 |
| kasiisomi | looking for recovery tool cuz testdisk fails to recover the drive | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Glycan: look at what video card you've got, what xorg module it should use, check it's using it and configured correctrly | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Glycan: if you're out of resources, your out of resources.... | 15:55 |
| keviv | And Glycan, depending on where you live, you might have a store that would be cheaper, BUT not all ram is created equally. You'll have to read some reviews/tech blogs to figure out what the best balance between price and performance is for you | 15:56 |
| Mcmn | ActionParsnip: Can u please help me with my question? | 15:56 |
| Glycan | keviv, ikonia: thank you | 15:57 |
| Glycan | ikonia: how does swap factor in? | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Mcmn: because there is a hash of each package which is checked when it is downloaded | 15:57 |
| ikonia | it makes your machine slow as it's swapping out | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Glycan: again - if you're out of resources, you're out of resources | 15:57 |
| Glycan | I don't follow. | 15:57 |
| Mcmn | ActionParsnip: but even that hashfile can be changed according to the changed update files if MITM decides, can't he? | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Glycan: you have resources, you have applications/OS asking for resources, if they want more than you have - your machine slows down while it swaps | 15:58 |
| Glycan | I have space on my drive (I mostly keep my stuff online) - wouldn't increasing swap help? | 15:58 |
| Glycan | oh | 15:58 |
| keviv | Mcmn, isn't there a way to do http only | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: you will need more RAM if you want less swapping | 15:58 |
| Glycan | What would increasing swap do? | 15:58 |
| ikonia | make things worse | 15:58 |
| Glycan | ...really? how? | 15:59 |
| Glycan | I mean memory allocated to the swap partition | 15:59 |
| ikonia | Glycan: please try to understand "if you don't have enough resources" - you do not have enough resources, you can't "trick" or "cheat it" | 15:59 |
| ikonia | memory allocated to the swap partition ??? | 15:59 |
| robairt | Is this like a vm or something? | 15:59 |
| Glycan | When partitioning, you allocate a certain amount of your drive to be the partition used as swap, no? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | Glycan: thats right | 16:00 |
| === Solution-X is now known as Solution-X|AFK | ||
| Glycan | Right, so if you have more of that, why would things be worse? | 16:00 |
| Glycan | wouldn't you have to swap less if you have more memory to swap into? | 16:00 |
| Glycan | less times* | 16:00 |
| ikonia | Glycan: because more software that "should" be running in nice fast ram, is swapped out to bad slow disk | 16:00 |
| ikonia | Glycan: and everytime it wants to use that resource, it has to swap it in/out of ram/disk which is work | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: how much RAM do you have? | 16:00 |
| Mcmn | keviv http = no security. So I wonder if a MITM can changed files,he can also change hashsums accordingly? | 16:01 |
| Glycan | ActionParsnip: 750MB | 16:01 |
| Mcmn | keviv to match the sums with changed files? | 16:01 |
| keviv | Mcmn, sorry I meant https | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Mcmn: I think you are being too paranoid. Debian has worked this way fr years. | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: 1Gb RAM costs peanuts | 16:01 |
| Spec | Mcmn: if you're talking about packages over http -- they are signed cryptographically | 16:01 |
| Spec | Mcmn: can't correctly calculate a *signed* hash | 16:02 |
| Glycan | ikonia: hang on, but surely having less available swap doesn't make things better... | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Glycan: it can do | 16:02 |
| Spec | sorry, keviv, ^ | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Glycan: or it just doesn't get used/wasted | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: how much swap space do you have currently? | 16:02 |
| keviv | Mcmn, no it's my bad | 16:02 |
| Glycan | ActionParsnip: uhh, just a moment | 16:02 |
| Mcmn | Spec that means even if hashsums are changed by mitm on route, then cryptographically checking the hashsum file will fail and warn the user? | 16:03 |
| Spec | yes | 16:03 |
| Spec | or it'll be re(signed) by the attacker, and it'll tell you you don't trust the signature | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Mcmn: you need to chillout dude, they aren't coming to get you | 16:03 |
| Spec | ActionParsnip: that attitude is a dangerous one, many package distribution things have been the target of sophisticated attacks. | 16:03 |
| Spec | the better attitude is knowing there are cryptographic processes in place that prevent these attacks | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Spec: so the average user (aimed at the average PC user) needs to know this stuff? | 16:04 |
| Spec | ActionParsnip: if they care about it, they can be assured. | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: free -m | tail -n 1 | awk {'print $4'} | 16:04 |
| Mcmn | Spec Does update manager know which signatures to trust by default? So if i compare hashsums when downloading iso of new release, that is enough to get trustable signatures known by update manager? | 16:05 |
| Spec | Mcmn: signatures are in the debian key ring | 16:05 |
| Spec | Mcmn: apt-key list to see them all | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Spec: I let the system do its job, nice and easy | 16:05 |
| Mcmn | Spec: ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help. Have a nice day! | 16:05 |
| Spec | Mcmn: oh, well, downloading iso from new release, that's slightly different | 16:05 |
| Spec | Mcmn: downloading an iso you should get the md5sum or sha1sum from HTTPS | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Mcmn: plus using torrents helps too | 16:06 |
| Spec | Mcmn: but the iso need not be from https, just the checksum | 16:06 |
| Spec | it's also a good idea anyways, to verify the integrity of the download. | 16:06 |
| Glycan | ActionParsnip: that's free, don't you want total swap? and it's the same as my RAM - 750 | 16:07 |
| Mcmn | Spec: Thanks, i understand now. I will read up on this, | 16:07 |
| === skilz is now known as jsz | ||

| ActionParsnip | Glycan: run: free -m you will see the full output | 16:08 |
| === jsz is now known as skilz | ||
| keviv | Spec: how do you know that the original image wasn't altered? Like when you're just burning a live cd | 16:10 |
| Glycan | ActionParsnip: I mean, that's free swap, and not total swap, what your command would of shown. | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: my command just carves out the amount of assigned swap space in the system | 16:10 |
| Spec | keviv: take md5sum and comapre with md5sum from distributer, that you received over SSL | 16:10 |
| keviv | Spec: true true | 16:10 |
| Spec | keviv: and/or, grab the *signed md5sum* file and verify the signature first, and then verify the md5sum of the iso | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Glycan: ah then {'print $2'} instead of {'print $4'} | 16:10 |

| keviv | Speaking of XP, are there any good XP Luna themes for unity? Like to draw less attention to tour screen | 16:16 |
| Glycan | keviv: I personally know at least one person who blindly pastes scripts hoping that they'll work (although with the intent of fixing his computer, however) and I've heard of myriad others - moreover, I don't feel like there's anything particualrly bad in that if they're honest about it (if it's not a priority for them). | 16:16 |

