| disappearedng | Hey where should I go if I have a question about make files? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| eeee | disappearedng: are you writing a make file for a program? | 00:04 |
| disappearedng | eeee: no I want to add an additional parameter to this makefile | 00:04 |
| eeee | it's in c right? try #c | 00:05 |
| disappearedng | eeee: eh not really, it's in #arduino but it's not really an arduino question more like gcc-make file question | 00:05 |
| aguitel | ubuntu 14.04.1 is up ? | 00:06 |
| eeee | disappearedng: man gcc? what exactly are you trying to do? | 00:06 |
| daftykins | aguitel: no | 00:07 |
| eeee | (i meant, "man gcc" the manual btw, not dissing gcc :-) | 00:07 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know what is the POSIX equivalent of this command? echo "body_text" | mailx -s "subject" -S smtp-use-starttls -S ssl-verify=ignore -S smtp-auth=login -S smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587 -S from="email_address" -S smtp-auth-user=email@gmail.com -S smtp-auth-password="pass" -S ssl-verify=ignore receiving_email_address | 00:07 |

| aguitel | OerHeks: daftykins thanks | 00:07 |
| mojtaba | It seems the -S option is not conform posix. | 00:08 |
| daftykins | mojtaba: off topic. | 00:08 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: do you know where can I find the answer? | 00:08 |
| daftykins | mojtaba: no, but please stop using this channel as your substitute for research and online searching :P | 00:09 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: Actually I could not find anything in google. | 00:10 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: thx anyway. | 00:10 |
| TheFlagCourier | Try searching with quotes around the -s flag. Otherwise search engines tend to exclude them (or anything with a negative in front, unless math) | 00:13 |
| disappearedng | eeee: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24856173/makefile-customizing-variables this is my question | 00:18 |
| daftykins | disappearedng: try in #linux also | 00:20 |
| iamwhoiam | hello people. Is archive.ubuntu.com down? cant seem to be able to make update (or install) work | 00:20 |
| daftykins | iamwhoiam: seems ok here, though that doesn't rule out our locations ^_^ | 00:21 |
| Shadow}} | Hello. BleachBit(As Root) keeps freezing during the cleaning of /var/cache/archives/blahblah. Is it safe to simply manually delete the contents of the /var/cache/archives (May be /var/archives/cache, Not sure sure now) | 00:21 |
| daftykins | Shadow}}: /var/cache/apt/archives/ would contain downloaded packages, these can be purged via "sudo apt-get clean" | 00:22 |
| daftykins | perhaps doing so prior would solve your issue | 00:22 |
| Shadow}} | Ah thats right. In fact think it was you who told me that the first time more or less... Least you were here helping me another issue at the time. | 00:22 |
| Shadow}} | *with. Thanks daftykins | 00:23 |
| daftykins | D: i don't recall that | 00:23 |
| daftykins | i'm a little worried there's another daftykins now | 00:23 |
| Shadow}} | Yeahh. Or you inputted on an issue I had involving network-manager or synapse bleeding edge... One of em. Hard to forget your nickname in only a week's time. | 00:24 |
| Shadow}} | Naww. Was you, Same attitude. Also the only other person I've seen use emotes here... Hah... | 00:24 |
| daftykins | XD | 00:25 |
| Shadow}} | Anyway. I got a jump scare when YouTube gave me Deja Vu and looped half a second of footage, So I'll see ya next time. o/ | 00:25 |
| Shadow}} | By that I mean I'm a very paranoid person for no reason other than reasons that exist, And find solitude in doing pointless security routines! Tata~ | 00:26 |

| Helsinkiii | hi. I'm running 12.04, and often when I'm loading many tabs at once, my whole system will crash and the only way out is a hard reset | 00:41 |
| Helsinkiii | I was wondering how to find the cause of the kernel panic | 00:42 |
| jay__ | hello. my internet is ridiculously slow and i don't know why. nothing has changed. our other laptop upstairs works perfectly with wifi. this laptop doesn't. i tried restarting the modem and router and then the pc. i'm outta ideas | 00:42 |
| Helsinkiii | and many tabs...in Firefox. my bad | 00:42 |
| === charles_ is now known as Guest57691 | ||
| jay__ | also, i'm on MX-14 a debian distro but not one there is answering me | 00:42 |
| daftykins | we do not support non-ubuntu, sorry. | 00:42 |
| jay__ | but it's a wireless issue :( | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | Helsinkiii, maybe your cheap router cannot handle such number of connections | 00:42 |
| daftykins | but wireless is controlled by software, which is the OS :( | 00:43 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, it only happens on this machine | 00:43 |
| jay__ | dangit. thanks anyways | 00:43 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, this computer is connected to wifi via a PCI card that I recall to be almost impossible to get working properly | 00:44 |
| OerHeks | Helsinkiii, another step: try memtest86 to see if ram is failing? | 00:44 |
| Shadow}} | Is it "sudo apt-get clean"? | 00:45 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, I'll run it now, will get back to you in a few | 00:45 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, thanks | 00:45 |
| OerHeks | Helsinkiii, if wired gives no issues, then it could be your wificard | 00:45 |
| OerHeks | that would be step 3 | 00:45 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, i wish I could get a wire up here | 00:45 |
| victoria__ | hello | 00:45 |
| victoria__ | i need some help with 14.04 | 00:45 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, do the hard crashes do anything bad to my system? | 00:45 |
| victoria__ | i am a dummie pls | 00:45 |
| victoria__ | wlan | 00:46 |
| victoria__ | iwconfig | 00:46 |
| OerHeks | Helsinkiii, a softwarecrash is unlikely to make hardware errors | 00:46 |
| daftykins | victoria__: ask a question on one line | 00:46 |
| victoria__ | okey thanks | 00:46 |
| Shadow}} | daftykins: Is it "sudo apt-get clean"? | 00:46 |
| daftykins | Shadow}}: yep | 00:46 |
| Shadow}} | daftykins: Isn't working. o.o | 00:47 |
| Shadow}} | Which is odd cause I know it works...done it a few times before. | 00:47 |
| daftykins | are you sure it's not empty already | 00:47 |
| daftykins | you know running it won't produce any output, right? | 00:47 |
| Shadow}} | What? Really? I swear last time I watched it delete stuff. | 00:48 |
| Shadow}} | Thanks anyway xD | 00:48 |
| Shadow}} | Oh wait, That was "Details" on the updates I did just before the clean... | 00:48 |
| victoria__ | anybody who knows about wlan0 pls | 00:49 |
| Shadow}} | victoria__, They can't help you less you phrase the problem about wlan itself. | 00:50 |
| daftykins | victoria__: ok so "ifconfig -a" lists no wireless interface huh? you need to identify your wireless hardware and potentially install a driver to enable it | 00:50 |
| victoria__ | hum | 00:51 |
| daftykins | ah no you do get an interface | 00:51 |
| victoria__ | wait, please let me see | 00:51 |
| Shadow}} | Nvm apparently daftykins is an exception? Lets see... I updated everything, I cleaned everything... Hm... Oh, is it "sudo service network-manager restart"? | 00:52 |
| victoria__ | huh? i dont understand, sorry i am a dummie | 00:52 |
| victoria__ | please, i need step by step: so like "copy and put" | 00:53 |
| daftykins | i'm way too tired for that | 00:53 |
| victoria__ | please | 00:53 |
| Shadow}} | Wait dafty! Is that line I said correct? Before you run off. o-o | 00:54 |
| victoria__ | who can i see which driver i need | 00:54 |

