[00:03] <disappearedng> Hey where should I go if I have a question about make files?
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <aguitel> ubuntu 14.04.1 is up ?
[00:06] <eeee> disappearedng: man gcc? what exactly are you trying to do?
[00:07] <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] <OerHeks> aguitel, July 24th https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[00:07] <aguitel> OerHeks: daftykins thanks
[00:08] <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?
[00:09] <daftykins> mojtaba: no, but please stop using this channel as your substitute for research and online searching :P
[00:10] <mojtaba> daftykins: Actually I could not find anything in google.
[00:10] <mojtaba> daftykins: thx anyway.
[00:13] <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)
[00:18] <disappearedng> eeee: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24856173/makefile-customizing-variables this is my question
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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)
[00:22] <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.
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <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...
[00:25] <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/
[00:26] <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~
[00:29] <iamwhoiam> daftykins: removed the region prefix from all sources...
[00:30] <daftykins> ah so you weren't using archive.
[00:30] <daftykins> but blah.archive.
[00:31] <iamwhoiam> daftykins: yeap :S
[00:32] <iamwhoiam> daftykins: thought it was by default - meaning that all sources have such region prefix depending the installation..
[00:32] <iamwhoiam> daftykins: apparently it is not the case..
[00:32] <daftykins> iamwhoiam: i think it tries, yeah
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <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] <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
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <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?
[00:48] <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...
[00:49] <victoria__> anybody who knows about wlan0 pls
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <victoria__> hum
[00:51] <daftykins> ah no you do get an interface
[00:51] <victoria__> wait, please let me see
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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] <Ben64> victoria__: start with the command daftykins suggested.... "ifconfig -a" and pastebin it for us
[00:54] <Ben64> !pastebin | victoria__

[00:57] <Ben64> if it is more than one line, ALWAYS use a pastebin
[00:57] <victoria__> ok, docki, i tried it
[00:59] <victoria__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7827804/
[00:59] <victoria__> pastebin is amazing :)
[00:59] <Nordom> anyone here experienced with VT-d stuff and using VMs such as xen?
[01:00] <PCworker> When using a Ubuntu Live CD to install it onto a desktop computer, What do you recommend to be the mount point? there are several choices. I usually use "/" for the mount point.
[01:00] <victoria__> pls i posted on pastebin i'm waiting some help thank you all
[01:01] <Beldar> PCworker, / is the standard use.
[01:02] <victoria__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7827813/
[01:02] <victoria__> please i need some help
[01:02] <PCworker> Beldar: Thanks, just wanted to know that I was doing it right.
[01:03] <Beldar> PCworker, always good to be sure.
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <daftykins> victoria__: "rfkill list all | pastebinit"
[01:05] <victoria__> okes, thanki you i try it now
[01:07] <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?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <daftykins> it's either a sliding button somewhere or a keypress of Fn+ a function key (F1 - F12)
[01:11] <victoria__> nothing happend on my dell  lap top
[01:11] <victoria__> the "wireless" button is doesn't work :$
[01:12] <daftykins> so you identified it?
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <daftykins> victoria__: re-run the rfkill command to see if it changed
[01:14] <victoria__> just "rfkill" ?
[01:14] <daftykins> no same as before
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <Nordom> feitingen: what is libvirt?
[01:20] <feitingen> Nordom: a wrapper around qemu/kvm, makes life a bit easier
[01:20] <Nordom> feitingen: for Ubuntu or a different OS?
[01:21] <feitingen> Nordom: linux in general :) http://libvirt.org/
[01:22] <Nordom> well I am planning on making a linux gaming machine using vt-d and wanted to pick peoples brains about it
[01:22] <Nordom> daftykins said it was a bad idea with ubuntu
[01:22] <Nordom> and thats all I have collected so far
[01:23] <daftykins> nah i just meant it's not supported
[01:23] <tlanix> iam trying to decide between ubuntu and manjaro
[01:24] <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] <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
[01:25] <TJ-> s/have/can/
[01:25] <tlanix> yes
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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?
[01:28] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:34] <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)
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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 :)
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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?
[01:42] <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?
[01:43] <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?
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <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?
[01:46] <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.
[01:47] <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.
[01:48] <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.
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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?
[01:51] <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 ;)
[01:52] <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?
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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! ;_;
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <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
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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?
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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.
[02:08] <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?
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <brucelee> very interesting
[02:10] <brucelee> so that number known as the "signing key" is the signature?
[02:11] <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).
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <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
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <allons-y> hm
[02:18] <TJ-> allons-y: Try buring a real DVD/CD and booting from that maybe?
[02:19] <allons-y> right now I don't have any DVDs xD
[02:24] <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?
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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.
[02:29] <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.
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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] <icesword> hello hello
[02:33] <RP_2> can I get an invite into #ubuntu-beginners ?
[02:33] <icesword> wtf?
[02:34] <MirrorImage> http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 ?
[02:34] <icesword> !ops
[02:34] <hasek79> how do i fix the unity problem with the hud and the "w" key
[02:34] <RP_2> hi icesword
[02:34] <rww> icesword: something we can help you with?
[02:34] <icesword> rww, grass mud horse
[02:34] <rww> icesword: hrm?
[02:34] <icesword> i want to ubuntu CDs
[02:34] <icesword> buy
[02:35] <rww> icesword: http://store.canonical.com/
[02:35] <icesword> since i've been supporting ubuntu since 2007, rww, would there be any discounts
[02:36] <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?
[02:37] <infinmed> hi
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <brucelee> oh i see
[02:39] <laspahr> ... why do I still have the "install Ubuntu icon on my Launcher thing?
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <dsprc> brucelee: will have to dig around for it on the "Security Now!" page
[02:43] <brucelee> on the security now page
[02:45] <dsprc> brucelee: haha. you'll be there for a while digging through almost a decade of shows.. ;P
[02:53] <laughingtiger> hello? help, somebody, anybody?

[02:57] <laughingtiger> Ubuntu and Linux is a revolutionary OS that makes Windows a needless junk.
[02:59] <Ozera||> anyone know how to get Steam to work on ubuntu 12.04 64bit?  This is the error I am getting http://pastebin.com/pLtTjrcn Basically, upon starting...it just won't update. It sits 0%
[03:00] <dsprc> Ozera||: steam isn't supported here (basically anything not in the default repo isn't either)
[03:00] <Ozera||> So... I have to go through Wine?
[03:01] <laughingtiger> dsprc, are you facing the same problem with me?
[03:01] <Daekdroom> Using Steam through Wine won't allow you to install native Linux clients.
[03:01] <rww> Ozera||: no, you have to use a version of Ubuntu that includes Steam and ask for help here, or use a version of Ubuntu that Valve supports and ask Valve.
[03:01] <bsdbandit> good morning all
[03:02] <sydney> bsdbandit: its 11:00 pm here ;P
[03:02] <Ozera||> rww, wait wait there are versions of Ubuntu that include steam?

[03:05] <Ozera||> dsprc, LTS?
[03:05] <bsdbandit> i was looking at the clock wrong
[03:05] <bsdbandit> im just getting up
[03:05]  * bsdbandit yawns
[03:06] <dsprc> Ozera||: Long Term Supprt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[03:06] <dsprc> Ozera||: 14.04.x should do it
[03:07] <laughingtiger> well, if computer hasn't been invented, the world would've been a better place.
[03:07] <nrdb> can i use a raid10 for the /boot directory
[03:07] <Ozera||> ugh
[03:07] <Ozera||> ubuntu upgrades always end in failure and destruction
[03:08] <laughingtiger> modern technology has seriously damaged this planet
[03:08] <sydney> Ozera||: How,ive never had issues???
[03:08] <nrdb> laughingtiger, without it this planet wouldn't support the number of people currently here there would be mass famine
[03:09] <trickyhero> so I need to use this program http://www.magellangps.com/contentmanager should I just try wine or is there a way to use mac apps
[03:09] <Ozera||> sydney, idk. I leave tomorrow on an important trip and I don't want to risk something happenng
[03:09] <Jeffrey_f> nrdb: http://www.howtoforge.com/install-ubuntu-with-software-raid-10
[03:10] <Ozera||> also, by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS mine should still work... i'm using 12.04
[03:10] <laughingtiger> nrdb, wouldn't that be a good thing for this planet?
[03:10] <dsprc> laughingtiger: join #ubuntu-offtopic and you can talk about environmentalism all you want
[03:11] <laughingtiger> I've already joined offtopic, it's a busy place. people there are talking about nonsense things.
[03:12] <dsprc> Ozera||: yeah i dont blame ya; never upgrade on a deadline :s
[03:12] <Ozera||> agh
[03:12] <Ozera||> i bloody hate linux for media shit
[03:12] <Ozera||> there always /something/ wrong

[03:14] <allons-y> now I'm using dd in order to make a bootable USB
[03:14] <Ozera||> ._.
[03:14] <allons-y> yes
[03:14] <allons-y> It was a completely disaster
[03:14] <dsprc> allons-y: so did i and now i've no windows manager :)
[03:14] <laughingtiger> Ozera|| you'll love this OS.
[03:15] <allons-y> that's right dsprc ç
[03:15] <allons-y>  neither do I
[03:15] <Ozera||> all I wanted was Steam to work @_@
[03:15] <laughingtiger> although we actually don't need this electronic shit.
[03:15] <Ozera||> the LTS site page says it should be supported
[03:16] <laughingtiger> then don't play games, Ozera||
[03:16] <laughingtiger> if you want to play games, why not buying playstation or xbox?

[03:33] <ubuntuser13> quizme: hello!
[03:34] <quizme> i want to install ubuntu on a galaxy notepro.  has anybody tried the ubuntudualboot on that device?
[03:34] <quizme> just wondering if it would work
[03:35] <ubuntuser13> quizme: there is so much stuff avail on internet. yes you can choose linux on android .
[03:35] <dsprc> quizme: try #ubuntu-touch if that is what you're looking for
[03:36] <quizme> i'm just wondering if i would have problem with the device drivers and what not, there aren't many users of galaxy notepro from what i understand
[03:37] <ubuntuser13> quizme: install complete linux installer and get ubuntu iso from their sourceforge project .  easiest and safe way to install ubuntu on android.
[03:37] <laughingtiger> galaxy, the samsun shit? lol, just joking
[03:37] <quizme> i know i kind of regret buying a samsung
[03:37] <quizme> they flash ads on my screen all the time.
[03:37] <quizme> that's why i want to install ubuntu
[03:38] <quizme> among many other reasons
[03:38] <Jeffrey_f> Ask the we keep the curse words off the chat please
[03:38] <dotDeb> I have a Samsung and don't have that
[03:38] <dotDeb> oh you're not talking about phones
[03:38] <dotDeb> whoops
[03:39] <quizme> dotdeb, galaxy notepro 12.2 it's meant for "business users"  so there are all these default pay-oriented apps installed
[03:39] <dotDeb> yuck
[03:39] <quizme> yes very yucky
[03:39] <dotDeb> I rooted and removed the proprietary bloatware
[03:39] <dotDeb> from my phone
[03:39] <dotDeb> even play store
[03:39] <quizme> (i love how our language has been moderated to the vocabulary of 2 year old curse words.)  :)
[03:39] <dotDeb> never really used it
[03:39] <dotDeb> haha
[03:40] <Ozera||> dsprc, umm...steam window just popped up wtf?
[03:40] <Ozera||> uh
[03:40] <Ozera||> what is happening linux please @_@
[03:40] <dsprc> Ozera||: then we have no problem after all :)
[03:41] <Ozera||> dsprc, would you happen to know how to pull up a CD that is in the CD tray? The current CD I have in there should be blank, but I don't think it is being recognized
[03:41] <Ozera||> maybe my CD drive is fucked?
[03:43] <quizme> Ozera||: you mean "your CD drive is yucky"
[03:44] <Jeffrey_f> Ozera||: Hmmm.  Borked would be a good word   :P
[03:44] <dsprc> Ozera||: try 'mount /dev/sr0 /YourMountPointHere'
[03:45] <dsprc> /media/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom are the "usual" choices for mount points
[03:47] <Ozera||> uh
[03:49] <dsprc> Ozera||: oh, you will have to put a filesystem on it first if it doesnt have one
[03:53] <dsprc> just dont ask me what the "right" way to do that is, because i write disks with 'dd' so im not the person to ask
[03:53] <arussel> is there a way to list the packages that were added ? (not all packages on a server, only the one added)
[03:54] <dsprc> arussel: you want to list all packages you have installed?
[03:54] <arussel> dsprc: yes
[03:55] <rocko> how do I keep my encrypted home parititon? when I install a fresh ubuntu on to root parititon
[03:55] <arussel> a list of package installed after a date would do it too
[03:56] <dsprc> arussel: dpkg --get-selections > ~/InstalledPackages.list
[03:56] <arussel> dsprc: thanks
[03:56] <dsprc> arussel: it wont sort by date, just give you a list
[03:57] <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 :)
[03:58] <arussel> well, sed and grep are my friends, if I need aws, I just call ruby to the rescue :-)
[03:58] <arussel> s/aws/awk/
[03:58] <dsprc> you can also get a category sorted list of packages by running 'aptitude' w/o arguments