| the_gryffyn | Lope, That's really short..... even for a 40gb. | 16:37 |
| bigbrovar | everytime I try and insert a blank cd I get a location is ready mounted error | 16:37 |
| keviv | The_gryffyn maybe cause it's a SSD? | 16:38 |
| Pici | keviv: I'm not sure what the \l is. the \n is a newline. | 16:38 |
| bigbrovar | I only get an option to create an image | 16:38 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, maybe, but a secure erase on an SSD just resets the blocks to zero, so it should be the same. | 16:38 |
| Lope | the_gryffyn: that's what I thought. But the security password gets cleared after I do the security erase command so I guess it works. And I can't do the security erase command without setting the password. so that all seems legit. | 16:38 |
| bigbrovar | however when I create the image.. it is saved with a .bin extension... and even though I used braseror to create this file.. braseror is unable to write this file to a cd | 16:39 |

| keviv | Like 12.10 to 14.04 | 16:48 |
| mint__ | bigbrovar: does that message impede you to burn the disk? | 16:48 |
| Pici | keviv: firstly, you can't upgrade directly from 12.10 to 14.04, secondly that sort of upgrade requires the OS be running, you can't just replace the kernel image and have it work. | 16:49 |
| === aaaas_ is now known as aaas | ||
| bigbrovar | mint__, well it says cant write to disk then gives the reasons as location already mounted | 16:49 |
| keviv | Pici: so what are valid upgrade paths? And why must the OS be running | 16:49 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, you need to upgrade to 13.04 by reinstalling from DVD or USB, then upgrading to 14.04 the same way. | 16:50 |
| the_gryffyn | Backup first, though. | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | keviv backup, the clean install is the fastest, easiest and most efficient | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | way | 16:50 |
| Pici | keviv: I guess you could chroot into the drive and run the install. You can only upgrade from one release to the next, or from one LTS to the next. So you'd need to do 12.10->13.04->13.10->14.04 | 16:50 |
| keviv | Boy that's a lot of upgrades | 16:51 |
| keviv | OK thanks guys! | 16:51 |

| netameta | ufw allow 53 -- how do i allow range ? | 16:52 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, I agree with MonkeyDust. Backup then fresh install of 14.04. Simplest, and easiest. | 16:53 |
| keviv | The_gryffyn: I can just backup /home, format, install 14.04, and then move /home back onto it right? | 16:53 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, yes, but you may want to backup PPAs and installed packages. | 16:54 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, to do so, install "aptik". It can backup apps, and PPAs. | 16:55 |
| keviv | The_gryffyn I hadn't installed much anyway | 16:55 |
| keviv | Might it be better to just apt-get stuff as I need it? | 16:55 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, yes. | 16:55 |
| keviv | OK cool | 16:55 |
| TJ- | keviv: You should also back-up "/etc/*" in case it contains system-settings you later need to copy over | 16:55 |
| tshot | Hi | 16:56 |
| the_gryffyn | I agree, TJ- | 16:56 |
| keviv | TJ- all of it? | 16:56 |
| the_gryffyn | That's what the /* means. | 16:56 |
| keviv | There's nothing that would conflict though? | 16:56 |
| TJ- | keviv: I do... it's only text files mostly... not much space, especially as a tar.gz | 16:56 |
| the_gryffyn | No, not really. | 16:57 |
| Pici | keviv: don't blindly copy that on top of your new install though. | 16:57 |
| TJ- | keviv: I keep old "/etc/" from every release, just in case there's something in one I need again later and have forgotten about. | 16:57 |
| keviv | Oh so just selectively if I need something ok | 16:57 |
| TJ- | keviv: If I realise something is missing, I can go look through the back-ups | 16:57 |
| keviv | That's a good idea then | 16:57 |
| the_gryffyn | keviv, you should create the DVD or USB beforehand and backup the other things, then wipe. | 16:58 |
| the_gryffyn | That was slightly obvious, though. | 16:58 |
| the_gryffyn | I need to go now, thanks guys! | 16:58 |
| concord | Any word on the ubuntu phone? | 16:58 |
| keviv | Thanks the_gryffyn! | 16:58 |
| TJ- | keviv: Also, if you've done much using 'sudo' as root, think about backing up "/root/" in case there's saved preferences, key-files, etc., there too | 16:59 |
| DJones | concord: Probably best asking in #ubuntu-touch for that | 16:59 |
| concord | DJones: thanks | 16:59 |
| TJ- | keviv: I'm thinking particularly of SSH keys in "/root/.ssh/" | 16:59 |
| keviv | TJ- I really don't think that I even used it once actually. I can't seem to get the stupid win 8 secure boot out of the way | 17:00 |
| TJ- | keviv: Also... !!! .... if you've created virtual machines, you may want to back those images up (e.g. "/var/lib/libvirt/" ) | 17:00 |

| fff | i'm the guy facing troubles with xubuntu who's the guy was heloping me? | 17:04 |
| MonkeyDust | fff ask the channel | 17:05 |
| fff | anyway | 17:05 |
| fff | what is that? | 17:05 |
| TJ- | keviv: There is an easier way, the way I do it. Install using LVM Logical Volumes ... don't allocate all the space, just enough for what is needed. Seperate out per-release directories (root-fs, /var/) from cross-release (/home/, /usr/local/ /var/lib/libvirt/, etc.) one LV each as separate mountpoints... then when you want to do a clean install you can do it alongside those without deleting or disturbing them, simply by allocating additional space to new LVs for t | 17:05 |
| TJ- | he new install | 17:05 |
| fff | is that the support channel? | 17:05 |
| MonkeyDust | fff this is the support channel yes | 17:05 |
| netameta | i am trying to set up nodeMailer. getting connrefus errror, how can i connect to a certain address to check if something blocks it in ubuntu | 17:06 |
| fff | ok | 17:06 |

| fff | my gpu was lagging a lot whit xubuntu but everythign worked good. i tried lubuntu finally it's good,. but i don't know why it don't get my usb pen for wifi modem | 17:07 |
| fff | how can i get the internet access? | 17:07 |
| TJ- | keviv: my current LV mounts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7799368/ | 17:07 |
| netameta | Anyone ? | 17:08 |
| MonkeyDust | netameta don't say "anyone?", better repeat your question every 10 minutes or so, until someone can help | 17:09 |
| fff | MonkeyDust: do you how i can solve that | 17:09 |
| netameta | ok | 17:09 |
| netameta | how can i check if i can connect to a certain address to make sure its not blocked | 17:10 |
| keviv | TJ- oh. Why not one volume for all of /home? | 17:11 |
| TJ- | keviv: Because I have a "/home/all/" as a base mountpoint for all file-systems shared across users | 17:13 |
| TJ- | keviv: By using LVs like that they can be extended and shrunk as needed. I do a lot of software build and test, so file-systems grow and shrink alot | 17:14 |
| keviv | But why not count /home as one fs? It'll still shrink and grow, but less to handle | 17:14 |
| TJ- | keviv: Because if /home/ file-system is purely for user home directories ... separation into separate smaller file-system makes snapshots, backups, sharing and cloning more fine-grained and easier to manage | 17:17 |
| keviv | TJ- okay well I'd probably only be using it for light programing, and probably torrenting anyway | 17:18 |
| TJ- | keviv: If I boot into an alternate OS install, I can still mount some of those file-systems without needing to do anything special to protect /home/ from being modified in a way that would upset the user accounts | 17:18 |
| keviv | Oh true | 17:19 |
| TJ- | keviv: Another useful aspect of LVs is, if say VirtualMachines runs out of space that won't affect my /home/$USER/ directory | 17:19 |
| Malsasa | Hello, I was using Chromium 25 (and today 34). Everyday, no problem in my Ubuntu 12.04 since first install in 2012. But now, I don't know why, everytime I start Chromium (or Rekonq or Konqueror) to browse, I get my cursor disappearing. It is very annoying. It disappear when I click, right click, hover to a button that has tooltip, and always disappear when scrolling. Just open Chromium/those browsers and my cursor disappearing in every other applications | 17:19 |
| Malsasa | (including Libreoffice and Dolphin). This problem doesn't occured in Firefox at all. I have asked #freedesktop and a guy say "it is strange, i can't help", I have googled and try many ways from askubuntu, it is same. I don't have any idea why this problem occured. Any idea for me? Thank you. I use Ubuntu 12.04, Chromium 34 from official repo. | 17:19 |
| TJ- | keviv: so no weird 0-length config files that then cause strange failures in applications | 17:19 |
| keviv | TJ- yeah that's one reason that I did one volume for /home, bit it makes sense to make a new volume for each categorical subdirectory within /home | 17:21 |
| TJ- | keviv: I've had servers that have run out of space for "/var/log/" and having that in its own file-system helps prevent wider system issues if "/var/" would be out of space instead | 17:22 |