| PCworker | Beldar: Thanks, just wanted to know that I was doing it right. | 01:02 |
| Beldar | PCworker, always good to be sure. | 01:03 |
| Nordom | Anyone experied with VT-d stuff and Xen? I just want to pick someones brain about the topic | 01:04 |
| daftykins | Xen's not even really the recommended virt tech to use on ubuntu | 01:04 |
| daftykins | victoria__: "rfkill list all | pastebinit" | 01:05 |
| victoria__ | okes, thanki you i try it now | 01:05 |
| victoria__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7827825/ | 01:07 |
| Nordom | Daftykins why do you say that? | 01:07 |
| daftykins | because they chose to back KVM | 01:07 |
| victoria__ | i think it have to be appear "no" on the hard blocked, right? | 01:07 |
| daftykins | yes | 01:08 |
| daftykins | victoria__: your wireless switch is turned off | 01:08 |
| victoria__ | so, how can i turned it on | 01:08 |
| victoria__ | i don't know that | 01:08 |
| daftykins | it's either a sliding button somewhere or a keypress of Fn+ a function key (F1 - F12) | 01:09 |
| victoria__ | nothing happend on my dell lap top | 01:11 |
| victoria__ | the "wireless" button is doesn't work :$ | 01:11 |
| daftykins | so you identified it? | 01:12 |
| victoria__ | well, i see the button here "F2" in my case...but nothing happend, the other button are working normally | 01:13 |
| cak_salim | Hi there, has anyone ever used dropbox api? | 01:13 |
| daftykins | victoria__: and you used "Fn" with it? | 01:13 |
| daftykins | cak_salim: third party software is off topic i'm afraid | 01:13 |
| victoria__ | on the same time? so tried- nothing happend | 01:13 |
| cak_salim | ok | 01:13 |
| daftykins | victoria__: re-run the rfkill command to see if it changed | 01:14 |
| victoria__ | just "rfkill" ? | 01:14 |
| daftykins | no same as before | 01:14 |
| victoria__ | ohhhhhhhhh | 01:15 |
| daftykins | i'm guessing that's a pleased shock | 01:15 |
| victoria__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7827855/ | 01:15 |
| Nordom | daftykins: I did a search on google for xen problems on ubuntu and surpisingly found very few | 01:15 |
| victoria__ | i feel very stupid :$ | 01:16 |
| daftykins | Nordom: yep nobody uses it :D | 01:16 |
| victoria__ | and now? my i going to the root and then "reboot"? | 01:16 |
| daftykins | victoria__: if you click on network manager do you see networks now? | 01:16 |
| victoria__ | so easyyyyyy | 01:16 |
| feitingen | Nordom: we used it many years ago, and moved on to libvirt | 01:16 |
| victoria__ | oh my god, and i was lucking for a solution on the internet for hours! | 01:17 |
| victoria__ | thank you daftykins!!! | 01:17 |
| victoria__ | :* | 01:17 |
| victoria__ | :$ | 01:17 |
| daftykins | no problem, you may bake me a cake as a thank you | 01:17 |
| victoria__ | ehehehe | 01:17 |
| Nordom | feitingen: what is libvirt? | 01:18 |
| feitingen | Nordom: a wrapper around qemu/kvm, makes life a bit easier | 01:20 |
| Nordom | feitingen: for Ubuntu or a different OS? | 01:20 |
| feitingen | Nordom: linux in general :) http://libvirt.org/ | 01:21 |
| Nordom | well I am planning on making a linux gaming machine using vt-d and wanted to pick peoples brains about it | 01:22 |
| === jack is now known as Guest59438 | ||
| Nordom | daftykins said it was a bad idea with ubuntu | 01:22 |
| Nordom | and thats all I have collected so far | 01:22 |
| daftykins | nah i just meant it's not supported | 01:23 |
| tlanix | iam trying to decide between ubuntu and manjaro | 01:23 |
| tlanix | iam looking for a good usb writer program | 01:24 |
| Nordom | daftykins: do you think I will encounter lots of problems? I first used ubuntu, and would prefer to stick with it if possible | 01:24 |
| === josh is now known as AJosh | ||
| feitingen | Nordom: doesn't matter, passing graphics cards to VM's are not supported anyways | 01:24 |
| TJ- | feitingen: Yes it is | 01:24 |
| Nordom | TJ-: WB | 01:24 |
| daftykins | tlanix: 'usb writer' - do you mean to put an ISO onto a flash drive and make it bootable? | 01:24 |
| TJ- | feitingen: Both Xen and QEMU have do VT-d passthrough | 01:24 |
| TJ- | s/have/can/ | 01:25 |
| tlanix | yes | 01:25 |
| feitingen | TJ-: there has been efforts passing through a secondary graphics card on KVM, but i can't seem to uninitialize the primary graphics card so it can be passed through | 01:26 |
| daftykins | i'm going to guess that it's a headless server | 01:26 |
| daftykins | and that you're not trying to reallocate an in-use card XD | 01:26 |
| daftykins | oh, wrong user anyway | 01:27 |
| daftykins | nevermind | 01:27 |
| GeekDude | running "screen -D -m <thing>" is freezing my ssh session for some reason. Simple fix? | 01:27 |
| TJ- | feitingen: No, you can't pass the primary since the host needs it in most cases for its console, unless it is totally headless, but for additional GPUs passthrough is entirely possible | 01:28 |
| TJ- | feitingen: E.g. I have 3 GPUs on my laptop and can pass 2 to VM guests via VT-d passthrough | 01:28 |
| koell | TJ-: what do you do in the VM guests? playing games? :D | 01:31 |
| GeekDude | lowercase d | 01:31 |
| GeekDude | got it | 01:31 |
| Nordom | TJ-: feitingen: I dont understand most of your conversation, but from my limited knowledge by utilizing VT-d capable CPU and mobo you can utilize the GPU in the VPM as the VM has the drivers installed not the main OS. And VT-d basically allows the VM to point at main OS (or maybe the otherway around) so the main OS can see the GPU info and send it to the correct PCI slot.... (but l'm nub) | 01:31 |
| feitingen | TJ-: that's what i meant, you can't pass through the primary one, even if it's totally headless | 01:31 |
| TJ- | koell: Not into playing games, I use them as tools for development work of various kinds... e.g. fully testing builds of Ubuntu in-development packages to assure that accelerated graphics bugs are fixed, whilst still having full control of the system from the host | 01:32 |
| rawfodog | I'm trying to install ubuntu one client on my windows pc to get my files off the soon to be discontinued service. The program is unavailable for download now. What can I do? the webclient wont batch download, its going to take me hours to do it manually | 01:34 |
| feitingen | Nordom: yes, but you need at least two GPUs, one for the server, the rest for the VM(s) | 01:34 |
| TJ- | Nordom: Unless the system is headless (has only a serial or network console and no video drivers in the kernel), then the primary VGA chipset will be used by the host. However, Xen 4.x can passthrough the primary VGA. | 01:36 |
| feitingen | TJ-: might be fun to have a go at android-x86, the latest 4.4-rc2 is pretty good | 01:36 |
| allons-y | hi | 01:37 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, hey, ran it for nearly 50 minutes, got 0 errors. | 01:37 |
| allons-y | I get a Missing operating system error when I try to boot from a USB | 01:37 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, i remember running it in the past for a few hrs and I also got 0 errors | 01:37 |
| allons-y | What I want to do is to install Ubuntu from that USB | 01:37 |
| TJ- | feitingen: I think I have enough on my plate :) | 01:37 |
| feitingen | allons-y: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ i use this one | 01:38 |
| Helsinkiii | OerHeks, my question is...how do I know it's a wifi driver issue and not a kernel issue? Can it simply be a misunderstanding between both and not necessarily a problem with either one? | 01:38 |
| allons-y | Also I did feitingen | 01:38 |
| Rexter | I'm getting my ass kicked on installing a Canon printer. | 01:39 |
| feitingen | allons-y: did you "eject" or "safely remove" the usb after you made it bootable? | 01:39 |
| Rexter | It's a pixma MX922, it works perfectly on my 14.04 machine, but I can't finder the driver on my 12.04 machine. | 01:39 |
| allons-y | sure | 01:39 |
| allons-y | safely remove | 01:39 |
| allons-y | Formated as FAT32 | 01:40 |
| allons-y | It's a BIOS problem | 01:40 |
| allons-y | What it does (my pc) when I turn it on | 01:40 |
| allons-y | and with the USB stick on | 01:41 |
| allons-y | and with the right configuration of the BIOS in order to boot from USB | 01:41 |
| allons-y | is put that message | 01:41 |
| allons-y | "Missing operating system" | 01:41 |
| allons-y | just for one second | 01:41 |
| andrej | I have a couple of machines that need a kernel patch which hasn't made it into mainstream (yet?) ... are there any frameworks in Ubuntu that will allow for an automatic patch & rebuild when a new kernel gets applied via security/update? | 01:41 |
| allons-y | and then goes to grub | 01:41 |
| TJ- | allons-y: did you set the boot active flag on the partition on the USB device? | 01:41 |
| allons-y | TJ-: I used unetbootin, so I guess that the program did it | 01:42 |
| Rexter | I have a Pixma MX922 printer. I'm trying too install on Ubuntu 12.04. I can't find the driver. | 01:42 |
| feitingen | Rexter: usb? | 01:42 |
| TJ- | allons-y: It's worth checking, I dealt with a fail-to-boot issue last week which turned out to be a buggy BIOS that won't boot from a device unless it has a primary partition with its boot flag set | 01:43 |
| Rexter | feitingen, No network. | 01:43 |
| allons-y | TJ-: mmm interesting, How can I check it? | 01:43 |
| Rexter | feitengen, I also have another machine running 14.04, and it pretty much installed on it's own, and works great. I can see it on the network from 12.04, but I can't finder the right driver. | 01:44 |
| === Synchunk` is now known as Synchunk | ||
| Rexter | feitingen, I even tried using the PPD file I stole from the 14.04 machine, but I didn't get a anywhere with using that. | 01:45 |
| feitingen | Rexter: i'm guessing you're not at liberty to install 14.04 on it? | 01:45 |
| daftykins | Rexter: via the CUPS web admin? | 01:45 |
| TJ- | allons-y: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdX" and look for the asterisk next to a partition | 01:46 |
| feitingen | Rexter: i'm no good with cups, so i'd try installing the cups packages from 14.04. | 01:46 |
| daftykins | that's... terrible advice | 01:47 |
| daftykins | i like it | 01:47 |
| Rexter | feitingen, daftykins, it may come to that, but not ready to do so yet. Yes I'm using the system-config-printer utility. | 01:47 |
| Rexter | feitingen, how would I do that? | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Rexter: have you tried "http://localhost:631/" ? | 01:48 |
| Rexter | TJ, I don't understand what you mean? | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Rexter: The CUPS management interface | 01:48 |
| daftykins | Rexter: remember the CUPS web admin i asked if you'd used? yeah. that. | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Rexter: You may be able to install/customise the drivers better from there | 01:49 |
| Rexter | TJ, daftykins, sorry I didn't know there was such a thing | 01:49 |
| Rexter | TJ, daftykins, would it show additional drivers? | 01:50 |
| andrej | OK, failing an existing framework for patching ... :) | 01:50 |
| TJ- | Rexter: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/cups.html#cups-web | 01:50 |
| andrej | Are there ways to add hooks to installation processes that aren't part of the maintainers dpkg? | 01:50 |
| andrej | E.g., if a new kernel DOES get installed via apt I'd like to pull the source , apply a patch, if the patch work build a kernel | 01:51 |
| daftykins | Rexter: take a look before asking further ;) | 01:51 |
| daftykins | andrej: that would be beyond the scope of this channel | 01:52 |
| andrej | daftykins : oh, ok ... do you know of a channel where this might be in scope? | 01:52 |
| Rexter | daftykins, the set up is close to the same, but the same problem persists. The proper driver is not listed. If I steel the PPD file from my 14.04 machine, why wouldn't that work? | 01:53 |
| TJ- | andrej: Look at "/etc/kernel/postinst.d/" | 01:53 |
| daftykins | andrej: i'd say #linux but the dpkg involvement would speak of debian to me, worth a try though | 01:53 |
| daftykins | Rexter: i'd bet you could add a printer and specify a PPD | 01:54 |
| andrej | TJ- ta, I'll check | 01:54 |
| allons-y | TJ-: there's an asterisc under Boot | 01:54 |
| Rexter | daftykins, yea, that's what I did, but it still doesn't print. the print que says can't connect. | 01:55 |
| allons-y | http://ubuntuliving.blogspot.com.es/2008/11/missing-operating-system-step-by-step.html this may help | 01:55 |
| TJ- | allons-y: OK... so check there is a valid boot sector in the MBR... do "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C" and compare it to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7827972/ | 01:56 |
| allons-y | ok | 01:56 |
| TJ- | allons-y: If you don't see those characteristic mentions of GRUB then the device is missing its MBR | 01:56 |
| daftykins | Rexter: check the queue name is the same between | 01:56 |
| allons-y | TJ-: there is no mentions of GURB | 01:58 |
| allons-y | only Operating systm load error | 01:58 |
| TJ- | allons-y: There's your problem then. The boot loader was probably installed to a different device. | 01:58 |
| allons-y | Multiple active partitions | 01:58 |
| allons-y | aham | 01:58 |
| Rexter | daftykins, you mean, between my 14.04 machine, and the 12.04? | 01:59 |
| allons-y | device? | 01:59 |
| TJ- | allons-y: "Operating System load error" ? That sounds like text from another boot-loader entirely | 01:59 |
| allons-y | :S | 01:59 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Is it supposed to have syslinux boot-loader on there? | 02:00 |
| daftykins | Rexter: so what does Canon offer for this printer? :) | 02:00 |
| allons-y | I... don't know | 02:00 |
| Rexter | daftykins, 0, zip nada. we hate you go away | 02:00 |
| daftykins | Rexter: i thought you were saying that to me for a moment! ;_; | 02:00 |
| daftykins | Rexter: i gotta call it a night though i'm afraid | 02:01 |
| Rexter | lol, no no, I appreciate your help | 02:01 |
| daftykins | good luck \o | 02:01 |
| TJ- | allons-y: I think the answer is "yes": syslinux/mbr/mbr.S:292: .ascii "Operating system load error.\r\n" | 02:01 |
| roflmanjaro | Hello | 02:01 |
| TJ- | allons-y: So the device isn't booting for some other reason, it has the sylinux boot-loader on though | 02:01 |
| Rexter | daftykins, http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx522#DriversAndSoftware | 02:01 |
| brucelee | when i download a ppa, its supposed to be protected by a signing key, how does this protect it? | 02:02 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Does the PC have UEFI or BIOS ? | 02:02 |
| psusi | allons-y, make sure you are looking at the right drive and not your usb stick, which uses syslinux | 02:02 |
| TJ- | allons-y: I'm wondering if you've got a UEFI boot-loader issue, possibly need to choose a legacy/CSM boot | 02:02 |
| Rexter | daftykins, sorry wrong model, http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx922?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware | 02:02 |
| allons-y | I think it has BIOS | 02:02 |
| roflmanjaro | does the new ubuntu LTS 14.04 offer luks encryption in the installer? 12.04 didnt | 02:02 |
| allons-y | now I'm confused | 02:02 |
| psusi | brucelee, the same way the main archive does: the packages are signed by the author/packager and the signature is verified prior to installing a package | 02:03 |
| allons-y | the right drive? | 02:03 |
| allons-y | you mean when doing the fdisk? | 02:03 |
| Rexter | daftykins, thanks for pointing me to the cups web admin though. That's cool | 02:03 |
| psusi | allons-y, and the dd where you found the syslinux strings | 02:03 |
| roflmanjaro | does the new ubuntu LTS 14.04 offer luks encryption in the installer? 12.04 didnt | 02:03 |
| roflmanjaro | does 14.04 lts offer encryption in the installer | 02:03 |
| rww | roflmanjaro: yes | 02:04 |
| jay_why_bee | I have a video problem, I cannot quite solve. Lubuntu 13.10 running on VMware ESXi gives me graphic anomalies on any res except 800x600. | 02:04 |
| iceman | you brazil | 02:04 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Does the PC have any other Linux installations? | 02:04 |
| roflmanjaro | and also, i will be buying anew laptop, will installing in UEFI mode pose any problems? | 02:04 |
| roflmanjaro | my last laptop was bricked by installing Fedora in UEFI | 02:04 |
| jay_why_bee | It is running LXDE, and the anomalies look like refresh problems were the screen repeats itself. | 02:04 |
| allons-y | It has only a partition with Ubuntu | 02:04 |
| TJ- | allons-y: On the hard disk you mean? | 02:05 |
| allons-y | yes | 02:05 |
| psusi | allons-y, is it the right size? make sure it isn't your usb stick | 02:05 |
| allons-y | I don't understand you psusi | 02:05 |
| jay_why_bee | The same image repeat happens if I am viewing via VNC or the Console. | 02:05 |
| brucelee | psusi: so the creator of the PPA is supposed to sign it using their private key, which nobody else has. What about the PPA signing key listed in launchpad | 02:05 |
| TJ- | allons-y: OK, so we are clear, the hard disk has Ubuntu on it, and there's a *single* USB flash device which has the ubuntu installer on put there by unetbootln? | 02:05 |
| psusi | allons-y, if you are booting from an 8 gb usb stick and fdisk says the disk is only 8gb, then you are looking at the usb stick, not your hard disk | 02:06 |
| allons-y | that's right TJ- | 02:06 |
| brucelee | psusi: what does that number represent? if that number is the key, then everyone has the key that was used to sign that package right? | 02:06 |
| TJ- | allons-y: OK... so I'm guessing something went wrong with the USB creation step | 02:06 |
| psusi | brucelee, that would be the key of whoever owns the ppa | 02:06 |
| allons-y | yes, and I was looking at the USB before | 02:06 |
| brazzo1 | hey folks, i just installed the first harry potter game (and the soccerers stone) with wine and when i try to start the crack nothing happens. it was my first application i installed with wine and the autorun.exe works (but just with cd) . Does somebody got an idea whats my mistake ? | 02:06 |
| psusi | brucelee, that is the *public* key | 02:06 |
| brucelee | psusi: i see | 02:07 |
| allons-y | TJ-: that could not be possible, the USB works in other PCs | 02:07 |
| brucelee | psusi: why would they distribute the public key, whats the point of it? | 02:07 |
| Jeffrey_f | brucelee: the signing key ensures that the files in the repository are not modified by checking the file hash. If the file hash matches the one stored remotely, your downloads have not been modified outside of the software change management. ............Meaning, it would be difficult for the repository source and programs to have been messed with (virus, malware, etc) | 02:07 |
| Rexter | I have a Pixma MX922, on the Network. I have two Ubuntu machines. One 12.04, one 14.04. the 14.04 machine found, and connected to the printer with no problem. The 12.04 machine doesn't have the correct driver available. | 02:07 |
| psusi | brucelee, in public key crypto, keys come in linked pairs.. what you encrypt with one can only be decrypted with the other in the pair.. so one you keep private, and one you tell everyone... you can sign something with the private key, and anyone can use the public key to verify the signature, or they can use the public key to encrypt something that only the owner of the private key can decrypt | 02:08 |
| brucelee | Jeffrey_f: how does the signing key (public key) relate to the file hash? | 02:08 |
| brucelee | Jeffrey_f: the file hash has nothing to do with the signing key (public key) right? | 02:08 |
| psusi | brucelee, the signature is simply the file hash that has been encrypted using the private key, so others use the public key to decrypt it, compute their own hash, and verify they match | 02:09 |
| Jeffrey_f | brucelee: To fully understand cryptography and private key/public key cryptography, you need to read up on it http://www.pgpi.org/doc/pgpintro/ | 02:09 |
| brucelee | ah i se | 02:09 |
| Jeffrey_f | psusi: +1 | 02:09 |
| brucelee | Jeffrey_f: thanks | 02:09 |
| TJ- | brucelee: the hash is signed by the private key and the detached signature is then verified by the client, and then the validated has is compared against a hash generated by the client of the same package | 02:09 |
| brucelee | psusi: thanks | 02:09 |
| brucelee | very interesting | 02:10 |
| brucelee | so that number known as the "signing key" is the signature? | 02:10 |
| brucelee | or the public key | 02:11 |
| gdeeble | Anyone here have experience with Ser2net? | 02:11 |
| psusi | public key | 02:11 |
| brucelee | the "fingerprint" is the file hash right? | 02:11 |
| Rexter | I'm looking for soome help getting my new Pixma MX922 printer installed on 12.04 | 02:11 |
| psusi | no, the fingerprint is a shorter but unique representation of the key | 02:11 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Hmmm... then you've got another type of bug in the BIOS which I discovered/patched in syslinux some time ago now, whereby the BIOS passes the wrong drive number to the boot-loader causing it to fail to find its own device | 02:11 |
| brucelee | ok i see | 02:11 |
| brazzo1 | oh yeah thx for all the help -.- | 02:11 |
| jay_why_bee | Looking for help with VMware Lubuntu (LXDE) video issues. Any resolution over 800x600 causes the image to duplicate (except with I move the mouse over it). | 02:11 |
| Jeffrey_f | brucelee: your private key + another public key creates either a hash or an encrypted message......Simply: you send me a message encrypted with your private key and my public key......I can not decrypt it unless I have my private key and your public key | 02:12 |
| jay_why_bee | This VM works fine for months... then I think it took an update that changed this behavior. | 02:12 |
| brucelee | so in launchpad ppa, how do you find what the signature is? when your client decrypts the file hash using the "signing key", you compare that file hash value with launchpad's "signature" right? where would you get this | 02:12 |
| allons-y | TJ-: it's not the first time I install Ubuntu on that PC using an USB | 02:12 |
| allons-y | but it's the first time that it fails | 02:13 |
| psusi | Jeffrey_f, no... to send an encrypted message I only need your public key, don't need my own unless I want you to send a reply encrypted or to sign | 02:13 |
| wizard | i have ubunti installed rt now from usb | 02:13 |
| wizard | hmmm | 02:13 |
| TJ- | brucelee: Launchpad > generate key-pair > keep private key hidden > publish PPA public key > build binary package > calculate hash of package > sign hash with private key >>> client download >> verify signature using public key >> calculate hash >> compare with received hash == success | 02:13 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Did you use unetbootln the last time? | 02:14 |
| Jeffrey_f | psusi: Hmm.....oops, right 8-) | 02:14 |
| psusi | brucelee, the package manager does it automatically... | 02:14 |
| brucelee | ah ok | 02:14 |
| allons-y | yes | 02:14 |
| brucelee | thanks guys | 02:14 |
| wizard | question anyone use reaver here? | 02:14 |
| allons-y | no | 02:14 |
| allons-y | sorry no | 02:14 |
| allons-y | I used LiLi USB creator | 02:15 |
| allons-y | or something like that | 02:15 |
| TJ- | allons-y: That might indicate the issue some form of incompatibility with that BIOS and unetbootln's way of installing the boot loader | 02:15 |
| allons-y | but I've also tried LiLi USB creator (today) | 02:16 |
| allons-y | it doesn't matter what software I use | 02:16 |
| allons-y | I always get the same error | 02:16 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Then there's something more fundamental going on. Without having hands-on its hard to figure out what | 02:16 |
| allons-y | hm | 02:17 |
| TJ- | allons-y: Try buring a real DVD/CD and booting from that maybe? | 02:18 |
| allons-y | right now I don't have any DVDs xD | 02:19 |
| eeee | allons-y: try a different usb port, i doubt it cuz it's picking up the usb, but it's worth a shot nonetheless | 02:24 |
| allons-y | already did it | 02:24 |
| allons-y | how about booting via GRUB? | 02:24 |
| === linuxuz3r is now known as jazzmac | ||
| brucelee | psusi: i guess whats confusing me is how this relates to how SSL encryption works? I was under the impression that its the same way | 02:26 |
| brucelee | psusi: is there no relationship? | 02:26 |
| psusi | allons-y, ohh, you can't boot from the usb stick? I thought you couldn't boot from the hd after installing? | 02:26 |
| allons-y | oh | 02:26 |
| allons-y | ok psusi xD | 02:26 |
| psusi | brucelee, ssl uses the same underlying algorithm, but ssl is an interactive protocol for securing a tcp connection | 02:27 |
| dsprc | after i authenticate to lightdm, xfce4-session doesn't seem to fire and I am just presented with the default xubuntu wallpaper and have no windows manger etc. any ideas how to remedy this? | 02:27 |
| Jeffrey_f | brucelee: SSL is a bit different, but is meant to secure an end-to-end encrypted link | 02:27 |
| brucelee | ok | 02:28 |
| Jeffrey_f | brucelee: similar, but meant for communications | 02:28 |
| RP_2 | Hello, I upgraded hardware enablement stack on 12.04 and now my display setup is broke. I have nvidia drivers installed I think. | 02:28 |
| jay_why_bee | I cannot figure out why my video at 1024x768 doesn't appear to refresh properly. It keeps duplicating windows horizontally until I move a window over top (to cause it to refresh). | 02:29 |
| sirajperson | Okay.... So here I am doing my normal fooling around and I found a real problem | 02:29 |
| sirajperson | open two terminal windows | 02:29 |
| jay_why_bee | But then it just pops back to duplicating again. | 02:29 |
| sirajperson | enter command $ tty | 02:30 |
| sirajperson | be sure to pay attention to the terminal number | 02:30 |
| psusi | brucelee, with ssl, typically the server has an x.509 certificate, which is their key plus identity information, that is signed by a so called "certificate authority"... i.e. a company that browser vendors trust to verify the identity of the web site operator before signing their certificate ( for a fee ).. the browser verifies the CA signature from a CA the browser trusts, then uses the site's public key to encrypt a regular symetric key and sends it to the | 02:30 |
| psusi | server, and from then on, they use that symetric key to encrypt all traffic | 02:30 |
| sirajperson | in a second terminal, use the cat command to break the first one: $ cat < /dev/pts/x where x is the terminal number | 02:31 |
| sirajperson | instantly the original terminal begins to miss chars and instead places them into the cat reading terminal | 02:31 |
| icesword | hello rww | 02:32 |
| sirajperson | essentially in a multi user environment you could break everyones command line from user space... | 02:32 |
| brucelee | psusi: very clear.. thanks for the explanation | 02:32 |
| sirajperson | how can on protect from this? | 02:32 |
| icesword | where can i order ubuntu CDs | 02:32 |
| psusi | sirajperson, in a multi-user environment, the permissions on the tty are set so that only the user logged on to it can do that | 02:33 |