[04:22] <linocisco> I checked linuxtv.org . found no drivers
[04:22] <linocisco> can someone help me?
[04:23] <dsprc> pastebin the output of 'lsusb' and someone may be able to better help if they've a clue
[04:25] <dsprc> linocisco: or just paste here the lines related only to this device
[04:25] <Beldar> linocisco, 13.10 went eol just days ago upgrade to 14.04 while 13.10 can still call the ubuntu repos.
[04:26] <radaaam> hey guys, just wondering if anybody can help me with a torrentflux issue on server 14.04 ?
[04:26] <dotDeb> !ask | radaaam
[04:26] <radaaam> oic
[04:27] <radaaam> does anybody know why my torrents instantly say 'download failed' when running a torrent on torrentflux 2.4? using ubuntu 14.04
[04:27] <linocisco> Beldar
[04:28] <linocisco> Beldar, how to upgrade to 14.04?
[04:30] <dsprc> linocisco: try: update-manager -d
[04:30] <dsprc> but do a normal update first so everything is in order
[04:31] <gunarm_> i'm trying to update libtorrent by building it from source and i'm out of my depth
[04:31] <dsprc> linocisco: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
[04:31] <dsprc> after that do the update-manager -d
[04:31] <linocisco> dsprc, apt-get update-manager-d?
[04:31] <dsprc> no no no
[04:32] <gunarm_> does this look like the make install worked? http://pastebin.com/KPCaU5Dr
[04:32] <dsprc> linocisco: do the normal apt-get update and upgrade first
[04:32] <linocisco> dsprc, ok
[04:33] <dsprc> when that is finished, run: update-manager -d
[04:33] <radaaam> does anybody know why my torrents instantly say 'download failed' when running a torrent on torrentflux 2.4? using ubuntu 14.04
[04:33] <linocisco> dsprc, software updater said 158MB updates found
[04:33] <andrej> How do I find out whether a file from a package is considered a config file
[04:33] <dsprc> linocisco: install all the normal updtes first or you will be in a world of hurt
[04:34] <linocisco> dsprc, ok. thanks I got it. when I have upgraded to 14.04,can ubuntu automatically detect my USB DVB-T ezcap tuner?
[04:34] <linocisco> dsprc, ok. thanks I got it. when I have upgraded to 14.04,can ubuntu automatically detect my USB DVB-T ezcap tuner and install drivers?
[04:35] <dsprc> linocisco: this has yet to be determined. Beldar suggested that you upgrade while you still have a chance to
[04:35] <linocisco> dsprc, ok bro. thanks. wil do it first
[04:35] <ghostnik11> how can i get bluetooth to work in ubuntu 13.04
[04:36] <dotDeb> gnostnik11 what's the problem
[04:37]  * dsprc so many unsupported desktops
[04:38] <Beldar> dsprc, Have you added ppa to your install?
[04:38] <rocko> is the latest ubuntu have lvm installed by default?
[04:38] <Beldar> rocko, by default no
[04:38] <dsprc> Beldar: it aint me... :)
[04:38] <Beldar> dsprc, Sorry about that
[04:39] <rocko> what are the benefits of doing this?
[04:39] <rocko> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM
[04:39] <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?
[04:39] <dsprc> same problem as this guy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/500133
[04:39] <allen> hey all, anyone have time to help with a video driver issue
[04:40] <dotDeb> !ask | allen
[04:40] <Beldar> rocko, Not really a support issue, you might research the differentials.
[04:40] <rocko> what should I use primary or logical parition? Beldar
[04:41] <Beldar> rocko, Never used lvm myself, but HD's have limited numbers of primaries if a msdos.
[04:41] <allenrm> i can't seem to be able to use my nvidia drivers, whenever i use the proprietary driver i get an error on boot that i will be in low graphics mode or something like that
[04:42] <dsprc> allenrm: hang on
[04:42] <dsprc> allenrm: there is a race condition with lightdm that often causes this...
[04:42] <Beldar> allenrm, the proprietary in the ubuntu repos or from nvidia?
[04:42] <ghostnik11> dotDeb, the problem is i need bluetooth to work but it doesn't work even though i have bluemanz installed and other stuff i read on the internet that would make it work
[04:43] <allenrm> Beldar, i think it is from the repo
[04:43] <Ozera||> dsprc, wtf..so apparently I can't burn an ISO to a Dual Layer DVD?
[04:43] <Ozera||> its a DVD+R and it says it needed a right type
[04:43] <Beldar> Ozera||, NO swearing or acronyms of thanks.
[04:44] <radaaam> does anybody know why my torrents instantly say 'download failed' when running a torrent on torrentflux 2.4? using ubuntu 14.04
[04:44] <dotDeb> ghostnik11 not sure sorry, it may help to list the component name
[04:45] <Ozera||> dsprc, "please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD"
[04:46] <dsprc> allenrm: in your /etc/init/lightdm.conf add: "sleep 2" (without "quotes") right above the line that says 'exec lightdm'
[04:47] <dsprc> Ozera||: no clue \o/
[04:48] <rocko> what are live snapshots?
[04:49] <allenrm> dsprc looking for it now
[04:50] <ghostnik11> dotDeb, my computer is the lenovo ideapad s400 and the bluetooth driver is: Bluetooth Driver (CyberTan/Broadcom, Liteon/Atheros, Intel)
[04:51] <dsprc> allenrm: it is down near the bottom
[04:52] <allenrm> dsprc,  should it say start on plymouth-ready or Ubuntu-ready, i saw something on a forum saying it should be ubuntu?
[04:53] <dsprc> allenrm: mine says plymouth but idk if it matter
[04:53] <allenrm> cool, but i can't save it, its protected
[04:54] <dsprc> oh you have to have root priviledge
[04:54] <allenrm> yes
[04:54] <dsprc> sudo nano /etc/init/lightdm.conf
[04:55] <Ozera||> dsprc, apparently mine can only read CDs and not DVDs?
[04:55] <allenrm> ok done bud, so i need to reboot to test this right
[04:56] <dsprc> allenrm: yup. if it still doesnt work someone can help you do nvidia voodo chants
[04:57] <allenrm> should i install a new nvidia first
[04:57] <dsprc> allenrm: sure. why not? :)
[04:57] <PlanckWalk> Somehow I've got mismatched versions of libqt4-qt3support and libqt4-sql.  My package manager is recommending that I remove the 229 packages that depend upon those.
[04:58] <dsprc> allenrm: do you already have the proprietary drivers installed?
[04:58] <allenrm> dsprc, no i had to purge them to get back into the desktop
[04:59] <allenrm> so i should run apt-get install nvidia-current?
[04:59] <svm_invictvs> Heya
[04:59] <dsprc> you can try to install them again then
[04:59] <svm_invictvs> how do I enable/disable services in the default runlevel on Ubuntu?
[04:59] <rocko> where is the ubuntu alternative installer?
[05:00] <toolazyforaname> rocko: is that the minimal/net install?
[05:00] <rocko> no
[05:00] <allenrm> dsprc, thanks for the help, they are installing then i'll try rebooting
[05:00] <dsprc> allenrm: cool
[05:01] <dsprc> rocko: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
[05:01] <rocko> http://askubuntu.com/questions/457513/what-happened-to-with-the-alternate-installer-in-ubuntu-14-04
[05:01] <PlanckWalk> I have libqt4-sql_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6 installed (which matches the other libqt4 packages I have), yet libqt4-qt3support_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.5
[05:01] <rocko> how do I setup ubuntu with lvm?
[05:02] <PlanckWalk> How can I resolve this discrepancy?  I can't manually download a libqt4-qt3support_4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6 from ubuntu as it's not in the repositories anymore
[05:02] <PlanckWalk> It jumps straight from ubuntu4.5 to ubuntu4.8
[05:02] <dsprc> rocko: i guess you will have to netinstall or minimal then
[05:03] <rocko> what is minimal?
[05:03] <somsip> !minimal | rocko
[05:03] <dsprc> rocko: basically a shell.. it is smaller than the normal netinstaller
[05:04] <toolazyforaname> rocko: it gives only what you need for the most part
[05:04] <dsprc> toolazyforaname: depending on the hardware config, not even that :P
[05:04] <toolazyforaname> dsprc: true, but it's a great starting point if you want to set up a server
[05:04] <toolazyforaname> shouldn't be running X on that anyway . . .
[05:06] <rocko> is this it? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[05:07] <toolazyforaname> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD this is it, i believe
[05:08] <dsprc> rocko: the netboot is for pixie booting the image across a network
[05:09] <rocko> so I want the minimal cd then?
[05:09] <toolazyforaname> rocko: what do you want to do with it?
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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..
[05:11] <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] <rocko> I know how to install x
[05:12] <rocko> what about fstab?
[05:12] <rocko> isn't that the volume manager or something?
[05:12] <toolazyforaname> file system mounting
[05:12] <allenrm> dsprc, hey bud no go, as soon as it boots i get a warning that i am in low graphics mode
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <rocko> is there a way to get the ncurses lvm installer running on the normal ubuntu cd?
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <Beldar> PlanckWalk, Did you do a partial update/upgrade?
[05:19] <PlanckWalk> No
[05:19] <PlanckWalk> Just the usual desktop update, which reported success
[05:20] <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 :)
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <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] <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.
[05:23] <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)
[05:24] <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

[05:32]  * mystica555-work honestly wonders who's idea it was to wait over 2 bloody minutes for DHCP at bootup -- if it didn't get a DHCP address in about 20 seconds, IT WONT EVER GET A DHCP ADDRESS, why the hell is it waiting forever and making me pull my hair out because i cant ctrl-c it?
[05:33]  * epicnah always
[05:34] <dsprc> ah, i got my problem all sorted out. now to go help that one guy.. :)
[05:38] <grendal_prime> ok guys help me out
[05:39] <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..
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <grendal_prime> radaaam, i could swear there are command lines for that
[05:44] <grendal_prime> http://askubuntu.com/questions/65387/is-there-bittorrent-software-that-runs-in-a-terminal
[05:44] <grendal_prime> transmission
[05:45] <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.
[05:46] <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".
[05:47] <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.
[05:49] <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] <addy> varunendra: Hi Varun, are you there?
[05:50] <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] <DrRodneyMckay> That sucks
[05:50] <DrRodneyMckay> My Main job is working with Apple stuff all day.
[05:50] <DrRodneyMckay> Hold on, Ram is user servicable anyway
[05:51] <radaaam> i know!
[05:51] <DrRodneyMckay> radaaam: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651
[05:51] <grendal_prime> apple is really good at that crap
[05:51] <radaaam> yet they are saying i've voided the warrenty by replacing it
[05:51] <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
[05:52] <DrRodneyMckay> Bias is a trait of Apes as well.
[05:53] <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"
[05:54] <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 :@
[05:55] <DrRodneyMckay> IBM wont service or even look at my T Series from years ago. So its not just Apple.
[05:55] <grendal_prime> you should get an apple wheel computer you sound perfect for that machine
[05:56] <radaaam> DrRodneyMckay what state r u in mate?
[05:56] <DrRodneyMckay> Got enough machines, 2 MacBook Pros, 1 Mac Mini, 1 PC Desktop and 3 Linux Boxes in a rack.
[05:56] <xangua> !ot
[05:56] <radaaam> oer a mac mini!
[05:56] <grendal_prime> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA
[05:56] <DrRodneyMckay> radaaam: PM me so we dont take this channel off topic
[05:58] <grendal_prime> its THAT FUNNY aint it...
[05:58] <grendal_prime> hahahahah
[05:58] <grendal_prime> im out
[06:01] <grendal_prime> DrRodneyMckay, why would you have all that when you can virtualize all of it?
[06:03] <painitx> Probably the wrong place to ask ... but what is your favorite and in your opinion the best Linux distro ?
[06:04] <grendal_prime> ubuntu lts
[06:04] <grendal_prime> been doing this over 10 years
[06:04] <grendal_prime> 13 actually
[06:04] <grendal_prime> big debian fan for a long time..but ubuntu does desktop support much better
[06:06] <grendal_prime> besides its all based on debian anyway
[06:06] <bipul> Installing Ubuntu 12.04, required a lot of time.
[06:07] <bipul> sorry Ubuntu 14.04 *
[06:07] <grendal_prime> compaired to what?
[06:07] <grendal_prime> oh..i dont know..i dont use it..its not actually lts yet
[06:07] <grendal_prime> crap..i have to dual boot a machine..i dont want to do this to my netbook...grrrr
[06:12] <farsi_> which python version comes preinstalled with ubuntu 12.04?
[06:14] <grendal_prime> the best one...i got to roll...its been real its been fun...and you know the rest

[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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] <disappearedng> Can someone explain what this means? "Also in the child (project) makefile that you are creating, you can create your own makefile targets and based on the target pass in the appropriate values to your program."
[06:47] <edition> is there an App similar to OpenMPT.
[06:47] <Znoosey> thanks Beldar I'll try their instructions :)
[06:47] <Beldar> Znoosey, for what?
[06:48] <Znoosey> Beldar: upgrading
[06:48] <Beldar> Znoosey, There are two eol's after quantal I would fresh install 14.04
[06:48] <Beldar> erry, one anyway
[06:49] <Beldar> I was right first time 13.04 and 13.10 are eol Znoosey
[06:50] <Znoosey> Beldar: I'm getting a new computer in like a month, I was hoping to not have to do that until I switch
[06:51] <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 :/
[06:52] <Beldar> yep
[06:52] <SirLagz> Znoosey: your repos probably remove the Quantal files
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <Beldar> SirLagz, eol's loose repos no matter what repo.
[06:55] <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.
[06:56] <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.
[06:57] <SirLagz> anyway. I'll be out of here then
[06:58] <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.
[06:59] <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 :)
[07:00] <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) :)
[07:01] <SirLagz> varunendra: Indeed
[07:02] <ubuntuser13> varunendra: please tell me how to create a regional loco team.
[07:03] <varunendra> ubuntuser13, I don't know about that, and have answered what I know in #ubuntu-in :)
[07:23] <fatminmin> Hello
[07:25] <Blue1> hello
[07:25] <patrick-> yello
[07:32] <ubuntu13> how do I  access the compiz configuration manager?
[07:32] <ubuntu13> I can't find it in system settings
[07:33] <Beldar> ubuntu13, install it
[07:33] <ubuntu13> I did
[07:33] <ubuntu13> is it because I am using it as livecd?
[07:33] <ubuntu13> I used apt-get install
[07:34]  * Ridley5 LoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoL ubuntu13
[07:34] <Beldar> ubuntu13, Note  I am using your nick to address you. A live cd is reading the disc unless you untick it.
[07:34] <ubuntu13> how do you untick it Beldar ?
[07:35] <ubuntu13> I am using xchat which I installed
[07:35] <ubuntu13> so why not compiz configuration manager?
[07:35] <Beldar> ubuntu13, software & updares or the sources.list
[07:35] <Beldar> updates*
[07:35] <ubuntu13> I just want to open compiz configuration manager
[07:36] <Beldar> ubuntu13, Why are you doing this all on a live setup?
[07:36] <ubuntu13> compizconfig settings manager
[07:36] <Ridley5> ubuntu13 : To open the Settings Manager, click System, mouseover Preferences and select Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[07:36] <ubuntu13> cause I wanna see if things work before I make the switch
[07:37] <ubuntu13> where is system?
[07:37] <Beldar> ubuntu13, we use nicks every time we address another user here, use a vm a live is a bad way to investigate.
[07:38] <Ridley5> system setting ubuntu13 on your menu list
[07:38] <ubuntu13> I don't see preferences
[07:39] <Beldar> ubuntu13, I would not just switch do a dual boot easily made and easily removed. A live is reading the live iso in the end and has limitations, jut not an ideal way.
[07:39] <konvexdaten_> I connected by ubuntu dell laptop on my 40' smart TV, but I can't change the resolution
[07:39] <konvexdaten_> it is just 1024xx600
[07:39] <konvexdaten_> how do I change it?
[07:40] <ubuntu13> system settings then select displays konvexdaten_
[07:40] <konvexdaten_> I am actually running lubuntu :P
[07:41] <ubuntu13> oh well then I dunno
[07:42] <konvexdaten_> no one?
[07:42] <ubuntu13> maybe try  #lubuntu konvexdaten_
[07:44] <ubuntu13> how come my wifi works but bluetooth doesn't? I mean because my wifi card is dual it is wifi plus bluetooth
[07:44] <ubuntu13> would make sense it would be able to use it
[07:45] <konvexdaten_> try #bluetooth ubuntu13 :P
[07:45] <Beldar> !away | CyberJacob|Away
[07:47] <ubuntu13> my name is greg burton
[07:47] <ubuntu13> but you can call me putt putt
[07:47] <ubuntu13> :)
[07:48] <konvexdaten_> Nice, ubuntu13
[07:52] <ubuntu13> why does ubuntu support my wifi card but doesn't support the bluetooth that is builtin to the wifi card?
[07:52] <omerraja> hello, I cant connect to the internet through wireless, Ethernet and USB are working fine. Ubuntu 14.04
[07:52] <omerraja> crucial. Please help me out
[07:52] <konvexdaten_> omerraja
[07:52] <konvexdaten_> maybe you need some drivers
[07:53] <omerraja> ive tried a number of commands in the terminal
[07:53] <ubuntu13> such as?
[07:54] <omerraja>  sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[07:54] <omerraja> and stuff like this
[07:54] <omerraja> Im kinda new to the terminal
[07:54] <omerraja> i dont know much
[07:54] <omerraja> I just copy and paste whateever I see in relative answers on askubuntu
[07:54] <omerraja> normaly works but this isnt working
[07:54] <omerraja> :S
[07:55] <omerraja> And im stuck in the middle of something really urgent
[07:57] <ubuntu13> how do I open a terminal in nautilus?
[07:57] <ubuntu13> usually has an option for it in the menu but I can't find it
[07:57] <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".
[08:01] <Amaze-balls> Good morning
[08:04] <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.
[08:06] <FredddyTom> hey.. skype just disappeared from my computer today
[08:07] <FredddyTom> and i have no idea why.. i didn't uninstall it
[08:07] <Guest4602> Hello people! I need help
[08:07] <Guest4602> I have messed up grub and now I can't restore it
[08:07] <Guest4602> I am now on a live CD
[08:07] <FredddyTom> the binary is missing, all that's left is a bunch of help files and a dpkg/info/skype-bin.list etc  but the binary is missing
[08:07] <Guest4602> does any 1 help me?
[08:08] <varunendra> Guest4602, what have you tried so far to restore grub?
[08:08] <Amaze-balls> http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
[08:10] <sakokap> i installed and removed a program thru wine but there are still remnants of it remaining in wine. how do i completely remove it? help.
[08:10] <Guest4602> Well i already have followed the above link
[08:11] <Guest4602> but sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev on this command it says
[08:11] <Guest4602> no mount point /mnt/dev
[08:12] <Guest4602> and nothing goes OK
[08:12] <Guest4602> I am using Lubuntu derivative LXLE live CD
[08:12] <varunendra> Guest4602, have you also tried boot-repair already? It is usually much easier and error free for normal booting issues.
[08:13] <Guest4602> boot-repair tool?
[08:13] <_1_johnthomasdou> hi
[08:13] <varunendra> Guest4602, yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[08:14] <nrdb> I am having trouble with grub-install --- when I use the command "grub-install  /dev/disk/by-id/ata...." but it returns an error "grub-install: error: failed to get coanonical path of '/dev/ata....'"  ... without the correct directory path
[08:15] <Guest4602> sudo sed 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list on this command it says
[08:16] <Guest4602> sed: can't read /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list: No such file or directory
[08:16] <kcj> Er, my right alt is doing some sort of extra layer nonsense. How do I turn this off?
[08:16] <varunendra> nrdb, are you following some specific guide? Why don't you use just "sudo grub-install /dev/sdx" - where x is the drive you want to install grub on?
[08:17] <nrdb> varunendra, I did ... it gives the exact same error.
[08:18] <varunendra> nrdb, maybe the outputs of "sudo parted -l" and the exact command you are using could help. Give us the pastebin link of these.

