| TJ- | zaltekk: I asked earlier: "Does the system have only one audio device? sometimes an HDMI audio device gets listed first and becomes the default device" ... looking at that output, that could be what has happened. the module has found the devices, but HDMI is the first device configured | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | zaltekk: look at offset 21.86 seconds | 00:00 |
| zaltekk | TJ-: no devices are displayed by aplay -l | 00:00 |
| zaltekk | so it isn't an issue of selecting the correct device | 00:00 |
| zaltekk | i can't play audio over hdmi right now either | 00:00 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: So alsa is not finding the kernel-configured devices | 00:00 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: that helps narrow the issue down | 00:01 |
| zaltekk | shit. | 00:01 |
| zaltekk | TJ-: | 00:01 |
| zaltekk | as root i see them with aplay -l | 00:01 |
| zaltekk | *sigh* shouldn've tried that a long time ago | 00:01 |
| OerHeks | Nimble, so you want to fool an SSH login ? like http://www.janusz.nl/how-to-deploy-kippo-ssh-honeypot-on-ubuntu/ | 00:01 |
| Nimble | I guess | 00:01 |
| Nimble | I want to maintain a tunnel with a computer | 00:01 |
| Nimble | but I don't want the user on the other side of the tunnel to have a legitimate shell | 00:02 |
| okabe | is there a way to add other directories for dash to index? | 00:02 |
| Nimble | I'm setting up a reverse shell | 00:02 |
| Nimble | to get through a NAT | 00:02 |
| theToastIsDone | hi guys... i guess this is a generic bash question about finding and copying files... is there a better channel to do that in? | 00:02 |
| zaltekk | all for not. somehow i got removed from the audio group when installing and reinstalling packages | 00:02 |
| zaltekk | and users | 00:03 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: aha! | 00:03 |
| zaltekk | no idea what could've done that. i removed the kubuntu package because i never leave i3 now | 00:03 |
| Nimble | OerHeks, nothing shows up on that page. Is the content loaded by javascript? If so, that's disappointing. | 00:03 |
| zaltekk | i wonder if that somehow removed me from groups | 00:03 |
| Bashing-om | zaltekk: :: TJ- ; Not for naught, I found the exercise instructive ! | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | Nimble, i think so yes, just an blog | 00:04 |
| zaltekk | going to restart back to the stock kernel module and see if it works(i assume it will) | 00:04 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: I can imagine a scenario if a package removed and recreated the audio group, but I can't imagine such a core user account having that done to it | 00:04 |
| Nimble | OerHeks, okay, well I don't care about faking a whole shell as the user will not actually be needing anything other than to keep the connection alive | 00:05 |
| Nimble | so I don't want to set up a full blown honeypot | 00:05 |
| Nimble | OerHeks, I've seen some people say that you can use /bin/false or /usr/sbin/nologin as the default shell for a user, but those programs exit | 00:06 |
| Vyse007 | Guys, my localtime is always 4 hours behind the Universal time and the RTC time as shown by 'timedatectl status'. How do I fix this? | 00:06 |
| Nimble | and I'm not sure if that will also close the connection | 00:06 |
| TJ- | Nimble: Surely you just need something like "command="sleep 172800" " in "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" of the remote server? | 00:06 |
| Nimble | TJ-, well, O | 00:07 |
| Nimble | whoops | 00:07 |
| TJ- | Nimble: That's how I do it for relayed reverse remote SSH support | 00:07 |
| Nimble | TJ-, well, I'd prefer that the other end can't adjust it at all | 00:07 |
| Bashing-om | Vyse007: Dual booting with Windows ? | 00:07 |
| Vyse007 | Bashing-om: Nope, running in VM. | 00:08 |
| ObrienDave | jon-work, 14.04.1 is available through sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:08 |
| Nimble | I don't want other curious admins poking around at what's on the user's screen session and being able to get a shell to a different computer | 00:08 |
| TJ- | Nimble: Use a RemoteForward as well? have a separate account to connect to, then use RemoteForward and 'nc' to link them over a TCP localhost connection on the remote host? | 00:08 |
| jon-work | ObrienDave, it doesn't work for me. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 00:08 |
| Nimble | is RemoteForward the -R option? | 00:09 |
| ObrienDave | jon-work, try, cat /etc/issue | 00:09 |
| jon-work | Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l | 00:09 |
| paulo_ | hello | 00:09 |
| ObrienDave | jon-work, ok, you'll have to wait for the official release | 00:10 |
| k1l_ | !ltsupgrade | jon-work | 00:10 |
| ubottu | jon-work: LTS to LTS upgrades are not offered automatically until the .1 release has been issued. Ubuntu 14.04.1 is due for release on 24th July, and you will only see an option to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 after that date. | 00:10 |
| jon-work | lol? | 00:10 |
| jon-work | is today not july 24th? | 00:10 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: apt-get dist-upgrade will not make it to 14.04 | 00:10 |
| jon-work | 14.04.1? | 00:10 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: you need "do-release-upgrade" for that if you are on 12.04 | 00:10 |
| jon-work | Ubuntu 14.04.1 is due for release on 24th July, | 00:11 |
| jon-work | what does this mean? | 00:11 |
| Nimble | TJ-, do you mean the -R option? | 00:11 |
| paulo_ | I need a kernel's debugging symbols. how do I get this without debugging? | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: you run the wrong commands. | 00:11 |
| jon-work | so 14.04.1 is not going to be released on july 24th, is that right? | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: stop | 00:11 |
| TJ- | Nimble: have you ever seen pwnat? ( http://samy.pl/pwnat/ ) | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: do a "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 00:12 |
| zaltekk | TJ-: not sure. like i said, i removed a lot of the core "desktop" packages | 00:12 |
| Nimble | never, TJ- | 00:12 |
| zaltekk | and xorg was pratically reinstalled | 00:12 |
| blur702 | When adding a virtual host to apache, where do I add the directives? I'm just used to adding the < virtualhost> info in the apache.conf.. | 00:12 |
| jon-work | Checking for a new Ubuntu release | 00:12 |
| jon-work | No new release found | 00:12 |
| Nimble | but I'll check it out, it looks like I might be able to use it | 00:12 |
| k1l_ | jon-work: right: no announcement so far: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2014-July/date.html | 00:13 |
| usr_ | Today is 14.04.1 Release Date. Where is 12.04 to 14.04 update? | 00:13 |
| jon-work | lol | 00:13 |
| Nimble | TJ-, this looks like it will solve several other issues for me that I haven't even gotten to yet, so thanks a lot! | 00:13 |
| angel_ | hi, i have an ubuntu live usb and an acer aspire p3 that i want to format but i can't get it to boot from the usb | 00:14 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, you need to set USB booting up in BIOS | 00:14 |
| zaltekk | also, it's working fine now | 00:14 |
| zaltekk | glad to see there wasn't a real issue | 00:14 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: *phew* I hate audio issues, avoid them like the plague - worst things ever to diagnose over IRC! | 00:15 |
| anonymous__ | should we ddos brazzers again? | 00:15 |
| gunarm | i got a RNX-N600UBE usb wifi adapter and I'm trying to get it working, plugging it in didn't do anything, https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Rosewill_RNX-N600UBE_v1 has a linux driver but says "for kernel 2.6.31 or below" | 00:15 |
| gunarm | and https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Rosewill_RNX-N600UBE_v1 says "USB ID first seen in kernel v2.6.31" | 00:16 |
| zaltekk | sadly i overlooked checking the audio group because i knew i was already in it | 00:16 |
| TJ- | zaltekk: I know the feeling... I remind myself every time I waste an hour only to find a cable is faulty :) | 00:16 |
| gunarm | which implies to me it should now be supported by the kernel... (but i'm iffy on how that works) if it should be supported by the kernel already.... what do I do to make it show up in ifconfig? | 00:17 |
| gunarm | angel_, have you used ubuntu on that laptop before? I am using aspire s3 as we speak but man it was a struggle to get things working right in ubuntu | 00:18 |
| TJ- | gunarm: first thing to do is get the exact manufacturer:device ID using "lsusb" (it looks like e.g. A4F2:052C) | 00:18 |
| TJ- | gunarm: Second thing to do is search which kernel driver is responsible for that device ID, using "grep -i '148f.*3572' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules*" (you may need to replace the search term values 148f and 3572) | 00:21 |
| gunarm | 148f:5572 | 00:21 |
| angel_ | gunarm, yes i have been using ubuntu for 7 years. | 00:21 |
| TJ- | gunarm: third thing is to check that kernel module is loaded using "lsmod | grep rt2800usb" (if "rt2800usb" was the module reported) | 00:21 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, found a youtube tutorial on how to get bios, thanks | 00:21 |
| TJ- | gunarm: if "lsmod..." returns no results the kernel module isn't loaded, if it returns results, the kernel module (driver) is loaded and you can move on to looking at the system configuration | 00:22 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, you need to set 1, CD/DVD 2, external HD 3, internal HD. or something like that | 00:23 |
| TJ- | gunarm: assuming all that checks out, then you list all the wireless interfaces with "iwconfig" and identify the wireless interface name (probably wlan0) | 00:24 |
| gunarm | angel_, i meant have you been using it on *that* laptop, since I had problems with aspires | 00:25 |
| gunarm | TJ-, hrm so if grepping the modules folder doesn't find anything, it might not be supported? | 00:25 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, you need to set, #1 CD/DVD, #2 external HD, #3 internal HD. or something like that | 00:25 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, for clarification :) | 00:26 |
| TJ- | gunarm: Yes. which Ubuntu release do you have there? "cat /etc/issue && uname -r" | 00:26 |
| gunarm | TJ-, 12.04.4 3.2.0-67-generic | 00:27 |
| TJ- | gunarm: That's why, it's too old. The 5572 support was introduced in kernel v3.10, see https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Ralink_RT5572 | 00:28 |
| gunarm | TJ-, does that mean i'll need to leave the 12.04 lts if I want support for it? | 00:29 |
| gunarm | or rebuild my kernel i guess? | 00:29 |
| TJ- | gunarm: You could install the Trusty HardWare Enablement pack (HWE), which would support it. See here for details of HWE for 12.04. Take note that all but the Trusty (14.04.1) HWE have not support/runs out next month. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 00:29 |
| gunarm | great thanks. better than nothing! | 00:30 |
| TJ- | gunarm: You'll want "linux-generic-lts-trusty" and "xserver-xorg-lts-trusty" if you go that route | 00:31 |
| angel_ | gunarm, no, never, its new. | 00:33 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, but now i get an error that my kernel image is corrupted | 00:33 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, did the USB boot ok? | 00:34 |
| === Consuela is now known as ishanyx | ||
| === ishanyx is now known as Consuela | ||
| angel_ | ObrienDave, yes i am at unetbootin | 00:35 |
| angel_ | restarted the coputer and i see the unetbootin options | 00:36 |
| angel_ | but it stays there | 00:36 |
| gunarm | TJ-, i notice that page says HWE is only compatible with x86 and I have x86_64 | 00:36 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, sounds like a bad transfer to USB, try again or burn ISO to DVD | 00:36 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, it doesn't have cd dvd drive, just usb | 00:37 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, then try transfer to USB again or use a different utility | 00:37 |
| gunarm | angel_, mine was brand new also, it basically worked but a few things like touchpad didn't work, also the internal wifi card lost connection all the time but I finally figured out that's not ubuntus fault just shoddy parts | 00:37 |
| gunarm | http://www.linlap.com/acer that page helped me but it doesn't have one for p3 so maybe its pretty compatible | 00:38 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, what do you mean transfer to usb again? | 00:38 |
| === bugzeep is now known as bugzee | ||
| angel_ | and acer aspire p3 has one usb port, one hdmi and thats it | 00:38 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, use unetbootin to remake the USB or a different utility like tuxboot | 00:38 |
| it_ | hello all | 00:39 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, what OS is on the laptop? | 00:39 |
| jay_ | Anyone who's heard my issues still around? | 00:40 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, windows 8 | 00:40 |
| jay_ | Yo OerHeks: I uninstalled just about all of my ppas | 00:40 |
| === lbaway is now known as luckybunny | ||
| ObrienDave | angel_, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/#USB-Creators | 00:41 |
| jay_ | Can someone help me with some graphics issues? | 00:41 |
| ObrienDave | !ask | jay_ | 00:42 |
| ubottu | jay_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 00:42 |
| ObrienDave | !uefi | angel_ | 00:42 |
| ubottu | angel_: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:42 |
| TJ- | gunarm: The "x86" means Intel/AMD x86 processor types (32-bit ix86 and 64-bit amd64) | 00:43 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, do you want to replace Win8 or run alongside? | 00:43 |
| gunarm | TJ-, thank you | 00:44 |
| gunarm | TJ-, so like as opposed to ARM or something then | 00:44 |
| TJ- | gunarm: You took the example right out of my mouth :) | 00:44 |
| jay_ | I've had a huge amount of issues today mainly pertaining to graphics. My X environment got wiped out and I had to reinstall everything pertaining to X (I probably forgot about a lot of stuff). I'm just trying to get my environment back to normal. My first question is about drivers: I have intel integrated 4400 graphics but glxinfo as well as "Details" tells me that my Driver is "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)" is this what it should be or should it be intel d | 00:44 |
| gunarm | TJ-, ;) | 00:44 |
| ObrienDave | jay_, that would probably depend on the mobo manufacturer | 00:45 |
| TJ- | jay_: When packages go missing, you can repair the stack simply with, for example, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop" (or "kubuntu-desktop", or "lubtuntu-desktop" depending on which Flavour is required) | 00:45 |
| okabe | is it possible to add other directories for dash to index? | 00:46 |
| ObrienDave | or xubuntu-desktop ;P | 00:46 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Will that overwrite anything? Also I was having some issues with PPAs breaking things by installing other packages (I think) | 00:46 |
| TJ- | jay_: It will reinstall all packages that are part of the "ubuntu-desktop" ... if PPAs have installed newer packages that might throw a spanner into the works. | 00:48 |
| jay_ | TJ-: About the PPAs. I called ppa-purge on almost all of them, but they still show up in Ubuntu Software Center | 00:49 |
| TJ- | jay_: The package for the intel drivers should be "xserver-xorg-video-intel" | 00:49 |
| TJ- | jay_: Are they ticked in the software sources list, or unticked. If unticked, that means they are known but not in use | 00:50 |
| chrstphrchvz | Does the size of /boot/grub vary by installation or over time, making it undesirable for separate partition? see description: http://ur1.ca/htmwi (Unsure if a support or development question, since I am seeking knowledge/opinion.) | 00:50 |
| superdave321 | Anyone able to help with ajenti? | 00:50 |
| jay_ | TJ-: They're not even in the list, though ubuntu-x-swwat ppa is in there and is check, is that an issue? Also I tried to apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel and I got "xserver-xorg-video-intel set to manually installed. | 00:52 |
| TJ- | chrstphrchvz: Yes, it can vary slightly as newer kernels are installed, if older kernels aren't also removed. I generally use a 512MB /boot/ file-system partition | 00:52 |
| angel_ | ObrienDave, replace w8 | 00:52 |
| TJ- | jay_: My guess would be the x-swat PPA would be providing all the X stack, so if you're using it, keep it... don't try to back out to the main archive unless you want more breakage | 00:53 |
| Timon_Crazy | All system administrators to congratulate "SysAdmin Day" (the last Friday of July)! | 00:53 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Okay. and about the the intel drivers? | 00:54 |
| TJ- | jay_: " set to manually installed" simply means the dependency system now thinks it ought not to remove that package, even if you remove all the packages that depend on it - the rest of the X server stack! | 00:54 |
| ReversePhase | How can I give all users access to /dev/udp ? | 00:54 |
| jay_ | TJ-: So in theory it _should_ be reporting that my drivers are intel? | 00:55 |
| TJ- | jay_: usually, when you "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" that depends on the xorg-xserver which in turn depends on the various xserver packages, so removing "ubuntu-desktop" would have apt tell you that all the dependent packages can be "autoremove"-d. When one of those packages is "manually installed" "apt-get autoremove" won't remove it | 00:56 |
| Bashing-om | chrstphrchvz: A separate /boot is something of an anachronism, dating back to limited PC BIOSes that could only handle small disks, so the boot files had to be at the start of the disk. Nowadays, this is no longer applicable . | 00:56 |
| TJ- | jay_: that may depend on the X server's "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" if there is one. If there isn't and therefore the X server os auto-detecting, then I'd expect it to use the Intel driver | 00:56 |
| TJ- | jay_: Assuming the intel driver(s) from x-swat do support that chipset, which I'd imagine they ought to | 00:57 |
| jay_ | TJ-: There's no xorg.conf | 00:57 |
| chrstphrchvz | TJ-, I mean specifically /boot/grub rather than /boot (i.e. as an alternative). E.g. I can keep /boot on my root partition, and use a separate /boot/grub, but is a good idea? (I know it works.) | 00:57 |
| TJ- | chrstphrchvz: You're asking to confuse GRUB, since it expects /boot/ and /boot/grub/ to be in the same root file-system | 00:58 |
| TJ- | chrstphrchvz: but specifically, grub/ doesn't vary much in size, it contains the GRUB loadable modules, the saved environment, and grub.cfg | 00:59 |
| angel_ | does someone here owns an acer aspire p3? | 00:59 |
| jay_ | TJ-: On a slightly unrelated note. Workspace switcher use to be really fluid, if I went up I could see the programs in front of my move down, moreso the small boxes on the workspace display in the center of my screen were the actual copies of my desktop. I could see the background, the various windows open, etc. Now when I switch workspaces the result is instantanious and theres no fluidity at all. The small boxes representing the 4 workspaces have also now turned | 01:03 |
| jay_ | me* | 01:03 |
| chrstphrchvz | Bashing-om, GRUB is (theoretically) able to boot LVM etc. (what it is typically installed with nowadays) without a /boot partition, but it can result in "core.img unusually large" and failing to install (see description for cases). | 01:04 |
| TJ- | jay_: That sounds like a result if the slower 2D software graphics driver being used | 01:04 |
| ice9 | bluetooth on/off status is reset when logoff, how to keep it? | 01:04 |
| angel_ | does someone here know how to iinstall ubuntu on a tablet with one usb slot? | 01:04 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, depends on the tablet and its hardware | 01:05 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Okay, so how do you propose I switch back to intel drivers? | 01:06 |
| chrstphrchvz | TJ-, how is it confusing GRUB? grub-install is OK with it once mounted properly (and in fstab), and even manually specifying a /boot/grub partition at install time is OK. | 01:06 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, acer aspire p3. the problem is that i get to the unetbootin options but once there i can't click any options | 01:06 |
| ReversePhase | any way to allow the www-data user access to /dev/udp ? | 01:06 |
| TJ- | chrstphrchvz: the update-grub scripts might generate incorrect UUIDs in some circumstances | 01:07 |
| Bashing-om | chrstphrchvz: LVM is out of my sphere of knowledge, No idea how one would boot up a full LVM system . | 01:07 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: GRUB has raid and lvm modules, it can initialise a PV->VG->LV to find file-systems | 01:08 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, you have just tried to exstract the iso and then sync it to usb ? I am not that good with that tablet in fact never seen on or tried to install any thing on it | 01:09 |
| DarkAceXtreme | am I able to transfer/duplicate my current Ubuntu system to another drive? | 01:09 |
| ObrienDave | DarkAceXtreme, with a cloning utility like clonezilla, yes | 01:10 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, I also think that you might need a keyboard just to get to the OS or set it up so that it goes to install auto style | 01:10 |
| DarkAceXtreme | sounds neat | 01:10 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Should I reinstall ubuntu desktop to get the intel drivers or is there something I should setup with xorg.conf? | 01:11 |
| ObrienDave | DarkAceXtreme, works good, i just used clonezilla to transfer Win7 and Xubuntu to a 1.5TB drive. no problems except for time involved LOL | 01:12 |
| DarkAceXtreme | heh, sounds like it could take a while | 01:12 |
| TJ- | jay_: I'm not sure, the drivers should be auto-loaded by the X server. If they aren't, check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for diagnostic information, warnings, errors, etc. | 01:12 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, the problem is i have only one usb slot so i can't plug a keyboard | 01:12 |
| TJ- | angel_: USB hub? | 01:13 |
| ObrienDave | DarkAceXtreme, hours and hours | 01:13 |
| angel_ | TJ- ?? | 01:13 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, there is no way to use usb hubs ? | 01:13 |
| TJ- | angel_: tablet <> USB HUB > USB devices | 01:13 |
| MrMadMan | or make a compiled example via buildroot | 01:13 |
| jay_ | TJ-: My log is filled with a bunch of this error: FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument | 01:14 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, TJ- didn't knew they were called that | 01:14 |
| TJ- | jay_: That doesn't look good | 01:14 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, that what was called that ? | 01:14 |
| jay_ | TJ-: I agree... Also when I grep for intel I get http://pastebin.com/6j4a7LcT | 01:15 |
| TJ- | jay_: can you pastebin "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" ? | 01:15 |
| TJ- | jay_: I think that error is caused by a mismatch between libdrm and the X server drivers | 01:16 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, TJ- ok i will try to get a usb hub but i don't have one right now. is there a way to get the tablet to boot? | 01:16 |
| ObrienDave | DarkAceXtreme, http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php | 01:16 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Here's the entire log http://pastebin.com/pCKxnEev | 01:17 |
| DarkAceXtreme | ObrienDave, thanks. I'm thinking about buying a new 2TB hard drive, because I want to play some games that are windows-only, and Direct X isn't very stable in virtualbox yet :P | 01:17 |
| DarkAceXtreme | and I don't know if it's safe to partition my current primary drive | 01:17 |
| ObrienDave | DarkAceXtreme, never will be stable in a VM ;P | 01:18 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, you could make a OS that boots right to you DM or nodm ect. look at things like buildroot and chroot and UCK and also remastersys | 01:18 |
| TJ- | angel_: I don't know, never investigated, you'd need to read up what other owners of that device have experienced | 01:18 |
| DarkAceXtreme | and if it is, it still is probably dangerous to have Windows on the same drive as anything else :P | 01:18 |
| DarkAceXtreme | because thanks Microsoft | 01:18 |
| MrMadMan | IE build the iso / img then boot right to it | 01:18 |
| MrMadMan | then use ubiqity to intall | 01:18 |
| MrMadMan | or something like that | 01:19 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, i don't understand you | 01:19 |
| mahem1_ | Hey all, so I am having this wierd issue with kWin key bindings using the "Global Keyboard Shortcuts" app. Is this the right place to ask? | 01:19 |
| ObrienDave | remastersys is dead. look into relinux | 01:19 |
| TJ- | jay_: It seems that the fbdev driver is being loaded in preference to the intel driver | 01:19 |
| MrMadMan | ObrienDave, just was a example there was better ones lol | 01:20 |
| angel_ | how can i boot a tablet with a live usb? | 01:20 |
| ObrienDave | MrMadMan, yes, i know :) | 01:20 |
| MrMadMan | ObrienDave, I am more a fan of buildroot | 01:20 |
| jay_ | TJ-: I see.... can I specify preference somewhere? | 01:20 |
| ObrienDave | MrMadMan, been looking at that. interesting | 01:21 |
| MrMadMan | or yocto is also nice ObrienDave | 01:21 |
| MrMadMan | ObrienDave, there is also spindle but that is just scripts that are for the pi. But could alter real easy | 01:22 |
| MrMadMan | ObrienDave, https://github.com/asb/spindle << spindle | 01:23 |
| ObrienDave | MrMadMan, thanks | 01:23 |
| TJ- | jay_: It is auto-determined. The only clue I see is "vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver" ... can you pastebin "sudo lspci -nnvvvk" ? | 01:23 |