| rww | icesword: http://store.canonical.com/ | 02:35 |
| icesword | since i've been supporting ubuntu since 2007, rww, would there be any discounts | 02:35 |
| rww | icesword: no | 02:36 |
| icesword | why | 02:36 |
| icesword | they used to be free | 02:36 |
| psusi | icesword, you can download it for free | 02:36 |
| rww | icesword: If you have questions about Canonical Store, please talk to Canonical. Their form for such is http://shop.canonical.com/contact_us.php | 02:36 |
| hasek79 | anytime i open the hud to search for something on my computer if i type the "W" key it just closes...why is that? how do i fix? | 02:36 |
| infinmed | hi | 02:37 |
| brucelee | psusi: in ssl, a site uses its public key to encrypt a regular symmetric key and sends it to the server? when you say site youre talking about the client? | 02:38 |
| psusi | brucelee, no... the client picks a random session key, and encrypts it with the server's public key ( that the server sends it ( in the certificate ) when the client connects | 02:38 |
| brucelee | oh i see | 02:39 |
| laspahr | ... why do I still have the "install Ubuntu icon on my Launcher thing? | 02:39 |
| psusi | brucelee, the client can optionally use its own certificate to prove its identity to the server, but that is generally not used... just the server has one and one is all that is needed to encrypt the traffic, and for the client to identify the server | 02:40 |
| brucelee | i see | 02:40 |
| brucelee | i must have read how this process works like a million times | 02:40 |
| brucelee | but can never remember | 02:40 |
| brucelee | and everytime i come across another key signing security process | 02:41 |
| brucelee | it makes the wholething a little more fuzzy | 02:41 |
| dsprc | brucelee: grc.com has a podcast or two floating around that explains the handshake process pretty well | 02:41 |
| brucelee | dsprc: nice | 02:41 |
| dsprc | brucelee: will have to dig around for it on the "Security Now!" page | 02:42 |
| brucelee | on the security now page | 02:43 |

| dsprc | arussel: it wont sort by date, just give you a list | 03:56 |
| arussel | dsprc: but this is all packages, not just the one I've installed | 03:57 |
| dsprc | if you want the dates you are gonna have to dig around in /var/log and grep all the dpkg stuff | 03:57 |
| dsprc | 'sed' 'awk' and 'grep' are your friends :) | 03:57 |

| PlanckWalk | It jumps straight from ubuntu4.5 to ubuntu4.8 | 05:02 |
| dsprc | rocko: i guess you will have to netinstall or minimal then | 05:02 |
| rocko | what is minimal? | 05:03 |
| somsip | !minimal | rocko | 05:03 |
| ubottu | rocko: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:03 |
| dsprc | rocko: basically a shell.. it is smaller than the normal netinstaller | 05:03 |
| toolazyforaname | rocko: it gives only what you need for the most part | 05:04 |

| toolazyforaname | dsprc: true, but it's a great starting point if you want to set up a server | 05:04 |

| toolazyforaname | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD this is it, i believe | 05:07 |

| radaaam | does anybody know why my torrents instantly say 'download failed' when running a torrent on torrentflux 2.4? using ubuntu 14.04 | 05:09 |
| rocko | their is this guide that uses the text based installer for lvm | 05:09 |
| rocko | so I am assuming that the minimal will have that option | 05:10 |
| toolazyforaname | yes i believe the minimal install is only a curses install | 05:10 |
| somsip | rocko: toolazyforaname: it is ncurses | 05:10 |
| dsprc | rocko: i will check in 5 seconds.. | 05:10 |
| toolazyforaname | rocko: but you should be aware that youll have to do a lot more legwork, like setting up uour fstab and installing X iirc | 05:11 |
| toolazyforaname | somsip: its what i meant :) | 05:11 |
| === allen_ is now known as allenrm | ||
| rocko | I know how to install x | 05:11 |
| rocko | what about fstab? | 05:12 |
| rocko | isn't that the volume manager or something? | 05:12 |

| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| toolazyforaname | rocko: i guess i think it's a bit overboard to go witht the minimal install just to get a ncurses lvm installer | 05:13 |
| toolazyforaname | rocko: why not just look at debian | 05:13 |
| rocko | is there a way to get the ncurses lvm installer running on the normal ubuntu cd? | 05:14 |
| PlanckWalk | Is it normal for versions of packages to be removed from Ubuntu repositories? | 05:17 |
| dsprc | this is my problem: after i authenticate to lightdm, xfce4-session doesn't seem to fire and I am just presented with the default xubuntu wallpaper and have no windows manger etc. any ideas how to remedy this? | 05:17 |
| dsprc | same problem as this guy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/500133 | 05:17 |
| Beldar | PlanckWalk, not really valid question as is. | 05:18 |
| PlanckWalk | Beldar: Well, I did ask a more direct question earlier. | 05:18 |
| PlanckWalk | It just seems odd that I can't find a libqt4-qt3support_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6 to match my other installed packages | 05:18 |
| PlanckWalk | So now I'm trying to fix my broken system | 05:18 |
| Beldar | PlanckWalk, Did you do a partial update/upgrade? | 05:19 |
| PlanckWalk | No | 05:19 |
| PlanckWalk | Just the usual desktop update, which reported success | 05:19 |
| PlanckWalk | Then the next time I tried installing a package, the package manager told me that there was a dependency problem and suggested removing 229 packages | 05:20 |
| Beldar | PlanckWalk, Not sure, I suspect you need more context for anyone here if here to help. | 05:20 |
| PlanckWalk | I'm happy to give more info :) | 05:20 |
| allenrm | anyone else able to assist with this video error i'm getting, everytime i try to use nvidia driver, when i reboot i end up with an error that i am in low graphics mode | 05:21 |
| PlanckWalk | Specifically I'm looking to manually resolve the dependency problem without removing the 229 packages that depend on libqt4-qt3support | 05:21 |
| dsprc | allenrm: try running nvidia-xconfig | 05:22 |
| Beldar | PlanckWalk, Note I'm using your nick when addressing you. I'm not sure and just guessing on the context is all, the channel may not have all the answers you need or provide them quickly is all. | 05:22 |
| === fatminmin_ is now known as fatminmin | ||
| PlanckWalk | Beldar: Ordinarily I'd try downloading libqt4-qt3support_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6_amd64.deb from the repository, but it isn't there. Nor are the related packages that were installed. | 05:22 |
| PlanckWalk | Does it look like my only option to manually downgrade each back to ubuntu4.5? | 05:23 |
| PlanckWalk | (There appear to be rather a lot of those) | 05:23 |
| allenrm | dsprc, doesn't appear to do anything Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' | 05:24 |
| allenrm | New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 05:24 |
| ghostnik11 | so when i try the blueman applet it tells me there is no bluetooth adapter installed in ubuntu 13.04. How can i fix this issue | 05:24 |

| dsprc | ah, i got my problem all sorted out. now to go help that one guy.. :) | 05:34 |
| grendal_prime | ok guys help me out | 05:38 |
| radaaam | hey guys, does anybody know why my torrents instantly say 'download failed' when running a torrent on torrentflux 2.4? using ubuntu 14.04 | 05:39 |
| grendal_prime | its been like a 100 years since i had to set up a dual boot on a machine that already has linux on it | 05:39 |
| grendal_prime | i have an external drive...i cant remember what the hell windows does to the mbr.. | 05:39 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Torrentflux hasent been updated in over 6 years.. | 05:39 |
| japoneris | I have broken W8 installing linux | 05:40 |
| radaaam | DrRodneyMckay yeah i know, figured it should still work tho | 05:40 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Not sure why it wont work, Try changing the torrent backend that its using, Look in the logs for the torrent client, But i stopped using it a few years ago after no updates for many years | 05:40 |
| grendal_prime | is there a way when installing it to have it only install Including the mbr to a second usb attached drive and then adjusing grub to point to it as a potential os to us? | 05:40 |
| radaaam | are there any alternatives DrRodneyMckay ? | 05:40 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Im not sure when it was updated, but there was a fork - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TorrentFlux#TorrentFlux-b4rt | 05:40 |
| radaaam | hmm | 05:41 |
| radaaam | didnt know about torrentflux ng | 05:41 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Torrentflux NG - https://github.com/epsylon3/torrentflux | 05:41 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Oh lol | 05:41 |
| radaaam | looks like the torrent back end is using transmission | 05:41 |
| grendal_prime | and why does it take soooo long to write a windows install image to usb? this is like watching golf. | 05:41 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Yeh i just saw that one as well, It looks like its the most up to date fork of TF | 05:41 |
| radaaam | think torrentflux uses bittornado ? | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | who cares use bittorrent | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | ITS THE BOMB!! | 05:42 |
| DrRodneyMckay | radaaam: By default, Yes | 05:42 |
| radaaam | grendal_prime its on a server | 05:42 |
| radaaam | dont have a desktop | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | or... as my kids say ITS EPIC | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | radaaam, i could swear there are command lines for that | 05:43 |
| grendal_prime | http://askubuntu.com/questions/65387/is-there-bittorrent-software-that-runs-in-a-terminal | 05:44 |
| grendal_prime | transmission | 05:44 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Or rtorrent | 05:45 |
| DrRodneyMckay | rtorrent is the bomb | 05:45 |
| grendal_prime | transmission-daemon). The daemon can be setup so that it may be interacted with through the terminal and through a web interface. | 05:45 |
| grendal_prime | why you need torrent client on server anyway? | 05:46 |
| DrRodneyMckay | He might have a Seedbox, Might be a server running at his house to do torrents... Theres lots of reasons | 05:46 |
| agent_white | Probably for a "seed box". | 05:46 |
| DrRodneyMckay | I know i prefer to run my torrents off one of my Ded Servers that has 1gbit to the net.. Seeding at 50mb/s is always nice | 05:47 |
| ghostnik11 | i can't find my internal bluethooth adapter even though i know its in my machine. when i run the commands lsubs and lspci it doesn't show anything on bluethooh | 05:47 |
| grendal_prime | just wondering. I seen a lot of creativity with torrents now in the corprate world..push the filling off to the workerbees. | 05:47 |
| grendal_prime | its like (here ya go here is your company laptop, by the way you got a tone of stuffs on that that is part of all our stuffs...hope you gots the BB at your house" | 05:49 |

| radaaam | DrRodneyMckay sorry mate, on the phone :P apple are trying to keep my macbook by saying the warrenty has been voided as i upgraded the ram, however,its not he ram thats faulty, the hard drive is. nthey wont return it unless i pay like $300 for the hd to be replaced and them put their own ram in... | 05:50 |
| radaaam | lol | 05:50 |

| radaaam | ya i got that page up already | 05:51 |
| grendal_prime | that machine is built for people who speak like apes...sorry but its true | 05:51 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Bias is a trait of Apes as well. | 05:52 |
| grendal_prime | i have one of the white ones...with the batery that can be replaced....anyway..it just started whit screening (it was given to me from work) | 05:53 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Every machine serves its purpose, and if you cant see or accept that - Then its time to move on from this industry as Apple is only going to get more and more into the enterpise | 05:53 |
| DrRodneyMckay | White ones are crap | 05:53 |
| grendal_prime | i called them and they said...we are sorry we no longer support that model...i asked what i was supposed to do and they said "buy a new one" | 05:53 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Thats usually what happens when you have a 5 year old laptop | 05:54 |
| radaaam | DrRodneyMckay consumer affairs refered me to accc :@ | 05:54 |
| DrRodneyMckay | Or bring it into the Apple store, Get them to run diagnostics and buy the parts of ebay your self | 05:54 |
| grendal_prime | apple sucks and you know it.. | 05:54 |
| radaaam | this is the first problem i've had :@ | 05:54 |
| DrRodneyMckay | IBM wont service or even look at my T Series from years ago. So its not just Apple. | 05:55 |

| Znoosey | hi, when running "sudo apt-get upgrade" I just get a ton of errors and then it stops at 88% saying "waiting for headers" is there something wrong with my installation or something else? | 06:44 |
| SirLagz | Znoosey: without knowing the errors, I'm going to take a guess and say that you're machine isn't connected to the internet. | 06:44 |
| Znoosey | SirLagz: well I'm here talking to you, so I think I'm connected :P | 06:45 |
| SirLagz | Znoosey: it would help if you pastebinned the errors | 06:45 |
| Beldar | Znoosey, run the update and upgrade and pastebin all of it. | 06:45 |
| Znoosey | Err http://no.archive.ubuntu.com quantal-backports/restricted amd64 Packages | 06:45 |
| Znoosey | 404 Not Found | 06:45 |
| samhassell | might be a temporary issue with some of the repos you are using | 06:45 |
| Znoosey | that is basically the gist of it, they are all alike | 06:45 |
| Beldar | Znoosey, quantal is eol | 06:45 |
| Znoosey | Beldar: yes, and I tried to do a dist-upgrade, with same results | 06:46 |
| Beldar | !quantal | Znoosey | 06:46 |
| SirLagz | Znoosey: also, it could have been another machine that you were having issues with :P | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Znoosey: 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 | 06:46 |

| Znoosey | thanks Beldar I'll try their instructions :) | 06:47 |
| Beldar | Znoosey, for what? | 06:47 |
| Znoosey | Beldar: upgrading | 06:48 |
| === robcsi is now known as Guest11948 | ||
| === robcsi_ is now known as robcsi | ||
| Beldar | Znoosey, There are two eol's after quantal I would fresh install 14.04 | 06:48 |
| Beldar | erry, one anyway | 06:48 |
| === amir_ is now known as Guest60176 | ||
| Beldar | I was right first time 13.04 and 13.10 are eol Znoosey | 06:49 |
| Znoosey | Beldar: I'm getting a new computer in like a month, I was hoping to not have to do that until I switch | 06:50 |
| Beldar | Znoosey, Just no support for eol's is all and no security upgrades. | 06:51 |
| Znoosey | Beldar: well it won't let me install packages either :/ | 06:51 |
| Beldar | yep | 06:52 |
| SirLagz | Znoosey: your repos probably remove the Quantal files | 06:52 |
| Znoosey | SirLagz: probably, do you know how to fix it? As I have no clue what so ever | 06:53 |
| Beldar | Znoosey, Your new computer will probably be a uefi setup so this upgrade is not transferable if that is the case. | 06:53 |
| SirLagz | Znoosey: try a different repo and see if they still have Quantal | 06:53 |
| Znoosey | Beldar: I'm not going to transfer anything to my new computer | 06:53 |
| Beldar | SirLagz, eol's loose repos no matter what repo. | 06:54 |
| SirLagz | Beldar: what do you mean by "loose repos" ? They're no longer as tight ? :P | 06:55 |
| varunendra | Znoosey, repositories for EOL versions are moved to "old-releases.." after some time. Means you can still get packages (old ones) by changing "no.ubuntu" with "old-releases.ubuntu" in your source.list files. | 06:55 |
| Beldar | SirLagz, Dude this is common knowledge and you should know if your going to help, the eol's are taken out if the ubuntu repos. | 06:56 |
| Beldar | don't just guess | 06:56 |
| SirLagz | Beldar: I was commenting on your bad english. | 06:56 |
| SirLagz | anyway. I'll be out of here then | 06:57 |
| varunendra | Znoosey, if you wish to try fixing the problem on the existing installation, you should start by pasting the whole output to pastebin and posting its link here. | 06:58 |
| varunendra | SirLagz, no need to take it so seriously, not everyone here is a native English speaker. | 06:59 |
| Znoosey | varunendra: thank you for the help, but this is a project far outside my comfort zone so I'll just wait :) | 06:59 |
| SirLagz | varunendra: I agree, I made my comment in jest. | 07:00 |
| varunendra | Znoosey, usually it is just a 'sed' command that can fix the 'sources.list' file to make it suitable with changed repo address. | 07:00 |
| varunendra | SirLagz, even though I know the difference between lose and loose, I could make the same mistake (besides typo) :) | 07:00 |
| SirLagz | varunendra: Indeed | 07:01 |

| doge_wow | omerraja: this can have so many causes... it's impossible to say what's wrong just from this sentence: "The wifi is not working". | 07:57 |
| Amaze-balls | Good morning | 08:01 |
| varunendra | omerraja, which wireless card do you have? (output of "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net") | 08:04 |
| fatminmin | ubuntu13: I don't think nautilus has that feature anymore | 08:04 |
| varunendra | ubuntu13, even though wifi and bluetooth are on same card, they use different drivers and software sets. So it is not uncommon for one to work and other not. | 08:04 |

| varunendra | Trudko, Ubuntu default uses compiz for Unity, which can be a real resource hog sometimes, especially if graphics is not properly supported. To get better battery life on Ubuntu, try some light weight desktop environment like XFCE, and make sure you have correct drivers that properly support the hardware. I get almost same battery backup as win7 on my laptop (with Unity!) without TLP or anything like that. | 08:33 |

| Trudko | varunendra: well sure you can tinker with it and get bettery life, but I cant understand why you still have to tinker with this stuff in the first place my question is what are the solutions and what we can do about it? Also I am bit surprised that Ubuntu didnt implement any solution right out of the box | 08:42 |
| nichlas | Trudko: with my laptops the issue is always ATI/AMD Drivers that makes it heat up and use up all power. Those drivers can be fixed with a little work, but does not work very well on default install. | 08:43 |

| varunendra | Trudko, install a crappy graphics driver on windows, and don't install power management software/drivers, then see how badly it sucks power from the battery. Same is the case with any other OS. Good driver support = better battery life. Ubuntu is no different, and it can't do much about device drivers - it is mostly the area that the kernel developers have to take care of. | 08:47 |