[08:27] <Trudko> Hi Guys, what are plans for better support for laptops. I just installed Ubuntu on XPS 12 and I am bit dissapointed. Touchad disabling isnt working properly , battery life is worse even than bloated windows and I found TLP but given that we are talking about such a important problem as batterz life TLP sucks from ease of use point of view and touchscreen support is terrible. Dont get me...
[08:27] <geirha> cd ~user
[08:27] <Trudko> ...wrong I still use it  I am just curious what are plans for it
[08:28] <Trudko> I am even willing to send some monez for it
[08:28] <Rohan_m> somsip: like this cd /home/raj
[08:28] <somsip> Rohan_m: yes
[08:28] <Rohan_m> somsip: thanks man god bless you
[08:29] <aeon-ltd> Trudko: no plans, but the regular
[08:29] <linocisco> hi all
[08:29] <linocisco> how to change crypt password sda5cryp?
[08:29] <raj> stop hacking my computer rohan
[08:29] <raj> oh
[08:30] <nichlas> hehe
[08:31] <nafg___> What is status of uswswap  in ubuntu trusty? Should I try it?
[08:32] <emx> am i mistaken that thunderbird has lightning installed by default?
[08:32] <nafg___> Err, I meant uswsusp
[08:33] <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.
[08:34] <ljunggren> hm
[08:35] <Ridley5> i hate Unity

[08:39] <Trudko> aeon-ltd: what do you mean by but regular?
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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] <sakokap> ah, ok. this worked for removing leftover entries in wine. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-9893ae50079ca7a959258f0bc9a17aaf2e69b391
[08:43] <ljunggren> /disconnect
[08:43] <ljunggren> ios
[08:43] <ljunggren> lol
[08:44] <kcj> Fixed it. Obscure noise.
[08:44] <Trudko> nichlas: personally I dont have external gpu, but I would expect at least something simple as performance profiles, so brightness would decrease when on battery
[08:44] <richard_w> i might have found a bug in libnss-ldapd or nslcd in 14.04. Someone here familiar with these packages?
[08:45] <richard_w> when the workstation is started nslcd does not get the kerberos tickets
[08:45] <richard_w> only restarting it manually seems to work. even doing it in /etc/rc.local does not help.#
[08:45] <cleopatra> how i upgrade ubuntu from 10.4 to the last?
[08:46] <ikonia> !eol | grep cleopatra
[08:46] <ikonia> !eolupgrade | cleopatra
[08:46] <ikonia> sorry my buffer got screwed up then
[08:46] <cleopatra> nice guys
[08:47] <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] <ikonia> odd, the bot's not given you the second link
[08:47] <ikonia> !eolupgrade | cleopatra
[08:48] <ikonia> there you go
[08:48] <ikonia> oh, it's the same
[08:48] <ikonia> sorry, my mistake
[08:51] <nichlas> does anyone know if a 14.04.1 will be released as some point?
[08:51] <DJones> nichlas: Its due in the next couple of days
[08:51] <ikonia> nichlas: yes it will
[08:51] <nichlas> DJones: ok, then my server will be ready
[08:52] <DJones> nichlas: 24th July according to the release schedule
[08:53] <Rohan_m> How i access .ssh folder of other users ? if i am logged in as root
[08:53] <somsip> Rohan_m: you don't
[08:53] <Rohan_m> somsip: why?
[08:53] <somsip> Rohan_m: sorry, as root, /home{user}/.ssh
[08:53] <ikonia> Rohan_m: you don't
[08:53] <ikonia> Rohan_m: you shouldn't be logged in as root
[08:53] <ikonia> and those are peoples personal folders
[08:53] <emx> ikonia, hackers don't care!
[08:54] <ikonia> emx: then we don't help
[08:54] <nrdb> varunendra, http://pastebin.com/CWXKXg53
[08:54] <cai> hello there
[08:54] <emx> ikonia, huh? i'm innocent :P
[08:54] <Rohan_m> ikonia: no i'm not hacker its a project i have to create dynamic files
[08:54] <nrdb> varunendra, there seems to be something wrong with how the disk is setup.
[08:54] <ikonia> Rohan_m: then a.) you don't need to be logged in as root - as that is against the ubuntu privilege model b.) you don't need access to other peoples keys
[08:55] <Rohan_m> somsip: bro i have created a new user raj and in raj's home directory there is no .ssh directory ?
[08:55] <ikonia> Rohan_m: login as those users
[08:55] <zol_grok> Hi! How do you use BDF/PSF/PCF fonts (https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts/tree/master/Terminus) on ubuntu?
[08:56] <zol_grok> I can't get this patched terminus font to show up in Terminator
[08:56] <Rohan_m> ikonia: i login as raj i open home directory i make "ls -a" and i see no ".ssh" there
[08:56] <cai> Can you tell me what 's the meaning ''Failed to load session ubuntu''?
[08:56] <emx> Rohan_m, initially there is no .ssh. only when files are generated such as known_hosts or private and public key
[08:56] <ikonia> Rohan_m: login via ssh
[08:57] <raj> Rohan_m, stay the $#@% out of my home directory
[08:57] <Rohan_m> ikonia: i am already using ssh login !
[08:57] <raj> last warning
[08:57] <Rohan_m> raj: LOLOLOL
[08:57] <ikonia> raj: stop it
[08:57] <ikonia> raj: there is no need for bad language
[08:57] <raj> ikonia, which word were you referring to?
[08:57] <ikonia> Rohan_m: if you have ssh'd in as that user, the .ssh directory gets created
[08:57] <ikonia> raj: the ones you are starting out,
[08:58] <raj> heck?
[08:58] <cfhowlett> !details | cai
[08:58] <ikonia> raj: please don't play games, we know what you are trying to say, that's why you star'd it out, so just stop it please.
[08:58] <Rohan_m> ikonia: i dont get it please elaborate
[08:58] <makara> hi. How can I mount a samba fileshare. I want to run 'du' from terminal
[08:58] <varunendra> nrdb, gpt + zfs = something far far beyond my area of expertise. No clues really. But if it is indeed a GPT based partition scheme, I believe you simply can't install grub on its MBR (because there isn't one). In GPT scheme, the grub, as far as I know, can only be installed on partitions, then EFI takes care of booting it.
[08:58] <Rohan_m> raj: Nice one fella nice one !
[08:59] <zol_grok> Hi! How do you use BDF/PSF/PCF fonts (https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts/tree/master/Terminus) on ubuntu?
[08:59] <ikonia> Rohan_m: when you ssh into the machine as the new user, it will create the directory
[08:59] <cai> cfhowlett..ok,thanks.i will find it with the website of ubuntu.
[08:59] <cfhowlett> cai :)
[09:00] <raj> ikonia, I try not to say he11, please don't be so sensitive about something that doesn't exist. Assumptions are the mother of all mess ups!
[09:00] <Rohan_m> ikonia: ok i made a ssh login  like this  from my pc  "ssh raj@myremotePC" should this be enogh
[09:00] <ikonia> raj: then why did you say "heck"
[09:00] <ikonia> raj: simple rule - if you have to star out the word - don't use it
[09:00] <raj> in case you would freak out about the use of he||
[09:01] <ikonia> raj: so then simple rule - if you need to star out the word, don't use it
[09:01] <raj> not sure how kosher you are
[09:01] <ikonia> Rohan_m: that should create the .ssh directory
[09:01] <cfhowlett> raj keep your discussion to technical matters, leave the comedy for someplace other than ubuntu support = problem solved.
[09:01] <aeon-ltd> Trudko: sorry for the late reply; ubuntu like all linux distros are made of parts/packages and they are all separately maintained so the amount of control canonical has over the battery life of ubuntu is limited, and as stated by others all users have different usage preferences so optimizing for one type of user may not be the best plan for ubuntu. developers in general will consider efficiency, writing a package that's a cpu hog isn't good on desktop or
[09:01] <aeon-ltd> laptop.
[09:02] <Rohan_m> ikonia: ok let me show you the "ls -a" of user "raj's" home directory
[09:02] <zol_grok> When I try to run "setfont" I get the error "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console"
[09:03] <Rohan_m> ikonia: this is what all i get there ".  ..  .bash_history  .bash_logout  .bashrc  .cache  .profile
[09:03] <Rohan_m> "
[09:03] <ikonia> Rohan_m: please pastebin the output of the command "ls -la /home/raj"
[09:03] <Rohan_m> ikonia: ok Friend
[09:04] <FiR3WaLL> Hello :-) I`ve installed package and now have a problem with dependiences. When i trying to install '/ update any package in my system aptitude saying that some packages have unmeet dependiences. Only solution is to remove that I cannot do. It`s custom package provided by my old sys admin... Any way to say ubuntu to ignore everything related to that package ? I dont have deb anymore so cannot reinstall it . Only option is remove it
[09:04] <ikonia> FiR3WaLL remove the packages that cause the conflict
[09:05] <FiR3WaLL> ikonia: i cannot using it every day to conenct to company software.
[09:05] <nichlas> Rohan_m, ikonia: it's just a directory, isn't it easier to just create it (and chmod, chown properly)? It sounds like Rohan_m is planing to modify it manualy anyways?
[09:05] <raj> would be nice if you could use an arbitrary /home/user directory so I could stop being highlighted, thanks
[09:05] <ikonia> FiR3WaLL then you need to mainain that package then
[09:05] <ikonia> nichlas: it's a problem that it's not created
[09:06] <ikonia> nichlas: I'd rather see what the problem is than mask it
[09:06] <ikonia> and then have to hit it with a more serious problem later
[09:06] <Rohan_m> ikonia: here it is http://www.codejaw.com/37cq1
[09:07] <ikonia> Rohan_m: when you are logged in as "raj" do "ssh localhost" and see if that creates .ssh for you
[09:08] <Rohan_m> ikonia: No here i'm logged in as root and for root's home directory there is .ssh directory
[09:08] <Rohan_m> nichlas: would it work form normal ssh authentication
[09:08] <ikonia> Rohan_m: so again - you should not be logged in as root
[09:09] <Rohan_m> ikonia: ok tell the ssh command i should make
[09:09] <ikonia> Rohan_m: my instructions where "login as that user"
[09:09] <Rohan_m> ikonia: should i login as raj
[09:09] <ikonia> Rohan_m: I told you to login as raj via ssh"
[09:09] <Rohan_m> ikonia: ok wait a sec
[09:09] <raj> no, you two should stop highlighting me
[09:09] <richardjh> To build a dash search querying an API, should I be looking at lenses or are they replaced by scopes? Looking for a starting point here.
[09:09] <nichlas> Rohan_m: unless there is a problem, as ikonia suspects, it makes no difference if the directory was created automatically or manually.
[09:10] <nichlas> Rohan_m: but if there *is* a problem, it will not work either way.
[09:10] <richardjh> Struggling to see what is still current info
[09:11] <makara> hello. Why won't mount command accept 'smbfs' as the type?
[09:11] <ikonia> makara: because that's not a valid file system
[09:12] <Rohan_m> ikonia: fella is same again now i made a ssh logged in as "raj" via "ssh raj@remotePC" and i got this on ls -la http://www.codejaw.com/w45l5
[09:12] <ikonia> Rohan_m: right, now do "ssh localhost" while you are logged in as raj
[09:13] <Rohan_m> ikonia: cool
[09:13] <Rohan_m> ikonia: now there is a .ssh directory
[09:14] <Rohan_m> ikonia: cool cool thing
[09:14] <makara> ikonia: The filesystem types which are  currently  supported  include:  adfs,
[09:14] <makara>               affs,  autofs,  cifs,  coda,  coherent,  cramfs, debugfs, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, ext3, ext4, hfs, hfsplus, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos,

[09:15] <cfhowlett> makara source for this data dump?
[09:15] <makara> the man file
[09:15] <makara> man mount
[09:16] <ikonia> makara: "man mount" does not show you available file systems
[09:16] <ikonia> makara: it also shows that the man page is out of date
[09:17] <nichlas> mkander: try using smbmount instead
[09:17] <makara> i tried smbmount
[09:17] <makara> no install candidate either
[09:17] <makara> can't find it
[09:18] <nichlas> mkander: what Ubuntu version are you on?
[09:18] <makara> nichlas: desktop 14.04
[09:18] <nichlas> oh, maybe this will help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/232998/how-do-i-install-smbmount
[09:18] <nichlas> cifs is used instead of smbfs
[09:20] <nichlas> mkander: ikonia was right, the docs are not up to date.
[09:22] <makara> ok, ok. So I've tried "mount -t cifs -o username=BigCorp/Makara,rw //192.168.4.24/f /mnt/storage"
[09:22] <makara> is that format correct? I get "mount error(13): Permission denied"
[09:24] <nichlas> mkander: does it need the workgroup? Non of the examples i've been looking at has included that.
[09:24] <makara> nichlas: The share is part of a Windows AD domain
[09:25] <makara> no workgroup
[09:25] <linocisco> how to change crypt password sda5cryp?
[09:25] <nichlas> mkander: oh domain then. I assume that BigCorp is the domain.
[09:26] <nichlas> mkander: have you tried adding the password= parameter?
[09:26] <makara> nichlas: got it. there's a "domain=" option
[09:26] <makara> so frikking happy
[09:31] <nichlas> linocisco: do you know the old password
[09:34] <NilBud> Anyone else having issues connecting to canonical archive during an apt-get update?
[09:35] <k1l> NilBud: is it the ubuntu repo or is it a 3rd party one like the steam repo?
[09:35] <NilBud> Ubuntu repo.
[09:35] <nichlas> NilBud: i ran update just minutes aco with no problem at security.ubuntu.com
[09:36] <nichlas> NilBud: dk.archive.ubuntu.com gave no problems either.
[09:36] <linocisco> nichlas, sorry. I got it fixed that
[09:36] <nrdb> varunendra, I am going to wipe the disk and try again... to see if I can get it to work.
[09:36] <NilBud> I'll try it again. Tried about 10 mirrors. Was able to install what I needed. But, figured I would ask first.
[09:36] <k1l> NilBud: can you pastebin the output from apt-tget update?
[09:37] <NilBud> It just sits at "connecting to archive.canonical.com" everything else is fine.
[09:37] <NilBud> I'll get you an output though.
[09:39] <NilBud> kIl: http://pastebin.com/3Z1vDBtk
[09:40] <k1l> NilBud: how long did you wait there?
[09:42] <NilBud> kIl: 20-25 minutes.
[09:42] <NilBud> Never gave a timeout. Which in itself is strange.
[09:42] <k1l> NilBud: yeah, i just wanted  to make sure it was more than 30 sec :)
[09:42] <k1l> NilBud: i think about some ipv6 issue=?
[09:43] <NilBud> possible. I'll look into it. New PC, new install.
[09:43] <calzifer> hi, is there no nm-applet in 14.04?
[09:44] <k1l> NilBud: see if that helps: http://www.bearfruit.org/2013/05/06/ubuntu-server-having-ipv6-probs-its-easy-to-disable/
[09:45] <NilBud> Yup. v6 is chugging away.
[09:46] <NilBud> Let's see if it goes now.
[09:47] <NilBud> That did it.
[09:47] <NilBud> poor ipv6. Never works correctly.
[10:01] <linocisco> how to install ezcap DVB-T usb stick on ubuntu?

