|---|---|---|
| basiclaser | the existing 32-bit userspace, and if you want a | 00:00 |
| basiclaser | 64-bit userspace create it in a chroot | 00:00 |
| TJ- | basiclaser: Hmmm, not sure I've read anything specific on it. It's a combination of 2 concepts. 1) installing the amd64 versions of the kernel packages and 2) using standard procedures to install Ubuntu into a chroot | 00:00 |
| ikonia | basiclaser: install a 64bit OS - make life simple | 00:01 |
| linuxlite | by the way i used sudo apt-get update is that how you do it? | 00:01 |
| Vyse007 | Thanks guys, but I do know about the release schedule. I just want to know what stops us from switching to the repo of the newer version, considering that all packages upto that point are updated. Sorry if it sounds stupid, but I would appreciate a simple answer. | 00:01 |
| basiclaser | ikonia: yup think i will :) | 00:01 |
| ikonia | Vyse007: because it will cause conflicts and break things | 00:01 |
| TJ- | basiclaser: but as ikonia says, if you can do it, install the 64-bit OS ... that'll support 32-bit applications too if you install the 'foreign' i386 architecture | 00:01 |
| TJ- | basiclaser: I use 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernels, mostly on USB keys, where they have both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to cope with booting on any Intel/AMD CPU type | 00:02 |
| Foxhoundz | oh my god I think it worked | 00:02 |
| Foxhoundz | or maybe it didn't. | 00:02 |
| Foxhoundz | I edited /etc/networks/interface and added auto wlan0 | 00:03 |
| Foxhoundz | now it's stuck at "Waiting for network configuration" at bootup | 00:03 |
| Foxhoundz | :| | 00:03 |
| TJ- | Foxhoundz: You'll also need a wpa_supplicant config | 00:03 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Any updates? | 00:03 |
| TJ- | Foxhoundz: That's why, often, taking advantage of Network Manager's built-in handling makes it quicker and easier to do | 00:03 |
| Vyse007 | ikonia: I guess so. But why should things break? What do these things depend upon? The kernel, or some other components that do not get updated from the repos? Nonetheless, if things do indeed break, then it must mean that some packages must be dependent on a feature that does not get updated when we run 'apt-get update'... | 00:04 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: Yes... your pastebin was a simply grep of the lines matching the *starting* phrase - I want to see *every* line from the last occurence of the starting phrase, to the end of the file :) | 00:04 |
| Foxhoundz | TJ-: I used wpa_passphrase to generate a config file | 00:04 |
| ikonia | Vyse007: you wanted a simple explaination, you got one | 00:05 |
| Foxhoundz | Well, 'here's my config file: http://pastie.org/9397838 | 00:05 |

| Foxhoundz | I can't go into the garage :| | 00:08 |
| Foxhoundz | there are spiders there... | 00:08 |
| ikonia | Foxhoundz: great, so just use network manager to configure it | 00:08 |
| ikonia | easy and simple | 00:08 |
| Foxhoundz | ikonia: in all seriousness, if it's possible through the GUI it should be possible through the back-end terminal, no? | 00:09 |
| ikonia | Foxhoundz: of course it is | 00:09 |
| Foxhoundz | After all, even network manager is a wrapper for the back-end variants. | 00:09 |
| ikonia | Foxhoundz: no it's not | 00:09 |
| Foxhoundz | Oh? | 00:09 |
| ikonia | Foxhoundz: network manager is network manager | 00:09 |
| Foxhoundz | ok | 00:09 |
| Foxhoundz | I will try your method | 00:09 |
| TJ- | Foxhoundz: So, create the system wifi connection from nm-applet, then edit it's connection file in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/" and add the "autoconnect" command | 00:09 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: I believe this is what you're asking for. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7806369/ | 00:09 |

| TJ- | zenkeku: Hmm, that doesn't show a suspend/resume attempt. | 00:12 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: It means the disk may be on its way to failure... there's I/O errors reported | 00:13 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Ah, that is odd.. I've had those for years, though. | 00:13 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: check its health: "sudo apt-get install smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda | pastebinit" | 00:13 |

| AltruismAndCake | so many people leaving D: | 00:25 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: possible, but we can't know yet. Can you do a suspend/resume cycle attempt now, then reboot clean and check that "/var/log/kern.log" has grown (it may have been moved to "/var/log/kern.log.1" and the current kern.log will not contain any suspend/resume log messages). Then pastebin the contents of the log from the most recent startup to the end of the file, including the suspend/resume attempt. | 00:29 |

| TJ- | zenkeku: every kernel message should be written to the kern.log ... when kern.log gets 'too large' it is moved to kern.log.1. If that file already exists, then kern.log.1 is compressed and moved to kern.log.2.gz, the next time kern.log.3.gz, and so on. | 00:43 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: I made the backup myself, so it is likely the file was not too large. | 00:43 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: That system doesn't seem to be capturing any kernel messages when you attempt a suspend, in fact, it seems to be losing the old file | 00:43 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: The backup was made because I didn't want to parse through 13,000 lines of code. | 00:43 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: OK, well with the new kern.log in place and apparently being written to, try another suspend-resume cycle :) Hopefully this time the log-file will capture the details :) | 00:44 |

| TJ- | zenkeku: It does, and then immediately resumes, likely due to "[ 752.068627] [Firmware Bug] ..." | 00:50 |
| edition | id rather not use virtualbox :) | 00:50 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Ah.. Hm. Is there anyway to fix this? | 00:50 |
| TJ- | edition: Add "-boot order=c,menu=on" to your qemu/kvm command-line | 00:51 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: If the firmware/ACPI isn't putting the devices to bed correctly, one of them is generating an interrupt which is immediately waking the system so it can be handled, is my guess right now | 00:52 |
| Foxhoundz | ok so I have my ubuntu hooked up with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Now how do I set it to autoconnect to both wired and wireless connections at bootup (before login)? | 00:52 |

| TJ- | zenkeku: Let's deal with basics first. Are there *any* external devices connected to the laptop (USB, ExpressCard, Firewire, etc.) ? | 00:54 |
| TJ- | Foxhoundz: set both connections to "autoconnect=TRUE" | 00:55 |
| Foxhoundz | TJ-: where do I do thaT? | 00:55 |
| Foxhoundz | are there any steps before doing that? | 00:55 |
| koell | Foxhoundz: there is something in the network connections | 00:55 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Not to my knowledge. There isn't anything connected on the outside. I haven't messed with the inside. | 00:55 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: external devices may be sending 'wake-up' signals, USB keyboards are favourites for that | 00:55 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: OK... is there a wired network connection, or are you only using WiFi ? | 00:56 |
| TJ- | Foxhoundz: I told you earlier... do you want me to re-paste the message? | 00:56 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Yes, I'm only using wifi. | 00:56 |
| Foxhoundz | TJ-: yes please | 00:56 |
| TJ- | Jul 17 00:48:56 <TJ-> Foxhoundz: But you can edit the connection info (in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/") adding any valid settings, including "autoconnect=TRUE" (in the "[connection]" stanza | 00:57 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: OK, so other devices aren't the issue. | 00:57 |
| Foxhoundz | TJ-: so I guess I didn't need to plug in my monitor for this | 00:58 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: My next thought would be there may be some setting/combination of settings in the BIOS/Firmware that are affecting this, but laptops are usually so locked down I can't guess at what they might be | 00:58 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: This has been an issue for a while, I've just never really worried about it. Every flavor of linux I've used has had this issue, including Arch, Mint and Debian. | 00:58 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: on this same hardware, or on other hardware too? | 00:58 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: This hardware. | 00:58 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: And as to the BIOS, I haven't messed with the settings behind the boot order. | 00:59 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: And as to the BIOS, I haven't messed with the settings beyond the boot order. * | 00:59 |

| cuddylier | I got the process IDs and tried killing them but they said no process existed hmm | 01:26 |
| apb1963 | cuddylier: ps fp <pid> | 01:26 |
| cuddylier | 7161 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto python | 01:26 |
| cuddylier | E.g. that | 01:26 |
| cuddylier | Maybe that isn't an actual process? | 01:26 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: Did you run that command in a different terminal? | 01:27 |
| cuddylier | TJ- I ran it in the main screen | 01:27 |
| apb1963 | cuddylier: it's the process that runs grep... it's gone by the time you get the output | 01:27 |
| laspahr | dang, anyone know the site Nero gave me to look up? /: my computer shut off while I was gone | 01:27 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: But what input did you give grep? It is waiting for input by the look of it | 01:27 |
| cuddylier | ps ax | grep python | 01:28 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: I don't believe it worked. Suspend failed again. Is there anyway to double check I'm on the new kernel? | 01:28 |
| cuddylier | I'm trying to check for python processes to kill any if there is any | 01:28 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: "uname -r" | 01:28 |
| apb1963 | cuddylier: if that's all you get, then there are none | 01:28 |
| cuddylier | apb1963: Good thanks | 01:28 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Yup, I am. | 01:28 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: Ahhh ok, you're piping ps to grep... so grep will be terminated as soon as the command completes | 01:28 |
| cuddylier | makes sense | 01:29 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: so grep will almost always see itself ;0 | 01:29 |
| subcool | TJ-, !!!! - long time no talk. BUt ofcourse i got a Q. | 01:29 |
| subcool | Whats the real difference between portforwarding, and port triggering? | 01:30 |
| laspahr | any help? /: | 01:30 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: A few years ago I spent several weeks debugging the same issue on different hardware - 2 identical Vaio notebooks. 1 just developed this same issue... I never could pin it down, but it had to be some change on the mobo or in the BIOS NVRAM settings | 01:30 |
| TJ- | subcool: UhOh :p | 01:30 |
| subcool | lol.. been a long time man. | 01:30 |
| Apteryx | Hello! Anyone else has a compact Apple Wireless bluetooth keyboard here? It used to work, but I don't know if something is wrong with the latest kernel drivers, but the layout is completely screwed up now. | 01:30 |
| Foxhoundz | subcool: i know it's been a while how r u lol | 01:31 |
| TJ- | subcool: "forwarding" means a rule waiting for a connection. Triggering means when a connection hits, it triggers something else to happen | 01:31 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Oh well! It's not a big issue. | 01:31 |
| subcool | sup Foxhoundz - a lot actually. | 01:31 |
| kuby64 | like no other | 01:31 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Thanks for trying. I appreciate it. | 01:31 |
| subcool | TJ-, yea- still sounds the same to me. :/ | 01:31 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: you're welcome, I hate letting the systems win | 01:31 |
| subcool | thats why i was asking. its sounds the same to me. | 01:31 |
| Blindy | Hey guys, anyone else update their 12.04 HWE today? The workspace switcher seems to be running a bit laggy. | 01:32 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: We'll get them eventually. If you had to guess, when do you think my hard drive will kick it? | 01:32 |
| TJ- | subcool: Well, say you configure port-forwarding of port 143... any connection that arrives on port 143 gets forwarded | 01:32 |
| subcool | so maybe i can use that though. if i were to setup a trigger for port 10, it would act like 9? | 01:32 |
| laspahr | pls..? | 01:32 |
| TJ- | subcool: but for port-triggering, the connection might arrive on port 5469 which when detected triggers the opening of port 143, which then allows connections *only* from the client that triggered it | 01:33 |
| TJ- | zenkeku: I'd keep a close eye on those "smartctl --all /dev/sda" reports, and watch kern.log for I/O errors | 01:33 |
| zenkeku | TJ-: Will do! | 01:34 |
| subcool | oh- thats cool. | 01:34 |
| subcool | makes more sense. | 01:34 |
| subcool | so it would kinda be better to use triggers. | 01:35 |
| subcool | ok.. what about if - i have two computer behind a router that i need to respond from requests of WOL. but- the firewall only allows me to specify one. | 01:36 |
| TJ- | subcool: have the PC that is woken by the router, send a WOL packet to the other PC? | 01:38 |
| laspahr | plleeeaaaassseeeee..? | 01:41 |

| egradman1 | I thought I understood how this works, but apparently I do not. Why are there no packages for raring available at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ? | 01:44 |
| teward | egradman1, didn't raring to end of life? | 01:45 |
| teward | yep it idd | 01:45 |
| teward | did* | 01:45 |
| egradman1 | yes, but does that mean I'm no longer able to fetch packages for it? | 01:45 |
| ObrienDave | egradman1, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 01:46 |
| egradman1 | I can't even install update-manager-core to upgrade it! | 01:46 |
| egradman1 | thank you! | 01:46 |
| teward | egradman1, you will have to use the old-releases stuff, but don't expect any updates | 01:46 |
| teward | also... | 01:46 |
| egradman1 | I think first thing will be to upgrade to 13.10! | 01:46 |
| ObrienDave | you're on your own with those | 01:46 |
| TJ- | bkuberek_: the package "uwsgi-core" depends on libzmq3 which should install "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzmq.so.3" | 01:47 |
| Capprentice | What is the proper way to clean all logs residing in /var/log ?Should I run rm -rf /var/log/* ? | 01:47 |
| Jeffrey_f | bkuberek_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2194777 | 01:47 |
| Capprentice | ubottu|log | 01:48 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. | 01:48 |
| Capprentice | -_- ! | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Capprentice: no, you shouldn't delete the logs :) | 01:48 |
| subcool | TJ, yea.. i could do that. but -- thatd be a lot more difficult. Im remotely WOL my NAS and Computer. I use the computer to do the work locally until i have it completely setup so i can do it all from remote.. - i was just hoping u knew some kinda cheesy workaround for a crappy router. - its cool. :) thanks. for helping. | 01:49 |
| TJ- | Capprentice: The logs that logrotate has compressed ("/var/log/**.gz") are safe to delete though | 01:49 |
| TJ- | subcool: Unless you can 'hack' the router into sending to multiple MACs, I cannot think of another way to do it | 01:50 |
| teward | egradman1, might want to keep in mind 13.10 EOLs tomorrow according to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2014-June/000185.html | 01:50 |
| egradman1 | great timing :) | 01:50 |
| egradman1 | maybe I can just downgrade to 12.04 instead :) | 01:50 |
| egradman1 | easier upgrade path :) | 01:51 |
| subcool | yeah.. idk.. id upgrade the firmware if it wasnt our modem. | 01:51 |
| subcool | Ok- here is a hard one for you... but i know your great at this stuff so- youd find an answer in 5 mins compared to the 2 weeks ive been at it. | 01:51 |
| rww | !downgrade | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 01:51 |
| subcool | I have a FreeNAS box, with owncloud running. | 01:52 |
| Capprentice | Well Im getting errors while starting httpd ! one of the httpd error is, not being able to create logs !!! So I thought if I empty the log folder, all log files will be re-created and reinitialized?? ! Screenshot: http://imgur.com/P2KvZee | 01:52 |
| Capprentice | TJ-^ | 01:52 |
| TJ- | Capprentice: The problem with deleting all log files there is the rsylogd process, and others, have those files open, so if you delete them it causes many problems. Best thing is to only delete those that are not active (those ending in .gz) | 01:53 |
| subcool | TJ - and on it i setup owncloud, but just a basic setup. Uploaded files and was happy. then i tried to setup btsync and couchpotato - thus changing ownclouds source and destination directories for files to be stored. In that i setup some symlink (i asume). Now when i try to ssh into the machine, the only files i see- or the new symlink directory. I kinda "lost" the original files i uploaded. HOw might i go about finding them> or s | 01:54 |
| subcool | etting the source/destination directories back to default so i can get my files. | 01:54 |
| subcool | all the results im finding lead me to the Linux version of owncloud. which speak of var/www/owncloud- such i dont have. | 01:54 |
| apb1963 | subcool: I'm still thinking about your WOL issue.... is there any reason you couldn't just run etherwake? | 01:56 |
| TJ- | subcool: Check the configuration of each tool... if you are SSHing into the PC then by default you'll only see that user's home directory... if that contains a symlink to other locations that user doesn't have permissions for, then you won't see anything. Maybe just check the ownerships of the directories the shared files are in, make sure your user is in the same group(s) as own those directories | 01:56 |
| subcool | nah.. its not something like that.. | 01:57 |
| subcool | apb1963, etherwake? | 01:57 |
| subcool | TJ - i have full access to the users, | 01:57 |
| subcool | i think of it like this.. | 01:57 |
| subcool | say you create /mnt/stupid | 01:57 |
| TJ- | subcool: Well, you're the one that (re)configured it... if you don't know where the files are going... I can't help! | 01:57 |
| subcool | and then put files into stupid.. | 01:57 |
| subcool | thats the problem | 01:58 |
| subcool | it was a basic setup at first.. | 01:58 |
| subcool | so i dont know where the files wouldve gone before i chagned the source/destination. | 01:58 |
| subcool | as for my example. say you put file into /mnt/stupid - | 01:58 |
| TJ- | check what a basic owncloud install does, the docs should help you there | 01:59 |
| subcool | but then later did a nfs mount to that folder, the NEW stuff would be seen. whiel to other stuff is kinda .. just not seen. | 01:59 |
| apb1963 | subcool: etherwake xx:yy:zz:11:22:33 Where, xx:yy:zz:11:22:33 is remote servers mac address. | 01:59 |
| subcool | TJ, i have.. thats the problem. - :/ | 01:59 |

| subcool | ythign i look up is for a linux setup. for which the files would be on /var/www/owncloud. | 01:59 |

| cornell | Howdy... Got a Toshiba 1Tb external drive, plugged it in and nautilus opened up showing TOSHIBA EXT under Devices. I poked around in a terminal a bit and found /media/THOSHIBA\ EXT. For future reference, if I need to mount it myself, can I just mount /media/TOSHIBA\ EXT ? | 02:00 |
| Alison-need-help | hi | 02:00 |
| subcool | apb1963, my issue is the router- it only allows transmission to specific ip's.. not a range. | 02:01 |
| Alison-need-help | someone can help me? | 02:01 |
| subcool | and i cant have multple ip's with the same port | 02:01 |
| ObrienDave | !ask | Alison-need-help | 02:01 |
| ubottu | Alison-need-help: 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 | 02:01 |
| apb1963 | subcool: did you perhaps mount a filesystem on top of the files you uploaded? i.e. cp <files> /mnt/stupid and then mount /dev/sdx /mnt/stupid? If so, then your files would be UNDER /mnt/stupid. Umount it and perhaps your files are there? | 02:01 |
| cornell | Depends on what you ne... what ubottu said ;-) | 02:01 |

| subcool | apb1963, thats EXACTLY what im saying | 02:02 |
| Alison-need-help | ObrienDave: hi, my name is Alison and i do embroidery. and i'm try to install this program | 02:03 |
| BenMcLean | I have a live usb installation of ubuntu with persistence that i created with unetbootin | 02:03 |
| apb1963 | subcool: the idea of using etherwake would be to wake the one computer your router will wake, and then have that computer run etherwake - waking all the other devices you want to wake. | 02:03 |
| Alison-need-help | https://github.com/Embroidermodder/Embroidermodder | 02:03 |
| subcool | but its not a mount option- from what i understand. | 02:03 |
| subcool | apb1963, yeah thats what TJ said.. | 02:03 |
| bigcat | hello all, i wanted to bounce off some ideas with some of you ubuntu pros | 02:03 |
| BenMcLean | I can get the persistence by editing the command line option from the boot menu by pressing "e" and then adding "persistent" to the end of the command. | 02:03 |
| bigcat | is this the right place? | 02:03 |
| subcool | i can easily do that.. - im just trying to be a little more simplied, because id be doing all this from my phone until i can get this stupid NAS to work properly. | 02:03 |
| BenMcLean | But is there some way to get it to do that automatically without my editing it every boot? | 02:03 |
| subcool | (to include fixing this owncloud bs) | 02:03 |
| BenMcLean | shouldn't I be able to open something with notepad++ and add the word "persistent" to one line somewhere? | 02:04 |
| cornell | You're using Ubuntu, Alison-need-help? | 02:04 |
| BenMcLean | so i guess basically my question is, "where are the commands selected on the boot menu stored?" | 02:04 |
| subcool | TJ, apb1963 the this bringbs me back to the problem. idk how to unmount the new source/destination specifications. - if i knew what the default was,, id be able to reset it to that. and i cant just undo them. from what i know. | 02:05 |
| subcool | im a bit limited by my knowledge at this point. | 02:05 |
| TJ- | subcool: OK, if you've hidden directories under a mountpoint, then do "mount" to list all active mounts, and then either 1) "umount /mnt/stupid" or 2) identify the device that *contains* the mount directory (possibly the root file-system), and then mount the root file-system someplace else, such as "sudo mkdir /mnt/rootfs && sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu-rootfs /mnt/rootfs" then look in "/mnt/rootfs/mnt/stupid/" for the 'hidden' files | 02:05 |
| friendlyfascism | BenMcLean, So what is your end goal on having this setup? | 02:05 |
| apb1963 | subcool: well, he said "<TJ-> subcool: Unless you can 'hack' the router into sending to multiple MACs, I cannot think of another way to do it" and I'm simply standing on his shoulders by suggesting that you not hack the router, but instead run etherwake from the computer after it receives the first WOL . | 02:05 |
| apb1963 | packet. | 02:05 |
| ObrienDave | Alison-need-help, sorry, i don't know how to install it that way | 02:06 |
| cornell | Alison-need-help, the site says you can install with apt-get in Ubuntu. Open up a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) | 02:06 |
| cornell | And enter the command: sudo apt-get install git build-essential qt4-dev-tools libqt4-opengl-dev kdelibs5-dev valgrind | 02:06 |
| TJ- | apb1963: yeah, subcool was referring to: "Jul 17 02:38:57 <TJ-> subcool: have the PC that is woken by the router, send a WOL packet to the other PC?" | 02:07 |
| cornell | You'll be prompted for a password. | 02:07 |
| cornell | And that should be it. | 02:07 |
| apb1963 | subcool: so someone else has already done the job of hacking for you, you need merely install the program... and then trigger it to run. | 02:07 |
| laspahr | anyone please help me? :( my ubuntu 14.04 laptop won't go past boot animation after running 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-touch' and I think unity was uninstalled, but I don't know for sure.. all files are still on the computer... | 02:07 |
| bigcat | i have a machine running 64 bit ubuntu 14.04. i'd like to a) increase my knowledge of certain programming languages and b) learn new ones. | 02:07 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Run it as a text boot to see what happens. | 02:07 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: sorry, missed his comment there. But yes... so etherwake would be one tool to accomplish that suggestion. | 02:08 |
| bigcat | which leads me to vagrant that i've been playing with. | 02:08 |
| cornell | friendlyfascism? Isn't that a contradiction in terms ;-) | 02:08 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism how do I do that? /: | 02:08 |
| TJ- | apb1963: I think subcool is trying to avoid having to start 1 PC in order to start another :) | 02:08 |
| friendlyfascism | !text | laspahr | 02:08 |
| ubottu | laspahr: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 02:08 |

| apb1963 | TJ-: I guess I don't quite understand why he needs multiple WOL packets if he only wants to use one? | 02:11 |
| cornell | Alison-need-help, the apt-get doesn't do version 2? | 02:11 |
| subcool | apb1963, because im a half noob. | 02:11 |
| TJ- | apb1963: I think subcool wants the router to be able to wake any 1 of his PCs, but the router's WOL config only allows configuration to wake a single PC | 02:11 |
| cornell | friendlyfascism, whether the fascists are militaristic, big government or big business... it ain't friendly ;-) | 02:12 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism I thought it would help with my touchscreen, but I was wrong heh.. | 02:12 |

| friendlyfascism | laspahr, I think your broken, the text boot will show you where it stops. You will have to purge it most likely and reinstall unity if you think it was removed. | 02:14 |
| subcool | lol - apb1963 done that before.. | 02:14 |

| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Not doing anything is to vague, can you be more exacting? Is this just a ubuntu install? | 02:20 |
| subcool | TJ this is what i think matters. : | 02:20 |
| subcool | NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1 on /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1 (zfs, local, nfsv4acls) | 02:20 |
| subcool | devfs on /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1/dev (devfs, local, multilabel) | 02:20 |
| subcool | procfs on /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1/proc (procfs, local) | 02:20 |
| subcool | /mnt/NASstorage/Media on /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1/media/SubCool (nullfs, local) | 02:20 |
| === nina__ is now known as liubei | ||
| subcool | so first its made, then it puts my media folder onto it.. | 02:21 |
| laspahr | it''s literally not doing anything.. the power button comes on then nothing else... I'm trying to recover ubuntu, as I installed ubuntu-touch and now it wouldn't boot, now it's not even turning on... | 02:21 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Preface answer to others with their nick, you can tab complete nicks. | 02:21 |
| subcool | so i would umount /mnt/nasstoreage/ails/owncloud_1/mediasubcool right? | 02:21 |
| TJ- | subcool: so, you think that the first mount also has directories "...media/SubCool" and they've been hidden? | 02:22 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism what? | 02:22 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Is ubuntu the only OS, I asked this before, read questions carefully and answer if you can, this is free help. | 02:22 |
| subcool | this is why i was gonan pm you- so you, so i can post it all | 02:22 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism: ah nevermind... yes Ubuntu is the only bootable OS right now on computer | 02:22 |
| laspahr | well.. was bootable | 02:22 |
| TJ- | subcool: OK... find out: "sudo mkdir /mnt/test && sudo mount --bind /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1 /mnt/test" then "ls -latr /mnt/NASstorage/jails/owncloud_1/media/SubCool" | 02:23 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism: I had Win8.1 installed then I deleted the BCD for it and had to put ubuntu back on there, then this happened and now I'm stuck | 02:23 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Hit the power button and tap on the shift key repeatedly you should get the grub menu, if not report that to me. | 02:23 |
| laspahr | already tried that, and it failed, screen did nothing | 02:23 |
| subcool | this is too easy - - especially for you- so im sorry for taking mroe time. | 02:23 |
| subcool | i just dont wanna lose the files. i totally owe. you....... | 02:24 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Since you had W8.1 you have a uefi right? | 02:24 |
| laspahr | yes, but I can't get to it either | 02:24 |
| laspahr | esc, f10, f2, nothing works... | 02:24 |
| laspahr | except power button | 02:24 |
| cornell | Ok, thanks anyway everybody. Catch y'all later | 02:24 |
| cornell | TTFN | 02:24 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, So ubuntu booted after the install and all you have done is the ubuntu-touch install? | 02:25 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism: ubuntu didn't boot after ubuntu-touch install, it got stuck on boot screen, but the grub menu showed up still. | 02:25 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Can you tell I'm trying to get your sequence of events exactly? | 02:26 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism: yes, here is exactly as it went | 02:26 |
| laspahr | I installed ubuntu-touch using 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-touch' and it said it required me to install another program or something, the name escapes me, but I installed that then ubuntu-touch | 02:27 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, How about from the ubuntu install and what type, a efi for example, up to the ubuntu-touch install | 02:28 |
| laspahr | after that ubuntu opened grub and was able to select ubuntu, or recovery modes or whatever, but always stuck at boot screen. Now when I turn it on, it shows nothing for the USB or built in disk | 02:28 |
| laspahr | I used 14.04 LTS | 02:28 |
| laspahr | 64-bit | 02:28 |
| Capprentice | Is Cpanel available free of cost? Which one is better Webmin or Cpanel? | 02:29 |
| laspahr | umm.. efi I'm not sure.. | 02:29 |
| Capprentice | Which works bettr on Ubuntu? | 02:29 |
| apb1963 | Capprentice: be aware, there's also zpanel and probably others. webmin is for considerably more advanced users than cpanel. | 02:30 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, Okay trying to fix this will be longer than just reinstalling correctly, theoretically any OS is fixable, your choice, but this one I have little hope for. Boot the live and get out what is need if anything is there, if not read the uefi boot info next for a new install, be sure you are still uefi. | 02:31 |
| friendlyfascism | !uefi | laspahr | 02:31 |
| ubottu | laspahr: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:31 |
| BrandonC | hey all | 02:31 |
| laspahr | I don't think you understand. my laptop is doing NOTHING.. like absolutely NOTHING | 02:31 |
| laspahr | no way to boot into live usb or from the installed files on computer | 02:32 |
| BrandonC | its existing | 02:32 |
| friendlyfascism | laspahr, You stated that it would boot the live from a boot with the usb in a usb poart. | 02:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Does it power up? | 02:32 |
| friendlyfascism | port* | 02:32 |
| BrandonC | so when i recover with ubuntu it makes an image? | 02:33 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Can you enter the Firmware Setup menus? | 02:33 |
| friendlyfascism | BrandonC, No you have typ make an image | 02:33 |
| laspahr | friendlyfascism: yes I said it booted from the USB but then after said it's doing nothing whether the usb is plugged in or not... TJ- it powers up but the screen shows nothing. all black | 02:33 |
| falcon- | exit | 02:33 |
| laspahr | idek if backlight is on | 02:33 |
| BrandonC | is the image the same size of the hard drive? | 02:33 |
| * apb1963 feels a nomodeset coming on | 02:34 | |
| friendlyfascism | BrandonC, If you address another preface it with their nick. | 02:34 |

| TJ- | laspahr: I'm trying to determine if the system is even getting to the boot-loader.... when it powers up the screen should show some kind of manufacturer messages... is that correct? | 02:35 |
| BrandonC | im wondering if i need to have a hard drive that holds image same or larger than the one im recovering | 02:35 |
| laspahr | TJ-: I agree it should, but it does not | 02:35 |

| TJ- | laspahr: So, are we dealing with a hardware failure here? | 02:36 |
| TJ- | laspahr: what is the make/model? | 02:36 |
| friendlyfascism | apb1963, Do we need to involve the mods, you are not close to channel norms, this is support stick to that please. | 02:36 |
| apb1963 | friendlyfascism: I guess you're unfamiliar with nomodeset. | 02:36 |
| apb1963 | friendlyfascism: and apparently don't recognize it as a kernel option | 02:36 |
| q_ | hi | 02:37 |

| jY | not sure where to ask this question.. but I created a repo on s3.. and i have some binary-all packages and even though my Release file includes binary-all apt-get doesn't download the package list | 02:39 |
| awesomess3 | what games do you play on ubuntu? I use wine1.7 to run World of Warcraft and I play teeworlds, and I would play minetest (a minecraft clone) if guns worked against creatures. | 02:40 |
| laspahr | TJ-: it is an HP ENVY TouchSmart m6 Sleekbook m6-k025dx | 02:40 |
| TJ- | laspahr: thanks... looking now | 02:40 |
| BrandonC | friendlyfascism, i wana to use linux to recover stuff from hard drive.. was told linux has some rescue thing with image.. i need to know if my 80gig im recovering will be an image that fits on 40gig hard drive | 02:40 |
| BenMcLean | friendlyfascism, right now i'm just trying to make it easier to boot, because i expect to have to boot a bunch of times in the next 3-4 dyas | 02:40 |
| ObrienDave | BrandonC, no, it will not fit | 02:40 |
| BenMcLean | i want to add "persistent" to the command the boot menu selects for "try without installing" ubuntu | 02:41 |
| TJ- | laspahr: can you confirm this is it? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03892122&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5447323 | 02:41 |
| ObrienDave | BrandonC, the destination drive must be equal to or larger | 02:41 |
| BenMcLean | and i mean, add it so it stays, not need to type it each time | 02:41 |
| BrandonC | well that sux. the one i want to recover is my largest drive | 02:42 |
| Technodrome | i have no vhosts yet my serveralias are still catching | 02:42 |
| friendlyfascism | BrandonC, never heard of a rescue thing with an image. What is your definition of rescue first, next what is image to you? | 02:42 |
| TJ- | laspahr: So, when it powers up you do *not* see "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu" or a splash-screen graphic? | 02:43 |
| friendlyfascism | BenMcLean, You can make the live usb persistent when load it or use a casper-rw partition, which is done along with the loading of the iso. | 02:43 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Yes sir, that is the correct laptop as far as I can tell | 02:43 |
| laspahr | TJ-: and that's also correct | 02:43 |
| ObrienDave | BrandonC, normally an image is an exact copy. therefore it will not fit on a smaller drive | 02:43 |
| BrandonC | friendlyfascism, ddrescue | 02:44 |
| TJ- | laspahr: I'm looking in the Service & Maintenance guide for an emergency reset procedure | 02:44 |
| technickul | Would anyone why in Windows it shows my 1tb with a single partion and ubuntu shows 3 separate partitions? One partition is unallocated and the other two I think are ntfs. The reason I'm asking is because Ubuntu can't mount the drive. | 02:44 |
| wheatthin | ddrescue still only does bit by bit.. so it's gonna count every single bit used or not lol | 02:44 |
| laspahr | TJ-: If possible I don't want to reset the laptop.. I have some files on there I'd rather not lose | 02:45 |
| wheatthin | depending on the size of the image anywho | 02:45 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, the other 2 partitions are windows boot and system recovery. they do not show up in windows | 02:45 |
| friendlyfascism | BrandonC, Ah, you can use clonezilla and save it to a external the size of that data, but in packets, the place you reload to has to be equal or larger that the original partition or partitions. If it is just a partition you save your hd only has to be at least that big. | 02:45 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, this is not the boot drive this is just data | 02:46 |
| technickul | I have an SSD that I dual boot that works just fine and the other two HDD are just for data. Ubuntu has no problem with one of them, but the other it won't mount | 02:46 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, was it ever used as a primary drive? if so they are probably residual partitions | 02:46 |
| q_ | Files still appear in UBUNTU after it said that they have been deleted or not found but i go into search and search for wine it pops up saying wine files i from HOME i went to HIDDEN FOLDERS moved it to trash | 02:47 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, it might have. It's really weird because it says one of them is unallocated for 120 gb or something then another is like 400gb and then the rest is the other partition. | 02:47 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, do you know of any way to handle this without losing the data? | 02:47 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Does it have a removable battery? | 02:48 |
| laspahr | TJ-: No | 02:48 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, if you're sure, you can remove, resize and move the partitions with Gparted | 02:48 |
| oscarb92 | hello | 02:48 |
| laspahr | TJ-: at least it's not meant to be removed | 02:48 |
| q_ | back up your data on a memory stick and re install ubuntu | 02:49 |
| wheatthin | technickul, did you check to see if it has a good dos partitioning? | 02:49 |
| q_ | tech ourt it on a memory stick re install | 02:49 |
| technickul | ObrienDave hmm. The weird thing in windows it will only let me shrink it I think 10 or 20 gb when i have a lot more space left than that. | 02:49 |
| oscarb92 | anybody knows how to set hotkeys' default config on ubuntu 14.04 | 02:49 |
| oscarb92 | ? | 02:49 |
| === Guest5715 is now known as karstensrage | ||
| technickul | wheatthin, how do I check? | 02:49 |
| friendlyfascism | q_, YOU can tab complete nicks. | 02:49 |
| sydney | oscarb92: I dont think its possible :-/ | 02:50 |
| q_ | i know i ckick and go | 02:50 |
| super | delete ~/.wine | 02:50 |
| wheatthin | technickul, that's ntfs and I doubt ntfsprogs or ntfsutils handles compressing the files so you can resize | 02:50 |
| oscarb92 | sydney damn | 02:50 |
| === karstensrage is now known as Guest64872 | ||
| oscarb92 | :( | 02:50 |
| super | delete it from the /usr/share/..wine | 02:50 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, disk management in windows will not let you manipulate the partitions like Gparted | 02:50 |
| wheatthin | technickul, well fdisk won't read it | 02:50 |
| q_ | are you useing windows | 02:50 |
| TJ- | laspahr: ahh, I see the battery now in the exploded diagram... that's a pain... this kind of issue can sometimes be solved by removing the battery and holding down the power button to ensure all remaining charge is drained from components | 02:50 |
| oscarb92 | I fucked it up | 02:50 |
| wheatthin | that's one clue | 02:50 |
| technickul | wheatthin, I tried resezing in windows | 02:50 |
| wheatthin | language please | 02:50 |

| technickul | ObrienDave, I see | 02:50 |
| laspahr | TJ-: *sigh* | 02:51 |
| technickul | wheatthin, Yea fdisk has troubles. when I try to mount it says it exit code 12 | 02:51 |
| laspahr | TJ-: So any idea on a fix..? | 02:51 |
| apb1963 | BrandonC: Try http://redobackup.org, it's a frontend to Partimage, which purports to only copy data from the used portions of the partition... which is what it sounds like you're looking for. | 02:52 |
| apb1963 | BrandonC: I've not tried either program as of yet so I can't vouch. | 02:52 |
| super | laspahr, fix what? | 02:52 |
| technickul | Also when I did a chkdsk in windows it found something but I forgot to take a picture so I could remember and also mention unallocated space, but now it says no errors | 02:52 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, in windows you need something like partition magic to manipulate partitions | 02:52 |
| wheatthin | technickul, you can run fsck | 02:53 |
| TJ- | laspahr: I can't find anything, it seems as if the hardware (screen) has failed... when you power it up do any LEDs light up ? | 02:53 |
| wheatthin | sudo fsck.vfat -f -v /dev/sdb1 or whichever device it is | 02:53 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, alright I'll check that out | 02:53 |
| technickul | wheatthin, alright I"m not familiar with that. What does that do diagnotic info? | 02:53 |
| Geo | Hello again, my grub chronicles continue :) | 02:53 |
| wheatthin | it runs a fixdisk type thing | 02:54 |
| Geo | I swapped a HD into a new machine, and when I booted, I was dropped to a grub rescue prompt | 02:54 |
| wheatthin | for vfat partitions | 02:54 |
| Geo | error is "no such device: <<UUID>" | 02:54 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, you can also use http://gparted.org/livecd.php | 02:54 |
| friendlyfascism | !bootinfo | Geo | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Geo: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 02:54 |
| super | Geo, easy fix | 02:54 |
| laspahr | super: Installed ubuntu-touch on accident on 14.04 and it got stuck on boot animation, now it won't boot at all, w/ or w/o usb drive. TJ- the only LEDs that light up are one on the keyboard and one on the power button, then some on the sides to indicate charging or whatever heh.. | 02:54 |
| technickul | wheatthin, will it do anything with the data? | 02:54 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, I have an ubuntu live cd which I think has it? | 02:54 |
| laspahr | TJ-: so thinking that the screen just gave up? | 02:54 |
| wheatthin | if anything it'll recover if broken | 02:54 |
| wheatthin | like linux fsck does when you don't shutdown right | 02:55 |
| Geo | super: I'm on pins and needles | 02:55 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Run the bootscript and pastbin the text from it use a live dvd/usb to run it. | 02:56 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, if it does not mount ow, you might need a bootable system to access the drive like Gparted Live or Parted Magic | 02:56 |
| ObrienDave | *now | 02:56 |
| super | laspahr, the update broke your xserver I think | 02:56 |
| technickul | wheatthin, should I use .vfat even if it's an ntfs? | 02:56 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Have you tried holding the power button down for more than 5 seconds until all the LEDs switch off... leave it 30 seconds, then power-up again? | 02:56 |
| super | are you using nvidia or ati card? | 02:56 |
| wheatthin | hmm no.. | 02:56 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, yea it doesn't mount | 02:56 |
| TJ- | super: The BIOS boot screen isn't appearing at boot | 02:57 |
| laspahr | super: I didn't do an update..? | 02:57 |
| laspahr | TJ-: counting to 30 heh.... | 02:57 |
| Geo | super: do you have a solution that doesn't involve bootscript? | 02:57 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, do you have a torrent client? | 02:57 |
| wheatthin | technickul, check this out http://askubuntu.com/questions/86086/fsck-cant-find-fsck-ntfs | 02:57 |
| super | laspahr, change the grub argument and put nomodeset | 02:57 |
| * apb1963 looks up | 02:58 | |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Note people will say anything here. | 02:58 |
| TJ- | super: laspahr's PC *will not start* ... no screen display from power-on | 02:58 |
| laspahr | super: I can't get the computer to even turn on haha... | 02:58 |
| laspahr | well turn on, but screen doesn't work | 02:58 |
| q_ | who know about wine | 02:58 |
| super | Geo, you can't access your bios settings? | 02:58 |
| wheatthin | laspahr, does the power supply power up? and hd light flicker? | 02:58 |
| laspahr | the power supply works, the LED lights up. HDD light, Idk it was facing away from me | 02:59 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, no I haven't used that in a hwile | 02:59 |
| laspahr | let me check | 02:59 |
| HumbleCoder | Should i install 12.10 or 14.04 i want to build android | 02:59 |
| technickul | wheatthin, I will thakn you | 02:59 |
| Geo | uhh... this is grub, shouldn't have anything to do with bios? | 02:59 |
| friendlyfascism | HumbleCoder, Your choice not ours and any answer is subjective. | 02:59 |
| super | laspahr, are you on a laptop? | 02:59 |
| laspahr | super: yes | 02:59 |
| super | laspahr, Fn+Display | 03:00 |
| Geo | friendlyfascism: actually, got into the grub menu now already | 03:00 |
| laspahr | wheatthin: the HDD LED doesn't flicker /: | 03:00 |
| laspahr | super: what? | 03:00 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Can you boot to the desktop? | 03:00 |
| HumbleCoder | I mean i was trying to install android told and java it always says package not found | 03:00 |
| Geo | we'll see in a moment | 03:00 |
| super | laspahr, can you take a picture and upload it to picpaste.com? | 03:01 |
| super | be easier to see what you see | 03:01 |
| wheatthin | laspahr, Hmm.. do you have a bootable usb? I think an HD might have died or something and thus not going thru post Does it beep confirming it past post? or release multiple beeps? | 03:01 |
| friendlyfascism | super, You are not helping anyone and just getting in the middle of help and muddling things up. This is support meaning you have to be correct. | 03:02 |
| ArexR | I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.4 HWE LTS and it removed my AMD drivers | 03:02 |
| ArexR | I tried to reinstall fglrx-amdcccle-experimental-13 but it has unmet deps | 03:02 |
| laspahr | super: just a sec | 03:03 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, ok.. well then sudo apt-get --purge --install fglrx-updates | 03:03 |
| ArexR | ok | 03:03 |
| laspahr | wheatthin: bootable USB doesn't work... | 03:03 |
| truedon | hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu as a vm with vagrant and i get a 404 not found for every package it tries to get from archive.ubuntu.com every single time i do this - here is the output in paste bin… really need some advice http://pastebin.com/J8FJCzkm | 03:03 |
| wheatthin | laspahr, I think it's a bad hardware issue then.. | 03:03 |
| wheatthin | is it beeping alot with pc speaker? | 03:03 |
| friendlyfascism | truedon, raring is eol | 03:04 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: E: --install is not an understood command | 03:04 |
| ArexR | :P | 03:04 |
| laspahr | it's a 7 month old computer /: no beeping at all.. | 03:04 |
| truedon | friendlyfascism: right… i need to use it for my client any way to get this working? | 03:04 |
| wheatthin | sorry.. no dash's | 03:04 |
| ObrienDave | truedon, change 'archive' to 'old-releases' | 03:05 |
| friendlyfascism | truedon, Not supported here is all, you do not have repo access, it is a job you should have turned down. | 03:05 |
| TJ- | laspahr: According to the HP Support site, the emergency reset *should* be to hold the Power button for 8-10 seconds | 03:05 |
| Geo | friendlyfascism: doesnt seem to be booting, just a blinking cursor | 03:05 |
| truedon | ObrienDave: how do i do that, this is install via vagrant is doing it | 03:05 |
| laspahr | TJ-: hmmm... | 03:05 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Make sure everything is unplugged when you do that... especially the AC power charger | 03:05 |
| Geo | I may have chosen the wrong partition with set prefix/set root, but I don't tihnk so | 03:05 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: ok now it says fglrx-updates depends on xorg-video-abi-11 12 13 or 14 but it is not installable | 03:06 |
| ObrienDave | sorry, don't know a thing about vagrant | 03:06 |
| Geo | I didnt edit anything beyond that, just made a selection from the grub menu | 03:06 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Is this a dual boot, like say W8 at least sometime on this computer? | 03:06 |
| ArexR | E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 03:06 |
| Geo | nope | 03:06 |
| Geo | moved the HD from one computer to another, only ubuntu on it | 03:06 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, did you install fglrx from the amd site initially? | 03:06 |
| truedon | ObrienDave: i have a provisioning setup shell script that just asks for a apt-get the apt-get is using those urls. how can i switch it… is there a fixed image? | 03:06 |
| laspahr | TJ-: I'll do that if I can't get anything else to work | 03:06 |
| Geo | so Im surprised the UUID error popped up | 03:07 |
| ObrienDave | truedon, like an install ISO? | 03:07 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Can you boot to a live and run the bootscript it will take out the twenty questions and get to the heart of the issue most likely? | 03:07 |
| truedon | http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/raring/current/raring-server-cloudimg-i386-vagrant-disk1.box anyway to get a fixed on that can get the packages from apt-get | 03:07 |
| Geo | heh | 03:07 |
| Geo | but wheres the fun in that? | 03:07 |
| TJ- | laspahr: This reset won't upset whats on the disk... it is purely to give the motherboard a kick so it behaves itself | 03:07 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: no | 03:07 |
| truedon | ObrienDave: yeh i mean i just used this image (it was provided to me by the clients old sys admin) and he said to run that.. but all the apt-get fails an i cannot get any packages | 03:07 |
| laspahr | TJ-: ah, okay.. | 03:07 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, how about updated xorg via ppa? | 03:08 |
| laspahr | TJ-: IT WORKED | 03:08 |
| wheatthin | :) | 03:08 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Preface answers to others with their nick, personally I'm not here for fun but to give free help that does not take hours, so others can be helped, it is free help here. | 03:08 |
| TJ- | laspahr: thank &^)&)! for that ;) | 03:08 |
| laspahr | okay I'm in grub, now what | 03:09 |
| TJ- | laspahr: I've forgotten what the Ubuntu issue was :D | 03:09 |
| laspahr | Stuck at Boot screen | 03:09 |
| laspahr | unless it decides it wants to work now | 03:10 |
| friendlyfascism | TJ-, Installed ubuntu-touch was one | 03:10 |
| BrandonC | will ubuntu see my windows partition drives? | 03:10 |
| TJ- | laspahr: ahhh yes, the recommendation was to edit the GRUB kernel command-line to add "text" so it doesn't try to start into GUI | 03:11 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: how? | 03:11 |
| super | laspahr, linux/vmlinuz-3.13.0-30-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash $vt_handoff | 03:11 |
| laspahr | TJ-: How do I do that? | 03:11 |
| friendlyfascism | Geo, Anyway I have other things to do, had you just run the script we might of had this fixed already best of luck. | 03:11 |
| super | look for this line and edit delete quiet splash and put nomodeset | 03:11 |
| laspahr | super: wut? | 03:11 |
| super | laspahr, you say you are looking at the grub screen right? | 03:11 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Hold down Shift at boot to get into the Grub menu, highlight the Ubuntu entry, press 'e', navigate to the line beginning "linux ..." | 03:11 |
| ObrienDave | truedon, sorry, i have no clue about vagrant, i just know you need to edit the sources list to point to old-releases | 03:11 |
| laspahr | okay~ | 03:12 |
| truedon | ObrienDave: ok thanks man i am trying with trusty now as its not eol | 03:12 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Then, navigate to the end of the line and add " text" to it. You might want to also remove "quiet splash" and add "debug " for this boot, so you get to see maximum information in case it has a problem. | 03:12 |
| ObrienDave | truedon, you can still get the old releases in an ISO file | 03:12 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, no, it was a question bro.. did you.. or was it a clean install and something went wrong? | 03:13 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Then, once you've altered the "linux ..." line, press Ctrl+X to eXecute that kernel | 03:13 |
| laspahr | okay, I see it, what do I type, just after $vt_handoff type 'text' ? | 03:14 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Yes ... separate each entry with a space of course | 03:14 |
| super | TJ-, what about adding nomodeset? | 03:14 |
| laspahr | so '$vt_handoff text' ? | 03:14 |
| TJ- | super: might help... belt and braces ... laspahr also add "nomodeset " :) | 03:14 |
| laspahr | so '$vt_handoff text nomodeset' ? | 03:15 |
| TJ- | laspahr: remove "quiet splash" and add "text nomodeset" | 03:15 |
| * apb1963 blinks | 03:15 | |
| TJ- | laspahr: :) you've got the idea | 03:15 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: no I didn't install xorg from ppa | 03:15 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Okay, then ctrl+x | 03:15 |
| ArexR | atleast... not that I know of | 03:15 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Correct :) | 03:15 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: how to check? | 03:15 |