| internetpanda | loa no | 10:16 |
| k1l | internetpanda: see in "unity-tweak-tool" for settings where to place the launcher bar | 10:16 |
| internetpanda | top of the screen bar with clock on it | 10:16 |
| k1l | internetpanda: ah ok. that is supposed to be on both monitors | 10:17 |
| internetpanda | the unity dock can be disabled in display settings and I did that already | 10:17 |
| loa | internetpanda, why you want to do this? | 10:17 |
| internetpanda | I don't want it on both because if I have a video fullscreen it still overrides focus and displays over it | 10:17 |
| internetpanda | quite annoying | 10:17 |
| loa | strange fullscreen video... | 10:17 |
| k1l | internetpanda: well, the video program shout do a real fullscreen then | 10:17 |

| k1l | internetpanda: like i said: i just tested it with totem. and the only time the panel displays is when i trigger the indicator menue on the other monitor | 10:22 |

| pjdelport | Hi | 10:38 |
| pjdelport | I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo G580 laptop alongside Windows 8, and yesterday something weird happened, and it no longer boots into Ubuntu. | 10:38 |
| pjdelport | I have both Windows 8 (which came with the laptop) and Ubuntu installed in UEFI mode, and it worked without problems for months. | 10:39 |
| pjdelport | In the UEFI boot menu, both Ubuntu and Windows 8 are still listed as boot options (alongside network boot etc.) | 10:40 |
| pjdelport | However, both options just seem to make Windows 8 boot now. | 10:40 |
| IceBot3000 | Have you done any Windows 8 updates? | 10:40 |
| pjdelport | Instead of the Ubuntu option loading GRUB / Ubuntu | 10:40 |
| pjdelport | IceBot3000: Nope, not before yesterday. | 10:40 |
| pjdelport | I rarely use the Windows 8 installation; I just kept it for the rare occasions I need to do something Windows-based for work. | 10:41 |
| pjdelport | (I'm booted into Windows 8 now, to try and figure out what's going on.) | 10:41 |
| IceBot3000 | There's your problem, try booting into Ubuntu | 10:42 |

| Monkey_b | hey guys im trying to ugprade my ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 and having a rough time with sources | 10:48 |
| Monkey_b | apparently my sources.list is no longer good since they removed the repo for 13.04 updates, and not sure where to point my sources to | 10:48 |
| Monkey_b | apt-get update and apt-get upgrade fail | 10:48 |
| Monkey_b | i get 404's everywhere | 10:48 |
| pjdelport | IceBot3000: That was I was trying, but the Ubuntu loader seems to load Windows 8 only. :P | 10:48 |
| k1l | !eolupgrade | Monkey_b | 10:49 |
| ubottu | Monkey_b: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:49 |
| golda | hello | 10:49 |
| golda | I have a question | 10:49 |
| DJones | Monkey_b: I suspect thats because 13.10 has gone to EOL on 17/7/14, I'm surprised the repo's have been removed so quickly though | 10:49 |
| m1dnight | just ask golda | 10:49 |
| golda | I'm in ubuntu 13.10 and I cannot right-click on the panel | 10:49 |
| golda | I get no manu | 10:49 |
| golda | menu* | 10:49 |
| Monkey_b | DJones: so i need a new machine with ubuntu 14? | 10:49 |
| Monkey_b | any way to upgrade from 13 to 14? | 10:50 |
| k1l | Monkey_b: see the bots message | 10:50 |
| NilBud | apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:50 |
| DJones | Monkey_b: You should be able to upgrade to 13.10 using the bots message, and from that upgrade to 14.04 once thats done | 10:50 |
| golda | there are other things strange about the panel. for example in the sound applet I see no volume slider... there is space for it, it is just invisible. | 10:51 |
| Monkey_b | thank you guys | 10:51 |
| DJones | Monkey_b: Your other option would be to backup and do a fresh install of 14.04 | 10:51 |
| pjdelport | Monkey_b: It's probably easier just to save your data and install 14.04 clean. | 10:51 |
| golda | but I figure if I can right-click and get a panel menu, then that is a start. | 10:51 |
| NilBud | Something you should be doing at least weekly anyway. | 10:51 |
| k1l | golda: you switched themes? | 10:51 |
| golda | any idea what might be blocking a right-click on the panel. | 10:51 |
| golda | k1l, no knowingly | 10:51 |
| pjdelport | So, is there any way to figure out what's happening with my computer, or figure out how to repair GRUB so that it actually boots Ubuntu instead of Windows 8? | 10:52 |
| k1l | golda: there is no right click anymore. the indicators just have a left-click menue. the panel only got a right click menue if the window is maximized | 10:52 |
| golda | and right-clicking on any of the applets acts just like left click. | 10:52 |
| k1l | golda: yep | 10:53 |
| golda | so where do I get the panel menu? how do I re-arrange indicators? how do I get the things that used to be in the right-click menu but are not in the left? | 10:53 |
| k1l | golda: that is a compromise to make it touchscreen usable | 10:53 |
| Guest52384 | somebub | 10:53 |
| golda | either that - or macification | 10:53 |
| golda | I like right clicking... | 10:54 |
| golda | but ok. how do I move indicators without a right click? | 10:54 |
| golda | and how do I add and remove applets without a right click? | 10:54 |
| SlayerGoury | you do not | 10:54 |
| k1l | golda: touchscreens make it to laptop and monitors. so there is a need to make them usable. for the indicators there is a white/blacklist anywhere | 10:55 |
| mike_ | somebub | 10:55 |
| theadmin | I think on a touchscreen press and hold is the equivalent of rightclick | 10:55 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest50390 | ||
| golda | so this is another example of ubuntu dumbing everything down until it is unusable? :( | 10:55 |
| k1l | golda: see if that works: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26114/is-it-possible-to-change-the-order-of-icons-in-the-indicator-applet | 10:56 |
| golda | thanks k1l I'll check | 10:56 |
| SlayerGoury | are unity indicators even movable at all? | 10:56 |
| theadmin | golda: Indicators on Ubuntu apps are designed in a way so that there's only one menu, that opens when you left-click, and no other actions are performed upon clicking. This is for consistency between apps. | 10:56 |
| theadmin | golda: Older apps that use tray icons rather than indicators still can be right-clicked if they support it themselves | 10:57 |
| golda | ok. I understand. but for example my logout icon is somewhere in the middle. it should be in the corner. | 10:58 |
| golda | and my sound applet does not work properly and I have no idea where to find its settings.... | 10:58 |
| k1l | golda: yep it should be the last one | 10:59 |
| golda | it isn't | 10:59 |
| golda | wifi is the last one. | 10:59 |
| golda | which is strange. | 10:59 |
| theadmin | That's messed up | 10:59 |
| k1l | golda: maybe there was just a hickup. try to run all updates and relogin and see if that problem is still present | 10:59 |
| golda | I did. I also reinstalled the applet... and I installed unity-tweak and ubuntu-tweak to see if I could find options there.. but no | 11:01 |
| theadmin | golda: Try the following in a terminal: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ | 11:03 |
| theadmin | golda: (log out and back in afterwards, you may need to install dconf-tools) | 11:03 |
| golda | ok done. will logout and relogin. brb | 11:04 |
| golda | hi. I'm back. | 11:08 |
| golda | so. the menu looks correct on the login screen but when I log in, then the indicator applets are all wrong again. | 11:09 |
| golda | I tried deleting .config/compiz-1 but that didn't help. | 11:09 |
| theadmin | mmokay I have no idea why that happens | 11:09 |
| golda | how would I reset the unity config for the user (instead of deleting .compiz/compiz-1 | 11:10 |
| IceBot3000 | Terminal: unity -reset-all | 11:10 |
| golda | no such option -r | 11:11 |
| golda | --reset-all also not recognized | 11:11 |
| k1l | --reset-all ? | 11:11 |
| golda | unity: error: no such option: --reset-all | 11:11 |
| k1l | dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ | 11:12 |
| golda | k1l thats what I did before rebooting. | 11:12 |
| golda | it still doesnt work for me | 11:12 |
| golda | though it works on the login screen | 11:12 |
| golda | unity --reset all // ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated | 11:13 |

| nbubuntu | varunendra : how to backup multiple folder in a folder ? | 12:26 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, sorry, what I suggested was for extracting the contents. To create the archive in a different path, simply prefix the archive name with the path like giorgiodinapoli suggested. | 12:26 |
| nbubuntu | varunendra : how do I change the path ? like I wanted to create the archive file/folder from Home and output the archive to an external HDrive ? | 12:29 |
| kalc | d | 12:29 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, simply "tar -cvpzf /tmp/backup.tar.gz <dir 1> <dir 2>" ? | 12:29 |
| nbubuntu | varunendra : sorry , I still dont get . Dir1 is the output ? | 12:31 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, output is the "/tmp/backup.tar.gz", the <dir 1/2> are the directories to go into that archive | 12:32 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, suppose your external drive is mounted at "/media/mydrive", and you want to backup the "Music" and "Docs" directories within your home, then the command will be "tar -cvpzf /media/mydrive/backup.tar.gz Music Docs" | 12:34 |
| nbubuntu | varunendra : thank , trying now | 12:35 |
| nbubuntu | varunendra : but does the Music DOcs have path ? | 12:38 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, path is not required if they are within the directory you are in (in the terminal), but if they are not within your Home directory (or where you are in the terminal), then you must use their full path. | 12:39 |
| IdleOne | if you always use the full path then you don't have to worry | 12:40 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, I think if you use the full path, they will be backed up the same way - with full path within the archive. | 12:41 |
| varunendra | yup, confirmed ^^ nbubuntu | 12:42 |

| karakedi | tting | 12:44 |
| capprentice | cfhowlett: That guide only lists what I already mentioned! If some one is aware of Some Easy GUI management tool.... ! I have tried Kvpnc, which was supposed to work with openvpn, but sadly it did not! | 12:46 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, if all these folders are within one folder (say within "Docs" in your Home), you can take advantage of bash expansion, like - "tar -cvpzf /media/mydrive/backup.tar.gz ./Docs/{<dir1>,<dir2>....<dir25>"} | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | capprentice ah, sorry my help was unhelpful. | 12:47 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, but if they are located at different places, I don't think there is another way other than typing their full path on the command line. | 12:47 |

| RAM399 | varunendra: can't unmount sda2 because that's the partition i booted ubuntu on (and using now). I need to remove grub from mbr to the bootsector on /dev/sda2 | 13:10 |
| kiran__ | _[myth, hello | 13:11 |
| _[myth | hi | 13:11 |
| RAM399 | I knew this grub2 was trouble. I never had this problem with grub-legacy which allows installing while the partition is in use by the os | 13:11 |
| varunendra | RAM399, you don't need to remove it, as the one you'd install later would automatically overwrite it. But to install grub on a partition, I'm not sure unmounting it is a prerequisite or not. Maybe try /dev/sda2 anyway (while it is mounted). | 13:12 |
| === chamunks is now known as zz_chamunks | ||
| RAM399 | Here's the story: I installed ubuntu from DVD to /dev/sda2 then installed the grub2 bootloader to /dev/sda2 on purpose so I could install grub-legacy to mbr of sda then chainboot ubuntu on sda2. When I did a "apt-get dist-upgrade" Ubuntu messed up everything and ubuntu refused to boot. I want to restore grub2 back to sda2 so I can use grub-legacy on mbr of /dev/sda | 13:15 |
| RAM399 | The problem with grub2 is it's too much integrated into the filesystem making it a massive headache to deal with. At least grub-legacy keeps itself out of the filesystem and is independant of the OS so you can more easily install/repair it from live cds. | 13:18 |
| benxyzzy | Quick question: Does Ubuntu support writing to NTFS 'out of the box' yet? Is it at least stable and easy to install? | 13:18 |
| ioudas | does anyone know how to enable vcstime on ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition? I have it set to console mode /etc/kbd/config lists do_vcstime=yes yet it doesnt show at boot... also I the power saving modes in the console tools conf are not being applied? | 13:19 |
| ioudas | any help would be appreciated | 13:19 |
| varunendra | RAM399, if you originally installed Grub2 on the partition, it should still be there, just the MBR one being a new installation controlling the booting now. Have you tried installing Grub legacy again on the MBR the same was as earlier? | 13:20 |
| RAM399 | varundendra..thanks, will try that next. | 13:21 |
| frakoster | so | 13:24 |
| varunendra | RAM399, there is a way to prevent updates to update grub2, just don't remember it. Probably something in /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but not sure. | 13:24 |
| RAM399 | varunendra: I'll make a seperate boot partition of 24mb to install grub-legacy to keep it absolutely out of ubuntu's way. Then chainload ubuntu on sda2. | 13:25 |
| varunendra | RAM399, good idea :) | 13:26 |
| RAM399 | varendra: I previously i had grub legacy co-existing inside /boot/grub on the Ubuntu filesystem & that's what caused the conflict during the dist-upgrade. | 13:28 |