[10:15] <internetpanda> hey guys, had a quick question. I am running dual monitors, and it put a menubar on the second monitor. Is there anyway to stop this behavior?
[10:15] <loa> internetpanda, maybe setting default monitor will fix this.
[10:16] <loa> what is menubar?
[10:16] <loa> unity dock?
[10:16] <loa> this? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2014.07.21-14%3A16%3A20.png
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <k1l> internetpanda: that will override the panel on top.
[10:18] <k1l> try to click doubled into the video.
[10:18] <DJones> internetpanda: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107583/how-can-i-remove-duplicate-second-unity-launcher-on-a-dual-screen-setup
[10:18] <internetpanda> it does a real full screen, but if I click to my primary monitor and do something on it the bar displays
[10:18] <internetpanda> like it has to be super primary focus the entire time to override the menubar
[10:18] <loa> ah i remember such bug)
[10:19] <DJones> internetpanda: From memory & that link, there should be a setting in display settings about where you want the unity launcher to show
[10:19] <internetpanda> I already did that
[10:19] <k1l> DJones: its about the panel
[10:19] <internetpanda> not the unity launcher
[10:19] <internetpanda> the menubar panel
[10:19] <ajnr> hi , I am not able to enter my ubuntu 14.04 system after rebooting
[10:20] <internetpanda> but ya it's annoying and might make me go to a different distro because it didn't do this on arch with xfce
[10:20] <ajnr> hi , I am not able to enter my ubuntu 14.04 system after rebooting  please help me out !
[10:20] <internetpanda> what did you do before rebooting?
[10:20] <k1l> internetpanda: i just tested it on a 14.04 unity. the bar only displays when i click on a indicator on the other monitor. but when the indicator menue is gone the panel is gone too
[10:20] <ajnr> internetpanda, I just set the CLASSPATH of hjava
[10:20] <internetpanda> this is a fresh install with no setting changes
[10:21] <k1l> internetpanda: which video programm is it? (dont tell me its some flash stuff)
[10:21] <internetpanda> smplayer
[10:21] <ajnr> internetpanda, I just set the classpath of java
[10:22] <internetpanda> dude I saw what you said, but you're annoying and keep copy pasting over and over again so I am not gonna help you. sorry lol
[10:22] <internetpanda> k1l, what video player are you using?
[10:22] <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] <internetpanda> I can try whatever one you use and see if it's an sm player bug
[10:22] <internetpanda> k will try totem to see
[10:24] <internetpanda> does it in totem too
[10:24] <internetpanda> I think you're not doing what I am
[10:24] <internetpanda> try having irc on one monitor and the video full screen on the other
[10:24] <internetpanda> then try and type into irc
[10:25] <internetpanda> and the menubar on the video moitor should come into view
[10:25] <frenda> Is there any repo (or somthing else) to sync ~/.fonts to have latest font?
[10:25] <frenda> fonts*
[10:25] <internetpanda> apt-get update should update all font packages
[10:26] <internetpanda> frenda, I think you're having a different issue. I think you may have installed something that requires a separate font library because fonts are updated often at all
[10:26] <norbert> is it possible to make a simple rename request here related to the description of a package maintained by the "Ubuntu Core Developers"?
[10:26] <k1l> hmm. i just pushed hexchat to the first monitor and have a fullscreen (doubleclick into the video) running on the other 2nd monitor
[10:26] <k1l> and i dont see a panel on that 2nd monitor
[10:27] <blackest> Any idea where I want to be for help with pam_mount
[10:27] <internetpanda> did you click the hexchat and type into it?
[10:27] <internetpanda> when I do that it displays it on the second one
[10:27] <k1l> internetpanda: yep, i am doing it right now
[10:27] <internetpanda> weird
[10:27] <internetpanda> did you change any unity settings or anything? because mine are all stock
[10:28] <k1l> internetpanda: i dont recall to have set there anything special
[10:38] <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.
[10:39] <pjdelport> I have both Windows 8 (which came with the laptop) and Ubuntu installed in UEFI mode, and it worked without problems for months.
[10:40] <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.
[10:41] <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.)
[10:42] <IceBot3000> There's your problem, try booting into Ubuntu
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <k1l> !eolupgrade | Monkey_b
[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?
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <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
[10:52] <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.
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <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
[10:55] <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] <golda> so this is another example of ubuntu dumbing everything down until it is unusable? :(
[10:56] <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.
[10:57] <theadmin> golda: Older apps that use tray icons rather than indicators still can be right-clicked if they support it themselves
[10:58] <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....
[10:59] <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
[11:01] <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
[11:03] <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)
[11:04] <golda> ok done. will logout and relogin. brb
[11:08] <golda> hi. I'm back.
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <golda> how would I reset the unity config for the user (instead of deleting .compiz/compiz-1
[11:10] <IceBot3000> Terminal: unity -reset-all
[11:11] <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
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <golda> unity --reset all   //   ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated
[11:16] <shoujangers> hello
[11:24] <golda> I have no lock-logout applet at all!
[11:25] <golda> now how do I log out?
[11:25] <golda> (and reenable that indicator)
[11:25] <internetpanda> hey k1l, I made a video showing the problem
[11:25] <internetpanda> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v8yIbMLqNg
[11:26] <golda> I reset compiz with dconf, but it still doesnt work when I log in. only on the login screen.
[11:26] <golda> wanted to reset for user.
[11:26] <golda> don't know how.
[11:29] <IceBot3000> Compiz should really be abandoned, no-one is supporting it :S

[11:52] <ubuntu-studio> ok, thx
[12:15] <nbubuntu> can someone guide my through tar backup ? tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz  ? how to output to a different location after compress ?
[12:19] <nbubuntu> can someone guide my through tar backup ? tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz  ? how to output to a different location after compress ?
[12:19] <giorgiodinapoli> /tmp/backup.tar.gz
[12:19] <varunendra> nbubuntu, use -C option after the main command, followed by the desired location
[12:20] <nbubuntu> varunendra : ok , trying now
[12:26] <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.
[12:29] <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>" ?
[12:31] <nbubuntu> varunendra : sorry , I still dont get . Dir1 is the output ?
[12:32] <varunendra> nbubuntu, output is the "/tmp/backup.tar.gz", the <dir 1/2> are the directories to go into that archive
[12:34] <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"
[12:35] <nbubuntu> varunendra : thank , trying now
[12:38] <nbubuntu> varunendra : but does the Music DOcs  have path ?
[12:39] <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.
[12:40] <IdleOne> if you always use the full path then you don't have to worry
[12:41] <varunendra> nbubuntu, I think if you use the full path, they will be backed up the same way - with full path within the archive.
[12:42] <varunendra> yup, confirmed ^^ nbubuntu
[12:43] <capprentice> Is there a OpenVPN GUI Configuration/Control Panel Available except Network Manager VPN plugin or KvPNC?
[12:43] <cfhowlett> !vpn
[12:44] <nbubuntu> varunendra : Thanks it works , but if I wanted multiple folder , I have to "cd" to the directory and type the whole path ? any easier command to tar 25 folder in a time ?
[12:44] <karakedi> tting
[12:46] <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>"}
[12:47] <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.
[12:48] <cfhowlett> capprentice search software center for vpn - there are a few apps listed, but I've not used any of them.
[12:51] <bluj> hi.. i'm on 14.04 lts and i just hit restart for applying updates. now when my machine came back on, my 2nd monitor hooked up to my laptop reverted to 1024x768, and in screen settings it's missing all applicable resolutions. what's up?
[12:59] <MarcGuay> Hi folks.  Ubuntu 14.04.  Any way to add image dimensions as a column in the file browser?
[12:59] <nbubuntu> varunendra : no matter how , I can't tar it even on any extra folder.Can you give me an example how to zip multiple folder ?
[12:59] <|Frodo|> hello! I am using kubuntu 12.04 LTS. recently I configured a vpnc-connection in networkmanager. now I get a new IP and it looks as if it is working. but how can I test, if all packets, UDP and TCP are going though that VPN?
[12:59] <MarcGuay> Found some stuff referring to "Nautilus columns" but appears to be outdated.
[13:01] <varunendra> nbubuntu, I tested myself with "tar -cvpzf Desktop/backup.tar.gz .adobe .compiz-1" to archive ".adobe" and ".compiz-1" directories (hidden, within my Home directory) in an archive "backup.tar.gz" on my Desktop.

[13:02] <varunendra> nbubuntu, the "tar -cvpzf Desktop/backup.tar.gz /home/varun/.adobe /home/varun/.compiz-1" also worked successfully.
[13:02] <nbubuntu> varunendra : how about a gedit file ?
[13:03] <varunendra> nbubuntu, simply type its name like the directories on the command line
[13:03] <nbubuntu> varunendra : I can view ls a text file but can't tar it . "Cannot stat: No such file or directory"
[13:04] <varunendra> nbubuntu, can you show us the exact command you are using? If the name contains blank spaces or special characters, it must be enclosed within double-quotes

[13:06] <RAM399> How do I install grub to /mnt/sda2 ?   I want to install a different bootloader to the mbr then chainload ubuntu on /dev/sda2
[13:07] <varunendra> RAM399, simply "grub-install /mnt/sda2" not working?
[13:08] <RAM399> varunendra:  nope, it says "ext doesn't support embedding. ..not possible.  blocklists are UNRELIABLE ...will not proceed with blocklists.
[13:08] <nbubuntu> varunendra : I will try again later .Thank for the help. It'll take me few hours to figure it out
[13:08] <varunendra> RAM399, I think it shold be /dev/sdb2 - while it is unmounted.
[13:08] <varunendra> nbubuntu, it takes a little tinkering, but everything you wish is possible :)
[13:10] <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
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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).
[13:15] <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
[13:18] <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?
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <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?
[13:21] <RAM399> varundendra..thanks, will try that next.
[13:24] <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.
[13:25] <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.
[13:26] <varunendra> RAM399, good idea :)
[13:28] <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.
[13:30] <cool_boy> Hello guys, I am trying to kill a process, which seems to be a service to me, It gets restart again as soon as I kill it, could anyone help me how to stop it from being start?

[13:35] <dextronic> cant see the applets, or edit in system
[13:36] <cool_boy> cfhowlett: thanks, that is my problem , there is some service which restarts it whenever it gets killed :(
[13:36] <cool_boy> I am not able to find and stop service
[13:36] <dextronic> when i log in theres no network, clock, profile, battery or anything in the toolbar
[13:37] <cool_boy> how to see all running services in ubuntu?
[13:37] <RAM399> So i installed grub-legacy back to sda (hd0) and tried to chainload ubuntu on /dev/sda2, now it says:  BOOTMGR is missing

[13:46] <Czechton> I'm trying to install ubuntu minimal on my acer c720, but I'm getting a fatal error when it tries to install grub
[13:46] <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
[13:47] <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] <Czechton> grub-install '/dev/sda' failed

[13:54] <leni1> hello all. I'd like some help editing the GRUB boot menu entries. Anyone who can assist??
[13:54] <tmmunq> if the HWEs arent supported until the end of precise's support, which HWE should i be using? update to the saucy one or downgrade to the precise one?
[13:55] <RAM399> The live DVD should have a built-in grub recovery tool, but the website says i have to download Boot-Repair which isn't much good with no internet connection
[13:56] <varunendra> RAM399, boot-repair is an easy-to-use way, but not the only way. :)
[13:56] <varunendra> RAM399, you can always use "grub-install" command with suitable options
[13:56] <RAM399> grub-install doesn't work so easily, it requires the user to mount --bind varous diretories and chroot into /mnt
[13:57] <renx> pls help
[13:57] <varunendra> RAM399, I never needed the --bind or chroot things. Unless my knowledge is too outdated, they are not necessary either
[13:58] <varunendra> RAM399, check "grub-install --help", is there a "boot-directory" option available?
[13:58] <Chaos_Zero> where can I place a script so it is in the path of all users?
[13:59] <varunendra> Chaos_Zero, /usr/sbin or /usr/bin
[13:59] <tmmunq> i usually put that in /usr/local/bin
[13:59] <mustmodify> I'm using virtualbox to set up an ubuntu server. I'm installing ubuntu now. It says, "Failed to partition the selected disk... this probably happened because the selected disk is too small to be automatically partitioned." How small is too small?

[13:59] <hunzikes> Hi all. I have lost my evolution contacts when upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 - does anyone know why and can help recover?
[14:00] <cfhowlett> hunzikes don't know why, but you can restore from your backup.
[14:00] <hunzikes> cfhowlett, can you elaborate?
[14:00] <ms7> Hi, I'm trying to install 14.04 from USB on my mid 2010 macbook pro. I have followed this guide (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx) but when booting from the USB, I get a black screen with "no bootable device found" in text. Is this a mac hardware issue?
[14:01] <cfhowlett> hunzikes you DID back up your evolution data, did you not?  there is a restore option in Evolution
[14:01] <varunendra> Chaos_Zero, just Linux hierarchy, makes no difference on operation of the script

[14:02]  * cfhowlett shakes his head and backs away muttering Backup ... always Backup ... ALWAYS
[14:02] <mauro_> ciao
[14:03] <Czechton> cfhowlett: dw i have a backup

[14:10] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: anyway to set up grub in another disk from windows?
[14:12] <nearst> howdy ppl
[14:14] <cfhowlett> theperfectpunk from windows?  why not from Ubuntu live CD as is recommended?
[14:16] <theperfectpunk> grub is installed on my disk
[14:16] <theperfectpunk> but there is no boot record
[14:17] <cfhowlett> theperfectpunk do you have an ubuntu CD/USB?
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: yes, but boot-repair doesn't work
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> even in UEFI
[14:18] <nearst> theperfectpunk, how u know grub install on ur disk ?
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> says the disk is GPT
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> nearst: yea it is installed
[14:18] <theperfectpunk> nearst: i can see all the folder and files of grub
[14:19] <theperfectpunk> from windows
[14:19] <theperfectpunk> nearst: mounted using Ext2 software
[14:19] <cfhowlett> theperfectpunk THAT is not normal.  your ubuntu should not be visible from windows
[14:19] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: mounted using Ext2
[14:20] <funtable> g105b, you cant monitor on-line changes on filesystem.  just scheduled routines in crontab.
[14:20] <mustmodify> I'm using virtualbox to set up an ubuntu server. I'm installing ubuntu now. It says, "Failed to partition the selected disk... this probably happened because the selected disk is too small to be automatically partitioned." How small is too small?
[14:20] <nearst> theperfectpunk, check by bcdedit /enum
[14:20] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: it is a seperate disk
[14:20] <Guest19074> hello i need help i have 2 hard drives one is almost full is there a way to merge drive to with 1 while keeping all the data on 1 intact
[14:20] <blip-> hi all, I run ubuntu 12.04.4.  I couldn't get official nvidia drive (& nvidia-prime) running on my Optimus laptop.   Anyway I updated to raring 3.8 kernel and now I want to update to xserver-xorg-lts-raring for the full Hardware_Enablement_Stack
[14:20] <funtable> g105b, sorry i didn't understand at first question .
[14:20] <cfhowlett> theperfectpunk doesn't matter - you did something strange to enable windows to see your ubuntu.
[14:21] <blip-> however that last package wants to remove ia32-libs from my system.  Which I need for a certain program.  Any idea why it wants to remove it ?
[14:21] <theperfectpunk> nearst: currently m on windows
[14:21] <g105b> funtable: ah, I wonder how sass --watch does it... I'm trying to do something similar with my own tool, you see.
[14:21] <cfhowlett> mustmodify server should fit on 6 gigs IIRC
[14:21] <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] <nearst> theperfectpunk, http://superuser.com/questions/696838/installed-updated-windows-8-uefi-after-ubuntu-restore-grub
[14:21] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: it's mounted in read only mode for now
[14:22] <g105b> hebz0rl: or if you're looking for a user tool (not developer tool) gpick should sort you out
[14:23] <hebz0rl> g105b, uh what command is the native color picker?
[14:23] <varunendra> cfhowlett, theperfectpunk the "ext2fsd" driver is able to mount ext4 partitions in read/write mode, but that is unrelated to the problem here.
[14:23] <Guest19074> hello i need help i have 2 hard drives one is almost full is there a way to merge drive to with 1 while keeping all the data on 1 intact
[14:24] <hebz0rl> g105b, uh nevermind gpick looks perfect thx!
[14:24] <Guest19074> can people see me :(
[14:24] <cfhowlett> !patience|Guest19074
[14:24] <theperfectpunk> varunendra: my ubuntu is installed on a seperate disk not partition
[14:25] <g105b> Guest19074: nope
[14:25] <Guest19074> :(
[14:25] <varunendra> Guest19074, yes we can see you. The question should be - whether we can understand you as well :)
[14:25] <theperfectpunk> so every disk has it's own bootrecord
[14:25] <theperfectpunk> cfhowlett: nearst: any more ideas guys?
[14:26] <varunendra> theperfectpunk, even if there is just a single partition on a drive, it is installed on the partition (PBR) in GPT scheme, not MBR
[14:26] <theperfectpunk> thanx nearst
[14:26] <theperfectpunk> :-)
[14:26] <theperfectpunk> nearst: checking out bcedit :-()
[14:26] <theperfectpunk> :-)
[14:26] <cfhowlett> theperfectpunk too much I don't know about to provide anything meaningful - sorry.  Your setup sounds quite ... exotic.
[14:27] <nearst> theperfectpunk, gudluck.
[14:27] <Guest19074> can you merge / onto another hard drive
[14:27] <Guest19074> i have the hard drive mounts /home/drive2
[14:30] <funtable> g105b, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-inotify-examples-to-replicate-directories/  , "inotify" a linux service who watch a directory and take actions when something changes. very good article in this site.
[14:31] <g105b> ah nice one, thanks
[14:32] <varunendra> Guest19074, you can merge (mount) the other hard drive partition(s) into your root (or some directory within the tree), but as soon as you do that, the contents of the mount-point will disappear (they will remain there, just not visible anymore) and the mount-point will start showing the contents of the mounted partition (or directory, with 'bind' option)
[14:34] <Guest19074> http://i.imgur.com/Trvybf7.png i want to merge /dev/sda3 with /dev/sdb1 with out erasing data from dev/sda3