| Geo | friendlyfascism: no need to be a dick about being a dick. | 03:15 |
| rnat | where is the chat logs maintained | 03:16 |
| technickul | wheatthin and ObrienDave I'm back in ubuntu now and this is what fdisk -l says "This doesn't look like a partition table | 03:16 |
| technickul | Probably you selected the wrong device." | 03:16 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Just confirming.... 'ro text nomodeset $vt_handoff' ? | 03:16 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: BTW, I started up the computer today, it asked if I wanted to install HWE, I said yes and it crashed in the middle of updating | 03:16 |
| ArexR | well... hung actually | 03:17 |
| super | laspahr, no "text" don't think you need to add that in there | 03:17 |
| ArexR | hung for 4 hours and keyboard/ mouse was unresponsive, wheatthin | 03:17 |
| TJ- | laspahr: correct... the order doesn't matter ... "text" *is* required | 03:17 |
| ArexR | so I had to force shutdown | 03:17 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, try to reinstall HWE with --purge appended | 03:17 |
| laspahr | TJ-: okay, hope you're right lol | 03:17 |
| laspahr | I'm putting my faith in you xD | 03:17 |
| ArexR | how to reinstall HWE? wheatthin | 03:17 |
| TJ- | laspahr: I have been so far :p | 03:17 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, in the console? don't you still get one? | 03:18 |
| laspahr | alright, screen went black after hitting Ctrl+X.. backlights still on tho | 03:18 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: yes in the console, video is messed up | 03:18 |
| ArexR | what is HWE's package name? | 03:18 |
| ArexR | :P | 03:18 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, is there anything ultra critical on that drive that you cant lose? | 03:18 |
| wheatthin | I dunno, you installed it. | 03:18 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: no, the gui installed it | 03:18 |
| TJ- | laspahr: At this point GRUB should be loading the kernel and initial ram disk image... you should see kernel boot messages scrolling by quite fast | 03:19 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Nope.. just black screen... | 03:19 |
| super | laspahr, hmmm normally you would see like a matrix screen scrolling rapidly down | 03:19 |
| ArexR | it asked "do you want to upgrade to HWE? your system will be upgraded to point release" | 03:19 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: ^ | 03:19 |
| TJ- | laspahr: That, or, GRUB will throw an error report an possibly return to the menu | 03:19 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, unfortunately yes otherwise I would just format it. I have all my data on there | 03:19 |
| laspahr | So restart computer and try again..? | 03:19 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: so how do I reinstall that from a CLI? | 03:19 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, any backup available? | 03:19 |
| ArexR | laspahr: I have no GUI, how do I try again? :P | 03:20 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, well if you knew the package name sudo apt-get reinstall --purge <packagename> | 03:20 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Yes... this time, get into the GRUB boot menu, choose "Advanced" and then use one of the pre-formed "Recovery" menu items | 03:20 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: RIGHT | 03:20 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, I should probably back it up to my external | 03:20 |
| ObrienDave | do that if you can | 03:20 |
| wheatthin | right, so yeah.. maybe look up the package name, cause I don't see any package named HWE | 03:20 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, it's a recently built computer because my old one died | 03:20 |
| ArexR | but I have no idea what HWE is | 03:20 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, my old computer had backups I haven't set up backups yet | 03:21 |
| wheatthin | me either. go figure. lol maybe google search it. | 03:21 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: it was more like a bunch of packages | 03:21 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: not just one | 03:21 |
| laspahr | dangit I hit enter once too many... | 03:21 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: HWE Hardware Enablement Stack | 03:21 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, i mean do you have a backup of this drive? | 03:21 |
| super | haha | 03:21 |
| TJ- | ArexR: HardWare Enablement stack | 03:21 |
| truedon | What is the command to set apt-get to use old-releases and not archive for EOL ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| ArexR | TJ-: Yeah, it hung and I had to do a hard shutdown | 03:22 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, I did when my old computer was running it would auto back it up just not any more | 03:22 |
| ArexR | TJ-: so, how to reinstall it? | 03:22 |
| wheatthin | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL | 03:22 |
| wheatthin | what release are you on ArexR ? | 03:22 |
| rnat | where is the chat logs maintained | 03:22 |

| TJ- | truedon: "sudo sed -i 's,http://.*.ubuntu.com,http://old-releases.ubuntu.com,' /etc/apt/sources.list" | 03:23 |
| laspahr | TJ-: okay.. so I have '/...... *blah blah*... ro (two spaces) quiet splash $vt_handoff" | 03:23 |
| rww | truedon: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change the hostname on its existing entries | 03:23 |
| truedon | TJ-: thanks mate, i need to run this during a provisioning script in shell i hope the sudo -i is available then | 03:23 |
| truedon | rww: it must be done by a script thats running from vagrant, can that be done? | 03:23 |
| wheatthin | ArexR, my suggestion would be to update the release | 03:23 |
| TJ- | laspahr: OK... instead of editing that line, press Escape to return to the menu... then choose "Advanced" sub-menu, then choose the "Recovery" option | 03:23 |
| rww | truedon: never mind, go with what TJ- said | 03:23 |
| truedon | rww: big thank u | 03:24 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, i want to suggest something but hesitate if you have no current backup of this drive | 03:24 |
| TJ- | truedon: if the script runs as root you don't need the "sudo" | 03:24 |
| laspahr | TJ-: and I need to have '/...... *blah blah*... ro (two spaces) text nomodeset $vt_handoff" | 03:24 |
| super | TJ-, you are the man very helpful | 03:24 |
| laspahr | TJ-: I am on a recovery option... | 03:24 |
| truedon | TJ-: ok mate.. I'm unsure who it runs as actually so i'll try both - cross them fingers n hit enter n hope | 03:24 |
| laspahr | wait maybe not.. | 03:24 |
| TJ- | laspahr: If you're using the "Recovery" option then you don't need to edit it at all, it's pre-built for what we need | 03:24 |
| laspahr | okay... going with the first recovery option then! | 03:25 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, what do you suggest I'll write it down for when I do ahve a backup | 03:25 |
| TJ- | truedon: If you use "sudo" unless the user has NOPASSWD permissions it'd wait for a password to be typed | 03:25 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Now I see Matrix-type text, and am now in recovery menu... | 03:25 |
| laspahr | TJ-: Now what? | 03:25 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, chkdsk <drive>: /x | 03:26 |
| truedon | TJ-: yeh man … gonna have to wait n see how vagrant handles it - big thank u satta massagana ubuntu | 03:26 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Yay! OK, I can't remember the exact options in that menu, but what you want is network enabled and then a root shell prompt | 03:26 |
| laspahr | I have resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, fsck, grub, network, root, and system-summary | 03:27 |
| TJ- | laspahr: do "network" then "root" | 03:27 |
| TJ- | laspahr: that'll put you at a shell prompt... once you have that check for good network connectivity... it might not have any if the WiFi is the only option | 03:27 |
| laspahr | TJ-: alright, looks like it's working..... hopefully it doesn't take too long heh | 03:28 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, is that a windows or linux command | 03:28 |
| ObrienDave | windows | 03:28 |
| technickul | I've ran a chkdsk -r I believe | 03:28 |
| super | TJ-, can't he manually connect to his wifi using ifconfig? | 03:28 |
| technickul | What does the x parameter do? | 03:28 |
| TJ- | laspahr: You can check using "ping 8.8.8.8" (one of Google's DNS servers) | 03:28 |
| josepedro | hola como estan amigos | 03:28 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, /x closes all open handles to the drive and implies /f | 03:29 |
| TJ- | super: No... needs to use wpa_supplicant as well | 03:29 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: 12.04.4 | 03:29 |
| truedon | TJ-: here's what i get now http://bpaste.net/show/Cmgtjebiqa3XRvTQe0Ze/ | 03:29 |
| laspahr | TJ-: stuck on network-manager starting/running, process 924 | 03:29 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, why is that command risky? I understand it will unmount it from windows so ti can do it's thing, but why is it risky? | 03:29 |
| ArexR | wheatthin: the computer hung in the middle of upgrading from 12.04 to 12.04.4 | 03:29 |
| josepedro | alguien que sepa hablar español | 03:29 |
| ArexR | josepedro: well I understand spanish | 03:30 |
| ArexR | but I cant speak spanish | 03:30 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, i had chkdsk eat a 3TB drive 2 weeks ago, not sure exactly what went wrong | 03:30 |
| laspahr | TJ-: not doing anything right now.. just stuck on the black part of the screen with that text... | 03:31 |
| TJ- | truedon: check the content of "/etc/apt/sources.list" - also, ensure after that edit is made the system does a "apt-get update" too | 03:31 |
| sydney | ObrienDave: eat? | 03:31 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, dang :/. I already ran a chkdsk /f and it want fine | 03:31 |
| ObrienDave | destroy all data | 03:31 |
| TJ- | laspahr: OK... press any key, or the Escape key... you may get back to the menu, or you may have to wait for it to time out | 03:31 |
| truedon | TJ-: just added the apt-get update nice one we are thinking the same.. i can't really check it other then the output that vagrant makes | 03:31 |
| truedon | looks like its working tho!! | 03:31 |
| ObrienDave | ok, if /f worked, then /x will work | 03:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Do you have a network patch cable you can connect the PC to a router with? | 03:32 |
| laspahr | hit esc, exit, any key... | 03:32 |
| laspahr | nothing.. | 03:32 |
| laspahr | an Ethernet cable work? | 03:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Saves having to mess about with trying to configure WiFi manually | 03:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Yes, an Ethernet patch cable :) | 03:32 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, yea I agree | 03:32 |
| laspahr | okay, will get that connected... | 03:32 |
| ObrienDave | sydney, destroy all data | 03:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr: right now, starting network is looking for an Ethernet interface to respond | 03:33 |
| sydney | ObrienDave: eww | 03:33 |
| laspahr | TJ-: just went back to recovery menu.. | 03:33 |
| laspahr | haven't hooked up Ethernet tho | 03:33 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, Should I try fsk for ntfs first or would chkdsk be better? | 03:33 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Good. timeout. So, hook it up then try "network" again | 03:33 |
| ObrienDave | sydney, fortunately it is strictly a backup drive | 03:33 |
| truedon | TJ-: yo tj i owe u big time, anytime ur in south east asia give me a shout BIG LOVE BRO | 03:33 |
| super | truedon, which part of SE? | 03:34 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, i would think the windows chkdsk would be slightly safer, no guarantees though, sorry | 03:34 |
| TJ- | truedon: sure thing... I pop over there for a beer often :D | 03:34 |
| sydney | ObrienDave: and you can reformat it and reuse it,right? | 03:34 |
| ObrienDave | sydney, already done ;P | 03:35 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, right I understand just looking for advice | 03:35 |
| laspahr_ | Shoot, TJ-? | 03:35 |
| TJ- | laspahr: ? | 03:36 |
| truedon | TJ-: ok hold the link an maybe we can hang out on the beach with some good vibes | 03:36 |
| ObrienDave | technickul, before you do anything, get a backup to another drive, please | 03:36 |
| laspahr_ | Wi-Fi goes off when Ethernet is connected | 03:36 |
| super | ObrienDave, do you share yout 3TB drive with your windows machine? | 03:36 |
| technickul | ObrienDave, alright thanks | 03:36 |
| TJ- | laspahr: off where? | 03:36 |
| laspahr_ | Offline | 03:37 |
| laspahr_ | Stops working | 03:37 |
| ObrienDave | super, yes, it's formatted NTFS | 03:37 |
| TJ- | laspahr: for the HP? or for your home network? | 03:37 |
| laspahr_ | Home network. | 03:37 |
| TJ- | laspahr: What router do you have!? | 03:37 |
| laspahr_ | Wi-Fi router becomes paperweight until reconnected to modern | 03:37 |
| laspahr_ | Modem | 03:37 |
| === skasturi is now known as skasturi|away | ||
| super | ObrienDave, did you have to convert it to GPT since you have 3TB drive? | 03:38 |
| laspahr_ | I hook Ethernet straight to modem, faster | 03:38 |
| TJ- | laspahr: Are you sure you're not connecting the Ethernet cable into the router's WAN port rather than one of its LAN switch ports? | 03:38 |
| ObrienDave | super, yes i did | 03:38 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Well that explains it... you can't do that! You need to be into the router... that is what gives out addresses, routes packets, etc | 03:38 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- I'm positive i know what i connected.. Lol.. Anyway what blue? | 03:38 |
| ObrienDave | super, MBR will only work up to 2TB | 03:39 |
| laspahr_ | What the? | 03:39 |
| laspahr_ | What next, I'm on root | 03:39 |
| super | laspahr_, apt-get update | 03:39 |
| super | laspahr_, apt-get install update | 03:39 |
| ObrienDave | super, maybe 2.2TB max iirc | 03:39 |
| super | ObrienDave, I have everything running on Linux at my house I never had to do any fixing for any of them | 03:40 |
| ObrienDave | way cool | 03:40 |
| laspahr_ | Super can't locate package update | 03:41 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Is the network connected? | 03:42 |
| super | laspahr_, ifconfig what does it say? | 03:42 |
| laspahr_ | Yes, TJ- it's a modem and router Lol.. | 03:42 |
| sebastian | .. | 03:42 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: but does the HP have a connection now? at the recovery menu you started the "network" ? | 03:43 |
| laspahr_ | Super eth0, lo, or wlan0? | 03:43 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- yes | 03:43 |
| ObrienDave | super> laspahr_, apt-get install update **what command is this**??? | 03:43 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "ip addr show eth0" should show an "inet" (IPv4) address | 03:44 |
| BrandonC | can i recover hard drive and make image on a remot server? | 03:44 |
| BrandonC | its my largest harddrive | 03:44 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: It may even me an IPv6 address, if your network is IPv6 | 03:44 |
| laspahr_ | Gives both | 03:45 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: test connectivity with "ping -c 5 8.8.8.8" | 03:45 |
| laspahr_ | Yes, it works | 03:45 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: lets see if you also have IPv6: "ping6 -c 5 2001:4860:4860::8888" | 03:45 |
| meganerd | the fe80: address is just link local and does not really matter | 03:46 |
| furkan | can anybody here with Ubuntu 14.04 + an AMD graphics card with fglrx do a quick test for me? literally will take you less than 5 seconds... Can you just hit print screen and tell me if it lags like crazy when taking a screenshot? | 03:46 |
| meganerd | or ping6 ipv6.google.com | 03:46 |
| wheatthin | furkan, nope no lag | 03:46 |
| laspahr_ | Unknown host | 03:46 |
| TJ- | meganerd: We're avoiding the complications of a resolver for now, that is the next test | 03:46 |
| furkan | thanks wheatthin what graphics card are you using? (R7 260X 2GB here) | 03:47 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK... you have IPv4 so that's good... shouldn't be any weirdness over lookups | 03:47 |
| wheatthin | furkan, did you run sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial | 03:47 |
| wheatthin | after installing graphics drivers? | 03:47 |
| laspahr_ | Tried ping6 ipv6.google.com | 03:47 |
| furkan | i did sudo aticonfig --initial | 03:47 |
| furkan | but not --adapter=all | 03:47 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Now test DNS resolution... "ping -c 5 google-public-dns-a.google.com" | 03:47 |
| laspahr_ | Still says PING .... | 03:47 |
| furkan | i should show you a video of what happens to me | 03:48 |
| furkan | to my computer rather | 03:48 |
| wheatthin | followed by a reboot? cause after I did that, my graphics is smooth as heck | 03:48 |
| furkan | ya followed by a reboot | 03:48 |
| furkan | by many reboots haha | 03:48 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: You can break out of a hanging ping with Ctrl+C | 03:48 |
| super | laspahr_, you are not connected | 03:48 |
| furkan | took a video and will upload it to dropbox now | 03:48 |
| wheatthin | which graphics adapter do you have? | 03:48 |

| === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away | ||
| furkan | wheatthin: you're gonna get a kick out of this video once it's done uploading | 03:49 |
| laspahr_ | Done | 03:49 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: You got responses? | 03:49 |
| meganerd | laspahr_: ip -6 route should have a default entry for your IPv6 gateway, ip -6 addr should list two IPv6 addresses (one that starts with fe80 and another one) | 03:50 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Good - you have full IPv4 connectivity then | 03:50 |
| super | furkan, once you get that can up and running you will be able to run steam | 03:50 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, lets move on | 03:50 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- 5 transmitted 5 received | 03:50 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "apt-get update" | 03:50 |
| wheatthin | furkan, I have an ati 5450.. runs pretty smooth for a cheaper card | 03:50 |
| laspahr_ | Ugh hope this doesn't kill my data /: | 03:51 |
| laspahr_ | Okay next? | 03:51 |
| furkan | wheatthin: i'm convinced that Ubuntu 14.04 has some serious CPU usage problems, i get 40% usage just by moving a Nautilus window around | 03:51 |
| wheatthin | furkan, I'm thinking that's related to compiz | 03:51 |
| furkan | wheatthin: i suspected that too, until i installed xfce and got 50% cpu usage for moving a Thunar window around | 03:52 |
| furkan | it was just Xorg, no compiz | 03:52 |
| super | furkan, you just need to get the video card up and running once you fix that problem you will not see cpu usage that high | 03:52 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- next? | 03:52 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "dpkg --get-selections | pastebinit" and tell me the URL | 03:52 |
| wheatthin | furkan, did you try installing the fglrx drivers? | 03:52 |
| furkan | i did | 03:52 |
| furkan | the latest beta even | 03:52 |
| wheatthin | reinsta* | 03:52 |
| furkan | catalyst control centre works fine too | 03:52 |
| furkan | i'm running tear-free desktop | 03:52 |
| wheatthin | yeah mine was showing artifacts before I did the aticonfig thingy | 03:53 |
| wheatthin | dkms was uninstalled, and everything started working just fine | 03:53 |
| furkan | here, this should entertain you guys: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m9uldz7sz3a917k/VID_20140716_234110.mp4 | 03:53 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- dpkg error unknown option -g | 03:53 |
| furkan | Intel Graphics 4000 vs Radeon R7 260X lol | 03:53 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "dpkg --get-selections | pastebinit" | 03:53 |
| furkan | insane lag on my desktop, no lag on laptop | 03:54 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: That is *two* minus signs | 03:54 |
| laspahr_ | Ah, forgot the second | 03:54 |
| wheatthin | furkan, print screen seems to be working fine there | 03:54 |
| wheatthin | it's meant to flash the screen while doing it | 03:54 |
| furkan | wheatthin: but notice how smooth it is on the laptop? | 03:54 |
| laspahr_ | Http://paste.ubuntu.com/7807019 | 03:54 |
| furkan | wheatthin: it's just one symptom out of many, i'm getting horrible performance in general on that desktop | 03:55 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Did you originally have "ubuntu-desktop" installed? That is what you want returning, isn't it? | 03:55 |
| wheatthin | furkan, how's the temps on it? | 03:55 |
| furkan | let me check | 03:56 |
| laspahr_ | Umm yes i believe so.. Ubuntu desktop 64bit i think | 03:56 |
| Nickd55345353 | hello guys when i start my ubuntu it says system program problem was detected | 03:56 |
| furkan | wheatthin: 45 degrees | 03:56 |
| wheatthin | pretty cool | 03:56 |
| laspahr_ | I just wanna be able to boot into Ubuntu that i installed and has all my files and such.. | 03:56 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, one last thing before we start the repair. "pastebinit /var/log/apt/history.log" | 03:56 |
| wheatthin | furkan, does fglrxinfo give you all the proper stuff? | 03:57 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Yep, give me the URL from that pastebin so I can check what was removed, just to confirm what I've deduced | 03:57 |
| laspahr_ | 7807032 | 03:57 |
| furkan | wheatthin: looks correct to me | 03:57 |
| ObrienDave | laspahr_, the whole URL :)) | 03:57 |
| wheatthin | furkan, then Id still point to compiz.. cause compiz was killing my setup too | 03:58 |
| Nickd55345353 | modem manager error? | 03:58 |
| wheatthin | in ccsm do you have the refresh rate set manually? | 03:58 |
| laspahr_ | Http://paste.ubuntu.com/7807032 | 03:58 |
| laspahr_ | Better? | 03:58 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: I got it the first time :) | 03:59 |
| laspahr_ | Okay Lol.. | 03:59 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-touch" | 03:59 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Then "apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop" | 03:59 |
| wheatthin | furkan, and I'm on a dual quad xeon with the ati card. lol.. | 03:59 |
| super | TJ-, so he broke his ubuntu by trying to installed cinnamon desktop | 04:00 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Then "apt-get autoremove" | 04:00 |
| TJ- | super: No... ubuntu-touch :) | 04:00 |
| furkan | wheatthin: that's really what i thought too, but it happens even with xfce, which doesn't use compiz | 04:01 |
| laspahr_ | That will make things how they were before i installed Ubuntu touch? | 04:01 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: We'll be getting there, yes... more checks to do once these operations are complete | 04:01 |
| wheatthin | furkan, can I see a pastebin of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 04:01 |
| laspahr_ | Okay.. Time remaining? /: | 04:01 |
| laspahr_ | It's midnight here.. | 04:02 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: It's 05:02 here ... about 10 minutes | 04:02 |
| laspahr_ | Awesome | 04:02 |
| furkan | wheatthin: here it is http://pastebin.com/NS3MCvdC | 04:03 |
| laspahr_ | Okey, after auto remove? | 04:03 |
| TJ- | After those commands, show me "lspci -nnvk | pastebinit" | 04:03 |
| laspahr_ | Http://paste.Ubuntu.com/7807062 | 04:04 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: good - no proprietary VGA driver to check on | 04:04 |
| PersonX | . | 04:04 |
| furkan | super: man, been there done that RE: breaking my ubuntu install with cinnamon | 04:05 |
| laspahr_ | Nope, no vga on here heh.. Good and bad | 04:05 |
| laspahr_ | Next? | 04:05 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: now let's check that your regular user account isn't prevented from starting the GUI: "ls -al /home/*/.Xauthority | pastebinit" | 04:05 |
| super | furkan, thats what happened to laspahr_ | 04:06 |
| wheatthin | furkan, that looks fine.. hmm | 04:06 |
| laspahr_ | Super no it's not Lol | 04:07 |
| laspahr_ | Http://paste.Ubuntu.com/7807067 | 04:08 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: and follow that up with "grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | pastebinit" | 04:08 |
| furkan | wheatthin: good chance that i'm just gonna go back to 12.04 because of this | 04:08 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: note the space inside the single-quotes, after "deb" | 04:08 |
| super | furkan, no need to go back to 12.04 | 04:09 |
| furkan | super: can't stand the high CPU usage + lag | 04:09 |
| super | furkan, try installing proprietary driver you will see a faster performance | 04:09 |
| laspahr_ | Http://paste.Ubuntu.com/7807071 | 04:10 |
| furkan | honestly i've been doing that for a couple of weeks now | 04:10 |
| furkan | i tried the fglrx package, fglrx-updates package, radeonsi, changing to the mainline 3.16rc5 kernel, and now i'm running the Catalyst 14.6 beta straight from AMD's site | 04:10 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, now I think we need to remove all the cinnamon packages and then the entry in apt's sources for it | 04:11 |
| === Power_OFF is now known as PowerKiller | ||
| laspahr_ | Cinnamon? I don't use that haha... | 04:12 |
| super | furkan, don't give up yet | 04:12 |
| laspahr_ | It's probably installed from trying it to | 04:12 |
| laspahr_ | Tho | 04:12 |
| laspahr_ | So what next? | 04:13 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "apt-get --purge remove cinnamon cinnamon-{bluetooth,common,control-center,control-center-data,desktop-data,screensaver,session,session-common,settings-daemon,translations}" | 04:13 |
| super | TJ-, what about using *cinnamon* | 04:14 |
| TJ- | super: I was punishing laspahr_ for installing a nightly PPA :D | 04:14 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: You can also do "apt-get --purge remove 'cinnamon*' " | 04:15 |
| laspahr_ | I think it's doing it.. | 04:16 |
| PersonX | . | 04:16 |
| laspahr_ | Done, next | 04:17 |
| super | laspahr_, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:18 |
| super | cinnamon might remove some dependencies | 04:18 |
| laspahr_ | Already did that..? | 04:18 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, lets delete that PPA entry: "rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*cinnamon-nightly-trusty.list" | 04:18 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: after that, update the package lists with "apt-get update" | 04:19 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: then do "apt-get -f install" in case there are any broken dependencies | 04:19 |
| super | laspahr_, told you | 04:19 |
| TJ- | super: There aren't any reported, I'm just being cautious so we don't have to return to this later | 04:20 |
| laspahr_ | Super, you did tell me so.. Heh | 04:20 |
| laspahr_ | Running autoremove again | 04:21 |
| PersonX | . | 04:21 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: You've got several other PPAs there I don't like the look of, but its up to you whether you keep them later once the GUI is back working. Personally, I'd be very selective about what I allowed to be installed from PPAs | 04:21 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Those PPAs are the root of the problem | 04:22 |
| laspahr_ | Okay, so remove them once i get back on? | 04:22 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: At least review which you *really* need.... and if you decide to remove one, ensure you *first* remove any packages installed from it! | 04:23 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: else you'll be in another mess :) | 04:23 |
| super | Microsoft expected to announce thousands of job cuts on Thursday | 04:23 |
| laspahr_ | I'll just keep them then... Heh | 04:23 |
| laspahr_ | Next step..? | 04:23 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK ... now for the acid test... lets see if we can kick you into the GUI... if this fails you may need to a do a normal reboot/start | 04:23 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: "telinit 2" | 04:24 |
| super | oh on ubuntu its telinit | 04:24 |
| laspahr_ | Acpid: waiting for events: event logging is off | 04:25 |
| laspahr_ | Flashing cursor underneath | 04:26 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK ... any sign of disk LED flashing? | 04:26 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: that might indicate it's firing up all the services | 04:26 |
| laspahr_ | Don't see flashing | 04:26 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, lets see if the other VTs have been started: Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 ... do you get a "login: " prompt? | 04:27 |
| laspahr_ | White cursor in top left corner flashing | 04:27 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK, it hasn't kicked over correctly. Try to reboot with Alt+SysRq+S (that syncs the disk) then Alt+SysRq+B (reboot) | 04:28 |
| laspahr_ | SysRq=? | 04:29 |
| super | TJ-, :) hahaha | 04:29 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: usually it is on the PrintScrn key | 04:29 |
| laspahr_ | Prt sc? | 04:29 |
| super | right on top of your Insert,Home,PageUp keys | 04:30 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: you may have to also hold down a special 'function' key with it, if it is coloured that way (on my keyboard some functions in Blue need the function key holding down too) | 04:30 |
| super | next to F12 key | 04:30 |
| laspahr_ | Yep, it just shut off | 04:30 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Here, 'function' key has the "Fn" marking | 04:30 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: OK ... it should reboot itself, if not, press the power button ... and lets hope | 04:31 |
| laspahr_ | And restarted... I'm in Windows boot manager tho | 04:31 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Windows?! | 04:31 |
| laspahr_ | I know where i need to go tho | 04:31 |
| laspahr_ | Yeah cuz windows is on there just can't boot | 04:32 |
| laspahr_ | I'll have to run boot repair when i finish | 04:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Once in GRUB, do a regular Ubuntu start and see how it goes | 04:32 |
| laspahr_ | Alright it just automatically set it to the ubuntu option on grub since i was typing | 04:33 |
| laspahr_ | It's on boot animation, let's see if it boots tho.. | 04:33 |
| super | laspahr_, are you dual booting too? | 04:33 |
| laspahr_ | Tried to super, but lost windows boot ability. | 04:34 |
| super | reinstalled your grub | 04:34 |
| laspahr_ | Screwed up easybcd | 04:34 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: You can press Esc to lose the plymouth splash screen and see the text messages | 04:34 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: I think letting you loose around that PC is dangerous! | 04:35 |
| laspahr_ | I hit esc and it went black | 04:35 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Can you do Alt+F2 and get another VT with a "login: " prompt? | 04:35 |
| laspahr_ | -.- same white cursor in top left corner | 04:36 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Looks like you've upset something much more fundamental then, if even the getty VTs haven't been started | 04:36 |
| laspahr_ | :( | 04:37 |
| super | lmao | 04:37 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Do you want to pause now and try again tomorrow? I think we both need sleep! | 04:37 |
| laspahr_ | I agree... Thanks for your help TJ-!! | 04:37 |
| laspahr_ | maybe I'll have better luck when I'm rested haha | 04:38 |
| super | you can reinstall ubuntu all of your files should still be there | 04:38 |
| laspahr_ | Now how do i shut down...? | 04:38 |
| super | sudo shutdown | 04:38 |
| laspahr_ | Can't type | 04:38 |
| super | shutdown now | 04:38 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Alt+SysRq+S then Alt+SysRq+O (off) | 04:38 |
| super | hold the power key | 04:38 |
| laspahr_ | Ah there we go | 04:39 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: always sync the disks, don't just kill power by holding the power switch... that can result in damaged file-systems | 04:39 |
| laspahr_ | Ill keep that in mind ahha | 04:39 |
| === quimoniz is now known as Guest30988 | ||
| super | TJ-, wheres the SysRq I don't have that key | 04:40 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: I may be around later today (my time) .. if not, and someone else helps you, tell them the problem could be a bad initrd.img config (requires "sudo update-initramfs -uk all"), but more likely the Upstart init daemon isn't kicking off the jobs correctly... since the getty terminals aren't being started | 04:40 |
| laspahr_ | Okay.. Haha | 04:41 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: Do you want me to pastebin our conversation from tonight/ | 04:41 |
| laspahr_ | Couldn't hurt Lol | 04:42 |

| neo1691 | Hi has anyone here using bspwm with lightdm, I ran into some problems! I am getting a seg fault. | 06:28 |
| Ubuntius | is it also possible to determine if the system is 64bit or 32bit? | 06:29 |
| th0rn | type uname -a | 06:29 |
| Ubuntius | (I am trying to determine what sort of download is suitable for my system) | 06:29 |
| neo1691 | ok, what processor | 06:29 |

| neo1691 | th0rn: I think he want's to know whether his processor arch is 64 bit or not | 06:31 |
| th0rn | thats not what he asked, though. | 06:32 |
| Ubuntius | I just need to know what to download at http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html | 06:32 |
| Ubuntius | It sounds like Linux (Ubuntu Precise) 32-bit is what I need | 06:32 |
| th0rn | sounds correct | 06:33 |
| Ubuntius | so my final question, is it hard to install a deb file over the command line? | 06:33 |

| Ubuntius | okay, I guess I can find that out later. In the meantime, this is what already exists: http://fedir.github.io/web/blog/2013/09/25/install-wkhtmltopdf-on-ubuntu/ (I ran those commands but the version was very out of date). Do you think based on that, I just have to delete /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh, /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf/ and /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf and it will have "undone" those commands that I ran? | 06:36 |
| Ubuntius | Does the fact that there is a symlink complicate matters? | 06:36 |
| th0rn | no, if you remove it you should be fine | 06:37 |
| Ubuntius | okay, so if I remove those files it will basically be like starting from scratch again? | 06:37 |
| Ubuntius | and I can then run the .deb package to update | 06:37 |
| th0rn | i'd imagine so, yea | 06:37 |
| Ubuntius | ok | 06:38 |
| Ubuntius | so after I run the equivalent of [14:33] <th0rn> sudo dpkg -i file.name.deb | 06:38 |
| Ubuntius | do I need to run anything else? | 06:38 |
| Ubuntius | or is it like apt-get, where it just does its thing automatically? | 06:38 |
| th0rn | no, if theres anything else that should be done it should instruct you | 06:38 |
| Ubuntius | unlike that link I put earlier, where it piped a result into an .sh file, I'm guessing I won't need to worry about that step this time | 06:39 |
| Ubuntius | Okay, I'll try deleting those files and giving this a go | 06:39 |

| FuzzyWhirlpool | It's better to manually do the partitioning. | 07:02 |
| super | Lost_x, what do you use your computer for mainly? | 07:02 |
| Lost_x | by the way, im anewbie with ubunto and im planning to shift to linux soon | 07:02 |

| super | Lost_x, cool I'm completely 100% on the linux side | 07:03 |
| Lost_x | currently i need windows for now.... :) | 07:03 |
| th0rn | you'll need to select 'install ubuntu along side windows' if you're looking to dualboot | 07:04 |
| Lost_x | i still have window based apps | 07:04 |
| th0rn | then select the partition/drive you wish to install ubuntu on | 07:04 |
| super | okay guys I need help with hotplug SATA hard drive not detected on linux whats the command to rescan my device? | 07:04 |
| super | i formatted my drive as ext4 the only time it works is when I restart with the hard drive inserted | 07:05 |
| Lost_x | selecting something else prompted me to create drives | 07:05 |
| Lost_x | for "/", swap and "/home" | 07:06 |
| th0rn | what did you select? | 07:06 |
| Lost_x | somethings else | 07:07 |

| Beldar | Lost_x, What is the windows version on there now? | 07:10 |

| Lost_x | only 4 primaries created | 07:15 |

| super | I am running Ubuntu64 and I have a SATA hotswap tray. Currently, the only way my system recognizes a new SATA drive in the hotswap tray is when I reboot. I'm able to remove the drive after unmounting it but I'd like Ubuntu to detect when I've put a new drive in the tray and automount it (like it does when I plug in an external USB drive) without having to reboot. Would someone please tell me how to set this up? | 07:36 |
| super | how do I scan my system so that my hotplug will be detect? | 07:37 |

| Beldar | !12.10 | fklinguista | 07:47 |
| ubottu | fklinguista: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on May 16th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/quantal | 07:47 |

| Ben64 | yep, because 12.10 hasn't been supported since may | 07:51 |
| fklinguista | I hope I had enough sense to do a separate home partition | 07:51 |
| Beldar | Lost_x, Sounds like you are mired in problems you have had, not really relevant for me to help you get installed. | 07:51 |
| Beldar | Lost_x, Fir the record I have three OS on my HD I know this stuff. | 07:52 |
| fklinguista | How can I check my partitions without gparted? | 07:52 |
| fklinguista | I uninstalled gparted and (obviously) can't install it now | 07:52 |

| FuzzyWhirlpool | Then, start your backup of home on external hdd. | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | fklinguista: nope, you should back that up somewhere before | 07:54 |
| fklinguista | I was afraid of this... | 07:55 |
| fklinguista | I gotta see how big home is, lol | 07:55 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | How much is your homedir? | 07:55 |
| fklinguista | Btw, does 13.04 still support GNOME Fallback? | 07:55 |
| Ben64 | don't run 13.04... | 07:55 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Stick with LTS | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | yeah, 13.04 is already unsupported | 07:56 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | 12.04 or 14.04 | 07:56 |
| fklinguista | Oh, whoops | 07:56 |
| fklinguista | yeah, I meant 14.04 | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | 14.04 preferably at this point | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | gives you support and updates until 2019 | 07:56 |

| FuzzyWhirlpool | Just go with install. Unless you choose to format the partition, your home should be safe. | 07:57 |
| Ben64 | really do need to format though | 07:58 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Or rename your /home to /home-old or something. | 07:58 |
| Beldar | blackyboy, "Hi , Everyone, Accidentally i have deleted 100MB MBR record of Windows"the windows boot partition is there, you are missing boot stuff in sda6 the ubuntu partition. | 07:58 |
| Ben64 | that won't solve it getting formatted... | 07:58 |
| blackyboy | Beldar: ok then how can i fix this issue | 07:59 |

| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: And if it doesn't stick on reboot? | 08:03 |
| blackyboy | Beldar: no i dont have a separate boot partition | 08:03 |
| fklinguista | Ben64: More good news... My desktop was also 12.10... | 08:04 |
| blackyboy | Beldar: boot was inside / as /boot , i don't have a separate partition for boot2 | 08:04 |
| Beldar | blackyboy, Not sure how what youhave done would remove grub in sda6 it makes no sense. | 08:04 |
| blackyboy | typo 2 | 08:04 |
| fklinguista | And the HDD is bigger on it, so on top of everything, looks like I have to go buy a larger external drive | 08:04 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Yeah, unless you add some lines in /etc/network/interfaces. Though it will interfere with network manager. | 08:04 |
| blackyboy | Beldar: ya me to don't have idea , cos i never use to create a /boot in Ubuntu | 08:06 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: I'm using 14.04 server will it interfere still? | 08:06 |
| fklinguista | Well, thanks everyone for the help | 08:07 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Server? I guess it won't interfere with network manager, because nm is found on desktop versions. | 08:07 |
| fklinguista | I'm just going to go to bed, since it's late and I know what's on my plate now... | 08:07 |
| fklinguista | I'll start the backup process soon | 08:07 |
| Beldar | blackyboy, You could try chrooting to sda6 and running a apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc just to make sure anything is cleaned out than run apt-get install grub-common grub-pc than when asked grub in sda and run a grub update just to be sure. | 08:08 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | chroot is the ultimate way to fix a broken ubuntu system | 08:08 |

| Mister-T-52 | Hi guy's for use a live USB of ubuntu, what is the best ? Harddisk USB2 vs Usb Key in USB3 ? | 08:11 |
| Mister-T-52 | and why ? | 08:11 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Just add up or post-up script to achieve your desired network setup. | 08:11 |
| Beldar | Mister-T-52, best is an opinion, however a HD is hit and miss, use a usb flash. | 08:11 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: Thanks. Been there. It doesn't say much about setting stuff up in the config file though. | 08:12 |
| rnat | sokoll: http://superuser.com/questions/135580/multiple-java-environment-on-the-same-linux-machine | 08:12 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: I tried this adding this: post-up /sbin/ip ip route replace default via 172.16.10.10 dev eth0 It felt wrong when I tried it and it obviously was... What do you think is amiss? | 08:13 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: It doesn't seem right to put commands in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg | 08:14 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | You need two commands | 08:14 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: I'm using replace so this works fine on the command line | 08:15 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: If you're thinking of del/add. | 08:15 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Yeah, you store your own config on interfaces.d directory and store your networking scripts somewhere else. | 08:15 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | First, add a new static route then replace the default route. | 08:16 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: You don't happen to know where "somewhere else" is by any chance? :-) | 08:16 |
| meteorNewbie | FuzzyWhirlpool: If we're talking command line here replace actually does what you are saying and it works fine. It's just not persistent on reboot. | 08:19 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Write your ip scripts on /etc/ip-up.sh then add a post-up to execute /etc/ip-up.sh | 08:19 |

| arjun_k | how can i access a remote computer which doesnt have static ip ? <bcvery> | 08:30 |
| Beldar | blackyboy1, A chroot get you to the install as a root user, the commands are run there with no sudo. | 08:30 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | basically, you need to mount your sda6 partition on somedir, for example /mnt. Then cd into /mnt and launch `sudo chroot .` | 08:30 |
| Beldar | gets* | 08:30 |

| FuzzyWhirlpool | You need to mount /proc inside the chroot | 08:41 |
| cebuano | I currently purchased 2 roots in diferent company , I run a bot on the first root when the bot connects it uses proxy, dfrent ip not the my root ip, now the other one i also run a perl bot on it, when the 2nd bot connect bot uses the real IP not proxy, what app do i install on the 2nd root ? | 08:41 |
| cebuano | *IRC bot | 08:42 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | Oh, irc bot. I have no knowledge about it. | 08:42 |
| cebuano | NO | 08:42 |
| cebuano | what im talking is the IP | 08:42 |
| blackyboy1 | FuzzyWhirlpool: will this command do it ? for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt/temp$i; done | 08:42 |
| cebuano | other my first root uses proxy and the 2nd root dont have it uses the real IP | 08:43 |
| cebuano | what app do ineed to update on 2nd root | 08:43 |
| blackyboy1 | FuzzyWhirlpool: Did i want to mount all separately ? | 08:44 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | yes, if you mount your ubuntu sda on /mnt/tmp | 08:44 |
| blackyboy1 | yes i done it | 08:44 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | so you just need to chroot into /mnt/temp | 08:44 |
| arjun_k | is ther any tools like Webex to access different systems remotely in diff os without static ip? | 08:44 |

| FuzzyWhirlpool | Sorry, cebuano. I don't know about it. | 08:47 |
| blackyboy1 | FuzzyWhirlpool: yes i have followed the steps as there mentioned, i have mounted my / into my /mnt/temp , my / partition was /dev/sda6, what i did is mkdir /mnt/temp && mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/temp | 08:47 |
| blackyboy1 | but still im getting error while installing grub | 08:48 |

| cebuano | FuzzyWhirlpool Okay last Question brotha its just a simple YES or NO question , is it possible to hide a process, hide it from root using user account? , I know it root see's everything bot just asking if its possible or theres a way on hiding it using their user account. | 08:48 |
| blackyboy1 | FuzzyWhirlpool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7807893/ | 08:48 |
| cebuano | Just making sure nobody doing bad things on my root | 08:49 |
| cebuano | so i see evrything. | 08:49 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | blackboy, you'd better read this wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 08:49 |
| cebuano | I currently have 30 users n my box | 08:49 |
| OerHeks | cebuano, "hide it from root using user account" ? it is root, or user account. | 08:50 |
| arjun_k | eans i need to access more than one syatems remotely without much fee? | 08:50 |
| cebuano | OerHeks im the root, is it possible for them to hide from me on what they run on their accounts | 08:50 |
| cebuano | *run a program | 08:51 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | You need a hardened system to do that. It's called process isolation. | 08:51 |
| Beldar | FuzzyWhirlpool, They are missing grub at the least, and that paste looks like there are more problems than just that | 08:52 |
| cebuano | so top see's everything? | 08:52 |
| FuzzyWhirlpool | No normal user can peep into other users processes. | 08:52 |
| cebuano | FuzzyWhirlpool ,if your access is just a user and you wanted to hde a certain process, enable not be seen by the root , is it possible ? thats what im scared of if somebody uses my root on iligal matters | 08:53 |
| CpuID | hey guys - how often do you find your getting a 404 off certain mirrors for recently added packages? | 08:54 |
| CpuID | it almost feels like the packages/releases lists are updated before the pkgs make it to the mirrors half the time...? | 08:54 |

| catNode | I'm using a X220 running 14.04LTS, and there is something wrong with the unit, because I'm getting constant random shutdowns every 10 minutes or so. After doing an acpi_listen in terminal, it seems that it's picking up constant 'button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000' commands which are obviously causing the shutdowns. Is there any way to tell Ubuntu to ignore or block these 'button/power PBTN' commands it receives? | 10:35 |

| decci | TJ-: how shall I approach | 11:50 |
| TJ- | decci: Well, a snapshot would capture a coherent 'session' at a point in time... then you have to figure out how to translate that into a bootable ISO :) | 11:51 |

| ytg_movs | so TJ- if i learn plain sh first, is that better than leanring dash or bash first? it seems they were built on the plain sh is that true? so it might be betterto learn the plain sh first? | 12:23 |
| TJ- | ytg_movs: I think you'll find learning them all in parallel by writing scripts that challenge you to figure out how to achieve something, which forces you to explore the documentation and do tests, is the best way | 12:24 |

| ytg_movs | thanks TJ- i'll do that, but for now i am still learing the basics and know prety much nothing about cli, so you think zsh might be a place to start? i like to set a strong foundation before getting into things. if i can get docs on any one, dash, bash, zhs, or plain sh, which one should i start with? from zero. | 12:26 |

| ytg_movs | ok. that's a good idea since i lready have anice set up here. TJ- thanks. | 12:28 |
| __Rocky__ | ytg_movs, I suggest bash. First http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/, then the bash info pages. After that you can learn about other shells. | 12:28 |
| TJ- | __Rocky__: starting with Bash isn't ideal, since it is the greatest superset of functionality... it's better to learn a 'lesser' shell first, and then learn the bash extensions that add power | 12:30 |
| ytg_movs | thanks __Rocky__ i'm still getting to the level where i can use that guide. | 12:30 |
| TJ- | __Rocky__: ytg_movs for example, knowing bash but not sh is not helpful if you get dumped in the initrd because the root file-system won't mount | 12:31 |
| ytg_movs | should be an experienced UNIX or Linux user, familiar with basic commands, man pages and documentation | 12:31 |