| happyfr0gg | Hello! I am using Xchat in Ubuntu Precise. In the channel list area I see the various channels listed in orange, white, and red. What does this mean? | 01:26 |
| TJ- | jay_: strange, the kernel is using the i915 driver... not sure why the fbdev driver is being used by the X server. it could be the libdrm mismatch I mentioned. | 01:28 |
| angel_ | hi .how can i boot a tablet with a live usb? | 01:28 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, I told you you just need to do the research | 01:28 |
| happyfr0gg | angel | 01:28 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, can you help me understand what you said? | 01:29 |
| TJ- | angel_: I think you should give up unless you are a Linux hacker. From what I've just read, it is all but impossible to get an input device to work even if the tablet boots from a Live USB since there is no way to interact with the installer | 01:29 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, I can not guide you on how to make a OS but other apps can along with youtube and google. It would just take to long and flood the channel | 01:30 |
| tdannecy | angel_: You should check out the XDA forums to see if there's an Ubuntu rom that's built for your tablet. Depending on your model, it could be a very difficult process. | 01:30 |
| MrMadMan | tdannecy, it is a i5 | 01:30 |
| MrMadMan | not arm | 01:30 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, i don't think thats what i need. | 01:30 |
| tdannecy | MrMadMan: I don't understand your message. | 01:31 |
| angel_ | TJ-, thats sounds bad is there no other option? | 01:31 |
| angel_ | tdannecy, let me google xda | 01:31 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, well then wait and get a usbhub. as that would help or spin up a distro with a user and DM that you can loginto with out a keyboard | 01:31 |
| jay_ | TJ-: So what should I do? libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, and libglapi-mesa all have available updates | 01:32 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, I suggest maiilit or onboard so that you can use with no keyboard to install | 01:32 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Though I think that caused issues last time because it broke compatability with other stuff cause the updates come from the x-updates PPA | 01:33 |
| angel_ | MrMadMan, are those live usb creators? | 01:33 |
| MrMadMan | if you spin up your own distro so that there is a user and what not that you can sign in and install via ubiqity << spelling is wrong | 01:33 |
| ObrienDave | angel_, http://forum.xda-developers.com/ find your tablet model and carrier in the forums | 01:33 |
| TJ- | jay_: I'm not sure, I tend to keep the X server packages in sync so don't hit those kinds of issues. | 01:34 |
| jay_ | TJ-: How do I do that lol | 01:34 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, no I am saying that you make a OS of Ubuntu via virtual box clone it / make a loader and that has a user and also has some tools installed then... use DD and also sync to a usb and boot it stright to the OS. IE no installer. Something that is set up already . | 01:35 |
| jay_ | TJ-: I suppose I should also mention on on 12.04 | 01:35 |
| TJ- | jay_: Don't use bleeding-edge PPAs , just use the main archives or the HardWare Enablement stacks | 01:35 |
| jay_ | TJ-: So should I purge the xorg ppa and just reinstall desktop or something? | 01:35 |
| TJ- | angel_: to create the bootable installer USB image, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 01:36 |
| angel_ | TJ-, i already have that | 01:36 |
| angel_ | i used unetbootin | 01:36 |
| angel_ | but when i boot it stays on the unetbootin options | 01:37 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, or you can use many different tools that are out there to clone the OS (the one that is in the VM ) then use all that to make a img or so or whatever and just load stright to the OS. BUT and this is a big but. you have to make sure that there is no hard core dependences on the bootloader | 01:37 |
| TJ- | jay_: That would be my preference, but you might shed more tears getting back to a sane dependency state... and in the interim learn how to use the console :) | 01:37 |
| TJ- | angel_: OK, so what happens when you configure the P3 to boot from USB, with the USB device plugged in? | 01:37 |
| superdave321 | Would anyone help me decode this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7851138/ | 01:37 |
| MrMadMan | TJ-, her ( angel_ ) only has one usb port so no keyboard | 01:37 |
| MrMadMan | or his * | 01:38 |
| angel_ | TJ-, it boots to unetbootin options then stays there | 01:38 |
| rocko2_ | is it true you can't use skype on 64 bit ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| TJ- | angel_: Have you tried booting another PC from that USB device? Does it do the same thing? Of so, sounds like the creation process went wrong, so redo it and test it again | 01:38 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Alright....well what's the easiest solution here? Not counting reinstalling Ubuntu | 01:38 |
| arul | totally untrue | 01:39 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, tried to cp iso to usb then exstract it then run sync so it boots with out unetbootin ? | 01:39 |
| arul | just skyping on 64bit ubuntu :) | 01:39 |
| TJ- | jay_: I'd purge the PPAs and their packages and try to get a sane 12.04 configuration first | 01:39 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Also why would there be dependency issues? After sudo apt-get reeinstall ubuntu-desktop and then just update stuff? | 01:39 |
| MrMadMan | angel_, but no to less you are going to need a virtual keyboard to install (users enter keys ect ) | 01:40 |
| tdannecy | superdave321: I can take a crack at it. Can I PM you? | 01:40 |
| MrMadMan | none to less * | 01:40 |
| TJ- | jay_: If any PPA package get left behind after the purge, downgrade of packages to satisfy dependencies of the 'stock' package version might break | 01:40 |
| superdave321 | tdannecy sure! thanks | 01:40 |
| TJ- | angel_: This thread seems to indicate that some P3 users have had success. Have you tried posting a question there asking how they did it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2195828 | 01:42 |
| jay_ | TJ-: So when trying to purge x-updates I get E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:43 |

| MrMadMan | TJ-, "angel" is whom i and talking about | 01:44 |
| TJ- | MrMadMan: I *am* aware of that... however, at least one user reports booting 14.04 live on that device and the only thing not working was sound, but that then worked subsequently. | 01:44 |

| jay_ | seemed to change a lot | 01:45 |
| jay_ | I'll reboot and report back | 01:45 |
| TJ- | angel_: MrMadMan: My expectation would be that as the keyboards are Bluetooth, as long as the installer auto-starts from the boot-manager, it'll auto-connect to a/the BT keyboard | 01:45 |
| MrMadMan | TJ-, good point about the BT I did not know that there was one in the playing field | 01:46 |
| TJ- | angel_: The key thing would be to choose the "Try Ubuntu" option to load the live environment, then install using the "Install Ubuntu" icon on the desktop | 01:47 |
| meganerd | TJ-: it depends on the BTB keyboards and the implementation. On my system the bluetooth keyboard is not available until the login screen | 01:47 |
| TJ- | MrMadMan: From what I read, that device has 2 BT keyboards. One is some kind of slip-on cover which doesn't initially pair since the default pass-code is wrong - the thread I gave details how to fix that though | 01:47 |
| MrMadMan | meganerd, upstart/systemd | 01:47 |
| MrMadMan | TJ-, I see says the blind man | 01:48 |
| meganerd | MrMadMan: there is no systemd yet | 01:48 |
| TJ- | meganerd: That would be fine, the "Try Ubuntu" option does auto-login to the 'ubuntu' user | 01:48 |
| snowrichard | flashplugin installer is hanging at the download | 01:49 |
| meganerd | TJ-: I have a logitech k810 that periodically needs repairing. I am not a fan of BT only keyboards. | 01:49 |
| meganerd | TJ-: it *should* work, I just have extensive experiences of it not working :) | 01:49 |
| Brad___ | hi all, so my goal is to get a job relating to network administration what degrees should i try to get for this field? | 01:49 |
| somsip | Brad___: finding the correct IRC channel to ask this question is your first task | 01:50 |
| TJ- | meganerd: The user(s) with the same Aspire P3 as angel_ report it does, so there is hope :) | 01:50 |
| meganerd | Brad___: wrong channel. At a start the Cisco courses are where I would look. If you want to play around first, have a look at lartc.org | 01:50 |
| jay_ | TJ-: No luck :( | 01:50 |
| TJ- | Brad___: try ##networking | 01:51 |
| TJ- | jay_: :( | 01:51 |
| TJ- | jay_: Are all the packages plain ole 12.04 now? What is the X org log showing, the same error? | 01:51 |
| meganerd | Brad___: wrong channel. At a start the Cisco courses are where I would look. If you want to play around first, have a look at lartc.org | 01:51 |
| Brad___ | i had no idea these channels existed, this was the only channel i knew of when i need help with my server, thanks guys! | 01:51 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Yeah same error it looks like | 01:51 |
| jay_ | TJ-: How do I check if they're all standard 12.04 packages? | 01:53 |
| TJ- | jay_: You don't have "nomodeset" on the kernel command-line, do you ("cat /proc/cmdline") ? | 01:53 |
| TJ- | jay_: if you've removed all the PPAs and those packages downgraded I'd think they should be the 12.04 archive packages | 01:53 |
| jay_ | TJ-: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic root=UUID=af30df8b-eabe-4a2b-99f6-32bc2e4aa914 ro acpi_backlight=vendor | 01:53 |
| TJ- | jay_: So, do you have the Xserver HWE packages installed, it looks as if you have the HWE linux kernel packages from Trusty | 01:56 |
| jay_ | TJ-: What packages are those? | 01:56 |
| TJ- | jay_: I *think* they are "linux-generic-lts-trusty" and "xserver-xorg-lts-trusty" and "libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty" plus their 'recommends' | 01:58 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Don't I want precise if I'm on 12.04? | 01:58 |
| TJ- | jay_: as in "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty" | 01:58 |
| TJ- | jay_: Your Xorg log shows the system is on kernel 3.13, which is from Trusty, which suggests you have installed either a custom kernel or the Trusty HWE | 01:59 |
| TJ- | jay_: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 01:59 |
| agliodbs | hey, I just launched a precise64 Vagrant VM, and got a warning about the HWE going EOL. I'm concerned about this because I'm preparing the VM for a class, and I don't want all of the students to see a critical warning when they log in. Is this some kind of side effect of having a host machine on a later version of Ubunut? | 02:00 |
| agliodbs | Ubuntu that is | 02:00 |
| jay_ | TJ-: So that sounds like I screwed up then? This all started when I updated my hardware stack this morning | 02:00 |
| freshair | hey all, how are we? | 02:01 |
| === shuduo_afk is now known as shuduo | ||
| TJ- | jay_: did you use the command I just showed to update the hardware stack? | 02:03 |
| jay_ | TJ-: No, should I do that even though I'm running 12.04? | 02:03 |
| TJ- | The HWE *is* for 12.04, that's the point of it | 02:04 |
| usuario | :) | 02:05 |
| TJ- | jay_: The HWE brings more modern hardware support to an older LTS release (12.04) by packaging the latest release's kernel and X server packages specifically for 12.04, and continuing to provide support for that 12.04.5 stack until the end of the 12.04 LTS support period | 02:05 |
| meganerd | agliodbs: you should not need the HWE stack in a VM | 02:06 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Ah I see, just ran that. Rebooting now | 02:06 |
| coventry | Is there any way to play quicktime movies on ubuntu? I'm getting "VLC does not support the audio or video format "twos". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 02:06 |

| meganerd | freshair: I thought that Con's work is all upstream now? | 02:06 |
| agliodbs | meganerd: yeah, I'm more concerned about disabling the warning. It will confuse my students. | 02:07 |
| freshair | meganerd: Does that mean it is not being updated? | 02:07 |
| meganerd | freshair: that means that it is no longer a separate thing. | 02:07 |
| jay_ | TJ-: You. Are. Awesome. | 02:07 |
| freshair | meganerd: so, I just need to apply the latest 3.15/6 linux kernel> | 02:08 |
| meganerd | freshair: it would help to know what you want those patches to do? | 02:08 |
| TJ- | jay_: It worked? | 02:08 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Yeah it appears so! | 02:08 |
| jay_ | TJ-: One quick thing though | 02:08 |
| freshair | meganerd: I have an old system and am looking to try and squeeze out a bit more from the scheduler etc since I've heard it can help | 02:08 |
| TJ- | jay_: ... and 8 hours later... :p | 02:09 |
| meganerd | agliodbs: I don't have any 12.04 VMs anymore, so I am not sure why you are getting that error. Is your base VM using the 12.10 HWE? | 02:09 |
| freshair | Currently on the -pk 3.15 kernel but it fails to shutdown properly at times | 02:09 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Earlier I tried to backup my compiz settings, and when I reapplied them shit got screwed up. My old background is still there on my lockscreen but not when I log in. Does that mean my old settings are still there somewhere or are the lockscreen and desktop controlled differently? | 02:09 |
| jay_ | TJ-: :D | 02:09 |
| meganerd | freshair: just use the regular kernel, you are not going to see any perceptible difference | 02:09 |
| agliodbs | meganerd: no, it's the ubuntu/precise64 box from virtualbox. Supposedly created by Canonical. I suspect it's running the 12.04.2 HWE | 02:09 |
| TJ- | agliodbs: I'd think the warning is coming from the motd scripts. Check in "/etc/update-motd.d/" and disable it if you really need to | 02:09 |
| agliodbs | TJ-: thanks. | 02:10 |
| meganerd | agliodbs: HWEs are *for* 12.04, they bring newer kernels and X drivers to the older LTS release | 02:10 |
| freshair | meganerd: what version of the kernel is on the stock Ubuntu 14.04? | 02:10 |
| TJ- | jay_: As I recall the greeter background setting is kept separately, but although I once knew where to find it for lightdm, I have forgotten now :) | 02:10 |
| meganerd | freshair: 3.13 | 02:10 |
| freshair | Cheerio, I shall try installing 3.15 official kernel maybe? | 02:10 |
| TJ- | agliodbs: The HWEs aren't recommended for VM guests though so you should'nt really need/have them at all | 02:11 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Not a problem. I'm just happy to have things behaving normally again :) | 02:11 |
| meganerd | freshair: you might want to change out your DE for something simplier if performance is a problem. How old of a system are we talking about? | 02:11 |
| jay_ | TJ-: Thanks so much for all the help man. Seriously I've been at this ALL day | 02:11 |
| freshair | 2008 C2D laptop | 02:11 |
| TJ- | jay_: I know what it is like, glad you're sorted :) | 02:11 |
| meganerd | freshair: so like a core2duo? | 02:11 |
| agliodbs | TJ-: OK, I'll see if I can disable it in motd | 02:11 |
| freshair | meganerd: honestly, it's just an excercise to try and tinker around | 02:11 |
| agliodbs | otherwise I'll be back here tommorrow ... | 02:11 |
| freshair | meganerd: yep | 02:11 |
| meganerd | agliodbs: just remove the HWE packages | 02:12 |
| newbie18 | I am new to the pxe with preseed, which option will automatically set hostname as the one queried from dns/dhcp? right now it stops waiting a press "enter " to go ahead | 02:12 |
| agliodbs | meganerd: oh, that's an even better idea. I'll also confirm the box owner and try to get them to fix the box. | 02:12 |
| agliodbs | later | 02:12 |
| meganerd | freshair: I have a core2duo kicking around that works great, though I have 8 GB of RAM in it. RAM and an SSD are going to breath new life into that system, regardless of the OS | 02:13 |
| TJ- | freshair: I second what meganerd recommends :) | 02:13 |
| freshair | Indeed. Thanks mate. Back to normal kernel - saves me time I guess :-) | 02:13 |
| freshair | I am just so used to trying out kernels for the android phone you know? | 02:14 |
| freshair | It | 02:14 |
| freshair | *It's a bad habit carried over I guess | 02:15 |
| * TJ- hides the v3.16-rc6-utopic mainline kernel he's just installed :p | 02:15 | |
| meganerd | freshair: if you really want to mess around with a low latency kernel (mostly used by us "pro" audio guys, there are packages that you can get from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 02:16 |
| newbie18 | hey guys, help me please ^^^ | 02:16 |
| meganerd | TJ-: right with ya TJ | 02:16 |
| freshair | meganerd: Thanks matey. I might try 2.6.15 first ;-) [just joking] | 02:16 |
| Matriks404 | try 0.01 | 02:16 |
| meganerd | Matriks404: it probably won't boot | 02:17 |
| Matriks404 | meganerd: yeah, I know :D | 02:17 |
| meganerd | freshair: you can try it, just don't expect a lot of support :) You should be able to choose an older kernel from the grub boot menu if things mess uop | 02:18 |
| meganerd | freshair: I used to be a kernel junkie (especially the low latency patches for low latency audio mixing), at least until the kids showed up | 02:18 |
| freshair | meganerd: I can understand. Now you get to tinker with their behaviour so to speak | 02:19 |
| freshair | silly questions, what is the theoretical difference between mainline vs stable? | 02:22 |
| TJ- | freshair: mainline is the active master HEAD development branch, stable is a full release possibly with backported bug fixes | 02:23 |
| freshair | Lovely! Perhaps that's why android OS is behind in their kernel versions | 02:24 |
| meganerd | freshair: android is behind due to their development cycle and project management | 02:24 |
| meganerd | freshair: just look at cyanogen's stuff | 02:25 |
| freshair | But I imagine the devices wouldn;t benefit much from the newer versions would they? | 02:25 |
| meganerd | freshair: probably not noticeably | 02:25 |
| TJ- | freshair: Mostly it's because Android kernel is still a fork of mainline, and also so many drivers are out-of-tree or rely on userspace binary blobs so they fix on one version and then have to stick with it | 02:25 |
| freshair | ah but security might be an issue right? | 02:25 |
| meganerd | freshair: security is often backported, even to old 2.4 kernels IIRC. | 02:26 |
| freshair | that's good to know | 02:26 |
| TJ- | freshair: the delta is getting much smaller now as mainline incorporates Android concepts, if not their original implementations | 02:26 |
| meganerd | freshair: of course there is no guarantee that Android does that. I both love and hate Google | 02:26 |
| freshair | well, it could be worse right? | 02:27 |
| meganerd | freshair: it could always be worse. | 02:27 |
| meganerd | anyway, gotta run. Best of luck with your kernel adventures. | 02:27 |

| rocko2_ | is it true that skype doesn't work on ubuntu 64? | 03:19 |
| Nimble | rocko2_, if skype is only compiled for 32 bit then you can install the appropriate 32 bit libraries and it should run | 03:23 |
| Nimble | so theoretically it should | 03:23 |

| marcuspbaird | hi all | 03:40 |
| marcuspbaird | on ubuntu 14.04 how do I upgrade to 14.04.1 | 03:40 |
| marcuspbaird | or is it done already | 03:40 |
| happyfr0gg | I was trying to install 12.04.5 HWE (Trusty kernel/graphics) but ran into unmet dependencies. How do I resolve these unmet dependencies?? | 03:41 |
| Bashing-om | marcuspbaird: if you are fully updated, what returns from terminal command -> lsb_release -a <- ? | 03:41 |
| marcuspbaird | I installed it yesterday | 03:42 |
| marcuspbaird | so should it already be at the latest version | 03:42 |
| Bashing-om | marcuspbaird: Fresh install, run -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... should then have 14.01.1. | 03:43 |
| marcuspbaird | ok thanks | 03:44 |
| marcuspbaird | so sudo apt dist upgrade | 03:44 |
| rww | no. | 03:44 |
| marcuspbaird | I haven't used unity for a bit so just need to figure it out again | 03:46 |
| Bashing-om | marcuspbaird: Yeah but that command has nothing to do with a release upgrade .. just is apt-get's smart mode in package management. (will install the latest kernel) | 03:46 |
| marcuspbaird | ok nods | 03:46 |
| happyfr0gg | marcuspbaird - run those commands in the order that Bashing-om described. | 03:46 |
| marcuspbaird | am now | 03:46 |
| rocko2_ | how do I use virtual machines on ubuntu? | 03:46 |
| marcuspbaird | thanks | 03:47 |
| marcuspbaird | virtual box rocko | 03:47 |
| happyfr0gg | marcuspbaird - you're welcome. | 03:47 |
| marcuspbaird | should be in the software centure | 03:47 |
| marcuspbaird | center | 03:47 |
| rocko2_ | virtualbox doesn't work | 03:48 |
| marcuspbaird | it should work | 03:48 |
| marcuspbaird | what are u trying to install in it | 03:48 |
| rocko2_ | I will pastebin the error marcuspbaird | 03:48 |
| marcuspbaird | thats prob over my head | 03:49 |
| marcuspbaird | I norm find its just setting the distro to the wrong one | 03:49 |
| marcuspbaird | or trying to get a 64 bit on a 32 bit machine | 03:49 |
| happyfr0gg | rocko2 - try this link --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualMachines | 03:49 |
| Bashing-om | marcuspbaird: Not necessasarily be available in USC ,, see : http://lwn.net/Articles/563966/ . | 03:50 |
| marcuspbaird | ok thanks | 03:50 |
| marcuspbaird | I be off all the trolls see me | 03:50 |
| marcuspbaird | or | 03:50 |
| marcuspbaird | lol | 03:50 |
| happyfr0gg | I was trying to install 12.04.5 HWE (Trusty kernel/graphics) but ran into unmet dependencies. How do I resolve these unmet dependencies?? | 03:51 |
| marcuspbaird | not related but I bought Sid Meier’s Colonization. | 03:51 |
| marcuspbaird | a while back and noticed linux has it now will steam just port it over | 03:52 |
| teaearlgraycold | Is it a bad idea to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.1? Should I wipe the machine and do it fresh? | 03:57 |
| Bashing-om | happyfr0gg: Have you run update/upgrade, got the errors as the package manager sees them, maybe try and install the dependency(s). | 03:59 |
| happyfr0gg | teaearlgraycold - to answer both of your questions, no. | 04:00 |
| teaearlgraycold | happyfr0gg, I don't really have anywhere to upgrade the machine to - as it is my upgrade box atm | 04:01 |
| teaearlgraycold | sorry | 04:01 |
| Bashing-om | teaearlgraycold: If you revert the current install to as close to default as possible- disable any svreen saver - , update the system; should be no problem updating from 12.04 . | 04:01 |
| teaearlgraycold | I mean backup as it's my backup box | 04:01 |
| teaearlgraycold | Bashing-om, it's ubuntu server | 04:02 |
| teaearlgraycold | Could dependencies break for services? | 04:03 |
| happyfr0gg | Bashing-om - will upgrading my system via the terminal only upgrade the HWE or the entire system to 14.04+? | 04:03 |
| Ben64 | happyfr0gg: depends what you type | 04:04 |
| teaearlgraycold | Well I guess I'll just go yolo | 04:04 |
| rocko2_ | I think I am infected | 04:04 |
| rocko2_ | is there viruses for ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| teaearlgraycold | rocko2_, it's possible... | 04:04 |
| rww | ubottu: virus | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 04:05 |
| Ben64 | rocko2_: extremely unlikely. what makes you think you're infected? | 04:05 |
| Bashing-om | happyfr0gg: You can do either HWE update, or release upgrade to 14.04.1 . | 04:05 |
| Ozera|| | Does anyone know how to fix the Google Talk plugin crash for Chrome users on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 04:05 |