[14:45] <lucas_> hi, why do some configuration files have numbers like 10, 20, 50, etc. in front of their names? Example: 10-ubuntu-settings, 50-gtk-whatever, 60-config-stuff. Do they have a meaning?
[14:46] <varunendra> lucas_, the numbers decide the order they will be executed in, when reading that directory.
[14:46] <k1l> lucas_: it depends on the process that is using the config. when they have the numbers it means the priority the get  acitvated.
[14:47] <varunendra> lucas_, in such directories, the files without a number are executed last

[14:49] <Symphonym> Is it worth doing a clean install when 14.04.1 releases?
[14:49] <eduardojunio> hi guys! :D
[14:49] <ikonia> Symphonym: only you can really answer that
[14:49] <Symphonym> ikonia: Fair enough
[14:50] <cfhowlett> Symphonym ^^^ this.  if you've got 14.04 installed, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:50] <cfhowlett> IMHO
[14:52] <ghostnik11> can anyone tell me how i can find my internal bluetooth adapter using terminal
[14:52] <ikonia> ghostnik11: what do you mean "find it" ?
[14:52] <ikonia> ghostnik11: what are you expecting ?
[14:53] <ghostnik11> ikonia, i want to know what the inernal bluetooth adapter is, like is it broadcam or altec or intel because my bluetooth doesn't work
[14:54] <Symphonym> Recently installed the fcitx input system, which makes the Text Entry settings pretty much irrelevant. Is it possible to integrate fcitx with the Text Entry settings or should I completely replace iBus with fcitx?
[14:54] <ikonia> ghostnik11 lspci or hwinfo lists your hardware devices
[14:54] <ikonia> ghostnik11: you should see your bluetooth adaptor
[14:54] <robairt> hey anyone know how I can get my mounted shares to let me make changes without using sudo in the terminsal? specifically I'd like the GUI to work
[14:55] <robairt> for some reason I don't have permission and I'm not sure what I missed
[14:55] <ikonia> robairt: fix the share/user permisisons
[14:56] <ghostnik11> ikonia, i see nothing that says bluetooth
[14:57] <ikonia> ghostnik11: is it a usb dongle or internal ?
[14:57] <ghostnik11> ikonia, internal

[14:57] <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?
[15:03] <claudio3582458> i have some problem during the upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to the new version
[15:03] <claudio3582458> apt-get update doesn't work
[15:03] <robairt> got it, thanks!
[15:03] <ikonia> claudio3582458: 8.10 is EOL
[15:03] <ikonia> claudio3582458: I'd suggest you do a clean install to a supported version
[15:03] <ilfabri> Hi all.. i've a quite urgent problem to solve... i disabled vga (instead of dvi) in lxde (12.04) via the graphic tool... how can i come back to vga via terminal through ssh (i'm already connected)?
[15:03] <robairt> didn't have uid or gid set
[15:04] <claudio3582458> ikonia: is it possible to update without download a new version?
[15:04] <claudio3582458> i've an old pc and found that ubuntu 14.04 doesn't work
[15:04] <ikonia> claudio3582458 from 8.10 - I doubt it
[15:04] <claudio3582458> i've some graphic glitches during the login
[15:04] <ikonia> claudio3582458: what do you want to update to then ?
[15:05] <claudio3582458> little steps and change from kubuntu to ubuntu
[15:05] <claudio3582458> but the packet manager doesn't work
[15:05] <ikonia> claudio3582458: I'd suggest this is a bad approach
[15:05] <ikonia> claudio3582458: I'd suggest getting a supported version with a light weight desktop such as lxde supplied by lubuntu
[15:05] <claudio3582458> because the servers are too old i think. i tried updating the sources.list to the 12.04 but i got an error
[15:05] <ikonia> claudio3582458 do not change the sources.list
[15:08] <Guest82406> is there a command that allows me to work as  admin ?
[15:08] <Guest82406> when I am in the graphics enviroment
[15:08] <ikonia> Guest82406: your user is admin
[15:09] <cfhowlett> claudio3582458 end of life.  bad on desktop - criminally negligent on a server.
[15:09] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | claudio3582458
[15:10] <ikonia> cfhowlett: I wouldn't recommending trying to upgrade from 8.10
[15:10] <cfhowlett> ikonia oh SNAP!  you're right.  I missed that little detail.
[15:10] <cfhowlett> claudio3582458 old pc?  try lubuntu or xubuntu
[15:13] <_Rocky_> I have a small glitch with the zsh prompt. Its a wierd glitch that I am unable to find the answer to in google. Is this the right channel to ask or is there a more apt channel?
[15:15] <n3vit> Quick question: any reason why I would get the error: Cannot add PPA: ...... Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
[15:16] <n3vit> A reboot sorted it, but I thought turning it off and on again was a windows kinda thing...
[15:17] <n3vit> Had tried reinstalling certs, no dice. However adding the PPA through software & updates, then downloading the cert from the server manually worked too. It wasn't a practical workaround though.
[15:19] <WXZ> I get this error when trying to open synaptic http://pastebin.com/nauTpnmy
[15:19] <WXZ> tried replacing status with status-old but it didn't help
[15:31] <nbubuntu> varunendra : I guess I know the reason I can't tar it , some file are rename with spacebar at the name like "Document   " rather than "Document"
[15:31] <grendal> i have windows installed on a second drive..i want to plug that into my usb sata adapter block and then point grub to that ...anyone familar with doing that?
[15:32] <varunendra> nbubuntu, enclose the names within double-quotes like I mentioned. You can also use wildcards like "Docu*", but that may cause potential problems in case there are matching names.
[15:33] <theperfectpunk> can anybody tell me what does apt-get install linux install?
[15:33] <theperfectpunk> or what is the linux package in ubuntu repo
[15:33] <theperfectpunk> is it the linux kernel image( latest )?
[15:33] <theperfectpunk> for the bootloader
[15:34] <theperfectpunk> boot-repair instruced me to copy a command which involves apt-get install linux
[15:35] <theperfectpunk> the package linux is not in the linux repo
[15:35] <theperfectpunk> however it was in 10.0
[15:35] <theperfectpunk> can anybody confirm if i am right or not?
[15:35] <nbubuntu> varunendra : nope , double quota doesn't work , a must to have double quota on spacing "Document " because I rename it with a spacing
[15:36] <varunendra> !info linux | theperfectpunk
[15:36] <theperfectpunk> varunendra: boot-repair said to type this command in terminal
[15:36] <theperfectpunk> "sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb2" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux"
[15:37] <theperfectpunk> varunendra "sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb2" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux"
[15:37] <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?
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <theperfectpunk> let's see if it works
[15:40] <grobe0ba> or indeed, linux-image-generic, which should install 3.13.0-32
[15:41] <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

[15:46] <dusf> how do i remove amazon search results etc from ubuntu search?
[15:46] <k1l> dusf: in the privacy settings in system settings
[15:46] <varunendra> nbubuntu, not sure about that.
[15:47] <dusf> k1l: thanks
[15:48] <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.
[15:49] <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
[15:50] <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.
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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] <vite> So I can upgrade to 14.04 or do I still have to use 13.10?
[15:52] <grobe0ba> dusf, with that setup, i wouldn't even make seperate partitions
[15:52] <grobe0ba> i'd just make one large ext4 partition, and the large one for windows
[15:52] <grobe0ba> don't bother breaking it up

[16:07] <metaspike> or remove with command line with "sudo apt-get purge google-earth" or such
[16:07] <pumice> thanks. I will try
[16:07] <metaspike> WXZ1, tried launching with "fusion-icon" ?
[16:07] <metaspike> im not even sure if that's still a thing
[16:08] <WXZ1> metaspike: no, and I don't know what that is
[16:08] <WXZ1> if I do compiz --replace in the terminal, the effects start working again
[16:08] <Slart> MagicSpud: perhaps this helps? http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/dae
[16:08] <WXZ1> but the redrawing of windows is very bad
[16:08] <pumice> terminal says unable to locate google-earth
[16:09] <Slart> MagicSpud: not sure if any of these support previews in nautilus though
[16:09] <metaspike> google-earth-stable?
[16:09] <pumice> is it possible that I may have a 64 bit, and installed 32 bit
[16:11] <metaspike> to find it from installed programs
[16:11] <metaspike> dpkg –get-selections | grep google
[16:11] <MagicSpud> Slart yes of course it helps... you can see there apple preview is among the programs which can open dae files on mac...the question would how do I get glc player perform as the preview program for dae files on ubuntu?¿
[16:11] <pumice> I see that there are crash reports in regards to linux
[16:12] <Allons-y--> Next time I will install grub in a different partition
[16:12] <metaspike> WXZ1, it sounds so bad like, maybe your video driver isn't even installed properly?
[16:12] <WXZ1> metaspike: I'll try reinstalling it
[16:13] <data> hey, I am trying to install nova-common. But nova exists as a user in our ldap already. is there a way to change the name for the service?
[16:13] <metaspike> maybe... play a game or glx_info, glxgears... if that's bad too you know its broke
[16:14] <pumice> I will try re-installing it
[16:14] <Slart> MagicSpud: I'm not really sure. It seems to me that nautilus does less and less for each update.. it might not be possible to get a quick preview-thing running on ubuntu
[16:14] <MagicSpud> oh
[16:14] <MagicSpud> a pity
[16:14] <MagicSpud> I like ubuntu
[16:15] <grobe0ba> data, services shouldn't be in LDAP....
[16:15] <JakePee> Out of curiosity
[16:15] <grobe0ba> they should be in /etc/passwd, since they're local
[16:15] <JakePee> Does 'sudo su -' fully inherit root root environ/priveleges on ubuntu server 14.04
[16:16] <metaspike> yes
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <Slart> !sudo
[16:18] <nearst> back
[16:19] <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.
[16:20] <metaspike> "elevate this users privillages so I can have access to the super user account with its enviroment variables"  sudo su -
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> metaspike: sudo su -    will make you root, there is no "super user"
[16:22] <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?
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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?
[16:25] <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?
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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*
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <bserver> hi
[16:30] <metaspike> flush dns and arp caches?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> LiENUS: possibly, have you tried wireshark on the client system?
[16:30] <bserver> hello
[16:31] <metaspike> greetings earthling
[16:31] <bserver> waving
[16:31] <LiENUS> metaspike, i'm not using dns for this connection, direct ip connection and i dont see an entry in arp for the system but i'll try flushing
[16:31] <MoonSlime> hi anyone has a good recommendation for an IP surveilance camera ubuntu server management app? record live motion sensor event memory log.
[16:32] <LiENUS> as soon as i figure out how to flush arp...
[16:32] <metaspike> could be a few things  i guess, dns masquerade even
[16:32] <metaspike> im rusty as a spoon thogh
[16:32] <LiENUS> metaspike, if i'm not using dns at all how would dns be an issue?
[16:33] <metaspike> not you, the router
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <LiENUS> naturally what i'm trying to connect to isnt in there because arp doesnt work like that
[16:39] <basketball> OerHeks, you on
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <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?
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <metaspike> i guess the big question is, what are you using as a routing protocol, rip or ospf
[16:43] <LiENUS> bgp
[16:44] <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
[16:48] <basketball>  how to i make a 2 way sync between 2 folders
[16:49] <metaspike> LiENUS, im guessing you left enough space for your laptop to connect within the subnet mask
[16:49] <LiENUS> metaspike, on what?
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <OerHeks> basketball, maybe you need to enable universe in your mint
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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?
[17:00] <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
[17:02] <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.
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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.
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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.
[17:07] <blopxop> Erm, any idea how to run bash command ~/.profile with root privilege without giving the user full right to said command?
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <ghostnik11> can anyone help me find my bluetooth adapter here is my pastebin from terminal the internal bluetooth adapter is not shown: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7831317/
[17:12] <ghostnik11> here is my lsusb output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7831324/
[17:13] <ghostnik11> is there any other commands i can run to see and identify my bluetooth adapter because lspci doesn't show it
[17:15] <basketball> iptable,  what kind of synchronization is it
[17:16] <LiENUS> this is interesting dhclient -r && dhclient wlan0 seems to have solved it.... so where is it caching and what?
[17:16] <LiENUS> bug in suspend maybe? i suspended at home, went into work...
[17:16] <Seregas> hi, for what i can use ubuntu cloud ?
[17:17] <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?
[17:18] <metaspike> dhclient managed dhcp names
[17:19] <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,
[17:20] <LiENUS> metaspike, it forced a refresh of the connection information...
[17:20] <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] <OssumPawesome> im going to try using the router option to do a static ip address and see if everything breaks
[17:21] <sergio79ct> ciao a tutti
[17:28] <metaspike> LiENUS, have a look under /etc/dhcp/...  dhclient uses configs there, whats your ip now?
[17:28] <metaspike> i guess it doesnt matter gg
[17:28] <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?
[17:28] <LiENUS> metaspike, ip stayed the same it just forced the server to push configuration information elsewhere
[17:29] <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] <LiENUS> and i fully expect it to come back tomorrow when i show up at work again :/
[17:29] <LiENUS> its always been an "sometimes" problem
[17:30] <metaspike> steff3, ctrl+alt+f2  for a spare terminal, then you can start killing things
[17:30] <metaspike> f2,f3,etc
[17:32] <Joseph___> team
[17:32] <metaspike> htop is good for freeing memory
[17:33] <Joseph___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7831414/
[17:33] <Joseph___> Kindly help
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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] <steff3> metaspike: do you mean for solving the problem now or for next time when my system has hang up?
[17:34] <metaspike> next time
[17:35] <steff3> any idea how to solve the problem now?
[17:35] <steff3> metaspike: I need some data from there!
[17:36] <metaspike> ok, steff3 do it now

[17:40] <kontoo> anyone can help?
[17:42] <metaspike> steff3, if you go "ctrl+alt+f3"    at your frozen screen, there's a slight chance you will be able to login, and kill processes with a program called "htop". otherwise, i suggest rebooting into "recovery mode" to preform some mainenence, lookup how to disable startup services and remove unwanted software. basics...

[17:42] <OssumPawesome> how do i get jquery with command line?
[17:45] <calzifer> hi, is there a nm-applet alternative?

[17:50] <metaspike> like coding? vim, emacs...
[17:51] <Allons-y--_> hi
[17:51] <OssumPawesome> i figured it out - its sudo apt-get install libjs-jquery
[17:51] <Allons-y--_> I'm not sure if this is the right channel but my BIOS doesn't detect any DVDs nor USBs. How can I repair it?
[17:51] <super> why the heck everytime I plug in my sata hard drive I always have to type "su -c 'echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan" ?