| Czechton | hey is this a good place to ask for help with errors during install? | 13:44 |
| cfhowlett | !quantal | Unknown0BC | 13:45 |
| ubottu | Unknown0BC: 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 | 13:45 |

| k1l | Unknown0BC: you really should upgrade to a supported release as first step | 13:45 |

| Unknown0BC | So what they make the old release stop working for installing packages ? | 13:46 |
| k1l | Unknown0BC: you can do a reinstall with a 14.04 iso | 13:46 |
| Unknown0BC | It still worked recently for some packages, but not all... | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | Unknown0BC use torrent to get the 14.04 ISO and install | 13:46 |
| k1l | Unknown0BC: why do you want to run a that old release anyway? it has security issues a 10 year old can use | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | Unknown0BC of course. NO OS has lifetime support and the lifetime of each Ubuntu release is clearly stated. | 13:47 |
| k1l | Unknown0BC: to run 12.10 is not a solution so we dont need to discuss that. its only about how you get your system to a supported release | 13:47 |
| funtable | g105b, what will do your shell script ? | 13:47 |
| Unknown0BC | ok. | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | Unknown0BC suggest you go with 14.04 as it's supported for 5 years | 13:47 |

| hebz0rl | hi is there a color picker that supports cmyk under ubuntu? | 14:21 |
| theperfectpunk | cfhowlett: it's a software to mount an Ext3 partition | 14:21 |
| theperfectpunk | Ext2 is the name | 14:21 |
| theperfectpunk | of the software | 14:21 |
| g105b | hebz0rl: the native colour picker supports that | 14:21 |
| cfhowlett | theperfectpunk default for ubuntu is ext4 ... | 14:21 |
| varunendra | theperfectpunk, if it is a GPT partition scheme, grub should be on Ubuntu's partition, not on MBR, since there is no MBR in GPT scheme. And not necessary, but if you are dual-booting with Windows, the booting should be EFI based - means there should be a separate partition (EFI or boot/EFI) which should be doing the job of booting the installed OSes | 14:21 |

| varunendra | lucas_, the numbers decide the order they will be executed in, when reading that directory. | 14:46 |

| theperfectpunk | can anybody confirm if i am right or not? | 15:35 |

| varunendra | theperfectpunk, it seems it is just a metapackage that installs the kernel image. It does exist in my old 12.04.1 installation. | 15:37 |
| theperfectpunk | varunendra: do you suggest that i replace it with linux kernel image? | 15:37 |
| grobe0ba | yes | 15:38 |
| theperfectpunk | varunendra: boot-repair is just reinstalling grub | 15:38 |
| grobe0ba | that's what the linux meta-package referred to | 15:38 |
| theperfectpunk | grobe0ba: there are three or two packages referring to linux kernel images | 15:38 |
| grobe0ba | theperfectpunk, there are a lot more than two or three | 15:38 |
| theperfectpunk | grobe0ba: of same version, with debug tag | 15:38 |
| varunendra | theperfectpunk, perhaps "linux-image-generic". But I am just suggesting for that part, I am not familiar with the 'chroot' method of grub-install | 15:39 |
| theperfectpunk | or some other tag | 15:39 |
| grobe0ba | linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic | 15:39 |
| theperfectpunk | let's see if it works | 15:40 |
| grobe0ba | or indeed, linux-image-generic, which should install 3.13.0-32 | 15:40 |
| grobe0ba | varunendra, all it's doing is calling apt-get inside the chroot. it's no different that "chroot /mnt/blah /bin/bash", and then working from there | 15:41 |

| dusf | k1l: thanks | 15:47 |
| dusf | i am installing ubuntu and windows dual boot on a laptop for a friend. it's a 1TB drive and i gave windows 200gb. i set 20gb for / and 50GB for /home, i was thinking of assigning the rest of the space to ntfs and asking them to use it for all their media etc | 15:48 |
| dusf | do you think i would be better off just giving all the free space to /home? | 15:48 |
| Edward_Snowden | hi | 15:48 |
| k1l | dusf: that is fine, expecially if they will use windows a lot. | 15:48 |
| dusf | k1l: i'm trying to encourage them to not use windows at all, but they are old timers and i don't know how well they will adjust to ubuntu | 15:49 |
| dusf | a problem i forsee with the current setup is that they may run out of space in /home | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: if they just web browse, they will be fine :) | 15:49 |
| varunendra | nbubuntu, there are multiple exclude options available for tar, but I've never used them, so can't say which one(s) may work for your cause. | 15:49 |
| k1l | dusf: if its 1TB you can make that 200GB /home, too | 15:49 |
| dusf | also, the links in nautilus for document sand pictures etc poitn to /home, instead of the ntgs partitions | 15:49 |
| nbubuntu | varunendra : ok will search about it | 15:50 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: mainly yes, but i am just thinking about small programs they might liek to use for trandferring stuff from their android phones, etc, small programs i cannot forsee | 15:50 |
| dusf | k1l: can i adjust this with gparted live or something without having to reinstall ubuntu? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: if you make the folders in $HOME be syminks then you can point them to your NTFS stored folders. | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: I use SFTP to put data on my phone, no need for wires then | 15:51 |
| grobe0ba | as long as you don't use an lvm, then yes, gparted will work fine | 15:51 |
| vite | has this been resolved? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1309578 | 15:51 |
| dusf | i think i may just resize home from 50GB to 200GB, create the NTFS partition, let them see how they get on with ubuntu over a month, and if they are using it most of the time I can resize home further | 15:52 |

| metaspike | yes | 16:16 |
| Slart | JakePee: there used to be some issues with using "sudo su" instead recommending things like sudo -i instead.. but sudo has changed in the last release so I'm not really sure what is recommended these days | 16:17 |
| Slart | !sudo | 16:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 16:18 |
| nearst | back | 16:18 |
| metaspike | the important thing is the little '-' after su, that means you get the su enviroment variables | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | JakePee: "sudo su -" and "sudo -i" will make you be root and use root's profile. "sudo -s" will elevate your access but keep you using your user profile. | 16:19 |
| metaspike | "elevate this users privillages so I can have access to the super user account with its enviroment variables" sudo su - | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | metaspike: sudo su - will make you root, there is no "super user" | 16:21 |
| LiENUS | this is a strange networking question.... i'm running ubuntu 14.04 i have no firewall installed, i have a machine at home 192.168.90.253 that i ssh into regularly, when im at home ssh works fine, when i go into work (vpn link betwen home and work) i can't ssh into it and pinging it gets no reply, i fired up a sniffer on the router and i dont even see the icmp traffic from ping coming out of my machine | 16:22 |
| LiENUS | i can access another machine on that network (192.168.90.250) just fine from work... | 16:22 |
| LiENUS | i see no static routes and iptables -vnL shows nothing... | 16:22 |
| pumice | pumice | 16:22 |
| LiENUS | is there some other place it could be getting blackholed? | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: forward port 22/TCP on your router to the server PC, then ssh to your WAN IP on port 22 and it will connect | 16:23 |
| LiENUS | ActionParsnip, but that doesnt sovle whatever networking problem is going on | 16:23 |
| LiENUS | clearly theres something blocking the connection | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: if you add a route on the system you are connecting with via VPN back home to push treaffic for 192.168.90.253 down the VPN interface | 16:23 |
| LiENUS | the route is on the router already | 16:24 |
| LiENUS | the traffic isnt making it from my laptop to the router | 16:24 |
| jere | What does it mean to build a module against any kernel source tree present on file system and not just those happened to be install in /lib/ at sometime? | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: but is it on the client system? | 16:24 |
| LiENUS | why would it need to be? | 16:24 |
| LiENUS | my laptop has a route for 0.0.0.0 to 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.1 has the route properly installed in it | 16:25 |
| LiENUS | why would my laptop need the route? | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: is "my laptop" the client or the server? | 16:26 |
| LiENUS | the vpn runs on the routers, the vpn is properly functioning, the router at work can ping all machines at home | 16:26 |
| 17SAAJ0A5 | I get this error: dlopen: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when I try to run compiz --replace | 16:26 |
| LiENUS | my laptop can't ping one of the machines that can ping another, and the traffic headed for the machine i cant ping isnt even leaving my laptop | 16:26 |
| LiENUS | ergo the routes are not the issue | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: so you can ping other systems on the 192.168.90.0/24 network? | 16:27 |
| metaspike | jere, building into the source tree means it's always more of the main assembly, modules are loaded when they are needed | 16:27 |
| metaspike | always part of* | 16:27 |
| LiENUS | ActionParsnip, yes | 16:28 |
| LiENUS | the traffic destined for 192.168.90.253 never even leaves my laptop, a traffic sniffer on the router at work isnt even seeing the traffic | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | LiENUS: have you tried adding the route, just to force the traffic... | 16:29 |
| LiENUS | something other than iptables or an errant static route is blocking the traffic from leaving my laptop in the first place | 16:29 |

| LiENUS | metaspike, if i'm not using dns at all how would dns be an issue? | 16:32 |
| metaspike | not you, the router | 16:33 |
| Resinator | hey ive been having a problem ever since i installed this new ssd | 16:34 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, dns for what? | 16:34 |
| Resinator | linux liveusb's dont even want to boot they keep hanging, then even if i can get ubuntu to install i'll reboot and it'll hang | 16:34 |
| LiENUS | the vpn itself doesnt use dns at all (everythings static) and the router isnt even seeing traffic destined for that one system | 16:34 |
| LiENUS | a packet sniffer is showing nothing leaving my laptop | 16:34 |
| metaspike | ah ok | 16:35 |
| metaspike | LiENUS, in terminal just say "arp" | 16:35 |
| metaspike | is your router in there? | 16:35 |
| Resinator | it's running fine right now, but i might reboot and it wont boot just plain black screens | 16:35 |
| metaspike | or whatever you are trying to connect to? | 16:36 |
| basketball | how can i sync 2 folders 2 ways | 16:36 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, my laptop can access everything but 192.168.90.253 just fine so the work router (10.2.0.1) and the other end of the vpn (10.2.3.254) are in there | 16:36 |
| LiENUS | naturally what i'm trying to connect to isnt in there because arp doesnt work like that | 16:37 |
| basketball | OerHeks, you on | 16:39 |
| metaspike | you confused me also, my laptop can access everything and "the traffic headed for the machine i cant ping isnt even leaving my laptop" are contradictory statements | 16:40 |
| 17SAAJ0A5 | I get this error: dlopen: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when I try to run compiz --replace | 16:40 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, i can access the internet, the work network, and my home network through the vpn | 16:40 |
| iptable | install libgconf | 16:40 |
| LiENUS | thats the 3 networks icare about | 16:41 |
| LiENUS | for some reason though my laptop is blocking traffic destined for 192.168.90.253 | 16:41 |
| metaspike | ah | 16:41 |
| LiENUS | which is on my home network | 16:41 |
| dONALD | Hi ppl! | 16:41 |
| dONALD | Could someone help me with GRUB? | 16:41 |
| LiENUS | clearly theres got to be something cache'd on my laptop blocking access, but arp looks good, no errant static routes, and iptables is empty | 16:42 |
| metaspike | i guess the big question is, what are you using as a routing protocol, rip or ospf | 16:43 |
| LiENUS | bgp | 16:43 |
| WXZ1 | iptable: nope, didn't work | 16:44 |
| LiENUS | the router itself running bgp can ping 192.168.90.253 just fine, and other machines at work can access 192.168.90.253 just fine | 16:44 |
| LiENUS | and from my laptop i can ssh into 192.168.90.250 and then from there ssh out to 192.168.90.253 just fine | 16:44 |
| WXZ1 | I had all of them installed but I also installed libgconf2.4-cil-dev | 16:44 |
| basketball | how to i make a 2 way sync between 2 folders | 16:48 |
| metaspike | LiENUS, im guessing you left enough space for your laptop to connect within the subnet mask | 16:49 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, on what? | 16:49 |
| iptable | WXZ1, changed nick? | 16:51 |
| blopxop | any idea how to run bash command ~/.profile with root privilege without giving the user full right to said command? | 16:51 |
| iptable | basketball, use 2-way sync software | 16:51 |
| basketball | iptable, which one | 16:52 |
| iptable | basketball, unison for example | 16:52 |
| basketball | iptable, is that a gui | 16:52 |
| iptable | basketball, alternatively, if you don't want a delete operation in your 2-way sync, use rsync, one way and then another. unison WILL delete files from one host if they got deleted on the other and vice versa | 16:52 |
| iptable | basketball, no, it's CLI. | 16:53 |
| basketball | iptable, is there a gui one | 16:53 |
| metaspike | ipv4 right LiENUS so... | 16:53 |
| iptable | basketball, well you should have asked... and searched. Install unison AND unison-gtk2 | 16:53 |
| bb_ | hii ..can somebody tell me why update manager is not showing any release upgrade even when there is one | 16:54 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, the subnet masks on everythign should be fine, at work i'm using a /21 and since i can ping everything at work anyway... | 16:54 |
| iptable | basketball, in trusty, install unison-all and unison-all-gtk | 16:54 |
| iptable | basketball, that will give you CLI and a GUI for it | 16:54 |
| basketball | iptable, E: Package 'unison-all-gtk' has no installation candidate | 16:55 |
| metaspike | but you cant ping work, from home. and it's not your laptop itself (tried pluging into something else?) | 16:55 |
| basketball | E: Package 'unison-all' has no installation candidate | 16:55 |
| bb_ | i want to upgrade to 14.04lts without liveCD | 16:55 |
| OerHeks | basketball, maybe you need to enable universe in your mint | 16:56 |
| metaspike | if you got a brand new computer, plugged it in, chances are, you still wouldn't be able to connect right? or don't know | 16:57 |
| iptable | basketball, I said, on trusty. what's your ubuntu? | 16:58 |
| iptable | basketball, and did you try searching for "unison" to see what is available? | 16:58 |
| LiENUS | brb renewing ip address | 17:00 |
| metaspike | your local network, and your work network, are part of the same vpn network, running bgp - bit your ip addresses are all over the place | 17:00 |
| basketball | iptable, — conflict | 17:02 |
| basketball | pantheon-files.dockitem — conflict | 17:02 |
| iptable | basketball, conflict what? I need to know what is happening. I cannot see your screen. | 17:02 |
| basketball | that is all it says | 17:02 |
| basketball | Synchronization summary | 17:02 |
| basketball | The synchronization was successful. | 17:02 |
| basketball | The replicas are not fully synchronized. | 17:02 |
| basketball | There were 2 skipped items. | 17:02 |
| basketball | — conflict | 17:03 |
| basketball | pantheon-files.dockitem — conflict | 17:03 |
| LiENUS | back | 17:03 |
| iptable | basketball, ok, so you managed to install it? | 17:03 |
| basketball | yes | 17:03 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, work network 10.2.0.0/21 home network 192.168.90.0/24 | 17:03 |
| basketball | then i ran it and selected my two folders | 17:03 |
| iptable | basketball, you didn't say that. you just said "conflict". My uess was you had a conflict while installing packages | 17:03 |
| LiENUS | home router connects via eoip to work network and gets 10.2.3.254 | 17:04 |
| iptable | basketball, so it synced apart from some folder which was conflicting something. check what's happening. maybe you have 2 folders with files inside and files are different. | 17:04 |
| iptable | basketball, basically, programically unison could not figure out which copy to save. | 17:04 |
| basketball | iptable, the folders have the same contents | 17:05 |
| iptable | basketball, well, looks like either they don't or you did(not) select the right options in unison gtk | 17:05 |
| steff3 | Hi! I have a problem! My Lubuntu session (in a VM) doesnt start anymore. I turned of the PC mechanically after the VM didint react anymore due to a lack of memory. Now I can type in my password but then the password window goes away but nothing shows up except the standard background.... Does somebody have an idea what I can do? | 17:05 |
| basketball | iptable, ok ill delte the profile then will you walk me through it | 17:05 |
| iptable | basketball, I can't remember how to use unison. it's something I always refer to the manual pages for. | 17:06 |
| iptable | basketball, read available options, it explains which one does what. select what you think you want. | 17:06 |
| blopxop | Erm, any idea how to run bash command ~/.profile with root privilege without giving the user full right to said command? | 17:07 |
| iptable | blopxop, .profile is NOT an application/command. it's a bash script, and therefore no. | 17:08 |
| MagicSpud | when using gksu nautilus my desktop wallpaper resets to default. why and how to prevent this? | 17:08 |
| blopxop | i mean the command in .profile | 17:08 |
| * iptable goes to enjoy an evening. laters | 17:08 | |
| iptable | blopxop, oh. look at sudo and /etc/sudoers. lots of examples on google. you can make sudo /some/command work without password prompt | 17:09 |
| iptable | blopxop, and lock sudo to a single command for nopassword etc | 17:09 |
| blopxop | ok thankyou | 17:09 |