| bong | hi i tried to remove audacious from lubuntu but it says lubuntu-desktop will also be removed. is it safe to remove audacious? | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | bong why remove it? It's so small! | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | !info audacious | 12:34 |
| ubottu | audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.3-1 (trusty), package size 240 kB, installed size 1498 kB | 12:34 |
| ytg_movs | ok, and i figured out why my screen flickers every once in a while. i hve the liquid effect enabld so when i go too far in an app, like for example, delete too far, it sends out the watter effect waves. i think i'll leave it as an incentive to stop making mistakes. | 12:34 |
| bong | cfhowlet because i now have vlc installed. | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | bong so? still no need to remove audacious. just don't use it. | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | bong but if you insist, yeah, no lubuntu-desktop will make you sad ... | 12:36 |
| Caroga | cfhowlett, are you any good at bluetooth and wifi problems ? | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | Caroga not only "not good" I have zero knowledge. sorry. | 12:37 |
| TJ- | He can probably create them as well as the rest of us :) | 12:37 |
| Caroga | haha | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | ^^ not really saying much there, tj | 12:37 |
| TJ- | :p | 12:37 |
| Caroga | Still +1 for TJ- | 12:37 |
| Caroga | but yeah that kinda s**ks | 12:38 |
| TJ- | Caroga: Bluetooth *and* WiFi? ... did you accidentally hit the RF Kill switch? | 12:38 |
| function9 | Caroga: what chipset? | 12:38 |
| Caroga | Trying to stream music over bluetooth and that works, but my wifi gets awful instable | 12:38 |
| Caroga | function9, I believe its all intel | 12:39 |
| Caroga | lemme check | 12:39 |
| TJ- | Caroga: That is because they are likely both operating in the 2.4GHz ISM band, and interfering | 12:39 |
| TJ- | Caroga: some Wifi chipsets/drivers have an option "bt-coexistence" which can be enabled to help things. | 12:39 |
| Caroga | Hmm I could switch to 5GHz on my wifi but I'd rather not | 12:39 |
| bong | cfhowlett is the statement also true for abviword and gnumeric if i install libreoffice?? | 12:40 |
| TJ- | Caroga: But, best solution - if it is available - is to switch the WiFi to 5.xGHz (802.11a/n instead of 802.11b/g/n) | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | !info lubuntu-desktop | 12:40 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.55 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; armhf) | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | bong don't know if removal of abi or gnumeric will remove lubuntu-desktop ... test it and see. | 12:41 |
| Caroga | TJ-, I can do that but I rather not. | 12:41 |
| Caroga | function9, it's intel | 12:42 |
| TJ- | Caroga: You can try repositioning your 802.11gn gear, or lowering the output power... so the area around the Bluetooth path doesn't have such powerful interference | 12:42 |

| cfhowlett | bong to see what will be effected, run this terminal command: apt-cache show lubuntu-desktop | 12:43 |
| bong | cfhowlett i mean would u remove abi and gnumeeric if u were installing libreoffice? | 12:43 |
| Caroga | TJ-, how could one use the help of bt-coexistence ? | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | bong if it didn't effect my overall system, yes. | 12:43 |
| TJ- | Caroga: That is usually an option on the kernel driver *if* it is available at all | 12:44 |
| Caroga | TJ-, also, couldnt i just switch the wifi channel and see if that helps ? | 12:44 |
| TJ- | Caroga: It might, but 802.11bgn and Bluetooth use different spread-spectrum techniques so moving the Wifi won't necessarily help... unless you also have other neighbouring 2.4GHz WAPs affecting the signals too | 12:45 |
| bong | cfhowlett so u removed abi and gnumeric? | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | bong did, but I'm on xubuntu, not lubuntu ... YMMV | 12:46 |
| TJ- | bong: If you do "apt-cache rdepends <packagename>" it'll show you all the reverse-dependencies - in other words, the packages that will be removed if you remove that package | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | TJ- good one! thanks. | 12:47 |
| Caroga | Hmm i think ill try, I just read that BT doesnt channels on channel 13 and 14, maybe this could be a easy solution | 12:47 |
| function9 | Caroga: Is the power management disabled on the wifi? | 12:47 |
| TJ- | Caroga: remember that 802.11n uses wider channels though, 40MHz typically so the overlap is quite significant | 12:48 |
| Caroga | I have it running on 20MHz atm | 12:48 |

| bong | cfhowlett what could have have happened if i removed lubuntu-desktop? | 12:52 |
| __Rocky__ | k1l, alt + middle mouse button isn't doing anything | 12:52 |

| k1l | __Rocky__: ah, there you go. | 12:53 |
| __Rocky__ | k1l, Just curious. What would alt + middle button do? | 12:54 |
| k1l | i dont know how this cut down desktop wants to handle that issue. on unity alt+middle mouse works | 12:54 |
| __Rocky__ | in unity | 12:54 |
| TJ- | owlbread: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX is applied to *all*menu entries, including the Recovery options, whereas "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT only applies the regular multiuser (GUI) boot entries | 12:54 |
| k1l | make the mouse to the "change the size of the window"mouse | 12:54 |
| Caroga | TJ-, changing channels was not a good idea.. :P | 12:55 |

| koichirose | Hello everyone. I’m logged in via SSH and just changed my shell to zsh, but first I had to disable PAM auth temporarily by editing /etc/pam.d/chsh. Now if I open another terminal, I can’t login via SSH anymore. I’m still logged in in another terminal window though. What could be the issue? | 12:56 |
| TJ- | koichirose: you broke PAM? | 12:59 |
| koichirose | TJ-: possibly :) | 12:59 |
| Pici | koichirose: why did you touch PAM at all? | 12:59 |
| TJ- | koichirose: Does "ssh -vvv ..." give you anything useful? | 12:59 |
| * cfhowlett thinks you shouldn't answer that without consulting legal counsel | 12:59 | |
| Pici | cfhowlett: :P | 13:00 |
| koichirose | Pici: I got a PAM authentication failed when running chsh, googling suggested that | 13:00 |
| koichirose | TJ-: not at all, it simply skips my public key, requests a password and doesn’t let me in with the correct password | 13:00 |
| TJ- | koichirose: On the existing server terminal, can you check "/var/log/auth.log" for clues? | 13:00 |
| koichirose | I simply commented this line auth required pam_shells.so - and then uncommented it | 13:01 |
| koichirose | TJ-: interesting: Jul 17 15:01:25 koichirose-srv sshd[7982]: User koichirose not allowed because shell zsh does not exist | 13:01 |
| TJ- | koichirose: That'd do it :) | 13:01 |
| koichirose | TJ-: no luck. which zsh -> /usr/bin/zsh. chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh (no errors). can’t login anyway | 13:02 |
| TJ- | koichirose: Did you set the user shell to "/bin/zsh5" ? | 13:02 |
| koichirose | also, weird I think, running chsh as koichirose outputs You may not change the shell for 'koichirose'. So I ran it with sudo | 13:03 |
| TJ- | koichirose: which Ubuntu release is that? There's no "/usr/bin/zsh" in Trusty according to "apt-file search '/usr/bin/zsh' " | 13:04 |
| koichirose | TJ-: it’s XMBCbuntu, Description:Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - XBMCbuntu | 13:04 |
| Caroga | TJ-, it looks like switching from 2.4 GHz to 5.xGHz works | 13:04 |
| TJ- | koichirose: That's because "/etc/shells" lists the only user-legal shells, but pam_rootok can override that | 13:04 |
| TJ- | koichirose: Is "/usr/bin/zsh" a sym-link to something else? | 13:05 |
| Caroga | TJ-, thanks for the help so far ^^, | 13:05 |
| koichirose | TJ-: yes: /etc/alternatives/zsh-usrbin | 13:05 |
| koichirose | TJ-: also, tried switching back to /bin/bash, auth.log still says ‘zsh does not exist' | 13:06 |
| TJ- | koichirose: here I get "pastebinit < <(lsb_release -a && apt-file search 'bin/zsh')" => http://paste.ubuntu.com/7808950/ | 13:07 |
| TJ- | koichirose: what does /etc/alternatives/xsh-usrbin sym-link to? | 13:07 |
| Pici | TJ-, koichirose: apt-file won't list symlinks and other things created by scripts in the package. | 13:08 |
| === PowerKiller is now known as Power_OFF | ||
| koichirose | TJ-: there’s no xsh-usrbin | 13:08 |
| TJ- | Pici: I know, but I'm trying to figure out which zsh is installed | 13:08 |
| TJ- | koichirose: my typo, correct it :) | 13:08 |
| koichirose | oh, oops: /etc/alternatives/zsh-usrbin -> /bin/zsh5 | 13:09 |
| TJ- | koichirose: YAY, finally :) | 13:09 |
| koichirose | so I should chsh to that? | 13:09 |
| TJ- | koichirose: It is possible that the symlinks don't get followed... try using "/bin/xsh5" directly, see if you get a different response | 13:09 |
| TJ- | Why do I keep pressing 'x' instead of 'z' ? | 13:10 |
| koichirose | TJ-: :)) | 13:10 |
| koichirose | still nothing: User koichirose not allowed because shell zsh does not exist | 13:10 |
| * TJ- shuffles to the left | 13:10 | |
| koichirose | ouch | 13:10 |
| Pici | koichirose: what does the line for your user in /etc/passwd look like? | 13:11 |
| TJ- | koichirose: But that is because, as I said earlier, it isn't in "/etc/shells" and pam_shells.so is blocking it | 13:11 |
| jawwwer | Pici: how do I create hotspot in xubuntu. Can you please tell? | 13:11 |
| TJ- | koichirose: Only root can use a shell not in "/etc/shells" | 13:11 |
| Pici | jawwwer: I don't know, ask the channel (or in #xubuntu) | 13:11 |
| jawwwer | hmmm, nobody is around there | 13:12 |
| koichirose | TJ-: how do I put zsh in there? | 13:12 |

| koichirose | ok wait | 13:13 |
| TJ- | koichirose: Yes... unless you revert all the changes you've been making | 13:14 |
| koichirose | TJ-: /etc/shells contains /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh | 13:14 |

| koichirose | xeonid: long story :) | 13:15 |
| koichirose | TJ-: there’s both /bin/zsh and /bin/zsh5 now | 13:16 |
| koichirose | removing /bin/zsh | 13:16 |
| TJ- | xeonid: 'chsh' won't edit "/etc/shells", and the user has added bad symlink paths into it | 13:16 |
| koichirose | TJ-: not “the user”, I didn’t symlink anything, it came like that :P | 13:16 |
| TJ- | koichirose: does the system *have* a "/bin/zsh" ? | 13:16 |
| TJ- | koichirose: OK, the daft sysadmin :) | 13:16 |
| koichirose | TJ-: no it doesn’t | 13:16 |
| koichirose | removed | 13:16 |
| TJ- | koichirose: OK, remove it :) | 13:17 |
| koichirose | TJ-: now it contains /bin/zsh5 only | 13:17 |
| koichirose | and others such as bash, dash... | 13:17 |
| koichirose | still can’t login though | 13:17 |
| TJ- | koichirose: you shouldn't get the "shell zsh does not exist" anymore | 13:18 |
| TJ- | koichirose: what shell have you set for your user, currently? | 13:18 |
| koichirose | TJ-: /bin/zsh5 | 13:18 |
| koichirose | even though passwd says zsh | 13:18 |
| TJ- | koichirose: check the log file again | 13:18 |
| koichirose | don’t know why chsh doesn’t change that. should I change it manually? | 13:19 |
| tinker | Do I need antivirus on Ubuntu? | 13:19 |
| TJ- | koichirose: the user's shell in "/etc/passwd" should be "/bin/ksh5" - is that correct? | 13:19 |
| koichirose | TJ-: it’s not. it’s ‘zsh’. using chsh with sudo changes it for root, obviously. I can’t run chsh without sudo | 13:20 |
| xeonid | tinker: av is bad idea | 13:20 |
| koichirose | $ chsh -s /bin/zsh5 —> You may not change the shell for 'koichirose'. But I’m koichirose! | 13:21 |
| __Rocky__ | koichirose, you can mention the account name in chsh | 13:21 |
| __Rocky__ | sudo chsh -s /bin/<whichever shell> <login-name> | 13:21 |
| koichirose | __Rocky__: done, it works, but why can’t I run it without sudo? | 13:21 |
| MACscr | why does ubuntu 14 use systemd AND upstart? | 13:22 |
| koichirose | TJ-, __Rocky__: can login now :) learned something new | 13:22 |
| TJ- | koichirose: OK, I've installed zsh here to see what is going on. | 13:22 |
| koichirose | TJ-: I have done this on at least 10 servers (raspberry pis, ubuntu, debian). never had this issue. I guess XBMCbuntu has something wrong somewhere | 13:23 |
| xeonid | koichirose: have you tried fish shell ? imho it's better then zsh | 13:23 |
| koichirose | xeonid: heard about it, don’t have time to switch all my plugins and everything though | 13:23 |
| xeonid | koichirose: but it doesn't support exec cmd in cmd like echo " `cat /etc/passwd` " | 13:24 |
| TJ- | koichirose: installing zsh-common added 2 lines to "/etc/shells": "/bin/zsh" and "/usr/bin/zsh". Both of those are sym-links, the first to "/etc/alternatives/zsh" and the latter to "/etc/alternatives/zsh-usrbin". That explains where those entries came from, so I think you should fix up "/etc/shells" to be as it was - it seems the error was all about your per-user shell config not the system config. | 13:24 |
| TJ- | koichirose: and of course ensure all the symlinks are valid :) | 13:25 |
| koichirose | TJ-: ok. I guess my only issue then whas /etc/passwd | 13:26 |
| brainwash | MACscr: it's not really systemd, just a wrapper to make logind working | 13:27 |
| koichirose | TJ-: reverted /etc/shells, everything’s good. I messed up my /etc/passwd somehow | 13:27 |
| koichirose | thank you very much, I learned a few new things and I’m happy :) | 13:28 |
| tinker | xeonid, why is antivirus a bad idea? | 13:28 |

| Hounddog | awesome so stuck to 5 only and no way to use it without having some fuckall macbook... sorry for language but this shit is pissing me off currently | 13:46 |

| robin77 | Hounddog, Apple Safari has no support for Linux, so it's posilble te install it without some emulator, and emulators always have disatvantages, like only support for older versions, and slowing things down. | 13:53 |
| Hounddog | robin77: i was looking at that.. i only found a version of Safari5 | 13:53 |
| hsnopi | Good Morning all. I'm a little confused on an issue. The USN's that came out overnight specify various linux-images that need updating. for example linux-image-3.2.0-67-virtual 3.2.0-67.101. Now when I do a apt-show-versions -u I don't see imges, I see 4 other things, one of which is linux-virtual. I think that's the one I need to update. If, for some reason, I need to upgrade just the elements in the USN would I just apt-get install linux-virtual? Lets | 13:54 |
| hsnopi | assume I can't do a dist upgrade due to upper management decisions I have zero control over. | 13:54 |
| robin77 | But why do you want Safari? Why not use the Linux native browsers like Firefox, or Google Chome/Chromium? | 13:54 |
| iszak | I have a program that runs and outputs to stderr but doesn't return an error return/exit code, how can I check if stderr is populated and if it is, output a correct exit code in bash/bourne shell? | 13:55 |
| wilfredor | I have a dependence problem http://pastebin.com/19WeS0e1 | 13:56 |
| mkanyicy | iszak: you can redirect stderr of your program to file and then check if the file is empty or not | 13:56 |
| MarcGuay | Hounddog: A Safari emulator might not give a true representation of what it will look like on a Mac either, defeating the purpose of using it for testing... | 13:56 |
| iszak | mkanyicy: I will get concurrency issues because two programs could generate the same file | 13:56 |
| iszak | mkanyicy: timestamp may mitigate it, seems hackish. | 13:56 |
| Pici | hsnopi: linux-virtual is a metapackage that depends on the latest linux-image-*-virtual package, so yes, that is the one you'd need to update. | 13:56 |
| hsnopi | Pici: thank you | 13:57 |

| Lost_x | hi guys. im trying to create a start up disk or bootable usb stcik, but i can make the make startup disk button enable even i already inserted a a freshly formatted 4gb usb. | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | Lost_x abnormal behavior. Workaround: install unetbootin and create your disk | 14:04 |
| LiENUS | Lost_x, have you tried turning it off and back on again? | 14:06 |
| TJ- | iszak: Try this (using bash): "<your-command> 2> >(cat >/tmp/tmp.$RANDOM)" which will redirect stderr to /tmp/tmp.<some-random-value> | 14:06 |

| raub | Easy peasy question: I want a given nameserver to show on the top in /etc/resolv.conf. So I went in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and added th eline nameserver 192.168.4.1 | 14:13 |
| raub | when I do dhclient, it puts it where I want | 14:13 |
| raub | but later on it changes and gets whatever dhcp is feeding eth0. Why is my change in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf being ignored? | 14:13 |
| TJ- | raub: are you aware of "man resolvconf" ? | 14:14 |
| raub | TJ-: yeah. I was trying to figure out if I should do it in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head or /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 14:18 |
| raub | I guess that answers my question | 14:18 |
| Lost_x | LiENUS, im currently on ubuntu live cd. | 14:18 |
| raub | TJ-: so, how do the two (dhclient vs resolvconf) fight? | 14:19 |
| raub | dhclient does its thing first and then resolvconf comes behind it? | 14:19 |
| * hsnopi is curious as well | 14:19 | |
| Lost_x | i;ll do it later. waiting for the download to finish | 14:19 |
| TJ- | raub: "/etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolvconf" should pass the nameservers to the resolvconf scripts that build "/etc/resolv.conf" (actually it's "/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf") | 14:22 |

| eoan | hi all, maybe an odd request... I wasn't able to get my usb soundcard to be recognised on 14.04, tried a bunch of stuff from the forums, last thing I did was try installing the latest alsa driver/dkms which broke all my audio. I removed that, then purged and reinstalled alsa-base and pulseaudio, rebooted, and now both hdaintel *and* my usb soundcard show up and work. I tried purging and reinstalling alsa-base and pulseaudio se | 14:25 |
| eoan | veral times over the course of my poking and prodding, so I'm at a loss as to what finally fixed it :D is there a log I can look at to try to figure out what solved it? I'd like to know for the future, and I thought it might be a useful thing to post on the ubuntu forum in case someone else runs into the same problem, but until I find just what did it... | 14:25 |
| raub | TJ-: Really? I have always ASSumed that /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head would be a good plac eto do so, just like I use /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/footer for extra options (timeout to swtich nameservers and so on) | 14:26 |
| TJ- | trijntje: not sure then - possibly because it is fetching all the various web-server auto-index permutations and reading all their internal links? | 14:26 |
| TJ- | raub: "...but later on it changes and gets whatever dhcp is feeding eth0..." so whatever dhclient started with is replaced when it gets a DHCPOFFER, presumably... I thought your aim wwas to ensure dhclient 'knows' about the nameservers too | 14:27 |
| trijntje | TJ-: I'm not sure what that means. The directory structure of the logs is very simple, its /year/month/day/channel.txt, so what could cause that memory usage? Unless it parses all .html versions of log files and keeps a 'todo' list of every link it finds in memory? | 14:28 |
| raub | TJ-: oh yes! Now, can I tell it to use whatever nameserver aspecific interface is offering? | 14:29 |
| trijntje | but even then, almost 2GB with only url's is insanely much | 14:29 |
| raub | TJ-: so i can be really lazy ;) | 14:29 |
| JT_ | Can anyone recommend a minimal disc install method (CD size, as the server doesn't have a dvd rom it in... don't ask)? | 14:29 |

| raub | tinker: elaborate? I want to say internal svn/git but not just yet | 14:32 |
| raub | Right now I know nothing about what you really want to do | 14:32 |
| tinker | well I use git but I have it on my comp as well obv. I just read about Alaeda https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus, maybe home directory is not a good place for executables? | 14:33 |
| tinker | where do you store your programming repos? | 14:33 |
| TJ- | JT_: It's listed from the Community/Installation wiki page | 14:33 |
| JT_ | TJ-: Guess I missed it somehow... Thanks again. | 14:34 |
| raub | tinker: I am still confused, so I will be babbling here: | 14:34 |
| raub | at work we use svn | 14:34 |
| TJ- | tinker: I have a separate LV file-system at "/home/all/SourceCode" where I put all external source, and another at "/home/all/Projects" for my own code | 14:35 |
| raub | At home I use my own git server, which feeds ansible, puppet, docker | 14:35 |
| tinker | I use bitbucket and git for version control and storage, I am talking about where to store the repo on my local machine | 14:35 |
| raub | A bit similar to TJ-, my homedir is NFS-mounted | 14:35 |
| raub | tinker: I have seen people create a separate user for their repo development | 14:36 |
| tinker | maybe a good idea for safety? | 14:36 |
| Freeder | from the grub shell, how can i tell what /dev/ devices are on the machine? | 14:36 |
| johnthomasdougan | Anyone using an asus t100 | 14:36 |
| tinker | separate user for multimedia as well? | 14:36 |
| raub | and then do the chroot thingie so the packages they need are not installed in the host | 14:36 |
| TJ- | I push my own projects to several different 'remotes' internally and externally | 14:36 |
| raub | TJ-: do you have th elink for instruction on doing a ubuntu package on hand? You know, the one dealing with chroots | 14:37 |
| raub | i think that might help tinker | 14:37 |
| TJ- | LXC is great for isolating untrusted binaries | 14:37 |
| bhays | is this the right channel for ubuntu support? | 14:38 |
| TJ- | raub: I'm not clear on what you're asking? You mean standard debian package building? | 14:38 |
| eeeeee | bhays: yes | 14:38 |
| raub | TJ-: I am kinda playing with docker for that reason | 14:38 |
| raub | TJ-: I think so. I am assuming that is what he is asking | 14:38 |
| _1_johnthomasdou | anyone using ubuntu on an Asus T100 | 14:39 |
| raub | TJ-: I plan on having jenkings server firing up docker thingies to do builds | 14:39 |
| TJ- | I'm not clear whether tinker means a source-code or Debian package 'repo' here | 14:39 |
| cfhowlett_ | _1_johnthomasdou statistically yes, but that is a useless question. give details of your issue and perhaps someone can help. | 14:40 |
| tinker | source code+binaries | 14:40 |
| raub | TJ-: welcome to the club. That's why I asked tinker to elaborate | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett_ | bhays ask your ubuntu questions | 14:40 |
| Freeder | from the grub shell, how can i tell what /dev/ devices are on the machine? | 14:40 |
| raub | bhays: you do not need a blessing from the space pope | 14:40 |
| TJ- | tinker: why would you mix the binaries with the source? Do you mean the intermediate build product before the binaries are packaged? | 14:41 |
| _1_johnthomasdou | my question was is anyone using that set up. NOT a statement that i have questions and not rhetorical. | 14:41 |
| bhays | lol - just lurking for now... | 14:41 |
| tinker | TJ: binaries for android for example | 14:42 |
| tinker | maybe ti doesnt matter | 14:42 |
| === Freeder is now known as Geo | ||
| raub | tinker: I used to build my android binaries in a usb drive of all things | 14:44 |
| TJ- | tinker: executing untrusted code in some kind of jail (chroot/container/vm, apparmor/SELinux, etc.) is always preferred | 14:44 |
| raub | And then sync the source with a internal repository | 14:45 |
| raub | but, a jail like TJ- said is the way to go: keep all the packages you need out of yours OS's back | 14:45 |

| TJ- | andlabs: Sounds like something is trapped in the fan. Switch the PC off and clean it out... compressed air at a minimum, maybe need to lift the heatsink/pipe and clean the radiator manually | 14:47 |
| andlabs | TJ-: yeah; in my experience compressed air doens't work on these fans and for this laptop you literally have ot take everything apart, but I'll try that later; thanks :S | 14:48 |
| TJ- | andlabs: I use an industrial compressor... never fails and it makes the fans sing very high notes ... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | 14:48 |

| laspahr | Because of what TJ- told me i guesa | 15:43 |
| Beldar | ikonia, laspahr installed what is in the repos in his ubuntu setup | 15:43 |

| Beldar | your* | 15:48 |
| Geo | k1l_: the bios wont list /dev/ paths | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Geo: neither will grub as grub doesn't use /dev paths | 15:49 |