| iampoz | repos is not latest version | 04:13 |
| iampoz | to many bugs in the repos versions | 04:13 |

| Ozera|| | tonyt, I haven't upgraded. I really want to get Windows on this machine, but I ran into a problem with the windows installer. I am missing some media drivers, but it won't tell me which ones | 04:16 |
| Ozera|| | It's like i'm stuck with this fucking machine | 04:17 |
| tonyt | oh ok. i would assume the windows install image your using would contain the drivers you need | 04:17 |
| tonyt | hear ya . sucks | 04:18 |
| Ozera|| | Maybe its a bad windows iso? I'm not sure | 04:18 |
| Ozera|| | I tried updating my machine to see if it download said media drivers...but it only created more problems like this google-talk plugin crash | 04:19 |

| Beldar | anuvrat, Did you see my responses? | 05:09 |

| ryankrizan | Does anyone know how to get workspaces to work with Gnome-shell on Ubuntu 14.04? Gnome does not create new workspaces in the dock like it should. Only shows the 1 main workspace. | 05:10 |
| Beldar | anuvrat, And, might it help to answer? This should plug and play is all. | 05:10 |
| anuvrat | Beldar, I don't think I need to have the developer options on in order to have it get mounted as a media device ... do I? | 05:11 |
| Lost_x | Beldar: sir, we have this problem yesterday installing ubuntu14.04lts 64bit. the machine have a previous os windows7 32bit. the machine is uefi enabled 64bit. we can not see the alongside isntallation option of the installer. | 05:11 |
| anuvrat | Beldar, It works perfectly on another machine running ubuntu 13.10 | 05:11 |
| Beldar | anuvrat, Does not hurt to check, with oem installs one never knows. | 05:12 |
| Nimble | it should just work without developer options | 05:12 |
| Nimble | is your USB cable good? | 05:12 |
| Nimble | does your phone charge when it gets plugged in? | 05:12 |
| anuvrat | Nimble, yes and yes | 05:12 |
| Lost_x | Beldar: now that i use the disk management of windows to delete the volumes that we created yesterday and just make it into volume in ntfs format | 05:13 |
| Nimble | ah, mtp errors | 05:13 |
| Nimble | wonderful | 05:13 |
| anuvrat | Nimble, same cable same phone works on ubuntu 13.10 but does not on 14 | 05:13 |
| Lost_x | Beldar: now, the "install alongside windows" option of the installer appears | 05:13 |
| Nimble | I had a similar problem with my phone on 12.04 that got fixed in a later update | 05:13 |

| anuvrat | meganerd, Nimble, Beldar it says unable to open mtp device ... | 05:16 |
| Nimble | how bizarre | 05:17 |
| anuvrat | and nexus 5 is also not visible in lsusb | 05:17 |
| Nimble | it does that after plugging it in? | 05:17 |
| meganerd | anuvrat: can you run mtp-detect from the command line? | 05:17 |
| anuvrat | meganerd, https://dpaste.de/Xqyy | 05:18 |
| meganerd | anuvrat: that is all I have. Gotta get to bed. FWIW I got tired of the MTP dance when USB mass storage went away. I just use sftp or dropbox to get files onto my phone | 05:19 |
| meganerd | anuvrat: mtp and I have a long unhappy history | 05:19 |
| anuvrat | it tried to open nautilus but came down with the following error message dialogs https://dpaste.de/DUTW | 05:19 |
| gr33n7007h | sup! | 05:19 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, how's it going? | 05:20 |
| Nimble | anuvrat, as a workaround you might try using jmtpfs | 05:20 |

| Lost_x | ObrienDave: i deleted the volume that was created yesterday using the windows disk management utility | 05:22 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, ok, so where are we now with this install? | 05:22 |
| Lost_x | when i restarted to boot the ubuntu installer, there is this new option - Install ubuntu inside windows7 | 05:22 |
| Lost_x | back in windows | 05:23 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, inside??? | 05:23 |
| greylurk | Has anyone done an ext4->btrfs migration on their root partition? Is it worth it, or should I just backup /home, reformat and reinstall? | 05:23 |
| Lost_x | ObrienDave: are we going to start from zero? | 05:23 |
| Lost_x | i can reinstall windows again | 05:23 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, don't understand the "inside" | 05:24 |
| Lost_x | ang make new partitions | 05:24 |
| pdevine | apt-get dist-upgrade just blew chunks for me on the new linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic kernel | 05:25 |
| Lost_x | ObrienDave: when i chose that option it just reastrated back to windows | 05:25 |
| Lost_x | ObrienDave: maybe that will be the wubi type installation | 05:25 |
| pdevine | anyone else seeing a problem? | 05:25 |
| meganerd | greylurk: | 05:26 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I would do a clean install with btrfs on / | 05:26 |
| LostNva | are you installing linux into virtualbox in windows.....trying to understand, curious | 05:26 |
| Lost_x | i will reinstallt the window | 05:26 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, let's boot the DVD and see | 05:26 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, please, no wubi. lol | 05:27 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I am not sure if the conversion will do nifty things like having / and /home on different subvolumes (which allows independent snapshotting) | 05:27 |
| Lost_x | ok | 05:27 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, let me know when you get to the "where to install" | 05:27 |
| greylurk | Actually, I've got /home on a separate ext4 partition right now (backup would just be for double-safety) | 05:28 |
| greylurk | But I'll take your word that there might be other "nifty" things that the clean install would do. | 05:28 |
| meganerd | greylurk: it can be handy to have them on the same partition, but different subvolumes | 05:28 |
| Lost_x | ok dave | 05:28 |
| Lost_x | ObrienDave: we are using the 64bit installer of ubuntu | 05:29 |
| greylurk | I like having them on different partitions, just because it makes it relatively easy to switch linux distros if I want. | 05:29 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, yes | 05:29 |
| Lost_x | the machine is 64bit, the windows7 is 32bit, | 05:29 |
| greylurk | Even when I get a new ubuntu release, I just reformat root, mount /home in it's correct spot, and I've got a clean install. | 05:30 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, that's fine | 05:30 |
| meganerd | greylurk: that is fine, but no other distro uses btrfs this way, so if you really want btrfs on root then it is a non-portable solution anyway | 05:30 |
| meganerd | greylurk: it is doable but there are extra streps | 05:30 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I guess what I am saying is that just having / as btrfs is kind of pointless. | 05:31 |
| meganerd | greylurk: in that use case it is just a filesystem, though you do get per block checksumming. THe clean install makes things like apt-btrfs-snapshot work | 05:32 |
| meganerd | greylurk: if this is your only real machine, I would put Ubuntu in a VM with btrfs, and then play with the btrfs features there. | 05:33 |
| ObrienDave | Lost_x, please go straight into install. i want to do the partitions in the installer | 05:35 |
| santhosh | hai | 05:35 |
| Lost_x | ObrienDave: brb, boss is calling | 05:36 |
| ObrienDave | k | 05:37 |
| greylurk | meganerd: What does the @home subvolume buy you over having home on a separate partition? | 05:37 |
| meganerd | greylurk: apt-btrfs-snapshot | 05:37 |
| meganerd | greylurk: not having to partition out disk space in advance. You get all the space of the device and can dynamically change quotas | 05:38 |
| greylurk | meganerd: so just the ability to roll back installs? | 05:39 |
| meganerd | greylurk: your question is deceptively simple. btrfs has a lot going on under the hood. If you are not interested in any of the advanced features, then it doesn't matter, though I wonder why you would want to move to it. | 05:39 |
| greylurk | meganerd: i'm mostly interested in the copy-on-write features. I'm working quite a bit with lxc, and it seems like it's very useful for cloning containers. | 05:40 |
| meganerd | greylurk: the ubuntu install default is a good starting point IMHO. | 05:40 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I didn't think lxc and docker had stable support for btrfs yet? | 05:41 |
| greylurk | meganerd: lxc explicitly recommends using btrfs, I don't know about docker. | 05:41 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I use the per block checksumming and remote replication of snapshots mostly. | 05:41 |
| meganerd | greylurk: like I said, there is a lot going on under the hood. You can of course carry on, business as usual, but since my home directory has a lot to gain by being on top of btrfs, it makes sense to me to not partition out the device. | 05:43 |
| roasted | How often does Unity index new files on your system? | 05:44 |
| meganerd | greylurk: I am heading out now, it should not hurt to do the conversion, though I have not tested this recently. I do clean installs. Get familiar with the documentation on btrfs, chances are there are ways to leverage it's features that you have not thought of yet. | 05:46 |
| greylurk | meganerd: yeah, i was just looking at the deletion of subvolumes and how that might assist with another problem. | 05:47 |

| Megatron2000 | hi | 06:06 |
| Megatron2000 | so.. can you install ubuntu via bios online these days? | 06:06 |
| Beldar | Megatron2000, Does that translate to a net install? | 06:08 |
| Megatron2000 | idk, I suppose so \o/ | 06:09 |
| Beldar | !mini | Megatron2000 | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Megatron2000: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:09 |
| Megatron2000 | I just want to not have to burn a DVD or "burn" an image to a USB | 06:09 |
| Beldar | Megatron2000, If you have grub 2 you can boot the iso with it | 06:10 |
| Beldar | Megatron2000, One of your best tools is a live dvd/usb anyway | 06:11 |
| Megatron2000 | hmm okay. No netinstall via bios then I suppose? | 06:11 |
| Beldar | Megatron2000, If you can explain what that is it would help me. | 06:12 |
| Megatron2000 | some mobos has the ability to connect to an ip and install the OS from there, afaik | 06:15 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: you can PXE boot the mini installer, no USB or CD/DVD | 06:15 |
| Megatron2000 | :D | 06:15 |
| Megatron2000 | this is weird. I have both the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files in ~/.ssh. But I can't ssh to localhost "Permission denied (publickey).". Is something missing? | 06:15 |
| ts9i | Megatron2000: ssh-copy-id localhost | 06:16 |
| Megatron2000 | are there official ubuntu PXE servers? | 06:16 |
| Megatron2000 | ts9i: what does that do? | 06:16 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| ts9i | adds the key authorized_keys which is what you need | 06:16 |
| ts9i | *into | 06:17 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: nothing to do with the motherboard actually. PXE enabled network card, but you need to have infrastructure to support it (dhcp server that supports options) and a tftp server | 06:17 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: I have no idea what you mean by "are there official ubuntu PXE servers"? | 06:18 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: PXE is a link local technology, which means that the DHCP server has to be local, that is connected to the same switch (well technically broadcast domain) as the machine that you want to network boot. | 06:19 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: so the short answer is "not easily". | 06:19 |
| meganerd | Megatron2000: the less short answer is that it is doable (I in fact have this very setup in my house and in the office). You will need to do some research. | 06:20 |
| santhosh | <meganerd>using ltsp | 06:21 |
| Mekhami | hey i'm running ubuntu on a vm using virtualbox. can i access the files from there in my host os? i can't find 'em (at first glance) | 06:22 |
| santhosh | the concept belongs to ltsp | 06:22 |
| meganerd | santhosh: except if you don't want the other stuff that ltsp provides. It also likes to be on it's own broadcast domain | 06:22 |
| meganerd | santhosh: no it doesn't | 06:22 |
| santhosh | eacuse same local pxe and dhcp it is in ltsp | 06:22 |
| meganerd | santhosh: dhcp server and tftp are all you need | 06:23 |
| santhosh | <Mekhami>create nfs server | 06:23 |
| santhosh | yes | 06:23 |
| meganerd | santhosh: ltsp does a whole lot more. If you just want to install (or have utilities like systemrescuecd, lenovo bios update ISOs, spinrite, etc) then ltsp is not what you want. | 06:25 |
| meganerd | g'night all | 06:27 |

| happyfr0gg | Could somebody help me to figure out the meaning of this??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7853052/ | 06:40 |
| ADW | Anyone here familiar with FreeNAS? | 06:40 |
| ObrienDave | happyfr0gg, sudo apt-get install -f | 06:42 |
| ObrienDave | tells you at the bottom what it means | 06:42 |
| DanaG | adw:I've used it, but they do have their own channel. | 06:42 |
| DanaG | Trying to mount NFS or something from Linux? | 06:42 |
| ADW | yes, how did you know? lol | 06:43 |
| ADW | is it #freenas | 06:43 |
| DanaG | adw:Yup. I'm using NFS mounted from it; the biggest trick is that the paths are absolute. /mnt/somepool/dir1/dir2/... | 06:44 |
| ADW | okay, got it. I just set up the nas this evening. Have you had good stability with yours? | 06:45 |
| DanaG | I've been experimenting with mine a lot lately, so I can't judge too well. Plus, I'm running it inside Ubuntu via VT-d, which is rather an edge (and non-advised) use case. | 06:45 |
| ADW | Fair enough. The more I'm reading on it, the more im impressed that this is open-source software | 06:47 |
| ADW | 10 years ago this type device was reserved for datacenters haha | 06:48 |
| DanaG | If you're considering buying hardware, note that ECC memory is _highly_ advised. (Might still be good to move to #freenas) | 06:48 |
| happyfr0gg | ObrienDave - I typed into the terminal 'hwe-support-status --verbose'. It gave me the unmet dependencies error. I typed in what you suggested and then typed in 'hwe-support-status --verbose' again and I encounter the same problem. | 06:48 |
| ADW | alright, noted. I ordered two 1tb WD "red" drives, apparently they are better designed for this type use. Only specific motherboards take ecc ram, right? Like server and workstation boards? | 06:50 |

| === magic_ is now known as magic | ||
| === icecube45 is now known as icecube45[Away] | ||
| happyfr0gg | ObrienDave - that is what I am trying to figure out. I can't make sense of which packages are broken and what dependencies need resolving. | 06:51 |
| Beldar | meldron, The closer to a stock setup the more likely you will succeed. Have you added additional repos and apps/packages? | 06:51 |
| meldron | Beldar: yes i did | 06:52 |
| meldron | Beldar: i thought release upgrade disables all additional ppas | 06:52 |
| Beldar | meldron, Probably the issue, you can do a ppa-purge | 06:52 |
| Beldar | meldron, Yes but not the installed packages | 06:52 |
| EzioNix | Hi guys! | 06:53 |
| meldron | Beldar: ah okay | 06:53 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | meldron | 06:53 |
| ObrienDave | happyfr0gg, sorry, just a bit beyond my knowledge | 06:53 |
| ubottu | meldron: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 06:53 |
| meldron | Beldar: may be it's time the create a bootable device | 06:53 |
| Beldar | meldron, You should always have one really, not sure your reasoning in it's use however. | 06:54 |
| Faryshta | Hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04 on a tablet but I can't get it to boot | 06:54 |
| DanaG | Yeah, PPA-induced breakage may require using Aptitude. It can show you all the dependencies, then let you downgrade stuff to satisfy the dependencies. It takes some getting used to the interface, though. | 06:54 |
| EzioNix | anyone here install Hackintosh on HP 14 Chromebook? | 06:55 |
| meldron | Beldar: i'm afraid it will be bricked after i do a reboot | 06:55 |
| Beldar | DanaG, Are you aware of ppa-purge? | 06:55 |
| meldron | so purge, then? upgrade again? apt-get -f install? | 06:55 |
| DanaG | Yup, I've used it, but sometimes I still need aptitude. | 06:55 |
| ObrienDave | EzioNix, hackintosh is not supported here | 06:55 |
| Faryshta | How can i install ubuntu 14.04 on an acer aspire p3 tablet? | 06:55 |
| Beldar | meldron, Look at the link I had the bot give you on ppa-purge | 06:56 |
| makara | hi. Every second time I start 14.04 Desktop the pointer stutters via mouse but not the trackpad | 06:56 |
| meldron | Beldar: i mean to complete my release upddate | 06:56 |
| EzioNix | anyone here install Hackintosh on HP 14 Chromebook | 06:56 |
| happyfr0gg | ObrienDave - no problem. I will just make notes and then come back later with a fresh brain. I am fried right now after reading so many pages online. | 06:56 |
| ObrienDave | happyfr0gg, understood and good luck | 06:57 |
| Beldar | meldron, without knowing exactly what that means can't really help, and maybe even kow still not helpful. | 06:57 |
| happyfr0gg | Thanks. | 06:57 |
| Beldar | knowing* | 06:57 |
| meldron | 13.10 -> 14.04 | 06:57 |
| ObrienDave | EzioNix, hackintosh is NOT supported here | 06:58 |
| Beldar | meldron, You are describing what sounds like a broken upgrade right? | 06:58 |
| DanaG | EzioNix: you probably want other IRC networks entirely, actually. Most aren't even on Freenode. | 07:00 |
| Faryshta | has anyone here been able to install ubuntu on an acer aspire p3 tablet? | 07:00 |
| EzioNix | so its a crime to talk about it even | 07:01 |

| tiblock | Hi. Why my friend see this on website? http://puu.sh/aqdFA/d5e14cd552.jpg but really http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/ Is that kinda bug on website? He installed x64 on 2gb ram because there is no x86 ubuntu -_- | 07:05 |
| Faryshta | Beldar, burned iso image with unetbootin, got an "error 8001 reading section" while booting | 07:06 |
| Faryshta | i googled and found this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/unable-creating-a-booting-usb-stick-4175419998/ which i followed and now i don't get it to boot | 07:06 |
| Beldar | tiblock, 32bit server http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ | 07:07 |
| Beldar | Faryshta, The channel no me in particular, the "has anybody" is just not relevant is all. | 07:07 |
| tiblock | Beldar, yes, but website says "64-bit only" http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 07:07 |
| tiblock | Beldar, he says there is no x86 ubuntu | 07:08 |
| Beldar | tiblock, My link is an official canonical link. | 07:08 |
| Faryshta | Beldar, so can you help me? | 07:08 |
| tiblock | Beldar, mine too | 07:08 |
| Beldar | Faryshta, If I could I would be doing so, and I have helped you in letting you know what the channel needs to help you. | 07:09 |
| DanaG | I've never found unetbootin very reliable. More reliable on Windows is "LiLi USB Creator". | 07:09 |
| Faryshta | Beldar, well then let me keep asking | 07:09 |
| DanaG | I'm not sure if there's an official one, but that one works. | 07:09 |
| Beldar | not me is all Faryshta | 07:09 |
| Faryshta | has anyone here been able to install ubuntu on an acer aspire p3 tablet? | 07:09 |
| tiblock | Beldar, go to ubuntu.com click Download->server and see "64-bit only" | 07:10 |
| Beldar | Faryshta, THat is not how the channel works bro. | 07:10 |
| meldron | Beldar: yes | 07:11 |
| Beldar | tiblock, I cannot make it any clearer the link is a canonical link use it or not. ;) | 07:11 |
| meldron | Beldar: Processing was halted because there were too many errors. while i did do-release-upgrade | 07:11 |
| tiblock | Beldar, i think we didnt understand each other. My question is "why website says there is no 32 bit version of ubuntu?" | 07:12 |
| Beldar | tiblockI understand you clearly. | 07:12 |

| ObrienDave | that is the i386 server | 07:12 |
| Beldar | tiblock, This is support, there is a 32 bit, we are not here to dissect website info. | 07:13 |
| tiblock | ObrienDave, yes, thank you. But why http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server says "64-bit only". New users (like my friend) thinks that 32 bit ubuntu is not exists. | 07:13 |
| ObrienDave | tiblock, i would not know why | 07:13 |
| tiblock | ObrienDave, Beldar, okay, i will find somebody who deals with website. Thank you. | 07:14 |

| Beldar | meldron, Most likely to get help, you will need that failure errors in detail. | 07:14 |
| meldron | Beldar: there were no other error messages | 07:14 |
| ptman | now that 14.04.1 is out, shouldn't do-release-upgrade work on precise? | 07:15 |

| ptman | tiblock, yes, that's my experience as well | 07:19 |
| Tarius | I need migrate one disk content to another. Source HDD contains many hardlinks and I Need this copy to destination disc. | 07:19 |
| ptman | tiblock, I'm wondering why | 07:19 |
| ptman | tiblock, I've seen many times, that do-release-upgrade won't work until 14.04.1 is out | 07:19 |
| ptman | tiblock, well, now it is, so what is still missing? | 07:19 |
| tiblock | ptman, in case you find answer, tell me too. | 07:20 |

| Tarius | command cp -a src/* dst work and copy data with hardlinks correctly bud I try this on single disc. Work this command betwen two HDDs and make correct hardlinks on destination HDD ? | 07:20 |
| tiblock | geirha, yuor url says i need to register. Man ubuntu's website sux. | 07:21 |
| geirha | tiblock: register to see the fridge? odd | 07:21 |
| ptman | geirha, thank you, but that doesn't really improve that much over what we can observe right now: 1) it doesn't work, 2) probably canonical will fix it at some point in the future | 07:21 |
| tiblock | geirha, and also ubuntu's website says x86 not exists http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 07:22 |
| ptman | tiblock, I didn't have to | 07:22 |
| geirha | ptman: Give it a day, it'll come around. That's what I interpret from it | 07:22 |
| ptman | tiblock, I believe very few server operating system vendors support 32bit x86 anymore | 07:22 |

| Beldar | ObrienDave, That would not allow complaining. ;) | 07:25 |
| tiblock | ptman, well let me chose what hardware i have, not ubuntu.com. He dont know where and on what hardware i will install it. I think they need test x64 so they lie "WE HAVE ONLY x64, GET IT" | 07:25 |
| ObrienDave | Beldar, i guess so, dang | 07:25 |
| ObrienDave | tiblock, give it a rest, we gave you the links | 07:25 |

| ObrienDave | for sure, | 07:27 |
| ObrienDave | at least my link quieted down the nay-sayers ;P | 07:28 |
| tiblock | ObrienDave, i not searching download link, i asking why website lying. Its like you bought candy for 1$ and tell your friend its good. He go and buy it but pays 10$ and you go to shop, and sellers tell to everybody its 10$. And you say "but it really 1$" and he tells "go get it for 1$, sheesh. I will sell it for you for 1$ now go away" | 07:28 |
| ObrienDave | tiblock, OMG give it a rest | 07:29 |

| krejsi | Hi, how do I partition automaticly with kickstart so /boot is on the first partition and the rest is LVM? | 07:30 |
| geirha | When the time comes to drop 32-bit support completely, upgrading a 32-bit install to a 64-bit install will be hard. Best not encourage anyone to get the 32-bit server | 07:31 |
| Beldar | geirha, No encouragement just stating it is available, and that is an opinion. | 07:32 |
| Beldar | based on no evidence of dropped support | 07:32 |
| geirha | I'm just guessing at the reasoning. It makes sense to me to not display the 32-bit version. | 07:34 |