| Seregas | hi, for what i can use ubuntu cloud ? | 17:16 |
| OssumPawesome | hello out there - I'm trying to set up a web server on my ubuntu box, and so far everythings working great (with some help from you guys). I'm trying to solve the problem of my dynamic global ip (75.143.XXX.XXX). There is a piece of software called a dynamic update client available from my domain host (noip), but its only for windows. How do I either update my domain host or keep my global ip static? | 17:17 |
| metaspike | dhclient managed dhcp names | 17:18 |
| OssumPawesome | there is an option in my router to just leave my global ip static - can I do that without breaking things? my isp said I cannot have a static ip... | 17:19 |
| metaspike | which would have no effect what so ever | 17:19 |
| metaspike | if everything was statically defined | 17:19 |
| metaspike | LiENUS, | 17:19 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, it forced a refresh of the connection information... | 17:20 |
| === sergio_ is now known as Guest55413 | ||
| LiENUS | i released the ip address and retrieved a new one from the server (was changing unrelated settings for the transparent proxy to bypass it for my laptop) | 17:20 |

| === notzopsi is now known as zopsi | ||
| LiENUS | metaspike, ip stayed the same it just forced the server to push configuration information elsewhere | 17:28 |
| LiENUS | on the server side it put me in a special address list that bypasses the proxy | 17:29 |
| metaspike | that's cool | 17:29 |

| metaspike | LiENUS, just a guess, are you sure arp is correct on the server? IP and Mac adresses? | 17:33 |
| Joseph___ | this is belongs to ubuntu 12.04 , yet 14.04 is fine | 17:33 |
| metaspike | maybe set arp to "reply only" or "dont change this mode" or something | 17:34 |
| LiENUS | metaspike, given that traffic doesnt even leave my laptop and every other machine on the network could access it just fine i dont think arp on the server was the problem | 17:34 |

| Guest82406 | metaspike I have two questions , what the other point you need , is the one the flash uses? . what does cd really does ? | 18:51 |
| metaspike | brokenaudio, you will need to define this in asoundrc | 18:52 |
| metaspike | brokenaudio, like these guys from arch... same principle, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171477 | 18:53 |
| metaspike | or use jack, with a realtime kernel. | 18:53 |
| brokenaudio | rt kernel is slower in terms of overall performance so i'll try that first | 18:54 |

| Lunario | eeee: do I have to carry out those two commands on the already installed ubuntu partition, or where? | 19:49 |

| compdoc | tell your wife, if it werent for the computer, youd be spending more with her. that should shut her up | 19:50 |

| lickalott | can I just to the apt-dist-upgrade (if thats the right syntax)? | 19:50 |
| eeee | Lunario: you have to boot into ubuntu, or access the /boot/efi partition from a live usb/cd | 19:50 |

| metaspike | what of it? /usr/share is just "shared user resources".... i only remove things outside of $HOME (eg ~/*) if its in /opt/ or i know what it is ;) | 19:51 |
| lickalott | Package dependencies cannot be resolved | 19:51 |
| lickalott | This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. | 19:51 |
| Lunario | yes, I understood that. And from that live cd (as I cannot boot into the installed ubuntu) I cd into the installed ubuntu distro? | 19:51 |
| lickalott | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 19:51 |

| Guest47119 | Ben64: I'll be back with that ASAP | 19:51 |
| acovrig | am I understanding this right: if I use single display desktop (multi-desktop) does that mean I would have different ‘display managers’ on each physical display? | 19:51 |
| acovrig | oops ‘display manager’ -> ‘window manager’ | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | lickalott, do you mix trusty and precise? | 19:52 |
| eeee | Lunario: mount the /boot partition, to lets say /mnt/boot, and modify the commands accordingly | 19:52 |
| lickalott | i'm still on 12.04 (only) | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | lickalott, undo those trusty repos | 19:53 |

| eeee | Lunario: well, you could type lsblk, see which is the /boot partition if you know the size, or maybe sudo parted -l, (it should be the fat32 partition), then assuming it is /dev/sda1 , you would run mount /dev/sda1 /mnt, then modify the /boot/efi/EFI in the commands to just /mnt/EFI | 19:56 |
| lickalott | so...don't do anything just continue to update and upgrade? | 19:56 |

| eeee | you're welcome | 19:58 |
| eeee | Lunario: if grub doesn't load up, then you'll need to run this command: | 19:59 |
| Lunario | one more question, eeee: Does the newly copied grubx64.efi automatically recognise there's also Windows 8 isntalled on my hdd, so that I can dual-boot? | 19:59 |
| eeee | sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi | 19:59 |
| eeee | it will reverse what we did | 19:59 |
| eeee | Lunario: well, when grub loaded up, was there a windows entry? | 20:00 |
| Lunario | yes | 20:00 |
| modest_ | Ronan_m: Your public key has to be appended to authorized_keys (maybe this can change, but all public keys authorized must go into a single file). Typically, your public key has an indicator as to who the key belongs, so you can identify multiple keys in authorize_keys. | 20:00 |

| rafaht | In the future, I'll fix the IP address for same MAC I have at my DHCP server, but at this moment, I can't make this. | 20:05 |
| modest_ | Ronan_m: my assumption is you want to easily distinguish which key is whos. Having separate .pubs would make this easier to administer. See: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LGNET/149/misc/lg/multiple_authorized_keys.html | 20:05 |
| metaspike | rafaht, its called dns | 20:05 |
| Lunario | yes, currently doing what you told me to do :) | 20:06 |

| Lunario | eeee: the /EFI/ubuntu folder has no bootx64.efi in it | 20:08 |
| Lunario | Actually theres nothing in it | 20:08 |
| metaspike | rafaht, if you want the name of a host, all you need is it's ip number and the command "host" | 20:08 |

| Lunario | nope, nothing | 20:09 |
| andrej | How do I find out whether a file from a package is considered a config file | 20:09 |

| metaspike | if you want to identify computers with names, use the Domain Name Service! it's what it was made for:) | 20:10 |
| metaspike | or, what it can be used for... | 20:10 |

| eeee_ | Lunario: yes, mount it to /mnt | 20:11 |
| Lunario | ok | 20:11 |
| metaspike | or dont whatever im tired... good luck lads | 20:11 |
| eeee_ | then mount /boot again, to /mnt/boot/efi | 20:11 |
| Lunario | umount /dev/sda7 gives me: /dev/sda7 not mounted | 20:12 |
| Lunario | ok | 20:12 |
| Lunario | You mean mount to /mnt/efi/boot? because /mnt/boot/efi doesnt exist | 20:13 |

| noiano | hi. I've switched to gnome 3 on ubuntu 14.04. When I minimize an app it looks like it disappears, there's no app drawer like in 12.04 (using gnome) .. where are the minimized apps? :) | 20:18 |
| Lunario | but there's nothing in that folder "ubuntu". Should I try mount /dev/sda7 to that folder perhaps? | 20:18 |
| walterbit | TJ-: ok so nothing to do | 20:19 |
| eeee_ | when you type lsblk | grep /mnt , what do you get ? | 20:19 |
| TJ- | walterbit: unless walktest is updated to support newer OpenGL, no | 20:19 |
| Lunario | I get sda2: 8:2 0 300M 0 part /mnt | 20:20 |
| Lunario | while "/mnt" is in red letters | 20:20 |
| walterbit | TJ-: ok. thnx for your help, i going to read about other open source game engines until they update | 20:20 |

| noiano | Slart spotify is there, trust me it's playing :D | 20:22 |
| noiano | Slart: is like "minimized to tray" | 20:22 |
| eeee_ | Lunario: is there a /Boot in /mnt/EFI ? with bootx64.efi in it ? | 20:22 |
| Slart | noiano: if you put the mouse cursor on the bottom of the screen and move it even further down.. do you get a task tray? | 20:22 |
| noiano | Slart: no, I get nothing | 20:23 |
| Lunario | yes there is | 20:23 |
| Slart | noiano: try pressing Super+M .. it might be differnt on your system but super is mapped to the left windows key on my computer | 20:25 |

| noiano | Slart: found them | 20:25 |

| Slart | noiano: that's the same thing pulling the mouse down should show.. not sure why that didn't work for you | 20:26 |
| _2_selena | hey | 20:26 |
| Slart | noiano: regular windows show up in alt+tab.. it might be that spotify decides to not keep it's main window open and just minimize to the tray.. I know deluge does the same thing for me | 20:27 |

| Lunario | there's nothing in there | 20:37 |
| msx | kasper: no prob with that, x2Go is a multi-platform client and server solution, similar than VNC but better | 20:37 |
| mithran | Guest47119: use the same command and a -f | 20:37 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: I am told that the command doesn't exist | 20:37 |

| eps | How long is adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.394 going to languish in -proposed? It's been something like 12 days now (that's about a week and a half longer than usual), and fixes for critical security vulnerabilities are not getting out to people who update from the Canonical partner repository. | 20:39 |
| Lunario | fyi, I did some research on the whole grub not being shown too, and read about Windows 8.1 overwriting other boot devices quite often... maybe that has to do with it | 20:39 |