| philinux | Beldar;~ his only other option is to get to a rrecovery root prompt with networking, purge ubunt-touch do an autoremove then reinstall ubuntu-desktop, Maybe. I don't know whats gone before | 15:55 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: that is ssh | 15:55 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: I read up on the packages you'd installed, earlier, and it shocks me. You killed that Trusty system by indiscriminately installing all sorts of conflicting packages from obscure sources. It's now a mess. Re-install fresh and *don't* go adding random %^%$&! unless you want to re-install again... and again! | 15:55 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, port 22 is SSH | 15:55 |
| GreatPotato | varunendra: My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: | 15:55 |
| GreatPotato | http://pastebin.com/NRaAEz43 | 15:55 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: you can specify the port | 15:55 |
| renjennoob | So? | 15:55 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: you can also use the ftps client | 15:55 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: the port is just a number | 15:56 |
| _TJ_ | raub: :) easy life | 15:56 |
| Beldar | philinux, theoretically any OS can be fixed yes. ;) this however is a mess is all. | 15:56 |
| laspahr | Okay, so run live usb and reinstall Ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, yes, but I'm NOT talking SFTP here, this is a different protocol | 15:56 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: Yes! | 15:56 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, what package is the ftps client in, I can't find it in apt-cache search | 15:56 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: it will work just fine, or as I said use the ftps client | 15:56 |

| renjennoob | But i cant boot it up on UEFI | 15:57 |
| laspahr | I'll keep all my stuff correct? | 15:57 |
| _TJ_ | JediMaster: "apt-get install ftp-ssl" | 15:57 |
| renjennoob | I need windows 8 tho | 15:57 |
| JediMaster | _TJ_, thanks, that's what I'm after | 15:57 |
| _TJ_ | renjennoob: Yes, that's a problem with the ISO on a USB hard disk ... because the Firmware can't/doesn't see it as an ISO9660 image | 15:58 |
| laspahr | _TJ_ will i be able to keep all my files like it was minutes before installing Ubuntu touch? | 15:58 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, it really won't work: "sftp -P 990 123.123.123.123" returns "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host. Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer" | 15:58 |
| varunendra | GreatPotato, that looks a rather abnormal IP for gateway. Are you sure it works and is not an Ad-Hoc address? | 15:58 |
| GreatPotato | I believe that its right | 15:58 |
| renjennoob | So whats the solution ? | 15:59 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: What 'stuff'? Anything you need to back-up you'd best do from a Recovery boot, move it to an external disk/USB drive... then start fresh on the SSD :) | 15:59 |
| varunendra | GreatPotato, are you able to ping the gateway? | 15:59 |
| GreatPotato | varunendra: Here is what i have via DHCP on my mac | 15:59 |
| GreatPotato | http://cl.ly/image/0l363S3x0w2m | 15:59 |
| laspahr | _TJ_ so its a fresh install, not reinstall? | 15:59 |
| renjennoob | Umm i have something | 16:00 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: Yes... you've made such a mess of it you need to start from clean, do it the standard way, and not add lots of weird fluff that kills it | 16:00 |
| renjennoob | On BIOS | 16:00 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, it's a different protocol to sftp, it's "FTP with implicit SSL" | 16:00 |
| renjennoob | i added a custom UEFI firmware | 16:00 |
| Beldar | !uefi | renjennoob | 16:00 |
| GreatPotato | Should gateway == router? | 16:00 |
| ubottu | renjennoob: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 16:00 |
| renjennoob | From ubuntu iso image | 16:00 |
| raub | GreatPotato: AFAIK, yes | 16:01 |
| laspahr | Okay, how do i get my files and put them on a hard drive? /: | 16:01 |
| _TJ_ | renjennoob: *if* the UEFI firmware has a boot option that will treat the USB device as a CD, it may boot it | 16:01 |
| renjennoob | I tried that thanks lol | 16:01 |
| laspahr | EHD.. | 16:01 |
| varunendra | GreatPotato, is the router working as the DHCP server? Have you checked its DHCP settings? | 16:01 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: Use Recovery mode console again | 16:01 |
| tinker | Can I surf via my smartphone? | 16:01 |
| renjennoob | I only have access to grub boot file | 16:01 |

| GreatPotato | ping: unknown host bbc.co.uk | 16:02 |
| ars23 | hi guys, I have a problem with internet connection via DSL... It worked but after a restart of the PC I can't connect anymore ( I can only via Mobile Broadband)... The reason, it seems to be stuck at requiring address, and after that automatically disconnects... | 16:02 |
| GreatPotato | But if i do “ping 212.58.246.103” it works... | 16:02 |
| renjennoob | Any idea how to boot the system from grub boot? | 16:02 |
| raub | GreatPotato: check your dns | 16:02 |
| GreatPotato | raub: where do i check it | 16:02 |
| GreatPotato | ? | 16:02 |
| raub | GreatPotato: can do you nslookup bbc.co.uk? | 16:03 |
| srofit | anybody know how to install version 1.1 and version 1.3 of libfltk? | 16:03 |
| laspahr | _TJ_ go to root? | 16:03 |
| raub | GreatPotato: /etc/resolv.conf is where the nameservers your machine is using should be defined | 16:03 |
| varunendra | GreatPotato, so you need DNS. If the router is not configured to forward the DNS requests to a proper DNS server, you must define that manually in the /etc/network/interfaces file. | 16:03 |
| GreatPotato | I keep setting them in resolv.conf and they keep disapearing, is that normal? | 16:03 |
| _TJ_ | renjennoob: UEFI does a 'simple' boot for removable media (CD/DVD) by looking for the file "/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi" and if it finds it, loading it. That doesn't generally happen for USB storage since the Firmware treats it as a fixed disk and simply looks for a GTP partition table with an ESP in it | 16:03 |
| _TJ_ | laspahr: Yes :) | 16:03 |
| raub | GreatPotato: what is defined there | 16:04 |
| GreatPotato | Nothing now | 16:04 |
| WithoutDoctrine | test | 16:04 |
| GreatPotato | But i did have: | 16:04 |
| GreatPotato | nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 16:04 |
| raub | GreatPotato: do you know the ip for your router? | 16:04 |
| GreatPotato | nameserver 8.8.4.4 | 16:04 |
| tinker | i mobile broadband a problem or do all USB mobile broadbands work? | 16:04 |
| GreatPotato | Every reboot though they are gone | 16:04 |
| laspahr | Then..? Sorry I'm not experienced in linux quite yet | 16:04 |
| _TJ_ | GreatPotato: "/etc/resolv.conf" should contain "nameserver 127.0.1.1" which is the internal, Network-Manager managed, instance of dnsmasq. | 16:04 |
| varunendra | GreatPotato, if resolvconf package is installed on the system, it will reset the resolv.conf file everytime. | 16:04 |
| raub | GreatPotato: pastebin resolv.conf | 16:05 |

| leshaaf | anybody here uses dcm4chee for medical organitations? | 16:05 |
| GreatPotato | Ok have it working now :) | 16:05 |
| TJ- | GreatPotato: OK, so it has a static IP declared in "/etc/network/interfaces" ? | 16:05 |
| GreatPotato | Yes | 16:05 |
| raub | TJ-: I think GreatPotato needs to see if whoever is feeding dhcp info is giving a good dns server IMHO | 16:06 |
| laspahr | TJ- I'm probably gonna need step by step instructions... | 16:06 |
| raub | Oh | 16:06 |
| GreatPotato | Think ive figured it now, i added dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 to my network interfaces | 16:06 |
| GreatPotato | Next question - when i connect to the server via samba i get some weird printer stuff | 16:06 |
| raub | GreatPotato: That should work. Is that a home box? | 16:06 |
| leshaaf | anybody here uses dcm4chee for medical organitations? | 16:07 |
| GreatPotato | On the old centos server i had, it would log me in to the server root, how can i change this? | 16:07 |
| TJ- | GreatPotato: so the stanza for the Ethernet interface should also have something like " dns-nameservers <IP-address-of-DNS-server> ..." | 16:07 |
| mofai | Hi all | 16:07 |
| TJ- | !root | GreatPotato | 16:07 |
| ubottu | GreatPotato: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:07 |
| TJ- | !sudo | GreatPotato | 16:07 |
| ubottu | GreatPotato: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 16:07 |
| raub | You can always sudo -i if you need to | 16:07 |
| GreatPotato | TJ-: no i mean i want to be able to access the server from / | 16:08 |
| mofai | I've installed java sdk bundled with netbeans. How to check if the Java JRE is also installed? | 16:08 |
| GreatPotato | But when i login via samba it gives me some weird printer thing | 16:08 |

| TJ- | zenx: Have you tried connecting to the TFTP server port using a telnet client, to prove the connection is working? | 16:18 |
| xangua | bruce927: 13.10 is no longer supported | 16:18 |
| bruce927 | xangua: And so the repos have been taken down? | 16:19 |

| zenx | TJ-: no i didn't knwo you could do that, anyway using tftp client on localhost produced no output in syslog | 16:19 |
| bruce927 | Ah, that makes sense | 16:19 |
| zenx | will try telnet | 16:19 |

| laspahr | TJ- i dont see instructions.. | 16:20 |
| zenx | xinetd is, i cant grep ps for any tftpd | 16:20 |
| TJ- | bruce927: If you need to "do-release-upgrade" you can so "sudo sed -i 's,http://.*archive\.ubuntu\.com,http://old-releases.ubuntu.com,' /etc/apt/sources.list" to point to the old-archives repository, then do "sudo apt-get update" to fetch the package lists. | 16:21 |
| raub | zenx: start tftpd manually (thinkit evne has a debug mode) | 16:21 |
| raub | And then try again. i.e. eliminate variables | 16:21 |
| raub | then you can see if you have firewall issues | 16:21 |
| TJ- | zenx: did you restart the xinetd service after configuring for tftpd? | 16:21 |
| raub | while oyu have a running tftpd instance | 16:21 |
| zenx | TJ-: yes | 16:22 |
| raub | if that works, your xinetd config has issues | 16:22 |
| TJ- | zenx: OK, do as raub has suggested then | 16:22 |
| zenx | tftpd is installed, I am guessing xinetd manages tftpd | 16:22 |
| raub | zenx: you can start tftpd manually. Check man page | 16:22 |

| raub | zaggynl: is grub happy? | 16:30 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: If you want to back-up *everything* in your "/home/$USER/" to a single compressed file, that you can then put on a USB stick, you can do "tar -czf /tmp/home-backup.tar.gz /home/$USER" (replace $USER with your usual username) | 16:31 |
| zaggynl | raub: I don't know, I didn't get to choose where to leave grub | 16:31 |
| zaggynl | I just picked "install along side windows 7" | 16:31 |
| zaggynl | had to put a gpt partition table on the ssd first though | 16:31 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: That'll give you the file "/tmp/home-backup.tar.gz" which you can simply "cp" to a mounted USB stick file-system | 16:31 |
| laspahr_ | TJ- that'll backup everything on my computer? | 16:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: It'll backup only what is in the user home directory | 16:32 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: If you stored documents or other files in other locations, you'd need to add those to the tar archive too | 16:32 |

| laspahr_ | so... what's that mean..? | 16:36 |
| TJ- | laspahr_: in that case best step is to insert a USB stick that has free space, mount it, and tell tar to write the archive directly to it | 16:36 |

| super | AnoJones, don't think psu is the cause of your problem | 16:51 |
| NGC3982 | Hi guys, im trying to start a daemon, but when i do, it wants me to use the "/etc/init.d/nameofdaemon start". When i do that, i in turn get "start-stop-daemon: --start needs --exec or --startas". It links me to a help file i do not understand. | 16:51 |
| Guest13267 | ping issue: http://i.imgur.com/O3oPchF.png | 16:51 |
| NGC3982 | The help file tells me i need to start with -S, but that gives of the same effect. | 16:51 |
| super | Guest13267, ping -c 5 -n www.google.com | 16:52 |
| Guest13267 | super, works 5/5 | 16:52 |
| super | AnoJones, did you make any changes on your bios settings? | 16:53 |
| super | and also check your audio jack | 16:53 |
| AnoJones | super - nope, definitely didn't touch the bios. Tried reconnecting the audio jack several times. Speakers works when connected to phone btw, so not a speakers/jack issue either | 16:55 |
| super | AnoJones, are you dual booting windows also? | 16:55 |
| AnoJones | super - I'm pretty sure the problem is the file doesn't exists. The question is, how do I recreate it.. doesn't that looks like ap roblem? | 16:55 |
| super | AnoJones, apt-get update | 16:55 |
| AnoJones | super - yes, but i've been dual-booting windows for a while now, and it worked so far. | 16:56 |
| AnoJones | super - ran update (and upgrade/dist-upgrade after). It shows the usual output, update anyway. upgrade/dist showed no updates to be installed. | 16:56 |
| super | AnoJones, yeah I remember when I switch back and forth between windows to ubuntu I would get audio problem | 16:57 |
| Alma_de_poeta | tj i cant use pastebinit and cant install it because lack of space in disk | 16:57 |
| AnoJones | super - i'm a bit confused. Wouldn't simply recreating the file (not sure how) fix this? what makes you think that file is not the issue? | 16:57 |
| super | AnoJones, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS | 16:59 |
| AnoJones | super - ha, found how to cerate the file. reinstalled libasound2-data (found the info from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc ). Trying to play a bit to see if I can hear now, since errors don't show up. | 17:00 |
| AnoJones | recreate* | 17:00 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, yeah you will learn a lot after troubleshooting and breaking stuff :) | 17:00 |
| NGC3982 | http://pastebin.com/GtJESAwW <- I'm trying to start this daemon. What on earth am i getting wrong? | 17:01 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super: maybe, now i learn that i have almost 10 GB of disk space unused that i cant use until i know how to do | 17:01 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, you can add another hard drive to your volume group and extend it | 17:01 |
| NGC3982 | I'm trying to read the examples and man file for service, init.d and start-stop-daemon, but i dont understand what's wrong. | 17:02 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super: im running kubuntu from usb stick, that stick has only used 3 GB from 16 GB | 17:02 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, if you installed with LVM you can resize it | 17:03 |
| Alma_de_poeta | so i asume with that and 6GB of ram i can get more free space | 17:03 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super: i dont know what i use, a aplicatión from the list, it does all the job | 17:03 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, sudo lsdisplay | pastebinit | 17:04 |

| super | raub, is he on livecd? | 17:08 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super usb-stick | 17:08 |

| raub | Alma_de_poeta: how did you install ubuntu in the usb drive? | 17:12 |
| anojones | super - thx, it works now! Had to play a bit with configuration after reboot, but it works! thanks :) | 17:12 |
| raub | super: I am only seeing a large device in sdb and a cd in sda | 17:13 |
| Alma_de_poeta | raub: a usb installer in the menu, just select installer and the iso | 17:13 |
| super | raub, his /dev/sda used 100% | 17:13 |
| anojones | super - just a random question since you seem to know a lot about ubuntu: My computer is old (and slow), and i'm a bit afraid of upgrading to 14 due to performance. Any justifiction to my fear, or should I just upgrade? | 17:13 |
| raub | super: did he make a livecd into the usb or something? | 17:13 |
| super | anojones, system specs | 17:14 |
| super | raub, yes | 17:14 |
| anojones | note that currently i'm on 13, and it is a bit slow; but good enough, most of the times | 17:14 |
| anojones | super - any quick app for it or should I just list what's on my mind? | 17:14 |
| raub | super: that explains the mystery then | 17:14 |
| OerHeks | anojones, your support ends today. | 17:15 |
| OerHeks | !13.10 | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy | 17:15 |
| anojones | OerHeks - only security updates :P and yeah I know, I just got notification from it, which is why i'm asking. | 17:16 |
| daftykins | anojones: consider ditching unity and going for something like xubuntu if you have old hardware | 17:16 |
| super | anojones, sudo dmidecode -t 4 | pastebinit | 17:16 |
| anojones | OerHeks - but I prefer a non-supported fast-working 13, than a supported very-slow-working 14 ubuntu .. | 17:16 |
| Alma_de_poeta | raub: super ¿what can i do? i dont mind if i need to erase the usb-stick and rebuilt it from diferent aproach | 17:16 |
| OerHeks | anojones, no security updates, sorry | 17:16 |
| anojones | OerHeks - that is what I ment. Only no security updates. At least that's what the notification said. | 17:16 |
| raub | anojones: then you would want to go back to 12.04 | 17:16 |
| anojones | raub - I do think about it, yes. | 17:17 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, how big is that .iso you used to create your liveusb? | 17:17 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super just the livecd from kubuntu, 1,07GB | 17:17 |
| super | and you say you have 16gb usb right? | 17:17 |
| Alma_de_poeta | yes | 17:18 |
| raub | super: would he doing a normal install to the usb (livecd on disk 1, then installing to disk 2) do the trick? | 17:18 |
| super | did you create it with dd? | 17:18 |
| raub | super: partition time? | 17:18 |
| Alma_de_poeta | no, i just use a usb live creator from menu | 17:18 |
| Alma_de_poeta | just need to select the usb and the iso | 17:18 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, are you trying to put Ubuntu to your USB? | 17:19 |
| raub | Alma_de_poeta: the live installs are ephemerous: they use your memory as temporary storage. Once oyu logout, it is all gone | 17:19 |
| OerHeks | anojones, 14.04 didn't change that much from 13.10, so i wonder, how do you tell 14.04 is slower? | 17:19 |
| ObrienDave | unless you add persistance to the usb | 17:19 |
| anojones | super - the relevant information seems to be only Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz, (and 2 GB memory, I think it's relevant). Any chance that's enough? | 17:19 |
| Alma_de_poeta | super i want to try a persistent ubuntu in the usb stick so i can customice it and when all is done install whenever i want | 17:19 |
| raub | ObrienDave: or that ;) | 17:19 |
| anojones | OerHeks - as said, I'm afraid it will be. I didn't try it though. But usually, upgrades to a software doesn't lower the specs requirements. | 17:20 |
| raub | anojones: for a server that is plenty | 17:20 |
| zaggynl | yay, got it installed and booted this time, had to use uefi boot menu to boot ubuntu | 17:20 |
| anojones | raub - ubuntu server? I'm talking about ubuntu desktop :P | 17:20 |
| zaggynl | one thing though, moving cursor from one screen to another is very difficult | 17:20 |
| zaggynl | cursor gets stuck all the time | 17:20 |
| Alma_de_poeta | i have also 6 GB of ram so i think in put swap directly in ram, 1 gb, maybe more | 17:20 |
| raub | anojones: the memory will get to you | 17:21 |
| raub | anojones: I run 14.04 in an old X61 with 4GB and it is fine | 17:21 |
| ObrienDave | Alma_de_poeta, no, use ISO on DVD to install to the entire USB drive | 17:21 |
| ObrienDave | that will give you full capacity of the USB | 17:22 |
| zaggynl | sticky edges disabling fixed cursor stuck, nice | 17:22 |
| anojones | raub - yeah I can feel it a bit in 13 too. Will the upgrade to 14.04 makes the feeling noticeable worse ? | 17:22 |
| anojones | (I know i'm wrong with my use of the word 'noticeable', but i'm not sure how to fix it :P sorry about that) | 17:22 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, try that persistent and see how you like it. | 17:22 |
| raub | anojones: probably as bad as 13. | 17:22 |
| anojones | raub - any way I can upgrade to 14.04 with a fast-way to downgrade to 13.04 if I want to? | 17:23 |
| anojones | 13.10* | 17:23 |
| Alma_de_poeta | ObrienDave: thats what i try but i failed, so the ubs is used only in 21% | 17:23 |
| raub | anojones: live install (CD/USB) of 14.04? | 17:24 |
| ObrienDave | Alma_de_poeta, not if you used live creator, that only uses what it needs | 17:24 |
| raub | Then if you don't like it, you never changed anything | 17:24 |
| Alma_de_poeta | so what i need to use? | 17:24 |
| rcampbel3 | nslookup us-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com <-- not in DNS! What's going on? | 17:24 |
| ObrienDave | Alma_de_poeta, burn ISO to DVD, boot DVD, use that to install to USB | 17:24 |
| anojones | raub - don't have any. I think I can boot iso from hard drive though, so I guess the live install is an option. I'll try that, thanks! | 17:25 |
| Alma_de_poeta | well, i restart and ask from dvd | 17:25 |
| Alma_de_poeta | several minuts | 17:25 |
| anojones | super - thanks again for the audio issue! | 17:25 |
| super | anojones, I didn't do much bro just gave you the link :) | 17:25 |
| raub | anojones: FYI, I did install lubuntu in a really old machine with only 1GB and it works fine | 17:25 |
| anojones | raub - i'll check out lubuntu too then, cool. | 17:26 |
| ObrienDave | anojones, you'll like Xubuntu much better | 17:26 |
| anojones | super - you also checked some commands before, checked the output, went with me.. you did much :) | 17:26 |
| super | for system with 1GB please use LXLE not the Ubuntu gnome,kubuntu, unity | 17:26 |
| anojones | ObrienDave - k, I got 3 versions to test then :P hehe. thanks. | 17:26 |
| anojones | later all, thanks again! | 17:26 |
| ObrienDave | no prob | 17:27 |
| raub | super: that's what I did | 17:27 |
| daftykins | *LXDE | 17:27 |
| raub | I think that is the default for lubuntu | 17:27 |
| super | ubuntu lxle 14.04 | 17:27 |

| narcos | Hi all. I have an Ubuntu 13.10 laptop for which no-one can remember the creds for. I can't seem to figure out how to single boot the machine as there's no grub men. Any hints? | 17:40 |
| Alma_de_poeta | ObrienDave: , super, raub +what i use to make a bootable persistent usb stick_ | 17:41 |
| OCP001 | narcos: press Shift while booting, this should bring up the grub menu | 17:41 |
| __Rocky__ | narcos, You should have grub menu. Maybe its not being displayed. Press shift will booting | 17:41 |
| narcos | ahhh thanks! rebooting | 17:41 |
| ObrienDave | Alma_de_poeta, install selecting ENTIRE usb. there should be a replace all option. make SURE you select the USB before installing | 17:42 |
| narcos | hm that didn't seem to work *tries again* | 17:42 |
| Alma_de_poeta | ObrienDave: you mean to install the same way if i install on hard disck_ | 17:43 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 17:43 |
| Alma_de_poeta | thats dont use grub_ | 17:44 |
| ObrienDave | that will make the whole USB a stand-alone OS. it will still use grub as a bootloader, you won't see the boot menu | 17:46 |
| narcos | Holding shift doesn't seem to GRUB me. | 17:47 |
| Alma_de_poeta | ObrienDave: i dont wnat to install a bootloader, while i can select from where to load by bios with only one key | 17:48 |
| ObrienDave | the USB still needs a bootloader to boot the OS on the USB | 17:49 |
| ObrienDave | it's not like you're going to add grub to your HD. you're just making a stand-alone OS on the USB | 17:51 |
| ObrienDave | you plug in the usb, turn on the machine, and the usb boots. easy | 17:51 |
| Alma_de_poeta | thats is what i want | 17:52 |
| super | Alma_de_poeta, you can you Disks to create your liveusb and also have free space | 17:52 |

| brothersome | pgar23, You are behind a firewall and no one can go to the PBX | 18:03 |
| pgar23 | Since I have no ethernet cable connected to the machine and do not have a wireless NIC installed, there is 0 connections | 18:03 |
| pgar23 | brothersome I am not behind a firewall | 18:03 |

| Amaze-balls | Good evening | 18:06 |

| pgar23 | brothersome: I simply want to assign a static IP to the desktop so that the IP phones can talk to the machine | 18:06 |
| brothersome | pgar23, so everything is localhost and you do not have an IP address | 18:07 |
| brothersome | pgar23, except the 127.0.0.1 | 18:07 |
| Guest30078 | brothersome: Pici: an incomplete installation | 18:07 |
| pgar23 | brothersome: similar to Windows APIPA, where as the desktop has no connection to the internet and gets assigned a private IP. Other machines on the local network can talk to the private IP if they too have an APIPA address... | 18:07 |
| pgar23 | brothersome: that is correct | 18:08 |