| keviv | netameta ping | 17:23 |
| netameta | ping address port ? | 17:23 |
| TJ- | keviv: The best part of using LVs is being able to do "sudo lvextend -L +4G VG/LV && sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG-LV" and have it do an online resize without needing an unmount | 17:24 |
| TJ- | netameta: Is it a TCP port? is it TLS/SSL? You can use "telnet $IP $PORT" or "openssl s_client -connect $IP:$PORT" | 17:24 |
| keviv | Netameta: is it a remote address or are you testing a local poet? | 17:25 |
| netameta | its a secure smpt server | 17:25 |
| keviv | *port | 17:25 |
| TJ- | netameta: OK, use the s_client approach then | 17:25 |
| netameta | like smtp.gmail.com 465 | 17:25 |
| keviv | TJ- O.O that's awesome | 17:26 |
| netameta | you have any article or link about that so i can read ? | 17:26 |
| TJ- | netameta: "openssl s_client smtp.gmail.com:465" => "220 mx.google.com ESMTP jb16sm46045978wic.10 - gsmtp" => "QUIT" | 17:26 |
| netameta | so 220 mx.google.com ESMTP d10sm26952397qaq.10 - gsmtp means its not blocked ? | 17:27 |
| TJ- | netameta: That's the SMTP server talking :) | 17:28 |
| netameta | ah | 17:28 |
| netameta | Crap so it is open to me.. | 17:28 |
| TJ- | netameta: send it "QUIT" to drop the connection | 17:28 |
| netameta | there's something else then | 17:28 |
| netameta | Ahh this is awesome i can talk back | 17:28 |
| keviv | That reminds me I still need to change my passwords back from heartbleed | 17:29 |
| TJ- | netameta: You can send an email that way "EHLO your.domain.tld" then "MAIL FROM: me@your.domain.tld". At this point you may require to do "AUTH LOGIN" | 17:30 |
| sambuco | let's check everything | 17:31 |

| netameta | i am trying to setup a mail client on nodeMailer | 17:33 |
| netameta | TJ- is it possible that i need to configure my nginx or it shouldnt matter ? | 17:33 |
| TJ- | netameta: But is that Google SMTP service your upstream SMTP relay? The AUTH challenge suggests that it is only for authorised customers to send their mail via, so your client will need to AUTH with some gmail credentials | 17:34 |
| netameta | TJ-, My client do authenticate with username/password | 17:36 |
| TJ- | netameta: OK, so you've got a local config issue then, it sounds like | 17:36 |
| netameta | it should not have anything to do with appache or nginx right ? i mean this is more for http server | 17:37 |
| netameta | those* | 17:37 |
| TJ- | netameta: I doubt an HTTP server is going to have anything to do with the SMTP client, but I'm not familiar with what you're doing | 17:38 |
| netameta | TJ- Thanks very much for you're help | 17:38 |

| lotuspsychje | danbower: did you try xrandr | 18:23 |
| danbower | never heard of it..i'll look into it now. thanks lotuspsychje | 18:24 |

| Myrtti | nnathanb: uh, what do you actually mean by that? | 18:24 |

| lotuspsychje | hotmedal: what version of ubuntu is this? | 18:28 |
| hotmedal | lotuspsychje: 14.04 | 18:28 |

| Beldar | hotmedal, From a quick look at DRDY I see bad HD, and connectios in general, do a smart check from disks top right gear drop down. | 18:45 |
| Loshki | hotmedal: this is usually a disk error (grep for ata3.00 in your dmesg) I think, due to the disk not being ready. It could mean the disk is pre-failure, or it could be the disk needs time to spin up. An fsck can't hurt, followed by SMART checks. | 18:45 |

| nabilhassein | I have a question about unattended-upgrades. I'm following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates but I want to automate the setup | 19:05 |
| nabilhassein | so the purple dialog that results from `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades` is pretty annoying | 19:05 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft ,Here its is http://imgur.com/jrJpGF4 | 19:05 |
| nabilhassein | is there another way to configure unattended-upgrades? | 19:05 |
| rewbycraft | nabilhassein: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates#Using_cron_and_aptitude | 19:05 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft , What i understood from dmesg was that it seems to repair the partition every time and takes too long for something like "random: nonblocking pool is initialized" | 19:07 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: It seems it's hanging on disk seeks. If you wanna speed it up, I suggest getting a SSD. | 19:07 |
| nabilhassein | rewbycraft: thanks. There won't be any difference in behavior between this and the above method? | 19:07 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft : I am pretty sure its a ubuntu only issue. I run eos luna which boots up pretty quickly and does not have such jumps in the dmesg | 19:08 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: And I don't know where you're getting the partition repair thing from. I'm not seeing that in the log you gave. | 19:08 |
| rewbycraft | nabilhassein: Cron is how you automate stuff like this. | 19:08 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft: it was there in the dmesg | 19:08 |
| rewbycraft | nabilhassein: I have a cron job on my servers that update them every day at 24:00. | 19:08 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Where? | 19:08 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft : at the 9.02 mark | 19:09 |
| nabilhassein | rewbycraft: I'm familiar with cron. I was just curious about how to automate the kind of dialog that dpkg-reconfigure pops up. I don't know what that kind of dialog is called so I couldn't google it | 19:09 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft:something about recovery required | 19:09 |
| rewbycraft | nabilhassein: Ah, like that. | 19:09 |
| Lope | I have an empty hard drive and an empty SSD. (no need to migrate data etc, any FS is ok) Should I use bcache or dm-cache? | 19:10 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Oh that, yes I saw that. But it's already done with that before the delay in messages. | 19:10 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: So that doesn't matter. | 19:10 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Although you might wanna look into that because it shouldn't be happening. | 19:10 |