| Etale | Hi all. I just a brand new laptop, and I'm trying to get Ubuntu to dual boot with Windows 8. I burned 14.04 LTS to a DVD. The problem is now that I reboot into it, | 07:50 |
| Etale | after clicking on the "install ubuntu", it gets stuck on the "ubuntu" logo... | 07:50 |
| ObrienDave | etale, reboot DVD and see if you can check disk integrity, sounds like a bad burn to DVD | 07:51 |
| Beldar | Etale, Couple things, have you made a unallocated space using the W8 disk manager and are you using the uefi wiki? | 07:51 |
| krejsi | How do I create a preseed script?' | 07:52 |
| Etale | ObrienDave, I checked integrity... | 07:52 |
| Beldar | and checking the burn, and imaging windows for safety Etale | 07:52 |
| Etale | Beldar, what are all these things? | 07:53 |
| Beldar | !uefi | Etale | 07:53 |
| ubottu | Etale: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 07:53 |
| Beldar | Etale, Windows has a partitioner, you need to make a unallocated space for the ubuntu install with it. | 07:53 |
| Etale | I thought that I can deal with the partitions during the installation, no? | 07:54 |
| Beldar | Etale, Chances are no, and not a good idea anytime really. | 07:54 |
| malibuyan | slm | 07:55 |
| Beldar | Etale, another valuable link. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 07:55 |
| Etale | Okay, I'll take some time now to read through these things | 07:56 |
| blahbr | hi | 07:57 |
| Beldar | Etale, Imaging W8 to an external will save your booty if something goes wrong, and making a recovery disc in windows if you are without one or an install is good insurance as well. | 07:57 |
| Beldar | install disc* | 07:57 |

| pdevine | I just discovered something fun out about the Ubuntu Cloud Image | 08:07 |
| pdevine | it uses a single ext4 partition for the entire disk | 08:08 |
| mekhami | hey i have a CRITICAL error | 08:08 |
| pdevine | and the disk is formatted MBR instead of GPT | 08:08 |
| mekhami | i just installed ubuntu | 08:08 |
| mekhami | and i'm using a zowie celeritas keyboard | 08:08 |
| mekhami | and my ctrl/alt/shift keys are not working as modifiers | 08:08 |
| trijntje | mekhami: how do you know? | 08:10 |
| mekhami | because i can't shift-anything, ctrl-anything, or alt-anything | 08:10 |
| mekhami | what the fuck kind of question is that | 08:10 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: have you tried a different keyboard ? | 08:10 |
| trijntje | mekhami: be specific, which shortcuts have you tried in which programs? | 08:10 |
| mekhami | all of them | 08:10 |
| volkan | brontosaurusrex, There is an error icon on the toolbar. "Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f" | 08:10 |
| mekhami | and i don't have a different computer | 08:11 |
| mekhami | err, different keyboard | 08:11 |
| DJones | Oscar119/w 21 | 08:11 |
| DJones | Grr | 08:11 |
| ObrienDave | volkan, sudo apt-get install -f | 08:11 |
| mekhami | i mean from start to finish i cannot use shift ctrl or alt as modifiers for keys on my keyboard ever for anything | 08:11 |
| trijntje | mekhami: thats not being specific, give examples please. Shortcut and program | 08:11 |
| mekhami | here's the example | 08:11 |
| mekhami | in case you weren't listening | 08:11 |
| mekhami | EVERYTHING | 08:12 |
| mekhami | there ya go | 08:12 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: does ctrl-alt-f2 work ? | 08:12 |
| blaaa | I am using aa-logprof to generate an apparmor profile, I get warnings about a service connecting to a postgres socket, but aa-logprof does not generate a profile for that... | 08:12 |
| volkan | ObrienDave, http://pastie.org/9419571 | 08:12 |
| mekhami | no what's it supposed to do | 08:12 |
| mekhami | using alt by itself brings up | 08:12 |
| trijntje | fine, figure it out for yourself if you don't want help | 08:12 |
| mekhami | 'type your command' | 08:12 |
| mekhami | so when i do ctrl-alt-f2 | 08:12 |
| mekhami | it does the same thing | 08:12 |
| SirLagz | ok...so ctrl isn't working then I guess | 08:12 |
| mekhami | neither is alt or sh ift... | 08:12 |
| yogesh | #vlead | 08:13 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: is this a laptop ? desktop ? | 08:13 |
| mekhami | and trijntje try being helpful and i'll accept help, you asked some really useless vague ambiguous questions. waste someone else's time | 08:13 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: desktop | 08:13 |
| svetlana | where do I view the file with the DE options in the lightdm menu please? | 08:13 |
| trijntje | mekhami: so at least the alt key isn't broken, thats why I asked you multiple times to be specific | 08:13 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: if you open a terminal, and hit CTRL-D, does the terminal close ? | 08:13 |
| mekhami | trijntje: none of the keys are 'broken' they worked 20 minutes ago on windows. | 08:13 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: idk how to open terminal without ctrl-alt-t | 08:14 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: i am unfamiliar with the basic ui here, i used gnome kde before and it's different | 08:14 |
| Fuchs | svetlana: depending on version: either /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d or /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d | 08:14 |
| SirLagz | do the same thing that brought up the "type your command" window, then type in terminal | 08:14 |
| svetlana | ok Fuchs | 08:15 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: are you using unity ? | 08:15 |
| trijntje | mekhami: hit the windwos key, then type terminal | 08:15 |
| ObrienDave | volkan, sounds like a bad d/l | 08:15 |
| mekhami | no, ctrl-d does not close the terminal | 08:15 |
| mekhami | i just type the letter 'd' | 08:15 |
| mekhami | cause as i said before | 08:15 |
| mekhami | the ctrl and shift and alt keys are not working as modifiers | 08:15 |
| volkan | ObrienDave, what should I do? | 08:15 |
| SirLagz | right. just checking to see if it was a specific application. | 08:15 |
| mekhami | i said it was with everything. i meant everything. | 08:16 |
| ObrienDave | volkan, i'm not really sure, sorry | 08:16 |
| volkan | ObrienDave, ok, thanks | 08:17 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: never know with some people... | 08:17 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: sure. now you know, i'm not crazy. | 08:17 |

| ObrienDave | mekhami, have you accidentally changed keyboard layouts? | 08:17 |
| mekhami | no. | 08:18 |
| mekhami | it has something to do with the zowie celeritas keyboard | 08:18 |
| mekhami | it does not supported by the linux kernel i thnk | 08:18 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: open a terminal, run xev, and see if pressing the modifiers brings anything up in the terminal | 08:18 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: yes, it does, but it releases immediately | 08:19 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: that's not a problem. as long as it registers. | 08:19 |
| ObrienDave | mekhami, has it ever worked properly on anything? | 08:19 |
| mekhami | ObrienDave: on windows 20 minutes ago. | 08:19 |
| ObrienDave | k | 08:20 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: what keycode is coming up ? | 08:20 |
| volkan | ObrienDave, This worked: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2068352 | 08:20 |
| mekhami | ctrl - 37 | 08:20 |
| trijntje | mekhami: i've done some googling, looks like its a known bug with the keyboards that the company has no intention on fixing | 08:21 |
| mekhami | trijntje: is there no fix for me on my side | 08:21 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: shift - 50 | 08:21 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: well since the keyboard is working and is registering keycodes properly, there's probably something you can do... | 08:21 |
| mekhami | SirLagz: alt - 64 | 08:21 |
| ObrienDave | volkan, glad you have it sorted out | 08:22 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: sounds about right | 08:22 |

| DanaG | hmm, the only case I've seen ALL modifier keys break was when I switched focus out of vmware, and I dared to have touched my keyboard settings. | 08:22 |
| SirLagz | bcvery: cool | 08:23 |
| trijntje | mekhami: here someone says they fixed it by using 'usbkbd' drivers, not sure what those are though. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/28536 | 08:23 |
| mekhami | bcvery: not really 'solved' as it says i have to use physical adapters which i don't own | 08:23 |
| DanaG | Set "right alt is altgr" or set "unicode keypad"... oops, now vmware can't comprehend the keyboard settings, and thus decides to wipe out all the modifiers. | 08:23 |
| DanaG | Thaaaaanks, vmware. | 08:23 |
| DanaG | How about I go to your office and pry all the modifer keys off your keyboards? | 08:23 |

| SirLagz | mekhami: back to the xev stuff, what happens if you do something like "ctrl-t" ? | 08:25 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: do the codes come up in the order of you pressing ctrl-t ? | 08:25 |
| mekhami | sirlagz let me try to explain what happens cause i'm not entirely sure myself | 08:26 |
| SirLagz | mekhami: feel free to pastebin the output if you want | 08:27 |
| mekhami | when i press ctrl i get keypress and keyrelease instantly | 08:27 |

| coreder_ | should I change where it starts in vidalia? | 09:39 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I am not sure. How do I check? | 09:40 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, just type "groups" at the command line | 09:40 |

| Pando | aptitude only get 404 Not Found errors | 09:42 |
| Pando | and going on http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/blt/download, every single mirror seems to 404 too | 09:43 |
| llutz_ | Pando: isn't 13.04 EOL now? | 09:43 |
| Pando | is there something weird going on with this package ? | 09:43 |
| llutz_ | !eol | Pando | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Pando: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 09:43 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: is there anything I can do? | 09:44 |
| cynicallemon | llutz_, the user should still be a member of the tor group | 09:44 |
| llutz_ | cynicallemon: why? | 09:44 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I can run tor from the terminal, but my ISP blocks access to it. | 09:44 |
| === god__ is now known as Guest52406 | ||
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I need vidalia to add the bridges | 09:45 |
| Pando | well, it would be a shame to have to upgrade the entire os for one package, but, well | 09:45 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: if you can help me add the bridges from the commandline, that's fine. | 09:45 |
| llutz_ | cynicallemon: oh its a vidalia thing, sry you're right | 09:47 |
| cynicallemon | llutz_, i know :) | 09:48 |
| FarLight | I made a ttf and am trying to install it | 09:48 |
| FarLight | it opens okay in the font-viewer but when I click install it says install failed | 09:48 |
| FarLight | is there any place I can check for logged errors? | 09:48 |
| === llutz_ is now known as llutz | ||
| FarLight | or get it to output some kind of error? | 09:48 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: how do I add myself in debian-tor? | 09:49 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, depends what group runs the vidalia process on ubuntu, you could try debian-tor | 09:50 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: useradd -G debian-tor coreder | 09:50 |
| coreder_ | useradd: user 'coreder' already exists | 09:50 |
| cynicallemon | useradd -a -G debian-tor coreder | 09:50 |
| yecril71pl | How do I create a multipart zip? | 09:50 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: useradd: invalid option -- 'a' | 09:51 |
| cynicallemon | usermod -a -G debian-tor coreder | 09:52 |
| wlxead | lala | 09:52 |
| wlxead | ? | 09:52 |
| jelly-home | yecril71pl: zip command manual refers to a separate zipsplit utility | 09:53 |
| wlxead | 神兽！ | 09:53 |

| ubottu | wlxead: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 09:53 |
| cfhowlett | !kylin | wlxead | 09:54 |
| ubottu | wlxead: Ubuntu Kylin is a variant of Ubuntu that focuses on Chinese users. It is a formal part of Ubuntu. For more information, see http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/ubuntukylin | 09:54 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I still don't get anything in groups |grep *tor | 09:54 |
| yecril71pl | I cannot create the zip in the first place | 09:54 |
| yecril71pl | The archive manager says it has encountered an unidentified problem | 09:54 |
| * cfhowlett thinks the Ubuntu Kylin factioid should be written in Mandarin like !cn | 09:54 | |
| yecril71pl | So the path to create the zip and then split it does not really work | 09:54 |
| meldron | hi guys, how can i configure that my monitor is turned off if the screen is locked (14.04, it worked in 13.10) | 09:55 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, if the usermod command did not error then it added you to the debian-tor group, you will have to logout and login again for it to take effect | 09:55 |
| blackyboy | Audio not working in ubuntu 14.04, before its worked fine . | 09:55 |
| jelly-home | yecril71pl: is among the files you're trying to archive one equal or larger than 2GiB? | 09:55 |
| jethar | What is difference between 14.04.1 and 14.04 besides security update. If I install 14.04 with "get updates" at install do I get same thing as 14.04.1 | 09:56 |
| cynicallemon | jethar - basically yes | 09:56 |
| yecril71pl | No, but du says over 5 GiB. | 09:56 |
| cfhowlett | jethar not quite. apt-get dist-upgrades will make your system equivalent to 14.04.1 | 09:57 |
| yecril71pl | Well, I am not sure actually | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | ... assuming you currently have 14.04 installed | 09:57 |
| cynicallemon | lol | 09:57 |
| jethar | cfhowlett: in terms of installed software and others libraries would it make a difference except for version change. | 09:58 |
| k1l | jethar: think of it as service packs on windows. if you run the updates you are on the same pace. but its easier not to load all updates if you do a fresh install | 09:58 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I logged out and logged in. I'm now part of debian-tor, but vidalia returns the same error | 09:58 |
| k1l | jethar: you need "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get all updates. it doesnt make you from 13.10 to 14.04. | 09:59 |
| jethar | k1l: and cynicallemon: thanks. | 09:59 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, is the start tor unchecked still, and use tcp connection selected still? | 10:00 |
| yecril71pl | Is Question #252160 | 10:01 |
| jethar | k1l: just one more point. In case of move from 13.30 to 14.04 ppa repositories would change,. But for 14.04 to 14.04.1 they would remain same. Wouldn't they | 10:01 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: start tor still unchecked, Use TCP connection checked. | 10:01 |
| cfhowlett | jethar correct | 10:01 |
| k1l | jethar: its only "trusty" technical | 10:01 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, and path is /usr/bin/tor? | 10:02 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: it's /usr/sbin/tor | 10:03 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, sorry thats what i meant | 10:03 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: yes. | 10:03 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, in advanced section what is the settings for "tor config file" and "data directory"? | 10:04 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: /home/coreder/.vidalia/torrc the file is empty | 10:06 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, yeah i think that file is usually empty unless you add some customizations | 10:07 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: is it possible to add bridges to tor without vidalia? | 10:09 |
| coreder_ | I need vidalia just to add the bridges | 10:09 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: tor starts fine, it's just vidalia that doesn't. | 10:10 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, make sure the tcp connection has ip address of 127.0.0.1 and port of 9051 - i also my authentication password randomly generated too | 10:10 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: TCP connection has the same config, and password is already set to random | 10:11 |
| cynicallemon | ok | 10:11 |
| cynicallemon | i also specified my data directory as /home/<user>/.tor - think it was /tmp by default | 10:12 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: the data dir is empty. | 10:13 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: should I specify it as you said? | 10:13 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, yeah, it won't hurt | 10:14 |
| jhpy1024 | Hey guys, I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 64bit and scrolling in the terminal is choppy and slow | 10:14 |
| jhpy1024 | But scrolling seems fine everywhere else | 10:14 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: Fine. I just did that. | 10:14 |
| jhpy1024 | This happens in both xfce4's terminal and gnome-terminal | 10:14 |
| jhpy1024 | (by slow scrolling I mean slow scrolling in vim) | 10:15 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, all i can now suggest is just to reboot maybe, to freshen the system and see if it works - else im out of suggestions | 10:15 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: thanks for all the help. I know this problem is weird. I guess I should post in the forums! | 10:16 |
| jhpy1024 | I'm pretty sure it's not Vim because I've ran Vim with the default config ("vim -u NONE") and the slow scrolling is still there | 10:16 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, vidalia is a pain on debian based systems | 10:17 |
| cynicallemon | coreder_, did you install vidalia from ubuntu repos? | 10:18 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: yes. I did apt-get install vidalia | 10:18 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: I'm on lubuntu, if that helps. | 10:18 |
| coreder_ | cynicallemon: any idea under what category I can post in Ubuntu forums? | 10:19 |

| halvor | TJ-: linux-headers-3.16.0-031600rc6-generic_3.16.0-031600rc6.201407210035_amd64.deb, linux-headers-3.16.0-031600rc6_3.16.0-031600rc6.201407210035_all.deb, linux-image-3.16.0-031600rc6-generic_3.16.0-031600rc6.201407210035_amd64.deb | 11:32 |

| TJ- | halvor: Yes | 11:33 |
| halvor | TJ-: i go with the generic | 11:33 |
| TJ- | paulo_: That is because all the binary packages are built from the same source package (source isn't versioned) | 11:34 |
| Somaya | anyone can help me? | 11:34 |
| paulo_ | TJ-: I don't get what you mean. so *-24 is the same as *-35? | 11:34 |
| TJ- | paulo_: If you want the exact source you'll need to use the kernel git repositories | 11:35 |
| karab44 | after I done apt-get update apt-get upgrade much different packages has been updated than these shown in update manager... Why is that? | 11:35 |
| Somaya | TJ , can you help me? | 11:36 |
| TJ- | paulo_: No. binary versioned packages are built using source-code from the source package. A source package contains the latest patches at all times. | 11:36 |

| reversiblean | When and how new kernel updates are released on Ubuntu? Why trusty still use an old kernel instead of the latest stable linux kernel? | 12:51 |
| MonkeyDust | !latest | reversiblean here's why | 12:51 |
| ubottu | reversiblean here's why: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | !sru | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 12:51 |
| reversiblean | OK I will check it out. | 12:52 |
| reversiblean | But what if the new kernel fix issues I was having. | 12:54 |
| cfhowlett | reversiblean compile and install from source. | 12:54 |
| reversiblean | I had already tested 3.14 trusty kernel and it fixed the problem. But I'm not sure if that kernel is compatible with the rest of the system and apps. | 12:56 |

| Pici | Nikkolo: The first argument to tar -cfz is the location of the tar file you want to create. You can put any valid path in there. | 13:23 |
| adminewb | why, because I don't like to be gobsmacked randomly by something installed on my system I wasn't even aware of | 13:23 |
| Nikkolo | oh i alyway did tar -czf name.tar, this make the tar in the current path im right? but if i do /custom2/name.tar it will create the tar T custom2 with name nMe.tar? | 13:25 |