[17:56] <Rohan_m> eeee: add a "/" where ?
[17:56] <metaspike> i would have just used ~ lol, is that wrong?
[17:56] <metaspike> i guess so
[17:58] <metaspike> ubuntu  > system / administration > additional drivers  or whatever its called
[17:58] <eeee> Rohan_m: add a "/" after you get the env variable home
[17:59] <Rohan_m> eeee: ok let me try
[17:59] <eeee> Rohan_m: strcat(home,getenv("HOME")); strcat(home,"/myfile.txt");
[18:01] <Rohan_m> eeee: there some rubbish behind the /home i get this output "�����/home/ar/myfile.txt"
[18:01] <metaspike> acovrig, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/drivers or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[18:01] <MeanderingCode> how can i recover from a fatal dpkg error "reading files list for package 'klipper': Bad address"?
[18:03] <acovrig> metaspike, thanks, but this is an AMD card, not Nvidia, so the 2nd link is not correct; I know about the first link, but am wondering if there is a 'better' way...
[18:03] <beanee> do any of you know what this is *** BUG ***
[18:03] <beanee> In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
[18:03] <beanee> Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug
[18:04] <Guest82406> I tried to upgrade from 13.10 and my ubuntu was destroyed. Now I work through a usb flash to get access to my files but I have no permission to all of them ( of course I remember my pass ) . how can get access to all my files ?
[18:04] <metaspike> if it "just works", i would be happy eh, especially with AMD - honestly though, ive been quite happy with the opensource "gallium" drives though, i dont even see the point in getting the properitory ones
[18:04] <metaspike> for me anyway
[18:06] <Rohan_m> eeee: Solved Thnaks a lot fellla
[18:07] <beanee> please pm me
[18:07] <metaspike> beanee, when does that happen?? :p
[18:07] <beanee> idk you know xD
[18:08] <beanee> *** BUG ***
[18:08] <beanee> In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
[18:08] <beanee> Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug
[18:09] <metaspike> Guest82406, you might have better luck booting with "recovery mode" and with a xserver with root, just so you can copy stuff without worry about permissions
[18:11] <Guest82406> metaspike xserver ? I tried a recovery mode but it didnt work , I am not sure I uses the right choices ( after choosing recovery mode I get a sreen that asks me stuff but i cant read it cause its in strange non letter symbols  )
[18:11] <metaspike> beanee, it means nothing without context
[18:11] <beanee> what does that means
[18:12] <metaspike> like... when does it give you this message, what are you doing?
[18:12] <beanee> oh
[18:12] <beanee> when i do "gnome-panel"
[18:12] <disappearedng> Hey can anyone explain why when my USER_LIB = Base64 disappears when I include other libs to my makefile? https://gist.github.com/vicngtor/b6d05e02cb31cf8e524a
[18:13] <beanee> in the terminal
[18:14] <metaspike> ok Guest82406, open a terminal alt+ctrl+t . type "sudo nautilus"  , you should be able to copy anything, to anywhere with that, be careful though
[18:14] <eeee> metaspike: isn't gksu nautilus better?
[18:15] <metaspike> yeah true that
[18:15] <beanee> can you help me metastrike?
[18:15] <beanee> can you help me metaspike?
[18:15] <metaspike> ummm.. :)
[18:16] <metaspike> dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel? honestly I have no clue
[18:16] <metaspike> your error is the dodgiest ive heard all day :)
[18:16] <beanee> still  bugs :(
[18:16] <beanee> but thanks :)
[18:17] <Guest82406> metaspike we are talking about working through the usb flash right?
[18:18] <nated> hi, I'm using uupdate to update the libsane package and rebuild it, it fails after issuing "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc" in the updated source dir with a error about not finding the .dsc file for the new package
[18:18] <metaspike> that as well... just right click copy + paste to where its going right?...
[18:19] <nated> is there an inbetween step between uupdate and dpkg-buildpackage I'm missing?
[18:19] <metaspike> beanee, apt-get upgrade, pray someone has fixed it
[18:19] <beanee> cool
[18:19] <beanee> im praying
[18:20] <metaspike> apt-get dist-upgrade... i cant remember
[18:20] <metaspike> one of them
[18:20] <metaspike> first one is... safer
[18:20] <beanee> cool im trying
[18:20] <beanee> thanks
[18:21] <beanee> not fixed
[18:21] <beanee> :(
[18:21] <beanee> trying the other one, non safe
[18:21] <MacDuffMan> hey JO
[18:22] <beanee> nope
[18:22] <MacDuffMan> how is the thing called on an mac laptop when you press the command key?
[18:22] <metaspike> you can always remove gnome altogether, ha
[18:22] <metaspike> xfce4, kde etc
[18:22] <beanee> lol
[18:23] <_Rocky_> MacDuffMan: What thinh?
[18:23] <_Rocky_> *thing
[18:23] <MacDuffMan> When you press the command key on a mac pc
[18:23] <MacDuffMan> a windows appear from a birds view
[18:23] <beanee> im just reinstalling the whole system
[18:24] <Guest82406> well metaspike it opened a window in home from which I couldn't go to my hard-drive . I went to it but again no access. in terminal: " Failed to register client:" or "Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing."
[18:24] <MacDuffMan> you have this in fedora when you press the window key
[18:24] <beanee> i have used more 5 hours on this today
[18:24] <metaspike> hold on beanee ...
[18:24] <beanee> ok
[18:24] <_Rocky_> MacDuffMan: Are you talking about the launchpad?
[18:25] <_Rocky_> MacDuffMan: Where you see all the applications?
[18:25] <OerHeks> MacDuffMan, superkey?
[18:25] <MacDuffMan> yes but in fedora you see all windows at the same time from a birds view
[18:25] <Hanumaan>  with nmap -sP option unable to see the system which is up what could be the reason?
[18:25] <metaspike> beanee, sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-shell  try that i guess
[18:25] <metaspike> if that fails... yeah :p
[18:26] <metaspike> wait that's old news
[18:26] <metaspike> no idea just.. nuke it
[18:26] <metaspike> :(
[18:27] <_Rocky_> WolfInSheepskin: Oh yea I think its called the "Mission Control"
[18:27] <WolfInSheepskin> lol?
[18:27] <eeee> lol :D
[18:27] <eeee> Macpollo ?
[18:27] <metaspike> Guest82406. open a terminal
[18:27] <_Rocky_> WolfInSheepskin: Really. Thats what its called
[18:27] <brokenaudio> How do I increase my audio latency? right now it's 0 and flat out ins't working properly
[18:28] <WolfInSheepskin> ah I see
[18:28] <WolfInSheepskin> ok thx
[18:28] <metaspike> Guest82406 type lsblk
[18:28] <_Rocky_> and it opens when you press the F3 key
[18:28] <brokenaudio> lshw -c multimedia gives driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0  that should be 10
[18:28] <WolfInSheepskin> ahh EXPOSE ??
[18:28] <metaspike> or rather sudo su -  , if you need root access
[18:29] <beanee> metaspike you seam like a nice guy, how can i find you when you got timeoff/abreak ?
[18:29] <metaspike> i'll pm you eh
[18:29] <_Rocky_> beanee: You don't find metaspike. He finds you. ;
[18:30] <beanee> cool, hi Rocky
[18:30] <_Rocky_> Hello
[18:30] <hyper_t> hello :)
[18:31] <Guest82406> metaspike ok done that
[18:32] <metaspike> cool,   so one of those  /dev/somethings   is your drive.
[18:33] <Guest82406> metaspike in mydrive there is also a windows partition :P
[18:33] <Guest82406> but ok sure
[18:34] <metaspike> cool, under MOUNTPOINT  is where they are mounted, where you can find them under /
[18:35] <Guest82406> metaspike ok I thing I know which I want
[18:37] <metaspike> so your either cd to it 'cd /mountpoint/sos/' and 'cp -r ./sosfiles /mountpoint2/'    to get it across or use nautilus.
[18:39] <Guest82406> metaspike cd is like chaing partitions? it sounds scary :P how could I use nautilus ?
[18:42] <metaspike> whats the mountpoints say
[18:42] <metaspike> i'll make this dead simple for you
[18:43] <Guest82406> ├─sda5   8:5    0 180.6G  0 part /media/ubuntu/79a96d13-d5ad-4bf7-8dfa-0786b5b62
[18:43] <Guest82406> this is the one I nees access
[18:43] <Guest82406> d*
[18:44] <NHO> Hi.
[18:45] <metaspike> nautilus /media/ubuntu/79a96d13-d5ad-4bf7-8dfa-0786b5b62
[18:45] <metaspike> put that into the terminal Guest82406
[18:45] <brokenaudio> how do i increase the latency and buffer size for sound? it's skipping right now because it's too low
[18:46] <NHO> I want to change Fedora install to Ubuntu. There is nice LVM thing with encrypted partition that I do not want to maul too much
[18:46] <NHO> Encryption was made by cryptsetup, there is persistent unencrypted partition that should not be touched in reinstall.
[18:46] <Guest82406> metaspike Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again.
[18:47] <NHO> Could anyone suggest what should I do to preserve keys to my encrypted partition?
[18:49] <metaspike> cd /media/ubuntu/79a96d13-d5ad-4bf7-8dfa-0786b5b62<hit tab key to autocomplete> press ENTER then ' nautilus . '       or i give up, maybe if you give me both mountpoints i can write a basic script
[18:49] <metaspike> a oneliner for you...
[18:50] <Guest82406> metaspike ok ty
[18:51] <Guest82406> metaspike I have two questions , what the other point you need , is the one the flash uses? . what does cd really does ?
[18:52] <metaspike> brokenaudio, you will need to define this in asoundrc
[18:53] <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.
[18:54] <brokenaudio> rt kernel is slower in terms of overall performance so i'll try that first
[18:55] <metaspike> Guest82406, i would need  entire output of lsblk again, chuck it onto pastebin.
[18:55] <metaspike> the rest u should really discover for yourself?
[18:58] <Guest82406> metaspike http://pastebin.com/F3jEB5Lu
[18:59] <Guest82406> metaspike ok I thing I got what cd does , its not so scary after all sry :P
[19:01] <trony> !list
[19:03] <metaspike> hmmm

[19:18] <Guest47119> I'm back ... still with an incomplete installation problem that I can't seem to fix myself.  Anyone wanna help me get rid of a partial installation of Wine?
[19:20] <Guest47119> Ben64: You see, I opened the question to the entire room ... ;)
[19:24] <Lunario> Could somebody help me with my trying to boot my newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 via UEFI? GRUB does not start at all anymore, though it is installed.
[19:25] <Lunario> Here's what I explicated in the forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2235393
[19:25] <etronik> once I install the openjdk... how do I setup the JAVA_HOME variable ? ie. where do I point it to ?
[19:27] <acovrig> I’m stuck in low graphics mode, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7831982/ is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log (I noticed the Kernel Module version does *not* match driver line) what can I do to fix it?
[19:27] <metaspike> arrgh they just keep coming arrgh
[19:27] <Rohan_m> Hey Does Any Body Know Format Specifier for "long unsigned int" in C language ?
[19:28] <acovrig> I have a Radeon HD 6970 (which seemed do (sorta) work w/out any ATI drivers) and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[19:29] <Guest47119> Anything on $HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/ .... is something I can delete without a worry of messing up the system files?

[19:38] <metaspike> say goodby to wine though
[19:38] <malakas> my no-alert sound doesnt work :(
[19:38] <Lunario> Could somebody help me with my trying to boot my newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 via UEFI? GRUB does not start at all anymore, though it is installed.
[19:38] <Lunario> Here's what I explicated in the forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2235393
[19:39] <metaspike> at least, playonlinux's local understanding of it
[19:39] <metaspike> relevant to your user account, because it's under home
[19:40] <malakas> i hate ubuntu
[19:40] <malakas> i hate you all
[19:40] <Guest47119> metaspike: Go for what?  I've been trying to fix it with so many commands, but I can't remove it or to reinstall it
[19:41] <metaspike> go for gold
[19:41] <eeee> lol
[19:41] <eeee> Lunario: did you try entering the boot options after the pc starts?
[19:42] <Guest47119> metaspike: I'm lost.  Tried "dpkg --configure -a
[19:42] <Ben64> Guest47119: the problem is you never respond in a timely fashion, then you leave
[19:42] <metaspike> anything under $HOME is not a system dependency, it might have something open in there thats all but bleh
[19:42] <eeee> Lunario: on some pc's you can press a button and enter the boot options, it's probably a hard-coded bios issue
[19:43] <Guest47119> metaspike: Tried to remove it, to do a complete removal and to reinstall it -...
[19:43] <metaspike> cd to that directory, you absolutely must remove
[19:43] <Guest47119> Ben64: I'm sorry.  I don't do it on purpose
[19:43] <metaspike> or open a terminal there, make sure its in the right path
[19:44] <Lunario> eeee: I already checked the Bios/Uefi and looked at the Boot Options - first it showed ubuntu next to WindowsBootLoader, now it only shows WindowsBootLoader... as if GRUB had been deleted by Windows
[19:44] <metaspike> sudo rm -r .
[19:44] <Guest47119> metaspike: It's not good.
[19:44] <metaspike> does that work?
[19:44] <Ben64> be very careful with that command
[19:44] <metaspike> yes
[19:45] <Ben64> one typo or being in the wrong directory and bam!
[19:45] <metaspike> its almost the most dangerous command ever
[19:45] <Guest47119> Ben64: My wife keeps criticizing me for the time I spend on the computer
[19:46] <Squall5668> dpkg-reconfigure wife
[19:46] <metaspike> recursive removal, snip the branch from the tree, or fell the whole thing..
[19:46] <eeee> Lunario: do you have a live usb/cd?
[19:46] <Guest47119> metaspike: But I can do that by being specific about the base directory?
[19:46] <etronik> what's the best way to add to the PATH in latest 14.04 ? I see lots of different ways...
[19:46] <Lunario> yes
[19:46] <Guest47119> Squall5668: Well, she's not perfect, but she is good in other ways
[19:47] <eeee> Lunario: try this sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[19:47] <Rohan_m> any ssh expert here ?
[19:47] <Guest47119> BRB
[19:47] <eeee> Lunario: then this sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[19:47] <Lunario> ok, will try
[19:48] <modest_> What are you looking to do Rohan_m? Lets see what I know.
[19:48] <metaspike> Guest47119 anything you specify after ' rm -r  '   will be destroyed
[19:48] <metaspike> rm -r poverty&war
[19:48] <patrick_> heh
[19:49] <patrick_> rm -r hiphop
[19:49] <patrick_> rm -r rap
[19:49] <Guest47119> metaspike: Ok, but what do I do about /usr/share ... ?
[19:49] <lickalott> hey guys.... i'm getting a message on update manager that says there is "new hardware support available"  but when i try to install it I get an error.
[19:49] <Lunario> eeee: do I have to carry out those two commands on the already installed ubuntu partition, or where?
[19:50] <lickalott> i'm guessing this has something to do with the 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade (which hasn't been done on this computer yet).
[19:50] <compdoc> tell your wife, if it werent for the computer, youd be spending more with her. that should shut her up
[19:50] <Rohan_m> modest_: Hey suppose i make a ssh connection from my PC to Remote PC so i create a Public Key and Private Key and i have to Upload public Key to Remote server's .ssh directory ? so that key can have any name like client1.pub or it has to be authorized_keys
[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
[19:51] <eeee> i mean /boot partition
[19:51] <Ben64> Guest47119: pastebin "dpkg -l | grep -i wine" "dpkg -l | grep -i playon" "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and "aptitude why-not wine"
[19:51] <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] <lickalott> libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty: Depends: libglapi-mesa-lts-trusty (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1~precise1) but 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1~precise1 is to be installed
[19:51] <lickalott>                             Depends: libx11-6 (>= 2:1.4.99.1) but 2:1.4.99.1-0ubuntu2.2 is to be installed
[19:51] <lickalott>                             Depends: libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) but 1:1.1.3-2build1 is to be installed