| kostkon | theToastIsDone, #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:11 |
| gadgetron | @rewbycraft: it jumped to 18 seconds after that. Sometimes i even get something about plymouth termination issue. | 19:11 |
| theToastIsDone | ahh ok, thx | 19:11 |

| curious2000 | hello. i have a newbie question. how do i disable the log on whenever i boot up my computer? | 19:12 |
| cuddylier | If a user had access to the /etc/passwd file, would they be able to e.g. change the root password? | 19:13 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: The plymouth thing is because it doesn't always co-operate with systemd. It jumps to 18 seconds because after recovery the partition is mounted and all the binaries are being looked up and loaded into memory. In order to do this it needs to go all over the disk to find the data, which is causing the delay. | 19:13 |

| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Could you look into this slightly earlier bootchart? http://imgur.com/s2KYVkP | 19:13 |

| rewbycraft | cuddylier: Then no. | 19:14 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: Okay great, thanks | 19:14 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: Read access is normal, it is used to authenticate you. | 19:14 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: Yeah, I thought that | 19:15 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: And this is another issue thats causing boot to slow 3.427987] random: nonblocking pool is initialized | 19:15 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Same thing. It's waiting for the partition to mount and then it suddenly starts loading a variety of programs needed to boot the system. Those programs, though, are located all over the disk. | 19:15 |
| cuddylier | For my web directories, is it safe to just set them all to root to avoid e.g. the webuser, www-data from being able to go into folders it shouldn't? | 19:15 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Not an issue. Just a notification that the random number gen is online. | 19:16 |
| anonymous_ | ok, thanks . | 19:16 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: Why would you do that? That way the http server can't access them. | 19:16 |
| UltimaKR | Hi, does anyone know about lubuntu and graphics cards? | 19:17 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: It seems it still can, because someone made a script that got into one of my sites and since they all had the user as www-data they were able to go into all the website folders eventhough the permissions were 711 | 19:17 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Then there is nothing out of place in the boot process? The latest one ended at 34 in the log. The boot before that ended at 23. | 19:17 |
| cuddylier | And 711 is meant to be the public can't read | 19:17 |
| cuddylier | I changed that and the tool they used can no longer read the files but the website works fine | 19:17 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: That's how it's supposed to work. The webserver is www-data. | 19:17 |
| === kcantrell is now known as klcant102 | ||
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Nothing is out of place other than the recovery thing (although that isn't what's slowing you down). If you want a speedup, get a SSD. | 19:18 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: I use ubuntu as a daily driver. The only issue so far was the boot time. My laptop is fairly specced and runs really well most of the time. Does not lag at all. | 19:18 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: how can I stop a script that is injected into one of my sites then going into other website folders? | 19:18 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: The script accessing the folders is not the issue. The fact that they can inject the script, however, is. | 19:19 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: i5 , HD8730 , 1600MHz ram | 19:19 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: You still have a mechanical hdd. Lemme see if I can find the instructional/explainational vid I usually give people. | 19:19 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: I dual boot it with windows 8 with takes 30 seconds if i restart or 15 seconds from shutdown(hybrid) | 19:20 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: yes it is, I have found how they do it but just incase it happens again I mean | 19:20 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Windows 8 does all sorts of weird things to make it go like that. | 19:20 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: The script is most likely executed in the context of the webserver. As long as the server can access stuff, so can an injected script. | 19:21 |
| danbower | what exactly do you mean by injected script? | 19:21 |
| === ricardobarbosams is now known as Rood | ||
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: I was only wondering why ubuntu was taking longer. I know a SSD will speed things up. Elementary os luna is based on ubuntu 12.04 but it still manages to boot in under 22 seconds. I mentioned dual boot. its actually a triple boot. | 19:21 |
| cuddylier | rewbycraft: So if I changed the website folder owner to e.g. 'root' then the script could use root? | 19:21 |
| cuddylier | As at the moment the script has a console on it and everything | 19:21 |
| rewbycraft | cuddylier: No. The script has whatever use perms the http server has. | 19:21 |
| danbower | cuddylier, how is this script being injected? | 19:22 |
| cuddylier | danbower: It was via WHMCS | 19:22 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Granted ubuntu loads more stuff on boot then elementary. But the same thing applies to both. Windows on the other hand does some black magic. | 19:22 |
| === Rood is now known as ricardobarbosams | ||
| ^Lestat | voodoo | 19:24 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Windows i believe does a hybrid shutdown which enables it boot faster. but if you restart it , it will take much longer. for me the restart was atmost 30 seconds and normal boot( booting after a simple shutdown) was 15seconds. Luna takes 20 seconds. Seems to be something deeper than i can see is causing the lag. I guess the extra 10sec wait is still worth it. | 19:24 |
| kostkon | gadgetron, yeah, your boot speed is a bit on the slow side. even my atom netbook boots vanilla 12.04 faster than your i5. probably fsck is slowing things down, assuming that for some reason it is being started and checks your hd on every boot | 19:24 |
| danbower | cuddylier, oh. well i'm not particularly experienced with servers but i use "virtualmin" on my dev box which automates a lot of it. basically each host is represented as a user. so there'd be ~foo/public_html/ and ~bar/public_html/. naturally foo can only access stuff belonging to foo with this setup | 19:25 |
| cuddylier | danbower: I see, or even separate VPSs for each website I guess would be another solution | 19:25 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Maybe a later reinstall will fix it. Anyway thanks for your support. If i find something that works , i will let you know. #been using ubuntu since 11.10. | 19:26 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Me too. BTW: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404258,00.asp | 19:26 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Explains HDD vs SSD | 19:26 |
| danbower | cuddylier, yeah that could work too. maybe have a play with virtualmin? not sure how it integrates with whmcs but i personally like it | 19:26 |
| rewbycraft | kostkon: That seems weird. I almost never get fsck nowadays. | 19:26 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: thanks for the link. But i am well versed with such things. | 19:27 |
| cuddylier | Mhm maybe, thanks | 19:27 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: I can't assume anything in terms of knowledge. Sorry if you feel offended. | 19:27 |
| danbower | cuddylier, even if you don't use you could get a feel for it how sets up such things | 19:28 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: of course not. You might have come to a different conclusion if you had been physically debugging the laptop. I was just stating things. | 19:28 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: True. I usually prefer having my hands on the actual machine. But helping people via irc is a nice challenge. | 19:29 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Yep. Agree with that. It works on a level thats better than simple googling. | 19:29 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Still, your bootchart is about the same as mine and I've spend enough time to know that it means one thing: You're hitting the physical limits of the HDD seek time. | 19:30 |