| Guest30078 | brothersome: not yet | 18:09 |
| pgar23 | daftykins: I will be. That is what I am asking here, so I guess if the machine will be completely offline and I want devices to communicate via IP I need to setup simple DHCP? | 18:09 |
| pgar23 | daftykins: how will I go about setting DHCP server up? | 18:10 |
| daftykins | pgar23: that'd be the most reliable approach i think yep | 18:10 |

| lmat | I'm having some VNC problems. I run x11vnc and then connect from another host and it goes *really* slow. | 18:11 |
| lmat | I used to do this from the same machine: I had created a Windows 7 virtual machine on the same machine, and VNCed having the guest view the host, and thought it was a virtual machine problem | 18:12 |

| Alma_de_poeta | Guest30078: nothing went wrong, simply i dont have enough space to do it | 18:13 |
| tharkun | lmat: mtr -r will tell you a fact. And probably it will spot where your bottleneck is. | 18:13 |

| lmat | brothersome: Can I run with ubuntu as host? | 18:16 |
| brothersome | lmat: yes you can | 18:17 |
| lmat | brothersome: I'll try it out immediately. | 18:17 |
| brothersome | lmat, some part are already installed | 18:17 |
| lmat | brothersome: already installed it ^_^ | 18:17 |
| Alma_de_poeta | Guest30078: i try to install with aptitude thats means aptitude says to uninstall a lot of stuff and intall a lot more, but the intalls go on before i run out of space | 18:17 |
| lmat | "it looks like xrdp is already running" :-O | 18:17 |
| lmat | now mstsc on the host... | 18:18 |
| lmat | okay, I authenticated... | 18:18 |
| lmat | Now it's showing a ... patchwork design? | 18:18 |
| brothersome | xrdp: Xwindows Remote Desktop Protocol | 18:18 |
| lmat | brothersome: I have the Microsoft Windows computer connected, but it looks like it's not showing anything? | 18:19 |
| lmat | brothersome: It looks like it's maybe on a different X session than I'm using? | 18:19 |
| brothersome | lmat, watch for firewalls | 18:19 |
| lmat | brothersome: It's connected just fine. And I authenticated... | 18:19 |
| brothersome | lmat, correct you get another session | 18:20 |
| lmat | brothersome: damn it... | 18:20 |
| lmat | brothersome: I don't want another session. | 18:20 |
| brothersome | lmat, also VNC will work on the same way. Only teamviewer is different | 18:20 |
| lmat | brothersome: I want other people to be able to view my desktop *as I use it* ^_^ | 18:20 |
| brothersome | lmat, must google for that | 18:21 |
| lmat | brothersome: okay | 18:21 |
| lmat | restarting, brb. | 18:21 |

| laspahr | TJ- you still on? | 18:22 |
| laspahr | guess not heh.. okay I think I got this | 18:23 |
| lmat | brothersome: But this doesn't make sense... | 18:23 |
| lmat | brothersome: rdp starts up a new X session, but there's nothing there. How is that useful? | 18:24 |
| brothersome | lmat: http://askubuntu.com/questions/235905/use-xrdp-to-connect-to-desktop-session | 18:24 |
| lmat | brothersome: reading. | 18:24 |
| brothersome | lmat, it has to do with vino-preferences | 18:25 |
| lmat | brothersome: oh my goodness... | 18:25 |
| laspahr | hmm.. still not working. tried using "tar -czf /dev/sdb2/UbuntuBackup/home-backup.tar.gz /home/$USER" with $USER as my username | 18:25 |
| lmat | brothersome: No I think vino is set up properly (that's what I was using to do vnc before), I need to deal with /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini | 18:25 |
| brothersome | lmat, even VNC starts a new session | 18:25 |
| lmat | brothersome: hmm | 18:26 |
| lmat | brothersome: It looks like xrdp is showing lots of possible sessions: a console, vnc sessions, existing X sessions, etc., etc.! | 18:26 |

| laspahr | I'm trying to make a backup of my computer before doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 | 18:40 |
| brothersome | Why fresh laspahr? | 18:40 |
| laspahr | Tried to install Ubuntu Touch and it pretty much screwed my entire OS. that and too many PPAs installed | 18:41 |
| Pici | laspahr: also, /dev/sdb2/.....tar.gz is not going to be valid. That is where you devices live, it is not a mount point. | 18:41 |
| brothersome | laspahr, The installation disc of 14.04 did everything for me, just have to install some applications because I went from 32 bit to 64 bit | 18:41 |
| maimeo | hello | 18:42 |
| laspahr | Pici: where's the mount point then..? | 18:42 |
| Pici | laspahr: looks like you mounted it to /mnt/ | 18:42 |
| laspahr | brothersome: well I have programs and stuff that I don't want to lose.. | 18:42 |
| laspahr | Pici: oh yeah... heh | 18:42 |
| laspahr | Pici: so I'd use 'tar -czf /mnt/.......' correct? | 18:43 |
| blz | Hello, I have a plain-old ubuntu 14.04 server install. I'd like to install the latest nvidia drivers and XBMC. The last few times I tried, lightdm/gnome/etc were automatically installed alongside the nvidia drivers. How can I install the bare minimum to get xserver running with the nvidia drivers? | 18:43 |
| Pici | laspahr: yes. | 18:44 |
| laspahr | thanks lol | 18:44 |
| blz | In other words, I'd like to install xserver/nvidia-current/xbmc **without** any sort of WM or graphical login manager | 18:44 |
| laspahr | didn't work... | 18:44 |
| laspahr | gave the Cannot opentar: .... Cannot Stat: No such file or directory | 18:44 |
| Pici | laspahr: well, you still need to fix the /home/lancespahr path. | 18:45 |
| laspahr | how do I fix it..? | 18:45 |
| Pici | laspahr: cd /home/ then ls and look at what is there. | 18:45 |
| laspahr | ah.. | 18:45 |
| laspahr | I typed ls and it just showed a new line | 18:46 |
| Pici | laspahr: If I had to guess, I'd say you need to mount either /dev/sda7 or /dev/sda7, your home is probably in one of those. | 18:47 |
| laspahr | they're both the same.... | 18:48 |
| Pici | laspahr: I need to prepare for a meeting here though, someone else in the channel should be able to help | 18:48 |
| Pici | *sda6 | 18:48 |
| laspahr | okay, I'll try that tho | 18:48 |
| laspahr | so mount /dev/sda6 to where? | 18:48 |
| eeee | to /home/lan.... | 18:49 |

| Tralfaz | Anyone have a clue why "Application Preferences" won't save in xfce/xrdp? | 18:49 |
| laspahr | how can I tell which is home? sda6 or sda7? | 18:50 |
| brothersome | Tralfaz, that is policy | 18:50 |
| Tralfaz | brothersome: what do you mean? | 18:51 |
| eeee | laspahr: well you can either ls the contents, or you could lsblk and check the size of the partitions if you knew how big home was | 18:51 |
| laspahr | so lsblk /dev/sda6(or 7) | 18:51 |
| brothersome | Tralfaz, with rdp you are prohibited to set some things | 18:51 |
| eeee | no just lsblk | 18:51 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||

| laspahr | aha, sda6 is root, sda7 is home :D | 18:52 |
| laspahr | thankyou | 18:52 |
| eeee | np | 18:52 |
| lmat | brothersome: got it, using x11vnc. | 18:52 |
| brothersome | lmat: I supposed it was in preferences | 18:53 |
| laspahr | mount: mount point /home/.... does not exist | 18:53 |
| laspahr | what'd I do? /: | 18:54 |
| eeee | i guess you have to mkdir /home/lan.... | 18:54 |
| eeee | (i dont use a seperate /home partition so...) | 18:54 |
| eeee | sorry | 18:54 |
| laspahr | wait I'm still on cd /home/ | 18:54 |
| laspahr | nope that didn't help... | 18:54 |
| laspahr | so mkdir /home/... and that'll make the "home directory" to put sda7 in? | 18:55 |
| ardan_ | guys, stay out of #math | 18:55 |
| laspahr | ugh.. read-only file system -.- | 18:55 |
| laspahr | so can I just do 'tar -czf /mnt/.... /dev/sda7 ? | 18:58 |
| lmat | brothersome: I think my vino is broken :-o | 18:58 |
| eeee | laspahr: i dont think so | 18:58 |
| laspahr | /: | 18:59 |
| eeee | is /home empty ? | 18:59 |
| super | everything on linux soooo complicated | 19:00 |
| super | hotplug hard drives have to be manually scan, and mount and unmount | 19:00 |
| Alma_de_poeta | freshly installed, go to config and customize | 19:00 |
| Alma_de_poeta | first step, see why sometimes all freeze | 19:01 |
| laspahr | how do I check if /home is empty? | 19:01 |
| super | df -h | 19:01 |
| eeee | type ls -a /home | 19:01 |
| super | eeee, :) | 19:01 |
| softballs | when i do "dmesg" i see alot of errors from a running application, but the data itself tells me nothing, how can i know what happened? | 19:02 |
| laspahr | yes it's empty, it just shows blue dots | 19:02 |
| softballs | "segfault at 0 ip 00000000004363e3 sp 00007fffd9b2d6c8 error 4 in merc[400000+67000]" | 19:02 |
| eeee | super: that's not what's happening we want to see if his /home dir is empty to mount to it | 19:02 |
| eeee | :) | 19:02 |
| laspahr | since I'm already root, does sudo do anything? | 19:02 |
| eeee | laspahr: no need to sudo | 19:02 |
| eeee | actually it's not advised | 19:03 |
| eeee | (you shouldn't) | 19:03 |
| laspahr | okay, I wasn't sure. I figured not since it's used to get root permission, but as root there's no point | 19:03 |
| laspahr | so... what now? /: | 19:03 |
| eeee | laspahr: mount /dev/sda7 /home | 19:03 |
| eeee | laspahr: mount -rw /dev/sda7 /home | 19:04 |

| laspahr | sorry got excited heh | 19:04 |
| BrandonC | it waas gana let me wite a partition but when i selected it it errored | 19:04 |
| eeee | it should work now | 19:04 |
| laspahr | so now we do 'tar ........ /mnt/..... /home/lancespahr? | 19:05 |
| laspahr | or would it be /home/sda7 ? | 19:05 |
| eeee | no, just /home | 19:05 |
| eeee | tar czvf is kind of better, it's verbose | 19:05 |
| eeee | so you get to see the files | 19:06 |
| laspahr | czvf? | 19:06 |
| laspahr | instead of czf? | 19:06 |
| eeee | yeah tar czvf /mnt......tar.gz /home | 19:06 |
| laspahr | no dash? | 19:06 |
| laspahr | tar -czvf /mnt..... /home | 19:06 |
| eeee | yeah | 19:07 |
| laspahr | which one? 0.o dash or no dash? | 19:07 |

| laspahr | *yawn* still on /home/.../.local | 19:29 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Also, I don't recall ever enabling unsupported updates | 19:29 |
| laspahr | also, strange question to ask but still... Ubuntu Software Center literally just disappeared on my laptop a while back.. it was just, gone | 19:30 |
| laspahr | but on Live USB it was there | 19:30 |
| laspahr | I installed Synaptic but I don't think that has anything to do with it? | 19:30 |
| daftykins | well yeah because one's an install and one's a live session, | 19:30 |
| Argo_Berserk | Hi can you give me any assistance (in Spanish) | 19:31 |
| Argo_Berserk | translated with google | 19:31 |
| daftykins | broken stuff on your install won't be the case for a live session | 19:31 |
| daftykins | !es | Argo_Berserk | 19:31 |
| ubottu | Argo_Berserk: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 19:31 |
| laspahr | daftykins is Ubuntu Software Center removed from the actual install? | 19:31 |
| laspahr | 0.o it's backing up all my trash... | 19:32 |
| daftykins | laspahr: maybe from *your* install, how could i tell? i'm not sat at it :) | 19:32 |
| Guest45302 | super: Still getting error messages about wine, wine1.6, etc | 19:33 |
| laspahr | I mean did they remove USC? or did I remove it somehow? | 19:33 |
| user__ | you've removed it | 19:33 |
| laspahr | okie dokie lol | 19:33 |

| Guest45302 | super: And can't seem to do a complete removal of wine through synaptic | 19:34 |
| super | delete ~/.wine | 19:34 |
| user__ | Hey, has anyone of you tried running a Mac VM on ubuntu? | 19:35 |
| laspahr | eeee: what'd I do..? | 19:35 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I tried resolving this problem here last night, and you guys asked me to get screen shots, but I had problems posting them until now | 19:35 |
| super | it is in the /home/username/.wine | 19:35 |
| monoton | hello what is the command line command to check what graphics driver I'm using? | 19:35 |
| user__ | Hey, has anyone of you tried running a Mac VM on ubuntu? | 19:35 |
| super | sudo rm -rf ~/.wine Guest45302 | 19:35 |
| Guest45302 | super: I'm going to try that after the command you told me, aka sudo apt-get remove wine* | 19:35 |
| user__ | <Guest45302>, just go to google | 19:36 |
| laspahr | anybody know what happened? | 19:36 |
| laspahr | gzip: stdout: File too large | 19:36 |
| user__ | use apt-get autoremove | 19:36 |
| laspahr | me? | 19:36 |
| monoton | laspahr: what file are you zipping or onzipping or? | 19:37 |
| user__ | no <Guest45302> | 19:37 |
| monoton | *un | 19:37 |
| eeee | laspahr: i guess the file is too large to fit on the partition | 19:37 |
| laspahr | hmmm... | 19:37 |
| eeee | the one you mounted to /mnt | 19:37 |
| Nickd55345353 | is k3b good? | 19:37 |
| laspahr | it's like a ~300GB | 19:37 |
| eeee | laspahr: try df, and see whats up | 19:37 |
| eeee | Nickd55345353: supposedly the best | 19:37 |
| Nickd55345353 | better than brasero right? | 19:37 |
| laspahr | tried df, what do I need to look at | 19:38 |
| eeee | Nickd55345353: it can do more stuff i think | 19:38 |
| monoton | Nickd55345353: yes k3b it better they say, it is dependent on KDE though I belive. | 19:38 |
| Nickd55345353 | do u use it guys? | 19:38 |
| eeee | laspahr: available space on the filesystem mounted on /mnt | 19:39 |
| laspahr | there's not anything that's mounted on /mnt it says | 19:39 |
| * monoton still burns everything with Nero in winXP :-} | 19:39 | |
| laspahr | tried df /mnt and it's only got 2% used | 19:40 |
| laspahr | but the filesystem shows - | 19:40 |
| laspahr | so I need to remount the USB EHD? | 19:40 |
| andyroid | Hi | 19:41 |
| super | laspahr, echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan | 19:41 |

| guntbert | *on* <enter> | 19:41 |
| andyroid | I cannot get movile broadband to work. | 19:41 |
| laspahr | sorry guntbert /: | 19:42 |
| laspahr | super now what? | 19:42 |
| phunyguy | guntbert: laspahr: not to mention unopaste will mute! | 19:42 |
| andyroid | I fill in but it does not show up undwr connections | 19:42 |
| andyroid | Where can i say usb connections | 19:42 |
| andyroid | ? | 19:42 |
| eeee | andyroid: are we talking about iburst here ? | 19:42 |
| phunyguy | andyroid: the same applies to you, please ask your question clearly and in ONE line. | 19:42 |
| super | check to see if your devices is there | 19:43 |
| super | ls /dev/sd* | 19:43 |
| laspahr | yep, it has sda-sda8 and sdb-sdb2 | 19:43 |
| super | laspahr, google it welcome to the mole city | 19:43 |
| super | launch nautilus | 19:44 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I still have the same problem with my software updater: it is downloading unsupported updates, and I don't know if that is helping me or is a security risk | 19:44 |
| laspahr | I can't -.- | 19:44 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Also, I don't recall ever enabling unsupported updates | 19:44 |
| phunyguy | super: google what, and what about mole city? | 19:44 |
| SamwiseGamgee | why do I even need unsupported updates?\ | 19:45 |
| super | google is your map to mole city | 19:45 |
| SamwiseGamgee | all the apps I am using should be supported, as far as I know | 19:45 |
| andyroid | Ok.mobile broadband. Filled in provider and apn. Does not appear under connections. How can i view usb connections? | 19:45 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: they are backported updates | 19:45 |
| phunyguy | super: I still don't follow | 19:45 |
| SamwiseGamgee | yes, they are, whatever that means | 19:45 |
| GTB3NW | weird error.. on boot-up my internal speaker buzzes twice and weird random ascii characters appear. when I manually select the device to boot from (which is default) then it boots into grub fine O.o | 19:45 |
| laspahr | phunyguy I have a feeling he's telling me to google the problems rather than ask on here | 19:46 |
| super | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCVGbDf6Uws | 19:46 |
| SamwiseGamgee | and how come I never noticed before that I have been downloading unsupported updates? | 19:46 |
| phunyguy | super: please stay on topic, and don't ask people to google their answer | 19:46 |
| genii | GTB3NW: Sounds like some BIOS issue | 19:46 |
| SamwiseGamgee | If I disable downloading of unsupported updates, will some of my apps start causing problems? Or is it safer to leave them? | 19:46 |
| eeee | laspahr: type df | grep /mnt and paste the output here | 19:46 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: I am not certain, but app developers release fixes to their software, which will have to be backported to older versions to be merged into ubuntu releases | 19:47 |
| SamwiseGamgee | It just seems that I am doing too many updates too often, updates which are hogging a lot of memory | 19:47 |
| GTB3NW | genii, it's only just appeared, so it's some kind of update to grub..? | 19:47 |
| laspahr | eeee: df: /run/user No such File or directory | 19:47 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: updates don't hog memory - why do you believe that? | 19:47 |
| genii | GTB3NW: But from what you stated, the issue occurs before Grub starts | 19:48 |
| laspahr | df: /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd No such file or directory | 19:48 |
| eeee | laspahr: df | grep /mnt | 19:48 |
| laspahr | same | 19:48 |
| SamwiseGamgee | well, I just downloaded a bunch of updates, and after I installed them, 30 min later, I get another 64 MB of updates to download | 19:48 |
| GTB3NW | genii, well that may be so but this has only started happening after a dist-upgrade | 19:48 |
| GTB3NW | there was a kernel upgrade | 19:48 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: updates don't normally use additional memory, OR hard drive space. They replace existing files. The only thing that takes up space may be downloaded package cache | 19:49 |
| eeee | laspahr: lsblk | grep /mnt | 19:49 |
| andyroid | so how can i view what usb devices are connected? | 19:49 |
| phunyguy | andyroid: lsusb | 19:49 |
| guntbert | andyroid: lsusb | 19:49 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Does that mean I should be deleting files in the package cache regularly? | 19:50 |
| laspahr | sdb2 8:18 0 298G 0 part /mnt | 19:50 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: iirc it does that for you | 19:50 |
| genii | GTB3NW: You might want to do a memtest on your system, it's possible the RAM may be going. | 19:50 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: only if you are *very* tight on Hard Disk space | 19:50 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I got 466 GB of hard disk space | 19:50 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: look into the autoclean option of apt-get | 19:50 |
| SamwiseGamgee | and I am using xubuntu | 19:50 |
| SamwiseGamgee | how do I do that, phunyguy? | 19:51 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: then you should have plenty. What were you referencing with memory? | 19:51 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Referencing? | 19:51 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: sudo apt-get autoclean | 19:51 |
| Fishscene | sudo apt-get autoclean | 19:51 |
| eeee | laspahr: type ls /mnt/UbuntuBackup , is the UbuntuBackup.tar.gz there? | 19:51 |
| GTB3NW | genii, too coincidental IMHO | 19:51 |
| Fishscene | err… sorry for the double post Phunyguy. lol. | 19:51 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: yes when you mentioned you believed that updates were using too much memory | 19:52 |
| laspahr | eeee: yes it is | 19:52 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: he asked about what kind of "memory" you were taking: hard disk, RAM ? | 19:52 |
| guntbert | *talking | 19:52 |
| SamwiseGamgee | my hard drive's total capacity is about 466 GB | 19:52 |
| phunyguy | right, that is not "memory" hence the confusion. | 19:53 |
| phunyguy | that is hard drive space. Memory refers to RAM... | 19:53 |
| eeee | does anybody know how to get the uncompressed size of a tar.gz zipped archive ? | 19:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | man tar | 19:53 |
| phunyguy | and if you have 466GB hard drive space, then you should not be having any hard drive space issues. | 19:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | oops | 19:53 |
| genii | GTB3NW: It's almost impossible for an update to either Grub or to the kernel to affect your hardware prior to those things being loaded. You say this issue is happening before you choose a device to boot from, so neither is in memory yet. Random ascii characters on the screen are usually corrupt bios or corrupt video ram. | 19:54 |
| Lope | if I run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, and then I want to do apt-get install ... should I do another update before the install? | 19:54 |
| Lope | is it possible that dist-upgrade can change the apt sources? | 19:54 |
| phunyguy | Lope: you shouldn't need to | 19:54 |
| eeee | its in gzip | 19:54 |
| === dw2 is now known as dw1 | ||
| phunyguy | Lope: and no | 19:54 |
| Lope | ok | 19:54 |
| andyroid | So my mobile internet usb is listed with lsusb. But it is not shown under connections. I have fiven apn. Any ideas? | 19:55 |
| eeee | SchrodingersScat: gzip -l | 19:55 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Yeah, but I was thnking long-term, phunyguy, all those downloaded uupdates will add up, and I figure some of them may present stability or security problems if they are unsupported | 19:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | eeee: great, thanks | 19:55 |
| eeee | thanks anyways | 19:55 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: no, that shouldn't be a concern. | 19:55 |
| eeee | laspahr: type gzip -l /mnt/UbuntuBackup/Ubu....tar.gz | 19:55 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: if apt is doing what it should be doing, you should never be concerned with that | 19:55 |
| === Nickd55345353 is now known as Nicki3 | ||

| SamwiseGamgee | Is auto clean command safe and how often should I use it? | 19:55 |

| Nikki3 | can someone list me a good program for interior designing? | 19:56 |
| Nikki3 | ty | 19:56 |
| phunyguy | Nikki3: in Ubuntu? | 19:56 |

| Nikki3 | is it good? | 19:57 |
| phunyguy | Nikki3: I have no idea | 19:57 |
| phunyguy | Nikki3: you should just try it | 19:57 |
| Nikki3 | i am an architect | 19:57 |
| Nikki3 | so i need it for my worklol | 19:57 |
| andyroid | Do i need to supply netqirk id for mobile broasband? | 19:57 |
| phunyguy | Nikki3: then it is up to you to choose some to try, and then try them to see if they fit your needs. | 19:58 |
| GTB3NW | genii, no, this is happening after it tries to boot into grub | 19:59 |
| GTB3NW | when I don't select a device | 19:59 |
| GTB3NW | it picks the default device | 19:59 |
| GTB3NW | which errors | 19:59 |
| andyroid | Is it possible to surf via your smartphone? | 19:59 |
| GTB3NW | but when I select that same default.. | 19:59 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: I never use it at all, and I have only 30GB hard disk on some machines | 19:59 |
| GTB3NW | manually.. it works fine | 19:59 |
| phunyguy | GTB3NW: be careful before unopaste mutes you | 19:59 |
| hsnopi | so I'm working with ubuntu 12.04LTS in EC2. I see devices in /dev and fstab has a /dev/xvdb but there is no vdb or xvdb in /dev/ I think it is using /dev/xvda1 but I can't tell. Is there a way to somehow verify this? | 20:00 |
| SamwiseGamgee | thanks guntbert and phunyguy | 20:00 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: no problem :) | 20:00 |
| laspahr | eeee: does that help? | 20:00 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: my root partition only has 10GB. It's fine. | 20:00 |
| laspahr | or is it correct? | 20:00 |
| SamwiseGamgee | yeah, I was thinking of customizing my partitions when I was installing xubuntu, to better use the 466 GB of available memory | 20:02 |
| eeee | laspahr: | 20:02 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: not memory! Hard drive space! | 20:02 |
| genii | GTB3NW: If you think it's a Grub update, you can revert it by way of: sudo apt-get install grub=<prior version number here which I don't offhand know> | 20:02 |
| laspahr | eeee: ? | 20:03 |
| === __Rocky__ is now known as _Rocky_ | ||