| jeffreylevesque | 'Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible' | 13:36 |
| nith1210 | nvidia: The easiest way I know of to do that would be to install the ppa, install the driver, then disable the ppa. | 13:36 |
| jeffreylevesque | wrong channel | 13:36 |
| jeffreylevesque | sorry | 13:36 |
| trijntje | nvidia: just go to the ppa, download the deb manually and install it | 13:37 |
| nvidia | yaaay | 13:37 |
| Corey84 | or sudo apt-get install nvidia-340-updates nvidia | 13:37 |
| nith1210 | nvidia: If you download the deb's manually, you had better get all of the dependency's. | 13:37 |
| niko | /28/90 | 13:38 |
| nvidia | Corey84: ther aren't such a package | 13:38 |
| trijntje | nvidia: you still shouldn't do that though, one of the reasons linux is more secure then windows is that you get automatic updates for all software | 13:38 |
| nvidia | but I can't stick with version 304 when 430 is out, that's madness :O | 13:38 |
| nvidia | especially when we're talking graphics drivers | 13:39 |
| nith1210 | nvidia: actually it makes sense if you're after stability. | 13:39 |
| Corey84 | apt-cache search nvidia-* then and find the latest you can use and install it nvidia keep in mind not always best to use bleeding edge drivers too early | 13:39 |
| Corey84 | no kernel or wifi geeks in house i guess | 13:39 |
| iem | So is there a magic command for reinstalling unity and all it's dependancies? | 13:40 |
| Corey84 | try 331 nvidia | 13:40 |
| Corey84 | that IS in the repos | 13:40 |
| nvidia | Corey84: I suppose. thanks | 13:40 |
| === KindOne_ is now known as KindOne | ||
| Corey84 | or 337 | 13:40 |
| Corey84 | and you mean 340 right not 430 | 13:41 |
| trijntje | iem: what are you trying to do? | 13:41 |
| nith1210 | iem: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity | 13:41 |
| Corey84 | ^^ | 13:41 |
| nvidia | Corey84: is 337 isn't in the repo? :P (340, yeah) | 13:41 |
| trijntje | nith1210: does that also reinstall all dependencies? | 13:41 |
| Corey84 | then 331 for sure then | 13:42 |
| nith1210 | trijntje: it won't reinstall dependencies, but if something's broken it'll pull them down. | 13:42 |
| nith1210 | trijntje: sorry, by broken, I mean missing | 13:42 |
| Corey84 | or not fully installed/removed too | 13:43 |
| nith1210 | Corey84: Not that I'll have the answer, but what was your question? I think I joined after it. | 13:43 |
| fredde | Hello ! I got a little bit of a boot problem. I run win xp and installed first Mint 17 but then I wanted to try Ubuntu. So I am tripple booting and it works fine, but I don't have use for Mint so I want to uninstall it. How do I proceed ? | 13:43 |
| nvidia | Corey84: 331-updates, any reason not to take that one instead of just 331 (without updates)? | 13:44 |
| adminewb | fredde, what is your boot loader? | 13:44 |
| fredde | grub | 13:44 |
| iem | Cool nith1210, super cool | 13:44 |
| iem | :)! | 13:44 |
| Corey84 | having issues gettign b43 to stick across reboots in 3.14+ kernels having to modprobe EVERY BOOT | 13:44 |
| iem | trijntje: reinsatll unity | 13:45 |
| trijntje | iem: but why? What problem do you have, and why do you thing reinstalling will fix it? | 13:45 |
| adminewb | fredde, for grub, seems you should be able to just remove its boot entries from grub's config, and then decommission all the disk partitions that are dedicated to Mint; make sense? | 13:46 |
| Corey84 | fredde, find me in #linuxmint-help (same nick) thats easy and more mint related | 13:46 |
| trijntje | adminewb: won't grub break? The grub files are on /boot on the mint partition, so if you remove those the pc won't be able to boot ubuntu | 13:46 |
| nith1210 | Corey84: Sorry, they only thing I know if is if you have it blacklisted by accident in /etc/modprobe.d | 13:47 |
| fredde | W | 13:47 |
| adminewb | fredde, understood, maybe Corey84 has a more comprehensive answer | 13:47 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | After upgrading to 14.04 I can no longer login. I get invalid login error. | 13:48 |
| fredde | yepp thanx anyway =) | 13:48 |
| Corey84 | System: Host linux-devbox Kernel 3.16.0-031600rc6-lowlatency x86_64 (64 bit gcc 4.6.3) | 13:48 |
| Corey84 | Desktop Xfce 4.11.6 (Gtk 2.24.23) dm mdm Distro Linux Mint 17 Qiana | 13:48 |
| Corey84 | fredde, see you over on spotchat | 13:48 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: what is the exact error you get? Sounds like you forgot your password | 13:49 |
| MonkeyDust | guest-2XjFwJ try this: ctrl-alt F1 > enter password > sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser | 13:49 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, and MonkeyDust I didn't forget my password and I cannot login in via tty or ssh. | 13:49 |
| Corey84 | its fine on 3.14 and no explicit changes unless its in the buildlog and i missed will check tho | 13:50 |
| DerekKeyPL | Hi all. I'm new here, so hello :) | 13:50 |
| shoerain | Can I run something like `sudo service nginx log` (assuming nginx is an upstart service) to start tailing the log for upstart? Would be convenient over `tail -F /var/log/upstart/nginx.log` -- this is on ubuntu 12.04 | 13:50 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: if you login via tty, don't use any capitals in your username | 13:50 |
| MonkeyDust | guest-2XjFwJ then make sure your caps lock is not switched on | 13:50 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje was faster :) | 13:51 |
| nvidia | cuda c++ is supported in just two nvidia-driver versions newer than the one that ubuntu provides D: .. or has anyone else used cuda c++ with the drivers from ubuntu's repo? | 13:51 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, MonkeyDust I do not have caps lock enable and the exact error is login invalid. | 13:51 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | I can log into my VPN which has the same password, so I know that my password is fine. trijntje MonkeyDust | 13:52 |
| nvidia | wait.. that's one version more even. 332 supports cuda, 331 is the one ubuntu supports :( | 13:53 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | MonkeyDust, how would I chown using chroot and live disk? | 13:53 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | user id | 13:54 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | uid:gid maybe? | 13:55 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | and then I don't need chroot right? | 13:55 |
| iem | trijntje: Errr after tring to install the lowlatacy kernel the desktop got hosed, so I guess I was just hoping to get some sort of desktop back some how | 13:55 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: thats weird, I get another error when I try to login with the worng password | 13:56 |
| Corey84 | nvidia, its updated as 331 is a snapshot IIRC | 13:56 |
| nith1210 | nvidia: have you tried the nvidia-cuda-dev package? | 13:56 |
| loa | how i can open samba folders in nautilus? | 13:56 |
| Corey84 | nith1210, no dice in /etc/modprobe.d | 13:56 |
| trijntje | iem: did you add a PPA or something? If not you should just switch back to a previous kernel and everything should be fine | 13:56 |
| loa | i forgot this =/ | 13:56 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | so maybe the user doesn't exist trijntje | 13:56 |
| Corey84 | connect to server option loa | 13:57 |
| trijntje | loa: file -> connect to server | 13:57 |
| nvidia | nith1210: I just heard about it :) | 13:57 |
| Corey84 | same as you'd do for a VM loa | 13:57 |
| nith1210 | nvidia: apt-cache search cuda | 13:57 |
| loa | Corey84, TriJetScud so i can't just hit ctrl+L and enter something like smb:\\192.168.0.1 ? | 13:57 |
| loa | i remember such thing | 13:58 |
| trijntje | loa: smb:\\ could work | 13:58 |
| iem | Yeah I use a ppa or two but they were only meant to be for a few things but looks like unity stuff is in there as well | 13:58 |
| cipher__ | can anyone recommend an alternative to dovecot, it is not complying with setup? | 13:58 |
| trijntje | !ppapurge | 13:58 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 13:58 |
| Corey84 | dovecot is for ? | 13:58 |
| cipher__ | 13:59 | |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, yep I am not in the passwd file | 13:59 |
| MonkeyDust | cipher__ is that a server? if yes, better ask in #ubuntu-server | 13:59 |
| nith1210 | Corey84: What version of ubuntu are you using and do you have a blacklist entry for bcm43xxx? I find a note about b43 in my blacklist.conf. | 13:59 |
| iem | trijntje: Maybe I turn off the ppa's before I run apt-get install --reinstall-unity? | 14:00 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: thats weird, and this happened after an upgrade? | 14:00 |
| Corey84 | nith1210, trusty and that is foro the propreitary Not B43 (the o/s driver) | 14:00 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | yes, do-release-upgrade trijntje | 14:01 |
| Corey84 | if you read the line it says replaced BY b43 lol | 14:01 |
| trijntje | iem: you have to purge the ppa's, that way it will remove all packages from those ppa. If you just disable them you wont get new updates, but you will keep the weird packages you got from the ppa | 14:01 |
| nith1210 | Corey84: right, which might also mean that they conflict hense the blacklist on the older driver. | 14:01 |
| Corey84 | release-upgrade ? | 14:01 |
| Drecondius | I know the bcm divers don't work for my Wi-Fi adapter | 14:01 |
| nith1210 | Corey84: do you have anything in dmesg about the driver? | 14:01 |
| iem | trijntje: kay roger that, thanks! | 14:01 |
| Corey84 | they do for me but i hate them | 14:01 |
| Drecondius | Is it a Belkin f9l1101 | 14:02 |
| liquidAnger | hi all | 14:02 |
| Corey84 | and niether one works post 3.14.12 on ubuntu kernels only my RPM boxes when using kmod-wl | 14:02 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: is there any user with UUID > 1000 in that file? | 14:02 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: in this column: cat /etc/passwd | cut -d ':' -f 3 | 14:03 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | desktopadmin but I don't have access to that trijntje | 14:03 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: is this your own PC, or is someone else the administrator? | 14:04 |
| trijntje | /owner/whatever | 14:04 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | maybe I will drop to root from recovery | 14:04 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: what is the output of ls /home | 14:04 |
| trijntje | are your files still there? | 14:05 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, I am using guest account so I can't ls /home | 14:05 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | which is ironic since I can cat /etc/passwd trijntje | 14:05 |
| Dom951 | italiani online? | 14:06 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, the computer is my work computer, but this is a bank holiday so... | 14:06 |
| nvidia | why isn't nvidia 340 supported by ubuntu (yet)? | 14:06 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | Dom951, l'inglessi solo | 14:06 |
| serdem420 | hey guys, i installed apache2 with mod_python | 14:06 |
| paulo_ | pls recommend a downloader, one with continue capablility | 14:06 |
| serdem420 | but when i type url it shows the python code. it doesn't run it. | 14:07 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: hm, I dont think we can help you break into a computer that isn't yours. Sorry | 14:07 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | trijntje, it is my computer and I am not breaking in. Thanks for the help. I will just drop to root shell. | 14:07 |
| Corey84 | nvidia, its buggy as hell thats why and again i warn of using newest drivers too early | 14:08 |
| Corey84 | nvidia isnt known for thorough linux testing pre-release | 14:08 |
| guest-2XjFwJ | I am stoked about people assuming you are both stupid and up to no good. | 14:08 |
| nvidia | alrightey :) | 14:08 |
| adminewb | paulo_, using here aria2c for some things, you have something particular in mind? gui? shell command? | 14:08 |
| nvidia | how do I check what graphic driver I'm currently using? | 14:08 |
| trijntje | guest-2XjFwJ: good luck. I trust your not trying to do something illegal, but your company might have suspended your account for some reasone we don't know about | 14:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Corey84 true, Thorvalds publicly gave 'the finger' to nvidia | 14:09 |
| Corey84 | lol MonkeyDust and the NSA about selinux backdoors | 14:09 |
| nvidia | MonkeyDust: I can understand why | 14:10 |
| daftykins | nvidia: /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show what driver X settled on | 14:10 |
| paulo_ | adminewb: shell is ok. Does it make multiple connections for faster speed? | 14:10 |
| adminewb | aria2c can do multiple ftp connections to any number of hosts, yes | 14:11 |
| adminewb | also it does metalink and bittorrent | 14:11 |
| RPR | Does anyone know how to tell Ubuntu to not hijack the Alt key for a the command window. So many applications use the Alt key to do useful things, it makes no sense to me to have Ubuntu hijack it. | 14:13 |
| adminewb | RPR maybe you need to switch to another desktop? and not use unity | 14:14 |
| trijntje | RPR: you have to use compizxconfig settings manager for that | 14:14 |
| MonkeyDust | RPR that's one way of seeing it, you can alos say that the applications hijack it | 14:14 |
| RPR | MonkeyDust, seriously? Depends on how old you are I guess. The Alt key has been widely used, for I don't know years and years. | 14:15 |
| brasileiro | hi everyone... I'm having waves of high CPU usage and fan activity especially when watching videos (fiefox flash videos, VLC, mplayer, you name it)... the thing is that firefox goes as high as 70% of CPU usage even thou I'm using optirun (bumblebee) to run it... my hardware is pretty good (intel i7, nvidia GT650M, 6gb DDR3) so it shouldn't be happening.. any ideas?? | 14:15 |
| clin | hi, how do I setup a new font in .Xresources. I can run xterm -fa "Monaco" -fs 12 and it opens new xterm with Monaco font. What should be there in .Xresources file to always use this font? | 14:16 |
| krejsi | I have ubuntu 14.04 desktop installation usb. How do I choose to use my preseed file when I boot with the USB? It just asks me to either try ubuntu or install ubuntu | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | RPR true, but there's only a limited number of keys on a keyboard, some have double uses | 14:16 |
| adminewb | ... so it occurs to me there's a related question: can trusty users each configure their own kind of DE, but still be able to switch between their graphical terminals with Ctrl-Alt-Fx? | 14:17 |
| nvidia | brasileiro: you need hardware acceleration .. your CPU is doing what your GPU should be doing. | 14:18 |
| brasileiro | nvidia, but i'm already using bumblebee to open firefox... and using HTML5 to play the flash videos | 14:18 |
| nvidia | brasileiro: sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates and then sudo nvidia-xconfig and you're done | 14:18 |
| nvidia | brasileiro: what's bumblebee? | 14:19 |
| adminewb | !optirun | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | !info bumblebee | 14:19 |
| ubottu | bumblebee (source: bumblebee): NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.2.1-5 (trusty), package size 43 kB, installed size 231 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 14:19 |
| kstenger | hello, I'am trying to repair a broken usb which only holds the /boot partition with grub in it. I've followed all the instructions to chroot into my system as it should be, mounting every mountpoint, chrooting into it, then grub-install to the usb stick device, then update-grub. Everything goes out smoothly, but in the end, the only OS detected by grub is the Win7 I have at another partition of my harddrive, and not the linux one. Linux is installed into a | 14:19 |
| Synchunk | kty | 14:19 |
| brasileiro | nvidia, the project to run Optimus NVIDIA GPU | 14:19 |
| brasileiro | nvidia, like GT650M (mine) | 14:20 |
| daftykins | i believe nvidia-prime is a more valid choice than bumblebee now | 14:20 |
| brasileiro | daftykins, i've heard it has some issues regarding hibernation... =/ | 14:20 |
| trijntje | kstenger: your message got truncated, please split it up in smaller chunks. "Linux is installed into a.." | 14:21 |
| daftykins | oh? proof's in the pudding | 14:21 |
| mrgoodcat | my /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hud/hud-service is pegging out my cpu at 97%. anybody have any idea what this is or what i can do about it? | 14:21 |
| kstenger | Linux is installed into an encrypted partition. Any idea on why this could be happening or what could I do for grub to realize about both OSs (or even only the linux one) | 14:21 |
| kstenger | sorry | 14:21 |
| nvidia | I have a nvidia gfx card.. should I install nvidia-prime? | 14:21 |
| RPR | MonkeyDust, Yes limited number of keys. But Ubuntu didn't hijack "a" key. They hijacked an entire Meta key of which there are far, far fewer, like what 3-4. Anyway, it makes no sense. | 14:21 |
| adminewb | kstenger, could grub be missing a module that tells it about your partitioning scheme? | 14:23 |
| mrgoodcat | its also using more than 1GB of RAM | 14:23 |
| adminewb | or encryption, for that matter | 14:23 |
| kstenger | adminewb: I don't think so, since it was already working before the usb stick got broken, but how can I check? | 14:23 |
| adminewb | kstenger in what way is your usb stick broken | 14:24 |
| === acetakwas__ is now known as acetakwas | ||
| Corey84 | nvidia-prime IIRC is for multi-cards | 14:25 |
| trijntje | RPR: like I said, you can control this behaviour with compizconfig settings manager | 14:25 |
| wheatthin | hmm when i change the background image in gnome-shell and try to switch to a different desktop window it shows the previous background image instead | 14:25 |
| wheatthin | then I select the desktop number, and it goes to normal | 14:25 |
| trijntje | mrgoodcat: file a bug, kill the process | 14:25 |
| kstenger | adminewb: there was an update wich entered a loop state, didn't allow to cancel or anything, it was complaining about how grub was installed and it was not compatible with newer versions anymore (something about the MBR I think) (sorry to not be more precise at this point) | 14:26 |
| kstenger | adminewb: after this update grub didn't work anymore | 14:26 |
| MonkeyDust | RPR or create a custom distro without hijacked key combination | 14:26 |
| adminewb | kstenger, so your usb drive has multiple MBR style partitions on it? or did | 14:27 |
| brasileiro | daftykins, gonna try nvidia-prime | 14:27 |
| brasileiro | daftykins, thanks for the help =) | 14:27 |
| RPR | trijntje, Already did my 40 yrs of wandering in the desert of compizconfig looking for it to no avail. However, it turns out under "Settings" "Keyboard" (now that was obvious) "Launchers" I found it. | 14:27 |
| trijntje | RPR: its in the unity plugin | 14:28 |
| nvidia | should you install nvidia-prime if you have a nvidia card? | 14:28 |
| kstenger | adminewb: I don't know, I didn't do the original install, and this took me by surprise, I did a backup, but I don;t know how useful it could be | 14:29 |
| kstenger | adminewb: it should only have a single boot option for the linux OS I think (don;t know if this helps) | 14:29 |
| RPR | MonkeyDust, not a serious answer. I'm suggesting the Unity Hud should use ONE key to pop it up. Does that make sense to you? Instead of hijacking 33% or 25% of ALL key combos to pop it up ... Just use ONE. Say Alt-H. Why does that not seem reasonable? | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | RPR great idea! contact the appropriate people for it, on ubuntu.com | 14:30 |
| kstenger | where can I read about it adminewb? | 14:30 |
| trijntje | RPR: the HUD only triggers when you TAP the alt key, not when you keep it pressed, like you would do for shortcuts in most programs | 14:31 |
| adminewb | kstenger: well it sounds as though this isn't a related issue for you, but my grub.cfg has "insmod" module load commands for such items as "part_gpt" so it can read partition tables on a gpt disk, say | 14:31 |
| adminewb | kstenger, there'd also be special modules associated with encrypted partition, I expect | 14:32 |
| adminewb | grub docs are spread here and there, I'd have to google it | 14:32 |
| kstenger | adminewb: thanks for the hints. I'm just wondering why if the liveCD detects the encrypted partitions and all, let's you mount them etc, then the grub-install tool won't find them. but i'll google about it, thanks! | 14:33 |
| adminewb | sure | 14:34 |
| RPR | trijntje, It should be the opposite. i.e Assume the user knows how to type. It should be a long hold (>1 sec) to pop the hub. I use all 10 keys to type. Ubuntu interprets my typing speed as a tap. | 14:35 |
| Corey84 | kstenger, the issue with crypto drive | 14:35 |
| kstenger | adminewb: the modules you are talking about are of grub or kernel-wide? | 14:35 |
| kstenger | Corey84: yes? | 14:36 |
| Corey84 | kstenger, mounting and installing grub to crypted drive? | 14:36 |
| adminewb | kstenger, those are grub modules I'm referring to not linux | 14:36 |
| trijntje | RPR: I dont understand what you are saying. I never use the alt key except to open the HUD, what do you use it for, and in which programs? | 14:36 |
| kstenger | Corey84: no, the encrypted drive is in my harddrive, the usb stick is not encrypted | 14:36 |
| Corey84 | if so are you using ecryptfs or cryptsetup | 14:36 |
| kstenger | the usb stick holds /boot, the HD holds / etc. | 14:36 |
| Corey84 | but you are putting grub where | 14:36 |
| Corey84 | /boot CANT bee crypted on ubuntu | 14:37 |
| RPR | trijntje, almost every program I know of has Alt key shortcuts. Which ones do you use which don't leverage the Alt key? | 14:37 |
| MonkeyDust | RPR apparentally, nobody uses the keyboard the way you do | 14:37 |
| kstenger | grub goes on /boot, on the stock, it's not encrypted | 14:37 |
| kstenger | stick | 14:37 |
| Corey84 | the kernels lack the crypt read ahead modules | 14:37 |
| ice9 | how to upgrade to 14.04.1 from 14.04 | 14:38 |
| Corey84 | grub to usb /boot only holds the boot info | 14:38 |
| trijntje | RPR: can you give some examples? What kind of things can you do with the alt key that you cant do with the HUD? | 14:38 |
| kstenger | Corey84: yes, that's what i'm trying to recover | 14:38 |
| trijntje | ice9: thats automatic | 14:38 |
| RPR | Firefox, Chrome, Emacs, LibreXXX ... | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ice9: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist0upgrade | 14:38 |
| Corey84 | ice9, you dont ---doid you mean 12.04 > 14.04 perhaps | 14:38 |
| Beldar | ice9, it is done automatically with standard updates. | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ice9: its just a point release, they use the same repos. Its not a new ubuntu release | 14:39 |
| Corey84 | nvm missed the .1 part | 14:39 |
| ice9 | but it won't show 14.04.1 in lsb_release -a? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ice9: why does it matter what that says? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ice9: as long as you are fully updated from the Trusty repos, you are fine | 14:40 |
| Corey84 | again its a point release lsb_release -a is for major releases IIRC | 14:40 |
| ice9 | thanks all | 14:40 |
| ice9 | got it | 14:40 |
| trijntje | RPR: so what shortcut do you want to use in firefox that you cant use now? I've seriously never heard anyone with this problem before | 14:40 |
| Corey84 | so you lost /boot on the usb ? and the hd is encrypted? kstenger | 14:41 |
| kstenger | Corey84: yes | 14:41 |
| Pici | Uh... you will see 14.04.1 in lsb_release -a... | 14:41 |
| RPR | trijntje, Have you ever tried to use the Alt key within any program / application? Anyway just google "Unity Alt key disable" and hear the voices. | 14:42 |
| trijntje | RPR: no I haven't, thats why I am asking you to be explicit about what you are trying to do | 14:42 |

| Corey84 | mount the crypt (via live installer) as WELL as usb that will hold /boot and run a chrooted grub-install /dev/sdX (the usb) and then grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX (the usb again ) and then update-grub | 14:42 |
| Corey84 | to mount it you need to unlock it tho | 14:43 |
| kstenger | adminewb: Corey84: is this an option i should add to my grub-install command? --modules=dm-crypt | 14:43 |
| Corey84 | no need if on 13.04+ its in the kernel already | 14:43 |
| adminewb | kstenger, my knowledge of grub-install options is too superficial | 14:44 |
| Corey84 | hang tight ill give a cmd by cmd pastie | 14:44 |
| kstenger | Corey84: I did just as you said above, and the only detected OS is windows :( | 14:44 |
| iaam | Hi there all now i am getting a unable to load session when trying to log into ubuntu (14.04) | 14:44 |
| thegoat | is there a way to bind nfs to a certain IP? | 14:45 |
| kstenger | Corey84: I did grub-install --recheck --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sdc then update-grub | 14:46 |
| kstenger | Corey84: I also tried with --root-directory=/mnt instead | 14:46 |
| kstenger | both same result | 14:46 |
| WolfGeek | I have a very strange problem across multiple 14.04LTS servers. SSH via public key is failing with Permission Denied. The auth.log shows that sshd can't open the authorized_keys files. Permissions and ownership is absolutely correct. Here's the kicker. As soon as I do an 'ls -l' on the file or a 'stat' on the file, it starts working right away. It keeps working for some length of time (haven't measured it exactly yet) and then st | 14:46 |
| Corey84 | is it lvm by chance | 14:46 |
| WolfGeek | any clues? | 14:46 |
| kstenger | Corey84: I think so, yes | 14:47 |
| trijntje | WolfGeek: your message was too long and got truncated. please split it up | 14:47 |
| Corey84 | you never mounted /dev then hang on pastie on the way | 14:47 |
| kstenger | yes, i did mount it on /mnt/boot | 14:47 |
| ice9 | how do I reset Ubuntu's repositories? | 14:47 |
| === Hein is now known as Guest32989 | ||
| trijntje | ice9: do you mean remove PPA's you added? | 14:48 |
| trijntje | !ppapurge | 14:48 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 14:48 |
| kstenger | Corey84: I also tried re-creating my whole directory structure into mnt and chrooting into it | 14:48 |
| WolfGeek | I have a very strange problem across multiple 14.04LTS servers. | 14:48 |
| WolfGeek | SSH via public key is failing with Permission Denied. | 14:49 |
| ice9 | trijntje: remove every thing and set the original repos that are defined in fresh intallation | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | The auth.log shows that sshd can't open the authorized_keys files. | 14:49 |
| trijntje | WolfGeek: wo got till "measured it exactly yet) and then st" | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | Permissions and ownership is absolutely correct. | 14:49 |
| Corey84 | kstenger, try this and report any errors http://pastie.org/9420314 | 14:49 |
| Corey84 | openssh-server installed? | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | Here's the kicker. As soon as I do an 'ls -l' on the file or a 'stat' on the file, it starts working right away. | 14:49 |
| Corey84 | WolfGeek, ^^ | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | It keeps working for some length of time (haven't measured it exactly yet) and then stops again with the same problem. | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | WolfGeek: do you have read access to ~/.ssh on the server ? | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | sorry | 14:49 |
| WolfGeek | yes, | 14:49 |
| trijntje | ice9: that depends, if you only added ppa's you can remove them all using ppapurge. If you did something else there is no easy way to fix it as far as I know | 14:50 |
| Beldar | ice9, run this command given to you earlier than check again, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | WolfGeek: have you used: ssh -v user@server | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | WolfGeek: is the ssh server running on the server? it's not installed by default | 14:50 |
| kstenger | Corey84: cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf <--- this is something I never did, trying now | 14:51 |
| kstenger | Corey84: the /mnt/mapper ... devices where already mounted by the liveCD, do you think i need to remount them as you do in the pastie? | 14:52 |
| WolfGeek | yes, I've done ssh -v, ssh is running, openssh is installed. Let me say again, as soon as I do an 'ls' on the authorized_keys file, I can ssh in using my key successfully. ssh is working.... | 14:52 |
| WolfGeek | basically ssh is getting a permission denied on the file UNTIL I force the OS to stat the file. Then it works fine. Very strange problem. | 14:54 |
| jhutchins | What init system does 12.04 use? | 14:55 |
| jhutchins | Is that upstart or systemd? | 14:55 |
| ljunggren | ge | 14:55 |
| ljunggren | jaeg | 14:56 |
| WolfGeek | Anyone? I've been fighting this for 2 days now. I could really use some help.... | 14:57 |
| jhutchins | WolfGeek: Anything unusual about the filesystem? Straight ext3/4 or LVM or what? | 14:58 |
| stan_man_can | The name of my database changed so I’m trying to do a bulk update in all my websites. I’ve tried “find /var/www/hosting/www -type f -exec sed - ‘/s/mysql_select_db\(\”table1\”\)/mysql_select_db\(\”table2\”\)/g’ {} \; and it’s nt working, no errors | 14:59 |
| WolfGeek | jhutchins: straight ext4 | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | WolfGeek: i'd delete ~/.ssh on the server then scp a fresh copy over and start from scratch | 14:59 |
| WolfGeek | ActionParsnip: I'll try that. It's doing the same thing for multiple users. However their ~/.ssh was setup by puppet, so maybe something strange there. Although I never had this problem with 12.04LTS | 15:00 |
| Corey84 | kstenger, i was afk sorry | 15:02 |
| Corey84 | first part is so you have a dns resolver file | 15:02 |
| Corey84 | the live usb shouldnt have mounted crypted drive parts | 15:02 |
| Corey84 | unless possibly it was merely lvm'ed not encrypted as you thought | 15:03 |
| Corey84 | a lsblk paste once n=mounted work help | 15:03 |
| kstenger | Corey84: np, I think this actually doesn't differ from what I've done before, except for mounting the partitions by hand instead of relying on the ubuntu liveCD (which does it wonderfully) and copying the resolv.conf file | 15:04 |
| === jan is now known as Guest98227 | ||
| Corey84 | for crypto the installer blows tbh | 15:04 |
| kstenger | Corey84: but since I'm inside the shell over the actual root partition, the cp is meaningless | 15:04 |
| kstenger | tbh? | 15:04 |
| Corey84 | try apt update without it and tell me its meaningless | 15:05 |
| === bobharris is now known as k9- | ||
| Corey84 | youll get dns not found errors out your tail end | 15:05 |
| Corey84 | tbh = to be honest | 15:05 |
| SchrodingersScat | 0sRLGFJTDpjM5/vMM9qvH/ | 15:05 |
| kstenger | i mean the file is the same, because / is the same partition as /mnt :) | 15:06 |
| kstenger | the live cd allowed me into a shell over the sda root partition | 15:06 |
| Corey84 | its still only in memory unless you have fully booted it at least once already | 15:06 |
| kstenger | ok, but how will the cp change anything if the partition is just mounted twice, once in / and another in /mnt | 15:07 |
| Corey84 | do you see ONLY ubuntu ~#/ at the shell and does running ls from right there give you the default bin etc dev folders ? if not the sheell is merely an illusion | 15:08 |
| k9- | can someone help em to crack a Wordpress hash? | 15:08 |