I'm trying to use --newversion so that I can add "ppa1" but I want to script it... which means it would need to read the current version number so that I could pass it into --newversion with "ppa1" appended. Any thoughts? | 19:32 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft : Like 3 finger upward swipe to imitate the (super+w) function? Helpful when multitasking. I ended up using hotcorners for that and the workspace , but it would feel nice to have gestures for that. | 19:33 |
| rewbycraft | It seems to be supported by default if the wiki is to be believed. (I only use awesomewm and not unity) | 19:34 |

| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: seems nice. But not something i would go to for now. Oldschool geek style. | 19:39 |
| Caroga | was wondering, any of you ever noticed internet/wifi stability problems when using wifi AND bluetooth ? | 19:39 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Kinda. But you can configure it to look and behave however you want it. I spent a good time configuring it, but worth it. (sadly java doesn't wanna co-operate) | 19:40 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Do you have any solution for improving battery life? Been using tlp and thermald, it works in a way, but not as much as i would have liked it to. | 19:40 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Then its not for me. Need java for too many things unfortunately. | 19:41 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Turn down backlighting. Also, powertop can really show you what's using power. | 19:41 |
| saqib_ | hi | 19:41 |
| saqib_ | i need help sir | 19:41 |
| saqib_ | how are you all ? | 19:42 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Let me clarify: java works, the context menus are just a bit weird and select the item below what I'm hovering over. | 19:42 |
| saqib_ | my usb mouse suspend after hibernate what should i do ? | 19:42 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Makes Intellij a bit annoying, but keyboard shortcuts save the day. | 19:42 |
| saqib_ | help help help | 19:42 |
| saqib_ | help me pleae | 19:42 |
| saqib_ | please | 19:42 |
| Beldar | !please | saqib_ | 19:43 |
| saqib_ | my usb mouse suspend after restart can any one provide me solutions ? | 19:43 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: The powerstat power usage stats dont make sense some times. Usage is about 12 watts sometimes and then its fine. But occasionally it does not get below 16 watts. Sometimes a restart works, sometimes it does not. | 19:43 |
| saqib_ | hello | 19:43 |
| saqib_ | ok bye | 19:43 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: I use powertop to because it shows you what device is using the power. | 19:44 |
| Beldar | saqib_, State your issue an just that. | 19:44 |
| danbower | saqib_, do you have another mouse to try? i'm not entirely sure what you mean by "suspend" but perhaps it has just died? | 19:44 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: right now it says some usb device : usb 2.0 generic is using about 11 watts even though no usb device is connected. | 19:45 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Internal usb. Do you have bluetooth? | 19:45 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: yes but its off. | 19:46 |
| rewbycraft | WiFi then? | 19:46 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Anything with lights and/or antenna's is generally the issue. | 19:46 |
| rewbycraft | *antennas | 19:46 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: i guess its just showing the wrong device id. | 19:46 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft : i use a intel wifi card. supposed to be efficient at power managemtn. | 19:47 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Could be. It's fairly common for internal WiFi and bluetooth modules to actually be usb devices connected to an internal usb bus. | 19:47 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Yeah. Need to check into how its on mine. | 19:48 |
| gadgetron | i used to be able to get it down to 9 watt usage on 13.10 | 19:49 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: by switching ooff the dedicated graphics. | 19:49 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Like I said, a general rule of thumb that seems to work for me: The order of power consumption is: Screen backlight -> anything with an antenna -> gpu/cpu -> hdd -> other stuff | 19:49 |

| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Even then i guess on any given laptop ubuntu seems to run out faster than windows. | 19:50 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: You have a machine with dual gfx? I only have a dedicated nvidia card. | 19:50 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: dedicated AMD. HD8730 | 19:50 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Yeah. Ubuntu takes a bit more power than windows because it's doing more than windows is (it likes to keep things running full power). | 19:51 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Neat. | 19:51 |
| ^Lestat | Can I just delete aplication folders like I do in unix? | 19:52 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: <- the gfx card I mean. | 19:52 |
| Beldar | ^Lestat, And the end goal doing that is? | 19:52 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Thanks. Dont game much but black flag does look pretty good when hooked up to a hdtv | 19:52 |
| ^Lestat | removing an ap? | 19:53 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: I mostly play minecraft but a good gfx card allows me to pull all sorts of fancy stuff. | 19:53 |
| ropuros | ciao | 19:53 |
| Beldar | ^Lestat, No, if you want it removed you need apt-get remove if purged apt-get purge | 19:53 |
| ^Lestat | and if I "installed it" via untarring it? | 19:53 |
| Beldar | ^Lestat, This is on apps from the repos, ones you install may be different. | 19:54 |
| rewbycraft | ^Lestat: make uninstall | 19:54 |
| Beldar | ^Lestat, Any legit tar should have a read me with info. | 19:54 |
| rewbycraft | ^Lestat: If you ran "sudo make install" than deleting the src dir (the untarred dir) isn't going to do much. | 19:54 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Seems the tunables section in powertop is acutally useful. Never worked in 13.10 and assumed it wouldnt continue in 14.04. But it does! usage down to 11 watts now. Yeah, i like converting videos and using the GPU to do it is much faster. and rendering the app layout on SDK's is much faster when having a good GPU. or using the video processing software. | 19:54 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Or just making your desktop look fancy. | 19:55 |

| Beldar | mw, Be careful in spreading the info across more than one post you will get lost possibly. | 19:57 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Hmm. will try that. Rarely use IRC. Glad i did today though. Only place where you can mention anything about linux and people dont gape. | 19:57 |
| mw | I have a problem: I can't use jackd in parallel with ALSA - when I enable jackd, programs using ALSA stop sending audio output. Is it possible to run both at once? | 19:58 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Well, the internet has many places where linux users gather. | 19:59 |
| Pici | mw: If you don't get an answer here, you may want to ask in #ubuntustudio :) | 19:59 |
| mw | thanks pici - that's what im using, but ubuntu has larger community ;D | 19:59 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: I change that to one of the few places. But then internet always has everything you can think of. | 19:59 |
| Pici | mw: yes, but #ubuntustudio has people who know a lot more about jackd than we do | 20:00 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: Yup. | 20:00 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Thats the best part about it. Recent moves by the russian gvt about user data is troubling though. | 20:00 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Such moves will only encourage the chinese govt about their orwellien great firewall. | 20:01 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: If we're going down that hole we'd better continue the convo in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:01 |
| gadgetron | rewbycraft: Of course. Does using TLP really help with battery life? | 20:01 |
| rewbycraft | gadgetron: TLP? | 20:02 |
| mw | xchat is really good and reliable - I use it | 20:02 |

| sukrit | Spec: Is it getting updated now ? My script is constantly failing .... was wondering how long the process takes .... | 20:30 |
| Spec | sukrit: no idea | 20:30 |
| rewbycraft | sukrit: Run "sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*" (without quotes) and then run "sudo apt-get update" | 20:31 |
| sukrit | rewbtcraft: let me try that | 20:32 |
| rewbycraft | sukrit: What you're experiencing is a corrupted package list on disk. The commands I gave delete the lists on your hdd and then redownloads them from the servers. | 20:33 |