| newbie|3 | Still a problem with wine - after sudo rm -rf ¬\.wine | 20:03 |
| eeee | sda7 or sdb7 | 20:03 |
| rbowlby | stupid question time: can I use a raring repo on trusty for a package that's not avail in trusty yet? | 20:03 |
| eeee | laspahr: run that and paste the line | 20:03 |
| newbie|3 | super: still a problem after rm -rf /.wine ... | 20:03 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: no. | 20:04 |
| bprompt | hsnopi: I have 12.04 not sure on the ec2 part... but I don't even have an xvda either, goes rom video0 to zero | 20:04 |
| laspahr | can't paste, but it's 18%.. I have to go so I can't give exact #s | 20:04 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: that will most likely break your package ystem | 20:04 |
| hsnopi | bprompt yeah. I figured that might be the case. thanks:) | 20:04 |
| eeee | 1690631174, whats the second set of numbers? | 20:04 |
| rbowlby | k1l_ any way to get this one pkg from raring? | 20:04 |
| rbowlby | hsqldb-server | 20:04 |
| eeee | laspahr: it should be less than that number i pasted above | 20:05 |
| rbowlby | this would often work on RH distros, I would just set the priority of the old repo such that it didn't interfere | 20:05 |
| laspahr | it is smaller, the middle is 8 digits | 20:05 |
| laspahr | 5+29++83 | 20:05 |

| eeee | in blocks | 20:06 |
| eeee | laspahr: sorry man | 20:06 |
| rbowlby | k1l_ ^ | 20:06 |
| eeee | laspahr: when you get back ask to see how to get the size of /home and compare, see ya | 20:07 |
| andyroid | How do i check mac addreas of my device? | 20:07 |
| newbie|3 | super: Any help ... E: wine1.6: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal | 20:07 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: there is a package without -server. you need that package with -server? | 20:08 |
| rbowlby | k1l_ I want the init script and ready to go daemonized goodies | 20:08 |
| rbowlby | or perhaps something else now provides /etc/init.d/hsqldb-server? | 20:09 |
| rbowlby | what's the equiv of yum provides? | 20:09 |
| bprompt | andyroid: try -> lshw -c Network | 20:09 |
| rbowlby | sorry, my debian distro experience is embarrassingly lacking | 20:09 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: sorry that is not my kind of business. did they eventually drop the -server package and include that into the main package? | 20:13 |
| rbowlby | not that I can tell | 20:14 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Phunyguy, guntbert, I still think there are some problems with my software updater settings, take a look....http://imgur.com/a/9baVi | 20:14 |
| rbowlby | it just hasn't been updated/built for trusty yet | 20:14 |
| SamwiseGamgee | sorry, phunyguy, http://imgur.com/a/9baVi | 20:15 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: I do not see a problem there | 20:15 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ok, phunyguy, I can leave them all the way they are? | 20:15 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: why do you think there may be an issue? | 20:16 |
| phunyguy | What makes you think that I mean? | 20:16 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Because it looks like my updaters settings were changed without my permission | 20:16 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: i doubt the " it just hasnt been build" idea. there will be no new packages for trusty because of the freeze in development stage | 20:16 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: I agree with phunyguy - lokks just like I have it - "unsupported" means that Canonical don't provide support | 20:16 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: that is the default. | 20:17 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: that updates tab is the default. | 20:17 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: so it may be that you are on the old path, with is the wrong path due to some changes. but that is only guessing on my side | 20:17 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ok, good, that means I can leave things alone and just keep updating without having to autoclean? | 20:17 |
| rbowlby | k1l_ the change log for trusty said no one has bothered to build/verify it yet | 20:17 |
| guntbert | SamwiseGamgee: exactly, you should be fine | 20:18 |
| rbowlby | I did an apt-file search /etc/init.d/hsqldb-server and nothing provides it. | 20:18 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: this was a new thing in the 12.04 release... from the notes: Backports are now more easily accessible -- to enable users to more easily receive new versions of software, the Ubuntu Backports repository is now enabled by default. Packages from backports will not be installed by default — they must explicitly be selected in package management software. However, once installed, packages from backports will automatically be upgraded to | 20:18 |
| phunyguy | newer versions. | 20:18 |
| sloppyf | Hey all. I remotely mounted a directory via ssh using sshfs. My problem is though, that I cannot actually view the contents of the directory without being root | 20:18 |
| phunyguy | SamwiseGamgee: that repository is how said backports get updated | 20:19 |
| sloppyf | I checked the permissions of the hard drive itself and all of that is okay (777) | 20:19 |
| rbowlby | k1l_ I doubt there's a better way of running hsqldb that doesn't at least include an init script. ¯\(ツ)/¯ | 20:19 |
| SamwiseGamgee | that sounds good, phunyguy | 20:19 |
| sloppyf | Anyone know what I need to do? | 20:19 |
| phunyguy | sloppyf: did you mount it as root? | 20:19 |
| k1l_ | rbowlby: well, no -server packages for trusty and utopic and i dont see why or that its missing. best is to file a bug and see what the maintainer says: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hsqldb | 20:20 |
| sloppyf | phunyguy: yes | 20:20 |
| phunyguy | sloppyf: then that is probably the issue | 20:20 |
| compdoc_ | sloppyf, the ownership of the dir ? | 20:20 |
| phunyguy | sloppyf: sshfs is a fuse filesystem, meaning you mount as an individual user. | 20:20 |
| sloppyf | ahh | 20:20 |
| genii | compdoc_: That's my suspicion, the shared files don't belong to the user trying to view them. | 20:21 |
| phunyguy | and iirc, sshfs also presents everything as being owned by the user mounting the share | 20:21 |
| phunyguy | sloppyf: so in this case, you mount as root, that makes all files owned by root, and if non-root users don't have +x permission to the directory, they cannot list contents | 20:22 |
| phunyguy | ....if that makes sense | 20:23 |
| sloppyf | phunyguy: it does. thank you | 20:23 |
| SamwiseGamgee | phunyguy, guntbert, thanks for explaining things so well | 20:24 |
| phunyguy | we aim to please. | 20:24 |
| phunyguy | on that note, I need to step away for a bit. | 20:25 |
| SamwiseGamgee | bonne journee | 20:25 |

| hsnopi | so, i have a device xvdb, i do a fdisk and create it as all one primary partition, i do fdisk -l and it shows a partition, then per some instructions i found I mkfs of type ext4, i do fdisk -l again and it shows no partition. yes I can still mount it. is the fdisk portion even necessary? | 20:30 |
| super | newbie|3, whats the question? wasn't here | 20:30 |
| super | hsnopi, so you want to mkfs.vfat or mkfs.ext /dev/sdX | 20:30 |
| hsnopi | ok | 20:31 |
| newbie|3 | super: I was Giest ... with the wine partial installation | 20:31 |
| hsnopi | thanks | 20:31 |
| super | oh okay newbie|3 you still stuck with the wine problem right | 20:31 |
| newbie|3 | yup | 20:31 |
| super | newbie|3, sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 20:32 |
| CrusaderAD | Anyone else finding empathy completely useless? | 20:32 |
| super | newbie|3, sudo apt-get --purge remove wine | 20:32 |

| newbie|3 | super: the problem now resides in wine1.6 | 20:33 |
| super | sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 20:33 |
| super | i say remove all traces of wine | 20:34 |
| CrusaderAD | I'm seeing two issues with empathy, 1.) the first incoming message is blank and 2.) the styles are initially broken on a fresh install... anyone know of a solution to #1? | 20:34 |
| brucelee | anyone know how to get ubuntu to not boot into a blankscreen | 20:34 |
| brucelee | it doesnt even show the grub menu | 20:34 |
| super | brucelee, hold down the Shift key | 20:34 |
| brucelee | it posts, and does all the bios stuff, raid stuff, and as soon as it gets to the part where its supposed to show grub screen, and then OS | 20:34 |
| brucelee | its just a blank screen | 20:34 |
| brucelee | super: ok let me try that | 20:34 |
| brucelee | super: whats that supposed to do? :P | 20:35 |
| genii | brucelee: If Ubuntu is the only OS, it won't show Grub by default. | 20:35 |
| daftykins | brucelee: there is no GRUB display anymore, not for years... as mentioned left shift at boot will display it. | 20:35 |
| super | it will bring up the grub menu | 20:35 |
| CrusaderAD | brucelee: do you get the same result booting to a usb live session? | 20:35 |
| brucelee | i havent tried usb live session | 20:35 |
| brucelee | let me try rebooting / shift key and see if it works | 20:35 |
| brucelee | right now im at a blank screen via console | 20:35 |
| CrusaderAD | brucelee: that will tell you if it's your install or not | 20:35 |

| brucelee | ok | 20:36 |
| brucelee | im pretty sure its my OS.. but let me try again | 20:36 |
| newbie|3 | super: Did that. Somewhat better, but still problem with wine 1.6 and winetricks | 20:36 |
| newbie|3 | super: Dependency problems | 20:37 |
| brucelee | i did it | 20:38 |
| super | newbie|3, rm -rf $HOME/.wine | 20:38 |

| genii | !nomodeset | brucelee | 20:39 |
| ubottu | brucelee: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:39 |

| brucelee | right now after the linux /vmlinuz line, its quiet splash nomodeset $vt_handoff | 20:40 |
| brucelee | yeah i tried the nomodeset one | 20:40 |
| brucelee | also tried consoleblank=0 | 20:40 |

| ubottu | Certain Ubuntu IRC channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 20:40 |
| brucelee | i dont know the exact one, but i can find out i guess | 20:40 |
| trijntje | !rm | 20:40 |
| ubottu | The Unix 'rm' command removes files and directories from the filesystem. It is an extremly powerful tool, and you should not run 'rm' commands unless you fully understand them. Do not run arbitrary 'rm' commands you see online. For a beginning guide on using terminal commands, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal and for a cautionary story about 'rm' see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_g0tyaIeE | 20:40 |

| CorruptedHelix | http://smashinglim.es/i/pfOyzN.png Any reason why this is grayed out on an Ubuntu guest machine? https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_running_shared_folders.html states it'll work with a Linux kernel version of 2.4 or higher, and I can only assume that Lubuntu does indeed have a kernel version higher than this. | 20:41 |

| brucelee | let me try that | 20:42 |

| zleap | what causes a dialog box in ubuntu 14.04 to say system problem detected, i am trying to help in #dcglug, system has been upgraded to 14.04 and now there seems to be lots of issues | 20:43 |
| brucelee | super, recoverymode seems to work, i see a bunch of stuff scrolling | 20:43 |
| guntbert | zleap: thats whoopsie, calls apport | 20:43 |
| brucelee | it gets to this part where it says "mei: Init hw failure" | 20:43 |

| zleap | if I try and report problems i don;t get any suggestion something has been sent, let alone how and to whom | 20:44 |
| brucelee | googling, and seems to be this "blacklist mei" option | 20:45 |
| zleap | ok so back to my system also says system problem detected, how do I work out what has caused the problem to cause apport to display the message | 20:45 |

| rickiestrick | hey guys. I was just in here talking about ssfs. It all worked great except that I could not write to the mounted directory. So I unmounted it and was just going to figure out what was going on. I later tried to mount it again but now I'm getting is, "fuse: bad mount point `/media/jr/pi/': Transport endpoint is not connected" | 20:49 |
| Beldar | newbie|3, Thanks, "is not responding" is a bit vague, why are you running it and can you explain in more detail? | 20:49 |
| rickiestrick | I can't delete the file as root because it says I don't have permissions....so does anyone know what is going on? | 20:50 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: sshfs? | 20:50 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: only gives perms to the original user, by default | 20:50 |
| newbie|3 | Beldar: super told me to see ls -a | grep wine to see if wine was still on my computer | 20:50 |

| rickiestrick | reisio: what does that do? | 20:51 |
| Beldar | newbie|3, Try ##wine | 20:51 |
| rickiestrick | unmount? | 20:51 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: sometimes it will work better than -u alone | 20:51 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: ah | 20:52 |
| Beldar | newbie|3, Sorry #winehq | 20:52 |
| newbie|3 | Beldar: Wine seems to be messing up the rest. Broken things, dependency problems | 20:52 |

| marcuy | I have installed language packs in U14.04 but none appear under the login screen language icon, any ideas? | 20:52 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: it worked. great! so why can't I write files to it? | 20:52 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: to what? | 20:52 |
| newbie|3 | Beldar: And for the moment, it is wine 1.6 that is sticking | 20:52 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: the remote directory I mounted | 20:52 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: you were trying to write as root to a mount mounted by non-root? | 20:53 |
| Beldar | newbie|3, I know nothing about wine and would never advise using, but I'm biased. | 20:53 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: no, I was just trying to drag and drop a file to it | 20:53 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: that's writing | 20:53 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: what user did you mount it as? What user did you drag and drop as? | 20:53 |
| super | Beldar, I run wine so I can play Starcraft 2 and guild wars | 20:53 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: yes, | 20:53 |

| newbie|3 | Beldar: Thx anyway and thx for the advice to change the channel | 20:54 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: I missread. I mounted it as the same user I am dragging files to it as | 20:54 |
| newbie|3 | bye | 20:54 |
| reisio | many win32 games actually perform better via Wine than under Windows proper | 20:54 |
| reisio | sad but true | 20:54 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: what does 'mount' say about it? | 20:54 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: what exact command do you want me to enter? I am new to all of this | 20:55 |
| rickiestrick | just mount? | 20:55 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: 'mount | grep -i name_of_mount' | 20:55 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: please hold | 20:56 |
| reisio | or just 'mount', but we only care about the one line dealing with the specific mount point in question | 20:56 |

| Beldar | pinPoint, Some do some don't be prepared for any contingency, most probably have no issue is my "guess" | 21:04 |

| reisio | rickiestrick: sudo chown yourUser:yourUser /media/jr/whatever/pi | 21:04 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: but if it were me, I'd use ~/pi instead of /media...blah | 21:04 |
| reisio | as /media is an odd place | 21:04 |

| rickiestrick | reisio: what do you mean? | 21:09 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: well I don't know what you're mounting | 21:09 |

| wuschLOR | yes didnt add any entry | 21:11 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: just experimenting :) | 21:11 |
| reisio | blarg2: well once you've booted the image, it's the same as any other live OS install | 21:11 |
| wagle | i cant upgrade my HWE, what do i do: http://pastebin.com/Vu6ZHm3q | 21:12 |
| wuschLOR | reisio i will try that | 21:12 |
| mustmodify | reisio: Any implications to selecting 32 vs 64 bit for image size, speed, etc? | 21:12 |
| reisio | blarg2: if you have a swap partition, put the image there, then you can install to the rest of the partition space, and afterwards turn it back into a swap partition | 21:12 |
| blarg2 | What image would I need? Just an install ISO? | 21:12 |
| reisio | blarg2: yup, any ordinary install image | 21:12 |
| blarg2 | just dd it to the partition? | 21:12 |

| Beldar | wagle, Are you trying to add the trusty stack to 12.04? | 21:13 |
| super | or use Disks to restored image | 21:13 |
| reisio | mustmodify: oh for virtualization | 21:13 |
| mustmodify | :P | 21:13 |
| wagle | Beldar: i think so | 21:13 |
| reisio | mustmodify: you won't notice either way, I'd do same arch personally | 21:13 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: when i use the recursive chown, do I need to do that remotely, to the point I have mounted the directory? Or on the remote machine itself? | 21:13 |
| reisio | mustmodify: unless you can do 64-bit in 32, 'cause then you could debug 64-bit problems as well | 21:14 |
| Beldar | wagle, You think so, where did you bet that install set and why? | 21:14 |
| Beldar | get* | 21:14 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: actually I doubt you want to do a chown -R | 21:14 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: then what should I use? | 21:14 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: so tell me again, you mount it, then you try to write it as the user you mounted with and you get ... what error? | 21:14 |
| wagle | Beldar: hwe-support-status --verbose gave it | 21:14 |
| Beldar | wagle, look here if the 14.04 stack is what you want in 12.04 and have not already put a stack in earlier. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 21:15 |

| wagle | I hate the 14.04 GUI, 12.04 is setup the way I want | 21:15 |

| yorwos | its usb keyboard/mouse wireless | 21:16 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: what's the ls -al output for pi ? | 21:17 |
| wagle | Beldar: ok, will read that for a bit | 21:17 |
| Beldar | wagle, You hate what exactly? unity if that is the issue is hardly different just a later model. | 21:17 |
| yorwos | the problem is the reconnection of the device has to be typed in somehow cause the keyboard wont work to type then | 21:17 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: should I run this command on the remote machine or the pi machine? | 21:17 |
| mustmodify | reisio: oh damn, now I need to download ubuntu. | 21:18 |
| reisio | mustmodify: :p | 21:18 |

| Beldar | wagle, Your arguments are vapid and assuming. ;) | 21:19 |
| wagle | Beldar: uh huh.. | 21:20 |
| wagle | Beldar: well thanks for giving real information mixed with bullshit | 21:20 |
| Beldar | wagle, This is support it entails exact info. | 21:20 |
| wagle | you asked why i didnt want to upgrade to 14.04.. i told you | 21:21 |
| yorwos | beldar nice idea , but how to turn it back on ? if it turns off the keyboard+mouse will stop functioning ! :D | 21:21 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: http://pastebin.com/S8FS8bCg | 21:21 |
| shellclear | my umask is 0027 ,but some programs create directories in my home with different permissions, for example FBreader, it create a directory in my home called .FBreader with permissions 755 | 21:21 |
| Beldar | yorwos, Ah so your all wifi mouse, keyboard and internet? | 21:22 |
| Technodrome | i swear i love deb based distros, but if apt-get is messed up , i use aptitutde and vice versa, seems so hit or miss sometimes | 21:23 |
| reisio | yarp | 21:23 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: and what dir for example can't you write to? | 21:23 |
| Beldar | yorwos, If you spread out info rather than state it in one post it will be missed on occasion. | 21:23 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: folder6 | 21:24 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: and your user is 'jr'? | 21:24 |
| yorwos | beldar my internet will stay on im using ethernet cables | 21:24 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: on the problem machine, yes | 21:25 |
| yorwos | i have to do it with a command like reconnect wifi in 15secconds | 21:25 |
| mustmodify | reisio: Can I uses the files in /boot in lieu of an install disk? I'm assuming not... | 21:25 |
| Beldar | yorwos, I think your worry on the usb port is unfounded, Use it correctly you should have no issue. | 21:25 |
| Beldar | yorwos, Use a hub even better | 21:26 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: okay | 21:26 |
| yorwos | thats clever ! ty :D | 21:26 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: not really sure why it's not mounting them as jr by default, but you can probably use sshfs' -o uid=# option | 21:26 |
| wuschLOR | reisio found the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558804 ;) much simpler | 21:26 |
| reisio | or -o idmap=user | 21:26 |
| reisio | wuschLOR: you have multiple hard drives? | 21:26 |
| reisio | oh you're truecrypt guy | 21:27 |
| wuschLOR | yep | 21:27 |
| reisio | gj | 21:27 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: when do I use that option? | 21:27 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: when you run 'sshfs...' | 21:28 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: what's jr's output of 'uid'? | 21:28 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: thanks. I'll try that now | 21:28 |
| reisio | of 'id', even | 21:28 |
| Technodrome | do any of you use aptitude exlusively? | 21:29 |
| rickiestrick | reisio: I need the full command. I haven't used uid but maybe once or twice. | 21:30 |
| Beldar | Technodrome, So far you have just commented this is actual support for real issue, not a polling channel. | 21:30 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: 'id' | 21:30 |
| Technodrome | sorry | 21:30 |
| Technodrome | just frustrated Beldar | 21:30 |
| Technodrome | had a dependecy issue | 21:30 |

| Beldar | Technodrome, If you have an issue state it we may be able to help. ;) | 21:30 |
| Technodrome | i fixed it | 21:30 |
| Technodrome | by just running the same command in aptitude and i hate that i had to do that | 21:30 |
| reisio | Technodrome: mmhmmm | 21:31 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: so you could try sshfs -o uid=1000 ...otherstuff | 21:31 |
| aboudreault | what can I do if grub-efi-amd64-signed refuse to install with/without secureboot disabled | 21:31 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: or sshfs -o idmap=user | 21:31 |
| rickiestrick | thanks. What was that unmount command you said that is the better option? | 21:32 |
| Beldar | aboudreault, What is the issue with disabling it? | 21:32 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: that was probably irrelevant | 21:32 |
| aboudreault | Beldar, same thing... got a backtrace at the package install | 21:33 |
| aboudreault | firmware bla bla bla | 21:33 |
| reisio | rickiestrick: just, if you find fusermount -u doesn't work, sometimes fusermount -uz will | 21:33 |
| reisio | much like umount and umount -l :) | 21:33 |
| Beldar | aboudreault, THat makes no sense at least to me. | 21:33 |

| newb | ok | 21:40 |
| k1l_ | newb: before investing any time in that make it to a actual supported ubuntu release | 21:40 |
| newb | i did to 14.04 | 21:41 |
| newb | it caused more issues | 21:41 |
| newb | i had to uninstall 14.04 | 21:41 |

| === billxinli is now known as billli | ||

| super | Geo, if you have dual cores or any of the x64 cpu download the 64 bit iso | 22:13 |
| reisio | Geo: 64-bit for 64-bit, 32 for 32, it's not rocket science :) | 22:13 |

| Geo | reisio, thanks, but that was not my question | 22:14 |
| reisio | Geo: yeah but I was answering, now questioning :p | 22:14 |
| genii | Geo: The default kernel is PAE so it should see more than 2Gb | 22:14 |

| ubottu | A netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 22:52 |

| brakson | Hey guys. I'm having trouble booting Windows 8.1 from grub. Can Anyone help me out? Here's a detailed description. http://pastie.org/9401251 | 23:25 |
| brakson | Both Linux and Windows work on my computer but in order for me to use Windows at this point I have to go into my BIOS and change the boot order. | 23:26 |
| newb | 4 minutes left. | 23:27 |
| super | brakson, if you want to dual boot windows and ubunt easiest way is to have both of them run on legacy mode and not uefi mode | 23:27 |
| brakson | super: thanks for the reply. I will try that. Why do you think it will boot in Legacy but not uefi? | 23:27 |
| super | you might have to look up uefi dual boot brakson | 23:28 |
| super | your windows 8 is preinstalled in UEFI mode | 23:28 |
| super | uefi allow your system to boot much faster but once you are inside windows the performance is about the same is if you select legacy mode | 23:29 |
| eeee | brakson: was ubuntu installed in uefi mode ? | 23:32 |
| newb | i made the changes to grub. | 23:32 |
| brakson | eeee: yes | 23:32 |
| newb | now what? | 23:33 |
| super | newb, are you in terminal screen? | 23:33 |
| newb | all i see is a blakc screen | 23:33 |
| newb | *black | 23:33 |
| newb | i did what you told me, too | 23:33 |
| super | ctrl+alt+f2 | 23:34 |