[19:51] <lickalott> those are the details of the error message
[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?
[19:52] <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)
[19:53] <OerHeks> lickalott, undo those trusty repos
[19:53] <lickalott> haven't accomplished any upgrades yet.
[19:53] <Ben64> OerHeks: those are not trusty repos
[19:53] <Lunario> how do I do that?
[19:54] <Ben64> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[19:56] <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] <Guest47119> Ben64: Just before I started this set of commands, I did a rm -r command in .PlayOnLinux
[19:56] <Lunario> Ok, will try that in two mins. Thank you :)
[19:57] <lickalott> Ben64, am i reading that correctly?  my HWE will be supported throughout the life of 12.04 and there is nothing I need to do?
[19:58] <eeee> you're welcome
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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.
[20:01] <rafaht> Hi! Someone can help me with my problem? I have a DHCP server and it's sets the IP for the users in my network. But I use the SARG reports and the reports are write IP by IP. I can't know who is who with the IP only, to analyze better the data. Have a tool when I can see who is the computer with that IP? I have a MAC address list when I know who is who with the MAC listed. And yes, I can fix the IPs for the only MAC, but at this time I
[20:01] <rafaht> I are using Ubuntu Server :)
[20:02] <Guest47119> Ben64: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7832174/ ... I'm going to walk the dog for maybe 5 minutes, ok?
[20:03] <Guest47119> Ben64: I'm not going away, but in 5 minutes, I'll be back, promised ....
[20:03] <Guest47119> Ben64: Besides, I sent a lot of stuff to read ...
[20:04] <eeee_> Lunario: still here? i got d/c
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <Lunario> yes, currently doing what you told me to do :)
[20:06] <Lunario> will report in some mins if it worked out
[20:06] <rafaht> metaspike: can u explain more please? I don't understand.
[20:06] <walterbit> hi all
[20:06] <walterbit> hi TJ-
[20:06] <rafaht> metaspike: I have the DHCP server associated with a AD server...
[20:07] <TJ-> walterbit: Hi
[20:08] <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] <eeee_> there should be a grubx64.efi, shimx64.efi
[20:09] <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> so... host 192.168.1.78   etc... and you get all  their host names, which are registered with dns
[20:10] <eeee_> try to mount the main filesystem in /mnt
[20:10] <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] <Lunario> You mean the ext4 system on which ubuntu is installed?
[20:11] <eeee_> Lunario: run sudo umount /dev/sd(whatever number you got for /boot).
[20:11] <walterbit> TJ-: did you resolve the walktest thing?
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <Lunario> umount /dev/sda7 gives me: /dev/sda7 not mounted
[20:12] <Lunario> ok
[20:13] <Lunario> You mean mount to /mnt/efi/boot? because /mnt/boot/efi doesnt exist
[20:14] <eeee_> try /mnt/boot
[20:14] <Lunario> k
[20:14] <Lunario> says mount point /mnt/boot does not exist
[20:14] <Guest47119> Ben64: I'm back.  Did you learn anything from my pastebin?
[20:15] <eeee_> Lunario: run ls /mnt
[20:15] <rolfy> greets
[20:15] <Lunario> that gives me: EFI (and some FSCK00000.REC files up to FSCK00004.REC)
[20:17] <rafaht> aff
[20:17] <eeee_> Lunario: it should contain your ubuntu installation
[20:17] <rafaht> metaspike is leave :/
[20:17] <rafaht> I think the DNS from computers are defined by AD server
[20:17] <rafaht> :S
[20:17] <rafaht> but I don't know
[20:17] <Lunario> EFI does contain a folder called "ubuntu"
[20:18] <TJ-> walterbit: The source is out-of-date... since OpenGL 3.2 it cannot call "cgGetString(GL_EXTENSION)", but must call "cgGetStringi(GET_EXTENSION)", but it doesn't support newer OpenGL versions
[20:18] <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?
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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] <Guest47119> Anyone wanna tell me what this means .... -rw-rw-r-- 1 steve steve 489 Jul 20 00:53 wine
[20:20] <eeee_> ok that's your /boot, it's 300M
[20:20] <Slart> noiano: click on the "Activites" thing on the left.. running apps will have a different shortcut.. or just use alt+tab
[20:20] <eeee_> type umount /dev/sda2
[20:21] <noiano> Slart: I know the alt-tab thing but minimized app do not appear there
[20:21] <Lunario> says "device is busy"
[20:21] <Slart> noiano: hmm.. they do on my system... don't think I've installed anything special for that.. sure the app is still running?
[20:22] <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?
[20:23] <noiano> Slart: no, I get nothing
[20:23] <Lunario> yes there is
[20:25] <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] <Guest47119> Ben64: Did you see my pastebin?
[20:25] <noiano> Slart: found them
[20:26] <noiano> Slart: wth I need to do this thing every time?!?!?!
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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] <eeee_> Lunario: try to restart the live cd
[20:27] <eeee_> im going to restart too
[20:27] <Lunario> ok
[20:28] <mithran>  init: plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning too fast, stopped
[20:28] <noiano> Slart: I get that but the winKey+m to get to the tray is super annoying
[20:29] <Slart> noiano: not to sound old and grumpy but that seems to follow the gnome design documents.. I'm starting to think they are aiming for "super annoying" =/
[20:29] <Guest47119> Here's my problem ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7832174/
[20:29] <noiano> Slart: well that's just stupid :)
[20:30] <noiano> Slart: older gnome version worked as you would expect
[20:31] <Slart> noiano: indeed.. you can look at some of the extensions that are available as well.. there are at least a couple of taskbar addons
[20:31] <mithran> Guest47119:  the answer is with ur prolem there  read the last line
[20:31] <kasper> Hello, I'm looking for some help with remote access to ubuntu

[20:32] <kasper> I'm trying to access ubuntu from my windows machine using tightvnc viewer but I always get the error that the security types are not supported
[20:32] <mithran> Guest47119:  hmmmmm let me check it
[20:33] <Guest47119> mithran: I'm trying it again
[20:33] <eeee> Lunario: run sudo parted -l , and get the ext4 partition's number
[20:33] <eeee> make sure it's the main installation one
[20:33] <kasper> msx any idea?

[20:35] <mithran> Guest47119: please purge the wine
[20:35] <Lunario> done
[20:35] <eeee> type ls /mnt/boot
[20:35] <eeee> what's in there?
[20:35] <Guest47119> mithran: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7832324/  (I put the answer to aptitude at the beginning of this pastebin
[20:35] <Lunario> various files and two folders (efi and grub)
[20:35] <eeee> ok
[20:35] <Guest47119> mithran: You have a precise command?
[20:36] <eeee> type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot/efi
[20:36] <kasper> anyone good with remote connections?
[20:36] <msx> kasper: sorry, i was attending some customers. I never accessed via VNC, you must likely need to enable the VNC server in ubuntu first
[20:36] <mithran> please help me to improve boot speed  init: plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning too fast, stopped
[20:36] <kasper> I did that msx
[20:36] <Lunario> done
[20:36] <lisak> hey, I have to choose between nvidia geforce and quadro, which one should I go with for a laptop workstation
[20:36] <eeee> Lunario: type ls /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
[20:36] <msx> kasper: on the other hand i wouldn't recommend you running VNC, the protocl sucks, I would try x2Go instead!
[20:37] <kasper> I need to access from a windows pc
[20:37] <mithran> Guest47119: purge wine
[20:37] <Guest47119> mithran: How do I purge wine?  I think someone had given me a command to purge wine - unsuccessful
[20:37] <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] <eeee> Lunario: that's weird, let me see online if i can find something
[20:37] <kasper> Can I use it on smarthphones as well? Android, iOS...
[20:38] <lisak> I used to heard that the main thing is to avoid quadro cards on linux, is it correct ?
[20:38] <Lunario> alright, I'll be waiting here :) thanks for your help so far already
[20:38] <eeee> you're welcome
[20:38] <mithran> Guest47119: sudo apt-get -f insta

[20:39] <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] <mithran> Guest47119: did u tried it?
[20:39] <Guest47119> mithran: Same wine installation problem - didn't work
[20:39] <mithran> ok
[20:40] <mithran> sudo apt-get purge wine
[20:40] <mithran> Guest47119: sudo apt-get purge wine

[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <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?
[20:46] <msx> *connections
[20:46] <Guest47119> mithran: Done, done, and redone.
[20:46] <eeee> yeah, you can chroot the installation
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <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] <Guest47119> mithran: From software center?  Just tried - no success. Tried several times through Synaptic to a removal, a complete removal, and a reinstallation - never worked
[20:49] <Guest47119> Bashing-om: I will look ... I had already started a while ago
[20:49] <mithran> Guest47119: sudo nautilus

[20:54] <eeee> do you have internet connection ?

[20:54] <Lunario> oh, nope
[20:54] <YamakasY> which repo's do I need to add for netinstall on my local mirror ?
[20:54] <Lunario> but I can connect to my wlan
[20:54] <Guest47119> mithran: In a terminal? (dpkg.cfg.d)
[20:54] <eeee> ok cool, maybe if you install grub from the repo it'll install everything
[20:54] <Guest47119> Bashing-om: I have so many suggestions, that I'm doing what I can as fast as I can
[20:55] <Lunario> ok, so apt-get install grub?
[20:55] <kasper> how do I configure x2go?
[20:55] <mithran> Guest47119: go through the nautilus window
[20:55] <infinity_> where can i find this package ? http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/php5-cli/download
[20:55] <infinity_> its listed as available but gone from everywhere i can see.
[20:56] <Bashing-om> Guest47119: Understnadable .. I am just now arriving to the party .. what is your end goal here in respect to Wine ?
[20:57] <eeee> Lunario: i guess sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64
[20:58] <giugza66> help me please , what is the command "ip route" equal in windows prompt ????
[20:58] <Guest47119> Bashing-om: Wine and / or Wine1.6 or both are PARTIALLY installed.  Broken dependencies. I can not remove or install anything because of the wine or wine1.6 problem
[20:58] <nintendork> (Lubuntu) How do I write files to a network attached Seagate Central drive? I can access it from "Go" > "Network Drives", but when I try to create a file on it, nothing happens.
[20:58] <Lunario> yeah, just tried apt-get install grub and it says that it needs t remove grub-efi-amd64 and some others for that, which would be wrong I guess. So I'll try yours
[20:58] <kasper> msx: how do I configure x2GO?
[20:58] <mithran> Guest47119: did u find it
[20:58] <Guest47119> Bashing-om: If wine can be totally and correctly installed, I'm not against that.  But ...
[20:58] <Lunario> "grub-efi-amd64 is already the newest version"
[20:59] <Guest47119> mithran: Nautilus is still loading ... I see nothing really
[20:59] <eeee> try apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64
[20:59] <Bashing-om> Guest47119: Yeah, I see that .. but .. are you wanting to (re-)install Wine1.6 to be functional .. or completely remove it from the system ( and no NetFlix then either ) .
[21:00] <mithran> Guest47119: what programes are running now i your system now
[21:00] <giugza66> ??
[21:00] <msx> kasper: on the client side you need to create anew account
[21:00] <Lunario> same error as before (Input/Output error)
[21:00] <msx> kasper: i would recommend you run it vanilla
[21:01] <Guest47119> mithran: I have 4 terminals ... find wine x2, nautilus that is trying to open, and kvirc
[21:01] <mithran> Guest47119: close all othe programes except nautilus
[21:01] <nintendork> Never mind. I can do it from terminal when I right click the folder and click "Open in Terminal". Strange that the file manager can't do that.
[21:01] <msx> kasper: oh, silly me, i almost forgot, check you have running the ssh server on your ubuntu box
[21:01] <msx> kasper: sudo apt install openssh-server
[21:01] <kasper> msx: ok
[21:02] <kasper> ok and then what?
[21:02] <eeee> Lunario: i'm searching my pc for alternate locations (if any)

[21:02] <Lunario> alright
[21:02] <msx> kasper: fill in the ip of your ubuntu, the user name, etc.
[21:02] <kasper> msx: it asks me for a login and ssh port, where do i get this info?
[21:02] <mithran> Guest47119:  Brother am leaving now the time is 2:30 am
[21:02] <Lunario> me too

[21:04] <kasper> msx: its not the same as my linux passkey apperently
[21:04] <Guest47119> mithran: Them?  My irc lets me talk with people like you.  Nautilus would help me find dpkg.cfg.d
[21:04] <mithran> Guest47119: open a new terminal and type sudo nautilus
[21:05] <mithran> Guest47119: ok dont close it

[21:06] <mithran> Guest47119: go to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d
[21:06] <Lunario> eeee: just read through this thread (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1090829).
[21:06] <mithran> Guest47119: are u there
[21:06] <mithran> ?

[21:07] <mithran> Guest47119: ur disks are there
[21:07] <Lunario> I already tried installing boot-repair but it gives me an error related to the amd64-version (doesn't exist)

[21:09] <mithran> Guest47119: can u find it
[21:09] <Guest47119> mithran: I'm doing my best, but it hangs
[21:09] <mithran> Guest47119: hmm
[21:09] <Guest47119> mithran: That's what I've been thinking for the past couple days ...
[21:10] <YamakasY> damn are the netinstall files 6,5GB ?
[21:10] <mithran> Guest47119: ok am looking on it
[21:12] <eeee> Lunario: try maybe sudo apt-get install grub-efi
[21:12] <saxgeek> Is it possible to dd a file in parts? Like interrupt it and come back later?
[21:12] <mithran> Guest47119: hai
[21:13] <Guest47119> mithran: Hai?
[21:13] <saxgeek> I need to back up a 1 TB hard drive to a network attached drive, but "dd"ing it all at once would take too long.
[21:13] <Lunario> same error message as with grub-efi-amd64
[21:13] <graingert> saxgeek: tarsnap? rsync?
[21:14] <eeee> Lunario: try update-grub
[21:14] <graingert> Do you want an image or just the files in the same layout on the filesystem
[21:14] <infinity_> anyone know where i can get this package? the link provided does't work. http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/php5-cli/download
[21:14] <Lunario> seems to have worked :)
[21:14] <saxgeek> I need an image.

[21:21] <mithran> Guest47119: hmmmmmm

[21:22] <mithran> Guest47119: then ls
[21:23] <eeee> Lunario: i just checked your website, why don't you try the workaround ?
[21:23] <mithran> Guest47119: can u fine that deb file
[21:24] <Guest47119> mithran: Got lots of wine things there
[21:24] <eeee> Lunario: nevermind
[21:24] <Guest47119> mithran: in blue, "partial" and, in red, several wine .... deb
[21:25] <Lunario> would destroy the Windows boot files according to the answer below that workaround
[21:25] <mithran> Guest47119: remove every  thing using rm command
[21:25] <Guest47119> mithran: not just the wine stuff?
[21:25] <Lunario> Maybe its best if I reinstall ubuntu?
[21:26] <mithran> guest every partial and wine stuffs
[21:26] <mithran> Guest47119: every partial and wine stuffs
[21:26] <Lunario> but then the question would be how to prevent that the same thing happens again (Windows overwriting ubuntu boot files/grub)
[21:27] <eeee> Lunario: maybe if you switch the files windows will never know

[21:28] <Lunario> switch the files like you suggested at the very beginning? (
[21:28] <mithran> Guest47119: make it faster
[21:28] <Guest47119> mithran: all wine and partial
[21:28] <mithran> Guest47119: yes