| wannabegeekster | Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 on VirtualBox. Is it normal for there to be no xorg.conf file anywhere? I am only getting 640x480 resolution right now | 20:48 |
| rewbycraft | wannabegeekster: Yes. It's dynamically generated on boot. In order to fix the resolution you'll wanna install virtualbox-guest-dkms in the vm and reboot. | 20:49 |
| rewbycraft | *boot=the fly | 20:49 |
| tinker | cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf - | 20:49 |
| tinker | where does that install? | 20:49 |
| wannabegeekster | Ok thanks | 20:49 |
| rewbycraft | tinker: You're home directory. | 20:49 |
| rewbycraft | *your (it's getting late, can you tell?) | 20:50 |
| varunendra | wannabegeekster, the xorg.conf file is no longer needed by the default Ubuntu installation. It gets generated, if required, by proprietary drivers like nvidia or fglrx (ATI). To get proper resolution in VBox, you need to install "Guest Additions" in the guest OS. | 20:50 |
| rewbycraft | varunendra: VBox guest additions is also known as virtualbox-guest-dkms in the ubuntu repos. | 20:51 |
| wannabegeekster | Doing that now. Will see what happens on the reboot | 20:51 |
| allgoodAtTaoti | hi all, trying out a build of 14.04 to switch some php servers to. I'm testing mysql but am getting mysql_gone_away errors for what should be a pretty standard application. Before I spend a ton of time debugging is this a common issue that's been happening in 14.04? I realize this may be a question for #mysql but I ask here because mysql was installed using apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 but my application is reporting 5.5.37-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 | 20:51 |
| allgoodAtTaoti | which seems inconsistant | 20:51 |
| nathanel1itane | rewbycraft: no go | 20:51 |
| rewbycraft | nathanel1itane: Did you reboot the vm? | 20:52 |
| nathanel1itane | the else still goes to 0 == 0 | 20:52 |
| varunendra | rewbycraft, but installing it on Host is not enough, one has to install it from within the Guest OS as well - which I'm sure you already know :) | 20:52 |
| rewbycraft | nathanel1itane: Sorry, wrong person. | 20:52 |
| rewbycraft | varunendra: That's what i said. There's no use in guest additions on the host. | 20:52 |
| wannabegeekster | Loud and clear rewbycraft | 20:52 |
| rewbycraft | wannabegeekster: Does it work now? | 20:53 |
| rewbycraft | nathanel1itane: I don't know then. I was looking at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19812843/shell-script-zenity-check-if-canceled | 20:53 |
| wannabegeekster | Rebooting as we speak. Will let you know momentarily | 20:54 |
| rewbycraft | wannabegeekster: First command I issue on any ubuntu vm: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms -y && sudo reboot | 20:54 |
| wannabegeekster | Definitely working | 20:54 |
| rewbycraft | wannabegeekster: Great! | 20:55 |

| rewbycraft | wannabegeekster: No problem. | 20:55 |
| ethern0t | heyo | 20:55 |
| wannabegeekster | and thank you varunendra | 20:55 |
| varunendra | rewbycraft, I thought it is the package that only retrieves the guest-additions iso. Good info to keep in mind. Thanks :) | 20:56 |
| varunendra | wannabegeekster, I learned something too :) | 20:56 |
| rewbycraft | varunendra: Nah that's: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso. virtualbox-guest-dkms installs the kernel modules that the iso would install. I prefer virtualbox-guest-dkms because it's proper package and can easily be removed. | 20:57 |
| rewbycraft | varunendra: In contrast to the iso which isn't easily undone. (or upgraded for that matter, another reason why i prefer the package) | 20:58 |
| tinker | I care mostly about speed. Which is faster: Unity, KDE, Gnome? | 20:58 |
| varunendra | rewbycraft, just checked it with 'apt-cache show..' - confirmed already. Good to know there is something .deb for the purpose. | 20:58 |

| kantlivelong | reisio: its a laptop so id imagine S3. it definitely suspends but heat keeps being generated and my battery doesnt last more than 8 hours (normal 1 hr batt) | 21:28 |
| cool_boy | OerHeks: dpkg is giving error, and in software center can't find | 21:29 |
| kantlivelong | reisio: its very weird.. ive never encountered a suspend issue like this | 21:29 |
| cool_boy | and how to find correct name of package? | 21:29 |
| JV___ | dont talk as too smart | 21:29 |
| JV___ | we try all the way | 21:30 |
| kantlivelong | and i can confirm that the SSD is still on as the LED on it is on. | 21:30 |
| JV___ | then only ask you | 21:30 |
| reisio | kantlivelong: I'd play with the BIOS prefs and the software power manager prefs for suspend first | 21:31 |

| Tha-Fox | hi! I just found that m XBMCbuntu is running ubuntu 12.10 and the support ended in May. the next release 13.04 has also been unsupported since January. any idea how I'm able to upgrade to 14.04? I just run "do-release-upgrade -d" and it's downloading from repos "saucy-updates, saucy-backports" etc. is it possible to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.10 as this seems to try to do? | 21:34 |
| JV___ | nothing like that | 21:35 |

| reisio | ryan-c: if you do a lot of installs, you might look into debootstrap; if you just need to clone installs, there are even better approaches | 21:37 |
| Tha-Fox | kostkon: thanks a lot! I use most of the time Arch, so Ubuntu upgrades are not too familiar. I'll see what I can accomplish with those directions | 21:38 |

| k1l | JV___: or remove the local apt lists in /var/lib/apt/. | 21:50 |
| JV___ | this is i done | 21:50 |
| JV___ | i tried | 21:50 |

| Tha-Fox | unfortunately this does not help me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades it is still trying to upgrade me straight to saucy salamander instead of unsupported raring ringtail (13.04). could the old "sed trick" still work where I change all occurrences of "quental" to "raring" in my sources.list if the urls point to old-releases.ubuntu.com? | 21:52 |

| etronik | HI all, I just added a HDD (from prior laptop) to a system with an SSD, and now PC keeps booting from the HDD instead of from the SSD, how do I go back to booting from SSD ? TIA! | 22:22 |
| etronik | btw, old HDD had older version of Ubuntu, SSD has 14.04 | 22:22 |
| Tzunamii | etronik: Just go into the new system's BIOS and change the boot order | 22:23 |
| edition | under /etc, where is jack? | 22:23 |
| etronik | Tzunamii: the BIOS already is statig the SDD as 1st boot priority | 22:23 |

| etronik | friendlyfascism: hmm a few days old | 22:24 |

| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||

| friendlyfascism | YES | 22:29 |
| friendlyfascism | it is not rocket science | 22:29 |

| Cloud1997 | It's the bankers. | 22:31 |
| etronik | friendlyfascism: deep in the advanced menu, HDD is listed as second priotity ! why would I change that to list HDD as first priority ? | 22:31 |
| friendlyfascism | etronik, Since you seem to not understand me I'm asking you to be clear as well. | 22:32 |
| monoton | Cloud1997: remember that usually Windows want to be the first partition on the disk... | 22:32 |
| etronik | ah ok, it was not cristal clear... sorry | 22:32 |
| Cloud1997 | So what mount points do I select? | 22:32 |
| tubular39485 | I'm having some issues with video drivers on an AMD laptop with an ATI card. Was using fglrx, Xorg took ~50% CPU (some of the time, anyways) and a huge amount of ram. Switched to fglrx-updates, seemed to be doing the same thing (reinstalled drivers, logged out and back in, which seemed to reset Xorg, before restarting - I have now restarted and we'll see if it changes.) | 22:32 |
| etronik | friendlyfascism: to clear it up: basic options SSD as 1st prio, deep in the advanced settings SSD as 1st prio | 22:33 |
| friendlyfascism | Cloud1997, Do you have 4 primary partitions as of now? | 22:34 |
| tubular39485 | Thing is, I switched away from the free drivers because the screen wasn't coming back on at all after suspend, and the proprietary drivers fixed that problem. Any advice on fixing either problem? (suspend seems doable if only I knew Linux magic) | 22:34 |
| monoton | Cloud1997: I'm not sure I got the problem right... you are about to install ubuntu, and have windwos installed before, or nothing installed before, or? | 22:34 |