| phunyguy | ahh. carry on then. :) | 15:21 |
| Urchin | is it possible to go from 12.04 to 14.04 directly? | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Urchin: yes | 15:23 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:23 |
| phunyguy | (do you still need the -d option?) | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Urchin: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: -d is the (d)ev release, which is utopic (Ubuntu 12.10) | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | oops 14.10 | 15:23 |
| Urchin | but I can't find the option to do so | 15:24 |
| phunyguy | ActionParsnip: yes that wasn't true for 12.04 though. The dev release for 12.04 is 14.04 until 14.04.1 which was released this week. | 15:24 |
| phunyguy | the upgrade path to 14.04 was considered "dev" until then | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: until it goes to the first point release, the -d option is needed. When it went to 14.04.1 it will be offered | 15:24 |
| cfhowlett | Urchin upgrade manager settings : Long Term Support release | 15:24 |
| phunyguy | ActionParsnip: exactly. | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: and its 14.04.1 now, so -d isnt needed | 15:25 |
| phunyguy | that was what I asked. | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: ahh i see, wel....answer :) | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | answered | 15:25 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: ActionParsnip: The default 12.04 > 14.04.1 release upgrade isn't yet available... not until Trusty is added to http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts | 15:26 |
| phunyguy | And there we go. | 15:26 |
| phunyguy | Thanks TJ- | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | oh, my mistake | 15:26 |
| phunyguy | so you still need the -d option for do-release-upgrade to get to 14.04 | 15:26 |
| Urchin | it's already set to upgrade to LTS | 15:26 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: It *is* available in proposed though, as per http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts-proposed | 15:26 |
| Urchin | but I can't find the upgrade to the next lts | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: tbh, I always clean install. Upgrades can be so messy | 15:26 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: No, you want --proposed if you can't wait :) | 15:27 |
| cfhowlett | TJ- agreed - clean install has been way less painful | 15:27 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: pretty sure -p option uses the proposed version of the updater, not the dev release | 15:27 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/do-release-upgrade.8.html -> -d, --devel-release - Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible | 15:28 |
| TJ- | Upgrades depend on the complexity of the configuration. May be OK for simpler configurations but if you've got a lot of customisation the Debian installer scripts have been written to take care of those - that's why Ubuntu focuses on LTS > LTS upgrade support only (besides release A > B), otherwise we'd need scripts for every combination. | 15:29 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: Yes... and the devel release currently is Utopic | 15:29 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: that half-true | 15:29 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: the dev release as far as 12.04 is concerned, is 14.04 | 15:29 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: The --devel release meta is at http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development | 15:30 |
| suriya | Hi | 15:30 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: I was reading the source code earlier in UpdateManager.MetaReleaseCore to figure all this out, since we're getting a *lot* of questions about it since Adam Conrad published the announcement in the early hours | 15:31 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: oh yeah? I actually tested the scenarios. | 15:32 |
| bullicon | how can you tell if a distro has been patched? | 15:32 |
| phunyguy | sat down with ikonia and did it. | 15:32 |
| bullicon | if ubuntu has been patched | 15:32 |
| bullicon | or its a fresh install | 15:33 |
| phunyguy | bullicon: load the update manager and see what is pending... | 15:33 |
| === Sleepnbum is now known as Guest80704 | ||
| bullicon | its a server | 15:33 |
| === Guest80704 is now known as Sleepnbum | ||
| phunyguy | bullicon: so run `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s" | 15:35 |
| Urchin | how much trouble should I expect with the update if the current install is so large that I don't even know what I have any more | 15:35 |
| phunyguy | to see what is missing | 15:35 |
| bullicon | phunyguy ta | 15:35 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: backup your important stuff.... then run the upgrade. If it fails, install fresh and restore your backups. | 15:35 |
| === luckybunny is now known as lbaway | ||
| Urchin | btw, last time I did this, I had stuff falling apart during upgrade, are there any special caveats about X or window managers? | 15:37 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: I wish I could be more help.... you will just have to try and see. Just make sure your backups are solid. | 15:38 |
| Urchin | ok | 15:38 |
| === Azer- is now known as Azer | ||
| Urchin | I've tried do-release-upgrade sandbox and found that it complained about the filesystem (I'm running XFS), is it still supported as usual? | 15:40 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: it turns out we were both right http://paste.ubuntu.com/7856744/ | 15:40 |
| phunyguy | that is on a 12.04 box | 15:41 |
| daftykins | it'll work straight off soon though, right? | 15:41 |
| daftykins | and start appearing in MOTDs? | 15:41 |
| ragabash | ? | 15:41 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: in this scenario, the updater is in "proposed" state, which points to the new release. When 14.04 was first released, this was not the case, and the -d option was required. | 15:42 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: so maybe you were more correct, as perhaps the -p option uses a newer version of the updater... but I am not sure there. | 15:42 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: yes very soon. | 15:43 |
| ragabash | o que é exatamente este programa? | 15:43 |
| daftykins | but we should still tell people not to run it with -d, right? | 15:44 |

| phunyguy | daftykins: I think they both accomplish the same thing | 15:44 |
| Urchin | wait, did point release for 14.04 come or not? | 15:44 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: yes. | 15:44 |
| daftykins | phunyguy: would there not come a time where someone running with -d on 12.04 would take them to 14.10? | 15:44 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: I'm going by the code on a 12.04 server... they start off with the base URLs for normal and LTS, and then add on "-proposed" or "-development" suffixes in order to fetch the currently valid lists, then those are filters by "Date:" field so only valid entries have dates > than current_date | 15:44 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: I think the next round of updates should make 14.04 the stable upgrade path. | 15:44 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: no as the next step would be 14.04 regardless | 15:45 |
| pa | how bad is it to symlink /etc/sudoers ? | 15:45 |
| daftykins | phunyguy: sounds like i need to stop telling people off for advising to run with -d then :O | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | pa to where? | 15:46 |
| pa | to somewhere else where there's a custom sudoers file | 15:46 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: it is a very weird subject | 15:46 |
| cdmsn | I do some operations in a bash script with sudo and it works fine.. the next minute I get: sudo: unknown user: vagrant sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin. Any thoughts on this? | 15:47 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: These things are commonly confused... but there are specific supported upgrade paths. The only time it would skip releases, is if an intermediate release was no longer supported. For example, when 12.10 was still supported and 13.04 wasn't... you went directly from 12.10 to 13.10... but before that you would need 13.04 first. | 15:47 |
| ljunggren | Hi, is there a known bug of the installer? I have had all previous versions of Ubuntu installed fine but this 14.04 just hangs at first step after pressing "next" when there is checks for internet connection etc . Can someone help me? | 15:48 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: with that being said, there would be no "dev" release as far as 12.04 is concerned.... it would /only/ care about 14.04 | 15:48 |
| daftykins | phunyguy: ah ok, thanks for the info :) | 15:49 |
| phunyguy | ikonia and I sat down in -ops and hashed this out when 14.04 was released. | 15:49 |
| daftykins | i figured things are pretty different once 14.04.1 is out | 15:50 |
| phunyguy | but now you peaked my interest. I am going to set up a test VM with 12.04.4, and when 14.04 upgrade path becomes stable, I will test these theories. | 15:50 |
| phunyguy | but I am 99.9999% sure that it will still want 14.04 first. | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ljunggren: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 15:51 |
| ljunggren | Yeah it's right | 15:51 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: the output you showed could display a bug :) The UpdateManager.MetaReleaseCore.__init() by default sets the suffixes for Proposed and Development to "-development", then reads the config file "/etc/update-manager/meta-release" to override those, which *should* correct the "-proposed" entry | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ljunggren: are you using USB or CD? | 15:51 |
| ljunggren | It works now after letting it sit 35 minutes . Too long lol. It's USB . ActionParsnip | 15:51 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: hmm? so which one is incorrect? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ljunggren: weird, could try without web access. I always do. Get the OS installed then update | 15:52 |
| ljunggren | Ive tried several times and waited 15 minutes - 20 minutes each time | 15:52 |
| ljunggren | Yeah thanks anyway! Have a good day | 15:52 |
| Urchin | phunyguy: when's the upgrade path due to become stable? | 15:52 |
| phunyguy | Urchin: I don't have specifics. | 15:52 |
| cfhowlett | Urchin you can torrent the ISO and set it as the software source then upgrade from there | 15:53 |
| phunyguy | cfhowlett: or use the updater with the -p or -d option... | 15:53 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: It's damned confusing. If you're going to do a test, copy the current meta-release* files from the server and host them on your own HTTP server, and customise the test VM "/etc/update-manager/meta-release" to point to them... otherwise the Ubuntu files might change whilst you are testing :) | 15:54 |
| Urchin | cfhowlett: that's not what I want, and besides, it would lack all the software I have | 15:55 |
| fALSO | Where can I get support about Ubuntu's g++/linker ? | 15:55 |
| fALSO | In the latest Ubuntu version... it seems that to link against some lib | 15:55 |
| fALSO | you need to put it at the end of the g++ command line | 15:55 |
| paulo_ | what is the latest trusty kernel? | 15:55 |
| fALSO | this is very WEIRD | 15:55 |
| Urchin | fALSO: are you a beginner? | 15:56 |
| fALSO | nop | 15:56 |
| fALSO | I know what I am doing... | 15:56 |
| fALSO | Just tried the same with debian and works correctly | 15:56 |
| fALSO | if you do for examploe | 15:56 |
| fALSO | g++ -lcrypt bleh.c -o bleh | 15:56 |
| TJ- | fALSO: Could you please combine your comments into single lines rather than hitting Enter after each sub-sentence, thank you :) | 15:56 |
| fALSO | it givens undefined symbols to 'crypt' | 15:56 |
| fALSO | if you do | 15:56 |
| fALSO | g++ bleh.c -o bleh -lcrypt | 15:56 |
| MonkeyDust | fALSO don't abuse the enter key, it has rights too | 15:57 |
| fALSO | it builds... but the binary isnt OK | 15:57 |
| fALSO | OK... SORRY | 15:57 |
| TJ- | fALSO: GNU gcc g++ changed the ordering of libraries ages ago - the library list should come *after* the compilation unit | 15:57 |
| fALSO | what do you mean by AGES ago ? | 15:57 |
| Urchin | fALSO: they may have started actually using standards, libs go at the end (at least they did in C) | 15:57 |
| fALSO | just tried it on the LATEST debian and it still works | 15:57 |
| walkerpp | Hi all. I had two partition one was windows and another ubuntu. I reinstalled windows and it has overwritten ubuntu's bootloader. How do I make in recognise the Ubuntu partition again? Thank you | 15:57 |

| fALSO | 16:48 <@fALSO> no debian ainda nao foderam o gcc pelos vistos | 15:58 |
| xangua | !grub | walkerpp | 15:58 |
| ubottu | walkerpp: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | walkerpp you need to reinstall grub2 | 15:58 |
| Urchin | fALSO: latest debian will be older | 15:58 |
| fALSO | Ok... but that change BREAKS "A TON" of packages | 15:58 |
| fALSO | and also putting it at the end is linking but the binary isnt OK | 15:58 |
| TJ- | fALSO: see "-l library" of https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options | 15:58 |
| walkerpp | cfhowlett: is grub2 dependable? | 15:59 |
| TJ- | fALSO: show us a pastebin of the output that is incorrect | 15:59 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: I don't want to mess with those files. I want to test what the user sees. | 15:59 |
| Urchin | fALSO: putting it at the end is the standard, gcc allowing them to be put at the beginning was a mistake, if you fell for it, tough | 15:59 |
| walkerpp | walkerpp: I am using ubuntu 14.04 though | 15:59 |
| fALSO | Me and probably a TON of open source packages | 16:00 |
| fALSO | That wont build now... | 16:00 |
| cfhowlett | walkerpp and 14.04 uses grub2. reinstall | 16:00 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: My point is, if you do multiple tests, and the Ubuntu server meta-release-lts is updated on the live server, you may see different results on different test runs and not realise the test is based on different inputs | 16:00 |
| walkerpp | cfhowlett: aha, so I should make a ubuntu14.04 live usb and do a boot repair? | 16:01 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: I was talking more just a general test on what happens when the upgrade path to 14.04 goes stable, and you still pass the -d option. | 16:01 |
| cfhowlett | walkerpp exactomundo | 16:01 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: Ahhh, I thought you meant whilst we're in limbo ... since this is an edge-case the update-manager devs don't seem to have covered, and could lead to unexpected results/tears | 16:02 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: well that is why it is the dev version. It's not ready until it's ready. :) | 16:02 |
| walkerpp | cfhowlett: I wish there was some way I can get it running without downloading ubuntu again | 16:02 |
| cfhowlett | walkerpp USB's are cheap. one should always have a live ubuntu USB within reach. | 16:04 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: I think when the upgrader is only considering LTS releases, it also checks the "Supported:" field. If that is false (0) it'll ignore the release, which explains your "-d" output... Utopic is in the -development list but has "Supported: 0" | 16:04 |
| walkerpp | cfhowlett: going to use this for time being http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-the-windows-bootloader-to-dual-boot-windows-vista-and-ubuntu.html | 16:05 |
| walkerpp | hope this works | 16:05 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: I think it does that regardless of LTS | 16:05 |
| Urchin | fALSO: bottom line is, it's unintuitive but correct behavior, fix your packages | 16:05 |
| fALSO | i changed the linking to the end... but the package doesnt work correctly after it | 16:06 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: afaict it looks for supported: 1 on any release, and will go to the next supported version... not the latest supported. | 16:06 |
| fALSO | it seems that there is also a problem with -lcrypt on Ubuntu | 16:06 |
| phunyguy | if there is no more with 1, it does to the next dev version. So in either case, it will still go to 14.04 fierst. | 16:06 |
| phunyguy | first* | 16:06 |
| Urchin | fALSO: that's Ubuntu 14.04, right? | 16:07 |
| fALSO | yes urchin | 16:07 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: when 14.10 becomes stable, the upgrade path from 12.04 to 14.01 would still be 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 14.10 if you so choose. | 16:08 |
| phunyguy | 14.10*** | 16:08 |
| phunyguy | adding the -d option beforehand will not change that 14.04 intermediate step. | 16:09 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: MetaReleaseCore.parse() reads all the possible releases into 'dists' then locates itself in that list as 'current_dist', then it looks for the first release with a date > 'current_dist.date'. So, yes, 12.04's first >date will always be Trusty | 16:12 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: I missed the 'break' on >date in the loop that tests the dates which, if missing, would take it on to the last entry in the meta-release* file | 16:13 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: I ran another small test. Interestingly enough, if you are prompting to install any version instead of LTS.... it wants to go to 12.10. Even adding the -d or -p option does that | 16:14 |
| brasileiro | hi, if anyone can help me, I'm having a lag problem on my Ubuntu 14.04 that seems a lot like the problem described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1439861 I'm the author of the second post.. | 16:15 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: that makes sense based on http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-{development,proposed} | 16:15 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: so adding the -d option after 14.04 path becomes stable... is harmless. | 16:16 |
| phunyguy | daftykins: ^ | 16:16 |
| walterpp | will this work for me http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ ? | 16:16 |
| walterpp | repairing the grub2 | 16:16 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: Could be argued to be a bug in the code though since it certainly isn't the user's intention :) | 16:16 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: well if the user has it set to "any" release and hasn't upgraded yet.... they have bigger issues anyway ;) | 16:16 |
| cfhowlett | walterpp it's on sourceforuge NOT from ubuntu. do the math. | 16:16 |
| phunyguy | I just wanted to test that | 16:17 |
| anonymous___ | Hello Everyone | 16:17 |
| Urchin[emacs] | I'm still mulling over weather I want to do the upgrade via command line or trough gui (and which gui), any suggestions? | 16:17 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: I assume it is taking some time to get all the mirrors updated before the meta-release-lts files are updated | 16:17 |
| walterpp | cfhowlett: lol, that doesn't make sense it's here too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:17 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: I don't think they will be. If you look, even warty is still in there | 16:18 |
| pseudo | i need a bridge-start script to run before openvpn on startup - what is the best way to acieve this behavior with ubuntu's init system? /etc/default/openvpn /etc/init.d/openvpn - if i edit these files, will an apt-get upgrade overwrite them. is there a better way to do this? | 16:18 |
| cfhowlett | Urchin[emacs] same outcome. do what you're comfortable with | 16:19 |
| phunyguy | TJ-: once the release is moved to old-releases, which is probably where 12.10 is, that upgrade path is no longer valid. which is why I said, if you have it set to any, and haven't upgraded yet, you will have bigger issues | 16:19 |
| TJ- | phunyguy: The files always extend, they don't get truncated. Tests may be run from old-releases, for example. But, for the upgrades not to break for *everyone* every mirror will need to ensure it has the 14.04.1 packages and lists | 16:19 |
| phunyguy | oh yes, that makes sense. | 16:20 |
| Urchin[emacs] | cfhowlett: last time I did it, I did it in gui, and most of the environment *died* during the upgrade, I want to be sure that screen continues running troughout (if I use screen, or should I use straight xterm, or maybe just one of the virtual terminals) | 16:22 |
| cfhowlett | Urchin[emacs] running it from CLI will free up your gui for other things | 16:22 |

| MRME | hello my laptop have 12 gb ram and 1500gb how do you suggest me partitioning it / | 16:36 |
| MRME | var | 16:36 |
| MRME | var | 16:37 |
| loctauxphilippe | MRME, One partition for Ubuntu! | 16:37 |
| MRME | /boot/home/tmp/ usrvar /srv /opt /usr/local | 16:37 |
| loctauxphilippe | MRME, And noting else! | 16:37 |
| MRME | how much gb do i give those directories | 16:37 |
| MRME | btw the laptop contains 2 hd 750 +750 | 16:38 |
| loctauxphilippe | MRME, Just let the Ubuntu installer do his work... | 16:38 |
| MRME | didn't work well with the 2 hdd | 16:38 |
| MRME | the other hd stayed ntfs ;) | 16:38 |
| MRME | so i had to do it manually | 16:39 |
| MRME | any suggestions ? | 16:39 |
| daftykins | loctauxphilippe: please don't give bad advice. | 16:39 |
| OerHeks | MRME, let the ubuntu installer partition the free space, that will do | 16:39 |
| TJ- | MRME: do you want the disks to be RAID-1 mirrors? | 16:40 |
| MRME | nop | 16:40 |
| MRME | i don't really know what does that meen | 16:40 |
| MRME | i want to use it as a personal laptop and ill use some virtual machines | 16:41 |
| TJ- | MRME: it means both disks have identical images, so if one fails the system can continue operations as normal until the failed disk is replaced | 16:41 |
| MRME | 12 gb ram ? how much do i need to the swap | 16:41 |
| genoobie | okay, stupid question, I am trying to run minecraft for my kid | 16:41 |
| MRME | no | 16:41 |
| genoobie | when I use the Xorg driver, all seems OK, when I use the nVidia driver, cannot init gxl | 16:41 |
| TJ- | MRME: If the system is intended to hibernate, You'd want at least 12.5GB of swap | 16:41 |
| MRME | cool | 16:42 |
| MRME | what about the root directory ? how many gb?? | 16:42 |
| MRME | i have 1500 750+750 | 16:42 |
| genoobie | TJ-, still couldn't figure out why the wireless started working :/ | 16:42 |
| TJ- | MRME: if there is a chance you might upgrade the RAM later, you might want to allocate more to swap now | 16:42 |
| TJ- | genoobie: As long as it is still working reliably now! | 16:42 |
| genoobie | yeah, but god forbid I reinstall | 16:42 |
| MRME | cool ill give it 32 | 16:42 |
| TJ- | genoobie: I did wonder - after you'd gone - if the NIC was stuck in ad-hoc mode rather than managed. That'd explain why scans didn't report anything | 16:43 |
| TJ- | genoobie: and the boot to 3.0 cleared that state | 16:43 |
| === alien_ is now known as Guest52705 | ||

| Guest52705 | what a fuck... | 16:43 |
| genoobie | not sure if that was the fix | 16:44 |
| genoobie | the drop in enumeration occurred at the same time | 16:44 |
| TJ- | MRME with that amount of disk space you might be better off doing an LVM install, that way you can expand volumes later if you need to without running into partitioning limits | 16:44 |
| TJ- | !language | Guest52705 | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Guest52705: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 16:44 |
| MRME | TJ- do you suggest any tutioral or article for LVM install or do i do my own searches ? | 16:46 |
| cfhowlett | !lvm | 16:46 |

| kstenger | Corey84: I'm back sorry for the delay, back to the grub-on-a-stick thing, I just followed your steps. update-grub complains with: /var/lock/lvm: mkdir failed No such file or directory File-based locking initialization failed. (also i saw the /var/lock directory is empty, maybe I should mount it before chrooting?) | 16:47 |
| MRME | ubottu thanks | 16:48 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 16:48 |
| MRME | ubottu i can't believe it haha | 16:48 |
| ubottu | MRME: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:48 |
| Corey84 | kstenger, then something in your lvm is messed up | 16:48 |
| Corey84 | or you arent following the (continue mounting rest of LVM) part of paste | 16:49 |
| TJ- | MRME: in addition, there is a nice LVM overview at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 16:49 |
| kstenger | ah, i might have missed some mountpoint | 16:49 |
| kstenger | let me check | 16:49 |
| Corey84 | at a minumum you need / /boot /var /usr /dev /proc /sys mounted | 16:49 |
| MRME | TJ- alright ill go to LVM but as a start or default size to use ? | 16:50 |
| === Nonl is now known as Ozera|| | ||
| MRME | TJ- for the directories i mentioned | 16:50 |
| Corey84 | MRME, any other systems onboard the hdd ? also size of hd | 16:50 |
| MRME | @corey84 2 hdd 750+750 and 12gb ram i don't have any other systems but i have partition which contains the recovery | 16:51 |
| kstenger | Corey84: /var has contents, but /var/lock has not, is it usual for this directory to be a separate mountpoint? | 16:51 |
| MRME | corey84 /boot/home/tmp/ usrvar /srv /opt /usr/local how much do i assign to them | 16:51 |
| TJ- | MRME: The point of LVM is, it is a container that disk space is allocated to. Whole-disk partitions are allocated to Physical Volumes (PVs). PVs are allocated to Volume Groups (VGs). Within VGs Logical Volumes (LVs) are created to contain the file-systems. LVs can be extended using free 'extents' in the parent VG, new LVs created at will, and snapshots of existing LVs taken very easily. | 16:52 |
| Corey84 | are you spliting the hdds by chance or using 2nd one purely for backups and /home? | 16:52 |
| Corey84 | TJ-, i use LVMs and have a good grasp of them too but that was a bit confusing on first read | 16:53 |
| Corey84 | MRME, my current setup on a 640G http://pastebin.com/JqmHLQGG | 16:54 |
| MRME | corey84 i don't really know i don't need backups | 16:55 |
| TJ- | MRME: I have /boot/ = ~512MB, /tmp/ = 6GB, /usr/local/ = 18GB, /opt/ = 4GB, / = 12GB, /var/ = 6GB ... and /home/ a large amount based on intended usage | 16:55 |
| MRME | corey84 its a personal computer | 16:55 |
| Corey84 | mine too (a laptop ) | 16:55 |
| MRME | tj- ill do the lvm later on am a newbie | 16:55 |
| MRME | so ill start with normal partitioning and install | 16:55 |
| TJ- | MRME: You'd have to reinstall then. | 16:55 |
| Corey84 | ^^ | 16:56 |
| MRME | tj- its ok am doing this to leran | 16:56 |
| MRME | learn * | 16:56 |
| Corey84 | MRME, see my layout? | 16:56 |
| TJ- | MRME: OK ... if you just choose "LVM" in the installer when offered the choice, it will do a default LVM install... which you can customise later at will | 16:56 |
| MRME | corey84 ill do the same or do you suggest me to increase something because i have a larger storage | 16:57 |
| Corey84 | install system-config-lvm once installed tho to make gui control of lvm easier | 16:57 |
| Corey84 | increase /home on yours if anything | 16:57 |
| MRME | thx a lot guys ill be back in 45 min dinner and the family waiting for me haha | 16:57 |