| Guest47119 | mithran: can I get rid of /usr/share/ .... ? /usr/lib/ ... ? | 20:41 |
| kasper | msx no security types supported. Sever sent security types but we do not support any of their | 20:41 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: Same problems with wine1.6 | 20:42 |
| msx | what about using other VNC client? Still, I highly recommend you X2Go | 20:42 |
| kasper | Ive tried it with uvnc as well | 20:42 |
| msx | and forget about VNC for ever | 20:42 |
| kasper | its not the viewer that is the problem, it must be some setting in ubuntu | 20:42 |
| kasper | I'm using the pre installed package | 20:43 |
| mithran | Guest47119: can u find the application in software center | 20:43 |
| msx | I'm not on ubuntu right nowm can't check any of the server settings | 20:43 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: The application ... you mean wine? | 20:43 |
| kasper | msx: why is X2Go better? | 20:43 |
| mithran | Guest47119: ya | 20:43 |
| msx | kasper: if you still want to use a VNC try setting up x11vnc on ubuntu, it's dead easy | 20:44 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: I try to get rid of wine and wine1.6 through Synaptic - never works | 20:44 |
| msx | kasper: far better protocol, blazing fast compared to VNC, supports strong authentixcation, use of ssh and so on | 20:44 |
| msx | kasper: check it on their website and ubuntu wiki | 20:44 |
| kasper | I see, I've just been messing with this vnc for some time I'm exhausted just want something easy :) | 20:45 |
| eeee | Lunario: i think you should reinstall grub and switch the files, maybe it'll work | 20:45 |
| mithran | Guest47119: sudo apt-get autoremove | 20:45 |
| msx | absolutely. kasper: install the server on ubuntu and it is automatically up and running waiting for conections | 20:45 |
| Lunario | Can I just reinstall it from the live cd? | 20:45 |
| msx | *connections | 20:46 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: Done, done, and redone. | 20:46 |
| eeee | yeah, you can chroot the installation | 20:46 |
| === michael is now known as Guest15732 | ||
| msx | kasper: then download and install the client on windows and that's it | 20:46 |
| Lunario | How does that work? | 20:46 |
| Guest47119 | mithran: software center only shows Wine Loader as being checked off as installed | 20:46 |
| kasper | msx can i connect using android or ios as well? | 20:46 |
| msx | kasper: you configure the net speed, the quality of the image, etc. | 20:46 |
| msx | kasper: mmm, i don't know if they already have those clients ready | 20:46 |
| eeee | Lunario: type for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done | 20:47 |
| mithran | Guest47119: try to reinstall or uninstall from there | 20:47 |
| kasper | msx: ok installing now | 20:47 |
| msx | kasper: it'sa beauty and fairly straight to setup. Later when you have time try to connect using VNC and the differences will speak for themselves :P | 20:48 |
| Bashing-om | Guest47119: As you have run a remove and purge on wine1.6 // what now returns -> sudo find / -name wine1.6 <- . Will take a long time to search the file system , patience. | 20:48 |

I have both Unity and XFCE installed and I would like to know what I can do to optimize the battery life on my laptop while I'm traveling. Maybe there is an even lighter weight UI I have over looked. Or maybe there are some optimizations I don't know about. Suggestions? | 21:31 |
| rohan | trism: neat, thanks! | 21:31 |

| eeee | Lunario: do you want me to upload my grubx64.efi file ? | 21:31 |
| eeee | it seems that maybe the partition isn't corrupt, just that grubx64.efi is the problem? | 21:32 |
| Lunario | that would be great, but would it be applicable to my computer? | 21:32 |
| agent_white | RedHatter: You should've changed your homedirectory AND moved the contents... aka `usermod -md /my/new/home username` -- the "m" flag being the important part. | 21:33 |
| eeee | i guess, i think it only loads stuff, like the grub.cfg which you need for your pc | 21:33 |

| brunost | does anyone in here have first-hand experience with the dell xps 13 developer edition? | 23:03 |
| rap424 | lickalott: I know there is a fix =) I've had it happen before, but can't remember what I googled | 23:03 |
| ghostnik11 | is their a way to use the windows driver and then have ubuntu look through that driver and install the driver for ubuntu | 23:03 |
| lickalott | not the answer you probably wanted to hear, but I've never dug into enough | 23:03 |
| lickalott | did you just upgrade to 14.04? | 23:03 |
| rap424 | lickalott: I will have to do the same until I can find the page I used before | 23:04 |
| brunost | ghostnik11: what are you looking for a driver for? | 23:04 |
| rap424 | lickalott: I was on 12.04 and did the dist-upgrade | 23:04 |
| lickalott | im still on 12.04. I'd be anxious to see what the fix is if/when you find it. | 23:04 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, b/c i can't get bluetooth to work so i want to know how i can get it to work. when i run commands it can't show the adapter name | 23:04 |
| catalase | hi i need some help with group file permissions | 23:05 |
| lickalott | ask away catalase | 23:05 |
| catalase | a user created a folder in my home directory, user:user | 23:05 |
| catalase | i cannot delete it because they own it | 23:05 |
| rap424 | lickalott: I will post anything I find here | 23:05 |
| catalase | but i am the server administrator and i own the server | 23:05 |
| catalase | i added myself to their group | 23:06 |
| catalase | but i still cannot delete the folder | 23:06 |
| lickalott | server administrator = root? | 23:06 |
| catalase | i am the server administrator, i have sudo access, root access etc | 23:06 |
| catalase | i can add myself to group root if i want to | 23:07 |
| lickalott | did you try su root and try? | 23:07 |
| lickalott | just throwing it out there. | 23:07 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, when i run the lspci command it doesn't show the bluetooth adapter | 23:07 |
| catalase | lickalott, should i not be able to delete their file if they own it and it is in their group, but i am in their group? | 23:08 |
| catalase | i shouldn't have to sudo for that, or should i? | 23:08 |
| brunost | ghostnik11: and you have no clue what adapter this is? | 23:08 |
| eeee | catalase: i think it depends on the permissions of the file itself | 23:08 |
| pa | why "set as default" for choosing another application to open file types with does not work? | 23:08 |
| pa | i click it and nothing changes | 23:08 |
| lickalott | should....yes. But I've run into the same issue on a Solaris 10 box coming in from ubuntu on ssh and had to physically su to root (actually su -l root) then it worked. | 23:08 |
| ghostnik11 | i think its atheros or broadcom brunost here is my lspci output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7832992/ | 23:08 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, i can go to virtualbox and sign into windows 7 and see what driver it is. Also my computer originally came with windows 8 so i went on Lenovo website and downloaded the driver. | 23:09 |
| lickalott | also I've seen it where new users in a group don't get "published" right away (i.e. a restart or command push to update the group is required) | 23:10 |
| brunost | ghostnik11: you need linux speciffic drivers, but you might know that | 23:10 |
| akp | hello | 23:11 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, yeah can you point me in the direction to get them | 23:11 |
| akp | where can i get an updated version of wireshark that wont crash for ubuntu 14.04? | 23:11 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, is it possible to look up the actually driver on google for linux | 23:11 |
| brunost | if you can find out what bluetooth module you have you will also be able to find the driver | 23:12 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, give me one sec so i can try and find it on google | 23:13 |
| akurilin | quick question: what's the defualt ubuntu shell for newly created users? Is it fair to assume it's always bash? | 23:16 |
| brunost | akurilin: as long as you haven't set them to use anything else I believe it should | 23:17 |
| ghostnik11 | can anyone tell me imagebin site because its not working | 23:17 |
| Nickd55345353 | hello | 23:17 |
| Nickd55345353 | some of the software in the software center is out of date | 23:17 |
| akurilin | brunost: perfect thank you | 23:17 |
| Nickd55345353 | how can idownload manually? | 23:17 |
| kendrick_ | the terminal command for the software centre? | 23:20 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, here is an image bin of the bluetooth module: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=18477 | 23:20 |
| monfuentes | hi I have a problem whit the fonts in somme program, some body knows something about? | 23:21 |
| brunost | ghostnik11: you see the problem is that that is some kind of universal driver package for three different modules, google your exact model number or sku number on the case | 23:22 |
| lickalott | catalase, did you try that? | 23:22 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, okay one sec bro | 23:23 |
| Ziko | kendrick_: software-center | 23:25 |
| slacko178981 | I'm backing up a hard drive with dd. Does piping dd to gzip affect the copy speed in any way? | 23:27 |
| ghostnik11 | brunost, here it is i think: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=18478 | 23:30 |

| furkan | is there any way to run Xorg Server 1.16 on Ubuntu 14.04? or do we have to wait for 14.10? | 23:35 |

| _1_tomy | hola | 23:41 |
| Lunario | Sooo, I am currently reinstalling Ubuntu after all the trouble with the deleted EFI bootloader. I am currently in the partitioning process, set up an EFI boot partition which the installer advised me to do, but now after creating one for ubuntu, I get the warning: "Two file systems are assigend the same mount point (/boot/efi):SCSI5 partition 10 [the ubuntu bootloader-to-be that I created] and SCSI5 partition #2 [the windows 8.1 bootl | 23:42 |
| Lunario | oader which I do not want to lose as I want to dual-boot]. Please correct this by changing mount points. | 23:42 |
| Lunario | Could anybody tell me what to do so that the bootloader installs correctly without deleting the Windows 8.1 bootloader? (unless it automatically adds its content to GRUB so that I can also boot Windows if I want to) | 23:43 |
| === gfdegr is now known as Chloe | ||
| === Chloe is now known as Chloe1 | ||
| Henesy | Grub should auto-add the windows partition | 23:46 |
| Lunario | Ok, but then which mount point do I have to change and to where do I have to set it? | 23:47 |
| eeee | Lunario: i think you can change the partition's mount point by double clicking on it | 23:50 |
| eeee | set the sda2 partition not to mount, and set the new one to mount | 23:50 |
| Chloe1 | hello | 23:50 |
| Lunario | ok, will try, thanks | 23:50 |
| Chloe1 | how can i access the tmp folder ty | 23:50 |
| Oriiiiiiin | @Chloe1 from commandline? | 23:51 |
| Oriiiiiiin | or using your gui? | 23:51 |
| Chloe1 | lol | 23:51 |
| Chloe1 | yes | 23:51 |
| Chloe1 | but when i open the folder | 23:51 |
| Chloe1 | it says access denied | 23:51 |
| Lunario | well actually, I just noticed that it makes probably more sense to just mark the old EFI partition (sda2) from windows as EFI boot partition, doesn't it? | 23:52 |
| Lunario | then I wouldn't have two, which could conflict with each other | 23:52 |
| Lunario | guess I will try that | 23:52 |
| eeee | i quite don't follow.. | 23:52 |
| eeee | *don't quite | 23:53 |
| Oriiiiiiin | @Chloe1 Sounds like you may have accidentally changed the permissions for /tmp | 23:53 |
| Chloe1 | oh | 23:53 |
| Chloe1 | can u tell mre how to rechange them plz:) | 23:53 |
| Oriiiiiiin | from a quick google it looks like it should be set to 1777 but you'll probably need root | 23:55 |
| Lunario | what I did some minutes ago was to create a partition marked as "EFI Boot" for ubuntu, as it told me to do so when I wanted to install it. But after doing so I got the warning message that I pasted above (same mount point of the two efi partitions). So I figure it makes more sense to just change the type of the old EFI partition from Fat 32 (as it is now) to EFI Boot? | 23:55 |
| Oriiiiiiin | so : sudo chmod 1777 | 23:55 |
| Lunario | The EFI partition for ubuntu was not yet written to disk anyway | 23:55 |
| Oriiiiiiin | so : sudo chmod 1777 /tmp* | 23:56 |
| Oriiiiiiin | errr | 23:56 |
| Oriiiiiiin | without the * | 23:56 |
| Oriiiiiiin | lol | 23:56 |
| Chloe1 | thank you | 23:56 |
| Chloe1 | <3 | 23:56 |
| Lunario | Does my logic make sense? | 23:56 |
| Oriiiiiiin | Can you access it now? | 23:56 |
| Chloe1 | YEAH | 23:56 |
| Chloe1 | I LOVE YOU | 23:56 |
| Chloe1 | omg | 23:57 |
| Chloe1 | ty | 23:57 |
| Chloe1 | <3 | 23:57 |
| Oriiiiiiin | Have fun | 23:57 |
| Chloe1 | sereously | 23:57 |
| Chloe1 | i love u | 23:57 |
| Chloe1 | ty | 23:57 |
| Oriiiiiiin | lol | 23:57 |
| Oriiiiiiin | anytime | 23:57 |
| eeee | Lunario: the conflict is due to them having the same mount points though, not partition type | 23:58 |
| eeee | ? | 23:58 |
| Lunario | Yes | 23:59 |
| Lunario | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:59 |
| Lunario | That page also says it is "strongly recommended" to have just one EFI partition per disk | 23:59 |
| Lunario | (in the paragraph "Creating an EFI partition") | 23:59 |
| eeee | true, you're not changing the partition type really though | 23:59 |
| eeee | (i dont think so) | 23:59 |