| monoton | yeah suspend seems to still be a problem on lots of laptops :( and no userfriendly way to fix their problem in sight.... | 22:35 |
| friendlyfascism | <Cloud1997> I have a 220gb drive with two partitions on it. 1=100gb Linux, 2=140gb Windows. Drive is blank. Question 1: Why can't I choose NTFS anymore for Windows? Question 2: What Mount points do I select for each partition? HOw can you have partitions and a blank drive? | 22:36 |
| friendlyfascism | Cloud1997, Pastebin sudo parted -l | 22:36 |
| Cloud1997 | friendlyfascism: Why would there be 4 partitions? | 22:36 |
| monoton | Cloud1997: if you have an empty hard disk, and want to have both Windows and Linux, then I recommend to install Windows first, on first half of the disk, and then Linux on the other half | 22:36 |
| Maltahl | i have some problems connecting to a VPN (PPTP) on Ubuntu Server 14.04 i have tried installing the GUI to see if that helped using network-manager-pptp. but when i enter the details are provided by my VPN provider i click the On Switch and then it stays saying not connected. Then when i click the on/off button agian to turn it off it crashes the network-manager | 22:37 |
| Cloud1997 | monoton: Windows hasn't arrived yet so I'm just going to put Linux on for now and leave the other partition for later. Yes I know Windows will destroy the boot loader but I think I remember how to restore it. | 22:37 |
| monoton | or if you have files on the disk before, move those last on the disk perhaps, as third partition maybe | 22:37 |
| friendlyfascism | Cloud1997, Your description is raggedy, pastebin sudo parted -l | 22:38 |
| Cloud1997 | friendlyfascism: I am on a laptop separate from the pc which has nothing on it. No browser, no pastebin! | 22:39 |
| friendlyfascism | Cloud1997, Boot the live cd and run it. | 22:39 |
| Cloud1997 | No | 22:39 |
| friendlyfascism | dvd/usb actually | 22:39 |
| monoton | Cloud1997: ok. yeah you can fix the boot loader and grub boot menu later after the Windows install. just leave enough space in the start of the disk for windows. make an empty partition there for it | 22:39 |
| friendlyfascism | Cloud1997, Cool, but not being on the computer to show stuff is bad use of the channel. | 22:39 |
| friendlyfascism | you are making us guess that is not good | 22:40 |
| ajf | Hey | 22:41 |
| ajf | does setgid propagate for dirs? | 22:41 |
| ajf | If I make a dir in a setgid folder | 22:41 |
| ajf | will it have setgid too? | 22:41 |
| Cloud1997 | monoton: Yep. I was going to leave it just blank as EXT4 partition. But it asks what the mount points should be. Perhaps it's / for the main parition, /home for the other one but it's just a guess. I went on a google search and it didn't help that much. | 22:41 |
| monoton | Cloud, depending on your needs, a third partition for data (to be used by both your windows and linux programs) can be nice to have. I usually do that as fat32 wich is nice if you don't need files that are larger than 4 GB (video editing maybe?) | 22:42 |
| Cloud1997 | I found an almost identical problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/370208/what-mount-point-should-i-use-for-data-free-space | 22:42 |
| ajf | Aha | 22:43 |
| ajf | setgid does propagate :) | 22:43 |
| monoton | Cload1997 yeah "/" is where linux os is installed. if you want a separate partition for your home directory (why?) then that one would be /home/ | 22:43 |
| kmitchell | hey what's the terminal command name to open display settings window? | 22:46 |
| causasui | so, when executed in the shell, this command gives no output. but when executed in cron, I get log entries with the output of the ping command.

| === cool_boy_ is now known as cool_boy | ||
| monoton | Cloud1997: I'm not sure how ubuntu installation program is these days, but you can always partition the disk before install with gparted. (if gparted is not included in the ubuntu livedvd you can get it with synaptic package manager or Softwarecenter (if you have enough ram memory), in gparted you can format the first gonna-be-windows as ntfs perhaps (or fat32 and the windows installation will reformat it as ntfs later...) | 22:47 |
| etronik | rehi - somehow solved the sdd booting thing | 22:47 |
| Cloud1997 | monoton: The issue was that I was selecting Primary each time for both partitions. So it was asking me to choose a different mount point each time. It's accepted / for both now. | 22:48 |
| nolo | so i have this weird issue where randomly tf2 becomes sluggish. i suspect it has to do with unity in that it doesn't happen with gnome or kde. it happened with my previous amd card, and my now nvidia card, both with proprietary drivers (although was fine with the open source amd one). anyone else have similar issues? | 22:48 |
| monoton | Cloud1997: oh now I think I understand your questsion, you wonder about what to set the partitions that is not gonna be used by linux to? and no you sohuld not set a mount point to them! | 22:49 |
| Cloud1997 | Yes | 22:49 |
| Cloud1997 | But why would it not allow me to choose NTFS anymore? | 22:50 |
| monoton | only the partitions where you will install linux (or have swap or your linux username home) can be made in the ubuntu installation program. Other partitions where you will not put linux things must be made outside the installation program. like the NTFS partition. make those with gparted instead | 22:51 |
| monoton | if you didn't have any partitions on the disk before, then I recommend to quit the installation program and run gparted first from the livecd before installing, so you can make the (empty) windows partition first | 22:53 |
| monoton | and then run the installation program. | 22:53 |
| Cloud1997 | monoton: I get it. Thanks for the help. | 22:53 |
| etronik | I'm creating a new swap partition on the HDD, what filesystem do I specify for it ? | 22:53 |

| kmitchell | or the display settings in 14.04 | 22:54 |
| Tzunamii | Yes, there's a filesystem specifically for swap | 22:55 |

| tubular39485 | kmitchell: monitors can be set using xrandr (though you'll have to learn how to use it), unity-control-center may be what you're looking for | 23:01 |
| monoton | what is tha last version of Ubuntu before it used gnome3? | 23:01 |
| kmitchell | tubular39485: do you know how to work xrandr? | 23:03 |
| k1l_ | monoton: there is no supported ubuntu desktop version with gnome2 anymore. but you can use another desktop enviroment on ubuntu | 23:03 |
| friendlyfascism | !xrandr | kmitchell | 23:04 |
| ubottu | kmitchell: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 23:04 |