| brasileiro | hi, if anyone can help me, I'm having a lag problem on my Ubuntu 14.04 that seems a lot like the problem described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1439861 I'm the author of the second post.. | 17:01 |

| patarr | hello. I am running nvidia drivers on 14.04 and I can't log in after enabling Xinerama. | 17:11 |
| patarr | If I dont have xinerama, I set up the other displays as new X screens. | 17:11 |
| patarr | I log in, and they're black screens but I can put my cursor in them. (The cursor is that class X) | 17:12 |
| patarr | If I enable xinerama, after i put in my login credentials i just see the ubuntu wallpaper on all screens and get nowhere from there. | 17:12 |
| TJ- | patarr: Is that using Unity? | 17:13 |
| patarr | What? | 17:13 |
| pankaj | hi | 17:19 |
| pankaj | how to recover loss data from hard disk | 17:20 |
| Ladon | Is there a method to automatically have all new files owned by Ladon:Ladon w/ a chmod of 666 or 777? | 17:20 |
| TJ- | patarr: xinerama disables 3D acceleration, which would cause the Unity Desktop Environment to have problems. Also, I had to move to KDE because Unity couldn't handle multi-monitor setups at all well | 17:20 |
| Ladon | I run into permissions errors with automation constantly. I don't want to have to go into terminal and manually fix it every time. | 17:20 |
| Ladon | (for, say, /mnt/*) | 17:20 |
| TJ- | Ladon: The shell can/does set a umask which controls the permissions of newly created files by that user | 17:21 |
| pankaj | why are my laptop startup very slow | 17:21 |
| pankaj | please tell me | 17:22 |
| Ladon | TJ-, would that be in the fstab file? I can't find semi-laymen documentation for how to set up the umask | 17:22 |
| yeats | !details | pankaj | 17:22 |
| ubottu | pankaj: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 17:22 |
| TJ- | pankaj: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 17:22 |
| TJ- | Ladon: "man bash" then "/ umask" | 17:23 |
| pankaj | why are my laptop startup very slow in xubuntu | 17:24 |
| patarr | TJ-: funny you say that. First thing I did was apt-get kde on one of the tty terminals to see if i can reboot and get in. | 17:24 |
| Sevith | Is it possible to disable the screen from locking when too much time lapses? It seems like after 15 minutes the screen auto locks even though i thought I had that disabled in the power options and screen saver | 17:24 |
| legend | Has there been native Flash support for ubuntu like Adobe Flash player for Windows ? Or Adobe Flash player like for Linux which is open source ? | 17:25 |
| patarr | TJ-: I also saw this. What are your thoughts on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/184907/cant-login-to-unity-3d-after-enabling-xinerama-for-a-short-moment | 17:25 |

| kdz | hello there, i reinstalled ubuntu but i have permission issues | 17:27 |
| TJ- | patarr: well, the answer seems to show the same before and after for "Composite" - I assume that is a typo, but it makes sense *if* a custom xorg.conf has been created | 17:27 |
| kdz | how do i take ownership of folders and files inside folders? | 17:27 |
| rawrmonster | What is an easy to tell what the resolution of your screen is minus the space that the hud and top bar are taking up? | 17:27 |
| legend | cfhowlett, Is there any Open Source replacement for Adobe Flash Player which works natively with Linux ? | 17:27 |
| pankaj | hi | 17:27 |
| TJ- | patarr: I'm running 3 GPUS > 6 monitors here - Unity can't cope with that config | 17:27 |
| yeats | kdz: 'sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/folder' | 17:27 |

| ubottu | legend: Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 17:27 |
| patarr | TJ-: and you got that working on linux? Color me impressed. I'm having nothing but headache. | 17:27 |

| AcidRain | TJ-: thanks you! | 17:34 |
| Chewy455 | It seems there is a bug. Because I'm just getting a gray screen when remoting into it. | 17:35 |
| yeats | AcidRain: you can also do 'grep -R' which recursively searches all subdirectories too | 17:35 |
| Chewy455 | wait one moment | 17:35 |
| TJ- | AcidRain: to also search sub-directories, add "-r": "grep -rn "$userid" /path/to/dir/*" | 17:35 |

| zivester | does anyone know when 14.04.1 will be released to update-manager ? | 17:39 |
| zivester | assuming i should wait for that for my 12.04 upgrade | 17:39 |
| yeats | zivester: no need to wait | 17:39 |
| zivester | are you recommending sudo update-manager -d ? | 17:40 |
| TJ- | zivester: I think we're wating for all the mirrors to sync | 17:40 |
| yeats | zivester: no - 14.04 is not a development release - you should be able to upgrade normally | 17:40 |
| TJ- | zivester: when Trusty appears in this meta-release file, it'll be available: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts | 17:40 |
| zivester | ahh.. then update-manager should prompt me... does that usually take a couple days? i have some free time today so was hoping to do it now | 17:41 |
| yeats | zivester: 14.04 was release in April (am I missing something?) | 17:42 |
| lloydm | 14.10 is available? | 17:42 |
| TJ- | zivester: It's showing in -proposed, but it takes time for the mirrors to all catch up | 17:42 |

| TJ- | Ladon: you can test fstab entries without rebooting, using "sudo mount -a" | 17:47 |
| Ladon | well, when I run getfacl it tells me that I'm the owner/group and that u/g/o is all rwx | 17:48 |
| Ladon | but that's not the case | 17:48 |
| Eisroman | hi hackers | 17:48 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: It is probable that the kernel version was updated but the video driver (possibly proprietary package) wasn't, and therefore broke something. If the system boots to a text terminal you can look in "/var/log/kern.log", "/var/log/boot.log" and possibly "/va/log/Xorg.0.log" for clues | 17:48 |
| cfhowlett | Eisroman no hackers here - check your channel. | 17:48 |
| Eisroman | ok | 17:49 |

| Chewy455 | ok I'll just do it :) | 17:53 |
| TJ- | Chewy455: not so much which logs I want, but I was suggesting you may find clues in the logs. What I'd do is SSH in, then try to connect via VNC, then do "ls -latr /var/log/" to list the logs files with most recently changed last, then investigate the log-files/directories changed at the the time the VNC connection occurred | 17:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Thank you. I've got a term emulator. I've already --purge nvidia-* AND downloaded an older kernel image. Nothing appears to have helped :/ | 17:53 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK, so the GUI (X server) fails to start? I'd look in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" if that is the case | 17:54 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: You might also find useful clues for the Display Manager in log-files in "/var/log/lightdm/" | 17:54 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: You may need 'sudo' to "ls" or read some of those | 17:55 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, in kern.log I have a few failed messages. wl: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel | 17:55 |
| walkerpp | Hi all. I am on live ubuntu and I want to fix my grub that I overwrote with windows installation. Can anyone please tell me what I have to do now? | 17:55 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: Those are for out-of-tree kernel modules and Secure Boot signing - you can safely ignore those | 17:56 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, No need for kid gloves btw, I'm not adept at boot time debugging, but I practically live in the terminal | 17:56 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, ok. | 17:56 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: Oh, that's a nice change :) | 17:56 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, the other fail message in kern.log is ioapc: probe of 0000:00:13.0 failed with error -22 | 17:56 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: If the X server didn't even start, then Xorg.0.log won't be from the current boot... so use log-file timestamps as indications as to which logs are being updated for the current boot attempt | 17:57 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Something in power management? | 17:57 |
| Ladon | grrr, I used setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::rwx,o::rwx /mnt/ | 17:57 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Nah, this is in kern.log | 17:57 |

| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, AHHA! | 17:57 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: What is your system GPU configuration? | 17:57 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: my bet is, you haven't told the kernel to re-calculate the PCI bridges so theres not enough IOMEM address space | 17:58 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: what does "cat /proc/cmdline" show? | 17:58 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, It's a 2009 Mac Pro (I know, it's just what I've got to work with :/ ) The gpu is a GeForce 120 | 17:58 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: is that GPU the 00:13 device? check what address the PCI devices are on with "lspci -nn" | 17:59 |

| Chewy455 | LTS | 18:10 |
| nickhilr1 | yes | 18:10 |
| Chewy455 | And tight vnc or ultra vnc trying to login onto the virtualbox server. Local network | 18:11 |
| patarr | TJ-: whoops sent you a message in the wrong channel ;) | 18:11 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, vncserver wont work on 14.04 | 18:11 |
| Chewy455 | On a windows 7 starter notebook | 18:11 |
| Chewy455 | Ok | 18:11 |
| Chewy455 | What do you suppose I should do Doc? | 18:12 |
| compdoc | you need a 2D desktop, and Unity is only 3D now | 18:12 |
| Ozera|| | Does anyone know how to use unetbootin on ubuntu 12.04? It won't show all directories so I can't select my iso | 18:12 |
| TJ- | patarr: whoops! replied to you in the wrong channel :p | 18:12 |
| bekks | Ozera||: Which directory isnt shown? | 18:13 |
| Chewy455 | So find another distro or what? Because I set it up to use gnome relative to a tutorial I was following | 18:13 |
| Chewy455 | My apologies for my ignorance. | 18:13 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, well what I was forced to do is install Ubuntu Server, and the mate desktop, but any of the other supported versions of Ubuntu should work. like ubuntu-gnome. I like Mate because you can install any of the same gnome programs that work on Unity | 18:14 |
| GuyThatNeedsHelp | I was going to use KDE as my desktop env and ended up not wanting to use it so i did (sudo apt-get remove kde-full) and now when i turn my computer restarts i have this blueish page asking me to type my password. Does anyone know how i can get the default login page back? | 18:14 |
| patarr | GuyThatNeedsHelp: you'd need to re enable lightdm and its login manager somehow I think | 18:14 |
| patarr | TJ-: i will go and check :) | 18:14 |
| Chewy455 | wait wait. I'll show you my xstartup. Becaue what you're saying sounds liek what I've tried | 18:15 |
| Chewy455 | *like | 18:15 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7857928/ | 18:15 |
| Ozera|| | bekks, it only shows "Computer" and "root" under that | 18:16 |
| bekks | Ozera||: So doubleclick on root. | 18:16 |
| Ozera|| | bekks, and in root, it only shows a folder called 'sketchbook' | 18:16 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, Ive tried for a long time to get the current Unity to work in vncserver, becuase I like it | 18:16 |
| compdoc | but it wont | 18:16 |
| Chewy455 | paste.ubuntu.com/7857943/ | 18:17 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I've never seen pastbinit before. THIS IS AWESOME | 18:17 |
| Ozera|| | bekks, the only folder in / is 'sketchbook; | 18:17 |
| Chewy455 | Well in the tutorial I had to apt-get the gnome desktop for the vnc server connection | 18:17 |
| Chewy455 | and also ech time I specified 1024x600 well I chose that as I was araid highr would be overkill or something. | 18:18 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK, so the GPU is "05:00.0" ... I'm suspicious of the " ioapc: probe of 0000:00:13.0 failed with error -22" but that *just may* be expected on a Mac... "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" and lets see if there's anything else there | 18:18 |
| aa | hola | 18:20 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7857968/ | 18:20 |
| DrShoggoth | does anybody know a good tool to extract a cue sheet from a cd image? Besides for burning it and re-ripping of course | 18:21 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, this is my current xstart. Maybe you can use 'gnome-classic' at the bottom instead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7857970/ | 18:21 |
| compdoc | and gnome-panel | 18:21 |
| DrShoggoth | mkcue - Generates a CUE sheet from a CD <---- I'm thinking I should have checked the repository first... ignore my question :) | 18:21 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, # cat /etc/issue => Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 18:22 |
| slipttees | I'm trying to install nautilus-dropbox .... just that it does not complete the install my dpkg is locked, asking to run dpkg - configure-a only time I've ever done several and not conclude, how can you ignoring it and removing this package? | 18:23 |
| Cuby96 | hi, im having a problem with the sound. can someone help me please? | 18:23 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Also, fyi, I'm on gnome | 18:23 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK, the GPU driver is the open-source Nvidia nouveau. Can you check if there is a custom "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" - if there is, pastebinit ? | 18:24 |
| patarr | TJ-: failed to obtain gnome-session instance unknown parameter XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 18:25 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I actually purged that driver too before I got on the chat. So right now I have no graphics driver at all and I'm on kernel image 13.3.0-24 (BUt i have the more recent images available) | 18:25 |
| DrShoggoth | ok... so that doesn't work, it has to be a real cdrom, so back to needing a way to extract a cue or toc from a cd image | 18:26 |
| Chewy455 | Doc it's baautiful. It's a connection. But it seems like it's just showing me the terminal is that normal? | 18:26 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, No custom xorg.conf. I've just been letting gdm do the work for me. | 18:26 |
| patarr | TJ-: but like... why the hell is touching something gnome related when Im running KDE. | 18:26 |
| Chewy455 | *beautiful | 18:26 |
| Chewy455 | ah yes of course.xterminal emulator | 18:27 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK... I was wondering if xorg.conf had a custom nvidia entry which would of course fail if the kernel driver is nouveau. | 18:27 |
| slipttees | I'm trying to install nautilus-dropbox .... just that it does not complete the install my dpkg is locked, asking to run dpkg --configure -a every time. But I've ever done several times and won't work , how can you ignoring it and removing this package? | 18:27 |
| mrme | is it ok to give /boot 6 gb and give ext 4 type ? | 18:28 |
| TJ- | patarr: I don't know, that error log gets all sorts of weird reports, no datestamps, no process names... so rarely helpful! | 18:28 |
| Cuby96 | hi, im having a problem with the sound. can someone help me please?. | 18:28 |
| bekks | mrme: 6GB is wasting 5.5GB at least :) | 18:28 |
| TJ- | mrme: You'll never use 600MB let alone 6GB for /boot/ | 18:28 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I can install nvidia-current if you think it would help. If I reboot, any thoughts on which kernel image I should use? | 18:28 |
| patarr | TJ-: I tried enabling Composition in Xorg. Didn't work. Now I'm truly stumped. :'( | 18:28 |
| mrme | TJ- so i give it 512 ? | 18:28 |
| mrme | TJ- and ext 2 ? | 18:29 |
| nickhilr1 | i am new to linux and about to install ubuntu 14.04 64bit on my pc running on a 64bit amd processor and have 12Gs ram, how much swap area must i allocate while installing ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| nickhilr1 | anyone | 18:29 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I also added the xorg-edgers ppa for more current drivers, I was hoping that would fix the problem but it doesn't seem to have helped yet | 18:29 |
| Chewy455 | ok doc I just done an apt-get update through that terminal. And it updated something. So is that applied. Or must I do that on the original user account? | 18:29 |
| Chewy455 | And do you have any tips or what to search for further to watch the logs of terminals being used in thi way? | 18:30 |
| Chewy455 | *this | 18:30 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: The nouveau driver is part of the kernel package, and the related xorg drivers. What do you mean by having "purged" it? | 18:30 |
| bekks | mrme: 512M, ext4. | 18:30 |
| samsul | !swap | 18:30 |
| TJ- | mrme: 512MB for /boot/ is fine ^^^ as bekks says | 18:30 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 18:30 |
| patarr | TJ-: perhaps try Twinview? | 18:31 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, apt-get remove --purge | 18:31 |
| Chewy455 | Doc you're super cool love you. Seriously. I can even use my Nano in it :) | 18:31 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, apt-get update doesnt do anything but refresh the server list that ubuntu uses to download the updates from | 18:32 |
| mrme | bekks i got box that says the size you entered is smaller than the minimum size of the partition please enter a larger size to continue | 18:32 |
| compdoc | Chewy455, try: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:32 |
| Chewy455 | Oh I thought it updates the current installed packages | 18:32 |
| Chewy455 | ok | 18:32 |
| TJ- | patarr: Have you tried the Guest log-in in case it is a per-user setting causing this, at least it would help narrow down the possibilities | 18:32 |
| bekks | mrme: 512 != 512M | 18:32 |
| mrme | yes ! i guess you can't assign ext4 ? maybe i need to use ext2 with 512 M | 18:33 |
| Chewy455 | boooom! | 18:33 |
| bekks | mrme: Of course you can assign ext4. | 18:33 |
| Chewy455 | It' on its own mission :D | 18:33 |
| compdoc | lol | 18:33 |
| Chewy455 | And that applies across the whole VM? | 18:33 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, apt-get remove --purge noveau-firmware xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xsever-xorg-video-nouveau-dbg | 18:33 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: I think you should ensure all package dependencies are good with "apt-get -f install" then try "service lightdm start" (all with "sudo " prefix) and then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 18:33 |
| compdoc | it applies to the OS | 18:33 |
| slipttees | I'm trying to install nautilus-dropbox .... just that it does not complete the install my dpkg is locked, asking to run dpkg --configure -a every time. But I've ever done several times and won't work , how can you ignoring it and removing this package? | 18:34 |
| Chewy455 | :D | 18:34 |
| Chewy455 | :D:D:D:D | 18:34 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: Ouch... that may well have double-broke the poor X server | 18:34 |
| kstenger | I'm trying to reinstall a /boot partition with grub on an usb stick for which grub got broken after an update. I did everything in http://pastie.org/9420314 however grub-install is still not finding any instance of linux. I need serious help with this, as I've done all the necesary steps, and folowed every posible guide so far. | 18:34 |
| patarr | Are Lubuntu Kubuntu and the likes behind Ubuntu in any way? Or do they still use the same repos but just come with different packages installed? | 18:34 |
| Chewy455 | I mean sadly I wasn't able to get what I wanted done today. But I mean with OS technology it's fogivable. But you sincerely helped me. I'm so grateful buddy :) | 18:35 |
| Chewy455 | *forgivable | 18:35 |
| Chewy455 | *Open Source | 18:35 |
| mrme | beaks alright it worked when i changed from primary to logical | 18:35 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, :/ | 18:35 |
| mrme | bekks alright it worked when i changed from primary to logical | 18:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, apt-get -f install did nothing | 18:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I don't have lightdm, but I'll try with gdm | 18:36 |
| bekks | mrme: that doesnt matter, I guess you changed another parameter as well. | 18:36 |
| loa | how i can stop samba in ubuntu? | 18:36 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should ensure all the dependencies are in place (assuming you're using Unity - otherwise replace 'ubuntu-desktop' with the one you're using) | 18:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, The base install was server addition. Everything else was built on top of that. So should I reinstall nouveau? | 18:37 |
| LeMike | hm. ubuntu or debian? I dunno if I switch to debian. if debian is up to date like ubuntu with it's packages then I would love to! is it? | 18:37 |
| mrme | beaks maybe ok do i assign all other free space to home ? | 18:37 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: hang on, let me check on the top package required | 18:37 |
| compdoc | sudo status smbd, sudo stop smbd | 18:37 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, sudo apt-get install gnome, everything is newest version. (I think that's the right metapackage) | 18:37 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: "apt-get install xserver-xorg" *should* pull in "xserver-xorg-video-all" which depends on "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" | 18:38 |
| Chewy455 | Ok. Now I can go forward until I hit a brick wall. This should help me with my libpcap and tcpdump computer forensic book. I should head off as my ex wants to watch ramseys kitchen nightmares with me. Thank you all and Especially Doc. I'll try and pop in more often. This place is wonderful. | 18:39 |
| * Chewy455 smiles and waves | 18:39 | |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: Assuming the packages are installed, do the 'gdm' start test and lets look at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 18:39 |
| nickhilr1 | ubottu: thanks | 18:40 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 18:40 |