[21:30] <RedHatter> I just changed my username and home dir with usermod, but now when I try to execute a file in my home dir from the shell it says no such file even though I can see it with ls. What did I do?
[21:31] <trism> rohan: tracking bug 1331375
[21:31] <MaximumTimbo> Hello. I have a trip coming up and I would like to play a game that runs wine while i'm on the plane. 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] <agent_white> RedHatter: What commands did you run?
[21:31] <eeee> Lunario: do you want me to upload my grubx64.efi file ?
[21:32] <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?
[21:33] <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] <studmuf> does anyone know if there is a transmission-daemon channel on the freenode server?
[21:33] <RedHatter> usermod -l old new && usermod -m -d /home/old new
[21:33] <Lunario> ok, then perhaps we should try it
[21:33] <agent_white> RedHatter: That first command should've been reversed? It should be `usermod -l newname oldname`
[21:34] <agent_white> And the second
[21:34] <agent_white> `usermod -md /my/new/home newusername`
[21:34] <RedHatter> Yeah it was sorry typo
[21:34] <agent_white> erm
[21:35] <agent_white> RedHatter: Ah alrighty
[21:35] <agent_white> RedHatter: If you can't execute the file, can you open it?
[21:35] <eeee> Lunario: eeee.bshellz.net/grubx64.efi
[21:36] <Nickd55345353> hello
[21:36] <Lunario> great, thank you :)
[21:36] <Nickd55345353> is amarok good?
[21:36] <Nickd55345353> or audacious is better?
[21:36] <Lunario> now cp that into /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu?
[21:37] <eeee> yeah, also eeee.bshellz.net/shimx64.efi
[21:38] <eeee> that's the shim one
[21:38] <Lunario> k
[21:39] <eeee> try to apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64
[21:39] <Panacea> !bark
[21:40] <RedHatter> agent_white its a binary file how do I open it?
[21:40] <Ziko> Nickd55345353: how about clementine?
[21:40] <agent_white> RedHatter: Well how are you executing it?  In the console?
[21:41] <Lunario> when trying to copy the files to /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu I get input/output error again
[21:41] <Nickd55345353> clementine?
[21:41] <Ziko> yap
[21:41] <RedHatter> From the terminal ./file
[21:41] <eeee> Lunario: wait, while copying the files, or reinstalling grub?
[21:42] <Lunario> while copying
[21:42] <eeee> maybe sudo cp ?
[21:42] <eeee> i have no idea..
[21:42] <Lunario> I did sudo
[21:42] <Lunario> yeah, it's really strange
[21:42] <Lunario> maybe the efi fat32 partition is damaged?
[21:43] <Lunario> dmesg says Fat-fs (sda2): Corrupted directory (i_pos 131208)
[21:43] <agent_white> RedHatter: Try to execute it by typing the full path instead
[21:43] <agent_white> RedHatter: `/home/username/binary`
[21:44] <RedHatter> agent_white hmm... ls -l shows new as the owner but old as the group
[21:44] <eeee> Lunario: try this sudo dosfsck -r /dev/sda2
[21:45] <RedHatter> Full path does not work
[21:45] <Lunario> 0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt. 1) Remove dirty bit  2) No action
[21:46] <Lunario> Just thinking... maybe it has to do with Secure Boot being enabled?
[21:46] <eeee> could be
[21:46] <Lunario> http://askubuntu.com/questions/319419/ubuntu-13-04-does-not-work-after-windows8-update
[21:46] <eeee> it's up to you whether to let dosfsck fix it or not
[21:46] <Lunario> just reading this thread, that guy seems to have the same problem I do
[21:47] <eeee> i don't know if it might fsck the windows efi :-)
[21:48] <Lunario> I won't risk that. Now (after choosing "No Action" it says: /EFI/ubuntu - Start does point to root directory. Deleting dir. Perform changes ?y/n
[21:49] <eeee> i'd just answer no
[21:49] <eeee> back things up first
[21:49] <dlam> is there a way to see when a file or folders ownership last changed?
[21:50] <Lunario> Is there a terminal command to easily back up sda2?
[21:50] <Lunario> I never backed up anything via the command line, only with GUI programs so far
[21:50] <qwerqewqrqrqewr> Lunario:  use dd
[21:51] <agent_white> RedHatter: What is the error it gives?
[21:52] <agent_white> RedHatter: And what's the groupname?
[21:52] <RedHatter> On such file or directory: ./file
[21:52] <eeee> Lunario: yeah i think dd does it
[21:53] <agent_white> RedHatter: Copy and paste the erro in here, verbatim :)
[21:53] <RedHatter> Group name according to L's is the old username
[21:53] <agent_white> s/erro/error
[21:53] <Lunario> isn't that for erasing and reformatting disks? I have only used it for that so far
[21:53] <agent_white> RedHatter: It shouldn't matter... but... `chgrp newusername filename`
[21:53] <iszak> Lunario: can also use it to copy an image to a device or to clone it
[21:53] <agent_white> prolly need to run that as sudo.
[21:54] <eeee> Lunario: i think it copies raw images of the hard disk too
[21:54] <Lunario> alright
[21:54] <iszak> eeee: yep
[21:54] <agent_white> RedHatter: And also... `groupmod -n newname oldname`
[21:55] <RedHatter> chgrp: invalid group: 'new'
[21:56] <agent_white> RedHatter: Is your new name "new" ?
[21:56] <agent_white> That's an odd username...
[21:56] <Lunario> currently trying to find the right command for backupping my dev/sda2... probably dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb ?
[21:57] <Lunario> sdb being an external usb key
[21:57] <RedHatter> It now displays the correct group but still will not execute
[21:57] <iszak> RedHatter: add the execution bit
[21:57] <agent_white> RedHatter: "chmod u+x filename"
[21:57] <iszak> boom
[21:57] <agent_white> RedHatter: And remember, don't just say "still won't execute". We need the EXACT error it says.
[21:57] <agent_white> Otherwise it dun help us to help you.
[21:59] <RedHatter> Already had x and chmod didn't help. Same error as before zsh: no such file or directory: ./adb
[22:00] <iszak> RedHatter: is "adb" in the directory? tyoe "which adb"
[22:00] <iszak> what does it return? is it in your current directory or in one of the many PATH variables?
[22:01] <RedHatter> It is ls ./adb works which ./adb outputs ./adb
[22:02] <agent_white> Lunario: Prolly best to make a backup image instead, then just move that img to your usb. `dd if=/dev/sda2 of=~/sda2backup.img`
[22:03] <iszak> RedHatter: what's the permissions on the file? what's your user? (type whoami), what groups are you? (type groups $(whoami))
[22:03] <agent_white> iszak: Just a heads up, he did "change his username and home directory"... if you didn't see before :P
[22:03] <iszak> agent_white: I didn't
[22:04] <iszak> thanks
[22:04] <agent_white> iszak: Aye. I checked to see if he did it the right way... but he didn't directory copy-pasta his command to me.
[22:04] <agent_white> So could be a fsckup on that part.
[22:04] <Lunario> yeah, just did that
[22:04] <Lunario> :)
[22:04] <agent_white> Lunario: Good deal :D
[22:07] <RedHatter> -rwxr-xr-x timothy timothy ADM CDROM sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[22:08] <agent_white> ADM is caps?
[22:08] <Lunario> What is your suggestion to do next?
[22:09] <agent_white> Lunario: Drag-and-drop that .img file to your usb!
[22:09] <agent_white> :)
[22:09] <iszak> RedHatter: which part is your "whoami" ?
[22:11] <RedHatter> whoami timothy and no not in caps, that was just my stupid auto complete
[22:11] <agent_white> RedHatter: Again... please just copy-paste the command.
[22:11] <agent_white> And the error.
[22:12] <agent_white> Don't hand-type it. -- Correct spelling/capitalization is crucial, and a trivial fix if that's the issue.
[22:12] <RedHatter> Can't computer with the error does not have internet
[22:13] <Lunario> now that's weird - i cp'd the iso to my USB, which turned the name of my USB drive into "SYSTEM", but there is no sda2backup.img file in it.
[22:14] <A1R_> Hi, I'm trying to install irssi on my lubuntu machine, but when I "sudo apt-get install irssi...etc" it shows "E: unable to locate package ____"
[22:16] <agent_white> RedHatter: Oh boy.  Well, then try and be as precise as you can.
[22:17] <RedHatter> Will do, any more things to try?
[22:18] <agent_white> RedHatter: Verify that you did everything correctly for changing the username/home directory, logged out and back in after doing so... etc.
[22:18] <agent_white> RedHatter: Make sure you followed http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username
[22:19] <Lunario> Oh wait, actually I just plugged it in again, on another computer, and there it is - a complete image of the sda2 partiton  on the usb ey :)
[22:19] <agent_white> RedHatter: Woops! Don't follow that guide!
[22:19] <Lunario> *key
[22:20] <agent_white> RedHatter: This instead (It's an Arch Linux guide, but it applies for all distros): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/change_username
[22:20] <agent_white> "Make certain that you are not logged in as the user whose name you are about to change!"
[22:20] <agent_white> Lunario: \o
[22:21] <Lunario> So if I do the dosfsck again now, and it somehow destroys my Windows boot option, I can just copy the image back to /dev/sda2 and everything will be fine again?
[22:21] <Baribal> Hi. I've made a slideshow with Impress and recorded a voice track with audacity. How can I make a video presentation from that? I've tried just recording it with kazaam, but after less than two minutes, that reproducibly freezes my computer. (Assuming that it's buffers running full or memory running out due to data not being written to disk fast enough, I tried to just record a small area of the screen, which makes kazaam crash.) Any ideas wh
[22:21] <Baribal> at other tools I can use?
[22:22] <Lunario> Also, is it a problem that the sda2 backup on my USB key is not a .img file, but more like an extracted image file? I mean, how do I copy it back to /dev/sda2 in case its needed?
[22:28] <RedHatter> That is exactly what I did. I logged out and dropped to TTY and logged in as root to run the commands
[22:29] <eeee> Lunario: that should work
[22:29] <Lunario> k, will try
[22:29] <eeee> in case it doesn't, do you have a windows 8 recovery usb or cd ?
[22:30] <RedHatter> Hmm the login screen still has the old username
[22:30] <Lunario> there is a recovery partition preinstalled
[22:30] <eeee> you can always recreate the efi partition and use that to make the efi files
[22:30] <Lunario> But I wonder how to boot that if nothing boots at all
[22:30] <eeee> well usually it's booted with a certain key
[22:30] <agent_white> RedHatter: Try to login under each and see what happens.
[22:30] <agent_white> RedHatter: Also see what all is in /home
[22:30] <Lunario> (in fact, there is a Windows recovery partiton and even a Bios Recovery partition
[22:30] <beanee> i reinstalled the system and is now back up and running
[22:32] <RedHatter> There is only the old one and after I login to it whoami says timothy which is the new one old /home is only /home/timothy
[22:33] <eeee> i don't know if you can access the recovery partition anymore, after the partitioning scheme has been modified sometimes they dont boot anymore
[22:33] <Lunario> hmmm..
[22:33] <jcat4> I have an acer c720p, originally running linuc mint that, out of no where, was suddenly unable to connect to any wireless network. I've tried reinstalling multiple distors, but none could connect to wifi either, and all of the installers chrashed, howveer, I was able to boot into xubuntu although the installer crashed, but I still can't connect to wifi. It will see the networks, I'll enter the passphrases, and it will just sit there fo
[22:33] <eeee> Lunario: if i were you, i would boot into windows, and create a recovery usb, and copy the files to the usb or somewhere on the pc, that way you can always fix the efi
[22:34] <eeee> keep the files in a folder somewhere, you can always copy them to a usb and use them anytime
[22:34] <nosound> I have no sound. My motherboard is a Z97 with ALC1150. I've tried the fix here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421 but that has zero effect
[22:35] <jkitchen> I downgraded my kernel to 3.8.0-30 (same as what is running on another machine) and it's back again, so it seems it's a kernel issue.
[22:35] <jkitchen> I'll try to track it down
[22:36] <Lunario> hmm yeah, either that (if my PC and Windows 8.1 make it possible to create such a recovery USB), or reinstall Ubuntu and try to find a workaround for the problem. I read somewhere that it is possible to deactivate Windows' "Automatic Boot-Repair" (which allegedly causes the problems for Grub), though I did not yet manage to deactivate it
[22:36] <JordanJ2> Hi all! I'm getting this error while running 'apt-get update' on a Linode VPS running 14.04 http://pastebin.com/4t4R2U4w
[22:37] <JordanJ2> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[22:37] <eeee> JordanJ2: delete the /var/lib/apt/lists and run it again
[22:38] <eeee> change your webserver too
[22:38] <eeee> it's probably from the server
[22:38] <JordanJ2> How do I change the webserver?
[22:38] <eeee> dash > software and updates
[22:39] <JordanJ2> Via SSH?
[22:39] <eeee> to delete, do mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old
[22:39] <eeee> then mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists && mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
[22:39] <JordanJ2> Alright
[22:40] <eeee> i mean the server where you download files from
[22:40] <eeee> yours is mirrors.linode.com
[22:40] <eeee> try the main server
[22:40] <JordanJ2> Right
[22:40] <JordanJ2> What is the main server?
[22:41] <eeee> it's called main server, i get archive.ubuntu.com and extras.ubuntu.com etc.
[22:42] <eeee> JordanJ2: i think it is in /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:42] <eeee> if you have to change it from the termina;
[22:44] <SamWiseGamgee> How do you change the control set on a chat site?
[22:44] <eeee> JordanJ2: i have http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[22:45] <SamWiseGamgee> there's a really bad PF filter on a chat site that is filtering all intelligence conversation but enabling profanities galore
[22:45] <ponyofdeath> hi, is it possible to pin packages from main with higher priority than universe?
[22:45] <SamWiseGamgee> We need to change the control set to disable the PF filter on that chat site
[22:46] <SamWiseGamgee> Do you know how that can be done to improve the chat conversation?
[22:46] <OerHeks> SamWiseGamgee, there is no such ting
[22:47] <SamWiseGamgee> is there anyway to disable that really annoyhing PF filter.  It's really bad
[22:47] <SamWiseGamgee> every second word we write gets deleted.  Even simple words
[22:47] <ghostnik11> okay so i can't find my bluetooth adapter but when i run the dmesg command in terminal i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7832910/
[22:48] <OerHeks> SamWiseGamgee, maybe /quit
[22:48] <ghostnik11> how can i turn on my bluetooth adapter
[22:48] <Pici> SamWiseGamgee: Does this have anything to do with Ubuntu?
[22:48] <SamWiseGamgee> I don't know, the site uses Flash
[22:49] <eeee> lol
[22:49] <Pici> SamWiseGamgee: So... you want to get help with some unknown app, on some random website?
[22:49] <SamWiseGamgee> this is a really stupid idea
[22:50] <SamWiseGamgee> but at least I gave it a try
[22:51] <OerHeks> ghostnik11, open the bluetooth-app in dash, there are 2 sliders, on/off and visability on/off
[22:52] <ghostnik11> OerHeks, when i go to bluetooth-app it shows that bluetooth is off but its up as on
[22:53] <ghostnik11> OerHeks, visability is grayed out
[22:54] <levo> does anyone know where chrome keeps unfinished (in failure situation) download? i haven't closed the chrome since it failed.
[22:56] <lickalott> Gents, does anyone know of a good/better program for MTP transfers?  I'm using Gmtp and it BLOWS!!  I've tried using the embedded file transfer but it continuously locks up on me.
[22:58] <rap424> Does anyone know why tab-completion doesn't  go into directories? After I did a dist-upgrade whenever I try to tab-complete a directory it completes the name of the directory but leaves a space after like tab-completing a command
[23:00] <eeee> rap424: tab-completion depends on the command your using
[23:00] <rap424> eeee: it does the same thing even is I am using 'ls'
[23:00] <lickalott> rap424, which shell are you using?
[23:01] <rap424> lickalott: bash
[23:01] <rap424> and I am using Terminal
[23:01] <lickalott> is the outcome the same or different when you're using cd?
[23:01] <eeee> rap424: sorry misread your question at the end
[23:02] <lickalott> oh...so did I.
[23:02] <lickalott> I've had that happen too.
[23:02] <rap424> lickalott: 'cd' works correctly
[23:02] <lickalott> i just backspace and muscle through.  Only seems to happen when ls or trying to run a command/script with a long path name.
[23:03] <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?
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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/
[23:09] <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.
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <brunost> if you can find out what bluetooth module you have you will also be able to find the driver
[23:13] <ghostnik11> brunost, give me one sec so i can try and find it on google
[23:16] <akurilin> quick question: what's the defualt ubuntu shell for newly created users? Is it fair to assume it's always bash?
[23:17] <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?
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <monfuentes> hi I have a problem whit the fonts in somme program, some body knows something about?
[23:22] <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?
[23:23] <ghostnik11> brunost, okay one sec bro
[23:25] <Ziko> kendrick_:  software-center
[23:27] <slacko178981> I'm backing up a hard drive with dd. Does piping dd to gzip affect the copy speed in any way?
[23:30] <ghostnik11> brunost, here it is i think: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=18478
[23:35] <furkan> is there any way to run Xorg Server 1.16 on Ubuntu 14.04? or do we have to wait for 14.10?
[23:36] <ghostnik11> brunost, i am now reading something that is saying i might to add something to the linux firmware for it to work: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath3k
[23:41] <_1_tomy> hola
[23:42] <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.
[23:43] <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)
[23:46] <Henesy> Grub should auto-add the windows partition
[23:47] <Lunario> Ok, but then which mount point do I have to change and to where do I have to set it?
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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..
[23:53] <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:)
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <eeee> Lunario: the conflict is due to them having the same mount points though, not partition type
[23:58] <eeee> ?
[23:59] <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)