| maxflax | Trying to get bootcamp making me a partition so I can install linux. It whines about that I need to insert a Windows 7 disc in the drive. Anyone have any tips how to circumvent this? | 23:17 |
| borbit | Are you on mac? | 23:17 |
| maxflax | borbit: yes | 23:17 |
| borbit | I think bootcamp only does windows en osX | 23:17 |
| borbit | maxflax: bootcamp only does win and osX | 23:18 |

| maxflax | Have used bootcamp on earlier OS X so I could install linux but with OS X Maverick they have changed this as it seems. | 23:18 |
| monoton | Guest17855: sorry I can't say I know anything about lightdm :-/ | 23:18 |

| ubottu | borbit: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:19 |
| borbit | friendlyfascism, like this? | 23:19 |
| friendlyfascism | yep | 23:19 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: i could not use bootcamp on maverics either... refit did it... | 23:20 |
| borbit | Now you get some extra alert? | 23:20 |
| friendlyfascism | borbit, yes it is colored here. | 23:20 |
| tubular39485 | maxflax: it can be done, you just have to partition and install yourself. rEFIt for bootloader? | 23:20 |
| friendlyfascism | green | 23:20 |
| tubular39485 | borbit: yep, irc clients higlight your own name | 23:20 |

| amed | how to download all images from https://drive.google.com/ with wget ? | 23:20 |
| borbit | Oke I'm thinking to buy a asus t100 transformer tablet/ laptop. Is it possible to use ubuntu on it? Dual boot. Or does it not work on such a device? I think it had a normal intel cpu? | 23:21 |
| borbit | intel atom or something? | 23:21 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: ok, I guess you did your own partitioning before refit? | 23:21 |

| friendlyfascism | amed, /join | 23:23 |
| amed | friendlyfascism, lol | 23:23 |
| borbit | friendlyfascism, thanks. That website looks really useful. Is it only for searching computer related things or also other things? | 23:23 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: yeap..if i remember correctly | 23:24 |
| friendlyfascism | borbit, I just gave you a google search, what website? | 23:24 |
| borbit | friendlyfascism, yes google. It looks really useful! | 23:24 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: Wanted to avoid reinstalling osx. but I guess Im forced to if a I want to install linux on it. | 23:25 |
| friendlyfascism | borbit, It or any other of the handful of search engines | 23:25 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: why? | 23:25 |
| iamwhoiam | i didnt | 23:25 |
| borbit | friendlyfascism, what is this "search engine" you speak off? I'm not a mechanic. I no very little about engines. | 23:26 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: only have my hfs+ partition now. | 23:26 |
| friendlyfascism | borbit, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine | 23:26 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: or can I rezise it with ubuntu live cd installer? | 23:27 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: if i remember correctly, i installed refit.. then disk utility (sth like that?) to create the partitions, insert live cd/dvd | 23:28 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: and format the partitions from there | 23:28 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: am i missing something? | 23:29 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: and keeping your os x installation? | 23:29 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: yeap... booting is done by refit, | 23:29 |
| binary | hi, is it possible to change the ubuntu logo during grub boot screen for an install iso? i am having a hard time finding any documention. the only documentation i have found is for live isos, not install isos | 23:29 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: I know, but can the live cd rezise the hfs+ partition so I can create new partitions? | 23:30 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: i use macosx only when i need the battery, so not really mac user | 23:30 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: this you will do from within macosx.. | 23:30 |

| iamwhoiam | maxflax: disk utility is called, no? | 23:30 |
| ice9 | is there a forked project from gnome 2? | 23:30 |
| === jibranijaz is now known as jibran | ||
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: ok, testing it right now, | 23:31 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: 1. install refit, 2. disk utility and create/resize the partitions you are going to need, 3. boot *ubuntu and just choose the partitions you ae going to need | 23:33 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: keep in mind this is the general steps, if something is needed in between, you have to check as i dont remember (had a lot of issues making things running afterwards) | 23:34 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: I know, using rEFInd thou.. refit is no longer developed. | 23:34 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: vale.. good luck | 23:36 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: Did it 2 years ago... decided to upgrade my OSX to Maverick which destroyed all so now Im doing a fresh install. | 23:36 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: your upgrade destroyed everything? mine, from the apple store thing was fine | 23:36 |
| iamwhoiam | maxflax: it created problems within mac, changed directories of compilers and libraries, so i never used it again for work.. but the linux part was ok - besides its own problems that it already had | 23:37 |
| maxflax | iamwhoiam: the installer didn't like my partitions so I tried to fix that and in the process I had to remove my linux partition | 23:38 |
| c4rd3 | hi | 23:39 |

| maxflax | UBuxuBU: Use Hirens boot cd. have all the tools u need. | 23:44 |
| OerHeks | maxflax, hirens is illegal, do not suggest it here. use UBcd instead, thanks | 23:46 |
| friendlyfascism | skjones, depends on who you ask and I believe it has lost support. | 23:46 |
| jeff_1 | Hi, I cannot seem to log in via the window manager, can anyone help me with this? | 23:46 |
| skjones | friendlyfascism, what does "lost support" mean? | 23:47 |
| jeff_1 | I am not sure where to start troubleshooting this problem, any help along the way would be appreciated | 23:48 |
| josh | Heya guys | 23:48 |
| === josh is now known as Guest24101 | ||
| maxflax | OerHeks: ok, sorry. Ultimate Boot cd is good aswell. | 23:48 |
| friendlyfascism | skjones, I thought I had seen that the development was winding down. | 23:49 |
| OerHeks | jeff_1, after typing password, do you return to login? you might suffer this .Xauthority issue >http://askubuntu.com/questions/436925/ownership-of-xauthority-transferred-to-root | 23:49 |
| === enthusiast is now known as DigitalZombie | ||
| Guest24101 | Hello Guys | 23:50 |
| iamwhoiam | OerHeks: an honest question, why is hirens illegal? | 23:50 |
| jeff_1 | OerHeks: No I just checked, I have ownership permission for the .Xauthority file | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | iamwhoiam, there is a small xp installation on it, and some partitiontools are paid | 23:51 |
| jeff_1 | OerHeks: And yes, after typing password, I just return to the login screen | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | jeff_1, then i have no clue :-( | 23:51 |
| jeff_1 | Where might I start troubleshooting this problem? | 23:52 |
| jeff_1 | Also this problem just emerged when I installed updates this morning, the updates were to some X11 packages | 23:53 |
| Maltahl | sorry for write this agian but its been over an hour: i have some problems connecting to a VPN (PPTP) on Ubuntu Server 14.04 i have tried installing the GUI to see if that helped using network-manager-pptp. but when i enter the details are provided by my VPN provider i click the On Switch and then it stays saying not connected. Then when i click the on/off button agian to turn it off it crashes the network-manager | 23:55 |
| maxflax | jeff_1: When it fails to start X11 it throws you back to the login screen. Had the same problem some years ago. | 23:58 |
| hans_ | hello i have a brightness question | 23:58 |
| jeff_1 | maxflax: how did you solve it? | 23:58 |
| hans_ | xbacklight -set 40% wont work | 23:58 |