| karin | Hey guys is anybody having flash problems since updating to 14.04? | 18:40 |
| bekks | karin: Whats your actual question? :) | 18:41 |
| Gin^ | Got a rather strange issue perhaps someone could help me identify the problem too. Occationally, more often then once every few minutes, keyboard gets stuck spamming the letter 'A' in any application I have open for the time beeing. Disconnecting the keyboard does not solve the problem. Though a quick double tap on A key does. Any ideas on whats causing this? | 18:42 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, What is the datestamp in the log files? Is it unix time? | 18:42 |
| dexx | gentlemen, does anyone use Autodesk Maya 2015? | 18:42 |
| bekks | Gin^: That sounds like a defective A key on the keyboard. | 18:42 |
| dexx | (and ladies, of course) | 18:42 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: yes | 18:42 |
| mrme | if i have two hard disk can i assign storage from both hard disk to home ? | 18:43 |
| chris112 | ubuntu gnome keeps forgetting display configuration. how can i fix that? | 18:43 |
| bekks | mrme: No. | 18:43 |
| destre | ubuntu gnome keeps forgetting display configuration. how can i fix that? | 18:43 |
| bprompt | Gin^: yeah... just open up the keyboard, give it some clean up while at it =), and check the rubbier or metal spring in the letter A, since it seems to somewhat be getting stuck | 18:44 |
| karin | Hi bekks, since I updated, Chrome doesn't work with flash videos online, YouTube runs smooth tho and I have no problems with Firefox, I've heard this is a common problem and that 14.04 fixed it for some people but it didn't work with me! | 18:44 |
| Gin^ | bekks: tried they keyboard on a windows 8 installation, aswell as a LM installation without any issues. Are Ubuntu prone to be more affected by keyboard hardware issues? | 18:44 |
| mrme | bekks so what can i do with the other hard disk in my laptop :/ what do i assign it for | 18:44 |
| bekks | mrme: something like /data for example. | 18:44 |
| TJ- | Gin^: I suppose it could be some of the Accessibility 'sticky keys' settings affecting that, though I doubt it. Sounds more like the keyboard isn't sending the key-up event so the auto-repeat kicks in. Are you able to try a different external keyboard? | 18:44 |
| Gin^ | bprompt: see my answer to beeks | 18:44 |
| bekks | Gin^: No, it isnt. Did you try another keyboard? | 18:45 |
| bekks | karin: I am using Chrome on 14.04 without any issues. | 18:45 |
| Gin^ | bekks: Not for the time beeing, Im rather short on keyboard these days :P | 18:45 |
| TJ- | Gin^: I remember a long time ago there used to be an issue that if you held down the Ctrl key (I think it was) for a time it engaged the stick-keys or some other accessibility feature, which caused weird behaviour | 18:45 |
| mrme | beaks right now my laptop is 1500 gb 750+750 i assigned 50gb to / and 20gb /opt 30gb /var /usr /tmp /usr/local /srv / 512mb /boot i still have 500 gb from the first hard disk and 750 from the other hard disk | 18:45 |
| mrme | bekks right now my laptop is 1500 gb 750+750 i assigned 50gb to / and 20gb /opt 30gb /var /usr /tmp /usr/local /srv / 512mb /boot i still have 500 gb from the first hard disk and 750 from the other hard disk | 18:46 |
| Gin^ | TJ-: Thanks, gonna look at the accessibility options, and try find a old keyboard somewhere | 18:46 |
| karin | Where did you get chrome, bekks, official page? | 18:46 |
| mrme | TJ- please read my last statement its my last question | 18:46 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Starting gdm has no effect on the Xorg log file. Nothing changes at all | 18:46 |
| bekks | mrme: You are wasting space. An Ubuntu installation runs perfectly with 20GB overall. | 18:46 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: which suggests gdm isn't doing much | 18:47 |
| mrme | alright what do you suggest me to do with the storage i have ? ubuntu says i need to mount it to something or i will not use it | 18:47 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: maybe its stuck in the 'started' state? Have you tried "service gdm stop && service gdm start" ? | 18:47 |
| genoobie | hey all | 18:48 |
| bekks | mrme: I suggest not wasting space. :) 512M for /boot, 20G for /, 4G for /home, and the space left on the harddisks for /data and /data2 | 18:48 |
| walterwoj | Can someone help me with an error while updating. I keep getting: fatal error, aborting: reading files list for package 'libxres1:i386': Input/output error | 18:48 |
| genoobie | just isntalled lubuntu, running into a few problems | 18:48 |
| destre | Gin^: yeah... just open up the keyboard, give it some clean up while at it =), and check the rubbier or metal spring in the letter A, since it seems to somewhat be getting stuck | 18:48 |
| mrme | bekks i don't have any /data and /data2 in the mount choices | 18:48 |
| bekks | mrme: You can create them. | 18:48 |
| destre | Gin^: yeah... just open up the keyboard, give it some clean up while at it =), and check the rubbier or metal spring in the letter A, since it seems to somewhat be getting stuck | 18:48 |
| Gin^ | destre: Will do, The question for asking was that it runs flawless on 2 other installations. | 18:49 |
| genoobie | at any rate, the issue is do I use a "proprietary" video driver or Xorg | 18:49 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, trying to stop gdm gives Unknown Instance | 18:49 |
| destre | TJ-, Starting gdm has no effect on the Xorg log file. Nothing changes at all | 18:49 |
| genoobie | when I use the proprietary driver and run minecraft it crashes / gets stuck | 18:49 |
| mrme | bekks ohhh ok :D what about the other partitions /tmp /srv .... do i need to give them anything ? | 18:49 |
| genoobie | Xorg, no such problem | 18:49 |
| bekks | mrme: you dont need them. | 18:49 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Thoughts on vdpau-driver? | 18:49 |
| genoobie | is there any advantage to using a proprietary driver vs x? | 18:49 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK, you're sure your system is using gdm not lightdm? | 18:49 |
| mrme | beaks thanks just curious then who needs them ? | 18:50 |
| TJ- | genoobie: For Nvidia, very often much much better 3D acceleration performance | 18:50 |
| bekks | mrme: people that run servers, and have to put data on a dedicated filesystem. | 18:50 |
| destre | TJ-, Starting gdm has no effect on the Xorg log file. Nothing changes at all | 18:50 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, It's ubuntu server. It doesn't even have lightdm installed | 18:50 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: OK, so you've customised the X server startup then? | 18:51 |
| mrme | beaks thanks alot you taught me a lot | 18:51 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, Nope, I just installed the gnome metapackage which set up gdm | 18:51 |
| genoobie | so TJ- can I "fix" the crashing problem with minecraft or other compatibility? I was using the latest 331 driver, but there is an option for a legacy driver. Considering the hardware is 6-7 years old, would that be a better approach? | 18:51 |
| mrme | beaks thanks a lot you taught me a lot * | 18:51 |
| kdz | minecraft works well on windows | 18:51 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I thought about going with no startup manager, but gdm was easier | 18:51 |
| TJ- | genoobie: If the latest driver supports the GPU, then keep it. Something else will be at issue... possibly lack of GPU memory, for example | 18:52 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, maybe you also can look at the log files in /var/log/gdm/ ? | 18:52 |
| walterwoj | has anyone else had any trouble with updating libxres1:i386 ? | 18:52 |
| genoobie | oh, hrm | 18:52 |
| genoobie | TJ-, any way to address that issue? | 18:52 |
| TJ- | genoobie: Usually no, unless the GPU is replaced | 18:52 |
| TJ- | genoobie: but it pays to identify the true cause first. I'd be looking for a minecraft debug logging option | 18:53 |
| genoobie | TJ-, well it doesn't "crash" the computer just freezes up | 18:53 |
| genoobie | the GPU is supported in the driver | 18:54 |
| TJ- | genoobie: overheating? | 18:54 |
| genoobie | any way to log that temperature? | 18:54 |
| genoobie | I can see the temp in nvidia-settings | 18:54 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, are you using the default ubuntu-gnome-desktop from trusty (gnome 3.10)? or are you using any gnome3-staging ppas with gnome 3.12 (those caused on my system a similar problem)? | 18:54 |
| TJ- | genoobie: The nvidia-settings GUI allows you to see the temperatures | 18:54 |
| genoobie | TJ-, yes, but if it "crashes" I won't know what the temp is when it dies | 18:55 |
| genoobie | TJ-, it's quite possible that it's overheating | 18:55 |
| JokesOnYou77 | syntroPi, I'm on 3.10, but I do have that ppa installed, maybe purge that ppa? | 18:55 |
| genoobie | TJ-, wouldn't you expect Xorg to have the same result? | 18:55 |
| TJ- | genoobie: No, since it doesn't exercise the GPU in the same way | 18:56 |
| genoobie | Gotcha, thanks | 18:56 |
| genoobie | now when the computer freezes what options do I have | 18:56 |
| destre | Can someone help me with an error while updating. I keep getting: fatal error, aborting: reading files list for package 'libxres1:i386': Input/output error | 18:56 |
| TJ- | genoobie: this is one of the problems with proprietary drivers, they don't expose standard interface for monitoring temperatures | 18:56 |
| genoobie | ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything | 18:56 |
| TJ- | genoobie: I'd bet (weakly) on overheating | 18:57 |
| genoobie | okay. | 18:57 |
| genoobie | I could set the fan on full and see if that helps. | 18:57 |
| walterwoj | destre: That is me your quoting... | 18:57 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, i used that ppa and did a dist-upgrade on it to get 3.12. then i got that issue that gdm login didnt show up (just black screen with mouse). after i ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging and reverting back to the stock 3.10 that issue disappeared for me | 18:57 |
| genoobie | so TJ- not really much of a solution is there. | 18:58 |
| genoobie | TJ-, the idling temp is about 60 | 18:58 |
| pschmitt | Hi, I'm having some trouble with dm-crypt | 18:58 |
| pidybi | need GPS for Ubuntu, any idea? | 18:58 |
| pidybi | GPS map&guide 8 | 18:58 |
| pschmitt | is cryptsetup supposed to read its config from /etc/crypptab just like mount does with /etc/fstab? | 18:59 |
| JokesOnYou77 | syntroPi, I can try that. But the issue that I'm having is that X isn't even starting | 18:59 |

| d45611 | hi folks. I'm ssh'ing into a machine running Ubuntu 14.04. When I start screen it wont start in 256 colors. it gives me this error -bash: screen-256color: command not found. I researched this problem and it looks like the Terminal program on my mac is running XTerm 256 colors. Do I need to edit a file on the remote machine to correspond with this? If so, how can I do this please? | 18:59 |

| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I rebooted, in kern.log does this mean anything to you: noveau 0000:05:00.0 registered panic notifier | 19:01 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: That is usually the final message from the driver; normal | 19:01 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, hmm have you tried starting it in recovery mode (from grub) and then "resume"? that kinda worked on my system when i had that issue. | 19:01 |
| syntroPi | on same kernel ofc | 19:02 |
| JokesOnYou77 | syntroPi, I did in fact try that. I've also tried different kernel versions | 19:02 |
| JokesOnYou77 | syntroPi, Good catch though | 19:03 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, what do you mean by Xorg isnt even starting? Empty Xorg.0.log? | 19:03 |
| syntroPi | on my sys it partially started then froze | 19:03 |
| syntroPi | so i hat some lines in there | 19:03 |
| genoobie | TJ-, the screen definitely looks better with the Nvidia driver running | 19:04 |
| AcidRain | grep -l "$userid" /var/www/wwb/*.php | cut -d: -f1 this appears to return all files. even when it doesnt match | 19:05 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: sounds like you need to debug the gdm startup scripts... something in its config may have it disabled | 19:05 |
| patarr | Are Lubuntu Kubuntu and the likes behind Ubuntu in any way? Or do they still use the same repos but just come with different packages installed? | 19:05 |
| JokesOnYou77 | syntroPi, running sudo service start gdm, no lines are added to Xorg.0.log | 19:05 |
| AcidRain | however, the word "userid" was found in the file. but im searching for "$userid" | 19:05 |
| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, I think you're right. Is there a way to test that theory? # startx ? | 19:05 |
| AcidRain | actually that doesnt work at all. it returns all files in the dir | 19:06 |
| Slagwag | hey ubuntuers | 19:06 |
| TJ- | AcidRain: "$userid" is expanded by the shell into the contents of the variable "userid" - if that is empty, you're doing an empty search. You need to *escape* the $ sign with "\$userid" or use single quotes '$userid' | 19:06 |

| _1_Daniel | Hola | 19:07 |
| TJ- | JokesOnYou77: Long time since I had to debug the init scripts... I usually read them, and deduce which configs they are reading that control conditional actions, and then go read the config files themselves to understand how the service script would behave | 19:07 |
| _1_Daniel | Ok | 19:08 |
| Slagwag | i also tried adding to /etc/apt/apt.conf and putting aquire::http::proxy - then puttin in that http path | 19:08 |
| _1_Daniel | Espanp | 19:08 |
| syntroPi | JokesOnYou77, what about the log files in /var/log/gdm/ | 19:08 |
| _1_Daniel | Espano | 19:08 |

| JokesOnYou77 | TJ-, syntroPi Sorry, meant :0-greeter.log | 19:13 |

| TJ- | Slagwag: Can you manually access the proxy server using, say, curl? | 19:22 |

| dominik | hello. I am new user of ubuntu. earlier i was using manjaro but new laptop do not like manjaro one. Can u tell me what i have to do here after clear instalation of ubuntu ( 14.04 with unity) on laptop? | 20:35 |
| aetherix | Hey I'm looking for a linux alternative for snagit. Any good screen capturing software that you would recommend? | 20:35 |
| Rohan_m | Pici: when i send http://mywpge.com/process.php?var=6+6 I only get 6 there not 6+6 | 20:36 |
| aetherix | dominik, I would recommend installing the latest updates. | 20:37 |
| nvidia | is there a "quick" setup to make unity behave more like a normal desktop? (look more like windows or something)? I mean, the window's menu bar is at the top of the screen now, etc | 20:37 |
| xangua | nvidia: sudo apt-get install xubuntu kubuntu lubuntu, you choose | 20:37 |
| dominik | yeah yeah i know i done it. but whats more? i used earlier manjaro with kde and xfce. | 20:37 |
| xangua | they are more 'traditional' desktop enviroments | 20:38 |
| aetherix | dominik, what are you looking for specifically? | 20:38 |
| nvidia | i like the unity application tray though.. I suppose you can't have it in xubuntu? | 20:39 |
| ramio | hello what is the command for c++ ?? | 20:39 |
| nvidia | ramio: g++ | 20:39 |
| miqui | gcc | 20:39 |
| Guest87698 | Do you mean he gcc command to cimple a cpp file? | 20:39 |
| dominik | some tweaks for batery ( sth like power managament ( for powersaving plan and normal work) | 20:39 |
| ramio | g++ project.cpp that is rigth command ? | 20:39 |
| nvidia | yes | 20:39 |
| ramio | ok what about gcc that is for what ? | 20:40 |
| nvidia | ramio: g++ is a shorthand for gcc with certain parameters | 20:40 |
| Guest87698 | gcc is a frontend for g++ and others | 20:40 |
| miqui | man gcc | 20:40 |
| nvidia | ramio: what guest said is more correct | 20:40 |
| dominik | and some other software what will be helpfull with using mine laptop:) | 20:40 |
| Guest87698 | A.K.A you can use gcc for a bunch of diffferent languages vs. g++ which is c++ only | 20:41 |
| nvidia | ramio: gcc executes g++ in the background, but you'll have to give it parameters such as gcc -lang=c++ or something, iirc | 20:41 |
| ramio | ok | 20:42 |
| Guest87698 | nvidia: You can actuall just do {gcc source.cpp -o source.out} | 20:43 |
| Guest87698 | And then | 20:43 |
| Guest87698 | {source.out} to run it | 20:43 |
| ramio | thank you people but i have to go ^^ ..... | 20:43 |
| Guest87698 | Bye | 20:43 |
| nvidia | nice, thanks | 20:43 |
| nvidia | but any reason why i'd do that instead of g++? | 20:44 |
| Guest87698 | Maybe if your sources contained multiple languages... honestly for just c++ there is no difference | 20:44 |

| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all. I got a new kernel image and now I can't start gdm. I have ruled out the GPU as a problem. I am able to run sudo startx and get a gnome session as root. But I can't start gdm | 20:46 |
| ImJune | hmm | 20:47 |
| Guest87698 | ImJune: Just checking | 20:47 |
| ImJune | its ok | 20:47 |
| aetherix | dominik, if you look in the unity menu, you will find energy settings in the settings manager | 20:47 |
| Guest87698 | If gdm is failing why not use lightdm? | 20:47 |
| dominik | yeah but its not that what im looking for:) | 20:47 |
| maciek_ | sorry if you talking about compilers, clang is also good choice ? | 20:47 |
| ImJune | basically the headphone jack is the issue | 20:48 |
| aetherix | dominik, and for application, have a look in the Ubuntu store. It's easy to browse them there. | 20:48 |
| aetherix | Oh you need a specific setting? | 20:48 |

| ImJune | Not sure let me check system profile | 20:51 |
| ImJune | the jack is working fine | 20:51 |

| SharkMa-san | system tray is one of the most annoying things in Unity... you need to install extra packages to get (older) programs to show up there... you'd think it would support the way gnome and kde have handled system tray icons, but no | 20:52 |

| reisio | ZZRMike: the most straightforward way, IMO, is to uninstall or wholly disable the drivers you don't want to use, and do the opposite for those you do | 21:27 |

Currently in the windoze, vlc will freeze up on pretty much any video larger than 480p {however wms plays my hd vid | 21:47 |
| curx | bekks k1l it's a screen rez error or undetected gpu or something | 21:47 |

| Etale | Apparently, if I change the bios to Legacy, this no longer happens. | 22:13 |
| Etale | Is that a reasonable solution, just to keep it on legacy? | 22:13 |
| Etale | I want to dual boot with Windows 8. | 22:13 |
| ZZRMike | Etale: can you install in legacy mode and then reset bios after? | 22:13 |
| Etale | Another option there is to do "both" legacy and EFI, while trying Legacy first. Is that preferable? Are all of these options terrible? | 22:13 |
| Etale | Oh, maybe, ZZRMike... | 22:14 |
| TJ- | ZZRMike: So you copied over ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ? | 22:14 |
| ZZRMike | TJ- Correct | 22:14 |
| David17059 | Hello everybody- | 22:14 |
| TJ- | ZZRMike: first, try getting more debug info locally by using "ssh -vvv ..." If that doesn't give enough clues, on the server, check "/var/log/auth.log" | 22:15 |
| David17059 | I'm having WiFi connectivity issues if anyone is able to assist, I'd Appreciate it immensely | 22:16 |
| David17059 | I'm... a Linux noob lol | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Etale: Switching over to an EFI boot configuration is a rather convoluted operation | 22:16 |
| ZZRMike | David17059: What's your issue? | 22:17 |
| Etale | TJ-, ZZRMike, is there any downside to just staying with legacy forever? | 22:17 |
| ZZRMike | Etale: To be honest, I don't know. I would assume no, but my understanding of EFI is limited. | 22:18 |
| TJ- | Etale: It kind of defeats the point of EFI and might get annoying having to select between them, depends on how the UEFI firmware handles it | 22:18 |
| TJ- | Etale: As the disk is a GPT EFI bootable it'll default to to using EFI and starting the default OS | 22:19 |
| Etale | I don't understand anything. What is EFI even for? How is it helpful? | 22:19 |

| ubottu | Etale: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:21 |
| Bashing-om | Etale: For startrsd, support for larger hard drives, better partitoning, and is faster then 'legacy'when using UEFI (EFI) . | 22:21 |
| akurilin | What does it usually mean when you try to start an application from cmdline and you're told "Error: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah?" | 22:21 |

| * TJ- wonders if that laptop has an issue with efifb (EFI FrameBuffer display driver) | 22:22 | |
| ObrienDave | Etale, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface | 22:23 |
| Etale | So the downside to using legacy all the time is that the computer will be slower? Is that noticeable? | 22:23 |
| svip | It also said it couldn't load the splash screen, but I didn't consider that so problematic. | 22:23 |
| TJ- | Etale: Boot will be slightly slower, and more annoying since you'll have to manually select a BIOS-only boot (if the firmware allows that) to boot Ubuntu | 22:24 |
| TJ- | ubunt | 22:24 |
| ZZRMike | TJ- I tried running it with -vvv and it says "we sent a publickey packet, waiting for reply" and then says "Authentications that can continue: publickey, password" then searches for other possible private keys and then reverts to password, any idea? | 22:26 |

| TJ- | ZZRMike: OK, so look at the server's "/var/log/auth.log" | 22:30 |
| Pici | ZZRMike: Do you have a password to the server? Typically I just trust ssh-copy-id to do the work for me if I can. | 22:30 |
| svip | How do I tell apt-get/aptitude to just remove all packages that depend on an abstract package? | 22:32 |
| ZZRMike | TJ-: I can't see anything that stands out, I've got "tail -f /var/log/auth.log" in another session | 22:32 |
| svip | Upgrading with texlive-full installed has made things rather weird. | 22:32 |
| svip | But I don't mind just getting rid of everything texlive for now. | 22:32 |
| Bashing-om | svip: How did you install 'texlive' ? | 22:34 |
| kikko | aiuto | 22:35 |
| kikko | non parlo inglese | 22:35 |
| svip | Bashing-om: apt-get install texlive-full | 22:35 |
| TJ- | ZZRMike: did you try removing the entry from authorized_keys and using 'ssh-copy-id' to put it back in? | 22:36 |
| ZZRMike | Pici: as in can I log in with a password? | 22:36 |
| Pici | ZZRMike: yes. | 22:36 |
| ZZRMike | TJ- no, I'll give that a try. | 22:36 |
| Bashing-om | svip: Then, if the package manager is in a hppsy state, one could do -> sudo apt-get remove texlive-full <- to remove it ( and leave the config files) . | 22:36 |
| kikko | italiano | 22:36 |
| svip | Bashing-om: That didn't work, so I just removed all the packages it was bothered about manually. | 22:37 |
| svip | Because it upgraded some of the packages, but not all. | 22:37 |
| svip | Bashing-om: I decided to purge, because I cannot really use tex configuration anyway. | 22:37 |
| codygman | What is an easy way to check the status of a running upstart program from a another upstart managed program? I know I could just use the output of the shell command "service programname status", but was wondering if there was a better way. | 22:38 |
| TJ- | codygman: It's usually "initctl status JOB" for Upstart only. 'service' handles sysV init scripts too. | 22:39 |
| Bashing-om | svip: OH no ! .. manually rm'n packages behind the package manager's back is not a good thing to do // What now returns from -> sudo apt-get -f install <- ? | 22:40 |
| codygman | TJ-: Oh okay. | 22:40 |
| svip | Bashing-om: No, I mean through the package manager, by telling specifically all the packages I wanted to remove. | 22:40 |
| ZZRMike | TJ-, Pici, figured it out, apparently ssh was configured to point at a different location for authorized_keys... | 22:41 |
| kikko | kikko(e.ballicu@gmail.com) | 22:41 |
| ZZRMike | Time to waddle over to the noob corner with my dunce cap | 22:41 |
| svip | Bashing-om: However, how do I step through the output of a command? apt-get dist-upgrade is telling me it will delete 56 packages, but I cannot tell which. | 22:41 |
| svip | Scroll lock wasn't much help, because the output is simply too fast. | 22:41 |
| jackarius86 | does anyone know why the reset command in aterm only resets what the screen is showing, and nothing before that? | 22:42 |
| Bashing-om | svip: OK, much better // So the PM removed texlive // yes ? .. now what is the particular problem ? | 22:42 |
| Etale | Okay, I'm back. To remind you I'm doing a dual boot Ubuntu Windows. I'm in the installation now. I'm at the stage of determining partitions. Should I allocate a partition to swap, or is that automatic? | 22:42 |

| svip | Bashing-om: Because it is above the terminal's size. | 22:47 |

| svip | But without X running, there are no scroll bars or whatever, I am just in a tty. | 22:48 |
| Etale | Okay, so he makes one which is ext2 mounted on boot that is only 256MB in size? Should I also have mine that small? Or does it depend on how much RAM I have? (Which is a lot: 16GB) | 22:48 |
| Etale | Sorry, 248MB. | 22:48 |
| Bashing-om | svip: Whoh, that much to be removed, can not be a good thing ! how about something like -> sudo apt-get remove -s texlive-full > go.txt <- which will "simulate" what it will do and post that info to the txt file 'go.txt' . Yeah, best look real close ! | 22:50 |
| Etale | 65GB should be more than enough for the windows partition, right? | 22:50 |
| svip | Bashing-om: Ah, that worked. | 22:51 |
| svip | Bashing-om: By the way, I am past texlive now, and moved onto dist-upgrade. | 22:51 |
| Bashing-om | svip: Like you, we really want to know why that much and what is to be removed .. why oh why ! | 22:52 |
| svip | Bashing-om: Eh, most of it was old packages, like apache2 and ubuntuone. | 22:53 |
| ProfessorKaos64 | I saw the report that kernel 3.13.0-32 was released, but when I go to upgrade, it is held back. Is there a dependency I am missing? | 22:53 |

| svip | Bashing-om: Of course. | 22:54 |
| svip | I looked at the list of packages to remove, none of them worry me. | 22:54 |
| svip | They are just related to all sorts of utils I've installed, like ghostscript and imagemagick. | 22:55 |
